Episode 22:
I felt stinging gaze.
Even if I tried to ignore it, it was hard to ignore because it was so blatant.
When I turned my head and looked to the side, I saw the knights quickly turning their heads.
‘Did I get off for no reason?’
Han got off the carriage because he was frustrated.
I stayed in the carriage all day.
No matter how easy it was to go, it was embarrassing to stay still without any movent.
However, the sofa in the carriage was not soft.
Since it was just a few layers of leather, it was very hard.
Plus, the mountain path was so rough that my buttocks hurt.
I was worried that my back would beco stiff and I would end up pooping.
So I got off. Since it moved slowly to begin with, there wasn’t much difference between walking and riding a carriage.
I wanted to relax a bit and look at the surrounding scenery.
I was trying to take so ti off.
‘What on earth is this?’
Just by turning my head, I could feel the warm gaze.
However, it was never a good thing.
It was a look in their eyes that deeply resented for being negative.
So even if I tried not to pay attention to it, I couldn’t help but notice it.
Still, I tried to ignore it at first.
I’ve seen looks like that not once or twice.
Because most people in the mansion looked at like that.
Even when I passed by, he felt uncomfortable and his face beca tense just by looking at my face.
I was that kind of person within the count family.
A being that you don’t want to see.
But I thought that perspective would have changed a lot after this banquet.
“why.”
“….”
Even when I spoke, the knights did not respond.
He just glanced at and then turned his head.
Ha… I keep losing my temper.
‘There is no one to stop them.’
Unlike the mansion where the knight commander, the surrounding gaze, and the count are located, there is no one here.
It was , Ellis, and the knight.
So, if you ignore what I say, there is no one to say anything.
‘But there’s no way to beat him.’
Only a day had passed since my conversation with the Count.
Imagine having such an in-depth conversation and now I’m hitting on the drivers.
I’m sure they will go back and curse .
Raymond threw a punch for no reason…
Since I wasn’t there, I can’t make an excuse, and more than anything, I don’t want my reputation to be tarnished because of sothing like that.
And for so reason, I had a feeling that sothing had happened between them and .
Specifically, between Raymond and them.
“Ellis.”
“Yes, master.”
When I got off the carriage, Ellis, who followed , answered politely.
Beatrice Gunn also knows what happened between them and Raymond.
“Do you know why they do that?”
“yes.”
Ellis nodded.
When I looked at her and asked her to tell , she glanced at the articles and opened her mouth.
“Master Raymond…”
The longer she continued, the more my head hurt.
A deep sigh ca out from within, and he raised his hand and stroked his face.
When Raymond was living as a fool.
That ti was nothing short of hell for the knights.
Once a day, Raymond visited the knights.
That never ant anything good.
An insult so severe that Ellis, who was watching Raymond’s atrocities from the side, frowned, ca out of Raymond’s mouth.
When the knights were swinging their swords, people next to them would say that they were a disgrace to their family, saying that no one else could swing a sword like that.
When I was trying to rest for a while, they ca to knowing how I could sleep with such skills. If that’s the case, get out of the knighthood. What kind of knight are you? They
insulted and persecuted , preventing from resting or training.
Among them, the two knights next to were particularly persecuted.
He even received insults that were unthinkable for a knight.
However, it wasn’t like the knights could be angry at Raymond.
As a knight of the family, how could he show his teeth to his master’s son?
I just continued to endure and endure.
What they learned was to ignore Raymond.
After listening to her until the end, I felt deeply upset.
I was angry not at the knights who glared at and ignored , but at Raymond’s past actions that sohow held back.
Just how serious of an idiot he was and what he was thinking when he did such a thing.
‘Even if it were , I wouldn’t like it. Rather, it’s even more amazing that you’re holding back like that.’
If it were , I think they would have beaten up in this place with no one around.
That’s how bad Raymond was.
“Ah… I don’t know.”
I was exhausted just listening to it.
“Let’s go in.”
“….”
Ellis lowered his head.
***
There is no magic gate in the academy. In order to operate a magic gate, a huge amount of mana or magic stones are required for one use.
It requires 50 gold coins to use and more to maintain it.
Even though it was said that the royal family supported it, it was not possible to install a magic gate because of the royal family’s support.
So, although it was cumberso, I had to walk like I do now.
It takes 3 days to get from the Millennium House to the Academy.
If you ride like crazy on horseback, you can get there within two days.
I didn’t really want to go that hard and move.
And it didn’t seem like the knights would follow suit.
You already have a grudge against , so maybe you want to go overboard with what I say?
So, I decided to take my ti and move.
“….”
I was lying on the sofa with my eyes closed. Next to , Ellis was talking about things he had learned before leaving for the academy.
I don’t know how she researched so much information, but it was true that I felt at ease thanks to her.
You don’t have to worry too much when you entrust work to her because she properly researches it every ti you ask her to do sothing.
The content she brought this ti was about Selina.
They said she was preparing to go sowhere, but I couldn’t find the location.
Well, that much was enough.
Because it wouldn’t be a bad thing for her to leave the family at this ti.
Or rather, I should say I’m lucky.
‘That’s not the point.’
That wasn’t what mattered now.
It’s information, but if she’s by my side, I can know it at any ti.
What I feel now is different.
I just closed my eyes.
The clattering carriage and the movent and breathing of the knights on horseback.
It all felt vivid.
They were aware of every movent of the knights in the noisy carriage on the rough forest road.
This cannot happen.
It ca to like a new world.
It was amazing.
As I closed my eyes and relied on my senses of hearing, sll, and touch, I was able to feel things I couldn’t normally feel.
It felt like I was looking at the world in the third person.
“hmm…?”
As I was giving myself over to that sensation, I felt a strange feeling.
An eerie yet creepy feeling.
“young master?”
I reflexively got up and grabbed the sword.
Ellis looked at in confusion at my actions.
He put his index finger to her mouth to silence her and knocked on the wall where the coachman was.
“What’s going on?”
The coachman asked cautiously.
I’m trying to look as humble as possible so as not to offend my feelings.
I didn’t care about that or not and said to the driver.
“Stop.”
“…yes?”
“Stop the carriage.”
“ah. Yes yes!”
Hee hee hee!
At my words, the coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage.
“What is it?”
The knights approached him, frowning at him.
The coachman looked restlessly at and the drivers in turn.
“Don’t co out inside.”
Ellis nodded blankly.
When I got off the carriage, the drivers looked at with frowns.
Not only did I suddenly stop the carriage, but I also pulled out my sword, so you must be embarrassed and bewildered.
‘I guess I didn’t feel it.’
A rich life.
So many eyes staring at us.
If they had felt this, they wouldn’t have reacted like that.
He must have drawn his sword and guarded his surroundings like .
“…!”
The faces of the knights who were looking at blankly changed.
They also sensed my caution.
Although he looked surprised at , he pulled out his sword and gained montum.
A sharp force ca out and spread out in all directions, avoiding Ellis.
An eccentric feat that is impossible without considerable training.
They trained while gritting their teeth after being scolded by Raymond.
And the result was what it is now.
“Oh my gosh, I got caught!”
“Hey. “How did you know?”
One by one, they started coming out of the bushes. All of them were large, rugged-looking n.
“Looking at you, I think you co from a fairly wealthy family. “As if you’re doing the right thing, give everything you have.”
“The knights over there, put down your swords. huh? “Unless you want to die.”
The bandits threaten, laughing frivolously.
A bandit who seed to be a head taller than the other bandits, who were particularly large among large n, placed the ax he was holding on the ground loudly.
thud!
How heavy is it? I thought I put it down lightly, but it felt like the ground was shaking.
The energy radiating from that body was also formidable.
‘It’s more than I thought.’
I knew that bandits were grouped together, but I had no idea there were this many.
The number of bandits surrounding the carriage and party was at least thirty or more.
Moreover, the biggest bandit had a force that even knights found difficult to deal with.
If that guy attacks with that many people, even the lives of the knights cannot be guaranteed.
Perhaps that was why the knights seed to hesitate slightly.
He looked at them, picked his ears, and said.
“Where does the dog bark? “You’re talking dirty.”
My words had a huge impact. The crowd suddenly beca quiet.
“What now?”
The shy-looking guy stuttered.
Looks very embarrassed.
I gave him a sour look.
“No, not even a dog can do it. “It resembles goblin poop.”
“This profit!”
The guy’s face turned red.
No, it wasn’t just him. The faces of the bandits around him turned red and they flinched as if they were about to attack him at any mont.
“Huh… The young guy has quite the mouth.”
The huge bandit opens his mouth. At those words, the bandits around them beca quiet.
Just by looking at it, one could tell what his position was among the bandits.
“I don’t think you know who I am. “I am Leonard!”
“omg!”
“Why the bloody ax…!”
The knights are astonished by his shout.
I was a little surprised too.
Leonard was a character that appeared in the original work as well.
As an extra who plays the main character. Still, it is notorious among rchants and has such strong inaction that even knights find it difficult to deal with.
Even if you didn’t attack the main character, you could survive if you whined.
It was clear that we couldn’t win with our full strength, but strangely it didn’t seem like we would lose.
Is it because I captured the Orc Warrior?
“I don’t think you know either?”
“what?”
“You’re going to die anyway, so you don’t need to know my na.”
The bandits burst out laughing at my words.
The drivers looked at like I was crazy.
The bandits’ laughter stopped and the bandit leader spoke.
“I heard you don’t know how scary the stupid goblin ogre is.”
“Why are you talking so long? Are you scared?”
“this guy!”
The bandit leader ca running screaming.
The ground shook.
The knights rushed to , but the guy’s ax swung at my head faster than them.
A situation where no one suspects my death.
Sigh.
The sword I held flashed and swung like a thunderbolt.
Tuk degurur.
The head of the bandit leader fell to the ground and his headless body fell next to .
There was silence.
He swung his sword, brushed off the blood, and spoke to the knights.
“Why are you not doing your job?”
I smiled and looked at the knights.
