Chapter 71 – 71. Drinking party under the moonlight (2)
“Is your left hand okay?”
“… … .”
As soon as I sent away the grumbling Findeneye, this time another strange face came.
The Sorcerous Judge Tyrn Ol Bellokus and the Commander of the Guard Knights Gloria Grace.
The two men were wearing civilian clothes rather than the robes or armor they usually wore, which was also the king’s consideration.
Because of this incident, not only the Archmage, but also me became at odds with each other, but it was actually a misunderstanding, so if there were any emotional difficulties, they should be resolved over drinks.
“Hmm.”
That’s why Gloria clears her throat because it feels awkward, but speaks clearly.
“I am a follower of Your Majesty’s orders. With his sword he can only move if he wills.”
“… … .”
“If Your Majesty gives the same order next time, I will quietly follow it. But… … .”
Tyrun, who was next to me, let out a helpless smile as he watched the conversation go on for a long time. I was silent, looking up at her as she sat.
“I didn’t think your Majesty was wrong. sorry.”
Self-reproach, thinking that this would not have happened if he had known, and guilt for not being able to recognize that a problem had arisen with the King’s life as a sword.
I take a sip of my drink while looking at Gloria who bows her head to me.
“Does not matter.”
“… … .”
“You just did your part. “I have no feelings about it, so don’t worry.”
Gloria slowly raised her head in response to my answer. Tyrun, who was next to me, chuckled and said.
“Look. Are you not the type of person to care about such things? “He’s a great person.”
“Hmm, I also heard that you will be part of the royal family in the future. i look forward to.”
Gloria offered to shake my hand, but one of my hands was wrapped in bandages and the other was holding a glass.
Gloria tried to pull her hand away, probably thinking it was a mistake, but I put down the glass and held her hand.
“Please take care of me.”
Considering the progression of the story, she is not someone you can just ignore.
Therefore, I planned to create a strong relationship first.
“Aren’t you two going to stop talking? “I think we have become colleagues who will serve the same king anyway.”
“Uhm, then… … .”
“Do whatever you want.”
Gloria, who was watching me closely, nodded with a more at ease look on my face.
“Okay, I’ll take care of you.”
That was the end of the conversation between the two people. We weren’t close enough to have a long conversation anyway.
People gathered around the huge piece of meat that was being grilled to see if it was slowly getting cooked.
I was still sipping alcohol in the same spot. There was no sign of any particular intoxication.
“Is there an empty seat?”
Then another man approached me. He was King Orpheus, who needed to be at peace.
I tried to get up, but he gestured and sat down next to me.
“I want to drink it too, but they told me to hold on for the sake of stability.”
Orpheus clenches and opens his hands as if he is empty. He needed rest right now because he was possessed by a demon.
He turned his gaze to the fire and grinned.
“Yes, you have overcome all three trials. Congratulations! “Honestly, I didn’t think I could do it.”
“It’s only natural that they were the ones with high levels of difficulty.”
“Tsk, that’s right. “Even when I think about it, I can’t help but feel that it’s vicious.”
Defeat the Sorcerous Judge Tyrn Ol Belokus.
Solved Eleanor Luden Griffin’s nightmare.
Lastly, the mystery of the late king’s will, which can be considered a secret of the royal family, was solved.
“You will be given ample compensation, but is that really okay?”
“… … .”
Before I knew it, his gaze had landed on me. The emotions contained therein were worry and concern.
“It’s going to be a pretty confusing time. “You will receive ridicule, criticism, and even more than you expected.”
“That applies not only to me, but also to the kingdom.”
“Isn’t that the responsibility I must bear?”
That was correct.
It was just right, so I unconsciously nodded in satisfaction.
It was natural for the royal family to receive criticism and condemnation regarding warlocks.
But Orpheus did not like the idea of me being the subject.
“Wouldn’t it be better to move forward step by step, revising the laws against warlocks?”
I shook my head when asked if it would be better to first eliminate the perception of them.
“It’s too late. And it will be even more unacceptable.”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t worry.”
When I answered firmly, Orpheus nodded slightly and said that he understood.
This was the part where I could feel his infinite trust in me.
“Oh.”
Orpheus is clapping incongruously and looking away.
“How old did you say you were?”
“I’m twenty-eight.”

“Hmm, I see.”
Orpheus, who had been nodding exaggeratedly, cleared his throat and deliberately changed the subject.
“Well, you often spent time here with my sister, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I heard that you two spend time together quite often, so I guess you two are closer than usual?”
“… … .”
“… … Did you notice it?”
I didn’t bother to reply to Orpheus, who was scratching the back of his head, but just moistened my lips with alcohol.
He sighed and tapped his shoulder.
“Think about it. Eleanor seems to like you quite a bit, and I think I would welcome you as well.”
“… … .”
“And at 28, isn’t it an age where it wouldn’t be strange to be married and have children?”
I took my mouth off the glass and answered slowly.
“I have a fiancee.”
“what?!”
Orpheus looks at me in confusion with an expression that says he couldn’t even imagine.
“Off, I almost crossed the line. “I’m sorry.”
Orpheus was so shocked that his horse was bitten.
He did not break off his engagement with Erica to make it easier to end his relationship with Gideon.
‘I have some use too.’
Being engaged to her is a good way to silence other people’s useless interference.
‘Maybe going back to the academy will suffice.’
Certainly, I think Erica would have found her original independence enough to bring a letter of divorce.
From then on, I won’t be able to use the shield called my fiancé, but anyway, I planned to use it as much as I can now.
“I didn’t know you had a lover.”
“It is a marriage between families.”
“That’s right.”
The reaction that I knew would happen was somewhat bothersome.
I see a maid running from afar. She seemed to have come in search of King Orpheus.
“Oops, I got caught. “I’ll just leave now.”
“I hope you have a comfortable night.”
“Yes, you too, drink in moderation. Now he is the only warlock recognized by the kingdom. “He is precious.”
The steps of King Orpheus, who tapped his shoulder, were full of strength.
Through this incident, my mind did not collapse and my body was not taken over by evil spirits.
As I looked at his back, which had obviously grown further, I hid my smile with a glass of wine.
“Deius! “Come here and eat some!”
Darius calls out to me, holding the cooked meat and swinging it in the air.
Deia also glanced at me and gestured, so I slowly got up and approached the two people.
“Drink while eating snacks. “Don’t get drunk like you did at the mansion.”
I’ve heard quite a few stories about how in the past, Deius was wandering around the mansion as he became disoriented.
I don’t know how tolerant I am to alcohol, but no matter how much I drink, I don’t even get drunk.
“Ah, hands.”
Deia, who handed me the meat, looked at my left hand and hesitated for a moment.
Then he slowly pushed the meat towards my mouth.
“I made it that way, so I take responsibility.”
“… … “You don’t have to eat it.”
I didn’t really feel like eating meat. Since it was a cool night, I just wanted to enjoy a drink in silence.
“Are you going to embarrass me?”
Deia is irritated and glaring at me. She sighed countless times and took the meat she gave her and ate it.
“Oh, oh!”
Darius, who was watching it from the side, looks at us with an moved expression.
Even though Deia and I’s expressions turned sour at the same time, he didn’t care and held out his glass.
“Ego! The closeness of our three siblings means the strength of the Verdi family! “Give me your cup!”
“Oh, not even you.”
Beside him, Deia frowned and glared at Darius.
Tuk.
I held out my hand and clinked our glasses.
“oh! Oooh!”
Darius, who was touched by that, burst into tears, and his eyes and mine turned to the youngest child at the same time.
“Betrayal?! Oh, really.”
In the end, Deia held out her glass as if being pushed.
The three of us clink our glasses against the backdrop of the flames of the campfire, creating a cheerful sound.
I slowly drank my drink as the scene suddenly reminded me of the Dowon resolution I saw in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
“to be touched! “I didn’t think we would have anything like family love!”
Darius, who was very happy, came between me and Deia and put our arms around each other’s shoulders.
At that moment, I pulled away due to the bullet wound on my left shoulder, and Deia got angry.
“Are you drunk?! He thinks it’s you! “You need to be careful!”
“I’m sorry.”
Darius immediately curls his tail and apologizes. In fact, when it comes to injuries, Darius’s was more severe.
“Ugh, are you okay?”
Two people focused on me. I glanced at her left shoulder and casually said to Daya, who was worried.
“Shouldn’t you have shot a little more gently?”
“… … hmm?”
“huh?”
Two people looking at each other while speaking in the same voice. Then, with a nervous expression, he starts talking gibberish.
“Second, the gun could have been fired gently? ah! Well, since it’s a gun containing mana, if you control it… … .”
“Was something like that even possible? “If its power is determined by the user’s skill, it seems to be a fairly sophisticated item.”
Looking at the two people who were taking it quite seriously, I felt a little awkward and blurted out.
“It’s a joke.”
Two people who are stiff.
They looked at me again at the same time and about 3 seconds later.
Let out an exclamation.
“Nongdaaaaaam?! Deius? “That Deius was joking?!”
“No, where did you learn that? Of course it is! He’s a guy who only drinks and women every day… … !”
The commotion spread instantly.
“The professor was joking? Really? “What did you say?!”
“The owner ignored what I said, so let’s see what he said.”
[The disciple also has a cute side, right?]
Seeing the crowds of people and ghosts.
“ha.”
Annoyance flooded in like a flood.
