#When I returned, my family was ruined (134)
Isera, who had been blind for a moment, regained her composure.
‘calm down.’
This is the situation the duke is watching.
I couldn’t show him running wild without reason.
furthermore.
‘…There has been no reply from the Duke yet.’
The duke was not participating in the conversation between the two men.
They just stare at the two as if it’s absurd.
Even if Dorothy clings to the Duke with a bright smile.
‘In the end, if you don’t get chosen, it’s the end.’
What do you lack more than Dorothy? Wealth? Fame? skill? appearance? Body? personality?
Everything was superior.
As I thought about that, my head gradually became cold. Meanwhile, Ethan, looking at Duke, said.
“Who is the husband at will?”
“haha. Dorothy is more lovely than any other girl in the world. Could it be that the Duke doesn’t have any feelings for Dorothy?”
“does not exist.”
“Not even the slightest hint of emotion?”
“Nothing…”
“I just saw your pupils moving. “You don’t have the slightest heart.”
It was absurd.
As one of the trainees, it is impossible to not have even a single ounce of human-to-human emotion. It’s just that it wasn’t a rational feeling.
I never thought I would express it like that.
Soon the Duke looked at Dorothy.
“Cheer up. “Now it’s up to you.”
“Yes, Dad. I’ll do my best! “So I’m going to marry the professor!”
Wow!
Ysera narrowed her eyes.
Dorothy.
If she had been a bitch like a fox, I would have said something harsh to her. However, in terms of animals, he was closer to an innocent bear.
I’m not pretending to know nothing, I really don’t know anything.
‘…so it’s more dangerous.’
It was still like that now.
It was obvious that Dorothy probably perceived marriage as just living together.
So, you must be loudly shouting out loud that you will get married.
Thanks to this, the two marquess and later marquess were naturally beginning to follow in the footsteps of the duke and Dorothy.
It was a crisis.
Ysera immediately approached the Turian Marquis.
Sigh!
Sigh!
He started stabbing his waist vigorously. And that too with plenty of mana. The Marquis, who was rolling his eyes at the stinging pain he felt from his waist, stepped forward.
“haha. Duke of Ethan. You haven’t forgotten our daughter, have you? I heard you are courting the duke affectionately. “It is truly unmanly to cheat on your wife.”
“Huh, your real wife? What does that mean? “We haven’t even discussed its contents yet!”
I was afraid of Duke going on a rampage, but as a father with a scary daughter, I couldn’t back down from here.
“Your Excellency the Duke, the order is to be observed.”
“Uh huh. What order is there in love? That’s not something to think about in such a calculated way. “What matters is the heart, not the heart!”
‘What is this now….’
Duke and Turian.
The heads of the family looked at the two people and their eyes widened. Now, the two seemed to be making a tearful effort to somehow give their daughter to the duke.
Wasn’t sending the late index simply to improve the skills of the children?
However, the two people seemed to be paying more attention to other ashes than to their original purpose.
On the surface, they were just chatting lightly, but the meaning behind it was not light. This meant that two of the seven heads of the family were showing a friendly attitude towards the duke.
This meant quite a lot.
If either Ysera or Dorothy connects with the Duke, the relationship between the 7th House and Ardan could take a sharp turn.
‘Hmm.’
A renowned spearman and a master of magic.
The heads of the two families looked at the duke.
‘…There would be no harm in using this opportunity to create friendly relations.’
The two marquis made a quick decision and approached the duke.
“Nice to meet you. “I am Seiji, Leon’s father.”
“I am Delicera, the father of Zeros.”
“It’s Ethan.”
Even though he was speaking informally to me, I didn’t feel too bad. Wasn’t this a tone that even the Duke, who could already say that the distribution was much higher than theirs, accepted it?
Moreover, even though he was temporary, he was a duke with a higher title than them, so considering he was a bit overbearing, there was nothing they couldn’t accept.
The three people shook hands slowly.
The eyes of the two marquis who were trying to understand the duke’s prayers lit up.
‘Was it like this?’
They thought that the duke’s skill would be higher than they expected as they had sharply increased the skills of the late exponents, but in reality, the duke’s level was much higher than they had thought.
‘If we fight…’
‘It will be difficult to easily suppress him.’
The strong prayer felt implicitly was so strong that even they could not ignore it.
The three dukes that exist in 7th Street. If not for them, it would be difficult to find anyone in the kingdom who could easily subdue Duke Ethan.
It seemed now that the two moderate heads of the family held the duke in very high esteem at the last meeting.
‘I can almost understand why you want to give me a daughter.’
Even skill reputation titles.
In all of this, the Duke was so tall that even Mileton, who was said to be the best sword in the kingdom, could not match him. If they had a daughter, they would naturally have thought of her as a son-in-law.
While they were expressing surprise at Ethan, Ethan was also secretly surprised at the two marquis.
Spearman and glasses man.
This was because the two parents, who were always making a fuss about themselves, were people with a fairly solid prayer mentality.
‘How could such
children come from such parents? ’
Ethan was impressed.
“By the way, Prince Mileton is…?”
“Due to Duke Gerond’s absence, today’s schedule was to train myself.”
“…I guess so.”
It was a pity that I couldn’t look into Mileton, the so-called best sword in the kingdom, but that wasn’t the really important purpose.
“Can I hear how you plan to conduct the craft observation class?”
“I’m sure everyone is curious about their children’s achievements. “Isn’t that right?”
The four heads of the household nodded.
“Let’s have a friendly match. The head of each family and the later index face each other. “Wouldn’t that be a way to clearly confirm accomplishments rather than simply seeing them with your own eyes?”
That was correct.
Ethan looked at the heads of the family who nodded and then looked at the late family members. Leon’s eyes lit up at that sight and he raised his hand.
“Duke. “Can we take the first step?”
“You mean us?”
Marquis Seiji tilted his head at his son’s words.
I heard that my son won first place in the ranking competition. Therefore, I had high expectations for this meeting.
I wanted to test my skills by sharing a window one-on-one.
“Isn’t this a one-on-one sparring?”
“Ah, those two are a special exception. “Hapgong was more useful than I thought.”
“What does it mean to join forces…?”
“It would be nice to see it in person. “Leon and Zeros, please come forward.”
The two people named stood in front of the duke. There was no better opportunity than this to reveal how efficient and great their passing team was.
‘If we do well…’
‘Not only the two of us, but also the union with the family will be able to be achieved easily.’
“I would like to continue to be with Master Mago in the future.”
“Changseong…!”
Leon and Zeros.
The two people selected as the next head of the family were considering not only individual cooperation but also cooperation between families. To do this, the approval of the family heads was needed. I will clearly prove here why the two families must cooperate. Leon looked at Marquis Seiji.
Ghost spear.
It was my father’s nickname given to him because he handled the spear in a mysterious way, as if it were an invisible ghost.
Even though he had sparred countless times so far, he was never able to jump over his father’s spear. On the contrary, since he was helplessly defeated, he would have been weighed down by the burden from the moment he stood in front of Marquis Seiji.
But it was different now.
Because right now, there was a friend behind him that he had to protect.
‘I protect the wizard Confucius.’
“Whoa.”
Leon exhaled and held on tightly to the spear. Marquis Seiji’s eyes sparkled as he saw his son emitting a sharp force that could pierce a point in an instant. This was because his eyes and energy were clearly different from before he took the special class.
“It looks like the class was pretty informative.”
“It’s not that much at best.”
“…?”
“Because Confucius the Magician and I have already caught the clue to ‘perfection.’”
“haha. “Are you saying that you found something that even I don’t know about?”
“Let me show you.”
“Let’s get started.”
Was it just lip service or did you really get the clue?
I will confirm it with this strike.
The moment the ghost’s spear moves.
Flash!
A ray of light began to rush towards the two people.
The secret of Chal (扎).
The stab-like thrust had a similar speed to the one Duke Ethan demonstrated last time.
A strong wind assisted Leon’s spear. Leon smiled at that and stabbed the spear.
Flash!
The strength and speed of the Marquis.
It was a sharp thrust that could not be easily pushed aside.
It was when the exactly opposite spear tips collided with each other.
Quang!
A huge explosion sounded.
The Marquis took one step.
Leon was pushed back three steps.
The difference between strength and technique was revealed. However, Chang’s speed for the next attack was the same.
It was thanks to the secret of Wind Hyangjin (風向陣). Dozens of channels began to move towards each other.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, starting from the late exponents to the principal and the three heads of the household who were watching the game.
‘Huh….’
Marquis Seiji.
It wasn’t for nothing that he was given the nickname ‘Gwichang (鬼槍)’. He was one of the strong men in the middle to upper ranks among the heads of the seven families.
Except for the three dukes, he is a strong man who cannot be easily surpassed by any marquis.
The two latter-day indexes’ offensive against the seven heads of families was not slowed down at all.
The two spears moving like snakes continued their dazzling movements as if trying to strangle each other’s heads.
‘can do.’
Leon’s eyes lit up.
What Duke Ethan taught most thoroughly was the basics. Its effects were revealed before our eyes.
Of course, it was impossible to catch up with my father’s basic skills after only training for a month at most.
‘…I have a magician!’
While the wind flowing from the wind vane was giving speed and power to his spear, it was blowing a counter wind to Marquis Seiji’s spear, reducing its power and speed.
Is that why?
My father’s spear no longer seemed unbearably tall.
“Hehe, that’s good!”
The Marquis let out an exclamation.
If we look at it objectively, it wasn’t a perfect fit that was flawless enough to be called ‘perfect’. However, if this is the result that was released in just one month.
I dare say that I was confident that I had caught the clue to perfection.
It was surprising and admirable.
Seiji wasn’t the only one who was impressed.
Marquis Delique.
This was because he was also exclaiming in exclamation when he saw his son, Zeros.
From wind assistance without wasting an inch of strength to solid footwork to avoid the Marquis’ spear. Zeros’ basic skills had improved to a level that could not even be compared to what he had seen before.
‘Was my son… that bad?’
It seemed like it would be a good idea to act as the family’s battle mage right away. Seiji, who soon widened the distance, spoke.
“It wasn’t just about mouth. “There is no point in checking the basics anymore.”
Ghost spear.
He took a stance while holding the spear. This was the attitude shown when using the family’s secret spear technique. Leon took the same posture with his face frozen.
I could feel it instinctively.
‘It’s the final test!’
Father would judge the two men as a result of this blow. It was the moment when Leon caught his breath and spread mana throughout his body.
The marquis and his spear moved simultaneously.
[Gwiyeongchang (Ghost Spear) Chapter 3]
[Mukyeongseomjeonchang (墨影閃電槍)]
Two pitch-black spears were struck at each other without any of the usual sound or light.
It was when our windows collided with each other.
thud!
With a heavy sound.
“Oops!”
“Ugh!”
Leon and Zeros collapsed, spitting blood from the corners of their mouths. It was unable to withstand the power and skill contained in the Marquis’ spear. However, it was not a one-sided defeat.
Marquis Sage.
He looked at his hands.
Burr.
The Marquis laughed out loud at the sight of his hands shaking slightly.
Leon’s skills had improved incomparably compared to before.
I couldn’t tell who this was because of. Gwichang’s gaze filled with admiration naturally turned to Ethan.
