52 – Episode 52 Gibson’s Coming of Age Ceremony
Duchy of Vampires.
Alencia Room.
“Ma’am, aren’t you attending Mr. Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony?”
“I’m not going.”
“But…”
“Is it time to go to Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony?”
The competition for the duke’s successor is becoming more intense.
This is not because of Alencia or Benia.
From Noble mtl dot com
This is because the duke’s mission became increasingly difficult.
Alencia raised her head.
There are few people she feels comfortable with.
One of them is Marie, the direct maid.
I saw Marie with her head down.
Alencia stood up and patted her shoulder.
“I’m sorry. “It’s because I have a lot of work to do these days.”
But.
The feeling in her hand was strange.
Marie’s shoulders were trembling slightly.
‘No way?’
Am I crying?
I lowered her posture and looked at Marie’s face.
But.
“Are you smiling?”
“You said you weren’t going to Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony, right?”
“That’s right. “Is that funny?”
Marie took out her paper from her arms.
“This information has just arrived. “Elwin is said to be attending the coming-of-age ceremony.”
Alencia bit her lip.
Marie’s mischievous smile caught her eye.
She was now being read.
Marie said she was anticipating how he would react.
What does that have to do with anything here? I have to say I’m not going.
That’s how it should be…
“Elwin is going?”
“Yes, ma’am. “But she said she wasn’t going to see you, right?”
Even though I know everything,
He hid Elwin’s information and asked about it.
“You… Come here!”

Duchy of Vampires.
Benia Office.
Benia pondered as she looked at the two things placed on her desk.
One of the things her father gave her.
The other one is an invitation to Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony.
Time is limited.
If you go to Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony, the quality of work is bound to decline.
Still, it was difficult for her not to go to Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony.
Because we are the only Viscount family on Monster Island.
‘He is also the closest to the next Frontier Lord.’
If the situation had been two years ago, or even a year ago, she would have attended Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony without any hesitation.
At that time, it was clear that Gibson would be the next Lord.
‘Looking at Elwin’s performance now…’
As they say in the world,
It was doubtful whether Gibson could become a lord.
The weight continued to tilt towards Elwin rather than Gibson.
Knock. Knock.
“Please come in.”
The maid left her note on her desk and went out again.
The moment I saw the memo,
Benia’s worries disappeared.
“I have to go.”
There was a short sentence written on the note.
[Attending Elwin Frontier Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony]
**
**
The center of the frontier.
Entrance to South Castle.
Brilda stood there.
The vassals lined up behind.
Today is the day Brilda was looking forward to.
We prepared a grand banquet,
Numerous guests were invited.
‘To Benia and Alencia.’
Two princesses from the Vampires family, the actual rulers of Ireland, are coming.
In that case, the rest of the small lords who followed them would also attend.
‘Today has finally arrived.’
The owner of the Frontier will be decided in front of the nobles.
The main character is, of course, his son.
‘It’s not dignified for a noble to have Elwin come on a day like this. Without even an invitation.’
If you do not have an invitation, do not attend.
This also means respecting the organizer,
In another sense, it is because of pride.
How could I attend a banquet I wasn’t invited to?
That’s also noble.
“Almost arrived?”
“Yes, that’s what it said in the letter Elwin sent.”
Peudeudeuk.
Thinking of Elwin, her mood worsened.
Ever since she broke off her engagement to Alencia, she has been annoying.
This painful tooth bothered me in the morning, afternoon, and night.
It also got worse as time went by.
Just as the pain becomes stronger.
‘It ends today.’
If Gibson becomes a small lord,
If you become a lord,
Everything Elwin has achieved will be taken away.
Things that were once annoying have turned into delicious fruits.
‘From farmland to mines. ‘Frontier’s future is bright.’
And that future will be enjoyed solely by herself and her children.
“Ma’am, I can see it up front.”
I focused my attention on the vassal’s words.
People on horseback appeared through the thick bushes.
“Elwin…”
There were several people around Elwin.
“Are they the ones helping Elwin with his work? “I guess we’ll have to deal with them too.”
But the number was not small.
At first, only Elwin was visible,
Next, five or six people appeared.
After that, people continued to come out.
“What are they?”
“Based on their attire, they are the Innocent Mercenary Group and the Salamander Mercenary Group.”
“How dare you…”
Innocent mercenary group, owner of Terra Castle.
Salamander mercenary group, owner of Alf Castle.
Elwin was showing off his power.
As if to show off.
“Um…”
The mercenary group was considerable.
They had armor as good as that of a knight and each numbered 50.
They say they strengthen their mercenary corps with taxes from the village. It seems to be true.
“Summon the knights and wizards in the territory immediately.”
“I understand.”
Showing off your power against yourself.
‘I acquired some land and bought some slaves, but now I see nothing.’
Only 100 mercenaries?
I was looking forward to seeing what they would show in front of the knights.
Following Elwin, the mercenary group also came out of the forest.
After a while,
“Um… what is that?”
Soldiers wearing neat armor and holding long spears as long as 4 meters appeared next.
“It’s like a slave soldier.”
“That’s a soldier?”
He could not be considered a soldier due to his armament and training.
What is a soldier?
Aren’t they the territory citizens who are conscripted when necessary?
But the training went that well?
Isn’t that like an elite unit?
An elite unit with professional military training, not conscripts.
“Ma’am, the numbers are unusual.”
Like a gently flowing river, slave soldiers constantly appeared through the bushes.
“Ma’am! The knights and wizards were summoned. Lady?”
The knight followed Brilda’s gaze and looked ahead.
Soon the chivalry became silent.
He looked alternately at the troops approaching from in front, the knights he had brought, and the wizard.
Chuck. Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.
Chuck. Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.
As the distance got closer, regular footsteps could be heard.
It almost felt like the ground was shaking.
Brilda bit her lips tightly.
‘How can so many people move in perfect order?’
‘What on earth is Elwin thinking?’
I couldn’t understand why they brought so many troops.
The moment I saw the next scene,
Brilda’s thoughts stopped.
“Huh!”
“That… That.”
“Ballista…”
Ballista.
War materials used with catapults.
30 Ballistas were brought on a wagon.
‘You’re really crazy.’
**

No problem. All right.
No problem. All right.
“Master, is the person in the middle Vrilda?”
With his face fixed straight ahead, he glanced at Isaac.
“That’s right.”
I brought all my major subordinates today.
Hans (knight, slave soldier in charge)
Isak (Farmland, Construction Manager)
Russell (top manager)
Uncle Miller (Hunter Manager)
Aine (responsible for mercenaries)
Inon (Terra Village Seongju)
Celion (Alp Village Castle)
Behind them are 100 high-ranking mercenaries from the Innocent and Salamander mercenaries.
After that, a phalanx and a thousand crossbowmen.
Lastly, the 30th Ballista.
‘Because it looks perfect.’
The ballista brought here are his early works and are in fact failures.
However, on the outside, there was no problem.
No problem. All right.
No problem. All right.
The horse kept moving,
Brilda’s appearance grew bigger and bigger.
‘Brilda…’
When I returned to South Castle, I remembered something from before.
‘It was similar back then to now.’
The engagement was broken off by Alencia,
I was tired both physically and mentally.
I felt like I was drowning due to regrets about the past and anxiety about the future.
When I returned home like that,
Brilda did not welcome me.
The vassals were listed at the entrance.
Everyone was called, including knights, wizards, and even administrative officials.
Brilda showed off her power towards me who had been abandoned.
No problem. All right.
No problem. All right.
The speed of speech gradually decreased.
I can feel the slope.
Brilda also paid attention to location selection.
Situated at the top of the slope.
He must be thinking of looking down on me.
‘Back then… I knelt before you, but not now.’
Originally, you would have to get off your horse and kneel on one knee to say hello.
But I didn’t get off the horse.
“How have you been? Mother.”
I looked down at Brilda with my head down.
She also lifted her gaze and was looking at me.
I raised my head without listening to the answer.
“You vassals of the Frontier! “How have you guys been doing?”
None of the vassals opened their mouths.
It was the same back then.
They greeted only after Brilda spoke.
I looked down and looked at Brilda.
She stood silently with a stern face.
‘Are you trying to embarrass me like this?’
‘Are we just ignoring it because we can’t think of a suitable response?’
I turned my gaze again and saw the retainers.
No one opened their mouth despite my greeting.
‘At times like this…’
“Lord Wilson.”
You can call an individual, not a group.
The vassals can ignore my words together.
But, an individual ignores a small lord?
It is impossible.
“…”
Wilson’s eyes shook mercilessly.
His body was even shaking, as if he was embarrassed.
“Lord Wilson.”
“Did you call me? “Mr. Elwin.”
“Elwin?”
I asked again in a heavy tone.
“Do you have any inconveniences?”
“Call me again.”
“El… Ah! “So Youngju.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Sweet.
Brilda’s face stiffened at the mention of small lord.
Anger was expressed in each of her expressions and each of her movements.
At this, Wilson covered his mouth with both hands.
“Elwin.”
“Yes, mother.”
“Why did you bring the soldiers?”
“Because the place I live in is so rough. This level of escort is necessary. Aren’t I the Frontier Soyoung? Mother.”
No matter what Brilda thinks,
No matter what people in the world say,
Now, at this moment, I am Lord So.
This is a certain fact.
“I see. But, we can’t bring that many soldiers into the South Castle.”
“The soldier will remain outside. However, the escort mercenaries will go in together.”
100 Mercenaries.
It would not be possible to prevent up to 100 guards from entering the castle.
I didn’t listen to the answer and just took a step forward.
“Ah! “By the way, mother.”
“What else?”
“Do vassals these days even sew their mouths? “Everyone doesn’t say hello to Youngju Su even when they see him.”
Bril Dar nodded her head towards her vassals.
“Welcome. “Mr. Elwin.”
“Welcome. “Lord So.”
“Welcome. “Mr. Elwin.”
“Welcome. “Lord So.”
Even though the greeting was correct at the front, the titles at the end were all mixed up.
Some people called him Elwin, and some called him Little Lord.
Brilda’s face turned red with anger at that sight.
I enjoyed it and was driven by it.
“You vassals of the Frontier. Next time, unify the titles. To Soyeongju.”
