Chapter 128
Why me?
There was a question in Clerivan’s head.
He and the Second Prince had never even exchanged proper greetings.
He was just coming and passing by at a Lombardy mansion or banquet.
But why are you being wary of me?
Clerivan greeted Perez politely, hiding his bewildered innermost thoughts.
“Let me say hello for the first time, Your Highness Second Prince. I’m Clerivan Pellet.”
But Perez did not answer.
Just staring at Clerivan.
It’s not a facial expression or a serious look, it’s just a habitual blank expression.
The pressure seemed to weigh on Clerivan.
It was like saying ‘obey’.
But Clerivan remained calm, recalling the day he first faced Lulak.
The Second Prince is good, but not as good as Lulak yet.
He remembered that fact and tried not to be swayed.
And at some point.
The weight that was bothering Clerivan disappeared like a lie.
You were testing me.
Clerivan was able to realize.
“It’s a pleasure to meet someone who leads the great Pellet Corporation.”
“…It’s an honor.”
However, the intentional withdraw did not soften Perez’s attitude.
Clerivan could still feel the subtle vigilance.
And it sounded an alarm in Clerivan’s head.
‘I”ll have to ask Bate for the information.’
Clerivan decided to send a letter as soon as the banquet was over.
“Can I join you?”
Perez asked Gallahan politely.
“Of course.”
“Excuse me.”
It was just as Perez sat down.
Bang!
Gilliu hit the table in front of him with his palm and clicked his tongue and said.
“Oh, why are there so many flies? Did you see that, Mayron?”
“Uh. The king of the big dung flies keeps walking around.”3

The twins sitting opposite each other stared at Perez and exchanged words.
It was clear that it was aimed at Perez.
“Gilliu, Mayron!”
Gallahan pressed those two.
Gallahan’s strict voice drew attention from the twins, but the attitude was the same.
“…Both.”
Perez broached in a low voice.
“I heard that you have received an oath as a knight. By the way…”
“By the way?”
Mayron asked sharply again.
There was no respect or courtesy for the Prince, but Perez did not mind.
Instead, he threw out a suggestion.
“Let’s have a match sometime.”
“Ma, match?”
The eyes of the twins, who had always been hostile, shook.
A battle with a powerful person is an invaluable experience for a person who trains a sword.
This is because depending on the person and sometimes a single battle can bring more than a few years of training.
It was a famous story that everyone knew Perez was a genius who had already created Aura at the age of 12.

In addition, they knew about his spectacular performance at the academy from Florentia.
They hate to admit it, but Perez was far ahead of the twins.
Such a confrontation with Perez.
Perez struck a decisive blow to two shaky men.
“I think I can help you two a lot. I’ll take a day to deal with you. What do you think?”
In the end, Mayron went over.
Gilliu followed.
“I’ll be visiting you as the Knights of Lombardy soon.”
Perez’s lips curled up as they looked at the twins nodding their heads with resentment.
Then, Gallahan called the servant walking by with wine and picked up a glass.
Perez, who was next to him, chose a glass himself.
Then he held the glass in his hand and took a sip of the wine.
It was a pretty skillful and familiar look.
Gallahan, who was looking at Perez with round eyes, asked.
“Do you drink?”
“Sometimes.”
“Well, now you’re an adult, too. I keep forgetting. I think it’s because the young figure standing next to my bed remains in my head.”
Gallahan laughed and asked.
“How was the Academy? You must have had a hard time far away.”
Perez, who was taking another sip while looking far away, blinked slowly.
Because he couldn’t find words to answer Gallahan’s question.
For Perez, the academy was a place to go.
The Empress kicked him out and headed alone.
So what he went through there was something he deserved to overcome.
Neither himself nor anyone asked Perez if it was ‘tough’.
Gallahan carefully called Perez, who was somewhere in a daze.
“Your Royal Highness?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s the first time I’ve been asked that.”
“Haha, I guess it was because Your Highness was so brave. Did you have fun in your academy life?”
Again, it is a difficult question to answer.
Perez tilted his head slightly and asked Gallahan again.
“What is fun?”
“The fun thing is… A lot of memories. It makes you smile when you think about it, and you want to remember it longer.”
“Well.”
Perez nodded, lost in thought for a moment.
“If you think so, I think it was fun.”
