The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 857
Chapter 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 play again.
“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. It will be warm as it is freshly made.”
“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 my friend was so busy eating that he didn’t even show his face.”
He snorted as he cursed at Glenn.
“Thank you. Enjoy your meal.”
“no·”
Raon bowed his head, saying thank you for staying at Sieghart.
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here… You don’t have to say that…”
Pedric tsk and clicked his tongue…
“Honestly, I miss traveling aimlessly, but I definitely plan to go there after getting treatment for Aris.”
He smiled slightly, saying he couldn’t leave the patient behind.
“Then where should we eat?”
While contemplating what to choose, Pedric picked 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, because of you, the king is starving so much 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’m going to give some food to my aunt and Merlin too.”
“Yes, Aris’ internal injuries are almost completely healed, so you can eat regular food. Merlin, it’s a physical issue, so it’s better.”
Pedric put his chin down and said, “Please tell me well.”
“yes·”
Raon said hello to Pedric again and first knocked on the hospital room where Aris was.
“Come on in·”
I opened the door while hearing Aris’ voice.
“Auntie… huh?”
Raon’s eyes widened as he called out to Aris. She was doing push-ups with her hands on the floor.
I didn’t know I was exercising, so my mouth naturally opened…
“La, Raon?”
Aris gasped as soon as he saw himself, as if he thought the person who knocked was Pedric.
“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…”
She turned 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. He spread the food on the table and parted his lips.
“We’re having a small banquet in the annex right now, so I brought some food.”
“···I heard that it was a commemorative party held by Sia·”
Aris nodded as if she already knew…
“I should have participated too, I’m sorry…”
She was still saying sorry…
“It’s 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 fully understand that your aunt feels guilty about me and Gwangpungdae, but we have already let Master go.”
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 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.
“The swordsman of Sieghart who holds his sword always carries death on his back…”
“Umm…”
Aris looked at herself and bit her lip that was curled inward…
“Raon, you are truly straight… I envy you, but I also feel regretful…”
“····”
I sighed a little because I felt like I knew what Aris meant by the envy and regret he was talking about.
“Yes, your… No, I understand how you feel… Everyone says that, so I guess I need to cheer up…”
She said thank you and shoved all the stew in her hand into her mouth.
“Everyone?”
Raon looked at Aris, mumbling the words “Everyone.”
“Yes, 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 person, but today he was sincere when he cheered for me…”
She smiled slightly as she saw Denier again.
“So I was exercising to gain a little strength.”
“…I see…”
Raon maintained a calm expression and nodded.
‘Denier gave you advice?’
-···What on earth is that guy? What are you thinking?
‘I don’t know·’
If Aris says something like that, it means that there is a certain level of sincerity.
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 she will return to her original abilities.
From the enemy’s point of view, it’s not worth using, but I’m not sure what the intention is…
‘So they’re not enemies?’
No, if you want to use them as hostages, it would be 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 making me really bothered…”
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 got angry and asked why she was only playing with Aris.
-Hey!
Ras swallowed his breath as if he was frightened, even though Merlin had not yet appeared in the form of an animal.
“Hey…”
Aris laughed and pointed at Merlin.
“You said you came here to recover your strength after waking up? “But I’m dying because I can’t recover my stamina and you always come to me and chat.”
She shook her head, saying it was hard because she said so many strange things.
“Aunt Si, I feel bad when you say that! “We enjoyed it!”
Merlin mumbled why he did 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?”
“Yeah, so…”
She tilted her upper body forward and opened her red lips.
“Would you like me to feed you? ah!”
Merlin lowered his eyes, telling me to feed him directly.
“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 shame that her looks were not inferior to Runan and Marta.
“Ugh…”
As soon as the story of the mask came up, Merlin kept his mouth shut and quickly changed his mask.
“Merlin?”
“Oh, now that I think about it, 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 she seemed like a good 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 such a charming person…”
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.
“It’s not a woman’s blessing, it’s my blessing…”
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, feel free to think what you want…’
Raon shook his head and looked at the two fruit baskets Denier 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 ornate 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 for you.”
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, but…’
There’s 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 goods.
It felt like I was watching a market play, not Sieghardt’s battle.
“It’s a little loud, isn’t it?”
Gotarn smiled as if he understood…
“Jeonju’s own feelings are the most important, so I have no choice but to leave it like this.”
He shook his head, saying that Balder does not listen well to others.
“···okay·”
Raon nodded to Gotarn and savored his appetite.
‘You’ve come to the right place as expected…’
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 we 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 have brought you a guest.”
“ah! okay?”
Jinmu Jeonju Balder was looking at a thick book while wearing blank glasses and let out a small exclamation.
“····”
“····”
Both Gotarn and Raon were silent, 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 even 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 back”
He stretched out his hand as if welcoming him and pointed to the sofa on the right.
“thank you·”
Raon lifted his waist and sat 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 rough speaking style.
“···I will go 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 do me a favor…”
Balder nodded as if he knew that…
“Tell me… If it’s my nephew’s business, of course I should listen!”
“hmm····”
Raon whetted 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 I came to you because you believed what I said without any doubt.
“Ah, yes, you are a quack.”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded.
“Obviously, when that person has been obsessed with one thing for a long time, he has 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.
“Yes, that’s right… Anyway, I came here because I thought the only person in Sieghart who could do this was Lord Jeon…”
Raon bowed his head, saying please.
“Yeah, really? yes?”
Balder curled up the corner of his mouth as if he was in a good mood when he heard that only he could do it.
“Hmm, it’s entirely possible for me, but I’m busy developing martial arts skills these days, so I don’t know if I’ll have the time.”
He secretly watched himself and muttered that it was not working well in developing martial arts.
“···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 like this.
“Yes, of course. I’m using Jeonju’s busy time, but I actually benefit from it.”
“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 him 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 glared at himself with his brows furrowed.
‘Did you get caught?’
Actually, I thought this was a bit of a poor answer, so I was worried, but it seemed like he noticed…
“Jeonju, I mean…”
“What a good guy!”
Balder said he was good and patted my shoulder vigorously.
“····”
Raon looked at Balder with sparkling eyes and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Is this right?’
Even though the answer I wanted flowed out smoothly, I felt guilty…
-under····
Lars also sighed as if he was dumbfounded…
-Is that the price of a person?
