Chapter 80 – 09. Graduation and Return
“…The same thing happened earlier.”
“…”
“…”
At Siwoo’s words, Elaine and Hildear put on blank faces with their mouths open.
The coincidence that occurred just an hour after they had fallen was a very embarrassing subject.
In particular, compared to Elaine, Hildear felt a lot of embarrassment.
I could never have thought that my mother and Siu had already met.
It was a scheduled event as he returned to Palania, but he hadn’t prepared his mind yet. Of course, it wasn’t because of the stupid things Siwoo said about how his daughter ate well or that it was delicious.
‘Ugh, does mother really think so… ?’
Siwoo is the man he loves. He is his own master and lord at the same time.
And the Rubelstone family was a family of knights who guarded the royal family of the Kingdom of Palania for generations.
He served the king for several generations and took pride in being a knight of the Royal Guard. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel ashamed of not being able to join the Guard, but he grew up hearing that he had to become a Knight of the Guard.
As much as that, the family of knights loyal to the royal family was Rubel Stone.
However, as her eldest daughter, who should inherit her family, she serves a master other than the royal family.
Hildear thought carefully that even if it was a male hero who would lead the kingdom to revival, her mother would not hate it.
“Hilde.”
“…”
“Hilde?”
“…Yes? Ah, yes! Siwoo-nim!”
She is lost in deep thoughts and then gets lost at Siwoo’s call.
“Hilde’s mother. You seem like a nice person?”
“Ah, that’s right…?”
Good person
The evaluation that came out of Siwoo’s mouth gave her mixed feelings.
Even though the two had already met, Hildear couldn’t completely shake off her anxiety.
“Hmm.”
Although Siu did not know what Hildear was thinking, her anxiety was revealed in her expression, albeit vaguely. Siu, who became more able to feel her feelings after having a relationship with her own knight, noticed that.
‘Is there something in conflict with my mother?’
It’s not just something that can’t happen.
It is common for parents and children to have conflicts for various reasons, and it is the same in this world.
“You should be in the Guards building by now, right?”
“…Mom, are you talking?”
“Yes. Let’s go together for a while.”
“Yes?!”
Hildear was taken aback by his words.
Siu smiled and got up from his seat, holding her hand.
“I will be back.”
“Yes, see you later. Siwoo-nim.”
Siwoo was about to leave her room with Hilde Ar, but suddenly remembered that this was his room, not Elaine’s, and turned his head. At the end of his gaze, he saw a pink-haired saintess who was throwing herself on the bed and hugging a pillow.
“…”
“Huh, heuh… Haa♥ It’s light, but the smell of Siwoo…♥”
“Eh, Miss Elaine?”
Hildeard also found it and awkwardly called her by adding her title after her name.
“Huh?! That, ah, you haven’t left yet…”
“…Do it in moderation.”
“Yes? Ah… Four♥”
“Let’s go, Hilde.”
“Yes…”
Leaving behind the saintess sniffing with her face buried in her pillow again, the two of them headed for the Royal Guard building.
The Royal Guard building located on the outskirts of the royal castle was equipped with very large-scale facilities, as if to prove that they were the most elite of the Kingdom of Palania. The building itself is large, and it can be seen that it is receiving various support such as a gymnasium and training facilities in the knights’ quarters.
Siwoo also used to train here to improve his physical strength and awaken his magical powers. There is no reason. It was simply because the gymnasium in the royal castle was only in the Royal Guard building.
“It’s been half a year here, too. Something feels strange.”
“You feel strange?”
“Yeah. It’s familiar, but is it awkward?”
“Ah… That’s right. I think I know what you mean.”
Hildear nodded her head in agreement with his words.
Only half a year.
However, it was Hildear who had spent quite a long time in the Royal Guard building. He became a knight when he was young and joined the Guard at a young age. Since then, he only goes down to his hometown estate once or twice a year and has always been here.
Then, he went to the Glazer Empire far away, not to another land in the kingdom. The overall facilities and facilities were somewhat better at the warrior training center, but Hildear still liked this place better.
‘But what’s a little awkward? Whoops. Siu-nim must feel the same way, right? … Huh? But Siu-nim hasn’t been here for less than a week?’
As she was tilting her head at the question that came to her belatedly, Siu called her.
“What are you doing? Let’s go quickly.”
“Ah yes.”
Hildear seemed to be walking properly, but with a slightly hesitant posture.
Guard captain Earl Rubelstone, who was watching the knights in training through the window in the Guards Commander’s Office located on the 4th floor of the building, accidentally discovered the scene. Many complex and subtle emotions came to her mother’s face.
‘It doesn’t show much, but it’s a strange gait. There’s no way he’s learned strange steps at the training camp.’
There were occasional
Knights who learn how to walk from warriors or warriors from the world of Moorim.
Although it was quite a useful skill, it was less useful for knights belonging to the knights who often had to match the sum of knights. Maybe if everyone learned together, it was only after learning and getting used to it alone that the consensus was bound to go wrong at an important moment.
‘Because the eldest child is not an idiot. Then finally…’
The count’s face was slightly heated.
It was because of one assumption that came to my mind.
When a woman who lost her virginity only a few hours ago walks erratically, that is all she really suspects. The aftereffects of losing her hymen. Thinking about it made me feel something strange.
‘That child is a knight. It won’t be too difficult to walk. But walking like that…’
I’ve heard of it.
If you accept something too big into your body and have sex intensely, it becomes like that because of the gap for the empty seat. It wasn’t necessarily the taller men, but the same for the narrower women.
While Count Rubelstone was lost in thought, he heard a knock behind him.
Smart.
“Excuse me. Mother-in-law… No, Captain of the Royal Guard. These are the brave Siu Han and Hildear Rubelstone. May I go in?”
‘Now, now, mother-in-law!?’
It was the count who had expected them to come up from the moment she looked through the window, but she was taken aback, not knowing that Siu could use words like a mother-in-law. As if she had made a mistake, she changed her words halfway through, but she couldn’t help thinking that it was intentional.
“Umm… De, come in.”
“Then excuse me.”
Click, and I hear the doorknob turning.
Through the crack in the open door, a tall, handsome man with a friendly smile enters first.
She wasn’t the type to look at men’s looks, but Siu was quite her taste. He wasn’t a great handsome man, but rather, because of that, he developed a sense of familiarity and was less burdensome to approach. Of course, even if it’s not his appearance, his specs are huge.
‘… They say tastes are usually genetic.’
It just seemed like something useless.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to greet you properly. As her lord and man, I haven’t seen her for half a year and I’ve been with her.”
That’s a proper greeting.
A smile crept across Count Rubelstone’s face.
It wasn’t that he was delighted with the greeting itself, but that he liked Siwoo’s basic personality and manners. The Count had seen many times the warriors who did not protect even though it might seem obvious.
He was very embarrassed when he heard that her eldest daughter had committed a great rudeness and sin against a candidate for bravery, and that he had to serve the candidate because of that. She was the one she knew the story before, but didn’t know her details.
I understood her situation, but I couldn’t help but worry about her daughter as she is her mother. The evaluations around me weren’t bad, but it’s not as good as seeing and evaluating it in person. However, as the head of the royal guard, it was difficult for him to vacate the castle and go to the training center.
6 months of waiting.
The first meeting was very unique.
‘It’s not something I can say, though.’
Unbeknownst to Siu, among the minor traditions of this world is the tradition of a married woman giving thanks to the man’s parents and complimenting her husband. Although it differs slightly from region to region, there are places that praise the night work.
It was just that he was embarrassed that he had said such a thing from the very beginning, but Count Rubelstone did not find him strange. Rather, he was likable for his polite appearance as he is now.
“I was worried a lot, but I’m really glad that my daughter has met a nice person. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to say that you’re a nice person earlier. It’s just…”
“I understand. As a mother, you can’t help but worry about your daughter.”
“That’s right. Whoa. It feels strange. Originally, this should have been the other way around.”
Even though I only have two daughters, I somehow felt like I had a son.
I thought that Earl Rubelstone was indeed a male hero from another world.
There are numerous worlds in which various things, such as the role of gender and sexual desire, are reversed from this world.
She was still in her 40s, and her warriors had appeared since she was born, and by the time she reached her age, a lot had been said about her warriors, but her count was still awkward. She has spent most of her life in the domain and the royal castle, and the Kingdom of Palania is a weak country of warriors.
“I… Mother.”
At that time, Hildear cautiously called the Count.
“Yes. What’s going on?”
“Are you… Angry, angry?”
“Woe? Me? Why?”
The Count is confused because he does not know the English language.
Hildear was taken aback by the unexpectedly benign response.
She thought she’d hear at least one, but her mother seemed very happy.
Relieved by this, Hildeard let out a sigh of relief and eased her stiff expression. As she relaxed, she laughed. Until Earl Rubelstone opens his mouth again.
“I’m not angry, but as a mother and as a former sergeant in the Royal Guard, a few words of admonition will suffice.”
“Eh… Yes? Ah? Uh, mother?”
Hildear, whose body began to stiffen instead of her expression.
In her eyes, the Count’s features were closer to those of a Guardsman than her mother’s.
“Hero, I’m sorry, but for a while…”
“Oh, it’s okay. It’s normal for parents to nag their children. As a former boss, of course. I’m going to be out for a while.”
“Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
“That’s me. And the captain of the guards?”
“Yes, warrior.”
“Before I’m a hero, I’m Hilde’s man, so I’d like you to speak more comfortably.”
Count Rubelstone smiled softly.
“Thank you. It’s more private than public right now, um. Let’s do that.”
“Ha ha. Much better.”
Rather than being comfortable, it felt like the hard way of speaking had been relaxed, but Siwoo was satisfied with that alone.
Count Rubel Stone in this world is very different in appearance from before his return. I don’t know if the roles of his husband and wife have changed, or if the count had been born as a woman, he might have looked like this, but his appearance was very different, so there was little resistance.
‘But the personality is similar. It must be proof that he likes me a lot just because he speaks so easily.’
With that thought in mind, Siu happily watched Hildear, who was being scolded by her mother.
