Episode 3 You’re Late
“Are you looking for this?”
The main character of a voice that suddenly appeared.
He was obviously one of the gangs following Johnson.
But the problem is the pocket he is holding.
‘That’s my mother’s keepsake.’
It was evidently a leather bag containing the things he was looking for.
It was natural for Ian’s eyes to change.
“Give it up.”
A fierce voice rang out.
The opponent was startled by the voice and backed away.
However, Ian picked up the stick next to him just in case.
“Tell me again. Give it to me.”
The man inwardly hated the quietly shining golden eyes.
The golden eyes, which are rare even on the continent, were menacing as if they had met even a wild beast.
“Don’t do this, kid. I didn’t come here to fight.”
The man immediately threw the pocket at Ian’s feet.
“look. You kindly give it back.”
“!”
Ian kept his pockets open without taking his watchful eye on him.followed
But his eyes quickly became cold.
“Where are the things inside?”
I had no choice but to do so.
The inside of the pocket was empty.
It was a necessary tool in the future, but before that, it was the only thing that my mother left behind.
Ion, who lifted his sword, pointed his stick at him.
“It would be better to speak straight. If I want to walk on my own feet in the future.”
It was half a threat, but half sincere.
Although it was still a child’s body, there were also subjugation techniques learned over the shoulders of knights.
At least Johnson’s messenger. It wasn’t difficult to deal with such a weak-looking guy.
And whether the threat worked, he raised his hands.
“You said I have no intention of fighting. I’m just here to convey what the overseer has to say.”
“viewer?”
“okay. If Johnson wants to retrieve his belongings, tell him to come out to the plaza.”
Again, the culprit was Supervisor Johnson.
However, he had been brutally beaten by Ian earlier.
‘Are you going to call me like that? Is that also a plaza with a lot of villagers?’
This was a trap.
However, Ian looked rather smiling.
‘I know roughly what you’re trying to do.’
At best, it’s about running to the lord.
And the commander of the guard would support the soldiers and all he had to do was hit him.
Ion called his man with a cold gaze.
“great. guide me.”
Ian hid something behind his back.
Overseer Johnson, past and present, tampered with his mother’s mementos. He could never forgive him.
*
right at that time.
Johnson was bending hard.
“Hehehe. Do you like things, Lord?”
“okay. it’s pretty good The supervisor’s sincerity will not be forgotten.”
Young-joo touched the necklace brought by the supervisor with pleasure.
“Take the soldier you asked for from there.”
“I can’t raise my head to the grace of the Lord’s Hahae!”
“What is this between us? ha ha ha.”
At the laughter of the young man, Johnson laughed along with it. But inside he was swearing.
‘shit. Even with that alone, I would be able to hang out at the bar for a whole month.’
It was a well-hidden item, saying it was a keepsake of a serf who could not have anything. Johnson also barely found and stole something.
He should use such expensive things only to borrow soldiers.
At the very least, it was too precious to be offered as a bribe to a village chief rather than a lord.
But even for the sake of the supervisor’s face, this was absolutely necessary.
Youngju asked while fiddling with the necklace.
“You trust my supervisor and lend your soldiers, but what are you going to use them for?”
“I’m trying to fix a serf.”
The lord wrinkled his face.
“The supervisor borrows my soldiers for just one serf? How am I supposed to think of this?”
With those eyes, Johnson whispered to the lord with a serious face.
“Aww. Don’t talk. Lord. No matter what kind of trick he did, he became a different person overnight. Do you not hold a stick and rub against people, or do you not want to see blood?”
Even the lord was tempted to hear that he had crawled down even a large adult at the very least.
“It must have been the help of a witch in the forest. It is clear that he intends to ruin the lord’s precious harvest festival. It is necessary to dispose of it even for the safety of this territory and the scattered discipline.”
“Are you sure you’re a little kid? Then can’t you just knock it down? You must have been a recognized swordsman in a swordsmanship competition, right?”
“No… of course it is. He was using dangerous black magic, so he couldn’t use his powers at all.”
“It’s black magic…”
Johnson whispered to the lord so that the others could not be heard.
“I’m still in trouble with black magic in the Empire.doesn’t it hurt If the lord’s soldiers defeat him…”
He only spoke there.
However, the lord raised the corners of his lips sly.
“The reward might come from the capital.”
Johnson laughed too.
Of course, he didn’t mean to just say that.
‘Obviously, Ian changed overnight. The witch story may not be a joke.’
He was so weak and weak that he was often the object of wrath by serfs.
But in one night, he had a cold, devout look in his eyes.
I don’t know if it was a fight between the serfs or if it changed because of the theft of my mother’s belongings.
‘It must have been the black magic that I had only heard of. Otherwise, there is no way I can have a crush on Ian or anything like that.’
And the lord, realizing Johnson’s plan, fiddled with his necklace. In fact, lending soldiers was not a problem.
Punishing a rude serf is a natural right as a lord.
Plus, if things go well, you’ll get extra income.
just as expected.
“Now there are slave traders in our castle.”
“!”
The lord gave an evil smile.
“Isn’t it true that his looks are equal?”
“Of course. Surely the Lord will be satisfied.”
“They will have to be satisfied. if not···”
“Is there any possibility?”
Johnson slapped his chest confidently, and the lord slapped his knee and laughed.
“great. Then take as much as you can take.”
“thank you!”
Youngjoo burst out laughing while looking at his necklace.
“I love little kids.”
“Yes?”
“He said breaking kids bones is so much fun.”
The two men exchanged meaningful laughs with each other.
But Johnson didn’t see it.
‘This guy must be disposed of soon.’
Youngjoo’s cold eyes.
An overseer who manages a young serf, but is not upright, could never survive.
*
‘I also borrowed the soldiers of the lord.’
Arriving at the destination, Ian was looking around while kicking his tongue.
The square was already full of villagers and soldiers at the lord’s call.
Perhaps it was to prevent escape, soldiers were guarding each exit with spears.
But that wasn’t what was important to Ian.
‘I didn’t know that the lord would come out.’
Ian frowned slightly.
It was because the man next to the director and Johnson was the lord.
‘It was definitely not a good lord.’
Aren’t pretty women pretending to be good-natured, taking even those who own them as servants? Don’t they secretly sell the serfs to slave traders and get their money back?
Nevertheless, the reason I was able to continue to be a lord was because this place was more remote than I had imagined.
Anyway, it was obvious that such a guy was next to the supervisor.
As evidence of that, Superintendent Johnson shouted triumphantly.
“Today, this is your place, Ion! It’s not enough to even dare to speak to the overseer, to tarnish the lord’s honor!”
Ian let out a laugh.
“Okay. Where are your mother’s belongings?”
He didn’t have to wait for Johnson’s answer.
It was because the necklace was shining from the lord’s hand.
‘Have you already handed it over to the lord? Well, that’s why the soldiers must have been waiting.’
It was surprising that he even made it to the lord, but it didn’t matter.
Ian was relieved to know that his belongings were still within his reach.
After all, the nobles who possessed it were a faction of the 3 princes who fought persistently with him.
‘Considering that I owed the duke for finding it, and that my weakness was caught.’
Thanks to this, he also lost his cherished vassal to the 3 princes.
But in this life, he intended to set everything right from the start.
Ian, who doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it, said calmly.
“Give it back. our uhIt is the one and only keepsake of money.”
But he didn’t even get to his knees.
No matter how serf he is now, he is originally a person of royal blood.
I don’t know if I didn’t know
I couldn’t get down on his knees until I found out who he was.
Then Johnson shouted.
“What kind of safety is this now! Can’t I get down on my knees right now!”
Ion just looked at him coldly.
Youngjoo looked at Ion as if curiously.
“Is that guy the serf you talked about?”
“Uh… of course. Lord.”
“Are your eyes too clear for a guy who used black magic?”
“That… that. First try attacking him. Then you’ll know right away. It is absolutely not a swordsmanship that a serf would use.”
The young man stroked his chin.
It didn’t matter if I didn’t use black magic.
‘You’re really pretty. Even a slave trader would be satisfied with this.’
Besides, he had rare red hair.
He was obviously going to get a high price.
And, perhaps reading the lord’s eyes, the captain of the guard moved immediately.
“Everyone hit it!”
The soldiers ran towards Ion. It was different from when I was fighting Johnson.
Unlike Johnson, who was bare-handed, they carried spears with dangerous blades.
Eventually, Ion clicked his tongue.
‘Even so, I never thought I would do this to a child.’
However, if you stay like this, you will only get hurt.
Ian quickly lifted the stick. Then he began to block the rushing soldiers.
Johnson screamed excitedly at the sight.
“Look at that! I’m not right. How could a serf use such swordsmanship?”
“indeed···”
Ian fought quite well.
Of course, he is a young lover, so he avoids attacks rather than attacks, but his skill at only the vital points was unusual.
The captain of the guard was panicked to the point of shouting.
“What are you doing with just one little kid! The Lord is watching! Do it right!”
But he realized.
Ian’s swordsmanship skills were not at the level that the soldiers in the countryside would face. The fact that even the chief of the guard himself could be beaten by him.
‘But if I go out and get embarrassed…’
The lord would never forgive him.
And while the captain of the guard mumbled. Supervisor Johnson got angry and drew his sword.
“What are you all doing! Can’t you see that Yeongju is angry?! stab your stomach! Just stab me!”
“But then you could really die…!”
“It’s okay now!”
“All right!”
But that was then.
widely
“!”
Is it because of being nervous? The lord’s necklace was slightly twisted because the lord unknowingly grabbed it too tightly.
Then the hidden space of the necklace was revealed.
The lord’s eyes widened when he saw it.
“Is this… this?”
It was because of the sentence that was revealed inside the necklace.
It is something that a mere serf should never have.
The lord almost dropped his necklace as the lord screamed in embarrassment.
“No, come on, wait! What is this, why…!”
Everyone was surprised and the voice was loud enough to see the lord. Even the soldiers stopped fighting and looked at the lord.
But that was the moment.
widely!
“!?”
Isn’t Ion taking advantage of the opportunity to approach the lord and grab the necklace from the lord?
The security guard next to him shouted in surprise.
“Lord!”
Ion smiled as he put the necklace safely in his pocket.
“It is well received.”
After achieving his goal, Ian immediately fell back.
He was going to leave this place without wasting time any longer.
Then Johnson’s eyes widened as he watched the scene.
“That little boy dares to belong to the Lord!”Johnson grabbed a knife and ran towards Ian.
Young-joo was embarrassed by the sight and shouted.
“Mmm, stop! Johnson!”
But Johnson didn’t stop.
Rather, he grabbed a serf nearby and pushed him away.
“ね!”
Pushed by the serf and fell, Ion quickly got up and stood up.
But he cowardly planned to stab Ian with a serf.
“Both die!”
No matter how much Ion, he couldn’t avoid it right away.
And Ian, who safely pushed the serf who had fallen over me, wanted to miss it.
He tried to grab the weapon right away, but Johnson was faster.
‘Damn this is really dangerous…!’
Johnson’s knife is right in front of his nose!
But he now had no escort to protect him at any time.
But it was that moment.
Scratch!
Something flew into the sky.
“Aaah!”
It was Johnson’s arm.
At the same time, someone’s voice was heard.
“If anyone moves even one more step from there, I will cut off both arms.”
sharp voice.
However, it contained a force that was hard to disobey.
But Ian knew for sure. That he was the one who came to pick him up.
With Johnson’s screams, Ian was relieved of tension with pleasure.
“You are late.”
Involuntarily, my heart came out.
[The Duke’s Knight] Gallon
because he had arrived.
