“… Ah.”

Lucia flinched. Did you lose concentration when you heard the sound outside the window? The girl briefly placed a bookmark on the page she was looking at and then stretched.

“Hwaam.”

These days, I’ve been staying in my study room and just reading books, and I’m feeling tired.

I decided to gather information on my own to find out what had happened over the past 500 years, but progress was slower than expected.

There was a limit to the number of books that could be read in a day, and Lucia’s concentration was also limited.

Lucia was understandably dissatisfied with that, but…

The sense of accomplishment from learning something new was so much fun that it was incomparable to the practice of retracing the path I had taken. Lucia became so absorbed in reading that she neglected the practice she had always done.

I feel like I have become a literary girl.

Although she had never been happy to read a book combining both her past life and her current life, she found this to be quite enjoyable and gave her a strange sense of satisfaction.

‘Reading is also quite worthwhile. If I had known this would happen, I would have learned to write when I had time.’

The time when I participated in the expedition team as the warrior Kylie.

Since it was the empire that invested the most resources and manpower in subduing the demon gods, I already knew how to speak the imperial language to some degree fluently.

‘Should I have asked Seriana or Yura to teach me? No, you can’t take away their recess. ‘What shame.’

As the war continued, literacy rates continued to decline. Eventually, those who had the ability to handle affairs began to be drafted to the rear. Thanks to this, colleagues who could read and write, let alone learn to read, were not even given a chance to rest.

Because they were always fighting on the front lines, burning their entire bodies, her colleagues, like Kylie, were unable to get proper rest.

Comparing that harsh environment to now gave me a lot of thoughts.

Practice as much as you want, do whatever you want, and eat plenty without starving.

The Prien family, which falsely refers to the descendants of warriors as they like, was truly reprehensible, but if the reason is understandable, there is nothing that cannot be taken into account. Thanks to you, I have been able to enjoy this luxury, so isn’t it ultimately beneficial to me?

‘Let’s just do this for today.’

My eyes were strained, probably because I had been reading the book for a long time. Lucia squeezed her eyes shut and looked at the untidy desk.

There were two books and a piece of paper on the desk.

One of them is the Silean-Imperial Dictionary.

These two are history books that I started reading recently.

And the last one…

[Sileia-Imperial pronunciation chart for younger sisters.]

Lucia held a paper coated with a thin layer of wax in her hand.

Strangely enough, the fact that the letters “younger sister” were written in large and bold letters was something that annoyed me, but I decided not to worry about it.

Even though they had different mothers, Siron was clearly Lucia’s older brother.

Is that why? If you think about it carefully, there was a part of Shiron that strangely cared for him from the beginning.

Was it a month ago? It was the day after Lucia ran out of the house with the excuse that she was not feeling well.

-Now, look at this and study.

-What is this?

-What is it? It’s something you need right away.

‘You’re really talented…’

The next morning, Siron handed a piece of paper to Lucia.

The table, which showed the pronunciation of the imperial language in Silean script, was of such high quality that even Lucia thought it was made quite well.

At first she felt suspicious about how Siron had associated the Silean language with her, but now she decided not to care.

For a little over a month, Lucia had been watching Siron consistently commit strange acts, so she didn’t think it was a big deal.

Thanks to this, Lucia was able to learn the imperial language by making sounds and reading on her own from that day on.

It is the imperial language that I have been exposed to by hearing and speaking for at least 8 years. Once I roughly knew how to pronounce it, learning it was a breeze.

Now that I have read books of high difficulty step by step, I have reached the point where I can even read history books.

Although I had no choice but to open a dictionary to find words I didn’t normally encounter, the rapid progress that has been made is remarkable.

Grumble-

Lucia, feeling that her sore body had relaxed to some extent, got up and put away the book she was reading.

and.

Lucia took out a new book from the bookshelf and received a loan confirmation from the maid in charge of the library.

If you happen to encounter a nasiron,

Lucia arrived at her room by the shortest route, locked the door, and flopped down on the bed.

The book in her hand was none other than…

[The great life story of the great savior, ancestor Kylie, who will be immortalized forever]

Reading a children’s book by an unknown author suddenly became a ritual to end her day.

Lucia hummed and opened the middle page of the book. I wonder how many times she had opened it, but that part was especially worn.

[Cry, Sirius.]

[Sword God Kylie’s sword howled. The sword spewed out a pillar of light as if it was about to tear the world apart, and no one could stop it, fearing both believers and demons.]

‘That’s right. I must have been very strong.’

Hehehe

Lucia looked at her biography with a proud smile.

Ta-bak- Ta-bak-

Lucia walked down the hallway softly illuminated by moonlight without relying on a single lamp. Even though she did not specifically practice mana, her eyesight was bright at night.

“Toilet. Toilet… Anyway, this mansion is unnecessarily large. ”

Lucia wandered the hallways of the mansion in her pajamas late at night because she needed to go to the bathroom.

I wiggled my toes and held back the urge to urinate. I drank the black tea the maid gave me and read the book until my eyes closed, which was poisonous to me.

‘I never thought I would fall asleep just like that. ‘To make a mistake like this, I’m a total loser…’

Since ancient times, a top-class warrior has to be in perfect condition at any time and any place… Even, I couldn’t even hold a pee, so I woke up in the middle of my sleep.

Before coming to Dawn Castle, when she lived with her mother, she had been quite relaxed, but Lucia felt sorry for herself, saying that at least nothing like this had happened.

‘If I keep going like this, I might end up a lousy person. ‘I have to start training again tomorrow.’

Did you wander around for that long?

‘found.’

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a bathroom sign glowing even in the dark.

It wasn’t polite to run in the hallway, but now is not the time to worry about such trivial things. Lucia headed toward the bathroom without delay.

“Whew. I almost got into big trouble.”

As I looked at my errands, I felt a pleasant sense of liberation. Did you even wash your hands thoroughly like that?

-Clink

“… … What is it?”

The sound of something similar to glass breaking was heard beyond the darkness. Lucia, who felt something strange, walked slowly toward the source of the sound.

“… … .”

“… … Poetry?”

In the darkness, there was Shiron holding a long sword.

He was a small-faced thief carrying a backpack on his back and wearing a mask, but Lucia recognized him as Siron based on his height and body shape.

At the sound of his name being called, Siron glanced at Lucia… then turned his head as if ignoring him and continued rummaging through the mess of broken glass.

Lucia frowned at his suspicious behavior and approached Siron.

“Hey, what are you doing? What are you going to do in the middle of the night when the maid sees you?”

“Shh…be quiet.”

“……What is it?”

Siron pretended to cover his mouth with his index finger towards Lucia.

“found.”

I found a necklace and immediately hung it around my neck.

‘what. also.’

Lucia had doubts about that natural behavior.

Siron always did things inexplicably, but this time it was especially so.

Living under the same roof with Siron for a little over a month, I would have gotten used to his continuous eccentricities by now, but my mind is filled with question marks as he commits vandalism and even steals without the maids’ permission in the middle of the night. It started to kick.

Lucia had a somewhat ominous feeling.

“Hey. That’s not yours… Why do you wear it naturally around your neck?”

Lucia whispered softly to Siron and scolded him.

“… … Are you curious?”

Instead of answering, Shiron smiled and opened the window.

A strong winter wind blows, causing Siron’s hair and coat to flutter.

Are you going to go out and sell stolen goods dressed like that?

However, Lucia decided to try her best to act calm.

“… … I’m not curious.”

“Really? Are you sure?”

“… … .”

Lucia noticed Siron’s expression looking unlucky today. I felt like I wanted to hit him with all my might.

“If you’re curious, follow me.”

After saying those words, Shiron jumped out of the window.

“Crazy!”

Lucia quickly stuck her head out the window, but Siron had already disappeared into the darkness.

‘Is that guy really crazy?!’

Lucia forgot that she was wearing pajamas and slippers, and jumped down after Siron.

“Hey you bastard!Aren’t you there?!”
