Chapter 16. The eagle is medicine. (5)
‘It’s fundamentally different from Diego.’
Diego, even if he dies, he will not accept help from anyone else.
But Mikel had a family to protect. My daughter, whom I cherish more than anyone else in this world.
“This concludes the meeting. Thank you all for your hard work.”
The three-day noble meeting ended with the aide banging the hammer.
“Hwaaaam.”
I left the conference room while refreshingly stretching. When I looked around, I saw that everyone was walking shakily with tired faces.
‘I can’t believe you’re having such a hard time with this.’
Indeed, they were like the lords who spent a lot of time at their office desks. Still, my complexion was much brighter than the previous two days.
“Oh my… But somehow it ended.”
“I think we can play, eat, and drink comfortably today.”
“I heard the food at the banquet on the third day was the best we’ve ever had, right?”
Everyone gathered together and walked to the banquet hall. However, the tips of my shoes were pointed outside, not at the banquet hall.
“Prince Abel.”
Mikel’s voice caught me like that.
“Lord Mikel.”
“Don’t go alone, let’s go together.”
I stopped in place and smiled awkwardly.
“Thank you for the offer, but I think today will be difficult.”
“Hmm? Are you planning to skip the banquet?”
Mikel tilted his head.
“Today’s event is a good opportunity to make a mark on other nobles. That’s why everyone is eager to attend.”
“I think I’ve already made enough eye contact.”
“That’s right. I’m sure it was taken.”
Mikel chuckled and spoke in a tone of slight concern.
“Are you sure it’s okay? His Majesty the Emperor might be displeased.”
“I really want to attend, but… I’m not feeling well after sparring yesterday.”
He added while massaging his perfectly fine arm.
“I have severe muscle pain and feel dizzy. I think I need some rest.”
“Haha, did you?”
Mikel smiled meaningfully.
“For something like that, your tongue moves well.”
It was a comment that criticized me for suggesting a monster subjugation battle.
“I was barely able to hold on. But now that I’m at my limit, I think it’ll be difficult to get all the way to the banquet hall.”
He laughed heartily, grabbed his arm, and snarled.
“If Your Majesty the Emperor asks, Lord Mikel, please speak carefully. Isn’t it also your fault that I ended up like this?”
“I guess you forgot who requested that sparring?”
Even though Mikel said that, he didn’t grab me anymore.
“Yes, yes. I understand. This position can be quite difficult for young people.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
In fact, there was a high possibility that today’s event would be quite difficult.
‘Because Princess Violet is coming.’
There was no way to know what kind of evil plan that shameless princess might be planning. Especially in a place like today where many nobles are located.
It was good to increase Cain’s medicine, but it was also true that the princess was annoying. Plus, she had a lot of work to do.
“Then let’s go first.”
“Wait a moment.”
When I turned around, Mikel caught me.
“What is your future schedule?”
“It’s hard to say exactly, but I think we’ll be pretty busy until the Harvest Festival.”
“I see. Well, since you’re in the capital, there will be a lot of things to do.”
“I guess so.”
There was a big difference between what he thought to do and what I thought to do, but I agreed for now.
“Then how long will you stay in the capital? Will you participate in the harvest festival?”
“Of course. I plan to stay in the capital until the subjugation war.”
“Hoo.”
Mikel slightly widened his eyes as if he was surprised.
“It looks like you’re not going back to the estate. Would Diego allow that?”
“Father will respect my wishes.”
In fact, since I didn’t say anything, there would be no respect or shame.
“Anyway, it’s good news. I’m planning on staying in the capital for a while, too.”
Mikel smiled and left me.
“I’ll contact you soon. Let’s have a cup of tea.”
A group of nobles followed behind him.
“Hmm.”
Then, Carlo and Cain’s group passed by me. Their stinging gaze tickled my spine.
“joy.”
He snorted once and left the place.

I walked leisurely out of the main building without calling a servant. The carriage I had been riding for the past three days was waiting for me.
“Let’s go.”
We set off straight away and headed towards the castle gate. The guards lined up checked the carriage and opened the door.
At that moment, I saw someone I knew well outside the castle gate.
“It’s true. Really, Master….”
“I can’t let you in without your confirmation. Please wait here.”
“All right…….”
He opened the carriage window and ordered the driver.
“Stop for a moment.”
After stopping the carriage at the castle gate, the window was opened.
“hey.”
At my call, Philip, who was squatting next to the gate, raised his head.
“young master!”
He stood up immediately after checking on me.
“Oh my, my head.”
He must have felt dizzy from suddenly standing up, and continued to let out a pitiful groan. The guard followed him as he stumbled towards me.
“oh.”
I remembered him. It was the same guard captain who had a hard time arguing with Jonas.
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
“thank you.”
The guard captain saluted and continued speaking.
“This person insisted that I must meet Abel. Do you really know him?”
His sharp eyes looked Philip up and down.
“I had an issue ahead of me, so I didn’t hastily let him in and let him stay here.”
“Of course you should, good job.”
The imperial palace was a place where a commoner could not enter with just an ID card. Even ordinary nobles could not go in and out unless they had to do something.
“There’s nothing to be so wary of. He’s the butler of our Kindreal family.”
Only then did the guard captain relax the power in his eyes.
“Is that so? Why didn’t you come with me?”
“I enjoy speed, so I made him come first and follow slowly.”
Philip looked at me with a displeased face as I lied without changing my complexion at all. He soon felt my gaze and quickly lowered his eyes.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work. Let me completely forget about my past.”
“thank you.”
He made the guard captain step aside and motioned to Philip.
“closely.”
Philip hesitated and leaned closer to the window.
“young master.”
Although his clothes were relatively clean, his complexion was worse than last night. It seemed like he had a hard time doing what I told him to do all night long.
Of course, I felt absolutely no sympathy for his pitiful appearance.
“Why isn’t Jonas there?”
Only sharp reprimands come out.
“Ah, that’s….”
“Surely you couldn’t find it?”
“Oh, no! That’s not it!”
Philip made an excuse while sweating.
“I found it, but it’s in no condition to be here….”
“What do you mean?”
My doubts were answered only after I went to the accommodation Philip guided me to.
❖ ❖ ❖
“Hmmmnya….”
A small room in a shabby inn. Only after seeing Jonas asleep on the cheap bed.
“Oh, the smell.”
There was a bad smell coming from him lying on the bed. Alcohol, cheap snacks, the smell of not washing for a long time, etc.
That’s all.
“What is this again?”
Next to the bed were bottles of alcohol that he had disposed of. Just by looking at their appearance, they were all extremely strong drinks.
“Well, that is….”
Philip, who was standing as if he was feeling sorry, explained.
“When I found him, he was already drinking heavily… When he saw me, he threw the bottle and became so vicious that I managed to run away.”
As he said, there were broken pieces of liquor bottles scattered next to the door.
“oh my…….”
Philip continued to sigh as if he could not bear to open his eyes and see Jonas like that.
Well, who can believe it?
That the drunkard snoring loudly in bed right now is Jonas Klein, a promising member of the Ovest Knights.
Just a few weeks ago, the man who had been driving a horse with sparkling eyes and the lord’s seal now looked like an incorrigible beggar.
“Tsk tsk.”
I clicked my tongue and approached the bed.
“Well, master. What are you doing now…?”
Despite Philip’s dissuasion,
Sigh!
I picked up the water cup from the table and sprinkled it on Jonas’ face.
“Upupuput!”
Jonas stood up with a loud noise.
“What?! What kind of bastard are you?!”
The sight of Jonas suddenly spewing out a thick curse was not at all knight-like. Anyone who saw him would believe he was a delinquent wandering around the streets.
“Who the hell… huh?”
Jonas’ face, which had been frantically looking around, stopped.
“You, what about you?”
Jonas’ blue eyes trembled. His yellow beard, soaked with scum underneath, also twitched.
“Oh, Abel Kindreal?”
What the hell. Are you just calling my name?
The moment you try to say something,
“Aaaahhh!”
Jonas jumped out of bed and lunged at me.
“Abel Kindreaul!”
A scream of extreme resentment filled the room.
Boom!
Jonas’ fist was aimed at my face with all his might.
“Tsk tsk.”
Of course, it was a slow punch that made you sigh. It wasn’t accurate due to alcohol and lack of sleep.
This kind of attack could be avoided even with one’s eyes closed. Let’s take a step and avoid it,
“Woah!”
Jonas fell down in the same posture he was running from.
Crash!
A deep kiss was formed between the wardrobe and his face.
“Hey, Sir Jonas!”
Philip, who was watching this, opened his mouth.
“Uuuuuu…….”
Jonas wiped his face and stood up.
Grumble.
Blood ran down his nose. However, even the shock just now was not enough to bring Jonas to his senses.
“This bastard…!”
On the contrary, it only fueled his anger.
“What are you doing?”
It’s not even a name anymore, it’s this kid and that kid. It seemed like I needed some mental education.
“Abel Kindreale! It’s because of you that I am!”
Every time Jonas’ nostrils flared, blood flowed out.
“kill!!!”
Jonas screamed and lunged at me again.
“As expected, the hawk is the medicine.”
Instead of laughing and dodging, he stood there.
“young master!!”
Philip screams,
“Abeelle!”
The moment Jonas’s vicious hand reached for my collar,
Sigh!
A strong fire exploded on Jonas’ forehead.
“Kuh, keuhuh….”
Jonas stepped back hesitantly, holding his forehead.
“Hey, you bastard!”
I thought I would come to my senses if I got hit.
For some reason, Jonas began to run wild like a bull whose butt was hit. It seems that she didn’t have enough medicinal effect from the chestnuts.
“You brought it all on yourself.”
He grinned and clenched his fists.
“dare!!”
His eyes rolled back and he swung towards the charging Jonas.
Boom!
When does the human body rotate? When to dance? When you slip on the floor?
no.
A person’s body spins when hit on the forehead.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Jonas’ body spun around and flew away.
Craddangtang!
And it stopped only after hitting the floor.
“…….”
Jonas’s writhing body suddenly sank.
“Hey!”
Philip covered his mouth and screamed.
“Are you dead?!”
“He’s not dead.”
That’s a gross exaggeration.
I clicked my tongue and crossed my arms.
“I’ve controlled my strength, so don’t worry.”
“But there was a loud noise….”
“Takbam, which makes a loud sound, hurts less.”
It was half right and half wrong. Well, it didn’t really matter.
“Stand up.”
“Yes? Sir Jonas? Now?”
“Then wait until I wake up? I’m so busy.”
Philip approached Jonas with a very tearful expression on his face.
“Off.”
He seemed to have a hard time just holding Jonas up.
Since he was a knight, he was of good stature, and he had been drinking so much that he was sluggish, so he must have been twice as heavy.
‘Ah, it really is a sight that would be a shame to see alone.’
Looking at that, I giggled and slowly stood up.
