EP.133 People with rough mouths (3)
“What happened?”
“Nothing happened.”
Draka gave a short answer to his subordinate’s question.
I didn’t feel like talking for a long time. The subordinate, who had read Draka’s thoughts, did not ask at length.
‘I wasted my emotions needlessly.’
It was literally useless.
It was something you could just ignore, so why did you react? I’m not sure why. For some reason, I felt like I wanted to say something.
‘Come to think of it, gray was like that too.’
That incompetent wizard was like that too.
Every word he said indifferently got on my nerves. Even after knowing Draka’s past, the only person who dared to mention his family and origin in front of Draka was the Gray Wizard. And now, one more person has been added.
-What can a vagrant who lost his territory, his family, and his country talk about his dignity?
-Isn’t that like spitting in my face?
The face of a bold girl who was talking nonsense flashes before my eyes. Draka frowned at her.
“Did you say you adopted a daughter from the Trias family?”
“Yes, I heard it was brought in this spring. I originally raised her as a disciple… but it seems I took her in as an adopted daughter in response to the news of the Gray Wizard’s retirement.”
“name is?”
“Rania. “This is Rania Van Trias.”
Rania van Trias.
Draka pondered the name.
“Any other information?”
“He is currently serving as a professor at Aplia. “I think we’ll have to find out more detailed information.”
“Do your research.”
The subordinate tilted his head at Draka’s words.
Draka is an inherently dry person. It was rare for him to be interested in others.
“Are you interested?”
“There is something.”
“···yes?”
“No matter how much he belongs to the same family as that invincible guy… I pulled out my sword and he didn’t even blink. “Isn’t it strange?”
I had no intention of bell.
I pulled out my knife with the intention of giving a moderate scare. Those who know what kind of person they are are extremely wary of pulling out their sword.
But, what was the girl like?
-Do you think you can do it?
Even though he knew who he was, instead of being scared, he provoked him. She snapped her fingers and raised her mana. She took a stance as if she was going to have a fight.
“Instead, they started fighting against me. All I could do was laugh. Do you think that’s normal?”
“···That’s strange.”
“Yeah, it’s weird.”
It was strange, so I wanted to see his skills.
In the end, I couldn’t confirm his skills due to the interference, but I definitely saw those eyes.
‘Unwavering eyes.’
It wasn’t a bluff. He had eyes that exuded a composure that only those with confidence in their abilities possessed. He could tell a lot just by looking at his eyes.
The other person’s skills, personality, and maybe even their life.
Draka peered into the girl’s eyes, and by peeping, he got a glimpse. She was no ordinary girl. never.
‘It could be a variable.’
In order for a plan to succeed, variables must be ruled out. No matter how trivial it is, it must be pointed out. Draka instructed his subordinates.
“Dig behind you. “It might be a distraction.”
“All right.”
The subordinate nodded and asked.
“What do you plan to do if I get in your way?”
“How can I do it?”
Draka tapped the hilt of the sword.
“I have to kill him.”
“···The friction with the gray wizard will increase.”
“That is none of your concern.”
It’s a problem I have to deal with.
After answering that, Draka quickened his pace. The place where the steps are headed is a small cathedral located on the northern outskirts. Because there was someone I had to meet there.
“What did the Delohim Church respond?”
“They said they would cooperate. The Cardinal promised the support of Delohim’s spear, shield, and guardian knight. “He’s probably arrived by now.”
“Yes, it should come out like that.”
Draka nodded.
“I gave up most of my life. The Delohim Church must have devoted even more time than that. “They have been consistently looking for it for hundreds of years.”
His footprints were long on the snow.
I didn’t know how long I had walked, but an old and shabby church caught my eye. In front of the shabby church, there are knights dressed in shining armor lined up. After checking Draka, they cleared the way.
“···What do you mean?”
The subordinate asked.
Draka answered that question.
“A holy relic that will cause miracles beyond providence.”
Without stopping speaking, Draka hooked his finger on the doorknob of the church.

“An ancient Holy Grail that disappeared hundreds of years ago. “A vessel to contain the power of God and an offering to God.”
There is someone standing beyond the door that opens with a squeak. An old man dressed in pure white robes. The old man looks back at Draka.
“They wouldn’t want to miss out on the first holy relic that makes all miracles possible.”
It was something he said to his subordinate. However, Draka did not lower his voice. Draka raised his voice as if to make the old man in front of him listen.
“Isn’t that so, Cardinal?”
Draka’s voice rang through the old church. The old man who was pointed out by Draka turned his back and opened his mouth.
“Haha, that’s also true…”
Verdict, Cardinal of Delohim.
The elderly man said with a soft laugh.
“I just hope that Lord Draka, a faithful follower of Delohim, gets what he wants.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Didn’t you serve Delohim in many ways? Although it is not right to serve in the hope of something… Delohim will also view Lord Draka well. So he must have allowed such a miracle.”
“…It’s a miracle.”
“Yes, isn’t it really a miracle?”
Verdict narrowed his eyes.
“You have found the place where the remains of the first saint were buried.”
He let out a soft laugh.
“Can you tell me the details?”
Snake-like eyes turn towards Draka.
At least, the eyes did not fit the name cardinal. Draka let out a short breath.
“Sit down first. “I think the story will be long.”
This time, I see the end.
In order to do that, I planned to attract everything I could. Even if it is an old member of the church whose true feelings are unknown.
2.
“f*ck, I feel so uncomfortable.”
I took out the wooden box I had stuffed in my robe and threw it on the table. Even though it was sealed with several layers, it still felt uncomfortable.
‘It feels like I’m dragging a rotten corpse.’
What is contained in the wooden box.
Thinking of the apostate’s black arm, I clicked my tongue briefly. I was carrying it around because Cardi said I needed it, but… it was something I really wanted to get rid of from my body.
“This is the arm of Delohim?”
Cardi said something like that.
And, as I remember, Delohim… was the name given to a star in the church. Because they were people who worshiped the stars as gods.
‘So, the literal translation is that it means the arm of a star.’
I peeked open the wooden box.
“No matter how I look at it, I don’t think so.”
Wouldn’t the Demon King’s arm look better?
With that thought in mind, I closed the wooden box again. Because I didn’t want to watch it for that long.
“Whoa…”
I let out a short breath and tilted my head back.
If you tilt your head back, you can see the ceiling of the room.
The room I was assigned was quite spacious. It was a room specially prepared by the warriors. I think I heard at first glance that it was one of the best rooms in the White Night Castle.
‘The ceiling is so dirty white.’
Is it because of the midnight sun that I can’t stand everything unless it’s white? I took a short breath as I looked at the sparkling ceiling.
“···What are you doing?”
I felt dirty and worried about everything. It wasn’t like this when I first came to the North.
‘Cause I feel dirty.’
It wasn’t difficult to find the cause.
‘Sword Demon, Draka.’
A cub that imitates a human.
Thinking about that face made me feel feverish.
‘I should have hit you there.’
A justification was created.
He made the opponent draw his sword first. I now have a kind of self-defense.
‘It was the best situation.’
Unfortunately, someone who didn’t notice anything intervened, and all the provocations were in vain. Provocation must always be fresh. It seemed unlikely that a provocation used once would work again.
‘How should I get angry next time?’
New provocation.
A language that cannot be overlooked.
A way to control the other person’s emotions in one word.
I tried to picture it in my head, but it wasn’t easy. I groaned, pressing my hand to my temple.
‘···I need someone who can speak well.’
I needed someone to ask for guidance.
“···ah.”
It was a moment when my thoughts went crazy.
There was a person who flashed through my mind. I put my hand inside my robe. After rummaging around for a bit, I found a letter in my hand.
A person who speaks thickly.
A person whose every word is like a dagger.
There was only one person that came to mind.
‘Princess Lruelle.’
I wrote a line on the letterhead. It was asking if the time was okay, and the reply arrived right away.
“I live a busy life every day, so I don’t have much time to relax. However, Professor, there is nothing I can’t give you at least a little time. “What is your business?”
I thought for a while and wrote the letter.
-How do I come up with language that the other person can’t get over, language that will offend them with just one word?
This time there was no immediate reply.
Well, no matter how much she is Princess Leruelle… was this question too unexpected? It was the moment when I was about to sigh.
“It’s not a difficult task.”
A reply came back.
I focused on the letters appearing on the letter paper.
“It seems like a provocation is needed to create a justification. Listen carefully, professor. When making a provocation, you only need to remember two things.”
two?
“one. “Say things that are not obvious as obvious.”
“Make the other person question you like that. Let him inadvertently come up with a rebuttal. Humans are inherently lowly beings. This means that they are beings with an inherent desire to show off their knowledge.”
“Scratch that desire. Induce a reaction.”
“If you start to elicit a reaction like that, half the work is done. “It means that the other person has already started to get caught up in your words.”
“oh···.”
“two. Mix facts and lies.”
“It would be better if we linked it to the first piece of advice. Mix facts with unreasonable lies. Create a ‘plausible’ sentence like that. “Disguised plausibility arouses the opponent’s desire to refute.”
“It’s okay to just ignore nonsense, but it’s hard to ignore words mixed with facts.”
indeed.
I nodded.
“Well, other than this, the more information you have about the other person, the easier it is to provoke. However, you probably know those basic things, so I won’t go into detail about them.”
“If we were to use the above two pieces of advice and give a simple example… it would go something like this.”
The text being printed stopped for a moment.
Soon, a long line of writing came to mind.
“You think you are a normal person, but in fact, it is a delusion. You are abnormal. A crazy bitch like me. To go further, he is a mental patient who believes he is normal. “I express my deepest condolences to the students who are taught by you.”
“It’s nonsense mixed with truth. How is it?”
My eyebrows naturally furrowed.
‘What nonsense?’
I wrote a reply right away.
-It’s just a lie?
“Look. “Isn’t the performance certain?”
-No, it’s just a lie. Isn’t this just nonsense?
“It looks like there’s a corner where you can get stabbed.”
No, what is this princess talking about?
“Anyway, I hope the advice is helpful.”
“I’ll just cut it short. “I hope there are good results.”
Before I could add a rebuttal, Princess Leruelle ended the conversation. I stared at the letter with a very strange expression on my face.
“It’s not real.”
First of all, the example seemed wrong.
However, there was something about the advice that made sense. I took out only what I needed and closed the letter.
“Uhm…”
The example is a bit weird, but it was helpful. I felt a little relieved inside.
“···I have to finish my work.”
I let out a short breath and stood up.
Before handling personal matters, there was work to be done first. Surprisingly, it was a special lecture requested directly by the parents.
‘Where is Lark’s room?’
I walked out of the hallway, trying to remember.
3.
“······Humph!”
Jump up.
Lark stood up from the bed.
It’s a feeling that makes my spine stand on end. I have a gut feeling that something big is about to hit me. It was a feeling I felt often recently.
‘Ordeal is coming!’
I don’t know what it is.
Lark closed his eyes and listened. The ordeal was coming. Making the sound of human footsteps.
widely.
The cheerful sound of shoe heels.
Lark listened to the sound of footsteps echoing at a certain distance. The sound got closer little by little.
‘The sound of these footsteps…’
Lark was just trying to picture the owner of this sound in his mind. Suddenly, the approaching ordeal knocked on Lark’s door.
-Lark, are you there?
Trials call to you.
-Would you like to come out for a moment?
Lark was sweating and holding his breath.
My instincts warn me that I shouldn’t answer. However, the world did not take Lark’s side.
-hmm? Master Lark is inside.
A familiar voice is heard outside the door.
It is the voice of the butler who has been by his side since he was young.
‘Sebas!’
Lark lets out a silent scream.
-What, is it in there?
I got caught. When caught, quick action is key.
Lark ran out of the room in a huff.
“Bang, I just woke up!”
“Oh yeah?”
“What’s going on?”
Rania answered Lark’s question.
“Well, it’s nothing special.”
She smiled.
“Let’s go hiking with me.”
A word from the author (author review)
The number one princess who cannot be left out when talking about people with a rough mouth.
*I think I will be serializing this week on (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday)!
This week is an exception, but if nothing special happens, there is a high probability that (Monday/Thursday) will be a holiday.
The standard is to publish 5 times a week, but we would like to avoid taking a day off every other day.
