Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Riccianne smiled at the opening of the ceremony, thinking of Riccianne, who is no longer there.

‘But don't worry. I will keep my promise. ’

“Did you call for me, Father? ”

The two men sitting side-by-side on the tea table in Riyaen's greeting turned their heads. It was Earl Prokers' father and his mother, Earl Hiller Prokers.

“Oh, are you here? Come on, sit down. ”

Lycaen sat down, smiling back at the two people he welcomed.

Bite me!

Hilder himself picked up a teapot and poured it into a cup of tea in front of Lycaen.

The warm aroma of the tea is soft and stimulating without the strong aroma.

Comfortable feeling envelops the body and brings a pleasant feeling to the body. Very familiar irritation. Your body reacts first.

Lycaen slowly stumbles through the books in his memory and pulls them out. Then he smiled quietly at his mother who was sitting opposite him.

“It's been a long time since your mother handed you a car. ”

“I've been wanting to do this since the day you got better, and you haven't been able to. I've been preparing...... Does it smell okay?”

It's been a long time since I've had a relaxing smile on Hildor's face. While her son was sick and wandering around in death, there was nothing she could do, for her, it was a hell of a day.

“Of course, Mother. I'm the son who thinks the mother's car is the best car in the world. ”

It was Riccianne's idea before, but Riccianne now speaks with all her heart. In his past life, he had never tasted such quality tea.

Among them, this was the first great car with Mother's heart in it that comforted the mind as well as the body.

Earl Prokers, who was sipping tea, asked Hildor with a surprised look.

“Ma'am, don't you think this is the first tea I've tasted? ”

“Haha, of course. It's a car I've been drying and storing since spring to give up when Reek gets better. ”

“Haha, how did I get pushed away by my son? ”

Earl Frost's mixed words startled Hildor.

“Oh, Luna said my brother is the best in the world.... What's wrong with you? ”

“Oh my, oh my, oh my! Did Luna really do that? When did you say my dad liked this the best...? White!”

Lycaen sneaks up on me and says a joke.

“Father, you'll have to look at me later. ”

“Hmm? Is that really necessary? ”

“Otherwise, you may never taste your mother's tea again. ”

“Oh, that must be true. Son, please take good care of me later. ”

Earl Frost jokes with a happy expression. But there was a mixture of his sincerity. It was in a joke that I wanted my proud son to stay healthy and not be sick anymore.

Earl Frost and Lycaen enjoyed a leisurely afternoon tea, exchanging such light stories. How long has it been?

Hildor touches the teapot and quietly rises from his seat.

“The tea's already cold. I think I should bring some tea leaves... I'll be back in a minute. ”

Lycaen stood up and said,

“Ma'am, I'll go with you. Isn't this what your son should do? ”

Liquenne once again said with all her heart. It was the first time I had a free conversation while drinking tea with my parents, but it was a very comfortable time.

He said that because he wanted to have more pleasant times like this. There, of course, was also the feeling that Riccianne wanted to replace the work that she could no longer do.

But Hildor shakes his head quietly.

“No. You haven't seen this mother's car shed yet. ”

Then he walks away with a gun before Lycaen can say anything. Earl Procurus looks meaningful toward Lycaen, who is in a rather awkward situation.

When she saw it, she could only understand her mother's behavior. My mother left because she had something important to tell me.

“Licagien.”

“Yes, Father. ”

“It may be a little early to talk about this.... ”

Seeing that he made a serious face and said it without hesitation, he seemed to have decided something in advance. Lycaen listened to his father with a quiet and solemn look.

“Now that this father has grown old, it's hard to manage the territory. Speaking of which, since your health has improved, I would like to take this opportunity to pass on your title and spend some time with your mother leisurely. ”

Kung fu!

Lycaen felt his heart stop beating. Succession.

Of course, it's not without thought. Earl Frost, my father was too fond of people. Of course, that didn't mean it was incompetent. However, in light of the imminent situation to come, it was not only a good tendency.

But Lycaen shakes his head. It wasn't time yet. I had a lot of work to do before that.

“I can't do that, Father. ”

“Why is that? I think you're ready to rule the territory.... Am I wrong? ”

“Yes, Father. ”

“Well……. Can you think of a reason? ”

Earl Frost was forced to tilt his head. His son was more talented than anyone else in the world. He is so good that he can never keep up. That's why it was so easy to decide. If my son ruled the land, he would be able to raise a family better than he is now.

After a moment of deliberation, Lycaen laughs lightly as if to throw a joke.

“I'd like to see more of this Earl Frocus of yours. ”

It is difficult to vacate the territory once you have inherited the title. So not yet. I had a lot of things to prepare when I could move freely.

But what you just said is also not a lie. Like Ricaien said before he died, this was the continent of Berath, a place where war might break out.

When that time came, no matter how peaceful and loving I wanted to rule the land, I couldn't. So until then, I wanted to see how he was doing.

‘Umm…. ’

But Earl Frost saw something else in it.

‘When did this child……. ’

He was jokingly speaking lightly, but his eyes were completely different from the contents of the horse. It was a great ambition.

Then I nodded as soon as I accepted. Thinking about it, it was even weirder that it wasn't. It doesn't make sense that a child with many talents who can't even imitate themselves has no ambition.

Then there must be a reason for saying things like that. Earl Frost nods slowly, thinking that way. Then he listened to his son's words as if he was joking.

“Huhu, you tell this old man to continue to suffer. You shameless bastard... ”

“I think I can ease your father's troubles a bit. ”

“How do you mean? ”

“Please allow me to manage the Knights and the army. ”

Military power, along with administrative power, is one of the greatest powers the lord has. Managing the knights and the army was like asking for the power.

However, Earl Frost nods as if nothing had happened to him. I was going to give it to you anyway, but the military is going to be huge.

“Well, I'm outdoorsy, so you'd better take care of it. ”

“Thank you."

The Earl nods with a light smile at Lycaen's words. Then I quickly started talking.

“Oh, by the way, I've been hearing some bad stories lately. ”

“What's a bad story? ”

“Mmmm... It's about what you said... ”

A few of the dishwashers came by and told me that Lycaen was being sarcastic. It was nothing, but I suddenly thought about it.

He smiled and replied, as if it were no big deal.

“It's just a light joke, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

“I thought that.... But you'd better not joke about that. Nobles must never lose their gifts. ”

“Yes, Father. ”

That's when Hildor came back to get his car.

“Am I early? ”

“Haha, it's too late. I was just on my way to look for you. ”

“Is that how you wanted your tea? ”

“What's that supposed to mean? I was worried about my wife. ”

“Oh? Can I believe that? ”

Looking at the two people who were smiling, exchanging jokes that were not suitable for their age, Lycaen decided to enjoy this somewhat more relaxed and comfortable feeling.

‘Sometimes it's good to rest like this. ’

Chapter 4. Knight, I can't eat that (1)

‘Tsk... These are also knights... ’

Licayen mutters in her voice, expressing her feelings without hiding anything.

Only ten men stand side by side, and I feel sorry for Earl Prokers, who is bringing in those who can't line them up properly.

No, it's not the end of the line. Standing on your thighs or sticking your hands in your pants pockets. Even though Earl Prokers announced this morning that Lycaon will be in charge of the Knights and their armies.

Exactly!

The knights paid attention while lightly stamping the floor with the neck pole Lycaen was holding in his hand. However, most knights turn their heads and do not show the intention of doing something right.
