The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 12

Gyolonghoe (2)

Axion Ragnar.

Third wife, the second son of ‘Emile’, the lord of Dongbaek Palace.

Emil was the daughter of the Marquis of Troyban, a prestigious eastern family, and Troyvan boasted a reputation as good as Ragnar in terms of swordsmanship.

Thanks to his maternal family background, Axion’s status has been great ever since he was a child.

And he has great talent to back it up.

Some praised it as the union between the famous swordsmanship families representing the north and the east, or the fruit of Ragnar and Troyban.

So, from around the time Axion became an adult, he became one of the best candidates among the successors.

‘The prestige of the subordinate organization, the Gyoryonghoe, was also great.’

Can’t you tell from the fact that Rendon, an opportunist, entrusted himself to Axion as soon as he left the Rose Palace?

By the way.

‘As soon as Rendon died, Axion moved… … ? Can this be called a mere coincidence?’

In fact, Theo had only predicted the possibility of a link between Rendon and Axion, but thought it was unrealistic.

Because there is no reason for a place like Troyban to use such a lame cheater.

Even if they do, if Cecilia or Theo are worth their attention… … Well? Why?

However, as it turned out, it was not something to be taken lightly.

‘I didn’t know who was going to be who, so I kept my distance from people… … Is this how it happened?’

Having reached a fairly high rank in an intelligence organization, Theo never thought that there were no coincidences in this world.

‘Once you go and check it yourself, you’ll know.’

Maybe it has something to do with the blue light on the invitation.

By the time you’re thinking about it

Squeak!

The carriage stopped.

“Looks like we’ve arrived.”

Wellington opened the carriage door and got out first, followed by Theo.

I saw a castle that seemed to be two or three times the size of the Rose Palace.

Right then.

“Princess Theo!”

Wellington noticed something and exclaimed in amazement.

But before that, Theo was reacting.

Heavy cannons were falling from the sky.

Dig!

The battery exploded in the spot where Theo had escaped.

And the flour mist that spreads out.

“Axion! What is this!”

Where Wellington’s angry gaze landed.

hahahahaha

Axion stood there laughing.

All the other friends who were at the entrance just in time looked at the two with awkward expressions.

“What are you doing? A greeting card given to a friend meeting for the first time. But when someone said it, it was Theo, right? hey, it’s been a while Are you happy?”

It is said that there are more than dozens of Ragnar’s direct descendants, but among them there are at most three or four people the same age as fifteen.

Even if they did not communicate, there was a level of acquaintance with each other.

Theo stared at Axion while brushing his slightly tousled hair.

If I hadn’t avoided it, the things my mother had worked so hard to decorate would not have been messed up.

The guy was really no different from his previous life.

‘I thought he would do anything in the first place.’

[Observe ‘Axion Ragnar’.]

+

Axion Ragnar (15 years old/male)

· Title: Dark Mark (暗彪)

· Talent: Madness. Psycho Pass.

Status: Anticipation of discovering a new toy.

+

‘toy? Do you see me as a toy?’

Also, the contents of the information window were as expected.

“Nothing. Are you mad? Hey, can’t you just accept the brother’s greetings?”

“no. Rather than being angry, I didn’t know you would treat me so fiercely.”

“Welcome… … Thank you?”

Axion widened his eyes in surprise.

“Isn’t interest better than indifference?”

Theo’s nonchalant answer soon suffocated and laughed.

“you.”

Axion’s curved gaze captured Theo’s pupils.

“It’s been a lot of fun since I didn’t see it, right?”

* * *

Banquet hall with soft music.

Originally, it was supposed to be a lively social gathering, but today it was particularly quiet.

Axion’s sudden action made Wellington very angry, so the others were busy taking notice of him.

“Once again, I apologize on behalf of you. I’m not really that kind of friend… … I think I was a little over-excited today.”

“It’s really fine. Isn’t Axion always playful?”

Despite Theo’s repeated dissuades, Wellington couldn’t leave his side.

‘It’s like this… … I have no face seeing Prince Theo from now on.’

Wellington wanted to be a ‘real’ friend, introducing his close friends and opening up to Theo.

But now it was time to worry about the further distance.

Moreover, because of the awkward atmosphere, the other friends were not able to get close to Theo.

It was frustrating in many ways.

‘Why is Axion suddenly playing such a ridiculous prank… … !’

However, contrary to Axion’s concerns, Theo liked this banquet.

It was because there was no one to talk to, so I was able to take a leisurely look inside Dongbaek Palace.

And.

‘There must be something here that connects to the blue light… … ?’

Perhaps we can see the light we saw in the invitation here. Or a new message pops up.

Then, around the central hallway leading to the stairs on the second floor, Theo’s gaze stopped.

end of the stairs.

I could see a very calm but blue light leaking through the cracks in the shabby door that looked like a storage room.

over there

Theo’s eyes sparkled.

At that time, I thought about how I could approach the second floor naturally without raising any doubts.

“You’re not having a banquet, what are you doing sitting here?”

Axion approached me, spinning a glass of whiskey round and round.

Wellington’s face hardened, but Theo asked with a completely unconcerned expression.

“The one in your hand. Do you think it’s alcohol?”

“uh. right. How did you know?”

“Before the coming-of-age ceremony, it would be forbidden.”

“hehehe. Are you trying to act like an adult at a time like this, or when will you do it again?”

Theo let out a laugh.

Axion is probably the only one who can show such a calm appearance in Ragnar, where discipline is strict.

“But Theo, why have you changed so much? He’s also getting very tall. My physique also seems to have gotten stronger. You used to talk a lot, didn’t you?”

“I thought it would be a little different.”

“yes? Why all of a sudden?”

“It’s embarrassing to use too much porridge at the opening ceremony.”

“Ahahahaha! That is also true. There are so many people gathering, and if you feel embarrassed, shame on you, shame on you.”

Looking at Axion’s smiling face, Theo couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

“Anyway, I’m sorry about what happened a little while ago. Like Well, and the butler, I got scolded a lot. So will you accept my apology? huh? yes?”

I wondered if this was the attitude of a person who really apologized.

“Do you have anything to apologize for?”

“yes?”

“As you said, it’s a ‘greeting’ between brothers.”

“right? Did we say goodbye?”

“then.”

“Kyahahahaha. After all, our Theo, you have a big heart.”

puck!

puck!

Axion laughed as he patted Theo hard on the shoulder.

Anyone can see Theo looking down.

I could hear the whispers of the onlookers staring at me.

-Still, is it resolved smoothly without any conflict? Ugh, I was scared because I thought Well and Shion were fighting.

-Yeah. If the two of you quarrel, ugh!

-But can’t you actually do that much? I think Well took it too seriously.

-I know yeah.

– But isn’t it funny? After all, what is there to do besides being angry? Isn’t it strange that something like a bastard without a root starts with the noble lineage of Troyban?

-That’s right, if you think about it, well actually… … !

-Hey! Watch your mouth!

-Oh right. Was that forbidden?

Other than that, it was a conversation that I had to talk quietly.

Since they were originally a people who didn’t notice, the people nearby could clearly hear everything.

Wellington’s face flushed red with anger.

For the first time in his life, he felt ashamed of his friends.

Until now, I thought everyone was just guys with a wide heart and a wide understanding.

He had never thought that he would show such a narrow-minded appearance.

So, I’m about to get up from my seat with the intention of firing a single word…

“So.”

“yes?”

“Can I say ‘hello’ to my new friends?”

Suddenly, Wellington’s gaze turned to Theo’s words to Axion.

What are you going to do?

Just before Axion asked a question.

Theo suddenly tossed the glass he was holding in the direction of the giggling bastards.

perok-

Chaeng-Geurang!

The head of the guy who was talking about his bloodline was thrown back.

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … !”

The eyes of the guys who didn’t know this would happen widened.

“You asshole, how dare you!”

The guy, whose head was severely torn and covered in blood, charged at Theo.

However, Theo stood up calmly with the expression that there was no inspiration.

“You sick bastard. Still, it’s nice to meet you as a new friend.”

A fist flying towards the face.

“Aren’t you offended if I say such harsh words?”

Theo very simply nodded his head to the side to avoid the fist, and at the same time closed the gap and grabbed his arm.

And the ensuing upsurge.

A giant that looked like it would be twice the size of Theo fell to the ground.

Quaang!

“Aagh! Let go! Let go of this! Can’t you hear me?”

The guy used evil to shake off Theo somehow, but strangely, he couldn’t stand Theo’s power overpowering him from above.

“ah! Is it because you haven’t shared your full name yet? Hey, Zion.”

“Why?”

Axion was smiling strangely even though his friend was being harmed.

“We are friends before we are brothers, right?”

“then?”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s your friends, it’s true that they can be my friends too.”

Theo smiled and turned the arm he was holding onto.

Wood Deuk!

“aaagh!”

Desperate screams filled the banquet hall instead of the suddenly stopped performance.

Some people turned their heads to the side.

It was terrifying to see the arm fully turned at a deformed angle.

“Since we greeted each other warmly, shouldn’t we say goodbye in advance?”

“Come on, sleep… … !”

Quadruped!

The other arm is also turned. A white elbow bone even protruded from between the torn muscles.

It was a serious injury that would never allow him to hold a sword again.

Theo frothed from the pain and fell away from the fainting guy.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

All of the guys who didn’t expect to use their hands so vigorously were in a state of dread.

Only Axion was watching as if he was interested.

Theo chuckled.

‘They’re still kids.’

No matter how proud they are, they are all still minors.

It must be a shock to the plants in the greenhouse who have not even escaped the family fence.

In the meantime, Theo, who had been treated as an ‘idiot’, couldn’t resist and was beaten in just two sums.

Originally, only Axion, who had a cruel nature, was enjoying this moment.

After all, Ragnar should be called Ragnar.

“Is there anyone else to say hello to?”

Theo glanced around.

Cool eyes resembling dragons.

Everyone kept their lips shut.

The silence was deep.

“… … Do you know what you did?”

Then one guy stepped forward, biting his lower lip.

He was the injured guy’s best friend.

“If you know?”

“no. You won’t know. That guy… … !”

“The third of the Hanabi family?”

“I can’t believe you did this without knowing… … !”

The Hanabi family is one of the six theories that support Ragnar.

It meant being on the same level as Narcio.

Right then.

Wow!

seureung-

Suddenly, four swordsmen fell from the sky like beams of light and aimed their swords at Theo’s neck.

“The sin of hurting the young master.”

“I will bury you with death.”

Theo didn’t blink an eye even though the sad blue blade threatened him.

Rather, he just raised one corner of his eye.

“A mere henchman from a horseman’s family, who isn’t even Ragnar’s gasoline, dares to ask for my death?”

At that moment, the four swordsmen tasted the feeling of being weighed down by an unknown spirit.

“Can you handle that?”

thud… … !

The camellia seemed to resonate with Theo’s wildly beating heart.

thump thump-!

dragon’s heart,

Started running.
