Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid chapter 82
82 – 21. Invitation (2)
“Are the preparations going well?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Clap. These three days must be the last time you will be called by that title.”
“Even if the owner changes, my father is the eternal head of household.”
Then the old man wanted to laugh once again, but erased the smile at once.
All that remained on his face was a very cold aura.
“Don’t say anything you don’t mean to say, Etria. And, even if you have such a heart, you shouldn’t show off in front of anyone. Power is given to only one person. It is the place where you have to crush even the person you most admire.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“I will ask again. Who is the owner of this Fiore?”
“You are still the head of the household, but I will soon take the place.”
“If so, what would you say to this father who is now in the past?”
Etria silently looked at her father and her family head.
What is the answer he really wants? What answer are you waiting for?
The worry didn’t last long. At first, she knew the answer.
“Now leave it to me and quietly step back and tend the garden.”
It was fortunate that there was still politeness in his voice.
If it wasn’t for that, it would be misunderstood that it was a picture that took away the head of the family by force.
However, the head of Fiore only let out a hearty laugh.
That’s how it should be, that place is that kind of place.
I cheered for my daughter and patted her on the shoulder again and again.
“It is more surprising than that. Thinking of inviting Lichtenauer?”
“that… .”
“Has something happened that I need to look into them?”
At Abi’s words, Etria put on a bewildered expression.
It wasn’t even the imperial family, where would Lichtenauer be concerned?
There was no such thing as such, it was literally an unfair word.
“Absolutely not, Headmistress.”
“What if? Why did you invite her?”
“There is something I want to confirm. With my own eyes.”
At Etria’s answer, the family head’s face slightly distorted.
I know very well that there have been frequent clashes between Fiore and Lichtenau these days.
Plus, the winner was always Lichtenauer, not Fiore.
“Perhaps, was it because of that man named Adele?”
Etria did not answer the family head’s question.
Seeing that, the head of the household clicked his tongue as he looked at his daughter.
Etria has a truly outstanding successor.
Just because she’s his daughter doesn’t mean it’s good.
Objectively, in terms of ability, she was perfect.
He is impeccable in terms of lineage, and as the leader of a master swordsmanship, his swordsmanship is excellent.
There is not only military power there, but also political power as a family head.
He is a child who can lead the family well without being biased in one place.
However, if you still have a few concerns.
‘I’m worried about that greedy temper. It can be a weapon when the situation is good, but it can be a snare that strangles the head when the situation is not good.’
In the eyes of the family head, that wasn’t the only concern about Etria.
I was also worried about the fact that I had never failed.
Recently, while colliding with Lichtenau, I experienced something similar to failure.
To be honest, I tend to call it a failure.
A devastating blow or a terrible defeat would have to be this much if it were a real failure.
Without having to go far, there is a good example called Sien in Liechtenau.
A woman who became the head of the family without even preparing after losing all of her former head of household and successor.
He thought that he would go through hardships with a family that looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.
However, Shien returned the family to normal in less than half a year.
No, rather, it succeeded in making it stronger than before.
Rumor has it that its prestige has grown tremendously.
Of course, there may be some ugliness to say that it is Shien’s own ball.
However, just because the people under the head of the household are excellent, didn’t the head of the family lack merit?
It is also the ability and credit of the family head to have those outstanding people under him.
Falling in love with Shien, the head of Lichtenau.
From nob le mt l. co m
My daughter, Etria, has never experienced such a complete failure.
Although now the difference is not that big.
Although it can be said that there is no need for anything in a situation where everything is win-win.
What no one knows about the world, you can’t always go up.
As he led the Fiorera family during the Great War, he was naturally worried.
‘I hope it’s just Ki-woo, but…’ It makes me feel uneasy for some reason.’
Is it the useless worry of an old man?
Or is it the intuition of an old soldier who survived the hard times?
The head of Fiore wasn’t quite sure of himself yet.
Rather, look back at yourself who can’t be sure.
I even thought that I should step down from this position and leave the work behind me.
“If it’s true, Lord. I’ll just go There are still many things to prepare.”
“Okay. I’ll keep busy, so it’s okay to skip the greetings for the past few days.”
“Thank you for your consideration, Headmistress.”
Etria, who withdrew from her father like that, moved on.
Just after passing through the corridor and entering the main hall, a vassal walks up to you and whispers to you.
“… okay? It will arrive sometime tomorrow.”
“yes. cow lord. It should be arriving in the afternoon at the latest.”
Etria nodded at those words.
He also emphasized that there should be no setbacks in welcoming them.
Even though it’s never a pleasant relationship with the family that is coming now.
The recent conflicts were all caused by him, so he had to be extra careful.
As before, the knights were to refrain from sharpening their blades openly.
‘No way, but I didn’t know you would really accept the invitation.’
In fact, from Etria’s point of view, it was no different from a fishing rod that had been thrown once.
I thought it would be good if you asked, and it would be fine if you didn’t ask.
To be honest, the probability of not biting is much higher, and I was expecting that.
However, Shien, the head of Lichtenau, is on his way to Fiore.
This time, he was moving beyond his expectations.
‘It’s unpleasant, but I can’t help it. Everything from the past to the latest.’
By the time Shien and his party had almost arrived, Etria had heard a rumor that made no sense.
It was that a second-class demonic spectacle had occurred in Lichtenau.
He even said that there wasn’t only one 2nd-class demon spectacle.
Two third-class demon spectacles occurred first, followed by a second-class demon spectacle.
The moment Etria heard those words, she remembered the tragedy of Lichtenau.
In fact, everyone in the know knew it.
How the former family of Lichtenauer died in battle.
When the successor who was dispatched to subdue the 3rd-class Demonic Landscape faced the 2nd-class Demonic Landscape.
I tried to save my son and others and was swept away.
The time and process were very similar.
However, there was a crucial difference from that time.
It is said that the current Liechtenauer did not suffer a devastating blow.
Rather, they succeeded in closing the demonic realm with minimal damage.
‘Does that make sense? Close the 2nd grade demonic world with minimal damage?’
This is not an idea that comes out of ignoring Lichtenauer or Sien.
Even from Fiore’s point of view, it was difficult to discuss victory in the second-class demon scene.
I’ve had to deal with several level 3 demon spectacles, but there are several times.
However, there is a huge difference between the two classes that can’t be helped.
How many times would even the imperial knights recall that it was a terrible battle?
As such, the second-class Demonic View was hell or a nightmare itself for the current empire.
However, Lichtenauer and Shien successfully subdued the second-class Demonic World.
It wouldn’t be strange if more than half of the family’s power was lost.
Assuming that the damage was minimal!
‘What is the probability that it is false?’
no, of course not how would you lie
This kind of thing would be reported directly to the imperial family right away.
What family in the world would dare to play such a prank against the imperial family?
Even if he became a public figure by scorning the imperial family right away, he would have nothing to say.
If that’s the case, it means that we’ve really succeeded in subjugating the second-class Demon Lord.
No further details were known yet.
It probably happened right before he received his invitation and took care of it.
So, I must have arrived in Fiore almost as rumored.
‘If I had suffered great damage, I wouldn’t have come this far because I was crazy.’
I wonder if that was the reason why Cien responded to the invitation.
On the surface, he expressed his congratulations on his appointment as head of household.
Nowhere else, right here in the west, in the courtyard of Fiore.
It seemed that he was intending to publicize the name of Lichtenauer and its strength.
‘Tsk.’
If I had known this was going to happen, I would not have invited you.
Etria shook her head while regretting that it was too late.
Now that this has happened, I thought I would have to find another breakthrough.
Actually, the reason why she invited Xian to this event.
It was none other than the man next to her.
‘I thought I’d try to get something through the upper part of the leg.’
Could it be that I haven’t heard a particularly worthy answer from Cien?
Karina Sanganju met herself who asked for a meeting again with an expression that could not be read at all.
In the end, Etria gave up because she couldn’t understand what was going on.
I wanted to ask what happened even if there was a way to say it around.
I thought that all of this could be a trap of Karina’s upper house.
If I had understood my intentions, I would have done so.
‘In the end, all that remains is my judgment.’
In fact, Etria’s judgment was already fixed in one place.
She said that she would keep that man named Adele by her side at all costs.
