The “Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 134
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
In the Kingdom, there are signs that demarcate the districts. The signs are indicators for the people living in the Kingdom and make it easier for the knights to understand the jurisdiction as well.
The building located around halfway between the Orenso area in the west of the Kingdom and the Fenkol area in the south of the Kingdom is the place for today’s meeting between house Reinfell and house Ranbelk. The mansion is used for nobles’ parties, and it seems too big to be used for just two households, but it would be a good place for the two of the four great noble households in the kingdom to meet.
I was on the roof of a nearby building, watching over the mansion. Although I am in the position of Iris’s escort, I was not allowed inside the building because the content of their discussion is confidential. Iris instead brought along a man who was a butler for house Reinfell. I heard that the old, grey-haired man was a veteran of the family, having served since Iris’s grandfather’s time, and although Iris had refused, he was willing to serve as her escort. It seemed that the heads of both households are not going to attend and that the arrangements would be made between the people who are to be married.
“Well, there’s no way Iris would accept a marriage.”
“That’s true because Iris herself said so. ……By the way, why are you here?”
With a sigh, I talked to the girl standing beside me, Alia.
She was dressed in casual clothes and had a puzzled look on her face.
“Why?”
“That’s my line. It’s a weekday.”
“Neither you nor Iris are at school.”
“We’ve both taken the day off.”
“Then it’s no problem that I take the day off.”
“You need permission first.”
“…… Because Iris didn’t tell me about her marriage.”
Alia said, sticking her lips out in a somewhat dissatisfied way. It seemed that only people in really limited positions are informed about today’s meeting. After all, even Alia, who was always with us, had not been told about it.
“It’s rare that Iris didn’t share it with you.”
“If she would have told me, I would have found out everything I could about him.”
“I understand why she didn’t tell you.”
I think she felt that if she told Alia, things might get complicated. It’s not a joke, but Alia could cause trouble for real. Especially when it comes to Iris, she’ll give it her all.
Alia reached down to her thighs and pulled out a dagger.
“I will not tolerate him if he is strange.”
“Please don’t do this, just saying it could get you in trouble.”
“Why aren’t you ……with Iris?”
“There is a butler escorting Iris right now.”
“Butler …… Wellman, I think.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
I didn’t hear the name of the butler, but I’m sure Alia had someone in mind. She lived with Iris in house Reinfell.
In that sense, Alia is probably in a position of a kind of noble, even if she is a kind of adopted child.
“It’s probably that person. He is an old man, but from my point of view, he seems to be a capable man.”
“Wellman is certainly strong, but I think Iris feels safer with you by her side.”
“That’s why I’m here.”
“…… I thought that even though you were young, you were kind of mature. But you’re still a child, aren’t you?”
“? What do you mean?”
“Girls are complicated.”
I got surprised to hear such a word from Alia.
“It’s something I don’t understand. Are you familiar with a girl’s mind, Alia?”
“I learned it from a book.”
” I’m surprised you read such a book.”
“The book is not mine. It was in Iris’s room.”
“So you are interested in books about a girl’s mind, aren’t you, Iris?”
” I’ve recently started reading the book recently. Do you know anything about what Iris likes to do?”
” Are you asking about Iris’s hobbies? I think it’s sword training.”
“Yes, but Iris likes pretty things too.”
“Oh! That’s surprising.”
“…… That means you don’t understand girl’s mind.”
Alia gave her cold stares and I smiled wryly.
I’ve only known her for a short time. Having said that, despite being Iris’s escort and swordmaster, I may not know a lot about Iris yet though.
“Anyway, you should stay by Iris’s side.”
“I can kind of understand what you’re saying, Alia, but it’s a delicate subject, especially when it comes to the major nobles. I cannot be there.”
“Is that why you’re here?”
” I’m ready to come to her if anything happens. Apart from that, I have to tell you off.”
“Me?”
“As I said before, you can’t be absent without permission. Submit an apology essay later. It’s no use going back now, though, so you can stay here.”
“‘…… Okay. I’ll ask Iris to write it with me.”
Iris has nothing to do with this, but Iris would help if Alia asks. I’m just going to wait and see what happens in the mansion.
I’ve already told Iris what I need to tell her. What I told her was that it was fine to say that she was not getting engaged to be a knight, but it was still too early to declare that she did not intend to be a king.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
