"No."

Leica refused with a stiff face. Revereaux sighed.

"Laika, you're fifteen years old. I'm old enough to get married."

It was rather late. The fact that the government did not proceed until 15 when there was no particular power was evidence that it cared about Leica.

"…I don't want to get married yet."

"I know how you feel. That's why I refused to go into politics."

But this time, Rebelock couldn't help it.

"But you know. What is the target of this political strategy?"

“…….”

Leica bit her lips without a word. Revereaux spoke in a sad but determined tone.

"Meet him first. Maybe he's a good guy. After that, think about rejection or anything."

"…I see."

Leica left the room. When I trudged, I arrived at the training camp. The sound of the sword swinging sounded.

"Hi, Asher."

"It's late today."

"And you're still the same."

"You can't skip training."

Asher brushed off the sweat. Leica took the sword with melancholy.

"I grabbed the sword because I didn't like it, but it turns out like this."

"Is it because of politics?"

"That's right."

The whole village was in a gloomy mood. It was because of the political maneuvering that came to Leica a few days ago. It also came from the land of Irak where it can never be refused.

No matter how well you wrap it up, political marriage means that it will eventually be sold out. Leica had a good evaluation in the territory, so the atmosphere had to calm down.

"You must be in power, aren't you?"”

It is not yet known exactly where. I've got some connections, so I can say no to someone similar or slightly superior, but that's impossible.

"Yeah. You know that. a belaturian writer There."

"…Velaturia?"

Asher stopped swinging the sword.

"Really?"

"Then you think it's fake? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…."

Leica sat down with her head in her hands.

"Why do you become heroes and settle in places like us... There's nothing to gain from this kind of rural land....”

a belaturian writer Ash knew that place.

Because he was one of the heroes of the past.

'He's a politician?'

Asher frowned. Lord of Bellaturia. Balbacca Bellaturia.

He was not much of a man. Armed power is inferior to that of farmers and not very good brains.

Nevertheless, the reason for being called a hero was not much. It was because Valvacca was a perfect good man.

"Yeongju to you?"

"No. The son. Youngjoo is still how old she is. It's 50."

Leica shuddered as if she was horrible.

"I'd rather run away than marry him."

'That's weird.'

Valvacca used to talk all the time. He's going to get his son married to someone he wants.

It was almost impossible since he was born a noble, but because he practiced it, he was called a hero.

Suddenly the words of the assassin came to mind.

Twenty years ago, most of the heroes disappeared.’

"…is Valvacca the lord of Belarus?"

"That's right."

"Have you ever disappeared?”

"Huh? I never did. Oh. I heard he went missing about a week 20 years ago. The lord disappeared without a word, and it was a little crazy."

Asher closed her eyes. Missing 20 years ago.

"So what happens?"

"What can I do? We'll visit the land in the near future, talk, schedule time. I'm sure it will. There's no other reason to refuse."

Leica is the daughter of a nobleman. It was meant to be one day. She laughed bitterly.

"I can't help it."

Her smile was convincing. It was a duty to accept if she had the right to be born and enjoyed as a noblewoman.

"I'm a student, but I'll be there already. Goodbye."

If it's sold for political maneuver, it's probably never seen. Leica waved her hand with a wry face.

"It's been fun."

"Then lastly."

Asher picked up the sword. Leica burst into laughter as she stared blankly.

"Are we doing this until the end?”

She smiled and grabbed the sword.

"Yeah. You won't be able to catch a sword anymore, so it's a good idea to do this."

She dashed at Asher with determined eyes.

***

After one battle, Benia appeared when Leica was lying on the floor of the training camp, panting.

"My poor child."

She stroked Leica with tears in her eyes. She seemed to be more sad than she was leaving, so Leica was comforted.

"Don't worry. Mother, I'm sure she's a good person.”

"But still….”

"My mother was also a cultivator, but she's doing fine.

"I knew your father before that. But you've never seen each other before.”

"It's a family called a hero. What's going on? It would be good for us to have a relationship with you."

Only after Leica grabbed and ran for dozens of minutes, Venezuela regained stability. Her eyes turned to Asher this time.

"Asher, I have a favor to ask you."

"Tell me."

"Maybe in a few days she'll be going to say hello to your estate. Can you come with me and take care of her then?”

"You mean me?"

"That's right. Shouldn't you have someone else. I don't think I'm going alone, but you're the closest with her.”

"Okay."

Asher agreed that there was no justification to refuse.

'I was thinking of meeting you.’

Valvacca Bellaturia.

past heroes

And he was one of his close friends.

***

"It's uncomfortable."

Laika muttered with a sulky face in the carriage to the land of Belarus.

"You two are so quiet.”

"I'm sorry, miss.

"I don't really talk much.”

"Oh, come on."

In the carriage were Leica and Asher, and the knight of the estate, Caron. Laika clicked her tongue.

"Why did you choose him?"

"It's a matter that the lord himself has decided."

"I know that. The problem is, why are you two?"

Caron once fought against Asher and lost without a hand. There was no excuse for an empty talk between the two.

But I can't believe Asher and Caron are together. It only emerged as an act of malice.

"It's a part of it."

"What's the point of coming here?"

"No one does anything meaningless. I just see it in other people's eyes.”

The lord hated Asher. Even though Hiban accepted it as a disciple, half a year later, he was still looking suspiciously.

Revereaux was a prudent man. And such a person needed confidence.

"I hope you find out what you want."

At Asher's words, Caron flinched for a moment. The eyes looking at Asher sank further.

"Uh."

Leica shuddered as if she couldn't stand it.

"I'm going to get some fresh air for a minute."

She stepped out of the carriage as if she were running away.

The carriage stopped.

Caron was still glaring at Asher with his mouth shut.

"You."

the enemy's young eyes

"Who are you?"

"Asher."

"Bluff."

Charon dismissed. He grabbed the sword handle.

"I don't know who you are. But if you want to damage the territory or the lady, I won't stand still."

Thick vigilance and distrust directed toward Asher. Asher answered briefly.

"You, me?"

Caron had already lost to Asher. However, Caron gave strength to his hand holding the handle with an imposing face.

"The knight's role is to sacrifice his life to the Lord."

Caron was determined to die.

"Remember. I don't trust you."

"Think as you like."

Asher answered with a simple answer, but she was a little surprised inside.

You still suspect him?’

I understood that Young-joo was suspicious, but I didn't expect even Caron would be. Caron is a loyal engineer and prosecutor. Sodmaster himself accepted him as a disciple, but he gave him a suspicious look.

'I'm curious again.’

What kind of person Asher was before reincarnation. The reaction was strange to say that he was just a troublemaker of the land. It looked a little different from him, as if he were looking at a traitor.

"What's wrong with the atmosphere?"

Reika, who came back into the carriage, murmured coolly when she saw Asher and Caron. No one answered the question.

"… Never mind. Let's just go."

Leica collapsed as if she had given up.

***

Two days have passed since the carriage left. Leica clapped her feet as if she was bored and asked Karen.

"How much time do we have left?"

"Now that I have entered the realm of the count… We'll be there in about two days."

"It's not too far, is it?"”

Two days after we leave. And with two days left, it took only four days.

"Why didn't you exchange it when it was so close?”

"It's because neither you nor we have much to gain. It's a heroic estate, but it wasn't that big."

The territories of Irak and Bellaturia were satisfied with the present. There was no reason to have a kite because there were no items they wanted from each other.

"Most of all, starting 20 years ago, the territory of Belarus stopped interacting with the outside world."

"Why?"

"We don't know that either. It's still unknown. We don't know how the land of Belarus has changed over the past 20 years because there is no one who can connect. And that's what we didn't expect."

Young-ji, who had been silent for 20 years, suddenly discussed politics. It had to be strange. Laika clicked her tongue.

"I have a headache. But you should know before you arrive. Karen, I have a question for you."

"Ask anything."

Caron was injured.

"I know Valvacca, lord of Belarus, was called a hero. But why did you do that?"

Valvacca is a hero. He did not defeat the dragon nor did he defeat the devil. No feat has been accomplished.

Therefore, very few people knew that Valvacca was a hero. There is only one reason why Balvacca was called a hero.

"Because Valvacca was a good man who wasn't noble."

"…for that one thing?"

"Yes."

"You must be a dog or a son or a hero. Of course."

Laika grumbled. The title of hero was to run because he achieved such a feat. He was too kind to be called a hero. But Caron shook his head.

"Balbacca was a perfect good man. He was like an adult."

Valvacca was born as a child of a promising count. He was able to live a noble life, but he abandoned his life and traveled around the world to watch the horrors with his own eyes. When he returned to the land and became lord, Valvacca decided.

"I will take care of all the sick and weak in the world."

And Valvacca practiced his will.

"We gave free land to all who came, and the tax was paid only a minimum amount to roll the land. He himself lived like a commoner."

He was born the son of a countman, took care of people, and gave wealth to the poor. They separated the land for refugees who had nowhere to go, and sent it to the academy for those who wanted education.

He dismantled the city and sold off all the ornaments, and gave them back to the weak and hungry.

"Velaturia was a land without a permanent residence. You grew your own crops and ate your own crops."

"Really?"

Leica nodded her head in disbelief.

"That's what noble people do?"

Recently, the status system has weakened, but only a few decades ago, there was an absolute gap between the aristocracy and the common people. As such, Valvacca was a heterogeneous aristocrat.

"That's why you're called a hero. When I heard the rumor, the bandits and the disturbing ones came, but they were all impressed by Valvacca."

"Really?"

Leica's face lit up a little. It could not have been too bad for a good man to be a good man. Caron smiled lightly.

"The land was a place without bandits or murder. It wasn't a paradise on earth, but everyone was happy with it.”

Coo-oong!

"Hahaha!"

As soon as Caron's words were over, the carriage stopped. The horseman sang the caron in an urgent tone.

"Gi, knight! Bandit!"

"…The Bandit?"

Caron's face is distorted. Leica opened her mouth in a quaint tone.

"You don't have a thief?"
