A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood - A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood chapter 217

Episode 217 – Finally, Back Home

Bregen Empire. Alberto and Nina’s hometown, and the country where they were born and raised.

‘You’re finally back.’

Alberto stood silently, stepping on the land of the Bregern Empire, beyond Brisraum.

When his status was not restored, it was a land he walked on as a wanderer.

However, now he was not a wanderer, but he was walking on this land as the eldest son of the Maidern family, a famous swordsman of the Bregern Empire in name and reality.

The life of a wanderer with no place to return became the life of a traveler with a place to return to.

And the destination of Alberto’s traveler life was his hometown

“How does it feel to be back in your hometown?”

Nina came next to Alberto, who was deep in thought as he stepped foot on his hometown.

Her attractive brown hair was flowing in the wind.

Alberto smiled as he looked at the person who had spoken to him and brought him out of his contemplation.

“Huhuhuhuhu, it’s happier than eating any other dessert, right? It’s like the joy of being able to share a limited-edition dessert with others.”

“Is it that much?”

Alberto answers with a smile. And the look on Nina’s face when she heard his answer she was truly worth seeing.

She opened her mouth wide to reveal her neatly lined teeth, expressing her surprise.

Of course, Nina was someone who understood exactly what Alberto meant.

Alberto has never given away limited edition desserts to others.

Alberto was the kind of person who, if there was a limited edition dessert, would rather buy two and give one to someone else rather than share his own

Alberto’s love for desserts was so special, how good would it be for someone like him to be able to share something he really likes with others?

In fact, as Alberto just said, even if he had a limited edition dessert in his hand, he seemed willing to give it away if someone asked for it.

To that extent, Alberto was truly happy to return to his hometown.

A smile began to form on Nina’s face as she saw her young lover, rejoicing in her return to her hometown.

‘First of all, I have to go back to my hometown. In this situation, you can’t become a knight of another noble.’

‘Will I live as Master Nina’s slave from now on? What is the life of a slave like?’

Of course, in this situation, only two people were in a very calm mood.

Those two people were Anna Lyudmila Semiltern and Seluna Emeraldia.

Anna voluntarily took off the uniform of the Imperial Knights due to her dishonorable actions.

She was not a proud imperial knight, but merely a wandering knight wandering the world without a master to serve.

‘Will I be able to go to other nobles and ask them to accept me as a knight despite my shame?’

Anna wondered who she would actually accept her.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she felt like there would be no one who could accept her.

If one were to look for the reason, it would be because she herself descended from the Imperial Knights.

The honor and material given to members of the Imperial Knights were incomparably greater than those received by knights of any other domain.

So, in most cases, there was no one in the Imperial Knights who disrobed themselves and became a free knight.

The only exception was the issue of title succession.

This was usually a case where there was no successor to the title other than members of the Imperial Knights, so there was no choice but to quit to inherit the family title.

This was because the knights of the Imperial Knights did not belong to any family and were assigned only to the imperial family in order to be free from political controversies.

In addition, it was difficult to enter the Imperial Knights to the extent that only people selected through recommendation and screening could qualify to become members, not because I wanted to join.

Therefore, it was a source of great pride to be active as a member of the Imperial Knights, and a knight serving as an Imperial Knight was a first-class groom.

From the moment of joining the Imperial Knights, commoners are given the status of nobles.

Of course, it is a temporary status that applies only to the person and to the children depending on conditions.

In that respect, Anna, who voluntarily disrobed herself and resigned from her position as vice-captain of the Imperial Knights despite not having to inherit the family her, became an object of recruitment avoided by other families.

This was because I had never seen a person who had done nothing wrong resign of his own accord.

Although she gave some explanation to the imperial court as to why she had taken off her imperial knightly uniform, that alone did not go far enough to free her from the suspicions of her nobles.

On the outside, she didn’t show any signs of rejecting Anna’s recruitment, but as she continued to postpone her recruitment date, she ended up rejecting it.

When this happened repeatedly, Anna had to give up on becoming a knight of another noble family.

She might have been able to endure it once or twice, but after being rejected more than ten times, she had given up on becoming a knight for another noble.

The head of the Semiltern family became her last support, saying, “If you want to come back, come back anytime.”

However, this actually hurt Anna even more.

From the beginning, she was proving that anyone who becomes a knight in her homeland has her own attachment to it.

However, as she wandered around, no one accepted her, so when she returned to her hometown, she was branded as a poor worker who could not be hired by anyone.

Otherwise, it was because they were not nobles who would leave a knight-level person alone.

However, Anna completely let go of her pride when she met Alberto.

Now that she was done with Alberto, she wanted to return to her hometown.

“Hey, you two?”

“Why are you crying, Sir Anna?”

Anna spoke to the two to return to her hometown, and Nina reacted first.

“It was an honor to be a part of this journey. Now I want to go back to her hometown.”

When Anna said she would return to her hometown, Alberto nodded.

“Please do so.”

It was a simple sentence to do so, but it had a lot of meaning.

What I meant was that since you and I don’t have anything embarrassing to worry about anymore that would make us blush, we should part ways quietly.

Anna bowed her head at Alberto’s words.

“Thank you. May your path ahead be filled with peace.”

She then expressed her gratitude to Alberto, blessed him on his way, and walked towards the path she had to leave.

Nina and Alberto, who were looking at Anna’s back her, soon walked towards the path they were supposed to take.

The three went to the County of Madern. One person is the Marquis of Semiltern.

So, each person took her steps towards her hometown.

◈

The three people, Alberto, Nina, and Seluna, purchased a carriage in a city near Brisraum.

“Are you looking to buy a carriage? “I have a carriage and a two-headed carriage. Which one would you like?”

“Just give me a regular carriage.”

“I understand.”

From noble mtl dot nete

The three people chose a carriage pulled by a single horse because their job was to manage and feed the horses.

Alberto fed the horses pulling the carriage herbs to keep them from getting tired during the long journey.

“Did you collect herbs to feed to horses?”

“Yes. It is not suitable for humans, because if horses eat this, they will not get tired even if they run for a long time. “I don’t necessarily feed it unless I’m going a long distance.”

It was Alberto who was stroking the horse while saying so.

The horse that was petted by Alberto purred and snorted as if it was happy.

Alberto climbed into the coachman’s seat, and Nina and Seluna rode in the back.

Originally, Seluna would have had to climb into the driver’s seat, but Alberto insisted that he would drive the carriage himself.

When Nina asked him why he did that, he answered like this.

“I have to be outside so I can respond quickly in case of emergency.”

Indeed, these were words that clearly revealed his pride as a sword master.

The horse that Alberto took the reins slowly began to pull the carriage forward.

Maybe it was because of the herbs we fed before leaving, but the horse rarely got tired.

They were three people heading to the County of Madern along the well-paved road.

In the process, he encountered highwaymen and bandits, but when Alberto took out his sword and created a fiery Auror blade, he ran away like a dog with its tail down.

Thanks to Alberto’s Auror Blade, Nina and Seluna were able to enjoy their journey to the County of Madern without incident.

About a week passed, and a wooden fence erected far away on the border of the County of Madern welcomed a carriage with three people in it.

“I’m finally back.”

Alberto Salihar Madern finally returned to his hometown

However, this was not the end, but only a signal signaling the beginning of a new crisis.

When Alberto reached the County of Meydern, a new crisis was brewing beyond the frontier.
