Episode 305
* * *
“It feels like the scale has suddenly increased.”
I just laughed off Aveiro’s words.
“The Gunnar Empire… … My lord.”
“why?”
“What are you going to do?”
I answered while sitting on the rose garden terrace and looking at the well.
“what?”
“Isn’t it true that Your Majesty would rather not use the name ‘Valantier’?”
There is nothing new about this.
I really hate the name Valantier.
I don’t just dislike it, I detest it.
Because I didn’t like all the kids who went by the name Valantier, Clark Valantier, Peylon, and even the Marchioness.
My childhood was hell, an inescapable prison, because of those kids who bragged about their ridiculous power.
That’s why I hated it.
But, the reason I kept using it even though I hated it so much was nothing special.
I just don’t want to leave my sister alone.
That’s all.
“To be honest, I would like my lord to take up that name.”
“why?”
“I’m lonely, you see.”
I took my eyes off the well.
When I turned my head, Aveiro had a rather serious expression on his face.
Huh.
“I’m not lonely, Inma.”
Aveiro didn’t answer, but just smiled.
At that moment, the teacher sitting on my shoulder spoke.
[Before, do you remember?]
“When was that before?”
[I once asked you if you had any intention of going back to your roots. Don’t you remember?]
I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes.
Now that I think about it, that was also a kind of foreshadowing.
“Did you know from then on? That I am of the blood of the Gunnar Empire?”
[To be exact, I knew it before.]
“When is the transfer?”
[I first saw Ron when I first entered the Ascendant Territory. At that time, he was using the martial arts style of the Taoist temple.]
Ron’s movements were unusual.
Especially when fighting, his movements were nimble, heavy, smooth, and also destructive.

To be honest, Ron’s movements were so unique that he could compete with those who were clearly beginner masters, even though he was a 9th circle Ron.
That’s a martial art called Musinryu.
And this is a side note, I’m sure I’ve seen something similar to Ron’s movements somewhere, but strangely enough, I can’t remember where.
It’s not that I have a bad memory, but I strangely feel like it’s deja vu.
anyway.
[I could tell from your attitude that I had never told you in detail about Arthur in your previous life.]
“… … .”
[Why do you think so?]
“I don’t know.”
The teacher raises his hand and sweeps my hair away.
[Arthur, my… … .]
The teacher just kept his mouth shut.
Should I say this feels cheap?
I’m not joking, I’ve never had anything like this in my life.
You’re saying that and then cutting it off in the middle? Of all people, our teacher?
[I remember what you said to me before.]
“What do you mean?”
[It wasn’t a coincidence that you and I met. It was destiny.]
I did it a while ago, I did it when I first met the teacher, and I think I did it periodically.
The teacher smiles brightly.
[That’s right. You and I were destined to meet. It was inevitable. Yes, this was definitely inevitable.]
I was silent.
Not just me, but Aveiro too.
Because, the smile of the master who is now a doll.
It was too bright.
It was really so bright.
That smile you showed me back then in my past life.
For a while, I looked at my teacher’s smile.

I’m probably laughing right now too.
After a while, the story continued where it had been interrupted.
“I don’t know yet.”
[What?]
“The reason I dislike the name Valantier is purely personal.”
The Master and Aveiro listen quietly.
“I don’t know anything about the name Gunnar. I don’t intend to take it just because it’s the name my mother used.”
[so?]
“I’m going to just watch for now.”
[You’re watching?]
“yes.”
No further words were spoken after that.
If I had done that, it was obvious that Master or Aveiro’s expression would have been a little worse.
It would have been better not to say that the entire organization called Dokwan could disappear into my hands.
Bloodline? I don’t care.
There would be a lot of advantages to using the name Gunnar, but I don’t care about that.

As for the name issue, let’s think about it again after we’ve torn everyone involved in it to pieces and burned them.
“By the way, what happened to the ship?”
Aveiro scratches his head awkwardly at my question.
Before leaving for Ismael, at this exact place, I spoke with Aveiro about the ‘ship’.
My sister said it was a surprise gift she had prepared for me.
But I think it will take a while to build it, so I said I will support you from behind and if it doesn’t work out, I will look for a new ship.
Judging from his expression, he probably couldn’t get it.
“It’s a little different from the ‘ship’ you want, my lord, but I’ve prepared something similar.”
What? Did you save it?
But why is your expression like that?
“Do you know if there are any class ratings for ships?”
He nodded.
“1st, 2nd, 3rd grade, something like that?”
“Yes, you know. My lord had just left for Ishmael, and I had been looking around, and I found a ship that was quite suitable. It was a first-rate ship, and it had a whopping 98 cannons. It was also called a ship of the line.”
So, you’re saying that you saved it.
“Where is it now?”
“We are at the Rotterdam docks.”
He nodded.
“great job.”
“… … .”
“Why is your expression like that?”
“… … That’s right, it hasn’t been that long since I bought that ship, so I haven’t been able to erase the ‘name’ yet.”
He tilted his head.
“If it’s your name, what’s the name of your ship?”
“yes.”
“What is your name?”
“… … My divorced wife, she says.”
I burst out laughing.
That’s why your expression was awkward.
“Leave it alone. What does the name matter? As long as it goes well, that’s fine. Are you okay?”
“It’s the best.”
“Contact me in advance. I think I’ll have to go out to sea on that boat the day after tomorrow.”
Aveiro nods.
If she’s a divorced wife, she’s called an ex-wife.
It was a little funny that they named it after a ship.

Oh, before that.
I told you I looked lonely.
He turned his head and stared blankly at Aveiro.
There were a few things that surprised me after I came to this territory, Aveiro and my older sister.
The way they looked at each other was somehow… strange.
“… … What is on my face?”
“well.”
“… …Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Why would that be?”
“… … .”
“you.”
Aveiro gulps as if he sensed something.
“It’s just a feeling, you know.”
“Yes… … Yes.”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
“Okay. Don’t worry about it.”
I was about to turn around when I stopped.
Because Aveiro stopped it.
“… … My lord?”
“why?”
“… … You misunderstood.”
I ended up laughing again.
I’m really quick-witted.
Different from everyone else.
“Aveiro.”
“yes.”
“The human mind isn’t something that can change just because someone forces it to do this or that.”
“… … .”
“I know because I’ve lived for quite some time, but deeply engraved emotions, gazes, and feelings. These are not easily forgotten. The same goes for the feelings derived from them.”
“My lord… … .”
I reached out and touched the guy’s shoulder.
“Looking at their gazes and the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem one-sided, and it seems like they both have each other in their hearts. Phew.”
“… … .”
“Even if you said you’d serve me, I have no intention of interfering with every single aspect of your private life and giving you orders. Your life is your life, and my sister’s life is also my sister’s life. But.”
I put some strength into my hand.
Advertisements
Come to think of it, this guy is really amazing in so many ways.
I covet my lord’s sister… … Hiya.
That’s amazing.
“Since when?”
“… … It’s been a while. But don’t misunderstand. We never had any physical relations or anything like that.”
As I look at the fidgety Aveiro, I just can’t help but laugh.
The guy also had this kind of appearance.
“The age difference is quite big, but it doesn’t matter. I respect all my sister’s choices. I respect yours too. Of course, if a brat like you were to try to get you, I would quietly chop you up into pieces and bury you in the back mountain, but not you.”
Instead.
“Just keep this in mind.”
Gulp, the guy’s throat gurgles.
“Please speak.”
“It’s okay to get your hands wet, my sister is very good at making things. You can ask her to cook for you, she’s good at cooking too. But.”
He reached out with his other hand and placed his hand on Aveiro’s other shoulder.
“Don’t let the tears fall.”
I don’t know if I should call it trauma, but in my previous life, my older sister cried a lot.
When I think of the tears I shed when life fell into the gutter, I can’t even begin to imagine how much it was.
Well, the tears shed are enough.
Nothing more than this.
I don’t want to interfere, but it’s okay to give some advice.
“I trust you, and I know what kind of guy you are. But if you do something that would make my sister cry, I don’t know.”
“My lord… … .”
“I really want you to be happy in this life. If you’re not sure about that, then don’t start and stop here. I’ll ask you one last time. Are you sure?”
Aveiro, who closed his eyes for a moment, slowly opened them.
Hard eyes.
And the guy nodded with a confident look on his face.
“Okay, that’s fine.”
He released his grip and leaned against the railing again.
“A lot has changed compared to my previous life.”
That was my impression.
Two days passed like that.
Chapter 3
As expected, no one has approached me in the past two days.
You kindly, very kindly, gave me a chance to find light by embroidering myself, but if you don’t respond, it means you think I’m a fool.
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

“Your Majesty, are you really going to throw all of this away?”
He nodded.
Then Ron gave a light gesture and gave an order to the twenty Death Knights lined up, and the Death Knights began to move busily.
Rotterdam.
It was formerly an estate ruled by the Count Maurice family and was located quite close to the Marquis Valantier family.
A spectacular sight was unfolding at the pier of that estate.
First of all, the huge ship that appears before your eyes.
Line up.
The ship had the words “ex-wife” written in very large letters.
The ship was equipped with dozens of cannons, and those cannons.
Knights in black armor were picking them off one by one.
“Can we really just throw it away? If we do that, the name ‘Battleship’ will lose its meaning.”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
“They say there are 98 cannons attached.”
“Yes, it was.”
“There’s no need to shoot that, so why put it there? Besides, the weight of it won’t make the ship go any faster. Oh, come to think of it, I forgot about that. Hey!”
I point to a Death Knight with my hand and he looks at me.
(Yes, go ahead, my lord.)
“Take out all the cannonballs in that ship. I’ll give you 30 minutes so we have to leave right away. Hurry up.”
(Choo-woong-!)
Ron, who was next to me, scratched his head awkwardly.
“But are you and I going alone?”
For the moment, I didn’t answer, but just nodded and pointed to the teacher who was sitting quietly on my shoulder.
Ron realized his slip of the tongue.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Is it just the three of us, Valentine, the young master, and me, going?”
“Uh. For now.”
I was going to take my older sister with me if possible, but I just held back.
Take your sister with you, knowing what will happen there.
Of course, I left some room for it.
“I told you to take care of everything that needs to be done in the territory and bring the Death Knight when you have time, but I don’t know if he’ll come.”
“Probably, he will come.”
Ron seemed convinced.
“Noah was very curious about where he was born and how he grew up.”
“My older sister?”
“Yes. It was when I was young, but I guess you don’t remember?”
Advertisements
He shrugged.
No matter how good my memory is, I can’t remember everything.
“I think he’ll come in two or three days at the latest. Riding on a carpet.”
We are kind of the advance party, and my sister and Aveiro are the rearguard.
I think it would be easier if you understand it that way.
The preparations are complete.
“Let’s go.”
“yes.”
