Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Chapter

97. Joshua’s Counterattack (1)

Arya Owlheart.

When Valeria’s most cherished pseudonym came out of Rosa’s mouth, most of the riders had no choice but to pay attention to each other.

Because I didn’t know who it was. Of the jockeys, only Jin and Joshua knew the name.

But no one dared to ask Rosa, ‘Mother, who is that?’

It was absurd, but asking such a question would only prove one’s own incompetence.

On the other hand, the elders who decided on the reward for Joshua were naturally aware of Arya’s existence.

They were pompous, subtly revealing that they had an intelligence advantage over most riders.

“The Acting Governor and the 2nd Horseman made a big decision. After all, he was a person to be found quickly and known to all the riders.”

Elder (Black Sword Chairman) Jorden Runkandel said with a smile. Vice President (Hobeop Chairman) Lynn Milkano nodded as if agreeing, and Senator Council Secretary (Homin Chairman) Telot Runcandel did not show any other reaction.

Jorden subtly turned his gaze to Joshua.

“This time, the role of the second horseman was very important.”

“That’s right, Elder Jorden. The second rider figured out the name, so we could move ahead of Zipple.”

“you’re right.”

The riders went crazy as the elders who supported Jorden and Joshua helped each other out.

‘Didn’t Joshua tell us anything?’

‘What the hell are you talking about after cutting off the front and back of the damn old friends? Wouldn’t it be nice if I could explain it a bit better?’

Mu and Anne’s inner thoughts.

‘How great is the big brother’s major that the elders are setting the mood like this?’

‘Am I finishing the bottom work in order to gradually raise it to the family head?’

Ran and Bugo.

‘Oh, let’s just be quiet.’

‘Still, I have to hold the weight as much as possible.’

Brother Tona.

‘Have you heard anything, brother?’

‘doesn’t exist.’

Mary and Difus.

‘Annoying and annoying…’

And finally Runtia.

While the brothers were thinking about each other in their heads, Rosa opened her mouth again.

“Most riders will not know what the name Arya Aulhat stands for. Let me explain. He is the last surviving member of the Heister family, a wizarding family that once threatened Zipple…”

Rosa continued to explain ‘Hister’ for a while.

When the Histors were active, why they were able to threaten Ziffle with magic, how such a great family was erased from history so much that it is difficult to find related records, and so on.

‘You must know in detail.’

I wasn’t a jockey before the return, so I couldn’t participate in a meeting like this.

At that time, what Jin knew about the Runcandel family was extremely limited.

Rosa no more than Jin expected. Runkandel was more interested in the Hyster family.

“…so we’re Aria Owlheart. If you look for a character called Heister first. If he obtains information about the Heister family’s lore and record magic. It gives us one major means of putting pressure on Zipple.”

It was really unexpected that Rosa directly brought up the words ‘record magic’ and ‘Hister family’s lore’. I didn’t think Rosa would share that kind of information with anyone other than Joshua.

‘Well, there’s nothing strange about it. Are you only telling a few key members of the Senate and the riders?’

After Rosa’s explanation, the riders’ eyes lit up.

It was because I had an intuition that an ‘opportunity’ had come to everyone.

“Mother, then, is the reason you called the meeting today to order our riders to find him?”

“That’s right. The search and capture of Arya Owlheart is the constant duty of the Runcandel riders as of today. Classify it as top secret and never use outside personnel.”

“All right.”

“If, by any chance, the information that we are looking for Hester is exposed to the outside world, we will definitely find out the leak route and punish all those involved. There are no exceptions. Therefore, each rider must carefully select the personnel to carry out the mission from among the subordinate guardian knights.”

The riders nodded heavily.

An expression that will be severely punished without exception.

That is, if you immerse your feet in this mission in earnest and make the mistake of leaking information from the lower ones.

This meant that he could be disqualified as a jockey.

Disqualification soon leads to expulsion or exile without a promise.

“Zipple is also currently looking for him with his eyes on. But I still don’t know the name Arya Owlheart. We must get Heister before Zipple.”

“yes!”

Hmmm!

Jorden cleared his throat, drawing attention.

“As elder, I have a few things to tell the riders about this mission. First, I hope that the riders will clearly recognize that this mission is not simply to establish a major, but a major family affair…” Jorden paused for a moment

.

“Second, whenever there is progress in the mission, all riders should report to the current top rider, the second rider.”

It seemed like he knew that would be the case.

A disappointed light flashed in the eyes of some of the riders. It’s been a long time since I thought it was an opportunity to raise my major without being discriminated against by Rosa.

Of course, everyone acknowledged it. The fact that Joshua will be the family head anyway.

So, as a jockey, he had little desire to compete for the position of home runner by establishing his major.

But sometimes, when this happened, I felt disillusioned. I felt like I was not a jockey, but just a puppet to fill my head. The feeling that I didn’t become a jockey after suffering to death to do this.

Even if I can’t become the family head, I want to have pride.

Rosa thoroughly ignored them even though she saw through the riders’ hearts.

It was because I had been taught that even if I ignored it again and again, I could never rebel ‘unless I proved my qualifications’.

In that sense, one of the 11 remaining Horsemen in the family.

At this time, there were only four people who could show displeasure to Rosa and the elders.

“I don’t understand, Chief. Why do you think the mission progress report has to be done through the 2nd rider?”

“The Fourth Horseman is right, Chief Elder. Isn’t the 2nd Horseman literally the rider, the owner, or the acting head?”

It was Difus and Mary.

They have consistently proven their qualifications before becoming jockeys.

If it’s armed, it’s a military mission. If it’s armed, it’s a mission. Neither side has ever disappointed Shiron, Rosa, or the Council of Elders.

However, the fact that he had never disappointed did not mean that he was on good terms with the entire Senate. They didn’t respect Jorden, and they didn’t give up their headship yet.

“haha. It seems that the 4th and 7th riders are dissatisfied.”

“Do you look like you have no complaints? This is a blow to the pride of the riders. I don’t understand why you’re creating a sense of incongruity in this way when you say it’s a major family event.”

“Then why didn’t you guys know the name Arya Aulhart?”

“I beg your pardon?”

“It is not you, but the 2nd Horseman, who has known the name that even Ziple has not been able to figure out yet. It means that the ball is solely for the second jockey. Rather, we were considerate so that you could share the ball.”

As expected, Jorden leisurely confronted them.

“Oh is that so? I didn’t know. Then Joshua Orover no. That the second horseman would have to search on his own. Why did you bother to gather all of us? Is this the will of the elder or of the mother?”

“You speak harshly!”

“Wouldn’t it be worse than Elder Jorden treating that painting?”

Mary gritted her teeth as Rosa raised her hand lightly.

“Stop 7 riders. I understand that you are offended, but be polite to the chief. Elder Jorden also understands generously. Isn’t it time to be in high spirits?”

The three of them, who had been growling at Rosa’s words, stopped talking.

Then, Rosa turned her gaze to Jin and Runtia, another jockey who had the right to speak.

“Three quarters and twelve quarters. Do you guys have anything else to say?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Neither do I.”

“Then do this. Okay, report according to the opinions of the 4th and 7th riders and upload them directly to me, not Joshua. Also, I will hand over the governance of the 5th region east of Heaster to those who come to Heister.”

At those words, all eyes in the conference room turned to Rosa. Even Joshua and Jorden, who were obviously on Rosa’s side, were looking very surprised.

Only one person, Jin, kept a calm face.

‘Government of the 5 eastern regions. I can’t even compare the 400 million gold coins that were hanging around my neck…’

And Joshua, surprised himself, turned his head to look at Rosa by chance. Facing Jin’s calm face, I felt something strange.

Dominion over 5 eastern provinces.

It was virtually the biggest reward a rider could have, aside from becoming the family head.

Even if you can’t become the family head, you can build your own power if you have the governance of the 5 eastern regions.

Even among the ruling powers that a rider or an elder could have, the ‘Eastern Five Regions’ was a good land within three fingers.

The rest of the riders, who had barely concealed their disappointment because they thought it was the eldest son, sang for joy.

Whether or not he has been recognized by Shiron and Rosa so far. If you find Arya Owlheart and bring her back, you will be able to reign as the loser of the East.

“Now everyone must have felt how important this work is. Again, this is a top-secret and permanent mission. Let’s all be sober, find Heister and bring him before me. more!”

The meeting has ended.

The riders and elders bowed to Rosa and began to leave the conference room. The butlers and writers who were waiting in front of the conference hall found their respective masters and followed them.

‘Looking at the teacher, the deal between my mother and Kellyac Ziple has failed. Besides, what on earth is Mother trying to get in return for finding the teacher and handing him over to Ziple?’

That was something Jin hadn’t guessed yet. However, it was certain that Rosa was so great that she even mentioned the sovereignty of the 5 eastern regions.

The moment I try to go back to my room, thinking about it.

“jin.”

Joshua called Jin.

“Why are you calling? 2 riders.”

When Jin looked back, Joshua had bitten his butler and his literary men.

When only the two of them were left in the empty hallway, the words that came out of Joshua’s mouth were completely unexpected even for Jin.

“You already found it. yes?”

“What kind of grain is it?”

“You already found Arya Owlheart.”
