Episode 153
Vincenzo came up from the basement carrying Delbaek’s head.
In that state, I walked straight toward the place where I could feel Fidanel’s presence.
I saw Fidanel not far away.
Fidanel frowned when he saw it in Vincen’s hand.
“What have you done?”
“I cut you because you tried to kill me.”
Vinchen’s words caused waves in the Presbyterian House.
An investigation team was immediately set up in Adenka, and they inferred the situation based on the sword marks and traces of the underground.
A little time has passed.
“It looks like Elder Delbaek is the one who draws the sword first.”
After examining the traces left on the body, the investigators came to a conclusion.
“Elder Delbeck fully anticipated Prince Vincen’s attack.”
stiffness of the muscles.
It looked like he was holding a sword.
Traces of mana flow left in the magic circuit.
to the footprints.
Everything proved that it was not Vincen’s surprise.
“All circumstances indicate that what Confucius Vincent said is true.”
One of the 4 Elders.
Fidanel frowned.
“So, did you mean that Vincen won a fair sword fight with Delbaek?”
does that make sense?
Vinchen is now only a sixteen-year-old child.
How could an elder be defeated by such a child?
“…the traces at the site speak for it.”
“Nonsense!”
And Versa appeared on the spot.
“Do you really think that makes no sense?”
Fidanel looked towards Versailles.
“Mrs. Versailles…!”
“Vinchen has already defeated the 6-star soldier Jeron through a fair sword fight. You wouldn’t know that.”
“Hana Delbaek is an elder. Even though he lost his right arm, he is still an elder of the Presbyterian Church.”
“So, isn’t Adenka’s future bright?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Vinchen, now only sixteen, decapitated the elder. Aren’t you looking forward to the 20-year-old Vinchen?”
“A person is dead.”
“If you did something to die, you should die.”
Fidanel’s body trembled.
“It is a grave sin to kill an elder out of personal feelings. It will have to be dealt with according to the strict laws of the Presbyterian House.”
said Julian.
– Brother, are you okay?
‘You still look like a coward.’
-Pecking is normal and not pecking is abnormal. It means that I am normal and my brother is abnormal.
‘Can’t you feel what I feel?’
-What?
‘My father is approaching.’
Julian could feel it one tempo later than Vincen.
Yulian felt the thrill in his own way.
-older brother. No matter how I think about it, I think I did well.
It was Yulian’s ruse that involved Versa and Khan in this case.
Of course, it was Vinchen who had the guts to do this.
‘You just said that you might be plotting something like this in the Presbyterian House, so you could talk to your mother and father and consider getting help.’
– So that was a ruse.
‘But Daniel’s daughter might not be in the Presbyterian House, so I thought I’d consider it for now.’
-That’s a very common sense idea, isn’t it?
‘I still judged Daniel’s daughter to be in the Presbyterian House.’
Julian mentioned various possibilities.
Vinchen chose one of those possibilities and proceeded.
-Is that so? Big brother, shit is thick, what is this?
‘I did well.’
Yulian nodded.
I wanted to actively refute, but I didn’t have much to refute.
In fact, if he was in the same situation as Vinchen, he would not be able to use this method.
It would have been too risky if Daniel’s daughter hadn’t been in the Presbyterian House.
-is it so. good job bro
Julian pouted a little.
At some point, he was thirsty for Vincen’s praise.
‘But without your help, it would have been impossible for me too.’
-…yes?
‘It means well done.’
-lol.
Julian laughed without hesitation, but soon hid his feelings, saying, ‘I’m not happy about compliments like that!’
Even so, I really couldn’t hide it.
It was because Vincen and Julian were mentally connected.
Still, it seemed that Julian had to pretend to hide it somehow.
– I feel it while watching my brother. The fate of the number two and number one seems to be innate. I don’t think I’ll ever be like my older brother.
Soon after, Khan arrived.
“As the family head of Adenca, I have understood and understood the independent authority and dignity of the Presbyterian House. But this time it crossed the line.”
Kahn confirmed it with his own eyes.
The body of an unidentified young girl was being moved from the Presbyterian House.
There was even a powerful explosive magic formula engraved on the body.
“I will activate the black order, so the guardsmen of the guard hall seal the presbyterian house and cut the throats of all those who seek escape.”
His gaze turned to Vinchen.
They also found Delbaek’s head in Vincen’s hands.
“Why did you kill him?”
“You cut me because you wanted to cut me.”
Khan thought for a moment, then answered.
“Well done.”
Elder Fidanel shouted in a fit of panic.
“house owner! What do you mean!”
“I’ve never given an elder a say.”
Meeting Khan’s eyes, Elder Fidanel bit his lip, but soon avoided Khan’s gaze.
Khan spoke calmly.
“Those who are at least a little bit responsible for this incident should confess and relieve themselves of their sins even a little bit.”
His voice spread throughout the presbytery.
It was to induce a confession.
“and.”
Khan looked at Vincen.
His gaze was very different from before.
Khan of the past always looked at Vincen with a testing look.
What qualities do you have as a successor?
what rank do you have?
‘Now the verification is over.’
For successor candidates, the family head’s verification has always been harsh.
The standard was very high, and even if that standard was achieved, the next standard existed.
so that.
Trust was given to those who passed the verification.
It was so natural.
“I will appoint Vincen Adenca as the person in charge of leading this case.”
Kahn was not testing a candidate for successor.
It was to give his son, who had grown up as a great warrior of Adenca, a mission worthy of him.
“I don’t trust you. Vincen.”
He left a word and turned around.
* * *
So far, many things have not been revealed.
Little is known about Adenka.
Kidnapped Daniel’s daughter from the Presbyterian House.
I tried to move Daniel through him.
Vinchen caught it.
Vinchen reported alone to Khan and Versa, and eventually found his daughter’s body.
The Khan, who was greatly angered, invoked the highest command, the Black Order, and entrusted the investigation to Vincen, who was only sixteen.
This incident had a great impact in Adenka.
The warriors of Adenca talked about this incident whenever they got together.
“According to rumors, there must be people involved in the Mage Tower.”
“But why did he bother to do such a thing in the Presbyterian House?”
But all of that was incidental.
What they were really paying attention to was that the person in charge of the investigation was Vinchen.
“Isn’t this only interpreted as ignoring the elders?”
“On the contrary, it can be said that Prince Vincen has monopolized the trust of the head of the household.”
“That is a very positive interpretation. Even if the 2nd princess, Deia-sama, took over, the elders would say it would be disgraceful.”
Opinions were divided, but there were some things that most unmanned people had in common.
“Anyway, Lord Khan drew his sword against the elders.”
“It’s like a declaration of war.”
The elders hold most of the real power in Adenka.
500 years of history has not been so easy.
Although the family’s military power was unrivaled, the world was not moved by force alone.
“If Prince Vincen doesn’t do something fatal to the Presbyterian House this time… the position of the head of the family will diminish.”
Nevertheless, the entrustment to Vinchen suggested many things.
“so? Where is Confucius Vincenzo and what is he doing?”
“I guess he’s still a cadet, so he can’t carry out black orders.”
It has all the conditions to become a paseongmuin.
Vinchen returned to the Red Fort through the fastest route possible.
Wilson was unable to accompany Vincen because of his slow pace and caught up behind the spiritist Seriman Vincen.
“Confucius! Look over there! The gates of the fort are wide open.”
Not even 3 years have passed.
At that time, he should have passed Lord Vargon’s test.
Vinchen had directly ordered ‘open the gate of the fortress’ in front of the gate.
But now it’s different.
On the walls of the fortress stood the cadets in their uniforms.
They were already waiting for Vinchen’s return.
“Listen to the black flag.”
A black flag rose above the castle walls.
The black flag fluttered.
“Hear the red flag.”
next to it.
A red flag symbolizing second class.
next to it.
A brown flag symbolizing third class.
next to it.
A purple flag symbolizing 4th grade.
next to it.
A blue flag symbolizing 5th grade.
next to it.
A yellow flag symbolizing 6th grade.
next to it.
The white flag that sings 7th grade.
Seven flags fluttered in the wind, and the cadets raised their swords in unison to welcome Vincen’s return.
Wow-!
A shout broke out.
They retrieved the sword they had lifted and poured out applause towards Vincen.
He paid his respects to what Vincen had done.
Seri’s eyes were red because she was crying for no reason.
‘It’s really different from before.’
So many things have changed.
And Vinchen’s back, walking right in front of him, felt huge.
Seri wiped away her tears and walked after Vincen.
When you arrive at the gate.
Herka’s voice came.
“Cadet Vincen, stand there and listen to the message of the Red Fort Commander.”
The cheering ceased.
An unprecedented simple breaking ceremony has begun.
This was Herka’s consideration.
This was much more efficient and faster than having to go through complex procedures in the fort.
“As a cadet of the Red Fort, Cadet Vincen raised the honor of the Red Fort and showed an activity that exceeded all expectations that he could show as a cadet. In this regard, the fortress commander acknowledges that Vincen cadets have been promoted to paseong military personnel under the name of the fortress commander.”
Vincent stood there.
Proceeding with the breaking ceremony meant that Vincen was no longer a cadet, but a soldier in Adenca.
He held the sword in his left hand.
He brought it to his chest and held it obliquely.
– Shouldn’t you be holding it with your right hand?
‘Sir Herka knows I’m definitely left-handed.’
So, in order to show real courtesy to Herka, it was right to hold it with your left hand.
Herka saw it too.
‘It sucks.’
Herka was proud of Vincen.
Vinchen put the hand holding the sword to his chest and was polite to this side.
It was very special, and at the same time, it was overwhelming.
“Go. Go and prove the things you learned at the Red Fortress with your actions.”
To be honest, I didn’t learn much from the Red Fort, though.
He grew up well knowing that.
Herka was a little embarrassed, but he said so.
“You are now a full-fledged fighter and will be able to act in the name of Adenka.”
Vinchen, who held the sword, bowed his back.
Then I turned around.
“Let’s go, tax collector.”
“Are we going back like this?”
“okay.”
All complex procedures have been simplified.
Even getting a new uniform.
Being assigned to a new swordsman.
Everything was put off for a while.
The important thing now was to accurately re-examine this case and uncover the truth.
Vincen, who officially became a paseong warrior, returned to Adenca’s home.
