Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 329
[Abduction 13. Wedding march ]
A13
“The imperial swordsman has changed?”
“yes. It was really cool back then. It’s been over half a year already.”
Recalling the past, Adeshan smiled. The Sword Saint match that took place in the Grand Circle that day was an unforgettable memory.
In front of her, a white-haired elf woman was listening with her hands clasped together. It was Elsia who once assisted the savior.
After almost two years of restoring Adren, she visited the continent. He was so hectic that he was unaware of important events such as the replacement of the Sword Master.
Elcia asked with her eyes twinkling.
“Then what happened to Zaifa? Are you dead?”
“no. I was released after being promised freedom by His Majesty the Emperor. I didn’t know, but originally, it was supposed to break the oath of blood when you came down from the sword castle.”
“what? Then wouldn’t it be okay to come down after losing to someone earlier?”
“I thought so too… As he said, there must be standards in the world of swordsmen that ordinary people cannot understand.”
Adeshan scratched his cheek. She also had the same question and asked Zaifa the same question. The answer that came back was ‘I’d rather die.’ was
“I see…Huu, it is difficult to adapt to the world of mortals. Too much happens in a short amount of time.”
“Huh, it certainly seems like that to a race that lives a long time like Elsia. That’s because I’ve been with dragons.”
“Still, the most surprising thing is that child. What is your name?”
Elcia asked with her eyes twinkling. Her gaze rested on the baby in Adeshan’s arms.
It was fatally cute to see her sleeping soundly while wrapped in swaddling clothes. Her hair, black as in the middle of the night, resembled Adeshan more than Ronan.
“Lance. It is said to mean sword in the Southern Aboriginal language. It was made by Instructor Nabi Rose, isn’t it okay?”
“So pretty. Are you a girl?”
“I am a man. I get misunderstood because my eyelashes are long…”
“Aww.”
“Oh, it happened.”
Just then, Lance woke up and opened his eyes. Elcia flinched.
Lance’s eyes, revealed under his thick eyelashes, were tinged with scarlet, resembling a sunset.
It was an eternal color that had been passed down from the distant past. Elcia’s eyes became hazy as she suddenly recalled the days she had spent with her savior. She put her face close to Lance and smiled.
“Hi Lance. Your eyes look a lot like your grandfather.”
“Ugh?”
Lance tilted his head. Adeshan was in the middle of looking down at the two with a pleased expression. The door suddenly opened and the butler of the Grancia family entered.
“It is time to enter soon.”
“Ah, thank you.”
The butler bowed respectfully and left the room. They were in the bridal waiting room of Grancia Mansion. After confirming that the door was closed, Adeshan looked back into the room.
“Are you ready, sister?”
“Wait a minute! Wait a minute!”
said Erill, flustered. She was sitting in front of a huge mirror, constantly adjusting her dress. A wedding dress as white as her own hair was draped over her.
Even though the ladies-in-waiting had already made perfect preparations, seeing them do that made them quite nervous. Adeshan approached Iril and smiled.
“Don’t be too nervous, sister. It’s really nothing.”
“Isn’t it? You don’t have to worry too much, right?”
“sure. My wedding with him was over in an instant.”
“At the time, we all cried so much that we were distracted, but I think that was the case…I’m envious because we finished first…Adeshan was really pretty at that time.”
Erill cried. At Ronan’s wedding, Adeshan did not wear a wedding dress, but the uniform of an allied commander.
It was so pretty that it literally made a fuss, but compared to that, I felt like I was too shabby. Iril looked at his clothes once more and asked anxiously.
“Hey, am I pretty now?”
“…yes?”
For an instant, Adeshan was dumbfounded. She and Elcia, who blinked silently, looked back at each other at the same time.
It was probably the dumbest question in the world.

The autumn sky was high. The neatly grown trees were burning themselves as if resisting the approaching winter. Every time the wind blew, the leaves fluttered, holding plenty of the colors of the autumn leaves.
Schlieffen and Iril’s wedding took place in the garden of Grancia’s mansion. The vast and beautiful manor has been transformed into a perfect wedding hall today.
The lavishly decorated gardens were crowded with guests from all over the continent. The nobility and imperial families of each country, as well as those related to Phileon, led by Kratir, the great wizard Lorhorn and the emperor Balon 44, were personally present to shine. Seeing a familiar face, Asher sighed.
“Yo Yongwang?!”
“iced coffee. You’re the wizard who saved the city of dragons. How are you?”
Dragon King Ajidhaka waved his hand. The hair reminiscent of a golden mane and distinctive appearance stood out even though it was polymorphed into a human form. Next to him stood a black-haired middle-aged man holding a large trunk bag.
“It’s easy. Mage Asher. It’s been a while since I’ve seen humans, so it’s fun.”
“Alibrihe-sama…!”
Asher’s eyes widened. It was the black dragon Alibrihe, whom he met in the city of dragons. Like Elcia, she came down to earth after almost two years.
Suddenly, he sat down and opened the bag.
“Where is Ronan? I brought a present, but this is it. I can’t find it no matter how much I look for it.”
“Hehehehe!”
Asher was frightened. In the trunk, a pair of prosthetic arms and legs were neatly stored. Judging by the length and shape, it seemed to fit Ronan’s physical condition.
“Why is that kind of stuff suddenly…!”
“I owe a lot of money the other day, but there was nothing I could give you other than this. The unpredictable is also the future of people… Oh, yours are also prepared.”
Alibrihe laughed. He said that he also used this money as a congratulatory gift for the bride and groom.
Because it was finished by attaching an artificial outer skin, it seemed that a human limb had been severed. Asher, who swallowed a thick saliva, nodded.
“Thank you… First of all, since the wedding is about to start, I’ll visit you after it’s over. If that Ronan officiates today and goes over there…”
He was about to say something. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang from the stage in the center of the ceremony hall.
“ladies and gentlemen! Please pay attention!”
“Hick…!”
“You can eat that drink and food later. It’s not like running away. It’s an important seat, everyone, pay attention!”
It was a loud cry that was not appropriate for the seat. Asher and the two dragons turned their heads at the same time. Standing in front of a golden podium, Ronan in a suit stood with his hands in his pockets.
“hello. It’s called Ronan, who officiated. To be honest, I don’t think there will be anyone who doesn’t know my face, so I won’t introduce myself.”
“Lord.”
The Dragon King sighed. Actually, it wasn’t wrong. At least among the people gathered here, there was no one who didn’t know the swordsman who cut the stars.
As if to prove him, most of the guests burst into laughter. Confirming that the surroundings had become quiet enough, he extended his index finger and pointed at the mansion.
“Then let’s finish the harvest and start the wedding. The position of the bride and groom.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Ronan’s direction. Before long, the door to the mansion opened and Irill and Schlieffen walked out.
Originally, they had to enter separately, but it was Ronan’s trick for Ilil, who had no father to hold her hand. Silence fell over the crowd as the two stepped onto the Virgin Road.
“…and.”
For an instant, everyone in the room forgot how to breathe. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Schlieffen, dressed in a wedding dress, was the most stylish person in the empire, but unfortunately, next to him was Illil in a wedding dress. The Duke of Grancia, who was observing the position of the two, muttered to himself.
“…the thief.”
“How did that blunt kid bring a woman like a sheep to win? There are so many corridors.”
His wife also stood beside him. Even though he was his own son, he could not defend it. Iril’s power of control now was comparable to that of Navardoze descending in his true form.
The hem of her wedding dress, long and gorgeous like the fins of a tropical fish, was sliding down the road. Two young children carrying baskets took about five steps ahead, scattering blue petals on the road.
The two finally reached the podium and stopped. Ronan looked at them in turns. Irrill, who met his eyes, whispered softly.
“Ro Ronan…Come on…”
She was at a loss for what to do with the shame and euphoria she was experiencing for the first time in her life. The blush was visible, but much better than the nerd next to him. Nervous enough to be nervous, Schlieffen was just about to pass out.
‘It’s a spectacle.’
Ronan smiled. Of course, since he was married himself, it’s not that I can’t understand his feelings, but this was a bit severe.
I guess I need to lighten the mood. After thinking for a moment, Ronan nodded.
“A few words before proceeding with the ceremony.”
“hmm?”
The Duke of Grancia shrugged his eyebrows. This was an unscripted action. Ronan, who walked out to the podium, opened his mouth.
“Honestly, until this morning, I was filled with rage. I was thinking about how to kick this bastard’s ass. Because he’s the world’s thief who stole my sister. I still feel like my stomach is twisting.”
“Ro Ronan…!”
“I have to admit this. My older sister, Miss Erill, is the most perfect woman on the planet. Not to mention the looks, and the vitality is also different. The reason I can stand here proudly without dying is because my older sister went through all kinds of hardships and changed my poopy diapers. Actually, even at this moment, I am contemplating whether I should run away with my sister.”
Again, laughter erupted from everywhere. Iril’s face turned bright red. Ronan, who approached Schlieffen in a flirtatious manner, spoke sarcastically.
“By the way, what about this child? I’ll admit it’s a little messy, but that’s all. It’s worth noting the delicate side of her, where she can’t pee properly if someone looks at her.”
Ronan giggled. Schlieffen’s face turned red. Unable to bear the shame, he was about to say a word.
“Ronan. You…”
“But he’s a good guy.”
Ronan stopped talking and looked back at the guest seat.
“To tell you the truth, he is a very nice guy. At least among the males I’ve seen, he’s the best. Regardless of race. The best thing about this Schlieffen son is that he keeps his promises, and nothing else. About five years ago… I was away for a long time once, and I’m still keeping the promise I made then. A promise to protect my sister.”
“Did you make that promise?”
Erill’s eyes widened. It was a story she had never heard before. Ronan continued.
“And Schlieffen kept his promise. Not only in the harsh winter, but also in the war where bald heads ran amok. In fact, the heir to the most prestigious family in the empire, the swordsman who defeated Zaifa Turgung, who was called the strongest swordsman in history, and the hero who saved this planet from the clutches of bald followers. . Keeping a promise no matter what happens is such a great thing.”
Suddenly, the guest seat was quiet. I couldn’t even hear the rattling of dishes. Everyone was paying attention to Ronan’s words.
“So I’ll take this opportunity to make another appointment. It is very good that there are many people who are willing to become notaries. Hey, are you okay?”
“…okay.”
Schlieffen murmured. I couldn’t quite guess what was going to happen. Ronan, who was muttering to himself, looked at him.
“Make my sister happy…no cancellation. I think this will be better.”
It was quite difficult to choose what to say. Ronan, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth.
“Be happy you two. until the death.”
And smiled. No answer came back. Iril’s shoulders, which covered his mouth with his hand, began to move slightly. Schlieffen, who was silent for a few seconds, nodded slowly.
“……I swear.”
