Chapter 3
1 # Stroke Family Manehair (2)
As I was thinking about what exercise to do, Linia came to my room.
“Young master, the rest of the family is gathering for breakfast. Would you like me to tell him that his behavior is inconvenient and that his meals will still be served separately today? ”
I heard from her that Aiden had been lying in bed for a week after being beaten by his father.
But that’s cheating.
It is said to have been hit in the head by the Grand Duke, but so far no aftereffects have been felt. The medicine Linia asked me to take was not great, it was just a nutritional product.
In other words, he was embarrassed by the accident and stuck in his room on purpose.
“It’s okay. I’ll join you today. ”
“Got it. I’ll tell them I’m taking breakfast again today · · · No, you’re participating!? Really?”
“What’s all the fuss about breakfast? ”
“That’s because the young master said so many times. I never wanted to see you again until His Holiness came to me and apologized for the violence. ”
Hey runs away and doesn’t say anything. I mean, what’s the point of being angry at my father for being so hard on him?
“When I think about it, I feel like I’ve done something wrong, so I’ll reconcile with my father, too. ”
“· · Young Master. Excuse me, are you sick? ”
Linia asks with a worried tone. Apparently, she’s in a state of confusion from my actions that is so different from her usual identity. I yelled at him because I didn’t want to explain any more.
“That’s it, just get me there! ”
“I understand.”
Linia, who suffered from the sudden transformation of her attitude, was annoyed. Possessing a jackass makes me feel better about this. I heard he’s a freak even though he drew a few rides.
I followed Linia’s instructions to the restaurant. The path seemed strangely familiar, but it seemed that the body of Aiden remembered the structure of the mansion.
The restaurant had already gathered all the members of the Grand Duke except me.
I looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the top of the class. The stiff body of Aiden speaks. That man with the heavy charm is the Duke of this kingdom, Poden Stroke.
I can’t remember the settings of the novel, but I don’t know much about the current Grand Duke. It is because, like Aiden, he is already dead at this point.
Poden stares at me and kicks his tongue.
“Tsk! I heard you can’t get along with your behavior because you’re uncomfortable, but you’re doing much better in person.” ”
Horse has bones.
From the Grand Duke’s reaction, Linia reported my condition and hit MSG a little too hard.
The rest of you shuddered and sat in an empty seat.
After sitting in a chair, I suddenly looked around, looking at me with contempt for the other brothers and sisters.
There was an exception for Samnam Riddleman, the future Grand Duke and First Writer, who was a grave figure in my appearance.
“· · · Hmm. ”
From the attitude of the family, I can see that this bastard is in a similar position in the house.
I expected it to be roughly like this, but there are no spines.
I finished breakfast without even knowing if the food went into my mouth or into my nose.
The Grand Duke glanced at me with a satisfied look.
“· · Unlike usual dishes, you seem to be aware of your own mistakes. It’s not too late now, so step by step. ”
He maintains a strict attitude, but his gaze is clearly ruined and his patriotism towards him is embedded.
I stared at Poden with a dazed look on my face. It feels strange to be praised for just sitting quietly and eating.
“I have something else to tell you. Come to my office a little before bedtime. ”
Poden led his servants away from the restaurant.
Sitting in a daze staring back at the Grand Duke, someone sent a ridicule to me.
“Ha, you’ve got a cheeky face. It would have been better for the future of the family not to leave the room for the rest of your life. ”
He was a young man who looked like he had a temper. I think this man is the eldest son of the family, Ritten Stroke.
Unlike Aiden, the cause of Ritten’s death was also clearly described in the original article: incurability.
A spare body told me, who had never even dreamed of his future.
“You seem to have noticed that the ambiance is unusual, even with its dull sensibilities, unlike usual silence. But it’s too late. It will soon be over for you and for living under the same roof with the blood of a disgusting foreigner. Haha!”
He smiles cheerfully and leaves the restaurant with the other brothers and sisters. I was left alone, and I was dumbfounded.
“I’m a heretic? ”
That must be the kind of incantation humans use on Demihumans. Why are you suddenly doing this to me?
Thinking about it, there was a corner of straw.
In the original novel, Poden, the father of Ridelle, loved his second wife, Half-Elf, very much. In retrospect of Ritten’s words, Aiden seemed to be the child of his second wife’s birth.
And the fairies were a group that was chucking with the human nations of the northern continent, including the Stroke Kingdom. It seems that the eyes of contempt sent by the brothers were not just due to their usual behavior.
“· · It’s only been a short time since I entered the world of fiction, but I noticed something unexpected. ”
I felt bad as a fan that I had uncovered the backing that wasn’t on the original, but now I’m more concerned about what Ritten said than that.
“· · · Living under the same roof is the end. ”
It sounded meaningful.
Maybe it has something to do with why the Duke paged me separately?
It got complicated in my head, but I didn’t have to worry about it. It was a question that would resolve him naturally if he went to Poden.
3.
In the evening, I went to the Grand Duke’s office.
Poden Stroke, the monarch who ruled the country, was a devoted and calm man. One of his gestures that silently handles piles of paperwork is the noble dignity of a oyster.
“If you’re here, sit down, Aiden. ”
“Yes.”
I sat in a chair like he said. Poden looked at me with a surprised look.
“What’s the matter? ”
“I never expected to see your face again today. I can’t believe you took a step before you asked someone else to bring you here. ”
He did something, but he was surprised that Aiden was here on time.
It’s a terrible thing to think about. No matter how much blood your father draws, the opponent is a prince who rules all nations. And you’re just gonna ignore what he says? Aiden was the only one who could tell the tale of the waves.
Poden clears his throat as he opens his mouth, losing my words.
“Kurham, Aiden. By April 20th next year, you’ll already be 15 years old. It means, by continental law, you’re an adult. ”
“· · · But? ”
“I won’t say it. After your birthday, pack up and head for the Supiol Mountains Guard Front. After a rigorous education, you will serve as a subordinate officer for about three years. ”
A word of truth.
The Grand Duke’s intentions were easy to understand.
I’m going to try to get the son of a bitch to rehabilitate himself in a straight line like an army.
The Supiol Mountains are clearly the border between the Croatian Empire and the republic of Refilod, the upper country of the Stroke Kingdom.
In this time of year, it’s actually not a very dangerous place.
Although there are still occasional local wars, at this point both countries are exhausted because they are struggling moderately.
But I was more shaken than ever. It is because the original history of Eiden was outlined roughly why he died.
Why are you filming a Supiol? It’s where the worshippers of the dinosaurs are gathering next July to start the uprising.
An ambassador called the Supiol Apocalypse.
It is also a fairly important event in my yearbook, which recorded the entire history of the world.
If I had listened to the Grand Duke quietly, I could have been killed or sacrificed by the servants of the dragon cult, who were the masters of two parts of the novel.
Seeing my face rot, Poden wipes out the loving glow and lowers his voice.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about your treatment of serious crimes. Obviously, my loose education policy was wrong. So I’m sending you to the front right now to try to fix your rotten mind. Do you have a problem with that? ”
When Poden said that, he shot at me with a sharp glance. I don’t want to allow objections
The Strokes were famous for their historic swordsmanship, so Poden, the current household owner, is a knight of the highest stature. The wretched man who has spent so many years alone can resist his ferocious hunger. If it was an original ID, he would have been overwhelmed and nodded carelessly.
But…
“No, thanks.”
· · · What? ”
I know the future.
And he was not foolish enough to accept the death he had planned after being frightened of the threat in front of him.
“I told you I don’t want to serve in Supiol, Father. ”
How could I not have expected to come out so confidently, Poden raising his eyebrows in a daze.
“· · · You seem to be mistaken. This isn’t going to be solved by swarming around like it’s always been. Sending you to Supiol has already been decided by the Council of Governors. ”
I mean, if you send him there, your favorite son of a bitch will scream.
Of course, if I had told him that right away, he would have been treated as the nonsense of a pig in distress. We have to convince them differently.
“Starting tomorrow, I will perform the Qi Heart Tactics and Swords of the Stroke Family. Isn’t this better than rolling the battlefield to do one’s part as a family? ”
“Mmm · · ·”
As I threw the rice cake that I was thinking about, Poden asked me a lot of questions.
I wondered what would happen if the persuasion didn’t work out, but fortunately, it’s tempting.
In fact, sending Aiden to Supiol is not an option for the Strokes. He’s out of his mind. If he rolls on the wire, he’ll be fine. However, you will not benefit from elite education provided by the Grand Duke family.
That means that one of the children will become an entirely understaffed surplus.
What if the original ID didn’t have an answer, so he decided to send it to the front, but one day the wretch who didn’t have the answer suddenly opened up?
It was the Duke who brought up Eidenhogna until this was the case. I can expect a little.
Poden questioned the rebellion.
“· · · The stroke family’s mastery and swordsmanship is definitely the vision of a continental oyster. However, you have to practice regularly to see the proper effectiveness. Is that really possible for you? ”
I can barely tell.
Eiden is a common asshole.
However, I can see that you’re already halfway caught.
I respectfully bowed my head and asked.
“Just trust me this once. I will never let you down. ”
“ · · · · · · · · · ”
Poden’s eyes are wide open.
I ask with such politeness that I would never do such a thing for the original wretch, Aiden. Maybe he really hurt his head and changed people overnight.
Poden, who had been silent for a long time, sighed and said,
“· · · Good. I’m going to ask you to trust me one last time because I’ve never seen you beg for anything so grudgingly. ”
A smile spread over my mouth after I received the covenant.
But right after that, the cold water is splashed.
“However, the noble oath is heavy. On your upcoming birthday, we will test the achievement of swordsmanship and cardinal law. If you don’t meet your expectations, you’ll have to reconsider going to Supiol. ”
“If so, how? ”
“You can decide that for yourself. ”
Poden, who said that, looked at me with a big look. If the Grand Duke himself comes out like this without giving an assignment, he may want to test how prepared he is to hear the answer from my mouth.
I opened my mouth with a smile, Pic.
“It looks like I’m going to win my birthday battle against the plains. Is this enough? ”
“Wha · ·! ”
Poden opens his eyes in horror.
