Episode 857
After sending Denier away, Raon entered Pedric’s mansion.
“There are a lot of customers today.”
Pedric said he was welcome and waved his index and middle fingers together.
“Did you finish the party well?”
“It’s not over yet.”
Raon shook his head, saying he was having fun.
“Then why did you come here?”
Pedric waved his hand and told me to go back and play.
“I brought some dishes and desserts.”
Raon unwrapped the wrapping cloth and placed the buffet food and beaded ice cream he had brought on the table.
“Eat now. “I’ll bring something freshly made so it will be warm.”
“Hmm! I was still hungry, but… .”
Pedric took a long savory look at the steaming dishes.
“After all, you are the only one who takes care of me! “The guy who was supposed to be my friend was so busy making fun of me that he didn’t even show his face.”
He snorted, cursing Glenn.
“thanks. “Eat well.”
“no.”
Raon bowed his head, thanking him for remaining at Sieghart.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here. “You don’t have to say things like that.”
Pedric tsk and clicked his tongue.
“Honestly, I miss traveling aimlessly, but I definitely plan to go back after getting treatment for Aris.”
He smiled slightly, saying he couldn’t leave the patient behind.
“Then where should we eat?”
While wondering what to choose, Pedric lifted up the pizza first.
-Kheng! He doesn’t know how to eat! Buffet food is supposed to start with warm soup to warm you up!
Lars frowned, saying it was pathetic.
‘hmm? ‘Didn’t you say let’s eat pizza first?’
-Bo, King Bon is starving so much because of you that he has no choice… .
‘Then shouldn’t I warm up my stomach even more?’
-Lalalala!
The guy hummed and turned his head to pretend not to hear.
‘anyway.’
Raon chuckled and lifted the other two wrapping cloths.
“I’ll give some food to my aunt and Merlin too.”
“okay. Aris’ internal injuries are almost completely healed, so he should be able to eat regular food. “It’s a matter of stamina for Merlin, so it’s better.”
Pedric put his chin down and told me to tell him well.
“yes.”
Raon said hello to Pedric again and then knocked on the hospital room where Aris was.
“Come on in.”
I opened the door while hearing Aris’ voice.
“aunt… uh?”
Raon’s eyes widened as he called out to Aris. She was doing her push-ups with her hands on her floor.
My mouth fell open because I didn’t know I was exercising.
“La, Raon?”
Aris seemed to think that the person who knocked was Pedric, and he gasped as soon as he saw him.
“Are you okay with exercising?”
Raon put the food wrapper on the table and looked at Aris.
“Oh, it’s okay… .”
Aris smiled awkwardly and nodded.
“I tried to stay still, but my body felt like it was getting stiff, so I tried moving around.”
She rolled her shoulders and said that her physical condition was not bad.
“I heard you visited often, thank you.”
Aris lowered his gaze and looked only at his toes, like a criminal who had committed a serious crime.
“Of course you should come.”
Raon shook his head and unfolded the food wrapper. She spread the food on the table and parted her lips.
“We’re having a small banquet in the annex right now, so I brought some food.”
“… I heard. “They said it was a party to celebrate Sia’s death.”
Aris nodded as if she already knew.
“I should have participated too, I’m sorry.”
She was still saying sorry.
“are you okay. “You can come later.”
Raon followed Lars’ advice and handed the warm stew to Aris.
“… thank you.”
Aris accepted the bowl containing the stew with trembling hands.
“Where should we eat? Oh, it’s delicious!”
She forced a smile and moved the spoon so that anyone could see.
“aunt.”

Raon briefly closed his eyes, opened them, and held Aris’ trembling hand.
“I completely understand that my aunt feels guilty about me and Gwangpungdae. But we have already let Master go safely.”
He shook his head, saying that not only he, but everyone in the Gwangpungdae had accepted Rimmer’s death.
“Master also left with a smile, satisfied with having saved my aunt and Dorian.”
I held Aris’ hand tighter as it started to tremble violently.
“If our aunt continues to avoid us and reacts in such a difficult way, it is an insult to Master and the entire Gwangpungdae.”
Raon looked at Aris’ shaking eyes and nodded calmly.
“Because Sieghart’s swordsman, who holds his sword, always has death on his back.”
“Umm… .”
Aris looked at herself and bit her lip that was curled inward.
“Raon. You are truly straight. I’m jealous, and I’m also sad… .”
“…….”
I sighed softly because I felt like I knew what Aris meant by the envy and regret she was talking about.
“okay. your. No, I understand how you feel. “Everyone is saying that, so I guess I need to cheer up a bit.”
She said thank you and shoved all the stew in her hand into her mouth.
“Everyone?”
Raon looked at Aris, muttering “Everyone.”
“okay. “Denier came and told me a story similar to yours.”
Aris pointed to the fruit basket on top of the closet.
“He always seemed like an empty-headed guy, but he was sincere when he cheered for me today.”
She smiled slightly as she saw Denier again.
“So I was exercising to gain some strength.”
“… “I see.”
Raon nodded, maintaining a calm expression.
‘Denier gave you advice?’
-… What on earth is that guy? What are you thinking?
‘I don’t know.’
For Aris to say something like that, it means that there is a certain level of sincerity in it.
It was difficult to understand what Denier was thinking and what he was aiming for.
‘Why are you trying to wake up your aunt?’
To be honest, it will take a long time for Aris to return, and there is no guarantee that he will return to his original abilities.
To be honest, it is not worth using from the enemy’s point of view, but I am not sure what the intention is.
‘Then they’re not enemies?’
No, if you’re going to use them as hostages, it’s better to wake them up… .
When Raon tilted his head, Aris shook his chin.
“And there’s one more.”
Aris raised her finger.
“yes? “One more?”
“This guy is really annoying me… .”
As she sighed, the door to the hospital room burst open.
“Raon!”
It’s Merlin. She stamped her feet with her mask half-closed.
“You have to come to me first! “I was waiting to see when it would come, why didn’t it come!”
She was furious and asked why she was only playing with Aris.
-Hey!
Lars swallowed his breath as if he was scared, even though Merlin had not yet appeared in the form of an animal.
“It’s him.”
Aris laughed and pointed at Merlin.
“You said you came here to recover your strength after waking up? “But he doesn’t recover his strength and keeps coming to me every day to chat, so I’m dying from exhaustion.”
She shook her head, saying it was difficult because she said so many strange things.
“Aunt Si. I feel sorry for you when you say that! “We enjoyed it!”
Merlin muttered, “Why are you doing that?” and tapped Aris with his elbow. Looking at that, it seemed like the two had become really close.
“I brought yours too.”
Raon smiled and unwrapped the food wrapper he had packed for Merlin.
“My hands hurt… .”
Merlin shrugged his shoulders, saying his previously healthy hand was in pain.
“hand?”
“huh. therefore… .”
She tilted her upper body forward and opened her red lips.
“Would you like me to feed you? ah!”
Merlin lowered his eyes, telling him to feed him himself.
“Here we go again.”
Aris looked at Merlin and laughed.
“But she has an incredibly pretty face, so I don’t know why she keeps wearing the mask.”
She shook her head, saying that it was a waste of her appearance to be inferior to Runan and Marta.
“Ugh.”
As soon as the story of the mask came up, Merlin kept his mouth shut and quickly put his mask back on.
“Merlin?”
“Oh, by the way, I have fruit too.”
She said she would be back for a while and brought a fruit basket identical to the one in Aris’ room.
“This… .”
“Your uncle brought it.”
Merlin grinned, saying that Denier gave it to him.
“I heard you were very kind to me?”
She nodded, saying he seemed like a nice person.
“Aunt Si! Let’s eat together!”
Merlin put his own food down on the table and created a small buffet.
“I never thought the Queen of Terror, Merlin, could be this charming.”
Aris said it was amazing and let out a laugh.
“I’m not doing that to just anyone!”
Merlin grinned, saying it was because of Raon.
“Raon. “You seem to have a lot of clothes.”
Aris smiled slightly and put the ribs in her mouth.
“Not women’s clothes, but my clothes.”
Merlin frowned, saying that all he needed was enough.
-No! The devil is blessed!
Lars shook his head, saying that he was giving the greatest blessing.
‘okay. Think whatever you want… .’
Raon shook his head and looked at the two fruit baskets that Denier had brought.
‘Denier Sieghardt… .’
- * *
Noon the next day.
Raon took a quick breath as he stood in front of a huge building that was even more flashy than Gajujeon, so many people said it was excessive.
When I knocked on the silver iron door that stood guarding the building, the front door opened with a loud sound and an intelligent middle-aged man bowed his head.
“I was waiting. Lord Gwangpung.”
The middle-aged man slowly raised his head and introduced himself.
“My name is Gotarn, the general of Jinmujeon.”
“This is Raon from Gwangpungdae.”
Raon bowed his head to Gotarn.
“Please come this way. Jeonju is waiting.”
Gotarn said he would show us around and entered the ridiculously ornate Jinmujeon main building.
“yes.”
Raon followed Gotarn into the hallway of Jinmujeon and turned his gaze left and right.
‘There are a lot of decorations… .’
There is no order. I can’t figure it out.
Basically, high-quality ornaments are placed in a balanced manner.
Swords are placed together, armor is placed together, and art pieces are placed together, but this place was littered with luxury items.
It felt like I was watching a market game, not Sieghardt’s battle.
“It’s a little loud, isn’t it?”
Gotarn smiled as if he understood.
“Jeonju’s heart is the most important, so I have no choice but to leave it like this.”
He shook his head, saying that Balder doesn’t listen to others very well.
“… okay.”
Raon nodded to Gotarn and savored his appetite.
‘As expected, you’ve come to the right place.’
Buying and collecting flashy items means you have a desire to show off, and leaving them as you want after buying them means you are stubborn.
It was clear that they had found the best person to keep Denier in check.
“This is Jeonju’s office.”
Gotarn stopped in front of Balder’s throne room, which was not pushed aside by Glenn’s throne room.
“Then I will open the door.”
He slammed his fist on the iron door and pulled the handle.
“Jeonju. “I brought you a guest.”
“ah! okay?”
Jinmujeonju Balder was looking at a thick book with his blank glasses on and let out a small exclamation.
“…….”
“…….”
Both Gotarn and Raon were silent. This was because they both knew that it was a very poor performance.
“Hmm! “It was a nice day so I did some reading, but the time went by quickly.”
Balder put down the book that didn’t have a trace on it and laughed.
I tried to put some acting into my voice, but it was too shabby.
“See you, Jinmu Jeonju.”
“okay. “Welcome.”
He extended his hand welcomingly and pointed to the sofa on the right.
“thank you.”
Raon lifted his waist and sat down on the sofa next to Balder.
“What’s wrong with you coming to visit me?”
Balder seemed to have already lost his acting skills and had returned to his usual crude tone of speech.
“… “I’m going out.”
Gotthard went out with his eyes slightly lowered, as if embarrassed.
“I came because I wanted to ask Jeonju something.”
As soon as Raon sat down, he got straight to the point.
“Please… .”
Balder nodded as if he knew that would happen.
“Tell me. “If it’s my nephew’s business, I have to listen to it!”
“hmm… .”
Raon quenched his appetite. It was a bit burdensome to see it come out like that.
But now there was no one I could trust but Balder.
“I would like you to take a look at Hyeonmu Jeonju.”
“Denier?”
Balder openly called his older brother Denier by his first name.
“yes. As you know, Aris has not recovered her strength, and I am afraid that Denier is trying to use a clumsy spell.”
Raon sighed, saying that it seemed like Denier was doing something unproven to Aris and trying to give her an elixir.
“In short, it means you are engaging in quackery!”
Balder condensed what he had explained at length into one word: quack.
As expected, it was a good thing that he came to me because he believed what I said without any doubt.
“Oh, yes. “It’s a quack.”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded.
“Obviously, from a long time ago, when he was obsessed with one thing, he had a hard time seeing other things. “Even though he looks like a blank slate, he is stubborn.”
Balder snorted, saying he was fine on the outside but ignorant on the inside.
“Yeah, that’s right. Anyway, I came here because I thought the only person in Sieghart who could do this was Jeonju.”
Raon bowed his head, saying please.
“Yeah, really? yes?”
Balder curled the corners of his mouth as if he felt better when he heard that only he could do it.
“Hmm, it’s entirely possible for me, but these days I’m busy developing martial arts, so I don’t know if I’ll have the time.”
He secretly noticed himself and muttered that it was not working well for him to develop martial arts skills.
“… “When I return from my mission, we will take a look at the martial arts that Jeonju makes.”
I had thought about this price from the beginning, so I nodded right away.
“Really?”
Balder stood up as if he didn’t know he would answer right away.
“yes. of course. “I’m using Jeonju’s busy time, but I actually benefit.”
“Ugh! As expected, my nephew speaks very refreshingly! OK! “I will even watch how many pieces of bread that person eats!”
He patted himself on the back, telling me not to worry.
“thank you. And please keep this a secret.”
“secret? why?”
“Denier, I’m also moving for Aris-sama, but I don’t want to embarrass you.”
Raon put his hands together, telling him to just watch for strange behavior.
“you… .”
Balder frowned and glared at himself.
‘Have you been caught?’
To be honest, I thought this was a bit of a sloppy answer, so I was worried, but it seemed like he noticed.
“Jeonju. I mean… .”
“He’s a good guy!”
Balder said he was good and patted his shoulder vigorously.
“…….”
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Balder with sparkling eyes.
‘Is this right?’
Even though the answer I wanted flowed out smoothly, I felt guilty about something.
-under… .
Lars also sighed as if he was dumbfounded.
-Is that the price of a person?
