Love Letter From The Future

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (36)

“Knights of the Yurdina family are famous for their fierce temperament.”

It was a warning thrown by Seria asking me to accompany her.

A crackling sound regularly hit my ears. It was proof that the horse was running.

The private soldiers of the Yurdina family were stationed near the border of the Percus territory. It was a bit too far to go barefoot.

So Seria and I decided to try horseback riding after a long time.

Originally, foot dexterity and horseback riding were few of my specialties. She was confident in horseback riding, and Seria also grew up in the north, which is said to be the birthplace of cavalry.

He had the confidence to ride a horse better than most cavalrymen.

Thanks to that, the conversation between Seria and I was smooth even though we were on horseback.

“Northern people are very proud. I never bow my head unless I admit it myself. Regardless of whether you are an aristocrat or a commoner… Maybe, that side might try to test senior Ian.”

“Even if you’re the lady’s guest?”

“Yes, actually, I haven’t been properly recognized by my vassals yet.”

A bitter smile formed on Seria’s lips as she said that.

No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like they were trying to scare me by exaggerating reality.

Then there was only one answer.

It meant that every single word that Seria was throwing out now was true.

Even though she was the youngest daughter, Seria was a blood relative of the Yurdina family. Not even one of the only two golden leaves in the family was recognized.

Even Seria’s skills aren’t inferior.

In the end, I had no choice but to swallow a heavy saliva.

The Yurdina family’s test seemed more difficult than expected.

“It might be a little difficult to get proper cooperation.”

“Yes, maybe… Still, the first time I heard my sister tell me to lead the privates, I was very happy.”

My eyes glanced at Seria’s face.

Saying that, Seria’s eyes were hazy as if she were dreaming. It was a look that came out when I was very proud and happy.

I asked with a light smile.

“… … Is it because it is an opportunity to gain recognition from the vassals?”

“Yes, and that much means that you trust me.”

There was overflowing affection and trust in Seria’s voice.

It was worth it.

Most nobles do not share power with their siblings after becoming head of household.

Having the same lineage is like two sides of a coin.

A traitor who wants to usurp the position of the most trustworthy family member or family head.

There was no reason to toss a coin if one of the two faces came out when tossed.

It was possible to acquire any number of trustworthy vassals, and losing the position of head of household was the end.

Even among the lower nobility, there were often places where brothers and sisters boasted of close friendship. It was a place where a harmonious family like the family of Percus was formed.

But not high-ranking nobles.

They grow up in a competitive relationship with their siblings from birth. Elsie’s family was a prime example.

But to hand over the military authority, which can be said to be the most important of the powers.

There was only one time when high-ranking nobles handed over military power to their siblings.

It meant that I had the confidence that the other person would never betray me.

For instance, Mr. Reynolds of House Rynella did.

Although he was the younger brother of Count Rainella, he was leading the Magic Corps.

Although Mr. Reynolds himself was a great wizard who reached the 6th circle, it would have been impossible to lead the Magic Corps without the trust of Count Rainella in the first place.

It was the same with Seria.

The number of soldiers reaching 1,000 was by no means small. Transferring the command was impossible under normal trust.

She once had an inferiority complex to her older sister, but she was more affectionate than that.

Even if she was thrilled, it wasn’t strange.

“… … I will definitely live up to my sister’s expectations. Recognized by the family knights.”

I could feel the strong determination in Seria’s voice as she murmured.

Even I was overjoyed by the overflowing sisterly love. However, on the other hand, I also felt an ominous feeling in my heart.

It was Seria who loved her sister so much.

What would happen if she found out about my relationship with Delphine-senpai?

A female sister whom she respects and begs her to spank her butt.

Just imagining it was terrifying.

It was a big deal for Delphine to call me ‘Master’, but I didn’t have the confidence to be safe if a more intimate scene was discovered.

There was just one thing I was curious about.

Will Seria stab Delphine or me with a knife?

It was Seria who especially liked and followed Delphine and me.

It seemed like he was going to stab one of them, but it was unclear which one he would stab.

In the meantime, it was so bleak that I couldn’t see a future where no one was stabbed.

In the end, me and one of the Delphine seniors will have to shed blood.

I was lost in ominous imaginations, so I asked Seria just in case.

“… … Come to think of it, Seria.”

“yes?”

Seria didn’t even know what I was thinking and just tilted her head cutely.

His docile attitude, reminiscent of a rabbit, instantly eased my mind.

It was because of that that his true feelings came out inadvertently.

“Last time, there were several incidents with the saintess and Elsie senior… Are you okay? Originally, you didn’t like someone sticking next to me.”

It was a question I had been thinking about for a long time.

At the serious question, Seria immediately waved her hand in astonishment.

“Mu-mushun… Ugh, what are you saying!”

Of course, I also bit my tongue once.

It was a sight I hadn’t seen in a long time. I forced myself to swallow the laughter that was about to burst out.

I saw a hallucination of steam rising from Seria’s red-hot face.

“How could someone like me covet Ian-senpai’s side! Oh, misunderstanding! misunderstanding!”

“… … Um, that’s right.”

I couldn’t believe it at all, but I decided to pretend I understood it first.

It was because she was afraid that if she didn’t, Seria would panic and fall off the horse.

Seria, who had been raging at me for a long time, finally calmed down her rapid breathing by panting.

He seemed to be out of breath from the sudden excitement.

After a while, Seria could barely breathe.

It was only then that her true feelings flowed from her mouth.

“… … Hey, it’s fine now.”

Seria, who lowered her head while blushing, was very beautiful.

It reminded me of the sight of a single flower dropping its petals.

At least that was until I heard a cool voice.

“Because bitches in heat can be dealt with later… … .”

I gazed blankly at the aquamarine-colored eyes that had lost their light, but soon turned my gaze away in silence.

And promised again.

Seria would never find out about her tryst with Delphine.

A drop of sweat ran down my forehead as I rode the horse.

**

As Seria said, the people of the north were famous for their big-hearted disposition.

Of course, there was also a fierce and rough side.

But more than that, they were cool and loyal. Its temperament was close to that of the Southern Ten Kingdoms.

Respecting martial arts, they always welcomed the visits of the strong.

I was no exception to that either.

As soon as I arrived, there was a buzz in the garrison.

Every time I passed by, the soldiers glanced at me like onlookers, and even the knights waved their hands and pretended to know me.

At least, Nogisa, who temporarily commanded the soldiers, was dignified.

“Nice to meet you, Gongja. My name is Alex, who assists the Yurdina family, though lacking.”

The old man in heavy heavy armor had a very strong and strict impression.

At first glance, it seemed that he had never used any shortcuts in his entire life.

After paying respects to Seria, I held Sir Alex’s hand without hesitation.

“It’s an honor to meet you… … .”

And back, and the pressure applied to the hand.

Because I was wearing the gauntlet, I thought for a moment that the bones in my hand would be crushed. He managed to survive by turning his magic right before that.

Sir Alex’s expression was solemn despite the fearsome grip.

I wanted to pull out the ax right away, but I held back first.

Instead, he used strength in his hand to keep Sir Alex in check.

The gauntlet clicked and the sound of metal plates crossing began to come out.

“Hmm… … .”

He let out a sound that he couldn’t tell whether it was a moan or a sigh, and Sir Alex finally let go of his hand.

He looked down at my hand for a moment, then looked away indifferently.

It was as if the strength struggle they had just exchanged was a normal greeting.

“… … We will guide you where to stay. Please follow me.”

I was dumbfounded and burst into laughter.

My gaze naturally turned to Seria. Seria just kept a wry smile as if she knew that would happen.

“Are they unusual people?”

“a lot.”

I had no choice but to grumble and follow Sir Alex.

Of course, things didn’t stop there.

While looking around the garrison with Seria, a heavily armed young knight appeared in front of me.

He pounded his chest and shouted.

“It is an honor to meet the rumored hero, Confucius! Could you please take a look at that skill?”

Then cheers erupted from all around.

I couldn’t even tell if he was making fun of me or if he was doing it with pure intentions.

Sarah smiled awkwardly.

Just looking at that would make Seria seem to be keeping her composure, but I knew it.

Now, if you wait a little longer, you will see that Seria explodes and it is Marie.

It seemed that he did not like the situation in which the senior he respected became a spectacle.

A faint smile appeared on Seria’s lips.

Seeing that her hands, whose shadows had disappeared from her pupils, reached for her waist, I had to act immediately.

With a boom, the body of the young knight floated in the air.

It was a moment when the eyes of the victim as well as the onlookers who were watching were wide open.

A pure white beam of light penetrates the city.

It was a speed that was impossible to even respond to. The hatchet that was fired immediately converted its momentum into impulse.

If it hadn’t been for the armor, the knight would have been struck by a hatchet instead of floating and died instantly.

My hand rose as the hit hatchet spun and bounced up.

Soon, the ax that turned its trajectory with a tak landed in my hand.

It was at the same time that the young knight fell to the ground.

The sound of metal rolling echoed with a thud.

“… … Cool.”

The young knight coughed and merely testified of the shock I had received.

All the attention of the onlookers was focused on me.

Looking at those bulging eyes, I felt like protesting them.

If Seria had stepped in, it wouldn’t have ended like this.

It must have been a bloody storm.

Not knowing how I felt, Seria just sent me a twinkling look.

“Mmm, cool! Senior Ian.”

In the end, rumors spread that an idiot had arrived in the garrison soon.

The only pity was that the idiot was me, not Seria.
