Chapter 23 – 6. Byungsik Yeol and the Mandate of the Heir (3)
All memorial services are over.
Through the characteristic ‘skillful agitator’, he delivered a soulful memorial speech. The effect was beyond my imagination.
Looking at the knight commander applauding me from one side of the stage. Because I knew that my plan had definitely worked.
Clap clap clap clap-
Starting with Michael, the central plaza was filled with applause. The applause was like a waterfall, enough to make the plaza resonate violently.
And those who send eyes full of emotion. Even among the elite soldiers, many could be seen shedding tears.
This strange but clear cheer for the heir to the mad man. I waited for a while for the heat in the square to subside.
And when it’s quiet again He bowed to the crowd and withdrew from center stage.
‘Characteristics are also characteristics. Eirin’s ghostwritten speech is also scary. Actually, even I, who is not from Essenmund, was moved.’
When I returned to the seat where the important people were gathered, Marshal Wilhelm greeted me with a choked voice.
“Yulian!! How the hell did this happen? Are you really the Julian I knew?”
I was stingy. As the Marquis said, the substance inside was not the former Julian. But I calmly answered the Marquis.
“That’s right. Your Highness the Marquis. I am undoubtedly the heir to Your Highness and Reinhardt. This is Julian von Reinhardt.”
“Ohhh… I thought Reinhardt was over with me. But how can this happen! Jedin and the telegraph Loia, who gave us…”
“But it is not all over. Because there is still one match left with Captain Michael.”
At my words, the Marquis looked at Captain Michael. The knight commander who applauded me first when everyone in the square was lost.
It is Michael who does not lose his cool reason like a ghost even on the most intense battlefield. His eyes were different from before.
Eyes full of blatant interest and sympathy. It was completely different from the first appearance, which seemed to have no interest in today’s military parade.
“Michael… You burned unlike him. It’s a big deal.”
Concern came out of the Marquis’ voice. Of course, Grand Master Wilhelm could not be afraid of Michael. What worries me, his grandson.
“Don’t worry. Your Highness the Marquis. I have prepared enough to not be ashamed of Reinhardt’s blood.”
“Really? Still, Michael is not the commander of the Knights of the Midnight Sun for nothing.”
“The resolution is made. Please watch.”
“Yes. I get it. The look in your eyes makes it look like you’re serious.”
Wilhelm nodded his head.
“Then I won’t say more. As for Michael, if he wants to come out seriously, I can’t stop him. This succession ceremony is a long tradition of Reinhardt.”
Again the Marquis came to the center of the stage.
“Continued, I will have a place to prove whether Reinhardt’s successor really has the right to inherit that blood. Julian von Reinhardt! And Michael Schultz! Let the two of you come to the center of the stage with your own swords!”
Along with the Marquis’ loud command, Captain Michael and I faced each other.
Slurreureung-
At the same time, the two drew swords from their scabbards. And each of them took their swordsmanship stance. Both of them had the same ritual sword, lion heart sword.
However, Michael’s momentum was different from normal.
‘Michael… I’m sure he decided not to use Aura.’
If he is a knight of master level, he can radiate fierce momentum without using mana or aura.
But now it was different. My senses, which have become more sensitive since awakening mana, tell me. Michael is now in a state where mana is raised all over his body.
‘It’s not Auror, it’s Mana. Is it consideration for the difference in skills between the two?’
If you focus on the senses, you can see a pale blue aura spreading through Michael’s body.
Looking at that color, fortunately it wasn’t Aura. Magical power that has extremely refined the mana you see right now comes. The aura was silvery white, different from mine.
‘Of course, if you’re a skilled person like that, it won’t make much of a difference whether it’s mana or aura. Still, it’s a good sign that he took out mana.’
That’s great. Even though it’s not an Auror, considering the overwhelming difference in skills between the two, Michael is definitely sincere.
“Then let the two of you exchange your matches! Start!”
Simultaneously with the shouts of Marshal Wilhelm, Captain Michael began to move. The tip of his sword shakes. Slowly. But like a lion’s movements, it’s majestic.
At first glance, it is a frustrating and slow movement that cannot be called a master’s skill.
However, that was an illusion created by Michael’s momentum.
Before I even had time to perceive, Michael’s sword was already close to me. It was Chapter 1, Type 1 of the Lion Heart Sword that I had been practicing with Uriel.
“Yulian!!!!”
In an instant, the call of the Marquis is heard.
You must be very surprised. A fierce blow that contains mana.
Although people who have awakened mana have a kind of barrier through mana, which is a last resort.
Michael’s blow was already on the verge of stabbing me in the chest. If I just stay like this, I’m sure there will be fatal injuries.
However, my senses are heightened to no avail. Time passes extremely slowly, as if it were near death.
Even so, I couldn’t react to Michael’s sword.
No. Actually didn’t react. I just kept quiet. And the very moment the tip of the sword approached the end of the barrier created by my mana.
Reinhardt’s blood reacted faster than my perception or accident.
My sword finally moved.
***
Silence fell over the central square once again. Michael and my 1-go exchanges are all over.
“Uh… What happened!”
Wilhelm’s roar broke the ice-cold silence. At the same time, the central square began to hum.
“What just happened? Did anyone else see the move?”
“It was so fast I couldn’t see it. However, that Captain Michael seemed to be sincere.”
“That’s right. Although I did not become a knight, I did learn swordsmanship. Besides, it seems that Captain Michael used mana…”
“Aren’t they both part 1 of the Lion Heart Sword?”
“No. Count Julian’s attack was a little different.”
I hear the whispers of the factors on stage. I can see the figure of Captain Michael in front of me.
My body escaped Michael’s sword. The place where the tip of Michael’s sword rests is the empty space right next to my body. And the tip of my sword was right next to Michael’s neck.
Unexpected thing. Michael’s expression was also tinged with momentary surprise.
‘It’s worth it.’
Because I was surprised too. What I prepared was one meal of Lion Heart Sword. However, my sword attack, which flew at Count Michael, was a 2-type sword attack.
‘I originally planned to see his attack through to the end, then cut off his sword and blow 1 meal.’
Clearly, it was difficult to slash the knight commander’s sword out of the air.
So, what I prepared was to endure without reacting until just before the opponent’s sword strike.
It was a risky strategy that could potentially result in fatal injuries, but the odds were good enough. It was not a complacent strategy that Michael would rely on swordsmanship.
I was instinctively convinced that Reinhardt’s blood would move if he was on the verge of a fatal injury.
‘But it was more than I thought.’
Reinhardt’s blood was amazing. Instead of cutting Michael’s sword away, he reacted faster than that and aimed a second expression at Michael’s throat.
In other words, Reinhardt’s blood sensed the danger of death, and after that, a very high-level counter was entered.
Michael continues to make an expression of disbelief in his own eyes. Soon he regained his composure and lowered his sword. I also took up my sword.
“The exchange of 1 agreement has been completed.”
Captain Michael speaks in a low voice. The two swords returned to their respective scabbards.
And soon, Michael shouted at the stage and the central square with a voice as loud as Wilhelm’s.
“Michael Schultz, the leader of the Midnight Knights! With the honor of the knight commander, I speak to the people of Essenmund. Now, here and now, Count Harsen, Julian von Reinhardt, has completed his first round as the heir to the Margrave!”
It was a cry announcing that the official succession ceremony was over at this very spot.
“Also, I swear by the name of Jedin, given to me by Michael Schultz, that Count Harsen’s first move was a perfect swordsmanship as a member of Reinhardt.”
At the same time, applause and wild cheers resounded in the central square.
I felt the tension in my whole body release. Through self-restraint, the common aristocrat, he barely sat down and endured as it was.
Following Michael’s words, the Marquis also declared.
“The honorable commander of the Knights of the Midnight Sun testified! Therefore, I, the owner of Essenmund, also declare here. That Julian von Reinhardt has become the official successor to my next Margrave. I announce it in the name of Jedin, the Lord God, and Roia, the Warlord!”
At the same time, the Knights of the Midnight Sun and the elite soldiers all put their right hands on their chests. They, too, swear to protect the successor of their lord.
I finally became the heir to the Margrave formally before the people of Essenmund.
This winter, it was the moment when everything I had to do in Essenmund was finished.
***
The carriage left the Margrave of Essenmund and was heading towards the ecliptic.
It’s already been ten days since I left the Marquis’ Mansion. The carriage was now in front of the ecliptic.
“Then will you arrive at the ecliptic tomorrow, Eirin?”
“Yeah. Young master. The road conditions from here to the ecliptic are not bad. It will definitely arrive.”
In the last military parade, he successfully became the official successor of the Reinhardt family.

—————–
Through him, he earned enough compensation for the goods consumed in the parade. So now all I have to do is go back to the Divine Academy Pantheon.
Of course, Marshal Wilhelm was in a frenzy not to send me back to the Pantheon.
“Finally, you have become Reinhardt’s official successor. So, instead of staying at an academy, let’s continue the education of the successor here. Right next to me.”
But it never could. If you remain in the Marquis, you will be able to become a good swordsman and lord thanks to Reinhardt’s blood.
However, if I do not go to the Pantheon, I will not be able to develop the demon king’s blood and my immense wealth as the son of a saint. Even the swordsmanship training was sufficient in the Pantheon, so there was no reason to remain in Marquis Command.
I looked around.
“Without a hostess and collateral nobles, Reinhardt now has no connection with the center of the Empire. On the other hand, Pantheon has a link with the imperial family, the third princess. In addition, you can fully promote friendship with other noble children. So it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stay at the academy for about a year to establish a strong relationship with the center. Lord.”
“Oh oh. Julian. That is also true. You, too, have an idea!”
Speaking of his grandson, Marquis Wilhelm was originally weak. He made a plausible excuse there, so he couldn’t stop me.
And most of all, my shady self was clamoring to go to the Pantheon as soon as possible. Because that place was truly Mureungdowon, filled with the most beautiful young ladies in the empire.
‘I like Eirin and Yuriel, but… I really want to see Princess Maman in real life.’
The third princess of the Holy Empire and her candidate for sainthood, Lilia Ramir Ashterik. Gorgeous blonde hair and blue eyes like jewels. And she has a dog-like benevolent and beautiful face.
Above all, the sacred giant mamma barrel beneath its face…
Just thinking about her breasts gave me strength in her lower legs without realizing it. Eirin noticed the change.
“Breakfast and lunchtime… You already served, but you’re dignified again. Do you need an attendant again?”
Ei-rin, who was sitting across from her, came to the seat next to me. And she stroked my thigh with her soft hand.
‘You do this again. Eirin.’
Eirin’s eyes were different from usual. After her feverish ceremony, her attitude towards Ei-rin towards me has changed in a strange way. She’s just as cold and arrogant as usual.
However, the whole time she rode the wagon, she rushed to the market more aggressively than before or gave a moist look. It’s like she’s trying to keep her sage time after ejaculation…
“Don’t you like my service, too? Somehow, after the service, it seems that the young master is getting smarter than usual… The last military parade was like that too…”
I don’t know if Eirin felt something in her own way at my changed appearance.
‘Do you really think I’ve become better because of the attendant?’
She might not have guessed. Erin continued.
“If you go to the Pantheon, the young master is now a sophomore. You will definitely have to put more effort into your studies than before. If you stay as smart as you are now, I’ll be happy too…”
Eirin’s way of speaking was strangely sticky and sweet. As her voice and breath reached my ears, my cock grew even bigger.
As expected, Ei-Lin immediately took off her pants and her panties without asking my will. She thumps and sticks out the cock.
The tip of her glans was dripping with clear cock juice. Ei-Lin stuck out her tongue and stole the pre-cum from her, as if it were sweet syrup.
“Chew… Chew…”
Then I stuck out her pink lips and bit her glans.
