Chapter 24

TL-Mechatronic

Nina’s room was a large one right next to Adrian’s. There was a door connected to his room, but it was always locked, so there was no use.

Nina changed her clothes and made North Wind look for Adrian.

“Your Grace.”

Nina quietly whispered to him on the edge of his personal training camp.

Adrian, swinging his sword, turned his head.

“Your Grace?”

“Uh… Today, I have something to report as the Knight Commander Nina La Dell.”

“But why do you have to speak so formally?”

“Greetings. Knight Commander Nina La Dell has returned. I have something to report, sir.”

Nina said politely, crossing her arm across her body,

Adrian nodded slightly and began to swing the sword, again, in a clean movement.

Now, I felt like Adrian’s sword skills were clearly visible.

“But, I’m still stronger, aren’t i?’

With that in mind, Nina reported that she had finished gathering useful plants and brought a herd of unicorns.

“Unicorn?” Adrian stopped swinging his sword. He put it down, like throwing a heavy iron sword for training.

“Yes, that’s why it took a long time.”

Nina shrugged her shoulders as if she had done something trivial, Adrian frowned and sighed.

“Nina La Dell.”

“Yes.”

He laughed as if he couldn’t help it.

“You’re the only one who always suppresses my expectations.”

“Because I’m Young Master’s Nina.”

As Nina smiled, holding her hands together, Adrian lifted his hand calling her closer, so Nina stepped over to his side.

“Well done. Can I give you something as a reward?”

He asked, bowing his upper body slightly. His eyes were bright pink in the daylight.

Nina opened her arms and said, “Hug me.” with a triumphant look on her face. As he bowed down Adrian stopped midway. Nina slipped her arms down stealthily and asked with her hands behind her arms,

“If not, should I ask something else?”

“It’s not that, I’m sweaty right now.”

Nina didn’t care, but Adrian said he cared.

“Then wash up and give me a proper hug later.”

At Nina’s words, Adrian thought for a moment and nodded, not knowing what to say.

“Anything else?” “Well, I’d like to send the report from Kirill to BlueStone Island for now.”

At the words, Adrian stood aloof for a moment.

“Why there?”

“She wants one more person to help her study medicine. That’s the only place where those people are gathered. But I don’t know if at least one of them will come.”

Adrian was lost in thought by Nina’s words. Waiting for him to think through, Nina recalled the male lead in the novel.

Blue Stone island.

The name was given because it was made of bluestone, but the nickname was actually more famous than the place itself.

The Sage’s Island.

Sages were people that only stood by the law of their skills, did things that go against the laws of physics, and could even predict the future by observing astronomy. And above all, they were the ones who did the most research on this earth.

The male lead, Randell, was also a Sage. He is also one of the only Seven Great Sages.

As research enthusiasts, they paid little attention to outside affairs. It was only when someone predicted that there would be a big disaster in the world that they decided to pay attention to the outside world.

Because of this, ‘sage news’ became a synonym for ‘bad news’.

“But, plant research like this is the main field of study of Randell.’

Doesn’t the encounter with the actual heroine start when she sends plants to the bluestone island?

“Okay. Even if no one comes, once they see the report, they’ll make an objective judgment.”

At Adrian’s words, Nina asked, “Objective judgment?” he smiled gently.

“When they look at the plants we’ve grown, no one would dare to say nonsense like ‘The devil’s seed from the Violet forest’, or ‘Fruits of the fallen Spirits’.”

“Oh.”

I didn’t even think about it! I just thought that it would be good to eat well and live well. There was not a single mention of things like this in the original…….

Ah, the heroine was a Saint. It was a plant found by the saint, so there’s no way it would be treated as a Fruits of the Fallen Spirit.

‘Should I have asked the temple first? I didn’t know there was a blind spot like this……..!

I frowned and Adrian asked, “What?”.

“I was thinking about what you said. Wouldn’t it be better to tell the temple beforehand?”

“Not in this situation.”

Nina nodded at Adrian’s words.

“Well, if the young master says so……”

I picked up the iron sword that Adrian threw and put it back in place. Today’s training seems to be done with this.

“And?”

Adrian asked her if there was anything else to talk about, and Nina added.

“When is the exchange meeting? I have to quickly get the land back.”

“2 weeks later.”

“Oh, before the sowing season.”

That’s a relief. Nina nodded.

“I have to sprinkle the wheat quickly.”

Adrian smiled lightly at Nina’s assurance that she would win the exchange. He began to stride in big steps, and Nina followed him a step back. Then he slowed down a little without looking back.

-Walk beside me.

That’s what his actions meant, and Nina smiled and hurriedly walked up and stood side by him.

“By the way, Young Master, Young Master.”

He winked at me to speak.

“I think I’m stronger than you.”

“So?”

“If the temple comes to attack us again, I’ll carry the young master and run away with you so you don’t have to worry.”

Adrian burst into laughter.

“Take good care of me then, Knight Commander.”

“Don’t worry.”

Nina, who added confidently, asked.

“By the way, Young Master. Don’t you get angry because I’m stronger?”

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. How about thinking about the other person before asking a question?”

“Hey, it’s just between you and me.”

Adrian reached out his hand, and slipped one of her pigtails through his fingers, and said.

“Why should I be angry?”

“Um. Just? A matter of pride?”

“Nina La Dell.”

“Yes.”

“You are my Knight Commander and my Sword.”

“That’s right.”

“What’s wrong with my sword being the strongest?”

Nina nodded positively. Adrian whispered, enjoying the smooth flow of her hair.

“I have already told you, Nina, you are special to me.”

The reason superiors are afraid of the subordinate’s power is that he is worried that the opponent will someday commit a mutiny. That’s why they want their subordinates to be weaker than them.

But this is an unnecessary premise between Nina and him. So why do you ask me that question?

A little grumpy, he pulled her hair a little. As he pulls, she is gently pulled. She doesn’t even look like she’s displeased or suspicious.

At times like this, Adrian was afraid. When Nina acts like she’ll do whatever he wants. At that time, it was hard to suppress the urge in his mind.

Up to what extent are you able to do anything for me?

How far can I endure?

This desire to push for more.

I didn’t know where the impulse came from or where it would go. However, she was too precious to him to act on impulse.

Adrian let go of his hand holding her hair.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

Nina grinned with an innocent face while she had no idea what was going on in his mind.
