Chapter 752
Episode 185. leftovers(2)
‘King of Knights’ Ballas Runcandel.
As soon as he saw Jin, he burst into laughter.
[Haha! I thought it would take another thousand years for a person like him to come into my family after my grandson. You surprise this great-grandfather again. Shiron, like that guy!]
At the part of ‘That guy’, Jin opened his eyes wide without even realizing it.
It was because there was no one in this world who could dare to call Shiron that way.
But if you think about it, there was no reason why a grandfather couldn’t call his beloved grandson that way.
‘Well, the father in my great-grandfather’s memory is still a boy.’
Ballas is a person who fulfilled his destiny when Shiron turned 15.
And, though Jean doesn’t know, Ballas and Chiron had a relationship similar to that of Ron and Dante.
Among the adults in the family, there were not a few who saw the period when Shiron began to become calm in earnest after the death of Ballas.
The rest of the family had already adapted to Ballas’ outspokenness and showed little sign of surprise.
But even so, Alpen whispered these words into Ballas’ ear, as if he felt uncomfortable calling the current family head carelessly in such a public setting.
‘I’m in my 57th generation, but wouldn’t it be right to respect the current family head a bit more in a place like this?’
However, Alpen’s efforts were put to shame, and Ballas burst into a hearty laugh once again.
[Chuck! Ancestor, it’s okay! Now that Shiron is a bit older, he’s not the type to embarrass this old man.]
‘That guy isn’t enough, so this time he’s a no, he’s in his 57s!’
[Khaha, let’s put aside the trivial things and greet our great-grandchildren.]
Alpen touched his forehead, and Tasha smiled as if seeing her father like that was amusing.
It was to find out that the father’s naive aspect of ‘yes and the law’ was in conflict.
As an ancestor, it was a problem that he was too old to criticize Ballas for his careless words and actions.
Unlike Alpen and Tasha, who were killed in action when they were young, Ballas kept his position as the family head until old age.
Because of this, Alpen was treating Ballas in a difficult way even though he was his ancestor.
‘Anyway, my father has a cute side.’
Tasha was simply delighted to be standing here with the father she never thought she would see again.
“Nice to meet you, great-grandfather. I am Gene Runcandel, Horseman 12.”
[OK!]
Jin waited for Ballas to say more, but there was silence for a while.
Ballas’ gaze as he grinned and examined every nook and cranny of himself was a little burdensome.
‘That’s 57. All members of the family are waiting. Wouldn’t it be better to hurry up and finish the appointment ceremony and return to the front lines? One o’clock is busy.’
[iced coffee! That’s right. I’ve been so happy to see my great-grandson that I forgot about it for a while. The body is strong, the eyes are good, and the spirit that exudes just shines. Isn’t that so even from the ancestor’s point of view?]
‘I do.’
[No, but ancestor, why do you keep whispering from earlier? Do you have a sore throat? Would you like some medicine?]
Tasha’s face nearly burst red from holding back her laughter, and Alpen cleared his throat in embarrassment.
[…] … Hmmm! it’s okay.]
[It’s much better to hear that you say it clearly. Now, great-grandchildren, come closer. When you woke up, we all hurriedly gathered together like students. Do you know how fast this old man ran? The fluttering of these empty arm sleeves made the ground dust fly. I have to hurry up and handle the appointment ceremony!]
Ballas said playfully waving the sleeve that covered his one arm.
At that point, Jin, like Tasha, barely held back his laughter and moved closer to him.
[You must know the meaning of the coat you are wearing, right?]
“That’s right.”
[In addition to the original coat, I should also give you a black sword, Cainer, but I heard that some kind of bug has it. By the way, that bug and Cainer are currently being tracked.]
“Is Joshua alive?”
[In fact, I don’t know if I searched or lived. Not likely to be the former. There are people who have seen him tossed around on the battlefield, bounced by shockwaves. Ran and Vigo are confirmed dead.]
Jin felt a little uncomfortable about Joshua, and a little bitter about Ran and Vigo.
Neither of them was an important issue compared to the rest.
[Anyway, we’ve decided that you should lead the family until Shiron returns. The three of us would not lack authority, justification, and legitimacy.]
The 20th head of the family who was called the Knight of Light 500 years ago and led the battle to defend the kingdom to victory, the 21st head of the family who wiped out the remnants of demons as her daughter, and the 57th head who laid the foundation for the modern runcandel.
Needless to say, the legitimacy of the three was sufficient to appoint Jin as the governor of Soga.
“Even if the three of you act as the Sogaju instead of me being the Sogaju… … .”
[Ugh! It sounds like a candle beating. What do you mean, a specter like us acting as the family head?]
At the word specter, Jin swallowed a bitter sigh.
Of course, as comrades who have gone through the war together, and as ancestors who are needed more than ever. Jin wanted them to continue to exist.
The resurrection of the three was accomplished by adding the power of chaos to the souls of the mausoleum.
If so, when the breasts died, they had to disappear together.
‘If the reason why the manifestations of the three are not over is the result of the power of the Mischievous God not completely extinguished, then the war is not yet over… … .’
The moment Jin thought about that, Alpen shook his head as he looked into it.
[12 horsemen. The magician of Hester has confirmed many times that the power of the evil god has completely disappeared from this world. So feel free to get down on one knee and bow to the 57th.]
Jin gets down on one knee and lowers his head.
Ballas looked down at his great-grandson with deep eyes, the mischief erased from his face.
[The 20th head of Runcandel, Alpen Runkandel, the 21st head of Runkandel, Tasha Runkandel, and I, the 57th head of Runkandel, Balas Runkandel, intend to grant one qualification to the most brilliant horseman in accordance with the family’s long-standing tradition and law.]
The knights raised their swords in unison.
[Jin Runkandel, 59th 12th Horseman of Runkandel. He defended the Garden of Swords from the biggest crisis since the family suffered humiliation from the oath a thousand years ago, and kept the name of Runkandel. Therefore, we officially appoint the 12 horseman as the family’s minor head on behalf of the current head of household.]
Sreung!
Ballas drew his sword and pressed it against Jin’s shoulder.
Jin felt the pain as if his shoulder would break. The pressure made her more painful because her body had not fully recovered.
As the sword gripped his shoulder with more and more powerful energy, the floor of the garden where Jin was kneeling was sinking.
[The 12 riders must stand up against the weight of the sword.]

Jin, who started to get up, trembled his legs as if he was having a hard time.
Ten seconds later, when Jin fully stood up, Ballas nodded in satisfaction.
‘Geuk, this guy pretends to be tough on purpose and even saves this great-grandfather’s face. It could have happened casually.’
Ballas drew his sword.
[As of the present time, you are the head of the family. When there is no family head, when important matters for the family have to be decided, everyone will have to find you first, and when something good comes to the family, you should be the first to take it, and when the family is in crisis, you will have to take all the responsibility.]
“I will keep that in mind.”
[From now on, you are Runkandel, and Runkandel is you. Your words are the laws of Runkandel, and your actions are the will of Runkandel. Turn around and look at your people.]
Let Jin turn around.
All members of the family got down on one knee and placed their right hand on their chest. The brothers holding the flag also bowed their heads and bowed.
It was by far the first time that the head of a household had been appointed without any disagreement from the entire family, including the three previous heads of household.
Jin felt a strange feeling welling up in his heart.
From my previous life to the family throne I so much wanted, now I really only have one step left.
My heart was pounding, but the road ahead was bleak. There were too many separations and sorrows to stand here, and the family was driven to the brink of destruction.
“… … More than my father.”
Jin carefully looked down at his followers.
“I will try to show a much better appearance than the disgraced acting head of the family. Even in the absence of the head of state, I will make it impossible for you to feel the vacancy.”
In fact, the people in the family were stunned by the feeling full of confidence.
I didn’t know Rosa in her human days, but it was not easy to imagine the jockey announcing in front of everyone that he would surpass Shiron.
However, the family members felt the old mood after a long time.
Everyone is thinking of the youth of the 12th class, which was always challenging and unconventional.
Looking back, Jin was always like this.
There was no hesitation in doing things that no one was reluctant to do, and even if everyone laughed at what he said, he always made it happen.
The boy who was shining at that time has now become a giant with a deeper light.
[Kha! He has such a cool personality! This concludes the appointment ceremony. Then, sogaju?]
Ballas winked as if ordering his followers to hurry up.
“Everyone, hurry up and get back to work. Jockeys, bring the reports I need to check myself in 20 minutes and come to the governor’s office. Also, butlers and literati, organize the situation of holding goods and fixtures in the family in detail and upload them to me. From now on, I will rebuild the family.”
“I will serve you!”
As soon as the order was given, the thousands of knights lined up dispersed in perfect order.
In the Garden of Swords, the lord’s command was so absolute.
In an instant, only Jin and the former heads of households were left in the garden.
Jin thanked them and then asked a question.
“Ancestors, and great-grandfathers. May I ask why the three of you can still exist?”
At those words, Alpen smiled faintly and replied:
[12 riders, we seem to exist, but in fact we are slowly disappearing.]
