Chapter 572
“Keuuugh!”
Karun only glared at Aris, but couldn’t open his mouth again. Seeing her chewing her lips, she seemed to be holding back resentment.
“sister… .”
Denier shook his head quickly. He muttered a beg for patience and put his hands together.
“Suck!”
Balder kept his mouth shut and only looked straight ahead, fearing that sparks would fly on him as well.
“From now on, the moment you guys open your snouts, you and I will have a life-or-death relationship. okay?”
Aris pointed at Karun, Denier, and Balder in turn and tilted her chin.
“Um… .”
Jeonju, one of the most powerful forces, also kept their mouths shut, as if they did not want to have a life-and-death relationship with the transcendent.
After Aris silenced her younger siblings, she went back to Raon’s side.
“I said I would call my nephew my nephew, but I am the one who has a complaint. I’ll accept it no matter what.”
She snapped her fingers, as if to ask if she had something to say, not just to the jeonju, but also to other executives. Of course, no one raised her hand.
“No? So from now on, the person who blocks the voice of Aunt… .”
“Hey, Aris.”
Raon interrupted Aris and pointed to the top of the podium. Glenn was raising her hand so naturally.
“Aris Sieghard.”
Glenn looked down at Aris with empty eyes.
“Even if you get older, the thing like thunder and nakedness doesn’t change.”
“Whoa, I knew it would be like this.”
Aris let out a low breath and raised her gaze.
“I know the reason for the division of direct and collateral. I also think it is necessary. But things have changed.”
She straightened her back confidently, as if she didn’t want to lose to Glenn.
“Raon is originally a child who should belong to the direct family, and he has proven himself worthy to be in the direct family.”
Aris took a step closer to Glenn and raised her voice.
“If you have a track record of becoming a Grand Master at the age of 21, beheading a disciple of Seonggeomryeonju, and cutting off even the Dragonhyeon Sword Master, it would be possible for an outsider to be listed as a direct descendant, but why are you being so strict only with Raon!”
“Ah, Mr. Aris!”
Raon reached out to stop Aris, but she instead moved forward.
“What if Raon escapes somewhere else? All of the Six Emperors, Xin Zuo Ling, and others will welcome you with open arms, but you want to miss it and regret it later?”
Aris looked back at Raon and showed a sad look.
“Of course, that child won’t leave Sieghart, but it’s right to treat him according to his achievements and abilities!”
She let out a cool snort as if she had said everything.
“Your words have a point.”
Glenn looked at Aris and nodded calmly.
“It’s just that you’re worse than the storm troop lord, so those here haven’t heard what he’s accomplished yet.”
“Um… .”
Aris scratched her head and stepped back as if she was embarrassed that she had gone ahead of the windmill.
“Raon Sieghart.”
“yes.”
“Tell me what the windmill did with your mouth.”
“All right.”
Raon nodded and came forward.
“From the moment we arrived at the Sinigan branch, we were suspicious of the Rakion family. If you look closely at the corpses found in the collapsed branch, you can see that it wasn’t the work of the White Blood Church… .”
He told everyone in the audience room from the time he visited the Sinigan branch to the time he cut the dragon hyeon sword.
“I fell into a trance on the battlefield?”
“it’s crazy. No, did you go crazy and climb to that level?”
“What kind of little guy is going… .”
“I’m glad you didn’t come over to us. He’s a guy you can’t handle.”
“From the disciple of Seonggeomryeonju to the Dragonhyeon Swordmaster. You’re back with a feat again… .”
The executives admired each and every achievement of Raon and Gwangpungdae and shed vain winds.
“Gorum! Only I can handle that crazy guy.”
Rimer smiled as if enjoying the exclamation of the executives.
“It is a great achievement.”
Glenn nodded, covering his mouth with his chin resting on his hand.
“Discovering the sins of the Rakion family and stopping their evil deeds, beating the disciples of the Holy Sword Trainer and the Dragon Sword Master, and even becoming a Grand Master at a young age. It is a feat that cannot be faulted.”
He said he acknowledged it and looked at Raon gently. His hand covering his mouth seemed to tremble.
“My lord.”
Raon came forward and bowed his head.
“The reason we were able to reveal the sins of the Rakion family is because of this child.”
I called Sirlen, who was with Dorian, to my side.
“If Sirlen hadn’t shown up his courage twice, the Rakion family would have hidden their true feelings and hit us in the back in the end.”
Raon patted Sirlen on the back and smiled softly.
“ah… .”
The red color returned to Sirlen’s complexion, which had been pale with tension.
“I guess so.”
Glenn looked at Sirlen and nodded briefly. She seemed to have softened her voice, though a little.
“Me, over there!”
Sirlen knelt down and bowed her head.
“There is something I want to ask of you!”
The child bit his lip and hit his head on the floor.
“There is no need for such courtesy. Wake up.”
When Glenn lightly waved his hand, Sirlen’s head lifted naturally.
“What is your request?”
“My, let me run the Rakion family!”
Sirlen recited exactly what she said to Raon on the hospital bed.
“I will become Sieghart’s strength so that this never happens again. please!”
Glenn didn’t answer that and looked at Raon.
“How many survivors of the Rakion family?”
“It is about two-fifths of the existing number of people. The military power itself is not very good, but the loyalty to the family is high.”
Raon emphasized that the remaining members were useful in order to become Sirlen’s strength.
“Running a family is not something a child can do.”
Glen looked back at Sirlen and slightly frowned.
“ah… .”
“but.”
As Sirlen’s expression hardened, Glenn’s words continued.
“If you made up your own will while being tortured by your family, you wouldn’t be considered a child.”
He met Sirlen’s shaking eyes and nodded.
“I will watch for a while.”
“Go, thank you! thank you!”
Sirlen banged her forehead on the floor until there was a thud.
“Hey, wake up.”
Raon forcibly dragged Sirlen, who didn’t straighten her back like a slug.
“Then are you done?”
Aris smiled brightly and shook her hand, as if she was happy that things had worked out.
“The Rakion family has been resolved, and Raon is now my nephew… .”
“It is not.”
Glenn turned his gaze to Aris and shook his head.
“Yes?”
Aris widened her eyes as if she was dumbfounded.
“Do it in moderation! What’s the difference between direct and collateral!”
“Even if he made an achievement that could be a direct descendant, the current head of the Gwangpung unit is in a collateral position. You cannot accept that title until you become a direct descendant.”
Glenn’s eyes darkened.
“but!”
“Aris Sieghart. Even if you do not have a current position, you are carving your name on the highest level of Sieghart. If you, who should be leading by example, break the rules, what will others think?”
“Um… .”
Aris was frustrated, but she couldn’t refute it, as if she thought it wasn’t wrong, and only wrinkled her face.
“If you want to listen to your aunt, do it after Raon ascends the direct line.”
“Then you’re raising the direct line right away, right?”
“Not even that.”
“Oh, why!”
She stomped her feet loudly and raised her voice.
“The point at which he ascends the direct line is January 1 next year.”
“January 1st?”
Aris tilted her head as if to say something.
“you’re right.”
Raon stood next to Aris and nodded.
“The head of the family promised to raise my mother directly to the direct line if she wins the life-and-death battle with the king next year.”
“viceroy… .”
Aris looked at Raon and frowned.
“Your father is not an easy opponent! He could die!”
“I know.”
Raon laughed softly. Having met his father in person and shared swords with him, he was fully aware of how strong he was.
“I don’t want to break the bar I made up for myself just because circumstances have changed. I want to defeat my father, raise the family name, and put her mother in the position of the direct line.”
Raon spat out the oath he had made with Glenn as if declaring it to everyone present.
“Keugh… .”
“… … .”
Karun frowned as if he didn’t like the promise itself, and Denier looked at Raon with an expressionless expression as if he were a doll.
“Hoo!”
Balder opened his eyes wide as if he liked that confidence.
“Keah!”
Aris screamed and hugged Raon tightly.
“How to! You are so nice! How did a child like this come out of our family?”
She rubbed Raon’s cheek while saying that he was Sylvia’s son.
“Kuhm!”
Glenn cleared his throat as if telling Aris to fall.
“It’s so unique!”
Aris hugged Raon even tighter, ignoring Glenn’s eerie spirit.
“Be careful!”
“Ah, why are you like this!”
Glenn frowned and used his will to separate Raon and Aris.
Rimer and Roen met each other’s eyes as they looked at Glenn’s distorted expression.
‘You’re doing that because you’re jealous of hearing the voice of the head of the household and hugging your aunt right now?’
‘Heh heh heh.’
* * *
Raon went in front of Glenn again when the situation was somewhat settled.
“There is something I haven’t told you yet.”
“What did you say?”
“yes. While I was cutting and servicing the Dragon Hyeon Sword Master, another member of the Seonggeomryun attacked.”
“Who is that?”
“Whoa… .”
I let out a short sigh and closed my eyes. Recalling Rektar’s eyes, which were as dry as desert sand, he parted his lips.
“Bloodmaster Rektar. He is the person we called the Sword Demon.”
When the name of the Sword Demon Rektar came out, the slightly chaotic family warfare subsided into silence again.
“… He was a member of the Seonggeomryun?”
Glenn also opened his eyes for the first time as if he hadn’t predicted Rektar’s work.
“That’s right.”
Raon still couldn’t believe it, so he bit his lip and nodded.
“I have been attacking by calling myself the blood sword master of the Seonggeomryun.”
“… … .”
After hearing the clear answer, Glenn closed his eyes and buried his back in the throne. His face suddenly looked tired.
“Gee, is the Sword Demon Seonggeomyeon?”
“The Sword Demon is a transcendent! The number of transcendentalists increased in the Seonggeomryun?”
“crazy… .”
“Why the hell did you enter the Seonggeomryun?”
“I didn’t go in, I said it was Seonggeomryun from the beginning.”
“I can not understand. Then why are you doing good deeds!”
The officials also turned pale when they heard the news that the Sword Demon belonged to the Seonggeomryeon.
“What did he say to you?”
After a while, Glenn opened his eyes and asked.
“Since the dragon hyeon sword master and cloud are dead, he said that the holy sword master would be satisfied if he took me with him.”
“Did you try to kidnap me?”
“yes. Aris-nim came on time and stopped me, but he tried to take me away.”
“hmm… .”
Glen looked at Aris for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
“It means that Rektar the Sword Demon is our enemy.”
“that… .”
Glenn said something ambiguous. She didn’t answer right away, and she recalled Rektar’s eyes and the swordsmanship he demonstrated.
‘It’s true that he was trying to convey something to me. but… .’
It doesn’t change that you belong to the Holy Sword Training Association.
‘It’s not about saying that there may be other intentions here.’
The part that I felt alone while watching Rektar was not something I would bring out in a public setting like this.
“you’re right. They are enemies.”
Raon looked at Glenn and nodded heavily.
“And it seems that the Black Tower, Seonggeomyeon, and White Blood Church have formed an alliance.”
“alliance?”
“yes. If you recall the words of the dragon sword master and Rektar… .”
He told Glenn and the executives what he had predicted through the words of the Dragon Sword Master.
“look! Why are you leaving a child who asks for information like this!”
Aris praised her for her excellent intelligence, perhaps regretting that she still couldn’t upload it to her direct family.
“Good work. You brought a lot.”
As Glenn nodded and gestured, Loen took up the board and climbed onto the podium.
“Raon Sieghart. Come forward.”
“yes.”
Raon nodded and climbed onto the podium.
“I will stop the evil deeds of the Rakion family, and I will give you a gold plate and a prize for the feat of killing the disciples of the Holy Sword Master and the Dragon Sword Master.”
Glen held out a gold plate and a red box from the plate Loen was holding.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head as he received the gold plate and box. However, unlike usual, he was not in a good mood.
‘Because this kind of reward wasn’t what I wanted right now.’
Raon went down the podium without revealing the bitterness in his heart.
* * *
Gajujeon became calm after Gwangpungdae and the executives left.
“Ehh.”
Rimmer leaned against the pillar and let out a short sigh.
“It was a great opportunity, just take it!”
“What are you saying.”
Glenn, lost in thought, slowly looked away.
“What do you mean? Of course it’s Lyon. When Aris came forward and gave it to her, it would have been nice if she immediately posted it to the direct descendant!”
Rimmer said he was frustrated and tapped his chest with his left hand.
“Karun and Balder were scared of Aris and kept their mouths shut, but where else can you find an opportunity like this?”
“Didn’t you tell me? That child and I promised something first.”
Glenn shook his head resolutely.
“In addition, borrowing the power of Aris to ascend directly to the direct line is not a good decision. Sylvia and those living in the annex can live comfortably only when that child stands above the direct line by herself.”
He looked at Rimmer with sunken eyes.
“If Raon is put in the direct line now, the feat that child did will subside, and more people will complain that Aris has risen to the direct line.”
Glenn was confident in his judgment, as if he had already envisioned all the future.
“Heh heh heh.”
Rowen smiled thinly and nodded.
“I think the same. If Raon-nim had ascended to the direct line today, his friendship with Aris-nim would have stood out more than his feat of becoming Grand Master.”
He laughed, saying that it would be better for Raon to rise to the direct rank through a confrontation with his father.
“There… .”
Glenn chewed his molars and set a fierce gaze.
“Because that child is a direct descendant, the first word he should say is not aunt, but grandfather! You’ll never see your aunt come out first!”
He glared at the space where Aris was standing, saying that he could not yield to this.
“under… .”
Rimmer lowered his eyes and shook his head.
“I’ll show you the real me in front of me. Then it would have been over!”
He shook his head in regret.
“Heh heh heh.”
Loen also smiled softly this time, as if sympathizing with Rimmer’s words.
“What are you going to do?”
Glenn frowned and cast his gaze at Rimmer.
“well.”
Rimer licked his lips and scratched his head.
“I don’t know yet. what to do… .”
He shook his head, still undecided.
“But there is something more important than that.”
“What is it?”
“How much is that pension and severance pay? You need to know that to make decisions… .”
As Rimer smirked and spoke, Glenn raised a finger.
Don’t fall out!
Above Rimer’s head, thunderbolts burned violently.
“No, I just did it! It’s a joke!”
“after… .”
Glenn couldn’t bear to beat Limer, who was a patient, and erased the thunderbolt with his face wrinkled.
“I want to go back to my hometown for a while.”
“hometown?”
“yes. Now I have to return this sword as well.”
Rimer struck the sword he wore around his waist.
“Right.”
Glen nodded calmly. It seemed that Rimer would accept any choice.
“good night. Come get some fresh air.”
Having said that, he rose from his throne and went down the platform.
“Where are you going?”
At Rimer’s question, Glenn calmly shook his head.
“Where to go.”
* * *
“… It happened.”
Raon returned to the annex and told Sylvia everything that had happened.
“I see.”
Sylvia let out a low sigh while looking at Raon.
“what do you think?”
“Didn’t Rektar say that he let you go even though he could have caught you?”
“I guess so.”
“Then it seems right that I have something to tell you.”
She nodded her head, maintaining a calm expression.
“I told you before. He seems to have a relationship with your father.”
“You did.”
“He might have come all the way there because he knows the relationship between you and your father. Wasn’t that a warning to be careful in the future?”
“warning… .”
Certainly thanks to Rektar, I learned that the Holy Swordsman, the Black Tower, and the White Blood Church were allied, and I realized that all three were targeting me.
“I just said this because I thought it was good. You never know what it will be like in real life, so be careful.”
“Yes.”
Raon nodded while holding Sylvia’s hand.
“It was hard. Stop and rest.”
Sylvia smiled and waved her hand, though her complexion was tired.
“Get some rest too, mother.”
Raon bowed his head to Sylvia and left her room. Back in her room, she sat down on the floor.
“ha… .”
I’m tired.
Because of Rektar’s work, I still couldn’t organize my mind.
I would have come to my senses if it was a clear betrayal, but I couldn’t make up my mind because I didn’t know what Lektar meant.
-Hmm… .
Lars frowned at Raon, who was in trouble.
– Even the original king, who is full of humanity, doesn’t understand this.
The guy clicked his tongue, saying that humans are really complicated.
“I know.”
Raon sighed as he lay on the floor instead of going to bed.
“Human relationships are really complicated.”
As I spat out a short complaint, a large shadow filled the window.
When I raised my gaze, Glenn, who showed a fierce complexion, motioned as if to come out.
“omg… .”
Raon jumped up and went outside.
‘Are you giving me a reward that I couldn’t give you in the audience room?’
There were many times when Glenn came to visit me at night and offered additional rewards, saying that the rewards given in the match against Gaju were not enough. She seemed to have come with that intent this time too.
However, what I needed now was peace of mind rather than material compensation, so I did not have high expectations while following Glenn.
As I approached the lake in the annex with a little less power, Glenn turned around. He looked at her and nodded her head gently.
“It must have been difficult.”
