Chapter 1145
Episode 260 Family succession ceremony (2)
“Say something dull. Have a chat with us and then go to Jin. Wouldn’t that guy be nervous too? When I heard it, I heard it was something I had dreamed of since my previous life. “Go and console him as a father and console him.”
“Even if the era of peace has arrived, Runkandel is still Runkandel. “Do you think that kind of thing suits us?”
People nodded. This was because I knew what Siron had shown so far after overcoming his demonic nature.
“… … Hmm, I see.”
There are three hours left until noon, when the family succession ceremony begins.
Siron spent two more hours talking with those who sat down. They were ordinary stories. In other words, it was a story about life.
“Ozdock.”
[Yes, old man!]
“The succession ceremony begins in an hour, so tell people to come inside.”
[I understand!]
“Okay then, let’s all see each other later.”
Soon Siron stood up and walked to the balcony on the top floor of the mansion.
“father.”
It was Jin who was standing on one side of the hallway leading to the balcony.
“It looks like you were waiting.”
“Yes, my father will receive guests here.”
“You brat, are you already trying to pretend to be the master with this father? “There’s still an hour left.”
Shiron looked at Jin with a smile.
“You seemed busy these days, Dad. “Every time I visited him because he wanted to talk, he went to meet someone.”
“What did you want to talk about with me?”
“I just wanted to talk about life. “I secretly expected you to pour me a drink because you felt like it.”
“Hmm, you’re talking about it as if it’s a big deal.”
The father and son went to the balcony together.
When the two people appeared, those gathered in the Garden of Swords shouted so loudly that the sky trembled.
“It reminds me of the old days. “It’s the banquet you held when you became a five star at the age of fifteen.”
“Even back then, my father and I stood on the balcony like this and looked down at the courtyard.”
-How many guests do you think there will be?
-My guess is that there will be a thousand people.
-Yes, I also received reports that it was exactly like that. Lastly, compared to the last time we held a banquet seven years ago, the number of guests increased by about two hundred. Do you know what that means?
-It means that in the seven years since the last banquet, our family’s power has become stronger.
-Accurate. Banquets with about 1,000 people are common in other families as well… The thousand people gathered here are each and every one of them outstanding. There is not a single one of them who is a piece of trash, no matter what.
The father and son simultaneously recalled the conversation they had that day.
“I told you then that if I were to disappear one day, many would turn their backs on Runkandel. But now that I have you, no one will want to mess with Runkandel. “This is the era you created.”
“This is an era that could not have been achieved without my father.”
“That applies to everyone who fought together. But the main character is you. “You led the fight to victory.”
Jin no longer felt awkward or uncomfortable receiving compliments from Siron.
“What did you want to do when you became the head of the family?”
“I want to live as I want.”
“As always, it’s a bold answer. The head of the house will continue to be in charge of internal affairs anyway, and there will be no need to fight external enemies… “It will be a leisurely place.”
“Father, what do you want to do from now on?”
Jin asked in a calm voice. Shiron opened his mouth without hesitation.
“I want to be free.”
The rich man looked at the crowd looking at them in silence for a while. Time seemed to pass quickly. It was time to start the succession ceremony.
“Let’s go down.”
“Yes, father.”
Drums and voices were ringing, signaling the start of the event of the century. As the guardian knights lined up in perfect order and took their positions, many people held their breath at the same time.
Siron and the riders took their seats on the platform first, and the knights of the Jin Eun family stood facing each other at the starting point of the path made.
All of the VIP seats on both sides were filled by Jin’s colleagues.
The head table was, of course, Gilly’s. She couldn’t hide her red eyes from the moment her jeans came down.
Jin felt sorry for Gilly. Murakan should have been next to her at this moment.
[The 59th head of Runkandel, Jin Runkandel, please come forward.]
It was Lucy.
A thousand years ago, as the representative of Runkandel, she stood next to Siron with Reet, Bail, and her daughter Haylin. Behind them stood Alpen, Tasha, and Ballas.
The knights all raised their swords and crossed their blades. Jin slowly walked between them and moved forward.
The brothers were waiting at the end of the road. Luna, Runtia, Mary, Jonah, Daytona, Heytona. One by one, the six riders knelt down on one knee before Jin and kissed the back of his hand.
The Runkandel family succession ceremony was originally supposed to be much more formal than this, but Siron and Jin decided to keep it as simple as possible.
Since a banquet was scheduled in addition to the succession ceremony, the intention was not to further bore the people who had already been waiting outside for at least a few days or as long as a month or more.
Soon Jin knelt down on one knee in front of Siron.
“jin.”
“I will listen, matriarch.”
“Being the head of Runkandel is just a superficial position. Even if you don’t have this status, everyone in the world now knows what you have accomplished, what fights you have fought, and what a great era you have ushered in. “Stand up.”
Jin stands up and faces Siron.
“From today onwards, you are the sole owner of this garden, Jin Runkandel. You may have always felt indebted to the world, but the world also owes you a great debt. So from now on, live as you want. Don’t get caught up in your status as the head of the family. “You have already fulfilled your responsibilities to your family and the world.”
I fulfilled my responsibilities to my family and the world.
Jin didn’t really think so. But hearing those words directly from her father made her feel like something heavy was lifted from her heart.
“It may feel a bit bland, but this is the end of the succession ceremony. As of today, I have become a knight rather than the head of Runkandel, so I hope everyone will treat me without difficulty during the banquet that will continue for ten days from now. The boring time is over, so everyone, have fun. Lastly, I would like to ask for a round of applause for my son, who has become the head of the family.”

It was a very unfamiliar scene for Siron to ask for applause for someone. This was especially true for those who knew him.
However, to those who stayed close to him after the war and got to know him well, it was not that big of a deal. He was no longer a fearful, difficult, and distant father to his children.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the applause continued, colorful magic and fireworks colored the sky.
“ruler! Now, let’s start Runkandel’s banquet, the Single Tree Bridge Party! “Even if the world came back from the end of the world, if you still haven’t settled your debts to each other, have a cool fight at this banquet and shake it all off!”
[As you all know, this banquet is specially open to all knights of Runkandel, including the new head of the family, Sir Jin Runkandel, and all warriors of the Bamal Alliance. Who will be the lucky person who will receive the swords of the matriarch Jin Runkandel, the sword god Siron Runkandel, the warrior Lord Ban, the white whale Lord Luna Runkandel, and the demon king Orgal! The challenger will never suffer any injury worse than a fracture!]
As Jet and Ozdock raised their voices, tables filled with alcohol and meat suddenly appeared from all directions.
At the same time, all the doors in the park leading to the banquet hall were opened, and the warriors were rushing forward as if it were a running race. With the thought that if not today, then when will I mix swords with these legends?
“Actually, it’s a sparring event that will be held every year from now on, but I feel like I’m being lied to as soon as I become the head of the family.”
“After the banquet, aren’t you going to leave the Sword Garden for quite some time? So it’s not a lie. “No one will be able to spar with you at the next banquet.”
“That’s right, father. “I feel embarrassed and sorry that I left the Sword Garden for such a long time as soon as I became the head of the family.”
Siron smiled at those words.
“This father has been in the Black Sea longer than he has been in the Garden of Swords. Are you giving me notice?”
“This is the taste of the power of the sword family head… … .”
The father and son chuckled together and walked toward the banquet hall.
And for ten days.
The protagonists of the Demon God War faced countless challenges, but were never defeated, once again impressing upon people the majesty of the Runkandel and Bamul alliance.
“… … Ten days have already passed. “I was surprised to see that there were a lot more people than expected who gave money at the banquet.”
“That’s right, master. However, there are not many people who now regard each other as enemies of Cheolcheon. In the future, banquets will also play a role in resolving appropriate resentment between people.”
“Is it like a cute war? “If it lowers the possibility of a real war breaking out even a little, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hold banquets more often.”
Jin looked at the strawberry pie on the table.
To be exact, it was a trace of strawberry pie. The strawberry flavor and crumbs were all that remained, as if my colleagues and brothers had already devoured it as if they were fighting over it being the best strawberry pie they had seen in a long time.
I’m sorry, Gilly.
Jin swallowed those words. Those words only make Gilly sadder. These are just words that bring out the difficult face she is trying so hard to hide.
“I’m sorry, master.”
But suddenly Gilly looked at Jin first and lowered his head.
“… … suddenly? what? “First of all, hold your head up. Gilly is someone who doesn’t need to say sorry to me no matter what he does in the future.”
Gilly buried her face in Jin’s shoulder for a while and swallowed her tears. Jin patted her shaking back as she tried to hold back her tears.
“young master… … .”
“Yes, Gilly.”
“Lord Siron… “I left this note for you.”
The note that Gilly took out from his pocket had this sentence written on it.
(You have become the head of the family, but your father has not yet passed Barisada to you.
Come get it, I’ll be waiting for you in the Black Sea.)
