After the first day of visiting the zodiac, Spera continued to visit Rey.
Rey also had a hard time rejecting Spera, so in the end, he agreed to accompany him.
The ecliptic was so wide that I had to walk many streets for several days to see it properly.
Spera also spoke frequently with Rey while accompanying him, but was particularly interested in Johanna.
From the outside, Spera calls Johanna, ‘Sister, sister.’ It looked like he was calling and chasing.
Of course, due to the wide difference in status, Yohana could not smile as freely as Spera.
Anyway, Johanna and Spera had many conversations, and Spera revealed a great curiosity about the background of Johana’s growth.
Johanna responded to Spera’s request and told her how she had lived, and as she talked, Rey’s name kept popping up even though she didn’t want it.
Hearing Johana’s story, Spera often tilted her head.
“Collecting orphans around you before you were even five years old… No, you said you took it yourself?”
“Yeah. That’s why Jimmy hated it so much.”
“When I was 9, I suppressed a lot of thugs…?”
“It was Ray’s job to discipline the thugs.”
“…Is it true that you were trained by the knights after that?”
Yohana nodded.
Yohana hid the fact that Rei was thirteen and skillfully dealt with three knights.
Rather than asking in detail, Spera only confirmed one fact.
“Johana, is Rey stronger than you?”
Johana grunted to herself for a moment and then nodded.
“It’s very strong.”
On the other hand, Alesia went along with her companions and periodically roared towards Spera.
As if the cooldown was over, Rey pressed Alessia’s lips, which was growling again.
Rey, who had been comforting Alesia, suddenly felt puzzled and asked.
“Girl, are you doing this on purpose because it’s fun to dry you out now?”
“Well, this seems like a pretty good play in its own way!”
Ray remembered.
In the novel Alesia had seen, the female protagonist who was treated like a dog and loved.
Rey lightly stroked Alesia’s head with an astringent face.
right!
“Ouch!”
Alesia, who grabbed the back of the head, was angry.
“My knight! Where is the knight who beats his master!”
As I proceeded with such a fuss, I arrived at an auction house used by aristocrats and wealthy people equivalent to that.
It was a legal establishment, and most of the goods traded boasted an amount that villagers could not afford.
Spera also did not have the funds to participate in the auction in the zodiac, but he asked to lighten the mood.
“Is there anything you want to buy if it goes up for auction?”
“Not right now.”
Rey shook her head and looked at the escorts behind Spera. The number of escort knights was increasing compared to a few days ago.
It was unlikely that Ernst would have increased the number of escorts for her great-granddaughter for no reason, so Rey felt a little uneasy.
Meanwhile, Spera turned her head and asked Johanna.
“Are you sure you don’t have anything you need?”
“…it’s good for men.”
All of a sudden, the voices around me stopped.
In silence, Spera blinked and asked again.
“That… that it’s good for a man…”
“Someone I know said they didn’t do well there.”
Rei felt the back of her neck being pulled strongly and looked back at Yohana.
Yohana also stared straight at Rei and smiled with a sullen face.
“Why are you stabbed?”
All eyes around him turned to Ray.
Miscellaneous emotions such as disappointment, worry, pity, etc. were in their gaze.
Ray smirked and grabbed the back of his nose.
‘f*ck.’
These days, I just kept giving it to Yohana.
When I saw that my eyes were dyed red, I reflected because I thought that I had not given a lot of rest.
But how is the counterattack coming back like this?
Lay tried to manage her expression late in her confusion, but it was already too late.
Ray had to be surrounded by strange glances the entire time he looked around the auction house.
On the way out, looking around the auction house in moderation, Spera asked.
“Um… where shall we go now?”
Spera gave a brief explanation of the purpose of the buildings in the current route.
After hearing all the explanations, Ray answered, still surrounded by strange gazes.
“baths.”
“…the bathroom?”
“Yes, the bathroom.”
*
Even if it was for safety reasons, the really famous high-ranking nobles did not use the public bath.
For nobles and knights without a title, the public bathhouse of the emperor was a fairly well-equipped facility.
The convenience of the facility was excellent, and it is because it has become a kind of culture to have a conversation while relaxing after soaking in the bath.
Darren, Ian, and Luca went into the bath first and soaked themselves.
Originally, I was not in a position to use these facilities, but thanks to Spera’s handwriting, I was able to enter without notice.
Most of the men who used the public bath were soaking in the bath without a veil because they were proud of their body like aristocrats.
The male users who served Spera also chatted among themselves in the bath.
A serious discussion ensued as to whether the man who would become the young lady’s husband was actually crippled.
At that time, Ray, who was late to undress than others because of my armor, opened the bathroom door.
Rey, who crossed the entrance to the bathroom with her shoulders outstretched and majestic in the world, shouted at Darren and the children as a joke.
“Hey, little genitals.”
“That crazy bird…”
While Darren’s heart is flowing.
Everyone who heard Rey’s voice shrugged and turned their heads.
Among them was Sebas, who was looking for a public bath with a friend.
Sebas stared intently at Rey, then looked down at his lower back again and then shook his head.
“I have to give up on this love.”
While Sebas pushed himself deeper into the bath.
Lay walked up the bathroom floor and soaked herself in the bathtub despite all eyes on her.
The users of Sfera who were nearby were startled and widened the distance a little.
Darren looked at Ray, who was satisfied with himself, and asked.
“older brother.”
“why?”
“That… it’s wonderful, but that’s not proof that it’s not incapacitated, is it?”
“…Then shall we stop here?”
“Don’t say anything scary.”
Darren giggled and leaned back in the bathtub.
It didn’t really matter to Darren if Rey, whether evidence or not, could take pride in this.
And then the next day.
Shay, hearing the absurd rumors, vomited out anger in front of Spera.
“This damn bastard…!!”
The content of the rumors was that Spera chose a man by looking at his lower back… Well, that was the content.
Seeing Shay who was angry, Spera smiled.
Rumors like this originally appeared flashing, then were covered by other rumors and disappeared quickly.
“Ah… that’s fun.”
“I will kill him.”
“Shay, how many days have you been talking to your great-grandfather?”
Spura, who had moderately appeased the energetic Shay, continued to giggle, then gently pressed her finger just below her belly button.
“Well…”
Well, it wasn’t something to worry about right now.
*
Mohammed’s schedule has come to a close.
When Mohammed’s schedule was over, Count Phillips and his party had to return to the counties.
Ray wondered if he would be able to return without interruption, but it was true that most of the schedule had reached the final stage anyway.
Spera, who came to the mansion that day as well, asked Rey to fight him.
Of course, Ray immediately refused.
“I can’t.”
Spera said that if there were any conditions, I would listen to him, so he asked me to reconsider.
Ray, scratching his head, replied that he would hand out a sword if it was just the two of us in an inaccessible place.
Spera then took Rey to the cellar of the estate owned by the Frislans.
In the middle of the basement, which was blocked on all sides by thick walls and doors, there was a large space where you could fight.
“Is it all right here? Your great-grandfather wouldn’t be able to see through a basement like this.”
“…Wait.”
Rey tapped the bracelet.
Aftel replied that there are no artifacts with a surveillance function here.
Rei took a deep breath and drew her sword.
“Aren’t you being too careless? What if I hurt you, why are you coming into a place like this without an escort?”
“Anyway, I’ll always be the two of you in the same room from now on, but I’m worried, what should I do?”
Spera, who smiled softly, drew a sword and rushed forward.
Rey wielded only one sword moderately and dealt with Spera.
Spera intuitively noticed that Rey’s swordsmanship was not his main swordsmanship.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nevertheless, Rey’s swordsmanship was very high and sharp.
Spura, who swung her sword until she was satisfied, breathed in and asked.
“Can you show me your power just once?”
Rey looked at Spera for a moment and then extended her sword to the side.
It was after Ernst had already robbed him.
It didn’t change anything just by showing Spera a little bit of his true skills.
When Rey’s momentum changed, Spera rushed with joy.
wedge!!
Spera’s great sword, which was full of swords, was swung.
Immediately after, Rey’s sword, which had a sword, easily struck Spera’s blow.
Kwagak!!!
Spera, unable to overcome the repulsion, missed the great sword from her hand.
The sword that flew round and round by himself was stuck in the wall.
“Shut up…”
After making a sound of long pain, Spera slumped to the floor with a smile on her face.
“Incredible.”
Spera didn’t know what other modifiers would have to put in her mouth to express her current wonder.
Looking back on the one-sided Dalian, Spera, who had been reminded that she had overconfidence in her own skills, looked at Rey again.
“Ray, do you know why my great-grandfather killed the second prince?”
“I am ignorant of such a political aspect.”
“It was because of me.”
“…yes?”
Spera laughed softly and hardened her expression.
“It was because of me. The 2nd Prince didn’t want the Empire to have more lord ranks.”
The second prince was not hostile to Ernst.
However, the second prince thought that the Empire did not need a Lord-class.
If the 2nd Prince ascends to the throne, Ernst rests, and Spera has not reached the status of Master by then.
The 2nd Prince could have used his hand before Spera reached the status of a Master.
There were many other ways, such as accusing them of sins or putting them to death.
“So, my great-grandfather… made a very unreasonable choice.”
It worked out in the end, but no one would have been able to stop the emperor if he had offered to execute Ernst for taking part in the murder of the second prince.
“My great-grandfather wished that the swordsmanship he developed and perfected would be passed on to future generations and become even greater. As much as he loved the Empire, he had a strong desire for that. The reason why I am loved by my great-grandfather… well.”
Spera, who was behind the scenes, showed a slightly bitter feeling, and then continued.
“We… well, it’s very embarrassing to tie you up with me and Johanna, but we can support each other.”
“I’m not sarcastic, but isn’t it difficult for a young lady to get along with a lowly status like us?”
“It’s a blessing to be born with the talent to reach the ranks of Ray and Lord, but it’s also lonely. It’s hard to find a friend who can share your heart and sword equally with you, as you have to endure constant surveillance and vigilance. therefore…”
Spera smiled at Rey.
“I was happy to meet you and Yohana. It was really nice to have met a friend and a companion who could stand by each other’s side and walk together… I was really happy. Of course, you are far ahead…”
Spera, who approached lightly, touched Rey’s face and shrugged.
“Your face is also my taste.”
“You’re good with the sword, but you don’t have much talent for seduction.”
“I’m 16 now. I can’t be good at everything.”
Spera turned around with an angry face, pondered for a moment, and then opened her mouth.
“You look like my great-grandfather.”
Ray couldn’t control his expression for a moment.
“yes?”
“You’re strong, wise, like my great-grandfather… and you take risks for your own people. I’m sorry our meeting took the form of coercion, but I want us to be ‘ones’ to each other. .”
Hearing Spera’s sincere confession, Rey sighed with mixed emotions.
some time after that.
The emperor’s full-scale purge work began .
