Chapter 89
Lee Han brought Levi home.
Rather than taking him somewhere else his base would be the safest…
Also the biggest reason for bringing me here is…
“Let’s talk while having some tea!”
“Thank you maid.”
“you’re welcome! “Please rest in peace!!”
“···yes·”
“lol·”
The presence of Laira Winter a maid who energizes the viewer.
Levy decided that just having her there would bring relief to her heart.
Layla took a step back radiating her vitality like a human vitamin.
Moreover she took a step back and said ‘Cheer up knight!’ She pursed her lips and even winked.
Radiating such positive energy is an ability that not even an Auror user can replicate…
Sure enough…
“I think Maid Le Leira is amazing · She is always positive every time I see her and it seems like she can read other people’s minds ·”
“She’s highly overrated. My opinion is that the maid is just innocent and without any thoughts.”
“That might be true…”
Levy regained her vitality as if photosynthesizing her Leila’s positive energy ·
She can’t help but be a positive sign ·
what·
“Aiko!”
··· She shouldn’t absorb that side of herself but…
As she took a step backwards Layla fell down with an audible sound and a crashing sound was heard destroying a table that Lee Han had recently been making as a hobby.
If it were someone else he might have been more worried about her getting hurt than his things but Lee Han wasn’t that worried.
“How?! Sir! This is broken hehe…”
“It’s nothing new so please leave it alone. Are you hurt?”
“?”
“···My body is strong so I didn’t even realize that I was going to get hurt.”
“Ehehe…”
“···Just stay healthy always· I will be satisfied with that from now on·”
“Hehe neeng!”
She was a cheerful maid who seemed to be wagging her tail like Lee Han and her gold retriever who seemed to be familiar with the expression of calm worry and the girl who saw this was ·
Wow!
“····”
“I’m sorry! “I didn’t laugh for the sake of laughing…”
“No it looks good… Smile… When people want to smile they should smile so they don’t get sick…”
“That’s it…”
“Have you cried now?”
“!!?”
“Haha I like teasing you…”
“You’re doing this too much…”
Levy’s face turned red and her voice became louder and Lee Han kept urging her to smile.
Please feel free…
‘I feel a bit more alive now…’
After all people should cry a lot when they are having a hard time…
That way you’ll feel less sick…
‘thank god·’
Relieved at the same time
When I first found her she was a girl who was in tears or on the verge of death…
When I looked at it I felt so pitiful and sad that I couldn’t just leave it alone.
I was worried that I might make a bad choice…
The girl’s condition today was that serious…
‘You should never send it now…’
During his previous life as a non-commissioned officer one of the most painful memories he experienced was none other than a suicide attempt.
Group bullying or beatings among soldiers
Depression caused by failure to adapt to military base
Feeling deprived of freedom for two years
Due to these various factors stress exceeded the limit and many people chose extreme options.
Lee Han once worked to look after such people.
Although this was also an unreasonable task Lee Han took on the task with passion for the first time in the military.
I didn’t want to see those who died in front of me and I hoped that they would endure a little longer and return to society.
Thanks to this such unfortunate incidents were somewhat eliminated in Lee Han’s unit.
···And now·
‘It’s been a while since I received mental care…’
There is a girl who shows particularly serious symptoms…
It’s breathtaking…
I think this is what a candle is like when you don’t know when it will go out.
And he didn’t want to watch his beloved student helplessly give up everything…
“Levi…”
“yes? “Oh yes!”
“Why are you so surprised?”
“I think it’s rare for Master Sa to call me by my name…”
“Does it seem awkward? “Then I’ll call you Gomsun.”
“You can just call me Levi…”
“okay? Then please feel free to call me.”
“yes····”
Is it because on rare occasions he not only calls me by my name correctly but is also kind?
Levy blushed as she reacted showing her embarrassment ·
Maybe it’s not because I just called my name but because it’s my first time having someone call me by my name at such close range so I’m embarrassed.
This is a truly rare and pure child.
Isn’t she literally a ‘girl’ who is only an adult but still oozes innocence?
···To put it on the other hand that is why it is so dangerous·
Because I am in an anxious state and need to be protected by a society where I have not yet become an adult I am like a glass that will break at any time.
Therefore Lee Han approached cautiously but with firm determination.
“From now on if you have a hard time answering what I say you can just answer with ‘yes or no.’ Or you can just nod your head lightly. I will interpret it well and understand it.”
“Oh no there’s no need to do that…”
“Is it your true intention to drop out? Or is someone trying to force you to drop out?”
“!!!”
“Look it’s already hard to answer isn’t it?”
“····”
“Okay no need to nod. Just listen.”
Lee Han quenched Layla’s thirst with the black tea she served.
It seems like he’s planning to speak in earnest…
“I can’t boast that I know everything about you but I know this one thing: You are not the kind of person who gives up on learning without any reason.”
“····”
“I know that there is something going on… I know that the conclusion I came to after struggling and worrying alone was to drop out of the academy… But… You must know that enduring the pain alone even though it is unbearable is nothing more than torturing yourself…”
“···I am…”
“Again if it’s difficult for you to talk you don’t have to talk about it. I just want to know your true feelings because I feel like you’re suffering alone.”
“····”
“But if I were to give you one piece of advice as a senior in life it would be that sometimes just confiding in others can provide comfort.”
“···Master…”
“huh?”
“···Your speaking skills are uncharacteristically eloquent·”
“···Is this a compliment?”
“yes·”
Absolutely…
* * *
The Fault family was a family that produced many prestigious knights just a few generations ago…
Unfortunately it is said that most of the knights including the head of the previous generation died in the war with Britain decades ago and most of the martial arts and swordsmanship were lost.
It could be said to be a negative effect of the method of passing down the story only through word of mouth in the traditional way rather than storing it in records and as a result the legacy of the knight was virtually cut off…
As a result it became an embarrassing situation to even use the name of a knightly family.
A knight’s family must prove itself with its force and honor.
But since they lost their military power how can they claim to be a knightly family?
If it had not been for the title of war hero and even a small manor the Folt family would not have survived as a family.
With the remaining honor and title the previous matriarch of the Folt family…
– We will rise again! I will make it happen!!
It is said that they did their best to regain their reputation as a prestigious knight family.
···Not knowing that this is truly a futile effort that fails to face reality··
If the Folt family had acknowledged reality and acknowledged that it was over as a knightly family another path might have opened up.
Even if he had gone into civil service or something else he might have enjoyed a more stable life than if he had been a knight…
But…
“The art of fighting is a secret technique passed down through generations of improvement and in the case of swordsmanship it is a treasure that has been handed down from time immemorial and is most ideally embodied in the bodies of swordsmen. But to restore such secret technique and treasure? “If my grandfather had been a genius like Confucius he wouldn’t know it but my grandfather’s qualifications were acceptable. And even if you have decent qualifications you can never restore fighting skills and swordsmanship.”
I tried to restore my family’s fighting skills and swordsmanship by gathering all the wealth I had but the process was not easy at all…
Even if we try to restore it through the remaining records there is no one to advise us so is it going to be easy?
at last·
“-I went bankrupt.”
Yes the Folt family is bankrupt.
The Folt family who were self-authors even sold their titles and remained as honorary nobles who barely made it to the House of Nobles.
All of his assets were squandered and he only lived in a small house with his mother’s family.
It would be reasonable to say that he is no longer able to recover as a nobleman…
– It can’t be like this it can’t be like this!
My grandfather who failed to believe in reality and only proved his incompetence aged rapidly and passed away.
···And if things have gotten to this point it is no exaggeration to say that it is despair and the right course of action would be to acknowledge the reality and return the title of nobility.·
But that’s what humans are like…
They think they are different and they think they are smart but most of them…
– My father failed but I am different. I will definitely build my family!
Repeating the same mistake…
Levi’s father
The current head of the Folt family a man who was embarrassed to even be called the head of the family had a dream like that…
My dream of becoming a knight…
So my father Reynold Folt…
– It’s a business. First of all you make money through business!
– Once you have money…!
– This is it. Look at this Levy! They say it’s the legendary knight’s speculation method! I was able to get it for a lot of money!
···Reynold was a person without answers·
When you do business you don’t make money you create debt.
He said he would receive investment but instead his clothes were taken away.
They say they bought a speculative method but it is nothing more than a low-level speculative method worse than third-rate…!
He couldn’t help but be a truly astounding person…
A childish adult who does not know the world
That would be the correct sentence to evaluate the Reynold fault.
And if this happens is it a set procedure?
– Pay back the money you human!
– Hey nobleman are you kidding us?
– How long do we have to wait?
In the end it is the family that suffers due to shocking human mistakes.
This principle is the same in any world…
“My mother has already collapsed a long time ago. Fortunately my younger brother is in the academy’s dormitory. My mother’s family helped me. However it is not very positive.”
“Wouldn’t it have been better to completely rely on my mother’s family?”
“I couldn’t do that. My mother’s family’s circumstances aren’t good and I can’t cause harm to my father.”
“····”
“Whoa so-·”
At this point honestly any normal person would come to their senses…
Don’t you have children to feed?
I don’t even think about making money…
I wish I could just stay still…
– Les Levis Ho will you ever get married?
He asked for my wife…
And Levi saw…
The gold bracelet on his wrist and the sword decorated with brilliant decorations…
– ah·
He said he had been sold ·
“-It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t upset· Still I decided to think positively· Having a goldsmith means that other families can now live in a slightly better living environment·”
“····”
“Also it is true that she is a good marriage wife… Even though the Marquis is a bit older she is Tristan… It is not bad at all… While noble ladies are trying hard to find a good marriage partner I…”
“····”
“I… um why? “Master why can’t the words ‘I’m okay’ come out of my mouth?”
“····”
“Right Master why can’t I say this simple thing?”
···He remained silent in response to Levy’s quiet question…
He deliberately did not provide an answer because he thought the girl already knew the answer to that question.
That shows how painful it is to have his wings broken and his ankles tied…
‘···It’s so cruel…’

“····”
Lee Han left Levy in the care of Layla for a while and headed to the cliff in her backyard.
It was a quiet place with few people.
Did you come this far because you were frustrated?
no·
Or is it because you are filled with anger?
That’s not it either…
The reason he came to a place where there was no one nearby…
“Let’s ask some questions…”
“-Yes…”
Jerbuk·
It was to meet him…
As soon as Lee Han threw a question into the air a gray-haired boy appeared…
Lee Han already knew that he was nearby and Derek was already expecting that if he was waiting here he would call him.
I can roughly guess what you’re curious about…
Sure enough the question that came out of his mouth was…
“What happens to her in the ‘original’?”
“····”
“Hmm it doesn’t matter if you pretend not to know… I’m not pressing you for an answer so I just suddenly became a little curious…”
“haha····”
I guess I’ve given up on hiding it now…
Derek laughed while talking to himself like that.
But Derek wasn’t dissatisfied…
Because he knows that the things he is curious about are extremely ‘human things’…
So he…
“You need to know that this is just talking to myself. I’m just talking to myself.”
“…Okay let’s do that…”
“Keuhum…”
I decided to tell you [spoiler] about what I was saying to myself…
“─The Marquis takes poison and is on the verge of death· And Levi Folt is framed as the main culprit·”
“····”
“Do you want to continue listening?”
“Umm…!”
For the first time in a while Lee Han missed his hometown food.
Maybe it’s because of the spicy taste that hit me right away but I wanted to drink the cool Dongchimi soup rather than carbonated drinks…
