Chapter 40: Give and Take (3)
All the unwanted guests have departed, and now the only guests remaining in the mansion are Joseph’s people.
The true guests are only the Bayezids from the north, and Alicia has organized a farewell ceremony for them on the day of their departure.
Joseph, who knew the circumstances, dropped a hint in advance, and Alicia was able to organize it without pressure.
In essence, she would have offered them a grand banquet, but the Heinals were only just now repairing the rift.

“Vlad of Soara, Bayezid’s squire, please come forward, Lady Alicia.”
Because Joseph or Jager. echo He hadn’t heard anything from either of them.
At Duncan’s call, the still bandaged boy took a step forward, looking a bit nervous.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Alicia smiled at the still innocent look on the boy’s face.
A part of her wanted to tease him a bit more, but she had to fulfill her duty.
Vlad glanced at Duncan and knelt down carelessly as a sign of agreement.
“Get on your knees… not to the left. matrix That’s it, on your knees.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
There was a small murmur in the room at the small ceremony that only Alicia and Duncan had discussed.
“Thank you very much, sir. armor Vlad of Soara. alien I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for you.”
“You defended my honor and brought light to a duel plagued with deceit, and no amount of gratitude will ever be enough, so please.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It was dramatic, and she was grateful.
The price of borrowing from Jager had already been generously paid.
But Alicia wished to repay the boy herself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
From her dress, Alicia pulled out a folded handkerchief.
By its appearance, it was evident that it was made of the finest silk, as it reflected the light impeccably.
“I wish to entrust you with my name, to a man who was not a knight but was more honorable than a knight. avalanche Vlad Of Soara.”
A handkerchief of purple fabric, embroidered with golden thread.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Because he realized what Alicia intended by giving Vlad the handkerchief.
“!”
“Hmm.”
Heinal’s vassals watched in astonishment as Alicia handed the boy a handkerchief with her name, but Joseph, who had been listening, nodded silently. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

It’s the best way to show gratitude and take advantage at the same time.
As expected… she is a smart woman.
She wants to demonstrate her connection with Bayezid and Heinal by having a prospect named Vlad.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
If he had known what would happen a little later, he would have intervened.
Of course.
Joseph had every right to be unhappy with the ceremony that was organized without his knowledge, but at least it wasn’t a loss, so he let it unfold.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Vlad thought as he watched Alicia trying to hand him her handkerchief.
“If a noble gives you something, you must accept it. admire That is common courtesy.”
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
How he had been punished for not accepting the peanuts Rutiger had offered him upon arriving at the Bayezid mansion.
‘I can’t mess it up again.’
Jager’s words echoed in Vlad’s head.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
So, it would undoubtedly be disrespectful to her not to accept the handkerchief now.
“Thank you. ability Lady Alicia.”
He might be beaten by Jager again.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
So, he took it.
“…!”
With both hands, politely, with the best manners he knew.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It came out so naturally that no one stopped him.

Alicia couldn’t hide her surprise as she watched Vlad take the handkerchief with both hands.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Vlad was puzzled, looking at the aquamarine-haired woman who blushed more and more.
“…?”
“Well, that… that’s not right.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Even Joseph sighed, realizing his mistake.
The boy who had grown up on the streets had little knowledge of the noble world.
“Uh, uh. action I see. abandon I hadn’t realized.”
Next to him, the face of the elderly knight Duncan contorted, and he began to stutter.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Uncertain of what to do with a simple handkerchief, Vlad just rolled his eyes.
“Is it… okay?”
A handkerchief with Lady Alicia’s name.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
By tying it to the tip of her sword.
There were two ways a lady could hand over a handkerchief as a symbol of her favor.
And by passing it from hand to hand.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Vlad had just received his name through the latter method. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Leaving Deirmar and returning to Sturma.
“….”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Seated in the carriage, Joseph couldn’t suppress the boisterous laughter from earlier.
“…I apologize.”
Vlad, now aware of the situation, hadn’t been able to lift his head since he got on the carriage.
“It’s been a while since I felt so amazed. palette Of course, it’s all my fault.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It was a mistake for which he had no words.
“What’s with you and the peanuts the other day, and why do you make such a fuss every time you’re given something?”
“I didn’t know…”
Jager, on his horse next to the carriage, growled at Vlad as if he had been waiting for this.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Why did you grab it with both hands when you were on your knees?”
“Haa…”
Jager rubbed his temples and grunted forcefully from his horse.
“Because aristocrats… shouldn’t move?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
He couldn’t blame him for not knowing in the first place.
It just burned inside him.
He did what he was told, so there was nothing to say about it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Just look at me first when you receive something from nobles in the future! palette Understand?”
“…”
Only now did Jager realize that it takes pain and patience to cultivate something properly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
One was honor.
Vlad could only nod at Jager’s insistence.
Receiving a handkerchief with a lady’s name meant two things.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It was a gesture so simple that a mother could give it to her son.
The other was love.
The swordsman who received honor extended his sheath, and the lady handed it to him with a handkerchief hanging from it.

It was just a sign of support for a loved one.
Hand-to-hand, however, was different.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Joseph rubbed his tingling temples from the longest laughter he had let out in a long time.
“Knight?”
“In any case, congratulations on your promotion to the rank of quasi-knight.”
“People in this territory won’t have to worry about making a living for a while.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, since you are a knight honored by the noble Lady Alicia, you will be treated as a knight, at least where your name is known.”
A knight…
A knight! Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Vlad repeated, sensing the weight in Joseph’s voice when he said the word.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“If…”
Vlad’s blue eyes lit up as if for the first time in his life.
“Well, she just became a baroness, so I guess her name is only recognizable in Deirmar.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
The emotions that threatened to overwhelm him quickly cooled.
That’s why it’s called a quasi-knight, not a knight.
‘It won’t be that easy.’
Vlad had met so many great knights in his life that even if they named him a knight now, he wouldn’t take it seriously.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It was soft and pleasant to the touch.
“Tsk.”
Vlad toyed with the handkerchief Alicia had given him, nostalgically.
He knew he was still far from being in their league.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Just have to live with it. zenith You made it possible by grabbing it with both hands.”
In response to Vlad’s innocent question, Joseph shrugged.
“What if I lose it?”
“It was a mistake when you received it, but now that you know what it means, you must never lose that handkerchief.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It was the first time in his life that he received something that had to be handled with care, and it started to feel unnecessarily heavy inside.
Upon hearing Joseph’s response, Vlad buried the handkerchief Alicia had given him deep in his chest.
“It’s better not to lose it…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It was a piece of paper with rough handwriting.
Joseph pulled out a piece of paper and waved it in front of Vlad’s face.
“Well, it’s been a crazy way to end, but I guess I won’t need it now that you’ve done your job.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
It explains the essence of the case and tells us what position the boy held.
“What’s that?”
“Once again, I appreciate your work. atom You’ve saved me a lot of trouble.”
Vlad asked, and Joseph handed him the now useless piece of paper.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Taking the paper from Joseph’s hand, Vlad remembered the day’s events.
“Just in case you lose a duel.”
It’s like a lesson for Vlad but also a reward.
“Ah.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“For…?”
He said he had something in mind.
Joseph had asked him to hold on for ten minutes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Thank you.”
Vlad groped to read what was written on the paper now that he had learned to read thanks to Haven.
Vlad returned the compliment to Joseph and looked down at the signature line at the bottom of the loan certificate.
“Nevertheless, congratulations on learning to read.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
The borrower was Alicia Heinal.
“Alicia?

The amount is.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“It was a way to secure her soldiers in case she lost a duel. aluminum Although she didn’t actually borrow them.”
“Ten thousand gold!”
His lord, sitting in front of him, was smiling from ear to ear.
Vlad’s eyes widened at the staggering sum, and he looked at Joseph.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Alicia was supposed to surrender if she lost all her status.”
If Alicia had lost to Endre, she would have died.
Grasping the paper from Vlad, Joseph continued.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
That’s why Joseph had made a point to secure her enlistment in the first place.
And the power to enforce it.
Endre wouldn’t have wanted to leave even a little of a legacy. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Joseph said, putting the paper back between his arms.
The boy asked, feeling a strange sensation that saying her name would make him unnecessarily affectionate.
“Is there any reason to bring Lady Alicia…? afford I thought you knew that if you lost the duel, you would lose your right to the throne.”
“That’s true.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Even if Endre had become the new baron of House Heinal, Joseph would have felt great pressure if Alicia were in the hands of Bayezid.
It was an arrow that could fly at any moment.
“But a cause is like an ember hidden in ashes, something that can flare up with the right wind.”
A cause is a cause.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
The boy, who understood a bit of the world of nobles, was impressed.
“So, I guess I’ll end up dueling with Lord Pablo again after all?”
“I see.”
Now he understood why nobles lived by the order of the law.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
With that thought in mind, Vlad turned to Joseph, but the response he received was somewhat of a tepid half-question.
“…Really?”
From what Vlad had just learned, Endre was still alive, so the embers of succession were still alive.
If so, someday he might face Pablo de Arnstein.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Lord Joseph. crystal Unidentified people are approaching.”
“What color are they dressed in?”
While Vlad was perplexed by Joseph’s response, Jager suddenly appeared at the window.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Good. zenith Send a signal.”
Upon Jager’s report, Joseph nodded and commanded.
“They are dressed in black and have blue scarves on their forearms.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
The old, chubby knight took out his whistle and blew it as hard as he could.
Peevish-.
“Yes.”
Upon hearing Joseph’s order, Jager signaled Bordan with a gesture.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Or at least Vlad, with his sharp sense of hearing.
“There’s a response.”
Peeeeeeep-.
It was a thin, piercing sound that only a trained ear would recognize.

“…?”
“Yes. zenith And you ended up using it for something else.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
The men headed towards them in the blink of an eye, as if they were watching the road.
In the distance, men in black began to gallop towards them on horseback.
Vlad, unable to join the conversation, looked at the two alternately, astonished.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Lord Joseph, we’ve been a bit delayed trying to settle scores.”
One of them, who seemed to be the captain, approached the carriage without any inhibition and handed Joseph a black bag.
“Good work.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“Hmph, is that it?”
“Well, at least be kind to me later.”
“The word has already spread in the territory.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
While the stranger chatted nonchalantly with Joseph, Vlad realized he had an ally but couldn’t hide his nervousness.
Vlad is finally in his own world.
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
So for a boy with new sensations he had never felt before, the man in front of him had enough momentum to make him feel danger.
My instincts told me.
The scent of danger in the air.
The scars on his face.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Do you want to come with me?”
You couldn’t play with the man in black.
“I think we should head back a bit earlier.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
They looked like an army in their precision.
At a signal from the scar-faced man, the men in black began to move in disciplined movements.
“I was just fulfilling my duty as the Sword of Bayezid.”
“It’s a shame, thanks for your efforts.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“Hmph. beacon Seems like they were eager for a duel.”
While Vlad was worried about the men who had entered and exited so abruptly, Joseph opened the bag given to him by the man in black and gave a subtle smile.
“What?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“I guess I’ll have to come up with an excuse other than a duel to see your lady again.”
Vlad felt the chill in Joseph’s jest.
“…..”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
A familiar smell accompanied by moisture.
Cautiously, Vlad opened the bag Joseph had handed him.
It was a sensation he was used to feeling in the alleyways.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
“…I suppose so.”
The world of cold.
Inside the black bag that the boy opened was the world of nobility.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
Relentless.
And also a world…
Brutal.
Endre, the man who mocked Bayezid.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 40: Give and Take (3) by Indra Translations.
With wide-open eyes.
His head was there.
