Chapter 101
Lee Han’s expression was soured but funny enough the Marquis smiled as if he was having fun.
He was that serious…
sincerely····
“I want to make you my son.”
I didn’t mean to accept her as an adopted daughter like Levi did.
The true meaning of [Tristan]·
Surprisingly it meant giving him the castle of Tristan which boasts hundreds of years of history.
In other words it also meant giving a successor ‘qualification’.
“It’s not just about getting the qualifications… I currently have no children and there aren’t any brilliant people among my collateral relatives who can fully succeed Tristan. Bale is the most likely candidate but he ended up giving up all of his qualifications as a successor when he joined the Knights. · In that sense the moment you become my son you will be first in line to succeed! You can become the Marquis of Tristan! “After all where else would there be an opportunity like this!”
The only opportunity now…
It couldn’t be anything other than a sweet offer from the Marquis and no matter how cruel they may be their hearts will not be shaken and they will be satisfied…
Anyone with even the slightest desire for power and fame would be unable to refuse this offer…
“No I will seriously decline…”
“····”
“You might be wondering if I’m going to flip out so I’ll say it again… I really hate it…”
“…Aren’t we taking Tristan too lightly?”
“It’s extremely difficult to just call him ‘dad’ without being funny.”
“… That’s even more hurtful… Nobles are also people… Can’t you turn things around?”
“If I didn’t say it in an appropriate way I wouldn’t have been able to handle it…”
“···That’s too much·”
The Marquis’s expression became glum…
* * *
Although he said it jokingly the Marquis did not make the declaration of ‘son’ lightly.
‘···It’s really unfortunate… I thought it wouldn’t be easy…’
Because if he accepted he was seriously thinking of having him as his child.
If the senior members and elders of the family heard this they would have been astonished.
No matter how much you liked it personally how could you give the castle of Tristan to the stranger who invaded the Marquis?
However the Marquis thought his decision was not strange at all.
‘With a guy like this I think he can be entrusted with being a later writer…’
Tristan uses the name of a great noble but they have no [mystery]…
In the case of Tristan’s progenitor it is said that there were things like magic and magic but that line of history was cut off a long time ago.
Is it because of that?
To be honest Tristan has been through dozens of crises over the past hundreds of years.
Sometimes a foolish person who could not even become a master archer became the successor and there were many cases of rebellion by collaterals due to the lack of proof of the family head such as mystery or magic archer.
For example when Zenimia herself was young she left the family empty for a while and there were several cases where the middle-class and senior factions of the family fought and split in half.
If it had been Galahad and Lionel this wouldn’t have happened…
Because they had a mystery that proved their ‘absolute legitimacy’…
So…
‘The only thing that matters to Tristan is the name Tristan and his power…’
The potential to ensure that the surname Tristan will be passed down for hundreds of years to come and the overwhelming force that will encompass the entire family…
As long as these two qualifications are met it doesn’t matter who takes Tristan’s last name.
A nobleman says that ‘blood’ is important but that is a funny thing…
Except for the royal family the blood of most nobles has become thinner so what is the use of blood?
However if there are people who use that blood to find fault…
‘It’s enough to have a child with a woman from the sideline…’
Fortunately Tristan’s blood has excellent properties…
It may be because the first head of the family who became the founder gave birth to a child with a fairy but regardless of gender all children born are born with Tristan’s blood and as proof of this they are born with red hair.
So things like blood were minor issues that could be resolved.
···If someone heard Zenimia’s thoughts like this they would be dazed…
Anyway why would you go to such lengths just to get one knight?
But he will answer like this…
‘It’s totally worth it’ –
‘···This guy is a gem… and a gem that still has a lot of parts to work on…’
He knows he can win now ·
It might be a bit of a pain but it would be possible to kill him.
But that’s a story about ‘now’ later…
No what will ‘tomorrow’ be like?
‘Your momentum is more stable than when we met the day before. No matter how young you are how can you grow so rapidly? Hehe…’
So I look forward to it…
If this guy…
‘Maybe we’ll reach it…’
Like a brave gladiator in his youth…
Like a priest who was just a fanatic…
Like a woman called Dunjae she
That young knight might also reach it…
‘Auror user─·’
He gave up…
In a way it’s a far far-reaching state that I ended up giving up on.
Although the Marquis is not my son I had a desire to see up close the man I recognized reach that level.
Some people may say it is vicarious satisfaction but what about vicarious satisfaction?
Isn’t it an adult’s privilege to have expectations for young people?
‘I’m really looking forward to it…’
So for now just sowing seeds like this is enough…
what····
‘He’s just a fun guy to have around…’
The reason I wanted to have him as my son was not just because I wanted to get vicarious satisfaction but…
A young man who feels like you will never get tired of it if you look at it up close.
Zenimia did not understand the proposal to have him as her son.
Even now look at what a fun guy he is…!
“Well that’s too bad… Can you at least teach our knights how to walk through the air? “It will be worth the price.”
“Now the purpose has come! No not my students why are you teaching me my skills to other clans or knights!”
“Is that so? Hmm… I’m just saying this to myself but if you add up the prices of the doors building bricks marble statues etc. that some assailant broke down you’ll end up with 3000 gold coins… Especially since there are dwarven items among the damaged items the cost of restoration is even higher. I think it’s going to go up… I wonder if I should catch the culprit and ask him to punish him…”
“····”
“How should I ask you to ask?”
“…Don’t you need a way to walk in the snow without leaving footprints? “It is said that the answer is Muheun…”
“Uh-huh!”
Look isn’t he a fun guy just to look at?
The Marquis laughed cheerfully·
I wonder if it would be like this if I had a son who was funny…
* * *
“…You seem like a man with a bad personality…”
Lee Han looked dejected.
It would be less tiring to fight with fists and fight with swords but talking to a politician like a clumsy snake would be exhausting and exhausting.
An act that exhausts you mentally not physically.
It was a story that left me devastated in many ways…
Meanwhile…
“Aren’t you going to attend the closing ceremony?”
Lee Han who was dry washing his face as if to relieve fatigue sounded like he was muttering to himself and there was a slight tremor somewhere.
It was subtler than the tremor of branches shaking in the wind and it was a tremor that others would not have noticed.
But it wasn’t for him…
“That’s a bad habit. Always hiding and listening. If you catch it later you can get seriously hurt.”
It was like giving advice or like advice from a teacher and as soon as the advice ended…
“… That may certainly be the case… But I doubt that anyone other than the instructor will know that we are hiding here…”
Two human figures emerged from the shadows…
They were familiar guys and Lee Han looked at his two cadets as he finished washing his face.
Roen and Jack·
The two masters and servants faced Lee Han with bitter smiles and Jack scratched his cheek.
“I thought I hid well this time…”
“Yes you definitely hid well. How did you become better at hiding than at swordsmanship? “You’re not doing this to properly transition from a knight to an assassin are you?”
“···No I just have talent so my hiding skills improved even without practice.”
“That’s a truly unlucky statement…”
Anyway even though that guy was less noticeable than others he was also unlucky…
“···haha·”
Jack lowered his head as accusatory glances poured in and Lee Han glared for a moment before giving an intense gaze to the black-haired guy on the other side.
“Why is this guy who looks like he’ll just sit on a chair and watch and wait playing on the field?”
“I guess I don’t have the constitution to stay still.”
“That too is a disease…”
“Do you think the Marquis noticed that I was here?”
“He was probably the first to know… His senses were probably better than mine… I think he pretended not to know on purpose…”
“····”
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“···I thought the evaluation of the Marquis Zenimia was not bad considering that she rejected the offer·”
“Because the person himself is not an angular nobleman…”
“Then why did you refuse? A marquis would be a good supporter…”
“I have a lot of questions about other people’s business…”
“Aren’t you a disciple? I think it’s okay for you to be this crazy.”
“How much?”
The black guy seemed strange about his choice…
If I had just accepted the marquis’ offer I could have instantly become a representative nobleman of the royalist faction that represents a part of this country so I wondered why I refused…
Is it really just that I don’t want to call Marquis Zenimia my father?
To such a question…
“Oh really is that sweet?”
“····”
Lee Han answered lightly and Roen was speechless.
···Is that really all there is to it?
“You think a lot too…”
Lee Han gave advice that was not advice to his student who was a regressor but wasted his age.
“At this age am I going to ask my parents for pocket money? Or should I be cute? “At an age where getting married and having children isn’t enough what kind of parent are you?”
“I don’t think being the child of a marquis means simply receiving pocket money…”
“For me it’s that or that and you shouldn’t need a family for such philistine reasons. What’s important to a family is neither money nor power.”
“Then what do you need?”
“Loyalty and responsibility…”
“····”
It was an answer without hesitation and Roen’s eyes widened…
Either way he…
“That’s what’s important in a family. Husband and wife must maintain the loyalty they owe to each other. Children must also protect their duties as children and at the same time they must become a family with a sense of responsibility to maintain this relationship. People who become family for calculating reasons The ending is almost the same… There is only unhappiness for both sides… But that doesn’t mean they will always be unhappy…”
“····”
“Anyway in that sense the Marquis and I don’t have a relationship that makes us a family… I don’t need parents and on the other hand the Marquis isn’t a child he’s just interested in me and wants to raise me… like a puppy or a cat…”
Lee Han already knew that the Marquis did not make such a proposal simply because he thought favorably of him.
You must be greedy for your own power or something…
But I don’t feel bad…
Because I recognized that person’s abilities…
Isn’t it said that a man who knows his son-in-law will die for someone who recognizes him?
…It’s just that I’m not hungry enough to need someone’s approval…
So if he were a guy who was tired of the world or hungry for someone’s approval he might have jumped head first at such a suggestion.
‘Still it would be a bit awkward to live under that nobleman and make fun of him…’
He stuck out his tongue saying that just imagining it made him shiver.
“···From what I see that doesn’t seem to be the case…”
“what?”
“No matter how you look at it instructor it’s probably not a dog or a cat but a lion or a bear.”
“····”
“I wonder if it will tear people apart when it grows.”
He was a black-haired guy who made fun of his cheeky snout and Lee Han was faster than a horse…
“···Would you like to be beaten by the Arhat priesthood?”
“I don’t know what it is but I decline…”
“No I’ll decline…”
sticks out his fist ·
* * *
“-You’re going through a lot of trouble for secretly eavesdropping.”
The Marquis expressed his regret as if there was something he couldn’t ask about because of the wildcats secretly eavesdropping.
There was something I definitely wanted to ask…
So he got on the carriage thinking over his regrets…
“hmm?”
The Marquis paused for a moment as he checked a note stuck between the cracks in the door.
“Your Excellency is there any problem?”
“… What is the problem? Were there any people who came closer to the carriage?”
“Is it possible to draw it? There are so many soldiers guarding…”
“I see…”
“Why are you doing that?”
“No hehe…”
“??”
The Marquis got into the carriage with a bright smile and the person who appeared to be the butler tilted his head.
However the marquis did not answer the butler’s curiosity.
Instead I was just excited as I thought about the person who so easily broke through the troops and delivered the war message.
The Marquis was curious as to why the Marquis’ commotion the day before had been buried so quietly…
Now the question has been clearly resolved…
The knight he wanted as his son was…
“Heh heh you’re getting the favor of a dangerous person… Heheul…”
His name is not written but the dragon engraving on the red candle wax seems to reveal his identity ·
And what is written on the note…
[It’s mine don’t covet it]
Even a strong warning saying…
The Marquis shook his head.
And…
“Your Majesty the only person who can give orders to me or to Tristan is a king with great power… but you are not qualified to do so yet…”
Wow…
He just tore up the note with a heartless smile…
