Chapter 1023 – What Is the Right Heart?
In a space where a babbling stream flows, a water lily suddenly appeared beside the priestess who was looking up at the sky with her bare feet dipped in the brook as usual.
“Two officers betrayed me.”
The priestess nodded her head at Su-ryun’s sudden words.
“Yes.”
Soo-ryun raised her eyebrows at her carefree attitude.
“Did you foresee this too?”
“No.”
The priestess shook her head and immediately smiled faintly.
“But the fact that I couldn’t see it means that there was nothing to foresee.”
“…”
“Eight days. That person gave that information. Even if you knew the secret of the Heart family, you couldn’t help it. It’s a story built up over the years.”
Su-ryun was still speechless.
But even this time, she thought Dre couldn’t help it.
It is a long-ago mistake that there is no way to do anything with force.
“We just have to wait happily for their feud.”
Even while agreeing with the priestess, Su-ryun couldn’t let go of her shaky thoughts.
Is this feeling anxiety?
Or not…

“Oh, how dare I say anything to my lord? I just wanted to connect with my daughter, if she’s interested.”
“Yes, yes…”
“I’m serious! Lately, that damn butler has been subtly being blatant…”
The afterword was almost self-talk.
Butler…?
Ah. There was a butler next to Ixia.
“Oh, bye. Words leaked out. Anyway, the 2nd or 3rd generation of the Boyd family had something to say about the Heart family.”
“2 vs. 3…?”
The second generation is like the time when Brave took the names of ten heroes out of the history books.
Increasing credibility…?
“Well. Even so, it was nothing special.”
“Tell me quickly!”
His ability to tease people is outstanding.
Mr. Euclid said with a smile.
“Hearts are filthy children of traitors. They will pay the price of blood someday.”
“…”
I was dumbfounded for a moment.
“Dirty traitor bastards…?”
“I’m sorry. There was nothing more to say.”
“…”
Betrayer.
Blood price.
I recalled ‘guessing’ again and erased it.
“I think he only made a meaningful statement because of Boyd’s second grader Ryunar.”
“Is that so… Oh, Mr. Euclid. I have one more favor to ask of you.”
“Just say anything.”
I asked Mr. Euclid to act as a third force whose intentions were difficult to grasp, saying that Ulysse was alive and that he would send him back soon.
It is to reassure the gold.
I’m grateful for Uliss’ discomfort, but I don’t want Gold to feel insecure.
It must have been disturbing for a while.
Mr. Euclid is well versed in his familiars and alter egos, so he will deliver the information that Julis is safe without being caught.
“Okay, lord. We’ll do it right away.”
Gurg ruck. Mr. Euclid disappeared with the black hole.
Left alone, I scratched my hair.
Originally, I was going to do the Hest main quest at this time, but it got twisted in many ways.
The Hart family are filthy traitors…
What is a secret?
If. Really maybe
If my guess is correct…?
I shook my head with a mixed feeling.
Just because you’re impatient doesn’t mean you can learn the heart family’s secret, so let’s change things up.
First. Shall we go see Madorana?
I guess I didn’t even eat properly.
As I remembered, I went straight to Madora.
As expected, she was studying without eating.
When I pick up the food, it opens its mouth like a baby bird and continues to study.
A happy heart and a strong desire to hit the back of the head swirl together.
Come to think of it, I think he could make a magic tool that feeds him even during research…?
“Yum yum. Ah. Come to think of it, her grandmother said it was okay to come~”
“…? Ah.”
She told Madora that she wanted to see her grandmother.
“She told me it was okay to come anytime!”
Madora said that it was Kim, her friend, and gave her address.
“Thank you.”
“Hehe. I’m giving you a reward for your work!!”
“Ohh. What do you want?”
“It’s money!”
Haha. Such a snobbish year.
“But do you need money? Is the research fee supported by the Hart family not enough?”
“Ummm~~ They’ll get you anything you ask, but the delivery time is too late. That’s why I want to buy it myself!!”
Delivery time is delayed…?
The Heart family, which holds the upper limit, sends it directly, but can it be?
…I remember suddenly that Madora had strangely gained weight.
It might be because of my mood, but I got the feeling that the Hart family was strangely interfering with her research.
But why?
Didn’t her gal pay attention to the business value of the invention she was developing as a merchant?
Again, speculation tumbles through her brain.
She said, trying to erase her assumptions.
“Okay Madora. Tell me what you need and I’ll get it for you.”
I don’t think he’ll even go out himself even if I give him money. I am worried that if I go out, I will be lost.
“Wow! That’s convenient!”
“In return, I will also demand compensation.”
“Eh. That’s something I don’t like…”
“If you don’t like it, there is no money.”
“It’s a bitch…”
I asked for a shoulder massage as compensation.
In fact, the massage is an excuse, and I do it to sleep quietly while letting it rest.
If I don’t sleep now, I think he’ll collapse soon.
The night I put Madora to sleep.
I met the queen after a long time in the sex room of mind and time.
She asked if he knew anything about the Sunhart family’s secrets, except for the most recent story, which was difficult to tell.
The queen made a troubled face, as if she hadn’t noticed anything.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Dre. I didn’t hear anything.”
“No. I’m sorry for bothering you.”
The head office moved and put pressure on the Heart family. Gald’s reaction to him was strange, and since Julis was reaching out like that, it was clear that the Hart family had a deep secret.
However, no matter what literature you search, there is no mention of secrecy that is difficult to even infer.
Come to think of it, Brave said that he made a ‘deal’ with Heart to clear the hero’s name.
…
Damn. His guess. It keeps popping up, really.
When I was irritated with myself, the queen said.
“The only thing I know for sure about the Ten Heroes is that they got their power from Fryunar.”
“Ah. Come to think of it, it was.”
This is a fact that I confirmed while progressing through the main quest.
Pryunar created unique Ryunars for the ten heroes, and that is what has been handed down to this day.
But when the queen looked at me and noticed, she opened her mouth.
“Yes. Everyone who has done a little research on the ten heroes knows this story. But there is a surprising fact that people don’t know about. Do you know what it is?”
The queen spoke with an excited face, so I took a stand and listened.
This person’s eyes shine when he talks about history. It’s nice to see.
“Ryunar from a teenage family tends to be most effective when used by a direct lineage, but surprisingly, it seems that anyone can learn it.”
“Uh… Is that so?”
“Yes. Actually, there is a record of having Daryl’s son-in-law learn the unique Ryunar.”
Come to think of it, it seems that the Knights of the Heart family used to use their unique Ryunar well.
“As I said before, direct lineage has the highest efficiency, but it’s a treasure of a teenage family. Artifacts say that you don’t have to be a direct line if you’re only using basic performance without drawing out true power.”
“!”
That’s the first time i’ve heard of it
“The exact usage condition is to learn the unique Ryunar to the limit.”
“Aha.”
It is practically impossible to use it unless you are a direct descendant.
This is because ordinary people seem to have difficulty in the deepening process, even though they can acquire it.
Also, from the point of view of a teenage family, there would be no way they would do anything that would shake their position by having a stranger learn the unique Ryunar to the extreme.
However, the second condition the queen said was a bit odd.
“The second is to be recognized as a hero.”
“Hero…?”
“Whoops. I’m not sure what it means. Actually. This condition is only handed down in the literature. There is no right answer. However, it is a message left by the ten heroes himself. A lot of people have tried to interpret the meaning…! !”
I listened to all the Queen’s words with interest.
Is it because of the mood? It seems that the queen is becoming more and more friendly in the eyes she sees me.
Happy.
After I broke up with the queen, I hugged Lope-chan and went to bed after a two-hour phone call with my goddess Mei-Chi.
[You must come to my house next time oppa? Macy and mom also said they wanted to see oppa.]
“…Think about it.”
I am hugging Rope-chan and I am not clear even after hearing the voice of the goddess.
It’s because of his secrets and the speculations that keep wandering around.
I guess I’ll have to visit Mr. Frostia tomorrow.
If there is a person who knows the best about the ten heroes around me, he must be him.
…A guess is just a guess.
Might be able to check it out tomorrow.
[Kid.]
…
[Perhaps your guess is correct.]
Hearing the disgraceful voice in my sleep, I denied it.
It can’t be.
It won’t be.
***
“You said you held Ulis…?”
Gold kicks his tongue and throws the letter on the table.
“I tried to track down the sender of the letter, but I lost track of it. It’s so novel.”
“It seemed to be able to move through space very freely.”
Refeld and Kaisir’s report.
Along with a photo of Ulis, who had disappeared not long ago, he even came with a note saying that he would return it in two days.
It was also said that if he tried to find her before sending her back, she would not be safe.
“To have that level of novelty and dare to leave behind their traces must be really trying to send Ulith back…”
Gold murmured.
It was uncomfortable, but it didn’t seem like the enemy was telling lies.
‘Two days later.’
Maybe it wasn’t to send them back, it might be a ploy to buy them two days, but even if they searched for Ulith from now on, it was unclear whether they would be able to find her against this new enemy.
I had no choice but to believe it.
However. It wasn’t just being dragged blindly.
Gold. With his characteristic sense, he sensed in this letter the presence of a familiar and trustworthy man.
“…Ulysse should be put off for a while.”
Gold muttered in a voice mixed with reassurance, and made a determined face.
“My father is coming back tomorrow.”
The anxious faces of the two knight commanders.
Gold said in a stern voice.
“You guys don’t follow me. I’ll meet my father alone.”
I will meet you and ask you.
Why did you kill the family knights?
Also… About the ‘secret’.
***
The next morning. I went to the academy early.
You should also ask about secrets. Also, my Frostia-sama said she wanted to see me, so of course I should come see her.
[Dre. I believe you will do well this time.]
…
In this case, don’t use your original tone while lowering your voice. You crazy black-eyed weed.
Inside the cathedral. When I entered Mullin’s room, Frostyam was sitting in his chair, looking at me with a triumphant look on his face.
For reference, Mullin is sleeping on her side on the bed next to her. Blond hair glistening in the sunlight is dazzling.
I want to block that bitch’s nose while she’s sleeping, but I’ll put up with it because Frostia-sama is my priority right now.
“Come on! Sit down!”
Frostia-sama patted the seat next to her.
I sat down next to her, as the Noble One ordered.
Just before watching a movie, leaning on each other like usual. Seeing how excited Frostia was, something suddenly came to my mind.
“Not too long ago, I received a cumulus stone from the mistress of the human world.”
The ore that Skaldia gave along with the territory.
I heard that it was a very rare and powerful ore, so I thought about making a weapon later, but in fact, the sword Heston made is enough for my weapon now.
“Hmm…? Ah. Is that metal?”
After researching, I heard that it is a rare mineral, so you can earn enough money for two generations to play and eat just by selling it.
I decided to dedicate this to Meichi and Frostia.
“Sooner or later, I’ll make a ring or earrings with it. But, in case, accessories…”
“Likes!!”
Frostyim put his hands on my lap and thrust his face very close.
My heart skipped a beat at the beautiful face.
Is this… I can kiss you?
[Moderation.]
…Yes.
“When will you give it to me!!”
“I think it will be difficult to make, so it will take a while.”
He is also in the process of making artificial bodies for the inhabitants of Matan using the Room of Spirit and Time. I’m so busy these days I can’t help it.
Also, arms can be made quickly, but accessories are strangely difficult…
“Okay. Don’t wait!!”
Unbelievable.
How could you have shook your shoulders while singing his hum song?
I didn’t expect you to be this happy, so I was delighted too.
“But you’re a little worried.”
“What do you mean?”
Mistress Frostia looked at me with mischievous eyes.
“All of the accessories made by Pryunar were ugly in design.”
“…Ah.”
That’s right.
Invitation Fryunar. The performance of the teenage family’s artifact is amazing, but at first glance it looks like a toy.
Ugh. Anyway, he’s a senseless nobleman.
“Don’t you know that you don’t have any sense as an heir?”
“Haha. Wasn’t the statue I dedicated good enough though?”
“I really liked it. But originally, Fryunard couldn’t make only accessories.”
Again, this is the first information I’ve heard.
“Huh? Did you?”
“That’s right. Umm… Is there any point in saying that it couldn’t be made? The performance itself was top-notch.”
I wonder if this guy’s ability was so outstanding that this Frostia-sama kindly acknowledged it.
…I do not like it!
Frostia-sama should only praise me!
[Me too!]
You off too!
[Ex.]
Ignoring her shocked dark dragon, I told her one of her purposes for coming to visit her today.
“Frostia-sama. If you don’t mind, can you tell us more about the Ten Heroes?”
“Hmm? Good.”
“You don’t like it, do you? I’ll pay you… Huh?”
Are you accepting it right away?
“It would be better to show it as a video. I’ll tell you in advance. Due to the limitations of the power that Pryunar gave off before he left, I can’t even show him his current level of descent.”
Normally, there would be no reason to say that you can’t do something because of your pride…!!
I feel that my affinity for Frostia has increased…!
[Me too!! Me too!!!! Drehem!!!!]
… I wrote heartily.
Let me praise you
“Frostia-sama. Malacia says she respects Frostia-sama very much.”
“Huh? Respect? No matter what.”
Malachia. Sunk.
Malachia was genuinely shocked and wept.
“Even if you don’t flatter me, Malachia. All of my people, including you, are cute.”
[…!]
At the words that followed, Malachia recovered.
“Let’s see… This would be nice. Ras. El. Orr.”
As Frostia-sama uttered an incantation, a video the size of a 40-inch monitor appeared in front of us.
“Oh oh…!”
Vivid like reality
You can even feel the wind or the smell of gunpowder on the screen…!
Shall we call it semi-virtual reality?
And the images of the heroes are reflected on the screen.
“Huh? That black stick on your face?”
“This is what Prunar did.”
Not a criminal The heroes’ features were treated with black sticks.
In addition, there was noise in the middle.
Fryunar bastard… What have you done?
[Because it’s like Frostia-sama, it’s a sword that can be shown in a screen format.]
I know.
With Frostia-sama’s ability, realizing a space like the world of memories would be no task.
It must be because of several limitations that it was shown on the screen.
“I’ve never seen those ten humans in person, but I’ve only seen them with the eyes of the puppets they control. They were usable for humans.”
As soon as Frostia finished speaking, the battle of heroes began.
The enemy is an army of grotesquely clinging flesh.
Before I came to this world. I thought it was a game trailer, and it was colorful and thrilling because it was their battle that brought them to this world.
Flash! Flash!
Every time lightning flashes here and there, ragged monsters explode.
Seeing the lightning reminded me of the Hart family.
“By the way, Frostia-sama, do you remember the modern heart family heir?”
In response to the question asked without much thought, Frostia-sama said, “Hmm?” He tilted his head.
“Heart heart…?”
Ah.
Come to think of it, this person is not a family name, but ice. He remembered as the source of the light lamp.
“The lightning horse.”
“…Ah!”
The moment she said she knew, when I fought with her before. She was recalling what she said.
And Master Frostia repeated the words of that time again.
“Yes. It was a little different.”
“…Was it different?”
“At that time, wasn’t that pouty-haired human being the current lightning?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Frostia is in the video. He said while looking at the invitational hearts running across the battlefield, flashing in the west and in the east.
“That guy and that guy are almost the same. Subtly different.”
“…”
I, at that word, recalled my guess again.
That absurd guess.
