Swordmaster of the Red Light District

warning (1)

51

Rey, who had properly scraped the insides of the knights by Osiris, was ready to leave the lord’s castle right away.

There were other plans in the first place, and I had no intention of provoking Mendes or Avencio by constantly showing my face.

Having given a warning once, the knights of the House of Osiris will not be reverent in front of Alesia for a while.

In this world, knights were elites with academic literacy, and there were few cases where knights who had been appointed to the ranks lacked enough intelligence to repeat the same mistake twice.

‘I think I’ll have to fight a little bit on the way to the tower.’

Well, what can you do?

Rey sighed and left the castle, and Alessia came out to meet him at the front door.

“Ray! Enter carefully, and visit us often.”

“I hear it often enough, but…”

At least once a week, he is showing his face to the countess.

When the frequency of visits was high, it was high, but never low.

“My lady, please stop by the nursery every now and then. You came to visit me every day in the past, so why are you so absent these days?”

“…”

Alessia pursed her lips and then slowly turned her head.

Rey, who looked at Alessia silently, raised one corner of her mouth and asked.

“Damn?”

“Is that possible!”

Alessia groaned and kicked Rey’s shin.

Rey pulled her shin to protect Alesia’s toe, then raised the corner of her opposite lip.

“Are you afraid?”

“Ray! Stop teasing me!”

Alessia tapped Rey’s chest with both hands.

It meant that she really hated Alesia reacting so violently.

Ray was deeply troubled and hardened her expression.

‘I think my self-esteem is very bad.’

If Rey had picked up Alesia from the street, what grade would she have given her?

I didn’t have enough talent to give it a rare, and I had a weak evaluation to give it a normal.

Maybe it was set up by opening one more intermediate grade, such as minus rare.

‘Anyway, that’s not enough compared to the rare.’

Just four years ago, Alesia outranked orphanage children in most areas.

However, now, all the rare orphans have surpassed Alesia in their field of specialization.

Alesia, who had always visited the orphanage with enthusiasm, became depressed at some point, and now rarely visits the orphanage.

Ray stroked his temple.

This was definitely a sensitive subject to open mouth.

Alessia considered herself to be of noble blood, and indeed she was born of a hero’s line.

However, the fact that her growth stagnates due to lack of talent compared to orphans without parents greatly damaged Alesia’s self-esteem.

It can be more convenient to cover your eyes and ears if you are going to get hurt by being compared to the poor.

Ray was also unaware of this, but I wanted Alesia to keep a close distance from the children of the nursery school if possible.

‘Just in case.’

There are at least two ‘real geniuses’ who can reach the top of the nursery school children.

It would definitely be of great help if Alessia had established her acquaintance in advance.

For now, Rey could be the middle bridge, but no one knew when and how things would change.

Rei calmly chose a word and opened her mouth.

“Alesia, you are a noble nobleman and heir to the Phillips family.”

“?”

A question mark hung over Alesia’s head.

When Ray, who usually flirts and blows chestnuts, said that kind of noise, I could not help but question it.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“You don’t have to be good at everything to be a noble noble.”

Whether it was swordsmanship, magic, or accounting, it was the subordinates who ultimately saw the practice.

“What you really need is the art of tolerance. And in order to earn loyalty to good talent, you need to embrace and inspire others.”

Rey patted Alesia’s head and continued.

“That can be embarrassing… But the Count isn’t a better swordsman than a knight or a magician better than a wizard, isn’t he? Nevertheless, the Count is a wonderful noble who is respected by everyone.”

“…”

Alessia muttered.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand what Ray was trying to say.

However, as a proud nobleman, this was not advice he could easily accept.

Alessia looked at Rey and asked.

“Rei, don’t you want to become a nobleman?”

to make him a nobleman.

When Rey stayed by his side, it was one of the few rewards Alesia could offer.

However, as Alesia grew older, she began to worry that what she could do for Rey might not be that attractive to Rey.

Rey raised the corners of her mouth and nodded toward Alesia, who had a gloomy face.

“Noble? Of course I want to. It would be really appreciated if Alessia asked His Majesty the Emperor to grant him a title later, right?”

“…if you keep my side faithfully, don’t even think about it.”

“Yeah, I’ll try.”

“Okay. Go carefully.”

Alessia thought as she let Rey go.

If he had been gifted with brilliant talents rather than the class and title of a mere nobility, would Ray have taken more care of him?

Suddenly feeling envious of some of the children in the nursery, Alessia pouted and turned her feet away.

“I can’t see Ray too much these days!”

A few days after Floria visits Count Phillips.

Karen crossed her arms with a look of dissatisfaction with the world.

When the story of Ray came out, Yohana frowned at first.

Luna, who was trying to wrinkle her expression following Karen and Yohana, expressed dissatisfaction by blowing air into her cheeks when her facial muscles didn’t move as well as she thought.

Karen grinned and resented Rey.

“I haven’t been to the nursery for a week!”

Ray was busy getting ready to stop by the tower.

Of course, Karen didn’t know much about the horse tower.

Had I known that, the nursery would have already been turned over once.

“Another noble lady has visited the lord’s castle.”

Karen was worried.

I wondered if Rei had fallen in love with the newly visited noble lady and didn’t show her face at the nursery.

“Let’s go to Yeongjuseong!”

I didn’t mean to invade into Yeongjuseong.

It was just meant to go round and round around Yeongjuseong to check if Rey was staying.

Originally, such actions should be taken seriously, but this was the Count of Phillips.

Count Phillips could not be beaten just by wandering around the castle, and Karen and Johanna were very much loved pupils by the knights of the Phillips family.

Even the knights who were dissatisfied with passing on swordsmanship to the common people at first.

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Now he was arguing that he would teach Karen and Johanna a new swordsmanship first.

“Let’s get a horse ride!”

Karen rushed to the knight who had finished his shift and begged him to ride the horse.

The knight, who had been displeased for a moment, put Karen, Johana, and Luna on the saddle, and drove the horse to the vicinity of the lord’s castle.

“Where’s Ray?”

Karen walked around the fence of the lord’s castle with her neck long.

If it didn’t go around a lap or two, I was thinking of going to the market after I got here.

But, when I round the fence halfway.

A woman with a face she had never seen before could be seen walking through the garden with Alessia.

Looking through the elegantly braided red hair and the elegantly shining wall, I could tell that the other person was the daughter of Count Osiris, whom I had heard of.

A fan decorated with beautiful flowers and a dress that fluttered under the sky along the silk line caught the attention of the children for a moment.

“…nobility would be nice.”

Karen muttered as she touched her humble clothes.

Jealousy and jealousy towards Alesia, which had been diluted over time, felt like it was revived through Floria.

“I wish I was a noble too.”

The aristocrats, who have been managed and educated since childhood, often shed an aura that commoners do not dare to touch.

envy.

Karen was able to admit her feelings a little more honestly than when she was 9 years old.

The elegance and splendor that only aristocrats could bring about, even if Karen was old enough to receive the title, was something that could not be achieved.

Watching Alesia and Floria’s steps, Karen couldn’t shake her gloom.

Yohana, looking at her disappointed friend, opened her mouth.

“Karen, can’t Karen be a noble too?”

“Huh? I?”

“Yeah. Karen has red hair too! It’s just like the girl over there.”

Karen looked at Floria. Floria had the same hair color as Karen.

“Hi-Hi.”

Karen laughed.

Of course, Johanna’s words were nonsense.

Although one of the external characteristics of Count Osiris is red hair, red hair was common among commoners.

However, Karen felt better just by imagining that the parents who abandoned her might not have been nobles.

“Then is that girl my sister?”

“Karen is a half-brother!”

It was all a joke.

The problem is that Victor, who had been out for a while, came back and listened to the children’s stories.

“Have you seen these crazy things?”

Viktor, who was approaching in stride, raised his voice and became furious.

“How dare you insult the Osiris girl for some kind of safety…!!”

“…!”

Karen turns her head in surprise.

Red hair resembling a falling sunset is scattered in the air.

The twinkling eyes that seemed to contain the clouds that the setting sun had spread out turned towards Victor.

Victor licked his lips for a moment.

“Uh, uh…”

Victor thought.

‘pretty.’

Is this like falling in love at first sight?

Victor felt the rage that had engulfed his heart melt away.

Victor, who was speechless for a moment, cleared his throat once.

“Damn, you shouldn’t talk like that. If you enter the ears of nobles or knights, you can be severely punished.”

“sorry.”

Karen nodded her head.

Victor took hold of his slightly dizzy spirit and introduced himself.

“Hmm, my name is Victor, Sir Mendes’ squire.”

“Are you a squire?”

“Yeah, Squire. It means the status of an apprentice knight. It is a position to assist the knight and teach swordsmanship and other weapon skills.”

“Wow, really?”

Karen, who did not know exactly what the concept of a squire was, continued to speak with a feeling of sympathy with Victor.

“I also learned swordsmanship from a knight.”

“What?”

Is this kid a squire too?

Viktor asked again, just in case.

“Were you also a knight’s servant?”

“I don’t know about that, but at the nursery, the knight taught me swordsmanship.”

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Nursery school?

Knights in the nursery teach swordsmanship?

what kind of bullshit is that?

“That… Lady, not everyone who handles swords is called a knight.”

“I know. People who have been formally appointed wearing cool armor are called knights.”

“No, sleep…”

Why did the knights who were officially appointed teach swordsmanship at the nursery school?

While Victor was confused as to where to start with the nonsensical story, Hamus, who had been following Victor, intervened.

“Listen, isn’t this crazy bitch?”

“Hey, Hamus, wait a minute. There seems to be some misunderstanding.”

“Victor, it’s a misunderstanding and Nabal, and now that bitch is insulting us.”

Karen clearly said that the ‘ordained knight’ teaches ‘swordsmanship’ at the ‘nursery school’.

It was so out of the ordinary that Hamus thought Karen was saying something like that to insult Victor and herself.

Just as the atmosphere was about to turn harsh, another voice interrupted.

“Hey, those kids didn’t lie.”

*

Count Phillips’ knight, Picor, brought Karen and the others along, and then passed this on to the Jimmy family.

Considering the situation that the people of the Osiris family are staying in the permanent castle, I took care not to cause any problems.

Ray, who had visited Jimmy’s office to pack a few things, heard the story and headed to Yeongjuseong.

And luckily, I was able to break into the conversation at just the right time.

“what is it.”

Ray thought for a moment.

It was already quite rumored within the counties that the Knights of Count Phillips were teaching swords in the orphanage.

If you hide it now, you will be found out anyway, so I told you the proper reason for kissing the Earl in advance.

“The Count of Phillips doesn’t have a large population. When it comes to recruiting talent, we don’t discriminate. For that reason, we also send knights to orphanages, and if there are children with good talents, we teach them and make them disciples.”

Ray added.

“I also became a Squire through that process.”

Hamus let out a laugh.

“Does the Phillips knights know no honor?”

“You can think so.”

Ray nodded.

Even if the manpower was insufficient, teaching swordsmanship to a lowly native child and bringing him in as a servant was a far cry from the universal view of this world.

“But this is the Earl of Phillips.”

Rey repeated the story he had told me a few days ago.

“If you want to say something like that, do it outside the Count.”

“…”

There was a snowball fight for a while.

Ray wasn’t particularly offended, but things looked pretty good right now.

Victor and Hamus were selected as squires at a young age, and now they are approaching adulthood.

He’ll be better than Karen, and he’ll lag a bit more than Yohana.

‘Karen and Yohana don’t have much experience fighting with peers of similar skill level…’

It wasn’t bad to break their spirits in advance, as well as gaining experience for Karen and Yohana.

Ray suggested.

“Hey, why don’t we stop arguing and try a match with this one?”

“What? Dalian?”

“Yeah. Whether Count Phillips’ talent discovery worked, or if it was just an idiot that ruined the knight’s honor, check it out for yourself.”

“Ha. You don’t understand the subject. Are you saying you want to share a sword with me?”

“First, check the skills of those kids. I’m next.”

“Where the hell does your confidence come from?”

Although Hamus snorted, he was happy inside.

Mendes told me not to create a problem for nothing, but since the opponent applied for the match first, there is no need to back down.

I was planning to press the bridge of the nose properly.

Meanwhile, Victor also had to work hard to contain the laughter that leaked out.

‘This is an opportunity to close the distance.’

Although Karen’s status is low, Viktor’s heart was already beating hard for Karen.

If you kindly share the sword, you will be able to nurture a passion that you did not have.

Things ran smoothly as Rey intended.

However, there was one aspect that Ray overlooked.

“Karen, Yohana. Why don’t you take this opportunity to get a taste of Count Osiris’ sword? You’ll be able to improve your skills.”

It was Johana.

“why me?”

Yohana frowned and glared at Rei.

“If I tell you to do it, do you have to do it unconditionally? It’s really unlucky.”

“?”

“I don’t.”

“…”

Rei looked at Johana for a moment and finally clenched her fist.

“Hey, come to work.”

Bitch said I’ll see you, so go back .
