Chapter 801 – 801. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
“…….”
I closed my mouth. My head was cluttered with unbelievable information.
I put all my feelings aside and only the facts.
Yuria lost her memories and powers. From high-level Aura Master to low-level Aura Expert. This was a situation where I had fallen from a fighter jet to a bicycle level.
‘Why did that happen?’
There is only one guess.
The Trial of the Blue Dagger Artifact.
‘Did YuRia give up on her ordeal? Is she or has she failed?’
I gave up the ordeal and died of a burst heart. If it was YuRia, she would have done something before her heart burst. Her life was somehow saved, but as a side effect, she lost her memory and lost her power.
‘… No. That must be something I think too well.’
If you think about it more common sense, it is likely that Yuria’s current condition is in the middle of her ordeal.
Yuria has an absolute spirit, a trait I share. Regardless of whether it was her psychic function that caused her memory loss, she was completely immune to her psychic attacks and meddling. Unless she gives her permission.
“From the look on her face, she must be grasping something. Master.”
“…… I’ll explain as I go. Where is Yuria now?”
“It is in the annex. The maids found him wandering around the annex. Since she immediately moved to report to the master, the details of the situation have not been ascertained yet.”
“Where is the annex?”
Currently, there are 5 annexes in addition to the main building in my mansion. It is for training, play, lodging, and guests. There are two annexes for training, and I planned to add one more annex next month.
“This is the first training annex. The head maid was wearing a tracksuit. Maybe it happened while training.”
“Is it because of the artifacts that Yuria became like that…? .”
“Relics?”
I explained her artifacts to her. Melissa nodded her head.
“Exactly… That must be the only reason the head maid did that.”
Soon we arrived at the first training annex. I headed to the place where I felt the turmoil. At the end of the hallway on the first floor, I found Yuria standing blankly among the maids. As Melissa said, she was wearing a black tracksuit. She was in a training suit similar to a yoga suit, so the lines of her body were visible.
“Chief Maid! You really don’t remember?”
“The mansion will be ruined without the head maid….”
“Actually, I missed my salary this month. Please pay extra!”
“Hey, this is a serious situation. Don’t play around.”
“Master is here.”
As soon as the noisy maids saw me, they stepped aside like the ebb tide. I approached YuRia with her stride. Her Yuria’s blue eyes stare at me. Her quivering eyes and shrunken shoulders. It was a completely different atmosphere from the usual Yuria.
Feeling weak As Melissa had said, it was clear that she had weakened.
“Yuria! Have you really lost your memory? Don’t you remember who I am?”
I asked while holding Yuria’s shoulder. YuRia was startled.
“That…. I do not know. I don’t remember anything….”
“…….”
She felt her body quiver in response to her uneasy words.
Actually, I was looking forward to it. Just like last time, she wondered if Yuria was acting as her as she entered the story of [Her princess and her butler].
However, when I saw her in person, she didn’t really remember me. There was no reason for her to play such serious pranks on me.
As my hands gave out, Yuria backed away from me as she stepped back. I resisted the urge to approach Yuria again and hug her.
“I’m sorry, Yuria. I was so embarrassed to hear that you lost your memory. Introduce yourself calmly. I am Eugene Pruckus. I am the owner of Yuria Grace, the head maid.”
“Ah yes…. Master… This is it.”
YuRia’s voice was trembling. She lacked confidence. She didn’t seem to know how to react.
“Yuria. How long does she remember? Do you know who you are?”
“…… I don’t have any memories that come to mind. I just heard my name too. Um, was I really a maid in this mansion?”
“It’s not a lie. You have been my exclusive maid since ten years ago.”
“… Okay.”
Yuria nodded her head in agreement. I don’t know if she really agreed.
I held out her hand to YuRia. YuRia was taken aback as she did not know her meaning.
“Give me your hand for a second.”
“… Oh yes.”
Yuria carefully raised her right hand. I checked her physical condition using her mana. There may be no problems on the outside, but there will be problems inside. It doesn’t make sense to become weak just because you lost your memory.
“…… !!”
I was astonished.
Kihyeol, otherwise called a mana rod in this world, everything was twisted. Some are completely closed. This would make it impossible to even move, let alone use mana.
However, Yuria was moving. She shows no sign of pain. She is rather surprised as she holds her hand and looks at me who is surprised.
‘At this level, it’s enough to become a disabled person…. Why is mana circulating?’
Aura Expert is nonsense. In my common sense, you have to be lucky to be on the level of an ordinary person. However, mana was moving in her body. Unbelievable things, things beyond my common sense were happening before my eyes.
‘A small amount of mana goes into breathing… Every time your heart beats, mana moves…. Is the reason why her heart is beating fast now is to move mana?’
I belatedly remembered that Yuria’s body was in an evolved state by ‘Proxin’s Sorceress’. She could build mana in her body just by breathing like a dragon. Generally speaking, of course not.
“Are there any places where you feel uncomfortable?”
“No. It felt like something was entering my body… Perhaps… Were you watching my condition?”
“I lost my memory, so I checked just in case. My body was fine.”
I asked her several questions. Where is the starting point of memory, things about language and characters, and things about oneself.
As a result, he had no memory of himself or others. Knowledge is also jumbled. He has basic etiquette and information about things, but he has no knowledge of the history of the spirit world, shadow magic, and the Lapelli Kingdom.
“Master. I understand you’re taken aback by the sudden situation, but the head maid looks like she’s having a hard time. Wouldn’t it be nice to give the chief maid a break for now?”
I took a look at Yuria’s face again at Melissa’s opinion, who was watching from the side. He looked tired.
“… Sorry. I guess I pushed myself too hard.”
“Oh, no. Master.”
“Let me ask you two important questions. After realizing it, he said he was in an underground training center. Wasn’t there a blue dagger around him?”
“There was no such thing.”
“Do you know anything about the ordeal?”
“A trial? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
I had my doubts, but I couldn’t help it. The underground training ground that YuRia used was not equipped with CCTV, so it is difficult to recognize.
As she tried to step back, her eyes met YuRia’s. After the conversation, it seems that the wariness and anxiety about me have been relieved to some extent.
I felt an irresistible urge. She approached YuRia, grabbed her shoulders and waist with both of her hands, and kissed her on the lips.
“Whoop… !”
YuRia’s eyes widened. Her body stiffened. I coveted her lips and tongue as usual. My tongue went into her mouth and ran amok. If it was Yuria before she lost her memory, she would have entangled her tongue without panicking. But now her tongue is stuck to the floor and she’s at a loss.
Jjook. Jjook. Side.
She tightened her grip on her waist and trampled on Yuria’s tongue even more violently. It was when YuRia’s tongue was about to move little by little. She put her hand on my shoulder and pushed her. Recalling that she had lost her memory, she was meekly pushed away.
“I did what I usually do… I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“Oh, no…. It’s not….”
YuRia munched the corner of her mouth. I turned her head to Melissa.
“Balm. Take care of Yuria.”
“Well? Are you leaving the head maid alone like this?”
“You look tired. I’ll let you rest until evening.”
“Strange. Do you have anything else to do?”
“I was originally on my way to see Ploy.”
“Right. Did something happen again?”
“Because we are at war.”
Although the mansion was peaceful, it was dizzy outside. Even residents of territories less affected by the war are suffering from soaring food prices.
“I get it. I’m in charge of the head maid. It seems that the master has other thoughts too.”
“Of course not. Looking back on her old memories, I will try to recall YuRia’s memories.”
“… I can’t believe it, but….”
I left them behind and headed to her main office.
Ploy was sitting on the sofa drinking black tea and waiting.
“Here you are.”
“Did you wait a long time?”
“I waited for about an hour, but it’s okay because I have enough time. More than that, I heard rumors that the chief maid lost her memory and became weak?”
“What. Rumors have already spread?”
“I heard it in passing. Even thinking about it again, I didn’t believe it because it was an absurd story… Judging from the reaction, the rumors seem to be true.”
“The rumors are real. But Yuria is still Yuria.”
“If it’s the chief maid, she’ll be back to normal before long. Lord, now is the time to pay attention to the situation.”
Ploy looked me in the eye and caught the mood. He noticed that I hadn’t been able to concentrate because I was thinking about YuRia. I scratched the back of her head and tried to erase Yuria from her head.
“Okay. What’s up? If it was a war with the Baltic Kingdom, would it go smoothly?”
“Well. It didn’t seem like a very smooth situation. A messenger came from the main unit earlier.”
“There’s no way he brought words of congratulations…. What is your order?”
“Precisely, reports and orders.”
“Report?”
“This is a report on a recent battle. To sum it up, my lord’s brothers. Gent Pruckers and Kyle Pruckers failed.”
The mouth is open. It was unexpected news.
I understand that those two received similar missions as mine. Compared to me, Gent’s army was huge. There are many well-trained elite soldiers, and at least 100 knights follow him. Recently, I hear information that he is increasing his body size.
Kyle Pruckers’ army is small. Instead, the individual is enormous. In the case of soldiers, even the word elite is not enough, and they are warriors who have fought in reverse, and the knights gathered under his command are all veterans.
In particular, I do not look down on the adventurers and mercenary soldiers who swore allegiance to Kyle. Some of them could be called heroes if they grew up more than they are now.
“I can’t believe they both failed. Really?”
“Will the messenger from the main unit tell the lie? It’s real. However, what was said to be a failure was that it was not able to capture the enemy territory within the period set by the commander-in-chief. Neither won nor lost. They say it’s currently stuck.”
At this point, no matter what country it is, I can guess what kind of order it is.
“That must be your father’s order. Support.”
“Right. But you don’t have to apply for both. You just have to choose one of the two and apply.”
“If I don’t choose you, will you die?”
“No way. The main unit will move other units.”
Ploy unfolded the map on the desk. Red and blue circles are marked on the map.
“Red is Zent, blue is Kyle. Their opponents are Viscount Juilliard and Baron Marvelott, respectively. They say the siege period is getting longer. Our mission is to go to the aid within a week, look at the situation, and help the army capture the enemy or flee.”
I frowned.
One week.
Time was not free. Even if you can’t see the street, you have to go out tomorrow evening.
As I was silently looking at the map, Ploy said calmly.
“Viscount Juilliard has a lot of flat land. He is comfortable with running horses. However, Viscount Juilliard’s men numbered about 25,000, and if he counted the reserves, he had to think of 30,000. A river flows around Marvellot Castle. Going blindly is suicidal. However, the enemy forces are few in number, about 10,000. Which one would you support?”
“…… I don’t know. To YuRia….”
I closed my mouth. Currently, Yuria was not in a situation where she could help me. Having lost her memory, she knows nothing about Juilliard or Marvel.
“I have to say this, but it might be a good thing for the master that the head maid lost her memory. The master relies too much on the head maid. I am not ignorant of the greatness of the chief maid, but our monarch is not the chief maid, but the lord. The lord thinks and the lord decides.”
