Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem - Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem chapter 85

85 – The Sun and the Moon

…As I thought, there was a different intention. Of course, it wasn’t the emperor’s intention, but the innocent princess’ intention.

A little boy with pigtails as bright as the sun standing in front of his eyes. The first princess, Valeria Solar. She, too, was a character whose face was often reflected in the novel.

He was a cheeky little boy who used his omnipotent power to make fun of Lars whenever he visited the imperial palace, but when he returned full of scars, he was a character who sincerely worried and opened his heart.

Although she could not join the ranks of heroines because she had not yet entered the academy, she formed a relationship like a brother and sister to the two who were only children.

“What are you doing, get up right now and fight Sebas?”

Unlike the way she used to play around with fools and craps, she could not hide her mischievous eyes even while looking down with her arms folded in a lofty manner.

Perhaps she was polite in front of her father, the emperor, but the courtesy she showed us was nowhere to be found.

The emperor, who was sitting on the throne, opened his mouth and rested his chin.

“I was only going to send you a letter, but when I introduced you to my daughter and told her the secret stories about the Taurus family’s butler, she wanted to see me. I’ll ask for your understanding on behalf of her daughter.”

It’s called you, but it’s actually my story. Besides, if it’s a secret story, it must be the story of the butler. I wanted to send a 5700 word letter of anger to the butler.

“No. Little Sun, I would like to express my gratitude to Princess Valeria for her great interest. I will prepare immediately. Could you wait a bit? I have something to talk to him about.”

“Short end”

“Thank you.”

Her lady and I saluted her and retreated beyond their hearing. The first of us to speak was me, not the lady.

“If I hadn’t collapsed that day…I wouldn’t have had to come all this way…”

I had to grit my teeth and endure it that day. If that was the case, there would be no reason to come here after congratulating the ball on the spot. Even the young lady was involved in unnecessary work, and discomfort stabbed her in the chest.

But the young lady turned her head and let her smile fall.

“It’s okay. You didn’t collapse because you wanted to. It’s a place I’ll come to someday, but it’s my first time with you, so I don’t feel so bad. Rather…”

Looking at the place where the lady’s gaze went, she saw a knight who could not see her face as she pressed deeply to the visor of the helmet standing next to her in an immobilized posture.

“As long as the princess called after hearing those stories, it won’t be an ordinary knight.”

She nodded in agreement. Still, an interesting idea came to my mind.

“Rather than that, Sebas, it reminds me of our butler.”

“Why William?”

William, the name you often see when looking at the names of knights, and Sebas, the same name you see when looking at the names of the butlers. Seeing that the two of them had conflicting names, it came to mind. And.

“I’ve never seen such momentum except for the butler. No… I might be better than the butler…”

Even though there was no movement, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, overwhelmed by the momentum he embraced. There was not a single knight with that kind of momentum named Sebas in the novel.

I thought it might be the princess’s tasteless pseudonym.

“…It’s okay to lose, so please don’t get hurt.”

When I was told that I could be better than the butler, he pulled the sleeves of his clothes with an uneasy look.

“Sure, even if I collapsed, I didn’t get hurt in the competition. You’d think that it was a simple sparring, too.”

“Speak well, really.”

If he were an ordinary person, if he were a knight of the Empire, he wouldn’t show blood in this place that could be called the heart. Putting on his usual gloves from his pocket, he said to the young lady.

“Then, I’ll be back.”

The young lady nodded his head without saying a word and closed his eyes gently as she clasped his hands as if in prayer. He looked like he was praying to God to bless me and he couldn’t help but smile.

Looking ahead again, the knight walking slowly forward silently took out the sword from his waist, revealing an arming sword that was nothing unusual and could be used by soldiers.

Though it was an ordinary sword with a crude cross guard, pommel, and straight blade, it didn’t look ordinary at all when he was holding it.

As usual, he shakes his hands and takes a stance. Did I say that warriors talk with swords?

“Thank you very much.”

“…”

Aiming at me with a sword, the figure without movement or words could only say this to me. He seemed to be talking with a sword.

Except for the fact that the helmet was worn deep and the face was lowered to the visor, you couldn’t see it, it looked no different from an ordinary knight. He had a similar body to the other knights and even the sword he was using looked ordinary, but as he approached, it was hard to shake off the feeling of intimidation as he was suppressed by his momentum.

‘It’s like looking at a giant mountain from a distance.’

A mountain that looks ordinary from a distance, but a gigantic mountain that seems like you can feel its height as you get closer.

He couldn’t quite figure out how to approach the momentum, but he concentrated and swallowed dryly. He didn’t think he would be able to finish safely without getting hurt, which he had promised to the young lady.

Even so, I moved his body to move him who didn’t move at all.

He ran towards the small mountain at the fastest speed I could.

I was talking about the knife blade flying towards my neck with a blue light before the first move, like a farmer reaping ripe rice with a scythe.

I wonder how many plunders I got from swinging like that.

No, I was going to hit it up. Pulling out the sword that had been cut horizontally, he slashed his arm with the pommel at the end of the handle and changed the direction of his fist, then he bent down again to avoid the sword aiming at his neck again, and this time the sword struck like a carpenter chopping dry firewood. Flew over my head

I didn’t want to believe the situation in front of me that the sword I had slashed at my neck was over my head before I knew it, but if I didn’t believe it, it would split in two like firewood.

Can you counter with fists without dodging? That thought had been put aside. Even though it was obviously an ordinary arming sword, the sound of cutting through the air was sharper than that of the sword aura that Aklus smoked.

I dodged the axe-like sword by moving my body to the side. My face felt prickly from the speed at which my neck would fly away in the blink of an eye and the sword wind that flew past the sword’s trajectory.

After that, the sword flew in various trajectories. I tried to dodge the sword that was flying at my neck, at my arms, at my legs, at my torso, at my life.

There was no answer to blindly avoiding it. As if to say that if you aim for the momentary gap created by swinging your sword, you will not be allowed, your fists blocked in front of Pommel and the cross guard.

And the swordsmanship he showed was not a mystical swordsmanship like any secret skill.

It was neither the Kanker family’s swordsmanship, nor the Pios family’s unique swordsmanship, but the honest, upright, and flexible imperial swordsmanship known to anyone who wields a sword while stepping on the land of the empire.

His movements were mediocre, but their power and speed could not be ignored. How many times did he wield that motion to kill a person?

Even as a rule of thumb, the number of trees cut by a wielder would be greater than the number of rice plants a farmer cut in a year of good harvest, and more than the number of firewood split by a carpenter preparing firewood for the winter.

The sword he wielded naturally said that the accumulated supply and demand had become a giant, just like his momentum.

Can the hand that lived my short years stop that sword? He responded by extending his hand, which he had been contemplating on whether to write it on Aclus as well.

Now that I felt the threat to my life, there was no further escape. In order to satisfy the unprincipled princess, she swung at the fastest speed she hadn’t wielded while competing with the butler in order to block the sword of the harvester.

Taeng-

The subtle sound of the sword and the blade of my hand colliding made a fine sound, as if thin iron were being bounced. The sword he struck for the first time was lighter than he thought, but the sharpness hidden in that lightness was sharper than he thought.

“Whoa.”

A short and profound exclamation from within the helmet. The giant finally responded. Curiosity crept into the green eyes that could be seen through the close-up visor.

Responded to the trail of the sword flying backwards. A louder sound than the high-pitched sound he had made earlier echoed through the hall.

A sword like a scythe in the harvest season aimed at the throat was struck down, and a sword like an ax for chopping firewood spilled to the side. After that, he aimed for a large gap, but he couldn’t reach it because of the flying sword.

His sword became faster and sharper than before. The pain accumulated in his hand little by little, but he moved to the limit, wanting to reach even one place.

Looking at his hand, the eye figured out where the sword would move, and swung the blade in advance to block it before the power was exerted by the speed. Although it was flexible, it was possible because it was an imperial swordsmanship that honestly ran to the end where the trajectory was headed.

However, my movements became dull due to the accumulating pain.

People unconsciously adjust their movements so that they do not bump into the injured part. Like when he put on a new pair of shoes, he limped to keep his bare heel from touching the shoe.

The knight who did not miss that gap let out a rough breath and flew from his hand and sword toward my throat in a flash-like trajectory.

A speed so fast that the body can’t even react. It was literally a deadly move that contained his gigantic momentum in one sword.

“Stop!”

His sword came to a stop just one inch before reaching his neck. The emperor’s voice, which had stopped the sparring, was embarrassing. Like he didn’t know he was going to do it this far.

Pair, mate, mate.

“Very good.”

The sound of applause followed. When the princess approached me and her knight, applauding her with her gaze and tone of voice that she liked her, the knight drew her sword and knelt down to her, and I likewise knelt down to her. Kneel down.

“Sebas, no, it’s the first time I’ve seen General Albireo use that technique on someone else. Be proud of yourself, House Taurus butler.”

“…!”

I was surprised by what she said about his real identity, and I turned my head to the knight, no, to General Albireo. I couldn’t open my mouth to the fact that I was facing someone who had arrived at the end of the empire’s best sword, the emperor’s right arm, and the empire’s swordsmanship.

The general rose to his seat and took off his helmet to reveal his face, his gray, barely-remaining white hair, shiny head, and a thick beard that contrasted with it, showing traces of the past.

“Did you say Sirius?

General Albireo, wiping the sweat from his shiny hair, tried to shake hands, but withdrew his hand. Looking at the condition of my hand, it was as good as a bright red mop.

“That’s right… It’s amazing to fight with your hands, but is it okay to be hurt like that?”

“It’s better if you apply saliva.”

“Chuck. You’re a butler who is good at joking. The guy you called Will from before was no different than a spoiled brat.”

Did the butler fight with this person too? And what is this person so nice to do? When he took off his helmet, he was mesmerized as he watched the words pouring down like liquid water. I guess I was sad that I couldn’t tell you yet.

“Enough of the small talk, General Albireo. I have something to say to Sirius, so please step back.”

The princess who chased away Albireo, who had a cool smile on her face, smiled and said, “When did she grow cold?”

“Sirius. I’ll be honest. Come under me. I’ll treat you better than anyone else.”

…This pattern again? Just as he was about to let out a sigh, the lady came over and knelt down on one knee.

“I’m sorry, princess. He is a subordinate to the Taurus family. And… He is the most precious person to me. Please reconsider… I ask…”

A young lady who trembles as she speaks to the princess. She was about to open her mouth as she glanced at her, which she had seen when she drove Albireo off such a young lady.

“Valeria. Just as she said, he is subordinate to the Taurus family. It’s not a situation where we can talk about it, so stop fooling around.”

“…Yes, I will. I have seen his skill, so I will leave.”

I managed to change her mind after the emperor stopped me, who came before me. As she bowed her head in greeting to the emperor and retreated, the sound of her tongue clicking was faintly audible.

“…I’m sorry I misguided your daughter’s education.”

The brilliant sun of the empire looked dark today.

#

The emperor clicked his tongue as he looked at his bloody hands. She snapped her fingers as she called Sebas, General Albireo, and one of her maids held out a luxurious box to Sirius.

The maid opened the box before anyone could even open her mouth. Inside was a gray glove made of luxurious material.

“A gift to you. Gloves woven by the dwarfs with earth magic, woven from mountain roots, and embroidered with griffon beards. I’ve heard the name, but I can’t remember it, so call it whatever you like. And from now on, for our empire, rightly. Grow up and help Jim.”

“Thank you for your kindness!”

Cries of Sirius and Europa echoed through the hall. After that, the emperor left the hall for his business, and the attendance work of the imperial family was over for the two.

The way back to the academy by dragon carriage. Europa was bandaging Sirius’ rag-like hand.

“I told you not to get hurt even if you lose. Stupid.”

“I would have been more hurt if I hadn’t done this.”

“Uh huh. If you open your mouth, it’s a lie and an excuse.”

Sirius groaned as his hands were folded tightly as he pulled the bandage. He remained silent until his left hand was over.

“Okay, the other hand.”

Sirius obediently handed over his right hand. Her heart ached at the sight of a wound more serious than her left hand, and she closed her eyes for a moment to stop her tears from filling up, then bandaged her again.

“From now on, only wear the gloves your Majesty gave me. I don’t want to see you do this again. What would you do if you got scarred like this?”

“I can heal this level of iron and iron quickly… Rather than that, the lady earlier… What you told the princess…”

“…Just stay still.”

She had no excuses for her true feelings that she was precious, so she blocked her fundamentals. Her face was red and the force of the bandage wrapped around his hand was unusual, so she kept her mouth shut, but it didn’t stop her smile.

“Will you stay still?”

“Isn’t it still?”

“Keep your mouth still!”

Sirius avoids her trying to cover her mouth with her bandage. As her dragon carriage shook violently, she was told not to run amok, so Sirius, who had been still, blocked her mouth.

Meanwhile, Grapias, who had received Shaula’s letter, tilted his head at the brief content.

“Sirius is…A child of the moon?”

Even though it was unexpected information, her head was busy.

The Priests of the Moon who got lost along the way with Sirius. And moon child. The sudden outpouring of information about the moon in the Empire, where her data on the moon was lacking, confused her.

“Come to think of it, why is there so little data about the moon in the Empire? It’s like they’re trying to hide it… On purpose.”

Even her family, which was in charge of the empire’s information, had very few data about the moon. It was to the extent that there was a lot of information gathered from nobles in the periphery.

“I’ll have to look into it separately. Sirius, I was a bit uneasy about not having any of his past, but a child of the moon…That’s a mystery.”

Unaware of the fact that her aroused curiosity was strangling many people, she hurried to her archives.
