Sword Master, Becomes a failed student

“Phew, I think I'll live. ”

The Lumian, sitting on his couch in his room, speaks to himself.

The countryside is as comfortable as the inn itself. After tidying up his luggage and taking a bath, he smiled softly as he felt the bitterness unfold. Maybe it's where I've lived my whole life.

Much more memorable than the Academy. It's as if he was originally a Lumian Kalad.

‘Of course not...'

He smiles bitterly.

In fact, I still don't know. Whether you're Lumian Kalad or Ryan Fromheart.

The conclusion you come to is Ryan and the Lumen. That was to say, both personalities coexisted, but to be honest, this was not a conclusion drawn by deep concern.

I just needed a reason to enjoy youth at the Academy.

or something that was hard to decide.

‘But not from now on. ’

The Lumian nods.

I hadn't changed my mind. He still thinks of himself as Ryan Fromheart and Lumian Calad.

'Not from now on’ means that it will not be shaken by this problem anymore.

In other words, it meant that we would fulfill our duties better as sovereigns.

‘The first one...... is to show my parents that I've changed. ’

Hehe, a heavily breathing lumen, pulls a few things out of his bag.

Luno Khalard, his father, was a gracious lord who was respected by the colonists. His mother, Emilia Khalard, also praised him for caring for the underlings with love.

But he was very hard on himself. They believed that such education raised their son well and strongly.

‘At this rate, I won't let you down. ’

The lumian smiles and calls his servant to check his outfit.

Soon it will be my first dinner with my parents.

I had to tidy up.

* * *

“Let's eat.”

“Yes, Father."

Father, as Luno Khalard speaks, the Lumian replies low.

It was a powerful voice. He smiled at his parents and began to eat without compromising his manners.

His parents glanced at him for a long time.

Sturdy attitude with no facial changes.

But their minds were completely different.

The lord and the lady stare at each other and talk mouth-to-mouth.

What's wrong with him? ’

"I don't know, me neither! ’

It looks so different from half a year ago.

There was no way to avoid embarrassment.

I felt strange when I first got home and greeted him.

His usual fragile appearance was nowhere to go, and it was strange for him to come to me with his heart upright.

But now it's worse.

As I took off my outfit, my body appeared to be as sturdy as a soldier's cheeks, and I felt the weight of each of my actions.

It was like being a butterfly in a pupa.

Of course, this change was very pleasant.

‘You... you grew up as a man from a child! ’

Baron Calard's eyes are slightly warmer.

I suddenly remembered last year.

My son, who had not adapted to the academy and had been returning with a dark look on his face, was still eye-catching.

Then, I couldn't help but be glad as a father because he appeared as though he had become a proper knight.

I felt like sneaking into the library and dancing.

"How dare you be so trustworthy! ’

The baroness felt the same way.

I wanted to call a social gathering right now and brag about my son for three hours. Especially Olivia, who boasted every time I met her, I wanted to tell her.

My son has grown up so well!

“Mmmm.”

“Hmmm.”

Of course, no one gave it up.

I just eat quietly, expressionless, as usual.

A moment later, Baron Calmed down the overwhelming emotions and asked the Lumian a question.

“Lumian. How's life at the Academy? ”

“Yes, Lumian. How was your semester? Tell me."

The baroness also looked at the lumen with a curious look.

In fact, this is the same question I asked last year.

And the lumen of that time...... instead of saying anything, I shed chicken poop tears. There was still a shock in both of their heads.

‘But now, won't there be a different answer? ’

‘I would have adapted by now. What kind of son does our son have? One year is enough! ’

There was still no face.

However, the expectations in my eyes were burning like fire.

Please tell me you're doing well this time!

May your son, who loves you more than anyone, live a pleasant and happy life without suffering from strange and distant places!

This was their only hope.

He had hoped for something much bigger and then hurt him last year, so he didn't want to put too much pressure on him anymore.

By the way.

“Th-the... father, mother. ”

"Hmm?"

“What's the matter? ”

“Actually, I have something to show you. ”

The Roman who spoke up took something out of his arms. And I put it on the table.

The two eyes naturally move toward you.

Something made of glass, or crystal, and two sheets of paper.

Baron Khalard ordered his servants to retrieve them.

“Huff!"

I shouted without even knowing it.

"What the hell is that?"

The baroness looks at the baroness with an unbearable expression, curious and unacceptable.

Regrettably, she has poor eyes, so she is unable to identify the object in spite of its geography.

That's why, when the baron opened his mouth, the reaction had to be more dramatic.

“Lumian…… at the Academy swordsmanship twice in a row……?" ”

“Huh?"

“And you won a joint…… swordsmanship for Academy 1st and 2nd grade?" ”

“What? Is that true, Lumian? ”

They could no longer keep their expressions blank.

They believed that their son needed a strict education, so they were both stingy with their own compliments and expressions, but now they are exceptions.

Consecutively ranked # 1 in the Royal Knights Academy, where members from all over the kingdom gather!

That's not enough, winning swordsmanship!

Does this mean it's true?

Is it possible that this swordsmith's medal, report card, was forged? ’

Baron Khalard looks at his son with suspicious eyes.

I honestly couldn't believe it. No matter how beautiful he looked, he wasn't the most unrealistic person. But the moment he laid eyes on the Lumian, he cleared his suspicions.

Anyone would have.

The face his son is showing now, and his attitude was never a liar.

“I mean it, Mother. ”

“…… really? ”

“Yes, you can send someone to the Academy. It's true. It's true...... I got first chair at the Academy. ”

"......."

The silence lasts for a moment.

It was never the same unpleasant silence as the funeral home.

Rather, when I watched my older son get married, I felt overwhelmed and was like a man who could not speak. They look at the Lumian Khalard with red eyes, tears in their eyes.

“This is enough...... to be your firstborn son, right? ”

The Lumian smiles beautifully.

Tears fall from both eyes.

* * *

“By the way, I haven't told you why I called you yet. ”

“I know. ”

Baron Khalard and the baroness quickly regained their composure.

Unlike the original lumen, they both had strong spirits.

Happiness is joy, and I had to say something.

Even the Lumians were familiar with this, so they nodded with an unorthodox look.

“What's going on? Did something bad happen..."

“No. If that were the case, I would have written it down. ”

“It's good. I just wanted to surprise you a little..."

I was even more curious when I said that. The Lumian tilts his head.

Good job.What's there to be happy about in this countryside?

Did you find any gold mines in the back mountains? No, I don't feel that way. ’

No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind.

They smiled at each other as they laughed at each other.

“Haha, I thought you were all grown up just now. But you're still young. ”

“I see. I thought I'd understand if I said this..."

“Can't you tell me now? I'm very curious..."

“Hmm, yes. I don't know if you've noticed at all or if you're pretending you're not...... but I'll tell you now."

Baron Khalard has gained all the weight he can.

The Lumian straightens his torso without even knowing it.

Something has come to my senses that a big event is coming in my life that is completely different from what I have until now.

And this was true.

Baron Khalard's mouth begins to tell a story about 'the tale of the soul'.

“A tale came from the Baron Karajan. Nakhon Karajan, he wants to marry his daughter to you. ”

"......."

“Haha, you. You're finally frowning. This father thought you were someone else in the middle of a semester."

“Hohoho. I know. ”

The baroness smiles, covering her mouth with her hands.

But I couldn't hear it in the Lumian's ears at all.

It was because he was quite shocked.

Marriage? ’

I didn't feel real.

No, I never really thought about it beyond the unrealistic level.

Of course, I talked to Morgan a few days ago....

I've never kissed a girl before. ’

I thought about it for a while and just passed it on.

So, right now, he couldn't cope with his father's bombing remarks.

I just opened my mouth with a blank expression.

“Hmmm. I'm not sure yet...... but I'm thinking positively. Karajan is a traditional family that has ruled a large territory for generations, and is said to be excellent in the character of Baron Nakhon Karayan..."

“Is that all? My eldest daughter is also rumored to be beautiful and wise. ”

“Yes. I believe you are a match without shortcomings. ”

The descriptions of the martyrdom continued.

But the Lumian hears it with one ear and spills it out with one ear.

The marriage partner was also important, but for now it was more important what she thought of marriage.

He began to take his worries seriously, barely holding on to his mind, in a chaotic situation that had never been tried.

‘First of all...... I'm not negative about marriage. No, I really want to! ’

He wanted to get married.

What is the wish of a eunuch who does not have his seed?

Sex and offspring.

Things you can never, never have.

Since the system that could hold these things in hand at the same time was marriage, the Lumian could not help it.

‘But... I didn't mean to do it so early...'

The face of the Lumian was troubled.

I don't think I want to mess with her like my provoked brother, Morgan.

But I can't make a proper debut in social circles, no excitement, no tickling, no sweetness.

It was not a pleasant thing to get married according to my parents' intentions.

‘Of course, if she's pretty, the story will be different...'

Yes, that was the most important thing.

If your spouse is your preference.

If his face, body and personality were all women close to his ideals, he was willing to give up the Academy's youthful romance. I was able to come straight down to the territory and start my marriage.

The Lumian was such a man.

‘But there's talk of family, and I can't see my spouse...'

Stop.

His body suddenly stiffens as he continues to think.

Father's words that he couldn't hear properly while continuing his worries.

It reminded me of a blur.

The Lumian asks with an urgent expression.

“Hey, Dad! ”

“Yes."

“Hey, I'm sorry... … Where did you say the bride was? ”

“Haha. You're distracted, but you're not listening." Lilly Karajan, Baron's eldest daughter. As I said before, it's very wise... "

“I'm sorry, Father. ”

The Lumian cut off his father's words.

Baron Calard looks surprised because he is a well-respected and respected lumen all the time.

But the Lumians didn't care. It was more accurate to say that I didn't have the strength to use it.

He emphasizes once more, urgently and decisively.

“Marriage, I can't. ”

* * *

‘Absolutely not. ’

The Lumian returns to his room, shaking his head on the couch.

This marriage was the opposite. Engagement was never enough.

It was less than a day ago that I decided to be a great child who was not ashamed of others, but I couldn't help it. He closes his eyes and thinks. ‘Against the girl who was rumored to be in the neighboring territory...'

You judge people by their looks, you snob! I couldn't help but overhear the sound. The Lumians were snobs.

He even saw not only the rumors, but actually the childhood of her, Lilly Karajan.

Six years ago, the shock that I felt was still there, so I didn't have to say any more.

‘Somehow. I thought that's why I got the message out of the one with more power than us first...'

It seems that all the surrounding lands know about her appearance.

The Lumian sighs.

“Phew."

It was a pity.

I had no idea how much anxiety Baron Karajan had and how hard it was for his eldest daughter.

But it was also something we could never compromise on.

I don't know if he meant to be on the other side, but I don't know if he enjoyed it all and got away with it.

“No. Absolutely not. ”

The lumen that Nazik recited tightly clenched his fist.

A vigorous determination gushes from his body.

An attitude to be willing to play a game with my parents. He was speechless even when he heard the sound of the disobedient.

But then, someone knocked on his door.

Knock-knock.

“My lord, I have a message from you. ”

“…… What is it? ”

“Baron Karajan is coming with him next week, so don't make any mistakes..... convey the basics about Baron Young-ho......."

The servant does not finish what he was about to say.

It was because the sight of the Lumian was so frightening. I felt like I was the one who knew him.

He barely delivers the envelope, and quickly disappears from the lord's eyes.

The Lumian sighs again.

“Phew, coming in person? This is crazy.”

A sit-down lumen tears out the envelope with a puritan.

Even if I don't like the situation, I can't let go of what my father gave me.

He frowns and reads the front page.

Surprisingly, the first chapter was not about baroness.

It was a letter written by my father.

[My dear son.

I saw you for the first time, screaming harshly, looking up at you…… I've been wondering for a long time where you went wrong.

Of course, it is a burden to be married or engaged.

However, considering that I have to go through this process as a future lord to inherit the territory, the violent reaction you just saw…… approximate…… so I realized that I really made a big mistake while I was alone thinking about what happened earlier. Now I'm trying to make this right.]

My father made a mistake? ’

I didn't understand what I was saying.

Fortunately, the letter is not yet finished. The Lumian continued to read the letter.

[Baron Karajan's eldest daughter, in the last six years, has changed so much that she doesn't recognize him. I'm telling you, it's literally gone unnoticed.]

"......?"

[I'll put aside the power, the wealth, the computation. Lilly Karajan is an amazing beauty. Unlike before.]

"......!"

[So rest assured. Your spouse will never be a princess. Rather, she must be a beautifully opened beauty to envy all men......

I felt a bit uneasy for a moment because of a misunderstanding, but I also thought it was great. Today's case is proof that you grew up to be a man, not a child.

I understand enough as the same man.

I hope you'll cut it short and face me tomorrow with a smile.

Enclosed is a portrait of the young baron. I hope the misunderstanding is solved.]

The Lumian reads all the letters and hurriedly looks back. I couldn't keep my heart pounding.

And I finally saw the portrait of the baron.

“So much... different. ”

He mutters to himself without even knowing it.

As if stuck for a long time, the Lumian who was sitting with the portrait slowly stood up.

He opens his window, struck by the night wind, and thought calmly.

‘For now, let's meet. ’
