Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 766
Chapter 766,
Chapter 188. We met Le-Et again
[Le-Et!]
[Really Le-Et, right? You exist like this, but we’ve been forgetting about you…!]
Water welled up in the eyes of the Cat Humans.
-[Tell the friend inside. Nehru, who has suffered a lot in the past, expresses gratitude for the lonely hard work of a thousand years on behalf of the Myoin tribe. No matter how hard I try, I can’t remember who he was…]
What Nehru said when Jin first visited the third tomb.
The fact that they had finally met an old friend they had only recently remembered was making their hearts burst.
Is the thousand years of solitude finally over?
Leed was motionless for a while as he saw Jin and his party appearing in front of him.
I communicated with Valeria all along, but when I saw the door open, I couldn’t believe it.
“yes. I’m here to keep my promise, butler.”
Jin said as he reached inside the door.
Leed fixed his gaze on that hand, then looked around and behind him.
A landscape recreated with a storm from a thousand years ago.
It was once a place where loved ones and colleagues always stayed together, and after they all passed away, it was just full of deep sadness and loneliness.
The scenery was vibrating and losing its shape.
It was a phenomenon that occurred when the subspace was forcibly opened.
Now was the time to leave this place and walk toward the light they left behind.
Leedt moved slowly and held Jin’s hand.
Indeed, the area around my eyes became hot at the warmth of someone I hadn’t touched in a long time.
[You look sloppy as soon as you meet again like this.]
“It doesn’t feel that way at all, so don’t worry about it.”
[Lee Et! It’s me, Nehru! Will you recognize us?]
[Were you very lonely inside?]
[Neru Lulu Miru… I see you are all safe.]
[The butler will be a little happy to see you too?]
Leed looked back at the veil and his eyes narrowed.
Bale cleared his throat as if stung by that unwelcome gaze.
[…Sir Vale. Although you showed a disappointing appearance a thousand years ago, it seems that you have returned to your duties as a teenage knight by following Lord Jin. It must have been Jin Kyung who freed it from the seal.]
The ones who sealed the veil were the teenage knights of that era.
After Sara’s death, Leedt recalled the memories of how the Veil went out of control and destroyed the world every day.
[Uh hmm. Is that… like that? I guess.]
[It’s not that I don’t understand Sir’s sadness, but what kind of feelings did we feel when we had to seal a colleague in the maddening Gyeong. Have you thought about it?]
Even when he first woke up from the seal in the Sea of Swords, Bale pretended to be on a very comfortable relationship with Leed, but in reality it wasn’t.
He murmured at the sound of Leedt’s voice.
[Sorry about that…]
[Remember, it won’t happen again. Jin-kyung just called me chief butler, probably because I still have to fulfill that role as I did back then. Therefore, as the head of the family, I will watch over you. Do you understand?]
Judging from his behavior so far, he could have said that he would nag him as soon as he arrived, but Bale nodded heavily, looking at his eyes.
Leedt had previously disciplined the teenage knights, including Veil.
When Bale, who had suddenly become depressed, lowered his head, Leedt smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
[Of course, it’s not that Kyung is not welcome. Thank you for coming back now.]
[Yes! Hehe, now I’ve come to my senses, really.]
Seeing that there’s no such thing as a seasoned teacher and a weak-minded troublemaker, Jin thought that and laughed to himself.
Leedt’s gaze reached Valeria.
Valeria had been clutching the silver pine wand without realizing it since Leed came out.
[Ms. Valeria Heister. You are the record wizard Jin-kyung talked about. Using a power similar to our fairies…]
Leed and Valeria had a conversation while resonating until just now, but it was mostly about how to open a subspace.
Leedt still did not know that the name Heister was uttered from the fairy’s will.
Nevertheless, as soon as Leedt saw Valeria in person, he felt an unknown sense of kinship.
No, it was like that even when it became resonant.
There was no need for the party to explain the situation separately.
As Leed gently waved his hand in the air, a bright blue record window appeared, and a video was played in it.
In the video, a woman resembling Leedt and Valeria and Sheila were depicted.
“All the fairies who fought against Ziffle to the very end have been forgotten.”
“Humans, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“But their souls, their last record, permeated the nature of this world and became seeds. The seed has been flowing all over the world for 400 years, and finally, the human being born is Minka Heister. You should know this, cursed King of Fairy Descendants.”
It was the same day that Minka Heister, the founder of the Hester family, came to visit Sheila.
Leed and Valeria couldn’t take their eyes off Minka in the video for a while.
For Leedt, it was the moment when he confirmed the existence of a descendant he did not know about, and for Valeria, it was the moment when he saw the ancestor of the family.
[Just as Runcandel left the ember called Lord Jin, our people left the light called Miss Valeria. Now I understand what Jin-Kyung said to me at that time. Our people are your roots…]
Leedt gently embraced Valeria.
[I heard that you are Hester’s last survivor. Perhaps your life was full of trials and sorrows. I hope that my return can bring you even a little comfort.]
Valeria held back her tears.
It was because he did not want to appear weak to Leed.
Instead of consoling Valeria, who suppressed her emotions, Leed nodded as if she was proud of her appearance.
‘I didn’t feel it the last time we met, but surprisingly you feel like a big man. Well, seeing as Bale couldn’t even make a sound, he must have been a very strict butler.’
Jin was receiving a very strong feeling from Leed.
[Good attitude Miss Valeria. It’s good to be patient when you can. Of course, consolation is needed, but fighting spirit and a sense of mission are more important now. We’re not perfect yet. I don’t have all the memories of a thousand years ago, and my powers have weakened a lot. Your magic won’t be perfect either.]
“That’s right, Leed.”
[From now on, together let’s recover what we lost. I also want to use the name Leed Heister, not Leed Damiro Yul, from now on. Because that’s the name my people left behind. Will you give me your permission?]
Valeria nodded.
Jin smiled like a girl who treats respectable adults.
It was something I had never seen in my previous life.
[Jin Kyung.]
“Yes.”
[What is your current position in the family?
]
[What is the current family head?]
“He is absent. We will explain in detail later.”
[Then, until the family head returns, can I work with the thought that there is no one above me except for the Lord?]
“You must have a lot of work to do.”
[All right. I will formally greet you again, Mr. Soga. I am Leed Heister, the head butler who will be ordered by Lord Soga to resolve the major and minor issues in Runcandel.] When
Leed got down on one knee and bowed with utmost sincerity, Jin could only be taken aback for a moment.
Like the previous family heads, distant ancestors were always like this whenever they were like this.
But then Leed rebuked him in a calm, quiet voice.
[Even if Temar knelt, not me, even if some god knelt, Soga Lord should not panic and be confident.]
Jin thought about how to answer, but nodded with a solemn expression.
“Okay, now wake up. I will introduce you to the family members and colleagues from the Barmal Union.”
[Yes, Lord Soga. I’m really looking forward to it.]
Before taking Leed to Runkandel and Tikan, they had to visit Wantaramo Forest first.
The Myoin tribes, who already had a strong crush on Sheila, felt uneasy seeing Leed’s strong and obstinate personality.
Perhaps to Leedt, Sheila is just a foolish traitor.
When we reached the Wantaramo Forest again through the Myoin tribe’s portal, Sheila folded her wings and welcomed the party.
[…sister.]
Sheila looked up at Leedt with anxious eyes, and Leedt looked down at her with unreadable eyes.
She was the older sister I missed so much, but seeing her face to face, it was difficult to figure out how to start a conversation.
[Shildamiro.]
Reed called Sheila by her old name.
Seeing Sheila’s attitude, the other fairy descendants also bowed down, probably afraid of Leed. The memories of Leed returned, and the fairy descendants felt ashamed.
[Sister, I…]
[Are you going to make excuses after meeting for the first time in a thousand years?]
Sheila bit her lower lip and shook her head.
[No, I just want to apologize. To those of my own people who were forgotten by my sister and disappeared. Even if it’s just a meaningless apology.]
[Yes, you know it well. Late regrets and apologies are worth nothing. A thousand years ago you were disappointed that I would endanger my clan, but look at the result. My people, including me, who fought to the end left behind a descendant called Hester, and you who neglected your duty were cursed by the witch.]
Sheila bowed her head, unable to answer.
[But I think you’ve paid enough for this.]
[…sister?]
[So, don’t make the same mistake now… When you have to fight, those who want to save the world will need your strength. When you risk your life, step forward.]
Sheila’s eyes widened.
[If I say yes, will you forgive me?]
[What you need is your own forgiveness, not me. So you don’t have to ask me for forgiveness. I never hated you.]
At that, Sheila banged her head on the floor and burst into tears, and Leedt stood up and said these words.
[Yul From now on, I will give you a name that only the Fairy King can have. Let’s watch what role you play in the decisive moment ahead. If you turn away again, then I will take away that name again.]
[That will never happen!]
[Really? Then you are now a member of the Barmal Union. If you need anything, please contact the family or the Barmal Union. we don’t go away Don’t forget that feeling, and be well, my brother.]
With those words, Leed immediately moved toward the outside of the forest.
Sheila No. With Shildamiro, Yul couldn’t take her eyes off her sister’s back until it disappeared.
