Chapter 82: Meeting Cyron (2) (2/2)
“I didn’t bring hiht himself”
“Then you should’ve stopped him Just because his head is empty doesn’t h Luntia shouted at her, Luna didn’t really have anything to say
After all, she was more or less correct
“Whatever So, where’s Father?”
Annoyed, Luna turned her head away fro, Luna had a hard tihter was the only sibling who could talk to her in this manner
“Oh my Did you really return to see Father?”
“Indeed, Sister”
Luntia facepalmed and spat some curses
If Luna wasn’t there, the Runcandel siblings would’ve ripped Jin to shreds
‘What a wonderful family’
Jin sarcastically praised his fahed
“I don’t knohat he’ll do, big sister You, youngest I don’t knohy you even came to see Father, but brace yourself Go ahead He’s in his study”
Jin an to follow hi with the siblings, all of the guardian knights unsheathed their swords
“…As of now, please surrender your weapon and wait, first flag-bearer There was a strict order from the patriarch that we must send Jin Runcandel alone”
Their father, the patriarch; the eldest daughter, the first flag-bearer
Luntia stopped screa at Luna because she wanted to deal with this problem professionally Additionally, it was on Cyron’s orders
‘Ah, this isn’t how I expected it to turn out’
Luna thought At this rate, if their father decides to kill Jin, she won’t be there to become Jin’s shi+eld
“And if I decline?”
As Luna slowly reached for Crantel, a guardian knight stood behind Gilly and put a sword to her throat Since her poere still suppressed, she couldn’t even react
“Please halt, first flag-bearer It is the patriarch’s orders”
“You little—! Put that sword away!”
“You’ve crossed the line If you don’t offer a satisfactory discussion to Father, then you will not return alive As for the first flag-bearer, you can’t evade banishment”
“Please surrender your weapon If you resist, I will kill her”
Luna gritted her teeth
‘We’re doomed… Should I just escape with Jin? dah I didn’t think anything would happen since I thought Father favored Jin…!’
If she fought them and escaped, they were likely to succeed
However, she probably couldn’t save Gilly and would live the rest of her life being chased by the Runcandel Clan
Of course, losing Luna—who had becoeniuses, and the strongest knight after Cyron—would be a great loss for the clan
However, the Runcandel Clan wasn’t a rational clan Even though they would lose a significant amount of power as a consequence, the orders of the patriarch were absolute
At this point, Jin had no choice but to satisfy Cyron’s will
Still, Jin was expressionless the entire time
“…Brothers, Sisters It seems that you are all worked up As a son—as ato Father Please callares and lowered their voices
They were all just keeping an eye on Luna with a ‘professional’ attitude
“Eldest Sister Luna and Gilly, I apologize for putting you in such a situation”
Jin began to walk towards the residence
He did expect such a reaction fro if he said he wasn’t nervous
‘My siblings don’t know Father that well It’s against the rules for a provisional flag-bearer to return to the ly, Father isn’t that strict with rules’
Either way, getting soer was iaression, Jin thought that it was much easier to understand his Father
Usually, he couldn’t even look his father in the eye Noever, Jin found ithim
‘If I just stay alert, then I can succeed If he just gives me a chance to talk, I must’
Phew
Jin took a deep breath as he arrived at the study’s door and carefully knocked
Knock Knock
Swoooooosh
Simultaneously, a blade beam flew past Jin’s head—undetectable to Jin at the hly I’ voice followed soon after The blade bearated the door to the study into dust
As he looked at his father, Jin felt himself smile internally
For some reason, his s he wanted to discuss constantly popped up in his mind
‘I can’t say that I’m sorry I must maintain a confident attitude, but not to a point where it comes off as disrespectful’
He immediately chose his response
“I caain, Father”
