Episode 299
Meeting members of the royal family had a different meaning than meeting brothers and sisters from other families.
Still, brothers and sisters from the same family may have some degree of intimacy, but basically, royal family members rarely meet each other.
Naturally, the royal family had no choice but to view each other as competitors…
Thanks to this, when they met, a competition took place without blood or tears.
To be recognized in front of people as to who is the better royal family member!
“… Fortunately, it’s Guyando’s mansion. “I can’t say too much since I’m here as a guest.”
Lee Han said as if comforting him.
As I was a guest invited to someone else’s family mansion, I couldn’t behave more arrogantly than a certain level.
If you do that, you’ll be labeled as someone who doesn’t know the manners of the topic you’ve been invited to.
“Besides, you have a mother too.”
I haven’t met him yet, but from what I heard Yoner say, he was by no means an ordinary person.
Considering the power of the family, no one would dare say useless things in front of him.
“Mom, you went out for a moment?”
“… … ”
“… Hey guys. “Let’s gather together for a moment.”
Lee Han put down the magazine and called his friends together.
The topic of the meeting was >How to make Gai Nando look believable during royal family gatherings.>
* * *
Contrary to Lee Han’s worries, the royal family actually had no intention of picking a fight with Gai Nan Dao.
First of all, the royal family was not stupid enough to insult a member of another family when they were invited to the mansion.
Moreover, considering the power of the family, there was no benefit in making enemies for no reason.
The only people the royal family wanted to argue with were each other.
“Bogajun. It’s been a while. “It was a pity that we failed in the Kldran village plague incident last time.”
Crack!
“Judrantas… Thank you for your concern. I was worried about you too. “Who would have thought that your escort would be involved in a bribery scandal?”
Crack!
The royal family heading towards the mansion glared at each other from their horses and growled.
The same was true for the followers of the royal family. They glared fiercely at each other, waiting for an opening.
The royal family, who had to prove their worth, always tried to make their reputation known to the empire.
The best way was to intervene and resolve the empire’s major affairs.
Of course, such solutions did not always work out well. There were many failures, and sometimes accidents occurred among one’s followers before they could even begin.
Then, I had to listen to the other royal family members being very excited and worried, asking, ‘What should I do?’
‘개새끼가.’
‘I should have searched last time.’
“It’s really nice to see that you two care about each other’s safety.”
“How can the future of the empire not be bright?”
“… ha ha ha.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
The people who visited the mansion were not only the royal family and their followers. There were also nobles who hung out with them.
They acted as spectators and judges.
If a member of the royal family gets into an accident at a gathering, a rumor is spread throughout the empire’s social circles that ‘someone in the royal family had an accident’, and if a member of the royal family accomplishes an outstanding feat, the rumor spreads again…
If it weren’t for them, a few curse words would have already been exchanged.
“It’s truly ugly.”
“you’re right. A truly beautiful gem shines even if it sinks to the bottom of a swamp. “Compared to Lord Adenart, they are insignificant.”
Aden Arth’s followers clicked their tongues as they looked at the other royal family members.
All members of the royal family must be gentle, but seeing them fight so ugly the moment they met each other was truly pitiful.
“under. Do you have any other achievements other than being admitted to Einrogard?”
“I don’t think that’s something someone who didn’t even enter Einrogard would say.”
“You’re just not interested in magic. “The prince is in a position to act as a wizard, and is not in a position to use magic himself.”
“I guess that’s what you want to claim.”
“ruler. Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. “We have arrived at the mansion.”
Nobles who were not part of the royal family’s faction intervened.
Continuing to argue even after passing the main gate would be disrespecting the owner of the mansion.
The fighting followers remained silent and passed through the main gate of the mansion.
A luxurious mansion that is rare even in Grandeur City…
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“!?”
“!”
Those who entered were surprised by the illusion of a dragon wrapping around the mansion and spitting out a lantern of light.
Even at a glance, I could tell that it was done by a fairly skilled wizard.
It was the >Ajirmo Summoning Grant> magic that Lee Han learned (forcibly) from Professor Verdus.
“Gainando. “Say hello quickly.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if I summoned a skeleton too?”
“If you don’t want to be hit with a bone, say hello quickly.”
“There’s nothing to be so angry about… ”
As Lee Han growled and got angry, Gai Nando, who was scared, cleared his throat and shouted.
“welcome. “Welcome to the mansion.”
“… !”
The sight of Guy Nando and his friends standing on the stairs left a strong impression on the guests.
“Now that I think about it, I heard that Prince Kainan also entered Einrogard… ”
“I never thought I would use this much magic already.”
“You didn’t cast it on your own, right? “I must have borrowed the power of other friends to cast it.”
“Even so, it’s great enough. Look at that illusion magic.”
Customers slightly raised their ratings of Kainando, which they had not even thought about.
Even if he didn’t cast it himself, the fact that he cast that level of magic with his friends was quite a feat in itself.
Gainando tilted his head.
“But this was cast by Lee Han alone… ”
“Shh. “Just shut up.”
“… … ”
Gainando puffed out his cheeks at the sight of his friends silencing the owner even though it was his mansion.
Lee Han said firmly.
“Gainando. You remember, right? You only say three things. ‘Yes’, ‘No’, ‘Hehe’. got it?”
“yes… ”
“I didn’t need to do it already, but it’s good to have a proactive attitude. That’s right.”
Lee Han patted Guy Nando on the shoulder.
All I had to do was sit still and keep my mouth shut until the meeting ended. Then at least you won’t suffer any losses.
“Nice to meet you. “My name is Bo Gajun.”
“This is Ihan of the Wardanaz family.”
“… !”
“I will leave it up to you. “This is Juderanthas.”
“This is Ihan of the Wardanaz family.”
“!!!”
Every time the visiting royal family heard Lee Han’s family introduction, they looked at him with greedy eyes.
‘You look at me with more greed than when I look at gold coins.’
Of course, Lee Han knew very well why the other person was acting like that.
Since he came from the Wardanaz family, a famous magic family, and was also a student at Einrogard, it was not strange to assume that he was destined to become a great wizard in the future.
And the royal family are basically people who like to attract talented people under them.
“I have heard the name of the Wardanaz family many times. A new grimoire has just arrived in the mansion. If it’s okay, why don’t you come and take a look?”
“Thank you for the offer. “I’ll think about it.”
“I found an artifact this time… ”
“thank you. “I’ll think about it.”
If I got involved for no reason, life became tiring. Lee Han euphemistically answered the question without showing any loopholes.
When Lee Han did not show any flaws, the royal family turned their attention to Nilia and Ratford.
As the Makin family was related to Gainando, it was almost impossible to recruit them, but the other two did not know about it yet.
“If there’s anything you want… ”
“New this time… ”
While the royal family and their followers surrounded and harassed Lee Han, Nilia, and Ratford, one of the guests asked Gainando as if he were curious.
“Gainando. I have one question. Who cast that spell? I have some knowledge of magic. “That magic doesn’t seem like something another wizard can help with.”
“Hehe.”
Gainando answered as Lee Han asked.
Then the customer asked again.
“Did the prince cast it?”
“no.”
“Then, did Lee Han of the Wardanaz family cast it?”
“yes.”
“… … ”
Lee Han, who was answering questions from the royal family a little away, was inwardly lamenting.
‘I should have just sewed my mouth shut.’
“Did Wodanaz cast it? I really want to hear it! When do you have a good time?”
“We can accommodate any time. They say a wizard from the Wardanaz family is coming… ”
The followers who had been proposing rather gently until just now began to rush forward with their eyes sparkling.
I had a burning desire to invite Lee Han to the follower gathering.
Gaynando grumbled at Yoner.
“Why do you keep inviting people when you don’t even have time to hang out at the mansion?”
“You just shut up… ”
* * *
Only after making a fuss in front of the mansion were the guests able to go inside.
Each person was sitting in the hall calmly drinking their tea cups, but their eyes were extremely sharp.
The customer who had bothered Lee Han earlier by asking Guyando a useless question sat in front of Lee Han.
“I was really surprised. Wardanaz. really. “My name is Zolvabden.”
Lee Han cursed inwardly at the sight of the elf holding out his hand.
Why are you talking nonsense?
“I knew that Einrogard was an excellent magic school, but I never thought a first-year student could show that level of magic… “I was truly amazed.”
“I was just lucky.”
“Luck? Could that be possible? “Look at the expressions on the other members of the royal family.”
‘It’s because of you.’
Zolvabden said, ‘No! If he hadn’t said, ‘I cast this magic alone!’, the royal family wouldn’t have given him such passionate looks.
Originally, Lee Han preferred to be friends with wealthy people, but the story was a little different with the royal family.
Aren’t these people who go out of their way to get some gold coins and end up having to pay more?
There was no need to drink from a poisoned chalice.
‘I will make money proudly and confidently.’
Lee Han changed the topic.
“So what are the members of the royal family doing together today?”
“ah. “There will be a riddle soon.”
There was only one reason why the royal family members who hated each other gathered together.
To prove to other nobles that ‘I am better than that person.’
Of course, an opportunity is needed to prove such a thing.
Therefore, at royal family gatherings, nobles would take turns bringing small riddles one by one.
thud!
Inside the transparent glass case was an egg with a unique pattern.
The nobleman who brought the glass case said with a meaningful smile.
“ruler. Wise people gathered here today. “Can you guess what kind of creature this egg is?”
Zolbabden, who was next to Lee Han, let out an exclamation.
“As expected, Brodon, you are very witty! Isn’t it? Wardanaz?”
Lee Han, who was thinking to himself, ‘If you want to do something like that, why not enroll in Einrogard?’, answered with a fake smile.
“This is a truly witty question.”
“Is that so? really. “Wardanaz, why don’t you try solving it too?”
‘Are you crazy?’
Lee Han’s fingers twitched.
Of course, Zolvabden had a pure heart and was trying to elevate the talented boy from the Wardanaz family into the imperial social world.
No matter how great a bloodline you are born with, no matter how outstanding your qualities are, if there is no one to spread them, no one will know of their existence.
Zolvabden was an aristocrat in the imperial society who believed that it was his mission to spread the name of talented people.
Of course, from Lee Han’s perspective, it was just a nuisance.
The royal family members are trembling right now because they want to free each other, so why are they stuck there?
“I think it will be difficult because I have no idea.”
After answering like that, Lee Han paused.
Strangely enough, that egg seemed familiar.
Where did you see it?
