Chapter 11 (2/2)
“I… I don’t think I’m suited to it”
“Couarantee that you should feel proud of yourself”
“Wh, what do youthat I should feel proud?”
“There is a saying that ‘a genius already knows he is genius, and a beauty already knows she is a beauty Rather, it is weird if they don’t realize it theenius and the beauty, aren’t we?”
“This little angel! Are you showing off yourself because you’re a e now?”
She gently pulled Ian’s cheek with an embarrassed face
Ian didn’t try to avoid his mother’s hand, like a normal ten years old boy
‘At least, for mother…’
She ed
He wanted to be a cute child for her this time
Knock knock!
While Ian’s cheek was being pulled, someone knocked on the door
“Come in!”
As Ian shouted quickly, his mom released his cheek quickly
“Mr Mage, Mrs Page”
A maid of the house opened the door
She greeted theently
“Dinner is ready Are you ready to go?”
“Yes, we are”
Ian and Vanessa followed the servant
At the restaurant, The great landlord and his fa for Ian
The food hadn’t come out yet
As the old butler informed, it seemed the landlord had wanted to talk with him first before the dinner
“Oh! Welcome, welcome”
With a welcoreeted them
Unlike when he greeted the, this time he truly welcomed them
“How are your wounds?”
“Thanks to ht”
“That’s good to hear”
“The grace I received, I really want to thank you for that”
With a gentle attitude, the great landlord thanked Ian
His son, Labi, also bowed to Ian
“You have saved the present, future and foundation of the Mogrian house If I repay this grace poorly, I shouldn’t be called a great landlord of the empire”
The present of the House reat landlord,
The future meant his heir
The foundation hts and soldiers
“I have thought about it At first, I had thought about enerous repays to you”
The landlord paused shortly, while breathing roughly
He still suffered from his wounds and the time he had been unconscious
“Ah, please don’tyou have already overcome the human’s common desire, or soe, you can obtain it whenever you want”
It was true
Even Ian had spoken siaret
Margaret’s body shook a little bit as she remembered what Ian said
“So, the conclusion I made was…”
The landlord spoke while putting so on the table
It was an old ordinary wood box
“Please open it”
The landlord looked at Ian which encouraged him to open it
Ian already knew the content of it
‘Mogrian ring’
He could realize when he looked at the box
It was the box which contained the Mogrian ring
‘It was a wise choice to lend it once’
After the event on the Mogrian mountain ended,
Ian returned the ring as he pro that it helped him a lot
‘I was thinking aboutit later, anyway’
He didn’t expect them to hand it over before he even asked
With satisfaction, Ian opened the box
As he expected, the Mogrian ring was sat in the box
“I already heard the story You said that you can feel ”
“I realized that it wasn’t an ordinary ring”
“I hadn’t known I just regarded it as an old ring”
The great landlord paused
He looked at the ring, the heirloom of the house, for a moment
“What kind of power the ring contains? Is it helpful power to you, Mr Mage?”
“Being honest, I may dare want to steal it”
“Is it that ood to hear”
As he was satisfied, he nodded
“The ring, I will give it to you”
Giving the heirloom of the house to an outsider?
It wasn’t common that that happened
The heirloom included the history of the house
Although, none of the family members of the house seem to be shocked
They reed with it before
“But, isn’t it the heirloom of your house?”
“Please regard it as a sign”
“Sign of what?”
“It is the sign that froe,serve you as the ‘Eternal Guest’ of the Mogrian house”
This was an astonishi+ng proreat landlord had just made
‘Eternal Guest’ wasn’t just a simple metaphor
It was the eternal pledge that a noble of the empire must keep
“Would you take this offer?”
The great landlord asked very seriously
Everyone aiting for Ian’s choice
“……”
Ian started to think
This pledge is not just a simple repayment
Because Ian knew the characteristic of the great landlord of Mogrian
At the valley, He must have seen the enormous potential within Ian
With this present, he was trying tobond with Ian
‘It is not a bad offer’
Honestly, it was quite a sweet offer
One day in the future, it will help Ian
Ian stretched out his finger
Instead of answering, he wore the Mogrian ring, the ring of the pledge
“We, the house of Mogrian,”
As the landlord saw Ian wearing the ring, he recited ‘the pledge of the eternal guest’
“We will alelcoladly stand by his side whenever he needs our help This proeneration, and froeneration, in the name of the most northern stream of Greenriver”
After the pledge, Ian becareat house of the northern territory, the shi+eld of the empire, the rian
It was the first step of the e, which he had never achieved in his former life
