Chapter 5's

It was not David, Radis who was gripping his brother's armor tightly on his chest and wearing it as he took the academy entrance examination.

Then, he was the one who headed to the demon monster forest. The conquest was as terrifying as anyone said.

However, Robert, the Commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, was tired of teaching the frightened beginners kindly. He used force instead.

He trained Radis.

And Radis survived.

He went hunting several times even as he inhaled demonic energy, and he continued to endure.

That allowed David to be appointed as a complete knight.

A native of the Tilrod family, he became a Sergeant.

Everyone in the family jumped in joy. However, during all of this, Radis had to hide in her secluded and separated room prepared for her.

Because he had absorbed too much demonic energy and his skin turned a purplish color.

“You will recover if you rest. Sleep tight."

Margaret was no longer being rude to Radis.

She has a comfortable bed and good food.

For the first time in his life, Radis finally established himself within the fence of the Tilrod family.

Radis happy.

He laughed along with a laugh that he could hear from afar.

The celebration continues for his family. His parents, David and Yurhi were very happy.

Radis continued the conquest as if he were chasing Margaret. And there are times when he comes out twice in a season.

But now, even if he rested or slept well... Radis will not improve.

Jade, who had started a trading business, had always failed. Family money fell into shallow hands, and now they get to the neck they owe because it was spent on all these luxuries.

David has new armor, Margaret and Yurhi have new dresses and jewelry, Samhar tea is brought in, and they plan to expand the mansion…

All of this requires money.

How can he relax in this house?

If he went to the temple and received the purification ritual, then the demonic energy in his body would be gone even if it required a little money. But Margaret wouldn't allow it.

“Did you even use your head? Didn't everyone find it strange that you have been infused with demonic energy? ”

Radis has survived until now. Not only did he survive, but he found a way to keep his spirit in spite of everything.

Therefore, he would be able to withstand the refining and become stronger.

The more he surpassed the difficulty, the more radiant Radis's sqord became.

Soon, he became the commander of his own army unit.

His sacrifice increased the honor of the family of Tilrod.

David became one of the most meritorious knights in the South, and Yurhi was able to hold a large wedding and dowry large enough because of the magic stone Radis brought.

The conquest continued until that day.

So, he faced a miserable death alone.

...* * *...

“…”

Radis opened his eyes.

Soft sunlight tickled his cheeks.

“Not me... die?”

Radis slowly rose. His body was strangely light.

His limbs were not heavy and made of wood, nor was there any pain from his blood vessels and muscles being torn apart by the demonic energy infused into his body.

In addition, his skin was also clean.

“…?”

Skin's clean.

It should have turned purple due to the demonic energy, but it was completely normal now.

That's not possible.

No matter how high the priestess who performed purification rituals on her, it was impossible to completely purify the contaminated body to death.

"It's weird…"

The skin on his hands was also soft.

His hands had always been rough like tree bark ever since he held the sword and held the skin, but it seemed like his hands were back just like when he was a child.

Radis looked around.

This was not his room in the pavilion.

It was his room in the main house where he spent his childhood.

Feeling strange, she walked up to the shabby dressing table and took the hand mirror there.

“…!”

...* * *...

Today was Margaret's happiest day.

It was the day when he held a banquet to celebrate his precious son's entry into the Imperial Academy.

"Everything has to be perfect today!"

He watched closely over the garden landscape, the decoration of the mansion and the banquet dishes that would be served, but even when everything was busy, the smile did not leave his lips.

He ordered the servants.

“Soon, the Imperial Academy admissions officer will be coming. Family should not look bad. You all make sure to serve them without any reservations. ”

The servants bowed low.

Meanwhile, the beautiful Yurhi was very pleased with the sumptuous banquet.

Dressed in a light green dress that matched her pretty green eyes, Yurhi was excited about the biggest cake she had ever seen. He was surrounding her while swinging his hand.

Margaret looked at him and opened her hands.

“My beautiful baby!”

They hugged me warmly.

"What did your brother do?"

"He's in the library!"

"In the library? How awesome!”

"No, he said he'd take a nap because he had nothing else to do."

“Ah, the boy. The admissions officer is coming soon! Wake your sister.”

“Oke, Mom!”

Just as he was about to run there with his hands flapping as he jumped, he suddenly looked back.

“Oh, by the way, Mom! Where is Radis?”

Margaret's voice became sharp.

“Radis? What about him?”

“Umm, this is a party to celebrate Brother's entry, right? Shouldn't the whole family be together?”

"It's okay. Did you not go..?”

“Okey.”

"Give your sister back!"

Yuri nodded and turned around.

Then, Margaret opened the main door.

At the end of the day, even Loto, the gardener, will be able to attend by wearing his only clean suit.

Radis was not allowed to come.

No wonder this question came to Yurhi's mind.

'Didn't the Radis family too?'

...* * *...

"Thank you for inviting me."

Klein, the admissions officer of the Imperial Academy, entered the house of the Tilrod family with a smile on his face.

"You must have had a hard time coming here."

Jade Tilrod, the patriarch of the family, greeted Klein, who was surprised to see Jade's mottled face and plump body.

As far as he knew, Jade was once a promising knight in the South.

But the glory of the past cannot be found in the present-day Jade.

Klein quickly learned his features and hid his thoughts behind a polite smile.

“I am pleased to be able to provide the Imperial Academy acceptance certificate to the historic home of Tilrod. How proud you are to have such an amazing son. ”

Jade smiled bitterly at the reception officer's words.

He was once a knight.

He knew better than anyone that David had no talent at all to become a knight.

Jade hopes Radis will fail the test, but the foolish Radis passes in David's name.

His hands were trembling thinking about the future.

He grabbed the shoulder of a waiter and took out a glass from his tray, chugging down the entire wine glass in one gulp.

Then, he opened his mouth.

“I'm very proud. Yes, I am very, very proud.”.

Margaret separated Jade, just as her hands began to tremble, from the bewildered Jade.

"Come in! I am Margaret Tilrod, and I am the mistress of this house. David will be here soon. Oh, he's down!”

She was busy guiding Klein away from her husband, then pointed to the stairs connected to the banquet hall.

With a helmet over his head, David wore full armor as he descended the stairs.

“Oh, David!”

A smile appeared on Klein's face.

“At the entrance exam, David was admired by everyone. I was very impressed with the eldest son of the Tilrod family. He's like Alexis Tilrod, Sword of Fire.”.

While Klein was speaking, David slowly walked towards him.

Then, as if in slow motion, he unsheathed his sword.

Klein fell silent and stopped talking.

Surprised, Margaret shook her head in panic.

“D-David! What are you doing?!"

Fortunately, David did not come close.

Instead, he turned his head and looked around the banquet hall.

Still unsure of what was going on, the servants of the mansion continued to smile as they watched David look around the beautifully decorated banquet hall, a sumptuous meal on the long buffet table, and look out for a, and a tall cake decorated with many other sweets.

Then, he raised his sword as if he was about to slash a man, he cut the top of his cake.

“Kyaaak!”

Margaret screamed while crying.

Because the piece of cake that flew through the air landed right on Margaret's chest.

He couldn't hold back the power behind the cake, so he fell back and floundered.

"What! What's this?!"

Jade, who was slightly behind Margret and Klein, shouted after him.

“David! What are you doing?!"

David did not answer.

Instead, he wiped the cream on his blade with the tablecloth in one smooth motion, then sheathed his sword once more.

Then, he walked towards Klein and extended his hand.

"Certificate of acceptance."

As Klein's face paled, he handed her an envelope tucked under his arm.

Taking this from him, David tore the envelope covered in a luxurious golden seal, then issued the acceptance certificate.

David Tilrod, the eldest son of the Tilrod family, passed the entrance examination brilliantly, and was thus accepted into the Imperial Academy.

In front of Klein's face, David tore the certificate to pieces.

Margaret, who had swept the cream from her chest, shouted.

“David—!”

Under the helmet, pink lips opened.

"No."

And he took off his helmet.

“…!”

The gardener Roto, who was standing nearby, dropped the hat he had in his hand.

“La, Miss Radis..?”

Not David, the person behind the armor is Radis.
