Chapter 27. The wolf recognizes those who stand up for themselves. (One)
People watched us crossing the Ovest territory with confused faces.
“Ah, why is Master Abel Kindreal over there… … ?”
“I don’t know, what happened?”
Me, standing at the front and leading the people majestically,
“Who is the lady behind you? Are you a noble?”
“and… … oh my god… … .”
Attention was mainly focused on Leah, who cast an indifferent gaze.
‘Melina will feel a little sick to her stomach if she sees it.’
That girl thought she was pretty in the estate.
Of course, Melina is objectively pretty.
However, Leah’s beauty went beyond that category and had an inhuman coldness that made it even more special.
“Now, if you go a little further, you will reach Ovest Castle.”
As a leader of a group, I took the lead and led the way.
“Are you both okay? “I rode a horse for quite a while.”
“Not really.”
As befits Aria’s owner, Leah showed off her dramatically increased physical strength. I had to stop her several times as she tried to get ahead of herself.
If I had the chance, I would like to compete with Leah in horseback riding.
‘Except for the two of us, everyone is ordinary people.’
Not only the Ovest Knights, but also among the group was Mikel, who had barely recovered his leg.
“This is easy.”
He refused to take a horse-drawn carriage and drove a horse himself. As expected, he had the appearance of an old northerner.
“Hehe, but everyone looks quite shocked.”
Mikel wrinkled his nose and laughed.
“It seems that the news of Prince Abel has not reached here.”
“The rumor about our territory is a bit late.”
I responded with a natural smile.
“Plus, it’s a place that outsiders don’t often visit, so it attracts even more attention when strangers come here.”
In fact, the biggest reason is that I, the territory’s bastard, showed up leading the Ovest Knights.
“No, why is that idiot… … .”
“Where have you been so far… … .”
There were some people who tried to say nonsense, but
“… … Hike!”
After receiving my bored gaze, he closed his mouth.
In the end, people kept their mouths shut and just watched our procession.
“… … “Something, a little.”
Leah must have sensed that and made a suspicious expression.
“why?”
“No, in the capital everyone… … .”
Instead of the enthusiastic cheers shown by the people of the capital, it seemed strange to see so many angry faces.
“It’s nice and quiet, right?”
As I spoke calmly, Leah looked me up and down as if she was suspicious.
“Abel you… … .”
“why? “What am I?”
“… … “No, no.”
In the end, we passed through a highway full of shock and fear, and arrived at Ovest Castle.
“This is Ovest Castle.”
While Mikel let out a soft exclamation,
“You’re Abel!”
A figure with a familiar voice came running out in a huff.
“young master! “You’re finally back!”
“oh.”
I was somehow happy to see him, and I burst out laughing.
“Philip.”
“You’re safe! “I’m so glad!”
Phillip rubbed his hands together quickly and laughed heartily.
His impression of being as cunning as a weasel still remained. Except for the fine cold sweat seeping out over my wrinkled forehead.
He quickly got off the horse and approached Philip.
“I didn’t know you would welcome me like this.”
“… … “Isn’t this all natural!”
Philip’s cold sweat began to increase at the sharp point.
“I have been waiting anxiously for Master Philip and Abel to return!”
“Hoo, really?”
I stretched out my hand and grabbed Philip’s shoulder. And then I lowered my head and whispered in his ear.
“Seeing you shaking like this, I guess it’s really like that. “It looks like he’s so happy he doesn’t know what to do.”
gulp.
The sound of spit falling down Philip’s throat was heard from a short distance away. After I let go and step back,
“Well, well, but.”

Philip finally opened his frozen mouth.
“Con… … Why is Vice-Captain Raad behind you? … .”
Why on earth!
His eyes were saying.
‘You must have known that the vice-captain would catch me this time.’`
Even if you can beat Jonas, you won’t be able to beat Vice-Captain Konrad.
It was a truly ridiculous and trivial thought.
“Because I took full command of this subjugation war.”
“… … yes? “What did you say just now?”
“It’s a big deal because you’re getting older. “It’s okay if you have ears like this.”
After turning Philip into a mute,
“I guess you’re ready to serve guests, right?”
I slowly turned my body to see Leah and Mikel standing far away. Philip’s eyes widened when he saw the two people.
“Oh no, that. I found out late that there was a guest… … .”
“I guess the guard commander would have reported the news right away? “You must have known that the Ovest Knights would return today.”
I immediately cut off Philip’s words as he was making excuses. Philip’s eyes wandered wildly, lost in where they should go.
“Well, master… … .”
“First, let’s start with treating guests.”
He looked down at him with cold eyes and said.
“See you later.”
“… … “Yes, master.”
Philip closed his eyes tightly. He had a resigned look on his face, as if he had come.
* * *
After sending Konrad and his knights, who were probably exhausted, back to their lodgings, Mikel, me, and Leah gathered in the dining room.
“oh.”
I smiled at Chef Max.
“I haven’t seen you before, so your appearance has improved again?”
“Yes, yes.”
Thanks to me(?), Max, who was thin, gained weight again. It was noticeable that the clothes, which had become somewhat loose, were now tight again.
“ha ha ha… … .”
Although Max was smiling, I could feel the embarrassment on his face as he was sweating profusely.
I looked away from his face and grinned.
‘I can’t believe this is unfamiliar now.’
It seems that they have become too accustomed to life in the capital.
‘As expected, master!’
Like Elice, who is busy praising me,
‘Of course, the Ovest Knights!’
‘As expected, Abel Kindreal!’
After being among the people who were busy admiring the sights, I felt the difference as I returned to the Obest territory.
‘Yes, this was Abel’s reputation.’
The bastards, scum, and human disaster of the Obest territory.
But now even that doesn’t last long. It is time to erase old resentments and the past and write a new history.
‘In order to do that… … .’
I needed to make good use of the two father and daughter in front of me.
“When will Lord Diego arrive?”
Mikel asked, sitting comfortably in his seat. I glance at Philip,
“You have now entered the gate. “He will be at the restaurant soon.”
He bowed his head politely.
“I heard that Lord Diego frequently vacates his inner castle to protect the border.”
Mikel smiled contentedly.
“We are so lucky that he returned on the same day we returned. “You won’t have to wait long.”
“That’s right. “You were lucky.”
In fact, it was scheduled for the day Diego returned.
“Actually, the news that Lord Mikel is coming has been kept secret until now.”
“Hmm? “Why?”
Mikel slightly furrowed his eyebrows as if he was puzzled.
“Wouldn’t that be a surprise gift?”
“aha.”
Mikel burst out laughing.
“Prince Abel is still the same. Anyway, I’m also very excited to meet Lord Diego again.”
In the original, Mikel did not meet Diego after facing him just once. This is because Diego was murdered by the hands of Abel, who became the demon of Requiem.
‘But now…’ … .’
Thanks to my remaining sane, the unprecedented event of Mikel and Leah visiting the Ovest territory was taking place.
“Huh… … .”
Philip looked at me and blinked.
What was his expression when he found out Mikel’s identity?
It seemed quite shocking that the world’s Abel Kindreal was so close to Mikel, the high lord of the Nord territory.
Then suddenly,
“-!”
Requiem felt the presence of a creature approaching and looked around.
‘come.’
Diego.
As much as it had been anxious to devour him in the past, Requiem had a strong memory of his vitality.
I whispered to the guy who couldn’t stand it and was squirming.
‘Shh, still.’
Now is not the time for that. Fortunately, he soon quieted down following my command.
Requiem was calm even with Mikel and Leah by her side. It was much easier to suppress him with my will than before.
Plop, plod.
The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard faintly outside the door.
“Lord Diego, you are eating!”
The ringing sound of servants is heard,
Squeak-
The huge doors of the restaurant opened slowly.
Trudging.
Abel’s father Diego entered.
Armor with a wolf image carved on the shoulders, and a thick cloak covering the back. Blood that had not been wiped away was spread all over it.
Trudging.
A bloody aura hovered over his rough and rugged face. The blue eyes set in the center twinkled and took in the interior of the restaurant.
“Abel… … .”
Diego’s voice was the same as in my memory. He immediately found my face and stared at it.
“You’re finally here.”
In that one word, more than a feeling of joy, I felt a strong determination, as if he would not let me go lightly.
“father.”
I leisurely got up from my seat and greeted him.
“Have you been at peace so far?”
“you… … .”
Diego’s lips twitched at my calm face. Just as he was about to lose his temper as usual.
“It is good to share the joy of reunion between father and son,”
I dramatically raised my arm and pointed at Mikel.
“Isn’t it the first time a customer comes to us in difficult times?”
“What about guests… … .”
Diego snorted and looked at the direction I pointed,
“Lord Diego.”
When I saw Mikel standing up and smiling happily, I froze in place.
“… … ?!”
At that moment, at the look on Diego’s face, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
‘I can’t believe Diego of the world has a face like that.’
I thought he always had a stiff face or an angry face.
“Mikel… … permanent residence?”
Blank, wide-open eyes, a face that is completely shocked and broken. And even a voice full of bewilderment.
Diego had an unfamiliar face that I had never seen before.
“Hehe, it’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Why are you here… … .”
Despite Mikel’s friendly greeting, Diego could not keep his face at all.
“Didn’t I successfully conclude the northern subjugation war through the recent alliance of several families? So I came to express my gratitude.”
“If that were the case, it would be okay to send the letter, but why?”
Even though he was my father, he was still a stiff person.
‘Do I really have to say that to someone who has come a long way?’
Even though Diego holds the unique title of being the strongest swordsman in the empire, why did he retreat to this outskirts instead of holding on to power?
It was because of that flirtatious and stubborn nature.
“Haha, Lord Diego is still the same.”
Mikel was not particularly displeased with Diego’s attitude. He just widens his eyes and smiles.
“The Ovest Knights have made a significant contribution to this subjugation war.”
“… … .”
“And the greatest achievement among them was,”
Mikel slowly stretched out his hand and lightly touched my shoulder.
“Here, Abel Kindreal Gongzirao. So I wanted to express my gratitude in person, but didn’t Prince Abel say he was returning to the estate? “That’s why I followed along with you.”
“… … “What did you say just now?”
A glimmer of suspicion appeared in Diego’s eyes.
“What did my son… … What happened? exploit?”
Diego turned his face and looked me up and down. It was a close look as if it was disintegrating every part of my body.
“Are you referring to my son Abel?”
