070 – Birthday Party (1)

Tigris likes dawn the most.

For that brief moment, when the morning bird is asleep and the nights now begin to fall asleep, was an irreplaceable time for quiet meditation.

Tigris drew his sword and took a pause.

And closed my eyes.

Just as Tigris’ clothes and hair were soaked in the morning dew, Tigris soaked in his inner self.

The fragrant scent of grass had disappeared, and the smell of battlefield mixed with the smell of dust and blood tickled the tip of Tigris’ nose.

final war.

The horrors of the last hellish war unfolded before my eyes.

Tigris was standing alone in the middle of a hill full of red flesh that could not be found even if he looked up, down, left, and right.

Just like that day, Tigris’ stomach began to bleed.

The blood from the stomach dyed the lower body red, and the breath was sharp.

It was difficult just to stand, drenched in terrible pain, and wanted to kneel right away.

But Tigris did not kneel.

Tigris had no right to rest on his knees.

Wherever Tigris’ gaze reached, a face covered in blood was seen.

Rain Rover, Charlotte, Irene, Beowulf, Bergan, Bastian, Linia, Gordon, Horn, Logan, Nemesis, Maleus, Lenny, Tom…

Their eyes were lifeless, but they were all staring at Tigris.

Tigris did not dare look into their eyes, so he avoided their gaze and looked up at the sky.

The sky was filled with a gloomy gray gray.

Red rain fell in the sky.

His whole body was soaked wet and heavy.

Tigris did not deny this heaviness.

It was because this guilt and this heaviness that weighed on his heart were the restraints that suppressed Tigris’s seething desire.

Tigris wanted to head to the kingdom of Gillion right now.

There are Prince Matthew and King James.

Because they became puppets of Lota and Arfem, ravaging the jungle and declaring war on the Empire.

Tigris wanted to run to annihilation right away.

Currently, Rota is asleep in the extinction.

I don’t know exactly where it is, but I wanted to find Rota who was sleeping and cut her throat to death right now.

Tigris wanted to go to the Godiva Desert.

In the Godiva Desert, Rota’s hands and feet were digging labyrinths, ruins, and dungeons to create bizarre chimeras.

However, Tigris bound himself by locking the shackles made of blood.

There were several reasons.

They were also difficult to kill at the level of Tigris now.

Even if they killed them, unnecessary sacrifices could have occurred by raising their vigilance.

There was also a point that I didn’t know about Uno yet.

The main reason was that the damage was greater than the gain of moving according to Tigris’ temperament.

Tigris mustered up his courage again and looked at the terrible devastation.

In order not to see this bloody and terrible battlefield in real life.

tweet-

The morning birds chirping tickled my ears.

Tigris opened his eyes.

His whole body was drenched with sweat.

Tigris took a deep breath and exhaled.

He thought about wielding a sword, but Tigris took it.

Because Tigris had to learn not to use the sword rather than to use it.

Tigris put the sword into its sheath.

“Tigris-sama, here are the towels.”

Tigris took the towel Lenny gave him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Thank you. Did Linia wake up?”

“yes. Even Trisha has woken up.”

Tigris realized that Victorie’s morning was too bright.

I did not know how many hours I had stood and meditated.

“What time is it now?”

“It’s 8:05 am.”

“Is it that time already?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

As I meditated alone for a long time, it seemed that I did not notice the passage of time.

Tigris said, handed Lenny a towel soaked in sweat.

“Then I should eat right away.”

“I will prepare.”

Tigris took off her shoes, changed into slippers, and entered the living room.

Stop.

Tigris was going to the bathroom, but stopped when he saw the clothes of the four people, including Trisha.

The four men were wearing the same light yellow tracksuit, top and bottom.

Trisha said with a bright smile.

“good morning! Tigris-sama!”

“Do you have your clothes matched?”

Trisha nodded her head with a triumphant expression on her face.

“yes. how about it? The design and color are all pretty good, right?”

Trisha got up from the sofa and turned around.

Chick-shaped embroidery was placed on the back to match the pale yellow color.

She must have been really ashamed of that appearance, so Linia’s face was full! It turned red like it was going to explode.

From the looks of it, he seems very shy, but he seemed to be on the vague borderline that he didn’t like.

“I don’t know.”

“Isn’t it cute like a chick? Oh, I bought Tigris-sama too, so please wash and change.”

Tigris got goosebumps for a moment.

“Did you buy my clothes too?”

“I think Tigris-sama would be lonely if we wore it alone. Oh, Lenny and Karen can’t normally wear tracksuits, so we bought aprons from the same brand.”

Tigris looked at Lenny’s apron.

I thought it was a plain black apron, but there was a small pale yellow chick embroidery on the end of the apron.

Lenny looked at Tigris and scratched his cheek.

He seemed worried that he would be asked to take it off immediately.

“It’s a gift, so you must wear it.”

Trisha looked at Tigris with great anticipation.

Tigris mercilessly trampled on Trisha’s expectations.

“Refund it.”

“It’s so sweet!”

* * *

Tigris ate breakfast wearing a plain white cotton tee.

Trisha didn’t have any complaints either, because she thought Tigris wouldn’t be able to wear it.

I bought it just in case I wanted to wear it, so it didn’t mean much.

“Wow, this is really delicious. Who made this rye bread? Maybe Lenny?”

Lenny said with a laugh.

“yes. Right. Oh, that strawberry jam was made by Karen.”

“Wow, the strawberry jam tastes a little different. It goes perfectly with this rye bread.”

“thank you. eat a lot.”

Only one person came in, but the atmosphere in the penthouse changed drastically.

Has it changed in a very lively way?

Trisha was playing the role of a mood maker.

Thanks to that, the expressions of Charlotte, Irene, and Linia were also very bright.

‘It seems to have been shaken off.’

Up until yesterday morning, the dead bodyguards had submerged me, but now all three are not so bad.

The funeral is a week at most.

In the meantime, you need to clear your mind and return to your daily life to live the future.

In particular, these three people needed to quickly return to their normal condition because they had to be the main characters who would lead the empire in the future.

‘It seems that Trisha played a big role.’

Apparently, accepting Trisha as a knight seemed like a very good choice for Tigris personally and for these three people.

After the meal was over, the tea came out, and Tigris opened his mouth.

“Does anyone have plans for next Wednesday?”

The four, including Trisha, shook their heads.

“no. I don’t have anything. What are you doing this for?”

“Next Wednesday is the day of Princess Rain Rover’s birthday party. Princess Rain Rover sent an invitation.”

“Birthday party? Have we been invited too?”

“Yes. Charlotte, Linia, and Irene You haven’t been knighted yet, so you should just wear regular dresses. And Trisha.”

At Tigris’ serious gaze, Trisha changed her posture and sat down.

“yes. Please speak.”

“The appointment of knights will be abbreviated this Saturday. You will not receive a wolf sword because you are not becoming a black wolf, and you will receive the sword I bestow. Did you understand?”

“ah. Yes, I understand.”

“I will prepare the knight’s uniform separately, so wear it and go to the party. And so that I can learn the royal court etiquette by this Friday.”

Trisha’s eyes widened.

“yes?! Imperial court etiquette?”

“Jane will tell you about the royal court etiquette”

“No, I think it would be a bit unreasonable to tell them to learn the complicated etiquette in a week.”

“If you don’t learn it, you can’t attend the party. You are no longer an adventurer, but a knight.”

Trisha furrowed her eyebrows.

This party is important for Trisha.

The princess’s birthday party is attended by high-ranking nobles from all over the kingdom.

Of course, the information they were talking about was full of high-quality information that could not be obtained from ordinary people, so ‘Liber’ was able to obtain quite useful information.

“I’ll try it once.”

“Then I know you will be there. And you have about a month left before your sword can be repaired?”

“Oh, yes. Right.”

“Is it unreasonable to get the Ring of Mourning that I mentioned before without that sword?”

“Well······. It is possible to break it, but I think it would be a little dangerous to go outside without those swords.”

The difficulty level of the dungeon where you can get the Ring of Mourning is medium to high, which is not too difficult for Trisha.

But the real danger was the people.

As the location of the Ring of Mourning is on the cliff where the serpent that borders the Kingdom of Gillion passed, when the Kingdom of Gillion realized that Trisha was near the border area, they could send knights, wizards, or special forces instead of assassins.

Tigris tapped the table with his index finger.

“The schedule is a little tight.”

“Still, as I said before, it is possible until mid-August.”

“Then let’s leave as soon as the sword is fixed. But keep in mind that the schedule can be flexible.”

“Yes. All right.”

Trisha decided to quickly brush up on the chunky uncle.

“And as soon as the ceremony is over, I will give you red manacho so that we can make another ring.”

“You have red manacho? how?!”

“I have received something from His Majesty the Emperor before. So, until then, take good care of your condition.”

“Oh my gosh······.”

Surprised not only Trisha, but Charlotte too.

If Trisha became a six-star knight, she would become a knight on the same level as Charlotte’s father, Logan.

“········But can I take real red manacho? Can you believe me like this that it’s been a few days since you met me?”

“So you don’t want to take it?”

“no! no! It’s not like that…”

“Then take it without saying anything. You have a long way to go.”

Trisha was not a talent who would end up with a six-star knight.

Beyond that, I had to become a sword master.

It would be more difficult for Trisha to become a sword master than to become a six-star knight.

You can tell just by looking at Logan and Beowulf, who have been staying as 6-star knights for 10 years because they can’t get the ‘inspiration’ to become the current sword master.

Inspiration is the realm of pure talent, so it didn’t really make sense for Tigris to awaken Trisha’s inspiration.

In a word, it was like a flower blooming on a dry branch.

However, it is not known what kind of stimulus Trisha received from the outside, but even if it was not a flower, it was a ‘bud’.

All Tigris could do was water and keep stimulating Trisha so that the flower of inspiration could bloom.

To do this, it was important to adapt to the added ring as soon as possible, even one day.

Trisha looked at Tigris with a moved look.

“··········I will return that pale yellow sweatshirt and return it.”

“·················ogue.”

A week later.

The Palace of Spring was more lively at night than usual.

It was because Princess Rain Rover’s birthday party was going on.

The banquet hall in the Palace of Spring resounded with elegant strings, and heads of all walks of life and their children gathered and chatted with each other.

What is the princess, the main character of this party, doing now?

Standing right in the center of the banquet hall, he was receiving gifts with greetings from approaching guests.

“Happy birthday to the princess.”

“Thank you for coming. Viscount Michelan.”

“You seem to be getting more and more beautiful every day.”

“thank you. By the way, can’t you see Maria? I wanted to see how big Maria was.”

“ah······. ahaha. Maria couldn’t come because she had an upset stomach. sorry.”

“What do you have to be sorry for? It’s only natural to take a break when you’re sick.”

Rain Rover smiled brightly as they greeted each other, but their insides were rotting.

Viscount Michelan.

As the head of the Michelan family, which borders the Kingdom of Gillion, he was the first traitor to open the gates when the Kingdom of Gillion declared war on the Empire.

Others said that it was an inevitable choice to save the people, but if he were such a person, he would not have given the people a sloppy spear and sent them to the battlefield.

And the reason that Viscount Michelan’s daughter Maria couldn’t come was not because she had a stomachache, but because Count Vista of Gillion, whom she had an in-law relationship with, had noticed.

“Ah, I’ve been holding on to the princess for too long. I didn’t notice. Then I’ll just leave.”

“yes. Please enjoy the party.”

Viscount Michelan kissed the back of the Rain Rover’s hand and stepped back.

Rain Rover wiped the back of his hand with a handkerchief when he couldn’t see Michelan.

And looking at her eyes, she saw the nobles approaching the princess.

These were the people in the directory of Tigris.

Most of them were like leeches who betrayed the Empire and stuck to Lota and Arphem’s clan.

Rain Rover never dreamed that there were so many traitors in the Empire.

They say it is for the sake of protecting the people and for the survival of the family, but they are all just traitors who betrayed for their own sake.

The fact that Rain Rover had to laugh at those future traitors was just too choking.

‘I just want to get rid of them all.’

How ironic that the main character of the birthday party that should be the happiest has to be unhappy?

I really wanted to get out of this place because it was good even for just one moment.

And ripped off this tight-fitting dress.

Then, a group entered the banquet hall.

These were Tigris, Charlotte, Irene, Linia and Trisha.

– Oh my God… Sir Tigris.

– It’s the first time I’ve actually seen Lord Tigris.

– You know I never really go to a party like this, right?

Tigris went straight to the princess.

Countless nobles were blocking the way, but when they met Tigris’s eyes, they were startled and cleared the way.

He proudly walked down the road in the middle of the banquet hall and bowed his head in front of the princess to show the proper manners for the banquet hall.

“Tigris di Norverd, I offer my greetings to His Majesty the Princess.”

Following this, Linia, Charlotte, Irene, and Trisha also gave formal examples.

The Rain Rover felt like it was out of breath.

The fact that there was only one person who could fully understand his grievances gave me so much reassurance.

“Thank you so much for coming. Sir Tigris.”

“no. Her Majesty the Princess.”

The princess and Tigris met each other’s eyes.

Tigris immediately noticed what the princess was thinking.

This banquet hall was a microcosm of the present empire.

People who died while defending the Empire until the end, those who had already betrayed the Empire, and even those who would betray the Empire if given the chance were mixed, drinking and chatting with each other.

This irony will make you vomit.

“I am sorry, Princess, but I have something to tell you. Could you give me five minutes of your time?”

It is against the rules for the main character of a birthday party to leave the banquet hall while guests are in full swing.

However, Rain Rover’s expression looked close.

Tigris looked silently at the chieftain behind the princess.

The chieftain swallowed his saliva and said.

“yes. If it’s five minutes…”

* * *

Tigris escorted the princess and headed for the drawing room set aside in the banquet hall.

When the chieftain tried to follow in, Tigris blocked the door.

“This is a very important story, so I would appreciate it if you could leave your seat for a while.”

“······All right.”

According to the words of the hero of the emperor who was not anyone else, the chief servant had no choice but to be content with waiting at the door.

When the drawing room door closed and Rain Rover and the two of them were left alone, Rain Rover sat down on the long sofa.

His unique smile was also erased and his posture was disturbed.

The princess smiled as if she was really going to live.

It wasn’t a made-up smile, it was a genuine smile.

“thanks. Sir Tigris. I almost died of suffocation.”

“You suffered.”

“Today, Sir Tigris is very respectful. How did you endure seeing the pretentious faces of those people… I’m still sick to my stomach.”

Tigris poured the bottled water in the drawing room to the princess.

“By the way, I heard that you sang a troupe today.”

“yes. You promised before. Let’s see a play together. I have a seat right next to me, so you have to sit right next to me.”

“·················ogue.”

Rain Rover tilted his head when Tigris was silent.

“Why? Sir Tigris.”

“I have one thing to tell you.”

“Why are you so anxious?”

Tigris hesitated whether to say this or not, and finally opened his mouth.

“There will be Rakan in that play. So I hope you are not too surprised.”

“Yeah?! Why is Rakan suddenly appearing? Maybe it’s the Inquisitor’s mission…”

“no. Not like that.”

Tigris said while holding his flabby forehead.

“Because of Rakan’s quest.”
