Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Floria visited the lord’s castle of Count Phillips.

After Jenkinson and his attendants were polite, he led Floria into the lord’s castle.

Ray and Jimmy, who remained far away from the main gate of Yeongju Castle, looked at each other.

“No, Rei…!”

Jimmy looked at Ray’s chapped cheeks and smiled warmly.

“What kind of nobleman made your face like this?”

Rey patted her cheek and answered with a bitter face.

“This time, I’m going to be a servant of Sir Jenkinson.”

“Seeds? Are you talking about Squires?”

“Yes.”

“So you got hit in the face?”

“yes.”

“tt, 30 years ago, I heard that you used a club poultice for half a day.”

In the past, when appointing squires, they tied them with ropes and spent half a day there.

In the process, it is said that the strength of the squire gradually decreased and was replaced with a cheek.

Jimmy patted Ray on the shoulder, regretting the bad habit that had disappeared.

“Anyway… I don’t have to listen to Cheonmin anymore. Congratulations.”

“That’s it.”

In fact, there was no precise standard for dividing the common people from the common people.

If they had no background and had a low job, they would roughly group them together and call them Chunmin.

However, as Jimmy said, there was no madman who treated the Squire as an underdog.

When Jimmy looked very envious, Ray shut his mouth to tell the story of the honorary title.

‘If I tell you in advance, is it steaming?’

It would be more dramatic to go to the Count without knowing anything and hear the news.

Rey giggled inwardly and looked at Jimmy’s complexion again.

“But how did you come to be with the Osiris girl?”

“That’s it.”

Jimmy traced his arm and briefly explained what had happened in front of the memorial.

Jimmy laughed as Ray wrinkled his brows after hearing the story.

“I threw my sword at the nobleman and came back safely, so it’s a plate to thank for mercy.”

“No, that’s, haha…”

Ray scratched his temple.

Jimmy wasn’t wrong.

This is a class-based society.

Even if the nobles gave the cause, it was a felony for Jimmy to throw his sword without covering his back.

I’m glad it passed easily.

Rey patted Jimmy on the back, who must have suffered.

While Count Phillips welcomed Floria, the knights of both families met in the garden.

It was not an official event, and the purpose was to exchange greetings or exchanges during the remaining time.

There were a total of three knights dispatched by Osiris.

Leon, Mendes, Avencio.

Leon was currently guarding Floria, so Mendes and Avencio came to the garden with the seed.

Didier and Jenkinson, who were waiting at the lord’s castle, greeted them, and Ray stood next to them with a grim expression.

‘I have to stand out.’

After showing him following Jenkinson with his pierced cheeks bulging out, now he couldn’t say he wasn’t a squire.

Mendes, the knight of Count Osiris, before the refreshments, looked at Rey’s cheek and asked Jenkinson.

“Isn’t the child just recently appointed as a squire?”

“…Yes. I’ve just been appointed as a Squire today.”

Jenkinson looked into Ray’s eyes and nodded.

‘Please be quiet.’

Ray didn’t have an accident for no reason, but he was very uneasy about why he was sitting next to him.

Meanwhile, Mendes was estimating Rey’s age.

He looked like he was between 12 and 14 years old, but considering the recent trend of squire appointments getting faster, he was a little late.

Mendes reached out to Rey.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, Sir Mendes.”

After shaking hands, Mendes asked Rey.

“Are you a nobleman?”

“I am a commoner.”

“Then what family are you from?”

Mendes naturally continued the question.

This was not rude, it was a natural procedure, because there were very few cases of receiving ‘ordinary commoners’ as knights’ servants.

When a nobleman with a title has children, the title is passed on to only one of them.

When aristocrats without titles give birth to children, the ranks of those children are reduced to commoners.

Those who descended from the ranks to commoners were usually called ‘gentries’ and were treated as semi-nobles.

If a commoner-class child was appointed to a squire, it was usually a gentry class.

So, Mendes thought Rey was a gentry class, and asked about the family of his predecessors.

Ray shook her head.

“I have no family to raise. I was a child without a father.”

“Oh.”

Mendes, who burst out in an unreasonable exclamation, asked again.

“Then there will be a mother? What is your mother’s job?”

“Haha, you’re going all the way here.”

Jenkinson quickly cut the conversation off before Ray opened his mouth.

A cold sweat ran down Jenkinson’s forehead.

‘This bastard is the one who will reveal his mother’s job to be a prostit*te in front of him.’

Ray was not ashamed of Bella’s job.

For Rey, Bella was a sanctuary, and so was her job.

Jenkinson, who had seen Ray for four years, was convinced.

‘This bastard doesn’t care that much about his insults.’

However, if Bella was insulted, there was a high probability that her eyes would turn.

If Rey revealed Bella’s occupation at this stage, the knights of the Osiris House would have been slaughtered rather than being considerate of Rey.

Jenkinson wanted to pass the present moment as peacefully as possible.

“Even though he is a commoner, Irao has great talent.”

“You’re going to be miserable.”

Mendes didn’t hide his sarcasm.

Did you want to receive commoners? Since I couldn’t even find a gentry to serve as a seed under you, I must have reluctantly accepted a commoner of low-level origin as a squire.

It was a word full of such intentions.

“haha…”

Jenkinson kept a smile on his face despite being ignored.

Rei naturally grabbed the refreshments and clicked inwardly.

It was only natural that the Knights of House Osiris ignored the Knights of House Phillips.

‘That oath is the problem.’

The Phillips knights did not expose their skills recklessly to the outside world.

In protecting Titi, it was much more advantageous to hide her potential.

In addition, the territories with similar capabilities to the Count of Phillips were limited to operating only three expert-level knights.

The Phillips family maintained excessive military power in the meantime to keep the pledge.

Because of that burden, the territory had shrunk like this, so there was a high probability that the knights’ power would be greatly reduced if they deviated from the oath.

‘It’s amazing that this system has lasted 600 years, really.’

Is he also a descendant of a hero?

In any case, outside powers considered the Phillips knights to be half knights, at best settling as experts.

The Phillips knights, including Jenkinson, laughed at such insults for the rest of their lives.

Ray whispered in his ear to Jenkinson, who was smiling like a human being.

“Master, shall we rule out?”

“Please just shut up.”

Jenkinson was sullen.

Of course, Ray was joking.

There were a lot of things I bought and hit, so the evaluation was low.

In fact, Ray didn’t like to cause unnecessary trouble as much as Jenkinson.

As the story of Count Osiris was flowing through one ear moderately, a familiar voice came from far away.

“Lay!”

Alessia was waving her hand and approaching with Floria.

Alesia was excited by anyone.

‘Floria is coming to my lord’s castle!’

Although her personality is rather bad, Floria was one of the few with whom Alessia had been dating from the past.

Alessia always unilaterally traveled to and from Osiris, but this is the first time Floria has come to visit Phillips.

Alesia had one thing she really wanted to brag about to Floria.

At the sudden appearance of the countess girls, the knights hurriedly set up their manners.

Alesia nodded her head proudly, pointing to Rey.

“Floria, this is my knight!”

Ray had a sore throat.

It was Alesia, who usually sings ‘My Knight’ like a song.

Even Rei didn’t expect that he would deliver my articles even in front of the guests who came to Yeongju Castle.

Well, it wasn’t a bad feeling.

It was proof that Alesia trusted and was proud of Rey.

However, Ray’s status was very low to be shown to others.

‘I don’t think Alesia knows that.’

By the way, Alesia wasn’t bad at all.

I acted that way even though I knew I could be pointed at because I fit in with a lowly status.

‘Is it because the Count pushed me to get along?’

While Rey sighed, Floria flicked her fan up and down.

“Is interest really your knight?”

“I’m still a squire! I’ll be my knight soon!”

“okay?”

Floria, who was 16 years old, had quite a bit more vision than Ray.

Floria, who looked down at Rey, repeated the question she had passed once.

“Are you noble?”

Ray shook her head.

“I am a commoner.”

“Which family are you from?”

“There is no family to present.”

“…you mean it’s not a gentry class?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Floria looked at Rey again and smirked while covering her mouth with a fan.

“Alesia, is Iza really your knight?”

“It is true!”

“You two get along very well.”

“Really?”

Alesia blushed and rejoiced, and Rey made a sound of pain.

“Alesia, that’s sarcastic.”

“What does that matter? Anyway, it turned out to be a good match.”

Seeing Alesia smiling brightly, the corner of Rey’s mouth was about to unravel, and laughter erupted next to her.

“Big!”

Victory, the servant of Mendes, shook his shoulders for a moment.

Mendes, far from bruising Victory, shrugged his shoulders and coughed in vain.

The laughter stopped immediately, but Jenkinson and Didier’s faces turned cold.

Rey, who looked at Alesia, who still had a bright face, gathered up her thoughts for a moment.

Floria was older than Alesia, and the House of Osiris was five times more powerful than the House of Phillips.

Nevertheless, Alessia was scornful of Floria.

It wasn’t that Alessia made a mistake because she was stupid.

Floria had three more brothers above her head. There was a very high probability that he would not be able to inherit the title.

Alesia, on the other hand, was the only enemy of Count Phillips.

It was said that he was a nobleman who was destined to inherit the title.

Among those standing in this position, Alesia was the highest ranked person.

Well, Floria and Alesia have been dating for a long time, so she can play pranks that cross the line a bit.

By the way, do the knights laugh at you?

Laughter can come out. Then you have to endure it even if you chew your tongue.

If laughter leaked out, you should immediately bow your head and plead guilty.

Still, Mendes stood still, with his neck stiffened.

And not in the counties of Osiris, but in the middle of the counts of Phillips.

‘It seems that I went out of my mind as a slave at the headmaster’s house.’

Ray spoke up.

“Sir Mendes, you seem to be misunderstanding where you have set foot.”

“what?”

Mendes asked.

Ray grabbed the refreshment plate that was on the table and dragged it.

“This is the Count of Phillips, not the Count of Osiris.”

The refreshment plate, which was moving towards the corner, fell to the ground and shattered.

Clink!

Rey, who had Mendes in front of him, frowned.

Rey’s sword, which was pulled out, touched Mendes’ breastplate.

gang!

“So, be a little c*cky, bastard. Before you rip your chin off .”
