Regression Life Starting With Two Traits

Chapter 099 Nobles Gathered at the Banquet

“Archmage Penzaric and his guests enter!”

With the shout of the gatekeeper, the door of the banquet hall opened wide.

All eyes were on us.

There were also people whispering about the appearance of a new face.

“Your eyes are focused properly.”

When I whispered, Penzarik chuckled.

“I’m probably going to be baptized with a few questions today. You will be introduced as my disciple.”

“It will work just as you wished.”

“But be careful, the capital city nobles are not normal.”

Penzaric walked to our seats, warning of the nobles.

It was on the left, close to the throne.

“Penzarik, I heard you have a new apprentice, so it seems to be true.”

Then, a person approached us.

A sword was attached to his waist as he was wearing clothes that would allow him to move easily.

And the moment I saw his face, I was happy to say hello.

“Master Charley.”

“You know me? And a master?”

“This is me, Yoo Seo-jun.”

When I said my name, he looked at me and Penzarik with a surprised look on his face.

“really?”

“Yes, really.”

“Uh, how? There is another world… … .”

After speaking, Charleigh looked around and whispered softly.

“How did you get over it?”

“I came through the gate.”

“Huh, I never thought we’d meet like this.”

“I am also pleased to meet you.”

When I said this with a smile, Charleigh spoke to Penzaric with a dejected smile.

“Could you give me a word in advance?”

“I did it because I wanted to see your surprised face.”

“No, then how are you going to introduce it to His Majesty?”

“Didn’t you tell me at first? I heard rumors about my pupil.”

“no way.”

“Yes, I am about to introduce you to His Majesty as my disciple. There is also a record of lifting the land in front of the castle gate a few days ago.”

“Was that you?”

“Yes, by chance.”

When I answered, Charleigh shook her head and said.

“Because of that rumor, the nobles are all curious. Because I am close to you Penzarick, he bothered me.”

“I guess so, they’re already starting to come in.”

“Your Majesty will come soon. Today I have to protect His Majesty’s safety, so I won’t be able to help you guys.”

“Don’t worry about that. And is there something you talked about recently? That is today.”

“Really?”

Penzaric had told Charleigh about our operation.

If I didn’t do that, I might have to deal with the Sword Master’s sword.

Charleigh looked at Minyoung and Ariel next to me and nodded.

“Okay. Then, see you later.”

After Charleigh returned to her seat, nobles flocked to her.

I don’t know the faces of the nobles on the list, but I remember their names.

So while they greeted Penzarik, we listened carefully to the name.

“Meet the Archmage.”

“Are you here too?”

“It’s Your Majesty’s banquet, how could I miss it? I have to do my duty as an aristocrat of the empire.”

Unlike the nobles who just said hello and looked sideways at us, he had a conversation with Penzaric.

The plump, short aristocrat then looked at us and bowed his head.

“Welcome to the guests of the Archmage. I am Baron bin Salar.”

“This is Yoo Seo-jun.”

Baron bin Salar.

He was one of the nobles on the list.

It was said that he was one of the protagonists of the unification war as a lord after receiving a small estate in the western region.

I thought of a strong body because he was a war hero, but his body seemed to roll well.

“I wish you a pleasant banquet.”

Saying that while shaking hands, Min-young frowned as Baron Bin Salar left.

“how is it?”

When I asked, Minyoung shook her head.

“I feel bad, but I don’t feel Margie.”

“Then, let’s wait a little longer. But, Penzaric, is he really the protagonist of the war?”

“why? Doesn’t your body look like it’s not suitable for war?”

“It may be prejudice, but I can’t help but be suspicious because I fought in the front line.”

“The author was awarded the title not for his achievements in battle, but for his achievements in rear support. That’s why he’s a baron.”

“Are you a merchant?”

“Yes, the Salar family is a family that was originally a famous western destination. Count Gordon is coming too.”

We looked forward at Penzaric’s murmur.

Not too long ago, Earl Gordon, who was trying to make a deal with a slave trader, was tall and had a strong physique.

“Great Mage, long time no see.”

“Hmph, the bat guy is good at sticking his face in.”

“It’s not a bat. I’m sorry. Even if the people of my past cursed at me, the Archmage shouldn’t do that.”

Gordon’s voice, which I thought would be profound, was surprisingly thin and high-pitched.

“be not interested in. I will always watch over you.”

“Do not worry. I have no intention of causing trouble.”

“I hear they are trading with slave traders these days?”

“Are you really spying on me?”

“I don’t know what you mean, but slavery was abolished after unification. Don’t be proud of obvious illegal acts.”

“Although I received the stigma of selling my country and becoming a noble, my loyalty to the Empire is sincere. Slaves were being bought and given freedom.”

Are you going to get out of here?

The more we doubt here, the more Gordon will begin to doubt us.

Penzaric knew that too, so he frowned.

“I admit to one lip movement. See how far you can live with those mouth movements.”

“Thank you for your interest. then.”

After saying that, Gordon bowed his head to us briefly and left.

“Dark.”

Those were the first words Min-young uttered after Gordon left.

“what? Margie?”

“Yes, thick demonic energy is leaking out. It makes me feel bad.”

“Well, Gordon seems certain. We’ll have to see if we signed a contract or if the demons are playing him.”

Saying that, Penzaric glared at Gordon’s back as he walked away.

“The Pope enters!”

Then, with the cry of the gatekeeper, the door opened.

Upon entering, the pope showed a benevolent smile.

He was holding a long metal scepter.

On her head, she was wearing a long hat with the symbol of the Solar Church engraved on it.

Every time the pope passed, the nobles bowed their heads and bowed.

The pope was seated in a chair to the right of the throne.

As he sat down, the gatekeeper shouted in the loudest voice he had ever heard.

“His Majesty the Emperor of the Cetric Empire is entering!”

The emperor appeared through the open door.

The emperor had a large body, reminiscent of a bear.

He was an old man with a gray beard and white hair, but the intimidation he felt from him was enough to lower his head.

Next to him was the empress, who showed off her beautiful figure.

Following the two were the two princes and their wives, who were stout blond young men, and lastly a cute-looking blonde girl.

“The princess has grown a lot, she has already become a young lady.”

Penzarik, who was watching them, spoke in a low voice.

The blonde girl following at the back seemed to be the princess.

The emperor’s family sat down in their seats and the doorkeeper closed the door while the emperor talked with the pope.

“Kuhm! Your Majesty the Eminent Emperor Cetric, we inform you that all the guests invited to today’s banquet have arrived!”

Then the Emperor, who had spoken with the Pope, stood up and said:

I thought it would be solemn, but the emperor’s voice was surprisingly ordinary.

“Good work, today we have prepared a place to congratulate you for enduring well during the Red Moon period. You who protected the territory of the empire well are the heroes of the empire. Everyone raise your glass.”

When everyone raised their glasses at the emperor’s command, the emperor raised his glasses and shouted.

“The glory of the empire! For Solar’s justice!”

The emperor’s booming voice contrasted with his aged appearance.

“You are well.”

When I asked Penzarick, Penzarick sighed and laughed.

“Your Majesty still has enough stamina to go out on the battlefield and face the enemy. I didn’t become the emperor of a unified empire for nothing.”

After the toast, the nobles lined up to greet the emperor.

Penzarik and us were the last to go.

When it was our turn, Penzarik walked proudly through the center of the banquet hall to the emperor.

We followed Penzarik like that.

“Penzaric, the owner of the Mage Tower, is having an audience with the emperor.”

“Raise your head, my old friend. And the guests of my close friends are welcome.”

“Thank you for the welcome.”

With Penzaric’s greeting, we slowly raised our heads.

“Is it because of Red Moon’s influence that a close friend who always went alone accompanied the guests?”

“Did you feel a lot of abscess?”

“It’s both surprising and delightful, so introduce it to Jim.”

Penzaric was really friendly with the emperor, exchanging jokes with each other.

said Penzarik, looking at us.

“Greetings.”

I stepped forward and greeted them according to the etiquette.

“I am Seojun Yu, a disciple of Archmage Penzaric. It is an honor to meet the Emperor.”

“This is Ariel from the Winter Forest.”

“This is Jaime Petra. It is an honor to meet the Emperor.”

Jamie Petra was Minyoung’s pseudonym given to her by Penjaric.

Petra was Penzaric’s surname, and he intended to dress it as a distant relative of his.

“Petra? Penzarik, has there ever been such a beautiful girl in your family?”

“A distant relative. Not long ago, I came to see the capital and I took it with me.”

“I’ve known you for quite some time, but there are still many things I don’t know about your family.”

“I apologize.”

“It’s even necessary to apologize. And did you say Ariel?”

“yes.”

“We borrow this seat today to apologize for our foolishness. Please accept our sincerity.”

The emperor gestured as he spoke.

Then one of the guards came with a long thing wrapped in red cloth.

When Ariel accepted it, the Emperor said.

“I was thinking about what to give as a means of reconciliation, but I found it in the imperial treasury. I thought it would be meaningful to you.”

“Can I take a look?”

When Ariel asked, the emperor nodded in agreement.

As Ariel removed the cloth, a rapier was revealed.

“This!”

Ariel was surprised and raised her rapier.

The whole white rapier had only the handle decorated with gold.

“Are these yours?”

“I have found a valuable treasure. We will deliver it safely.”

Ariel bowed as she wrapped the rapier back in the cloth.

As we retreated, the emperor got up and smacked the glass with a small spoon.

The sound of the glass ringing drew everyone’s attention to the emperor.

“Since the greetings are over, shouldn’t we satisfy our hunger? Bring in the food!”

With the emperor’s order, food began to be served.

Various foods were lined up on the long table, and empty drinking glasses were refilled.

“Ariel, what was that sword from earlier that surprised you so much?”

When I asked what I was curious about while looking at the nobles, Ariel hugged the rapier from earlier and said.

“It is a sword that comes down to the elven royalty. It’s a sword I lost in the Great War, but I didn’t expect the Empire to have it.”

While living in the capital, I became close with Ariel, and Ariel spoke comfortably with us.

“So, is it the treasure of the royal family?”

“Yes, the blade is made of white silver, and the ornament on the handle is crafted from the bark of a golden tree.”

“A tree?”

“It is a large, golden tree that only elves can grow. It takes hundreds of years to fully grow, but a fully grown golden tree is harder than steel.”

“It’s also a good material for mages, because golden wood goes well with mana, so it’s great for enchanting.”

Penzarik, who had been listening to our story, explained further.

“If we deliver this sword well to the forest, we elves will gain the strength to stand up again. Because it is a sword that has such a symbolism.”

Ariel cherished the cloth-encased sword as if she would never let go of it.

“Penzaric, looking at the nobles greeting you earlier, it seems that Count Gorgonzola is also here. Where did he go?”

I could clearly hear the name he shouted while greeting the emperor, but I couldn’t see his appearance properly because of the distance.

At my question, Penzarik pointed to a middle-aged man in the corner.

“He’s sitting over there.”

Count Gorgonzola was eating with a plate full of food.

There were knights beside him.

As the emperor said earlier, most of the nobles gathered at the banquet hall today were lords in charge of each territory.

So, the lord’s knights were also with them.

However, unlike the usual one knight, Count Gorgonzola was accompanied by four knights.

“What are you afraid of?”

“I’ll have to find out about that now.”

“Then, let’s start now.”

Penzarik looked around at my suggestion and nodded.

“Just keep this in mind, everyone’s attention is on you”

“Yes, I will be careful.”

Access, but don’t let our identities or the information we’re trying to dig out.

It sounds like a pretty difficult mission, but it wasn’t an impossible one.

Feeling the eyes of the nobles, I headed towards Count Gorgon.
