Chapter 228
Sheryl tossed Rimmer, tanned and sloppy, into a corner and walked towards Glenn.
“My lord. Were you really trying to hold back that expression earlier?”
Glenn reached out his hand, frowning without answering.
Kurrureung!
A bolt of lightning sprouted from the ceiling and landed on Rimmer’s shoulder as he lay down.
“Keep it off!”
Rimmer, who was half-fainted, screamed and reflexively raised himself.
“Why, why me… … .”
He couldn’t get it right and hit his head on the ground again.
“Didn’t you start it?”
Glenn clenched his fists as if regretting that he couldn’t hit more.
“My lord.”
Cheryl closed her eyes and took a step forward.
“I understand why the family lord asked me to take Raon on a mission.”
He opened his eyes with a light smile.
“At first, I thought he was a lucky guy with heavenly talent, but he wasn’t at all. The boy was on duty, but whenever he found time, he immersed himself in practice. Among Swordsman Sieghart, no one is lazy in training, but this was the first time someone worked as hard as Raon.”
Whenever Raon had spare time, he swung his sword or immersed himself in meditation. He had seen many swordsmen, but it was the first time he had ever seen a guy who fell into training to that extent.
“I thought he had a calm personality, just as you can see from his appearance, but he only had a light expression and was paying close attention to everyone. In a short period of time, I fell in love with her and took care of this and that without even realizing it.”
Cheryl’s voice was full of liking for Raon.
“I understand why that idiot said he was the head of the family, and why the head of the family thinks of Raon in particular. He was a good guy to watch.”
“Hmm. is it.”
Glenn cleared his throat and lifted his chin slightly. The corners of her mouth, which she had been forcibly controlling, went up.
“That child has the qualities to become great both as a prosecutor and as a chief. I will keep a close eye on it from now on.”
“That must be your heart.”
He rested his chin as if he didn’t care, but the smile on his lips rose sky-high.
“Ah, I see.”
Cheryl frowned and looked up at Glenn.
“It looks like Raon is trying to meet Dohee.”
“Breakdown? Why all of a sudden?”
“It seemed like the idiot knew where he lost his money and was trying to find it.”
She pointed to Rimer, who was gasping for breath in a corner.
“I asked why you look like a beggar, did you go to a gambling house again?”
“This time, it was really a waste.”
Rimmer stood up and scratched his head.
“If only the last one was attached, I would wash it all, but that one was missing… .”
“idiot.”
Cheryl sighed and shook her head.
“Isn’t it time to stop now?”
Glenn furrowed his eyebrows. The atmosphere was different from the usual scolding.
“I don’t think that’s what everyone wants from you.”
“I know no other way than this.”
Rimer shrugged his shoulders with a somewhat bitter smile.
“Whoa.”
Glenn sighed briefly and turned his head.
“Leave that idiot aside, why is Raon looking for Dohae?”
“It’s clear that the gambler is trying to get his lost money from the way he talks and laughs about the three medicines.”
Cheryl recounted Raon’s conversation from earlier.
“Dohee belongs to Sieghart, but since he is no longer Sieghart, he will need some caution. Should I stop it?”
“There is no need for that.”
Glen shook his head slowly.
“Even that child needs the experience of making mistakes and losing at least once. let it be.”
“All right.”
Cheryl didn’t object and backed off.
“and… … .”
“uh? uh huh?”
As Glenn stretched out his hand, Rimer, who had been quietly leaving the throne room, floated into the air.
“Why me all of a sudden… .”
“Aren’t you the one who taught Raon how to use useless gambling?”
“I’ve said it before, but I never did! Not really!”
“Who’s teaching him to gamble but you!”
“No, I would have said I didn’t do something I didn’t do… Aaaaagh!”
Rimmer’s unjust voice was drowned out by the sound of thunder and extinguished to the ground.
“Loen.”
Glenn let go of his frown and gestured to Loen, who was smiling.
“yes. Lord.”
“You know what I said earlier?”
“which… .”

“If Raon were your grandson, you would have spread rumors around the neighborhood.”
“Ah, yes.”
Rowen nodded.
“As you said, how about spreading Raon’s performance a little more? No, it’s not because of Raon, it’s because the value of the name of the family that produced the youngest Master goes up. hmm. okay. For the sake of the family.”
Glenn maintained his usual cold expression, but there was a small tremor in his voice that only those close to him would know.
“Promote the family. Not bad. I will do that.”
“I think it’s a good way too.”
Rowen smiled and nodded, and Cheryl smiled lightly.
“Oh, no. Not that… .”
Rimer gasped and stood up.
“Stop publicity and show your respect for Raon! No, what’s the use of publicity? As her grandfather, he gave his grandson a hug and worked hard. My lovely grandson Raon! You can do it, but it’s difficult… … Kyauk!”
He was repeatedly hit by red lightning bolts from above and below and rolled on the floor.
Chiyiyi profit!
Black smoke slowly rose from Rimer’s body and clothes.
“You should suggest that kind of thing slowly.”
Cheryl shook her head as she looked at Rimmer, who was still alive after being struck by four lightning strikes.
“idiot.”
* * *
Raon took Julius and crossed the garden of the annex. As the annex approached, Julius’ hands began to tremble a little.
‘It must be tense.’
Having left his hometown and living in a new place, it was fully understood that Julius was nervous. He remembered something similar when he brought an infant with him in the past.
“Don’t be too nervous. Because they are all good people.”
“yes. All right.”
Julius took a deep breath and nodded.
“Oh, there’s a kid the same age as you in there.”
“Did you say you were the same age?”
Julius’s eyes flashed at the words of the same age. It seemed that I felt a sense of rivalry.
“okay. I hope you are doing well.”
Raon smiled and opened the door to the annex.
“uh!”
The infant holding the tray while wearing a white bread hat widened her eyes.
“young master!”
The infant ran forward carrying a tray of steaming pies.
“Now you are here!”
The pigtails under the cap fluttered like butterflies.
“How have you been?”
“Sure!”
Yua nodded with a much livelier voice than before.
“I heard that you had returned, so everyone was preparing a meal together. It’s almost done, so wash up quickly.”
“okay.”
“But hey… .”
As she nodded and was about to go to the washroom, Yua tilted her head at Julius.
“He’s the one I’m going to be with from now on. Because I’m the same age as you make sure you get along well.”
“Are you the same age? and! i am a toddler nice to meet you!”
Yua smiled lively and tilted her head slightly. Even though she was carrying a tray, she greeted me as kindly as possible.
“My name is Julius Forzan.”
Even though Julius said they were the same age, he said respectful words and nodded.
“You too, wash up and come quickly!”
The toddler smiled and ran towards the dining room.
“Is that the person of the same age?”
“okay.”
“Ah, I thought I was unmanned.”
Relief bloomed in Julius’ serious expression.
“I am unmanned.”
“yes?”
“It hasn’t been long since I started, but I am a child who walks the path of an unmanned man. Like you, it’s a talent that Eden is aiming for.”
“Huh!”
At those words, Julius’ mouth fell open. Heat burned in his eyes as if the subdued sense of self-love had sprung up again.
“Raon!”
“young master!”
Sylvia and her maids rushed out of the kitchen and dining room as if Yua had conveyed the words.
“Oooh, my son’s face is half! Are all the injured places healed? huh?”
“Again, you didn’t even eat properly! Guys!”
“yes! I’ll prepare it right away!”
Sylvia touched her face and sniffed, and Helen held her hand and bit her lip. The other ladies-in-waiting also let out a sad sigh and ran back to the dining room.
Looking at everyone’s reaction, Raon smiled lightly.
‘It’s still the same.’
Sylvia and Helen did not change even after they became masters. More than catching the demons of Eden, she worried about whether she was doing well and whether her injuries were all healed. I felt at ease.
“All right. It’s okay now.”
Raon nodded, holding his hand.
“Because I am tall, not skinny. do not worry.”
“Really?”
“huh.”
“Really?”
“okay.”
Sylvia only let out a sigh of relief after checking it three times.
“But this child… … .”
She raised her head and widened her eyes while looking at Julius standing on her right.
“I will live with you from now on. In Letran… … .”
Raon briefly talked about Julius.
“Those demons again… .”
Sylvia bit her lip and bent down to meet Julius’s eyes.
“Welcome. There will be no monsters touching you in the future.”
“no. I am a body that will become a warrior. You have to be ready to fight anytime, anywhere… … .”
“Don’t worry.”
Sylvia hugged Julius, who shook his head.
‘Did I have that thought again?’
Sylvia hates and fears Eden the most because she lost her husband and daughter to the demons of Eden. She must have remembered her then, and her emotions were more intense than usual.
“Ugh, go, why all of a sudden… … .”
Julius was taken aback, but bit his lip, as if he didn’t like her sincere warmth. Bear in mind, this guy is still too young. It must have been tough for her by now.
Raon didn’t know what to do and smiled softly at Julius, whose face was stained red.
“Welcome. To Sieghart’s annex.”
* * *
Raon went into the restaurant after washing in the washroom.
The long square table was full of various foods, and the ladies-in-waiting were standing behind the chairs and smiling.
After a while, Helen, Yua, and Sylvia brought a pot full of white stew and set it on the table.
“Everyone sit down.”
At Sylvia’s gesture, Raon and the maids took their seats.
“Today is Raon’s comeback celebration! It’s Raon’s Master Commemoration! It’s a celebration of Raon becoming a hero! It’s a commemoration of Raon receiving the golden plaque! Raon is called the Seolhwa Swordsman… .”
“mom… .”
After Raon frowned and shook his head, Sylvia’s seemingly endless words stopped.
“Oh yeah. So far.”
Sylvia smiled and clapped her hands.
“Everyone will be hungry, before we eat! Finally, applaud Raon for becoming the youngest master!”
“Quaaaaaaaaa!”
“congratulations!”
“I knew Raon-nim could do it!”
“that’s right! You worked so hard!”
Helen and the maids all smiled and applauded in congratulations.
Raon made eye contact with everyone and smiled.
‘As expected, this is good.’
I felt comfortable and warm when I heard sincere words while dealing with the swindlers who applauded with their hands and mumbled criticism with their mouths.
“Then let’s eat before it gets cold!”
Sylvia scooped up the stew before eating her own food and placed it in front of Raon.
“It’s a stew made with a new recipe. It has plenty of beef, vegetables and fruits!”
-Oh oh! Just hearing it makes me salivate!
Lars leaped onto the bracelet like a carp.
– Come on, eat! Guide the main king to a new world of taste!
Raon pushed Lars, who exuded dignity as if he were declaring war, and grabbed the bowl of stew.
“thank you.”
I nodded at Sylvia and took a bite of the stew.
The first taste felt the concentrated flavor of the beef, the salty yet soft taste of the stew in the middle, and the sweetness of the fruit at the end.
-Haaa, the three flavors stir your tongue in very harmonious harmony. It is an admirable work.
‘That’s right.’
Raon nodded. He said it had fruit in it, so he thought it was not good, but it went well together as if it had been mixed.
-That doesn’t deviate from the basics. It’s full of sincerity, but it’s well permeated with new flavors. I like it.
Lars nodded in satisfaction.
– As expected, home-cooked food is the best.
‘… … .’
Raon looked at Lars with absurd eyes.
It’s your house.
* * *
-Feel so good.
After a satisfying meal, Raon returned to the room with Lars pounding on his stomach. As I was putting things in order, I heard three knocks.
“come in.”
Without answering, the door opened and Judiel entered and bowed her head.
“Didn’t everything happen?”
“It wasn’t until a little while ago… .”
Judyel licked her lips briefly and continued.
“An order has been issued to find out if Raon-nim is particularly injured or if there are any aftereffects at Jungmujeon.”
“It’s an aftereffect… .”
Raon laughed. I thought that Karune was still the same.
“What should I do?”
“Leave it for now. If I say it right away, it will arouse suspicion.”
“All right.”
Judiel nodded her head right away, as if she had the same thought.
“I have a request.”
“Tell me.”
“Can you investigate the robbery?”
“Are you talking about the destruction of the three medicines?”
“okay.”
Raon put the backpack he took out and nodded.
“The one who took the money from the leader at the gambling house was not an ordinary gambler, but a bankrupt. I need to get my money back.”
-That’s not your money.
Lars shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.
“All right. Since he is an old person, it will take some time, but I will try to find the latest information as much as possible.”
Judiel left the room with her trusty words.
-What is the collapse you mentioned earlier?
‘There is a grandfather who likes to gamble, drink, and fight.’
Raon smiled lightly and sat down on the bed.
“Las. Are you feeling good?”
– Well, it’s fine. Get some rest now and you’ll feel better.
“Aren’t you craving ice cream?”
– I’m hungry! Maybe it’s after a meal, but I’m ignorant of sweetness!
Lars nodded coldly, sticking out his tongue slightly.
Raon grinned, enjoying Lars’ reaction.
“Then shall we do something?”
* * *
next day.
Raon took Yua and Julius to the garden managed by Loen.
“Roen-nim!”
As if they had gotten closer during that time, Yua waved at Roen and ran, and Julius awkwardly followed Raon.
“Your Vice Lord is also here.”
Loen, who held Yua’s hand, smiled at Raon.
“I want to see how much you have learned. and… .”
Raon lightly pushed Julius on the back and sent him forward.
“While coming here, he helped me with the basic posture, but I need someone to look after him, so I’m going to ask him a favor as well.”
“Huh, since we’re of similar age, it wouldn’t be bad to be together.”
Loen looked at Yua and Julius alternately and nodded.
‘As expected, he’s quick-witted.’
He also seemed to think that it would be good to create a rivalry between Yua and Julius.
“Then let’s start by loosening up the body first.”
Loen turned his wrists and ankles as if to demonstrate. It was a warm-up exercise in which he loosened up his entire body by moving from small movements to larger ones.
“What did Julius-nim learn from Raon-nim?”
“I learned the basic posture of martial arts. I learned the standby posture, the three basic postures, and the training method like Mabo.”
Julius recited the basics he had learned while coming here one by one.
“okay.”
Loen looked at Julius calmly and nodded.
“Then it would be better to run first.”
“yes?”
“This garden is a good place to run because the ground is soft. Shall we go around 10 laps first?”
“uh… .”
Julius looked at Loen and opened his eyes wide, then bit his lip.
“All right!”
He got into his stance and started running through the garden.
“Hmm, unexpectedly, you’re not rejecting it.”
Rowen shrugged his shoulders as if he was surprised.
“I admit it.”
Raon smiled lightly as he looked at Julius’ back as he ran away.
“admit?”
“He said he only listens to people he approves of. He acknowledges Loen-sama and follows him.”
“That sounds fun.”
Loen looked at Julius until he disappeared among the garden bushes, then turned his head.
“Then we will begin.”
“yes!”
Yua followed Rowen and stood in the center of the garden.
“Sound can be heard everywhere in the world. Even the wind brushing your hair, these beautiful and vivid flower petals, or even a sword made of hammered iron can make a sound.”
“yes! I know.”
The toddler’s pigtails swayed like rabbit ears.
“It’s nice to enjoy the sounds of nature as they are, but people like us can make them a little bit better.”
Loen raised his left and right hands at the same time and clapped lightly.
Paaang!
The moment the clear sound of applause resonated throughout the garden, my head became clear as if a cool breeze had blown, and the fatigue and drowsiness of the journey disappeared in an instant.
“Wow, that’s cool!”
Yua must have sensed it as well, so she jumped up and nodded.
“The sound just now is a mixture of mana in the air with a special method to clear your mind.”
Rowen smiled.
“her… .”
Raon opened his mouth. He knew that there was martial arts using sound, but he didn’t know that he would feel like meditating with just one clap.
“Roen.”
Raon raised his hand.
“I just killed the enemy with just a clap as opposed to a sound… No, I can attack you.”
He was about to say that he would kill him, but changed his mind after seeing the infant.
“Yes, of course.”
Rowen turned around with a cool smile.
“Would you like to try it?”
“yes.”
Raon nodded. He resonated with the ring of fire and focused his mind on Loen.
“then… .”
Loen opened her hands a little wider and clapped her hands. The aura in his danjeon entwined the air and created a wave of life.
Beep profit!
I didn’t prepare because I wanted to feel it properly, so I heard a loud tinnitus in my ears, and my body felt like it was paralyzed for an instant.
‘It was to spread the aura in the air through the sound of applause.’
The martial arts of this sound, which can awaken or bruise the mind, was not that different from swordsmanship. It was a method of attacking or encouraging the opponent by putting an aura on the sound he made.
‘I don’t know the structure itself, but I can roughly follow it.’
The ring of fire resonated, and because Loen showed it so well, I felt like I could follow the way of putting life into applause.
‘I can use the sword instead of applause.’
It was a fully possible method using the sound of friction when releasing a sword and the vibration of the sword, which is the cry of the sword.
“As expected, the young master knows how to learn properly.”
Loen smiled happily, as if he didn’t know how to receive it without causing an aura.
“Can I try it too?”
“You mean that?”
“yes.”
“of course.”
Rowen spread his legs shoulder-width apart as if he was looking forward to it and nodded.
“It’s an infant. Come behind me.”
“Ah yes.”
I sent Yua back and confirmed Julius’ location. He confirmed that there was no damage to the two and grabbed the blade of the Jecheon sword.
‘The core is not that different.’
Swordsmanship and martial arts were not significantly different. The important thing was how quickly and properly the aura was captured in the sound.
“Then I will go.”
The moment Raon’s eyes lit up with a red flash, the Jecheon sword revealed its silver fangs and vomited.
