TN: 4 more to go.
Oh yes, the author uses 14 (jyu-yon) to call John as they sounded alike in Japanese. I find it amusing so I’m keeping it.
AN: Introduction of a new character. As promised, a scholar.
However, 85 likes!?
The moment I saw that my eyes dropped onto the floor…
I am too happy!
Thank you!
It will still be slow-tempo from now on so youroshiku onegaishimasu.
Tonight, I was invited to the birthday party for the son of the famous Beryl’s house.
The head of a distinguished family as well as the leader of the knights, Gion Sama. Well known of his intellect and also his strength, as was seen by the military. A person I greatly respected.
My name was John Veltor.
I was born in a mid-class noble house and was currently a scholar. Even if I said so myself, I thought I could be considered as clever. But my house could be said as rotten.
My father was deplorable and my foolish brothers followed his footsteps. They squeezed tax money out of their subjects and spent it on pleasure. How shameless.
As the 2nd son, I could do nothing. It was frustrating so to become someone who could stand up to that, I abandoned my house. Now, I was working hard as a scholar.
Gion Sama, whom I respected. As rumors went, he imposed good governance across his territory and when I met him in person, I trembled at his wiseness. How could such a perfect person exist?
……But….
I often heard rumors about Beryl’s house’s child.
That he was a genius.
That he was a prodigy.
Gion Sama said that too…It was unimaginable.
He was a strict person for better or worst.
But he was a parent after all.
This was disappointing. I felt like going home.
Possessing great intellect, was very reliable, that was why…
The person standing on the stage talking, was that really Gion Sama?
Certainly, standing in front of a crowd at only 3 years old was a little impressive but at most that meant his growth was faster then other children. [TN: You have no IDEA.]
In the end, this was just fond parents showing off their child, I thought as I looked up at the stage.
