The fight between Yuri and Ibasten was fierce.
He swung his sword fiercely as if he was going to kill the opponent unconditionally.
Every time a merger took place, the inside of the office was on the verge of becoming a mess due to the wind pressure.
‘Yuri is slightly ahead. If you leave it like this… Yuri’s revenge might succeed.’
Then, while those two fight hard.
What was I doing?
To put it simply, it was reducing the variables in the fight between the two.
“Oh, Justia Yuri is back! Everyone help the matriarch!”
“Anyone who does not help is disobeying orders! “Hurry and help!”
The knights came after hearing the sound of the fierce battle between Yuri and Ibasten.
I was in charge of the role of gatekeeper to prevent them from entering the office.
‘The number is approximately 10 people… ‘I wonder if I can handle it alone.’
If it had been a wide battlefield, there would have been a high probability that I would have lost.
However, it was judged that even 10 people could do it by guarding the narrow door.
I pulled out the sword from my belt and shouted at Yuri.
“Yuri! I’ll take care of the door here! You focus on Evasten! Got it!?”
“Ah, okay… ! Damian… ! ㄱ, I will inherit the family… ! Well, instead, be careful not to get hurt… ! Don’t ever hurt me… !”
Yuri repelled Ibasten’s attack and poured out his worries to me.
If there is even a scratch on my body, it seems like all the knights’ heads will be blown off.
I decided to be more careful than usual.
‘Even though it is my body now, I can’t do what I want.’
My body has become public property.
I nodded and looked away from her, saying I wouldn’t hurt Yuri.
Then he gripped his sword tightly in preparation for a fight.
“… If there is someone who hurts my body. “Run away without looking back.”
“What are you talking about, intruder!”
“If you find out what it means, your life is already dead, so don’t regret it, just know it. “Whoever needs to run away, run away.”
Enough warning.
It seems like the drivers have no idea what I mean.
A question appeared in the eyes visible through the gap in the helmet.
However, that is only for a moment.
They held swords to fulfill their duties.
“… I don’t know what you’re talking about. “We must punish you.”
“You are the first people to reach this far. Those who rebelled against the head of the family did not all end well. We are… “I don’t want to be like those guys.”
It sounded like he didn’t like the act of helping Ibasten.
But, they can’t help it either.
In order to protect their lives, they had no choice but to try to save the tyrant Ibasten.
Of course there was no way I could just watch that happen.
“If you can, try it.”
Chaeeng-!!
“There are just too many talented people around me. “I’ve trained a lot since I was young, right?”
Is there any way to lose to a mere knight?
“You can never stop Yuri’s revenge.”
My goal is to help Yuri achieve complete revenge.
So, I started the battle with more than fifteen knights at the entrance of the office.
To make Yuri escape from her painful past.
***
‘Damian is for me… They’re fighting while blocking the door… I must never lose… ‘
Sweet-
Yuri wiped the blood from her cheek with her finger.
The wound healed quickly, and blood no longer flowed.
Ivasten frowned at that and asked.
“I don’t understand at all. When I tried to make you stronger, there was no result. “Why was it possible to grow more outside?”
To increase her recovery ability, she was poisoned and intentionally injured.
Yuri’s growth was slow, and it was difficult to even consider him a member of the Justia family.
However, during the short period of time he left the family, Yuri grew beyond recognition.
Ivasten could not understand the absurd situation that unfolded before his eyes.
“What on earth is the secret, Yuri? Is it that guy? “Is it because of that man that you became so strong?”
In response to Ibasten’s question, Yuri raised his head and checked his appearance.
Blood was flowing all over his body due to the numerous wounds on his body.
There were too many wounds, so the recovery ability was not properly displayed.
Yuri closed his eyes for a moment, then carefully opened his mouth.
“Well, it’s true that I became stronger thanks to Damian… Yes, that’s right… I became stronger thanks to Damian… “
“How? “What was so special about that man that made you strong?”
Ibasten expresses sincere doubt.
‘My father… You really don’t know… ‘
I feel resentful.
Kkwaak-
Yuri pursed his lips and clenched his fists as he muttered.
“Damian… Like my father… Don’t put pressure on me… He always praised me… “
“You grew up through something like that? “This is nonsense.”
“And… Damien didn’t call me a failure… No matter what I do… He praised me… The reason I became so strong… It’s all thanks to Damian… Therefore… “
Yuri held his sword forward and glared at Ivasten.
“My father must die by my hands…” I have to repay Damian… Because Damian trusted me, unlike his father… I inherited the position of the Archduke… You’ll be the right person for Damian… My father is no more… I want you to die by my hands… “
“… “I guess it was just for that reason.”
“It’s not just for me… It’s everything… “
Low self-esteem.
Memories of the past that tormented me endlessly.
Yuri wants to be free from those painful memories.
To repay Damien and become a suitable person.
I strengthened my legs and jumped into the air.
“The Grand Duke, who must protect the North, must not return to such thoughts!”
Boo!
Iva Sten swung her sword at Yuri, who jumped into the air.
Click!
The window of the office was broken due to huge wind pressure.
In the meantime, Yuri easily rose into the air once more, using Ibasten’s sword as a stepping stone.
‘It’s fast. ‘I’m hiding my lack of strength with speed.’
The Justia family in the north must be strong.
You must survive the invasion of the enemy country and protect it from going to the empire.
Therefore, only strong power should be pursued.
Because a weak person cannot survive in the North.
“… But in the end, I ended up being the weak one.”
Ivasten let his sword fall to the floor and gathered his strength towards the sky.
He knew he was going to die, but he never intended to die easily.
“… I don’t think I’m wrong, Yuri. “The North just had its ways.”
I am not at fault.
If I had to make a mistake, it would be that I was born in the North and could not adapt.
It was Yuri’s fault as it was a failure.
Ivasten repeated this to himself and rationalized his thoughts.
Then he cut the air, as if he was going to cut down the sky.
“It’s your fault for being born in the North, Yuri.”
Suddenly!!
“… “
“… “
With the sound of something being cut.
Tuk-
A dull sound was heard, as if something was falling from the floor.
Tuk-
Not once, but twice.
“… “
The winner, who had one of his arms cut off, picked up his head from the floor.
And then he muttered in an emotionless tone.
“From today… I am the Grand Duke of the North… “
Past.
Yuri, who had been beaten so hard by Ibasten that his bones were broken, was no longer there.
***
Revenge.
Most people say that the end of revenge is vain.
It is true.
At the end of revenge, there is nothing left.
At least for general people.
As you know, Yuri was not an ordinary person.
“D-Damian… ! My, I won… ! B, you killed my father… !!”
Yuri smiled with joy and waved at me.
One of his arms was cut off in the aftermath of the fight, but Yuri acted as if nothing had happened.
He held his severed arm to the injured area.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he gave me a gesture of joy with his arms.
“Ehehehe… I won… ! I’m not who I used to be, Damian… !”
“… “
Should I like it when I see that?
I felt confused, but I just waved my hand lightly.
Because I still had work to do.
I kicked the armor lying on the floor.
Kyaang-!
“Ugh… “
“Starting today, the position of the Grand Duke has changed. “Quickly put this can away.”
“… “
“Can’t you hear me? “You want me to clean it up quickly?”
If you don’t clean it up, Yuri might kill you for not following my instructions.
These children don’t even know that I am saving them…
Four tin can knights collapsed on the floor.
The drivers looked at each other for a moment, then carefully stepped back and moved the cans that had fallen to the ground.
‘Now the situation has been resolved.’
I immediately turned his head and looked at Yuri.
Memories of the past.
An environment that could not be chosen.
Yuri had no choice but to have low self-esteem.
Has she finally escaped that memory?
Yuri was waving her hand to me with a bright smile.
Holding Ivasten’s head in her hands.
“D-Damian… ! It’s a gift… ! I can finally give you a gift… !”
“… Put that head down first, Yuri. “I feel a little sick.”
“Ah, ah… I’m sorry… !”
Yuri threw Ibasten’s head away and quickly walked towards me.
The face was a mixture of relief and joy.
Although it looked a little confusing, it didn’t seem bad in the end.
‘Yuri’s bad past. She looks better than before because she broke that connection.’
But her mental state may be confused for the time being.
It would be better to stay by her side and watch closely.
I placed my hand on Yuri’s face and wiped away the blood from her healed wound.
“… “Are there any injuries?”
“Ugh, it’s not there anymore…” Feels good, Damien… “
“… “Then that’s a relief.”
No, should I really say that I am fortunate?
It was confusing though.
First, he gently stroked Yuri’s cheek and praised her.
“Well… I did it, Yuri.”
“Thank you, Damian… If it weren’t for Damian… Me, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything… All of this… Thanks to Damian… “
“What did I do? You did well, Yuri. “Don’t take the credit for it.”
“Oh, no… ! Well done Damian… ! Me, I haven’t done anything in particular… ! This was possible because Damien was by my side… ! It’s all thanks to Damian… !”
“… “
As expected.
Stubborn.
I had no choice but to nod my head in response to that unbreakable stubbornness.
“Okay… Think what you want… “
Then, Yuri’s face turned bright red.
“Well, so…” I hope Damian accepts it… !”
“What?”
“The title of Archduke… ! Well, Damian accepts it… !”
“… Under?”
What on earth is he talking about?
It’s not that easy to receive the title of Grand Duke even if it’s given to you.
‘No way, marriage… ‘You don’t think the same thing, do you?’
From Noble mtl dot com
Probably not.
When I think about it, Yuri’s face is red and the atmosphere is strange.
She feels like running away quickly before Yuri can say anything.
This is a intuition that has a high probability of being correct.
“Damian… With me… “
“Okay, sleep-“
Yuri’s mouth begins to open.
The moment when the situation I expected was about to unfold before my eyes.
“Hey, over there…” Yuri baby- No, Yuri matriarch… “
At the entrance to the office, a maid was bowing her head.
Yuri looked at her and her eyes turned cold.
“… What? Why are you interrupting Damien’s important time with me? You… I’m interested in Damian… ?”
“Oh, no… That’s not it… “
“… “Then what is it?”
“It’s a bit awkward to say this in a situation like this, but… When a guest arrives… “
“… Customer?”
“Yes, the customer’s name is…” Period Bluebell… no see.”
Period Bluebell.
‘Bluebell?’
How did he get here?
‘No way, when I heard in the letter that I was going to the North… ‘Did you come this far?’
The ability to execute is astounding.
After Yuri heard Bluebell’s name for a moment, she remained blank as if thinking.
She spoke, slightly twisting the corner of her mouth.
“… Chambermaid.”
“Yes, yes?”
“I’ll go now…” ? The head of the Grand Duchy of Justia… “
“Well, for now, that’s true, but… “
“Then, call me. That guest. You have to welcome me as the head of the family… Right… ?”
Yuri’s expression as he said that contained a slight sense of superiority.
‘No way… ‘
She is Yuri, who has suffered a lot from Blue Bell.
‘She suddenly gained power…’ She won’t do anything weird… ?’
She felt uneasy for some reason.
And, whenever I feel anxious like this, my expectations are probably wrong…
‘There won’t be any.’
I remember it wasn’t there.
Yuri became the head of the family, and after she succeeded, she immediately left to meet the family’s first guest.
Bluebell, who bullied him at the academy.
