Getting Married Without My Badge

Chapter 16

Private ship.

A masterpiece of the Adbello family, and a rare weapon created by mobilizing all the magic and technology of the Adlabor Kingdom.

There are not many known military weapons.

However, the performance of the private ships was somewhat spread by rumors.

It can even dive, until it sinks a large ship with the small bullet it is equipped with.

It was a treasure that could only be coveted by neighboring kingdoms to say that it was equipped with a technology that could not be detected even by the radar network.

However, the Adbello family treated such a dazzling masterpiece as ‘incomplete’.

“Of course it’s incomplete.”

And Lieutenant General Leto Oceanus, who was the first to operate a private ship, also habitually said the same thing.

“When I first wore it, I thought I was carrying a house.”

“It was twice as heavy as it was now.”

“If I hadn’t met the General at that time, I would have been fish food.”

“If you just said you’re sorry it didn’t work out, get down on your own.”

As much as the technology has gathered, and as much as it is a military weapon.

Private ships boasted enormous weight, which prevented them from being commercialized.

The royal knights, unaware of this fact, realized that as soon as they picked up the protective gear.

And as soon as they put on the protective gear, they started sweating.

Eventually, as soon as they got into the sea, they sank shortly thereafter.

“…Are they dead?”

Lieutenant Colonel Ice glanced at the knights scattered like wet laundry.

“Check who’s alive.”

Just then, a sergeant nearby touched them with his foot.

“Ugh…”

“Haha!”

Lieutenant Colonel Ice laughed softly.

“Luckily he didn’t die!”

The lieutenant colonel stroked his chest.

“Hey, this is…”

Sir Perata, whose red hair, which had been turned over nicely, had become a mess like a stalk of seaweed, asked while panting.

“Hey, was it on purpose?”

“What?”

“Hey, this, cough! Harsh…”

“Did you think this is an act of cruelty?”

Lieutenant Colonel Ice gasped and clapped his hand. Then he pointed to the crew chattering behind him.

“Ugh, my feet hurt…”

“Then change it later.”

“…How do I change a foot!”

“Can I go eat dinner, Noah?”

“Stop looking at me like that.”

“But you love me!”

The members of the Special Forces were drying their wet bodies in the sun without showing any difficulty.

Some of them were still wearing the protective gear.

“…”

The complexions of the knights, which had become pale from drowning, became more hazy.

The navy officers even rescued them from drowning in protective gear, and then went on to do their share of training again.

“Look, everyone is fine.”

Lieutenant Colonel Ice shrugged his shoulders. The knights’ faces heated up at that attitude.

“If you are a Special Forces member, this is a constant training exercise. We do it with more weights on our legs.”

Originally, the formal training was to go to the middle of the sea on a boat and swim to the port here.

“So I’m glad we didn’t.”

“…”

The knights’ faces burned with shame.

‘Shit…!’

Sir Perata cursed inwardly.

Since then, they have been proud of their skills in the Royal Knights.

There was no one as strong as them, unless a being who deals with the “aura” in the legend appeared.

But now, their condition was only miserable.

‘We have to find out the information at any cost.’

‘This exchange may be the only opportunity.’

Sir Perata clenched his teeth.

To find out about the private ships, it seemed that he would have to use a different method.

“…”

“…”

Noah and Lieutenant Colonel Ice both looked at Sir Perata.

“Welcome to the South, Sir Delat!”

“It must have been difficult to come.”

“Come on, here’s another bottle!”

While the knights were drinking the salty seawater.

“After all, alcohol in broad daylight!”

Under Leto’s leadership, the naval generals had been gathering since broad daylight and having a drink with Sir Delat.

The place was a bar known only to people in the South.

The name of the place was ‘Acorn’.

“This kid…!”

And Laxo, the owner of the bar, grinded his teeth at the checkout counter.

“Because of you, I’m open in broad daylight even on holidays!”

“It’s good to make money.”

Leto leaned against the cashier’s table and scribbled his signature on the checkbook.

Then he tore up a single sheet and handed it to Laxo.

“… Leto Oceanus.”

Laxo’s hand trembled as he received the check.

“The guy who said I’d make money, give me a check in the Navy’s name?”

“Then should I give something in my name?”

“Of course! That way I won’t be ripped off!”

“That’s why I’m such an honest soldier…”

“Since when are soldiers who drink in broad daylight considered to be honest?”

Leto’s check was anonymous. But Laxo didn’t have the courage to overstate the price here.

Aside from this, there was something else that bothered him.

“Why is the Chief of Military Service here?”

The drinking party, which started in broad daylight, was not awkward, but rather friendly.

This was because there was one person who dedicated his body to raising the mood.

“My mother in heaven tells me to drink! How? Mother’s supreme and noble grace descends! Shalalalala!”

It was Colonel Benedict who showed off his brilliant bombshell tricks.

He was the chief of the military service, which helps the religious life of the soldiers, and was famous as a faithful believer even within the headquarters.

And he was more famous as ‘the cutie at the drinking party’.

At the same time, Colonel Benedict put a glass of wine on each side of the beer mugs that were on the table, and showed a trick of snatching them away.

“Aigoo, the chief of the military service is doing well!”

“Colonel Benedict is the best!”

“This is the ‘mother’s grace’ that I have only heard of through rumors!”

The generals smirked like young boys.

A satisfied smile spread across Leto’s face as he watched this.

“He doesn’t disappoint my expectations.”

“Oh my…!”

He closed his eyes tightly as if he had seen what Laxo couldn’t see. His hand, as he hurriedly wrote his name, trembled.

Laxo cursed with his eyes.

“I don’t drink like that.”

“But you’re a drinker.”

“If I talk to you, I want to jump into the sea for no reason…”

Taking a deep breath, Laxo glanced around the noisy interior.

“…So, who?”

A twinkle flashed in the purple eyes that were full of annoyance.

“The one who came here with the knights the other day?”

“Have you gathered anything?”

“It’s not like you came here for other reasons.”

After leaving the cash register, Laxo headed towards the display case decorated with expensive alcohol.

And he shoved his arm behind a bottle of liquor with a large sail.

“Well.”

What he pulled out from behind was a bunch of messy papers.

“Don’t claim it’s dirty.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Leto shoved the documents into a nearby yellow envelope and folded it in half.

The envelope inflated to double in an instant, but it was held firmly in Leto’s grasp.

“Yeah, but-”

Laxo, who had roughly finished the main topic, returned to the cash register and asked.

“Are you going to meet that girl again?”

Leto only smiled without meaning.

“… I don’t think I ever asked you to look into that?”

“This is the sad part of the information.”

By collecting as much information as possible, you will discover things you do not want to know.

One of the most distasteful pieces of information was his friend’s love story.

“She’s too precious for you.”

“I know that better than anyone.”

“If you know, let her go…”

Laxo remembered Noah’s face he had met a few times before.

For her to be in the south, she was a rare beauty even in the capital.

Besides, she had outstanding skills, so she will surely become a big talent in a few years.

“…”

Leto, who had only patted the envelope, remained silent.

However, he could not hide the sad feelings behind the laughter.

“…I must be a real bad guy.”

Laxo noticed and stuck out his tongue.

“Poor girl.”

“Okay, okay.”

Leto smiled happily this time with sincerity.

“But she still loves me like this.”

“…”

Laxo just shook his head.

“…!”

Clare glanced out the window.

“What’s the matter?”

Lily, who was reading a book next to her, tilted her head. Her hair, which was tied in two ponytails, swayed along with it.

“…I suddenly got chills.”

Clare ran her hands across his arms with both hands.

“Well, umm, so…”

After pondering for a moment, Clare came up with an expression that suited her perfectly.

“It felt like a pervert was aiming for my sister!”

“What?”

Lily tilted her head once more.

Clare, on the other hand, looked around with a very serious expression, as if she was right.

Then, the short-haired Sensha, who felt her gaze, approached her.

“What’s up?”

“I think something is going to happen to my sister!”

“Why?”

“My senses say so! A woman’s intuition warned me!”

At Clare’s words, Sensha’s eyes widened.

“…A woman’s intuition is enough evidence!”

Forgetting that it was her reading time, the little ladies started chatting with their little heads together.

“Does Miss Noah have a man?”

“There’s a guy who’s chasing her because he likes her.”

“Oh my gosh!”

“Oh my god, what to do!”

Clare clenched her chin with one hand, hinting at her troubles. Sensha and Lily shook hands.

“What kind of man is he?”

“He’s alright. But he has a bit of a problem inside.”

Clare said seriously, saying, “I think he lost a little bit of his personality.”

At those words, Lily and Sensha put sad expressions on their faces.

“Still, he has a higher rank than my sister, and he earns more money.”

Clare recalled the white wine Leto had bought last evening.

It must have been expensive considering Ash talked about it until she went to bed that day. Read only at pm tl.

“Huh? Is he a soldier?”

Lily let out a sad sigh.

She also noticed her mature and caring expression that was not her age.

“Ugh, what to do?! Marrying a soldier is difficult.”

“Yes, my mom told me not to marry a soldier. Dad’s a soldier, but she said the same thing.”

Sensha agreed.

“But he’s really handsome.”

Clare emphasized again and again that he was so handsome that his eerie inside was forgiven.

“He was the prettiest person I’ve ever seen!”

“Hey, the face isn’t everything.”

Sensha closed the book she was reading, telling her to look at reality.

“Look at my aunt. She got back together with the man because of his face. My mom and dad bet on when she’ll get divorced, and my mom won again.”
