Count Scribe's Tutor

As soon as the short word "king" came out, the heavy static settled in the underground passage. Jun immediately knelt on the ground and Robert opened his mouth with a solemn face.

“Behave yourself and receive the king's order. ”

If the truth had been the work of a common aristocrat, he would have fallen to his knees in fear of the words "king". But the truth is, he just stares at Robert blindly.

Of course. I've never actually seen anyone take a king before. I haven't even learned the royal etiquette, so I don't know what to do in this situation.

Meanwhile, Robert's eyebrows narrow slightly as he stands still.

“I'll say it again. Take an example of a silverware arcade. ”

“What do you want me to do? ”

The fact that you don't seem to know anything.

Facing this, Robert sighs a little.

“Your majesty the king has spoken. You have to be respectful and take orders. ”

“Well, how about this? ”

He knew he had to kneel first in order to be respectful to someone.

So he bent his knees gently. But at that time, there was a hand that grabbed the cloth.

Kwaak

Suddenly, his body stops in the air. A big hand that grabs your shoulder. In fact, I kept my eyes open.

“Ferda?”

I asked curiously, but the answer did not come back. On the other hand, Ferda, who stood up for herself, stepped forward. Then he spoke in a stiff tone.

“Ser Nec has never had any contact with the realm. ”

With a desert-dried look on your face.

Ferda's eyes glow coldly.

“Why should we be polite to foreign kings? ”

Could it have been the look in his eyes? Robert closes his mouth for a moment. Then Joon got up on his knees. He stares at Ferda and rebukes him.

“But in fact, the arcade is the heir of the Earl. ”

“I haven't had a succession yet. I think setting an example is the next thing. ”

Ferda also took a beating without losing.

Joon shuts up as if he'd lost his words. Seeing that his eyes are still burning, he seems to be looking for something to argue with. But Ferda did not wait for his rebuttal.

“And the chieftain is not yet familiar with royal etiquette. So don't waste your time. ”

Ferda's gaze turned to Robert. As he pondered for a moment, Robert immediately folded the king's decree in half. Then I smiled beautifully.

“Haha, let's do that then. Honestly, I was a little awkward. ”

“Your Majesty! This is still the king's order! But somehow. ”

“They are the heroes who averted disaster. What nonsense is this? ”

Robert grins. It doesn't seem like a big deal.

Joon shut up after trying to say something more. It was his master's decision. It was because I realized that it was uncleanness to protest over this.

Meanwhile, Robert turns his head to reality.

“Well, let me make this brief. ”

Robert opens his mouth with a short cough.

Then, I organized the contents of the decree in one line.

“His Majesty summons you. ”

“· · · · · · · Isn't it too summarizing? ”

At least tell me why you're calling.

As soon as I asked, a detailed explanation followed.

“In more detail, it looks like you're honoring your accomplishments and formally executing the approval ceremony. ”

In Robert's explanation, he nods quietly.

Then, Ferda opened her eyes that were closing.

“Wait, it's not a succession, it's an approval? ”

He asked with a surprised face.

He's already had his approval ceremony. June and Serik were watching, and Robert didn't approve it himself. So, of course, I thought I only had to inherit the family.

Then why is there an approval ceremony? When Ferda questioned him, Robert replied with a somewhat dark face.

“I was wondering the same thing, but I just got back the answer to the approval ceremony. I think we should go to the capital and listen to the details. I'm sorry it didn't help. ”

Robert bows slightly. At the same time, his eyes blink once. Looking at his eyes, it seemed as if he was going to explain it later.

Ferda understands all of this. So I closed my mouth without asking any questions. When the story about the king was finished, reality asked again.

“The conclusion is that you have to go to the capital? When do we leave? ”

“Hmm, considering the preparation time. ”

Robert chuckles for a moment.

“I think we should leave in the morning. ”

“· · · · · · · · What? ”

I'm just finishing dinner.

But what, you have to leave in the morning? In fact, I was dumbfounded on an earlier schedule than I expected. Robert, on the other hand, shakes his hand, smiling as if it were fine.

“Don't worry. I knew this day would come, and I was ready for it. ”

“No, it's not like that! ”

Robert shouts with a silly face and makes a big smile.

Ferda's gaze subsides as she watches the two thundering.

* * *

And that night.

It's almost midnight. There was a secret moving human being. A man who jumps over shade and shade without making a move. It was Ferda.

Wheelic!

Ferda quickly opens the angel thread and leaps over the wall.

Where he's headed is the top of the white paper. This is Robert's bedroom.

Of course, there were those who stood guard, but that was not a distraction. Shortly after, Ferda reaches the top of the castle in the blink of an eye.

The window, which used to be tightly closed, was wide open. It's like I was expecting someone to come here.

Jubbuck

As you step on the ledge and step inside, you see Robert sitting in a chair. Even though he came into the room, he didn't seem to recognize Ferda. Then Ferda realizes she was hiding her movements and opens her mouth.

“I came to hear a story I didn't hear before. ”

Fear of Ferda's end.

Twitch!

Robert's shoulders tremble lightly. It seemed surprised by the sudden appearance. However, he replied with a smile, as if he had recovered his composure.

“Welcome. Would you like a cup of tea? ”

“The answer comes first. ”

Ferda walks out loud and sits on the couch across the street.

Robert looks down at the top of his head.

“First of all, thank you for saving my life. In fact, I don't want to talk about it in a place where June and I are practical. ”

It was a thank you for shutting up in the underground waterway.

Immediately, Robert's words followed.

“In short, this is about Brother Sarphene's interference. ”

“You mean Prince Two? ”

When Ferda asks again, Robert nods.

2nd Prince Sarphene.

He was the most prominent successor to the Kingdom of Laderon because he had similar powers as the First Prince, followed by strong foreign powers.

‘It must have been a close relationship with the Holy Land. ’

It was not usually friendly either.

We were closer than the current king. In fact, the two princes played a crucial role in obtaining the support of the Holy Nation at the time of stopping all deaths from the original.

‘He was also the winner of the civil war. ’

Last time, Sarphene was always the next king.

But there was one question.

‘Strange. Now is not the time to restrain Robert. ’

You have one year until the Civil War.

The biggest enemy of the two princes was the first prince. Even if it wasn't so extravagant, there were more nobles supporting Prince 1st than Prince 2nd.

Robert, on the other hand, has no power. No matter how many dragons he used, he could not be summoned to power in just one year. Then why are they interfering with Robert?

Is there a reason I don't know? ’

There was a good chance of that.

This is the first time Prince Robert has ever lived.

‘I need to get to the capital and find out. ’

We didn't have enough clues to solve the question right now.

When I folded up the questions that came to mind.

Robert's voice breaks his mind.

“It's all because of my lack of strength. I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise. ”

Robert bows his head with a stiff face.

As Ferda watches, she nods quietly.

“I see. Let's get this over with. ”

“Thank you for understanding. ”

“Of course, it doesn't just go away. I'll get it in a different form. ”

“Haha, be sure to do that. That way, I feel better too. ”

Robert replies with a smile.

After the conversation, Ferda hides herself straight away.

After arriving in the capital, with homework to investigate.

* * *

The next morning.

We're all set to head to the capital. Up to twenty people are allowed to accompany you. I know it sounds obvious, but I can't take the undead. So in reality, most of the attendants were filled with Elves.

When the reality of carrying all the luggage was about to head to the wagon.

Suddenly, there was a voice calling to him. It was Robert.

“In fact, take this. ”

What he gave me was a little notebook.

The first page of the notebook said it looked like an address. As soon as Robert asked what this was, his answer returned.

“This is the mansion I prepared for you. When we get to the capital, we can rest here. If you don't know, you can give it to Ser Ferda. ”

“Well, I get it. I will.”

In fact, you nod as if you knew. Robert grins as he looks like he's been handed over to Ferda.

“But I don't see Ser Ferda. ”

“He said he had some work to do before he left. ”

“To do? ”

Looking back at Robert, he nods.

Then you gaze to the far north of the garden.

Meanwhile, the time. There were three men standing in the north garden.

Heron, Rodenhark, and Harmin. It was Heron who opened his mouth first.

“So · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Heron taps his head.

It was to clear up what I had just heard from Ferda.

“Do you mean the saints will be here soon? ”

“Yes. They're coming. ”

You rub Ferda's lips and give her a confident answer.

It was expected enough without even consulting the original. Because in the face of all of death, the moon's eyes would have been spotted here.

And I'm sure they felt the power of reality. Negative forces were like ghosts. That's why I will send an investigator soon to find out the details of the situation.

“So when you hear they're coming, hide in the sewers. We mustn't let them get away until they're gone. ”

This is not the time. In order to confront the Holy Nation equally, it had to be after surviving the second disaster at least. That way the odds will be a little bigger.

Meanwhile, is it because of Ferda's serious face?

Heron nods without any rebuttal.

“Well, I see. I'll do as you say. ”

When the answer I wanted came back, I smiled satisfactorily. A moment later, Ferda's gaze turns to Rodenhark, right beside her.

“I have a mission for you. ”

“Tell me.”

“Keep an eye on them when the Sanctuary inspectors arrive. ”

Ferda's eyes flash coldly.

I wanted to stop them from entering the Earl himself. But there was no justification. That's why I changed my objective to get as much information as I could after I let it in.

“Keep a record of all the conversations they have here and report back later. Don't miss a single piece of information. ”

In fact, Heron was perfect for this kind of mission. He was good at hiding things, and he was able to keep an eye on them no matter how far away they were.

But Heron is undead. It was inappropriate to leave the Sanctuary under surveillance. So I gave the mission to Rodenhark, unfortunately.

“Got it. You are familiar with the mission. ”

Rodenhag's blue eyes gleam in splendor.

Harmin is all that's left. He steps forward, terrified to look back this way.

“Is it my turn now? ”

Harmin glances at Ferda as if to why he called himself here.

At the same time, Ferda gets to the point.

“We need 50 warriors. ”

“What's the use?”

“It's hard to tell in detail, but it's for practice. ”

Harmin no longer questioned the fact that it was for real.

“Can I get him to join us right away? ”

“No, sneak up on me. Just use the forest road as much as possible. ”

“Got it. I'll call it in." ”

Failure to join the procession to the capital meant that there was something we could do in secret. Dark Elves specialize in moving in the shadows. Harmin grins with her teeth bared.

Soon after all the preparations were made, Ferda headed for the North Gate.

Shortly after returning to the wagon, he tapped the back of his boot.

“I've been there.”

“Oh, are you done? ”

“Yes, we can go now. ”

Ferda grins. He smiled as well.

I did not ask him what he had done. It's gonna be necessary anyway. In fact, I went straight to the wagon.

“I'll be back then. ”

Waving your hands over the window, the nobles all kneel together.

They shout, putting their heads to the ground first.

“Bow down to the king of all unclean things! ”

“Salute!”

The loyal escort of the family members and servants.

The wagon left the whitewash and headed for the capital.
