Episode 46
For a moment, I felt like swearing at the Constellation, but I decided to hold back and looked to the side.
“One of the numbers is attached.”
“yes.”
Ever since I was told to guard Rush, ever since the war ended, I’ve been noticing one of the Number guys following me.
That’s why Number 7 immediately appeared prostrate at my call, and I smoothed out his messy hair and said,
“Rush.”
“I’m fine, no problem. “I had nothing to protect.”
“Yes, you had a hard time.”
“And the results of the investigation regarding Mr. Ha Cheon-seong and Mr. Rush have come out.”
At that moment, another story that I had asked for last night came up.
As I looked at number 7 as if asking him to tell me, he immediately answered to answer my question.
“It is a direct lineage. It’s quite far though. “The direct lineage was correct.”
And in response, I drew a smile on my face.
After all, I thought there was no way the Constellation guy would just have Rush as a friend.
Thinking that I had been feeling restless for no reason, I breathed a sigh of relief and said,
“good. “Thank you for finding out.”
“What do you plan to do next?”
When he cautiously asked a question, I was confused and lost in thought for a moment.
Then he immediately showed a light smile.
“Should we at least make that guy an emperor?”
“Then we will help.”
It was a joking remark, but did it seem sincere in Number 7’s eyes?
Seeing him taking it seriously, I shrugged my shoulders.
“It’s up to you. I need to take a shower. “Go out.”
“yes.”
As Number 7 disappeared, I immediately tried to take off my military uniform bottoms.
“Uh, uhh, chu, loyalty! Your Excellency Count Gilbert! Ah, yes. “He’s inside.”
At that moment, a commotion was heard outside.
Then, my head tilted when I heard the words, “His Excellency, Count Gilbert,” and I frowned as I felt something strange.
What, what’s going on?
“You said you would change your clothes and come out, so you will be out soon. yes? Do you want to go in? You’re probably going to change and come out soon anyway, so why bother… … White, Your Excellency the Earl?”
At that moment, I heard someone coming inside and quickly pulled my pants back up.
Then, the moment I hurriedly picked up my military uniform jacket that had fallen on the floor, the shared bathroom door opened.
The bathroom door and I were in a straight line.
The person who opened the door and came in was the Sword Master I saw earlier, and his eyes met mine.
As I looked at him, frozen in the position of lifting my jacket, he tilted his head once and was about to say something before quietly closing the door and leaving.
“f*ck.”
There’s something strangely shameful about it.
Moreover, he said that he was a count.
Well, he’s a very high-ranking guy, but being caught by someone like that is a pain in the ass.
‘I wonder if it will just jump out.’
I thought about it for a moment, but immediately shook my head.
That guy saw my face.
If they are Sword Master level guys, they are important guys on this floor, and if so, you never know when you will run into them again when you clear the floor.
‘done. it’s okay. Let’s just fool around. She wanted to be a soldier, but because she was a woman, she couldn’t become a soldier, so she disguised herself as a man and enlisted. ‘It seems like this country doesn’t have a system for female soldiers.’
With that in mind, I washed it off with water, tied a compression bandage on my chest, and changed into the military uniform that Iremic gave me.
When I walked out, with my hair pulled up and wearing a military cap, the Count was standing there.
Iremic, who was waiting for me, thought he had been bitten.
“… … “I apologize.”
“it’s okay. It’s my fault when I joined the military by lying about my gender. I came in like this because I wanted to become a soldier, but today is the end. “I have been caught by His Excellency the Count, so I will accept my punishment.”
He seemed a little embarrassed as he started saying things that were typical of new dramas.
Then, as soon as he saw my expression becoming depressed, he quickly opened his mouth.
“no. Don’t worry. “I won’t tell anyone about you.”
“I cannot make you lie to His Excellency the Count.”
“Everyone tells lies. And there’s no problem with keeping at least one secret of yours.”
“Are you sure?”
When I asked again, Gilbert nodded. Haha, this guy is stupid too.
“thank you. “By the way, it looks like His Excellency has come to visit me, for some reason.”
When I carefully asked the fool a question, he returned to his original expression, as if he had finally remembered the reason he had come to see me.
“I saw you fighting the enemy. “You definitely didn’t deal with Aurors, did you?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Can’t you handle Aurors?”
“If I could handle it, I wouldn’t have become a semi-knight.”
I said the same thing as Iremic earlier.
“… … But still, that’s his skill.”
“I was born with good stamina and strength. Of course, I also trained that much.”
“It was definitely a white leader. Where did he work?”

“It’s towards the western region. “Can you also tell me the name of the area?”
“No, that’s enough. Let’s get back to the point. “Don’t you want to be my knight?”
Nope.
I was about to speak honestly, but I stopped.
If I left it out of here, it would look rather strange.
Judging from his attitude, it seems like becoming a knight is a great honor.
“Even though you know I’m a woman?”
“Does not matter. “I decided based on your skills.”
Doesn’t this excuse work?
While listening to him, I pretended to be seriously concerned.
After hesitating about whether to speak or not for about three minutes, I immediately looked up at him and opened my mouth.
“sorry. “Your Excellency the Count.”
“… … “Is this a rejection?”
“I can’t handle Aurors yet. “If I become a knight, there will naturally be conflict among the knights who deal with Aurors.”
“That doesn’t matter. “If you prove it yourself with your skills, no one will be able to say anything.”
“I don’t have the confidence to endure that uproar. So, I have a favor to ask.”
“If you ask me a favor.”
“When I can handle Aurors directly, won’t you accept me as a knight yourself? “After seeing you fight today, I really wanted to join you.”
If it comes out like this, this situation can be taken lightly.
When I looked up at him, thinking that acting was in the realm of talent, Gilbert was silent for a moment and then nodded.
“Follow your will. When you manifest your Aura, come visit our family right away. I’ll tell you your name in advance… … “Anyway, what’s your name?”
“Please call me Tian.”
After saying that, I bowed my head to Gilbert before he could say anything more and quickly left.
Afterwards, I joined Iremic and participated in a meeting. After listening to the guard leader talk nonsense, I returned to the building where the trainees were staying.
“We prepared a separate room for ourselves. “I think you can rest there.”
“Thank you. Oh, now that I think about it, would you please call a trainee named Rush?”
“Rush, ah, I guess you’re the younger brother you mentioned back then. Of course you are worried. “I will call you right away.”
After saying that, Iremic introduced me to a room and went straight to Rush.
I sat down on the chair provided inside the room, put on my military cap, and let out a yawn.
It had been a while since I had used my aura and moved only with my strength, so for some reason I felt tired.
smart.
“Trainer Rush, may I come in?”
“come in.”
As if Iremic had given him a brief education, Rush, speaking in a military tone, walked in hesitantly.
Having experienced a war in one day, he looked much more exhausted than when he entered the training camp.
When I saw him like that, I took off my military cap for Rush, who couldn’t even look at my face.
“rush.”
Then, when I turned off the artifact that changed the voice, Rush stopped and looked at me properly.
At that moment, a look of puzzlement appeared on Rush’s face.
It took him a while to realize who I was, and then he did.
“Cheonseong? “How did you get here?”
“Nice to meet you?”
“Oh, uh, you’re the chief white man by nature? uh? what.”
“It’s my original job. You didn’t know, right? “I’m a human from the underworld.”
Even though he jokingly lied about cases like numbers, Rush still seemed so confused that he didn’t notice him.
“Well, that’s okay. “How about the military?”
When I brought up the military story to relieve some of the tension, Rush realized that I was a person he knew and quickly started telling me various stories.
Rush, who was talking about various things as if he had a lot to say even though it was only a day, gradually became more and more confused, and soon even shed tears of relief.
“As soon as I join the military, it’s war. I really thought I was going to die. Anyway, this isn’t it.”
“Yes, you had a hard time.”
I patted the back of the guy whose body was curled up with both hands covering his face.
As soon as I joined the military, I went to war. From my perspective as a soldier, I felt like I could curse the world.
“Really, what would I have done without you? “I really might have died there.”
Rush, who was depressed, looked at me as if I were his savior.
After looking at Rush for a moment, I opened my mouth with a very serious expression.
“Hey, Rush. “If there was one way to get out of the military, what would you do?”
Because it was a serious story, Rush also noticed the meaning on my face.
He realized that I really knew a way to get him out of the military.
“That means.”
“I found a way for you to get out of the military. “Maybe not right away.”
“Can you teach me the method?”
I decided to answer Rush’s question.
“You are a distant descendant of the now dead emperor.”
“Yes?”
However, when Rush tilted his head as if he didn’t understand, I realized that his explanation was insufficient.
This is because the general public did not yet know that not only the emperor, but also all bloodlines related to him had died due to the dispute over the throne.
Therefore, I began to slowly explain the situation to Rush.
Rush listened to my entire explanation and looked at me with a surprised expression.
“Cheonseong, how on earth do you know such things?”
“I told you. “I’m moving in the back.”
I decided to stick with the concept from before.
“And you are of that emperor’s blood. “You can become emperor.”
“Am I emperor?”
When I saw him acting in a confused manner, as if he hadn’t fully accepted the situation yet, I nodded.
“Now I know why I was able to get out of the military. The reason why the Kingdom of Sotelier suddenly started a war is definitely related to the fight for the throne. That story must have reached their ears. Knowing that the interior of the empire was in chaos, they decided it was time to start a war. “Maybe soon, other countries will gradually start attacking the empire.”
After saying that, I grabbed Rush’s shoulders.
“That’s why I’m telling you. If war continues, it becomes difficult for the nobles who were fighting for the throne to pay attention to the internal affairs. As it is now, as long as there is no emperor, the nobles who are unable to figure out what to do will become more confused and sway each other, and as a result, their internal power will continue to be diminished. Then you can appear. “If you, who have the blood of an emperor, appear, the nobles, who were confused by internal division and war, will not be able to properly stop you from ascending the throne.”
“Uh, yes, but in a situation like that, would anything change even if I became emperor? First of all, war broke out. Well, I don’t think things will get better even if I become emperor. And if I were a noble, they would consider me, the emperor, a thorn in their eyes and try to kill me.”
“No, if only you could have a firm say, that alone would make quite a difference. I checked the military situation in advance. Although the nobles are running the army, the military leadership is structured to listen to the highest ranking people. The first thing you must obtain is military command. There is no case where the military’s position rises as much as when a war breaks out. So if you manage the military, the nobles can’t mess with you either. Moreover, other countries will target and attack the interior, which is in disarray due to the struggle between the emperor and the throne. In times like this, if there is a central point called the emperor, the weakness of internal division is compensated.”
“… … .”
Rush, who was listening to me in silence, put his hand over his mouth.
