Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 266

Episode 266 Episode

84. Ember (3)

Ann is about to raise her hand to slap Jin on the cheek.

Mew grabbed Ann’s shoulder.

“Let’s just go, Ann.”

A tone close to command.

Ann knew. At a time like this, there is nothing good about going against Mu’s words. Usually, the two are very close and don’t seem to care about the rank, but in fact, the hierarchy between the two is quite clear.

“Chit!”

Anne jerked her head.

‘Sister Mew was smarter than I thought.’

It was foolish to attack Jin now or fight him.

It’s also a problem that the two haven’t fully grasped Jin’s skills yet. Above all, it was a situation where Shiron had declared that he would proceed with the ‘rider appointment ceremony’ as soon as Jin woke up.

But what if you hurt Jin or do something disgraceful?

That would mean violating Shiron’s order.

Even Mew and Ann had to be extra careful because in the past, Shiron had given them an unreasonable mission to kill Jin just before hosting a banquet.

Hard!

Mu gritted it. Rather, she felt stronger anger than Anne, but she had a stronger determination not to be dismayed by getting involved in the youngest.

“…I can’t say congratulations. Hurry and go to your father.”

“Yes, sisters.”

“And Emma Nilt, don’t do anything you’ll regret. This is the first and last warning.”

Mew and Ann just walk past Jin.

The Tona brothers opened their mouths even wider.

‘Those crazy things are making it difficult for the youngest!?’

‘What did I see?’

In addition, Emma managed to suppress the laughter that was about to explode like a firecracker from the depths of her heart.

“Brothers, your jaw will drop.”

“Ah yes. I will shut up.”

“thank you…!”

Wow!

The Tona brothers hesitated and hugged Jin once in a while.

Both of them were aware of the fact that Mew and Ann had lost their pride thanks to Jin. It was something they had only dreamed of before.

“How are your brothers?”

Jin said, naturally separating the Tona brothers.

‘It reminds me of the day I cut the brothers who were created by the mirage of the Great Desert.’

He hates to admit it, but Jin clearly feels a bit like brotherly love for them.

It’s not comparable to Luna or Yona, but should I say that I’ve had some hate from the storm.

The two approaching each other, keeping an eye on each other, seemed subtly cute.

“Oh, hey, how have you been? Except for the fact that Mew and the sisters acted a little… no, a little too polarized every day.”

“I thought I would never see you live like this again, but I love it.”

“that’s right!”

“okay? I’m not that good.”

Jin’s cold reply shook Tona’s shoulders.

“oh.”

“Ah… yes sorry. Ooh, we made a fuss.”

There was a reason why Jin had to answer like this.

“Instead, let’s take some time to get to know each other slowly. I don’t hate my brothers too much.”

It was because he needed to deliver a message to Emma.

It means that in the future, do not use yourself in front of anyone without permission.

And it means more clearly showing the will to be loyal.

Emma, who had a good sense of humor, immediately lowered her head and grasped Jin’s intentions.

Conversely, the Tona brothers were nodding their heads vigorously as if they were greatly moved by the fact that Jin said, ‘Let’s get to know each other’.

“I’m going to go back, 12th rider.”

“Just call me Master Jean, Emma.”

“Yes, Master Jin. If you feel like a nice scent of tea from time to time, feel free to visit this nanny’s room. We will prepare rare teas that are difficult to come across outside the Garden of Swords.”

It was a story that if you are curious about how the family is going back, find it. Satisfied with those words, Jin lightly met Emma’s eyes.

“Let’s drop by sometime soon. It would be nice if there were enough tea leaves ready.”

When Emma and Tona brothers disappeared, the servants who had been hanging around for no reason hurriedly returned to their places.

And the Guardian Knights went on their way saluting Jin.

Now that he has become a rider, he is now officially ranked higher than a normal Guardian Knight.

Shiron’s office was in the main building.

However, before going to the main house, Jin was thinking of stopping by another place first. A sacred basement located in the deepest part of the courtyard of the Garden of Swords.

Mausoleum.

‘Before I meet my father, I have to go there and pay my respects to the heroes who defended Runkandel.’

Of course, it is true that there is such a heart.

However, there were two main reasons for deciding to visit the mausoleum first.

First, it is not a situation where Shiron ordered him to come to him first.

Among the second brothers, no one has ever visited the mausoleum first as soon as they finished their life as reserve jockeys.

Second was important.

‘There are elders who can show me even a little favor just by looking for the mausoleum first.’

Among the elders, there were many who placed great importance on propriety or were sensitive to history and tradition.

Right now, the Garden of Swords was no different from an enemy’s den to Jin.

To defeat Joshua and claim the throne, he needed allies, and many, many allies.

Since you can gain the favor of some elders with simple actions, there is no reason not to stop by the mausoleum first.

When he was a cadet, of course, he had no right to enter the mausoleum, but no longer.

As I exited the corridor and headed toward the courtyard, my eyes widened even more.

However, there was no encounter with the other brothers, and Jin arrived at the mausoleum without incident.

Sarcophagi full of dark underground without a single light.

‘It reminds me of the fact that Temar’s tomb is not here. It’s an oath…’

A humiliating oath between Ziple and Runkandel after Temar Runkandel’s death.

The contents of the oath were concise. Do not worship the ancestors of magic swordsmen who used magic, and never use magic in the future.

That’s why, whenever Jin saw Zipple, he heard that he had broken the oath.

‘I’ve seen people frown a few times for breaking the oath, but even after the story about me is revealed to the world, Ziple still can’t do anything about Runkandel.’

What that meant was clear.

Hitting Runcandel was burdensome. And there was only one reason. The existence of the world’s only creation knight in Shiron Runkandel.

Once he’s gone, Ziffle will never be afraid to hit Runcandel. In other words, as long as Shiron exists, Zipple is likely to maintain its current attitude.

‘In my heart, I was worried that a big war would break out right away with them, but it became clear. There will be no all-out war for the time being.’

While thinking about those things, I was meditating towards the stone coffin.

From the outside, I could feel the popularity gradually.

Someone new has entered the mausoleum.

“Welcome, Father.”

it was poetry

Even though he was in the office, he felt the fact as soon as Jin woke up and came to the mausoleum.

to talk to my son.

And already outside, the rider and guardian knights who had been instructed by Shiron were preparing for the rider appointment ceremony.

“It is disappointing.”

The first word uttered by Shiron.

Disappointment.

Looking back, I heard it many times in my past life, but it was the first time in this life.

However, Shiron did not speak as if he was scolding, but in a way that seemed like an ordinary joke between a father and a son.

Thanks to that, Jin was able to answer while sweeping his chest.

“Is it because I woke up too late?”

“It was the last time I gave you a chance in front of everyone. You should have done better than that with all you had.”

Contrary to what Shiron said.

Jin left an infinitely strong impression on everyone in the Garden of Swords thanks to the sword containing his essence.

Even so, I felt that the theory was lacking.

To be precise, I didn’t regard Jin’s training or growth as lacking. Even he couldn’t say that he was greater than Jin when he was nineteen.

“Are you saying you had to use aura?”

When Jin received Shiron’s sword, he didn’t use his aura at all.

Only Aura and Myeongwang clan’s brains were used.

If I had used Reiki, the result would have been a little different.

Of course, it wouldn’t have been enough to ‘receive’ Shiron’s sword, but at least he wouldn’t have fainted.

Why didn’t you use the spirit?

Jin just didn’t want to show all his cards to his enemies from the beginning.

‘Currently, except for Sister Luna, everyone is my enemy.’

The enemies only know that Jin is a solderlet contractor and magic swordsman, and that he has tremendous power that is not suitable for his age.

I still didn’t know how much Jin’s ‘correct inaction’ was.

And as always in a fight, the more the opponent didn’t know the hand I had, the better.

‘I guess it’s my father’s opinion that I should have shown a more overwhelming appearance by using even the aura.’

Shiron didn’t answer and just closed his eyes in front of the sarcophagus.

There was such a long silence.

Jin wasn’t too uncomfortable with the silence.

It was because it was indescribably interesting that his father gave him an ‘opinion’ rather than a reprimand or order.

Because that meant accepting yourself that much.

“I am the youngest.”

“Yes Father.”

“It is a great loss to Runkandel to appoint you as a standard bearer.”

Instead of answering, Jin lowered his head.

“I’ll see if you’re a person worth making up for the damage.”

“All right.”

“For me.”

Shiron turned around and said.

“There is not much time left. The appointment ceremony will begin in an hour, so stay here until then and come out.”

Before Jin could answer, Shiron left the mausoleum first.

Looking at his father’s back, Jin couldn’t help but think for a while.

‘Dear father… you don’t have much time?’

What does it mean?

chronic disease? That kind of thing couldn’t help the creation knight’s body. Aging? He, too, did not have a great meaning in today’s theory of poetry.

My head went blank in an instant.

It’s not just something to say in passing.

Shiron didn’t want to say more, so I didn’t dare to ask.

However, although I don’t know why Shiron’s time is running out, I can understand the hidden meaning behind those words.

‘It means to become the head of the family before your father’s time runs out. And my father said he would no longer give me direct opportunities and help.’

For some reason, the back of Shiron after leaving the mausoleum came a little lonely.

It was the first feeling Jin felt while watching Shiron, and it was a feeling that the other brothers had never experienced before.

The only ones who had felt similar feelings towards Shiron in Runkandel were the former Dark Knights who had fought alongside him in the past, and the young Rosa.

Before organizing his thoughts and leaving the mausoleum, Jin ignited sparks with his magic power and lit small embers in the candlesticks of the mausoleum.

Then he moved to the rider’s corridor.
