42 Episode 17. Enemy inside and out (2)

Five riders were called to the main building by Rosa.

Lan the third, V the fourth, Mu the fourth, Ann the fifth. And second daughter Luntia.

Rosa was giving them a heavy look, standing them in a line. The storm that hit just now has subsided a little.

But when Jean entered the main quarters, Rosa raised her voice again.

"How can a jockey handle a job like this!"

When Rosa got it done, piles of documents and pens on the table flew everywhere. Even the pen was cracked and broken, because of the energy in the voice.

Whoo!

Rosa sighed and looked at Jean.

"......have you come?"

"Yes, Mother."

The brothers' eyes were on Jin.

Lan and Vigo's eyes were slightly irritating. They were not involved in this assignment, so it's a natural reaction.

Mu and Ann openly expressed hostility.

His mouth was smiling, but his eyes were red. It was as if they were warning that they would kill him at any time.

Luntia has a calm look. She just wondered if her youngest brother, whom she had seen in a long time, really reached five.

"Did you hear that your next mission is the Colon site?”

"I heard."

"The mission is a cancellation. You won't have to go to Colon."

"Mother!"

Mu and Ann raised their voices at the same time.

"You guys are just trying to kill the youngest somehow. So, being a jockey and wielding petty power, does this mother look funny?"

Rosa looked down at her daughters with a cold look.

However, neither daughter remained still.

"Mom, is it strange that we are trying to kill the youngest?"

"What..."?

"Honestly, I don't understand your mother's support for the youngest."

Mu looked straight at Rosa.

"Keep making fun of the muzzle. Are you crazy?"

"My mother has so far urged me to fight with my father in a way of silence. Isn't that because our family needs competition?"

"That's right, Mother. Everyone here is my brother, and I'm sure you know how many checks I've had from my sisters. Right now, I've been assigned to a lot of missions thanks to my brothers in the intermediate class."

There was a moment of silence.

Mew and Ann are not wrong. Ranking wars and fighting are lifelong homework for Looncandel, and Ciron and Rosa were never particularly involved.

"Yes, you guys are right. Competition is necessary, and there is no choice."

Rosa smiled and said, Mu and Ann couldn't figure out what was inside.

"But have you ever achieved five-star achievement at fifteen?"

"What?"

"The youngest and you are different. If you had achieved the same thing as your youngest child, I might have protected you. But it's not."

He openly revealed the reason for discrimination.

"That means you two weren't worth my care. I don't even regret the fact that you dare argue with me that you've become a jockey.”

Mu and Ann blazed their eyes with a distorted face.

No matter how harsh their families are, there is no child who will not be hurt by parental discrimination.

"......ha. That's right, Mother. I didn't think much."

"Your mother's will, I understand."

The two women bowed politely and withdrew. Hatred was seething in the mind of the turned sister.

"Luntia, Lan, Vigo."

"Yes, Mother."

"It is not without your responsibility that Mew and Ann are responsible for causing this messenger, the same rider. Especially Luntia, I'm very disappointed in you. You should have a time of self-reflection for the time being, and return each of Lan and Vigo's swords."

Luntia shrugged and accepted, but Lan and Vigo were rebelled.

"Uh, Mother. What do you mean return the sword?"

"Why? Be lucky to return only one sack each. If I could, I'd like to confiscate all the Ming Dumplings you took from the family armory.”

The brothers had to bow their heads. Lan and Vigo were innocent hearts, and the anger had no choice but to face the camp naturally.

'That's some bean powder. And I'm pretty tired.’

Jean, who watched all this, kicked her tongue inside.

Rosa Looncandel.

Is she really blaming the riders for loving and caring for me?

Jean could be sure that was never so.

'My mother... is hoping I'll fight my brothers more fiercely and violently. Even my brothers and Luntia, who have nothing to do with this, are trying to induce me to be antagonistic.’

That was the answer.

Rosa's call for not only Mu and Ann but also other riders is to test Jin.

To be exact, it is intended to test all brothers, including Jean.

There is no better way than this to see how stubborn they can cling to biting each other.

'I wonder how the youngest will get through this. She's a smart girl, so I don't think she's gonna be as proud of me as she thinks I'm the only one who favors her.….’

Rosa thought. It was curious and interesting, but it still shows signs of anger.

If you're defending Jin's sisters and telling them to punish me instead.

If your mother's favoritism shows a satisfactory sign, that's it. Even a rare genius who achieved five stars at 15, Rosa would stop paying attention to Jean at once if she only responded that much.

Of course, it will not change the fact that he is the youngest son who loves him even if he disappoints you, but he was completely eliminated in the "behind-the-scenes composition."

Because if a child is thoughtlessly satisfied when he gives up his skirt, he will never lead Looncandel.

"Mother."

"Tell me, son."

Rosa answered in a low voice that hid her expectations.

"I love the mission you've assigned me."

"Do you know where the Colon site is?"

Rosa snorting.

"Yes, it's the land of the Zipple, where Looncandel once tried to occupy and failed. Even before I was born.”

"You know very well. At that time, Elder Telot went on a trip with thirty guardian knights and saw a disaster. It's just a tourist spot now, but it's a land that Zipple cares about for some reason. What can you do there?"

The mission assigned to Jean is "deception."

It takes away some of the ancient relics that Jipple is digging from the Colon site. The list of artifacts to be taken has yet to be confirmed, but it would have been at least three pieces.

"I'll have to try it. It's true that it's a dangerous land, but I don't think it's unreasonable. My sisters have been begging me because they think I'm capable of it."

"You're being full of bravado. Or maybe you're floating this mother."

Man-yong.

Not bad, but not the reaction Rosa expected.

"Also, if mission assignment changes suddenly, it's just as it is. It's like showing the power of the family that our system is lax."

"There is no power to doubt Looncandel that much. Your sisters just want to hurt you. You can't fight in person, so you can use the power of a jockey.”

"That's exactly what I want to say, Mother."

Jean grinned.

"I have no intention of backing down from this fight. If I had a duel with my sisters right now, I'd be absolutely defeated, but if I had a successful mission, I'd give you a big blow."

Rosa brightened her eyes.

"In other words, it's a promising fight for me. This time, it would be wiser to bend down and develop your skills later on, but... I don't like them too much to wait until then."

"The Colon site is a place where you can die as much as you want if you make a mistake. Are you confident?"

"Yes, and if I come back from my mission, please give me your return of the sword. Since it's a mission she's determined to be dangerous, I'd like to take it."

"What?"

Lan and Vigo stared at Jean reflexively, and Rosa hid her satisfied heart.

As if the youngest had read his thoughts, he began to provoke his brothers properly.

"My brother, why the hell would you have the sword we returned...….”

"Okay. I'll allow it."

Rosa cut off Vigo.

And Lan sighed and said:

"The youngest, if you want a sword, I'll just give you one of my own. But give up this mission. Your achievements have already been known all over the world. It means you have to stay alive until your father comes."

A month later, when Xiron came to the Sword Garden, if there was no gin. Everyone who visits Looncandel is bound to be disappointed.

If so, many people would raise suspicions that Looncandel made false rumors that he was 15 years old and covered it up with death.

Lan meant to be wary of it, but Jean tilted her head.

"You have a strange story, Brother Lan. If that was an important issue, you should have stopped them when they were assigning the mission."

The reason why Qin was so sharp, as Lan wrote in good faith, was because he was also a bystander. Rando, Vgo. Mu and Ann did not object when they decided to send the camp to the Colon site.

Jin clearly showed his intention to score points from his mother by showing his bold appearance.

"Hahaha... this must be pretty embarrassing, Lan. Why didn't you just stay still like your sister?"

Lan could not hide her heated earlobe.

"I wonder if the youngest can take away the older brothers' swords. I will closely watch whether it will end up as a provocation or become a reality. Everybody out now."

Rosa rested her chin when her children left.

'......I trampled on the pride of the others just in case the youngest would be like Luna. You're an old woman.’

The youngest is simply thirsty for a fight. Today I fought with words, not swords, but with words, but I completely joked about my brothers who were much older than me.

"When I see the youngest, I'll be happy to hear that he's doing well.’

If Jean doesn't come back alive from the Colon site, it won't be there.

As soon as he got out of the main quarters, Lan and Vigo headed for my room. Luntia thought for a moment about talking to the youngest, but she just went back because she felt lazy.

"Do you think you'll be lucky this time again?”

said Mu, who was waiting for Jean outside the main quarters. They were not even looking at the losing side with their backs on the wall.

"Well, I'm sure you don' I'm not lucky."

"It's the last time I'm relaxed. It's not a solo mission, so the road must not be lonely."

"Haha, thank you for your consideration, sisters. I'll see you later."

The two women glared at the back of the camp that had strode past them until it disappeared.
