22.
Lauren stopped worrying about Richt and decided to mind her own business like always.
“But when will your spirits return?”
The sadness I had been suppressing burst out again.
“I do not know.”
“Why don’t you know that?”
“Until now, no one has had higher spirit affinity than me.”
“Didn’t you say that the spirits that can be called are three wind spirits and two water spirits?”
“you’re right.”
“That’s the only way to sing it, but no one was high-ranking?”
Lauren had a lot she wanted to say. But she held on tight. The other person is your boss. Moreover, he is a boss who puts his hands before his words. He repeated this, controlling her own mind. At that time, Abel asked a question.
“How many laps have you run now?”
“This is the sixth lap.”
Lewis, who was next to me, answered with a puzzled expression. Because she knew Abel had been watching her the whole time. Just as Lewis thought, Abel knew how much Richt had played. However, as if to confirm, he asked one more question because of his condition.
‘You’re that tired after just running 6 laps around this narrow yard?’
Although he seemed to be holding on with his own venom, it was clear that he was struggling. Still, if he were a noble man, he would have learned swordsmanship from a young age.
‘Did the previous Duke Devine also go too far?’
I felt like I was going to collapse at any moment. And Abel’s thoughts were correct. On the 7th lap, Richt, who was running shakily, collapsed. It seemed like he was having trouble breathing, as he was clutching his chest and panting.
“Oh my, how can I do that?”
Lauren fussed and flapped her hands. It would be difficult if Richt died here. Abel stopped him from running immediately to call the doctor.
“Noisy.”
Abel walked up to Richt and pulled his whimpering arm. Naturally, Richt’s gaze fell on Abel, who was in his arms. His face was pale and sweaty. It would be natural for a sweaty man to look unsightly, but perhaps it is because he is the younger brother of Maia, who is famous for being beautiful.
‘It’s pretty.’
Abel just placed his lips on Richt’s lips. The venomous green eyes widened. He seemed embarrassed. His clenched hand weakly tapped his forearm.
Of course, there was no way Abel’s body could have been pushed out. Her weak hands felt like an attack.
“Huh!”
As their lips parted, Richt took a deep breath.
“Are you crazy?”
He shouts in horror, but it’s quite cute. Richt wiped his lips with his trembling hand and glared at Abel. As soon as I let go of the struggling body, it fell to the floor. If the spirit had not accepted me, I would have hit the back of my head on the ground.
“I guess I need to improve my stamina.”
Abel said it as if it was no big deal.
“... ... Why me?”
“That way it will be easier to move around together.”
I saw a puzzled expression, but I ignored it.
“Let’s take a shower first and then eat something.”
Richt bit his lip and staggered to his feet and headed toward the inn. As he was looking at the back, he heard Lauren’s voice from behind him.
“His Royal Highness Archduke Graham.”
Richt disappeared, and Ban left the imperial palace. The place he was originally called to was an abandoned palace located outside the palace, so there was no one to stop him.
“Captain!”
Adelhardt, who had escaped together, caught up with Ban.
“I am no longer the general manager.”
Adelhardt, who paused for a moment, corrected the title.
“Mr. Ban.”
“There’s no need to call me that.”
Adelhard shook his head at Ban’s words.
“no. The Knights Templar has been disbanded, but that doesn’t mean Van’s abilities have disappeared. “Aren’t you a better knight than anyone else?”
Excellent article. But why didn’t Richt take him with him? Ban muttered to himself. I was startled by the merciless rejection and fell, but I should have held on longer. I should have hung on more desperately, but why couldn’t I?
I was half mocking myself. Meanwhile, Adelhard continued talking.
“If you have no place to go, how about going to my family? “You will be welcome.”
Would you welcome such a tattered slave? Ban smiled bitterly. Adelhard read that expression and looked nervous.
“Really. Why do you humble yourself? In fact, the treatment I have received so far is strange.”
“How was I treated?”
“Weren’t you treated horribly? There is no one who doesn’t know what Richt has been doing all this time. “I’m sorry for not being able to help you during this time.”
Even though they knew, no one interfered. It was because I was afraid of Richt. And now that the person they fear the most is gone, they start talking loudly. Half of me hated it. If you were really worried, you should have behaved the same whether there was an owner or not.
Ban shook his head.
“I have no intention of belonging anywhere.”
“Are you planning on taking a break?”
“Do I really need to tell you?”
It was a cold and hard voice. There was no interest or favor shown in it. Adelhardt eventually had no choice but to give up taking his class.
Afterwards, several articles contacted us. Everything they said was the same. I’m sorry for not being able to help you during this time. I want to help right now, so let’s go to my family together.
‘Why is it helping me?’
None of them were interested in what the class really wanted. She said it made Van feel more lonely. When all the knights of the Leviathan Knights were gone, rumors began to circulate among the capital’s high-ranking officials.
It is said that Duke Devine ran away because he was afraid of Archduke Graham running to the capital. As I was leaving, I let go of the knights, but most of them were wandering around with no place to go. People worked diligently to conceal their true intentions.
“The Devine family’s territory was peaceful.”
“Because Viscount Ain, the butler, is holding on. But it is also true that Lord Devine is not showing up.”
“Did he really run away?”
“I guess so? First of all, it is clear that the Knights of Leviathan were disbanded. “I heard that Lieutenant Adelhardt, the deputy knight commander, also returned to the family.”
“Then what about the knight commander?”
“Are you from that lowly slave?”
“But your abilities are outstanding.”
The number of people coveting half has increased.
“I will give you a special opportunity to serve Baron Adels.”
People who served the nobles came and talked arrogantly. He acted as if he was doing favors just because he was from a humble background. Every time he came, he was so noisy that it was a nuisance to the inn he was staying at.
Because of that, the class hid further and further inside. As I searched for places that nobles would not visit, I gradually moved to the outskirts.
At that time, he came.
