How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 83

“Wait a minute, Young Master. Please calm down. I will apologize on your behalf.”

When the excited Azlet was about to raise his voice, there was a young wizard who quickly stepped forward and bowed to Xian.

Xian only moved her eyes to look at him.

“you?”

“A rail belonging to the Magic Corps.”

He bowed his head without hesitation, having nothing to do with anything other than belonging to the same magic team.

He was quick-witted and quick-witted.

But no. He had no intention of forgiving Azlet with his apology.

Above all.

“rail! What is an apology? Confucius, do you know how much the head of the household hates you for doing such a foolish thing? I was trying to kindly chase you away before you get into the ears of my family head, tsk tsk!”

What’s the point if someone else apologizes instead when the person responsible is running wild?

“Azlet-sama… … .”

Only the rail stuck in the middle was a waste. As for him, he came out because he did not want his superiors to blush with the heir of the family.

“okay. Confucius, you must have completed the first semester of the academy? It must be this old man’s job to check how well the successor of the estate has learned in half a year.”

“Just tell me the point.”

“profit! Don’t you understand the word duel!”

“That’s good.”

Xian was right. He stepped forward. It was his preference to share a fist neatly rather than repeating a mouth-to-mouth fight.

Seeing that, Azlet smirked.

He knows very well what Xi’an looked like in the past. The appearance of throwing away training and wandering around.

It never occurred to me that a guy like that would train diligently just because he went to the academy.

Azlett shouted confidently.

“Go, Rail! Go and see how much your level of Confucius has increased!”

“yes? I-I mean?”

“Then it’s not natural. Shall I run for this old ball myself?”

“Ah, I see.”

Reil’s expression turned dark at the fact that he intervened and even ended up in a duel by proxy.

He had no intention of hating the successor of Yeongji.

‘Will it be okay if I fight properly and lose?’

At that thought, he took a reluctant step.

Around that time, someone made a similar request to Xian.

“I will take your place, Master.”

It was Shan.

Contrary to what he normally did, he now had a sharply tightened expression.

Xian asked.

“you?”

“My sister was insulted. I think it’s right for me to fight.”

“I don’t really care.”

Ran said that from the side, but Shan didn’t listen. Unlike his sister, he seemed very caring.

Xian nodded.

but. Even if he’s angry, it’s okay for him to do it.

“okay. do whatever you want.”

Thus, the proxy duel between Azlet and Xian, each with its own representative, began.

The servants were sitting in a circle at a distance, and Wilfried stood as the notary public.

Receiving everyone’s gaze, Reil and Shan confronted each other in the middle.

‘I thought I’d do it roughly if it was Young Master’s opponent.’

Rail thought.

If the other party is also an agent, there is no need to look at it.

‘I know it’s wrong that Azlet-nim insulted your sister, but… … It turns out that the world doesn’t just go back to wrong.’

He apologized to Shan inwardly.

But he didn’t have to apologize. Shan is a beast race. A race that longs for power and strength.

he was well aware

‘I win.’

It’s not the right side, but the winning side is justice.

“kiln.”

“Please come!”

Rail raised both hands. Lightning began to gather between them. Jigsaw Jigsaw! He shot the completed magic in an instant.

right after that.

“Huh!”

Rail was very surprised to see Shan approaching right in front of him.

Shortening the distance with just one step, Shan stepped on the ground and turned his upper body to punch out.

There was a ball of lightning that had just been completed, but Shan didn’t care at all.

Even while his hands and arms were burning, Shan’s fists steadily closed the distance from the rails.

“Kuk!”

Rail hurriedly twisted his body to avoid the fist.

I managed to avoid it somehow, but I didn’t miss it completely. Shan’s fist slashed through Rail’s side.

Duduk.

As I heard the sound of bones breaking, the rails struck again.

I comforted myself by saying that it was a relief that I bought time to feed myself in exchange for a few ribs.

“Kang!”

But, of course, it was time to take it off, but Shan didn’t take it off at all.

He grabbed Rail’s shoulder with his outstretched fist. Then he jumped up and wrapped his legs around Rail’s head.

“uh? uh huh?”

Rail couldn’t come to his senses at the attack, which was linked like water flowing.

To him, a duel was a form of exchanging each other’s attacks one by one.

It’s not really an unspoken rule or anything like that, isn’t it natural that once you reach out, the action of retrieving goes in?

If you’re a swordsman, you need to retrieve your sword and get ready for the next attack, and if you’re a wizard, you have to save up your remaining mana and create magic again.

However, Shan’s gap was extremely short.

I don’t know if it’s about cyan, but it felt like there was no gap at all on the level of rail.

“Huh!”

Shan hooked his legs around Rail’s neck, tripped over him, and slammed him to the ground.

“Cuck!”

Rail, who hit his back violently, let out a rough breath. For a moment, it felt like my lungs were collapsing.

Shan’s fingernails were on his neck as he couldn’t come to his senses.

A decision was made in an instant.

Less than 1 minute had passed in the 5-minute duration of the heavy rain.

“Wow… … .”

“Is the little kid great?”

“I guess he’s not a normal kid.”

The servants who were watching the duel murmured.

Rail admitted defeat with a devastated expression.

For him, regardless of Azlet’s work, being defeated by an unknown kid was just humiliating.

No matter how great the Beasts are, there is still an age difference.

While everyone is buzzing like that.

“Keugh… … .”

Seeing Rail lose, Azlet slowly stepped backwards in a cold sweat.

I lost the duel, so I have to apologize.

But he really hated it.

Are you saying that you should bow your head to a young guy in the dark after getting this old!

If he had been a heir with a straight mind, he could have pretended not to win, but he didn’t want to do that even if he died to an idiot like Xian.

So, I was thinking of running away.

“Where are you going to run to?”

Sian appeared before he knew it and was blocking his way.

“Confucius, I will tell all of you to the householder! It is said that Confucius, who returned from vacation, lost his senses and appeared wearing a woman he had been rolling around from somewhere! What’s more, they persecuted even me, who kindly taught me!”

Azlet shouted, a blood clot in his throat.

Xian’s eyes grew cold.

At that time, Wilfried screamed at Azlet with a frown on his face.

“Be careful with your words, Lord Azlet! She is the daughter of a mountain army!”

“What… … !?”

Upon hearing the word Sangun, Azlet’s face turned white.

He was convinced that the woman brought by that idiot Prince couldn’t be of great status.

But it wasn’t.

“San-kun? Who is that?”

“You know that. The tallest person in Jakarta. He is on the same level as the head of household.”

“Nonsense! Are you on the same level as the head of household?”

“You mean you brought the daughter of such a person?”

With that word, the eyes looking at Ran, Shan, and Xian changed in an instant.

The fact that she wasn’t a lover brought from a brothel like before, but a high-ranking lady.

Even if it’s a real lover, their eyes are bound to change.

Unlike the women he had brought before, if she was a young lady of this level, she might become the mistress of the family.

“You don’t have to be so tired. Since he said he didn’t really care, I’ll forgive you for this.”

Sian snapped his fingers.

Then Shan rushed over and kicked Azlet with his feet.

puck!

“Knock!”

With a clicking sound, Azlet frothed at his mouth. They were all old people, but there was no forgiveness.

Of course, the fact that it ended after fainting was actually something that was seen, but it seemed unforgiving to the servants who were not familiar with it.

“These two are my guests, so treat them as you treat me.”

Xian asked the servants who were speechless, and took the two into the castle.

* * *

The events immediately following Xi’an’s return quickly spread throughout the castle.

Anyway, kicking that old man like that is a bit… … There were a few opinions that said, but that’s all.

Everything else was just a story about the appearance of Azlet of the bubble door and about the young master who brought Gen Asla’s children as guests.

While the mansion was agitated, Xian was giving out rooms to Ran and Shan one by one.

“I’m sorry the whole house is a mess.”

“It doesn’t matter, that’s about it. Compared to the mercenary guys, that’s not even an insult.”

“I’m glad you said that.”

“By the way, are you being treated badly at home?”

“What is it?”

Since the death of the original Xian, he has only come to his original state once.

After catching Beriam, he came to see the householder.

To the people of the castle, he would still look the same as he did in the past.

“Have you unpacked your luggage?”

“huh.”

“yes!”

“Then go out. It’s a long time ago, so I’ll guide you to the gymnasium.”

There were several gymnasiums in the lord’s castle.

Some of them are off-limits to outsiders, while others are not.

Xian guided the two to the other side of the gymnasium.

“oh… … .”

“There are many articles.”

Looking at the knights training in the gymnasium, Ran and Shan’s eyes lit up.

More than any other place in the castle, it was rewarding to guide you here first.

These two would have been most interested in this place.

“young master. Maybe those people… … ?”

“Are they the descendants of the rumored mountain army?”

“Please introduce yourself!”

On the other hand, the knights’ eyes were shining as well.

Hearing rumors circulating in the castle, they were very interested in the existence of Sangun’s daughter and son.

Especially for Shan, who proved his skills in person.

“Your sister is older!”

However, due to Shan’s remarks, the attention soon focused on Ran.

“Can I ask for a favor?”

“great.”

Ran didn’t deny that interest either.

She clasped her hands together and relaxed. Then, starting with the first challenged article, he started fighting.

1:1 Dalian. A winner’s match in which the loser is eliminated and the winner stays to compete with the next person.

As the knights gradually gathered, the number of participants in the sparring could not be counted on one hand.

The daughter and son of the strongest man in faraway Jakarta. Opportunities to compete with such people are not common.

On the other hand, Xi’an watched it from a corner of the gymnasium.

Wilfried stood next to him.

“… … .”

He occasionally glanced at Xian out of the corner of his eye, but his expression was still expressionless.

It wasn’t really that kind of personality, but he kept a poker face as much as possible while working.

“Come to think of it.”

Xian spoke to him first.

“What were you talking about earlier?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It would be enough to send a knight to meet you, so why did the masters come directly?”

“Ahh.”

Is that what you were talking about when you just arrived at the castle?

Wilfried nodded and replied.

“No big deal. Grandpa Yeom told me to take care of the young master and left.”

“Are you angry?”

“I never dreamed that my grandpa thought of you that way. When I saw you in the past, it seems like you were all face to face.”

“Yeah what… … If you left than that, where did you go?”

“Why don’t you and the head of household sometimes go out for an outing? This time, the two of us left without saying a word.”

ah.

Xian agreed.

He knew very well that Yeomno sometimes went out with the householder.

However, outward appearance is only an appearance, and the reality is different.

‘It seems he got information about the Dark Magic Tower and went out.’

Going to the Dark Magic Tower in secret from the other vassals.

What kind of information did he ask for so he emptied the territory and left?

Xian’s eyes narrowed.
