Ending Maker Episode 444
SS #36 Regina Bayer (5)
Bayer, Chase, Hresvelg.
The Hresvelg Counts, who occupy one of the three families known as the Northern Three Powers, had three unique characteristics.
First, force.
Although relations with the Northern Wild Lands have improved and trade is taking place, the crows that used to guard the North have not suddenly disappeared.
The Counts of Hresvelg were still the margraves, and under their command stood the Thunderdoom Fortress and tens of thousands of soldiers.
Furthermore, Count Hresvelg, who leads them – Lucas Hresvelg, was the strongest swordsman in the Kingdom of Seilun and the leader of the Ten Swordsmen, the Heavenly Swordsman. In terms of sheer strength, the Hresvelg Counts could be said to be the strongest among the Three Northern Powers.
Second, the leader.
The leader of the twelve northern houses, then and now, was the Count Hresvelg.
While the Counts of Chase and Bayer have achieved tremendous growth over the past decade, the Counts of Hresvelg have also made great strides, thanks to peace with the wild lands and the new trade routes opened up with the Empire.
Moreover, since he maintained very good relations with both the Counts of Chase and Bayer, his position as the leader of the twelve northern families was very solid.
Third, fertility.
The Counts of Hresvelg have been known for generations for their precious hands, but not this time.
It was as if the blocked blood flow had been cleared, and the children in the family were born without a hitch.
It was to the extent that Count Lucas Hresvelg was given the nickname ‘King of Virility in the North’.
“And the children are called the ‘Hresvelg Legion.’”
The Hresvelg Legion.
Regina let out a clumsy laugh at the nickname that came out of Ember’s mouth.
To be honest, I thought it was a nickname that suited me well.
‘Because there really are a lot.’
Most of the 12 northern families had precious hands, perhaps because they had angelic blood flowing through them.
Usually one or two.
In a time when it was common to have three children, Count Hresvelg-
Regina let out another awkward laugh and tried to say something, but then closed her mouth.
This is because Yuria, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up from her seat.
“Coming.”
“Huh? Could it be Count Hresvelg?”
“Yeah, they’re coming.”
As Yuria answered with a calm and elegant expression reminiscent of Maia, Ember and Aiden looked at each other.
That would be the case, since the group was not on a hill or something to observe Count Hresvelg’s arrival, but rather sitting in a room on one side of the mansion playing a board game.
“Yuria, how do you know? Did you use some kind of magic?”
“No, just by feeling.”
“uh?”
What is this?
Oh, my.
But Regina somehow felt that Yuria’s words had some credibility.
Didn’t oppa Yuder do that often too?
Sister Cordelia’s sense of smell is at the animal level.
‘Of course, every time, Cordelia said something about how the real beast was her brother Yuder.’
Even thinking about it now, it was a bit of a strange story.
Why is Yuder Oppa called a beast?
My brother is a very cool and urbane guy.
In any case, it was none other than Cordelia’s older sister, Yuria.
When Yuria said the word ‘feeling’, it somehow felt like it would really happen.
“Oh, then should I get ready to go pick you up?”
“No, wait. You’re just saying you’re going to pick me up?”
When Aiden asked, Ember nodded in agreement.
But instead of explaining her logic, Yuria looked at Regina and said.
“Aunt Regina, I’m going to pick you up. Do you want to come with me?”
“uh?”
Regina, who was trying to get up from her seat reflexively, could only blink awkwardly.
That’s because Ember and Aiden had a look in their eyes that said, ‘Us or him? Huh? Us or him.’
‘Oh, what should I do?’
Emotionally, I felt like Yuria was right, but I also felt like if I took her side, Amber and Aiden would get upset again.
‘Aiden gets upset easily so it’s okay, but Ember really stays upset for a long time. It’s hard to appease her.’
But what about Yuria?
If we side with Ember and Aiden here, won’t Yuria get upset?
But that was just then.
A voice of salvation that would instantly solve Regina’s worries was heard from outside the door.
“My lady, Count Hresvelg is almost here.”
Regina cheered inwardly at the appearance of her exclusive maid Luna, while Ember and Aiden looked back at Yuria in surprise.
Yuria still had a gentle smile on her face – but a face that Scarlett would have strongly claimed was dark inside if she had seen it.
“Anyway, let’s go quickly. We have to say hello.”
“Yeah.”
At Regina’s urging, Ember and Aiden stood up with slightly awkward expressions, while Yuria walked forward gently.
And a moment later, Regina, standing at the entrance of the mansion, smiled awkwardly at the sight of the ‘Hresvelg Corps’ getting off the large carriage one after another.
* * *
Vivian Hresvelg.
12 years old.
The eldest daughter of the Count Hresvelg family.
Next to the red-haired girl who looked just like her mother, Scarlett Hresvelg, a smaller girl with black hair, in stark contrast to Vivian, stood holding her sister’s hand.
Angela Hresvelg.
4 years old.
The youngest child of the Count Hresvelg family.
Vivian, who looked back at her younger siblings, sharpened her eyes and spoke to her swarming siblings in a sharp and clear voice.
“Everyone, be quiet. Walter, take special care of the twins.”
“Yeah, sis.”
The one who immediately answered Vivian’s sharp words was Walter Hresvelg, the eldest son and second son of the Hresvelg Counts.
He was only a few months older than Vivian, so he was twelve years old, but he looked nothing like that.
This was because he was two heads taller than Vivian, who was considered mature for her age, and his shoulders were also broad.
The boy, with his gorgeous blond hair and the light brown skin typical of Southern families, took after his father and had a very honest personality.
Instead of saying anything to her older sister’s words, she replied that she understood and then looked at her younger siblings with stern eyes.
“number.”
“1.”
“2.”
“3.”
The children of Count Hresvelg line up, answering one by one.
To elaborate, it was as follows.
Vivian Hresvelg.
12 years old.
Born to Scarlett, the eldest daughter of the Countess of Hresvelg.
Walter Hresvelg.
12 years old.
Born to Kaisa, the eldest son of the Count of Hresvelg.
William Hresvelg.
11 years old.
The second son of Count Hresvelg, born to Caesar.
Stephen Hresvelg and Randolph Hresvelg.
10 years old.
The third and fourth sons of the Count Hresvelg family, born to Caesar.
Twins.
Marcus Hresvelg
8 years old.
The fifth son of the Count Hresvelg family, born to Caesar.
Victor Hresvelg
7 years old.
The sixth son of Count Hresvelg, born to Scarlett.
Jayce Hresvelg
6 years old.
Born to Kaisa, the seventh son of the Count Hresvelg family.
Angela Hresvelg
4 years old.
The second daughter and youngest child of the Count Hresvelg family, born to Kaisa.
7 sons and 2 daughters.
It was quite a sight to see as many as nine children lined up in a row.
Moreover, the way they followed Vivian, the eldest daughter, around like ducklings following their mother was very cute.
‘Of course Walter and William and the twins aren’t cute.’
I feel sorry for you four, but you are all so grown up.
He was so tall and big that he was similar to or even bigger than fifteen-year-old Aiden.
Of course, it was much bigger than Vivian.
But Vivian was the commander of the Hresvelg Legion, and she was none other than Scarlett’s daughter.
Even just looking from the side, you could tell how well everyone was listening to Vivian.
“Greetings to His Excellency the Count of Chase.”
“Greetings.”
When Vivian led the way, Walter and the other children followed suit and saluted, and Count Chase received the children’s greetings with a stern face that was filled with a mixture of joy and envy.
That was understandable, because the scene that Count Chase had dreamed of in the past was right before his eyes.
So, Count Chase used message magic, despite some rudeness and shame.
[Hey, do you have any secrets?]
In response to Count Chase’s question that came to his mind, the Sword Saint of Heaven – Lucas Hresvel answered with an awkward smile.
[Well, I think it’ll work out if you just work hard… …]
Just work hard.
Do your best.
Count Chase felt a little disappointed by Lucas’ textbook answer, but soon nodded.
It doesn’t seem like Lucas would hide any secrets from his personality, it just seemed like the result of really hard work.
“Come in. I’ll get you some tea.”
“thank you.”
He was the Sky Swordsman, renowned as the strongest swordsman in the Kingdom of Seilun, but he was only thirty years old.
Moreover, he looked so young that he could only be in his early twenties, and the same was true for his wives.
‘Sword Lord Scarlet’, a member of the Ten Swordsmen and the only female swordsman in the Kingdom of Cailun, and Kai’sa, the sea god who ruled the southern seas in the past.
Although the two had already had several children, their appearances told otherwise.
Especially in Scarlett’s case, Vivian was more mature than her peers, so when the two stood next to each other, they looked like sisters rather than mother and daughter.
As Lucas took a step back from Count Chase and followed behind, Scarlett quickly turned to the children – Vivian, to be exact – and sent a signal.
[Please take good care of the kids.]
‘Yes, Mom.’
When Vivian answered silently, Scarlett confirmed her answer with lip-reading and smiled before following Lucas.
“I will guide the children this way.”
“Thank you for the guidance.”
Vivian smiled and spoke to the maid who was in charge of guiding her, then looked back at Walter, who nodded with a military-like expression before looking back at his brothers.
And then, slap slap slap.
Regina, who watched the children of Count Hresvelg moving like an army following the maid, smiled awkwardly as usual.
“Anyway… …Should we go too?”
Because I had to greet and play with the children of Count Hresvelg.
Regina nodded quickly at Ember’s words and hurried her steps.
* * *
“how have you been doing?”
“I’ve been doing well, except for the fact that taking care of my younger siblings has been extremely difficult.”
Children’s room.
Count Chase knew what the children of Count Hresvelg wanted, and so he dispatched a special helper to the children’s rooms.
Maia and Dahlia.
At the appearance of the two angels, the children’s eyes sparkled and they displayed a much higher level of concentration and composure than usual. Thanks to this, Vivian was able to take a step back and chat with Regina and the others.
‘Vivian is more like a mother than a sister.’
Should I say that she feels more like a little mother to the children of Count Hresvelg than Regina’s own mother?
Moreover, Vivian’s appearance, rubbing her neck and saying that raising children is hard, was the very image of a young mother exhausted from raising children.
“You seem to listen well, but are you worried about something?”
When Yuria asked with eyes full of curiosity more than usual, perhaps because she was an only child without a sibling, Vivian smiled bitterly and answered.
“Most of the time, I listen well, but the twins sometimes. Still, I’m really glad Walter helps me out. Without Walter, it would have been twice as hard… no, three times as hard. Boys really are… .”
The way she shook her head as she spoke was definitely not that of a 12-year-old girl.
Walter also felt like a husband who helped raise the children well, rather than just a younger brother.
Of course, the ones who actually raised the child were Lucas, Scarlett, Kaisa, and the maids of Count Hresvelg, but that didn’t mean that Vivian, the eldest daughter, didn’t have a hard time, so it might have been natural for her to react this way.
“By the way, Maia is really pretty. My mom is also a beauty that never goes out of style, but honestly, I think she’s a bit behind Maia.”
“Huh.”
At Vivian’s words, Yuria smiled slightly and shrugged her shoulders as if she had been praised.
‘Yuri is also part of our blood.’
To be exact, the Chase Counts.
The appearance just now was exactly the same as that shown by Aiden and Cordelia.
“But… … Now that I look at it, everyone is holding a book?”
“Huh? Hey, hey. The new book of Built Vine Heroes came out a few days ago.”
When Vivian said it as if it was nothing, Yuria and Regina nodded in unison.
This is because he knew very well that all of the children of Count Hresvelg were fans of the Heroes of Bildwein story.
‘Come to think of it, I heard there’s also a Builtwein Land in the County of Hresvelg. I’d like to go there sometime.’
It’s an amusement park overflowing with dreams and hopes.
“Haven’t you read the Heroes of Builtwein?”
“Huh? Huh? I read it, but I don’t look it up right away.”
“Really? That’s amazing.”
When Vivian spoke with wide eyes as if she was surprised, Regina felt her common sense crumble for some reason and turned to Yuria.
This is because I was curious to know if Yuria had also read the story of the heroes of Builtwein.
“I read too. My teacher likes it.”
“Your Majesty the Sword?”
“Yeah, I really like it so much that I’ve seen you write fan fiction… … · Should I say that? I’ve seen you write stuff like that.”
Regina opened her mouth in admiration without realizing it at Yuria’s words.
That’s understandable, since none other than the Sword Master himself wrote the fan fiction.
Could it be that the Book of Heroes of Builtwein is actually a much greater book than Regina herself realized?
“I’m curious. It’s a fan fiction written by the Sword Master. I’d like to read it someday.”
Regina nodded vigorously at Vivian’s words, this time seeming to really agree.
This is because there was a huge image gap between the Swordsman, who was famous for his cold and lonely aura among the Paragon’s great heroes, and the big fan who wrote fan fiction of hero novels.
And how much of the conversation went on like that?
Regina clapped her hands slightly as if a sudden thought occurred to her.
“By the way, Vivian. Vivian, are you going to the ball too?”
“National Foundation Day Ball?”
“Yeah, the National Foundation Day Ball.”
“Of course I will go, right? After all, I am the eldest daughter of the Count Hresvelg family.”
“So, have you decided on a partner?”
When Regina asked a rare girlish question, Vivian smiled as if it was amused, but then shook her head.
“We don’t really have partners. And we’re only twelve or so, after all. We’re not old enough to go to prom with partners yet. And we’re not engaged either.”
“Is that so?”
“Usually. Why, Regina, is there a guy you want to go with?”
“Me? Oh, no. I don’t have any.”
Regina blinked in confusion, and Vivian laughed cutely.
“Tch, then what about Vivian? Vivian isn’t there?”
“Neither do I. Unfortunately, I’m busy taking care of my younger siblings. And there aren’t any particularly nice guys around me.”
It seemed quite awkward for a twelve-year-old to say this, but Regina, who was listening to the story, was thirteen, and Yuria was eleven.
So Regina nodded with a somewhat serious expression and asked in a subtle tone.
“Well then, what about Aiden?”
“Aiden? Your nephew?”
“Yes, my nephew. He’s my nephew, but he’s handsome, has a good personality, and is kind… … .”
“Yeah, I know what you mean, but I still don’t like it.”
“why?”
“He’s a siscon.”
“uh?”
What time?
Regina asked, blinking. Vivian shook her head and continued.
“Sisscon is Walter… … and the rest of the brothers are enough. I’ll meet a man without a female sibling.”
“Yeah.”
I’m not sure, but if that’s you, then it must be so.
Regina nodded hesitantly and looked back at Yuria instead of Vivian.
“Yuria doesn’t have a partner?”
“None. But… … maybe there will be.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
When Regina asked with wide eyes, Vivian also leaned slightly towards Yuria as if she was interested.
Then Yuria spoke with her characteristically mysterious expression.
“There’s nothing set in stone. It’s just a feeling.”
“also?”
“Yeah, again. And Regina will probably have a partner too.”
“Huh? Me?”
“Yeah, Regina’s.”
When Yuria answered nicely, Regina clutched her pounding heart with a face filled with confusion and anticipation, and Vivian crossed her arms and seemed to be lost in thought, finding it quite interesting.
This is because I remembered my mother’s words, ‘Cordelia’s intuition is like that of a beast, so it cannot be ignored.’
‘If Yuria’s partner shows up at the ball… … it’ll be a real continental issue, right?’
Because it was none other than Yuria.
The most precious child in the world, born between the incarnation of a goddess and the Pope.
The only daughter of a crazy family that not only the Royal Family of Cailun but even the Royal Family of Argon could not carelessly request a marriage.
A prom partner for that child appears?
‘It would be fun if it really appeared.’
Walter, what about you?
Walter is also cool, handsome, kind, and the best.
He’s tall and his age matches Yuri’s.
Yeah, he’s my brother, but he’s really cool Walter.
Although he told Aiden about being a siscon, Vivian herself was actually a severe brocon.
‘I’m also curious about Regina’s partner.’
It’s because Yuria is such a big shot, but in fact Regina is also a big shot.
Yuria and Regina’s partner.
Who would it be if it really appeared?
Who would be a good match for two people?
‘Well, I’ll probably just go with Walter.’
In fact, I doubt if there’s anyone cooler than Walter.
Vivian, once again showing off her brother-con side, pinched Regina’s cheek, whose heart was still pounding, and turned to look at her siblings.
And two days later in the afternoon.
New faces have arrived in Wangdo, five days before the National Foundation Day.
