Chapter 128Anyway,

my engagement to Talia went forward as deliberate, no matter my needs.

In some ways, I didn’t even get an opportunity to protest, and Theo checked out me with a kind of smug look on his face…….

I sincerely puzzled if Theo was enjoying a trick on me, however in the end dismissed it.

I didn’t have any proof.

In your info, it is a spiritual establishment that exists throughout the household.

A primordial god, stated to have created man. It’s a church of the Ardennes, worshipping the Ardennes.

Colourful mild pours from the stained glass home windows that cowl the ceiling and partitions.

The sweetness is indescribable.

I notice that it’s completely different from what I’ve seen within the recreation.

Except, in fact, the state of affairs I’m in is dire.

“That’s…… I actually, actually didn’t notice that that is the way you do issues, I’m sorry…….”

Talia stammers and apologizes.

Effectively, it’s not likely her fault.

Within the first place, the present engagement is being performed in secret anyway.

It was by no means speculated to be recognized to the Imperial household, and if anybody is to be blamed, it’s the patriarchs of Reinhafer and Steiner.

There’s no manner Talia would have recognized about one thing this essential.

Apart from.

‘I imply, I can inform when she’s appearing, anyway.’

I’m the one one who can inform when she’s mendacity and when she’s not, and she or he doesn’t have the brand new [Acting] expertise, so I’m fairly certain of that.

I ran a hand by way of my hair and replied.

“Overlook it. There’s no manner you possibly can have recognized that.”

As if on cue, I hear a particular, raucous voice.

“Hmph… this Christopher, I really admire you! Your attentiveness! Your ardour! That’s what makes a lady a woman, and that’s what makes love so stunning ultimately! Actually, I’m moved…….”

“Christopher-nim?”

Zitri referred to as, smiling in a candy voice, and a glance of contemplation came to visit his face, and shortly Christopher’s mouth fell open.

All of a sudden, as I watch, I’ve a query.

‘…… By the way in which, I advised Zitri to maintain Christopher as quiet as potential, however how did that occur? What did she say to him that made him do this?’

I used to be a little bit curious, however this wasn’t the time for questions, so I saved my mouth shut.

I stated my vows and went by way of all of the formalities of a knightly betrothal. Then I handed Talia a particular ring that contained my magic energy as proof of my vows.

A hoop that briefly restores 10% of your magic.

It’s not one thing you’d need to put on, in fact, however …… in a pinch, it’s a special story. An artifact with a not-so-bad impact.

…Although the that means behind it is sufficient to trigger a lot trepidation.

Then.

I hear the muffled chatter of my models as soon as once more.

The primary is Rona’s.

-I knew you’ll be like that sooner or later. Have you ever grown up now? … What is that this unhappy feeling… … ?

-Senior, are you certain that is proper…? If something occurs with the Imperial Household, they’ll have to inform them…….

-Eh~! Even when it’s okay, it’s enjoyable! Apart from, that is Reinhafer, Zitri, you’re too nervous! Furthermore… do you suppose that Younger Grasp would solely have a look at one lady for the remainder of his life? He should have not less than just a few concubines……?

‘Okay. Let’s give Rona yet another smack for now.’

I decided first and listened to the remainder of the voices.

-Ah, no…… seobangniim… hiccup!

(husbaand)

-Elena……? As a result of it’s good even for immediately. Can’t you simply not name him Seobang? For those who do, you’ll be despatched to jail for adultery…….

-Eh? What’s adultery…?

-…….

-hihing!

I don’t understand how a Karl received right into a church.

However no matter….

‘Does it matter as a result of it’s cute…?’

And identical to that, the engagement schedule was finalized.

Earlier than I left for the academy once more, I had an opportunity to talk with Robert briefly, his sword half-sheathed, however in a pleasing tone.

“Take excellent care of my daughter.”

“Sure…….”

‘If solely you’d sheathed that sword and talked to her.’

I ponder in the event that they don’t train you that you must sheath your sword to have a superb dialog.

After all, he hadn’t really stated the phrases out loud, which was harmful in additional methods than one.

There was silence between us for a second. A little bit of discomfort.

Then what?

The phrases got here out of nowhere from Rover.

“You’ll develop to like her.”

He stated, his sword nonetheless sheathed.

After I lifted my head and made eye contact with him, he smiled and gave me his fatherly heat. He smiled and gave me his typical paternal look.

“For those who don’t love her but, you’ll. That’s the type of lady she is.”

‘She’s a winner.’

Significantly, I couldn’t assist however suppose.

To not love his daughter.

That I hadn’t fairly made up my thoughts but.

Robert knew all of it.

However he simply saved telling me that I’d come to like her.

With out armed demonstration(?) or coercion.

‘I don’t find out about Shane, however I’m Nox the Scoundrel proper now, so I’m going to disregard Eleanor’s calls for.’

It’s not a part of the lesson anyway. I assumed to myself.

“Effectively, then, Professor, I’ll go.”

“Sure, my chief scholar, Nox-kun. So long!”

* * *

“By the way in which, that is actually attention-grabbing. Particularly that your thesis, in collaboration with Professor Lars, has led to the formation of a brand new industrial district!”

Zitri stated in a uncommon tone of pleasure. I nodded, feeling pleased with myself, though I hadn’t carried out a lot.

“Effectively, I suppose it’s not a nasty feeling.”

“The texture of the Fourth District has modified fairly a bit, too. There are demons in all places… Come to consider it, did you anticipate all of this if you established the Chasers space?”

“Yeah.”

I’d been feeling sorry for myself for not having anybody who understood, however Zitri was proper.

She will learn my thoughts, which makes me really feel particularly good at occasions like this. I ponder if [Throne Genius] is completely different in any case?

I can really feel how deeply she is concerned in my thoughts.

By the way in which, her expression can be very vivid.

Her porcelain-white pores and skin shouldn’t be even barely tanned by the solar, however shines by way of. And her hair is falling down fastidiously.

It’s a disgrace that the character of Zitri has develop into a sufferer of tragedy. It’s just like the Interior Lunatic’s viciousness has been confirmed.

It didn’t matter now that I’d saved her, however it was nonetheless a bit bittersweet.

“I’m glad to listen to that you just’re getting again in your ft, Younger Grasp. I used to be really a little bit nervous about you.”

“I see. You’re nervous too.”

I feel it’s as a result of she thinks I’m making an attempt to clear up the karma I’ve accrued as an asshole, however alas, that’s not the case, so… I’m perplexed.

I really feel unnecessarily sorry for Zitri. For this.

However in fact, it’s not one thing that may be helped.

‘Regardless of how a lot the longer term has modified, I’ve to maintain the asshole place in the principle story, to maintain it from getting too far off observe.’

Nox von Reinhafer shouldn’t be speculated to be on the Academy.

The truth that such a personality is so disparately positioned right here as a senior signifies that he generally is a variable originally of a brand new story.

As such, I’ve to reconcile the varied characters already current right here on the worst potential second.

I don’t deal with them as human beings, however as models, as I did in previous video games. I’ve to deal with them like models.

In any other case, I received’t be capable to give the fitting orders on the proper time.

‘Anyway, the very first thing that needs to be prioritized with a purpose to play the sport. And that’s to get the artifacts proper.’

My steps come to a halt in a piece of the Fourth Business District.

Bang-! Bang-!

(kang-! kang-!)

The sound of a sledgehammer pounding on an unfinished weapon.

The sounds of tanning and harsh shouting slowly start to emerge.

It’s a scene that appears misplaced in District 4, a district dominated by nobles, however it’s a scene that I and Professor Lars have constructed.

[Dwarven Workshop].

It’s certainly.

That is the deepest forge in all of Eldain.

It was a dwarven workshop.

“Is anybody there?”

I say boldly, entering into the forge. I made certain to forged a water-based spell to guard Zitri and my pores and skin from the scorching warmth.

Because the spell solely covers my physique and the goal’s physique, I don’t have to decrease the temperature of the environment, so it’s sufficient for me to go searching.

Zitri’s face turned barely crimson from the flames.

“…Who’s that?”

At that second, a dwarf’s irritated voice got here from inside. It was a voice that was tinged with displeasure…….

I needed to punch him within the face.

“Nox von Reinhafer. I’m right here to fee some gear.”

The dwarf scanned my face, then hummed and crossed his arms, clearly confused by the sudden request to forge a weapon.

He additionally appeared fairly drained, as if this was not the primary time he had carried out this.

“Hehe. You should be a noble household grasp, however with a purpose to forge a weapon, I would like demonic supplies first. If you will get them, I can forge it for you, however you’ll should go to…….”

Rumblelelee.

(uleuleuleu.)

With that, I poured out a bunch of demonic supplies from the subspace as if I had been ready for it.

Naturally, these have been all supplies I’d gotten from the ‘Nice Demon Slaying Unit’ within the Chasers area. They have been helpful in some ways.

The Dwarf, who noticed the pouring griffons, golems, and supplies near high-end, spoke along with his flagship tone.

“…? You’ve already acquired this a lot…? I assumed the black market hadn’t launched such a amount?”

I crossed my arms, not bothering to clarify, this time from my facet.

“How about this… do you suppose you may make the gear Dwarf?”

“…… Observe me.”

The dwarf stated, lastly giving up, after which added in a small voice.

“And my identify is Arson, and I would like you name me by my identify, not my race, as it’s not well mannered among the many dwarves to name me by my race.”

“After all. Dwarf.”

“…….”

I ignored him, as I ought to have, like a dwarf.

After I noticed the forge, my coronary heart started to race.

Right here was a golden alternative to craft and improve gadgets, and it was additionally an opportunity for my Luck stat to lastly shine.

Oh, and by the way in which.

‘I might be able to be taught the key of the First Patriarch’s sword, Stormbringer.’

Swallowing onerous, I made my method to the darkened workshop foyer.

TN: Thanks all for the nicely needs.
