I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills

002. Reincarnation (2)

Is it said that the time of objects that move fast passes slowly compared to those that do not?

‘I’m going to die like this!’

Then it was clear that Hans’s time was passing noticeably slower than the others.

It is an early morning when the rain is pouring down. Ordinary people wouldn’t be afraid of bandits or monsters, going up and down lonely mountain roads, but Hans’ situation was a little different from those of ordinary people.

‘The devil, it must be the devil.’

After running away from the crime scene for so long that he started to vomit, Hans let out a rough breath.

Who would have imagined that?

The short robe incapable of neutralizing the young man with just a few finger points. Moreover, his hands were cruel, and it seemed obvious that his colleagues would live with disabilities for the rest of their lives.

“Kuheugh, God, how can you send such an ordeal?”

Hans, a looting and arsonist bandit, found God for the first time in his life.

The scene he saw was shocking, and it made Hans, who had no faith in his life, long for salvation.

“Keukkeuk.”

But didn’t Hans’s earnestness reach God?

Hans’ body had no choice but to stiffen like a stone statue at the ridicule that came from behind him.

Surely he ran away madly, kicking off his mana-filled legs without even breathing, so why did he hear that monster’s laughter coming from behind him?

“Where are you running away like that? This is the county of Wittelsbach.”

Hans’ face began to show fear and despair.

Although he was wearing a robe, he was probably a young boy given his short stature and youthful voice.

However, Hans shuddered, thinking that the substance must be that famous demon from the underworld.

*　*　*

Today, the count’s mansion was busy thanks to the busy workers.

The reason was simple. It is because the Marquis of Haruen, a distant relative of the Wittelsbach count family, visits the mansion.

The reason why the Marquis and his wife, who were distant relatives but were practically strangers, visited the mansion out of nowhere was simple. It must be that he wants to see his future son-in-law with his eyes, under the pretext of promoting friendship.

The life of an ordinary nobleman was mostly like this. It is a method of marrying an arranged marriage with a marriage partner decided by parents or family even before birth, and marrying as if being sold to the other person’s family when they are older.

Of course, in this case, the eldest son of Wittelsbach was not being sold, but the daughter of the Marquis Haruen, a high-ranking aristocrat.

“…… Are you nervous?”

“No.”

“You are truly mature.”

Berris let out a deep yawn despite the exclusive maid’s tone, which was a little stiffer than usual.

“Are you tired?”

“Yeah, I haven’t been able to sleep lately.”

“Sleep is important. Get a good night’s sleep so you can grow taller later.”

At the maid’s words, Veris couldn’t help but laugh.

Even though she was an exclusive maid, the age difference between this girl and Berris was not that great. No, on the contrary, if you add up the age of your previous life, you look like a child in his eyes.

But maybe it’s because there are more maids at her age now, I felt her attitude toward her younger brother was kind of cute.

“But what can I do? Extermination cannot be postponed.”

“Yes?”

Veris indifferently shook her head at Arwen, the maid who asked back with an innocent expression.

Arwen was a girl far from an ordinary maid in a mansion.

First of all, unlike other humans, her ears were long, and she possessed overwhelming magical power and intellect that was unusual in terms of status.

Yes. This Arwen maid girl was an elf.

A merchant who tried to run a slave trade in the county without fear was attacked by the family’s knights.

In the process of escaping, she suffered an indelible wound in her heart, but she persisted as a girl. Towards the future.

Isn’t that a pretty picture to look at? Well, putting that backstory aside, it was funny how she treats herself like a cute little brother to the subject that she’s also a child.

“If no one accepts you later, come to me. I will live with you for the rest of my life.”

“Yes, yes? What is that…… !”

“I’m not kidding. Kick kick.”

After expressing my opinion as simply as it was futile, Veris, after adjusting her clothes, leaves her room.

However, Arwen, whose soul was completely lost by the bold boy’s boastful words, could only blankly stare at her master’s back.

“Really… ….”

Despite her heart pounding, Arwen couldn’t help but smile softly.

She knew.

The reason why the slave trader who had captured her past was discovered by the knights was because of a witnessed story of a boy younger than her.

And after a while.

Time passed and the sun rose in the middle of the sky.

It was late noon when the marquis and his wife arrived.

Even at first glance, she must have wanted to advertise that ‘I’m not a commoner.’ Veris couldn’t help but shine her eyes at the sight of her marquis getting off the luxurious two-headed wagon boasting a brilliant brilliance.

Thanks to the exterior of her luxurious carriage, I expected her to look fat and money-oriented, but when she got off the carriage, the middle-aged man looked like a well-forged sword.

It was his wife, the Marquis, who followed the Marquis. Even though she is middle-aged, she has a shiny face and expensive jewelry, probably thanks to her hard work.

And finally, a girl and a boy got out of the carriage. The little children of the same age as Berry’s were clinging to her father and mother and looking around for a long time, as if they were timid even though they were the sons of great nobles.

“Welcome, Your Excellency, Marquis Dmitry.”

“It’s been a while, Count Verden. On the way, I can’t help but believe your words that the county of Wittelsbach is a good place to live.”

“I’m just grateful that you’ve looked at it favorably. Lunch is ready, so please go in.”

“Good. Let’s go in and say hello. I want you to say hello to the Countess as well.”

After exchanging friendly greetings, the Count and Marquis slowly started walking toward the banquet hall. In the process, the two wives briefly introduced themselves, and Veris, who followed them, couldn’t help but shine her eyes.

‘He looks like a real nobleman.’

In fact, it is Berris who has only seen nobles since her birth, her two parents and Baron Sellum. However, as she watched the conversation in the aristocratic world so naturally, she felt something tickling in her.

“Um, over there… ….”

“Huh?”

“Ah, hello Seok…… Awesome!”

It was the girl who got off with the Marquis who stopped Berrys who was walking while listening to the conversation between the two couples walking hahahahahoho with interest.

Unfortunately, the girl who mustered up a lot of courage stopped Berris, but perhaps because of the excessive tension, she chewed her tongue and shed tears before introducing herself.

What is this cute thing?

To be honest, when it comes to the son of a great nobleman, I was thinking of a loud and fussy impression, but seeing this, I don’t think that’s the case again.

“Noo, noona!”

A little shorter boy looked at his sister in surprise. The boy looked back and forth between Berry’s and her girl’s eyes as if he had committed a major offense, then bowed her head and greeted Berry’s.

“Nice to meet you. I am Gunther of the Haruen family, the son of Marquis Dmitry.”

“…… This is Beatrice from the same family.”

“Nice to meet you. It is Berries of Wittelsbach.”

Berris has an excessively short tone. Since they are descendants of nobles, they don’t have titles, so it was funny to discuss the status of high and low, but…….

In any case, she spoke in a way that no ordinary aristocrat would do. When he said it out loud, Gunther and Beatrice just looked at Veris with surprised faces.

And the evil Veris didn’t miss that fleeting moment.

‘…… Oh?’

Veris, who quickly scanned the abilities of the two, let out a small exclamation.

First of all, one is specialized in the physical world and the other in the magical world, enough to make one wonder if the two are siblings. And considering that she was still young, perhaps thanks to her outstanding talent, she boasted a figure that was not low at all.

Among them, the unique thing was Beatrice’s abilities.

Like a magic-specialized character who gave up all of his physical abilities, aren’t his stats excluding intellect and magic power miserable? Well, strength and agility were not important to wizards, but this was too severe at the very least.

“Let’s go inside.”

A hard tone pops up once again.

However, even though it was performed by a child, it was strangely powerful, so Gunther and Beatrice could only nod their heads in silence.

* * *

A mansion in the late afternoon.

The count and the marquis were drinking with a friend they hadn’t seen in a long time, even though the sun hadn’t even set yet, and Beatrice and Gunther were roaming around the mansion like duck eggs in the Nakdong River.

The funny thing is that Veris, who deserves to be their guide, doesn’t show up for some time. Therefore, it was up to the head of the mansion to treat the two young nobles.

“Where the hell is he?”

Looking at the handsome fountain in the mansion, Gunther murmured blankly.

But Beatrice doesn’t know Veris’s whereabouts either. The girl responded by simply shaking her head.

Beatrice felt like letting out a sigh.

Even though it was a marriage contract in which not a single drop of their will was entered into, she did not feel the slightest bit of tenderness from Veris, who was looking at her.

“Starting today, Berrys is my idol.”

“Suddenly?”

While Beatrice was sighing alone like that, Beatrice couldn’t help but put on an absurd expression at her sister’s sudden declaration.

To be honest, the only conversation I had all day today was to exchange a few words of greeting. But on what grounds does this brazen little boy discuss idols?

Gunther, who is said to be his younger brother but has had an eccentric personality from the past, somehow lost his blank expression, and his eyes were shining brightly.

“It’s cool. He seems like a really cool guy. I want to be a real man like him.”

“Huh?”

“Sister, don’t back down on this engagement.”

“Is that so?”

It was a confident voice for her younger brother who didn’t even know what marriage or engagement was and had only recently learned what it meant. Normally, I would have dismissed it as the bullsh*t of a cheerful younger brother.

“Berrys is the best. The most wonderful man in the world.”

As if possessed by something, Beatrice only looked at her sister who had lost her mind with a worried look.
