I Am a Low-Class Aristocrat of a Perishing Country - I Am a Low-Class Aristocrat of a Perishing Country chapter 44

44 – The end of the date (3)

Meanwhile, the situation in the imperial palace was busy.

In a space one floor lower than the emperor’s office, the leader’s office of the Nelfrugian Knights is spaciously located.

There, Bartlan Te Chester vigorously stirred his fan blades and wrapped his head with a sword.

“Oohhhhh!

Battlante recently faced a powerful foe that he did not dare to deal with. It was a banquet of piles of papers, perfect for being blocked and assassinated.

“Captain Justiha has personally seen the work of the family, so what kind of superhuman is this!”

He acknowledged the abilities of Irelpi during the duel with Netionpis. However, since he had never witnessed it himself, he did not think that he would be pushed back as a soldier.

That idea is about to change a little now.

“If I was able to carry out such a monstrous administration alone, the base stamina would be considerable! Today, too, I am realizing my foolishness again.”

At that time, the sound of Bolmen crept in from the side.

“Small Duke… No, Captain. Your voice is loud. Besides, the papers fly away because of the jealousy that leaks every time you admire it.”

“Keuhmm! I’m sorry.”

Bartlante apologizes for the man’s complaint.

The way he dared to push him, a minor duke of the Chester family and a reserve knight leader, was ambitious.

The man’s name is Isgal Linter. He was the newly selected sub-captain of the Nelf Lugia Knights.

“And Marquis Justiha’s miracle was witnessed by Manmin who were in the island that day. That is not a feat that humans can achieve.”

“Of course I heard it, but I have to be able to believe it. Who would easily accept a rumor that there is a crack in the sky?”

When Bartlante took over the position of captain of his knights, he often received terribly embarrassing news.

I doubted the qualifications of the Illelpi and even fought a duel, but the knights who heard the news that the leader was changing complained.

Even other knights!

“If you cross swords with your swords even once, you will feel it. How fortunate it is that Marquis Justiha is a sane and upright person.”

“Do you think you’ll be stronger than Marquis Alteon?”

In response to his question, the vice-captain responded with an amused expression.

“Marquis Alteon? Are you referring to an honorary marquis who used to be the royal physician?”

“Ummm. That’s right.”

“Even if the senator were a little stronger, would he be able to swing his sword properly? It’s a fluke if he inflicts scratches on an apprentice knight.”

“Oh, hahahaha, that’s right!”

Bartlante recognized the mistake and hurriedly evaded it.

At the time, the duel was conducted under the observation of the hearing attendees, and the result was kept secret by order of the emperor.

The vice-captain, who was a foreigner, shouldn’t know.

‘Whoa… It’s all because of the pile of documents. Every time I read the typeface, my mind goes into confusion.’

A spirit of fighting leaked from Bartlante’s green eyes.

Plenty of documents fluttering like paper airplanes immediately afterward.

Bartlante scratched his head shyly at the vice-captain’s complaint and embarked on a journey to pick up scattered documents.

◇

“It was a good store. The ability to make a name for itself in other countries was not false.”

“Hmmm. It was okay because there was something that suited my taste.”

I especially liked the scones and bread, which have a light taste.

Irelpi was full of energy as if happy to hear the satisfactory reviews.

“Haa, that’s nice. I’m not superstitious to think like this, but… Honestly, I really like it because I don’t work.”

“Even a god, not an emperor, would think of such a thing?”

“If Mirren is a bit older, I think it’s worth considering taking over the headship.”

‘Oh. Isn’t this Elfie too corrupt?’

Of course, it would be an honor for Mirren to assume the position of head of the household, but the motives are too impure.

The job of the head of household given by her older sister who wants to play as her unemployed. Wouldn’t she also decline Mirren?

“Well, just kidding.”

“Please stop making cheesy jokes…”

“Miren has gone through a long ordeal. I hope she chooses only what she wants to see and do from now on.”

“Who was talking about banning novels?”

“… As long as it doesn’t harm the culture. No matter how much, I was fired by my sister and what is it, I was fired!”

“That’s what I agree with as a Confucian family’s third leader.”

A vulgar word to an elder, even a blood relative!

I don’t know if it’s from Netion Peace.

“Were you one of the three greatest readers? But to be treated like this… My family must be sad.”

“Unfortunately, not in this world.”

“Ah!”

In an instant, a shadow fell on the face of LLP.

“I’m sorry… I couldn’t believe my parents weren’t around. I didn’t know they were already dead.”

“Eh, what’s the pad lip? It’s too hooked?”

“Yes?”

“No, no. That’s right. Yes. It’s sad.”

From noble mtl dot com

Please refrain from asking.

Sorry for getting rid of you two all of a sudden.

The three greatest readers of Confucian families.

‘Well, you’ll still be in the previous world, but… I completely forgot about it during the years I was trapped in the Great Void.’

I changed the topic to reverse the rapidly darkening atmosphere.

“Come to think of it, Ir Elfi. How are you? I haven’t heard anything about her family other than Mirren.”

“My parents and grandparents were all murdered. A year after I made my debut. That’s what happened when I was 17.”

“Turn it off…! I’m sorry, LLP. I brought out painful memories.”

“No.”

Irlp is answering casually as if he really doesn’t care.

She landed on the anti-tank mine confidently despite stepping on it.

Because of the guilt, it became difficult to look directly at the face of IrLP.

“Keuheum! Wouldn’t it be better to just look forward and live? We have Mirren.”

“Neffi, as I’ve emphasized again and again, I am Mirren’s blood relative.”

“Instead, since the mind is connected, it should be called mind and body.”

“Anyway, I can’t dry it…”

She shook her head. Every time she turns her head, the brushing of her hair tickles.

“So what do you think Chester’s little boy is like?”

“You mean the twins? They must have been Enella and Arnel. Why are those children suddenly appearing?”

“You know, little Arnell looks at Mirren sternly. I wonder what it’s like as her older sister.”

“Mmm.”

Ir Elfi held her chin and stared at her empty space, and she immediately finished her thoughts.

“I think it’s still premature. Nefi wanted someone who was stronger than me and outlived her, right? I agreed jokingly, but I was only half serious.”

“What? Am I the only one completely sincere…?”

It was a mind-blowing recollection, as if she had been beaten with a hammer. Ir Elfi let out a sigh, giving her a pathetic look.

“Apart from being stronger than me, there is no human in the world who can live for 500 years. Even if there is, I won’t allow a monster like that.”

“Ugh.”

Her heart ached at Ir Elfi’s harsh evaluation of a monster.

“However, she needs to have the trustworthy ability to protect Mirren for the rest of her life. Since we don’t know how Arnell will grow up, I’m telling her that it’s premature to judge her.”

She was unrepentantly exuding the features of her eldest daughter for her younger brother. It’s different from me who fell in love with Mirren simply because she was cute.

Is this truly affection for the sake of blood and kin?

“…Was it too much for me to pamper Mirren?”

“She’s overexaggerated. I have a feeling she might be toxic.”

“I see… I see.”

The top of her head feels a little chilled. I regained my sanity and confessed the truth I had been hiding.

“I did it because I was happy. I thought how nice it would be if I had a younger sister like Mirren.”

“I know.”

“So I must have been paying attention to it like a palbulchul without realizing it. Every time I did that, it really felt like I had a family.”

Ah.

Because I admit it honestly, I know even if I don’t like it.

I prided myself on adapting well, but in fact I was very lonely.

I wanted stability in a completely different world without parents, siblings, or friends.

Maybe that’s why he projected Mirren’s missing sister and found comfort.

“It’s embarrassing. Very much.”

He smiled shyly. Then she kindly met her eyes and quietly opened her mouth.

“Neffi, don’t get me wrong.”

“Misunderstanding?”

“It would be a shame if me or Mirren were offended by Nefi’s attitude. But we have no regrets about Nefi. Quite the opposite.”

“…”

“She’s always grateful. Mirren often looks forward to the day she sees Nefi. So stop belittling herself.”

“Irelp…”

No big deal. It’s just a word that should be conveyed as a ritual, but why is Lee Ji-ji making his heart cry.

“But if you think Mirren will feel burdened.”

The corners of her mouth drew an arc.

“Neffi’s passionate interest, can you share it with me?”

“Irelp, what is that…”

Irelf turned his back on me as I tried to ask back and looked at the mountain in the distance.

She was a casually concealed woman at first glance, but she chattered about her intentions, which her reddened ears held tight.

I couldn’t help but stare at the IrLP in a state of infatuation.

“oooh, don’t look this way. I’m ashamed to say that.”

“Yes…”

An awkward silence tickled her whole body. It was a silence that could not distinguish whether it was her whole life or a moment.

‘No matter how ignorant I am, I have no choice but to notice!’

The path she had walked so far was played cinematically in her head.

The first thing that came to my mind was the outing where she wore a wedding dress.

Significant attitude that he complained about insignificant things and was only resolved after Mirren directed traffic.

The second night she slept holding her hand followed. It was a night that showed a completely opposite side to the usual Illelpy.

Even if it’s a benefactor who has done a great favor, it doesn’t make sense to have a bed together.

In the same vein as her, Dawn, who fell asleep with her in her arms, was played for the third time.

She asked for her side because she wanted to remember her dream. She was Ir Elfi Youth like no one else.

She was an intimidating female knight who would not recklessly give her side.

“Irelf. If I’m not mistaken, what I just said…”

Just as I was trying to convince myself, Ir Elfi’s desperate cry cut her off.

“Neffi, wait! Wait… Please. Don’t say anything yet. Please. Today’s day. I’ll make it right when the day is over.”

It looked like he would burst into tears if he kept pushing. I involuntarily agreed and kept my mouth shut.

“Okay.”

“Thank you. I mean it, Nefi.”

“Hmm…”

“”…””

In an instant, her normal conversation with her became impossible.

There’s no way that’s possible.

Irfi’s small gesture distracted her from all sorts of distracting thoughts.

At the same time, I was afraid of our relationship, which would be quite different from today.

‘I… I’ll…’

The time of choice is suddenly approaching.

All day long, I had no choice but to be swayed by my inner thoughts that raged like a typhoon.

Or hope that a typhoon will break the surface covered in your heart like hardened soil.

We carried on a conversation that didn’t mesh like a metronome with a twisted tempo.

Until the red sunset hides our long-cooked faces.

◇

Around the time the sun had set and the pale moon took its place.

There were two men and women who broke through the darkness that permeated their vision and entered a certain mansion.

Their identities are me and Illelpi. It was a duo who lost their minds after a day of hard work.

“I have arrived.”

“We have arrived.”

“”…””

Silence combined as if it was a promise.

I mustered up the courage to ask.

“IrLP. What do you want to show me?”

The mansion we arrived at was none other than the Marquis of Justiha.

It was right to split up and go home after the original outing. However, Ir Elfi wanted to show me something, so I was invited back to the mansion.

Ir Elfie opened her mouth that had been tightly closed.

“I’m nervous to show it to you. I think Neffi might not like it. But… It can’t be helped. Yes, that’s right. It can’t be helped.”

“I don’t know what it is, but rest assured I won’t be disappointed.”

“Are you sure you received Nefi’s words?”

I was confident that I could manage my expression even if I had to look at the standard history books of the Justiha family.

She met my low gaze and held my hand.

‘Huh.’

Originally, her touch had enough magical power to steal her consciousness. Needless to say now that her mind was guessing.

The inability to suppress the pounding heart for no reason was one of the worst.

“From now on, I will show you a place that no one knows except me. Not only the servants, but also Mirren doesn’t know.”

“Is it okay if you take me to a place like that?”

“I can’t help it. It’s a space that was originally created with that intention.”

“That kind of intention?”

“You’ll find out soon. Don’t worry, it won’t harm Neffi.”

Gulp.

For some reason, a feeling of tension ran down her spine. Was it because she was planning to set foot in the sanctuary of the Justiha family?

That’s right. No doubt it will.

“Is this… A warehouse?”

“Not your average warehouse.”

Ir-Elfi made her way through the dusty objects.

She immediately stopped in front of her large dresser and pushed her dresser to sweep her floor.

When the floor covered by the closet was exposed, the unnaturally thin and small hole created a sense of incongruity.

Ir Elfi took her key out of her uniform pocket and pryed it through her hole.

Click!

It was the sound of a key hitting the floor.

Ki-i-i-i-i-i-i…

Soon, the floor opened into a square model barely fit for one person.

“Don’t miss it and follow me.”

“Yeah. But it’s a bit scary.”

“Neffi is quite timid.”

“Ugh, is that normal?”

The entrance was filled with darkness as if the deep sea had been boiled down. The chill that flowed from there carried an unknown chill.

Once again. Again.

At the end of the stairs, which were longer than expected, there was a thick iron door blocking the inside.

The moment IrLP opened the iron door without difficulty, I almost vomited from the disgust of the war.

“Oops…”

“Neffi? I’m sorry. It smells bad, doesn’t it?”

“Keuk, it’s not just a bad level.”

Although my sense of smell is sensitive, it was a terrible smell that even a normal person’s body could not handle.

‘The smell of rotting meat in the blood… And the smell of rusty iron? What the hell is this place!’

For now, I decided to follow the guidance of Ir Elfi. It’s not like she was going to show off such an awkward place for no reason.

“This is good. Come here, Nefi.”

“Oh, yes. As expected, this kind of atmosphere is scary.”

“Is that so? That’s heartbreaking.”

“Take a look if you know…”

While grumbling, I eventually entered the place where the ELP was located.

‘It’s probably not enough to say that it’s bland.’

A narrow space surrounded by iron walls on three sides on a cold iron floor.

The only way to see the outside scenery was through a small rectangular passage. Even that is nothing more than a hideous entrance with iron bars stuck in it.

“So, what’s in here?”

“Nothing.”

“What?”

It was then.

Wow!

“This, Illelpi!? You’re this…!”

She was breathless and embarrassed at the act of holding Ir Elfi. She buried her face in her chest and whispered seductively.

“Because I don’t procrastinate when I set my mind to it.”

“What do you mean?”

She responded to the questions that made her anxious and anxious.

“Nefi, I really enjoyed today. How was Nefi?”

I decided to set the rhythm for now.

“Me too. Playing together isn’t bad either.”

“Isn’t it? Huhu.”

“… Ill Elp.”

“Yes?”

“Something seems to have changed. Your attitude has been strange lately…”

“Hmm, did you feel that way?”

“I apologize if not.”

“No, not at all. Actually, I’ve changed a lot. My mind before was like a blank sheet of paper, to the point I can’t remember anything!”

“How much?”

“Yes! Can you guess who it is?”

“It must be Mirren.”

“Of course Mirren is precious, but that’s not the answer.”

“Then…”

It’s hard.

The power of Illelfi’s embrace grew stronger as if it were being squeezed.

“All… All…”

“Irlp?”

“Neffi changed everything. My future, my heart, my everything.”

“You, you! What does that mean!?”

“Neffi.”

She wanted to hear the truth this time, but she cut her off mercilessly.

“… Yes.”

“You lied, didn’t you?”

“Are you lying?”

“It’s not bad to play together… Of course, Nefi didn’t mean to lie, but that’s not true, is it?”

Creepy.

“Who else?”

“Netion Peace. An evil villain still exists with us.”

“That can’t be helped.”

“That’s right. Nefi can’t help it. I know that. So I’ve decided. This time, I’ve decided to help Nephi.”

Her unfocused eyes and her lack of luster, her cynicism glared at her.

“… Irlp? What are you trying to do?”

“Wait just a moment. I will lead the villain to ruin. But… I don’t know how it will turn out, so please understand?”

Immediately after, she memorized her familiar incantation.

“Holy Memory.”

Cheol Greok! Cheolguk!

At that moment, a blue, translucent chain appeared out of her air, binding her limbs and pinning her to the wall.

Quang!

‘Big!? Chain-shaped guardian ability transformation… It’s the first time I’ve seen it!’

Having subdued her body with her number of days, I lifted her head and appealed to her with her puzzled and young eyes.

“Irelp! Are you kidding me like this…?!”

But my words couldn’t follow. It’s because I was paying attention to the impossible phenomenon and clenched my teeth.

Shaaa…

A jet black aura crawled out of her surroundings.

‘Nonsense. Why… Is there a scam going on with Illelpi? Could it be that I resonated with IrLP’s scam last night and my morale ran amok? No, it doesn’t make sense to say that there is a fraud in Illelpi!’

In one breath, dozens of reasoning came to mind and was erased. It was a sense that his ability to think was diminished in a situation that he could not understand no matter how much he agonized over it.

She arbitrarily declared her claim, tinged with her good intentions, as if not perceiving any strangeness.

“Neffi doesn’t have to worry about anything. Leave everything to me. It’s my turn to save Nephi!”

Ir Elfi sneered as he swept away her bound limbs.

The surface of the contradictory blue lake where evil and love coexist was calm.

After a while, the ink-colored energy that had been floating around her outside air shyly disappeared.

Turning her back to the cold wall, she smiled timidly.
