Chapter 418 – Knight Investiture Ceremony
“In front of the nine gods of this land and the name of Sicilius III, the light of the empire – will you swear to protect this land and protect the weak of this land, women and children?”
“I swear.”
Once on the left shoulder and once on the right shoulder.
And once on top of the head.
The fancy ceremonial sword tapped Seojun’s body like a flower petal three times.
“Congratulations, Sir Seojun.”
A hand was stretched out in front of Seojun.
Hands like a girl’s, smooth and without a single callus,
Seojun, who gently squeezed the back of that beautiful hand and kissed it, glanced up at the eleventh son of the Golden Duke who appointed him a knight.
A richly grown beard, a flashy attire, and a golden watch chain hanging from his chest.
Although he looked decent on the outside, the blurred pupils that were soaked in vermilion suggest that he was definitely not a big person.
This was a small church in the central city bullpen.
Bishops and nuns were present to bless him.
There were only Balthazar’s nobles and a few subordinates.
Of course, there was Prince Anvil and his bodyguard, Serah Camelot, smiling from afar.
As expected, it’s death.
So much so that I’m worried that my tightly closed teeth might break…
The appreciation ends there.
As the knight investiture ceremony concluded – Eleven Nam asked with a hollow smile.
“Okay, how are you? “Do you feel like a knight of the empire?”
“It’s just an honor to be passed down from generation to generation.”
The 11-year-old burst into laughter at the smooth answer, as if his tongue had been greased.
“So? Are you really planning on getting your nose pierced by that guy, Anvil? The Golden Knights could also be a good option for you. 3rd team leader Johannes highly recommended you. Lily Knight, even if that gisaeng brother hadn’t abstained, you would have won – even the bastards on the street know it. Huh? What is it like?”
Seojun just smiled at the thought-provoking words and did not come up with a definitive answer.
Not only was there no reason to choose right away, but the Golden Knights had to be avoided even more.
Whatever the reason, it was Seojun who killed the knight who was a member of the Golden Knights.
There was no way that knights with connections to him would have any good feelings towards him.
He was probably going to make a fuss as much as he could. Not only is it trivial bullying – some people may call it an enemy and come at you as if to kill you.
Moreover, there was absolutely no need to think about options that would reduce the scope of movement.
As that Young master said – I didn’t want to get my nose stuck somewhere.
“It’s a shame, my father will be disappointed because we lost a great talent.”
Eleven-nam, who was taking a bite, seemed to remember something and suddenly snapped his fingers.
“Ah, then what are you going to do with your squire? If you don’t have anyone else in mind, there’s my son… What is it like?”
Seojun just shook his head.
It was kind of a give and take, they did me a favor – so I had to give something back.
The seed of a highly skilled knight was almost as if he was destined to become a knight – it was a kind of lottery with a guaranteed winner.
Moreover, a knight without a vassal would not be able to treat a squire with a steadfast vassal carelessly – Seojun would be happy on the other side as well.
At Seojun’s affirmation, Elevennam grinned and gestured to the servant.
“Hey, hey! “Call Raymond!”
Not long after, a servant brought a man named Raymond.
But the guy was in such a bad shape.
She must have been drinking recently, so the wine stains were clearly visible on the front of her gorgeous blouse, and the clean top was blurred from the alcohol.
Moreover, the pants were half undone and the half-erect figure was hanging down.
It looks like he was dragged in while drinking and dancing with women.
His self-care was so bad that his stomach was bulging at a young age, his beard was dirty, and his eyes were the same.
I recognized my father through my half-closed eyelids and—oh! And then he falls down on the floor and bows deeply, as if he were fighting.
“This bastard told me to restrain myself during the day… Tsk – Sir Seojun, even though he’s a drunkard, he’s big and has a lot of tenacity. If you teach it well, it will do its job in no time, right? “It’ll be okay, right?”
Seojun nodded, willing to accept it.
“Phew, thank you, thank you very much. It won’t hurt if you put it in your eyes, so please take care of him, my first son. Huh?”
“Well, I’ll make it a great article.”
Eleven-nam hugged Seojun in his arms as if he were his own son and gave him a strong pat on the back.
Then he twisted my son’s nose and shouted, as if telling Seojun to look and listen.
“Hey you guy. This man, please treat Sir Seo Jun with all the respect you would treat me! Did you understand?”
“Ahh! Ah, I understand, father!”
Raymond screamed until his face fell open.
Seojun came out of the church with the guy.
“Ha, it was good until just now… Of course, I write it right before I pack it-.”
As soon as the door closes behind him, he mutters.
Then he looked at Seojun from the corner of his eye and asked.
“Well, you’re not really going to leave the city, are you? If there is something good out there, just join the Golden Knights. Oh, training and all – don’t even think about forcing something like that. Do you understand?”
“···.”
Seojun kept his mouth shut for a moment and thought about it.
“No, why is there no answer, this wedge-? Wow. You said you were a mercenary? “I’m asking you if you understand what I’m saying!”
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped his cheek.
Sigh-!
“A Billion…!”
Raymond looking up at Seojun while lying face down on the floor.
As the attention of people coming and going from all directions gathered – the guy was so angry that his face was red and was about to scream something, but when Seojun took out a knife – hehe! And I took a deep breath.
When the blade stabs the guy’s pants, his knot is cut and his pants fall down.
I could see that the front of my pants were turning brown, as if I had urinated.
“Oh my, your pants are loose because you fell. Well, be careful… Change your clothes neatly and come out to the parade ground. Let’s see, I have some business to run – you can come out around sunset. Clean up that messy beard too. “Change your pants, okay?”
Seojun said that and walked away.
That guy had nothing to worry about.
I spent one coin and looked at his abilities, and found that he was destined to spend his whole life working under knights and then become a private soldier. Even though he was the first child of 11 years, that was it.
I was crying, and my dad hit me! Even if I try, I’ll get a hard beating.
Seojun didn’t maim him, he just slapped him, so where can he go and talk about it? The guy with the peppers.
Jumble-
Seojun started walking down the street.
The cold air is sucked into his nostrils.
Sleet was falling.
Now you have become a knight from a mercenary. He has become a semi-noble.
So there was no need to go in and out of the Changgwan to attract attention.
Since he was qualified for her, it was not enough for him to ask her to meet him.
It was time to meet the flower of evil.
Seojun regained his appetite and took a quick step onto the snow-covered road.
“`
A woman with dark red rouge on her lips looks behind her and asks.
“Who?”
“Ha Seo-jun. “This is a man who became a hot topic at the jousting tournament this time.”
Lady Salari was the woman who held and managed the majority of the bullpen in the central city.
Now that she was just entering middle age, she was called Madame Salari, her godmother, etc.
It wasn’t bad for her to be called that either.
What kind of being is a mother?-.
They raise the child in the womb for nine months, and after the child is born, they do their best to breastfeed the child.
Then what is milk-.
It is a symbol of life when a child fills his or her stomach for the first time, and it is something that men rush to with excitement even after they grow up.
Breasts were a symbol of peace and love, a trophy, and at the same time a symbol of carnal desires.
When Madame Salari was called ‘godmother’, she felt as if she were shooting the men of this country, the bullpen of the central city, under her skirt.
There was no difference in being a noble with noble blue blood. Even the ones known as Golden Balthazar go crazy trying to rub their dicks with the children she raises.
“That man is looking for me? Why?”
“I heard you wanted to meet your godmother and talk to her. “I heard you are interested in the new building we are preparing…”
Madame Salari, who was listening to the story while patting the wrinkles around her eyes covered with powder, snorted.
Invest? Patience- What kind of guy’s investment is this?
She had seen people approach like this many times, no, dozens of times.
Most of them were some kind of virgin auctioneer.
When a new brothel was opened, the prostitutes who entered it were sinners.
That means – at least the guys in the bullpen here are girls who haven’t tasted it yet.
Of course, most of them were used.
In most cases, prostitutes who wanted to make a name for themselves were brought in by coaxing them from other regions, and genuine virgins – that is, virgins – were not that common.
So, around the time when a new branch was opened, there were quite a few people who approached Madame Salari in this way.
Among the prostitutes who enter there, the hyenas are drooling as they wonder if they can have sex with a virgin who has not yet tasted a man. It was obvious that it was one of the dogs.
“Tsk – just send it back. You should pay a fair price to buy it, why are you rudely trying to come in through the back door? Do I look that easy?”
“···But that’s it.”
Sala Lee opened her eyes and looked up at the disgusting girl who was upset at her words.
I picked up a pretty and smart bitch and raised her as her adoptive daughter, and now she’s trying to climb up…
The moment I was about to say something to that thought, the bitch spat out an answer.
“Are you a driver?”
“···What? Article? “A knight?”
“Well, uh- don’t you know? During the competition, he suddenly left the stadium and cut off the head of a villain who was trying to harm a woman with a child…”
Ah, I heard that story.
How could you not know that the bitches in Changgwan say that to everyone they meet? Was that man named Ha Seo-jun?
A true knight of this era, full of justice-.
He may seem like a really cool guy when he’s young, but when he gets older, his sense of justice is completely useless.
How many times has she seen people dying because of those useless things?
The world was not a convenient structure that revolved around emotional fragments.
Only money-, money was everything.
Money was the only wheel and driving force that made the world run.
And it was our job to steal men’s money through women’s breasts and the space between their legs.
Kids these days don’t know such simple things.
“He’s down there now. Would you like to meet him?”
But why does a man with such a sense of justice come here?
Is this because he is a man too?
Looking out her window, she saw her man in a handsome black coat getting caught in the sleet. Because she is wearing a hat, her face is not visible.
“Hmm, let me come in first. I’ll meet you in the living room – I’ll keep the account book hidden carefully. Billy, tell Brother Carlson to come in with you.”
“Yes···! Well, what kind of tea would you like?”
“Tea…?”
Only then did Madame Salari, frowning, realize the intentions of this dastardly bitch.
I guess I’ll bring her a teacup and see her face one more time.
“Tsk – do whatever you want.”
If a woman chases after a man, she will end up in a miserable situation. Ah-.
I swallowed her words into my throat.
Even if you say it, they won’t even hear you. You have to experience this to know. If you don’t experience anything, you won’t understand it even if you tell it to me a thousand days.
Madame Salari waited for her guests in a dark, yet strangely strange drawing room decorated with muted silk.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door and a pair of large men came inside.
Billy – Brother Carlson.
They are Madame Salari’s bodyguards and are called goblin brothers in the back world.
The older brother, Billy, has a burn mark on his left cheek, and the younger brother, Carlson, has a wrinkled scar on his right cheek.
These are the people whom Madame Salari serves, given to her by her ‘Her One’ – they know how to manipulate her mana and are so strong as her monsters that even most of the bullies dare not even make eye contact with their brothers.
“Cigarettes?”
Madame Salari took out a piece of tobacco from her front door and asked.
“No.”
“It’s okay.”
The two guys shake their heads at the same time.
What they have created is that they have grown up in Jujiyukrim and are not interested in cigarettes – nor alcohol or drugs – they are purely boring people.
That was why Madame Salari felt uncomfortable with those two.
A man who couldn’t do anything with his breasts – he was like an uncontrollable monster.
If ‘he’ hadn’t kept the leash tightly tied, those two brothers might have devoured the back world of the bullpen.
Still, since I’ve been eating from the same pot for several years, I’m now used to that hideous appearance.
It was very effective in scaring the gangsters.
Even those who run away without paying, when that brother visits, he takes out the emergency fund hidden in my wife’s underwear.
That was the reason why they were forced into the reception room.
How could he know that a knight full of justice would try to intimidate him? In that case, they will protect themselves, just like they have always done.
The moment I put a cigarette between my dark red lips, lit a match, and inhaled, I heard a knock on the doorway.
[This is Seojun.]
“···Please come in.”
Squeak – The door opened, and a man in a black coat entered the living room.
Perhaps because of the white snow piled up over his broad shoulders, over his black hat and hair, and over the nose of his boots, he looked like a ghost.
Hmm – you have a good physique, you are tall, and your body looks good. I love these girls, it’s worth dying for.
While I was thinking about that, the man took off his hat and raised his head.
The moment they made eye contact, Madame Sala Lee dropped the cigarette from her snout.
