Episode 62. ellis wert (2)
July 2, 988, according to the Genesis calendar.
Ever since my previous life, I have never forgotten this day.
No, I should say that I couldn’t forget it.
Without any malice or purpose,
Who treated me with only a sincere heart,
Because it was the last day I saw Elise alive.
-smart
I knocked on the door and waited for 2 seconds, determined to maintain the minimum courtesy.
When there was no answer, I naturally opened the door to the president’s office as if opening a door to my own home.
-Suddenly
“… … !”
President Kundel was frowning, as if he was swearing at me.
In front of him was Elise, with her eyes wide open like a startled cat.
“draft?”
Without hesitating even for a second, my sister called my name.
That face, that smile.
It was the same as it was decades ago.
It took a blink of an eye for him to rush over to me and pat my head.
“What’s going on here? “Did you really think I was there?”
“Is that possible? “I came because I had a personal meeting with the president.”
Of course it’s a lie.
I just came to visit in advance because I knew my sister would visit the president’s office first.
Is it because of your mood that you feel the president giving you a negative look, as if asking when did you request a meeting?
“I’ve never seen you before and you’ve become a complete man? “Do you think it will soon surpass my height?”
“I think you can do it if you get out of those shoes right now.”
“Your crooked personality is still the same!”
My sister said, pulling my cheeks hard.
Two years passed by as smoothly as water.
Just as she returned here after living abroad for two years, I too was now here after living at the academy for two years.
“Surprising? I thought you went to Belias because it was vacation? “Why are you still at the academy?”
A leisurely summer with warm sunlight shining down on the earth.
Academy students on vacation are largely divided into two categories.
Students returning to their hometowns and taking a break.
Students who remain at the academy and continue self-directed learning.
In the latter case, it is closer to coercion than choice, and students who do not meet the required grades required by the academy within the semester stay behind and take supplementary classes.
Of course, I’m not the one to stay here to accept something like that.
Currently, I am a student on vacation after finishing the first semester of my third year at the academy, but I have never returned to my hometown, including the previous two years.
“If you go back, there’s no one to welcome you, right?”
My sister scratched her face at my answer, which seemed to be obvious.
It’s strange to go back that far when there’s no one to welcome you.
This was no different from my previous life.
Even though there were a total of 12 vacations over 6 years, the number of returns was 0.
It’s not just me who didn’t return home, but Kranz as well.
On the contrary, Lady Margaret, who loved him so much, even asked him to visit various parts of the empire and socialize with nobles instead of coming home for vacation, so she said everything.
Well, I had nothing to do with that, so I didn’t bother going around.
This Royal Academy takes students’ convenience seriously, and allows them to live in the dormitory even during vacation.
In the end, I had been living in a dormitory no different from my previous life for three years.
“Did you know your sister was coming?”
“Because the street was so noisy, I knew right away. “There was an uproar over the return of God’s child.”
He deftly ignored the president’s somewhat skeptical question.
“Yes, I don’t want to interrupt the brother and sister’s emotional reunion. Just put what you brought up there and go out with your sister.”
My sister’s eyes naturally turned to the bundle of paper in my hand.
Regardless, I walked over to the president’s desk and placed it on top.
“Even though you are a graduate, there will be no one who can stop you, Ellis. You can stay as long as you want and then go back. “If you want, I’ll even give you a dormitory.”
“Ah yes… … . thank you President.”
It felt like the conversation had been forced to end, but there seemed to be no need to worry.
-Sigh
As I headed toward the door, I quietly grabbed my older sister’s hand while she was standing there.
“Let’s go, sister.”
My sister’s face turned red, perhaps because she was surprised by the unexpected skinship.
* * *
Ellis felt confused about the current situation.
Although he was surprised at the boldness of his younger brother, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, holding his hand, the energy he felt from Sian was clearly different from before.
A mature look that contrasts with the youthful face.
Even the energy of mana that comes out little by little, whether you know it or not.
‘You’ve grown this much in just three years?’
One year at the front line and two years at the academy.

Three years wasn’t a short time, but even I, who had been hearing about geniuses, wouldn’t have been like this.
Somehow, I could feel a sense of alertness in his stern gaze.
‘Are you still thinking about continuing the family legacy?’
Three years ago, when I returned to the mansion, I still could not forget the sight of him saying he would continue the family.
Unlike what I thought was just a child’s vain delusion, the sword he faced at the time was filled with sincerity.
Even though he was fighting with half his strength, he clearly experienced a will that was so strong that he could not break it.
However, Ellis hoped that Sian’s heart would change deep down.
Because the human heart is as light as a feather, it can change at any time.
I did not want to force them to go down the difficult path of protecting the continent.
Instead, if there was something else you wanted to do, I wanted to fully support it.
Because that is a natural thing for an older sister to do for her younger brother.
There was no need to hesitate.
If you’re curious, you can ask directly.
The moment when you smile brightly and open your mouth to Sian.
“Do you really have to go to the Knights of Light?”
“hmm?”
The unexpected question left me completely speechless.
Xian just waited for her answer with a dull face.
* * *
My sister’s reaction was more interesting than I thought.
This was the first time I had seen him so embarrassed that I was speechless.
However, it didn’t take long for the answer to come out.
“Why are you asking that question?”
When a person makes a decision, if there is someone who questions it, the reason is simple.
Because I don’t want it.
I asked this question because I also did not want my sister to join the Knights of Light.
“I’m jealous.”
However, my mouth gave a different answer than what I was thinking.
“huh?”
“If it’s the Knights of Light, isn’t it a place where only the best knights of the empire gather? “This is an honorable knighthood that everyone who holds a sword dreams of, so who doesn’t envy it?”
My sister finally burst into laughter.
“Fuhaha! What else can I say! “Is it really okay for a younger brother to be angry when his sister hopes for the best and it’s not enough?”
If at first glance her joining the Knights of Light seemed semi-compulsory, it would be a big mistake.
Unlike me, my older sister is a woman whose life was set by birth.
She had to use the talent she was born with for the benefit of her family, and she herself did not deny it, but rather wanted it.
The Knights of Light are the highest order of knights on the continent in name and reality, and it is the highest place she can go.
The personal feelings of doing it for the family or for the sake of it are in fact just additional things.
She has always dreamed of being active in the Knights of Light.
But I know.
If I go there, my sister will die.
Ellis Wert, who joined the Knights of Light in the spotlight, dies a miserable death before she can even bloom.
This is the undeniable reality of past life.
They are willing to go into the abyss of death, but will I watch with my eyes wide open?
“Just looking at it, it looks like your desire to continue the family has not changed. At this point, I can’t stop him anymore. “Are you dreaming of joining the Knights of Light too?”
I’ve said this repeatedly, but maintaining the family has long since become none of my business.
Knights of Light?
Even if you ask them to come in, they won’t go.
However, it was her lifelong dream, wish, and duty.
Right now, I have no intention of persuading my sister not to go with foolish words.
Just correcting it.
If pests rush in to eat the flowers that are about to bloom,
We will capture them all and burn them all.
“For the sake of such an amazing little brother, I have to pave the way well.”
However, my sister, who doesn’t know that, can’t help but think my words are cute.
Now we’re almost the same height, but she’s still stroking my head like she’s rubbing a puppy.
“Are you and Kranz doing well?”
At the mention of Krantz, a slight tremor appeared in my sister’s eyes.
Although it may seem like an ordinary question at first glance, it is absolutely not that.
You must be asking the question and wanting it at the same time.
I hope you are doing well.
In my entire life, I have seen my sister extremely angry only once.
When I was about 8 years old, before I entered the academy.
At that time, I was no different from usual, receiving severe beatings from Kranz under the pretext of swordsmanship training.
It was a miserable situation where no one was there to help and Emily was alone in the distance, stamping her feet, but it was a very familiar reality to me from my previous life. My sister saw that scene.
When she returned home for the first time in a while on vacation, she found a scene of an assault unfolding out of nowhere.
At first, my older sister thought it was just a fight between younger siblings.
But she wasn’t stupid.
Kranz’s face was clean and without a single wound, and my face was on the verge of becoming blood clots.
And the moment I saw the people around me watching as if it was a familiar occurrence,
My sister was able to quickly recognize the situation.
It was really my first time.
My sister’s face, which was so beautiful that even flowers would be jealous, became distorted in anger,
The moment when the calm circulation of mana explodes and rages like a storm.
At that time, I may have felt even more fear than when I faced the Demon King.
I guarantee you that if Krantz wasn’t your brother, he would have been torn to pieces on the spot.
No one could handle my sister’s anger.
I still vividly remember him venting his anger at people, asking how they could allow him to get to this point, and asking if this is the true face of the Duke of Berthe, who protects the continent.
To be honest, I wasn’t very happy at that time.
Aside from the fact that my sister took my side, I was so heartbroken that she, who was so innocent, was so angry and sad.
It would be better for me to get sicker and sicker, and I would hate to see my sister like that one more time than to die.
That feeling has not changed even now.
I haven’t seen Krantz once in three years.
Now, there’s no way something like that will happen again,
Honestly, I didn’t even want to imagine how my sister would react if she found out that Kranz and Mrs. Margaret had instigated knights to kill me before I entered the Academy.
but,
“We are almost like strangers.”
“… … why?”
“No matter how much we are brothers, I can’t stand shoulder to shoulder with the guy who tried to kill me, haha.”
My sister’s innocent pupils shook greatly for an instant.
“What do you mean?”
“Two years ago, on the day I left for the Academy, Kranz and the Duchess ordered knights within the estate to assassinate me.”
“… … .”
The surrounding air suddenly became cold.
