Episode 330
* * *
There was a man looking at another man with his eyes narrowed.
Duke Darmian, commander of the Cradle Kingdom’s navy.
He was that one man.
The man he was looking at was a huge man with a huge sword on his back.
Suddenly, a name flashed through Duke Darmian’s mind.
Grand Duke of Geras.
The teacher who helped Darmian get to this point.
amnesty.
Darmian, who had a special relationship with him, thought that the face of the man he was looking at now resembled his own.
It wasn’t just a thought.
The body approached the man as if drawn by something.
oh my god.
Am I dreaming right now?
Darmian walked in front of the man and couldn’t say anything.
They look so similar.
what.
How can this be?
Then Darmian felt as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.
There was no physical damage.
The man in front of me just said one thing.
“It’s been a long time, Marquis Darmian.”
My mouth fell open.
oh my god.
“… … Antos?”
“Yes. This is Antos. You have gone from being a Marquis to a Duke. Congratulations, even if it is a little late.”
Duke Darmian, who was blankly staring at Antos, began to have tears in his eyes.
It wasn’t that the clan was destroyed.
They said his body wasn’t found, but he was still alive.
Darmian knelt down on the spot.
“Meet the eldest son of the Grand Duke’s family-!!”
* * *
It was already expected.
Thanos’ name is Antos Cradle.

The Antos Cradle is Thanos.
The two are synonyms.
Thanos wanted to be called Thanos, not Antos Cradle, but well.
Honestly, what can you do with the name Thanos?
Winner of the Academy Grand Prix Swordsmanship Division.
The strongest prosecutor candidate on the future continent.
That was the end.
There were countless people around Jack, and countless people wanted to join him.
Thanos wanted to earn his keep.
It’s impossible with the name Thanos, but it’s possible with the name Antos Cradle.
That was simply the difference.
Grand Duke Xerath, father of Antos.
He is the hero of the cradle.
A man who was a teacher to some, an idol to others, and a big brother with broad shoulders to lean on to others.
He shouldn’t have died like that.
There are still many who remember him, and Duke Darmian was just one of them.
Antos Cradle pats the shoulder of Duke Darmian, who is shedding tears.
Everyone looked at that sight and remembered it.
And I could feel it.
The Cradle Kingdom will soon be shaken.
* * *
King Deidamia looked serious and lost in thought.
Of course, the Duke of Kapsis was also there with him.
The expressions on these two’s faces were exactly the same, as if they had been copied.
“200 high circle mana users, four masters, and about a thousand ordinary citizens got off at the dock, and the rest left with the ships they had recently purchased from the continental battlefield.”
“and?”
“Among them, 100 high circle mana users, two masters, and Elizabeth Valantie… … ‘that guy’ is now coming to the castle.”
The guy I’m talking about here isn’t Jack Valantier.
Reports of fishing have been coming in for the past few days, and they are even reporting in great detail which fish have taken the bait, which fish have been released, and even the number of fish.
In fact, as the saying goes, it’s best to avoid crazy people when living in this world, and the stewards of the cradle didn’t want to face Jack Valantier.
I thought it would be much better to meet his older sister, Elizabeth Valantier, and so Elizabeth came.
With that guy.

“Anthos… … That guy was alive?”
King Deidamia’s already frowning eyes were now distorted.
“Do-Gwan, how on earth do those idiots get things done… … .”

Duke Kapsis remained silent.
I’m not kidding, things are going really weird right now.
“First of all, there are still several verification procedures left to be completed, but it seems that it is Antos, the eldest son of the Grand Duke’s family.”
“… … .”
“I was at Teslan Academy… no, at Milos Academy under the name Thanos and now.”
Kapsis swallows hard.
To be honest, the return of Antos Cradle wasn’t that serious of a problem.
You can either quietly get rid of them, or use them for political gain, and then later give them a decent title and send them to a shabby fiefdom in the outback. That’s the end of it.
The real problem is.
“Jack Valantier’s ‘disciple,’ he said.”
This was it.
This was really the biggest problem.
Who is Jack Valantier?
He’s crazy.
Since ancient times, a madman must be stopped by another madman, but there is no one as mad as him in the cradle.
Even his disciple.
Marquis Tsipras, who was standing next to Duke Kapsis, said:
“First of all, his growth rate is incredible. Until recently, Antos was a 2-circle mana user. Now, he’s a 5-circle mana user. He’s raised his circles by three in just a few months. And recently, he’s even been publicly courted by Tem-Samit.”
The exact content was as follows.
‘Thanos, that child holds the soul of a warrior. I personally want to take him as my disciple, but it is too bad that he already has a master.’
These were words that just flowed out of Samit’s mouth during the after-party for the Academy Awards, but for the person receiving them, they were not just words that just flowed.
Isn’t he a young talent who is said to be the future strongest prosecutor on the continent?
That talent, although somewhat faded, was still acknowledged by Samit, who was considered the strongest warrior on the continent.
How can I take this as a passing remark?
It’s strange to accept that.
Duke Kapsis swallowed hard and said.
“like…….”
“like?”
“It’s to the point where ‘he’, who was the first swordsman in the cradle, comes to mind. His talent has blossomed, and he is Jack Valantie’s disciple, and the strongest warrior on the continent who has gone under him has his eyes on him, saying he wants to be directly taught by him.”
To sum it up, it’s very simple.
“I think you need to make a decision.”
“… … .”
“Whether to revive the Grand Duke’s family or not.”
Deidmia swallowed and spoke softly.
“For now… …let’s put this story aside.”
Advertisements
“… … .”
“It’s not too late to meet the guy and talk quietly before making a decision. Isn’t that right?”
“Your Majesty, what you say is correct.”
Deidmia made the best decision.
Such conversation continued, and soon after, Elizabeth’s delegation arrived at the Cradle of the King.
* * *
Delegation.
It refers to a group of people who represent their country and are dispatched abroad on a certain mission.
The ruler of the Teslan Kingdom is not the king, but Jack.
Elizabeth, Jack’s older sister and already a Marquis who was carrying out her role without difficulty, was clearly a person who could represent the country.
The question here is, what is the mission?
There were two major issues that were currently hot topics on the continent.
One is the fact that 200 nobles of Canaan and Matthias were killed in the name of the dragon’s wrath.
The other one is the fact that Jack Valantier will be inaugurated as the representative of the Five Kingdoms.
If his older sister Elizabeth had visited the cradle as part of an embassy.
Naturally, the mission is most likely to be for a representative of the Five Kingdoms.
Actually, there was nothing else.
So, neither Deidamia nor the custodians of the cradle said anything about the matter.
Because there really was nothing else.
However, when Elizabeth actually came face to face with the nobles of the cradle, she said something that exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“I brought Antos Yoram, the descendant of the Duke of Yoram and presumed dead, back to the kingdom.”
“… … .”
“This was the purpose of our mission, and now it is over.”
The Wangseong conference hall, where sunlight poured down in a straight line, was plunged into silence.
I’m speechless.
King Deidamia was the same, and so were the others.
“… … That’s the end? Are you kidding me right now?”
Elizabeth instead looks questioning at Deidamia’s words.
“I don’t think the word ‘joking’ is appropriate. I’m being serious.”
Deidmia’s expression turned grim.
Is this bitch kidding?
“Do you find the small and big things between countries funny?”
Elizabeth did not answer.
“The delegation, and the delegation that brought thousands of people, did just that… … .”
“wait a minute.”

Deidmia, whose words had been cut off, opens her mouth wide.
What kind of brat is this?
“Is that so?”
“… … .”
Elizabeth reached out and pointed to Thanos, or rather Antos, who was sitting in a corner.
“I am the sole survivor of a family that was wiped out by an unknown incident. That family is not just any family, it is the bloodline of His Majesty.”
To be exact, it could be called a collateral branch of the cradle.
Blood-related collateral line.
“The survivor of that bloodline has risen to such greatness, and we have safely brought him back to this kingdom. But you call it ‘that kind of thing.’”
Elizabeth’s soft-spoken tone pierced the large lungs of the cradle’s nobles.
King of the Cradle, Deidamia took a deep breath and replied.
“Yes, that part was my mistake. The part where I safely brought the Archduke’s bloodline back to the cradle. Thank you very much. But.”
Elizabeth’s clear eyes and Deidamia’s clouded eyes crossed.
“Really, is that all?”
No matter how he looks, Deidmia is the king of a country.
Since ancient times, these are the kings of a country who can easily control the atmosphere with just a single word.
It was the same with Deidmia.
His words caused the atmosphere in the conference room to quiet down.
Very sharp words.
Elizabeth was not swept away by those words and the atmosphere.
Because she was no longer the Elizabeth of the past.
Leisurely, she says.
“Of course not.”
“……no?”
Those who engage in politics put a lot of meaning into a single word.
Elizabeth took advantage of the mood to convey her message, and Deidamia noticed.
Those words sound like something that shouldn’t be said in a public place.
A smile slowly appears on Deidmia’s lips.
“Thank you for coming. Have you eaten?”
“It’s still before the meal.”
“Then, I guess we should hold a banquet.”
As if she had wanted to, Elizabeth smiled and said.
“I’m looking forward to it. Then, our delegation will wait at the accommodation.”
The meeting was so messy.
