Chapter 724
“clothes?”
Raon’s eyes widened when he saw the clothes in the luxurious box.
It was a robe with a harmonious combination of black and gold, and it had an old-fashioned elegance in its splendor.
‘Then what about your mother… .’
I turned my gaze to the right. Sylvia’s box contained a dress with flowing gold threads on a white background.
“ah… .”
She too was looking at the dress with blank eyes, as if she was embarrassed.
-Hey!
Lars waved his round fist as if he didn’t like it.
-You can’t eat it all! Well, I guess that old man who doesn’t know how to taste should send me Nadin bread!
The guy said that it was better and snorted.
“hmm… .”
I ignored Lars’s chatter and looked at the robes and dresses again.
‘Why did you give me clothes?’
I expected that Glenn would give me compensation for the life and death consequences of the war, but I didn’t know that I would receive ordinary clothes, not even artifacts. She was a little embarrassed.
“Roen.”
Raon lowered the box containing the robes and called out to Roen.
“Did the matriarch really send you these clothes?”
“That’s right. “He wanted me to wear that robe and dress and participate in the banquet being held today.”
Roen lowered his head, asking where he could tell a lie.
“ah… .”
Sylvia let out a soft moan when she saw the hem of her dress.
Sieghardt’s emblem, a flaming sword, was drawn on the bottom, and it had a more brilliant light than the emblem engraved on the gold plate.
‘Same goes for mine.’
The same pattern was engraved on the chest of his robes, and it was so vivid that it seemed as if the sword was burning in flames.
‘To even have a pattern like this… .’
Raon touched Sieghart’s pattern and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Does this mean that you will raise your mother to the direct lineage today?’
No, that’s right. That’s all there is.
Suddenly, it seemed like the only reason to present fancy robes and dresses and participate in the banquet was to get a direct promotion.
In particular, the Sieghardt symbol engraved on the robes and dresses added confidence to that idea.
“La, Raon. This… .”
Sylvia’s lips quivered as she held the dress dearly. It seemed like she too realized what the dress Glenn had given her meant.
“I think that’s right.”
Raon made eye contact with Sylvia and nodded.
“It was discontinued at some point, but originally in Sieghart there was a custom of fathers making their children’s first clothes. “The two women’s robes and dresses were made from a thread called Yeongrujam.”
Roen said with a small smile that Glenn had caught Yeongrujam himself. His words seemed to mean that Glenn recognized me and Sylvia as her direct descendants.
“ah… .”
Sylvia lowered her head when she heard that it had been cut off at some point. Unsurprisingly, she didn’t seem to receive her first suit.
“Then I’ll see you at the banquet.”
Roen bowed his head politely and headed to the family hall.
“All right.”
Raon greeted Roen face to face and then looked at Sylvia.
“It looks like there is a lot to prepare. “Go back.”
“huh.”
Sylvia had tears in her eyes and her lips were trembling. These days, she has been given the nickname ‘the devil’s sword within the enemy’, but I don’t know where it is that it’s her devil’s sword.
“Let’s take Helen and the other maids with us.”
“okay… .”
Raon headed to the annex, holding Sylvia’s trembling hand tightly.
* * *
“Did you give it to me?”
Glenn tilted his chin toward Roen, who entered the throne room.
“yes.”
Roen smiled slightly and nodded.
“Didn’t Raon and Sylvia think it was strange?”
“You two are quick-witted, so you must have figured out what the matriarch meant.”
He said that he realized the meaning of giving clothes to both Raon and Sylvia and approached the podium.
“Eh? “It can’t be like that?”
Rimmer blinked at Roen.
“I don’t know about Sylvia, but Raon is a guy who gets his money’s worth! “You’re the seed itself!”
He shook his head, saying he had never seen anyone as tactless as Raon.
“That’s not true.”
Cheryl clenched her chin in agreement.
“I’ve been frustrated more than once because of that guy.”
She also sighed, saying that Raon was completely oblivious.
“But in battle, you are quicker than anyone else.”
Roen said it was really unexpected and laughed.
“that’s right. Raon is quicker than me when it comes to battle. but… .”
Rimmer laughed and waved his hand.
“Strangely enough, I can’t handle the sense of distance in human relationships.”
He looked up at the podium and clicked his tongue.
“Maybe it’s because someone has confined me to the annex since I was young… .”
“hmm… .”
“hmm… .”
Cheryl and Roen also followed Rimmer’s gaze and glanced at Glenn.
“A risk!”
Glenn cleared his throat and quickly gestured to Roen.
“Did you like clothes?”
“yes. “They both liked it.”
Roen nodded, saying he was happy to accept it.
“Of course you should like it! “Who made this!”
Siran, the senator of Sieghart and the leader of the Five Flowers, snorted.
“I’m telling you now, the head of the family is doing too much. “Whenever I ask you to fill the position of the senator, it’s absurd that you go back to Ohwadan and make the best clothes in three days.”
Siran let out a noble voice and covered his mouth with a fan engraved with a black butterfly.
“I also have a schedule, but it was so reckless.”
“Keuhum, I’m sorry. However, the skill of the Senator is much worse than that of the current Five Hwadan.”
Glenn raised his hand and said he was sorry for making the sudden request.
“I wanted to give my two children the best clothes.”
“Well, all parents feel the same.”
Siran smiled slightly, as if he felt a little relieved.
“However, the reason I made Raon and Sylvia’s formal clothes was not just because of the head of the family. “I knitted the two children together in the hope that they would do better.”
She laughed and said that even though she worked without sleeping or eating, it wasn’t that bad.
“Then let’s go and rest… .”
“Absolutely not!”
Siran shook his head resolutely.
“Raon and Sylvia, the most famous faces in Sieghardt, wore my masterpiece. Where can I go without seeing it!”
She clenched her fists, saying that even if she collapsed, she would collapse in the banquet hall.
“Hmm! Well, that’s right. “Those kids were pretty and handsome.”
Glenn nodded fiercely, as if he was happy to hear Raon and Sylvia complimenting his appearance.
Rimmer, Cheryl, and Roen quietly laughed as they looked at Glenn, who showed a sincere smile.
* * *
“hmm?”
Raon tried moving his limbs while wearing the robes Roen had given him.
“For a formal dress, it’s easy to move around in.’
Originally, formal robes focused on splendor like peac*ck feathers and were therefore uncomfortable to wear, but this clothing allowed one to move comfortably like a training uniform.
It was an amazing outfit that was flashy but comfortable.
-What do you do when you’re excited? It doesn’t taste good!
Lars shook his head, muttering that he didn’t need clothes.
‘I need these clothes to go to the banquet and eat delicious food?’
-Oh oh! Then it’s a must!
As if I were Dorian, I kept muttering that this guy was a necessity.
‘I heard it’s simple.’
Raon chuckled and left the room.
“Wow… .”
“Yes, master. “Can you ascend to heaven?”
“Clothes don’t kill the face, and the face doesn’t kill the clothes. It suits you so well!”
“Good luck Raon… .”
The maids in civilian clothes smiled brightly, saying they were dazzling. Because of Encia, they also had the word ‘good’ stuck in their mouths.
“Hey, master… .”
Helen stood blankly and approached cautiously.
“Can we really go too?”
She lowered her head as if she was worried about participating in the banquet.
“are you okay. “Because we are family.”
Raon met Helen’s trembling gaze and smiled.
The maids were family members who had worked hard together until now, so I wanted to be with them when Sylvia ascended to the rank.
“young master… .”
Helen and the maids pursed their lips with red eyes.
“don’t cry. “All my makeup is gone.”
Sylvia shook her head as she came down the stairs.
She was wearing a dress given to her by Roen, and strangely enough, more attention was paid to Sylvia’s face than to the gorgeous dress.
“lady!”
“You are so beautiful!”
“The dress doesn’t match my face!”
“Honey! “Honey!”
The maids came to Silvia’s side and chirped like larks.
“thank you. “You guys are pretty too.”
Sylvia smiled as she hugged each of the maids.
“If you’re ready, let’s leave.”
“yes.”
Raon opened the door first and went out.
After putting the maids and Sylvia in the carriage prepared in advance, we headed to the main building.
What was so funny was that the laughter inside the carriage never stopped.
As I listened to the chatter between Sylvia and the maids, the carriage had already arrived in front of the main building. People participating in the banquet were seen entering Gajujeon one by one.
“Let’s go in too.”
“yes. lady.”
Sylvia led the maids into the Gajujeon. As she was about to go to her banquet hall, a man standing in the hallway to her right blocked her path.
“hmm… .”
It was Sterick, a direct executive who followed Karun. He hesitated for a moment, as if surprised by Sylvia’s appearance, and then shook her head.
“Are those behind them maids?”
“that’s right.”
Sylvia nodded, coming forward as if to guard Helen and the maids.
“But why are you wearing a banquet dress and not a maid’s uniform?”
Sterick frowned as if he couldn’t understand.
“I asked you to come with me.”
Sylvia took a step forward and confidently raised her gaze.
“This is ridiculous. “Even if there are no restrictions on participation, what kind of mentality is it that you call the maids?”
Sterick looked at Sylvia and the maids one by one with pitiful eyes.
“under.”
When Raon furrowed his brows and was about to leave, Sylvia stretched out her hand and moved closer, as if to grab Sterick by the collar.
“Shut your mouth. “If you don’t want your head blown off.”
She could no longer tolerate insults. She pushed forward with her red-hot eyes and displayed a powerful force that crushed the opponent. Red-eyed demon sword. Her determination to protect her annex was on full display.
“Ugh! W, how dare you tell me where this is!”
Sterick stepped back, his lips quivering. It was when he was about to call the prosecutors as if he would never let them in.
“Let them in.”
Karun approached from behind, pushed Sterick away, and opened the door to the banquet hall.
“Ka, Karun?”
“Non-banquet owners were told to participate in the banquet, but they did not put their qualifications on the line. “It means anyone can come in, so it’s not for you to argue.”
Karun looked down at Sterick with a cold gaze.
“S-sorry.”
Sterick pressed his back against the wall and trembled, as if he couldn’t refuse Karun’s words.
“Thank you.”
“… … .”
Karun made no reply. He looked at Sylvia and Raon once and then entered the banquet hall.
“Raon. “See you inside.”
Buren, who was standing behind him, waved his hand and headed toward the banquet hall.
‘Why is that person like that?’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Karun’s back moving away.
I was embarrassed because the person who would normally bring a rock to block the road actually helped me.
‘Is there another plan?’
But there was no particular whiff of conspiracy to Karun. I just felt the strength of a bamboo tree.
“You heard it too. There’s no need to sag. Walk confidently!”
Sylvia patted the maids’ backs and entered the banquet hall first.
“yes!”
The maids also felt Sylvia’s feelings and followed her with unstoppable steps.
Raon entered the banquet hall for the last time with a faint smile.
“Wow… .”
“Um, is that Sylvia?”
“It turns out that the description of her as Sieghardt’s most beautiful woman in the past was not just a rumor.”
“Whose work is that dress? It brings out your beauty perfectly… .”
People enjoying the banquet could not close their mouths when they saw Sylvia’s appearance.
“Raon is not inferior to Sylvia.”
“It’s not that we’re not behind, but we’re better than Sylvia!”
“I heard they coined the word ‘Jonjal’, but it didn’t come about for nothing.”
“Because I was famous for my face since I was young.”
The Sieghardt prosecutors couldn’t take their eyes off Raon, who was walking behind Silvia as if he was guarding them, and they just passed out empty air.
Raon calmly accepted people’s attention and looked around the banquet hall.
Since it was after the funeral, the banquet hall was not fancy, but it was filled with warm colors, which made me feel at ease.
-Oooh!
Lars let out an exclamation that seemed like he couldn’t breathe.
-Of all the banquets I have ever seen, there was the most food!
Just as he said, on the outskirts of the banquet hall, an innumerable number of dishes were spread out like a buffet.
My mouth naturally watered at the color and scent coming from the food.
“Raon. “It’s delicious.”
Runaan waved her hands with her arms full of beaded ice cream.
Looking at the bulge in the belly of the dress, it seemed like she had already had enough.
“Tsk. Why am I here… .”
Martha was leaning against the wall as if she didn’t like it. She lowered her head and furrowed her brows, as if embarrassed by her white dress.
“… … .”
Buren followed Karun in silence, and it seemed like the two had become closer, albeit only slightly.
“My lord! “Try some of this!”
Dorian was smiling brightly, his cheeks full, as if he had already tried everything from the buffet. She seemed happier than ever.
-Let’s go too!
Lars drooled and waved his hand at the food.
‘What’s good?’
-The king wants to start with the six dishes at the end!
The guy ate his appetite for a long time, saying that at a buffet, you have to eat the cold food first.
‘I heard there’s a lot of strange knowledge.’
It was when Raon smiled faintly and was about to go to where the raw fish was.
“Head of the Northern Sky, Glenn Sieghart, enters!”
The banquet hall doors opened at the same time and Glenn appeared.
“Meet the matriarch!”
Raon knelt down with the others.
“Everyone stand up.”
Glenn climbed up to the banquet hall’s podium and calmly lowered his gaze.
“Are you enjoying the banquet?”
“yes!”
Everyone in the banquet hall bowed their heads, giving a predetermined answer.
-You’re not enjoying it because of inspiration!
Lars was the only one to protest and stretched out his round fist.
“Thank goodness.”
Glenn smiled slightly and nodded.
“This banquet was held to give relief for the hard work of the war, but there is one more important reason.”
He raised his finger and pointed at Raon and Sylvia.
“Sylvia Sieghardt and Raon Sieghardt, please come forward.”
Glenn didn’t seem to want to take too long and immediately called Raon and Sylvia.
“yes.”
Raon made eye contact with Sylvia and then stood in front of the podium.
“I previously made a promise to the Great Lord of Gwangpung.”
Glenn turned his back and looked out the darkened window.
“I said that if I survived the life-or-death battle with my father, Roman, I would raise Sylvia to my direct lineage.”
He turned his gaze and met Raon’s eyes.
“I thought it was impossible, but Great Lord Gwangpung defeated his father Roman and exalted Sieghart’s name.”
Glenn nodded as if Raon was great.
“On top of that, after surviving the dirty raid by the North and South Alliance, I even blocked the blade aimed at me. Even after that… .”
He vividly explained to the prosecutors in the banquet hall the battle he had personally seen and experienced. He made the hands of people who were not there sweaty.
“Raon Sieghardt has achieved feats that exceed the promise he made to me. thereafter… .”
Glenn showed more pride in his eyes than ever toward Raon and Sylvia.
“Elevate Sylvia Sieghardt and Raon Sieghardt to the top of the immediate hierarchy, and expand the territory of the annex to twice its current size. “I will grant Raon Sieghardt’s one wish.”
He calmly nodded, as if he would accomplish anything, and handed the golden badges that his direct descendants had to Raon and Sylvia.
“Thank you.”
Raon and Sylvia lowered their heads to Glenn with a trembling voice.
“Wow!”
“You finally achieved it!”
“Raon! good job!”
“My lord!”
Executives and Gwangpungdae prosecutors who were close friends applauded and cheered.
The music that resonated in the banquet hall also changed to a more exciting tone.
“lady!”
“young master!”
The maids also shed tears as if their wish had come true just by seeing this moment when Raon and Sylvia ascended to the ranks.
“Now you’re my nephew too!”
Balder gave a thumbs up as if he had done well.
“Congratulations. Raon. “Sylvia.”
Denier also applauded and nodded.
“… … .”
Karun, who normally would have interrupted in some way, kept his mouth shut.
Since he was quiet, the other immediate executives could not say anything and just stood still like dumb people.
Raon clenched his fists, feeling the festive atmosphere of the banquet hall. His heart was pounding like it was going to explode.
‘I finally achieved one.’
For some people, being a direct descendant may be a very minor thing given to them from birth, but for him and Sylvia, it was a wish that must be fulfilled. He was so happy that he achieved that goal with everyone’s blessings.
I began to feel confident that I could get my revenge by killing Derus.
“thank you. thank you.”
Sylvia lowered her head. She couldn’t hold it back and eventually shed tears.
“thank you.”
Raon held Sylvia’s hand and bowed his head.
“But will it be based on territory and wishes? hey! nephew! “I’ll take care of the money!”
Balder waved his hand excitedly, saying he would send him some gold coins.
“hey. Shut up. Raon is my nephew!”
Aris jumped up and was next to Raon.
“Now that you’re officially my niece, please call me aunt.”
Her eyes were red as if she was telling me to call her right away.
“Kuhm, uncle is fine too.”
Balder licked his lips as if he wanted to hear his uncle’s voice first.
“La, Raon.”
“Over there, over there!”
“Hehehe! “Wouldn’t grandfather come first?”
Rimmer, Cheryl, and Roen pointed to Glenn, whose eyes were as cold as ice.
“Can Mom do it again just for today?”
Now that Sylvia has become a direct descendant, she leans in on her shoulder, saying that she wants to properly hear what she has to say about her mother.
“aunt!”
“uncle… .”
“grandfather!”
“mom.”
Enthusiastic gazes poured in from four directions along with the titles they wanted to hear.
“uh… .”
Raon’s eyes turned faster than ever.
