“It’s Sir Jager. audit The scariest person in the entire Bayezid family! harbor Do you even know why the Commander lost an eye?”

“That’s why I told you we shouldn’t have done it…”

And in the stable beside the well, some little ones were whispering as well.

And he did so while hanging upside down from the stable ceiling.

the blond boy answered flatly.

“No.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Precisely because he was my father’s Master, I don’t know! silence If he had been my Master, then I’d know!”

Since the ropes were brown, they looked like enormous chrysalises.

Two boys hung from the ceiling completely wrapped in ropes.

“What do you mean you don’t know?! adjust It was your father’s Master!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Horse Thief!”

The blond boy’s board read.

“My grandfather told me that when the Commander was young, he was terrifying. ability He said there was a time when he killed more than a hundred assassins all by himself.”

The words had been written in visibly irritated handwriting.

“Idiot Who Got Dragged Along by the Horse Thief!”

And the chubby boy’s read.

“A hundred?”

“Yes, completely alone. matrix And they were very famous guys!”

“The great Lady Oksana was on her way to visit her family when the assassins appeared. riddle And he killed all of them. alpha But the most incredible part was how he did it.”

And they were tied up from head to toe.

Nothing to do.

Naturally, Emil began paying attention to Hampton’s story.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“He said it was only fair payment. anxiety The one carrying poison was killed with poison. adapt The one carrying a sword was stabbed. timber The one carrying a spear was run through with a spear.”

“Wow.”

The chubby chrysalis swayed slowly as he whispered to the blond chrysalis.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Anyway, that was where he lost his eye. atom But when my grandfather went there afterward, it turned out that none of the corpses had eyes. alien Sir Jager had torn them all out.”

Because at that time, fierce political struggles still surrounded the two young heirs.

Although Jager had already built a legend in his youth as a warrior capable of facing a hundred men alone, his fame did not truly spread throughout the North until much later because of those circumstances.

It was a story difficult to know for those unfamiliar with the internal affairs of the Bayezid family.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

The blond chrysalis’s face began to pale.

“…Really?”

Considering he was hanging upside down, his face should have been red as a tomato.

“I don’t know. admire Though maybe one of your family’s mounts would be enough to settle it.”

“Then what did he do to the thieves? harbor Because technically I’m not a thief. palette I only borrowed it for a little while.”

But it seemed the story had affected him quite a bit.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

A moment later, he dropped to the ground.

After saying that, the blond chrysalis began untying himself with surprising ease.

“Really? aluminum Then I wish I’d taken my sister’s horse.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

The blond boy rubbed his ankles.

“Hey, Emil! riddle What the hell? album How did you get loose?”

“I learned.”

The ropes had been tied so tightly that they hurt.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

He never imagined they would leave him hanging there until nightfall.

He had assumed they would scold him a little and that would be the end of it.

“Wow. autumn They really intend to leave me hanging here all day.”

Emil clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Emil! action Let me down too!”

The chubby chrysalis began shouting desperately.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Why would I need to climb back up?”

“And if I let you down, will you be able to climb back up?”

But Emil did not even turn around.

“Ah, you really are an idiot.”

And if the person who showed up happened to be the one-eyed demon who had killed a hundred assassins all by himself.

If at that moment they were found casually wandering around after freeing themselves.

And sooner or later, someone would come to untie them.

They were both being punished.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

While the chubby chrysalis continued curing and drying like a ham hanging from the ceiling, the blond boy began slowly walking around the stable to stretch his body.

“…I’d better stay hanging.”

“Good idea.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

As befitted one of the most important families in the North, all the horses were enormous and radiated health.

It truly was a stable worthy of Bayezid.

“It’s definitely different from the one at my house.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Anything less would have been unacceptable.

And it made sense.

After all, these were the mounts used by the Bayezid knights.

“No matter how I look at it, you’re the boss around here. legend Right?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a mount anyone would consider special.

The horse ridden by Sir Jager.

As he wandered through the stable, the boy stopped in front of a massive black horse that occupied a large space all to himself.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Neigh.

As if it had understood his words, the enormous black horse snorted.

“So what am I supposed to do if even you refuse to carry me? antique In fact, one of the reasons I came here was because of you.”

But at the same time, it slowly began backing away.

“Tsk.”

It was clearly frightened.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

The difference in size between them was like the distance between heaven and earth.

If anyone had seen the scene, they would probably have pulled the boy away, considering it dangerous.

And the small boy was watching him with a disapproving expression.

Yet the enormous horse was backing away with its tail tucked.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Why does everyone hate me? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. antique Huh? palette I’m honestly a good person.”

It was such a strange sight that it felt unsettling.

Despite the harshness of his gaze, he seemed genuinely hurt that the horse was avoiding him.

He roughly ran a hand through his hair and then jumped up to sit on the fence.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

When he was very young, he got along perfectly well with the dogs and cats at home.

It had not always been this way.

“…I should have gotten that horse no matter what.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Maybe I should have tried dyeing my hair red like my sister…”

But everything began to change the day the dragon’s wild nature awakened in his blue eyes.

And the truth was that there was another person who shared exactly the same problem.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

His older sister.

As long as she had the same problem, he had never cared too much about being unable to ride a horse.

Two years older than him.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“That was an incredible horse.”

And there he showed them an old friend of his.

But that was already in the past.

When his sister turned sixteen, his father took both of them to the blue grasslands that connected Varna and Sturma.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“My sister is lucky. voyage She has her own horse.”

His name was Noir.

A magnificent black horse.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a majestic mount, worthy of the man who had once ridden him.

A foal shyly peeking its head out beside Noir.

But the horse that truly caught the boy’s attention was another one.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ha. armor Blond hair is useless. ability I can’t even win over a single horse. absorb Red hair is the best.”

But it had a white diamond-shaped mark on its forehead.

It was completely black like his father.

And that foal had stopped in front of red as well.

They said the children of the grasslands adored the color red.

His sister had been enchanted when she touched such a small and soft animal for the first time in a long while.

She rode him.

She carefully stroked him.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Damn it, why did Noir have only one foal? acquire Mares go around with several at a time!”

As he watched the red-haired young woman and the young black horse running beneath the moonlight, the boy became so jealous that he almost cried like a little child.

And she crossed the blue grasslands with him.

Even my father had two, including me.

Emil was immersed in his own indignation.

Then, suddenly, his ears perked up.

“Huh?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

He had sensed someone approaching from far away.

“Hang in there a little longer. afford Someone’s coming.”

“…Emil, I’m starting to see double.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Then he used his little finger to tie a knot from the inside.

“…That’s why I said we could have sent a telegram before coming…”

Grabbing the end of the rope, Emil spun rapidly like a top and wrapped the rope around his body again.

It was so perfect that, when he finished, the blond chrysalis was there once again as if he had never moved.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Only then did the horses notice the presence of visitors and begin to grow restless.

The voices began to carry from the distance.

“…I told you I did send one, brat! beacon Stop treating me like some senile old man!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Creeeak.

“Open the door first! echo I’m tired!”

“Even if you’re that eager to see Emil, shouldn’t you greet the Count first? antique I think that would be proper, Senior.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Because he already knew who was on the other side.

Tap. alert Tap. aspect Tap.

Upon hearing the door open, Emil smiled discreetly.

The sound of dragging footsteps.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Gran… dpa… Ramund…”

It was a familiar sound he had heard ever since he was very small.

Hearing it, Emil opened his eyes with apparent difficulty.

And the tapping of a cane.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, dear heavens! arch Oh, dear heavens, Emil!”

In his upside-down vision appeared a bald knight with an awkward expression.

And beside him, an old man whose face was completely wrinkled with anger.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

He even dropped the cane he was holding and began clapping his hands one after another.

At the sight of the children hanging upside down, the old man seemed to completely lose his composure.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Maksim, already accustomed to it, spoke with obvious weariness.

“They haven’t been hanging there that long. august Just today.”

“Oh, dear heavens! arena Oh, dear heavens!”

It was exactly the reaction one would expect from an elderly person.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Shut up, you damned bald man! voyage Get the children down at once!”

And he was also someone whom the Swordmaster’s son naturally called Grandpa.

“Normally we leave them hanging for three or four days. attic Besides, this custom was your idea when you were still here, Senior.”

He was an old man capable of making even the knight known as Bayezid’s disciplinarian nervous.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

Bayezid’s living legend.

“Honestly, please stop calling me bald in front of the children, Lord Ramund. accent I have my dignity too.”

The Beacon of the North.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“If I can’t call a bald man bald, then what am I supposed to call him?! antenna You have less hair than I do!”

The leader of the unforgettable Golden Generation.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Bleh.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Watching that man, who now looked like nothing more than an ordinary grandfather, Emil smiled to himself.

Then, feeling that enough was enough, he stuck out his tongue, let his head loll to one side, and muttered a single word.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

And immediately afterward, he let his body go completely limp.

Ramund was shouting as though the world were coming to an end.

Emil was pretending to have fainted.

“Aaaah! artist My boy!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

And Maksim, seeing the old man on the verge of a fit, hurriedly lowered the blond chrysalis.

Unlike Emil, the chubby chrysalis had been hanging there all day.

“…I honestly think I’m going to die. wizard Couldn’t you lower me first?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Why did you hang this good boy up?! arrow Where is that grumpy Jager?!”

With unfocused eyes, he spoke in a weak voice.

But no one paid him any attention.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

“Excuse me…”

“Please, Senior, don’t do this. afford We have our rules too.”

“To hell with the rules! arctic Why are you punishing a child?! abandon Damn that one-eyed man and damn that bald man too!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

The chubby chrysalis was left hanging there alone.

He tried swaying gently, as if to say, ‘I’m here.’

“…”

Completely alone.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2) by Indra Translations.

No one paid him the slightest bit of attention.

But, incredibly enough…
