Chapter 1073

Episode 1073. Which kingdom are you a knight from?

The kingdoms of the Rodina continent waged war between empires or kingdoms until fifty years ago.

As a result, the level of swordsmanship or magic soon became a society that determined the status of a person.

For example, in the case of swordsmen, a sword beginner is a baron and a sword expert is a viscount.

Fifty years after the end of the war, society has not changed much.

Baron Maxim Chekhov of Raminov Kingdom was a sword beginner who was on the verge of becoming a Sword Expert.

That’s why he was able to provoke a young aristocrat from another country with his eyes at a gathering of barons.

In a world where status is equal to skill, he believed that he had no rank among the barons, at least.

A smile spread across Baron Maxim Chekhov’s face as the aristocratic young man surreptitiously conceded even the lobster platter, which contained the sincerity of Baron Julie Greenwood.

‘He’s as timid as he looks.’

It’s worth raising your ego in front of a beauty, but seeing that you don’t do that, it’s rather regrettable.

“Thank you.”

Baron Maxim Chekhov did not hesitate and reached for the plate of crayfish.

Not because I want to eat it, but because I want to taste it as a prize.

His hand is about to pick up the crayfish meat.

Baron Julie Greenwood, who had been watching quietly, shouted ‘slap!’ He hit the back of his hand to make a sound.

Startled, Baron Maxim Chekhov looked at her with his eyes wide open.

Baron Julie Greenwood looked flustered even after I hit her, not knowing what to do.

Only then did Baron Maxim Chekhov realize that she was infatuated with this young aristocrat.

The first feeling I felt was a sense of defeat.

Then came the contempt and anger towards the aristocratic youth who had given another man the love barrage of a beauty he had not received.

Considering Baron Julie Greenwood’s sincerity, the aristocratic young man’s behavior was not timidity, but a crime.

“It’s a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.”

Of course, the pig is an aristocratic young man and the pearl necklace is Baron Julie Greenwood.

However, Elio, who was not interested in the Baron of Raminof Kingdom and Baron Julie Greenwood in the first place, did not recognize the meaningful analogy and let it go in one ear.

Rather, he mistook it for a war of nerves between the Baron of Raminov and Baron Julie Greenwood, and even stood up and took a step back.

On the other hand, Maxim Chekhov was stunned when the aristocratic young man did not hesitate to hear such an insulting analogy.

‘How did a guy like that come all the way to Hirhera?’

According to rumors, Hirhera was a more terrible place than any war in history.

The lord, Earl Blood Mir, even said, ‘If you can’t protect Hirhera, the continent will perish.’

Such a coward for such a Hirhera!

‘No, maybe this is an opportunity.’

Thinking that now was the perfect opportunity to get rid of the pods in Baron Julie Greenwood’s eyes, he spoke clearly to the young aristocrat.

“wait for a sec. I don’t know what happened between you and Baron Julie Greenwood, but your behavior is not chivalrous. Which kingdom are you a knight from?”

“Me?”

“Yes, sleep. Which kingdom do you belong to?”

“Is this the kingdom of Escatos?”

For an instant, Baron Maxim Chekhov’s eyes flashed.

The Raminof Kingdom and the Escatos Kingdom were hostile until the empire started a war.

There have been times in the past when they formed an alliance and fought against the Empire, but that was the only time.

The two kingdoms had been fighting for centuries over ownership of the Jade Lake on the border.

It is called a lake because it is freshwater, but the size of Jade Lake was equivalent to that of a manor.

It’s not just the size that is large.

“Was the person with us a member of the Escatos family?”

“You are more than that.”

“More?”

“You haven’t heard the rumors about Hirhera’s guardian yet?”

“Are you Hirhera’s guardian?”

“If you want to survive in Hirhera, you’d better know at least the name of Baron Elio Lagoa.”

“Is he Hirhera’s guardian?”

“is it so. Not only did he defeat the lord of Slash Land and the sword master, Count Codrantes, he single-handedly stopped the invasion of demons.”

“Are you saying that young aristocrat is Hirhera’s guardian?”

“Yes, now do you know what a great mistake the baron made?”

“You’re kidding too much.”

Baron Maxim Chekhov frowned.

A young man who looked ten years younger than himself defeated a sword master and defeated a demon?

‘I have to exaggerate to the extent that who believes that.’

“Does that sound come out when you see a great nobleman like Marquis Bernardo taking a baron? If what happened here reaches the ears of the Marshal of the Kingdom of Raminov, the Baron will be busy calling around here and there. Think carefully about what to say at that time. ha! Come to think of it, it seems that I have been called here and there because of the baron.”

Baron Julie Greenwood moved away with her shoulders drooping.

Baron Igor Tikhonok approached Baron Maxim Chekhov, who was standing there blankly.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s the first time I’ve heard of the name of Hirhera’s Guardian. If there really was such a thing, the Count would have taught me right away. Even if there is such a person, it will never be that kid.”

“I think so too, but Marquis Bernardo’s attitude is so polite...”

“They must be royalty.”

At the words of Baron Igor Tikhonok, Baron Maxim Chekhov’s face brightened a little. In fact, considering the age of a young man, that was right.

***

The welcome party ended around 10:00 PM, which was too early to end the party as it should be in an emergency situation.

Returning to Natsala Company, Baron Maxim Chekhov lay down on a cot for a long time.

Looking back on the day in bed, there were many things.

I got acquainted with the barons I hadn’t seen in a while, and I also met a beautiful female knight that I liked after a long time.

‘But it’s strange...’

I could barely talk to Escatos and the Barons of Baylem Kingdom.

They did not come close to him, and when he approached, they naturally dispersed.

Suddenly, Baron Julie Greenwood’s words came to mind.

―Does that sound come out when you see a great nobleman like the Marquis Bernardo taking a baron? If what happened here reaches the ears of the Marshal of the Kingdom of Raminov, the Baron will be busy calling around here and there. Think carefully about what to say at that time. ha! Come to think of it, it seems that I have been called here and there because of the baron.

The cause of the awkwardness was there.

The young woman who lived here was called ‘Baron Elio Lagoa’, and Marquis Bernardo called him ‘Sir Elio’.

If so, there was no doubt that the young aristocrat was Baron Elio Lagoa.

However, it was difficult to accept that he defeated the sword master, Count Codrantes, and defeated the demons single-handedly.

“No, does that make sense?”

If you think that ‘defeating the demons alone’ is an exaggeration and a metaphor, there is no problem. For example, it’s like a saga of ‘I stopped a hundred enemy soldiers alone’.

However, ‘defeating the sword master Count Codrantes’ is different. This is because there is no room for exaggeration or analogy.

“Baron Elio Lagoa, what are you doing?”

As Baron Maxim Chekhov muttered, someone ran into the barracks violently.

He is the younger brother of Count Blood Mir and the leader of the Flame Knights, Viscount Molart Mir.

Baron Maxim Chekhov, seeing his opponent’s face, hurriedly got out of bed.

“Maxim Chekhov! 너 이새끼! Follow me!”
