Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Did something happen to this mother? It's just that I'm worried about you going to war again. It's been less than a year since the last war ended, and you're on a journey again. ”

“It's okay, Mother. You don't have to worry about it. All I have to do is defend against the Luo Kingdom in the south, so it won't be too dangerous. ”

“Then I'm glad.... ”

Lycaen hugs Hildor lightly with an anxious look on his face. And I said in an exaggerated voice, trembling for no reason.

“Haha, Mother. You know your son walks out of here alive even if you throw him in a fire pit? ”

And Hildor smiled comfortably and lightly patted her back.

“Yes, my son. ”

In the past, it would have been unthinkable to cast this kind of affection on Mother if it had been the name of Jang Yoon. But now I can do it very naturally. It was because I truly thought of them as parents.

At that time, Senna exclaimed, jumping up and down.

“Brother, me too! Me too!"

But all I returned to her was Lycaen's cold eyes.

“Huff, huff! What's the matter...? ”

Sheena was so surprised that she hiccupped and froze like a statue on the spot. After returning from the Academy, I knew that my brother had changed quite a lot, but I had never seen such a cold look in his eyes.

And Lycaen told me why.

“Well, there's a tradition in my family I don't know about. ”

“Huh? Tradition? What the……. ”

Lycaen looks the other way toward Senna, who says she has no idea. Following Rikkien's jaw, Senna naturally glanced at him and only opened her eyes as a light bulb. Rudyl, the academy's motivation for the problem, was standing where Lycaen pointed.

‘Stop, don't tell me that bastard.... ’

Sheena was only able to identify the mysterious anxiety that had suddenly been pushed away.

It's gonna be okay. With such a lie... ’

It took some time for Sheena's gaze to return to Lycaen, even though she thought so. And the two eyes of Lycaen that I met.

“Oh, brother! I was wrong……. ”

But Riccianne had no choice.

“Come fully armed. ”

“Oppa... You can't be... ”

I knew very well what full armor meant. Must be a wall spur. But I don't think so. I thought there was no way I could just lie and provoke that miserable wall.

Then Rikkien opened his mouth.

“Do it today, or from this moment until I come back. ”

“You're so mean! I've got blackened faces, bulging forearms, cracked thighs! (* Sobbing *) Trying to turn my only brother into a muscle mass. * Sobbing * You know what? I'm flattening my chest because I'm stuck to the chest because of the wall protrusion.... ”

“Sena!”

Sheena's growing feeble confession (?) was his father, Derek.

And just then, sana hurriedly raised her hand and covered her mouth. He had forgotten that Rudy was with him for a moment.

The next thing I saw was Ricaien's razor-sharp eyes. And Senna's mouth automatically said,

“Everyone, get your weapons and turn around now! ”

Of course, the body was already running towards the inside of the resistance. Derek taps on Lycaen's shoulder as he watches Senna's back.

“Let's talk about this in the evening. I'm going to learn to dry tea leaves from your mother, and then I'm going to go inside. But first... Who's that young man over there? I've never seen you before. I know about Senna... ”

“Never mind. He's the soldier I take with me. ”

Rudy has come here as a soldier. So it's right to be thorough.

Lycaen, who organized it like that, asked as if he had remembered something.

“By the way... You just said you learned to dry tea leaves? ”

“Hehe, yes. It was a big hassle and a lot of hands. ”

Lycaen looks surprised for a moment and smiles. I guess my mother decided to teach me the secret of drying the leaves that she would never reveal.

“Haha. Mother, you know that you have to be strict when you teach, right? ”

Lycaen said that Mother smiled and Father pondered. When she saw that, she smiled more comfortably and turned away.

“Are you here?”

As he exits the fortified building, Anton, who was waiting, bowed his head in reverence. Lycaen, greeted with a light nod, immediately asked a question.

“You're all set to leave? ”

“Yes, I did what the Earl told me to do and got ready quickly. I can move at any time. Just give the order. ”

“Just relax and stay put for now. ”

Anton smiles vaguely.

“I wonder if it's possible to rest in peace. ”

“Hmm?"

“It's only been a day since I've finished preparing for my trip, and everyone's a little sore. ”

Lycaen nods, smiling deeply.

“Then it's not bad to loosen up a little bit from a good line. ”

“Very well. I'll make sure you're properly loosened from the line where no injuries occur. But……. ”

Anton blurs for a moment, pointing to Rudyl standing behind Lycaen.

“Who are you?”

It seemed like a nobleman wearing expensive clothes at first glance, but it was strange that other nobles were coming at this time.

Lycaen said with a voice, "Ah, I just remembered it."

“Rudy's the one I brought this time. You take him and you put him in the right place. ”

Anton gives a deeper look at his face, then tilts his head.

“You want me to assign you one now? We're going on a journey soon. Is that okay? And... are you really a soldier? ”

He was a nobleman, no matter how hard I looked at him. Not just the clothes I was wearing, but the way I acted, one by one, was in accordance with the noble etiquette. However, it was a shame that Lycaen said he was a soldier.

“He's a soldier. ”

Likayen answers with an assertive tone and asks again for Rudy.

“You're a soldier, right? ”

Then Rudy called out in a loud voice.

“Yes! Earl Frost's soldiers! ”

Anton glances at Lycaen and Rudil, dumbfounded, and eventually nods. It may not seem like it, but what can I say if I insist?

However, the soldier nodded his head, but there was still a slight glimmer.

“By the way, can I assign it to the troops right now? ”

Lycaen's idea that less trained soldiers are more dangerous than enemy swords. Earl Frost's training was in peak condition at this time. It was exactly the opposite of what Lycaen had in mind to assign a rookie with less training to such an army. Moreover, Earl Frost is preparing to march to a region where war may be imminent.

Then Rudy, who was listening quietly, asked.

“What the hell is wrong with you? ”

And in response to Rudy's reaction, Anton was convinced that he wasn't wrong. Rudy was clearly a nobleman. If you were a regular soldier, you wouldn't imagine interfering with the Lord and the Knight Captain. Of course, in Earl Frost, it happened as a daily multireflection.

After all, he called himself a soldier, so he had no choice but to treat him as one.

Anton who was so determined asked with a serious face.

“Do you see that? ”

Rudy's eyes turned along Anton's gestures, and it was the peak of the mountain that appeared beyond Procurus's white writing outer wall.

“Yeah, you mean that mountain over there? ”

“Yes.”

“I see. Is there something wrong with that mountain? ”

“No problem. I just have a question. How many times a day can you climb that mountain? ”

Out of the question, Rudy takes a moment to look at the mountaintop, which looks far away.

It is not a very high mountain. If we go up slowly, we can go up in about an hour. And if I could think of a shorter time to come down and hold it for about 30 minutes, an hour and a half would be enough to go up and down.

An hour and a half round-trip. You can't climb mountains at night, and you have to think about eating. Rudyl, who estimates time so roughly, replied.

“Maybe six times a day. But of course, we need the premise that it supports your health. ”

Anton said with a big smile.

“Our soldiers get up at 6: 00 in the morning and run up and down there before dinner. And after breakfast, five rounds of fitness training before lunch. ”

“Ugh! W-what did you just say? ”

Rudy asked with an unbelievable face. Simply put, it means you go back and forth six times only in the morning. But Anton's story isn't over yet.
