chapter 10
“It was all my fault.
I didn’t look up and apologized for Yuren’s mistake.
“What are you…”
Ilya was flustered, not knowing what to do with my words and actions.
Ilya, you must have heard my rumors and came here impulsively. But I was already preparing.
Ilya’s visit to break off the marriage was scheduled, but it was different from the novel. In the novel, she comes with her family and asks for a formal breakup.
But Ilya came here alone. story has changed. Thanks, I had two options.
Do I break off the marriage with her and become a man, or do I make the woman who will be the main character’s woman be on my side.
After much thought, I came to a conclusion. And there is only one reason why I made my decision.
[Creator’s Eye activates.]
[Name: Ilia Markus]
[Characteristics: Gyeonggukji color (傾國之color), Swordsman (劍后)]
[Likeability: -16 (Unlike) ]
It is because of her characteristic swordsmanship, seen through the eyes of the Creator.
Ilia is not a heroine who simply receives help from the main character. He became stronger with his own characteristics and later had a role in saving the fallen protagonist and cutting down the main villain. What makes it possible is the levelless characteristic test.
Even if your engagement to Ilya is broken, it will definitely be of great help if you can restore the relationship.
“I’m really sorry. If you’re still not freed, you can hit me enough to get freed.”
With my head still lowered, I spoke with a force in my voice. Her powerful voice has the ability to touch her heart, and it will create a bigger ripple in her heart.
“hmm…”
I heard Ilya’s moans. She still seemed to be lost in her troubles, not knowing what to do.
“wake up!”
Hearing Ilya’s cry, he raised his head and met her eyes. As if she was still agitated by my actions, her eyes were wandering.
“I’m serious?”
“Yes. I woke up after being beaten by you. It won’t happen again. Trust me.”
gulp
She swallowed dry saliva, and now met my eyes directly. Looking at her eyes that were no longer shaken, she seemed to have made up her mind too.
“I promise, no, I swear.”
“vow?”
“Yes. Promise me that you will not live like before. If you break your oath, I will beat you to death.”
ugh
Ilya opened up his aura and started putting pressure on me. A suffocating feeling of pressure flooded his entire body.
drooling.
Wow!
Pushed by the force of the aura, the teacup in front of me fell to the floor.
“I mean it. I will kill you myself if you go the wrong way.”
This is Ilya’s line to the main character. I can hear this line
I slowly opened my closed eyes and looked at her. As the pressure from the Aura intensified, the Mandokja Telegraph Machine activated itself and offset the pressure from the Aura.
ugh
“uh?”
Mandokja Telegraph was not enough to offset her aura, so it was putting pressure on her in reverse. Mandokja Telegraph, which reached 3 stars, was already surpassing Ilia, who had been learning Aura for years.
“Wait, what the heck…”
Ilya took a step back without realizing it, as if shocked by his lack of momentum.
I gave her a sincere smile and replied.
“I swear.”
**
“Have you met Yuren?”
“yes.”
Ilia was summoned by the Marquis of Willington after meeting Yuren and was summoned to the Marquis’s office.
“Have you made your decision?”
“I have decided.”
No matter what she said, her eyes were determined. The Marquis smiled lightly and waited for her words.
“I will not break off the engagement.”
“hmm…”
As if Ilia’s words were surprising, the Marquis opened his mouth slightly.
“May I ask why?”
Even the Marquis was aware of Yuren’s dramatic change. But it hasn’t even been 2 months.
The Marquis himself has no choice but to watch Yuren as he is his son, but Ilya doesn’t have to. Given her looks and skills, it was not unreasonable for her to marry a duke.
“My father said that humans are not meant to be rewritten. If you were going, he just said that you were breaking up your marriage and told me to come.”
The Marquis nodded as if he agreed.
“But I wanted to meet you once. How much you have changed, how you returned to Yuren, who was kind as a child.”
Ilya looked up as if thinking about the old days.
“But he’s not the Yuren of old, nor the crazy Yuren, he’s become a different person.”
“is it?”
“Yes. I want to believe it.”
“Huh…”
“I decided to beat him to death if he goes back to being an asshole.”
Ilya did not hesitate to declare that he would beat his son to death in front of the Marquis.
“Ha ha ha!
“Leave it to me.”
“Ha ha ha!”
The Marquis seemed to rather like her words and burst into laughter.
“Then how long are you going to stay?”
“I think I need to go back right away because I ran away from home.”
“Escape?”
“As I said earlier, my father said he would not let me go unless he would break off the marriage, so I sneaked out.”
“Ha ha ha ha!”
The Marquis must have been genuinely happy, and the laughter never stopped.
“I wish I could stay for a few days, but I can’t help it if that happens.”
“I’ll be back formally soon.”
“hahahaha I see. You must have used a warp gate when you came, right?”
“yes.”
“Then I guess I’ll have Yuren to see you off.”
“No. I can go alone. He says he practices every day.”
“Ah, yes.”
The Marquis also knew from the report that Yuren had been training non-stop.
“You’ve spent time on me today, so you’d better do the practice you couldn’t do. Inertia is important.”
After speaking, Ilya slightly closed his eyes.
“Thinking of him, you’re better than me. Okay then, goodbye. Say hello to your father.”
“All right.”
“And as you leave, tell Yuren to come.”
“yes?”
The Marquis gave her a kind smile that couldn’t be better.
“I’ve made a decision based on what you said. Uren should start now too.”
Bet with the Marquis
“who are you?”
“Eh.”
This human…
I came to his office at the call of the Marquis. But the person who called me said something like that.
“Is it really Yuren? How can you change so much in such a short time…”
The Marquis looked up and down me, bursting with admiration.
“My son is right. It’s the same as when I was young.”
“Yes? With the Marquis?”
“You can call me father when there are two of us.”
“yes…”
The Marquis seemed to be in a good mood, and pretended to be embarrassingly friendly.
“You’ve changed so much. It must have been difficult, but you endured it well.”
“It’s thanks to the Marquis for worrying about it.”
As a member of society, he gave lines that lifted the other person’s mood.
“I’m sorry, if you ask me to call you Marquis, I call you Father, and if you tell me to call you Father, I call you Marquis. There really is no such thing as a tree frog.”
“hahahaha.”
I laughed shyly. To be honest, the word father didn’t come out. It was best to call him Marquis.
“Is Ilya gone?”
“yes.”
“The child remains the same. Not a single thing has changed.”
“is that so.”
I don’t know about Ilya’s childhood. He just nodded.
“The child said he would not cancel his engagement to you.”
Hearing my oath, she had a determined look on her face, so I thought it was natural.
“I thought that the child would break up the marriage and I tried to accept it, but it was really unexpected.”
The Marquis was using a calm expression and calm tone, but he looked proud.
“You’ve always been an unexpected guy. That’s in a bad way. But for the first time, you’re unexpectedly heading in a good direction.”
The Marquis gave me a warm smile.
“Do you know why I called you?”
“Is it to train a knight?”
The only reason the Marquis called me was to learn the sword.
“hahahaha, that’s right. You’ve become more aware now.”
Perhaps the Marquis was still in the best mood, the smile on his face did not leave.
“Now the time has come for you to learn the sword of Rox.”
The atmosphere of the Marquis, who had been smiling a while ago, suddenly became serious.
“Marquis. I have something to tell you.”
“You’re thinking of something else?”
do you already know
“Do you want to learn the throwing technique?”
“Did you know?”
Did Arin say that?
“I saw you throwing daggers at the gymnasium.”
I thought Arin said it, but it seems the Marquis secretly watched it.
If this person was hiding and watching, I’d have no choice but to know.
“I don’t know where you’ve seen it and copied that kind of throwing technique, but it’s just catching.”
“Catch?”
“Yes. Throwing is a catch that only insignificant thieves use. A dagger like that can’t pierce the armor of knights, let alone the leather and scales of monsters.”
Was the Marquis seeing me before the opening of Sichuan Tang Street? I’ll have a look at it.
“If you practice hard as it is, you will get good results…”
“You couldn’t even fly properly.”
After all, the Marquis seems to have seen me before the Sichuan Tangga was opened. If so, it seemed that we could proceed with the work as originally planned.
This makes talking easier.
“You are also the son of this Willington Rocks. You must have a talent for swords.”
No, no. Why do people around me have such high expectations?
“You said catch, but if you train it, it can become an excellent skill.”
“Heh, you’re being useless. A warrior without an aura is no different from a sword without a sharp edge. Even if you practice that throwing technique for 100 years, you won’t be able to pierce Volak’s scales.”
As expected, there’s talk of the southern la volach.
“Then how about this?”
“What do you mean?”
“If I subdue Volach by throwing a dagger, I will take care of my training. If I lose, I will follow the words of the Marquis.”
“You mean to make such a risky bet? You can’t even hit the target yet?”
“Then the Marquis wins unconditionally, so you can bet.”
The Marquis looked at me intently, trying to figure out what I was thinking.
“Okay. When will you do it?”
The Marquis nodded as if he had made up his mind.
good. It went completely according to my plan.
“I’m fine right now.”
“I’m not okay. I have to call the summoning wizard and use the gymnasium, how about tomorrow?”
“All right.”
I kept a serious face, holding back the laughter that was about to come out.
“As soon as the bet ends tomorrow, you should be getting ready for hell training.”
“After I win tomorrow, I’m going to sleep.”
“Ha ha ha! We’ll let you know as soon as the location and time are decided. Go out and see.”
“All right.”
“Oh, and as of today, the punishment is lifted.”
As I bowed down to say hello, the Marquis said as if passing by.
Come to think of it, it was a punishment. I forgot.
“Since you only trained, did you not care about discipline?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s a good attitude. But if the punishment is lifted and you become an idiot again, it’s really over.”
“I know. I will not disappoint you.”
“Yes. Then go.”
I politely bowed again and went out. As soon as I left, the laughter I had been holding back burst out.
“Tomorrow will be fun.”
**
It was an ambiguous time to go to the gymnasium, so I practiced the Mandokja telegraph in my room. I felt Arin walking into my room when I was in the middle of my energy.
Since Mandokja Telegraph has a 3-star rating, you can feel the energy of the outside world even if you are using Simbeop. It’s getting more and more fraudulent.
smart
“come in.”
I returned my energy back to Danjeon and called Arin outside.
“I brought you dinner.”
“thank you.”
It seemed that it was dinner time before I knew it, and I could see the shadow of the setting sun outside the window.
