Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid chapter 94

94 – 24. Now I know (1)

“You’ve worked hard, Lord Fiore.”

After the casualties were settled, the corpses of the beasts were cleaned up, and all other post-processing was completed.

When Etria entered the banquet hall looking exhausted, Shien was the first to step out.

She didn’t have a mocking tone or a teasing look.

However, only the will of gratitude and hardship, handed over to those who fought hard, was evident.

“… .”

Etria looked down at Shien’s hand.

Should I hold this hand or not, the light of contemplation was clear.

First of all, since it is the head of another aristocratic family, it is right to receive it.

I wondered if I would be made a laughing stock when I thought of myself now.

After thinking about it for a while, Etria finally made up her mind.

“… Thank you, Lord Lichtenauer.”

I’m sorry, but without Lichtenauer’s help, Fiore would have collapsed today.

It is also very thorough and brutal. To the extent that words cannot express it all.

I wasn’t even sure if I would have survived.

Adele, the man did it all by himself, but at the same time he nailed himself.

He himself is an attendant of Lichtenau, and if you wish to express your gratitude, do it to the master.

I have only been ordered to do so, so you must do so.

It wasn’t even a small help that could be ignored.

He saved himself, his knights, and soldiers from Hell.

So, no matter how much he was, even if he was Fiore, he couldn’t help but bow his head.

Kwok-.

She bit her lips lightly, but in the end, Etria took action.

“… Lord Fiore?”

The head of Fiore, who hates the demon tribe, to the woman who received the blood of the demon tribe.

It seems to be slowly but surely lowering its head.

Thanks to this, Shien and other nobles were greatly surprised.

“Without Lichtenauer’s help… Many under his command would have suffered more damage. Maybe I wasn’t here either. Again, thank you.”

With a bit of exaggeration, it could be said to be a scene of shock and fear.

If it’s related to the demons, it’s Fiore that the entire family has their eyes on.

It is said that there is some kind of secret history, but there is no exact situation.

Anyway, it was quite shocking for the head of Fiore to bow down to a mixed-race demon.

In addition, isn’t it the head of Lichtenau that Fiore really wants to overcome?

If the head of household directly steps forward and bows his head like this, it’s like advertising at the bottom, let alone passing it over.

“… As a fellow human being, I just did what I had to do.”

After a moment of silence, Shien slowly parted his lips.

How can I lead this atmosphere without buying hostility?

One human and one householder try to find the right line.

“Fiore would have done the same if our Lichtenau were in danger.”

While not overly undermining Fiore’s prestige, he subtly raises Lichtenauer’s position.

No matter how much we grind our teeth, we, Lichtenauers, will not betray our morality.

What he was saying was clearly communicated to each of the nobles.

“We have to finish the banquet soon. Wasn’t there something more joyous after winning?”

“… That’s what you said. Then, excuse me.”

Etria, still with a hard expression, passed Shien and went up to the second floor.

And to the aristocrats who are looking at him, he speaks as the master once again.

“I will not speak at length. Fiore has confirmed the disappearance of the 2nd-class demon spectacle.”

At Etria’s words, applause erupted from everywhere.

It’s not entirely Fiore’s credit, but obviously Fiore also fought fiercely.

Since they were the ones who formed the front from the beginning, they are qualified to discuss victory.

“There were some crises in the middle, but we received unexpected support along with the final battle. Thanks to this, we were able to cut casualties in half. I am truly grateful. Anything that would spoil the banquet is gone. You must have been confused in the early morning, so we will prepare for the banquet in the afternoon so grandly that even the confusion will be erased. Once again, thanks to all of you.”

After those words, Etria bowed her head to the gathered nobles.

More massive applause followed to greet her.

“… .”

Etria raised her head and did not even pay attention to those nobles.

There was only one place that her eyes could reach, and that was where Adele was standing.

* * *

The sudden demonic situation ended, and the banquet began in a more cheerful atmosphere.

There were so many injured and dead, but now it’s first to enjoy the victory.

Consolation and compensation for the departed will come next.

“… .”

Shien was sitting still and watching the nobles.

Some clung to Etria’s side, laughing hahahahaha, but talking.

From nob le mt l. co m

Most of the other personnel were still watching their own eyes.

Apparently, they want to talk to Lichtenauer.

Is it because Fiore notices it, or is it because of some other reason?

I can’t approach it easily and just keep going round and round.

“I think it’s because of me, Shien.”

“yes?”

When Adele, who was standing next to her, said that, Shien asked what she meant.

“I went a little too wild, and everyone who saw it from earlier reacted like that.”

“… That was a bit excessive. maybe… ?”

From nob le mt l. co m

Maybe it was because the front line was closer to the castle than the first.

Everyone could vaguely see how Adele handled the monsters while running wild alone.

Is there a human who can tear and slay demon beasts with his bare hands? Who wouldn’t be afraid

Even the skilled soldiers and the strong knights swallowed dry saliva.

Compared to them, the nobles, who were considerably weaker, could not be present.

“But I can’t help it. It’s like instinct, so I can’t control it well.”

“I have no intention of blaming you. It’s because of the environment you’ve been living in.”

Wolfheddin was a combat group that even the Imperial Knights put out their tongues.

Among them, Adele was said to be the strongest and most desperate.

No one in the world would dare to understand or imagine his life.

If there is anyone who can do that, it will be the only comrades who fought alongside him.

“… Shien.”

“Yes, Adele.”

“Can I be alone for a while? Hey, it looks like a guest is coming.”

Upon hearing Adele’s words, Shien turned her head and saw a middle-aged man.

With bandages all over his body, it was clear that he had suffered major or minor injuries.

Shien, who was looking at him, ah! and let out a light exclamation.

“It’s the captain of the Knights of Fiore, Sir Karad.”

“Perhaps you have something to tell me.”

“It must have something to do with what happened earlier, right?”

“Surely it will.”

Looking at the approaching leader Karad, Shien fell into trouble.

Did that article over there really come to Adele on its own?

Or was it that Etria secretly gave orders and approached?

If it’s the former, there’s no particular reason to stop it, but if it’s the latter, the story is different.

From his point of view, he couldn’t be displeased, so he was able to spit out abusive language.

“… Go ahead, Adele.”

“Are you okay?”

“I was thinking of having a chat with the nobles who are paying attention over there.”

“… I understand, Shien.”

Shortly after the conversation between Adele and Shien was over, Captain Karad approached.

He was the first to bow down and bow to Shien, who was standing in front of him.

“Karad, the captain of the knights of Fiore, welcomes the head of Lichtenau.”

Then he turned his head to the side and looked at Adele.

“hmm.”

The narrowing of his eyes suggests that he is examining something intently.

Just with that gaze, Shien could roughly guess what Karad was really thinking.

You look completely different from that guy from before? That’s what you think.

Thanks to that, Shien almost burst into laughter without realizing it.

People’s reactions were all the same, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hey, Lord Lichtenau. If it’s not rude, I’d like to have a conversation with the person standing next to me, would you please?”

Even Karad’s tone was the same as when he treated a superior.

You are the one who is standing. It was not something the knight commander would say against the attendant.

Forcibly holding back the twitching of my lips from the laughter I was holding back.

Shien parted his lips in a deliberately stern tone.

“Is there any hidden intention?”

The point is, it means that he is trying to do some tricks under Etria’s orders.

Depending on what you hear, the words that Captain Karad may also express displeasure.

However, he even waved his hand, saying, “Absolutely not.”

“Absolutely not. I just want to ask something as a knight and a prosecutor.”

“That’s right, Adele. Do as you please.”

“… Let’s go, Captain. I will hang out with you for a while.”

Coincidentally, Shien also needed time to act as an aristocrat and family head.

So, just as I was contemplating whether I should vacate my seat, Captain Karad came to me.

Adele had no reason to kick him out or kick him out.

“Thank you, Sir Adele. Then this way.”

The strong man who is said to be the first in Fiore bends himself like that.

Xian smiled inwardly and shook his head.
