Chapter 25
Translator: True Detective
Chapter 25. Daaaaaddyyyyyyy!!!
“Ha. Hahaha! Hahahahaha!”
Duke Denar rubbed the blood flowing on his cheek with his finger.
It smells of fishy blood.
Good heavens. To think that frail child made me bleed like this.
And me of all people?
“This good heavens.”
Duke Denar exhaled without realizing it and continuously spat out admiration.
He was so flustered that it was even hard to properly accept this current situation.
In the meantime, Elise was barely standing, leaning precariously on her sword.
It was precarious, but she definitely did not collapse.
She sneered while looking at Duke Denar with her two eyes wide open.
“I won, right?”
At those words, Duke Denar had no choice but to laugh and nod.
“Do as you wish. Daughter.”
***
The duel concluded, but the aftermath was just beginning.
The Seven Wolves, who had approached before anyone knew it, surrounded Elise and began to talk.
“Young Lady! Young Lady Young Lady Young Lady! Good heavens, how could that be possible! To use our signature techniques so splendidly!”
“Dame Kalix.”
“Wow. Good heavens. To think my technique could be used like that. Wow….”
“Lord Hugo.”
The Seven Wolves approached one and all and laid out praises to Elise.
If this place were not the Grand Duke's castle but the middle of a battlefield after a war ended, they might have probably tossed her in the air.
While the Seven Wolves were talking cheerfully.
This time Grand Duke Gayrad approached.
“Huh. Good heavens.”
Grand Duke Gayrad, who appeared as the Seven Wolves naturally cleared a path, looked at Elise with a dumbfounded expression and then looked at Duke Denar.
“To think you have eyes like knotholes.”
“No, Your Highness. If you speak like that….”
“Haven't I said it several times. Your daughter, is not ordinary.”
“…Tsk. I can't even deny those words anymore. Good grief. Even though I confidently boasted to my other children that I would proudly bring her back.”
Through Duke Denar's muttered words, words that cannot be ignored are heard.
Mm. Other children….
I definitely remember.
That there are two more people above Elise Blaze.
Definitely….
‘Oh my.’
Suddenly, Elise remembered something.
Wait a moment.
Wait a moment…?
‘Our second and eldest daughter is…. Huh?’
The Blaze Ducal House.
Due to the nature of a Romance Fantasy worldview.
Moreover, due to the nature of the original work where the Empire is the main stage.
The situation is that the Ducal Houses, of which only 5 exist in the Empire, are complexly intertwined with each other.
In the original work, Elise dies not long after Alicia Shudroy's debutante and doesn't appear, but….
The other two of the Blaze family are not like that.
The first and eldest son, Riant Blaze.
The second and eldest daughter, Lobelin Blaze.
The two definitely occupy page space in the original work respectively.
The eldest son, Riant Blaze, as a character holding a one-sided crush on Alicia Shudroy.
The eldest daughter, Lobelin Blaze, is the mid-boss villainess Young Lady who bullies Alicia Shudroy.
Surprisingly, it's true.
Where would the temper of the Blaze family go.
Like Elise who, despite being possessed, amazingly resembles the temper of the Blaze family exactly.
Lobelin also had quite a temper.
From Lobelin's standpoint, she must have been dumbfounded that a guy who is the eldest son of the Blaze Ducal House couldn't exert any strength against the youngest of another Ducal House.
Perhaps her becoming a villainess Young Lady was a natural sequence of events.
However, Lobelin is not the final boss villainess Young Lady, but a mid-boss villainess Young Lady.
The real final boss villainess Young Lady is separate.
And in another Ducal House at that.
‘Older sister Lobelin…. Sister? Mm. The title is a bit awkward….’
In the meantime, Elise pondered for a moment.
In the Murim, there was almost no occasion to call someone older sister.
Because they were called Young Hero, Great Hero, or Female Hero.
‘Let's call her older sister in my heart.’
Elise gave a subtle nod.
Still, it was the result claimed by the last bit of masculinity holding its head up.
Anyway.
Elise felt the need to try talking to Lobelin once later as well.
If I visit the Ducal Territory later, wouldn't there be a chance to talk.
While Elise was pondering, Duke Denar spoke to her.
“Elise. I don't know.”
“…Yes?”
“Whether it's Riant or Lobelin. Don't they cherish you too much. It means that even if they suddenly come out someday and snatch you away, I will pretend not to see it.”
Saying so, Duke Denar subtly feigns ignorance.
“I really don't know. Elise. Especially if Lobelin says something, I will know even less.”
“Uh….”
Elise continued groping her memory.
[Ooh our Eliseeee….]
Among Elise's memories, the memory of Lobelin holding sick Elise like chewing gum stuck to her comes to mind.
Oh my. Wait a moment.
‘Might I end up getting kidnapped later? If it's Lobelin, it's quite plausible?’
The 5 Great Ducal Houses of the Empire.
If it's the capability of her, who is the second of the Blaze Ducal House and called the mid-boss villainess Young Lady….
It might be possible.
Of course, Elise had no intention of being dragged away obediently though.
Elise, keeping Lobelin intact in a corner of her head, spoke nonchalantly to Duke Denar.
“I will handle it. Father.”
“Alright. Elise. However, who will handle me getting an earful from Lobelin when I go back….”
While Denar made a show of secretly wiping away tears, Elise lightly ignored Duke Denar.
She doesn't know about that.
***
“Hmm….”
Still, since leaving immediately cold-heartedly is not polite in many ways.
Duke Denar naturally stayed in the Northern Grand Ducal Territory for a few days.
“Aren't you too cold. Elise….”
Duke Denar, who looked back, was truly too lightly dressed.
He looked at Elise standing in light attire with her chest wrapped in bandages.
Hoo—.
Duke Denar grabbed the clothes he was wearing and spoke.
“Elise. If a child whose body isn't good goes around dressed so lightly…. Phew. Will you wear my clothes at least?”
“No. Father. Actually, it's better to be light. The Mana Cultivation Method while feeling the cold….”
“I did hear there is that kind of Mana Cultivation Method. Mm. Elise….”
Denar carefully patted her shoulder and spoke.
“You too, Elise…. Made an effort in many ways. I am sorry. For your father not even knowing that properly.”
“No. I was also sorry for running away arbitrarily.”
“Stay in the North for now. It would be right to stay in the North. If the solution for your body is here, it must be right to be here….”
Hoo—.
Duke Denar's words continue.
“As you also know, Elise, to treat your body, I gathered precious things from all sorts of places. For instance….”
Duke Denar's words continuing like that.
Listening to those words, Elise couldn't help but spontaneously feel grateful to Duke Denar.
Elise's body born with this Heaven's Mandate Great Yin Severed Meridians….
Perhaps if Duke Denar hadn't consistently fed her good things, she would have died long ago.
Thanks to that, Elise came to feel grateful to Duke Denar.
Whether it turns out this way or that.
Ultimately, he is the father in this life.
At that time when thoughts about him were pointlessly deepening.
Dong—. Dong—. Dong—.
The giant bell placed in the Grand Ducal Territory rings.
“…What is this? Don't tell me?”
The moment Duke Denar tilted his head at the sudden sound of the bell.
Elise spoke lowly.
“…They've come. The barbarians.”
Elise looked at the wall of the North in the distance.
***
Kuhahahahahaha———!!!
A massively ringing shout.
To speak more exactly, a shout intactly containing wildness rings fiercely.
The barbarians of the North.
The barbarians of the Blue Fang Tribe boasting a massive military force assaulted the wall of the North once again.
Among them, naturally, there were also the Seven Wild Monsters who could be called the leaders of the barbarians.
“Where are you! I have come directly! Elise Blaze! Hurry and reveal yourself! Let's see the end today!”
A corner of the Seven Wild Monsters, Nagagor.
He, who now possesses the alias Twin Thunder Axes, appeared on the battlefield holding twin axes.
Nagagor's abnormal obsession with Elise had been further strengthened by the jokes and scolding of the Seven Wild Monsters watching from the side.
Before anyone knew it, the one who would get bloodshot eyes and rush in to kill just upon seeing Elise was exactly Nagagor.
The one next to him like that was a refreshing man boasting thick facial lines.
“Hmm. Nagagor. Have you still not been able to forget thoughts about her.”
“Shut up. Bachra. I won't feel satisfied until I catch that bitch and crush her.”
“You are rough beyond compare. Should you treat a woman like that. Well, she isn't an ordinary woman though.”
Demonic Man Bachra.
Even he, who is said to have each and every punch comparable to a siege weapon, appeared.
It was the moment two Seven Wild Monsters united at once to target the wall.
To be exact, it was the result of Bachra feeling amused by Nagagor's obsession and coming out to watch though.
Meanwhile, a member of the Seven Wolves dividing sectors at the wall and protecting them, Flora, who possesses the nickname Godspeed, frowned.
“Tsk. I will need Lady Elise's help.”
Actually, even in the North, the anomalous element named Elise is being treated as a strategic weapon used in emergencies.
If by any chance there were 2 or more Seven Wild Monsters in one sector, the one who definitely came out for support was Elise.
The moment Flora tried to hurriedly contact the superiors.
“Dame Flora!”
“…No! Lady Elise! How already!”
Elise suddenly revealing her appearance in the sector Flora was in charge of.
She nodded looking at the two Seven Wild Monsters seen from afar.
“First, let's go. Dame Flora. Because if those guys scramble the front line, the warriors won't be able to handle it.”
“Understood.”
The two nodded and hurriedly ran forward.
***
Grind—.
Twin Thunder Axes, Nagagor's teeth grind.
Ho-oh—.
Demonic Man, Bachra's eyebrows draw an arc.
From afar, Elise and Flora slowly reveal their appearances.
“Elise Blaze…! Today at last I will chew and swallow your bones.”
“Hmm. No matter how I look at it, it's a face too good for a warrior.”
The two Seven Wild Monsters look at Elise each standing on the battlefield.
Elise smiled immediately as soon as she discovered the two people.
“That smiling face. I will crush all of it soon.”
“That smiling appearance. I like it quite a bit though.”
The moment the Northern warriors were seething with rage due to Nagagor's threat and Bachra's flirtation.
Elise rather grinned.
And without hesitating, she gathered her two hands to her mouth.
That moment.
“Daaaaaddyyyyyyy!!!”
Elise ended up shouting loudly enough for the Northern battlefield to float away.
At that time when the two Seven Wild Monsters were momentarily flustered and the barbarians and Northern warriors in this place were also wondering.
“These crazy bastards….”
Someone suddenly appeared above the wall.
Red hair.
And the one whose appearance of anger rising to the top of his head befitting his hair is seen intactly is exactly.
“How dare you spew such nonsense at my daughter!!!”
Duke Denar Blaze.
Latensio Empire, the master of the First Sword of the Empire.
The master of the Blaze family shining at the 7th Rank rushed at the two Seven Wild Monsters with bloodshot eyes.
