Chapter 48: 36

The Olor family was the parent family of Empress Usis, a concubine of the emperor. And among the nobles in the current empire, they were the youngest born family. It was, of course, the current emperor who gave the title.

 

To make the woman the empress.

 

“One of the clients at the Tabanus guild is Viscount Olor.”

 

A vein of blood came up on the back of Pelliot’s hand holding the black lion piece.

 

“The imperial family intervened.”

 

The yellow golden eagle piece moved. It was a symbol of the royal family.

 

At that moment, Marquis Pardus thought the office window was open. Suddenly, the cold air suffocated him and her wrinkled hands trembled. Turning around, Lupert also closed his eyes with a pale complexion.

 

“Whoo…….”

 

Pelliot let out a very slow, long breath. He was holding back the urge to upset the situation of the empire on the chessboard.

 

Marquis Pardus secretly shed a cold sweat. But his heart was pounding. He was purely admiring Pelliot’s unstoppable momentum, which made the air around him freeze at once without revealing the fangs of the beast.

 

The Marquis was happy. The strength he could not even dare to look at made this man, who was approaching old age, fluttered.

 

The Marquis soon came to his senses and said as he moved his white bear piece .

 

“This is an eyewitness account of the guild staff member of Urvespe in the West. He said he saw a mercenary with a familiar face in the guild warehouse on the northern and western border.”

 

“A familiar face…….”

 

“It was an imperial knight. After confirming the identity according to the eyewitness account, it was really an imperial knight.”

 

“How did you find out?”

 

“Every time he stopped by the capital, it was said that he was at the customer’s cafe. They said he always walked around with women. They recognized him easily because of his handsome face and spots around his eyes.”

 

Pelliot, who recalled his proud Gladigo Knights, clicked his tongue briefly.

 

“Aren’t knights also nobility?”

 

Marquis Pardus, reading Pelliot’s thoughts, shook his head lightly. He meant that very occasionally there are people who believe in their identity and establish themselves.

 

“It’s called a knight.”

 

After thinking for a moment while looking at the chess board, Pelliot moved the black bear. It had the same appearance as the white bear that the Marquis had touched a while ago. The Urvespe guild in the west was a company established by a branch of the Count Urmariti family in the north. In other words, the Urvespe guild meant that it was a bear belonging to the western part and carrying out the orders of Duke Voreotti.

 

Who is the traitor in the West to watch through the Urvespe guld?

 

Marquis Pardus, promptly aware of Pelliot’s will, moved the white goat again.

 

“The knights dressed as mercenaries are constantly looking around and guarding an area of ​​the warehouse. It is said that the entire darkest and most shady area of ​​the warehouse was rented, and the employee who allowed it was Baron Hyrcus.”

 

“That’s a name I’ve heard.”

 

Wherever it is, Pelliot murmured as if recalling his memory.

 

“It’s a vassal of Marquis Hesperi.”

 

At Marquis Pardus’ explanation, Pelliot nodded his head.

 

“I’ve heard from Carnes a few times.”

 

It was a name he heard every time he met Count Carnes Renee, who was also his only friend. He said that due to Baron Hyrcus’ nervous personality, he also frequently bumped into the guild staff run by County Renee.

 

“As far as I know, there are no land grants, right?”

 

“There is a mansion on the estate of Marquis Hesperi.”

 

Pelliot snorted his nose. It seems that they have applied sweet poison to Baron Hycrus’s ear, saying that if he does this job well, saying that he will be granted a territory to rule over.

 

“It must be Viscount Olor.”

 

“It is said that Baron Hyrcus took a vacation a while ago and went to the South.”

 

“Oh dear.”

 

Pelliot moved the white dog-shaped piece.

 

“I’ll have to invite Carnes.”

 

The dog caught the goat, and the goat withdrew from the chessboard and fell into the box that Lupert was holding. Inside the box were all the chess pieces that Pelliot had caught so far.

 

This time, the Marquis of Pardus moved the red swan.

 

“Can you catch it?”

 

The black lion looked at the yellow golden eagle behind the swan.

 

“With respect for His Majesty the Emperor, I’ve been quiet until now. How can I ignore the idiots who dare come into my realm and beg me to kill them?”

 

“You are generous.”

 

“Leo said you should treat your guests properly.”

 

“Hahaha! The Lady learned very well!”

 

“That child is a natural beast.”

 

With a satisfied smile, Pelliot moved the black lion chess piece for the first time.

 

Pelliot, leaning on the back of his chair, leisurely crossed his long legs. Leonia had said that this posture was bad for his body, he had been nagging him recently, so he was restraining himself.

 

Pelliot slowly loosened his legs and looked down at the chessboard.

 

The situation on the chessboard showed an absurd notation because the original chess rules were not followed at all. Intertwined pieces and intertwined colors. It was a mess, as if the current empire had been transferred intact.

 

Belius Empire.

 

Literally the animal kingdom.

 

It was a fierce battle for territory.

 

But for the black beast, it was not particularly exciting. The low-level territorial disputes and non-tickling quarrels with other animals would all be extinguished by the black beast getting up and exposing its fangs.

 

And they will sit down at the feet of the black beast, trembling and peeing.

 

So the black beast arose.

 

“I’ve been so quiet lately.”

 

What were they thinking of climbing so high?

 

“What were we thinking with my daughter.”

 

Pelliot, who was disgusted just by imagining it, covered his mouth with the back of his hand. His dark eyes, which he could not cover, frowned, and even his mouth, which he had covered with the back of his hand, trembled as if in disgust.

 

In this world, the only thing that could make a fuss in front of a black beast was a baby beast that looked just like him. Climbing on its father’s back and being able to stand tall above his head was also a privilege unique to the baby beast.

 

Thinking of his daughter, Pelliot’s lips naturally loosened without even knowing it. However, the surrounding air was not comfortable at all because of the war on the chessboard that unfolded before his eyes, and his heart was twisted.

 

As if disturbing the chilly air, Pelliot stood up.

 

“Lupert, invite Count Reneeto the estate.”

 

“Yes, Duke.”

 

“And Marquis.”

 

The Marquis rose from his seat with Pelliot, and was prepared to listen to the command. Something flew in front of the Marquis in an arc. The Marquis reached out his hand and caught Pelliot’s light throw. It was a blue chess piece in the shape of a snow leopard.

 

It was a spare queen set aside by Pelliot during chess.

“Put a connection to Marquis Ortio in the East.”

 

* * *

 

Leonia was reflected in the large vanity mirror. The black hair, which had been rough and short, came down to below the shoulder of her child.

 

“It’s fun to tie the Lady’s hair these days.”

 

Connie combed her fine black hair and muttered in a sad voice. Normally, she would have decorated it with pretty ribbons and hair ornaments, showing off her skills, but today she couldn’t. After tying it up high like a ponytail, a yellow ribbon was firmly attached to express her regret. It was Connie’s consideration to make sure it didn’t come off easily during training.

 

“Thank you, Connie.”

 

Leonia came down from the dressing table and thanked her.

 

“Take care of your training. You can’t get hurt!”

 

“Yeah, if I get hurt, I’ll hit my dad the same way!”

 

“That’s even worse!”

 

Leonia left Connie saying she would be there, and went to the indoor training ground with Meles, who was waiting outside. The child’s steps were light.

 

“Are you having fun?”

 

Meleis looked at Leonia, who couldn’t control her excitement, not knowing what to do with her. Leonia, who had become more active, expresses her feelings candidly.

 

“You said you learned the fangs of the beast.”

 

The power of the fangs of the beast is scary, but it was very exciting to learn this tremendous power properly for the first time.

 

“My dad said he will teach me himself.”

 

Leonia’s legs fluttered in excitement because she hadn’t seen Pelliot in a long time. The last time she saw her father was the day Marquis Pardus came to visit. Four days have passed since then. She even missed his jokes that were so mean. Still, he told her the training date through Lupert, as if he was a bit busy now.

 

“Did Sister Meleis see Father?”

 

“I haven’t seen him in a while. The Vice Captain sometimes went to report.”

 

“Uncle Mono?”

 

There was another man besides Lupert around Dad.

 

Added another target for Leonia to keep an eye on.

  

 

Upon arriving at the training ground, Leonia found Pelliot standing alone on the training ground. Pelliot, dressed in a white tunic and brown pants, was looking at the ceiling of the training ground. In addition, he had the impression that he looked younger and more free than usual because of his hair that was drenched in sweat. Here, the black eyes looking up at the ceiling were dazzling with light, and he even created an atmosphere that he could not be reached.

 

“Wow.”

 

Leonia admired her, even stopping her steps.

 

“Dad is so handsome!”

 

She took Meles’s hand and trembled and said, look at him.

 

“It’s a fact everyone knows.”

 

Meles grinned. Among the Gladigo knights, there was not a single person who was not amazed by Pelliot’s face at least once.

 

“Then do you like Dad too?”

 

“I respect him.”

 

“Do you want to get married?”

 

“No, Milady.”

 

Meleis was serious.

 

“Life is something to be cherished.”

 

No matter how handsome he was, Pelliot was a beast with a sense of dread and intimidation to the point where it undermined his appearance. In that respect, Leonia, who treated Pelliot without hesitation from the beginning, was truly respected by Meles.

 

“Leo.”

 

Before she knew it, Pelliot lowered his gaze and motioned for her to come.

 

“Dad!”

 

Leonia, who ran over, smiled and hugged him softly.

 

“Long time no see! Were you very busy?”

 

“Yes, I was busy.”

 

Pelliot, who had removed Leonia clinging to his legs, held his daughter in ahug.

 

“You seem comfortable.”

 

Pelliot tilted his head as he looked at his daughter, who had grown heavy in the past few days. The eyes that looked closely at Leonia were very serious. When he held her in his arms, it felt like the level of the eyes he met was a little higher than usual.

 

“Are you gaining weight?

 

“Ask if I am tall.”

 

“That or that.”

 

“Did you pick out only the ugly words?”

 

The grumpy Leonia pouted her lips and glanced at Pelliot, who was full of signs of tiredness.

 

“You used to talk to your busy dad.”

 

“Then don’t come to my room while I sleep.”

 

Pelliot, who said he was busy, always came to her every time she slept and left candy, seemed like a fool for nothing. It was so sad to see the tiredness on his handsome face.

 

“You’re not busy now?”

 

Fluffy white hands ran across Pelliot’s eyes.

 

“Did you sleep well?”

 

“…… a little?”

 

“You should sleep a lot.”

 

“Dad wants to sleep too.”

 

“Do you want to take a nap with me after training?”

 

No matter how old she is, her body is still like a child, and Leonia, who is growing up, always took a nap. The nap time was mainly in the afternoon after class and eating snacks.

 

“You had a bad sleeping habit.”

 

Pelliot trembled sarcastically, saying he was afraid of getting hit by her feet while sleeping together.

 

“I sleep soundly!”

 

Leonia blushed in response.

 

“Connie always said I looked like a baby animal.”

 

“…… animal baby?”

 

“Do not change the order of the words!”

 

At Pelliot’s mischievous joke, whom he had missed so much, Leonia cried out loudly.
