622 – The Bowl That Leaked Outside – 1
It is said that since my visit, there has been a strange rule in Tylglehen. There is a strange rule that knights who do not have work or training schedules must ride around the castle with Teresa on their backs.
I’m sorry that I somehow sprayed poison on Tilglehen, but I just have to hold out until Teresa crawls around on her own. No matter how long it takes, it won’t last half a year, so I believe the drivers will understand.
– Billy hugs Teresa every day. Teresa also prefers her father’s embrace to that of other people.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Even the current and previous head of the family gave up their dignity for the sake of their family, so if a single knight takes pride in it, all he can say is that he will leave the Crasius family.
It’s tyranny in the name of status, but what can you do? This world is a caste society. If you want, you can go to a world where democracy is flourishing.
“Keep a good record of the number of times the drivers played with Teresa. Since this is work outside of work, they should be compensated.”
-Yes. I will record it thoroughly.
On the other hand, if the knights dedicate themselves to our family, as the head of the family, we must pay them in return. Since they were asked to do work other than the standard knight work, it is only right to give them additional compensation. Isn’t the saddest thing in the world a boss’ personal instructions?
So, I had the chief deacon record the number of hours the knights worked. Silver coins or vacations proportional to the number of times will be fine.
“How is Teresa doing?”
– I smile every day thanks to the dedication of the former head of the family and the knights.
“It’s better to hear laughter than a child’s cry. Tell the knights to cheer up a little.”
– Yes, sir.
I ended the contact after the deacon’s answer.
With the dedication of my father and knights, and the thorough records of the deacon, there is nothing to worry about anymore. From now on, it will be enough to go see my face every weekend.
“Thank goodness our Friedrich is quieter than his aunt.”
“Uh?”
When I touched Friedrich’s cheek next to him, he stretched out his arms toward me and started struggling.
It’s amazing. They were born around the same time, but one is too active and the other is too quiet. As if all of Friedrich’s curiosity and temper went to Teresa.
‘Is it because I resemble Rize?’
No, if you think about it that way, who on earth does Teresa resemble? Both father and mother are far from active.
‘It’s a mutation.’
No matter how much I think about it, the only conclusion I can come to is that Teresa is a mutant. I know that my father and mother, as well as my grandfather, had a blunt and cold personality. The same goes for my grandmother, who was thoroughly political.
Even my maternal grandfather and grandmother may be gentle, but they are far from lively.
‘If you have a similar relative, it’s Hyeongyeong-gong.’
But Tere and Hyun Hyeong-gong are not blood relatives. Even if you look through the family tree, no one can figure it out.
‘…What if it’s a mutation?’
Eventually, I put aside the family tree in my head and thought positively.
It is good to have at least one active and cheerful person in your family. That way, when the family gets together, the atmosphere will be bright and not gloomy. To be honest, between me, my parents, and Erich, there is no one who can take the initiative to brighten the mood.
Thinking about that made me smile. Before I knew it, I had a picture of Teresa having a passionate entertainment party in my head.
“Aww-“
“What’s wrong? Should I hug you?”
“Woo!”
While imagining Teresa celebrating the New Year, I came to my senses due to Friedrich’s babbling.
It was just my imagination, but as soon as I saw Theresa’s grandeur her, I almost opened my bag of gold coins as if I was fascinated.
***
I wiped the sweat from my forehead with a towel around my neck. She then burst into laughter as she felt the wind blowing around her whole body.
A body that is moderately heated from training, sweat that releases the heat, and the wind that embraces it all. It is no exaggeration to say that we train ourselves to feel this sensation. The reason for training is to become stronger than I was yesterday, but getting stronger can’t be felt immediately, right?
That’s why you feel the pleasure in your body. A joy that feels like your body is on fire. They are the driving force that moves me forward.
“Thank you for hanging out with me today, Lord Perosa!”
“Wow, it’s an honor…!”
When I thanked Sir Perosa for being my opponent again today, Sir Perosa lay down with a loud reply.
It is truly a beautiful sight. He stood on his own two feet until the very end, and fell down only after the sparring was over. What a true article.
‘There was a gem like this nearby.’
I looked at Lord Perosa lying around with a happy heart.
In fact, he was a little depressed when he graduated from the academy. In my life, I have never met a spa partner as suitable and great as Erich, and without the Academy, I would never meet Erich in my life. I was also afraid that I would have to live a life without friends or enemies for the next few decades.
However, from the day I happened to spar with Sir Perosa, my depression and anxiety disappeared.
‘If you look at it objectively, it’s unreasonable to compare it to Erich.’
First of all, I’m not saying that Sir Perosa is on Erich’s level. Unfortunately, it is safe to say that among my peers, there is no one who has achieved the same level of achievements as me and Erich.
However, Sir Perosa had charms other than his skills. The tenacity of not giving up even though he can’t fight me, the will not to back down no matter how many times he gets blocked, and even the belief that he fights knight against knight when he starts sparring even though the opponent is a prince.
Thanks to this, I liked Sir Perosa. Even though intense sparring might be impossible, pleasant sparring was possible.
‘It will be a good article.’
This good feeling was the joy of meeting a good sparring partner and the happiness of seeing a talented person in the kingdom.
Sir Perosa is the daughter of Sir Villar and a powerful person who became a full-fledged knight at a young age. Over the next 10 years, she will become a pillar of the knights, a skilled and highly skilled knight. She is something like, both as the knight Lyutis and as the prince of Armaine.
“Here, take it.”
“Thank you!”
When I approached Sir Perosa and handed her the water bottle, Sir Perosa quickly got up and took the water bottle.
The reaction was so intense that I burst out laughing. If you were to lie down and receive an item given by the royal family, you would be no different from a traitor, but it is acceptable for a warrior who has just burned his passion to lie down. I have that level of flexibility.
“Now that you’re up, would you like to join us one more time?”
Sir Perosa’s eyes trembled at those words.
Laughter broke out again. Because his body has reached its limit, he can’t even say it, and he can’t even refuse it. What a loyal knight.
“I’m just kidding, I’m just kidding. I’m grateful that you hang out with me every day, but it’s too much to get angry twice.”
Then Perosa’s eyes, which had been trembling at a rapid pace, quieted.
I like him even more because he has an easy-to-understand personality. She seems to like the other person, so she looks at small things positively ─
“Damn you!”
“Hmm?”
A royal servant came running from far away.
What’s going on? I’m sure there’s no one in the palace who doesn’t know that I’m training at this time, right?
“A pilgrimage group from the Holy Church will arrive soon!”
“Oh.”
The next words cleared up the question. They said a pilgrimage group would come to Ladus soon, and that was today.
‘It’s been a while since I saw you.’
Finally, he quickly walked in the direction where the servant was running.
The leader of the pilgrimage group is Tanian. He was a close friend of mine who broke up about a year ago.
“I’ll go first, sir. Please take care of me tomorrow as well.”
“Yes, Your Majesty! I will do my best to learn your sword tomorrow as well!”
Even though the sparring was equal, he said that he was learning from me.
As expected, it is an outstanding and wonderful article.
I quickly changed my clothes and headed to my father, where all the other royals had already gathered.
“Is Lyutis here?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. “I apologize for being late.”
“It’s okay. Your brother just arrived too.”
When the king pointed his chin at his eldest brother, who was the crown prince, the eldest brother looked like he was being treated unfairly.
“Your Majesty. I am busy handling the issue of the troops stationed in the Kingdom of Leon that you handed over to me…”
“The guy who is later than me talks a lot. Do you have more work to do or do I have more work to do?”
“These are truly insulting words.”
The second brother let out a small laugh at the older brother’s scolding.
“Every time I see my older brother, I can’t be more thankful that I’m the second born.”
“You are the type of person who will only come to his senses when this older brother dies from overwork.”
The corner of my mouth twitched as the two older brothers bickered as usual. How can we fight like that every time we meet?
“Everyone, be quiet. His Majesty the King is watching.”
To be exact, there are three including my sister.
A fight of words between the crown prince, the second prince, and the first princess. From an outsider’s perspective, it may seem like the royal family seeking to inherit the throne was fiercely in check, but in reality, it was just a fight between brothers and sisters of similar age.
“Salia! Didn’t you listen too? That damned thing mocked me, the crown prince of Armain!”
“What an insult. This younger brother was showing respect to his older brother who is faithfully carrying out the crown prince’s duties.”
“I told you both to be quiet!”
There was more and more shouting, but no one paid any attention. This was also the same as usual.
“Quiet.”
Although His Majesty the King stopped him,
“If you talk like that, the car gets cold. Are you planning to throw away the car that your mother gave you?”
The reason for the restraint was far from royal dignity and etiquette.
Of course, the most surprising thing is that such a cause works.
‘Is there a royal family like us?’
I burst out laughing when I saw my eldest brother, older brother, and older sister quietly holding their teacups.
Thanks to His Majesty the King and his mother who emphasized family friendship, we were overwhelmingly more harmonious than royal families in history or royal families of other countries. So much so that no royal family will surpass us in the next hundreds of years.
“Leuthys?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just excited to see my close friend after a long time.”
Because my second brother responded to my laughter, he quickly sold Tanian.
It’s something that can’t be helped. ‘When I see my brothers and sisters, I can’t help but laugh.’ If you say that, the argument that was 1 to 1 to 1 will turn into 3 to 1.
That’s scary no matter how I am. It’s better to be 3 to 1 with a sword.
