intern
‘···What is this?’
The beautiful ninth star, Sophia, glared at my torn hand.
Aaron was stronger than himself.
Since it was Aaron who won the fifth star at the end, I thought that something like this could happen.
Sophia lived an even more intense life after the collapse of the Kingdom of Byzant.
Sophia could not forget the feeling of breaking bones and tearing flesh on the battlefield, so she fought in the Territory Wars.
That was why Sophia was confident that she would become stronger than the other stars that were stuck in peace.
When I fought Aaron and one soul, I lost, but I got the hang of it.
However, the Aaron I ran into again was completely different.
Aaron called them back to see their skills.
And then he said something arrogant, telling me to hurry up and finish and eat, and to rush in at once.
Even though she had defeated him, Sophia was angry at the excessive ignorance and rushed at him-.
‘Is this the power of a human?’
Sophia looked down at her torn palm and stuck out her tongue.
Sophia was confident in her strength, but her palm was torn when she clashed swords with Aaron.
Since Sophia was like that, there was no need to even mention the others.
Sophia turned her head from her fallen position to look straight ahead.
Aaron swings his sword without being pushed back even when surrounded by his subordinates.
He didn’t even draw the sword on his back, but was using a cheap sword borrowed from a mean-looking guy.
Because the arm was so long, even though it was a sword, it felt like a spear from a distance.
The subordinates in front were surprised and raised their swords to stop him, but-.
The three men who had clashed swords dropped their swords at the same time and screamed.
Dropping the sword was something only fools would do, but you couldn’t blame them.
Sophia also clashed swords with him and lost her grip.
‘What happened in the meantime···.’
Aaron was already famous for his size and strength, but not to this extent.
“head!”
“Eww! You said it was the head···!”
“Do you believe it! Legs!”
“Ugh! It’s my head! Damn it!”
“head!”
“Ahh! Why do I have such a real head….”
He was even playing a prank on the kids who had dropped their swords.
Given the circumstances, the subordinates’ faces were filled with the look of wanting to run away at any moment.
These guys never ran away even on the battlefield, but now they looked like they were barely holding on.
It felt like I was facing an unclimbable wall, something other than fear.
‘···At this rate, I’ll really become the master of the stars.’
Sophia laughed out loud while lying down.
It was clear that news of his defeat would quickly reach them.
The widely spread stars pretended not to care, but they were very interested in each other.
The stars that usually covet him will come looking for Aaron upon hearing that news…
“Head!”
“What does head mean…. Aah! It’s a head!”
‘How do you win that?’
The kingdom of Byzant was a place with a high regard for strength, to the point where there was a tradition that the strongest one would become the highest star.
Even if Aaron had ruined the kingdom, if his strength became known, stars would gather around him.
Even when he was not strong, Aaron was followed by people.
Then Sophia met Berman’s eyes.
Berman’s eyes were similar to those of the time when he saw himself being scolded by his mother for tearing the thread.
‘This sucks.’
I was confident that I had changed a lot, but I was still useless.
“Are you just going to lie there?”
Aaron, who had finally managed to defeat eleven people on his own, looked down at Sophia and asked.
“no.”
Sophia answered briefly and stood up.
“You have a twisted knee.”
Sophia laughed and took hold of the sword with her torn hand.
And I corrected the direction of the knee as Aaron pointed out.
It seemed a little better than before, but lying on the ground was the same.
“Are you done?”
Sophia, who had been lying down to catch her breath for a moment, got up again at Aaron’s flat question.
“again.”
Sophia wiped the blood flowing from her palm and picked up the sword again.
‘Your eyes have changed.’
Aaron had dead eyes, a far cry from his former bright gaze. The kind of eyes you might see in someone fleeing a battlefield.
Sophia didn’t bother to ask why they had abandoned her.
I thought he had changed, but he was still Aaron, pretending not to know.
***
‘Not bad.’
I nodded in satisfaction as I looked at the prostrate guys.
I roughly mixed my hands and saw that the kids were at a decent level. Unlike Vermunt, whose muscles had shrunk, these guys had actually gained weight.
He said he was playing mercenary, but it seemed like he lived diligently.
Among them, Sophia was particularly outstanding.
Although it would be no match for Vermunt, who had recovered his muscles, he was a skilled fighter who would be hard to find an opponent for among those who did not use Aura. He was clearly the best among mercenaries.
‘What should I do with these guys?’
I examined them, tapping my fingers.
To this extent, they were among the most skilled mercenaries.
You could leave him at Cassidy, but he’d be a waste of manpower.
Cassidy was doing well in his own way, and it was clear that leaving those bloodthirsty guys in a peaceful place would only cause trouble.
“Are they Ethan’s mercenary force?”
“Yes, but he has kept all the stars that could threaten him far away, so it’s okay to think of him as a separate mercenary force.”
I nodded at Brock Lesnar’s answer.
‘I was originally very jealous. I was also very greedy.’
Ethan’s strength and talent were not lacking in anything less than the best, but his personality was the problem. He was like a brat who hated harsh words and only liked praise.
“There was no contact, but there were two summonses this year. I found out that the first one was for a demonstration of force against the Duke of Descartes, and the second one was for an unknown reason. I did not respond to either one.”
‘···A show of force against the Duke?’
There was no way Ethan had the strength to protest.
As a marquis, he ruled over the part of the kingdom that was Byzant, but I heard that he was forbidden from receiving knights.
In the desert, they could somehow hold off the knights due to their geographical advantage, but once they left the desert, they were clearly no match for them.
‘It was the Empire that took care of it from the beginning.’
The desert guys were pretty useful, but they couldn’t deal with the Aura unless they were within the tenth.
A knight could also die from being shot by a blinding arrow, or, as in the case of the Flying Baron, having his neck snapped.
There were many variables as the knights were not invincible, but in a head-on fight, the heavily armored knights had a hard time with the desert guys.
‘I don’t know if it’s not a head-on fight.’
They were experts at killing people.
No matter what method was used, it was clear that he would be caught if not from the front.
Even I, who didn’t actually have an aura, somehow managed to avoid it.
Auror was a fraudulent ability, but it could not be invincible because the one holding it was human.
“Are there many people like you who refused to be summoned?”
“Only two or three people responded within the tenth.”
It was significant that only two or three of them responded, as they were treated as generals within the tenth rank and were in charge of operating the troops.
‘It’s falling apart. Of course, that’s to be expected, considering the red-level request was placed in that situation.’
It wasn’t a small amount of money for a red-grade request. Of course, he had been given the position of Marquis, but if he was keeping him around because of a grudge, it was obvious how he would manage it.
‘Why are you looking for me so much? Have I forgotten something?’
At the time, my eyes were clouded with anger, so it was a possible story.
It’s been a while since I told Google to contact me, so the second summons could have had something to do with me.
‘Come to think of it, it hasn’t arrived yet. Google, you’re not as capable as I thought.’
No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t bring his troops all the way to the other side of the continent to catch me.
There were countless territories he had to pass through in the process, and he had to be mindful of the imperial family’s opinion, so it was impossible for him under any pretext.
However, he was not the type of person to leave it in someone else’s hands or to tolerate it, so it was clear that he would bring his elite troops himself.
‘I guess they’ll just silence the rumors in case someone else comes along.’
In that case, the number would be at most about ten to twenty.
Since Vermunt was on my side, it wasn’t that threatening even if he came like that. Since I knew him, I didn’t bother to hide it and told Google.
He deserved it, and besides, if he was going to keep throwing money away, it was better for me to have it.
‘He’s probably thinking of me like Brock Lesnar back then.’
I looked at the swollen Brock Lesnar and collected my thoughts.
First of all, I thought I should talk to Google.
“Do you have any money?”
First, I collected all of their belongings to check the loot.
Those bound by one soul took out everything they had without a moment’s hesitation. There was no need to search for it.
‘Oh… quite a bit.’
He must have worked hard, because his pockets were quite full.
Well, it turns out that they ran a pretty high-level mercenary force…
It was a shame to keep these guys who could make money like this tied up in Cassidy. But it was also awkward to send them far away. There might come a time when there was a shortage of workers.
‘I think it would be better to stick to Karzan’s side.’
It was clear that Dante would know how to use it well.
It’s already pretty salty, but I couldn’t even guess what I would get in return if I sent these kids away.
I checked the pocket I received, put an appropriate amount in it, and returned it to him.
“Go to Karzan. Find a man named Dante there and tell him that I sent you. Listen to what he has to say.”
“Understood. Master of the Stars.”
Brock Lesnar got up without a moment’s hesitation.
“Other stars will come.”
Brock Lesnar looked at me and said.
“Or so.”
Brock Lesnar bowed his head deeply in response to my answer and led the kids out.
“Father, isn’t this a great opportunity to marry off the ugly Berman? Slaves are traditionally passed down through generations······.”
I pressed the button on the weasel’s head to silence it.
“Chief, it is not right to treat people like slaves!”
Berman looked at me with a crumpled face and said:
“I am not a slave.”
“yes?”
“Yes! Sex slaves! One male and one female! Eww!”
He silenced the noisy weasel again and opened his mouth.
“I’m an intern.”
I said firmly.
Berman’s eyes widened at that.
Berman licked his lips, but didn’t ask me what he meant.
After briefly deploying our troops, we sat down at an empty table.
“Arong, is this really okay?”
Hannah asked with a worried look on her face, handing me steaming tea instead of beer.
‘Why is there garlic in the tea…’
It was half water and half soup, so it was closer to soup than tea, but the herbs in it were quite expensive.
However, I hesitated because most of them were rumored to be good for men.
Just like with red pepper powder, these guys here buy it without hesitation if they tell them it’s good for a man, so it’s very expensive, but they put so much of it in it…
When I turned my head towards him, Hannah winked and went inside.
‘I think two silver coins went in.’
Since it was expensive, I hesitated to throw it away, so I drank it slowly. However, the smell was quite bad, and it tasted like a health supplement.
Then I held my nose and drank it all at once, then took out the candy I had kept and put it in my mouth.
Even though it was called candy, it was just a lump of sugar and it was very expensive. But it was still edible.
‘···Why this guy.’
When Kanna, who was sitting across from me, saw me, she held my nose and drank the water in one gulp.
Kanna, who drank the water in one gulp, made a candy out of an ice cube and put it in her mouth, frowning deeply.
I handed over a piece of candy.
Kanna did not eat him, but cherished him in her arms.
“Director, is that true?”
Berman, sitting next to me, asked in a small voice.
“what.”
“The story is that Hannah is the leader’s wife, Kanna is the leader’s daughter, Dylan is the leader’s son, and Inquisitor Joanna is the leader’s sworn sister.”
“···what?”
My eyebrows furrowed involuntarily at the long words that came out of Berman’s mouth.
Then, Kanna, who was in front of me, was startled and poured out ice cubes that resembled me from her hands.
Kanna, who suddenly became a broken ice purifier, bit her lips tightly and continued to make ice while looking at me with a guilty expression.
I waved my hand, wondering how to react as the ice cubes that resembled me filled the table.
Kanna, who had stopped in her tracks, looked at me and this time shot lightning out of her mouth.
The thrill woke me up.
“It’s okay.”
I opened my mouth hurriedly because I felt like fire would burst out of my mouth if I left it alone any longer.
Then, Kanna, slightly startled, crouched down like a cat that had been splashed with rain and opened her eyes wide.
At that, I clicked my tongue and nodded again.
Kanna twitched the corners of her mouth. The lightning bolt sticking out from the corner of her mouth looked like me raising my thumb, so I tried to look away.
When I saw the child smiling, I thought it would be okay to say that he was very creative.
Some of the rumors were roughly guessed.
‘Hana opened a bar under my name, so of course there would be misunderstandings…’
As I looked inside with that thought in mind, Hannah met my eyes, smiled broadly, and pretended to make pottery.
Looking at that confident expression, I thought that there might have been a misunderstanding.
‘There have been rumors about Kanna before···.’
There was no need to erase it, since there was no need to sell my name and there would be no harm done to Cassadic.
‘But what about the lung level… brothers?’
I had no idea how such a rumor spread.
In the case of a rumor like the one about the lungs, it was not only not a harmful rumor, but there was no need to deny it in case someone was falsely accused of being a devil.
However, I could not accept the rumor that he was the father of the weasel.
I couldn’t tell their ages from their faces because they had all suffered through hardships, but the weasel was definitely at least ten years older than me.
And how could that ugly bastard be my son? Even the medieval bastards were good at exaggerating rumors, and it felt like too much.
‘Is it because I let you call me father?’
The rumor seemed to have spread, as the weasel often called me father.
Such disgusting rumors had to be uprooted.
At that moment, the weasel headed towards the kitchen.
“Mother, I will carry it.”
“Dylan, don’t call me that···.”
‘That’s the story he spread.’
I could immediately see the root of the rumor.
The moment you wake up to pull out the roots.
“Sister Kanna, Mom came and asked me to fill up some ice.”
I lost the strength to be angry at the sight of the weasel calling Kanna her older sister.
Of course, the tone of his speech was somewhat joking, but…
‘It’s dizzy.’
Well, it was strange to get so worked up about whatever those medieval guys were talking about.
In the first place, the people of the Middle Ages were the ones who made a fuss over trivial things and created strange rumors.
I picked up an ice cube in front of me and put it in my mouth.
“Director, then the rumor is···”
“I don’t know, you little shit.”
I silenced Berman by throwing a duck-shaped ice cube into his mouth.
Berman, who had been eating him whole, muttered something and then closed his mouth.
***
“Captain, are you here?”
As I entered the headquarters, Kel greeted me with a big smile.
As soon as I got to work and saw Kel’s bright smile, I started to feel uneasy for no reason.
“What is it?”
“Oh, you haven’t heard the captain yet? Ahem···.”
My fists clenched at the sight of her awkwardly hunched over appearance.
“Rosa is pregnant. Her belly is protruding – this is it.”
I looked at Kel for a moment as he gestured to my boat, then nodded.
I gave up on understanding Kel long ago, so I never bothered to question it.
“Congratulations.”
Even if it weren’t for Rosa, these guys had a lot of problems with their children.
There was even a time when children who resembled the handsome man were born one after another in the houses around him, causing chaos. It wasn’t just Rosa’s problem.
“Hehehe, thank you. I’ve even decided on a name.”
“already?”
“Yes, I will name it Aaron.”
Kel smiled brightly, like an elementary school student who was biting a bug.
It was a good name, but not one I would recommend.
However, what can I say if I want to name my child that way?
[Your name is Aaron.]
A dry voice suddenly came to mind.
“Yeah, that’s a good name.”
I smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Do you give me permission?”
“It’s your child’s name, so it’s up to you to decide. Aaron is a common name.”
I stamped my boots on the ground and pushed my feet in. I grimaced for a moment at the distinctive smell of leather boots.
“I said that because I thought it wouldn’t work if I gave it the captain’s name.”
“You have to teach that in advance. The name has no meaning.”
After I put on my boots and straightened my back, I felt a sharp pain near my left shoulder.
‘I guess I should get a massage.’
Today’s duty was patrol, so I thought I could go to the podium and get treatment. Rumor has it that my sworn brother was there.
“Then, will you teach my child how to fight later, Captain? Aren’t you the best expert in that field?”
Kel asked, holding out a boot-cleaning cloth.
‘···The expert is a plague.’
I looked at the cloth for a moment and then nodded.
“Yeah, whatever.”
I got up and shook off the dirt from my boots.
“Khuh! Captain, but what does Aaron mean?”
‘Did you plan on giving it to me without even knowing what it meant?’
I clicked my tongue and answered at the sight of Kel smiling so brightly that his yellow molars were visible.
The guys here attach great importance to the meaning of names.
Because I believed that words have power.
“Noble. Or a big mountain.”
Kel’s face became subtle at my answer.
“The name doesn’t have any effect… Ugh… No, I think it’s a huge mountain….”
I hit Kel on the head for talking so cheekily.
Then Kel screamed solemnly, saying that he was now a father.
The sound was quite funny, so I hit him again, and Kel started to panic and ran away.
It seemed like he was still a long way from becoming a father.
“Ah! There’s a bump on my head! Captain, why did you come back with the same armor? No, why is only the arm part the color of poop… It’s really horrible. I should reconsider the child’s name….”
I ignored Kel’s trembling voice, which had no sense of aesthetics whatsoever, and headed to the captain’s office.
The door opened before I could knock.
An unexpected person came out through the door.
“···Marsha?”
“Oh, Aaron! You’ve been working hard since this early morning.”
Masha, with a blush on her face, gave a short greeting and then quickly walked away. Her skirt, which had been slightly raised, fell down in a flurry.
“Khuhmm… My dearly beloved Captain Aaron. How are you doing?”
The captain, who was wearing armor unlike usual, spoke out of breath as if he had just run at full speed.
It wasn’t a very pretty sight.
‘I’ve seen a lot of ugly things this morning.’
“Do you think Brick will have a younger sibling before his children?”
I nodded at Kel’s muttering.
“Khuuuum!! Then let’s work energetically today! I think I’ll go on patrol with you today!”
The captain stood up with a start, stretching his body in an unnatural way, but felt empty underneath.
Although he was a nobleman who had taken off his armor because it was hot in the summer, he still wore a piece of cloth, and now, perhaps because of the aftereffects of the secret meeting, he felt very cool.
Drumroll.
‘hmm···.’
I seriously considered the plan to overthrow the weasel leader.
***
‘What happened, why this urgent···.’
Pullputs muttered, sipping his wine.
Looking at Nova’s frozen face, I felt uneasy for no reason.
Three constables and knights, who seemed to have been called in hastily and had not yet applied oil to their heads, sat down.
“Count Berhard is dead.”
Pulpouts’ mouth opened wide at Nova’s completely unexpected remark. The wine in his mouth sloshed down.
With Nova’s words filling my head, I didn’t have time to pay attention to the wine.
Who is Count Behar?
He was a man who had held the eastern end of the empire for over ten years. He had many eccentric aspects, but he was still a man who never let go of his position.
The last time I saw you, you were in good health and ready to go to battle, so why did you suddenly die?
And why on earth did Aaron arrive at Flitton Castle at that moment?
Why does Aaron immediately come to mind when I hear the story of Behard’s death?
‘No, even if it’s Aaron, he’s still a count.’
I tried hard to suppress the doubts that were rising rapidly.
“What about the sign?”
Pullputs took another sip of wine to regain his composure.
“He was found with his head cut off. Since the Wyvern Knights were attacking Flitton Castle, the culprit is not exactly known. However, since the head was donated by Viscount Montblian, he has been designated Viscount Montblian for now.”
At Nova’s continued words, Pulpouts slurped his wine again.
It was horrible that Count Behart had been beheaded and murdered, but the words ‘Wyvern Knight’ that followed really got to my nerves.
“Wyvern Knight? Why would a Wyvern Knight attack Flitton Castle!”
“It is said that all three of the Royal Knights who visited Cassidy Castle went missing on their way back.”
‘Aaron? No, the timing doesn’t work out.’
Fullfoot thought of Aaron first, then realized the timing was wrong and sighed deeply.
In addition, seeing that the Wyvern Knight appeared at Flitton Castle, it was clear that the mastermind behind it was Count Behart.
‘There was friction at Cassidy too. Is that why? But there’s no reason to make a fuss… Also, I don’t believe that Count Behar has the ability to harm the Imperial Knights.’
It was a completely incomprehensible move, but I was relieved that Cassidyk wasn’t singled out.
It was almost the case that it was not Count Beharth but himself who had his head cut off.
‘The East used to be peaceful, but why has it been like this lately…’
Pulpouts was content with his estate.
Since the people were peaceful and had few problems, it was easy to control them by only allowing the occasional execution.
Additionally, the surrounding scenery was peaceful and quiet, which was nice.
To begin with, I was a full-fledged person who didn’t have much greed, so I was content with what I had, but recently, big things have been happening one after another.
I couldn’t stand it, so I twisted my body to avoid him, and before I knew it, he had taken over the Bolt Castle.
The walls were much thicker than before, and there was one more knight.
In addition, the number of residents was increasing, and the taxes collected were increasing exponentially.
Compared to a year ago, the growth was unbelievable.
Of course, Fullfoot didn’t want him.
‘···Why did it turn out like this?’
Fullfoot touched his forehead, which had become even more furrowed, and recalled his memories.
I observed the execution, and after I flew into the sky, things started to get stranger.
I wonder if there was a curse that day.
‘Is that Aaron?!’
He muttered habitually and then pressed his temples to relieve his headache.
There was no need to regret what had happened, so I turned my thoughts elsewhere.
‘But the three royal knights are missing, and the response is a bit passive.’
The Imperial Family would never tolerate any rebellion against them. If this had been the case, the Imperial Army would have advanced and overturned the entire County of Behart.
Compared to that, the Wyvern Knight’s response was a strong one, but it was also an overly delicate response considering the human casualties.
‘As if trying to minimize the damage to the East.’
It was very different from the past responses, which consistently stood by and watched, and then burned down any resistance to its roots.
I couldn’t continue my thoughts because of the headache that came on suddenly.
“We have withdrawn with Count Behar’s head, but it is certain that the imperial side will soon send someone to Flitton Castle. However, the imperial personnel only care about the taxes and do not care at all about the order in the surrounding area, so it seems that there will be quite a lot of chaos in the future.”
Pulpouts nodded at Nova’s lengthy explanation.
Every single word was correct.
In addition, the issue of Behard’s successor would arise, and it was impossible to predict how great the aftermath of Behard’s death would be.
“Count Behar’s successors will be the ones to urge you to make a choice.”
“yes.”
“Which of the three do you think is the most likely?”
Count Berhard had three sons.
If he had been normal, he would have been the eldest son who would have inherited the title, but since he was a notorious piece of trash, all sorts of rumors were going around.
Since Count Behar had not clearly designated a successor, it was certain that there would be a major family feud for some time.
The moment will soon come when you will have to choose.
The most foolish thing to do was to not stand in line at all, so anyone had to choose.
‘But the eldest son is the most likely.’
No matter how incompetent or bad his reputation, a rich man is a rich man.
“I think it’s more likely that it will be the second son.”
Nova’s opinion differed from Pulpout’s.
He habitually looked at the place where Gerald had been sitting, and the empty space felt huge.
“Why?”
“It is said that the second son was bright and good at math, and that he had been in constant contact with the vassals of the family. As soon as the Wyvern Knight left, many nobles joined the second son.”
Pulpouts’s brow furrowed at Nova’s words.
‘I have been in line with the vassals of the family since before···.’
It could be seen as brilliant, but the story that it had been prepared in advance clearly showed his dark ambition.
Because it means that he went against my father’s will and coveted what was my brother’s.
‘···Nova isn’t perfect.’
I felt uneasy just listening to Nova’s opinion and passing it over.
This is when you need a gerel…
As Fullfoot frowned in discomfort, Adela suddenly shouted from behind him.
“I believe that my third son is worthy of the title of Earl!!”
Although no one asked, Pulpouts pressed his temples at the spirited answer.
Adela had her own definition, but her thoughts were short-sighted and she had as little patience as a child, so it was not worth listening to her…
‘···hmm?’
Fullfoot looked back and forth between Adela and Nova.
It was a composition I had seen many times.
‘Huh… this?’
At that time, my headache was so bad that I could no longer make a decision.
“The third son is famous for his outstanding character. He also dreamed of being a knight in the past, and even though he failed the knighthood exam, he still occasionally picks up his sword. Perseverance is a virtue of a monarch…”
The third son was famous for his good character, but to the monarch, character only shined after he took the throne.
Before sitting down, the right character was poison and weakness.
‘So that’s what it was like because he was a person who dreamed of becoming a knight.’
Fullfoot also thought that the next successor would come from either the first or second son. The third son was completely out of the question.
“The third son is the least likely of the three. It is said that he refused all the offers of his subordinates even after the accident, especially because of his personality. He is a person with no will to begin with.”
Nova frowned slightly and hurriedly retorted.
“But that will be different! When the people are in trouble and in confusion, a hero will rise! That is the most suitable for the third person who dreamed of being a knight. Of course, he is not as good as a knight!”
Adela, who had been using absurd logic, faced Nova with a confident expression.
‘It seems like he’s trying to use the fact that I applied to be a knight to promote himself as a knight.’
I was a little impressed by the fact that he was able to say out loud his obvious intentions.
It was a pretty appropriate amount of stupidity and stubbornness.
“Sir Adela, would you like to sit over there?”
“Yes, I understand.”
At Fullfoot’s command, Adela sat down opposite Nova without a moment’s hesitation.
Looking at the picture of the two, Fullfoot nodded as if he had gained some weight.
“There are already many people who have lined up for the second position. If you don’t get your name on it quickly, there may be retaliation later. The third position that Adela is talking about is not only unwilling, but also has a very weak support base.”
“The virtue of a knight is justice! He is not without will, but only assessing the current situation. And the fact that he covets the position right now, when his father has passed away, shows his character.”
Adela lifted her chin, looking at Nova with a stubborn expression.
It seemed as if she thought she had won. However, strangely enough, Adela’s opinion was not completely wrong.
Because it scratched the uneasiness of full feet.
In fact, Nova’s face, which had been calm when dealing with Gerel, was slightly crumpled.
‘This is better than Geralt.’
Pulpouts sipped his wine while watching the confrontation between the two.
“As I said before, it’s not just about getting into a position based on personality. It’s about the foundation and the support around you…”
“We can’t narrow our differences! Let’s decide it through a duel! Rise! Nova!”
“······I am not a knight, so I cannot challenge you to a duel. Sir Adela.”
However, at Adela’s cheerful request for a duel, Pulpouts once again slurped down his wine.
It seemed like there was something worse than Geralt.
