A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 215 – Golden Return

The day after deciding on the disposition of Seluna Emeraldia.

At a time when the sun was shining particularly brightly, a group of people came to the accommodation where Alberto and Nina were staying.

The people standing in front of the lodgings consisted of a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes and four fully armed knights surrounding the man.

The breastplate worn by the knights had a pattern symbolizing the imperial family of the Bregerne Empire.

Additionally, the clothes worn by the middle-aged man surrounded by knights as if guarding him also had patterns symbolizing the imperial family of the Bregern Empire.

In other words, these were people sent by the imperial family of the Bregern Empire.

―Knock knock.

“Are you there?”

A middle-aged man lifted his hand and knocked on the door of the house used as a dormitory.

A clicking sound rang out, and a moment later, a sound that sounded like people moving inside could be heard.

“Who are you?”

The person who opened the door and came out was Alberto.

Even though it was early in the morning, Alberto was wearing comfortable clothes as if he was about to leave somewhere.

“Are you Adalbert Reinmed?”

“That’s right. Who are you and where are you from?”

When the other person called him Adalbert, Alberto agreed and began to observe the man.

Alberto was able to confirm that the man who knocked on the door and the knight standing behind him had the imperial emblem of the Bregern Empire drawn on them.

However, since he could not let down his guard hastily in a situation where he did not know why they had come to visit him, Alberto still maintained his guard.

“Hmm. I think I came to the right place. “Then is Baron Nina Gratias Esselton also here?”

“Yes, but…”

The middle-aged man looked happy and asked if Nina was also here.

When Alberto questioned why they came here, the middle-aged man took out a scroll from his pocket.

Then he unfolded the scroll with both hands.

“Subjects of the Bregern Empire! Noble! Receive the command from His Majesty the Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Bregerne Empire!”

When the middle-aged man opened her scroll and she told him the reason she had come here, Alberto was able to let her guard down.

The reason I mentioned the emperor of the Bregen Empire was because he didn’t come here for something bad.

“Who came?”

“It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has sent someone.”

Because of the commotion at the entrance to her dorm, Nina came outside and asked Alberto about her situation, and Alberto explained her situation in detail.

“Adalbert Reinmed, come here and obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor!”

“I will honor that command.”

As expected from a noble family, Alberto bowed with perfect posture as soon as the words to obey the emperor’s orders came out of the middle-aged man’s mouth.

This was because the person who brought the emperor’s message was considered the same person as the emperor at the time of delivering the message.

“Adalbert Reinmed. Since you have fulfilled all the missions given to you, I now authorize you to use your real name.”

The reason Antonio, the emperor of the Bregerne Empire, sent his envoy to Brisraum was to restore Alberto’s status his.

Since he had successfully carried out his secret instructions, he wanted to pay a reasonable price.

“Alberto Salihar Maidern, the eldest son of the great swordsman Maidern family! In recognition of your contributions, I am officially restoring your status, and I hope that you will continue to be loyal to the empire and me.”

Through the words from the middle-aged man’s mouth, Adalbert Reinmed officially disappeared, and his identity as Alberto Salihar Madern was officially restored.

“Also, I am now announcing that you have reached the level of a sword master.”

Additionally, it became officially known that Alberto had reached the level of sword master.

Then, the knights standing behind the middle-aged man all raised their swords and saluted Alberto.

This was a sign of respect to a sword master who had achieved a higher level than himself, regardless of age or status.

“Accordingly, the imperial family is planning a banquet to celebrate your safe return and great achievement, so I command you to attend. May the brilliant sunlight shine on your future.”

With these words, the middle-aged man rolled up the scroll and put it back in his arms.

“I have finished what I came here for, so I will now go back. Congratulations, Prince Albert. You have officially become our Empire’s second Sword Master. “I look forward to seeing you again at the banquet to be held in the capital.”

After finishing his work, the middle-aged man left Bris Raum with his knights in a carriage that approached Alberto’s lodgings, leaving a message saying he would look forward to seeing him again.

“You went, right?”

“I’m gone.”

Alberto wrote this while looking at the place where the man who came in the morning and left after delivering the emperor’s order to him was trying to tell whether this was reality or a dream.

He remembered the past days when he had to live under the name of Alberto Salihar Meydern and then Adalbert Reinmed.

There were so many twists and turns to get to this point.

There were times when he was in crisis while gathering information about traitors, and he also faced situations where there were no answers.

There were situations where an ordinary person would have given up several times.

But Alberto did not give up, and was eventually able to accomplish his task.

As a result, his status was officially restored through the emperor’s messenger in Brisraum, and his status as a sword master, which he had previously had to be hidden, was officially recognized.

“Then do I have to call him Prince Albert now? Since our relationship is still unknown, should we be respectful?”

“Just call me whatever you want. Anyway, our relationship will soon become known to the world.”

Alberto gave a clear answer to Nina, who was wondering how to call him from now on.

Anyway, the emperor’s messenger saw this and went, and didn’t the knights who followed as guards also watched Alberto and Nina together?

Perhaps, in the near future, information about the relationship between Alberto and Nina would spread widely throughout the aristocratic society.

Alberto’s parents were already actively allowing Nina and Alberto to date, as if each other’s families did not know about the relationship between the two.

So there was no need to deny the relationship between the two.

“I’m sure you two will explain it well.”

“Hmm. Well, the Count and Countess are people who can easily explain things well.”

Alberto trusted her parents, and Nina also trusted that her in-laws she would take care of things.

If they enter the Bregern Empire, they will explain it themselves, but aren’t they still staying in Brisraum?

So, these two people thought it was natural to ask for an explanation from the people who were their family and would soon become their family.

It is said that a married couple resembles each other, and they were truly a good match.

◈

At the same time, a messenger sent by Antonio also came to Count Meydern’s territory.

“Count Meydern, receive His Majesty’s orders!”

“What on earth is going on?”

“Oh my, you’re so scared. “What’s going on here in the imperial family?”

The residents of the territory were trembling with anxiety when they saw that the imperial messenger had visited the territory.

Usually, when imperial messengers came to visit the territory, they usually brought some bad news.

But that was only for a moment.

“I hereby announce that Alberto Salihar Madern, son of Count Madern, bravely explored unexplored regions to contribute to the well-being of the empire and returned safely alive! Therefore, we formally announce that Alberto Salihar Meydern has returned as a member of the Meydern family as of the present time.”

It was to announce Alberto’s official return to the Maidern family.

“Warmer, Master Alberto is alive?”

“Hi, hi, I’m so glad.”

“How happy the Count and Countess will be.”

When Alberto’s return became known, the residents of the territory rejoiced as if their own family had returned alive.

This was because the Count and Countess always treated the people of the territory well, and Alberto also treated the people of the territory in a friendly manner.

“In addition, we hereby formally declare that Alberto Salihar Meydern has reached the level of sword master, and a banquet to celebrate this and welcome the return of Prince Albert will be held at the imperial palace. Count Meydern and his wife are requested to attend the banquet. “I command you.”

“I will obey Your Majesty’s orders.”

Count Meydern showed his respect by saying that he would attend a banquet to celebrate Alberto’s becoming a sword master and his safe return.

In this way, Alberto’s return and rise to the level of a sword master became officially known throughout the Bregern Empire.

And there were people who reacted particularly violently to this news.
