Chapter 20: Dreams of the Moonlight at a Glance (6)

Lorist used to think that his relationship would last forever and stay happy and passionate for a long time. At that moment, she happily moved out of the student dormitory in the academy to live with her lover, Wenna.

Because he was disliked by many Silver ranked instructors of the academy for being appointed as a swordsmanship instructor when here only at the Iron rank, he had stayed in the student dormitory rather than the instructor dormitory to avoid unnecessary conflict.

When did their relationship begin to change? Was it because the War Forces training was hampered? Or from the time when she called him show-off when she wanted him to design two exclusive evening dresses for her to wear to parties? Since then, he moved to a luxurious residence located behind the boutique he used as the headquarters of Windsor Trading Company. From that day onward, he would continue to stay and host many parties there, making it a rather famous gathering place for the rich and powerful of Morante City.

On the day before he moved, he lied lazily in his arms and expressed the hope he had for her. He hoped that Lorist would quickly break through to the Silver rank and become the proper knight of the Windsor mansion so that he could be sent to support the resistance back in the old power.

Currently the resistance was already firmly rooted in the territory and it caused the new ruler tons of trouble with the cost of repairing the damage greatly exceeding the amount of taxes and income collected. Having no choice but to blackmail the commoners for more funds, the rebel groups formed by the oppressed mushroomed and further exacerbated the already dire situation.

A report from Knight Somm has stated that the resistance has decided to take direct action against the ruler and is preparing to attack the households of these rulers in an attempt to deal some lasting damage on the ruler's grip on power.

Miss Wenna hoped that Lorist would break through the Silver rank soon and help in reclaiming Windsor's power as a Windsor knight so that he could more firmly establish his position as a family benefactor and he would not have to bear the responsibility answer that. ashamed to marry the little Iron Swordsman. After that, then, he could let Lorist manage the affairs of power in place of his brother who had yet to inherit the title of head of the family while he would be in charge of the boutiques and trading company to further increase Windsor's home income. He believed that Windsor's house would be more prosperous than ever.

Lorist really wanted to promise the beauty in his arms that he would do as he was asked. But deep down, his arrogance and stubbornness made him refrain from it. . An apparition of a powerful noble holding a two-handed greatsword seemed to have materialized in his mind and declared proudly that Lorist would not swear allegiance to anyone other than Emperor Krissen and the Norton family.

The stubborn insistence and noble arrogance engraved deep within his soul were the remains of the original owner of the body. Lorist understood that being a Windsor knight meant bearing the burden of defending the Windsor house for the rest of his life and bowing to the mermaid badge.

Seeing the hesitant expression of her lover, she gently stroked his face and softly said, "Locke, aren't you doing this for the sake of the two of us? When your Battle Power finally broke through the Silver rank, nothing could stop us from being together .. ”

That's right, there's still a problem with my Battle Force, Lorist thought to himself cynically. He could not bear to tell his lover that he had practiced the Aquametal Technique that he inherited from his past life all the way to the peak of the Bright level. This was something that he would never tell anyone, including this girl whom he deeply cherished. Perhaps as a side effect of training in it, his hexagram circulation path was no longer able to withstand even the slightest bit of Battle Force within it and he might never be able to break through Iron rank in the future.

He could tell Wenna that he was the Gold double-ranked instructor in the academy, or that he could easily defeat all Silver rank instructors and easily complete missions even silver peak rank instructors could not complete, but was it any good? He did not understand the implications of any of those achievements and only knew about the traditions and customs of the nobles. Only when one became the Swordsman of the Silver Sword could one be entrusted with the hope and responsibility of fighting for the family's glory.

With the exception of certain special cases, most noble families would not allow descendants who were unable to awaken their Battle Strength or reach the minimum level of strength in their War Forces training to inherit the title of family head. Wenna thought that Lorist was the one who did not distinguish himself from his Battle Force training, but rather his intelligence and intelligence. That was why he preferred that Lorist not wake up the Battle Squad at all so he wouldn't have to wear an ugly black iron badge all over the place. Whenever Lorist wasn't in the academy or the mercenary guild, he would insist that he didn't wear his Battle Force badge so he would avoid embarrassment.

Hoping that he would understand it, Lorist had tried to convince him to ignore things like about his face and public appearance and told him that it would be fine as long as they didn't work out for each other. From his point of view, the reputation of the family is very important and should not be allowed to damage it. He couldn't stand his family's tarnished reputation in the slightest. Wenna wanted to be able to show herself in front of her friends with Lorist without him being ridiculed for his rank as the Iron Swordsman.

The same thing happened two years earlier, after Mrs Windsor gave birth to a child whose father was unknown. Soon after delivery, Wenna called for someone to give to her son to a local farmer in an attempt to cover up the embarrassing affair. Having never seen her newborn child, Madam Windsor eventually becomes depressed and is pushed to the edge of her sanity. It was only when Lorist arranged the meeting between the mother and child out of pity that Madam Windsor's state of mind returned to normal.

Shaking his head lightly, Lorist told Wenna that he was willing to do anything for her. He had even considered going to power to provide support to Knight Somm and Knight Hurd in the fight against the ruler's ruler. But with him having trained in the techniques of his family's hereditary War Forces, he was unable to use any other techniques to break through to the Silver rank.

Besides, the, he also mentioned that he could not accept to serve as a knight under Windsor's house because he still had to heed calls from his family should such a time arise even though he was an exile. However, that was more of an excuse for Lorist. Being a wanderer of her dimension, she naturally valued boundless freedom and was unable to accept the vow of binding devotion that a knight possessed. As Charade had once said, Lorist dreamed of spending the rest of his life happily in Morante City after settling there with Wenna.

After hearing Lorist's reply, the girl stood up without a word, dressed herself and headed to the door. Before leaving, he said, “Lorist, you know very well that you don't really love me. You are like any other man who talks about how much they love me but in reality, you only care about yourself .. ”

While lying on the bed, stunned, Lorist asked himself if he really felt true love for Wenna. Of course I know, you are the only one I have ever loved in my current and past life. After being forced into marriage by his father in his previous life, he did not really feel the slightest bit of true yearning for his wife. While he appreciated the boys that were with him, they just spent their days quietly. It was only after she crossed over did she discover that the love and romance she often read about in novels was real, having experienced a burning passion and willingness to devote herself to Wenna. Feeling the intense connection from the heart, the heart-shaking whispers of her lover as well as her dazzling gaze, he came to understand that loving someone meant holding someone else in the most important place in one's heart and only having eyes for someone.

Since when did his relationship become one-sided with only him giving everything for both of their futures? Did his initial goal and determination change because of that? Isn't love about mutual tolerance and acceptance? Was Lorist a selfish person for having his own doubts about devoting himself to the Windsor house? Or is it Wenna who has changed over the course of time? Sigh, I won't get an answer no matter how much I think about this. It's best to wait for the two of us to calm down before we talk about it with each other.

What Lorist did not expect was that from that night, Lorist could not meet Wenna in person anymore; even the design collections for the dresses were handled by Suzy almost the entire time. Every time he went to the headquarters of the trading company, he was given a cold responsibility by Wenna who often referred to her work with her work as an excuse. Initially, Lorist thought that Wenna was just making a childish gesture, until he saw her together with a middle-aged noble in the merchant company garden, chatting happily and teasingly.

The only thing Lorist had in mind at that moment was the cold and smiling expression on his pale face as he hid behind the noble. The noble man spread his hands to protect her and asked carefully, "Master, what happened?"

Looking at the girl hiding behind him and returning to Lorist, the man's expression turned grim as he said, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Without a word, Lorist only pointed one finger at Wenna.

His expression fluctuated for a moment before he stopped hiding behind the man, and spoke. "Locke, I'm so disappointed in you. You have your own goals and you never intended to sacrifice them for me. Even though you have indeed been a great help to me and my family, after much consideration, I still think that we are no match for each other. For the future of the Windsor house, I have no choice but to part with you. I know you are a good person and hope we can still remain friends. ”

Does this feel betrayed? thought Lorist with his already messed up heart.

She never expected to be friends in her first romantic relationship in another world. That suffocating feeling made him want to be sprawled on the ground to recover his breath. However, his pride prevented him from doing so and he turned around and left, staggered.

Everything that happened after that ran away. He didn't even know how he could return home. He only remembered seeing Lina's shocked expression after witnessing her miserable and chaotic state.

She wakes up sleepily in bed the next day, after which Lina tells her that she has a guest. It was the noble who was with Wenna yesterday.

He spoke in a gentle and calm tone and told Lorist that he had heard all about the situation. While she expressed her sympathy for Lorist's suffering, she said that she would not give up on Wenna because she truly loved him and deeply apologized. Now that he had broken up with Wenna, Lorist did not mind the man's courtship of Wenna, but he also did not offer them any blessings. The man also mentioned that it was very inappropriate for Lorist to continue living in Wenna's house and asked if he could do anything to reimburse Lorist for having to ask her to move.

Lorist recorded a golden badge depicting a fiery bird that signified the man's prowess as a Gold-ranked warrior with the fire attribute of Battle Force. He did not expect the polite and courteous man to be an expert, given his attitude.

Shaking his head and rejecting the man's offer, Lorist thanked him and also said that he would move even if no one told him to. The nobleman left after he exchanged some more nonsense with Lorist.

Casually packing a few clothes, he left his residence for the past three years for good. Inside were many memories of his smile, the vows they shared, the laughter and happiness they experienced, the arguments they had as well as his cold and cold betrayal.

He returned to the Red Grace Inn and obtained a room there before asking his good friend Els to get a background check on the middle-aged noble. Els brought him a report rather quickly. The man was named Lorf Fustat, a 38-year-old Gold Star ranker who was a marquis of the Jigda Kingdom who was highly valued by the royal family. He came from a long line of prominent military commanders with his father being the captain of the royal guard as well as a cousin of the king of Jigda.

After being sent to Morante City on a mission to exchange the gold and silver reserves of the Jigda Kingdom for the currency of the Forde Trade Union, Marquis Lorf became acquainted with the hostess of Windsor on a shopping trip with his wife. Being from the same kingdom, they had many similarities and get along well. He had been in earnest courting Wenna for half a year after the completion of his mission.

"Did his current wife not know about that?" Ask Lorist.

“Of course,” says Els, “He also seems to be somewhat supporting it. Apparently she was also a good friend of Miss Wenna who could share all the secrets together. ”

Good Sol, that woman does have some problems.

Shaking his head, Els said, "Forget it, brother. I have seen many things like that. When men's feelings change, the woman suffers, but there is still a chance for them to get back together. But when a woman's heart is swayed, there is almost no way for their relationship to succeed again. Besides, how can you rival someone like him? From her family background to her wealth and strength, she beats you in almost every aspect. Having a lot of strong contacts and becoming a Golden One Star expert at the age of 38, it was almost given that his future would be bright. No wonder your lover has stolen his heart.

"Let me tell you something you might not want to hear. The man is not like your average greedy young noble who will ambush or challenge you to a duel after finding out that you are a young former mistress. To him, you're just a kid who doesn't even deserve his attention. Even if you challenge him, he will only dry you out without breaking a sweat given the difference in the strength of the War Force, ”Els warned solemnly.

Lorist just silently heard Els' warning. Three days later, he joined the expedition of the academy to the Relic Islands in the hope that half a year later, things here would change. In the end, it remains the same.
