chapter 25
25 – Saint of the Holy Kingdom of Iris (2)
After all classes, including swordsmanship and magic, are over
Lily and I are not going back to the palace, we are staying in the dormitory.
It’s neither my room nor Lillie’s room, but Maron’s room.
After skipping classes for a month, the furniture was full.
As expected of a woman(?), The sword collections and management tools were fully stocked.
And next to him sits a woman he has never seen before.
According to what I heard, she is a ‘Paladin’, the commander-in-chief of the forces of the Holy Kingdom of Iris.
She said, no matter how young we are, it is dangerous for a boy to enter a woman’s room.
A guardian named because there is room for misunderstanding.
It seems to be okay with Lillie, but it doesn’t seem to work with others.
And the academy that banned maids from entering the academy
It seems that foreigners are allowed to have one guardian attached.
The more you look at it, the more messed up the school rules are.
By the way, her hair is red.
I really look like my mother, but am I mistaken?
“…”
Did I stare too hard?
She looked at me and then she walked away.
“Nice to meet you, Your Highness. I am Delia Sieghart, Paladin of the Iris Sacred Kingdom.”
“Nice to meet you… Are you Sieghart by the way?”
Is there another surname called Sieghart?
Since it is a large family, it may be that there are branches abroad.
“To put it simply, I am your aunt’s cousin.”
It’s too simple.
If you’re a cousin, isn’t that your mother’s cousin?
It’s 5th degree to me.
Then it’s just a family.
“Uh.. Then you’re my aunt?”
“Yes, I am. Have you ever heard of me from your mother?”
“I’m sorry. My mother never talked about her mother’s family…”
At first, I wondered if we had a bad relationship, but it couldn’t be bad.
Because we are the direct family.
If the collateral family is directly descended and the relationship is bad, only the collateral will suffer.
I wonder if my aunt is a little angry with her mother.
Her face contorts slightly, revealing veins on her forehead.
Well, I can’t help but get angry if my nephew I’m seeing for the first time says he didn’t even know he existed.
But after taking a deep breath to calm her mind, she returned to her former self.
Her aunt seems to be more hot-tempered than she thought.
“Then can I hug you?”
“Of course. And you don’t have to be respectful to me.”
“I can’t do that because it would be rude.”
Then he lifted me off the chair and gave me a strong hug.
Somehow, it smelled like my mother, so I wonder if I missed it for nothing.
I also strongly hugged her aunt.
Time passed, and Maron came inside.
What I’m holding in my hand is a practice sword that I accidentally turned into a holy sword.
Maron suddenly took out the sword and held it high.
I sat there stupidly as if I didn’t know why, but Lillie and my aunt took out their swords in response.
My aunt took out a long sword, and Lily took out a short dagger.
I understood Lillie’s reaction, but not her aunt’s.
No matter how much of a family member he is, he raises his sword against his ward.
Then my aunt shouted.
“Your Majesty! What atrocities are you! Do you think you can be forgiven for raising your sword against Your Highness!”
Even though she is the daughter of a pope, her status is a commoner.
She took out her sword to the queen of a foreign country, and in fact, it was a grave sin that she would not regret even if she was executed.
Of course, I know that you are not trying to hurt me.
If you tried to harm me, the magic spell on her hairpin would have worked, and her saintess would have died in the recoil.
And one of the proofs is that Maron raised her sword and rubbed it against her cheek.
It seems to be seriously ill.
Still, her aunt seems quite perplexed.
When she thinks that the person she is supposed to protect has pointed a sword at her nephew,
Even I would be embarrassed.
And that nephew is the king’s government book.
Lillie must have realized that the hairpin wasn’t responding, so she inserted the dagger, but
My aunt looked at her as if she didn’t understand.
Meanwhile, Maron came to her senses.
She seems to be a child who has a hard time getting out once she falls in.
“Ah, sorry… I was too focused on the sword…”
“No matter how much you say yes…!”
“It’s okay, aunt. Take the sword.”
“But!!”
Looks like you didn’t understand.
Anyway, isn’t it a little strange that the guardian took out the sword to the ward.
After persuading her several times, she put her sword into the scabbard to see if her head had cooled down a bit.
I apologized to Maron.
“Whoa… Yeha I’m sorry.”
“I understand. I’m sorry, Your Highness. It seems my thoughts didn’t reach that far because of the sword.”
My aunt apologized to Maron, and Maron apologized to me.
You seem to be on good terms, but I hope this doesn’t distort you.
Because it’s me, I won’t get hurt.
“No. I was figuring it out at the point the hairpin didn’t work.”
“A hairpin?”
I answered my aunt’s question.
Every single magic effect applied to the Sieghart hairpin and the Kritias hairpin.
As my aunt heard about her hairpin, she unconsciously stroked my hair.
She seems to feel a lot of affection for her nephew.
I also accepted it pleasantly like a cat.
And finally, the main topic.
Maron placed the sword on her table.
“As a result of the appraisal, it was a proper holy sword.”
Not only did it feel, but it seemed to have become the holy sword itself.
Originally, a holy sword is an old sword that is transformed by the flow of goddess power, and is born after a blessing is given.
It is a treasure of mankind.
By the way, the reason why it is a treasure of mankind is that heroes can only be born from humans.
Blessed warriors will inevitably reach the holy sword and defeat evil.
Without evil, neither a hero nor a holy sword is born.
It’s almost like a game cliché.
Here’s a question.
The holy sword is a treasure bestowed upon the warrior, but did the sword gods carry it?
The swordsman is the strongest level that cannot be reached even if a human spends his or her entire life.
There are two contradictions here.
The realm of swordsman that humans cannot reach, a swordsman carrying a holy sword.
Actually, there is nothing special here.
The swordsmen are the ones who are crazy about swords.
No matter how brave you are, you can’t defeat a swordsman who has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
Perhaps the ratio of strength should be 2:8.
To put it simply, the sword god killed the hero and stole the holy sword.
The goddesses who gave the blessing also expressed their anger at the death of the warrior who had bestowed the blessing.
It seems that he cursed the Sword God who stole the holy sword for the first time and took away all his power.
But I guess he’s crazy about swords for no reason.
No matter how much power you take away, no matter how much you curse
If you leave it alone for a few years, it will reach the position of the swordsman again.
Isn’t this the reason why the first time is hard and the second time is easy?
So it seems that even the gods gave up.
If there is a swordsman who stole the holy sword, give him a separate oracle to defeat the evil.
Anyway, the discovery of a proper holy sword means
Proof that a hero is born.
But to make the holy sword artificially?
It’s hard to imagine, but what can I do when I’ve already seen it in front of my eyes.
As I said earlier, the holy sword and the hero are inevitably related, and if one of them appears,
The birth of one is also confirmed.
The holy sword I made recently
Lilie’s training sword and the academy’s training sword.
Two guns.
Then, this generation will have as many as two heroes.
A great event.
When the holy sword was copied, the hero was also copied, a bizarre thing happened.
And what’s even more absurd is that the sword for training has become a holy sword.
The hero of this generation should use the training sword as a holy sword.
“Um…Is this a big deal?”
“It’s a peaceful world, so humans don’t need heroes…”
“No matter how much you are a warrior, the sword for training…”
It is said that the status of a hero in the Holy Kingdom of Iris is quite large.
Just looking at Saint Marron, who is in the same class, is incredibly popular.
In addition, unlike saints, heroes are only born among humans, so they are like hope to humans.
From the moment you are born until you die, you will live your whole life being supported.
But the sword they need to use is a training sword.
I don’t live in style.
I’m sorry for nothing…
“What if I leave this alone and make another sword into a holy sword?”
“It doesn’t mean much because more warriors will be born that much.”
“So what?”
“First of all, I’ve contacted my mother, but I think they’re in a mess right now too.”
“Is it because of me?”
“…..”
Everyone was silent.
The birth of the holy sword and the birth of the hero are constantly being checked,
It is said that even signs can be predicted.
The Sacred Kingdom predicted that two warriors would be born.
It seems that it was judged to be a malfunction or something.
“But, didn’t I say that without evil, neither the holy sword nor the hero would be born? Inevitably?
If I make a holy sword and a hero is born, will evil inevitably arise?”
“That’s not true. The holy sword and the hero are born because evil is born. The opposite cannot exist.”
“Then it wouldn’t matter if it was a training sword…”
It’s what I said, but it’s too irresponsible.
But what should I do when I have already committed it?
A kid who was only 7 years old did it, and he can’t be held accountable.
Ah.
I had a good idea.
If the sword is destroyed even now, wouldn’t a hero not be born?
You just need to break the inevitable fate.
I take out the mana core and change it to fire attribute
I poured all available magic power into it.
The magic core that was created became hotter and hotter and then turned into bubbling magma.
I dipped the holy sword I made earlier into it, and it disappeared without a trace.
The expressions of Maron and Auntie who saw that scene were seriously crumpled.
“I’m not surprised anymore. Was the holy sword a melting item?”
“I made it with my own magic, so wouldn’t it be able to melt with my own magic?”
The conversation between Maron and her aunt seemed very friendly.
The two of them are just asking questions as if they have given up on thinking any more.
I’m not thinking about it.
And there is one thing I overlooked.
Lily is smiling wryly as if she realized that.
The Holy Sword was created and disappeared, and the same problem is nothing compared to this one.
“Why is Your Highness able to create a holy sword and destroy it?”
A holy sword is a sword made by a goddess with her goddess power.
Is it possible to imitate that with a new technology that only injects mana…
