In the past, Benedick was a man who did not know the word compromise.

He had been showing off his inaction since he was young and destroyed all of the knights of the Arlen family before even entering the academy.

Benedick, who was immature and strong at the time, thought he could achieve anything he wanted.

Even after entering the academy, his thoughts only became stronger.

At first, he was struggling with studying, which he had never done in his life, but he did his best with the determination not to be defeated by others, and succeeded in achieving satisfactory results.

Nothing much changed after graduating from the academy.

He was loved by his subjects, won victory after victory in the war to protect his kingdom, and never felt any reason to change his arrogant and arrogant attitude.

Then, the first time he experienced failure was when he felt the emotion of love.

He cried out that he had no time to pay attention to women, but when he saw a woman, he fell in love with her.

‘sorry.’

For the first time in his life, he failed to achieve what he wanted. However, Benedick did not give up.

He was a person who did not understand that he stopped in frustration. Benedick continued his pure love affair, ignoring many marriage talks from the family’s elders and cousins.

‘You are such a fool.’

His successful marriage was the happiest moment of his life.

Benedick still can’t forget the emotion he felt when he first held his daughter.

I broke into a cold sweat because I felt like something would go wrong if I applied even a little bit of force.

Next to him, his wife is laughing at his foolish appearance.

The moment when the girl who was quietly looking at his face smiled and held his finger.

Parenting has never been easy.

Before I spoke to my child, I was worried because I didn’t know what my child wanted, and after my child spoke to me, I had a hard time because of his unusual behavior.

Where on earth did you learn such bad words? When people say things like sloppy or stupid, Benedick would also worry about where he went wrong.

‘Mummy. Is it because we were raised too much? ‘Strictly as others say.’

‘Benedick. ‘Can you be strict with Lucy?’

‘…uh. ‘Uh-huh.’

‘Look. You can’t do it. So don’t worry about what other people say. We have our own way.’

The child’s abnormality worsened after his sickly wife died, but Benedick could not care less about his daughter.

My wife’s absence was so large that I had no time to look around.

‘Benedick. Please take good care of Lucy.’

When Benedick came to his senses after recalling the will left behind by his lover, so many things had already gone wrong.

So much so that not even the name of a hero named Benedik Aln can turn it back.

So he learned the word compromise.

I learned how to put my head down to find the best for my daughter in the worst.

I’ve become good at suppressing my anger and smiling goofily.

It was because of that that Senar Soladin was able to stand unharmed now.

I feel like I want to crush that face right now, but if I do that, countless chains will be placed on the Arlen family, and those chains will even affect my daughter.

Benedick wanted his daughter to live in peace, not war.

That’s why he didn’t swing his fist even though his eyes were bloodshot.

“Sir Benedick. So this is.”

“Get that foot out of the way first.”

As the intimidation that made even the dragon tired of him leaked out, Senar, who had been hastily retreating, stumbled and fell to the floor.

However, Benedick did not even pay attention to that and headed to his daughter’s side.

Lucy had been screaming in pain just a moment ago, but when Benedick reached her side, she was already smiling like always.

“Foolish father. I think it’s too early for the party to end. Are you running away from the crowd?”

Benedick was met with an angelic smile and tried to laugh along, but failed.

how. How much pain did I have to go through without even knowing it before I could smile like this?

Is it possible to smile as if your wounds are nothing?

How could that child burst into tears, saying it hurts even from a small wound?

“I didn’t plan on doing this either!”

Benedick, who heard Senar’s shout, slowly stroked Lucy’s head and stood up.

“This!”

“I know. Senar. Because I know my daughter’s temper better than anyone else.”

She is smart enough to become the second queen. If Lucy hadn’t started it, there’s no way she would have done something crazy like this.

“That. Then.”

“But Senar. No matter what, there is a line.”

Today’s Benedick knows what compromise means.

I understand that those who insult and criticize my daughter have their own reasons and that raising their voices in anger is not the answer.

It’s also true that even if you desperately try to stop it, the backlash against Lucy will increase.

However, there is a limit to what we can endure and overcome.

“Let me say it again. Senar. I hope there is a good reason why my daughter screamed while being trampled by your hooves.”

Otherwise, I don’t know what I might do.

As soon as Benedick takes a step forward, Senard steps back.

Instead of moving from reason, he runs away from Benedick following the instinctive cry of caution.

However, the flight could not last long.

The space called the Clock Tower was not friendly to fugitives, and Senar realized that he had been driven to a cliff by the sound of falling stones.

come.

A monster is coming.

A messenger announcing death is coming.

Despair in human form approaches.

Senar, who had fought on the front lines in the past, knew how terrifying that despair was.

A disaster that could change the course of a war with just one person was not something humans could deal with.

It was not something a person could stop.

Would you rather fall?

no. If I do that, that disaster will come after me.

Should I scream?

What difference does that make?

Is there anyone who can stop that monster?

fear.

fear.

What cut off the endless despair amidst the mounting fear was a high, cheerful voice unsuitable for the night.

“Papa♡”

Tuk.

The girl’s tiny hand blocks the giant’s path.

You can push away as much as you want, but giants don’t do that.

Just wait for the words of the child you love.

“It’s inevitable for an old lady to get irritated♡”

“…Lucy.”

“And I’m tired♡ Are you such an ugly papa that you leave me alone because of that old bastard?♡”

When Lucy opens her arms and asks for a hug, a loose smile appears on Benedick’s previously stiff face.

“I’m sorry. Because I couldn’t pay attention.”

Benedick, who lifted Lucy up with one arm and sat her on his shoulder, quickly wiped his smile and looked at Senar, whose legs were relaxed.

“I hope the same thing doesn’t happen next time.”

That was the end.

Benedick left the academy with one step, causing the clock tower to vibrate.

Senar, who was left alone, suppressed his trembling hands and took a deep breath due to the residual fear.

The Fangs of the Kingdom would like to see the scene just before and give it to the idiots who are said to be staying in the outskirts due to their old age.

How can that be senile?

A monster is still a monster! Senar, who had lost all sense of being a queen and was pounding the stone floor, wiped her face with both hands.

“Nabil. Come out.”

“Yes. Queen.”

Her escort, who appeared from the wall of the clock tower, bowed his head politely.

“We apologize for not being able to help you due to the urgent situation. I am.”

“That’s it. I know. The moment you come out, the situation will get worse.”

From the moment Senar took out the axe, the situation became irreversible.

She was not to draw a weapon under any circumstances.

Even more so now that I desperately want Lucy Alln.

“Stupid bitch. Being caught up in the past ruins the present.”

I promised myself that I would live for the future, but this is what happened?

Senar was complaining about his own stupidity and suddenly frowned.

for a moment.

Why did I lose all sense of reason?

It’s not just that you have a fever. At some point, reason evaporated.

okay. Obviously, from the moment I cursed Lucy Aln’s mother, the little boy’s laughter became thick.

Senar bit his lip, remembered the image of the child blocking his father, and let out a long breath.

Family…is it?

I thought there was no such thing in aristocratic society.

Thinking of Cecil, who looked unnecessarily mature today, Senar squeezed his eyes shut and barely opened his mouth.

“Nabil. Send a messenger to the Aln family. I’m going to go deliver my apology.”

“I understand. Queen.”

I can’t help but hate Benedick Aln.

But at least it shouldn’t be at the level of hostility.

Because that monster alone has the power to overturn the scales.

If you can’t decide, at least buy the heart of a girl who can control that monster.

“Jeeenjang.”

How can I change my mind after doing something like that?

It would be more realistic to ask a monster to kill me.

“Queen. I have a suggestion for you.”

“What is it?”

“Lady Aln was sensitive to the word mother. If it’s related to that, wouldn’t it be appropriate to convey an apology?”

“…It’s okay.”

There was a bracelet that that kid gave me a while ago. It was so simple that I just kept it, but it came in handy.

“In addition to that, prepare things related to dungeons and armor.”

Because when you meet Lucy Alln, you don’t just apologize.

“I understand. Queen. Is there anything else you would like to order?”

“And… no. That’s enough.”

Senar shook his head and stood up, freshened up his appearance, and headed to the party hall again.

*

“That’s right.”

After hearing the whole story, Benedick looked out the window with a subtle expression instead of asking me what to do.

In the face of complicated emotions that I couldn’t even fathom, I waited for him to control his mind instead of making a fuss.

If you look at it this way, Benedick is no different from usual.

I was incredibly scared when I just looked at it with a straight face.

It wasn’t even directed at me, but I was so crushed by its spirit that I froze.

If that intimidation had been directed at me, I wouldn’t have held my head and muttered, “I’m sorry.”

Resting my chin and thinking about what happened at the clock tower, I remembered being played by Senar and pouted my lips.

‘grandfather. How should I overcome my lack of experience?’

The reason why I was defeated by Senar was clear. Differences in experience.

I’ve almost never had a serious battle with a high-grade warrior.

Fighters with higher skills than me, including Porcell and Karl, focused on teaching me rather than genuinely trying to beat me.

When dealing with Adrina Nakrad, rather than winning with skill, it was closer to defeating her with rotten knowledge.

Even the battle with Duke Burrow, which was normal, was won through trickery against him who was possessed by an evil spirit.

It was because of this lack of experience that I never even thought that Senar would read me and destroy me.

‘I guess so.’

I’ve thought about it for a long time, but we need to engage in a serious battle with the strong.

Be sure to become stronger than you are now.

As I was thinking that I had a lot to do during this vacation, I remembered that I had to ask Benedick something, and I spoke urgently.

‘father.’

“Foolish father.”

“Huh? Why. Lucy?”

‘I have a favor to ask you.’

“I have a favor to ask, and if you listen to it, your idiot father might become a lot better.”

“Just say anything! If this Papa can do anything, I’ll do it!”

‘That’s it…’

“I want to train my poor friends along with my family’s idiot knights.”
