2nd Rank Has Returned

Holy Sword-1

What the Senators were trying to do was to undermine Leonardo’s ball, expose his sins, and tarnish his self-esteem and honor.

It was because Leonardo decided that he would be able to sleep comfortably with talented people.

Therefore, their main purpose was only to make comfortable use of the existence of Leonardo, and the accusation of Leonardo’s sins was a superficial excuse.

so that.

[Oh, I used my head.]

I would never have expected such a result.

“…that…what…!”

“The conviction was solidified through the hearings of the Senate. I guess this place was too much for me.”

Chris and Marken both looked shocked.

They also had the will to defend themselves no matter what punishment they were given, but I never expected that they would express their intention to resign in such a way.

“The letter of resignation will be sent through the Lord at a later date. It was an honor to share the precious wisdom and time of the Senate.”

“Wait a moment…! Do you think you can quit your job as a knight so arbitrarily?!”

[This is not what you, who are retired and locked in a closet, say.]

It was a straightforward fact, but now I have to wrap it around in a roundabout way.

“A body that could not be a former knight in the first place, it may have been inevitable that this happened.”

Leonardo said so and looked at the Senators.

“The place that connects the chivalry and beliefs of the brave family together was something I could never reach with my own efforts.”

If you look at it with a little self-help and a sad gaze, the effect is doubled.

“then…! Exclusive article…!! What will the exclusive knight do?!”

Is that what you came up with? For an old man, it was a very cute and boring idea.

“If necessary, I will work until a successor arrives. I have to tell her this too.”

“like that…! Don’t you even think about the aftermath when you go out?! I thought you could get a knighthood so easily…!!”

Excited, the senators continued to shout in a furious tone. The dignity and manners that they had created by the elderly were only destroyed by the boy’s resignation.

“I never thought it was easy to get.”

I’ve never even thought of it like that since my previous life.

“I’m sorry that I couldn’t do better because I was lacking… but I really tried not to cause as much trouble.”

In fact, in terms of the achievements made by Leonardo over the past two years, there was not much difference from the achievements of the Senators.

“However, as the Senators said, there were many unexpected sins and mistakes.”

Finally, the arrow is turned into a circle. This would have made them aware too.

[They are all ruined.]

＜It always has been.＞

Leonardo had never forgiven Ariaspil’s death alone, and the stupidity of the Senate who stood by.

Their sins were so rotten that even death could not wash them away.

“…Do you think it would be an honor to resign like this!? Fame, money…!”

“it’s okay. It’s also my karma, so I should receive it sweetly.”

This was the end.

＜Even if you convince me with anything, I will not obey.＞

The end with that meaning.

Because he is not like a knight of the Senate, he is the only knight of the hero, Ariaspil.

“Then let’s go.”

With that said, Leonardo went out the door. After that, the elders held a meeting of countermeasures while remaining in a crucible of chaos and fury.

***

Chris Reinhardt was shocked so much that the destruction of his concentric heart felt ridiculous.

He did not think that the Senate would have a good influence on Leonardo, but he did not expect or imagine that he would make him give up his knighthood.

In a hurry, she ran towards the open door. What you see is a boy walking down the hallway, holding the boy by the shoulder, Chris shouted.

“Don’t go with hasty judgment…! There is still a chance…!”

“It’s too much for me to receive such an opportunity.”

The boy looks back and smiles lightly. The barely-squeezed laughter seemed as if resignation and sadness were forcibly gripping the corners of his lips.

“I will defend myself somehow…! If you resign yourself, it will only end at your fault…! No one will understand…!”

“Thank you, but that’s okay.”

Leonardo turned and looked straight at Chris. For some reason his eyes had neither focus nor vitality.

“Actually, I was worried. As for whether I can stay with Ariaspil-sama.”

At that moment, Chris’s hand was released. Leonardo was always confident with his words and the skills that corresponded to it. Because it was Leo who overcame and overcame any crisis.

Therefore, they may have been reassured and misunderstood.

Leonardo said no worries.

“Am I doing my part as an escort knight, or maybe I can give you a better experience if you are someone other than me… Dark Darkness or the Commander of the Executioner’s Knights?”

But there is no one in the world without worries. Even more so if it’s a young boy who hasn’t even lived for 20 years.

“And after hearing the words of the Senators, it made sense. I was not good enough to help Ariaspil-sama.”

It wasn’t. To Chris Noon, Leonardo was the only person who could help Ariaspil and he could follow.

“I just depended on my family and Ariaspil. I was foolish and weak.”

It was natural. When I came to the family, I was only 13 years old, and now 15 years old… I was just a young boy who couldn’t even be called a young man.

There was no reason for such a boy to be reviled for relying on him.

“Actually… I think I’ve had a very lucky life. It was the luckiest thing I’ve ever done in my life to quarrel with Miss Arya.”

Luck didn’t last forever, happiness drowned in pain.

“He was my whole world, he was everything to me.”

And that day, his world was broken again.

suddenly without any notice.

When the light went out, there was nothing to see.

“Then more…! Trying to stay longer…!!”

“Stop it.”

It was Marken who came back.

“Chief…!!”

whistle

What was thrown was a white barrel. Leonardo opened the barrel and looked at Marken in turn.

“It’s a return scroll. If you’ve stopped writing, don’t mumble and get out.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Leonardo opened the scroll and activated teleportation.

“Good-bye.”

Leonardo just disappeared with the light.

“father…!! What is this doing!?”

“I just gave it because I need a scroll to go back.”

“Isn’t that what you mean!”

Chris exclaimed with unprecedented rage. To his father, Marken, who can’t usually go against him.

“…Christina, what did you do when you were 13 and 15?”

“…that…”

remember When I was 13, it was normal to waste half a day trying to make a nice tinnitus, and when I was 15, it was fun to wear an eye patch or bandage as an accessory and come up with a technical name.

Thinking about it now, it was a black history that made my face a little red.

“I was educated and trained as a head of state. At that time, I complained a lot and often deviated.”

Suddenly, a boy came to mind.

“But what about that kid?”

I was speechless at that question. Looking at the boy, he became ashamed of the life he took for granted.

“My parents passed away, and I must have been fighting with blood and swords ever since I was 10 years old.”

the boy’s pain,

“In my family, I was discriminated against because I was a commoner, and I was despised just because I was an orphan.”

Because the agony was endlessly heavy.

“Nevertheless, he never complained. I didn’t cry, but I didn’t get angry either.”

Nevertheless, the will of a boy who lived and fought silently,

“We took that for granted. That’s why we couldn’t be trusted.”

Because I couldn’t see or understand it properly.

“Accept it. We betrayed that boy’s world, and we don’t deserve it.”

Speech is blocked by shame.

At that time, Leo

＜How was my acting?＞

[I knew it, but it’s creepy because I’m changing my stance right now.]

At the peak of his acting, he stumbled, and he was filled with anticipation for the result that would come later. Perhaps in terms of a play, it would be as shocking a reversal as the betrayal of the most trusted helper.

＜It doesn’t matter, right? Those old men are still cheap.＞

The Senate was an old man’s house where, according to the wise man’s words, the old people in the back room gathered and asked for treatment.

Even the pension they ate was enough to raise the salaries of all Reinhardt’s knights by 2.2 times,

Without stopping there, they were like parasites that continued to interfere with the family in the name of solidifying their position.

＜What is the reason for such an old man’s home being maintained?＞

[What? Of course, it must be Jjjambap in the guise of the wisdom of age.]

As they said, they were only in the Senate because they gave Reinhardt glory, but on the surface they were there in the name of imparting wisdom.

＜But what if you reprimanded a Saenara child who is playing hard in active duty and made him resign? What will that wisdom be?＞

[Whatever you say with your mouth, you must have gone to hell. Even the kids who looked at me like that idiot will bite me when they say it’s right.]

It was the sage who expected the aftermath with a clear answer. He was also a wise man in such a deceitful act.

＜The Senate is actually one of the main culprits that killed Arya.＞

Ariaspil, who has become a hero, suffers from constant battles and demon hunting.

Obviously, if the tasks were divided wisely and the right places were divided, the issues that could have been resolved smoothly, they just took over all of them just because Arya was a hero.

[…they are old bastards.]

＜If it had been that way, it would have ended in a bad way.＞

The most unforgivable thing for Leonardo was putting control over even the media that reported Arya’s condition. The reason was that Reinhardt’s faith was shaken and the people were terrified, a trivial excuse.

[…you…maybe…]

It was too late and it was past. The opportunity to change exists only in the present, and the past only leaves scars.

＜Actually, it was me who was absent the most. I’d rather have just resigned with words like this.＞

It was a joke, but I couldn’t help it. There, guilt and self-help engulfed like bones twisted the blood and flesh of the soul.

[…you are not wrong.]

＜Ha, did the sage even see it?＞

[Then did you see my life?]

A smirk came out of that question.

＜I don’t really want to see you.＞

[Me too. This one.]

The swearing at each other, the reason I feel kind of affectionate is because we’ve gotten used to it too.

[You worked hard. I lived hard enough to be loved without shame.]

The boy’s shoulders shook slightly, and certainly. The reason no sound came out was probably because of the man’s only remaining pride.

[So, live a little hard for you. To be honest, if people don’t like them, it’s a god or a corpse, is that a human being?]

“under…”

It was the advice of a wise man who didn’t even cry, not laugh, sob, or cry like a waste of time.

＜Is that comforting?＞

[Can you comfort me?]

＜…Yes, it is comforting.＞

I was a little energized. As I was living, the day came when I was comforted by the origin of magic.

[Leave the squeaking noises aside, but can I ask just one question?]

＜Unless it’s a dog whistle.＞

[What are you going to say to Arya?]

A moment of uneasy silence passed.

“…I’ll hit the head and apologize later.”

Actually, that wasn’t the plan.

[You call that a horse? I’d rather bow down naked. It has a higher chance of surviving.]

That person showed me a miraculous exchange method that doubled the score I had raised at the most.

And Ariaspil isn’t that kind of person, and he’s not really leaving, so why not make a fuss?

“In case you don’t know, I’ll have to stay overnight here today.”

[Yeah, but life is important.]

It was never because Arya was afraid. It’s just that the weather is cool today and the atmosphere in the mansion will be disturbing, so I just avoided the seat.

***

At that time, Reinhardt’s mansion.

“Leo!! Leonardo!!”

Ariaspil was looking for his exclusive knight who had disappeared since morning.

In fact, the reason Leo went to the Senate was because only the head and the people involved in this matter knew, and he kept it a secret from Arya.

＜Did you find it?＞

[No, there are none around.]

Even when I asked the spirits, the answer was consistently ‘no’.

“Where the hell did you go without a word…?”

To be honest, I was more worried than angry. This was because Leo was always involved in strange or dangerous things at such times.

“Aria aa!!!”

At that moment, an older brother, a head-to-head, ran towards him screaming.

“…why? Be quiet. I’m looking for Leo…”

“What do you mean Leo is quitting a knight?!”

That day, Arya’s world was cracked.
