403fury. Side Story: Lord Asrahan's Wish
“so! I! that! I told him to bring it, he didn't.!”
Kwachang!
the candlestick flew away.
The buffalo horn decoration on the wall of the bar was smashed..
……It's starting again.
That fool with no answer.
A person who lives only in alcoholism every day.
I thought I would just calmly move on today..
‘How long are you going to keep acting like that, Lloyd?.’
I let out a deep sigh..
This is why I told that idiot not to drink alcohol..
I even bitterly said that it would be nice if it were just one day so I could pass by peacefully..
‘It was no use.’
Yes.
Lloyd Frontera.
It was my fault for letting that person set foot in this bar..
I won't drink alcohol.
I'm just going to have snacks for dinner..
If you're going to stop that, then get rid of escort missions..
It was only a couple of hours ago that you were stubbornly stubborn..
‘I should have stopped you then.’
But I couldn't do it.
It's my fault, it's a mistake.
No, if you want to consider real mistakes…….
‘Perhaps it was a mistake to receive the master's order at that time?.’
Suddenly, something from a few days ago came to mind..
Did my lord, Baron Frontera, call me?.
With a face full of worry, did you say that you would entrust your eldest son with the protection?.
I nodded obediently at those words..
It was natural.
Because the Baron is my lord..
Because you are the one I will cherish for the rest of my life..
Because he is a very respectable person..
But his eldest son, Lloyd Frontera,…….
‘Why on earth do we live like that? If I were to imitate even one hundredth of my master’s generosity, I would never do that..’
While holding on to bitter thoughts.
A glass of wine flew as if to destroy those thoughts..
Of course, it was Lloyd Frontera's drink..
“hey! Take this!”
“…….”
chin!
Of course, it's so easy to hold a glass like this..
Because I see and feel everything.
Even when I close my eyes, I can feel the air flow.
Swordmaster syndrome, in which all senses in the body are overly activated.
Because that awful phenomenon is tormenting me 24 hours a day..
“Sir Asrahan? please…….”
The bar owner called me with a pleading look on his face..
It's not that it wasn't, the tavern was already in shambles..
Table knocked over by Lloyd Frontera.
The chair that Lloyd Frontera stepped on and destroyed.
A bottle and plate broken by Lloyd Frontera.
And so on and so forth..
Even at this moment.
That bastard was enjoying his own abuse of power by throwing, hitting, and breaking everything he could get his hands on..
“…….”
It won't work either..
Today's escort mission ends here..
In the end, I decided to cross the line.
I walked towards Lloyd Frontera..
I caught his wrist as he was about to hit another bottle of alcohol..
“Lloyd. Please stop.”
“……uh?”
“Please stop. You've had enough already..”
“What is this??”
“Lloyd.”
To be honest.
I want to punch him in the face.
With a drunken look in your eyes,.
I can't even control my body and I'm staggering around..
Even the smell of alcohol wafts in every time I answer..
It was contemptible..
It was sad at the same time.
I said, trying hard to hide my feelings..
“You can't do this. Lloyd, you need to realize your position and responsibility..”
“location? It's a book?”
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“under. You're laughing.”
Lloyd Frontera looked at me with half-opened eyes..
Then he pushed my chin with his finger, as if he was pointing a finger..
“hey. Who are you, meddling, huh??”
“…….”
“If you are an escort driver, act like one..”
“But Lloyd.”
“Write it. Where did you get so rude.”
“…….”
“hey. don't you pity me?”
“…….”
“I'm so fucking pathetic, right? huh? Why were you born in such a rural corner? It's embarrassing to go anywhere and show off that I'm a noble. huh? Isn't that so??”
“Not at all.”
“What?”
“You're just talking about luck..”
“Haha. What are you talking about, you bastard?.”
Wow!
My cheeks got hot..
Of course, I could clearly see Lloyd Frontera's hand flying..
But I didn't avoid it on purpose..
Because it doesn't hurt.
Because it's just ridiculous.
Was it because of my reaction?.
“……uh.”
As if I didn't know it would be right.
Lloyd Frontera looked confused..
But that expression lasts only a moment.
“Ah, the taste of alcohol declines..”
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
I blew on the bottle with the liquor bottle I was holding..
That's a very strong drink..
I observed Lloyd Frontera's expression, complexion, and breathing with mixed feelings..
and waited.
It wasn't a vain wait.
“……Ugh! Damn it. It sucks. huh? Hi! Nimiral, there are a lot of things I want to do... … To… … Money at home... … There's not a single thing in it... … Whoop! uh?”
Lloyd Frontera's tongue was noticeably twisted..
My eyes became more dizzy and I couldn't control my body well..
‘done.’
That man was properly drunk..
What happens from now on, you won't even remember when you wake up tomorrow..
Convinced, I glanced at the bar owner..
‘What happens from now on, keep it to yourself..’
The owner, who was hugging the broken buffalo horn decoration he had always cherished, nodded at my gaze..
Having received his promise of cooperation(?), I took action..
“Lloyd.”
“……Uh oh?”
The moment he reflexively looks back.
I lightly pumped my fist..
It was aimed at his abdomen..
“Kuok!”
Lloyd Frontera's whole body convulsed..
“Ooh, whoop, whoop…….”
Holding me with both hands and hanging on for a while.
Soon, I fell limp and lost consciousness..
The once noisy bar has become surprisingly quiet..
I felt a hint of freshness.
‘Should I have hit it right away?.’
But if this person remembers that, he'll be in trouble..
So I waited until I was completely drunk..
I only slightly punched the stomach on purpose..
If I do this, I won’t even know when I wake up tomorrow..
The pain in the spot where you got hit is indistinguishable from a hangover..
I picked up Lloyd Frontera, who had passed out..
And then I looked back at the tavern owner with the feeling that we had been rolling around on a battlefield together..
“Are you okay?”
“Phew, is there any way it would be okay?.”
“…….”
“My mother is already feeling unwell these days. How did this happen?…….”
The bar owner looked like he was about to cry..
Well, that's probably true..
A small village in this corner of the country.
This was the pub that had the best variety..
Around this time of year, it was also a place frequently used as a lodging by foreign hunters who came to get fur from the eastern mountain range..
But Lloyd Frontera caused such a ruckus..
From the owner's point of view, who has to wait a long time to welcome guests all season long, it would be nothing short of a catastrophe..
I said it with sincere regret..
“What happened today... … I will tell my lord..”
“You mean compensation??”
“yes.”
“However, from the rumors I heard, the Baron is also in a bad mood these days.…….”
“Let me tell you something first..”
“Phew, oh my, yeah. If you do, I would be grateful..”
“Yes, then that's enough. There was a lot of rudeness today too..”
I couldn't bear to keep seeing the bar owner..
He ran out of the bar with Lloyd Frontera on his back..
The night sky, already past midnight, greeted me..
The cold night dew of early spring was also there..
“……Phew.”
A deep sigh naturally flowed out..
I felt a little lost..
‘What does the future hold for the Frontera family?.’
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Why is this idiot the eldest son of the family?.
Are you planning to inherit the family after your lord?.
I didn't know anything and I didn't want to accept it..
‘It would have been better if Julien had been the first..’
If that were the case there would be no problem.
Because Julien is sincere.
Because you are smart, kind, and have the qualities to become a great lord..
‘But that won't be possible.’
I shook my head..
Julien cannot become the lord of the next generation..
Because it’s my second child.
I can't inherit this family..
Isn’t that why you went to study at the royal academy early on?.
‘The person who will inherit and lead this family... … There is only this person.’
That point was so daunting..
When that day comes.
How much of a mess this estate will become..
How ruined will this family to which one swore allegiance be?.
I didn't even dare to predict it.
“Phew.”
Once again, only sighs came out..
Feeling frustrated, I just stared at the starlight in the night sky..
Then there was a moment.
‘……uh?’
High up in the night sky.
A shooting star twinkled for a moment and then disappeared..
When I saw that, I suddenly remembered a story I once heard..
‘Did they say that if you make a wish when a shooting star falls, it will come true?.’
Honestly, that sounds childish..
This is something only a child would believe..
But now, strangely enough, I wanted to get my hopes up even on that nonsense..
It's probably because I feel so frustrated..
So I gave myself an indulgence, not an indulgence..
Waiting for the meteor to fall.
I stared at the night sky.
And finally it shines.
The moment a shooting star fell, I quickly repeated it to myself..
‘This person on my back…….’
shoo shoo…….
I always feel it.
The moment a shooting star falls is useless and too short..
Thanks to you, I couldn't say even half of the wish I tried to repeat..
‘……I hope you come to your senses and become a new person..’
The last part of my wish became nothing more than empty self-talk lingering in my mouth..
I had a bitter taste in my mouth..
Eating unconsciously.
I laughed.
“what am i doing now.”
Even when I thought about it myself, it was absurd..
At night, I was carrying a drunk man on my back..
It's like looking up at a shooting star in the sky alone and making a wish..
But it looks like he didn't pray for even that properly..
‘Let's go back quickly.’
I suppressed my pitiful feelings and quickened my pace..
Lloyd Frontera was on my back and muttered without even noticing..
“Whoa… … I'm tired of just working every day... … . Gosiwon is annoying…….”
“…….”
What on earth is this idiot talking about while drinking?.
“Tsk.”
Anyway, this is a person I don’t like..
I hurried my steps back to the mansion..
Lloyd was thrown onto the bed and laid down..
And I spent the night occupying a chair on one side of the bedroom..
Of course I couldn't sleep..
It was because of Sword Master Syndrome..
“…….”
The sound of the wind passing outside the window.
The sound of an owl flapping its wings can be heard from somewhere.
The sound of the pulse in the blood vessels running in my ears.
All those sounds were pounding on my senses so that I could not rest even for a moment..
Of course, the highlight was Lloyd Frontera's drunkenness, or sleep talking..
“Hey, warden? I really need to get my daily wages today.…….”
“…….”
“No, that's not it. Last time… … You said you would collect it by next week and give it to me... … yes?”
“…….”
“If you do this again this week, I'm really going to get kicked out? I'm already behind a lot on my high school entrance exam fee.…….”
“…….”
“Ah, warden. On a human level... … How is it possible to receive this all at once for a lump sum of money? I'm really in a hurry? yes?”
“…….”
I was just about to take a nap..
I was knocked out of sleep by the strange sound of Lloyd Frontera talking in his sleep..
‘What is it.’
What on earth is this man dreaming about?.
What kind of strange dream did this idiot have that made him make such a realistic and needy plea?.
Even when I feel puzzled.
Lloyd Frontera's sleep-talking continued..
“mom and dad. sorry.”
“…….”
“Even if I went home a little early that day... … If only I hadn’t done that part-time job… … I'm trying to stop you…….”
“…….”
“But Javiel Asrahan…….”
“yes?”
“Namaran wall scene... … Damn. Hehehe…….”
“…….”
What are you talking about, you idiot?.
After listening to this, I became dumbfounded..
It seemed like he was having absurd dreams, perhaps because he was drunk..
and i realized.
‘Phew. I had a hard time falling asleep again today.’
This is all because of Sword Master Syndrome..
When will I be able to overcome this and get a good night’s sleep?.
When will I be able to end the days of dozing off?.
I leaned against the back of my chair with a feeling of giving up..
I looked up at the ceiling immersed in darkness.
Meanwhile, Lloyd Frontera's bizarre sleep talking continued..
“Me too... … I want to live a normal life... … just… … I don’t want to live like this… … I'm tired... … It hurts… … Phew… … charge per day… … Oh really…….”
“…….”
“I want to live while sucking on honey... … But honey is expensive... … Should I buy some honey water? … They sell it at convenience stores... … That must actually be sugar water... … But that’s expensive too… … I would rather eat triangular gimbap with the money I paid to buy that... … Oh really…….”
“…….”
“Kuuuul…….”
“…….”
What on earth are you saying?.
I covered my ears.
Of course, I couldn't stop the constant sound of talking in my sleep..
So I just waited until morning came..
I don't know if you know what's inside of me.
Lloyd Frontera muttered..
“Javiel Asrahan... … Well done.”
“…….”
Could it be that he just cursed at me?.
I don't know.
But I know one thing for sure.
‘Still, it's better than the usual drunken sleep-talking..’
Even the mumbling tone of speech.
That expression too.
Somehow I felt more peaceful than usual..
Okay, that's it..
I wasn't able to tell all my wishes to the shooting star earlier, but.
But let’s just say that tonight, at least a little, my wish was granted..
Thinking like that made me feel a little better..
“sleep well.”
I covered Lloyd Frontera with the blanket he kicked up..
On the other hand, I had a small wish inside..
Morning finally comes.
When this person opens his eyes.
When another day begins like that.
I hope this person will be a little different in that new morning. I really wish you could become a better person..
I carefully embraced a wish that would never come true.
And the morning finally dawned.
Something miraculous happened.
really.
Lloyd Frontera.
I changed like a new person.
