Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2)

This was because even when he closed his eyes, the thoughts that came to mind kept chaining together non-stop.

Vlad, who had been tossing and turning all night, only managed to fall asleep at dawn.

[What is the virtue of a knight?]

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

However, even though he had fallen asleep late, today’s sun was not going to wait for him.

“…Please.”

After the tense incident in Moshiam, Vlad finally found a moment to rest.

[You can only be called a true knight if you are always fully prepared for action. acid The incidents and accidents that will come won’t wait for you.]

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

[Always be on guard…]

Therefore, even though he wanted to sleep a little longer, the problem was that the presence within him was none other than Kihano, the knight of knights.

Struggling against fatigue and worries, Vlad protested irritably to Kihano, but the problem was that there was another person hearing his words besides Kihano.

“I just want to sleep. sphere Please.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Be quiet, will you?”

Vlad’s eyes opened when he heard a familiar voice coming from inside the room.

The fatigue intertwined with bloodshot veins still persisted in Vlad’s eyes, but now was a moment when he shouldn’t be able to comfortably close his eyes.

“Huh?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Can we talk for a moment?”

Vlad jumped out of bed and grabbed Zemina, who was trying to leave the room, making her turn around.

“It’s fine. audit I’ll go. timber Keep sleeping.”

“No… Wait a minute, Zemina.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Leaning against the door she had just slammed shut, Zemina slightly nodded, seeing the urgent expression on Vlad’s face.

[See? ability Incidents and accidents won’t wait for you.]

“If it’s just a moment.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Sitting on the bed, swinging her feet that didn’t reach the floor, Zemina looked at Vlad and replied.

“What happened yesterday? sphere Why were you alone with Lady Alicia?”

Vlad deliberately ignored Kihano’s words and carefully sat Zemina down on the somewhat gloomy-looking bed, cautiously opening his mouth.

“You ask so quickly.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. crystal Lady Alicia just asked me to stay away from you.”

[Oh, wow.]

“It wasn’t a big deal.”

“Really?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Seeing Zemina shrug as if it wasn’t a big deal, Vlad felt a mix of frustration and anger.

Even though it was too heavy news to hear first thing in the morning, Zemina, who was saying it, seemed perfectly calm.

“I used to see things like that at the Rose’s Smile. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com arena But I didn’t expect it to happen to me.”

“And what did you say?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“I can do anything for you.”

Zemina’s eyes, looking at Vlad, seemed somehow sad.

“What could I say to her?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Because between them, officially, there was nothing concrete.

Although she was present, she had no right to cling to him.

Implicitly, it was functioning, but if you asked about Vlad’s qualifications like yesterday, Zemina had nothing to say.

“I had nothing suitable to say.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m sorry… I apologize.”

As Vlad watched Zemina speak so indifferently, he realized he had been too insensitive.

“Why are you apologizing?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

He only needed to say one word.

With Zemina sitting in front of him, Vlad scratched his neck and sincerely admitted his mistakes.

“…For not telling you clearly.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“…!”

“Listen carefully.”

And now he had the right to say that word.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“I wanted to tell you for a long time, actually I…”

The atmosphere in the room had changed abruptly, and Vlad’s eyes were looking intensely at her.

Vlad’s eyes, struggling to look at the abruptly changed atmosphere of the room, were now focused solely on Zemina.

Zemina held her breath when Vlad suddenly grabbed both her shoulders.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

Vlad was trying his hardest to create a special moment, but the persistent sound of knocking interrupted his efforts.

“I…”

KNOCK, KNOCK.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“…It’s bad, isn’t it?”

For each attempt, there is a suitable moment.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Who the hell…”

“Good morning, Lord Vlad.”

Seeing Zemina smile and point to the door with her head, Vlad realized that today was not that moment.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Lady Alicia.”

However, contrary to his annoyed mood, when he opened the door, what he saw was Alicia smiling brightly at him.

Vlad, whose pride was wounded by Zemina’s comment that it wasn’t a bad try, opened the door irritably.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“If you haven’t had breakfast yet, I thought we could have it together.”

Alicia had unpacked her luggage here, maybe because she thought a luxury inn called Rose’s Smile would be more suitable than the crowded town hall.

“I tried the food here last night, and the chef is excellent. palette Also, there are things I want to talk about over breakfast.”

Although she could have stayed at the lord’s mansion, in Soara there was only one market.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

With her hair carefully braided and a light scent of perfume, it was evident she had gotten up much earlier.

But, despite her neat appearance, her head was tilting more and more.

Even though it was early in the morning, Alicia seemed to have put a lot of effort into her appearance.

“To get to Bastopol, the city of blacksmiths…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“I guess I should have come later. avalanche What a lack of consideration.”

“To get there, to get there… Oh, God…”

Vlad turned his head to follow her gaze and was astonished.

Alicia was leaning more and more to see past Vlad.

“No, no…”

With her disheveled hair and wet eyes, the situation could be easily misinterpreted.

Zemina, who had been sitting for quite a while, was now lying on the bed in disarray, looking at the two of them.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

The sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway, uncharacteristic of a noble, represented Alicia’s current feelings.

“…I suppose I’ll have breakfast alone. attic You two can continue what you were doing.”

And Vlad was so bewildered that he couldn’t stop her.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Incidents and accidents don’t always wait for the right moment.

[How about that? silence Didn’t I tell you?]

“…”

Kihano was indeed right.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

A place that belonged to no one but the will of God: the church.

There was a space where not even the power wielded by a lord could be arbitrarily invaded.

***

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“You’ve arrived? atlas Come in.”

Not even the landowner could enter without permission, but now there was someone moving freely in that place.

“Bishop, I’m here.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Come here. arcade I was just preparing the tea.”

The title preceding his name was guaranteed by secular power, and the surname following it was certified by the will of God.

Knight Vlad Aureo.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

As soon as he sat down, he felt calm and peace wash over him.

Vlad, who had barely escaped the chaos of the morning, could take a breather while sipping the tea served by the faithful bishop.

Vlad sat in the place Andrea indicated, observing as he poured the tea himself.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Have I ever shown you my room in Varna?”

“I said it because it seemed like it could be so.”

Vlad simply smiled as he looked at Andreas, who had a puzzled expression on his face.

“Looking at it now, the office itself hasn’t changed much since Varna.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

His room, which seemed too simple to be a bishop’s office, was not much different from the scene he had seen in Jean’s dream.

Andreas laughed disheartenedly at Vlad’s trivial response, but in reality, Vlad had already seen his office.

“Wow, how simple.”

“I heard that many things happened in Moshiam. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. timber I’m truly grateful that you protected Jean to the end.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Indeed, the incident in Moshiam had not been widely disclosed.

“I understand it wasn’t an easy problem to overcome.”

There was strict control of the situation by the Iron Lord to prevent unrest in the north.

“I simply did my best to repay the favor I received.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“The idea that there is salvation in reciprocity is not wrong. audit Through you, I have come to understand the profound meaning of His designs once again.”

However, the people who needed to know were well aware of the incident.

Andreas, bishop of Soara, was very aware of the hardships Vlad had gone through to save his young deacon.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Among the concerns that had tormented Vlad the night before was the unknown woman and the man who had introduced himself as Frausen.

“Although we managed to overcome the situation in Moshiam, I feel uneasy for not having resolved it completely, Bishop.”

Watching Andreas mutter a prayer silently, Vlad could only raise his cup with a sheepish expression. album Although he was known as a devout knight, he had never actually read the Bible.

“I understand that feeling well.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

The deeply engraved memory with the name Justia was an indelible wound for Vlad.

“Mmm…”

“Is this incident related to the woman who shed black tears that we first saw?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Andreas heavily set down his tea cup as he looked at Vlad, who had experienced it firsthand and demanded an explanation.

And this recent incident that occurred in Moshiam.

A woman shedding black tears that were a curse towards Joseph.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Andreas had pursued the black curse since his days as a priest in Varna.

Andrea took out a pen with a grave expression and began to draw something carefully.

And the church’s and his own relentless search had finally led them to a name.

“We all walk the path, but we do not know where it ends, and that tires us.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

It looked like the pattern of a church, but somehow it was twisted and upside down.

Vlad began to closely observe the patterns Andreas was drawing.

“The will of God is far away, dark temptations are close. adapt Therefore, our body and soul are the places where His holy war is constantly waged.”

“This is…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

That pattern, full of blasphemy against the sacred, was also a pattern drawn by a headless priest in a mist-filled village.

“It is the pattern of apostates. crystal It represents the lost lambs.”

What Andreas was drawing was a symbol of an upside-down church.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

By the way, the correctly drawn pattern of the church was already established within his reach.

Andreas quickly covered the paper with his hand as if he felt disgusted just by looking at it.

“People who have walked the path to God but have become more dangerous than any demon. academy The woman you encountered is one of those people.”

Andreas’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at that sinister symbol.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Long ago, there was a nun called the mother of all orphans. matrix She was God’s voice recognized by the Vatican and was called the saint of her time.”

“The choir she created for the children became the first choir of the Vatican, and to this day, it is known as Tramashu in honor of her name.”

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Vlad knew what Andreas was about to tell.

It is a very deep secret that can never be heard by anyone unless they are related to the church.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“The name I’m going to mention from now on is one of the darkest and deepest secrets the Vatican is trying to hide. altitude You must never tell anyone.”

However, even the woman known as a saint could not bear a certain reality.

The events of that day, which took place in the name of God and no one else, ultimately caused the faithful nun to shed black tears.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“I understand.”

A barely audible voice, one that not even the wind could carry away, whispered in Vlad’s ear.

Andreas carefully approached Vlad’s ear, as if he didn’t want to leave any trace.

“Ramashthu.” [1]

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Before God, it was Tramashu, but when turned away, the name was reversed and became Ramashthu.

Although the voice was from the devout bishop, the name resonated with an unmistakable stench.

“…!!”

Upon hearing that name, Vlad involuntarily shuddered.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

There was a woman who shed tears upon seeing her children completely charred by fire.

Today was a day with dense fog.

It is said that on that day, the woman shed black tears mixed with ash towards the sky as she looked at the corpses of the children, which were more charred than the remaining matches.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

And the days when there was such thick fog were also the days when Joseph’s cough worsened.

The mist was so thick that the Sturma wall couldn’t be seen in the distance.

For him, with weak lungs, the moisture-laden air was like an unwelcome visitor.

“Cough, cough. crystal Hm…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“You need to breathe. atlas Slowly.”

“I’m fine, mother.”

Joseph said he was fine, but Oksana’s fingertips followed him to the end and patted his back.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Joseph, have you thought about what I mentioned last time?”

On that cold winter day, Joseph gave a bitter smile as he felt the warmth of his mother’s hand.

“…”

Although he was a failure and a loser, his mother’s concern hadn’t changed at all.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Everything in the room soothed Joseph’s heart, but precisely because of that, the sadness felt even sharper.

Oksana started speaking, but her voice faded, as if she found it hard to finish the sentence.

“Your grandfather already knows how smart you are. accent So…”

In front of him was a steaming hot cup of tea, and behind, his mother’s hand was gently stroking his back. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Mother.”

“If you go there, you’ll have a chance to demonstrate your skills, even if it’s not a high position. shadow Besides, the weather will be warmer than here.”

No mother would simply watch her son run towards destruction.

That’s why Oksana wanted to send Joseph to her mother’s family, the Oskar family.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“Thank you for caring about me.”

His mother’s hand, which he hadn’t touched in a long time, was much rougher than he remembered.

Joseph silently took his mother’s hand as she continued to stroke his back.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

That’s why he was eager to prove it.

Joseph knew very well that each of those wrinkles was there because of his cough.

Up close, Oksana’s face was lined with slight wrinkles.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

I won’t live a life of giving up.

“But I don’t want to stop.”

Therefore, Joseph could only tell these words to Oksana.

That the son she brought into the world had become someone to be proud of.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Okay. alpha I understand.”

At that moment, mother and son felt guilty towards each other.

“I want to always live giving my best, as you taught me. alien With intensity.”

Oksana knew very well that even if the words started as warm consideration, they would turn into painful wounds when touched upon.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

“But mom will always be here. galaxy Make sure to call me when you’re going through a tough time.”

Joseph could only bow his head as he watched his mother hurriedly turn away before the sadness he had been holding back overflowed.

Oksana, once again confirming her son’s firm determination, reluctantly left Joseph’s room.

“Yes, mother.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Joseph, with his head bowed, quietly opened the drawer of his desk.

“…I’ll prove to you that I wasn’t born useless.”

Not just my life, but also the life of my mother, who gave everything for me.

Inside was an envelope as black as coal.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Joseph slowly opened the envelope.

“…”

Outside, the window behind him was filled with thick fog.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 186: Value of Aureo (2) by Indra Translations.

Today, as he opened the black letter, it was a day shrouded in mist.T/N (1): This character has already been mentioned by the headless knight chapter 64.
