“… What do you mean by being arrogant?”

“You’ll probably understand it right away when you see it… .”

Elia smiled awkwardly and let out a small laugh.

“I feel like I’m gossiping about someone, so I don’t feel very good about it.”

But it’s true… .

Elia muttered something as if she was going to die, then nodded as if she had made up her mind and looked back at me.

… I was startled when he suddenly thrust his face in.

“What, what is it?”

“I’ll explain what actually happened.”

“Hmm, that would be better.”

Certainly, it would be more accurate to infer from actual events rather than abstract things heard from others.

Nodding her head, Elia frowned and began to mutter.

Listening to her words, I couldn’t help but have various reactions, such as my eyes opening wide or my mouth dropping open.

To that extent, each and every one of the things that Cheol-hyeol did were things that even a person with common sense like me could not understand even if I wanted to.

…

“… Is everything I’ve said so far true?”

Elia mentioned the various incidents and accidents that Ironblood had committed, which helped her recall what kind of person she was.

“Yes… In the name of the saint, I swear on it all, these are things I witnessed with my own eyes.”

“Uhh… .”

He closed his eyes tightly and touched his forehead.

Based on what I heard from Elia, I tried to construct my own image of Iron-Blooded, but… .

“Hmm.”

I have absolutely no idea what kind of person Cheolhyeol is.

No, that would be true.

If you just listen to what Elia says, there’s no one crazier than her in the world, so what can you guess?

As of now, all we have is information that she is a ‘woman with a ruined personality’.

…but.

I turned my head slightly and looked at the nameless man who was glancing in my direction.

“Wow… Anonymous, why are you like that…?”

“… I don’t know either.”

I felt embarrassed for no reason at Elia’s seemingly disgusted words and avoided eye contact.

… Anyway, let’s continue thinking again.

If you listen to the words of the anonymous, Cheolhyeol is truly a sage.

He took the lead in overcoming the crisis that befell the empire at a young age, and sacrificed his own happiness, that is, marriage, to become the shield of the empire.

My head is spinning.

It seems as though Elia’s words and the nameless one do not match at all.

“Muuu… .”

His military power is also outstanding, he has accomplished many feats, and if he is a duke, his title is also high.

Well, maybe it’s natural for our personalities to be completely different?

As I was tilting my head here and there, forming an image of Iron Blood in my head, Myeong-un approached me and gently tapped me on the shoulder.

“Master, I think it’s okay to go in.”

“Hmm, okay.”

I was out of my thoughts at the nameless words and looked straight ahead.

Elia and Lucius are looking at me.

Hmm, that’s burdensome.

I guess I had finished preparing a long time ago, but I guess I was lost in thought.

“… Let’s go quickly.”

“Yes, Master.”

He held hands with Anonymous and headed toward the castle wall.

…

“Hmm, it’s big.”

When looking from afar, the height of the castle wall seemed low, but when I got closer, it was overwhelmingly larger than the castle wall I had seen before.

It seems that the castle behind the wall was so tall that it looked relatively small.

As I was looking around the castle walls with a small exclamation of admiration, soon the castle gate began to rise with a huge roar.

“Ohhh… .”

Elia glanced at me and covered her mouth, whispering something to Lucius.

“Harang has so many reactions… .”

“Saint… You don’t have to tell me everything.”

I was so absorbed in the strange excitement of the overwhelming enormity that I had no time to pay attention to him.

He ran around with the aforementioned face and waved his nameless hand.

“Nameless! You’re so big!”

“Yes, that is true.”

Anonymous kept a small smile on his face as his body shook violently because of me and he clapped his hands in agreement.

I felt even more connected to him, feeling the same emotions as I did, and I tried to grab his arm and run to the gate.

“Ugh!”

Anonymous let go of my hand and put his hand inside my armpit and lifted me up.

My appearance became like that of a sagging cat.

“Profit! Why are you asking for it again this time?!”

As I was being held by the nameless man and was waving my arms in a small way to resist, the nameless man dodged my arms here and there and opened his mouth.

“I want to leave right away, but isn’t there a procedure?”

“… Procedure?”

I stopped swinging my arm at the nameless horse and turned my head slightly.

Lucius and Elia were seen talking to a knight in light ceremonial attire, different from the knight guarding the walls.

When their eyes met, Elia smiled awkwardly and waved.

“Uh… Could you come over here for a second?”

“…”

I wonder how I appeared to them… .

There is no need to think deeply about it.

Perhaps, I looked like a child running around without any care.

It’s shameful!

At this age, I’m still excited just by seeing a big castle wall!

No, but I still have a lot to say.

You know, I lived in a cabin for a long time, cut off from the outside world…?

Besides, before coming to this world, I was a so-called nerd who read fantasy novels.

If you showed me such a magnificent scene, how could I not get excited?

I can guarantee that even if you bring Buddha, he will jump up and down like an excited child.

Hmm, right.

I was not wrong.

I opened my eyes slightly and looked around, but I was still smiling awkwardly.

Don’t look at me like that!

To hide his face that was flushed with shame, he wiped his face and patted the nameless man’s shoulder without saying a word.

As if he felt what I wanted, Anumyeong carefully placed me on the floor.

As soon as my feet, which had been floating in the air, touched the ground, I swept my face once,

“Ahem, big.”

After clearing his throat slightly, he started walking slowly towards Lucius as if nothing had happened.

“Master, it’s okay. Who would dare to point out your actions?”

“Shut your mouth!”

I kicked the nameless, clueless shin once.

…

The knight in light armor looked at me and the nameless man, then back at Lucius.

“Your Majesty, are these people also your guests?”

“Yes.”

The knight looked at me blankly, frowned, and nodded.

“… Okay.”

Is there something that doesn’t seem right?

Elia, who saw the reaction to that article, smiled bitterly and approached me as if she had guessed something.

“Huh?”

“Maybe… It seems like it’s because of Harang’s outfit… ?”

At Elia’s words, I lowered my head and looked at my clothes.

Hmm, I have no idea what the problem is.

Elia let out a small sigh as if she had expected this and continued speaking.

“In Ellen, there are only people who walk around in such thin clothes… poor people, or, a little, provocative… ? Oh, only people who work at brothels… .”

“What.”

“Besides, since Lucius and I have the same status, someone wearing thin clothes like Harang would have looked strange.”

The anonymous words were true?

Clearly, I thought he was talking nonsense, trying to get me to dress up somehow… .

Slightly- I turned my head and looked at the nameless man, who was glaring at the knight with a frown.

Hmm, should I put on some clothes now?

Honestly, I don’t really care if I get looked at like that, but if I think about it from an anonymous perspective, my teacher gets looked at like that…

If that happens, there’s no way Moo-myeong can stay still.

He let out a small sigh and grabbed the nameless sleeve.

“Clothes.”

“Yes, Master.”

The anonymous man smiled brightly and, as if he had been waiting, took off his jacket and put it on me.

I looked closely at the man, wondering why he had taken off his coat and given it to me, and saw that he was still wearing it even though he had taken off his coat and given it to me.

“… ?”

The nameless man proudly flapped his coat.

“I knew this would happen, so I wore two layers.”

“… Good job.”

Lucius, who had been quietly watching me and Mu-myeong, nodded and opened his mouth.

“It seems like everything is ready, so let’s go.”

“I will guide you.”

The article took the lead.

…

The castle was reached after a long walk past the castle walls.

After being guided up to that point, we were guided to the reception room by the white-haired old butler in front of the castle.

And the Iron Blood that was waiting for us there had a body type that was completely different from the image I had in my head.

Judging from the fact that he had a slightly lower eye level than me, who is short, he seemed to be slightly under 150 cm tall, and his body type also looked somewhat young to match his short height.

Next, the color of the hair that stands out is the blue-tinged silver hair with blue bridges here and there, and the sharp blue eyes, unlike the nameless ones, look mean rather than fierce.

Iron Blood smiled slyly, revealing sharp teeth that reminded one of a shark.

“What the heck, you rascals, you’re only here now? It’s too late.”
