Chapter 853
“Gwangpungjeon?”
Glenn asked Karun back. He narrowed his eyes at her as if the suggestion had never occurred to him.
“It doesn’t matter if the name isn’t Gwangpung. “If you see them fighting, it looks more like a mad dog than a frenzy.”
Karun calmly shook his head.
“I just want Gwangpungdae to be promoted to Jeon.”
He straightened his bent back and said that it was his suggestion.
“you… .”
Glenn looked at Karun with needle-like eyes.
“What are you thinking?”
“I always think only of Sieghart.”
Karun raised a calm expression.
“Rimer is dead, and even if Aris returns, it will take a long time.”
He clicked his tongue briefly as if he didn’t like it.
“I don’t really care about the emotional stuff, but I understand that those two were light-hearted people. That’s why the air in Sieghardt is heavy right now.”
Karun gently pressed his right foot down on the marble floor.
“The only thing that can lift the gloom that has descended on Sieghart is to celebrate Raon’s achievement of transcendence and elevate him to the pole.”
He is a transcendent. He also raised his chin, saying that the appearance and recognition of a young transcendent is an event that can revitalize the entire family.
“Soon, rumors will spread of Rimmer’s death and Aris’ loss of power. “When there is talk that Sieghart is collapsing, if Raon has reached the level of transcendence and an official announcement is made that Gwangpungdae has been promoted to level, Sieghart will be able to reveal his majesty again.”
Karun bowed his head, saying that for that purpose, Raon and Gwangpungdae must be promoted to Jeon.
“… “Is that all?”
“It’s everything. and… .”
He raised his hand in front of his chest as if he were doing a sword ceremony without a sword.
“I think that Raon Sieghardt is good enough to become Jeonju, not only in terms of military power, but also in terms of performance.
Karun said with a stern look in his eyes that he would never have recommended it if it weren’t for that.
“Huh, you’ve changed too.”
Glenn laughed as if he was surprised.
“I no longer see you trying to crush my young nephew with force.”
“no. I haven’t changed. Raon was not my nephew at the time, so even if he goes back to those days, I will be the same.”
Karun shook his head, saying he hadn’t changed.
“That’s why they say it has changed.”
Glenn gently curled his lips.
“If it were you before, you wouldn’t have even admitted that you crushed Raon. Rather, he must have thought of revenge because he was jealous of Raon who made him hear such words.”
He looked at Karun with eyes full of warmth.
“However, I don’t see any such negative emotions in your eyes right now. just… .”
Glenn got up from his throne and nodded.
“It’s just straight. “Like those days when you followed me and swung your wooden sword.”
He smiled softly, saying it had been a long time since he had seen such clear eyes.
“… “I don’t know.”
Karun lowered his eyebrows with a sad expression.
“It took me a really long time to get out of my mind. But you and Raon got over it ridiculously quickly. “You are much better than me.”
Glenn nodded to Karun as if he had done well.
“hmm… .”
Karun’s lips trembled slightly as if he was surprised by Glenn’s words.
“The head of the family also… “It seems like you’ve changed.”
“okay. “It seems so.”
The father and son, who had always been cold, looked at each other with slightly transparent eyes.
“I’ve finished what I wanted to say, so let’s go.”
Karun said he was leaving and bowed his head towards Glenn.
“Think of your suggestion positively. And come visit me sometime soon. “It’s been a while since I wanted to spar with you.”
Glenn lowered his chin to lightly clash his swords.
“… “Then I’ll see you in two days.”
Karun said that she understood and walked out to the family battle with slightly trembling steps.
“It has changed… .”
Glenn smiled slightly as he looked at the head of the family where Karun had left.
‘I don’t know how long it’s been since I last had this conversation with Karun.’
Everything I’ve changed and that guy has changed… .
‘I guess it’s thanks to Raon.’
The starting point where Sieghart began to change was Raon. As Raon grew up, Sieghart also grew up experiencing events big and small.
And the person who raised Raon was not anyone else but his own close friend. It was Rimmer.
‘thanks. Rimmer.’
Glenn looked up at the calm night sky and closed his eyes.
‘Your student is changing this Sieghart.’
* * *
As Karun was about to leave the house, he made eye contact with Denier, who was coming down the stairs upstairs.
“Are you on your way to see your father?”
“okay.”
Karun stopped walking and nodded.
“I heard that you were there to wake Sia up, so that’s a big deal.”
Denier said it was amazing and smiled slightly.
“Because I needed to know what kind of child he was.”
Karun said that he just wanted to see the child’s face as he would become a member of Sieghart.
“So what kind of kid was he?”
“I can’t judge yet. “I literally had the body of an adult, but the mind of a 5-year-old child.”
He waved his hand to reserve judgment.
“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to visit the annex soon.”
Denier smiled and said that he too would like to see his new nephew.
“Unexpectedly, you didn’t come.”
Karun narrowed his eyes as sharp as a blade.
“What do you find surprising?”
“That Balder guy, he’s being selfish. It’s understandable if you don’t come, but you always show up at places like this. “What were you doing?”
With sunken eyes, he looked at Denier’s hand turned towards her back.
“I did some research.”
Denier said he was looking for a way to quickly restore Aris’s strength and brought the book that had been turned away from him. These were books with titles about witchcraft.
“Brother, then why have you been in Gajujeon until now? “I think everyone else has gone back.”
“I submitted a proposal to the head of the family.
“A suggestion?”
“I asked that Raon and Gwangpungdae be promoted to Jeon.”
Karun seemed to think there was no need to hide it and told him about what happened with Glenn a little while ago.
“Your brother recommended Raon to Jeonju?”
Denier laughed as if he was dumbfounded.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because Raon Sieghardt has qualifications.”
“If Raon becomes Jeonju, it will be a big obstacle to your goal of becoming the head of the family, right?”
He tilted his chin as if asking what he was thinking.
“If Raon becomes the head of the family after a fair competition, I’m just weaker than him, so there’s nothing to complain about.”
“hmm… .”
“A power without competition rots and crumbles. It is better for me not to be the head of the family than for Sieghart to collapse. and… .”
Karun shook his head with eyes as straight as spear knives.
“I have no intention of losing to that kid.”
“under… .”
Denier looked at Karun and laughed.
“It’s changed so much that I can’t adapt.”
“I haven’t changed… .”
Karun was about to say that he hadn’t changed, but shook his head, remembering his conversation with Glenn earlier.
“No one always changes.”
He nodded, acknowledging that he had changed.
“So I want to ask you too.”
Karun turned his ankle and looked at Denier from the front.
“What on earth are you looking at? Denier.”
“… … .”
Denier came down the stairs with a thin smile without answering.
“I am just like you. “I always look at Sieghardt and follow Sieghardt.”
He left those words and left Gajujeon.
“… … .”
Karun looked at Denier’s back and balled his lowered hand into a fist.
* * *
“hmm… .”
After examining the state of Merlin, who had lost consciousness, Pedric briefly took a bite.
“How about this?”
Raon walked up to Pedric’s side and asked about Merlin’s condition.
“There is no problem with my physical condition. “I feel like I’ve drained all the mana I had and am at the end of my stamina.”
Pedric shook his head, saying that his physical condition was not bad.
“If you had extracted this much mana, you would have felt more pain than dying, but it’s surprising that you were smiling until the end. and… .”
He lowered his eyebrows as if something was bothering him.
“What’s going on?”
“No, I don’t know now… .”
Pedric lowered his eyebrows, saying something was bothering him and he didn’t really know.
“Because he’s such a strange guy.”
He shook his head, saying that Merlin’s body was human, but not human.
“hmm… .”
Raon chewed his lip as he looked at Merlin, who was breathing lightly.
‘It must be difficult for even a saint to know clearly.’
Because there is no one who doesn’t reveal themselves like this.
Even if Merlin’s senses are impaired, he does not hesitate to sacrifice himself.
What’s also surprising is that, unlike your own body, you deeply empathize with other people’s work. He was an unusual guy in many ways.
“Unfortunately, the only thing we can do now is give him nutritional supplements.”
Pedric said he was sorry and clicked his tongue.
“no. it’s okay.”
Raon said enough was enough and lowered his head.
“You must be tired from taking care of Aunt Sia and Auntie, so thank you for coming.”
“Someone please do me a favor, of course I have to come! And I would have come and checked even if it wasn’t your request.”
Pedric said he was okay, got his medical equipment, and got up.
“Then I guess I’ll see you later. “I need to get some rest too.”
He opened the door with a tired face and went out.
“hmm… .”
Pedric opened the front door and started to go out, but stopped. He nodded toward Sylvia’s room, where laughter and crying could be heard.
“Your family is here, shouldn’t you go too?”
Pedric blinked and asked why he wasn’t with everyone.
“As Merlin said, Sia’s mind is frozen at the age of five. “You’ll be surprised when you see me, so I think it would be better to just be with your mother and father for now.”
Raon looked upstairs and shook his head. She seemed to want to take care of Sia, but from her point of view, she felt surprised that the man who suddenly appeared was her younger brother.
“mister? “Where is a man like you!”
Pedric shook his head, thinking that they were calling him someone like Balder or uncle.
“Well, I guess that’s true for now.”
He left the words to have a hard time and opened the front door.
“I plan to rest for a while, but if anything happens, call me right away.”
“yes.”
“then.”
Pedric said he needed to get some sleep after a long time and left the annex.
“thank you.”
Raon greeted Pedric until he disappeared and then closed the door.
The voices of Sylvia, Edgar, and Sia continue to be heard from upstairs.
When I heard the voice mixed with laughter, I smiled without realizing it.
‘I don’t know how long it’s been since I last heard laughter.’
After Sia was unable to wake up, laughter disappeared from the annex.
After Rimmer’s death, I was depressed as if a curtain of darkness had been drawn, but hearing the sound of laughter without wrinkles for the first time in a long time made me feel better.
-Of course there should be laughter in a home where people live!
Lars nodded vigorously, saying that his depression seemed to be fading away.
‘You are a demon, aren’t you…? .’
– King Bon says this every time, but King Bon is closer to a person than you!
The guy patted his head, telling him to come to his senses.
‘Maybe not now?’
Raon smiled slightly and went back into the guest room door and saw Merlin.
I was thinking about taking off the mask, but I just left it and lowered my hand.
‘Do you notice anything strange about Merlin?’
-Hmm… .
Lars looked at Merlin and licked his lips.
-I think I just fell asleep. Why is that happening?
The guy shook his head as if he felt something strange.
‘When Merlin finished the magic that woke Sia up earlier, it looked blurry, as if it would disappear. please… .’
I was about to say “just like the last time I saw Rimmer,” but I swallowed it back into my throat.
‘And I think Merlin said that it wouldn’t be easy to wake Sia even with the soul stone, but it’s strange that she woke up so easily.’
-At that time, the king was busy looking at his sister and could not see the madwoman properly. But right now, nothing feels big.
Lars shook his chin and said he didn’t know.
‘Then I’m glad.’
Raon covered Merlin with a blanket and sighed.
‘It’s stuffy.’
-In times like that, I feel better when I sleep… .
‘In times like this, you should swing the sword.’
Raon quenched his appetite and left the annex and headed to the training hall 5.
-Hey! Now let’s get some sleep! Now is the time to stop giving a damn at dawn!
* * *
Raon returned to the annex in the morning after spending the night practicing swordsmanship.
Perhaps thanks to Sia waking up, I was able to focus on the training itself for the first time in a long time.
-Ugh, you damn bastard… .
Ras, who could not sleep due to the sound of sword swings, groaned and his chin trembled.
-Even if no one else curses, the main king will curse you… .
‘Shall we have a party now?’
Raon pointed his finger at Lars, who continued to curse.
-Pa, party? Really?
Lars’ eyes widened in disbelief.
‘okay. ‘Because I promised.’
Raon nodded. Rimmer had also been sent away, and Sia had woken up, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to throw a small party to satisfy Lars.
-Isn’t that idiot still left?
‘My aunt… .’
I sighed briefly.
‘I think it will take a while.’
Aris would not take a single step out of Pedric’s mansion and would faint repeatedly when she woke up. It took a long time for her to get back on her feet.
-hmm… .
‘You don’t have to worry. ‘I’m sure you can wake up.’
I shook my head, saying I trusted Aris.
-Bo, of course King Bon is good! Then how many boxes of ice cream… .
I opened the front door of the annex and went inside, listening to Lars’ mouth watering.
“uh?”
Sia was standing in front of the front door with her arms proudly crossed.
“late!”
She called out that it was late in a sonorous voice typical of a child.
“uh? “Why is Sia here?”
Raon blinked as he looked at Sylvia, Edgar, and Helen standing behind Sia.
“No!”
Sia shook her head loudly.
“sister! “Sister Xia!”
She stretched out her lips and asked me to call her sister.
“to… ?”
Raon opened his mouth. Sylvia and Edgar put their hands together and waved them as if asking for agreement.
-You said it! That thing is still 5 years old!
Lars chuckled and said to call me sister right away.
“hmm… .”
Raon swallowed dry saliva and entered the annex.
“Who, sister?”
“Sister Xia!”
“Sister Xia… .”
“good job!”
Sia raised her hand and stroked her hair.
“Uh… … .”
Raon’s lips trembled with a fierce look in his eyes like Runaan’s.
-Kuhehehehehehe!
Lars laughed and laughed while holding his stomach.
You don’t have a party… .
