chapter 14
Chapter 014. don’t you hurry up
“My eldest mother? Who is the aunt?”
Confused by Aaron’s greeting, Janice frowned.
I thought he would run away, intimidated by the majesty of the huge carriage and knight, but he came out so shamelessly.
Perhaps it was because he lived as a slave, he didn’t even notice.
“Ah, it looks like you didn’t hear me because you were absent. I became part of Odd Haken a few weeks ago. I kept thinking that I couldn’t see you, but I’m glad to see you now. Best of luck in the future, Uncle Mother.”
In response to Janice’s cold reply, Aaron did not flinch and added a word.
I didn’t forget to put emphasis on the word eldest mother at the end.
“… … under!”
Janice fanned busily with a puzzled expression.
Inside, she was boiling with anger, but as the hostess of Odd Haken, she couldn’t treat Aaron, who had become a young master, carelessly.
If he had a poor tone or manners, he would find fault with him somehow, but somehow his attitude was flawless.
“You really did not notice like a lowly person.”
As Janice was speechless, Zeke stepped forward.
He is the future head of this family.
There was no need to pay attention to the knights like Zenith, and there was no need to be polite to Aaron.
‘To meet like this from the beginning. I wish I had known in advance.’
Gardi gently closed his eyes as if he had come.
I wanted to keep the two apart, but I couldn’t.
It was a big problem in itself for a vassal who served the family to intervene in a fight between the young masters.
All he could do was pray that this situation would pass safely.
“You are Zecro. I heard a lot of stories from my father.”
A few seconds later, Aaron, who had been staring at Zeke, stretched out his hand with a big smile.
A natural attitude, as if he would pretend he didn’t hear what he just said.
Zeke’s eyebrows twitched.
‘… … What are we going to do now?’
Usually, when we hear an insult like this, we respond with abusive language, but Aaron did not.
When Aaron couldn’t stand the insult and got excited, he thought it was right and tried to trample on him, but it came out like this, which was very embarrassing.
“Such patience at an age where blood is boiling.”
“I thought you were talented, but your personality is not average.”
“As expected, it’s because you had a hard time when you were young, so it’s different.”
The knights who were watching from a distance quietly whispered as he smiled and extended his hand despite the insult beyond the line.
It was then that Zeke realized what Aaron was thinking.
‘This foxy bastard… … !’
With that word just now, Aaron became a mature and deep-seated older brother for his age, and Zeke became a character-breaker who poured out bad words without courtesy when he first met.
Zeke was quick-witted, but he wasn’t used to such a complex number fight.
So, even if he knew what situation he was in, he was somewhat clumsy in leading it.
“What you just said was a mistake because my son was tired from the long journey, so pretend you didn’t hear it.”
It was none other than Janice who helped Zeke, who was at a loss for what to do.
She put an emphasis on the word ‘my son’, subtly implying that Aaron and Zeke are different beings.
Aaron tilted his head with an innocent expression.
“Uncle Mother, I haven’t heard anything. There’s no way the great Oddhaken’s successor would ever say something rude about the first time he met him, saying he didn’t notice because he was mean to his older brother.”
“… … .”
Janice pursed her lips at Aaron’s unexpected words and hurriedly opened her fan.
He hid his expression belatedly, but he couldn’t hide his bewilderment.
‘Did the young master have a side like this?’
Gardi looked at Aaron with bright eyes.
Standing in front of Janice and Zeke, you might have a little bit of a sense of entitlement that you have lived as slaves for the rest of your life, but Aaron laughed and spat out words like a dagger without any sign of that.
He had not only physical talents, but also the ability to read and deal with situations.
“The flow seems to have stopped, so let me formally introduce it once again. Nice to meet you, Zeke. I am Aaron, who became your older brother a few weeks ago. Let’s get along well in the future.”
Aaron held out his hand again.
It was a gesture that seemed to be trying to cover up his younger sister’s bad words as just a trivial grievance.
Zeke looked at Janice with clenched fists trembling.
But Janice couldn’t afford to help her son as she was venting her anger behind a debt.
“okay.”
Zeke, who glared at Aaron for a moment, forced a smile and held his outstretched hand.
‘Slaves who don’t even know the subject. I won’t let you hold a fork for a while.’
Zeke looked straight at Aaron’s smiling face and gave strength to his mouth.
He did not waste time at the count’s house.
It’s a watermelon, but I learned how to practice mana, and I also knew how to use the mana accumulated in my body to strengthen my strength.
It wouldn’t be much of a challenge to break the hand of this slick slave if he decided and gave it his strength.
‘… … what?’
Zeke, trying to squeeze Aaron’s hand as hard as he could, realized something was wrong.
To apply force, you need to collect mana, but the hand that shook hands did not collect mana.
No matter how hard he tried, the mana that was heading to his hand through his veins returned the way he came from as if something was blocking it near his wrist.
It was as if there was a curtain that blocked mana only there.
“Your hands are so rough. It looks like you trained hard.”
‘Turisaz.’
Aaron pretended to examine Zeke’s hand and muttered rune language.
‘What power… … .’
Zeke frowned at the strong pressure on his hands.
I couldn’t use mana, so I tried to overcome it somehow by force, but it was useless.
Aaron’s grip was tough and firm, like that of a legendary giant.
Even the knights who taught him in the Count’s family would not be able to develop such strength without mana.
“Ugh.”
Zeke finally let out a groan, unable to overcome the pain.
I tried to hold on to the thought that if I showed signs of being pushed here, I would be looked down on, but I felt like my hands would really break if I continued like this.
“hmm? Why are you doing that? Where are you uncomfortable?”
As if waiting, Aaron pulled Zeke’s hand roughly.
“… … !”
Zeke wanted to scream, but he couldn’t bear it because he had a lot of eyes, so he pretended to be calm and pointed at the hand he was holding.
“Hey, this… … .”
“You must have injured your hand while training! What hard training!”
Instead of releasing his hand, however, Aaron gripped it even tighter.
Woodeuk-
Finally, the sound of bones twisting came from the tightly squeezed hands.
Zeke’s mouth fell open.
“Ugh! Let go! Let go! Let go of this!”
“Forgetting your injuries and focusing on training! I feel ashamed of myself for ending it moderately every time because it was difficult!”
“What bullsh*t! Can’t you hurry up?”
Zeke forgot his face and slapped Aaron’s hand awkwardly.
Only then did Aaron let go of his hand with an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry, brother. If I had known you were hurt, I would not have asked for a handshake.”
Aaron put on an expression of sincere apology, as if he were about to shed tears.
‘You made it like this, madman!’
Zeke glared at Aaron, holding his throbbing hand.
I wanted to swear right away, but if I did it now, it would only make me a laughing stock.
Who would believe me if I said that a kid who trained for just a few weeks made him like this after years of training at the Count’s family?
Inside, I thought my clothes would burst and I would die, but for now I had no choice but to keep quiet.
“Brother Zeke. It’s also not in very good condition to me. Where did you get hurt?”
Gardi approached cautiously and asked.
He saw clearly what had just happened, but did not bother to point it out.
Whatever the situation, Zeke is also the son of Odd Haken.
No matter how rude he was, it wasn’t good to cut his prestige further here.
“I-I sprained it slightly during swordsmanship training two days ago.”
Sieg did not refuse Gardi’s helping hand.
Gardi nodded with a serious face.
“I guess you hid the injury so that your wife would be worried.”
“Yes, yes.”
Zeke looked at Janice and nodded.
However, Janice kept her mouth shut as if she had already noticed the whole situation.
The two eyes slightly exposed above the fan seemed to burn with fire.
“As a son, his concern for his mother is unparalleled. But the young master is a person who will become a great knight in the future. You know that hands are like life to a knight, right? No matter how small the wound on the hand is, it is better to treat it quickly.”
Gardi opened the way once again.
In fact, that level of injury is at the level where the bones are slightly surprised by excessive pressure, so it disappears as if it was washed after waking up.
However, if it ends like this, Janice and Zeke’s face will be crumpled, so they wrapped it with filial piety.
“You didn’t know your son was so sick. It hurts my heart that I couldn’t fulfill my responsibilities as a mother.”
Janice spoke gracefully, trying to hide her rotting insides.
“Sir Gardy, thank you for caring. I almost kept not knowing.”
“It was nothing.”
“Then we’ll just go in. To treat my son’s wounds.”
“yes. Take a look.”
Janice, Zeke, and their attendants left the place as if they were running away after leaving a short greeting.
“Did I do well?”
Aaron asked as he watched Zeke walk away.
Zeke, who glanced back at him, made eye contact with him and hurriedly removed his gaze.
Gardi shook his head with a complicated expression.
“I can’t argue right or wrong. Both of them are precious to me. but.”
“but?”
“Please don’t hate Master Zeke too much.”
Seeing Zeke, Gardi’s eyes were filled with pity.
“All right. If Kyeong says so, there must be something wrong. I am lacking, but I will try my best to be a great older brother.”
“hahahaha. I knew you would say that. Then, the Bocchan will go in as well. The year will fall like this.”
Gardi grinned and raised his head.
Twilight was gathering from beyond the reddish horizon.
* * *
“Tell me your fault.”
“Yes, mother. I lost to half the crap.”
“Tell me your fault.”
“Yes, mother. I lost to a kid who couldn’t even handle mana.”
“Tell me your fault.”
“Yes, mother. To a slave who has been mining or digging for over 10 years… … .”
“Your fault… … your fault… … You worthless bastard!”
slam!
Janice, who was restlessly moving around the room, waved her hand in anger.
thud!
The woman’s finger stabbing sword, which could not even handle mana, was just itchy, but Zeke pretended not to win and fell to the side.
It was because I knew that her eyes would go back if I held on and stood there saying it didn’t hurt.
“sorry. mother.”
After falling helplessly, Zeke jumped up again and stood in front of Janice.
Janice raised her hands again with a sigh, then clenched her fists and calmed herself.
“The excuse you made earlier, try again.”
“Mana did not accumulate. I tried to collect mana and break his hand, but I couldn’t.”
“Lord Rhaast. Is it true what this kid is saying?”
Janice asked while looking at the silver-gap knight standing next to her.
The man called Raastra was wearing a helmet even though he was indoors.
“hmm.”
He looked at Zeke with a drool as if he knew what it was, and after a while he opened his mouth.
“I don’t know.”
