Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid chapter 61

61 – 17. Tell the truth (1)

“… .”

Sitting in the carriage, Shien looked at Adele, who was sitting across from her.

After washing off the blood and changing clothes, the original neat man appeared.

The same person as the beast from before?

It was hard for anyone, including myself, to accept easily.

I assure you, few people can even imagine.

“Adele.”

Shien slowly parted her lips at the man sitting in front of her.

He is a servant of the family, and he called someone who will be his escort.

“Yes, Shien.”

“Don’t you have something to say to me?”

“… sorry.”

“What? What are you sorry about?”

“I am really sorry for leaving without a word. Shien.”

Of course, that part is definitely something that needs to be addressed.

Whatever the beginning and course of action, Adele accepted the job as an escort.

In such a situation, the escort target disappeared without a word.

Even when he had to obey orders, he refused to do so.

Things you should never do as an escort, refusing orders and leaving without permission.

It’s a problem with just one thing, and I even committed it at the same time.

“… I see. There is a problem with that part. But, Adele. I’m not talking about that.”

The scene was still vivid in my eyes.

Even veteran soldiers who are accustomed to the battlefield, and knights who fight more battles than soldiers.

You will never be able to create the atmosphere you saw before.

A beast covered in the blood of a demon and breathing heavily.

The beast that tore the corpses of already dead monsters to pieces.

No matter how you think about it, that was never what a normal human would look like.

“What happened? The leader said that the wounds inflicted on the War Wolf were exactly the same as those of the monsters scattered across the field. They say the way they attack and the emotions they feel are the same.”

“… .”

I made a mistake, this is obviously my own mistake.

It’s not just about disobeying orders and leaving your seat.

I went further and revealed everything I wanted to hide.

I had to control my life somehow, but I was swept away by it again.

Even if you try to suppress it, this anger, this hatred, will not go away easily.

It felt like Adele would die if she didn’t swing the sword.

So kill, kill, and kill the monsters.

After chasing and crushing all those who ran away, I stopped breathing.

Without even knowing it, it reached someone else’s field of view.

All of a sudden, even though he reached right in front of Shien, he couldn’t come to his senses.

“Could it be you? Adele, are these things you did?”

I can’t hide it anymore, I don’t even have an excuse to attach anything.

Answering no here would only waste time.

Adele was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

“Really, really you.”

“… yes.”

“So, a second-class Demonic Realm really. You fought alone against the monsters that emerged from there. No, no. You alone did such a carnage.”

“That’s right.”

Adele’s answer left Shien at a loss for words.

Even if you think it’s impossible, it’s impossible.

When I look at the scene I faced just a moment ago, I feel that it may not be.

Who could show such an appearance against War Wolf?

‘Come to think of it… .’

According to Adele, who was wiping the blood off her body, and Brender, who was next to her.

Adele said that there were more scars on her body than expected.

Some of them seem to have come from fighting this time.

Most of the rest seems to have been engraved a long time ago.

– It was on a different level from the few wounds that knights and soldiers had. –

– There are more than ten wounds that would have been fatal if not done. It means that he has gone through many life-and-death hurdles. Also, the skin on the upper body was not intact at all. They said that they never took off their top when training in their family. I think I now know why. –

– You said that Adele was a child soldier, right? In my opinion, they are not ordinary child soldiers at all. No matter how many battles you’ve been through, it’s on a completely different level. –

If the captain of the knights said that, how cruel could it be?

How many fights has Adele gone through and how rough is she?

“Adele.”

“Yes, Shien.”

“if you do not mind. Can you tell me a little bit more about you?”

“… .”

“Of course, you don’t have to tell me if it makes you uncomfortable.”

That’s what I said, but I want to know, and I want to hear it.

The secret of that man he was hiding from himself.

He wants to know something secret that no one else in the world knows.

“I hope you don’t put too much pressure on me. i just… .”

“I am okay. Don’t worry. It’s just that Shien-sama is uncomfortable. Shall we look at it with a different eye? That’s just a concern. I am fine with myself.”

I’m fine, but I’m worried that you’ll be uncomfortable.

Shien felt even more uneasiness at those words.

To say such a thing when you’ve already seen Adele’s ‘real’ side.

That saying that you are used to yourself, but you don’t know how it will look to others.

Hearing that, he wondered what kind of person he knew, Adele.

Are you saying that everything you’ve ever seen or had a crush on is a lie?

Such thoughts follow one after another.

“… tell me Tell me, Adele.”

The only way to relieve anxiety is eventually.

It is to hear the real story from his mouth.

Why did Adele keep hiding something?

Was it to deceive others, or was it just for others?

Shien wanted to make sure of that part.

That’s the only way, I think I’ll put my mind at ease.

“All right. If you say so… I will answer honestly.”

After taking a breath for a moment, Adele’s eyes shook slightly.

It is clear that he is contemplating where to start and how to speak.

“Do you remember that I was a child soldier?”

“yes. I said so. Oh, maybe that too… .”

“no. that’s the truth I’ve actually been in the Great War since I was very young. However, it didn’t happen in a militia or an aristocratic territory as Shien-nim thought. He was such a lucky child soldier who fought beside the highest of the Empire.”

In an instant, Shien’s body stood tall and stopped.

Now I wonder if I’ve heard something wrong.

It felt like something unexpected had come out.

“Adele, what now… What I heard wrong… .”

“You heard it right. Mr. Sien. I am… I was by the side of His Majesty the Emperor. for over 10 years. I fought a battle beside him. Teaming up with colleagues who were in a similar situation to me.”

As if recalling that time, Adele’s eyes sunk deeply.

“There was no specific name. Because that didn’t matter to us at all. Our goal is only one, until all of those monsters disappear. Or it was to fight until we all died. However, at some point, people who knew me and my colleagues called us this way.”

It’s a name that’s been hidden in a very deep place so far, but it’s identity.

Hiding it or revealing it is ultimately your right.

Who you are to anyone you meet.

I feel like telling you what kind of life I’ve lived.

You are willing to do whatever you want.

The emperor said so with a gentle smile.

So, what Adele had been hiding inside all this time.

The past where I was worried that the other person would know and look at it with strange eyes.

Adele finally laid it out carefully in front of a woman.

“Special armed forces subordinate to the imperial family.”

“… .”

“Common name, Wolfheddin.”

* * *

After Lichtenauer’s party leaves, the neighboring lords also return.

Commander Runenstadt and the imperial troops under his command continued to scan the surroundings.

“Commander. I did find witches… .”

“Is it full of corpses again?”

“That’s right. And, again, there were no traces of battle, just traces of murder.”

“under.”

The commander clutched his forehead as if in amazement.

From the appearance of the second-class demonic world, it is clear that something tremendous has happened.

The monsters pouring out from there are literally being slaughtered.

What could be more surprising and embarrassing than this?

‘It’s a ghost to sing. It’s not possible, but if you look at the situation again, it’s clearly happening. How the hell am I supposed to explain this, Won.’

What else should I write in the report right now?

From nob le mt l. co m

My head ached as to what words to convey to the imperial family.

Although it is fortunate that there was no battle and there was no damage.

As Commander of Runenstadt, whatever it was, it was very embarrassing.

“We can’t stay here too long, so share information with the nearby territories.”

“I understand, Commander.”

It’s not certain, but the annihilation of the demonic beasts is expected with a high probability.

The demonic realm had already been closed and the corpses of Warwolves were coming out all over the place.

It seemed that even those who escaped could not get far and were caught and died.

That’s how the Imperial Army under Commander Runnstadt withdrew.

All that was left was the second party to clean up the bodies of the beasts and the people of the nearby manor.

“It’s a ghost to sing. What happened?”

“Maybe God helped.”

The people whispered and burned the corpses of the Witchbeasts one by one.

However, because the number was so large, it seemed that it would take several days, no more than a week.

One day, when everyone gathered their strength to organize the corpses of the remaining monsters.

“… .”

A woman who seemed to be an extremely ordinary woodcutter appeared in front of the field.

The woman stared blankly at the scene unfolding before her eyes.

Then, he takes a closer look at the Werewolf’s corpse that gets in the way.

It was a horrendous sight, so it wouldn’t be a problem to be frightened.

She was examining them so calmly.

The woman who checked the wound here and there for a while.

He parted his lips slowly as if he had suddenly remembered.

“… Leader?”
