The Wise Lord

Episode 30 – Ellandur’s Crazy…?

A chilly silence settled in the noisy restaurant.

The movement of the people who were eating the food suddenly stopped.

The hands that brought the fork and knife to the mouth were suspended in the air.

If it weren’t for the food falling between them,

I even had the illusion that time had stopped.

Soon, everyone’s eyes turned to one place.

Astonishment, surprise, curiosity.

All eyes mixed with various emotions were directed to the same place.

And that’s where those eyes are headed.

Turbuck.

A man was walking there.

Turbuck.

The man took a step without hesitation.

It seems that only the man is allowed to move in this stopped time.

The man’s footsteps crossed the silence.

Right then.

“This bastard!!!”

“Do you know whose body you touched just now!”

An angry cry erupted in front of the man.

Before long, a series of knights blocked Xian’s way.

Knights belonging to Count Cloud.

At the same time, they were Reminton’s escort knights who had just flown away.

visor! Chae Chaeng!

They drew their swords without hesitation.

Then he pointed it at the man.

A vicious force bursting forth.

If you don’t lie flat right now,

The day full of the will to cut it was a good momentum.

but.

“Take it away.”

The man only muttered softly.

And the momentum felt in the man.

The knights flinched involuntarily at the horror that took over the area.

“This bastard, though!”

“Do you dare to think that you will be safe even if you touch Count Cloud’s family!”

At the same time, the atmosphere in the restaurant, which had been quiet, began to stir.

“Ku, Count Crowd?”

“Did you touch Count Cloud just now?”

Count Crowd.

Count Crowd, located in the southern part of the Empire, was a family that owned the largest granary in the Empire.

A huge family responsible for 15% of the grain distributed in the empire.

Crowd, who had powerful capital, was a prestigious family that no one in the empire could treat carelessly.

By the way, did you touch such a family crest?

This was one of the largest accidents among large accidents.

That’s why it’s not enough to lie flat and beg for mercy.

“whatever.”

The man was making remarks that bordered on provocation.

“What, what?”

“I touched Count Crowd, what should I do?”

“This bastard is now—!”

The man interrupted the shouting knight and said.

“Do you guys know who you dare to point your sword at?”

and at the same time.

flinch.

The knights of the crowd flinched and trembled.

People’s heads tilted at the sight of such knights.

People turned their eyes again to look at the man’s face.

And only then was he able to properly identify the man.

Cyan Elandour.

He was the youngest member of the Ellandur family, one of the two pillars that supported the empire.

It was then.

“This, this… You bastard…”

A voice filled with anger came from one side.

Where I looked, Reminton was raising his body among the broken wreckage.

bloody face.

He had to be commended for not fainting.

“What are you doing? Give it up!”

Reminton shouted in a fit of rage.

But why was his voice quite muffled…

It had to be.

Because Xian took out the jaw joint.

To be precise, he shattered his jaw joint while blowing his earlobes.

“I’ll give it to you quickly!”

Reminton continued to shout.

However, the knights did not move easily.

I couldn’t move.

Cyan Elandour.

Because no one in the empire could ignore the name of Ellandur.

The knights only looked at each other.

Was it frustrating to see such knights?

“What a frightened bastard you left behind!”

Reminton stole the swords from the knights.

Then, he rushed towards Xian and swung his sword without hesitation.

shhh!

A blow with clear intent to kill.

And did he learn systematic swordsmanship?

The posture of throwing out was also quite in shape.

but.

In Xian’s eyes, it just seemed infinitely shabby.

I don’t know if it was an old version,

Not now.

Currently, Xian is learning the swordsmanship of Kyle, the strongest Arnaise.

Also, the beings Xian had been dealing with in Ruben were demon beasts.

An evil being who dwells in the dark forest and only covets instinct.

When you see a human being, you burst out with emotions such as joy and joy along with hatred.

Beasts covered with pitch-black hatred and madness, beasts created with blind murderous intent.

In a resonant howling scream,

They were bursts of madness that seemed to be squeezed out of every vein.

By the way, Reminton’s sword that is being swung now.

shhh!

It was just… it was just like that.

It has murderous intent, but I will just kill it. That was all.

Other than that, they seem to think it contains a terrible murderous intent…

Compared to the mace wielded by the orc, the sword was infinitely weaker.

To be honest, there was nothing to compare with the Black Orc.

The madness of the goblins residing in the dark forest was even more devastating.

Whoo!

Xian easily dodged Reminton’s blow.

And more lightly than that, I grabbed Reminton’s hair.

And then.

Kwa-jik!

He punched Reminton in the face with his knee.

The time when all these series of processes took place is literally an instant.

It was an unbelievable speed.

“…!”

“…!”

The eyes of the people watching the scene widened and opened.

Even Reminton’s escort drivers couldn’t hide their surprise.

The stillness that descends again.

“Chehehehe!”

In the meantime, Reminton let out a scream in pain.

“Confucius!”

“You bastard!”

Only then did the escort knights hurriedly rush at Xian.

Xian pushed Reminton’s hair.

“Don’t move. I don’t know what will happen to this bastard if he moves even one foot.”

tall.

Then, the movement of the escort knights who rushed at them suddenly stopped.

Xian confirmed the appearance of such knights and grabbed Reminton’s hair and lifted it up.

“Kuruck…!”

Reminton’s face was truly miserable.

The temporomandibular joint was sluggish due to the earlobe,

My nose bone had just been completely crushed by a knee kick.

At this point, you should be able to figure out the subject.

“You… you, you bastard…! I hope you are safe even after this!”

Reminton did not stop swearing at Xian.

“What is he saying now? Do you think you will be okay with this?”

“Kami…! Gaminar mogyeom!”

“bath?”

No, what is he really talking about?

“insult!”

“Ah, an insult.”

Xian was able to nod his head at Reminton’s words.

“By the way, didn’t you insult me first?”

Of course, that was true, but

However, this did not mean that Xi’an’s response was appropriate.

That would be the case according to the Imperial customary law.

In disputes between nobles, it was right to formally request a duel.

In particular, the controversy related to insults was even more so.

However, Xian’s action now is a blow to the front.

This was no different from what the townspeople did.

From the point of view of noble aristocrats, it was an insult among insults.

But what do you mean?

‘It’s what my grandson teacher taught me.’

I still don’t know who he is.

well, anyway.

Although Xian took the lead,

Still, shouldn’t I say it right away?

I guess I just broke my jaw joint

It seems that his intelligence has also been shattered.

“you···! You… know who I am!”

“The second son of Count Crowd. no?”

“Even so, the street later…! Kuruk…!”

“So what are we going to do? Do you want to fight a duel even now?”

Startle!

Reminton immediately shook his body.

Could it be because I just experienced Xian’s movements?

He seemed to think he couldn’t win.

Fortunately, it seems that the intelligence is not completely destroyed…

Come to think of it, there was a rule that a duel between nobles was a duel.

A duel where you can send out a knight to represent your honor.

There must be many escort knights next to you.

It was enough to point out one person and send them out.

Xian is known for his incompetence even in Ellandur.

I had to think that I could win if I sent just about anyone.

But he looks so scared.

Thinking back.

It seemed that his intelligence had been destroyed.

“you···! In our crowd dance, this one…”

“Why don’t you answer me, but why do you keep bringing up the story of your family?”

Sian shut his mouth for a moment.

And suddenly, as if I realized.

“aha!”

Xian shouted and said.

“So you mean we’re going to have a family fight now?”

“·······”

And at those words of Xian, Reminton was speechless for a moment.

In the Empire, if you were a member of the Crowd family, everyone would give you a hand.

Even a tolerably prestigious family falls short of the Crowd family.

however···.

It wasn’t Elandur.

There was almost no family in the Empire that could be compared to Elandur.

There are only two such families.

The family that supports the empire like Elandur, Lorsilt.

And there was only the imperial family, the heart of the empire.

Count Crowd, who owns the best granary in the empire.

However, in front of Ellandur, he was just a farmer with a large land.

That’s why you should never go to a family fight.

“Bur, on the subject of being abandoned or an idiot!”

Of course, Xian was an outcast in Ellandur.

That’s why Elandur and Isabelle would never come forward to protect Xian.

Reminton knew that too, so he must have been out there like that earlier.

However, the story was different if it officially became a family affair.

No matter how much Xian is an outcast,

The fact that Xian was the youngest child of Ellandur did not change.

“So, I also want to throw away this last name. But what if that doesn’t work? I don’t know why they don’t sell weapons like this for s*xual assault.”

Even if he didn’t want to, Xian had the name of Elandur,

Isabel is nominally Sian’s mother.

Of course, if that happened, Xi’an’s position would not improve.

It was clear that Isabelle would see Xian even worse.

But what do you really mean?

Isabel was still eager to kill Xian.

To look worse here, it was nothing more than an attempt to tear limb from limb.

“So what shall we do? Do you want to fight with your family name or just fight each other? Make sure.”

“·······”

Reminton couldn’t bear to open his mouth.

either way…

Because I didn’t have the confidence to win.

“If you don’t like both, hit the head.”

Sian pulled Reminton by the hair.

Then he dragged him in front of Amelia, who had been at a loss for a while.

Iron pudduck.

Reminton falls helplessly under Amelia’s feet.

“Oh. Don’t forget to pay for the things you broke over there.”

Of course, Reminton wasn’t broken.

Reminton didn’t have many options.

#

Sian and Amelia leave the restaurant.

When I wanted to be a certain distance away like that.

“Crazy! Crazy! What the hell did you do!”

Amelia expressed the emotions she pretended not to.

That’s also the Reminton that Xian abandoned Ajak.

It was because he was the second son of the Crowd family and was the son whom the Earl Crowd cherished very much.

It was clear that Count Crowd would not stand still if he found out about this.

It was not easy for even Cyan to endure the pressure from Count Crowd.

No, it would have been unbearable.

So, it was just a problem that I had to bear with.

“What the heck? First of all, he’s the one who sucks.”

Xian didn’t seem to think so.

“It is like that to me. I just had to bear with it…”

“I told you. you are my yeongjimin Young Ji-min is being insulted in front of you. and that kid Are you sure you were mad at me too?”

Xian continued as if it was a thousand regrets for not being able to stir it up a little more.

“If we had a duel, we’d break it even more.”

“Then what if it turns into a real family fight?”

“Then it is rather good. You know what my last name is, right?”

with pleasure.

so that.

“·······”

Amelia couldn’t easily nod her head.

Because I knew how Xian was treated in Ellandur.

That’s why Xian stepped forward.

Was it sacrificing Xian himself?

And how much it was for Amelia, herself.

I didn’t know unless I was an idiot

That’s why I’m even more sorry.

That’s why I’m more grateful.

Amelia had nothing to say.

At the same time, Amelia was sure that he meant it.

Xian’s words that he will protect himself no matter what.

In fact, this was the first time Amelia had ever been alone without Lucas.

So, to be honest, I was a little afraid.

But not anymore.

“Lord.”

“huh?”

“······ thank you.”

Xian let out a smile.

Then he waved his hand, waved it, and opened his mouth.

“it’s okay. The more I did, the more hungry I was. Are there any good restaurants other than there?”

“song. I know a better place.”

“A better place…? Isn’t it more expensive?”

Instead of answering, Amelia smiled bashfully.

#

The madman of Ellandur did something!

The incident in Lucia spread quickly.

And almost all of those who watched the scene were nobles.

The aristocratic society was abuzz with the story of Xi’an.

“How can you make people like that? That, too, is the self-restraint of the Crowd family.”

“It’s not just the marquis family’s madman.”

“Elandur must be quite troublesome too.”

And most of them said yes.

“I heard that it was the crowd who insulted me first. I heard it was pretty severe.”

“My best friend was there, and honestly, he said he was just glad he didn’t kill him.”

Of course, those who knew the details defended Xian.

but.

“But how could you do something like that of a barrister…”

“It would have been nice if we had had a formal duel.”

After all, is a maniac a mangnani?

Even so, the gaze that looked at Xian in a bad way formed the main point.

And the news naturally reached Isabel’s ears.

“They broke the Crowd family’s restraint…”

Isabel put down the teacup she was holding in the treasury of the commander-in-chief, Lelith.

Was that why it was so noisy outside the door?

The noise that had been buzzing outside the door since earlier.

It was only then that Isabelle could understand the commotion.

“What should I do.”

Lerit’s question continued.

Isabella opened her mouth slowly.

“Come in and tell me.”

Lelith left the door without saying anything.

After a while, I came back with a man.

A guy who looks like he has a bit of a kick.

He was Count Crowd, head of the Crowd family, which had the largest granary in the empire.

“how···! How could this be!”

Count Crowd looked very angry.

Hagisa, when his son became like that, he couldn’t help but be angry.

When I heard it, it was very goofy.

The nose bone was crushed and the shape could not be recognized.

He also seemed to have lost a few teeth.

“How could we, Crowd…!”

Most of all, the jaw joint that was smashed to death.

I heard that even if you receive treatment from the priest, you will not be able to correct your poor pronunciation.

“I demand proper compensation and an apology from Ellandur for this bio!”

Count Crowd’s expression was trembling as if it were about to explode.

Isabel did not pay attention to Count Crowd.

He just held up the teacup with a calm expression.

and for a while

“Count Crowd.”

Isabelle, who was sipping her teacup, opened her mouth.

Before long, Isabel’s gaze turned to Count Crowd.

every gesture. every action.

And the dignity that flows from each wink of the eyes.

Isabelle opened her mouth slowly.

“Since when did Crowd raise his voice in front of Ellandur?”

A cold chill flowed.

It was just a word, but it contained a gruesome murder.

Only then did Count Crowd realize where he was.

Marquis of Ellandur.

It cannot be fully expressed even in words.

Even the imperial family couldn’t do it carelessly.

noble among nobles.

Cold sweat broke out on Count Crowd’s cheeks.

Isabelle slowly put down the teacup and opened her mouth again.

“And it was Count Crowd who insulted me first. I know it’s your son.”

Isabelle’s next words.

“Did you think you would be safe even after insulting Ellandur?”

Count Crowd’s face went white.

In fact, there was a reason why Crowd came to Ellandur with such courage.

party that caused the incident.

It was because the target was none other than Xian.

Marquis’ madness.

An illegitimate child who shouldn’t have existed.

Xian was a being abandoned in Ellandur.

That’s why I thought that Ellandur wouldn’t care too much about Xian.

However, since Xian was also Elandur, if he were to argue with this.

I thought there would be something to be gained.

Because I thought that Ellandur, who would give Xian trouble, would calm Crowd down and send him off.

If you create Ellandur’s debt in this way,

It would be good, thought Count Crowd.

But it wasn’t.

That was clearly the crowd’s illusion.

Because Elandur treated Xian that way.

It didn’t mean that others could also treat it that way.

A line drawn by Elandur.

Now Crowd has crossed that line.

Count Crowd’s face turned white and became contemplative.

The family with the largest granary in the empire?

It was funny.

Crowd was nothing more than a farmer with a lot of land in front of Ellandur.

sky above the sky.

Haven’t you seen the famous families who ruled the empire disappear in front of Ellandur’s name?

“I’m sorry!”

Count Crowd lowered his head as if to the ground.

Isabelle said nothing.

He just looked down at the teacup with an indifferent face.

“I-I dared not even know the subject! Please… please show me mercy just once, and I will never forget this grace!”

Count Crowd continued desperately.

“I will formally compensate Xian! I will also firmly educate my son! No, I’ll break your legs so you don’t mess around in front of Ellandur again!”

Isabelle calmly sipped her teacup.

And Isabel’s answer that I heard.

“I will watch.”

“thank you! thank you!”

Will Count Crowd change Isabel’s mind?

Hastily disappeared from the door.

Isabelle gently put down the teacup.

Isabel’s gaze staring into space.

“He did not die in Leuven…”

“Should I send someone right now?”

At Lelith’s words, Isabel slightly raised her eyebrows.

Because I couldn’t.

Reportedly, Xian was invited to the National Foundation Day event.

It was because he received an invitation handwritten by the crown prince.

I don’t know why the prince is like that,

Its weight was not to be taken lightly.

In a word, a guest invited by the Crown Prince himself.

Such a guest is mysteriously murdered at the National Foundation Day event?

“Do you think the crown prince will stay still?”

I wonder if the prince is watching it quietly?

No matter how much Elandur,

In front of the imperial family, the heart of the empire, he had no choice but to give up.

Even more so if the target was the crown prince.

“······ My thoughts were short.”

Lelith bowed her head deeply.

Isabelle looked away from Lelith.

at last.

You have to face Xian’s face at the National Foundation Day event.

A face that remained calm all the time.

Kwap!

Isabelle’s face twisted.
