Return(2)

Harang, who returned to Nokbaek Palace after a long time, felt that this place was somehow unfamiliar.

‘I’ll have to spend almost half my life here, but it’s so awkward.’

I spent my childhood in the White Night Castle, and relatively recently I spent most of my time in Arniel. Most of the rest of my time was spent staying abroad, so it was largely because I did not stay long enough to get used to the Green and White Palace.

‘… … No, more than that.’

Harang slowly looked around the Green and White Palace with an absurd expression.

It was not the Green and White Palace he remembered from a year ago.

At that time, Harang did not like the medieval-style interior, so he instructed his maid Soi-rin to decorate it in a modern style. She accomplished the feat of completing the mission in just one month.

“Master, congratulations on your safe return!”

The maid, Soirin, welcomed Harang with an expression that almost made her cry. Not only was she there, but she was also accompanied by five or six maids, all of whom had faces I had never seen before.

“It’s been a while, Soirin. however… … “Did you do all this?”

“Oh, that’s right. “Master said he likes this kind of atmosphere, so he decorated the Green and White Palace until he came back.”

One year since Harang left the palace.

Even while her master was missing, Soirin did not stop and diligently decorated the Green and White Palace. So that the master who will return someday will be satisfied.

“Ho, do you not like it? I did something pointless… … .”

“no. I really like it. “It’s exactly what I wanted, the perfect interior.”

Harang was impressed by Soirin’s skill in completely transforming the Nokbaek Palace into a modern one. But there was more to her than that.

It was Soirin’s belief that even though Harang went missing, she did not stop taking care of the Green White Palace with the thought that he would return someday.

Since my relationship with her started from distrust, I was thinking that it might not develop into a very deep relationship.

Not at all.

Soirin… … It occurred to her that she might be more trustworthy than Harang thought.

“It seems like there are more soldiers in the palace.”

“Oh, that’s right. “When you are away from the palace for a long period of time, the commander of the Black Yard dispatched soldiers, saying that the security here might be lax.”

The Obsidian leader, Maltyren, was an intelligence agent who received help at the Harana Canal. We had a good relationship with him since that day, but I never thought he would do something like this.

‘… … Even when I was gone, there were people who waited for me to come back.’

Feeling in love with these people is something that cannot be helped if you are born as a human being.

“I must say thank you.”

After that, Harang finished taking a shower, dressed fairly neatly, and headed straight to the Ministry of Finance and Economy.

“You’re back, you brat!!”

Malic, the financial manager of the Green and White Palace, welcomed Harang with tears pouring down his face. When he heard that Harang, the only one who recognized his abilities and entrusted him to him, was missing, Malick’s world almost collapsed.

However, he also desperately managed the Green and White Palace, believing that Harang would definitely return, and Mullick’s ability may have played a role in the reason why Soirin was able to decorate the palace as splendidly as she wanted.

Now, there were quite a few managers in the Ministry of Finance and Economy, perhaps because Malick brought in his own subordinates. They were lowering their heads with nervous expressions, but the two men standing at the front caught my eye.

“Bill, Agil.”

When their names were called, they hurriedly raised their heads and answered.

“yep!!”

“Did you call me!”

“I thought you wouldn’t be able to endure while I was gone and would run away… … .”

They joined the Financial Management Department together with Mullick, but their mindset was poor, and they were people whom Harang had branded in his mind as ‘ruined people’.

After Harang gave harsh advice to them, who trusted their family and connections and complained, they did not show much interest.

Although they were not given proper positions, it was thought that they would soon quit, but it was surprising that they were still holding on while Harang was missing.

“Of course we believe that you will come back! “I supported Director Mullick diligently!”

“Sure! “I can’t even imagine you disappearing from the world.”

“oh… … .”

Whether what they said was true or not, it didn’t really matter.

However, the only thing that made Harang think highly of them was that their mindset and perseverance were clearly different compared to before.

If things can change like that, there is definitely a possibility of further progress in the future.

There seemed to be no harm in leaving it in the palace.

“… … Hmm, okay. “Thank you for waiting.”

“no!! “Of course!”

“What did you guys say your major was?”

“Hey, Agil! Completed the Department of General Social Management at Royal University! “I am confident in managing and managing people!”

“Bill, what about you? “I heard she majored in macroeconomics.”

“I’m honored that you remember! In addition, I completed both general social management, German language and literature, and resource finance!”

“That’s amazing. “A double major would be extremely difficult.”

Harang was also a little surprised. At that level, you could truly call them elite.

“You guys are all seniors, but you still can’t do the same things as your juniors. “I will entrust you with business with ‘Mule Magic Tower’ later, so make sure you study enough about magic.”

“… … !!”

When told that they would be given some position, the two men opened their eyes wide and bent their waists at a right angle.

“Thank you, Master!!!”

After giving various instructions to Malick, Harang immediately left the Green and White Palace.

A dinner party for my immediate third-generation relatives would be held soon, so I had to hurry.

* * *

Calambrinho Castle, Grand Hall.

Harang was filled with new emotions when he came to the Grand Hall again after a year.

At that time, I had just been assigned a mission to Arniello… … .

Gugugugugugung-!!

When the giant stone statue, which was approximately 10 meters in height, moved and pulled open the iron door, the huge door opened and the inside was revealed.

Harang slowly entered the banquet hall.

No one had yet come to the huge round dining table that could accommodate more than 20 people. After Harang sat down in a suitable place, another blood relative entered.

It was Cheren Pol Kaladan, a silver-haired girl two years older than Harang.

“… … long time no see?”

Cheren smiled awkwardly and approached him. It was my first time seeing her since the White Night Castle, so I was very happy to see her.

“I knew you weren’t the kind of person who would go somewhere and die easily. “Your complexion looks better than when I saw you before.”

“Well, I’m doing well. By the way, did Baek Ya-seong graduate?”

She grinned.

“of course. “I have completed my mission to graduate from the White Night Castle, and today I will finally receive my first mission as a Foldon Knight.”

“It’s fast… … .”

Considering that she is currently seventeen, it was clear that she graduated faster than average. She usually graduated from Midnight Castle when she was nineteen.

“All the 97 riders at Wonseok Training Center are doing well. “Every single one of them passed and moved up.”

“Every person? There’s no way that’s possible. “It’s a structure where there are always losers, right?”

“It was like that. But after we graduated, instructor Lauren Chagen changed the policy. “I thought it would be a waste to pass up talented children, so I arbitrarily passed them all, but I guess her grandfather gave his permission.”

“… … .”

Kaladun’s traditions that had been solidified for a long time were slowly changing. She said that Cheren can be proud because it all started with Harang.

“The 97th class kids said they miss you.”

“I… … ?”

“If you go ahead and follow behind, you have definitely trained, but it is unfortunate that there is no pillar. Still, I guess it motivates me every time I hear news of you doing amazing things in the outside world. You should have seen the look on their faces when they told you you were missing… … .”

Harang was heartbroken in many ways.

Although he had been with them for several years, he had no idea that they were thinking about him that much because he was very sociable and did not talk much.

While Cheren and Harang were talking, the immediate third-generation blood relatives gathered one by one.

“Nice to meet you, Haran!”

Eleven blood relatives gathered, including Arihil, who approached with her pink hair waving and greeted us warmly. It was the first time for Harang to see so many people gathered together at once.

The blood relatives were naturally divided into four factions and took their seats.

Blood relatives living in the Red and White Palace, Scarlet and White Palace, Yellow and White Palaces, and Blue and White Palace, respectively, gathered together and sat together.

Of course, Harang was alone.

This was because he lived alone in the Green White Palace.

There was no cordial conversation between family members.

Everyone remained silent and glared at each other.

Because they were in a position where they could kill each other if they were to be upset, they did not even meet separately in private settings. This meant that if it weren’t for a place like this, we wouldn’t have to meet each other again.

Unusually, most of the hostility was directed at Harang. In particular, Kaidel, who lived in the Blue and White Palace, and Kyle, who lived in the Red and White Palace, glared at Harang as if he were going to kill him.

It was not like Harang would miss that gaze.

After the last life-or-death situation, Kyle was officially lower in rank than Harang, so he was able to talk to him comfortably.

“Brother Kyle. You have a lot of scars on your face. “How was your last mission?”

“… … !”

Some time ago, Kyle dared to express his dissatisfaction with the head of the family, saying that he was giving Harang a ‘secret mission’.

Then Kal-El gave him a chance.

If you complete a mission without using any sword skills, I will treat you the same as Harang and give you the same classified mission.

Harang asked because he had no way of knowing what happened to Kyle after that day.

“Phew.”

“Mission, mission. “Giggle.”

Laughter erupted from elsewhere.

It was not a mockery directed at Harang. Those were ridicules aimed entirely at Kyle.

“… … Damn you, you bastard. “You asked this knowingly, right?”

Kyle growled with his face turning bright red, but it was unfair to Harang.

“I did it because I really didn’t know… … .”

“What happened?”

Cheren, who was sitting relatively nearby, spoke while elegantly brushing her silver hair back.

“I might be taken hostage by the enemies, or my sword might be taken away.”

“… … what?”

Having the sword taken away was an absolute disgrace as a swordsman and a knight.

“Did you find it again?”

When Harang, who knew that Kyle’s sword was very valuable, asked, Cheren smiled and shook his head.

“I went to get it back, but it broke again, right?”

In order to rightfully return a sword that was stolen in a duel, it had to be brought back by fighting a duel in the same way.

In the first place, if the opponent who won the duel took the sword without taking his life, it was the same as showing mercy.

In this case, I couldn’t even name Kaladun. The family does not provide help with the stolen sword. Because it was the family’s policy to fight solely for honor as a knight and achieve it.

In other words, the current Kyle has no favorite sword.

This means that you are using a normal sword supplied by your family.

There will be no one here who does not know how shameful this is for a Foldon Knight.

“Damn… … .”

Kyle glared at Cheren and Harang as if they were going to kill him, then lowered his head. Not only is there nothing he can do here, but didn’t he get into an argument with Harang in the grand hall around this time last year and the whole thing broke down?

As the trauma from that time came back, his temper naturally died.

‘It’s a bit pitiful.’

While Harang was thinking this, the door on the other side of the grand hall began to open with a heavy sound.

All of the immediate third-generation blood relatives, who had naturally kept their mouths shut and remained silent, stood up.

Duke Kal-El Paul Kaladan slowly approached the table and took in the faces of his blood relatives one by one. Then, looking at Harang’s face one last time, he smiled and said:

“Today, we held a dinner party to commemorate our youngest grandchild’s successful completion of an important mission treated by the family and his return to retrieve ‘Estelle’ from the magical world. “Everyone, please congratulate me with joy.”

match! match! match… .

The blood relatives clapped with expressions of deep displeasure. Has the matriarch ever congratulated someone on completing a mission? Not at all.

This was the first time something like this had happened, and the blood relatives were very upset that the youngest grandchild, who was the most unlucky of all, had taken it for the first time.

Wouldn’t Duke Kal-El not know how they feel?

The older blood relatives had already sensed the duke’s intentions and tried to put on a happy expression.

There has never been a case like this before, but now that this is the first case, it was an unspoken hint that it will continue to happen in the future.

‘Anytime, you too, make achievements. Then you will be praised!’

The Caladern family was very certain of being praised for their achievements. Creating an event like this and giving honor to a person to the point of making other blood relatives jealous was also part of the praise, but of course, the real person was different.

“Thanks to the youngest grandchild’s recovery of Estelle, the family’s prestige has increased. Even now, the unlucky Ainglass guys keep contacting me, so I don’t have to say anything to know how great the youngest’s achievements are. Therefore, I have no choice but to reward him accordingly.”

Duke Kal-El looked into Harang’s eyes and spoke as if he was happy.

“My youngest grandchild. “I will allow you to take the one piece of equipment you want from ‘Caladelia’.”

“… … !!”

The blood relatives’ eyes widened at Duke Kal-El’s shocking declaration.

Caladelia, Caladern’s treasure trove.

The place, which only the head of Caladern can enter, was filled with all kinds of treasures and famous equipment in the world, but it was said that it was usually very difficult to receive one piece of equipment after passing the ‘proof ceremony’ and receive another piece of equipment. It was known.

As of right now, aren’t the only people who were able to open Caladelia’s warehouse a second time the eldest grandson Hiron and the third grandson Garaen?

Considering that they had raised the family’s status tremendously through countless missions and wars, and barely received one more, it was a passage that showed how shocking it was for them to say that they would open Caladelia to Harang at the age of only fifteen.

“majesty.”

“Okay, tell me.”

“If it’s not rude, may I ask for something else instead of Caladelia’s equipment as a reward?”

“… … !!”

In a way, the fact that all of the blood relatives lost their breath at Harang’s explosive remarks can be seen as a natural phenomenon.
