Qualities of a King (2)
Duke Kal-el, who sent Harang back, next called Arihil Pol Caladorn.
She was Kal-El’s third granddaughter, whom he especially cherished. She showed excellent sense and talent for the sword from a young age, so compared to his other children, she tended to listen to him the most.
Therefore, when Arihil said that he had something to say individually regarding the mission, he was willing to give his time.
“Huh, where did you find this?”
The third granddaughter did not betray Duke Kal-El’s trust. The item she captured during her mission was a mask imbued with special magic.
This mask, engraved with a red magic circle that looked like a crack in a spider’s web, was also a symbol that the Caladern family could not ignore.
“At the Harana Canal… … “When the youngest was defeating the warlock, I thought there must be a group looking after the warlock and the archbishop, so I searched the area and found it.”
While stroking his beard, Kal-El asked Taran, the butler standing behind him.
“What do you think?”
“It seems that ‘the group’ that was thought to have been completely eradicated is squirming like a bug.”
Taran looked at the mask with genuine disgust.
“Drying waste seeds requires as much trouble and effort as exterminating insects. “I think it was the mistake of my ancestors who decided that there was no need to invest much time in people of insignificant value.”
Taran hated that group so much that he blamed his father.
How many children’s dreams, opportunities, and talents were taken away by hunting only blood relatives of prestigious families.
Among them, there would have been a child who would later become a sword to protect the world, a hero who would realize justice, and a guardian who would restore world order.
A group of people who were born into a prestigious family and attacked their blood relatives from the beginning because they were jealous of them running towards the light… … ‘Del Fael’.
They created an uproar around the world 50 years ago by taking the grandiose meaning, also known as ‘the star-dropper’ in the ancient language, as their meaning, but that quickly faded away when Kal-El Paul Kaladan, who was growing up as a hero at the time, came forward.
When Kal-El, who had spent his entire life training as a sword in the principality, realized that his young relatives had seen the blood, he rose up alone with a sword and set out for the world, and within a few years, he completely destroyed Del Fael.
Duke Kal-El spent several more years trying to stop Del Fael’s seed without leaving a single person behind.
Taran’s father, who was the head of Kaladan at the time, said:
‘Master Kal-El. You don’t have time to rush forward and pursue your great dreams. ‘Don’t invest your valuable time in trivial matters.’
Therefore, Duke Kal-El was known to have entrusted the handling of the remnants of Del Fael to another family and suddenly returned to work for the family.
Looking back now, it was thanks to that incident that Duke Kal-El could exist today, but Taran thought that if he went back to that time, he would somehow eradicate Del Fael’s group.
“The past is the past. “Now think about the present.”
“of course.”
Taran closed his eyes.
50 years since the destruction of Del Fael.
The remnants swelled their power, and before they knew it, they had grown to the point where they signed contracts with not only warlocks but also guardians.
Although he is still active in the shadows, there will surely come a moment in the near future when he cannot sit idly by.
‘… … What if we target young blood relatives who are growing up like we did back then?’
Although it is not yet known to the public, Taran thinks there is a talent who will emerge as the brightest star in the near future.
I thought it was none other than Master Harang of Kaladan.
‘If they find out about your existence… … .’
someday.
If Harang becomes widely known as a rising star in the world.
So if it becomes a symbol of a star.
Wouldn’t this be the perfect target for Del Fael?
“majesty. “I have something important to tell you.”
“I think I know what you’re thinking. “Granddaughter, go back.”
Arihil bowed politely and then walked away, and Taran explained his thoughts to Kal-El for a long time.
Taran’s conclusion was simple.
“You must protect the master.”
But Kal-El shook his head.
Even if they one day find out about Harang’s existence and attempt to take his life, I thought that protecting him from within the family would not be the best, but rather the lesser evil.
“If you wrap the light tightly and hide it because you are afraid of those who drop the shining star, you will even forsake the opportunity to rise.”
That was Duke Kal-El’s conclusion.
Although Taran, the head of the house, was worried about Harang, he had to take a step back.
‘By the time they notice you, you will have already flown so high that they can’t drop you, and you will have to shine dazzling and brighter than anyone else… … .’
* * *
Meanwhile, Harang finished all his business with Duke Kal-El and left the Grand Hall.
He was suffering from severe dizziness.
“… … eww.”
Immediately after leaving the main gate, Harang could not bear the dizziness and leaned his arm against the pillar. Only then did he realize that he was drenched in cold sweat.
My back was already damp, the air was cool, and my head felt heavy as if a heavy stone had landed on it.
‘Is this a side effect of using too much 4-star magic? … .’
I still don’t fully understand the structure of the 4-star magic, and my body hasn’t grown enough to handle the 4 circles.
However, since I used 4-star magic and even Mythical Advent, there was bound to be a huge burden.
I didn’t want to appear weak when talking to Duke Kal-El, so I tried my best to endure it, but as my concentration of mental power loosened, I reached my limit.
‘… … ‘If you go back, take a shower and rest, you’ll be fine.’
I wipe away the cold sweat and walk away,
Startle!
When he suddenly felt an uneasy sensation of goosebumps spreading through the wind, Harang quickly raised his left arm.
Kyaang!!
“Ugh… … !”
After struggling to overcome the shock and take a step back, I heard a voice.
It was Kyle.
“Ha, wow… … “You were speaking well earlier, right?”
“… … “Brother Kyle.”
Kyle adjusted his clothes and tilted his head to either side.
“Yes, it’s my brother. What you ignored. He was talking so proudly about his mouth being open? ok?”
“So you waited until I finished my interview with my grandfather and then attacked you? hmm… … .”
When Harang stood up and said that, Kyle’s pride was hurt for a moment, but he made an effort to maintain a confident attitude.
Anyway, the guy suffered a lot of damage from the punch just now, so there’s nothing he can do other than bluff.
‘… … what?’
However, something is strange. Harang stands up better than expected.
“older brother. You hit it with a lot of sincerity. however… … .”
Harang smiled softly.
“Your right arm, are you okay?”
“… … ! “Ugh!”
Kyle grabbed his right arm as he felt pain later. Judging by her red, swollen appearance, it appears that her bones were properly broken.
“Uh, how… … ?”
The punch was obviously so fast that he couldn’t react, so it must have been a pretty big blow to Harang, who had no weapon and couldn’t use magic.
So why is he fine and his right arm is broken?
“Whoa.”
Harang caressed the bracelet on his left wrist.
‘Arihil’s gifts are always helpful.’
Orang’s touch. An ancient artifact that can unleash a 6-star shield once a month. In this way, it could be quite useful in situations where it seemed impossible to prepare a defensive posture.
Kyle gritted his teeth as he realized why he had taken a bigger hit.
“… … Ha, can you call yourself a prosecutor with the help of those tools?”
“Wouldn’t it be more like a brother attacking his younger brother?”
“This bastard… … If his right arm is broken, he can fight with his left hand. Did you do that earlier?? I’m weaker than you… … “Prove it, you cheeky younger brother!”
As expected, it seems like those words really broke my heart. But what can you do? Harang only told the truth.
“Whoa… … .”
Harang sighed, and sincerely wanted to change Kyle’s habits, but it was difficult to do so now that he had run out of energy. I slightly regretted using too much 4-star magic earlier, but I was satisfied that I was able to show Kal-El a strong performance.
“older brother. “I’m giving this advice sincerely.”
“… … what?”
As Harang swept his hair behind his shoulder and calmed his gaze, Kyle twitched his eyebrows in slight embarrassment.
‘Well, what is it? This bastard… … ‘Why is the atmosphere like this?’
A sharp, coldly forged life.
Kyle swallowed dryly without realizing it and realized that he was nervous, and his head felt hot.
“Quit at that point, quietly accept your situation and live.”
Harang did not want to hurt Kyle’s body and mind any more.
I feel sorry for my proud brother, but I thought life was more important than pride.
“what… … ?”
“By the way, Brother Kyle has a sister, Naridel.”
Harang slowly approached Kyle. She was obviously short and tall, but she was just a child, but Kyle, who could not accept her gaze, unknowingly backed away from her.
“I can just hide in Naridel’s arms. I really envy you because I have nowhere to run to. “I am incredibly lucky to be able to hide from a brother who is stronger than me.”
Harang, who was staring straight into Kyle’s eyes, brought his face close to Kyle’s ear and whispered.
“If you don’t want to die, hide in your sister’s shadow and live like a dead rat. “That’s my advice for you, brother.”
Wow… … .
A cold wind blows.
Kyle looked back and realized that the weight of Harang, who had been placing his hand on his shoulder, had disappeared.
The boy, who was small but bigger than a giant, had already disappeared a long time ago.
Nevertheless, the presence remained so strong that Kyle was unable to move for a long time.
Kyle, sweating coldly, walked up to a nearby pillar and rested his arms on it, trying to understand what he had just experienced.
My mind couldn’t quite accept the situation, but fear was clearly engraved in my heart.
He didn’t know why, but after being completely defeated by Harang in a duel the other day, his instincts as a prey were completely branded on his chest!
“I-I…” … .”
“Little brother? “What are you doing here?”
“… … !!”
Kyle slowly turned his head at the voice that was as beautiful as an oriole’s, but more murderous than anything else. There, the woman, with her navy blue hair, just like her own, neatly braided on one side, was smiling at her.
The one he fears the most and, as Harang said, the one he has no choice but to rely on.
Naridel Paul Calladorn.
They were brothers with the same mother.
“Ha, really, this sister believed and believed in her brother until the end. “I can’t believe he wouldn’t do something like this behind my back.”
As Naridel approached, step by step, Kyle’s shoulders trembled.
“S-sister… … that is… … .”
“huh. “Make an excuse.”
Naridel speaks with a gentle smile. But Kyle had nothing else to say.
“Don’t you have anything to say?”
“… … .”
When Kyle lowered his head with his mouth shut, Naridel’s smile disappeared and he muttered cruelly.
“Is that really the end?”
“… … yes?”
“You couldn’t do anything?”
At one point, the emotions Kyle felt.
shame.
Humiliation.
Shame.
Indescribable… … It was a feeling of complete defeat.
My sister pointed out to herself.
Did you cowardly try to hit your younger brother in the back?
Then, I asked for the results.
What happened?
‘result… … .’
I couldn’t do anything because I was scared by my younger brother. How can you say that? However, even if he did not answer, Naridel had a cynical sneer on his lips as if he already knew the answer.
‘ah… … .’
Kyle shook his pale wet eyes and lowered his head.
Looking at him like that.
Naridel just laughed.
Just as Kyle was feeling embarrassed by her mysterious smile, Naridel placed a hand on his shoulder and said,
“Are you feeling defeated?”
“… … !!”
As Kyle bit his lip, Naridel spoke in a slightly softer voice.
“are you okay. Because you have not been completely defeated by that child yet. One loss? It can happen. Just because you are this sister doesn’t mean you always win. Just that feeling of defeat… … All you have to do is turn it into a driving force to take down that adopted child.”
Suddenly, Naridel gave advice in a soft voice, and Kyle was taken aback, but quickly nodded.
“Little brother. “Do you want to win that guy?”
“I want to win.”
“If you want to win, make sure you win. “You may be an ugly younger sister, but as an older sister with the same mother, it breaks my heart to see you lose.”
What kind of nonsense is this sister saying right now? Kyle didn’t think she could make more sense than me and Riddell suddenly becoming nice, but now she knew nothing sweeter than her words.
“so… … In particular, I will lend you the ‘Summon Mail’ that I captured on the battlefield.”
“… … “You mean Summon Mail?”
Summon mail was extremely rare in the world, and most of its wearers and owners were registered in the encyclopedia and were known by name.
Summon Mail, which cannot be worn unless you have a stubborn Aura and is stored in a subspace and appears and worn when the user wants, is every knight’s dream due to its unique portability and ‘special abilities’ that are attached to it. It was like a sword.
Even if you are Caladern’s blood relative, it is not easy to obtain summon mail.
Even if you are a direct descendant, you will not be able to wear it easily unless you make a big contribution on the battlefield or obtain the Summon Mail yourself.
Kyle had just graduated from Midnight Night Castle and came into the world, so of course he had no chance of having Summon Mail.
“okay. So put on this thermal mail and officially apply for life or death. I guess I’ll get some criticism for lending equipment for a duel between blood relatives… … “As your older sister, can’t you do that much?”
“Nu, sister!”
Harang, it’s no problem as long as I can put even a little blemish on that cocky adopted son’s winning image.
‘The current guy is showing perfect growth, to the point where it’s too dangerous.’
If you don’t make him slow down at least once, his growth will accelerate even more and one day it will become impossible to even stop him.
‘So, if I inflict the disgrace of losing on this little brother like Mojiri, it will be a very effective blow.’
Summon Mail’s effects vary greatly depending on the wearer’s capabilities, but Kyle could not afford to lose because it amplifies skills.
Of course, Kyle’s image will take a hit if he relies on his equipment to win… … .
‘Well, that’s none of my business.’
Naridel smiled brightly, hugged Kyle, who looked touched, and patted his back.
‘Hehe, little brother. I need you to make some sacrifices for me.’
