30. Inauguration Ceremony and Coming of Age Ceremony (3)

Sarah’s face was full of arrogant smiles.

‘How dare you bully Jezebel!’

I listened closely to the conversation between Elijah and Jezebel.

Elijah openly insulted Jezebel.

‘I’ll pay you back!’

You cannot directly touch that Elijah.

A sorcerer called the Second Coming of the Age of Myth.

I don’t know how strong it actually is, but I’m afraid to touch it carelessly.

However, the guy next to him is different.

Judah.

The guy who just went through the ordination ceremony as an escort knight today.

And five years ago, he’s also the devil who uttered the terrifying words that he was going to rip his limbs off.

‘Huh. I’m not the old me anymore.’

He gnashed his teeth 5 years ago.

One day, I absolutely wanted to pay back the humiliation of that day to Judas.

And then the right day came.

Sarah brought two escort knights with her.

Both of them are proficient in swordsmanship as well as bare-handed fighting.

One is similar in size to Judas, and the other is taller.

Sarah more confidently than anyone else approached Elijah’s dressing room.

A man was standing in front of him.

The hardened expression seemed to be in serious trouble.

A large body that looks like a piece of a gate standing, not a person.

The muscles that stood out even above the black uniform were wild.

Sarah was displeased with the outfit.

Conquest in black and gold.

A costume that is only allowed for knights of the Bevel family.

‘On the subject of serving an illegitimate woman….’

Sarah chinned her bodyguard.

It is said that the opponent is not ordinary, but it is only one person.

The fact that one of them had defeated Jezebel’s 1st unit of the Dark Haengdan by himself was information that Sara couldn’t know.

As the two escort knights approached, Judas raised his head as if blocking the door.

“What are you doing?”

“Lady Sarah, the fifth of the Bebel family, has come to visit me on business.”

“I have not heard from Lady Elijah that her guests are coming.”

That meant I couldn’t take it.

But Sarah’s side did not back down.

“Does it mean that you will ignore the traditional order of pure-blood lineal descendants at least as an illegitimate child?”

Judas was more puzzled than angry.

The fact that Elijah is an illegitimate child is the family situation of the Bebel family.

The escort knight who dared to serve them was not something to talk about.

By the way, the escort article proudly mentioned it.

Their owner behind them, Sarah, didn’t complain either.

On the contrary, he is grinning.

Judas nodded her head inwardly.

That Sara allowed it.

Today is Elijah’s birthday.

And now, he himself has become a servant of Elijah.

It is not an intermediate candidate status.

She couldn’t get away with it like before.

‘Let’s wait….’

Judah spoke politely again.

“He ordered no one to enter.”

“It is dirty to hide something insignificant.”

“… ….”

Sarah laughed at Judas, who did not rebel.

A tickling ecstasy rose in my heart.

This is the feeling.

The pleasure of squeezing things that are installed without knowing the subject with status, money, and power.

Overwhelming sense of superiority overturns the feelings of the person who looked down on him.

For his sake, Sarah deliberately hid her identity.

The absolute social superiority she has as a human being, and the satisfaction that comes from it, fills her heart deeply.

On the one hand, I hoped that Judas would explode like before.

I wanted to see with my own eyes how helplessly I was defeated by two of my escort knights.

‘No matter how good they are, I can’t stand against these two.’

Even aristocrats have classes.

Sarah wanted Judas to know the truth.

The world of nobles is not easy.

‘Is it any big deal to have a fierce temper? I really can’t survive on this floor with that personality.’

Sarah lifted her chin with her arms crossed.

She looks down at Judas, helplessly silent, with a haughty attitude.

On the other hand, Judas did not feel particularly helpless.

She just finished rationalizing her in her head.

‘There are two priorities that escort knights must follow. Comfort of the owner. And, the master’s honor.’

They just dishonored Elijah.

Thus, from now on, the violence you will do is self-defense.

Judas raised her head.

A quiet rage hovers over her calm face.

Fishik. Sarah laughed.

What would you do?

And the next moment.

Sarah watched as her own huge escort knight flew through the air.

It was an incomprehensible landscape.

On the other hand, Judas, the creator of the scenery, was quite relaxed.

His growth curve for 5 years did not draw an ordinary trajectory.

A knight whose name I don’t know is good enough.

‘One arm lift.’

The opponent is slammed to the floor.

However, it was a little different from the opponents I’ve fought before.

Thump!

The dull crashing sound didn’t come from the back.

He hit the floor with his palm.

‘Failure?’

He is a talented person with a lot of experience.

It wasn’t a standard way to fall, but he seemed to know the technique of mitigating the shock when he fell.

However, it cannot be without shock.

Because of the pain, the opponent couldn’t get up right away.

In that case, all you have to do is use the following technique.

Judas naturally twisted the wrist he was holding.

His whole arm turns slowly along with his wrist.

It’s getting more and more unnatural angles.

“Wow!”

The opponent let out a thick scream.

“Let go of that hand right now!”

Sarah cried, her face turning blue.

It was difficult to understand how this could happen, but the reality in front of me was clear.

His self escort knight was getting helpless.

“Didn’t the young lady say that! It’s an order! Come on, take that hand… !”

The remaining escort knights tried to draw their swords.

The moment I put my hand on his handle.

“Don’t pull it out.”

Judas, who had approached before he knew it, gave a low warning pressing down on the handle.

The knight who had broken his wrist was trembling on the floor holding onto his arm.

“If you pull it out, you can’t turn it back.”

My body stiffened with my hand on the sword.

It is as he said.

If you take out a weapon, it cannot be mitigated by a simple conflict.

The article was taken aback.

The accident stopped.

There was no need to worry about what to do.

Judas relieved it.

He grabbed the knight by the back of the back, hooked his legs outside him, and let him fall.

Simple paddling sweeper.

Thump! And fall violently.

“It’s so… !”

Judah passed him indifferently.

He easily subdued two knights without using magic.

It was a surprise attack, and it was also bare-handed, but anyway, only the result remains.

That he beat both.

Sarah trembled and stepped back from him.

Chin, and. My back was blocked by the wall.

“Hey!”

Before I knew it, Judas was right in front of him.

The huge body cast a shadow from head to toe.

“Me, me, me, me….”

Does she dare to lay her hands on herself, a nobleman?

She wanted to ask, but her mouth did not come out.

His eyebrows were twisted as if he were annoyed.

The golden eyes that looked down flashed coldly.

It’s like a beast worrying about its prey.

“… Judah?”

At that time, Elijah’s voice was heard.

Judah quickly turned around.

She opened the door to her dressing room and saw herself.

Elijah’s eyes turn to Sarah and Judas, slowly turning into mad fire.

‘He, why is he like that… !’

Judas panicked, forgetting that she had been annoyed just before.

“… What are you doing with him?”

Judah hurriedly withdrew from Sarah.

She didn’t know why, but she felt that being close to Sarah would cause trouble.

She approached Elijah and hurriedly explained.

A chill ran down her spine as she remembered the tragedy she had seen for the second time.

“While I was guarding the door, they approached first. At first, the lady said she had something to do.”

I couldn’t let him in, so Judas refused.

“Then he insulted the lady, and she couldn’t stay still.”

“Then you just need to fix the two escort knights, why were you close to him?”

“Even though he is a noble, the level of arguing is so low that he might scold that person….”

“Isn’t there another reason?”

Judas was sincerely puzzled and asked back.

“If for any other reason, what reason do you mean?”

At that, Elijah shut her mouth tightly.

She slightly narrows her eyes and rolls them around.

“… I know.”

What other reasons could there be?

If there is anything, she will ask why.

For a moment Elijah had a hard time understanding her own reaction to this situation.

“Anyway, to sum it up, does that mean he started a fight first?”

“Yes.”

Elijah nodded her head and she smiled.

“Good job.”

Before she knew it, her eyes returned to normal.

“It seems certain that he is an excellent escort knight. I knew.”

Judas let out a sigh of relief inside her and bowed her head lightly.

“… Thank you.”

Elijah passed Judas.

The moment I stood in front of Sara, a woman walked from one direction of the hallway.

Blonde braided hair. She was Belle now.

She goes through Elijah, Judas, and Sarah in turn and asks.

“I came to find Sarah because I couldn’t find her…. What is this situation?”

Elijah grinned.

“Okay. It’s a matter to be resolved between her parties….”

“Sister-!”

Sarah jumped to her feet and ran to Jezebel.

She whines and tells everything she has been through.

Now Belle’s face turns grim, and she glares at Elijah.

“Elijah. You can’t properly manage a single escort knight?”

Elijah tilted her head slightly diagonally.

Her slow movements didn’t match the situation.

“Or are you really trying to get into an armed fight with us? Are you confident enough to handle it?”

“But, I didn’t argue with you first.”

“Are you and us the same?”

“Hmm, yes. It is.”

Elijah smiled.

Is she confident enough to handle it?

She chews on the words a little as if pondering, then turns to Jezebel and asks.

“Sister like that, is she confident enough to handle it?”

“What….”

“The carefully selected and sent dark haengdan was shattered by one of my knights.”

“… !”

“Besides, the late starters were annihilated by another candidate, maybe? Are you confident with just that much power?”

“You… ! Uh, how about that… Crab….”

“To be surprised at such an obvious reasoning, it’s bland….”

Judas, who became a bland person at the same time, was surprised.

‘The people who attacked me at that time were Jezebel’s secret agents… ? So what about the opponent Richard fought? How did Elijah know that?’

Even Sarah, who did not know that fact, was equally astonished.

Unlike the panicked and surprised three, Elijah was relaxed.

She says with a cold smile.

“Take care. I’m not going to publicize it.”

Jezebel’s eyes trembled slightly.

Elijah said she didn’t care about herself.

Her refusal to hold her accountable was the same as saying that she would always respond in a similar way.

She clenched her fists and couldn’t resist.

“… Sarah. Let’s go.”

“Uh, sister?”

“Let’s just go for now.”

The two sisters stomped away.

It was like running away.

On the way, Sara’s escort driver was run over, but neither cared.

As if to vent their anger, they step on it harder and pass by.

Sara said as a warning before turning her corner.

“Wait and see! Oh, I’m going to tell my brother-!”

Judas and Elijah lightly ignored him.

“My lady… ? Jezebel’s dark gang, what do you mean by that?”

“Oh, that.”

Elijah replied as if she didn’t care.

“I think so.”

“… Yes?”

“It’s long to explain….”

She looked up at Judas, lengthening her words.

The face that still hasn’t come out of embarrassment.

A smirk came out at the bewildered expression.

If it’s Judas, you can tell me.

“Listen to your ears.”

Beckoned to Judas.

He bent down and lowered his head.

Elijah lifted her heel slightly to put his lips to her ear.

She put her weight on his shoulder as she leaned forward.

Judas naturally wrapped around her waist to support her Elijah, but she stopped abruptly.

‘I almost had an accident….’

A soft and friendly voice whispers in my ear.

“This reasoning is only for you. I leaked some information to Jezebel and other members of Bevel. Among them is information about the honorable sun statue you paid for the other day. Of course, I didn’t think Jezebel would really bite.”

“That….”

“Forget about the fact that I unintentionally used you.”

Elijah gave a light laugh.

Yuda’s ears warmly tickled because of her snoring.

“Anyway, Jezebel is the most active of my siblings. Even if she’s risky, she’s willing to take it. She’s also reckless at times. To put it all together, here it is. At that time, the forces with information that could collide with you outside the ruins are the most powerful on my brother’s side. And among them, there is a high probability that it will be Jezebel again.”

Elijah trusts her odds and gambles on Jezebel.

With a know-it-all attitude.

“Even if it wasn’t, it doesn’t matter. After the trial involving the Duchess, there’s no way my brothers didn’t do anything to me. So, if it wasn’t, he would have reacted to infer some information.”

Gamble with high odds.

However, even if she fails, Elijah will not lose.

You have mastered reading other people’s emotions and reactions.

When she sees how her opponent reacts to the bait she throws, she can gain new information.

So, Elijah was a gambler who had no reason not to throw.

“Did you understand?”

Elijah asked, lifting her head slightly.

Judas nodded blankly.

She just admired it.

‘Cheongjaenga… ?’

She knew from the beginning that Elijah was smart.

She was also an outstanding genius in the original novel.

However, experiencing and realizing it right next to it was a completely different feeling.

She has a design and reasoning that she couldn’t even dare to do on her own. And psychological warfare.

Suddenly, he realized several times these days that the master he served was great in many ways.

“Ah. And.”

Elijah took a step back.

“I have something for you.”

“For me?”

“Yes. Then who else can I give something to, other than you?”

“… ….”

“Follow me.”

The place she was taken was the reliquary of the Temple of the Sun.

Various holy relics were precious and solemnly kept throughout.

It was a place that even Judas knew.

Several relics caught his eye.

All of them were valuable and special items.

Elijah spoke to Judas.

Not a big deal.

“Choose.”

“… Yes?”

“Take your pick.”
