Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

Rayman, who was just about to leave after writing a report to the protocol aide, couldn’t stand the provocation of his former colleague Marcel and followed him to the training ground.

Marcel Carr, a semi-knight who was always at odds with Rayman.

He hated Rayman, who was always rated higher than himself despite being a commoner.

All he could do was quarrel with him and form a gang to suppress Rayman outside of swordsmanship.

Rayman couldn’t stand Marcel’s continued checks and disputes and crashed into it.

In the first place, it was Marcel’s one-sided fault, but because there was no background, it became Rayman’s fault.

Now, Rayman has no regrets about going to Decane.

No, on the contrary, he thought he was lucky and even felt grateful to Marcel, so even meeting Marcel at the castle didn’t feel bad.

If only Marcel hadn’t insulted Decaine and the shooter.

“Decaine? The graveyard that was abandoned even in the kingdom? Kuk, what about the things that died in the past?”

“what? don’t insult me? Have you even heard of it? Your shooter is also Ren Argen? A scum that carries Arzen’s blood but can’t wield a sword properly.”

“Are you mad at me for being a shooter? Then jump on it! Shall we go to the training ground?”

Rayman filled himself with rage as he pondered over the words Marcel had just uttered.

Now that this has happened, I will punch him in the face. I thought so.

“Gmaaan!!”

Until the voice of the shooter is heard.

“Sa, sir?”

Rayman looked at Ren among his colleagues with a puzzled look on his face.

Only then did the others realize that Ren was among them and see him.

“shooter?”

“Is this Len Argen?”

“Decain’s Grave Keeper?”

With one word from Ren, the heat in the training ground suddenly subsided and cold eyes focused on him.

“Everyone seems very excited, let’s calm down for a moment.”

Ren walked between Rayman and Marcel and put his hand on both of their shoulders.

“It seems like we have a lot to do with each other, so why don’t we fight like street refugees like this, and fight like a knight with a sword?”

“What are you interfering with?”

Marcel cuts off Ren’s hand and fires at him.

“me? shooter boy Apparently, he often loses to my second shooter, so he seems to have a strong inferiority complex-”

“gibberish! complex? under! Me to this guy?”

“Oops, isn’t it? then prove it You said you lost every day before that? I heard that every time I evaluated my sword skills, I lost to Rayman and cried on the way.”

“You madman! What nonsense are you talking about!”

Marcel drew his knife, having a seizure at Ren’s false testimony.

“They were crazy in pairs. Come on! Now, I’ll show you that I’m above you. No, do you two want to attack together?”

The shaking clown shows his current state of mind.

On the other hand, Ren was smiling with a carefree expression, and Rayman stood in front of Ren restlessly.

‘The shooter is currently hiding his skills. I can’t get involved with these guys and put the shooter in trouble.’

Rayman also fired a sword with a serious face.

“Why is the shooter sticking with you? You can’t win either, can you?”

“Do you think I can’t defeat you, who has been buried in the cemetery behind the mountain for over two months?”

“now! Let’s all step back! It is said that the two of them are fighting an honorable knight’s match!”

Ren shouted loudly, as if trying to spread rumors to everyone inside the castle.

“Quartet Knight Marcel Carr staked his honor and challenged Quartet Rayman to a showdown!”

Perhaps this is enough for those outside the training ground to hear it.

“The one who loses will go between the crotch of the opponent.”

“This idiot!”

Marcel’s face contorted.

I was going to quietly bully Rayman at the training ground, but this goddamn graveyard machine appears and the work gets bigger and bigger.

If rumors spread in the castle and reached the ears of the second brother… … . I don’t even want to imagine.

“shut up!”

In a moment of urgency, Marcel stretched out his sword towards Ren.

It was an act intended only to threaten, but Rayman, who saw it, did not accept it that way.

Caang!

Rayman gently pushed his sword upward and kicked Marcel in the stomach with his foot.

“Kaak!”

Marcel let out a groan at the kicks so heavy that he couldn’t breathe for a moment, and rolled on the floor.

“Does this bastard dare to point his sword at the shooter?”

The blinded Rayman jumped on top of him and punched him one after another.

puck! puck! puck! puck!

The moment when the colleagues, startled by the bloody blow, belatedly kicked Rayman down and tried to trample Rayman.

“Are you interfering in a showdown between honorable knights?”

Ren murmured softly.

The semi-knights who heard this flinched and turned to Ren.

A battle of honorable knights.

In fact, this only applies to knight-level swordsmen. Where would the honor be for those who were not even appointed as quasi-knights?

Even so, if you dream of becoming a knight in the future, you shouldn’t get involved in a showdown between honorable knights.

In the first place, Ren just shouted that it was an honorable knight’s match, but at the moment, the semi-knights fell into trouble.

when they are thinking about what to do.

A man came forward, spat on the ground, and grabbed Ren by the collar.

“I said let’s see, so what are you doing interfering like this?”

“Am I a shooter?”

“I’m a shooter, what can I do!”

The man, frustrated by Ren’s impudence, raised his fist emotionally.

At the same time, a shallow smile spreads across Ren’s lips.

“What are you guys doing here!”

A voice from the entrance of the training ground.

At the same time, the pupils of the semi-knight who grabbed Ren’s collar shook like an earthquake.

“Ka, Khalid-sama?”

The one who entered was Khalid, who returned from the expedition first to report on the southern affairs in the royal castle.

Khalid suppressed his tiredness and entered the training ground in a loud commotion.

I’m already tired, but since the quasi-knights are making a fuss, my annoyance has doubled.

Khalid’s face hardened rapidly as he quickly scanned the inside of the training ground once.

‘wren? Those crazy bastards!”

Khalid’s mind flashed in an instant.

Semi-knights surround Ren and Rayman, and Rayman lies on the floor. Ren is caught by the collar.

Ren wouldn’t be the first to start a fight with them, so if it were a hundred, it would have come to this point because of the problems of the hundred semi-knights.

‘ha… … .’

If he put his mind to it, it wouldn’t take even a minute for Ren to slaughter a dozen people over there.

Not to mention, he is currently the favorite of the 3 princes and 1 princess.

I can’t imagine how angry the 3 princes will be if they find out about this situation.

Seeing this situation, Khalid himself gets excited about the fact that those quasi-knight nerds grabbed Ren by the collar.

“Ka, Khalid-nim!”

Marcel, whose face had doubled in size from being hit by Rayman, jumped up, grabbed the hilt of his sword with his left hand, and raised his right hand to his forehead to salute.

The rest of the semi-knights belatedly salute Khalid.

Originally, he would have already accepted the salute, but Khalid silently walked forward and struck the head of the semi-knight who had grabbed Ren by the collar.

puck!

“Big!”

“These crazy bastards!”

At Khalid’s unexpected reaction, the semi-knights looked at him with bewildered faces and lowered their heads.

“All Passionate!”

“yes!”

“Turn around.”

“yes!”

While the semi-knights stood in a row and made them turn around.

Khalid checked the condition of Ren and Rayman.

“Ren, are you okay?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

“What about Rayman?”

“I-I’m fine too.”

Rayman was bewildered by the situation.

It was because Khalid’s attitude, which was usually so strict, had completely changed.

“Damn, I’m sorry. Because of these guys as soon as we return to the expedition.”

“no. it’s okay.”

“me too! It’s okay!”

Marcel also did not understand this situation.

‘sh*t! What’s going on?’

Even among the knights of the royal family, Khalid, who belongs to the upper rank, is desperately in love with that gravekeeper.

Even more so, he seemed concerned about Rayman’s condition.

Obviously, because of the graveyard, Rayman seemed to be treated as well, but I couldn’t guess why.

‘what? What happened in the South this time?’

Marcel was curious about their relationship, but since he couldn’t figure it out, he suppressed his curiosity.

“Would you mind leaving first? Go soon.”

“yes.”

Khalid, who sent Ren and Rayman out of the training ground first, turned around with a cold expression on his face.

“Len Argen is a nobleman who sacrificed his life to save the lives of the 3 princes during this expedition. But how dare you guys intimidate such a nobleman?”

‘Damn it… … , of course.’

At Khalid’s words, the faces of the quasi-knights, including Marcel, suddenly turn pale.

“sorry!”

“Is it okay if I say I’m sorry?”

“sorry!”

A voice reverberates through the training ground.

It was the answer to live.

“It must be because you all have surplus strength. There is also the fault of the seniors who couldn’t manage you guys, so I won’t make a big issue about this.”

At Khalid’s words, the quasi-knights let out a sigh of relief.

“However, I need to fix that mental head. I’ll roll it properly so you don’t think about it in the future.”

Khalid was not the instructor in charge of their training, but this time he was going to meet the instructor in charge and seek it out properly.

“Today, I run 100 laps at the training ground with duck steps. Those who can’t, think they can’t go back.”

“A boat, a hundred laps… … .”

A semi-knight opened his mouth at the number beyond his imagination.

“Then let’s inform the third prince right away.”

“I’ll do it!”

“good. Everyone agreed, let’s begin.”

“yes!”

An answer full of enthusiasm.

How long can that passion last?

Khalid laughed inwardly.

“Ah, Marcel Carr.”

“yes!”

Marcel, who was walking hard with duck steps, answered.

“It is your responsibility to make sure these guys are walking. I’ll be gone, so check to see if you’ve filled the number of wheels on your own and report back. Check everything down to the last one and get off work.”

“I-I mean?”

“why? Are you dissatisfied? Then, shall I tell your family about this incident?”

“no! I will do it!”

“okay. check tomorrow If you get caught cheating, know how to double the amount of the day.”

“yes!”

Khalid left the training ground with those words.

Marcel, whose face was swollen, gritted his teeth and took a duck step.

“I know all those who fall behind will die!”

Marcel shouted as he fell the furthest behind.

To get back quickly, everyone had to run in unison.

Marcel and his teammates ducked around the training grounds every day for a while.

* * *

“Sorry. Because of me… … .”

“are you okay. You, a guy with good skills, why do you live with a guy like that?”

I wondered how he ended up like that, but he was demoted to Decaine because of the bully from the Kar family.

Looking at Rayman’s sword a moment ago, it seemed that I hadn’t been idle while I was back in the South.

The natural slashing of Marcel’s sword was such that the gap between Marcel and Rayman could be seen at a glance.

“I didn’t get hit.”

“… … Well, you were a hot-tempered guy too.”

Looking at it now, the attitude this guy has towards me is just amazing.

A guy who is so picky and nasty to other guys.

Well, he treated me like that at first too.

“sorry. To punish those guys.”

Khalid came out.

“it’s okay. But I know that the third prince is not here.”

“I came up first. One has to come and write the report first.”

“Ah yes.”

“Anyway, I’ll tell the prince separately.”

“You don’t have to.”

“We need to think about our position.”

“… … All right.”

I said that, but it’s rude to keep speculating.

“So Ren, why are you here?”

“I’m here to see the magistrate of Cormir.”

“Ah, did you come to see Cohen Travis?”

“yes.”

“her… … , Were you acquainted with the magistrate? That’s great.”

“I don’t know each other.”

“Anyway, go in. You will be inside.”

“yes.”

Khalid finished the light talk and left first.

“You go first. You worked hard all this time, so you can take a few days off.”

“No! How can I rest without shame?”

“There is no shame… … . Go in first today and rest. let’s talk tomorrow.”

“yep!”

After sending Rayman, I entered the royal castle.

Cohen Travis, the magistrate in charge of the royal domain of Kormir.

He is a person who is quite notorious in the royal family for being picky and picky.

An influential figure in the Travis family.

‘I just tell them to pass it on to someone else.’

Why did he have to go all the way to the royal castle to meet Cohen Travis?

Thinking about meeting that picky old man already makes me feel tired.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“This is Len Argen. May I come in?”

“Come in.”

A deep voice came from across the door.

Sigh.

When I open the door, I see an old man sitting in front of a desk and eagerly checking documents with a slight chill.

A slender physique and slightly visible wrinkles on the face.

Even the graying white hair between the black hair.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look that strong.

‘however… … , You mean that old man is a powerful person who even ignores Leighton Travis?’

A former master of the Travis family who said that even Layton, the head of the family, could fold.

I gulped and checked his status window.

‘Huh… … .’
