608.
A middle-aged man was doing paperwork in his office which had a clear view of the building’s garden.
dripping-
A knight came in with a knock.
“Captain.”
“What’s going on?”
“A guest has arrived.”
“That’s strange. “I haven’t heard of Rodren sending an envoy.”
Sis said without taking his eyes off the document.
The knight answered those words.
“This is not a Rodren delegation.”
At those words Sith’s hand stopped for a moment.
Then he clicked his tongue and said.
“Kick them out.”
Sith Sigmar.
He was the leader of the Tyussen Knights who actually managed the Lessentong region.
As a hero with the nickname Crimson Wave he was also a man known to the outside world as the master of Resentung.
The Lesenteng region gets very cold in winter due to the influence of the northern part of the continent.
However in the spring summer and fall it was a land with a very warm climate due to the influence of the fire spirits that settled here.
In addition since most of the territory was a vast plain it was a granary in the western part of the continent where grains grew well.
In addition as it is the land where the great spirit of fire has been settled for a long time it is also a place where high-level spirit stones are produced.
That’s why countless countries wanted to trade with the Leshenteng region.
However the only country with which the Tyussen Knights officially interacted was the Rodraine Empire.
Decades ago.
When the Kingdom of Tungcan was attacked on a large scale by Tartarus most of the countries that were Tungcan’s allies watched Tungcan’s destruction.
This was to prevent the damage from spreading to their own territory due to the scale of Tartarus’ invasion which was unusual at the time.

In addition the request for support was rejected because the western hegemony the Lordren Empire dispatched a large number of heroes and troops.
In the end the invasion of Tartarus was stopped but in the process all of Tungcan’s royal family lost their lives or went missing.
Tungcon which suffered great damage also naturally perished and disappeared into the back of history.
Afterwards the Knights of Tyussen who succeeded Tungken cut off exchanges with countries that were friendly countries at the time but ignored the crisis.
The knight quickly corrected himself at the Sith’s sharp reaction.
“It is not a delegation from another country. The guests came from Rodraine. “This is a sudden visit not a delegation.”
“hmm?”
“The people of Sjerdinger and Lwalin have arrived.”
“Jerdinger and Llewalin?”
Sis looked up from the document and stood up.
Then I went to the large window in the room and looked out.
He looked at the four people in the lead with a puzzled expression.
“You look familiar.”
“Leo Plov the student council president of Lumern. And Celia Gerdinger and Abad Lwalin and Chelsea Lwalin from the same grade.”
“indeed. “Are they the friends who are causing a stir in the world these days?”
Sith exclaimed.
“Then I guess I’ll have to go greet the guests.”
***
After revealing their identities Leo and his party were able to be guided to the reception room without difficulty.
“I heard that the Tyussen Knights are not friendly to foreign nobles. “I’m glad I was able to meet Crimson Wave without much difficulty.”
“Because our empire and the Tyussen Knights continued to interact. Even so since it was a sudden visit I thought it would take some time to see Sis immediately but I never thought I would be able to see him right away like this.”
The Tyussen Knights manage the Lessentong region.
In the case of the knight commander who leads such a knight order he can be said to be the highest ranking person in the region.
In fact the Sith rose to the status of heroes.
Owner of the fertile Lesenteng region.
In other words he is a man with the same status as a king.
Even if Gerdinger and Llewalin’s direct relatives came if they came suddenly procedures were necessary for an audience.
But to be able to meet right away like this?
“You must be busy with business but I’m a little surprised.”
As Celia spoke in a slightly embarrassed voice the middle-aged knight who was listening to the conversation at the entrance to the parlor grinned.
“Because the people who visited were Leo and Celia.”
“Me and Leo?”
“yes. “The previous head of the Gerdinger family spared no effort in helping the Lesenteng region which had been devastated by the invasion of Tartarus be quickly rebuilt.”
“Your grandfather?”
“yes. While helping to rebuild the Lesenteng region he had no wish for anything. Later Tyussen tried to repay the favor but he refused. And you did not announce to the outside world the help you provided for the Lessen Tung region.”
There was deep respect in the middle-aged knight’s eyes.
The reason Legas spared no effort in supporting the reconstruction of the Lesenteng region may have been due to the great influence of his wife Naila.

However no matter how much he loved his wife it is not easy for him as the head of the family to help others without receiving anything in return.
Especially if you have a lot.
‘If you think about it my grandfather had almost no personal property.’
Even if you are the head of the family it does not mean that you can do everything in the family as you wish.
Therefore it is usually necessary to create assets that can be freely managed separately.
In particular if you become the head of a famous family of heroes like Gerdinger your wealth will naturally accumulate.
Legas had none of that.
It seems that the reason was because he secretly helped the Leshenteng region.
Leo who was listening to the story muttered.
“You are a knight among knights.”
“huh? Grandfather of course you are the best knight. Did you join the ancestors of the greatest knight Jerdinger? Of course”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Leo chuckled at Celia’s words.
“It means that we have inherited a spirit that has been passed down since ancient times.”
A noble and just soul who does not hesitate to sacrifice for the weak and fights against injustice.
He is literally a model of an honorable knight.
There are certainly things in the world more valuable than territory and wealth.
Although others did not know Gerdinger’s immediate descendants were well aware of that fact.
‘I guess that’s why they’re called the best knight family.’
Celia lifted her chin and spoke at Leo’s words.
“Of course he’s my grandfather.”
That was when Leo chuckled at those words.
The living room door opened and a middle-aged man appeared.
The middle-aged man’s first impression reminded me of a fair judge who values principles.
Leo looked at the other person for a moment and muttered to himself.
‘Are you a spirit knight? Besides he’s strong.’
A feeling of intimidation like a warrior who has gone through countless battlefields.
He was a strong man whose power was comparable to that of the heroes that Leo had met so far.
‘Is this person Sith Sigmar leader of Tyusen?’
Leo looked at Sis in silence.
The moment Sis entered the room he saw Leo as well.
To be precise I looked at Leo and Celia alternately.
The strong-looking eyes wavered for a moment.
The knights in the drawing room saluted Sith.
“Would you mind going out to talk to the customer?”
The knights looked puzzled at the sudden remark but immediately left the parlor.
Until then Sith was just staring at Leo and Celia.
After a moment Sith opened his mouth.
“The wizards of Lwalin….”
“You are my friends so you can talk comfortably.”
I have already explained the situation to Chelsea and Abad.
Sith nodded at those words.
“Then I will ask you directly.”
Sith said looking at Leo intently.
“What is your relationship with the Tungcan royal family?”
Leo looked a little surprised at that question.
Celia was also surprised.
Sith said while looking at the two.
“My family the Sigmar family has been a confidant of the Tungcan royal family for a long time. When I was very young before Tungken was destroyed I only met the royal family once. So I vaguely remember what they looked like.”
A long time ago Tungcan’s records were all lost during the invasion of Tartarus.
All of the remaining records are in the royal palace in Tungken but the royal palace is currently under seal.
No portraits or records remain.
Additionally since there are no hero relics hero records cannot be opened.
Therefore the appearance of the Tungken royal family remained only as a memory of those who met them before they all disappeared.
Sith was one of those people.
“I didn’t know much about Gerdinger’s immediate descendants when I saw them in the photo but when I looked at them like this they came back to me in my memory. Celia Gerdinger. “Your appearance is very similar to that of princesses.”
‘My grandfather and father often said that I resembled my grandmother.’
Celia muttered to herself.
“Besides Leo Plov.”
The Sith’s eyes were fixed on Leo.
“Your hair is the same color as the Tungcan royal family I saw back then.”
When you read it in the newspaper you can’t tell because you only see black and white photos.
All that is known is that he has white hair.
But in person Leo’s hair was the same color as the Tungcan royals that the Sith remembered.
Leo played with his hair as Sis spoke.
‘You said that my grandmother Nyla Gerdinger has dyed her hair ever since she married my grandfather Regas and became Gerdinger’s mistress right?’
I was curious because it was a hair color that did not exist in my father’s family the Plov family and it was a color that did not exist in my mother’s family the Gerdinger family but it seems that it was a hair color I inherited from here.
“I’ll ask you again. “What is your relationship with the Tungken royal family?”
Celia looked at Leo in response to Sith’s question.
Leo opened his mouth at that.
“Wife of the former head of the Gerdinger family Legas Gerdinger. So my grandmother Nyla Gerdinger’s real name is Lena Tungken.”
Sith’s body trembled at those words.
“Princess Lena’s?”
Leo handed over the documents he received from Legas.
Sith confirmed this and took a deep breath.
A pendant-shaped artifact enclosed with the document.
A red spirit stone was embedded in the cubic part of the pendant and the symbol of the Tungcan royal family was clearly engraved on the spirit stone.
Legas Gerdinger who helped rebuild the devastated Lesenteng region for decades without receiving any compensation.
In return for the favor the Tyussen Knights hoped to come under Gerdinger’s control but Legas Gerdinger refused.
I finally realized why he was like this.
“How could it be that I… Tyusen… the people of Tungken have been searching for members of the royal family?”
Among the young and young the name Tungken has already been forgotten.
There is nothing to remember Tungcon from.
Tartarus completely destroyed everything related to Tungkon in the region of Resentung.
The only remaining legacy is the Royal Palace of Tungken.
Anything for which there are no records is quickly forgotten.
Even if you want to teach and pass it on it is impossible if there are no records.
Even the hero who saved the world at the beginning has been completely forgotten in people’s memories.
However those who lived during the reign of the royal family still remember it.
People from the royal family who sacrificed themselves for the people.
How much blood and sweat they shed to create a good country.
“Grandma… says she lived her whole life with a sense of guilt for not being able to protect many people. In the end the country was destroyed and many people were sacrificed in the process so he felt responsible. “As the only surviving member of the royal family you cannot rule over those who cannot protect you. If the people of this land are happy then you are happy.”
“Ah… how can you think like that?”
The Sith who had searched for the royal family’s survivors for a long time and eventually gave up could not help but be heartbroken.
I never dreamed that royal blood would survive so close to me.
Sith who had lowered her head and shed tears soon raised her head.
His eyes were full of broken will.
“Now all that remains is for this land to return to its rightful owner.”
Sith’s eyes turned to Leo and Celia.
“Who will be king?”
At those words Celia looked at Leo.
“You must be Leo Plov.”
Sith nodded as if he understood.
“I will prepare for the coronation right away! “So that you can ascend to the throne tomorrow!”
Celia looked embarrassed at those words.
“Tomorrow?”
“yes! Lesenteng has been without a king for too long! “Now that the rightful owner has returned we must ascend the throne tomorrow and announce it to the world!”
“But isn’t there such a thing as preparation? Preparing for the coronation in just one day. “It’s physically impossible.”
“Is there anything in this world that cannot be done?”
‘This person. It was clear that you had a cool-headed image just a little while ago but why are you suddenly throwing things at me without thinking twice?’
Celia looked embarrassed.
When Leo saw the Sith’s appearance he thought of someone.
‘Sounds like Defessaire.’
Defessère.
This is the dragon that assisted Lisinas as a gold dragon.
It was also a dragon in charge of the internal affairs of Guardsrone.
He was usually a thorough person but when it came to things related to great heroes his eyes would roll over like this.
His expression and the way he suddenly turned away reminded me of him who lost his life a long time ago.
Leo who was laughing said.
“Let’s do that slowly. “Before that.”
“yes. “Please tell me.”
Sis whose tone of voice had suddenly changed spoke politely.
‘I guess the Tungcan royals were really nice people.’
I can’t believe his attitude changed so much just because he was of Tunkon blood.
“I want to meet the spirit of purification.”
***
A city with Gerdinger’s true nature.
payon.
Reina was walking down the streets of her hometown with her husband for the first time in a long time.
“It’s still the same here.”
Dade asked with a worried face as he looked at Rayna who had a happy expression on her face.
“Reina’s body is fine.”
“of course. “Walking like this is actually good because it changes your mood right?”
Reina smiled.
The Plov family’s attendants were anxious about their hostess’s health.
“lady. Should I get you something warm?”
“Reina. “If you’re cold wear gloves.”
“Thank you so much. But it’s okay now so there’s no need to make a fuss.”
Reina who was laughing while covering her mouth sighed softly.
“I wanted to go to Retin with the kids.”
“It’s not too late to go after you feel a little better.”
“huh.”
Raina who was smiling brightly at Dade’s words stopped walking.
“Reina?”
Dade looked embarrassed.
Reina crouched clutching her right breast.
“Reina?”
“omg! “Ma’am!”
Dade and his attendants checked Raina’s physical condition.
“Oh were you alive?”
At that time Raina felt her head go cold when she heard the voice coming from in front of her.
When I looked up what I saw was flames.
Grumbling-
A flame so familiar.
‘My flame?’
“It’s nice to meet my old prey again.”
