chapter 27
Episode 27 – The nobleman who learned about the ‘promise’
“Boss. Another letter from the head of the household has arrived.”
“A letter?”
As I returned to my room after training, Nina held out a letter from her to me with her beautiful hands.
The seal of the family was engraved on the letter envelope with the symbol of the family, and on the seal that sealed the envelope.
Any member of the family can use the envelope with the family symbol on it.
However, there is only one person who can use the family crest on the thread that seals the envelope.
In other words, only those who hold the title of head of the family can embed the family crest into the letter seal.
For this reason, Nina and I knew that this letter was from my father.
I received a letter from Nina.
When it comes to letters, I received one a few days ago, so why did I send another letter all of a sudden?
I carefully tore off the wax that sealed the envelope and took out the contents to see what my father had written down.
–
My son, Alberto.
This father was so happy last time that he couldn’t say anything.
Originally, you can only send a letter once every 14 days, but I asked Barito to send a letter like this.
As for the church, Barito explained it to me, so now I have to tell you the secrets of our family.
As soon as you receive this letter, come to Barito’s office.
There, I will tell you about the ‘promise’ that our ancestors made a long time ago.
PS
Don’t forget to burn the letter.
If it’s at the level of a sword master, you can raise an aura flame, right?
If you don’t know, just bring the letter.
I’ll take care of it.
–
If what was written in the letter was true, it meant that my father was at the Royal Academy.
The Royal Academy doesn’t let students’ parents in at all, but it seems that the father is an exception.
“Is the head of the family in the capital?”
I knew that my father was here because Nina also saw the contents of the letter next to me.
“To be precise, it seems that you are in the office of the Marquis of Sebatia. It’s still before everyone wakes up, so let’s hurry up.”
Nina and I hurriedly got dressed and headed to the office of the Marquis of Sebatia.
Because it was still dawn, not many people were up, so it was easy to move around.
When I arrived at the office and knocked, the door opened by itself.
The door opened, revealing the Marquis Sebatia’s office, where my father and the Marquis Sebatia were sitting on the couch waiting for us.
“Welcome. I was waiting for you.”
I greeted my father and the Marquis of Sebatia.
“All right. What is the greeting between us? Sit down instead We have to talk about something important from now on.”
“You mean an important story?”
At the words of Marquis Sebatia, I closed the door to the office and sat down on the sofa.
Nina bowed lightly to her father and followed behind me.
“It was a long time ago. Still, this was before the Bregern Empire was established.”
With everyone but Nina sitting on the sofa, the father’s mouth began to open.
And the words that came out of my father’s mouth were very shocking.
–
1,000 Years ago.
This is the story of the time when the Bregern Empire and the El Pario Empire were still kingdoms.
At that time, the great power that ruled the world was the Pandeum Empire.
The Pandeum Empire was in a situation where it was reigning as the world’s strongest country through magic engineering, a product of the advanced magic civilization.
However, the Pandeum Empire, which seemed to last forever, collapsed in an instant due to a single experiment.
The development of magical engineering made the Emperor of Darkness, the ruler of the Pandeum Empire, have arrogant thoughts.
“Look. Feel it give in This is the true power of God. I am the god of this world.”
The Emperor of Darkness called himself a god, and showed a course full of arrogance and arrogance, and many countries suffered from his actions.
He even tried to take on his divinity and become a god himself, and this alone explains how crazy he is.
Anyway, in the process of becoming a god, the investigation team of the Pandeum Empire discovered the ‘Heart of the Devil’.
This object, which looked like a creature and also like a jewel, had tremendous mana and mystical powers.
The Emperor of Darkness took it, and he tried to become a god himself, using his own body as his sacrifice to create a device to ascend to heaven.
That was the magical tool called the ‘Altar of Ascension’.
The moment the Emperor of Darkness activated the Altar of Ascension to ascend to heaven by using the demon’s heart and his own body as sacrifices, a black mist covered the Pandeum Empire.
The moment the black mist covered the Pandeum Empire, an oracle descended.
[The emperor of the Pandeum Empire has awakened an entity that should not be awakened. Therefore, we have selected heroes, so help them stop the evil spirit’s apostle’s plan!]
According to the contents of the oracle, people sought out heroes chosen by the gods and supported them.
And then, the black fog covering the Pandeum Empire disappeared, and finally the Apostle of the Evil God appeared.
The existence and the heroes faced each other, wearing black robes and covering their faces with black masks.
“Ah, these pitiful people do not know the true God. I will let you know who the real God is. Be humble and serve Him. Then you too will be able to ascend.”
The Apostle of the Evil Spirit, who descended based on the body of the Emperor of Sorcery, was very powerful.
The seven heroes became one and fought against the Apostle of the Evil God for over a month, and in the aftermath of the battle, the territory of the Pandeum Empire was literally destroyed.
Through the struggles of the seven heroes, the apostle of evil has fallen.
“Khehehehe, did you think I would step down like this? I will never die! One day, I will come back and give this land to him!”
However, as he disappeared, he said he would reappear.
The seven heroes gathered together and made a bloody promise.
[We leave a promise in blood here.]
[In the distant future, when the apostles of the evil spirit descend on this land again, we will become one again.]
[Our descendants will once again become a shield against the apostles of evil spirits.]
[I hope nothing tragic will ever happen again on this land.]
[All this, we promise with our blood.]
These seven heroes made a promise, hoping that even if they died, their descendants would take over the mission and protect the future.
And, that promise has continued to this day, and even today, its descendants are still alive and struggling to keep the promise.
This promise has been handed down from generation to generation to the firstborn, regardless of male or female.
And now that the oracle about the evil god had descended again, the families who remembered the promise had to unite again.
–
“Then, the Maidern family… ….”
“Yes. Geus Maidern, our ancestor and progenitor, was the leader of the seven heroes.”
“This is a great secret… ….”
After hearing her father’s explanation, I could understand why Elizabeth had come to see me.
“Then Archduchess Bertus, then, of the promise?”
“Yes. The Bertus family was also one of the seven heroic families.”
“In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that all the noble families of the Bregern Empire and the El Pario Empire are direct descendants of the seven heroes or partly inherited their blood.”
To be honest, I couldn’t believe this situation.
No, my family that rules the small county on the outskirts turns out to be the descendants of an ancient hero?
This is the sound of some passing orc grazing.
“You can’t believe it. When I too heard this from my father, I couldn’t believe it. However, now that the oracle about the resurrection of the evil spirit has come down, it is time for the descendants of the seven heroes to unite again.”
Hu, why do amazing things happen all around me these days?
Hasn’t he awakened as a sword master not too long ago?
Isn’t it said that you have to live a life at the Royal Academy while hiding your power?
Isn’t the oracle coming down and foretelling the resurrection of the evil spirit?
Aren’t the bastards trying to get into the Royal Academy?
What kind of situation is this?
“So, how many families are all related to the promise?”
“All seven families. Maidern family. Bertus family. Bregern family. The Bedoran family. In this way, there are four families in our Bregern Empire, and the Alemis family in the El Pario Empire. House of Circus. There are three families of the Elpario family.”
“Wait a minute, Father. Aren’t the Bregern and Elpario families the imperial family?”
“Yes. Right. I don’t know about anything else, but the issue of the resurrection of the evil spirits is a relationship between the two families, not fighting each other.”
Heh heh heh. This is really shocking.
I never thought that the imperial families of both empires would descend from the seven ancient heroes.
“Well, aside from that, His Majesty the Emperor will call you sooner or later about this matter. Now that you know about the promise, I believe you will do well.”
“Do you really think I will cause an accident in front of Your Majesty?”
I accepted my father’s request with a smile.
“Well, you would do well. Oh, and if possible, don’t show kindness to women from other families more than is necessary.”
“Kindness beyond necessity? Am I just doing what I normally do?”
I didn’t understand what my father was saying.
No, I’m just using a polite tone with a smile like I usually do, so why are you talking like you’re going to get into trouble?
“I mean, don’t leave room for trouble later by offering kindness more than is necessary. Son.”
Well, my father must have a reason for saying this.
“Then, let’s go and see.”
“Yes. I will speak well to your mother and younger siblings.”
I got up, greeted my father and the Marquis of Sebatia, and left.
The words “Don’t be too kind” Kept ringing in my head.
Well, there’ll be no problem, so you just need to change your tone to be a little less kind, right?
I thought so and went back to the dormitory with Nina.
–
Alberto and Nina left, and the two of them, sitting in the office of the Marquis of Sebatia, opened their mouths again.
“Did he go?”
“It looks like a liver. I see that there is no sound.”
The two knew that Alberto and Nina were far apart by sound alone.
“Hu, really. He’s my son, but it’s going to be really big later.”
“As you said, it seems to be quite famous among female cadets already. It’s to the point where he’s nicknamed ‘the nobleman with a mysterious smile who handles his sword well.'”
“For God’s sake, I just hope that nothing will happen to her.”
“Give up. It’s easier to give up.”
The Count of Meidern sighed and said, and the Marquis of Sebatia only looked at him with pity.
“By the way, while I’m in the capital, I’m going to see the emperor. But? As a father, I should say thank you for selecting my son as a scholarship student.”
“Yes. It should be Let’s go and have a drink for the three of us after a long time.”
“I should also call that guy from the Bedoran family. Maybe you should give me a present as a thank you for getting rid of the trouble in the family?”
Count Meidern accepted the offer of the Marquis of Sebatia.
The Count of Meidern, the Marquis of Sebatia, the Duke of Bedoran, and the Emperor of the Bregern Empire were friends with each other.
Even if the Maidern family was stuck in the countryside, the reason why other families couldn’t quarrel was because they had such reliable friends.
Who dares to touch the family of the sword master who has the emperor, the head of the imperial knights, and the duke as friends?
If Alberto had known this fact, he would not have been eager to show himself in the social world and try to make an assistant to help the family.
However, Alberto, unaware of this fact, was thinking about how to build goodwill so that many people could help his family at the banquet to be held a few days later.
What can I do?
Alberto’s hardships have only just begun.
