Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid chapter 49

49 – 13. Etenberg (2)

“… .”

As she and Adele walk into the banquet hall.

Shien kept glancing at him sideways.

Adele quietly came out wearing the clothes she told her to wear.

It wasn’t the outfit she always wore, but the fancy dress.

To be honest, I can’t say I have no selfishness at all.

I would like to wear something other than a uniform or training uniform.

There was no plausible justification for doing so.

Just then, a banquet was held, and Adele was her escort.

If so, you can dress him up differently just because you’re taking him to the banquet hall.

Adele would also agree without thinking about the reason.

“Shin-nim.”

“Eh, eh?”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Oh no? Don’t you?”

“Is that so? I thought you were trying to say something because you kept looking at me.”

Adele said that and continued walking.

Shien, who was walking side by side, thought about it for a while.

I decided to take out the words that had been lingering in my mouth for a while.

“… It suits you well.”

“yes?”

“It suits you well. those clothes.”

“ah… thank you.”

“It’s nice. What it looks like now.”

“Since it’s the clothes Xien-nim chose for you, of course it is, right?”

Well, maybe it’s because of the clothes.

They say that no matter how good clothes are, they need good hangers to hold their shape.

The words lingered in Xian’s mouth.

“Lichtenauer is coming.”

The person waiting outside the banquet hall opens his mouth wide.

And when the door opened, the dazzling banquet hall greeted the two.

Of course, it would be a little less flashy than the imperial banquet.

It was incomparable to the banquets of some noble families.

Not only the size of the banquet hall, but also the construction method and the decorations.

Even the drinks they served were extremely expensive.

“Welcome, go to Lichtenau.”

“Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Etenberg.”

The head of the Zenhow Etenberg family greets Shien, who has just entered the banquet hall.

He said that he had someone to guide him and introduce him.

“Baby. Say hello. He is the head of Lichtenauer, the renowned guardian of the north and master of swordsmanship.”

“Nice to meet you, Lord Lichtenauer.”

A young man bowing his head and bowing.

It wasn’t long before Shien knew who he was.

The reason was the face that was strangely similar to the family head of Etenberg.

“You seem to be a self-restraint.”

“you’re right. He is my second son. Unlike my oldest brother, he said he wanted to become a knight and is training hard with his sword.”

At the words of the Etenberg family head, Shien nodded.

I think I know if there is someone who wants to introduce himself.

“It’s Sien Lichtenauer.”

“This is Peten Etenberg! It is truly an honor to meet you in person.”

“It was an honor. He is still a family head with many shortcomings.”

“Even if there are shortcomings, he said there is no need to be disappointed. There is no perfection in the world, so there is effort. You said so.”

“Someone said that… .”

“These are the words the former Lord Lichtenauer gave me.”

At those words, Shien unknowingly said “Oh” and sighed.

Now, rather than sadness, the nostalgic memories are stronger.

Still, whenever I heard the story of my father, a part of my heart felt cold.

“Peten.”

The family head of Ettenberg warned her, as if she had noticed the change in Shien.

And whether Petten also noticed his mistake.

I cover my mouth and hurriedly lower my head.

“ah… Sin, sorry. I made a mistake… .”

“no. It’s nothing to apologize for. Rather, I am proud of the fact that the former head of the family recognized the great knight and gave him advice.”

Cien answers with a slight smile.

A red blush appears on Peten’s face.

“It looks like you’ve met the previous head of household, my father.”

“Ah, yes. I saw you once when I was young. It was then that I dreamed of becoming a knight.”

“is that so? Fiore was right next to me, wasn’t it then?”

“that is… .”

Peten didn’t open his mouth but suddenly looked at his father.

It is an open fact that the relationship between Ettenberg and Fiore is good.

In that situation, I was afraid that I might make a mistake.

“… .”

However, the head of the Etenberg family only shrugged once.

If you have something you want to say, it means do it yourself.

At that, Peten took on a more worried expression for a moment before opening his mouth.

“It is true. What I imagined and Fiore’s sword… It’s just a little bit different.”

“It is different.”

“yes. The sword I thought was drawn to protect it was such a noble thing, but in Fiore, rather than that kind of feeling… Well, it felt a bit sharp.”

At those words, Shien almost laughed without even realizing it.

I promised myself that I wouldn’t do childish provocations like Etria’s.

Listening to Fiore’s bad comments right in front of you like this.

I couldn’t help but feel strangely better.

“Hey, Lord Lichtenau. Can I ask you just one question?”

“yes. tell me.”

“You are next to me… Who is the person in the party… .”

Saying that, Peten’s face was full of the energy to notice.

From nob le mt l. co m

Maybe it was because he was the son of an aristocratic family he didn’t know about.

The atmosphere it gives off and the appearance that immediately catches your eye are all like a high-ranking aristocrat.

“ah… .”

Certainly, it deserves such a misunderstanding.

People I know only think of Adele as an escort.

A person who does not know will not consider him an escort when he wakes from death.

“no. something like that.”

“If not… .”

“This is my escort. Prince Peten.”

“Ahhh?”

Petten looks at Shien and Adele alternately with a puzzled look.

It’s impossible for Shien to lie or play pranks.

No matter how many times I look at it, I want to find an escort like that.

‘No matter how you look at it… It seems like a nobleman’s son… .’

It’s not that I’m overconfident about my appearance.

Still, Petten thought he was above average.

However, standing in front of that man named Howie, I just felt like I was shrinking.

“nice to see you. My name is Adele, who is in charge of escorting Shien-nim.”

“Adele… uh, wait a minute. Maybe that Adele? At the imperial banquet?”

I couldn’t even imagine that they were the same person.

Do you reveal your name? and bewildered

I could never have imagined that that fine-looking young man would defeat the senior knight of Fiore.

“Are you sure, Lord Lichtenau? Is that young man really the knight who defeated Lord Geon of Fiore?”

“To be precise, it is not yet an official article. I am a trainee knight, that is, a servant.”

Nonsense! The words lingered in Peten’s mouth.

In terms of level and experience, the senior engineer is several times higher.

Even the variable called luck can’t be helped.

However, the fact that such an attendant literally smashed the senior knight was also the case.

Even the appearance that seems to be able to take one more drink and captivate the hearts of the young ladies.

This is so surprising that it makes me feel unfair.

‘Whoops. It’s surprising.’

While looking at Peten, Shien nodded and smiled.

‘… Is it such a big surprise?’

On the contrary, it was Adele who tilted her head in disbelief.

* * *

Although I was briefly confused by Adele’s true identity.

Soon after, Peten came to his senses and continued to talk with Shien.

Fortunately, there weren’t that many customers today.

It was an appropriate time for both herself and Shien to focus on the other person.

Originally, he had a good feeling because he was the head of a famous swordsman family that he respected.

However, I fell more and more into that beauty.

‘Some people said that the head of Lichtenau was a woman with an ugly appearance… .’

Those rumors were just nonsense made out of hostility to the demons.

I knew that when I faced the truth, I would literally turn to powder and disappear.

On the contrary, she is far more beautiful than any woman I have ever seen.

“Holy Head, among the articles I saw before… .”

“is it so? That’s interesting. I’ve been to so many places… .”

Every time I talked to Shien, I was so happy that my whole body trembled.

It seems that the corners of his mouth are ascending to heaven.

Anyway, I want to keep seeing this woman smiling.

‘I think I know why my father asked me to stay with the Lichtenau family.’

Even though he inherited demonic blood.

All that aside, the name Lichtenauer is overwhelming.

I wondered if the death of the former head of the family would damage its reputation.

Didn’t it recover from the imperial banquet that had been held a while ago?

If there is such a beautiful woman as the family head.

It was clear that countless competitors would gradually gather around and covet her.

To be honest, I wasn’t confident.

He is neither a knight nor Etenberg’s successor.

On the other hand, the woman in front of him is the head of Lichtenauer.

That alone makes a difference, but it’s a beauty that’s burdensome to even dare to look at.

Although his own father, the son of the Lord of Etenberg, wants to hold onto Shien’s side.

No matter how much I thought about it, it would be difficult for Peten, he thought.

“… .”

On the other hand, Adele is looking at Shien from some distance away.

From nob le mt l. co m

My nerves were sharp because I didn’t know what it was from before.

Why is it suddenly like this, since when has it been like this?

Thinking about it, he soon figured out why.

The time when Shien was talking about this and that with Paten.

Precisely from that moment on, this stuffiness came.

‘… what.’

Just in case, I expanded my senses as much as possible and checked Peten.

Either he was hiding his skills, or he had impure intentions.

Assuming such a situation, I thoroughly searched him.

But he was just an ordinary young man.

I would say that a somewhat trained body is a unique feature.

Even that can be overcome if you are dreaming of becoming a knight.

Thanks to this, the reason for the frustration has literally become obscure.

There is only one thing Adele can do in this situation.

While keeping an eye on Cien, I wonder if someone is doing something stupid.

All I could do was scan and keep an eye on it.
