Chapter 60 – Coming of Age Ceremony – 2
Magic is omnipotent.
The power that comes only by earnestly thinking about what you want. That’s why in the past, it was the power of a god, and even now, after that power was studied and turned into human power, those with noble blood monopolize it.
Abon Franz looked at the castle in the distance, laughing at the random thought that suddenly passed through his head.
After his… No, this is the land that the ugly son will rule. The small villages that passed through this place passed by without bothering to touch them.
Suddenly, he remembered his son.
“I had an unusual birth, but…”
He started to control his magical powers when he was young, and now he doesn’t show his power to anyone.
In order to increase magical power and become stronger, you must get older or train with magical power. And earn the awe of the people around you. That’s what research has revealed so far.
As a child, is it possible for a child who is born with great power to live a proper life with the power that he unconsciously wields? No, it was impossible.
So, the birth mother or a blood relative equivalent to him attached and managed it. In fact, Aidan was raised that way.
However.
“It was interesting.”
“… Hmm.”
Someone fell from the sky
A pale blue magical light that reminds me of the sky. The quiet surrounding air fluctuates and the wind blows.
Heaven’s borang. Count William Boring, who is called the Borang of the Wind. He appeared
“Did you come all the way here?”
“Yes. Did it take an hour? As expected, I am tired of being old.”
“It’s tough.”
A middle-aged man with wildly disheveled blue hair approached Avon Franz with a smile.
From the land of Boring to here. A middle-aged man who demonstrates the miracle of reaching that distance in an hour by flying in the sky. William Borin also recalled Franz’s second son.
“I’ve thought about it since I was little, but I was an unusual kid.”
“Is it?”
“Well. I was pretty smart too.”
“… Heh.”
At the words of a man who could be called a close friend, Avon Franz also smiled.
“When I met you before, I didn’t even feel any magical powers.”
“The ability to control has already surpassed me.”
Her second son, Leoric Franz.
Considering the magic power of when he was still immature, he had to think that his son’s magic power was on the same level as Aidan’s. The reason he only guessed like that was because he couldn’t actually grasp his power.
“Control that perfectly hides one’s magic power. Even we couldn’t do it until we turned 30.”
“… Have you seen the artificial sun?”
“Yes. I saw it.”
An artificial sun using magic stones.
The technology his own son created was also unusual.
“It’s not that he didn’t have skills using magic stones, but he’s a bit unusual. The mana used in the technique does not disappear. Rather, it seems to be increasing more and more.”
“Leoric didn’t explain in detail, but it seems to be related to the sun.”
“From Golden Franz, Sun Franz.”
Although he seems to have said solar heat in passing. The words his second son occasionally spilled were unfamiliar to him.
“It’s unique, it’s unique. What… Doesn’t it matter because it says that the prospective son-in-law is great?”
“Preliminary son-in-law.”
Those words reminded Avon of Irina Boring.
The girl of Boring’s blood was a girl with bright eyes at a young age. Although she is a young lady who is not lacking to be her daughter-in-law.
“No way. Wouldn’t it? Yes?”
Looking at Avon, who was deep in thought, William looked at him as if he was dumbfounded.
“As a father, wouldn’t you worry if you found a good marriage partner?”
“Wow, you. Isn’t that a bit much?”
At Avon’s words, words from his youth flowed from William’s mouth. Avon turned his head to avoid William’s bewildered gaze.
“What the. Suddenly, the Bahnia clan. It’s ridiculous.”
“He’s my son, but he’s strangely involved with women.”
“You mean the one with Franz’s bloodline?”
Franz is a blood relative who lacks great grandsons.
He hadn’t even thought that he would have a second son.
Seeds were lacking, and strictly speaking, sexual desire was close to nonexistent.
Every time he met his now wife, the mandatory defense battle was a headache for him.
Love is, but love and that love are a little different.
Without seeing Avon’s slightly drawn face, William sighed.
“He has a rich libido, he touches this woman and that woman, and his skill at manipulating mana is excellent, and that Franz’s mana is not used as golden mana, nor is it used as a golden lion. He created his own technology called the sun.”
The huge magic power contained in the veins also affects the user’s mind. The symbol of the Franz clan’s golden and golden lions. It is not that Aidan learned Avon’s skill that Aidan uses the Golden Lion’s skill like his father, Avon. It’s just that he got it so naturally.
However, in the case of Leoric, he forges his own path, unaffected by the traits of his kin.
“You’re not thinking of founding a country, are you?”
“I bet you won’t.”
“Is it?”
William must have been worried because he couldn’t see how annoying the bastard was, but he thought that wouldn’t happen if Avon saw it.
“I have no great greed for power. Even the Müller land was almost half-forced.”
“That guy really is.”
He’s a weirdo William muttered that while looking at Müller’s castle in the distance.
“Exactly… Close to Barhn.”
“In the meantime, there are other territories. There are rivers, lakes, and streets. Not very good conditions.”
“It is, but… Isn’t that the story of leaving the territory alone?”
With a ferocious smile, William Borin looks at Avon Franz.
“Did you feel that the situation around you was suspicious these days?”
“Yes.”
A generational change takes place.
Past era. Avon Franz, who was on the younger side even in the war-torn era, is now old, so how many people remember that era?
“The spoiled bastards started installing them.”
“… This is a good opportunity.”
If you forget the past and reveal it, you just end up eating it in reverse.
They weren’t the only ones who had a generational change.
Avon Franz thinks of his children and their men.
As the head of the family, if it is a duty to successfully achieve a generational change, Avon Franz accomplished it admirably.
“If there is a justification, it is enough to start a war.”
“Nice. Are you going to go to the battlefield again?”
“It hasn’t been decided yet, isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
Where did you get it from William Borin, who took out a bottle of wine, poured it into a glass and passed it to Avon. Avon also slowly took the bottle and glass and began to drink slowly.
“Ah. Come to think of it, they said they were having a coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Even if I go through that eavesdropping every time, I feel bad.”
Haha. No, this is really a coincidence. I heard it when I passed over Franz.”
Eavesdropping, a technique mainly used by William Boring. It was his special ability to grasp a lot of information even from a very long distance.
The sound he heard when he accidentally passed Franz, which he always uses.
Remembering the sound, William laughed.
“Perhaps it’s because he’s sensitive to magical powers, so I couldn’t even eavesdrop on Leoric. I only recognized it from the sound of the servants getting ready.”
“Yes. … It’s an adult ceremony. You gave me a good excuse.”
“Leoric must have liked the princess. Are you beautiful?”
“I heard that you are still young.”
The reason Leoric made that excuse was Baheun’s honor. To be precise, it must have been for the sake of the honor of the princess. The two family heads, who immediately grasped the situation, nodded.
“Maybe it’s because he’s your son, he’s bold. He’s said to be the acting head of the household, but Franz is making an important choice right away.”
“Well.”
I’ve known it since the few times I had to work, but working is also a talent. Of course, as the saying goes, a seat makes a person, even if it is not possible, it is a person who produces results to some extent if he invests time.
The son started to handle things as if he was used to it. As if he had ever worked in such a collective.
“When that princess becomes queen… No, it doesn’t matter if you drop out of the dispute. The Bahnia clan and the Barheun kingdom are indebted to Leoric.”
The time will come when the debt will be greatly used one day. I don’t know how far Leoric looked and thought…
“… Being a queen is good for me. Our Irina, how much did you expect to see Leoric on this occasion? Seeing the princess next to him will make you feel feverish.”
Saying he was concerned about his daughter, William said and turned away with a mischievous smile.
“Well, Leoric would be able to handle the three concubines.”
“It sounds terrible.”
“No, other families do that. You guys are unique.”
William, who recalled the memory of having a hard time with a woman in his youth after seeing Avon, who seemed to hate it sincerely, laughed and his body began to come to mind.
Looking down at Avon for the last time in the raging wind.
“I will have to send Irina to this coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Are you?”
“It’s Franz’s coming-of-age ceremony, so I really want to go, but I’m also busy dealing with the capital guys.”
Capital city
His wife must still be fighting a political battle against the capital’s nobility and royalty.
If she were a wife who was a more Franz-like heroine than Franz, she would laugh and smash.
“If you have time, send her son too.”
“Didn’t she say she had a baby? Be careful.”
Red blood.
At that, William laughed.
“They are very persistent. Then work hard.”
“Well.”
Leaving those words behind, seeing William disappear into the sky with a streak of blue light, Avon looked at Müller Castle again and fell into thought.
It’s not that she wasn’t worried about Yeongji, but at least from what she’s done so far, I know she’s doing well.
All she has left is war.
“Ginger Ginger as a coming-of-age gift.”
It would be perfect as a gift for your second son.
Thinking so, Avon turned his body after dissipating the alcohol in his hand with magic.
Now, the war is coming.
