All Power Wizard Part 1 Side Story Episode 015
Ep 6. Night in the capital (1)
“Next, there will be the ‘Grand Order of Moran’ awarding ceremony. At this award ceremony, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Great Reinak Empire visited the palace in person to personally praise the recipients for their achievements. “I will attend the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Grand Duke Hayat.”
“Waaah!”
Bolvar Peten, a young knight soon to turn thirty, had nothing to fear.
“As you know, the Grand Order of Moran is the most honorable medal a knight can receive. This is the first time in the long history of the empire that this peony medal has been awarded to a knight from a foreign country rather than a knight of the empire. As such a significant and meaningful day… … . Today, it is a very proud day for me as I present this Peony Medal on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor. finally
“I will make an announcement while praising the honor of the recipient.”
“The recipient of the award is Bolvar Peten!”
There was nothing rough about it.
Bolvar walked forward without hesitation and bowed his head to the recipient, the Empire’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Then, the Minister of Foreign Affairs read the emperor’s handwritten congratulatory message and placed the Grand Peony Medal on Bolvar’s chest.
The celebration continued.
“Bolvar Peten is between empire and anti-state
He participated as the vanguard of a friendly nation in the armed war that took place in 1972, made a remarkable performance, and was recognized for his skills and loyalty, so he was awarded this medal. Congratulations, Lord Petton.”
“thank you.”
Bolvar looked at the peony wreath hanging on his chest.
The meaning of this small medal is very significant.
He became the first knight of the kingdom to be praised by the emperor of the empire, which meant that he was well recognized by high-ranking officials.
The path ahead of him was extremely bright.
From now on, even if he walks without getting his boots dirty once, he will become the leader of the Golden Knights.
Even if he just sits still, people will support him and the gold will never leave his side.
It was meant to be that way.
No, this little peony cage will definitely make that happen.
However, Bolvar Peten’s gaze at the peony garden was not very hot.
In the end, isn’t it the honor that comes from killing someone?
He was a knight by nature, so cutting down people wasn’t that difficult.
I didn’t think it was anything to laugh about.
I just calmly waited for the ceremony to end.
Although his body was in the palace, his mind was already in the bean field.
‘Emily••••••,
The only one who makes his heart hot
A woman.
A woman so lovingly holds my hand, which has become ugly with calluses from lifting a spear every day.
How many months has it already been since I haven’t seen her due to the long war?
We have been on the battlefield for nearly a year.
That’s why I wanted to go back quickly.
He wanted to hold her in his arms, tell her that he missed her, and comfort his soul that was covered in the blood of the enemy.
However, even after the ceremony was over, people did not let him go.
“Look, Bolvar! “Where are you going?”
“I’m going home. “Why are you doing this?”
“Uh-huh! A house? A war hero who was praised by the emperor for his merits has returned to his home country. Do you really want to send him back home like this? Your Majesty threw a grand feast for us. “You should attend there.”
“I’m a little tired. “I’m going back.”
“Oh dear… … . “You’re about to be promoted to vice-captain, so are you going to disobey your superior’s orders?”
“I didn’t mean that.
“If that’s not what you mean, I can’t even send it to you. Please follow me quickly. I need to work my ass off before I get promoted to my boss. “Hehe.”
Bolvar’s steps did not go away easily.
This is because the face of Emily, who was waiting for her safe return at home, came to mind.
As he hesitated, his superior’s face distorted.
“Uh-huh! Are you really going to make me feel this bad? How many times have I seen you?
It’s a year! “Is it possible for a person to change like this because he or she received the peony head?”
“… … no. Well, I’ll just stop by for a moment.”
“Hehe, that’s right. cancer! This is the place for you. Would it be okay if the main character were left out? Come on, let’s go.”
Bolvar was a soldier who followed orders from above and below, and had no authority to disobey orders from his superiors.
His gaze turned outside the palace.
‘Just wait a little longer.’
♦ * ♦
“Lord Bolvar, please take my drink too.”
The event Bolvar Peten attended was an event to welcome war heroes who returned home safely after a long war.
It was a grand feast held at the king’s order, but the king did not even show up.
Probably Haya, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Reinak Empire who visited the palace to award medals.
It was clear that they were attending the Grand Duke.
Did they say that a fox is king in a den without a tiger?
When the king was away, the leadership of the feast was taken over by nobles who flattered the royal family.
“Oh my gosh, you’re doing this again so shamelessly. “Are you sure you won’t accept my drink?”
“Take a drink. “I really want to offer a drink to Lord Bolvar.”
The main character of this feast is definitely Bolvar.
It was Peten.
There was no way the nobles hosting the feast would leave Bolvar alone like this.
In fact, he was a knight whose merits were directly recognized by the emperor.
The character is good, and he is even single.
Any noble who had a daughter would make an effort to impress Bolvar, regardless of the daughter’s age.
From women who are fully married to women in their early teens who have not yet taken off their young clothes.
One after another, they tried to connect with Bolvar, and Bolvar knew very well what the nobles wanted from him.
That’s why I didn’t pay attention in the first place.
“sorry. “I don’t enjoy alcohol.”
“Sir, you are a famous lover even within the Golden Knights. How is that possible? “I guess you just feel uncomfortable with the alcohol I’m pouring for you.”
“Yes, to be honest, yes.”
“Why are you uncomfortable? “It’s just a simple drink.”
“It’s so uncomfortable to have that drink on top.”
Naturally, there was nothing on the liquor bottle.
He said it was just a simple drink, but he meant that he was well aware of the hidden agenda behind it, so please stop paying attention.
At this point, ordinary nobles who value face tend to step back.
Now that my true feelings have been revealed,
Rather, he often pretends not to be interested in Bolvar.
However, this person was different.
“I’m really sad. “How can you trample on my face like this?”
“No, would I want to bother sticking around even though I know you don’t like it? The reason why he refuses to lose face, but still circles around Lord Bolvar like a fly. Don’t you know? My daughter habitually holds a knife to her wrist. If it weren’t for Lord Bolvar, I would die right now.
Let go of the threat. As a father, can’t you just sit back and watch this happen? “Do you really want to have a funeral?”
“… … “Still, I will refuse.”
“You’re really coming this far.”
The nobleman’s name is Pubet.
He is poor.
He was a man who had grown quite a bit of spice farming in his hometown, and by combining it with the alchemy of the magic civilization, he opened a commercial business in the empire and made a lot of money.
Although he was a commoner, he bought the title of local nobleman with money,
He looked for every opportunity to advance into central politics.
Pubet showed great talent as a merchant, but that was just him.
The bowl is small.
He had completely forgotten his old days as a commoner and behaved carelessly, and he was also unable to let go of the dirty habits he had acquired during his time as a merchant.
He tries to solve everything with ‘money’.
“great. “How much will it cost?”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“I will buy Lord Bolvar today. The price just for receiving the drink I poured for you was 1,000 gold. How is it?”
It must be that of a typical small person.
“That’s unpleasant.”
As Bolvar’s face crumpled, Puvet even secretly smiled.
“sorry. A lowly bastard like me with no history or genealogy dared to insult the only blood relative of the ‘Peton’ family, which was reputed to be a famous family. Oh my. All famous houses are a thing of the past, right? Now it has the word ‘fallen’ in front of it.
hey… …
“This guy! “Do you want to die?”
Bolvar slammed the table and shouted, but Puvet didn’t even blink.
“sorry. “The little man has committed a mortal sin.”
With their mouths they talk about having committed a mortal sin, but with their eyes they are smiling.
Pubet knew.
That Bolvar Peten would do no harm to him.
In this place, take your own money
Because there were more than one knight.
“Bolvar! “Are you drunk?”
“Now, how can you do this on a good day? “It looks like Lord Puvet may have made a mistake for a moment. Let me calm down and enjoy the entertainment.”
“It’s not a lie. This person is insulting my honor… …
“Uh-huh! Are you really planning to make me feel bad too?’ Come on, sit down!”
Moreover, Pubet and Bolvar Peten
He was also certain that he could not draw the sword at himself.
Bolvar’s spear skills were so high that even Perna’s horse spear knights were speechless, but… … .
Other than that, it was clumsy in many ways.
He has a good nature and can’t be fooled.
He was weak at leading a conversation, and his political skills were virtually non-existent.
On the other hand, Pubet was a person well-versed in this area.
“sorry. “Lord Bolvar, can you give the little man a chance to make amends?”
As Bolvar Peten sat down with a blatantly displeased look on his face, Puvet sat down with him.
“If you don’t want to talk round and round, let me be a little more direct. We are confident that we will be a truly suitable partner. The Petton family needed money for the family’s revival… … . And, for a guy like me who needs a foundation, the foundation that is Lord Bolvar.”
“Now you are revealing your dark insides. Not really, just because of the self-harming girl.
“It appears that you are not.”
“It’s like this because of my girlfriend. Do you think there are things money can’t buy in this country? Even if you are not Lord Bolvar, you can buy the entire history of another family and make it your own. However, the reason I cling to Lord Bolvar without considering other options is because of my wife. “You know, right?”
“Don’t you know why I always refuse? “I have a woman whom I love.”
“You mean that ‘commoner’?”
“You seem to place particular emphasis on the word commoner. In a world where you can buy titles with money… …
Puvet’s eyes, thinking that Bolvar had embarrassed him, turned fierce.
“Why do you want to marry such a woman? “She is a woman who is of no help to Sir.”
“Because I love you. Because she is the woman I love more than anyone else. No amount of gold or her title will make me as hot as she does. “Do you need any more reasons?”
Pubet thought.
As long as that commoner woman is there, Bolvar Peten will never be taken away.
