Battle Race in Romance Fantasy - Battle Race in Romance Fantasy chapter 269
269 – Wait, should I take care of this too?
To be honest, Leto’s mood has been really good lately.
First of all, Elgar’s advice was really effective.
Nell does not want to end as a knight, but wants to raise his family again.
That means you have to rejoin aristocratic society.
To do so, it is not just fame, merit, and money.
As a noble, he also needed basic knowledge.
In fact, this basic knowledge is just ‘basic’ in words, and it is incredibly vast.
Among nobles, if you make up your mind and try to drink water, you can even ask ridiculous questions.
Even if you can’t give an exact answer there, you should at least come up with something similar.
That’s why all that knowledge was too urgent for Nell.
I’m even entering as an attendant for the Imperial Knights during this winter vacation.
It is natural for Nell to feel urgent.
Leto dug right into that.
I am confident in all kinds of knowledge.
As the next vassal of the Grand Duchy of Littorio, it was only natural.
If you want to assist the Grand Duke in the future, you must know everything.
Leto strongly appealed to that part and succeeded in making time with Nell.
‘I was a bit uneasy because the personal time with Ian was too firm.’
Nell is already taking private swordsmanship lessons from Ian.
Without anyone else, just Nell alone.
A man and a woman doing something alone, facing each other?
If this is enough, there are frequent cases where even a relationship that was not there is involved.
Not to mention that Ian likes Nell, and Nell doesn’t hate Ian either.
In this way, the relationship between the two would become unbearably close.
For Leto, who couldn’t do anything about it, this was the best opportunity.
Even though it’s only a short period of time, less than a month before vacation.
In the meantime, I was able to make my relationship with Nell much closer and more intimate.
Ian’s behavior also showed that the effect was very good.
One day, he suddenly appeared with Kyle and said he wanted to take class with him.
That was the reason why he even showed himself to be absorbed in studies that he was not interested in.
It was a little uncomfortable, but at the same time it felt good.
Because he is a clear proof that he is doing very well.
If you keep going like this, if you fill in Nell’s lacking parts.
It should have been able to reverse this situation, which had widened the gap so much.
Yes. That was until I saw Ian and Nell just yesterday.
“Um.”
Before the closing ceremony, Elga keeps leaving her seat because she is so busy with work.
Thanks to that, Leto was able to spend the end of the semester comfortably.
And two days ago, she took Nell to a little party.
The ostensible reason was to introduce Nell to other nobles and young ladies.
The other reason was, of course, for the progress of the two.
It was good up to that point. Yeah, it was really good until there.
The expression on Nell’s face after receiving swordsmanship lessons from Ian the next day.
She was something Leto had never seen before.
“Miss Nell? Miss Nell?”
“Ah, ah. Yes. Sorry. I think I had other thoughts for a while.”
“Why is the person who always pays attention suddenly like this?”
“Sorry. Actually, the former master. So, Ian-nim’s swordsmanship is so great….”
The moment he heard Nell’s words, Leto involuntarily let out a sigh.
A fact I knew from the beginning. However, a fact that has been forgotten for a while.
In the end, the most important thing for Nell is his position as a knight.
With that, you can revive your own family and join a noble family.
In other words, if you don’t make your name known as a knight, you’re a noble and revival, and it’s impossible in the first place.
All the knowledge that Leto is teaching hard right now.
The prerequisite, that Nell must become a great knight, must be resolved.
‘In the end… Is it not okay?’
A bitter heart arose. A sense of bewilderment also raised his head subtly.
But I tried not to reveal it in the slightest.
If it’s Nell, he’ll definitely notice that and be very sorry.
‘I want to see Miss Nell happy. Yes, that’s it.’
Why are you helping Nell? I hope she will proudly return to being a member of her aristocracy.
It would be great if I could live happily ever after like that.
It would be better if the chief got help from him and recognized it.
But, even so. I can’t help this throbbing.
I was expecting a little bit. I wondered if there might be something called that.
As expected, could he not be able to surpass Ian in the end?
‘Actually, from Ian-sama’s point of view, I might have suddenly intervened.’
What if Ian couldn’t push Leto away because he considered Leto to be her friend?
Leto thought he was in the position he was in, so he couldn’t get the curtains.
When you think about it, it was only natural that Ian and Nell always stuck together.
Nell asked me to teach him swordsmanship. And Ian accepted it.
Since then, wherever Ian went, Nell always followed him.
Even though she didn’t know she was a woman yet, she was sure of it.
Even when Leto couldn’t move because he was busy with the work of the Grand Duchess.
The two of them visited John Nassen together and got through the tough times together.
They go through the same hardships, know and share the hardships of being a prosecutor.
Spent a lot of time and most of all, you probably know each other well.
From Leto’s point of view, of course she had no choice but to regard her as a stone she had rolled.
“Whoa….”
With a deep sigh, Leto trudged away from her.
I know I shouldn’t be like this, but it’s also very hard to not do anything.
“Brother Leto?”

Just like that, I was passing by the Humanities Hall of the academy.
A familiar voice from behind caught him on his feet.
“Ah… Holy Maiden.”
“What are you doing? Your shoulders are drooping.”
“Yes? Oh no. Nothing.”
Leto hurriedly shook his hands in denial.
So, the saintess is not? And tilted her head.
“Well, what are you doing at the Humanities Building all of a sudden?”
In case his true intentions were revealed, Leto quickly changed the subject.
“The test must be over, the lecture must have been finished, time is empty. Maybe that’s why the academy asked me to hold a prayer meeting for the students of the academy.”
“I see. You have suffered a lot.”
“It’s not over yet. Now, I have to go to the Magic Hall… He, should I go this way?”
I had heard through Elgar that the saintess was a formidable gilchi.
So Leto said she wasn’t there, and she said she would accompany him.
Her own heart is blue, but that’s a different matter.
The saintess standing in front of her now is a woman who will one day be in the same position as Elgar.
On the way to the Magic Hall, Leto sneakily brought up a topic for conversation.
“If you say prayer meeting, is the main thing to do?”
“Actually, prayer is not the main purpose. It can be said that the main purpose of the prayer meeting is to listen to the concerns of the students and give advice, even if it is insufficient.”
“I see.”
“Yes. Just like now.”
“Yes?”
“Just like now, listening to Brother Leto’s concerns.”
At the moment Leto tried to ask what the saintess was saying.
The saintess who clicked her tongue dragged Leto to the front of her fountain.
She and she slumped him down on the lawn in front of him and sat down beside him.
“Saint?”
“There are still more than 20 minutes until the prayer meeting time, Brother Leto. So, why don’t you stop worrying about me and be honest about your concerns now?”
Have you been caught, Leto muttered to himself.
Then he finally started talking as if he couldn’t help it.
The subject of concern was the same as what was already being done.
I like Nell. Ian’s position is already firmly established.
So instead of swordsmanship, I widened the gap and went in.
At first, it seemed to go well, so I felt very good.
In the end, Ian’s weapon, swordsmanship, could never win.
But I have no intention of blaming Ian. It shouldn’t be.
Because Leto was the one who intervened in the first place.
That’s why it’s even more confusing. More confusing
“… Embarrassingly, this is the situation.”
The saintess listened to Leto’s words and nodded her head.
Then she stares blankly at Leto and smiles.
“Brother Leto.”
“Yes, saintess.”
“How about trying again?”
“Yes?”
“Swordsmanship.”
Hearing the saintess’ words, Leto couldn’t hide his absurd expression for a moment.
Try swordsmanship again? Ian is already holding on tight.
And I don’t know what’s good about doing it again.
“You must be worried that you are less than Brother Ian.”
“… To be honest, yes.”
“Did Sister Nell ever say that Brother Leto’s swordsmanship was worse than Brother Ian’s?”
To the saintess’ question, Leto replied that he never did.
“But, saintess. Anyone can see that….”
“Sister Nell will need a mentor for the future, of course. But sometimes, in addition to a teacher who will go ahead and lead her, wouldn’t she need a friend to walk by her side?”
“Uh….”
“Brother Kyle once said something like this. People have awe and longing for someone else’s overwhelming, but they also have a sense of identity with someone similar to me. It is not always important to be further ahead than others. Rather, what makes it shine more than that is none other than ‘effort’.”
So, if Ian makes Nell happy as an overwhelming sword.
You give Nell her reassurance through relentless effort.
It’s not bad to let people know that I’m ready to walk out together.
The saintess laughed and said that.
“And then. Brother Leto. Don’t be sorry. Face it with confidence.”
“What are you saying….”
“This is what I am saying to Brother Ian. Dear Sister Nell, Brother Ian. Prove that you are the best man to match. So if you prove it, you will resign without regret, and if not, it will be an opportunity to prove that Brother Leto himself is better.”
So, don’t give up. Follow your brother’s heart.
The saintess gave Leto a gentle smile.
