Chapter 725
Raon’s mind also spun as quickly as his eyes.
‘This is dangerous… .’
I often heard that Lars and Rimmer were not paying attention, but I could clearly see that the current situation was dangerous.
It was clear that if I made the wrong choice here, I would be very tired later.
-This is fun!
Lars touched his thick chin with interest.
-Your fate may change depending on who you call first!
The guy smiled and wagged his tail as if he was enjoying my suffering.
-If you can’t choose, you can call the king master! If you were the real king, you would understand that too!
‘Please shut up.’
Raon lifted Lars’ chin and turned his gaze to Sylvia.
“Raon. mom!”
Sylvia pursed her lips and asked me to go back 20 years and call her mom like she did when she was teaching me how to speak.
‘Why are you really doing that?’
I shook my head and looked to the right.
“No! Aunt comes first! “This was decided a year ago!”
Aris placed her hand on the sword, shouting that she would never give in. He was ready to cut off anyone’s head right away if he got in his way.
‘You really won’t fight… ?’
Raon swallowed his saliva silently and turned his gaze to the front left.
“Don’t you uncle have the best sense of language? “Isn’t it perfect to loosen your tongue when you call me for the first time?”
Balder looked this way and waved his arms as thick as a bear.
“eww… .”
Raon’s urgent expression cooled.
‘Why is that bear interfering?’
In the past, he was upset because he couldn’t eat him, but he started to treat him better little by little, and now he calls him uncle.
Denier, who was at least considerate, stayed still, but I don’t know if he had a thick face or if he was really stupid.
‘It’s so simple that it’s actually difficult to understand.’
Let’s ignore that one.
Raon erased the coolly smiling Balder from his mind and turned his gaze to the podium.
Gooooooo!
Glenn was looking down at himself with eyes colder than ever.
The cold energy coming from him seemed like an ice knife, stabbing into my heart.
‘If I say ‘grandfather,’ they’ll kill me… ?’
Under normal circumstances, it would have been right to call Grandpa first, but right now Glenn’s eyes were so cold that he couldn’t open his lips.
“Raon. are you okay!”
“There’s no need for it, so just call me Grandpa!”
“Grandfather always comes first.”
Cheryl, Rimmer, and Roen shouted that they should call their grandfather first, but Glenn’s expression became even darker.
Just making eye contact sent goosebumps up my spine.
“What is this situation?”
“I-I don’t know… .”
“Well, this is the first time that a subordinate has ascended to the direct rank.”
“Raon. “No, who should Raon call first?”
“Of course I will call Sylvia mom. “Her parents come first.”
“no. Aris said she waited a long time, so her aunt will come first.”
“Usually my grandfather comes first, but I don’t think I can call him… .”
People attending the banquet also held their breath, waiting to see who would call Raon first.
Raon looked at the four people again.
‘For now, ignore the bear.’
I erased Balder from sight as if he didn’t exist here.
‘Except Arisdo.’
Aris is the most bold person among the people around me. He had already been called aunt a few times, so he was definitely not the type of person to get upset if he wasn’t called for the first time.
‘Then it’s mom and grandpa… .’
Actually, I was afraid to bring up the title ‘grandfather’, but I couldn’t ignore it when I saw Rimer, Cheryl, and Roen react like that.
It would be better to use both.
Excluding Aris and Balder, there seemed to be a way out.
“Whoa.”
Raon made a decision and calmed his rapidly beating heart.
“mom.”
The first thing I did was hold the hand of Sylvia, who was right next to me, and called my mom.
“Raon!”
“iced coffee… .”
“Ugh!”
At that moment, Sylvia smiled brightly as if she was flying into the sky, and Glenn showed a murderous expression as if he was facing a holy swordsman or Derus.
“this!”
“Well, it’s ruined… .”
“Hehehe… .”
Cheryl, Rimmer, and Roen slapped their foreheads and stepped back. Their eyes began to tremble with fear.
But Raon’s words aren’t over yet.
“Mom should say hello to ‘grandfather’ first.”
Raon lifted Sylvia’s hand and pointed at Glenn.
“Now that you are a direct descendant again, the first thing you do is call your grandfather father.”
I called Glenn “grandfather” so casually, as if I hadn’t thought about it before.
“ah! yes! “Because I became a direct descendant first.”
Sylvia clapped her hands and nodded.
“father. “It’s been a long time since I last greeted you.”
She held the hem of her dress and carefully bent her knees.
“grandfather. I’ll say hello again too. “This is Raon Sieghardt.”
Raon bowed down with his hand on his chest.
‘I guess this is it, right?’
If this happens, Sylvia will be satisfied, Glenn won’t have any qualms, and Aris will understand.
One seemed empty, but there was no need to worry.
-what’s this!
Lars rushed over with his brows furrowed.
-Using your mom to get out of a crisis, you sneaky bastard!
The guy waved his round fist as if he was angry that the results he wanted didn’t happen.
‘It seems to have been okay.’
It seemed like it worked out well, seeing as Ras said he was being naughty.
“Kahahahah!”
When Raon was about to raise his head with a satisfied smile, a breathless groan came from the podium.
“This old man’s eyes have rolled back!”
“Matriarch! Take a breath! breath!”
“You must not ascend now! You should see the kids get married! don’t go!”
When I looked up, I saw Rimmer, Chad, and Cheryl clinging to Glenn, patting his chest and massaging his arms and legs.
“uh… ?”
I gaped at Glenn, who tilted his head back like a doll whose strings had fallen.
‘what?’
Is it because I’m tired? It started to look blurry, like when Glenn used the sword on Oma’s leaders. He seemed like someone who would soon disappear.
“Hehehe!”
Roen laughed as if he didn’t even know.
‘What is this?’
Raon blinked blankly, looking at Glenn who was becoming increasingly pale.
‘Did I make a mistake… ?’
* * *
It wasn’t long before Glenn’s breathing returned.
He returned to the throne room with Rimmer, Cheryl, and Roen, saying that the internal wounds he received in the war had not yet healed.
I was concerned about the strange look Glenn gave me before leaving the banquet hall, but I was glad that he didn’t seem to be seriously hurt.
-Keu… .
Lars let out a series of deep exclamations as he enjoyed the banquet food as if he didn’t care what happened to Glenn.
-This roast duck is the main dish of the day! The skin is crispy as if freshly fried, and the flesh is tender and melts gently as soon as it touches your tongue!
He raised his finger and said that among all the dishes, the roast duck was the best.
‘I really can’t eat anymore…’ .’
Raon leaned his back against the wall and sighed. Because of the las, my stomach was so full that it was on the verge of bursting. I wanted to get some rest.
-Hmm, I’ve filled my stomach, so I’ll stop here for today. For dessert, I had beaded ice cream… .
‘Runaan ate all the ice cream?’
Runan pointed to the ice cream line where he had finished eating and left.
There was no ice cream in sight, let alone the beaded ice cream.
-Keeeeee!
Lars screamed while holding his head.
-Ice cream girl!
The guy shouted Runaan’s name as if screaming.
“Raon! “This guy!”
While Raon was enjoying Lars’ screams, Aris came up next to him.
“Why don’t you call me first?”
“sorry. aunt.”
Raon bowed his head to Aris.
“I felt like the only person who could understand me in that situation was my aunt.”
“It’s no use flattering me now. “This!”
Despite saying that it was no use, Aris pulled Raon’s cheek with a smile on his face.
“Anyway, I don’t know who you look like, but my brain is spinning like crazy.”
“yes?”
“It was the best decision to call Sylvia first and connect her father.”
She said it was really good and patted my head.
“aunt. Thanks to you. thank you.”
“Because I proudly call myself aunt.” So good!”
Aris cried out that she couldn’t bear it anymore and hugged her. The unique cool scent of the sea tickled the tip of her nose.
“When I look at you, I think of my son. “He doesn’t look like me except for his eyes, and I don’t know why.”
She looked into his eyes and smiled slightly.
“Have you found Brother Sif yet?”
Since he was now a direct descendant, he called Sif his older brother.
“I asked you not to look for me for a while, but I’m not the kind of guy who would hide his tracks like this… .”
Aris said it was strange and frowned.
“Did I push too hard?”
“Rolling?”
“I taught him a bit harshly not to go around getting beaten up.”
She scratched the back of her head and stuck her tongue out slightly. It was obvious that she had grown up after being beaten to dust.
“Still, I’m not the kind of guy who’s going to die young. “You’ll find it soon.”
Aris left after saying that if she went out this time, she would even search the entire continent to bring her back.
“Raon!”
As soon as she got out, Balder came up and grabbed her shoulder.
“Why didn’t you call me uncle!”
Balder wrinkled his nose as if he was truly disappointed.
He was someone I understood less than anyone else in this family.
“If I had called my uncle there first, Aris would have pulled out his sword. There… .”
Raon calmly explained the situation at the time to Balder.
“Then it means you took care of me after all!”
“yes. No, that’s… .”
Not at all. Balder was only interpreting the situation in a positive way for himself.
“I liked you from the beginning too! “He’s the coolest person in my family after me!”
Balder said that he really liked her personality and nodded loudly.
“Then I guess I’ll have to give my nephew some pocket money!”
He took out a bag of gold coins and held it out in front of him as if he was sincere. When I lifted it, it was quite heavy.
“Eat well and grow well. “You’re still small!”
Balder told him to grow up to 2m and walked to where the alcohol was piled up.
“2m is too much… .”
Raon sighed and shook his head.
-What on earth is that guy?
Ras let out a sigh of relief as he watched Balder pouring the entire bottle of liquor into his mouth.
-I don’t even know how much is foolish and how much is sincere… .
The guy also blinked his round eyes, saying he was confused.
‘I know.’
Raon laughed and took his back from the wall. As I was trying to approach Silvia, who was surrounded by people, I made eye contact with Karun, who was trying to make her way to the exit.
“Sieghart’s direct lineage… .”
Karun turned to face this way.
“This is a position that should serve as an example for all prosecutors. “Please be more careful with your words and actions from now on.”
He gave me a dry look, saying something I couldn’t tell if it was advice or advice.
“Then you just have to do it like Master Jungmu Jeon.”
Raon looked at Karun’s sunken eyes and sweetened his lips.
‘Let’s see how it turns out?’
This was not an argument, but bait to find out Karun’s true feelings.
As I waited to see how he would react, I made several plans in my head.
“okay. “That will do.”
But Karun calmly nodded and left the banquet hall.
“hmm… .”
Raon pressed his lips down as he watched Karun’s back leaving.
‘What is that person again?’
I expected one of three reactions: to be angry, to be sarcastic, or to ignore me, but I couldn’t even think about acknowledging it and leaving. It was an unexpected reaction.
“I think my father has changed a little.”
Buren approached the left and smiled slightly.
“Change?”
“okay. I can’t express it clearly, but… .”
He nodded, saying that he also teaches swordsmanship these days.
“It’s swordsmanship… .”
Raon quenched his appetite. Karun continued to ignore Burren and pushed him away.
The fact that he was teaching swordsmanship clearly meant that there was a big change of heart.
“Congratulations. “Raon.”
Buren leaned back against the wall and tapped his shoulder.
“Now I’ve caught up to the only part where I was ahead.”
Contrary to his statement that he had caught up, he smiled without wrinkles.
“Do you remember anything? “You came to visit me when I was abandoned by my father and left alone in a separate house.”
Burren looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling and snapped his fingers.
“okay. “Because I can’t forget that stupid face.”
Raon smiled and nodded. She couldn’t forget because, at Tias’s request, she destroyed her outbuilding and dragged Burren out.
“Then do you remember what you said when you destroyed the outbuilding?”
“… … .”
I thought about it, but stayed still.
“You are Sylvia. No, I said my goal was to elevate my aunt as a direct descendant, and I asked which would be more difficult, yours or mine.”
Burren narrowed his eyes as if recalling that time.
“At the time, I thought it was an absolutely impossible goal, but you eventually achieved that impossible goal. Congratulations again.”
He smiled brightly as if he was sincere.
“thanks. however… .”
“don’t worry.”
Buren shook his head with a calm expression.
“I have watched your life and your efforts up close, so how could I give up?”
He balled his right hand into a fist.
“I will gain recognition even if it means defeating my father by force. “I will obtain a heavy weapon and become your strength.”
Burren left the banquet hall, pounding his chest as if to believe him.
Raon smiled softly as he watched Burren walking confidently.
-Is that the color of your eyes? It’s changed so much!
‘That might be the original Burren.’
Trainee Burren Sieghardt, who was obsessed with inferiority complex and stubbornness, no longer existed.
The man who swore to me now was Burren Sieghardt, a swordsman from the Gwangpungdae who would not be discouraged by any hardship.
‘I can’t be satisfied here either.’
It was the most gratifying thing that Sylvia regained her identity and turned her built-up resentment into laughter, but she couldn’t just stop like this.
Even at this very moment, Derus is probably plotting another plot as the head of Robert’s family.
‘We need to reveal his identity as quickly as possible so that he can’t do anything behind his back.’
If I use the current situation and the power I have, I will definitely be able to reveal Derus’ identity.
‘Once the preparations are complete, to the head of the family… .’
-hey. Something very important has happened now!
As I was composing myself, Lars came up next to me.
‘much?’
I swallowed dryly as I looked at Lars, thinking I had missed something.
-My mouth is so stuffy that I’m going to die! Go get some mint chocolate!
The guy waved his hand and told me to get some mint chocolate right away.
“… … .”
Raon closed his eyes tightly.
‘Isn’t that thing going back to sleep?’
* * *
“son. love you… .”
Raon laid down Sylvia on the bed, who was drunk and kept repeating that she loved him, and let out a long sigh.
“Wow, I’m dying.”
Both Sylvia and the maids were drunk, and sweat was dripping down their backs as they brought her to the annex alone.
I thought it would be more convenient to fight a battle with a strong person.
But it didn’t feel bad. Because I knew better than anyone how happy Sylvia and her maids were today.
Raon covered Sylvia with a blanket and went out to the lake outside the annex.
-please! Let’s get some sleep!
Lars rubbed his round eyes, saying he was tired to death.
-I’ll do the training later… .
‘It’s not training.’
Raon shook his head and went up to the lake.
-It’s not training?
‘okay. ‘This is an experiment.’
An experiment to see whether or not Derus’ identity could be revealed. Only when this is done can you use the Wish Power on Glenn.
Gooooo!
Raon used Ring of Fire and Fury at the same time.
The two energies continued to fight like oil and water, but there were many times when they joined forces, so it was not that difficult to connect them.
‘And here…’ .’
It was time to try to capture new characteristics between Ring of Fire and Fury.
A dog!
I heard the sound of a frog next to the lake.
‘Are there all frogs here?’
I thought it was fascinating and was about to continue the experiment, but a strange thought suddenly occurred to me.
‘It’s winter now.’
Even though the temperature inside Sieghart is controlled by magic, winter is colder than anywhere else. It was an environment in which frogs could not exist.
“Ugh!”
When Raon walked away with his eyes wide open, the frog jumped on all fours and followed suit.
“Raon!”
The frog’s mouth opened long, and Merlin’s voice came out.
-Keeeeeeek!
Lars got scared and hid inside his bracelet.
“Huh, Merlin?”
Raon let out a sigh and took a step back.
“long time no see. I have read all the love letters you left. “I engraved every word on my head and body.”
The frog’s eyes turn dark purple. It felt like the hairs on my entire body were standing on end.
“I love you too… .”
“S-stop it.”
As he took a step back with his chin shaking, the voice of Garam, not Merlin, came from the frog’s mouth.
“Garam?”
When Raon blinked and called Garam, the frog opened its mouth once again.
“Raon. I found it!”
