Sigil and Family

"Hahh.." , breathed Charla exhausted.

He thought of something that gave him a headache.

The position of the Head of the Ohara Family will make questions for months to come and he is afraid that the Ohara family will become divided into various factions. Even more afraid that he could not prevent it.

Many nobles died for mysterious reasons and already 4 were killed by the way his stomach was slashed including his uncle, the perpetrator of the death of this nobleman is still not found and he is afraid that his brother Vespasian or his friends are next.

As far as he knew only 1 person who survived after the stomach attack he heard was 'Kalavvar the Tyronian compound'.

Or 'Black River Devil' some people called him. How not did he slaughter 40,000 troops with just 20,000 of his troops, kill the 'Blue-haired Krakull' and end the Tyronia Coalition War.

He had heard of the man but he had never seen him in person and Charla had heard from Khasrow. He's just a drunk and a lucky bastard who killed a lot of Tyronians.

*I can't believe he's just a lucky drunkard bastard, the black river battle he's leading isn't just an ordinary battle, he's massacring a blue-haired Krakull army that's twice the number of his troops at the battle*, charla thought in her heart

Then he raised both his legs.

Gaining his thighs to his body.

Make his head touch his knees.

He just went back to looking at everything and feeling frustrated and sad.

"Ck."

He clicked his tongue.

Then someone patted his shoulder.

"Hai~" , Jean slapped Charla on the shoulder to surprise Charla.

Charla didn't even hear her footsteps.

"Sister!" said Charla in surprise.

"Yes! How is my beloved sister!" said Jean approaching toCharla.

"Ba..how did you get here!" said Charla still surprised.

For about 4 years, Charla never saw him again.

His half-sister.

They both have different fathers but the same mother. Jean's mother, Hera Berrau was the mother of Charla and Vespasian as well.

But Hera Berrau's first husband was Girr Berrau who was Jean's real father.

But then Girr Berrau died at the battle making Hera Berrau a widow.

Hera Berrau later married Blourr Ohara

Hera later gave birth to Charla and Vespasian, who were the children of her marriage to Blourr Ohara.

Made Jean their half-sister.

They both lived in the same castle.

But the death of Blourr Ohara due to different battles made them separate, with Hera Berrau returning to his family's castle while Charla also Vespasian lived in Gelaria studying under the teaching of the Ohara family.

Vespasian and Charla grow into soldiers and wild because they imitate Jean's wild behavior.

Because of that, Ohara's family disliked Jean enough to make bad behavior Vespasian and Charla.

They both do not have the same family name.

"You look more muscular than I ever met you 4 years ago, you've grown up on the battlefield apparently" Jean approached Charla.

"Why are you here?" said Charla, asking Jean.

"I'm here to accompany my student~" ' said Jean in a cheerful tone.

"Your disciples? Brother has a student?" said Charla more confused and surprised.

"Iya~ she has a sweet face loh~" , said Jean with a smile.

Then Jean held Charla's hand and sat next to her cheerfully, then with a slow smile Jean faded away changed into a sad face.

"...I've heard" said Jean in a soft tone, "uncle Tairar is dead."

"...yes" answered Charla sadly.

"Don't drag on for too long, you're innocent of his death" Jean said, calming Charla down.

"No, I failed to protect my family.I should have accompanied him with the soldiers to drive him to the inn" Charla said in a weak voice.

"Here you are...who has remained" said Jean, holding Charla's shoulder, "what is your family's motto?"

"E-ah?" said Charla confused.

"The motto of your family, the motto of the Ohara family" Jean explained.

"Growing.strong.between...Nail" , said Charla a little slowly.

Those words calmed down Charla a little, words that had been passed down from their ancestors.

"Yes, you as Ohara must grow strong because of obstacles and obstacles" Jean said encouragingly, "your uncle's death is a nail, therefore you must learn from his death and grow strong."

Jean's Smile.

Charla smiled too.

"Sister hasn't changed in a long time" Charla said.

Jean just smiled cheerfully and she had a chance to whistle singing a song.

His feet moved like a child as he sat in the chair.

Charla just saw it and interviewed him.

Realize that her brother Jean hasn't changed in spite of all these years.

Then the atmosphere became a little quiet and quiet.

"So how's Vespasian?" asked Jean.

"As usual he's cold but I think he's also a little sad" Charla said.

The person's face had forgotten to smile or laugh as well as cry.

Vespasian was never seen smiling, crying, or laughing was always serious and cold as ice.

No one remembers the last time Vespasian smiled, laughed, and cried.

Vespasian only once recognized a person as his friend, Vesius Garius.

He recalled how Vespasian at the age of 10 protected Vesius from accusations that he had removed his brother's golden knife.

Charla recalls how Vespasian yelled 'False allegations are allegations without valid evidence!'.

When asked who she was by Vesius' older sister, Charla remembers that for the rest of her life

'me? I am Vespasian of the Ohara family and a friend of Vesius of the Garius family!'

Vespasian was very cold even in a small age and no one expected that they would listen to it from Vespasian's mouth.

"I'm guessing" Jean said.

"Why is my sister here in Ballerius?" asked Charla.

"Don't I tell you? If I just want to follow my students?" said Jean, tilting her head slightly.

"Who is your disciple? I didn't expect you to have students and I didn't know you were interested in being someone's teacher anyway" Charla said.

"Calm down, if teaching him is my business" Jean said.

"What's his name?" asked Charla.

"Hanno" Jean replied.

"Hanno's? What's the surname?" asked Charla.

"I don't know, after all, I'm not sure he has a surname.." Jean said.

"I think" Jean said.

"Sister is strange as usual" said Charla who then lowered one leg, "after all how would you recruit him as a student? What's so great that big brother made him a student?"

When Charla is confused, Jean smiles wider than usual.

"Sufuku..You'll know when you see him" Jean smiled.

.

The capital had been bustling back with ordinary people strolling the streets while merchants were selling their wares back to the capital.

The sound of market trading has been re-sounding.

While the number of soldiers of the city of the Garius family who were in the capital increased.

From just 6,000 to 17,000.

The burnt-out buildings were rebuilt by porters and workers.

"I remember a few weeks ago this town not even a peasant was walking the streets" said Kalavvar who hid himself in a faded brown robe, "now look at the ordinary folk who have started to make dirt on the streets."

"Toran Garius seems to have done a good job" said the knight Scerl also went with Kalavvar wearing a faded brown robe with his sword put on his waist wrapped in cloth.

"It's natural, son, Toran has been an expert in governing for decades, even before your mother was good at opening her crotch" Kalavvar said, drinking a glass of wine placed in her skin, "I remember how Victa became truly prosperous about 31 years ago under her reign."

"Sir.." said his servant Tedrick behind the back who also followed the two of them doubtfully.

"What is Tedrick?" Kalavvar replied.

"That's the last glass of wine sir" Tedrick said.

"Huh?" said Kalavvar who then checked his leather glass and checked the few remaining drops of wine, "fuck, why don't you bring more Tedrick?" Kalavvar said.

"Already sir, let's go back to the Basileus family hall there safer" said the knight Scerl.

"Come on! You're a knight! Where is the thrill of your adventure" Kalavvar said.

"But sir, in the street you are not safe" Scerl assured Kalavvar.

It was Kalavvar who convinced the two of them to come with him.

Scerl had resigned and given up on convincing Kalavvar not to come out, so he chose to follow him as long as Kalavvar came out.

Tedrick was forced by Kalavvar.

"You should remember how you were wounded with your sword by a hitman a few months ago" Scerl said.

"Just calm, son, with yourself here, I won't be easily hurt" Kalavvar said.

"At that time you have 3 soldiers near you, I can not guarantee that you are safe at this time" ' objected Scerl.

"2 soldiers and 1 servant boy" Kalavvar said.

"Yes sir but still I can't guarantee your safety" Scerl said.

"Come on Scerl" Kalavvar said as he held Scerl's shoulder, "you're famous for your strength and beauty, Tedrick and I wouldn't have been so easy to die by a murderer if you were near us" ,kalavvar said as he immediately released his shoulder grip on Scerl and moved away.

Scerl then walked up to Kalavvar and tried to keep him convinced.

"But sir

Then it looks like ordinary people are moving away from the streets and soldiers are marching.

This made Scerl stop talking.

Tedrick and Kalavvar stopped walking and joined the common people in seeing the sights they saw.

The sound of horses and carriages was heard.

"Surge! Move over!"

Soldiers were also heard to get rid of ordinary people in order to get out of the way to let something pass.

Then the owl flag of the Garius family flew in.

Closed trains were seen approaching with several troops of the Garius family marching to guard the covered carriage.

"Garius? Which Garius is coming? Wasn't Toran Garius already in this town? Or is that creepy grandpa out hunting out of town?" Kalavvar wondered.

"That's the young master of the Garius family, or the 'big owl' people call him" Scerl said.

"Hehehehe, you're a fool to call him a big owl" Kalavvar laughed

Seen fat people out of the closed carriage and stretch his body.

He was fat enough that the closed carriage door was more widely designed than a normally closed carriage.

It is what people call Vesius the great ghost or fat bird some people insult him.

One of the last 2 members of the Garius family besides the fearsome Toran.

The last young man had the blood of the king Victa in his blood.

Garius had the blood of the last Victa king but the blood of the king did not prevent them from cooperating with other families to overthrow the king and establish the Victa Republic.

While a gloomy old knight followed from behind with his silver armour that looked quite dirty and full of weapon scratches.

No doubt he's a farm boy who rose to become a loyal Knight of the Garius family.

Wale.

"Is it Vesius Garius who people call the great Owl?" said Tedrick nervously.

"What's? You mean the fat one?" said Kalavvar.

"That's not what I mean sir but the one behind him sir" Tedrick said.

"Huh? If the gloomy old knight is called Wale, the loyal peasant knight belonging to the family of Garius if the one in front of it is a large owl" Kalavvar replied Tedrick in surprise.

Kalavvar had met him while fighting Tyronia at the army camp. They also had a chat about battle strategy together, both of them defeated Tyronia's forces in Vuruda.

Kalavvar quite liked the intelligence of Vesius in strategy.

"O-the fat guy is Vesius the big ghost? I heard he was gloomy and just as scary as his father Toran" Tedrick said in shock.

"So your mouth is Redrick, if one of the soldiers of Garius hears what you say and reports it to Toran Garius then maybe you'll lose your tongue the night you sleep" ,scerl looked at Redrick with a sharp look.

"Well! I-I'm sorry sir" Tedrick said.

"It's just a rumor son, I've been insulting his family since I was young but my tongue is still not cut" Kalavvar said.

.

.

"Thank you for your service to bring us here Taivarr" Vesius said, thanking the man riding the horse in front of him.

"There's no need to thank you sir, your father made stability for this country, I should've driven you safely" ,said an elderly man with facial wrinkles who had begun to look around in his 50s, "after all I want to visit the capital when it is safe and return to visit the senate meeting" he said.

Taivarr Bluebearr, a politician and senator in alliance with Vesius' father.

He had accompanied Vesius' father for decades in the senate and had helped Vesius' father's strength remain strong despite Vesius' father's exile in the north against the Dwarves.

Taivarr was a great politician, who even the fearsome father of Vesius the Toran never seemed to scold him even.

Taivarr was one of the people that Vesius appreciated the advice of a veteran politician and had a sharper political mind than anywhere in Victa except Vespasian.

"I hope you don't repeat the same mistake, I don't want him re-exiled by the senate to the north against the Dwarves" Vesius said.

"I know it's young master, a lot of chaos that happens in his absence" Taivarr said.

"All right.." - Vesius paused for a moment, "let me see my beloved father."

Vesius said then he walked with dozens of veteran soldiers who had accompanied him for years behind guarding him as a bodyguard.

The Ghost Bird Sigil fluttered proudly.

The sword adorns the people below.
