Episode 63. ellis wert (3)
As you live in the world, you hear things like this.
Knowledge is power.
Or what you don’t know is medicine.
Both statements are not wrong, but if you ask which statement is more correct, it will not be easy to decide.
So what if we try to compromise the two in a nice way?
I would like to define it like this.
If you don’t know, you’ll be a fool, but if you know, you can at least deal with it.
As the older sister witnessed Krantz’s assault, the family was turned upside down.
Of course it didn’t last long.
She would have to return to the Academy soon, and if my only guardian was gone, I would have to be alone again.
Afterwards, Krantz tormented me in a more persistent and subtle way, and the people around me continued to watch me without changing anything.
My sister said before leaving.
If you have a hard time, tell me anytime.
But I didn’t say anything.
Because I didn’t want to see my sister angry and sad again.
Because then and now, I didn’t want to hide behind a woman’s skirt and avoid reality.
However, as I said before, if you don’t know, you’ll be a fool and you won’t be able to cope with anything that will come your way.
I wanted my sister to know.
How dirty and miserable it is to maintain this family that my sister is trying to protect.
There is no need to protect it by sacrificing yourself.
That is why I am saying this now.
“… … !”
My sister’s right hand is shaking violently.
He seems ready to pull out his sword and run to Belias at any moment.
First, I waited quietly before opening my mouth.
“Is everything you just said true?”
“I don’t say this even as a joke.”
“Then how did you survive and come here?”
At that moment, a man approached us and immediately lowered his head.
“Who are you?”
It was Brian, a young man of about twenty years old, with neat brown hair and simple eyes.
“My name is Brian Kendrick, official knight of New Belias. “Currently, as a guardian knight protecting Master Xian, I am standing by his side.”
“A guardian knight?”
Brian explained the events of the past three years with unwavering, accurate pronunciation.
Although I was instigated by the Duchess, I betrayed her because I judged it unfair, and immediately became my guardian knight and escorted her safely to the academy.
In fact, I talked about everything I did, passing it off as Brian’s doing.
Of course, that’s what I told you to say.
“I don’t understand! “Why didn’t you tell anyone else?”
“There was no one to inform. “Isn’t your father always busy with work at the front?”
“Then at least you should have told me!”
Honestly, I think this is my first time.
My sister was truly angry with me.
But do you know what?
I’ve never had anyone in my life even get angry at me like this.
They say that when you get scolded, you tend to feel depressed and get worse.
Strangely enough, I keep laughing.
Even I think it’s a bit perverted.
I spoke calmly, suppressing my inner emotions.
“Just as you explored the continent for three years for the sake of your life, I also kept quiet for the sake of my life. Since the Duchess knew she had made a mistake, she did not make any further moves. Kranz also seemed to be aware of his mistake and stayed quiet. “The fact that I’m telling you this now is because it ended well.”
“How did that end well!”
My sister finally grabbed my shoulder and screamed.
I looked at her eyes, which were already full of tears, without showing them.
“I’m sorry, Sian. “I promised to live for you, but I didn’t even know what happened to you.”
I keep saying this, but my sister is smart and strong.
As I tell you this, I am a woman who knows how to quickly figure out what to do.
“I wanted to talk with you slowly and take a look at your dorm, but it seems difficult. “I have a place I need to go urgently.”
I don’t know about other places, but it’s difficult there.
It would be a big deal if our cute little boy woke up from his nap.
I asked slyly.
“Are you coming back?”
“of course.”
I thought he was stroking my head again, but this time he gently hugged my body.
“You don’t have to carry it all alone, Sian. “If it’s hard, you can say it’s hard.”
The moment her soft breath touched my ear,
I felt a peace that was unprecedented in the world.
It’s cozy.
Yet, it is very warm.

I thought I would never feel this way again.
I feel so fortunate to have returned again.
Now all that remains is to protect this warmth.
The day when my sister’s warm touch turns cold will never come as long as I live.
My fists were clenched with determination.

“Gwae, are you okay, master?”
After my sister left, Brian, who was nearby, asked in a worried tone.
“why?”
“Sir, this may be presumptuous, but I wonder if I’ve caused Ellis unnecessary worry. Actually, it was very surprising that Mr. Jeon said that… … .”
I shrugged my shoulders and said.
“The human heart is like a reed that can change, but at other times it is hard to change like a hard rock.”
This is especially true for people like my sister.
“So we need to be alert. Little by little, we need to realize that everything we had believed in until now was actually going wrong. Otherwise, it will reach a point of no return, and eventually it will be destroyed.”
If you ask me if this is an experience, I don’t really want to answer.
I just hope that my warning disguised as advice will help her and help her cope with what lies ahead.
I think she will definitely be able to overcome it.
Anyway, I think my sister’s job is done at this point… … .
My eyes turned to Brian who was next to me.
“Why, why are you doing this, master?”
“Still, you acted pretty well? “I thought you’d be shaking and not even be able to say a word?”
Brian said, rubbing the back of his head as if he were embarrassed.
“haha! Oh, I couldn’t sleep last night and kept practicing! Actually, I don’t know if Ellis would take it well… … .”
Still, it’s a really big improvement compared to how foolish it was two years ago.
Are you saying that you are a person who can be serious when he is serious?
“Is it for no reason that my sister lived while hearing about God’s child? “My sister is the one who understands clearly even if I stumble over half a sentence.”
“Is that so? “Then I’m glad.”
I stared at the guy’s face, which was smiling awkwardly.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“Why is your face red?”
“yes!?”
Even a girl who fell in love for the first time wouldn’t be like this.
“Ah, well, this was my first time seeing Ellis too! As rumored, she is truly beautiful! Oh, don’t misunderstand, master! “I never harbored any strange thoughts!”
It’s a strange feeling.
Yes, you are a man too, so I understand that you can do that.
Because I don’t think I’ve yet seen a beauty that surpasses my older sister.
Why do I have this strong feeling of wanting to punch him?
I unconsciously looked at my clenched fist.
It was a moment when I was deeply worried about whether to shove this on that guy’s head or not.

After sending my sister away, I headed to the president’s office once again.
As I knocked and opened the door, the president who was working gave me a deep look as if he knew I would come.
“It looks like you’ve already checked.”
The president was reading the white paper document I handed him a moment ago.
“As always, I won’t ask where you got this information.”
“I am just grateful.”
“Ask something else instead. “Did you really give this to me so I could believe it?”
The glaring glare was not all that stinging.
“If I were to summarize the documents you gave me, it would be like this. Some of the high-ranking knights of the Knights of Light are connected to the imperial family. The most influential one is 1st Prince Ruinel Sebelus. They will soon carry out a plot and provoke the demonic beasts in the frontline area, causing a major conflict. And that point is connected to none other than the imperial family’s tour of the front lines… … “Even if I wrote a novel, it wouldn’t be this absurd.”
If such an exciting novel pops out of your head, why would you take a literature class?
However, unfortunately, what the president said just now is not fiction, but a clear fact.
Looking at the president’s eyes, it seemed like he was still skeptical.
“It’s already been more than 10 years since I left my family, but that doesn’t mean I’ve lived with my ears closed. But the family and Ruinel were planning this without my knowledge? Honestly, if it wasn’t for you who gave me this document, I would have torn it up a long time ago.”
For someone who doesn’t care about family honor, I decided to take it lightly, even though it seemed a bit incongruous.
“Isn’t it up to me to confirm whether it’s true or not anyway?”
“Yes, that’s right. “My informants, whom I sent to you as if I was being deceived, will soon bring you news that will catch your eye.”
Maybe it’s because it’s about experience, but what you say is very outspoken.
“Does this have something to do with your sister?”
“What makes you think that?”
“Age is not something that happens for nothing. “Your dry eyes, whose true nature I could never understand, trembled the moment they met Ellis.”
There seemed to be no need to deny it.
“Honestly, I was a little surprised. The guy who thought he only knew you, let alone his family, said that he still knew that your blood was strong. If he thought about it, he probably had no reason to hate that kid. “Out of all the students who went through the academy, she was the only one I wanted to have as my daughter.”
“You’re talking about big trouble.”
I meant it.
For a moment, I even thought that the old man had become senile.
Anyway, you crossed the line. President.
The president continued speaking regardless.
“So, after giving me this novel-like information, what do you plan to ask of me?”
I am not foolish enough to do good deeds without compensation.
The president knows this, so every time something like this happens, he keeps asking me what I’m asking for, but I’ve already been receiving the best compensation.
“Aren’t you already doing enough?”
“Ha, you mean your crazy school life?”
It will fly… … .
I thought I was living quietly without any problems, but hearing things like that makes me feel strange again.
I said with a smile.
“As I said before, there is no need to think about it difficultly. Please think of it as a gift for your convenience.”
“It’s probably not a gift, it’s a bribe. Well, I understand what you mean. “Don’t say anything else later.”
When I heard the word “bribe,” I chuckled without realizing it.
“Well, you’re the kind of guy who doesn’t know what was on your mind.”
When I heard those words, a thought suddenly popped into my head.
Should I ask you something?
“I can ask you just one question.”
“What is it?”
“A little while ago, when I was talking to my sister, I heard that among the students who passed through the president’s hands, there was one student who didn’t understand the inside.”
Rather than overhearing, it was just something I heard.
“Yes, this is the standard before you enter the academy.”
The president spoke indifferently.
“Could you please tell me who that person was?”
Why are you asking?
It’s just simple curiosity.
I was once again curious about the extent of this old man’s sharp sense of vision.
The president chuckled and immediately opened his mouth.
“What is the point of asking when you already know the answer? There is no need to ask. “It’s probably the guy in your head.”
As expected, our president.
He is a person who is very clear about how he sees others.
It’s because you can’t see your future.
