Episode 551 Saving the Countess (9)
Seeing Ray looking around as if he was about to leave, Pelos licked his lips.
He himself was a swordsman before he was a knight, so he had a desire to learn from a skilled person if he had the chance.
Deeply wanting to tie Ray’s steps, he insinuated.
“Since the training of the soldiers has begun, why don’t we go to the gymnasium?”
Even after talking about it, Pelos felt sorry for him.
To watch the training of soldiers to a skilled person like that.
It is rudeness that can be offensive depending on the listener.
Hana Ray said with a smile that made his concerns go unnoticed.
“great.”
Since there is nothing to do at the moment, I was thinking about what to soothe the boredom.
I couldn’t help but fall for Pelos’ sweet offer.
Looking at him, Pelos thought.
‘He’s taking care of me.’
Despite her young age, she has the ability to overwhelm Sylveria and a spirit comparable to her, so it can’t be seen as a bad thing.
Not knowing in a dream that he was firmly mistaken, Pelos took the lead with a smile on his face.
“Follow me. Today, I will show you a little deeper.”

Sylveria was in great confusion.
As soon as I got back to my bedroom to get rid of the shock of last night, I went straight to sleep.
However, even after waking up, the shock of Dalian was still there.
“...I lost.”
When was the last time you had a fight with someone your age?
But on top of that, he even lost.
She calmed her still shaking hands.
“I’ve never seen a sword move like that.”
The sword of the young man he looked down on was huge.
It was also soft and quiet.
A sword that has reached stillness.
Nonetheless, his career on the sword was considerable, and if he recklessly tried to block it, it would be like being cut with the sword.
I’ve been learning swordsmanship for over ten years, but I’ve never heard of such a sword existing.
Isn’t this a state only possible for sword masters who say they built their own sword?
The saliva went down the drain.
I heard that there is only one person in the Holy Land known in the world who has reached Master at his age.
Silveria, who was looking for a connection between the two, smiled.
“It can’t be.”
She stretched and lifted herself up.
Putting on the plate armor one after another next to her, Sylveria took her sword and left the bedroom.
‘If he’s close to the master’s skills... Maybe...’
At least he seemed to be about the same age as himself, but his swordsmanship surpassed the other knights.
When I confirmed that it was not unusual, hope rose up.
Maybe he has a knack for magic too.
one in a million
If a miracle happens even one in ten million, wouldn’t it be possible to build a daedaedae according to his words.
Predicting the possibility, she immediately shook her head.
If one person’s talent for swordsman alone is amazing, it is impossible for one person to reach out to tactic.
Isn’t that already a level of fraud beyond genius?
There was no way a person like that could have been sent down unless the sky was crazy.
Quickly organizing her thoughts, Sylveria headed for the gymnasium with a slightly more relaxed face than before.
* * *
When Ray arrived at the gymnasium, the soldiers stopped moving.
“....”
“....”
All the soldiers were distracted by the swordsmanship he showed last night and couldn’t come to their senses.
A sword they couldn’t follow.
A road to be reached someday.
From the moment I realized that, my body strangely lost strength.
The head follows it, but the body often breaks down when it tries to follow it.
like smoke.
“It’s a bit difficult to move your body in front of the soldiers on time.”
Silveria, who was soaked in misery and shaking her hands, joined.
“Try it.”
Is it a desperate will that he cannot die alone?
Even the countess’s daughter spoke, and even Pelos, who ate whatever she had in between, couldn’t resist.
In the end, he had no choice but to accept the sword.
I took a deep breath and immediately drew the sword.
loosely.
This guy was the same.
From low-end soldiers to knights who teach them.
None of them were perfectly fine.
Sylveria grinned at Pelos’ clumsy swordsmanship.
Ray also smiled.
“I’ll turn.”
* * *
Royal family of Heron.
Two men and women who looked elegant at first glance and an old woman sat facing each other.
Even though they were finely dressed, it was difficult to hide the winds and waves of the years. The old woman with fine wrinkles stared at them.
“The Marquis of Garen and Viscount Mace are looking for Count Sylvester?”
At that, the young man nodded.
“yes. Movement is not unusual. I guess it has something to do with ‘it’.”
Was it harsh to say that?
The old woman’s brow twitched.
“Have you prepared?”
“Not yet.”
“What have you been doing up until now? If the Marquis and the Viscount moved, it would have meant that even the central nobles were in the same line. If you’re moving this slow, you’ll be caught by those laggards.”
“I know. However, it is difficult to stop him because he went in the name of promoting friendship with the count. If you accidentally interfere, you might say that the royal family oppresses the nobles.”
Certainly, considering the way they behave, the possibility of that happening is not small.
Seeing that there was nothing they could do to stop it, the old woman drool.
“Huh... How about putting other nobles first?”
“There is hardly a noble family in the realm that is not under the influence of the central nobility. It probably won’t respond well. Since the royal family is directly contacting the nobles, it will only spread bad rumors.”
Simply put, it is an outlier.
It is clear that it was made unstoppable when it was planned from the beginning.
Thinking of the faces of the Marquis Garen and Viscount Mace, who were laughing at the royal family from behind, made me feel like my five organs were all twisted.
Let the old woman tap the desk with a poop-chewed expression.
Perhaps thinking this was an opportunity, the woman who had been still still opened her mouth.
“I have one way.”
A low-ranking aristocrat, she wanted to take this opportunity to show herself well to the royal family and become a high-ranking aristocrat.
The old woman knew this too, but pretended not to know and was using her as a chess piece.
At the word that there was a way, the tempted old woman looked at the woman.
“Tell me, Viscount Selone.”
“It is said that there is a noble son from the kingdom of Celia in the county of Sylvesta. How about using him?”
“Aristocratic children?”
“yes. There is one servant who has been secretly planted as an attendant of the Count’s family. He said it was the son of a baron.”
Not a baron, but a son of a baron.
It’s perfectly fine.
If there was a problem, if you were a high-ranking aristocrat, there was a risk of being retaliated against by the kingdom of Celia.
Furthermore, the Kingdom of Silia is a kingdom protected by a renowned saint.
If he hated him, he could be shunned by the kingdoms who looked after him.
However, as long as the baron’s self-restraint is sufficient, there is no problem.
Even if a problem arises in the unlikely event, they can be sufficiently mitigated on their own lines.
The old woman’s face gradually brightened as if it was a good idea.
“Ho-ho-ho. good idea. If things go well, give my Viscount Selone some strength.”
Even Viscount Sellon’s expression improved.
It’s been three years since I rolled like a dog under the queen.
I couldn’t be this happy when I finally heard what I wanted.
She bowed her head, suppressing uncontrollable joy.
“I am just grateful.”
When the central aristocrats want to investigate the count family’s dynamics.
The royal family of Heron also began to move along with the central nobility.
