“Cassion.”

Ganien called Cassion, who was heading to Ruel’s room.

“What’s the matter? Do you have any inconvenience?”

“No, it’s not something like that, but I have something to say.”

“I don’t know what kind of grandeur you’ve been holding on to me since this morning.”

Cassion took the watch out of his arms and checked it. There were 10 minutes left.

Ruel informed Cassion to wake him up at 8 o’clock, so Cassion had to wake him up on the dot.

Instead of imagining his heart pounding if failed to complete the command, Cassion said.

“Keep it short.”

“I apologize in advance for being rude. Why don’t you join me? I don’t mind if it’s not right now. But later…”

“I refuse.”

Cassion cut it off with a single stroke.

Ganien, who suggested it, seemed to not understand.

“I suggested it because I knew the time you spent with Ruel wasn’t that long. But I didn’t know you’d say no at once.”

“Because you’re a guest here, I’m putting up with this displeasure.”

Cassion took a step without looking back.

“Sigh, what a waste.”

Ganien looked at his back and scratched his neck.

If he had met Cassion first, they could have teamed up.

The Lord, assassins, and raids.

The combination of these three things made the relationship between Ruel and Cassion so strange.

But it certainly wasn’t a close relationship.

‘…You mean there’s something strange about Ruel?’

In Ganien’s eyes, there was nothing special about Ruel that could capture Cassion’s heart.

No.

In Ganien’s eyes, Ruel was just powerless.

‘Did I see something wrong? Is there something else I’m missing?’

I thought it would be better to see Ruel again.

***

5 days later.

My eyes were filled by the red sunset.

The sky was really wide, standing on the ground with my two feet.

I kept my mouth shut because I felt something was going to rise up from the inside.

I did it.

I did it. I walked.

I walked over to the peak and smiled at Cassion who was behind me.

Cassion laughed all the way up to that point.

“Well done.”

“Honestly, I didn’t expect you to do it so soon.”

Ganien clapped his hands in admiration.

“Thanks to your help, I did it. Thank you.”

With a nod, I thanked the two.

“Mr. Ruel, please sit down for a moment.”

Cassion walked into the mansion with his mouth raised, to see what was so exciting.

I saw the backyard where Cassion had gone.

Ganien, who had nothing to do, pulled out all the weeds and revealed a wider open space.

I sat on the floor and inhaled my Breath.

“Sir Ganien, I’m sorry, but could you come over here?”

“I’ll get you up.”

When Ganien came next to him, I hit the floor lightly.

The attempt to win over Cassion was disgraceful today, but necessary.

Ganien sat down and asked, “Do you have anything to say?”

“What do you think of me?”

Ganien smiled awkwardly as if Ruel had read his mind.

“Did you happen to notice that I was trying to take Cassion? I didn’t know Cassion was such a light-mouthed person.”

“No, I just saw Sir Ganien’s eyes coveting Cassion. So what’s your opinion of me?”

“I think it’s great that you walked in such a short time, but honestly, it’s not interesting.”

At the very straightforward review, I laughed.

The evaluation usually gets overturned easily. Mostly at the moment.

“It would be a long way to the Royal Court, but would you mind staying here for a while?”

“I’m here for sightseeing, so I’m fine.”

“Are you going to look at the Kingdom of Leponia and decide on reconciliation or even an alliance?”

“Since I am here for sightseeing, isn’t it right to look around?”

There was a brazen conversation between each other. I pointed to myself.

“Then don’t look far and look at me.”

“……?”

“See how I get Setiria back, which is currently broken.”

The wind blew softly, stoking the fire to Ruel’s firm eyes.

“If you’re a lord, you know what the power of Setiria holds. The only entrance to the Kingdom of Leponia and the gate block to protect the country from the Masu Forest. Once Setiria is destroyed, the Kingdom of Leponia is over.”

My firm voice doesn’t sound so bad. Hmm

“Because you’re aware of that fact, you came to Setiria.”

Ganien’s eyes filled with embarrassment. But it wasn’t long before a smile came out around his mouth.

“I know that, so I have to use you.”

Ganien was beginning to like Ruel’s brazenness.

“I know all this, so I’m going to have to get Setiria back.”

The looks in Ganien’s eyes were pretty good.

Ganien laughed loudly.

Obviously, until a few days ago, Ganien didn’t know why Cassion was willing to follow Ruel.

But Ganien was sure of something today.

How can I hate him when he admits his weakness and does not feel ashamed to seek my help, and is working so hard for the people of the kingdom and not for himself?

Ganien is interested.

Ganien held out his hand even though he knew it was rude.

“The only people who can ask me such a brazen favor are my Highness, my parents, and my friends.”

I took his hand.

“Shamelessly ask, dear friend.”

“Puahaha.” Ganien laughed again.

It was fun to see Ruel calling Ganien a close friend without a change of expression.

“All right, feel free to use it.”

Ganien raised his mouth as if to provoke Ruel.

Originally, Ganien was supposed to visit King Leponia first, but now he decided to postpone his own task.

Because he didn’t want to miss the fun that was going to happen.

“Cough, cough.”

As soon as the sweat cooled down, I coughed.

I glanced at Ganien and reached out to him.

When he tried to hold my hand, I told him my demand.

“Lend me your cape. It’s a little cold.”

“……Huh?”

Ganien took off his cape even though he was dumbfounded.

Ganien felt uncomfortable cause felt like something was robbed.

“Give me a gift to celebrate our new friendship.”

“What?”

It was absurd, but Ganien looked through his belongings.

As I knew, among the goods Ganien received in return for helping merchants when he came here, he did not need goods, but I needed them.

So Ganien should give it to me rather than sell it elsewhere.

Ganien, looking through his belongings, held out a bracelet.

“Do you have a mind-reading ability?”

“Would I stay here stupidly if I did?”

“Right.”

I pretended not to hear Ganien’s gossip and received the bracelet.

The bracelet was tightly embedded with yellow gems and was dazzling, but it did not look as practical as it looked.

But it was necessary for him.

“It looks expensive.”

I shook the bracelet, pretending not to know.

“It looks shoddy. They said there is magic on it that makes you walk better. You don’t need to worry.”

“It’s something I really need.”

It was a necessary item rather than a weapon decorated with various magic for myself, who could not lift a sword.

“It’s something I don’t need.”

Ganien said as if he doesn’t need payment.

Can I?

The grace I received is undeniable, but the resentments I’ve received so far are unforgettable.

Ruel wore the bracelet. Soon, he felt something tickling his legs.

Is this what using magic feels like?

The tickling sensation went away, but I feel good.

“Thank you.”

I sincerely expressed my gratitude to Ganien.

“It’s not great. I can’t stand that burden.”

“You’re itching for a fight, aren’t you?” Have a match with Cassion until you leave.”

“That’d be great!”

Ganien answered without hesitation.

The word ‘match’ already sparked his eyes.

Before he was a knight, he loved to fight, as a swordsman.

It will be a better gift than any other.

“What is it? Without anyone involved.”

With a cane in his hand, Cassion walked.

“I got something good, so I have to give it back more than that.”

l shook the bracelet on my arm.

Cassion, who came to Ruel in no time, looked closely at the bracelet.

“It’s a shoddy bracelet. I’m unhappy that you received something like this and have a match with him.”

Cassion grumbled as he was frustrated.

“It’s something I need. It makes me walk better.”

“Oh, if that’s the case, that’s fine. I will fight hard, even if I am not good enough.”

Cassion bent down and stuck out his cane.

The handle of the cane, decorated in black, was silver.

“It’s my present. I thought you would need this in the future.”

“Thank you, I’ll use it well.”

It just so happens that I was thinking I needed a cane.

I thought the best thing I’ve ever done was signing Cassion.

I rose from my seat using a cane as support.

The lightness, length, and touch of the cane were perfect.

I felt something ticklish surrounding my body, so I realized that there was some magic.

I didn’t bother to ask because I thought Cassion would have hung it with decent magic.

I stood tall and looked at Cassion.

“I’m going home in two days. Make the slug come here with proper information.”

Cassion glanced at Ganiel and bowed.

“Okay, I’ll see the bones and let them come like dogs running.”

“I like it.”

“Cassion.”

Ganien called Cassion.

“You have to fight because your master has fallen out of words.”

“I’ll do it after I get Ruel.”

“No, I’ll be watching from here. I’ve never seen him fight.”

I wanted to know with my own eyes what Cassion and Ganien were capable of.

“You can get cold and have a fever.”

“I’m fine with this.”

The cape was quite warm, perhaps with a warm spell.

Cassion looked around, frowning for a moment.

“Sit over there, then.”

The place he pointed out was the very corner of the backyard.

‘This far?’

Before I could say anything, Cassion guided me to the spot.

“Raise your hand if you think you’re going to be shocked and strain yourself. Not only that but the condition again…….”

“Cassion.”

Cassion giggled lightly at the young voice of displeasure.

“I see.”

Cassion knew that no matter how much Ruel pretended to be an adult, he hadn’t even had an adult ceremony yet.

“It’s nice to see, but the body comes first. Don’t put up with it.”

I shook my hand instead of answering.

Cassion still giggles. As soon as Cassion turned his back and erased his laughter.

Cassion unfastened his suit and took out the dagger and saw Ganien.

Ganien smiled slightly at the momentum of Cassion

“You want me to kill you? Or do you want to kill me?”

“What are you talking about? You’re killing me when you’re fighting.”

As soon as Ganien finished talking, Cassion disappeared.

At the same time, Ganien’s sword moved backward.

Kkang!

Wind arose.

The two swords facing each other trembled slightly.

“It’s very hard to live.”

“Well.”

Whirl.

Cassion turned the dagger in the other hand and aimed at Ganien’s neck.

Ganien’s hair fluttered as he flexed his waist and leaned back his neck.

Ganien laughed.

It was a bloody blow.

“It’s fun.”

Ganien straightened his posture and raised his knees.

When Ganien’s knee came up to Cassion’s chin at once, Cassion quickly backed away.

But Ganien, like a hound, did not allow a single moment.

He chased and threw his sword at Cassion’s heart.

Shhhh!

There was no sensation in the hand even with the sound of air poking.

Cassion was not there.

Ganien immediately pulled the sword.

Kaang!

Two daggers and a sword struck.

Cassion’s hand fell out.

At the same time, Ganien’s sword was slightly turned.

Kaang!

In the ensuing clash, My mouth agape.

I heard something bumping into me, but I couldn’t see the two people’s movements properly.

Gulp.

I knew.

That they are now fighting purely by physical strength.

Whoosh!

Ganien’s foot, which blocked Cassion’s attack, was slightly turned off.

“Crazy, what can I do to dig?”

The two men’s offensive became more intense.

Even though it was just swinging and bumping, the wind intensified, and dust blew.

“I’ve slowly warmed up. Why don’t we really go now?”

“All right.”

I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but the moment I saw the light rising from their swords, I hurriedly raised my hand.

If they didn’t stop it here, I felt like the mansion would be destroyed.

While blinking, Cassion appeared in front of me.

And I saw Ganien.

‘Haha, look at the speed.’

Cassion asked anxiously.

“Are you all right?”

“My.. head hurts.”

My head hurt when I found out that I was involved with a monster on my own.

‘I chose to live. I can live, right?’

My complexion turned blue.
