53 – Episode 53 Gibson’s Coming of Age Ceremony
“Elwin Frontier is entering!!”
Gorgeous decoration.
Beautiful music.
Even the delicious smell.
Various sensations were conveyed through the five senses.
‘It’s different from when it was me and Elena.’
I can’t believe they prepared this much for Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony.
Jeobbuk. Jerk.
I sat down at the table with my subordinates.
There were many valuable foods that were difficult to find in Ireland.
‘Are these ingredients… Brought from the continent?’
I slowly ate my food and looked around.
The person who stands out is,
Viscount Frontier.
Brilda.
Gibson.
Venia Vampires.
Alencia Vampires.
Many people flocked to Gibson, the main character among them.
‘We can’t leave Brilda to her will.’
Sent a signal to Russell,
The subordinates began to talk.
The topic of the story is,
Ballista.
There are some things Irish people cannot do without.
That’s right, a weapon.
Starting the story of Ballista,
People gathered one by one.
“Did the ballista at the entrance to South Castle belong to you, Elwin?”
“Yes.”
“Oh… Where did you live?”
“I made it myself.”
When I heard that I made it myself,
Disappointment was evident on people’s faces.
Because it is not difficult to make a plausible model of a ballista.
The key is protest.
The performance of a ballista is determined by how strong and elastic the string is made.
“Oh my. This.”
“Performance will not be good.”
“It’s a shame.”
The moment people are disappointed and about to leave,
One name was brought out.
“Deve. DeVe made it.”
“Deve?”
“Who is Deve?”
All eyes focused on me again.
“I am a slave purchased from the continent.”
“Well…”
“Slave…”
“There is no way a skilled craftsman could become a slave…”
They were disappointed again.
“By the way. That DeVe is not human.”
“You’re saying you’re not human!?”
“What do you mean by that?”
Unpacking the information one by one,
People were not allowed to leave.
As people continued to gather around me,
More and more people came in, feeling curious.
“Debe is…”
“What about Debé?”
“Who on earth…?”
“I am a mixed race of human and dwarf.”
“Oooh!!”
“Dwarf!!”
Those who were disappointed when they heard that they produced it themselves cheered.
Dwarf is three letters.
“Elwin, can you see the performance of the ballista?”
“Elwin, how many ballistas do you have?”
“Elwin, how many units can you produce per month?”
“Elwin…”
“Elwin…”
“L…”
As if you were at an auction house,
People talked non-stop.
I slowly shifted my gaze,
I saw Brilda in the center of the banquet hall.

‘That guy…’
Clink.
In a moment of force, I broke the glass.
“Ma’am, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, so get it sorted out.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Tell the maid,
I raised my head again and saw Elwin.
But.
‘Are you laughing? How dare you say this is funny.’
Who is today’s banquet for?
Who is the main character of the banquet?
Why did he spend time and money preparing a banquet?
‘There is no courtesy, there is no honor, there is no dignity.’
There are basic rules at a banquet.
The intention of the organizer must be respected.
The purpose of the banquet is Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony,
Gibson’s…
“Huh… Hu…”
I breathed slowly.
This is not something that can be solved by getting angry.
Anyway, Elwin’s status as a minor lord ends today.
I will never behave in such an arrogant manner again.
If you do that, you will die.
Brilda smiled deliberately.
To show it to Elwin.
The people gathered around Elwin are not important people.
The key is the two princesses and the minor lords.
I moved my gaze leisurely.
To the table with Benia.
But.
‘Why… Are you looking at Elwin?’
Venia was looking at Elwin.
Elwin, not Gibson.
This time I saw Alencia on the other side.
Alencia sits quietly as if she is not interested in anything happening here.
Yes. It’s better that way.
At that moment,
Alencia slowly raised her gaze, and she glanced at Elwin.
Then she stared straight ahead again, expressionless.
‘What is it? ‘Maybe you just saw it because it was noisy?’
“Hmm. After…”
She took a deep breath and calmed her mind.
Because I cared about Elwin, I overinterpreted her simple actions.
“You can’t become a lord anyway.”
Is Elwin the lord?
It is absolutely impossible.
Elwin began farming with the blessing of the goddess,
Buy slaves to expand the land,
Bring in mercenaries to gain military power,
Even if you develop a mine.
Never.
Elwin.
So Yeongju.
It cannot be done.
That is blood.
It’s because of lineage.
Let’s think about it up to this point,
My racing heart calmed down.
Brilda slowly raised her glass and drank the drink.
Pedigree.
Magical talent is transmitted through blood.
I saw the two princesses once again.
Benia and Alencia with blue hair.
Originally, the hair of the Duke of Vampires was red.
The color changed to blue over the generations.
With him, powerful magical talent also disappeared.
Then what about Elwin?
He has blonde hair, as befits Frontier.
‘Are all blondes the same blonde?’
What’s the point as long as the color is the same?
I don’t really have any significant magical talent.
The lineage has already not been passed down to Elwin.
If it was passed down, there is no way that magic could not be used.
But you are handing over the lordship to Elwin?
The lineage was cut off?
Elwin’s children can’t use magic, right?
Bril Dar looked at her husband standing next to her.
Brilda thought.
Her husband would also be like her.

Viscount Frontier was not used to banquets.
He was alone with his thoughts rather than hanging out with people.
What on earth is Frontier?
Is it a frontier to spend one’s life only in the battlefield?
He saw his son Gibson.
If Gibson becomes a lord, he will live the same life as himself.
He learned magic when he was young,
The cursor will fight monsters.
Until the moment of death.
Is Frontier okay as is?
Are you on the right track?
300 Years ago.
Humans settle on Monster Island.
The first Duke of Vampires selected four wizards.
First Viscount Frontier (Land)
First Baron Aquano (Water)
First Baron Aer (Wind)
First Baronet of Kent (Bulle)
Excluding the first Duke of Vampires, they were the most magical among humans.
300 Years later, what is it like now?
The Vampires family cannot use magic.
The same goes for the Kent family.
So are they ruined?
The Vampires family protects their territory with enormous assets accumulated since their ancestors.
The Kent family developed swordsmanship skills instead of magic.
The lineage becomes increasingly lighter.
As long as a man and a woman meet and have a child, this is an unchangeable fact.
The same goes for the Frontier family.
The reason why the territory became increasingly narrow is,
This is because magical talent decreased from generation to generation.
Perhaps today is an important moment that will determine Frontier’s 100 years.
I reorganized what I had thought about dozens of times while coming here.
‘When others think 10 years from now, I have to look 100 or 200 years from now.’
Move your gaze,
I saw Elwin surrounded by people.
If we look 100 or 200 years from now,
Elwin’s farming ability is of little value.
Because it is an ability blessed by the goddess, it is not engraved in her blood.
But the population is different.
From Noble mtl dot com
The increased population will continue to enrich the Frontier territory.
The same goes for recently developed mines.
If Frontier needs to change,
Now is your chance.
Viscount Frontier stood up.
And then he climbed the stairs so that people could see.
“Thank you to the distinguished guests who attended my son’s coming-of-age ceremony today.”
The noisy venue has been cleared up.
“I know what meaning the Irish attach to this coming of age ceremony.”
The rumor about who will become the Frontier Little Lord is,
It was even heard from the front line of the battlefield.
“So, I will definitely announce it at a gathering of distinguished guests.”
I watched Brilda and Elwin sequentially.
Brilda’s face was colored with joy.
On the other hand, Elwin was calm.
“The minor lord of the Frontier is Elwin. This has been decided a long time ago. “It will continue to be that way.”
**

‘What is it? Why?’
The first thing I looked at was Brilda’s expression.
It could be her plan.
But, that wasn’t it.
Brilda’s expression right now was indescribable.
‘The promise I made with my father was that I would not change So Yeongju during Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony.’
While saying this, he clearly stated that he had not decided to become a minor lord.
I did, but
‘I am the Little Lord and will continue to be so?’
After my father’s firm declaration,
The first to move were the Frontier retainers.
They came to see me and congratulated me.
“Congratulations, Lord So.”
“Lord So, please take good care of your territory in the future.”
“Lord So, please return to South Castle now and teach successor classes…”
The next person to move was Benia.
She approached with Aquano and Little Lord Aer.
“Congratulations, Elwin. “You’ve been through a lot of emotional distress, right?”
“Thank you.”
At Benia’s glance, the barons and small lords also congratulated him.
“Anyway, congratulations.”
“It’s not a bad thing for us. “After breaking off the engagement, you can maintain your status as a small lord.”
And the last person to move was Alencia.
She came only after the banquet was over.
