Chapter 197 – Side Story – Leon/ Edelis
The conversation between the two men did not last long.
Leon clearly communicated his refusal, and his father, who confirmed this, issued a congratulatory order.
The story had already ended there.
As for Leon, there was nothing to ask his father about, but the man did not want to talk.
It was a pity that he could not resolve the doubts he had been harboring all along, but how could he endure when the king of a country was reluctant to do so?
‘If this is the case, call me or not.’
It was more disappointing than expected.
After leaving the room and walking down the hallway, Leon saw a knight with striking silver hair.
The one who waits for himself without even moving like a wooden stone.
It was Edelis.
There was a very slight change in his expression as if the other side had also found Leon.
His eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth went up slightly.
Shall we say that it is a lively face that smells of the spring sun in an insipid feeling?
Whatever it was, it was Leon who thought it was a positive change.
“Are you done already, my dear?”
Leon shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“Yes.”
“I am surprised. I thought you two would spend a little longer.”
“It’s not that kind of a close relationship.”
“Anyway, isn’t it too early?”
“Well, Your Highness seems to have suffered from a chronic illness.”
It was a sharp, twisted nuance.
Edelis let out a deep breath through one ear.
It was common for his lord to show a cold attitude toward the king.
However, the catch is that his expression is worse than expected.
“I’m presumptuous, but can I dare to ask a question?”
“What are you talking about so hard? Make it easy.”
Edelis was hesitant even after giving permission.
At this point, Leon was also curious.
Is it such a sensitive question to be noticed?
“Have you said anything you wanted to ask Your Highness?”
It was an insignificant question compared to the flimsy ones.
At least that’s what Leon felt.
“Ah, is that what you mean? I couldn’t ask Let’s get it out right away.”
“Okay.”
After that, Edelis didn’t ask Leon any more.
I had a lot of questions, but I assumed that it wasn’t something to discuss at a meeting like this.
And that guess was correct.
Leon grinned.
Because he knew that his article was refraining from asking questions in his subconscious.
‘Because he’s a quick-witted person.’
The two walked around the palace.
The majestic scenery that dazzles the eye did not arouse any interest in them.
The prince glanced at the knight who was quietly following him and then opened his mouth in a low tone.
“Still, it’s good that it ended sooner than expected.”
It wasn’t a very comforting fight.
At least, there was a part that his article thought was incomplete combustion.
Edelis thought for a moment before replying.
“Are you going back right away?”
Leon tapped his chin with his index finger and shook his head.
“Well, judging from his father’s habits he’s observed over the years, he’ll need to stay a little longer.”
After sending it off like this, nine out of nine times it’s the guy who will call again next time.
That temper that seems to boil over with whims will not go anywhere.
“… Is that so.”
Edelis’ brow narrowed.
Leon’s words are no different from saying that the length of stay in the royal family will increase.
This was bad news for her.
Leon, who noticed such a subtle change in expression, asked Edelis back.
“Your expression is not good. Do you hate the royal family?”
Edelis, who wanted to regret that her face had become hardened, avoided her gaze and replied.
“It is a place where there are many who slander or antagonize degrading.”
If so, isn’t it a little different?
There was no back talk, but her expression said so.
It’s new, but that kind of Edelis shook Leon’s heart at will.
What should I do with this cute article?
“Haha, what can these things do? Someone our colleague. Isn’t he the hero who defeated the demon king who has reigned for a thousand years? A person like that is a colleague, so what are you afraid of?”
The nuance of having a strong back.
Normally, Leon wouldn’t say anything to show off her friendship with her close friend, Einstein.
But this is the royal family.
The royal family is too many to hear and see.
It was necessary to inflate her breasts to show that she was tall.
Isn’t that the truth?
People poke at the precarious fruit as if it will fall off soon, but do not touch the fruit that is tightly bound.
Edelis said in a polite tone, narrowing the corners of her eyes.
“You have to correct it, my lord. Aren’t I a warrior?”
In fact, it was Einstein who gave up his position as a warrior just a few months ago.
And then it disappeared.
After all, I can’t forget Arya’s work.
“That doesn’t mean his powerlessness is going anywhere. If they have eyes and ears to hear, they will know. Well, sometimes there are writers who get stuck in front and back, but where are we on the easygoing side?”
Leon put his hand on the sword draped over his waist.
In that look, there was the confidence and strength of his warrior.
Edelis kept his mouth shut because it was obvious that he would only frown while trying to nag him.
It was Leon who was sympathetic to that stubborn figure.
“Anyway, you’ll be bothered, but you’ll stay in the royal family for a while. If you have any complaints, tell me now.”
“How can a nobleman follow me? Where there is degradation is where I will be.”
“I’m very happy to say that, even if it’s just empty words, my knight.”
“It’s empty words, I’m sorry for the words.”
“Are you upset?”
“That is what it means.”
The expression of emotions has become very diverse.
Could this be the influence of Aria and Azazel?
Although it is a short time, it will be enough time to have an impact.
Hey, it’s hard to find even the slightest bit of malice among women, so it wouldn’t be strange to soften Edelis’s feelings a little.
Edelis, who was talking with the two of them, seemed somewhat comfortable.
Since Leon had such sentiments, Edelis said in a somewhat hardened tone.
“… I will correct it.”
“There is no need for that. I prefer that.”
Leon looked straight ahead.
Corridors lined up.
It was long, dirty and long, as it was then and now.
I take in the scenery that I might see for the next few days or even weeks.
I never thought I would be living a life in the royal palace that I didn’t miss or be fond of.
Fortunately, I didn’t get choked up like I did when I was a kid.
The reason is obvious.
Leon turns his head and scans his own article.
Seeing that blatant gaze, Edelis tilted her head.
“Why are you doing that, my dear?”
“Because I feel that you are always beautiful.”
“You are empty, as always.”
“I’m serious, Ethel.”
Edelis, who was about to send a stare at me to stop playing around, stiffened.
That’s how Leon was staring at Edelis with her serious eyes.
“…”
He didn’t say anything to blame him, but as much as his face was red-stained Edelis.
“Why are you so firm, but you didn’t even lie.”
“… You have been over-farming before. This is all because Einstein made the poor person look bad…”
“So even if you say it’s not a lie. Besides, I was in the dog car class before.”
Edelis strode forward as if she could no longer endure Leon’s mischievous words.
How could a knight leave his lord behind?
I can’t help but lament.
“Ku-k-k-k-k.”
I’d be really pissed off if I said that.
Teasing was also a law that needed rapid adjustment.
“Come with me, my knight.”
“Follow me as you please.”
Leon also liked the bright Edelis.

Whether it’s the royal family or wherever people live.
There is nothing special about eating, sleeping, and washing.
The point that any food should be poison checked.
Preparing for an assassin’s attack while sleeping or washing up.
Although there are many factors that create additional stress, such as having to listen to others’ shady sarcastic remarks.
Even so, there was nothing difficult for Leon or Edelis, who had grown up.
Because I got used to it and became stronger.
On the one hand, it was even sweet.
It would have been very disappointing if this damn ecology had changed in just a few years.
If so, wouldn’t it be too unfair?
Well, if you ask me what’s unfair.
… What is unfair?
I cleared my thoughts and looked out the window.
Quite a bit free.
What would Einstein say?
He must have said this with a frown on his face.
– It’s so boring.
Foot.
It’s funny because if that guy’s temper is really like that.
Rattle.
The door is open.
Without knocking.
“No, who is this? Aren’t you Leon, a group of handsome warriors?”
“…”
It’s better to be bored than to be stimulated like this.
Maybe I’ll be punished for whining that I’m bored.
I’ve been avoiding it well, but it seems that I can’t really turn away.
“What are you doing here, brother?”
The man I hate the most has arrived.
