ALL NOVEL Chapter 40. The time for independence comes (7) Cause First.
The place where I am now is a banquet to celebrate my birthday.
It is a banquet to commemorate my birthday and my coming-of-age ceremony.
I'm not as good as the throne, but I'm sitting in a pretty fancy chair and without a word.....
“Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. With this, Arell-sama is a grown-up...
the following is omitted.
Now I see the nobles talking congratulations in front of me.
This is the second reason why I feel bad.
There are also some that are quite boring.
More nobles came to see me than on my first birthday.
Back then, I pretended to be asleep because I was a baby, but now I can't sleep, so it's painful.
In addition, now we have to react individually.
A smiling face is basic, and even short words should be given.
I don't think most idol handshake events would be this difficult.
“Not only us, but all the people will be commemorating this day.”
what?? Celebrating my being kicked out of the province?
I can only hear this in my ears.
To be honest, in the early days of my previous life, I would have grabbed these bastards by the collar, climbed up on the roof, forcibly spit out the puss in their stomach, and shook them wildly.
Or did you play with fireworks with them?
‘Patience, patience....
What I endure is, first of all, my birthday, and first of all, it is a place to say congratulations.
And mom is watching.
That's why I exercise patience.
These are the kids you won't see in a month anyway.
I'm merciful, so I'll just let it go.
The Arrel fan meeting is finally over.
I secretly let out a deep sigh.
“Are you tired?”
Suddenly, my father, who is sitting on the throne next to me, asks.
“it's okay.”
“Don’t overdo it. I already know that you are struggling with preparation.”
hmm? preparation? Are you saying I'm ready to advance into the territory?
But did I say it right?
I'm tired right now, so my head doesn't turn very well.
“Don’t worry.”
....What do you mean?
Anyway, can I get some sleep now?
Even if I yawn, no one will see, right? and when you try to avert your eyes.
“Arel. Will you be okay for a while?”
It's kind of an annoying voice.
I was doing something, but in front of me was a senior peacock... no, a woman in a fancy dress was approaching.
Wasn't I the main character on this birthday?
Why are you more gorgeous than me?
Well, it's no wonder it's gorgeous.
It was none other than Aunt Elia, the queen.
She is the most underaged woman in the kingdom.
But what about this lady? strange?
Today, there are only greetings from nobles, and there shouldn't be anything to talk about except chatting with members of the royal family who are already acquainted with each other?
“I heard the story. I thought I was already leaving for the manor. Lipana must be quite disappointed.”
ah-ha, I see.
You came to scratch my temper.
Is my birthday present from you high blood pressure?
Your hobby is so noble.
I can talk to you.
It is truly my sad destiny to have to respond with a smile here, saying that the class is a gangster.
“It was something I would take on one day. Rather, I am glad that the opportunity to contribute to the kingdom came early.”
Yes, it is destined to be kicked out someday.
When I say it in a pretense, Aunt Elia's face glows with something like faint joy.
“I miss you the most. It seems like my swordsmanship has improved a lot thanks to you... I always thank you.”
“I am ashamed.”
“So, even though it’s insignificant, I should at least return it.”
huh? return courtesy?
Can I give you something as a present?
Elia beckoned, and the maid serving her gave me a coat that looked warm at first glance.
The white fur coat looked somehow fluffy.
“It's a coat made from the fur of foxes living in Fahilia.”
When I touched it, it was clear that it was a fairly expensive coat.
However, although I received a present, I am not very happy.
Rather, I feel dirty as if I have piles of shit on my hands.
....That's right, it's been four years.
Every woman is the culprit!
I expected.
In the first place, that mom is not the type to keep someone in check politically.
So, I wonder who really realized the sense of crisis and pushed for advancement into the territory to keep me in check.
A person who can forcibly win the appeal of the entire nobility and gain their support.
Or the back of the character.
Anyway, that bitch's temperament is really like a dog.
A coat made of foxes that live in Fahilia, knowingly... This is an open mockery.
Wow.. this is really ridiculous even for me.
I don't mock people like that, do I?
Still, if you get angry here, you're third-rate.
I smiled as if I was really happy, hiding my true feelings.
“I already said hello to my brother.
Even if they are distant, they inherited the same royal blood. When I need help, I will definitely run to my brother.”
Yes, no matter how far away you are, what kind of world is it these days?
If you do it once, it takes less than 30 seconds to teleport.
“oh? You are very reliable.”
Of course, I don't care if my brother needs me or not.
However, on the contrary, whenever I want to see your face, I can go to pluck your hair at any time.
Please don't let that day come.
Please, I'm begging you, let's be careful that the day we can open up to each other doesn't come.
You're in a position where you know each other well.
“Whoop whoop whoop.”
Aunt Elia and I smiled at each other.
Madame. I see wrinkles because I smile.
The banquet was slowly coming to an end.
The nobles are busy chatting with each other, and I've lost interest in a little boy like me who's about to go to the backcountry where a snowstorm hits.
It's annoying when you pay attention to me, but I feel lonely because I'm turned away.
Shall I pass the time playing pranks on the knights silently guarding my back?
“...Come to think of it, I think I'm forgetting something.”
something is unpleasant
I felt like something had just gone wrong.
Come to think of it, isn't anyone quiet these days?
I glanced sideways.
Cania's older sister.
He doesn't say a word to me after half a year, perhaps because he was disappointed that I forgot to announce the news of my independence late.
From what I've heard, he's been running around destroying the training grounds while venting his anger at the knights these days.
I named my sister's swordsmanship Starbreaker, but not Training Ground Breaker.
To put it bluntly, I felt sorry for the knights, and I even secretly supported them with the repair cost of the training ground.
I still feel like I'm not in a good mood.
‘Should I apologize before I go?'
Well, even if it's me, I'll be sad.
After the banquet, would it be better to visit sooner or later and sincerely apologize?
Are you thinking about
“huh!”
Suddenly, my sister nodded loudly to herself and stood up. ....Sense of sadness that can be seen in a master commander who makes the biggest decision in his life.
It seems like I'm going to go to the battlefield like this.
....Something ominous and throbbing.
The feeling I've built up over the years I've known my sister is suddenly rushing to work.
Usually when my older sister makes a face like that, things rarely happen properly.
Kania noona walked confidently to the king and then stopped.
“Cania? What is it?”
“father. I have something to tell you.”
My bomb detection abilities...just a premonition is sounding an ominous alarm.
Kania: I don't know why my instinct to come out suddenly awakened on my half-brother's birthday.
Even I was staring blankly at the scene, unable to read the meaning.
It's not just me.
Other nobles, brothers, mothers, female knights, and... the king too.
“It doesn’t seem like a seat right now.
do it later.”
“No, right now is perfect.”
Even if he were to be firm and step down, he would not easily accept it.
Let the king wink at you to say it without being able to do it.
“In a month, I will follow Arell.”
Woo Woo Woo Woo!!
I could clearly hear the sound of something emanating from somewhere.
not one or two
It seems that all the nobles who drank in moderation exploded.
Ugh? Fountain show of alcohol is dirty.
Fortunately, I had nothing in my mouth now, so I was spared the ugliness, but I almost vomited ectoplasm instead.
By the way, what is Concubine Pinelia, the mother of Kania's sister, doing?
He looks like he's obsessed with something.
what? Does that lady already know something?
“I will say it again. I will go with Arell.”
What is your sister talking about now?
Have you ever had a drink?
Abby felt the same way, and the life in her eyes almost disappeared.
The reason why he managed to maintain his composure must have been thanks to the king's dignity, who had been discussing state affairs.
“You're kidding too much.”
“I mean it.”
Just kidding, please.
“What are you trying to do by following me?”
As if he would not tolerate any more nonsense, the king gave off a fierce energy.
If it were a normal girl, she would have trembled and withdrew from the spot, but it was rather counterproductive against Kania's older sister.
When my sister threatens me, she gets even more ignited and pushes me hard.
By the way, I'm also curious.
What are you going to do after following me?
For now, I kept my mouth shut at the thought that I would listen, and after 5 seconds I regretted it.
“I will be Arel’s knight!”
If there was a camera here, the flash would have flashed at this very moment.
I can't help but be thankful that photography technology hasn't been invented here yet.
“Cania. It's too much of a joke.”
It was a big deal.
My dad is on the verge of getting really pissed off.
My muscles are twitching.
And my mentality is also in danger.
“You want to become a knight? Becoming a knight is not that easy. No matter how hard you learn the sword...
“It's possible!”
My sister shouted confidently, as if there was any reason to believe.
“father. I just became a master.”
aura master.
Once again the nobles began to mumble.
It's not unreasonable to be surprised.
It is said that there are currently only two knights who have reached the Aura Master level even within the Kingdom.
How many people from the lineage of the royal family have reached that level?
“...I can't believe it. Kania You are only 19 years old.
There was no person other than the first king who became a master at such an age.”
He mentioned a person from 500 years ago.
That's why it's not normally possible.
I hurriedly looked at the state of Kania's sister's aura.
I only see through my eyes, so there may be some errors, but...
Hmmm... it's real
In the meantime, I wondered if there was not much progress because there was no word about the training results, but did you jump over another wall in the meantime?
The other guys don't see things like the flow of mana, so they don't seem to believe their sister's words.
However, as much as the king, his muscles are tense as if he intuitively sensed something.
“Is it really?”
“I will show you right here.”
Perhaps understanding that people wouldn't believe me if I just said it with words, my sister forcibly took the sword halfway from one of the knights standing guard and shouted, standing proudly.
“Everyone, please get out of the way!”
The nobles who understood the meaning split into two.
