Count Scribe's Tutor

With Robert's arrival, the room is filled with silence.

After a while, his tightly closed lips sprout.

“Is it true that Avamar has ascended? ”

Ferda nods silently.

Along with him, Robert closes his mouth. I did not infer where the information came from or whether it was reliable. He just took Ferda's word for it.

There was something else I was curious about.

The look on your face. Of course, Robert's face is now rock-solid. But that was it. There were no sad feelings in the blue eyes and voices.

A bold response to hearing from his relatives' rich relatives.

Ferda gives me a nagging word.

“You seem calmer than I expected. ”

I heard Robert's eyebrows twitch for a moment.

Usually you will get angry or make an unpleasant face. What Ferda just said was definitely rude.

Robert was different.

I just made a confused face. It's like he was caught in the act.

“· · · · · · Do I look like that? ”

A moment later, his face is bitterly bitter.

Robert then closed his eyes tightly and repeatedly opened. It seemed like he was trying to squeeze the tears together. However, there were no bites on the blue eyes.

Dry eyes like a desert.

Immediately, Robert mutters.

“Actually, I think it's better to shed tears. So I tried, but strangely enough, tears don't come out. ”

A sigh came out of my lips.

Robert laughs afterwards.

“Honestly, I'm not impressed. I've only seen Avamar twice in a long time. ”

When I heard a murmur with a dry smile, I remembered the fact that I had forgotten.

Robert the Third was born as a bastard.

He entered the castle at the age of thirteen. And all sorts of discrimination, contempt and assassination attempts. If he had lived outside the castle without knowing anything, he could have lived a normal life.

‘It's a bit of a real-life situation in a way. ’

In reality, of course, thanks to the condolences designed by her mother Irina Sernerk, she came to the White Paper. Anyway, the situation itself was similar. So, of course, I have no choice but to feel good about my father's king.

Then Robert turns away.

Where he's headed is the sunny window. Robert's mouth opens as the landscape beyond the wide open windows becomes visible to both eyes.

“You told me before. ”

“ · · · · · ·? ”

“If the day comes when Avamar ascends, it's the moment when I will ascend to the throne." ”

Obviously, I've said that before.

Ferda nods silently, and Robert shuts up again. As the sun fills his clear eyes, he clenches his fist. Robert then opened his mouth with a firm resolve.

“As soon as I heard that, I decided. Rely on the Lord to the end. ”

With an answer that sounds so audacious.

Robert's blue eyes glow like stars.

“So tell me. I don't know what to do. ”

Absolute confidence in Ferda.

There was a smile on his mouth. It was a sunny smile.

“I'm sorry, but there's nothing to do right now. ”

Robert's determination is colorless, but Ferda shakes her head. Then, he added the answer with a expressionless face.

“Right now it's best to just wait. ”

Slightly less steaming answers. But there was no disappointment in Robert's face.

Rather, I reacted as if I had expected it.

“Somehow. If the king's clergy moves at an unpublished point, this could be the reverse. ”

Ferda nods without a word.

Just like Robert said. Even the Duke of Setier would be suspected of participating in the king's expedition if he moved his troops in a situation where he didn't know the king was occupied.

So now is the time to die and wait under the water.

Ferda judged that. Then Robert sighs and lets out his hope.

“The best thing is for you to move first, but · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Probably not. ”

Two princes need to know something, too.

Even if you move, I'll move behind you in secret. Robert nods, agreeing to Ferda's answer.

By the time the conversation was over.

Knock, knock!

Someone knocks on the door.

After a while, it was Kalman who revealed himself. He lowers his backpack to the ground, his head bowing.

“We're ready to go, boss. ”

“Huh? Start? ”

Robert asks curiously.

Not only that, I looked at Ferda with my eyes wide open, as if I'd never heard anything like that. Faced with a pair of curious and surprised eyes, he nods quietly.

“From now on, we're going to the capital. ”

“Suddenly, why is the capital? ”

I asked as if I was embarrassed.

No matter what you say, Robert speaks first.

“I see. To get more information? ”

Of course, there was a reason.

But it wasn't the right answer. So I opened my mouth and replied.

“To weave plates. ”

“Hmm? A game? ”

“A plate to place you on the throne. ”

Robert's eyes turned round in the following straightforward words.

A moment later, he smiled softly.

“Thank you. I'm supposed to be doing my job. ”

“It's getting in the way. Just wait here. ”

“Hehe, I thought you'd say that. ”

Robert grins.

At that moment, the reality of watching the conversation slipped away.

“Well, so am I. ”

I thought you were going to say you were going to the capital together.

But Ferda shakes her head.

“No, this time, you should be here, too. ”

When the resolute refusal returns, the purple eyes narrow.

He didn't know how to cut and refuse like this. Robert, on the other hand, explained why he could not take the evidence.

“Lord Ferda is right. You're practically the southern warlord. If we go from here to the capital, we may have a problem in the future. ”

I saw intent very precisely.

Ferda smiles satisfactorily, then quickly approaches reality. He then stroked his fluffy silver hair lightly and said.

“It won't take long. ”

“· · · · · · · How much? ”

“Must be a long night. ”

I used to look at it for a week, but I caught plenty just in case.

On the other hand, he was still filled with complaints.

“I will contact you regularly through Isha. So wait quietly. ”

The expression on your face is relaxed because you say you often contact me.

After a while, he sighed deeply.

“Okay, I'll do that. ”

You realize you can't break Ferda's stubbornness.

Then he added the words with a serious face.

“Let me know if you need my help. I'll be right there. ”

That's reassuring. Ferda grins without a word.

And then one last big walk in the park.

Ferda and Kalman leave the castle.

* * *

About three days after that.

After leaving the erl, Ferda and Kalman reached close to the capital. Perhaps it was because they came up short of their bedtime, their faces were full of fatigue. But because I was close to my destination, it was as clear as my eyes.

‘If you came on a krang.' ’

It would have been enough to arrive after one day.

In fact, I said I'd be happy to lend it to you. But Ferda refused the favor. The reason was simple. Just riding on Kwain attracted the attention of people.

In other words, it was too conspicuous.

‘Reality must not leave the territory for a while. ’

At least I had to wait for a reason.

So, from the time I left the white paper, I covered the mask of the cloth. Moreover, in case anyone should see what comes out of the erl's palace, we only travel to the unpopular mountain pass.

Is it because I moved so carefully?

For three days, they arrived in the capital without encountering anyone.

And that evening.

As the sky grew darker and darker, two shadows crossed the walls of the capital city. It was Ferda and Kalman. The two of them snuck into the castle undetected, headed straight for the southern hemisphere.

It was to rendezvous with the intelligence organization, Ragney.

As I was walking in the back alley, I suddenly felt Ferda's brain. He looks back at Kalman and starts talking.

“You said you were prepared for something. ”

In the past, Ragnar was cornered just before the collapse of the tissue.

It was because two princes were interfering in the back alley. So I was prepared to never do this again. In case of treachery, the members of the organization put surveillance on each other and hid the headquarters deeper than ever before.

“I heard the inspection got tough. Is that correct?"

Scared to the end of the question, Kalman's answer returns.

“That's right. Niela's been very helpful. ”

Right after we first came to the capital together.

Niela, Heindel's chief, has been in the capital the whole time. It was to empower Ragni and to educate the xenophobes who were rescued from the slave market.

Ferda nods that she understands.

I immediately asked the question again.

“But when does the inspection begin? Looks like you're in pretty deep. ”

Since they first entered the back alley, they've only been walking for twenty minutes. I feel like I'm getting deeper and deeper, but I haven't met any members of the organization yet.

So I asked curiously.

Then the unexpected answer came back.

“Oh, the inspection is over. ”

“What?"

Ferda opens her eyes wide.

Finished inspection? When? Even though you were hiding and watching, you couldn't escape Ferda's senses. When all sorts of questions and curiosity rose, he stopped.

“You had abandoned potted plants in the middle of the road, right? ”

There were half-broken potted plants, twisted flowers, etc.

Karlman nods quietly and answers.

“That's the inspection device that Niella made. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

A large, transformed eye is filled with the light of surprise.

A twisted flower. It's half broken. Even a dirty vine.

They're all common junk in the back alley. So I didn't really care. But I didn't know it was a screening device.

Surprise soon turned into awe.

“Fantastic. I'm sure this won't be easy to spot. ”

“Yes, no one has found our organization yet. ”

Kalman smiles proudly.

There was a question that came to mind at that time.

“So what happens if someone who's not part of the organization comes? ”

“The path will not open. If you look over there, you'll understand. ”

After answering directly, Kalman points to the path that has already passed. Surprisingly, I saw a blockage in the middle of the road. I looked closely and saw that the vines were blocking the road.

Looks like a dead end to anyone.

So Ferda smiled lightly. It was because I felt satisfied because I saw a lot of progress.

Meanwhile, after answering, Kalman suddenly stammers on the wall. Like I'm looking for something. After a while, he presses down on a portion of the wall that looks ordinary. Then the wall turned quickly.

Coeur! Coeur!

After a while, the entrance to the basement reveals itself.

Kalman turns away, pointing to a dark path.

“This is the way to Ragini's new headquarters. ”

There was a strange expectation in Ferda's eyes.

How much has it changed? By the time I thought about it, Kalman lowered his starry waist deeply. With a polite greeting, he greets you with a bright smile.

“Welcome back to the organization, boss. ”
