Chapter 42: Enemies In And Out (2) (2/2)
Rosa had su-bearers in addition to Myu and Anne in order to test Jin
To be le child in this room
She wanted to see how far she could push her children, and whether they’d persistently try to tear each other apart
‘I wonder how the youngest will pull through this situation He’s a smart boy, so I’m sure he won’t act conceited fro him… So what will he do?’
Rosa asked herself She was excited and curious, but made sure to maintain the furious expression on her face
Would he pretend to defend his siblings and tell her to punish him instead?
If he si his mother on his side, then that was the end of it While Jin was a rare genius for reaching 5-star at 15 years old, if that was the extent of his reaction and intelligence, then Rosa was planning on erasing all her interest in her youngest son immediately
Needless to say, even if she were disappointed, he would still be her beloved youngest son He would just be eliminated from the list of candidates for the succession
If Jin did nothing when she gave hie that he wasn’t suited to lead the Runcandel clan
“Mother”
“Speak freely, Jin”
Rosa spoke in a low tone, hiding her excitement
“I quite like the ned to me”
“Do you even knohere the Kollon Ruins are?”
Rosa sneered
“Yes It’s in Zipfel territory, and the Runcandels once tried to invade and capture it, but failed to do so It happened long before I was born, though”
“So you are aware Back then, Elder Tellot went to battle with thirty guardian knights but faced a predicareatly involved with it You won’t be able to do anything even if you go there”
The ned to Jin was ‘theft’
He had to steal so from the Kollon Ruins Jin hadn’t checked the list of items he had to steal yet, but there were probably at least three relics on it
“We can’t verify that if I don’t head there While it’s a dangerous place, I do not believe it’s an unreasonable ned this h for it?”
“What reckless bravado That, or you’re trying to test your mother”
Reckless bravado
It wasn’t a bad reaction, but it wasn’t what Rosa was hoping for
“Moreover, if we suddenly change the issuing of theour clansmen how lax and careless our clan’s system is”
“No clans like that Your sisters were si to harm you And since they couldn’t attack you physically, they took advantage of their authority as flag-bearers”
“That is exactly what I htly
“I do not plan on backing away froht noill definitely lose miserably However, if I successfully accomplish my mission, I would be able to deal thelittered
“In other words, I have a slight chance of winning this fight I knoould be wiser for th, and defeat the, as Elder Sisters are getting on my nerves”
“You could easily die at the Kollon Ruins with the smallest of mistakes Are you really confident in yourself?”
“Yes And if I return successfully from the mission, I’d like to be awarded the swords that were confiscated froed this erous, Mother, I wish to be rewarded according to the amount of risk I took”
““What was that?””
Ran and Vigo spontaneously glared at Jin, whereas Rosa hid her delighted ss just as she had hoped for, as if he had read heryou’d like to take the swords we’re returning—”
“Good I’ll allow it”
Rosa interrupted Vigo’s re a piece of his own ain soive you one of the weapons I own But give up on this mission Your achievements have spread around the world already, so you must remain alive until father returns to the Garden”
If Cyron returned to the Garden of Swords in one uests who came to visit the Runcandel Clan would be disappointed
Thus, people would raise suspicions and say that the 5-star 15-year-old knight was a false rumour started by the Runcandels Some would even believe that the clan tried to cover up the false ruht before the visit
Ran acted as if he orried about this outcome, but Jin tilted his head in confusion
“You’re being hypocritical, Elder Brother Ran If that were such an important problem you ary of, you should’ve stopped Elder Sisters fro this mission to enerous and kind-hearted, but Jin didn’t buy it Ran and Vigo hadn’t opposed Myu and Anne when they decided to assign the Kollon Ruins mission to Jin
Jin could see that Ran was blatantly acting broad-ain their mother’s approval
“Hahaha… That , Ran You should’ve stayed silent like your elder sister instead”
Ran couldn’t stop his ears frohed
“I’est will be able to steal his brothers’ swords now I’ll be watching carefully to see whether it was just an empty provocation, or whether he’ll be able to make it a reality You may all take your leave now”
Once all her children left the room, Rosa propped her chin on her hand
‘…I traest doesn’t turn out like Luna, but it seeest seemed to be famished for conflict Today, it was a verbal battle and not a physical one, but he had co his siblings ere several years older than hirowth so far when he’s back’
Of course, such a thing wouldn’t happen if Jin didn’t return alive from the Kollon Ruins
As soon as they exited the building, Ran and Vigo immediately returned to their rooest for a bit, but simply returned to her room as if she couldn’t be bothered to do so
“Do you actually think you’ll be so lucky this time around as well?”
Myu spoke up without even looking her brother in the eyes She and Anne were standing against the wall, waiting for hiht not know this well, but I’m actually pretty unlucky in life”
“This is the last ti Theso lonely on your way to your destination”
“Haha, thank you for your concern, Elder Sisters Well then, I shall see you another tilared at the boy’s back as he strided away until he disappeared frohts
