Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 1. Another uninvited guest (3)

Suck!

And the moment I saw that smile, Rudy felt his spine get cold without me knowing it. At the same time, you can see Senna's right shoulder twitching.

Chachang! Phew!

“Kuaak!”

Three sounds sounded simultaneously. Then two new brothers fell again.

“Senna wins again! ”

One male student, who was watching the duel, cried out with a bored expression.

It was because Rudy was bleeding red from the back of his hand, as opposed to Senna, who still stood with a bold look on her face.

“That's it, Sena! ”

“You don't call her the queen of the Academy for nothing? ”

“Ha, is there anyone who can defeat her? ”

When the students who were watching the duel said one thing at a time, the arena quickly turned waxy. Meanwhile, Sena slowly walks into the middle of the arena, slowly raising her hands.

At the same time, the noisy arena quiets down in an instant. And everyone's eyes were focused on her.

“No more fighting. ”

It was clear that there was no duel. It means I won't accept anyone's dashboard anymore. At the same time, the boys who were gathered around me sighed as if they had promised.

Either way, Sena takes a comfortable step outside the arena.

‘Oh, now you're going home for one month. ’

The training course of the Royal Academy is 3 years. And Sena was the third year this year. Now that I have completed all the courses, all I have to do is go home.

‘I'm so sick of this place. All men are weak... ’

The best man she could think of was her brother-in-Iaw, Lycaen Prokers, with silver hair and red eyes. The image of the brother struggling from childhood to revive his family was deeply imprinted on her eyes, so the dizzy man did not even notice.

Sheena turns her head and sees Rudy hemorrhaging the scar on her back of her hand.

Rudyl was the best swordsman in the Royal Academy. But I could never win over Senna.

‘If I was half of my brother in Ricaien, I would have thought about it a little.... ’

In fact, Rudy was the idol of almost every girl in the Royal Academy. From the confident backdrop of Earl Puldenbine's firstborn son to a brilliant swordsmanship and a handsome, manly face. But it's the norm of girls everywhere.

At least in Senna's eyes, he was only a weak man who was not half the size of his brother.

‘This time, you must insist on teaching me your brother's sword. ’

Her superior swordsmanship was made because she had a great master, Lycaen, though she had a natural talent. A sword that Lycaen taught me in self-defense, in case you're wondering.

But the sword Senna wanted to learn the most was "Haha." An invaluable sword that relentlessly pushes down the air around it with its enormous pressure. Of course, I didn't even know his name. But I saw with my own eyes the power of the sword.

Yuck!

When Senna was reminded of Lycaen's sword, she felt an excitement that I did not know, and grabbed her two fists.

"This time, I will learn! ’

Then you hear someone calling from behind your back.

“Senna Procures. ”

Turning back, you see someone walking towards you. He was a little tall, small-sized man, or an atlantic-faced boy who was still too much to call a man. And she was the face she knew.

“Raul?”

One of the most famous figures in the Royal Academy, Raul Stenser, was in a way different from Sena. A genius boy who enters the Academy at the age of thirteen, three years earlier than sixteen, scaring all the academic professors.

Sheena looks at Raul with a skeptical expression. It's because Raul suddenly spoke to me for three years in the academy who had never spoken to me before.

When Raul arrived in front of Sena in a relaxed step, he bowed politely and opened his mouth in a familiar manner.

“My name is Raul Stenser. If you wouldn't mind giving us a moment. ”

The academy's students are divided into three categories: The first are the children of nobles with territories. I attend the Academy to learn the knowledge I need as a nobleman and to make connections that I can use in the future.

The second was the children of nobility without territory. Instead of having no territory to inherit, they study at the academy to build connections or gain knowledge for the future because the path to a senior bureaucrat or military officer is open.

The last three were the disciples of the runner-up. The students at the Academy were the lowest, but more fiercely studied.

Since the identity of Junjong is not a tax test, if he does not get into the administrative position in the central or regional territory by his own strength, he returns to the status of the commoner. In order not to do so, we study with a feeling of vomiting blood.

Raul Stenser was among the third in Sheena's gaze.

“But what are you going to talk about? ”

When Senna asked, Raul calmly replied.

“It's about Lycaen Procures, Senna's brother. ”

“Huh?"

When Senna was embarrassed by the unexpected words, Raul said.

“Senna, as you know, the children of sub-works like us should have a lot to worry about besides studying here. ”

The path given to the children of the semi-finalists who graduated from the Academy was either one of them. Will you take the exam of casting a central administrative position or will you entrust yourself to the Lord of the province?

“That's right."

“To cut a long story short, I'd like to work for him under Licagien. ”

“What, what? ”

Senna looks at Raul with a face full of disbelief.

“But why? ”

It was a funny question to ask. If Raoul's talents would come to his territory, he would welcome them with a double number. But I asked him why he didn't understand.

But it was a question of course. Earl Frost is only a ’Earl' in his name, and in reality, he is not only a Baron. And that was something you could find out just a little bit about Earl Frost. I had no choice but to question her because she knew about such matters.

Raul smiles quietly at Senna, who stares at him.

“As Senna knows, Earl Frost is clearly in bad shape. But Earl Frost has two possibilities. ”

“Possibility?"

“Yes, the first is compassion. The reason that Earl Frost didn't have enough money is because of the taxes that the current lord, Earl Frost, collects from his people. As opposed to 50 percent tax on land, you take 40 percent. Thanks to this, the financials of the territory are hard, but their loyalty to the Earl is great. ”

“Well, yes. ”

Senna nods without even knowing it. Although Cena was unable to understand the manner of his father's markings, it was clear that the settlers showed great loyalty to him.

“And the second possibility is Riccianne, who is very talented in many areas. ”

“Well, my brother's pretty good. ”

Sheena nods with a cheerful look as if she complimented herself. But Raul's story was not yet finished.

“But Licagien must also have one weakness. ”

“What? What's my brother's weakness?! ”

Suddenly, Senna opens her axe and looks at Raul, but Raul doesn't hesitate to continue.

“You have no coolness. ”

“Huh?"

“Being the head of a household, and the owner of a territory, requires the coolness to cut off even the flesh if necessary. But Riccianne doesn't have that kind of coolness. ”

In response, Senna folded her arms and twisted her head outward, saying with the bear's expression in her mind.

“Well, my brother's a bit of a sweetheart. ”

What they said was definitely not wrong. It was because the two of them knew Lycaen was the original Lycaen.

“That's why you need someone to judge and decide what to do for you. ”

“That's you, Raoul? ”

Raul nods with a strange smile that just appeared. Seeing that, Senna blinked her eyes and looked at Raul. The young one even looked smart and pretty, but I couldn't erase the idea of saying something quite arrogant.

I can't take this guy! ’

Sana, who was so determined, asked with a sinister expression.

“But do you think, if you say you're going, you're going to take me with you? ”

Raul nods without hesitation.

“Of course.”

“Ugh, yeah? ”

“Haha, I'm too confident. What if I say no? ”

“I'm just saying that because I know it can't be. But if you don't like it, I'll look elsewhere. ”

“Huh? What, what? ”

The person who was rather perplexed by the unexpected reaction was Sena.

"What's with the kid? ’

At that moment, however, Raul turned his back without hesitation.
