Chapter 23 Yersin’s Little Abacus
After the wound on his head healed, he made an agreement with Mr. Holland to go to the Imperial Royal Mage Academy.
So before leaving, Brand arranged for Catherine to learn knight skills.
A few months have passed and Catherine has now reached a very good level.
However, looking at Catherine's current heavy armor, Brand felt that it would be better to change Catherine's position from maid to bodyguard another day.
After all, when it comes to maids, soft girls are always better.
Moreover, after returning home, Brand can go back to the leisurely and lazy days of the past.
As a person with a bright future, Catherine has to work hard on knight training on weekdays, and she doesn't have much time to accompany him around as a maid.
Catherine, who was still unaware that she was about to change her career, ran over excitedly after seeing Brand.
Catherine has always had a great impression of Brand, the owner of the family who has a series of labels such as "kind young master", "savior", "elegant nobleman", etc.
Because they hadn't seen each other for several months, Catherine was very excited at this time.
Brand is relatively calm here.
He is considering which maid in the family can take Catherine's place.
"Master, the carriage is ready, and the caravan has gathered at the south gate. This time the group is led by Master Yersen and Captain Anderson."
Run to Bran Although Brand was a little confused when he saw Brand empty-handed.
However, Catherine dutifully explained the situation to Brand.
“Let’s go.”
After rubbing Catherine who took off her helmet and stretched out her head obediently, Brand walked towards the carriage with his hands behind his back.
……
“Brand! I haven’t seen you for a long time!”
"Yersen! Do you want to strangle me?"
Yersen, who was tall and a whole head taller than Brand at the south gate of the imperial capital, gave Brand a smile. Here comes a bear hug.
Obviously it was a touching scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other, but Brand regretfully said that he could not bear Yersen’s iron armor.
In the past, Yersin would not have been so kind to Brand.
After all, in the past, Brand would only bring shame to the Holland family.
But things are different now.
Brand’s reputation as a mage genius has spread to a small extent.
A few days ago, Viscount Holland received a letter about Brand from a friend in the imperial capital.
After seeing the contents of the letter, Viscount Holland was shocked.
Although at first, it was hard for Viscount Holland to believe that the words "super genius", "once-in-a-century", and "tutor robbing" in the letter were used to describe his uneducated second son. .
However, after multiple confirmations, he confirmed that the news was true.
——Brand has a future now.
After hearing the news, Mr. Holland was in a very happy mood, but as the head of the family, he still evaluated the matter rationally.
The final conclusion is that the escort force to escort Brand home needs to be improved.
Originally Mr. Holland’s arrangement was for Brand to return with the family caravan.
The family's caravan is equipped with two intermediate knights and dozens of junior knights as main guards.
From the past situation, this is more than enough.
After all, due to the imperial noble parliament system, even if other nobles really want to harm Brand, they will not do it themselves.
At best, the task is secretly released.
With the strength of the caravan guard, it is more than enough to protect Brand.
But now, Mr. Holland is keenly aware that the power of the guards needs to be improved.
Because compared to the past, Brand's "value" has obviously increased a lot.
Under such consideration, Mr. Holland waved his hand and sent out the second master of the family, the family guard chief Anderson, who had reached the top of the senior knight.
At the same time, Yersen, who was practicing hard at home every day, volunteered to follow after learning that his younger brother had brought unprecedented glory to the family.
In addition to expressing his "approval" to Brand, he also had a "little matter" that he wanted to discuss with Brand. Yersin accidentally heard not long ago that Mr. Holland had the intention to let Brand marry the legitimate daughter of the Romine family.
After learning the news, Yersin felt that for the sake of sacred love, it was necessary for him to have a good relationship with Brand.
There are various signs that there are signs of marriage between the Holland family and the Romine family.
Before the specific marriage parties are determined.
As long as Brand expresses his "personal wishes" of not agreeing to marry the legitimate daughter of the Romine family.
And Yersin was able to show enough "excellent qualities" at the same time to be recognized by the Romine family.
Then he will have a chance to marry Ms. Romine!
Brand is quite clear about some of Yersin's ideas.
——It is already known to everyone that Yersen likes the legitimate daughter of the Romine family.
Although Brand only regards the Romine family's legitimate daughter as an ordinary friend, he is not prepared to develop a more intimate relationship.
However, Brand was not prepared to make any statement on this matter.
Yersin just has unrequited love, and the woman likes Brand.
Caught between the two of them, Brand's best choice is to remain silent.
After all, because of Brand’s existence, love triangles like this are simply too common!
Brand is not prepared to get himself into endless trouble!
So let them resolve this matter themselves!
After meeting everyone in the caravan, Brand lazily returned to his carriage.
Because he got up early today, Brand was going to sleep for a while.
However, Brand, who was about to lie down and close his eyes, keenly felt a gaze shining directly on his face.
Because Brand’s mental strength is much higher than that of ordinary people, he can be very keenly aware of other people’s gazes.
With a slight turn of his head, Brand discovered the source of that gaze - Catherine.
Look at Catherine's expression of hesitation.
Brand said helplessly: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it. How can we start talking about mother-in-law and mother-in-law after not seeing each other for several months?"
After hearing Brand's complaint, Catherine began to whisper about the recent comparisons she made. A troublesome question.
——The size of the armor is a bit too small.
Because Catherine has been assigned to Brand, her daily expenses are also independently borne by Brand.
Catherine's equipment was specially purchased by Brand before he came to school.
But Brand was a little puzzled by Catherine's troubles.
“Wouldn’t it be better to go directly to the blacksmith to change the size?”
In fact, in order to ensure that Catherine can successfully train as a knight.
One-tenth of Brand's monthly expenses are sent directly to Catherine.
So for changing the size of the armor, Catherine could go directly to the blacksmith with the magic gold coins.
But I heard Catherine whisper:
"In the past few months, I have contacted Sister Tongchui who leads the iron shop many times. Not long ago, Sister Tongchui asked me to tell you, At my current growth rate, it won’t be long before even if her skills are superb, this armor will be inappropriate.”
Hearing what Catherine said, Brand became a little curious.
"Take off your shoes, let's compare heights."
Katherine took off her metal boots obediently, stood up, and straightened her back.
Brand also stood up.
The two of them are about the same age, and they are both growing up.
After comparing this, Brand was surprised to find that Catherine, who was slightly shorter than him a few months ago, was now slightly taller than him.
You must know that Brand has also grown in height in the past few months.
“Is it a side effect of blood?”
Brand is not sure.
