The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

28 – Welcome to our family-like Knights! (5)

what kind of situation is this?

I closed my mouth. Because there was nothing else I could do. Of course, I heard about my mother during the consultation. I didn’t expect to see you this soon.

However, no matter how you look at it, it didn’t feel like an ordinary family reunion. Rather, it was closer to the feeling of a prey meeting a natural enemy. Clara was looking at her mother with a very nervous expression.

Conversely, Clara’s mother too. I was looking at Clara the same way. Unlike Clara, her eyes were very cold. To the point where even me next to him felt chilly.

Unless it’s at a level where you really don’t have a sense of hopelessness. It was immediately evident that the relationship between mother and daughter was not normal. The first to break the silence was, of course, Mother’s side.

“I heard the story. The Royal Knights were wiped out?”

“We’re not wiped out! We’re still here!”

“The public decided to call it annihilation.”

That’s right. It wasn’t that everyone had to die unconditionally to use annihilation. Objectively, the current Royal Knights have fallen to the point where they can’t function properly. Exterminated is right.

Not to mention the captain or vice-captain. Even among the members, only three survived, and even one of them escaped. hehehe, I only recited it once. It’s more sh*t than you think.

“The Royal Knights were veteran knights even when they rotted. To be honest, I’m just glad you came back alive.”

“Are you ignoring me now?”

“I’m just telling the truth.”

“My mother has been like that since before! She will always crush me!”

The conversation between the two drew parallel lines. Clara had just entered puberty in terms of an elf’s age. However, my mother also had a lot of coercive aspects.

In fact, during several consultations, Clara said that if you do anything, you need to be recognized by your mother. This was to the extent that it looked like obsessive compulsive disorder from a third person’s point of view.

I don’t think it’s on the level of gaslighting. Still, it cannot be denied that it is an abnormal home education. As expected, her mother did not listen to Clara. continued talking.

“Now that the Royal Knights have been annihilated, there’s nothing you can do. It’s dangerous, so let’s go back to the forest.”

“No, I’m not going back.”

“yes?”

“I have work I must do. Until I have done that duty, I will never go back!!”

Clara’s voice trembled with fear. But as if to hide her fear, Clara shouted with all her might. Then the elves showed a look of surprise.

On the contrary, I nodded my head proudly from the side. Anyhow, that’s how it should be. What if I just follow you? Here, as the leader, I personally stepped forward and persuaded… … .

“You can’t believe you are yelling at me just now?”

“Ugh?!”

“her?”

“Isn’t it? There’s no way you, who are lacking but kind, would shout like that to me, the mother, right?”

hey? Is your head bent at a dangerous angle? Although I knew that elves were flexible. Even so, it’s not like the chin and crown are symmetrical.

I’m not lying, I thought it was a real ghost at the moment. Seeing this, Clara also made a pale expression. I understand, it’s scary even when I see it. What would Clara be like?

I wanted to do something with my heart. I couldn’t. It was because I just saw that scene and my body froze. Then, Clara turned her head and looked at me for a moment.

“leader…….”

“…”

“yea, I got it.”

“…?”

I didn’t do anything. What do you think you suddenly found out on your own? Clara’s expression was full of confidence. Like you think what you’re doing is right. she said.

“Sorry, I can’t go back to the forest yet.”

“yes?”

“At first, I just wanted to go back. For the sake of my colleagues, for revenge. But it was too scary.”

“Of course. It’s too heavy a burden for you who are still young. So…”

“Age doesn’t matter. I’m a decent knight. The current captain told me that.”

That’s right, you taught me such great values. The current leader. Who is the nobleman called the leader? what? mother? Why are you staring at me?

“You’re the one who coaxed my ignorant young daughter.”

“Mother, that’s…!!”

“You be quiet. I’m talking to the captain right now.”

“…”

what? Do you think I’m wearing a badge of leader? How could I see right through the fact that I was the leader? Why, why, because Clara looked at me.

I took a deep breath to calm my confused thoughts. Whatever happened, I couldn’t back down either. Because I can’t let more people get taken away from here.

horse teeth? Will you be able to compete with horses? The opponent is an elf who has lived for hundreds of years. In addition, she was even Clara’s mother. In terms of justification, experience and speech, that side was on top.

Honestly, any parent would say that their child would be left at the limb of knowing they would die. Can I just leave it alone? Even the Royal Knights have already been wiped out once.

“Judging from the fact that he is wearing a sword, he looks like a knight.”

“Yes, once I have the title of knight.”

“Then the story will be fast. Pull out the sword.”

“leader?!”

The cause, the words, and the experience. all pushed He is not an opponent that can be persuaded by halfway thinking. If so, you have no choice but to choose the method with the highest odds.

“I know about the former captain. What a strong, wise woman.”

“…”

“Could you really fill her place? You, a mere human?”

Oh, I lightly ignored the provocation. Did you decide that it wasn’t even worth fighting for? Damn it, I don’t drag it into a bet form somehow. I don’t have an answer. I responded right away.

“It’s better to see once than to say a hundred times.”

“Indeed, for a human being, you’re saying pretty decent things.”

“Prove it. Or do it your way.”

“Okay, I think we can handle it neatly without any fuss.”

Fortunately, this time he accepted my provocation. No, it would be more accurate to say that he wanted that too. In any case, she must also be quite proud of her skills.

“My name is Cluna, and I am the mother of the young daughter here. I am the guardian of the Forest of Eden.”

“warden?”

“It’s a position that oversees the Guardians. In fact, it can be seen as one of the best leaders in the elven society.”

It’s Clara. I wish I could have said that a little earlier.

Death always comes suddenly.

It all started with my husband. Although it was an arranged marriage, she and he were clearly married. Geumseul was also on the very good side. However, that relationship eventually broke down.

The day the demons first appeared on this land, she lost her husband. Just because my husband was there when the gate opened. It was no one’s fault.

It’s just bad luck. Cluna rose from her sorrow. It was clear that if he didn’t stand firm, his daughters would collapse too. She had two daughters.

Among them, the eldest daughter was born with a talent worthy of being called an unsalted genius. The daughter always told Cluna that she too would make a good watchman.

[I want to be a good watchman like my mother! So I want to protect my mother and my younger brother with my own hands!]

[Great idea. I will do my best to help.]

[thank you! mother!]

However, the first daughter did not keep her word. She was a great warrior who fought ahead of anyone else and protected her comrades. In the end, he encountered demons and died in battle.

The last thing I saw was the daughter’s corpse, limbs torn apart. It looked like it was full of traces of his intestines being torn here and there. According to the pharmacist who looked at the body, he was alive to the end.

He died alive, having his limbs torn, and suffering the pain of tearing out his intestines. People around her commemorated her daughter as an honorable warrior. What’s the use of all that?

If you die anyway, everything is over.

All that remains is sadness and despair.

That realization soon led to his obsession with his family. She was strictly forbidden to go out of the woods. They were not even interested in weapons, including swords.

Even though it was so tightly controlled. The last remaining daughter eventually went out of the forest on her own accord and became a Royal Knight. Even she has gone to a place where she can’t help it.

someone says

How obsessed can you run away on your own?

That’s right. This is not normal family love. Rather, it would be closer to ruin. However, it didn’t matter. No matter what anyone says, you just have to stay alive.

After all, as long as you’re alive, you can do anything.

So, I led my troops and came out of the forest. In the name of bringing the remaining compatriots back to Lionheart Fortress, where the Royal Knights were stationed. And I waited.

In the future, there really isn’t much left.

“It’s slow.”

Suddenly, the blade came close to his neck.

“Even pulling out the sword.”

A cold voice came from behind.
