Resurrected Immortal 576

Chapter 576 – 576. Trial of the Lioness (2)

The night of the day when there was a lot of commotion.
Lyod, who was holding Theresia lying in her arms in her arms, asked.

“Theresia. Are you really thinking of giving Eira the Cha Hanseong?”

“Well. Wouldn’t that be up to you?”

“…”

Riod did not answer Theresia’s question with a smile on her face.
She was troubled by her wife’s comment that if she liked it, pretending to lose was one of the possibilities.
The condition for teaching Cha Han-seong his swordsmanship is for him to grow to a level where he can even brush his collar in sparring with himself.
Riod had the confidence not to show even such a small gap to Cha Han-seong, who was still only a son.
He himself is the best knight in the kingdom, while his opponent is a low-level knight member who has barely escaped the rookie of the knights order.
Except for the personal feelings of being a junior who is close to his daughter, he had no intention of confronting him hand-to-hand.
In other words, even though Theresia set out her condition, the decision to accept a man named Cha Han-seong or not depended on Rio de.

“Still, I didn’t see him as such a bad person.”

Even if it was a special case, it wasn’t much different from the fact that a member of the lower ranks of the knights came to the duke’s mansion alone and asked the captain of the knights alone to ask for something, committing a great rudeness.
Although she pointed out that and savagely pushed Cha Han-seong, Theresia seemed to like a man named Cha Han-seong quite apart from him.
He is a man who knew how to be ashamed of his levity, and who knew how to bow his head and apologize.
Besides, he thinks of Eira differently.

“And you can’t break Eira’s stubbornness.”

There are no parents who beat their children.
His upright disposition, which never gave up on things he couldn’t understand who he resembled, was exactly like Leo De.

“…”

“If that was possible, she might have stopped Eira from becoming her knight. And… Ayra is my daughter.”

In addition, he resembles his wife, Theresia, and even overflows with his acting power.

“If she comes back with a baby in her womb, just like me when he was young, what will she do?”

It was the worst home I could ever imagine.
When Theresia had Eira in her stomach due to her own actions, she is a hero, but she, as a baron, must have endured so much anger towards Theresia’s father.

“You aren’t too tied down by your status or position, are you?”

In the first place, despite holding the honorable title of a hero at the time, Lyod, who was merely a baron, was able to marry Theresia, a daughter of her count’s family, despite her father’s objections, and Theresia, who gave birth to Riod’s child. ‘S reckless behavior is the decisive cause.
If Eira, his daughter, had acted recklessly like her wife, Theresia, Riod would not have the confidence to withstand the shock.

“… It doesn’t.”

He had no desire to succeed himself, Theresia, or in fact any longer.
She had already been given the title of duke, the highest title in her kingdom, and the journey she had made so far was only to protect her own people, and she had no intention of going any further.
She had no intention of forcing Eira to marry her children to sons of other nobles in order to gain more power.
I just want to find someone who can make me happy and live happily ever after.
In fact, in that respect, the status or origin of Cha Han-seong does not matter at all.
The reason why Riode was wary of Cha Han-seong was that she was not ready to let go of Eira, who had grown up.

“So you’ll have to get her ready soon.”

Theresia’s condition to Cha Han-seong was also a message to her husband, Rio de.
If you don’t like it, get rid of it.
But if she admits Cha Han-seong, she at least accepts it as if she can’t win and prepares her mind.
Riod was forced to nod his head and sigh helplessly at his wife’s mediation.

◆ ◆ ◆

After a long platoon training camp where she rotated inside the knights, Eira returned to her home after a few weeks with her tired body.
And when she was not confident in Theresia, she came to Cha Han-seong, and as soon as she heard the contents of her conversation with Liode, her face turned red and she was embarrassed.

“Well, something like that…”

“I want to be strong because I want to protect the person I love. How simple and pure is it?”

“Stop… Please play me. Mother…”

Ayra lowered her head, unable to lift her head in embarrassment.
Unlike her recent dignified appearance as she became a knight following her father, Theesia inadvertently wants to make fun of her more when she sees her daughter like a girl she hasn’t seen in a very long time.

“So. What do you think?”

“Yes?”

“I really intend not to stop him if he fulfills my conditions. On the contrary, I might be able to help.”

“…”

“But the most important thing is Ayra, it’s your thoughts.”

For Cha Han-seong to receive recognition from Riod and formally learn swordsmanship, it literally means that Cha Han-seong becomes a member of the Duke of Olivion’s family.
Thinking that she or her husband, Riod, might have guessed and acted first, the first thing she asked was Eira.
In the most obvious form, her marriage to Eira was likely, leaving the situation as an assumption, but Theresia, in another form, said that if Eira did not want it, she would make Cha Han-sung a member of the duke’s family. There was also a willingness to meet.

“I-I…”

Eira hesitated to answer her Theresia’s question.
Theresia put on a puzzled look at her daughter’s hesitant expression with a complex expression on her face.
Although she is a knight, like other daughters of noble families, she might be aware of the idea that she should solidify her family’s foundation through her arranged marriage.

“Getting married right away is a bit…”

“… Huh?”

“I haven’t even been in a proper relationship yet…”

Eira’s hesitation is because Erin, her close sister, has popped into her mind.
She couldn’t have a proper wedding, but Erin, who was in the middle of a relationship, was jealous of Eira.
Unofficially, Erin, who became Eun-hyeon’s wife and is loved by her, makes her look warm to see as a woman like her, but also makes her desire to enjoy that kind of happiness herself.

“Whoop, whoop.”

Theresia burst into laughter as she saw Aira, who was showing her girlish sensibility contrary to her own expectations.

“Ooh, don’t laugh. Mother… !”

“Anyway, it seems that my daughter doesn’t hate that man named Cha Han-seong that much?”

“Oops!”

Ayra shrugged her shoulders and gave her a look that caught her off guard.
Not just marriage, but wanting to spend time slowly through dating meant that he didn’t hate Cha Han-sung that much either.
Eira, who turned her head away from Theresia in her embarrassment, let out a small sigh.

“Whoa…”

In order not to be swayed by her mother’s mischievous pranks, she somehow regained her composure and quickly changed her subject.

“So… Where are your father and Hanseong?”

Theresia smiled and explained where Riod and Cha Han-seong had gone.

◆ ◆ ◆

In the mountains where no one has come, the two knights wield each other’s swords and are engaged in a fierce battle.

Kaaang!

Cha Han-seong’s training iron sword, which had squeezed out all the mana it possessed and pressed it to the limit of what was permissible, collided with Riod’s sword.
Even though it was the best attack he could show, Riod, who received it, showed no movement.
Rather, he receives Cha Han-seong’s sword, which possesses terrifying physical power, as if cutting a tree branch, and unleashes a fierce counterattack while swinging the sword.

“Keugh!?”

Even though it was his own side that attacked, he could only defend against Riod’s fiercely stabbing counterattack.
In addition, perhaps because the attack was not fully offset, the shock caused Cha Han-seong’s body to fly in the air.
Cha Hanseong, who had fallen to the floor in a parabolic curve, hurriedly regained his stance in the air and absorbed the impact of the collision with the floor while adopting a fall posture.

“Whoa…”

Cha Hanseong knelt on the floor, leaning on his iron sword for support, breathing evenly.
In the meantime, he continued to ponder over and over again, but he couldn’t find an answer, so he was filled with frustration.

‘What do we do?’

This is already the 17th today.
The number of failed attacks by Hansung Cha.
Cha Han-seong bit his lip as he looked up at Riod, which was like an impregnable fortress that could not be demolished.
In addition, even though he is holding a steel sword for training, not for actual combat, he has the spirit that makes him feel anxious that his limbs may be cut off if he is wrong.

‘This is the best knight in the kingdom…’

It wasn’t that I didn’t know.
However, the moment you feel that spirit that makes your whole body tingle, it makes you realize it again.
Just because he learns the swordsmanship he uses doesn’t mean he can become him.
Cha Han-seong himself couldn’t explain it properly, but his eyes are very good.
So, he was able to reproduce the tolerable swordsmanship used by others by seeing it with his own two eyes and learning it, and by repeating making it his own, he had become stronger until now.
Not only that, but as much as he became stronger after watching and copying Riod’s swordsmanship during his training, he was convinced that if he could learn the sword from Riod, he would become even stronger.

‘I was wrong…’

But now that confidence has been shattered.
It was because he realized that Riod’s swordsmanship he had seen so far was only a small part of it.
The more you clash swords, block attacks, and receive counterattacks, the more you realize it.
The hours of perseverance he had accumulated to rise to the present state, the effort and depth melted into his swordsmanship far exceeded the level he could reproduce.
Riod’s swordsmanship was definitely not easy to see.
However, the moment he realizes that the reality of what he is trying to learn is like a huge mountain and sea that he cannot embrace.
Cha Han-seong had to feel as if his breath was being choked.
But will he give up here and go back?

‘I can never do that.’

This was an opportunity.
You can’t miss an opportunity that is overflowing with fountains that can take you to a higher place.
Cha Hanseong swallowed again and took a posture.
That’s the same stance Leo is taking.
From the shape of the hand holding the sword, to the ability to step forward with one foot and jump forward at any time, the posture to tense the body to respond to any attack.

“Huh!”

Finally, Cha Han-sung rushed toward Riod again.
