A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 81: (1)

Chapter 81: (1)

Knock Knock.

Several hours had passed, and someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Kaiyan, its me.

Barvans voice, which Kaiyan hadnt heard for a few days came from outside.

Kaiyan went to the door and opened it.

Are you okay?

Just looking at Barvans face made him appear as if he could collapse at any moment. It wasnt like this a few days ago.

Barvan walked wearily to the bed and reached out to pat Rieka, but she swatted his hand away. He turned his head toward Kaiyan with a disappointed expression.

I thought my head would explode from dealing with the mess that Janson left behind. He hid so much.

Hmm Well, with that guy, its understandable.

Even Barvans closest confidants had hidden spies in the Carsia family. Kaiyan couldnt even begin to imagine how many pranks they had played.

If Janson hadnt died there that day, Barvan would have been so anxious that he couldnt sleep.

But now, most of the important things are resolved, so I can finally breathe.

Thats good. Looking at your faces, I thought youd collapse at any moment.

Kukuku, more importantly, Hoil told me. There are some knights in our family who are ignoring you.

Well, I dont really care.

Honestly, if he had met those guys outside, he would have stabbed a sword into their mouths. But this was the Carsia family. As an outsider here, he couldnt say their behavior was wrong.

On the Eunasia Continent, it was natural for high-ranking individuals to ignore those of lower status.

Kaiyan, dont forget that youre my guest.

Does that mean I can kill them?

Well Cough. Its okay to lose an arm or a leg, but killing the familys knights would be a problem.

An arm or a leg is okay?

If I had known that, I would have cut off a leg or an arm of those arrogant guys earlier.

While regretting, Kaiyan listened as Barvan spoke with a somewhat apologetic expression.

Kaiyan.

What?

Well Im really sorry, but I think you should leave the Carsia Territory today.

Sure, thats fine.

What? Youre not asking for reasons?

Whether its today or tomorrow, I was planning to leave anyway. If I hadnt said goodbye today, I would have left tomorrow. I can leave right now.

Why are you leaving all of a sudden? Is it because of the knights?

Looking at Barvan, who was shaking like he had an earthquake in his eyes, Kaiyan felt strangely uneasy. It felt like he had made a new friend.

No way. Friends with nobility?

Its not like that. I just have something important to do, so I have to leave now. So tell me the location of the merchants from Lukuba.

Alright. But listen to why I told you to leave.

Its okay.

Honestly, Kaiyan didnt want to hear it because he was anxious about what might come out of Barvans mouth.

If he was telling Kaiyan to leave because he was uncomfortable with a commoner being in the Carsia family or because the Carsia Hujak had told him to get out, what would Kaiyan do?

She knows that Janson is dead.

Who?

Lady Hujak.

On one hand, Kaiyan was relieved that it wasnt the reason he had thought of, but he still wondered why it was a problem.

Barvan was the one who killed Janson without a doubt, and Kaiyan only helped kill Jansons sub-knights. Whats the big deal?

Naturally. Lady Hujak would try to kill you because she knew.

So why me? Wasnt Lord Marquis joking the last time he said that?

When Kaiyan first met the Hujak, the Marquis mentioned that if the fact that Janson was dead were to be revealed to her, she would come after him. At that time, he thought it was a joke.

Since Lady Hujak found out that I killed Janson through the five surviving knights, of course, she knows that you were there too.

So what? I didnt kill Janson.

Sigh Lady Hujak cant kill me, so youre the problem.

Are you saying shell kill me because she cant kill you?

Right now, Lady Hujak is Jansons adoptive mother.

Thats obvious. Theres no way the Hujak would raise someone whos not his own child.

My mother and Jansons mother arent the same.

What do you mean?

My real mother gave birth to me and passed away. And the one who filled that void is the current Lady Hujak.

Barvans face as he spoke looked lonely. Watching him made Kaiyan feel awkward.

Barvan, who had a sorrowful expression, continued to speak.

She has been trying to groom Jansen as the successor since childhood. Kaiyan, do you know how many power struggles happen within noble families? When I was young, I lived every day with gratitude for just being alive. There were times when I didnt eat for days, fearing that the food might be poisoned.

Barvan

The reason I killed Jansen was not only because he repeatedly targeted my life, but also because I wanted to seek revenge for Lady Hujak. Kaiyan, do I seem like a monster to you?

It was a bit strange.

When Kaiyan first met Barvan, he had thought that Barvan, with his cold demeanor and the attempt to kill his own brother, would have a cruel personality. But as Kaiyan spent time with him, he could sense that Barvan was not a heartless person.

He had been thinking that this guy killed his younger brother to secure the position of heir and wondering why power was so frightening.

Not everything is bad just because theyre nobles.

Not knowing what to say, Kaiyan remained silent. At that moment, Rieka, who had been rolling on the bed, approached Barvan and tapped his hand as if to reassure him.

After petting Rieka with his hand, Barvan relaxed his expression and smiled.

I find this quite pleasing. Kaiyan, the next destination from the Merchants of Lukuba is the Havinel territory. Youll need to hurry because you have to travel there by horse, and it will take about five days from here. Hoil has already been informed; follow him. He will provide you with a horse and a map.

Sure, thank you.

Im only keeping my promise.

Barvan, who had once again turned expressionless as if he hadnt smiled at all, spoke bluntly. When Kaiyan extended his hand to him, Barvan grabbed it with a small smile.

Lets meet again next time if the opportunity arises, Barvan.

From my estimate, well probably meet again soon.

Why?

You guys are not ordinary.

That doesnt sound like a compliment. Anyway, I wont forget the Carsia family.
