I Am the Madman of This Family - Chapter 121
Chapter 121. I am (5)
From noble mtl dot com
Sephira’s carriage, which had entered the direct control of Eslow, entered the central district.
“wow… … !”
“It’s really cool!”
Tarragon and Catherine, who visited the big city for the first time in their lives, admired like children.
The road paved with expensive marble, used only for statues, shines beautifully in the sunlight, the water flowing in the artificial river flowing on both sides of the road is clean enough to drink, and the sound of the water flowing lightly is refreshing to hear. did.
Buildings stood at great intervals along the side of the road. Buildings with exquisitely carved wood and delicate metal decorations were works of art in themselves.
All the people walking were also dressed in formal clothes. It was clean, classy, confident and elegant in its demeanor. In their appearance, the pride of being the protagonists of this city, no, this world was buried.
The road was free. It was not a virtue of the nobles of the Senate to go early, so Sephira was able to reach her destination without hindrance.
“Princess Miles. We arrived at the Feathers Hotel.”
Inns and hotels for nobles. Among them, the Feathers Hotel, which boasts a 200-year history, was a hotel exclusively for the nobles of the Senate.
When Didos, leader of the 5th squad of the Galactic Knights, opened the carriage door, Miles closed the book he was reading. Before getting off the carriage, he told the others.
“From here on, be careful with your words and actions. You must keep in mind that you have come here on behalf of Sephira.”
In particular, Miles, who looked more at Tarragon, turned his gaze to the side and made a puzzled expression.
“Keter, you… … .”
The nuance of ‘Won’t you listen even if I tell you to be quiet?’
Keter waved her hand.
“I’ll take care of it, bro.”
“… Please do only what can be corrected.”
“Well, what am I crazy about? They don’t bark or bite every time they see someone passing by.”
“Yes, believe me.”
Miles, whose collar was tightly fastened, got off the carriage first, and the Galactic Knights lined up left and right.
Pedestrians passing by stop and watch. It had to be. Because all of Sephira’s blood relatives were heavenly handsome men.
Golden eyes loved by the sun and purple pupils like jewels. His sharp and stout body, forged by archery, stimulated the curiosity of many women.
Even the men stopped walking every single time. Because of Catherine’s presence. Neatly braided ponytail, tanned tan skin, and strong muscular body are like wild horses roaming freely in the meadow. She was the epitome of healthy beauty.
However, the unrivaled presence among them was, of course, Keter.
The dark red shirt, which contrasted with the cool silver hair that showed off his forehead, had about three top buttons undone.
His sleeves were rolled up and his hands were tucked into his pockets, and his languid eyes were unable to tell where he was looking or what he was thinking.
When Miles reached the entrance of the hotel, he was greeted by a guide in a light blue uniform.
“Welcome to the first hotel in the kingdom, the Feathers Hotel. Prince Mile El Sephira.”
“Please keep the wagon.”
“Excuse me, but this is impossible.”
“hmm?”
Miles glared at him, asking what he meant.
“Unfortunately, there are no vacancies, Gongja.”
Miles’ brow narrowed. It was nonsense.
Of course, during the Southern Sword Tournament, not only the nobles of the southern region, but also the nobles of the eastern, western, and northern regions visit for sightseeing.
However, it is customary that hotels in the south preferentially accept southern aristocrats, and among them, of course, it is customary to reserve rooms for prestigious families with high prestige.
Even Sephira, among the Senate nobles, arrived first.
But there are no vacancies?
This must be a dirty and naive trick of the hostile nobles.
But knowing this, I couldn’t do anything about it.
Sephira’s position was like that. Even if he yelled at me like an idiot, what he got back was just a formal reply asking for pardon.
Miles, who had shot the guide, said softly.
“Tell the manager of the Feathers Hotel. From now on, Sephira will never stay at the Feathers Hotel.”
“I express my deep regret.”
Sephira and the others turned around without being able to enter the hotel. This was a great humiliation.
Miles looked back at the group and said.
“They say there are a lot of rats in the rooms at the Feathers Hotel, so go somewhere else.”
However, it was no different than any other hotel. They all refused Sephira, saying it was full.
Sephira’s carriage, which had lost its way, stopped on the road.
“Gongja. What should I do? Even at an inn in the outskirts… … .”
Didos asked Miles cautiously. It was at that time when Miles was troubled with a flushed face.
said Keter, who was leaning against the carriage window.
“Nowhere to go? Then let’s go over there.”
Are there any hotels still left? It couldn’t have been. There are only five hotels in the central district, and Sephira is rejected everywhere.
All eyes followed Keter’s fingertips.
“Me, over there?”
“Did you point to it knowing where it was?”
“Brother Keter. This is the monarch’s palace. It is not a hotel.”
The place Kether pointed to was the palace. The tallest and towering building in the central district. There was no room for confusion with other places.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll go alone.”
As Keter grabbed the wagon door handle to leave, Miles grabbed her arm.
“Keter. I know it’s absurd, but you. Are you acquainted with the monarch?”
“I don’t know.”
“If that’s not the case, who knows the palace?”
“It could be.”
“But why do we want to go to the monarch’s palace?”
“Because it sucks.”
“… … ?!”
“To ignore Sephira is to ignore me, and to insult Sephira is to insult me. I can’t stand that.”
“I understand that feeling. But what does that have to do with going to the palace?”
“It has nothing to do with it. They probably didn’t even tell the monarch not to accept Sephira.”
“That’s natural. No one has ever stayed in the monarch’s palace. Not just us, but any family.”
right!
Keter snapped her fingers.
“It is better. The first family to stay in the palace, Sephira. As a bonus, he must have prepared various tricks, but they will all be useless once we enter the palace. A dog chasing a goblin would be like staring at a cliff. hahahaha!”
Anis, who hadn’t heard, interrupted the conversation.
“That would be nice, of course. But how do we get into a palace where no one has been a guest for hundreds of years?”
Keter’s answer to that was very clear.
“I’m with you.”
“… … .”
Everyone is silent in Keter’s confidence.
Miles said with a serious look.
“Keter, even if I stop you, you will go to the palace alone.”
“answer.”
“If you fail to enter, I become an irresponsible bastard who neglected you. If you succeed in getting in, I’ll be a fool for not trusting you. … Lord Didos.”
“yes.”
“I’m going to the monarch’s palace.”
“… … !”
“But brother! If even in the palace they are shut out at the door, Sephirah’s prestige… … .”
Anise dried the mile, but to no avail.
“anise. Our Sephira’s prestige is already at the bottom. there’s nothing more to fall First of all, if Keter hadn’t made an opinion, I had no choice but to go to the inn. I dare not even dare to say that I am going to the palace like Keter. Anis, do you have a better idea? A better ploy than for us to get caught up in the other’s ploy.”
“… doesn’t exist.”
“Then do as Kether says. Not because Keter. Because only Keter had an opinion. If you guys have other opinions too, let me know. I will listen.”
Miles asked, glancing at Tarragon, Catherine, and even Didos.
Tarragon opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw that the others were silent, he shut it again.
“If there is no one else, let Keter do it. Let’s go, Sir Didos.”
Unanimously, the carriage headed for the palace.
* * *
I didn’t ask to go to the palace because I had a particularly grand plan.
It’s fun.
Because that’s the funniest thing in the current situation.
A palace where no one was allowed to enter as a guest. Be the first guest there. The Sephira that everyone ignores. There’s nothing as cool as this.
So, how do you get in?
I had seen Eslow in a previous life. The guy with the nickname Weapon Master really handles all weapons like a ghost.
‘And I have a strong desire for water. Especially when it comes to good weapons.’
All of the weapons he uses are artifacts, or level 5 magic tools equivalent to artifacts.
It’s strange. Where did you get so many artifacts and magic tools? It’s a strange thing even for a monarch.
Anyway, I thought that if I were to trade, I would be able to trade with artifacts. And Sephira has an artifact that she doesn’t use.
The super-heavy bow ‘Agares’ and the wind bow ‘Tempest’. Since it’s a rare bow artifact, I think Eslow will be interested in it too… … .
‘Haven’t I tried it because it’s from another prestigious family?’
Of course, the artifact is very valuable enough to be considered an ‘heirloom’, but not as much as the monarch’s favor. In other words, there were quite a few guys who offered artifacts to buy the Lord’s favour.
But since I wasn’t invited as a guest, trading with artifacts was dismissed.
The same goes for other treasures. In the first place, Eslow is the pillar of this country, the monarch. What you want, what you want is an existence that can be obtained on your own.
A transaction is established when the other party wants something.
If so, what Eslow, the absolute strong and monarch, cannot have and what he wants. What is it?
Based on what I can give and what only I have, I bring out all the memories related to Eslow.
“If you leave liqueur someday, will you visit Eslow?”
Found it.
Relationship with Eslow.
It was a memory with Franken, a chimera magician and my medical teacher.
At that time, Franken must have said this.
“Eslow has a child who is born with extreme magical retardation. Before coming here, I treated him as a temporary measure, but in about 10 years the disease will recur. If you finish your business at the liqueur before then, I will go out and treat you, but if Keter you leave the liqueur before me, say my name and treat me instead.’
extreme power retardation.
Innately, it means that the mana adaptability is too good. A constitution that absorbs too much mana and eventually dies because the body can’t handle it.
Franken taught me how to cure this extreme magical retardation, and of course he didn’t treat me in my previous life.
Fighting the queen is like fighting all four lords.
I couldn’t afford anything else, and there was no guarantee that Eslow’s son would be on my side if I healed him.
But things are different now.
Eslow doesn’t see me as an enemy. I don’t know how much he cares for his children, but one thing is certain.
The only ones who can fix the extreme magical delay are Franken and I in this world.
He pulled out a business card from his pocket. On the back page, Franken’s full name was written in Franken’s handwriting.
– Sinclair Frankenstein Wentworth.
Franken’s treatment means that Eslow and Franken know each other. Then there’s no way I don’t know this font and full name.
“Princess, we have arrived.”
Didos said outside.
The wagon’s speed is reduced.
“Keter.”
Miles calls my name. It seems quite uneasy. I saw that I put down the book I always held in my hand. Well, there’s nothing I can’t understand.
I’m not sure I can move Eslow’s heart with this either.
However, it is certain that this is the best and the best, so I am not anxious. In the first place, attempts are important, failures are not.
I got off the wagon first.
I asked to come, so I will say what I have to say.
The knights guarding the palace naturally surrounded the wagon. The Galactic Knights in charge of escorting the carriage remained calm.
“What did you come to see the lord of Sephira for?”
The guy who seems to be in charge steps forward and says. Unlike the other knights who wore gray armor, he wore gray armor. Are you a knight commander?
I handed the guy a business card.
“Tell it to the lord.”
“… What about you?”
Hey, is my face still unknown?
Should I praise Sephira for doing a good job locking down the door, or should I feel bad knowing that the guys outside are ignoring me?
DDoS spoke for me.
From noble mtl dot com
“This is Sephira’s sixth master, Keter El Sephira.”
“Keter El Sephira. Excuse me, that’s a name I’ve never heard of. I understand your desire to get your name known to the monarch, but I won’t allow it.”
“I didn’t come here to tell you my name. What I want to tell you is this.”
When I showed Franken’s full name written on the back of his business card, he frowned.
I can’t figure out what you mean?
Just do it.
Franken’s handwriting is at the level of hieroglyphs.
“What does it say?”
“That’s something you don’t need to know. I don’t even know What is certain is that if the monarch sees this, he will definitely treat me as an honored guest.”
“… … !”
When I heard that he would treat me as an honored guest, he widened his eyes and once again glared at the back of his business card.
Can you read it if you stare at it like that?
“Can I take a closer look? Even if it contains an important message, I will make sure that there are no problems with the business card itself.”
“OK.”
He blew his business card away.
The gently flying business card was caught in the knight’s hand.
“Mmm.”
The knight examines the business card with an aura in his eyes. there is nothing like that It’s just a pretty sturdy business card.
“There is nothing special about the business card itself. but… Confucius Keter. Are you sure what is written on this business card is really important to Lord Eslow?”
“One thing is certain. If the lord finds out that you left me standing in front of the door for more than ten minutes, even ten of your necks aren’t enough.”
“You have great confidence.”
“Then you thought you were bluffing? Run to your feet right away and tell them.”
“Um… . I know it’s so important. But, if this is all false-”
The guy holding the weight puts his hand on the sword and says.
“You will not be able to return safely.”
* * *
Anise shouted at Keter, who returned to the carriage.
“You child! What the hell have you done!? No matter how hard it is, why are you mentioning the monarch? The warning that they will kill us is by no means false!”
The complexion of Miles, who had to dry the anise, was also pale. Now, it can’t end with an happening at the level of ‘I just came to say hello’.
It was only natural that everything had become a matter of risking one’s life.
“It drools.”
Anis stepped back at Keter’s words, but her angry face remained.
“Ask me in advance that you’re going to do something like this!”
“Would you believe me if I told you? He must have been pestering me not to do it.”
“that… … .”
“The boys are scared. If you die, you die, why are you so anxious to live?”
“You’re the only one who thinks so, Keter.”
“Then you better get used to it. Don’t make a fuss every time.”
“… older brother. What if Keter’s business card doesn’t work?”
Anise ignored Keter and asked Miles. Mile muttered with a sad expression.
“It is good not to fight. If you’re going to kill me, I’d rather die innocently. That is the only way not to harm Sephira.”
Everyone’s expression darkens when they say that they must die without being able to resist. Only Katherine had a face that said, ‘I believe in Master Keter!’
Keter brushed her bangs and grumbled.
“Why is my image like this? Even if I drive a wagon with lava, you guys should be excited, not screaming.”
“I’d rather dive into lava. Rather than insulting the Lord!”
Anise moved as far away from Keter as possible. That’s right, it’s not a wagon.
At that time, Didos spoke in a nervous voice outside.
“Princess Miles. The knight who went with the business card has returned.”
There was a heavy tension in the carriage.
Miles swallowed and said.
“How is your expression? Does it look like it’s eager to kill us?”
“He doesn’t look angry, but he has a very subtle expression.”
“Are we controlling our facial expressions because we’re afraid we’ll rebel?”
“I came right in front of you, Gongja. I will just step away.”
Didos fell off the wagon. A knight in dark-colored armor soon arrived in front of the wagon.
“Please forgive my rudeness in not introducing myself. My name is Geoffrey Edmund, the 22nd Squad Leader of the Immortal Knights.”
At Jeffrey’s introduction, Tarragon licked his dry lips.
“It tells you who dies at the hands, is this… … ?”
“No matter how much you think about it, it makes no sense to die peacefully. It is right for a knight to die fighting.”
It was at that time that Anise grabbed the bow and started making a fuss about taking arrows.
Jeffrey said, getting down on one knee.
“Forgive me for daring to meet the distinguished guests. We will guide you to the boudoir right away. Lord Eslow is waiting for you in the Office of the Sword.”
