Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid chapter 85
85 – 21. Invitation (5)
“What do you mean, Lord Lichtenauer? Are the servants making balls?”
It wasn’t Etria that responded, it was guests from other families.
From their point of view, you might want to say something nonsense.
Because Shien and Etria are the only ones who know about Adele’s situation.
“everyone… .”
Sensing a strange atmosphere, Etria was about to stop it.
But this time, Shien was much faster.
“You don’t know. It hasn’t passed the knight test yet, so it’s much better than most knights.”
“Come to think of it, that young man was a knight of Fiore before… .”
One of the aristocrats who had been saying that without even knowing it said, “Oh,” and shut up.
All of a sudden, he had said that in front of Etria.
“I’m sorry. Lord Feore.”
“no. Defeat is defeat. I lost my escort knight in the game at the time, but I also gained it. Now, I am focusing on nurturing my juniors.”
There is no mention of the fact that he could no longer be a knight because his arm was cut off.
Even if they already know about it, it doesn’t matter.
Because he had to clearly show that he was okay with Fiore.
“A few days before coming here, I officially submitted a report to the imperial family. They said that they subdued two 3rd-class demon spectacles and one 2nd-class demon spectacle, and the damage was not that great.”
“A second-class demon?”
“Lord Liechtenauer. Did you just say that it was a level 2 demon?”
Somehow the news reached Fiore, but there are families that didn’t.
Because the distance between North and West is quite large and there is not much interest in each other.
It is natural because there is no reason to care about each other like Lichtenau and Fiore.
Anyway, to those people, the words that came out of Sien’s mouth were like thunder from the sky.
A second-class Demonic Lands appearing, even from the North?
If done wrong, the damage could spread to the entire empire.
Would you say that it was a real hell where even the Imperial Knights struggled in the past?
However, according to Shien’s words, he subdued that 2nd-class Demon Lord.
It was surprising that he didn’t even suffer major damage.
“yes. It’s a level 2 demon. A truly hellish place. It was a desperate fight. Perhaps it would have suffered more damage if Adele had not been there. It certainly would have been.”
“What kind of person is that attendant named Adele to be like that?”
“Sometimes it is said that a genius comes down from the sky. Existences who, with efforts similar to those of others, achieve results several times that. Adele is such a person. With a sword, even knights admire it.”
The nobles exclaimed at Shien’s words.
If the family head of Lichtenau, who is said to be a master of swordsmanship, would admit it, it would surely be a great thing.
Isn’t there a history of defeating even the knights of Fiore?
He is telling the truth, not just an empty word.
The nobles hurriedly turned their attention to Adele.
He was the one who made it possible to talk about the topic of subjugating the second-class Demon Lord in a light atmosphere.
Etria also wanted to take a closer look at Adele anyway, so she didn’t stop it.
Although it’s unpleasant to have someone else’s attention at your own celebratory party.
Instead, it was an extra business if you could find out more details.
“Would you like to come this way, Adele?”
At Shien’s command, Adele quietly stood beside him.
Then some nobles let out a short sigh.
To be considered a mere attendant, her appearance is too great.
Even if it was a son of a high-ranking aristocratic family, it would be unreasonable to believe it.
I wonder if he remembered the word ‘genius’ that Xian said a moment ago.
The aristocrats thought he was truly a man from heaven if he had such good looks and skills.
“If Adele hadn’t disrupted from the rear, the damage would have been greater.”
“Disruption operation against second-class witch beasts? No, you mean you led the detached team? An attendant?”
“no. Alone.”
In an instant, silence descends on the area.
The incomprehensible words came out, and I couldn’t accept them.
alone? Did you fight the Witchbeast alone? If knights fight alone, they are also beaten by 4th graders?
But did you fight alone against level 2 monsters called monsters themselves?
“… Lord Lichtenau. Your words are a bit strange.”
Eventually, Etria stepped forward and asked if there was something wrong.
However, Shien shook her head at her words.
“He is a greater man than any knight in Lichtenau.”
No matter how much Adele is my family’s servant, she still has pride.
To say that he was superior to any knight in Lichtenau was not something that could be given lightly.
Even so, the fact that Shien said that was clear evidence that it was the truth.
In an instant, red greed soared in Etria’s eyes.
If what Shien said is true, it is not a gemstone.
It is a huge and brilliant jewel that will never exist again in the world.
“I was just following Shien-sama’s orders.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe that’s why, Etria for a moment lost sight of the strangely flowing atmosphere.
Obviously, Shien praises Adele, and nobles pay attention to Adele.
Somehow, it was gradually becoming a picture that floated Lichtenau in Fiore.
‘wait for a sec. this… what.’
It was because of the eyes and notice of the nobles around him that he sensed the strangeness.
Her greed for Adele was too far ahead, and she left Shien to talk to her heart’s content.
Adele’s performance was important to him, so he kept his mouth shut.
From the other point of view, Lichtenauer subdued the second-class Demon Lord again.
It was becoming a story that he had made a tremendous feat that would never be seen again in the history of the empire.
had to cut off Originally, Etria herself had to cut it properly.
The protagonist is always himself, and the organizer is the head of Fiore.
It was right that all attention and admiration was directed exclusively to her.
However, it has become a form of concession to himself.
What could be more stupid and foolish than this?
‘under. That’s why I put Adele forward without hesitation.’
It almost ruined my mood completely.
Etria, who came to her senses, lightly cleared her throat once.
It was the owner’s will to bring the topic of conversation to light.
“The head of the family, the head of the family.”
But before Etria even brought up a new topic.
From afar, several knights cut through the nobles and approach.
It wasn’t the personnel who were standing guard around them.
Those who wear battle armor, not ceremonial armor.
Apparently they were knights who were active outside.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
“Wait, this way.”
How many eyes do you see, but the knights can see this?
There, Etria felt something unusual.
“For a moment, enjoy the banquet more. Let’s go for a while.”
So, she followed the knights outside.
“… I beg your pardon?”
I had to tell you a very shocking story.
“Tell me again. Now, what did you say?”
“A demonic spectacle has occurred not far from the main city.”
“What color? What color was it?”
The knights looked at each other at Etria’s question.
As if he was sorry to even bring up such a story.
“Why are there no answers? Are the family heads funny?”
“Oh, no. How?”
“Well, at first it was red… It turned black a little while ago.”
The moment Etria heard those words, chills ran down her spine.
On the most enjoyable and sparkling day like today, a second-class demonic world appeared?
Not far away, but not far from nature?
“What about the situation?”
“Once there was an extreme disturbance, it was difficult, so we secretly moved the knights and soldiers.”
“An evacuation order was issued for the entire population, and more than 50% of the residents have been evacuated.”
“good job. If news of this goes to the other nobles, there will be an uproar.”
Biting her lips, Etria began judging the timing.
You can’t keep it a secret, even if you can’t, you’ll have to let it know in a couple of hours.
The important thing is Fiore’s future appearance and ability to cope with the Demonic Realm.
They were nobles who had heard that Lichtenauer had blocked the 2nd-class demon without much damage.
If Fiore doesn’t show a good look in this situation.
It was a very natural result that his position was narrowed.
“First, let the commander lead all enlisted men and knights to prepare. I will also explain the general circumstances to the guests and then proceed. You must never show confusion until I speak first. Got it?”
“Is it possible?”
After the senior knights left, Etria clenched her fists.
The best days tend to turn into the worst days if done wrong.
The Lichtenauer tragedy is a good example.
It was the second-class Demonic Scene that ate the previous family head and his successor.
It was the monsters there who wiped out the great knights.
Fiore is also not safe.
Although he did not doubt his knights and enlisted men.
Still, it is the demonic realm that can never be relieved.
‘As if to show off, we also have to subdue the Demon Realm.’
This was the first ordeal she faced as the new head of Fiore.
You have to overcome the ordeal casually and stand up confidently.
Only then will it be the beginning of getting the name of the only master of swordsmanship in your hands.
you can do it, you can do it no. You have to do it.
Etria muttered that to herself and returned to the banquet hall with a hard expression on her face.
