Episode 53 15. Things You Should Not Forget (3)

5.

The magic training was very successful.

This is the Imperial Guard’s training room.

Although it wasn’t as spacious as the Duke’s private training room in Cheonghae Castle, thanks to Halo’s prior control, I was able to focus on my training very comfortably.

Woof woof woof.

Charon smiled as he checked the fifth sea that had formed near his heart.

‘Absorbed about 70 percent.’

It was a good thing I pushed myself to reach 5 stars.

Ironically, the fifth ocean was lacking in magical power, which allowed it to absorb as much of the World Tree’s dew as possible.

Of course, the dew of the World Tree was a natural magical power, so it took a long time to convert it into the magical power of Cheongmyeong.

But there was no immediate rush.

You can go back to Cheonghae Castle and slowly assimilate it.

‘The fire has been put out.’

It seems that the dew of the World Tree is definitely worth its price.

Despite its different nature, it was definitely a pure form of magical power, judging by the way it took up residence in the body.

“Haaaaaah.”

Caron took a deep breath as he walked out of the training room.

Could it be because the magic power is full?

I felt so good.

“Oh, it’s finished?”

“What were you doing here?”

“I was just… …. I was just watching to see who was coming.”

In front of the training room, Leo was standing holding his sword, Silphid.

Caron smiled faintly at that sight.

It seems that he was guarding the front of the training room in case of an unexpected situation.

“Brother, you’ve been so amazing lately.”

“What is this, Inma?”

“You carried me around because you were afraid I would die, and you even stood guard while I was practicing. Are you a little touched?”

“I’m just doing as Sabina asked.”

“Sabina?”

“He told me to take good care of my younger brother. Of course I’m older than you, so if not me, who else will take care of you?”

I was truly honored.

Even when I was in Cheonghae Castle, I always thought of him as a young boy who needed to be protected, but when I recalled the look in his eyes last night, it wasn’t all that bad.

Caron, whose playfulness was slowly creeping up, looked at Leo with a smile.

“I remember what my brother said last night.”

“… …Why are you suddenly like this?”

“What was it? Oh, right! Why did you… … . I’m sorry… … . This fucking son of a bitch, was that it? My brother kept yapping while saying that.”

“Hey, that’s it!”

That sight was so funny.

Caron, who remembered Leo shedding tears, hit Leo’s back with his hand. Then he continued speaking in a cheerful voice.

“I was upset because Grandpa only asked me earlier.”

“What?”

“You asked me if I felt anything this time.”

“……ah.”

To be honest, I was disappointed.

Because Grandfather’s gaze was focused only on Caron.

But he wasn’t stupid enough to be jealous of that. Even in his eyes, Caron’s performance was dazzling.

Leo nodded with a bitter smile.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t upset. But I don’t think it was unfair. Would I have done the same if I were your grandfather?”

“Then let me ask you. Did you feel anything this time, hyung?”

Leo pondered the question for a moment. Then he looked into Charon’s blue eyes and answered.

“Yes.”

“I’m curious.”

“I won’t tell you.”

One thing Leo felt certain about during this trip to the capital.

‘I can’t be like you, Charon.’

Caron showed us a lot on this trip.

Even when we trained together in Cheonghae Castle, I knew that I could not match Caron’s talent.

But what Leo witnessed on this trip wasn’t just talent with a sword.

Improvisation.

The ability to make the best decision in any situation.

Even though he was three years younger than Leo, he could not immediately understand Charon’s decisions. It was only later that he was able to understand the meaning behind Charon’s decisions.

It would also be closer to an innate talent that cannot be imitated no matter how hard you try.

But Leo was not discouraged.

‘Caron also has times when he falls down like last night.’

I won’t even try to win.

Wasn’t he a crazy guy with different standards from the start?

So the choice Leo made was.

“I can stop a knife from flying at your back.”

Walking behind Charon.

Charon, this monster always walks forward with long strides.

In order to keep up with Caron’s pace, you too must work tirelessly.

To do that, you must not rest. Only then will you be able to keep up.

“So don’t underestimate me just because I’m weak. I’ll follow you enough to really hit you one day. Got it?”

Leo’s heartfelt words.

Charon chuckled and hit Leo on the back once more.

“No, really, you’re all grown up. Are you the Leo Reston who used to curse at my parents?”

“… … Hey, that’s… … .”

“But, hyung, you know what? I’ve never ignored you since that time. You’ve been nice to me since then, right?”

When did that guy with such a mischievous personality grow up so well?

Caron continued speaking with a satisfied expression.

“My brother will become a great young master of the Duke of Reston.”

“Isn’t it weird that you say that?”

“Just keep growing like this, hyung. I won’t ask for too much. Do you understand?”

“That crazy guy.”

This trip seemed like it would be a great help to Leo too.

I can tell just by looking at your eyes.

Because it wasn’t the look of a dead person, but the look of someone with a goal.

Is it because we’ve been together for 3 years?

Now we feel like real brothers.

Caron nodded and then slowly walked forward and said.

“Lord Jeras?”

“Stay nearby. In the training grounds up ahead. He said he had something to say to the Imperial Guard over there. He told me to bring you over after you finish your training.”

“Then let’s go.”

There was one thing I asked of Jeras before coming here.

At first, Jeras had said that nothing was possible, but after hearing Charon’s story, he readily gave his permission.

‘You have to keep your promises.’

So the two cousins ​​headed to the training ground where Jeras was.

6.

A short hallway from the training room to the training ground.

Even while walking down that hallway, Charon heard quite a few stories.

“They say he single-handedly stopped the Mongma invasion.”

“You are the grandson of Grand Duke Halo.”

“… … Hugo Reston, I felt he was quite a monster. Isn’t there something in the Reston family’s blood?”

“Don’t make eye contact. Rumor has it that it’s very… … .”

Their conversation was all about Charon and himself.

I heard rumors were spreading, but I didn’t know it had spread this far already.

“Rumors travel fast.”

“The noble children who attended the banquet went around talking about you?”

“But why does everyone seem afraid of me? Is it because of my feelings?”

“It’s not your imagination. You’re scared.”

“Oh, good.”

It was an expected result.

This is because the children of noble families spread rumors as they remembered them.

A persistent look of stabbing a knife while bleeding from all over the body.

This was because the appearance of the well-raised noble children was perceived as being close to that of an evil spirit.

There was even a rumor going around that the youngest son of the Duke of Reston, Duke of Kian, had been beaten to death the day before, and the rumor was spreading that ‘the youngest son of the Duke of Reston is a complete lunatic.’

‘Is it half a success?’

It was a satisfactory result, as it instilled fear in the capital’s peers.

So the two arrived at the training ground, attracting the attention of the Imperial Guards.

Unlike the hallways where there were quite a few people, the training grounds were quiet.

‘It’s the same here too.’

Although there were traces of renovation work, it seemed that relatively old traces were well preserved.

“Are you here?”

“yes.”

Jeras, who had been waiting there in advance, greeted Charon briefly.

“Did you have any income?”

“That’s enough. I’m glad I took the time to come.”

“What a relief.”

“What I asked for was… … .”

“I have already spoken with the Imperial Guard. Do whatever you want.”

Charon smiled brightly at Jeras’ words. Then he spoke to Amy, who was standing behind Jeras with a nervous expression.

“Have you loosened up your body beforehand?”

Then Amy answered in a small voice.

“… … Are you really planning to duel me? Your wounds haven’t even fully healed yet.”

“Hey. I’m fine. There’s no deep wound, so don’t worry. My internal injuries are also at this level… … . I’m fine. But did you have enough leeway to worry about me?”

I told Jeras that I wanted to spar with Amy.

At first, I thought he wouldn’t allow it, but surprisingly, Jeras readily gave his permission.

Charon unhooked the guillotine from his waist and handed it to Jeras.

“I would like to do it with a real sword, but Lord Jeras said that it is not possible. A duel is best done with a real sword.”

Amy looked quietly at Caron’s face.

He knew that it was a duel, but it was actually a sparring match. And he also knew exactly that he couldn’t beat Caron with his own skills.

So the question was.

He could never understand why Caron wanted to spar with him even though he was injured.

“Why are you doing this?”

The injury Caron suffered was clearly one that required ample rest.

In fact, the priests and doctors who came to treat Caron also advised him to rest.

There was no reason to spar while going through all the trouble.

But Caron just smiled and looked at Amy.

“Why? Do you need a reason to spar? There’s no such thing in Qinghai Province. If you apply for a sparring match, you’ll be accepted. That’s the rule of Qinghai Province.”

“I am…….”

As Amy was about to say something, Charon threw a wooden sword at Amy.

Ugh.

Amy picked up the wooden sword without difficulty.

“But if I have to give a reason… … . It would be Sir Cain. I haven’t yet confirmed whether you have the skills to say that you respect Sir Cain.”

Caron deliberately provoked his opponent’s competitive spirit.

Why do you want to stick together once?

To this special junior who still respects me after 50 years, I want to let him know what path he should take.

Willingness to remain in the Imperial Guard.

A bold goal to change this place.

Caron intended to cheer her on in her foolishness.

Ttukbuk.

Caron stepped into the training ground where he had trained tirelessly long ago. After a moment, he stopped in the middle of the training ground and aimed his wooden sword at Amy.

“Come forward with your sword, Amy Altura. I challenge you to a duel.”

Amy nodded as if she had decided something at Caron’s soft voice. Then she quietly walked towards Caron.

“My skills are lacking.”

“I know.”

“… … If you don’t mind, I will accept the duel, Lord Caron Reston.”

Amy said, facing Caron.

A body much smaller than one’s own.

But in her eyes she saw the bloody little boy she had seen last night.

Even though he was wounded all over his body, his eyes that were burning brightly were still vivid before my eyes.

If it were me, would I have been able to swing my sword in that situation?

I don’t know why on earth that boy fought so desperately.

But one thing is certain.

‘A strong person who cannot be compared to me.’

It was an opportunity that was hard to come by.

To begin with, it had been too long since we had had a duel.

Since she said she would go her own way, no one in the Imperial Guard has guided her.

That’s why I was always lonely.

I couldn’t help but doubt whether I was on the right path, and I felt thirsty every day.

‘ah.’

Before she knew it, she saw her seniors gathering in the training ground.

They are looking at this place without saying a word and with cold eyes.

Is that why?

A feeling of anger began to rise in a corner of her heart.

“Good eyes. I’ll give you the lead.”

“I won’t give up!”

Amy immediately rushed towards Charon, her sword grip lightly still in her hand.

Charon smiled as he watched Amy’s wooden sword flying towards him.

‘… … It reminds me of the old days.’

It was time to teach a very special junior who brought back a few fond memories.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
