Chapter 91: I did say I would give up my seat as the lord.
Chapter 91 I did say I would give up my seat as the lord.
Early morning.
It was finally time to have breakfast with Udits lord.
The mansion had been busy since dawn.
Welcome, my lord!
The maids shouted as they hurriedly got up and ran to the door to open it.
Welcome, my lord.
Scarlet also bowed her head to the lord.
Hmm.
The guest who looked around was a calm-looking man.
His dignified and authoritative appearance made him the obvious owner of the mansion.
Udits lord.
Scarlets father had returned.
Oops.
Then, one of the maids stumbled.
She quickly regained her balance and apologized repeatedly.
Dont worry about it.
He was authoritative but also very restrained. His presence made the maids bow their heads deeply. freewebnov(e)l.com
Finally, the lords gaze met Scarlets.
Its been a while.
Yes.
As they exchanged greetings, the lord Theodore continued to look around.
As if he was looking for something else.
Flan is not here.
He went to the auction and hasnt returned yet.
She wished he would never come back.
But as soon as she answered.
The mansions door opened again and Flan appeared.
The lords gaze naturally turned to him, and Scarlet was displeased.
You too, its been a while. Flan.
But the lords greeting was gentle.
Flan just nodded quietly.
Scarlet gave him a glaring look, but Flans attitude didnt change.
He didnt open his mouth to greet him.
The lord.
Theodore took a few steps closer and examined Flan.
And he uttered briefly.
You seem different.
Do I?
Everything had changed.
The aura that was gathered, the eyes, the shoulders that were confidently relaxed, the tone that questioned back All of it.
But if he asked if he was his son, he was undoubtedly Theodores son.
What had happened?
That was something he would find out while having breakfast.
Theodores gaze turned to the head maid.
The head maid licked her lips as she received the lords gaze.
Breakfast is ready.
What about tea?
We prepared the one that suits your taste best, my lord.
Theodore nodded as if he was satisfied, and the maids who had been waiting opened the door immediately.
A spacious dining table.
Scarlet and Flan sat side by side across from the lord Theodore.
There is no conversation between the three of us.
For a while, Theodore just savors his coffee.
And after a moment, he opens his mouth.
Ive seen some newspaper articles from the academy.
His gaze is solely on Flan.
And everyone here easily understands what those articles mean.
Youve been doing a lot of things, Flan.
He also spends a lot of gold. As he pleases, a whopping 200,000 pieces.
Scarlet interjects.
Thats not important right now. We dont have much time. Lets ask the important things first.
But Theodore just quietly sips his half-finished tea.
The fragrance of tea slowly fills the spacious dining room.
Flan. What have you been doing, and what are you trying to do?
Flan looks at Theodore blankly.
He is not blindly opposing or angry.
He just seems genuinely curious about various things about Flan.
Naturally, he is intrigued.
The knight family of Udit, whose name is renowned.
What kind of thoughts does the lord of this place have?
Magic.
Flan answers like that.
It is the answer to both questions that
Theodore asked.
In the air, the father and sons eyes quietly meet.
You still have no thoughts of the sword?
Yes.
I see.
Theodore finally puts down his empty teacup.
Lets talk a little more in detail from now on.
His pupils also have flames in them.
Theodore, the lord of Udit.
He is the lord of Udit before he is a knight.
So maybe, he should be angry in this situation.
But he wasnt.
Rather, he was very interested in Flans change.
You who had no will to live.
In Theodores mind, Flan was always something heavy that sank.
He inherited a great talent, but gave up the sword, and at some point, he lost interest in everything.
He rarely came out of his room and skipped meals most of the time.
But what happened?
As long as its not a crime.
A fiery flame that burns life.
Passion.
That was Theodores knighthood.
He burned himself to stay within that standard, and he wanted his children to live that way too.
Thats why he liked Flans eyes right now.
His grades are decent too.
At some point, Theodore had looked through all the newspapers published by the magic department of the academy.
He also checked his sons grades.
But until now, he just acknowledged them.
Just that.
Udit.
Udits name was very high and heavy.
Theodore was not a knight who would easily abandon his familys will just because he liked his son a little.
If Flan stopped in the middle of the magic path, whether he lost interest or hit his limit, the loss would be immense.
Udit would have to wear a terrible stigma, and Theodore would lose his son.
Thats why he needed to weigh his options.
Here, he wanted to confirm Flans sincerity.
Flan. You remember the promise you made with me.
As he opened his mouth, Theodore looked at his sons face again.
The eyes of a beast, not a prey.
He still liked it, even after seeing it again.
I told you clearly. If you just pick up the sword again Ill do a lot for you.
Scarlets eyes narrowed.
It was natural.
She had no idea what he was talking about. freewebnove(l)
Yeah, I also said Id give you the lordship.
!
Flames burst from Scarlets eyes.
Lordship? Lordship?
It would be shocking enough if he gave him a part of his property, but Theodore told Flan that he would give him the lordship.
The liquid in her teacup evaporated with a hiss. Then her hand trembled.
In other words, the moment Flan said he would pick up the sword, the lordship would be decided as Flan right here.
So, are you saying you dont want to pick up the sword?
Everyone waited for Flan to open his mouth.
Flan just tilted his head slightly.
He thought his mouth would open soon, but it didnt.
In the end, Scarlet broke the silence first.
Answer me.
Anxiety rose in Scarlets heart.
Scarlet and Theodore both thought Flan was considering picking up the sword right now.
The longer the silence lasted, the more they were sure he had an interest in the lordship.
And finally. Flan opened his mouth.
Thats it?
Thats it.
Scarlet and Theodore still didnt understand the meaning of those two words.
I thought you would offer me more.
?
Was I mistaken?
Theodore understood Flans words belatedly, and laughed without knowing it.
In other words, his son was saying that Udits lordship was nothing to him.
Theodore opened his mouth quietly.
Were not royal blood, but were different from the nobles. They cant have Udits fame and land even if they work their whole lives.
One of the knights of the round table. Flame family Udit.
His fame and power were higher and greater than his son thought.
But whether he didnt understand or he didnt care, Flan was still calm.
What do you think I can do if I do magic for my whole life?
Im asking you. How confident are you?
Theodore answered Flans question with another question. And the reply came back quickly.
Then why dont you ask about the duration?
Was it just a childish defiance?
As Theodore slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, Flan also slightly lifted the corner of his mouth.
Im sure Ill reach the highest place.
Theodores eyes shone sharply.
You have a lot of confidence. But, is that just a matter of spitting out your will. Or
The lord looked at Flan and continued.
Do you have any grounds for doing so in the future?
Theres no need to talk. Hes been locked up in his room for so long, he has no sense of reality. Isnt that obvious from the 200,000 gold coins?
Scarlet interjected, as if she was frustrated. But Theodore just shook his head.
He was only focused on the conversation with Flan.
I know youre doing well right now. But, its not enough to be great. You have to set a new standard.
Flan also liked what Theodore said.
He doesnt treat Flan emotionally.
Rather, he shows a rational and realistic attitude.
So, son. Lets do this.
Theodore went on.
If you win the two-event hunting competition, when you participate in the three-event hosted by the royal family.
His face, looking at his son, had a satisfied expression on it.
Ill let you compete as a magician, with the name of Udit on the line. Prove it yourself, one by one.
Flan fell into a quiet thought.
He was going to win the hunting competition anyway.
But, if he gets the name value of Udit as a reward, his future moves will have much more impact.
Then.
The answer was already decided.
My lord My lord! What is this!
After the meal, Scarlet chased after the lord. But Theodore didnt look back once and just walked.
At some point, his footsteps stopped.
What happened to Flan?
Isnt that not important right now?
Scarlet felt suffocated.
The anger she had suppressed rose up.
Do you really need to support him becoming a magician? Huh?
A family born with swords and dying with swords.
Thats what Udit was to Scarlet.
Whether Flan proved anything or not, Udit had to remain a knight family.
Why dont you question the use of the gold coins? And youll give him the lords seat if he holds a sword. Does that make any sense?
Im just watching and checking. With my own eyes.
Whats the reason? Why have you been discriminating against me since I was young
Discrimination. Scarlet.
Theodore snickered and laughed.
I think I have already given you many swords that you can wield in the name of Udit.
Scarlet sighed deeply.
Sigh
She couldnt understand his thoughts at all.
How will I face Mother later? What will the Knight of Flames think of you
No.
Theodore cut off Scarlets words.
That woman would surely
His eyes were serious as he turned to face Scarlet.
He would have gladly challenged you to prove yourself.
Ugh Flan will be here soon.
Early morning.
Spitting out the hair strands in her mouth, Becky barely got out of bed.
Finally, today.
Flan returns to the academy.
So the girl had something to do. It was to check carefully if anything was missing.
I did everything. Im sure I did
Of course, she had done everything last night.
She learned various things from the pretty summoning book that Flan left behind, and finished the summary that he requested.
Becky yawned and walked into the spacious area.
Hmm?
But then.
In the living room-like space that the representatives shared, something caught the girls eye.
It was a huge pile of books.
To be precise, it was spilled out from the slightly opened door of Trixies room.
Should I wake her up and tell her?
Why. What are you looking at.
Annoying.
Maybe that wasnt a good idea.
Trixie was always cold as ice and sharp as a sword.
Becky didnt want to be stabbed or cut by her.
She had no choice.
She had to look at the books and summarize them if needed, and clean them up if necessary.
Becky slowly examined the books.
Swish.
She turned the pages at a fairly fast speed.
Like it or not, she had become like this thanks to Flan.
Wow.
And while she was looking, she exclaimed without knowing.
Shes already learning Elvish
Vocabulary, novels, research papers
There were various types.
One thing they had in common was that they were all written in Elvish.
Becky couldnt translate them with her ability.
No, not just her, but most people would.
Humans, being humans, had a hard time understanding the language system of elves.
It was needless to say that it took a lot of time and effort to learn and use it.
Not anyone can be the next lord
Becky stuck out her tongue and started to put away the books.
She put away one after another, until she reached the last one at the bottom.
It was noticeably thicker than the other books.
When Becky opened it without thinking.
?
This time, it was not words but pictures that greeted her.
Oh, its a picture book. Thats why its so thick.
Elvish was so difficult that there were books that explained everything with pictures.
Well, it was not a bad choice, considering the visibility.
She was curious, so she turned the pages slowly, one by one.
Joint magic? Thats high-level.
Flip-
She turned the page.
A man and a woman each. Why like this?
Flip- Flip-
She kept turning the pages.
At some point, her hand slowed down.
Huh Is this a magic that doesnt require clothes?
Flip- Flip- Flip-
After turning a few more pages.
Beckys hand holding the book trembled.
At the same time, the girls face turned as red as her hair.
W-what is this
She muttered, but she couldnt take her eyes off the book.
To be exact, she couldnt peel them off because it was so shocking.
In the midst of that.
Suddenly, a dark shadow covered the book.
Becky had a bad feeling and looked behind her.
!
Beckys eyes, which seemed to be as big as they could be, widened even more.
The girls eyes quickly scanned the owner of the shadow.
A sleek academy uniform that looked like a suit, red eyes that shone like jewels, a sharp nose that seemed to have grown even higher.
The protagonist of the recent topic, with his characteristic expressionlessness.
It was Flan.
She had gotten into the habit of turning the pages, so Becky turned one without knowing.
Only then did she realize how serious the situation was.
Becky closed the book first.
Um
She couldnt look into Flans eyes for some reason.
She was silent for a long time, and then squeezed out a word.
Its not my book.
Then whos the owner?
She couldnt answer.
