    556.

    Leo was treated very warmly by the Geron family.

    It wasn’t just because he was Elena’s guest.

    “You don’t know how many tears this old man shed when Plov found Alia’s belongings.”

    The old wizard who was sitting at the dinner table repeatedly bowed his head to Leo wiping away his tears with a handkerchief.

    Elena who was sitting at the head of the table spoke to the old wizard as she cut a steak with a fork and knife.

    “It’s disgraceful in front of guests Berewin.”

    “I know miss. But when I think about that time this old man… this old man….”

    Berewin Berak.

    The hero named in the Hero Record was not only Altech Geron the current head of Geron and the Infinity Speller but also the Magic Eye Wizard Alby a professor of Rumern and an archmage who was also Elena’s magic teacher.

    If he had been teaching Xeron’s direct lineage it was obvious that he would also have taught Alia Zeron whom Leo saved from the world of heroes during the first-year midterm exam.

    ‘Did you say this person’s name is demon blood?’

    Just looking at this name it was clear that he was a wizard who manipulated blood.

    Leo thought of Fritz Edgon from the first-year magic department.

    An admirer of Leo from the shadows he also deals with blood magic.

    “Alia was truly a kind-hearted person. When Alia was alive both the matriarch and Alvi were brighter. “He was also a very talented person.”

    “I’ve heard so much about Aunt Nene.”

    Elena rested her chin and sighed.

    “Of course if you look at talent alone Elena is the best.”

    Berewin looked at Elena.

    “The problem is that you’re a little lazy.”

    Elena looked bored at those words.

    “Don’t you think so Plov?”

    Leo looked at Elena in response to Berewin’s question.

    “Elena-senior is definitely lazy.”

    “oh? “Is it okay to say something like that to a senior?”

    “Because it’s true.”

    Leo cut the meat with a knife.

    In terms of pure talent.

    Elena was one of the greatest geniuses Leo had ever seen.

    Both past life and present life.

    In the history of heroes there were great heroes who carried their era.

    The hero of the most recent era is none other than the sword saint Calian.

    “If you look at his talent alone he is a talent that surpasses the Sword Master.”

    “Ohh?”

    Berewin was impressed.

    He is also a hero who lived in the same era as Geomseong.

    Of course his name loses its luster in front of the great name of the Sword Saint.

    However even so he is a comrade in arms who participated in countless battles with the Sword Saint Calian and exchanged help with him.

    It was interesting that Leo said that Berewin had the talent to surpass the swordsman level.

    “What makes you think so?”

    “I had a friend who was good at people.”

    Leo thought of Lisinas.

    “I learned a little bit from that guy.”

    “You are confident in your own vision.”

    “I’m not as good as that friend.”

    Leo grinned.

    Elena stared at Leo.

    That’s how dinner ended.

    ***

    deep night.

    Leo was fast asleep in bed.

    Sabak- Sabak-

    Then I heard small footsteps.

    Sigh-

    Leo opened his eyes when he felt someone climbing on the bed.

    “Are you awake? “Leo?”

    Elena grinned.

    Leo said while looking at Elena.

    “Sir it’s very late at night now isn’t it?”

    “know.”

    Elena shrugged her shoulders.

    “I just came to talk.”

    Elena dressed in a negligee sat on the bed and crossed her legs.

    Queen of Rumern.

    Or Elena who is called a witch and is the object of fear among students.

    But for now she looked like a girl her age.

    “Leo. Do you know why I so obediently handed over the position of student council president to you?”

    “Because it’s annoying.”

    “Of course there is that.”

    Elena giggled.

    “But more than that it was because I wanted to see a flawless hero.”

    Elena turned her head and looked at Leo.

    Pink eyes sparkled.

    “I thought you could become a perfect hero.”

    A childlike innocence was visible in those eyes.

    “Why did you want to see a flawless hero?”

    “Do you remember what I said after defeating Erebos in Luna’s world?”

    ‘When I was young I preferred princesses being saved rather than heroes in children’s books. I started to admire that side more.’

    Leo opened his mouth recalling what had happened before.

    “You mean you like princesses better than heroes?”

    “huh.”

    Elena chuckled.

    “I’ve been listening to it since I was young and I got sick of it. “That you will become a hero.”

    No matter what anyone said it was clear that Elena was one of the greatest talents in the Age of Heroes.

    Unusual background.

    And an even more extraordinary talent.

    “I’ve been hearing this since I was young. “That I should follow in Rumern’s footsteps.”

    Elena laughed.

    “You know what? “Lumerne was frustrated because he encountered his own limitations?”

    “is it so?”

    “Yes it is a fact written in the first chairman’s memoir.”

    “It’s fascinating.”

    “….”

    Elena slowly opened her eyes at Leo’s sour reaction.

    “It’s a pretty lukewarm response isn’t it?”

    “Elena-senpai did you respect the Twilight Knight?”

    “….”

    Elena fell silent at those words and nodded.

    “I respect you even now.”

    Elena laughed.

    “I was raised very harshly as a child.”

    Elena has been called the greatest genius in the history of the Geron family since she was young.

    There was even an expectation that it might go beyond the Twilight Sage and reach the Twilight Knight.

    He was literally revered as the successor to Gaebyeok.

    As such Elena’s childhood was harsh.

    “Every time I did that I looked at Rumerne’s children’s book.”

    A knight who never gives up.

    The epic story of Rumern who rose from the status of a slave to the status of a hero who saved the world was literally an endless challenge itself.

    “I was able to gain strength from the fact that he never gave up. “Lumern was a perfect hero to me when I was young.”

    And saw.

    The story ends with Rumern being frustrated.

    “Are you disappointed?”

    “Well… I’m more frustrated than disappointed.”

    Elena’s eyes sank.

    “It was vividly written in the memoirs of our ancestors. “The sight of Lumern screaming in frustration.”

    It was a shock to young Elena.

    “I ended up not knowing what to do when I realized that even the person I was targeting was not a perfect hero.”

    A terrible life hidden in the name of being harsh and harsh.

    Of course the Geron family did not force Elena to live that kind of life just to torment her.

    Because I simply believed in the possibility.

    Elena also spent her childhood believing in her own potential and relying on Rumerne’s stories.

    “When Uncle Alby returned to the family there was no more boring training. “For that I’m really grateful.”

    Elena smiled.

    “But after that it became completely crooked. “Have you become an arrogant child who makes fun of people?”

    “Yes of course.”

    “Shouldn’t you deny it in that case?”

    Elena frowned slightly and glared at Leo for a moment.

    After a while he sighed and said.

    “I recently learned why I was frustrated.”

    “….”

    “In the end Lord Rumern despaired of being unable to defeat Erebos.”

    Elena uncrossed her legs and looked at the ceiling and lamented.

    “I’m in vain. “Why did I want to be a hero for?”

    Slurp-

    Elena who was lying on the bed turned her gaze towards Leo.

    “The reason I made Leo the student council president was because I wanted to make him the perfect hero that I couldn’t become. “Well it happened without help from me.”

    Elena laughed.

    “I’ve lost all motivation. Should I just skip school?”

    “That’s difficult but you should become vice-student president.”

    “Huh? “Does that mean Leo-kun needs me?”

    Elena smiled a strangely twisted smile stood up and walked towards Leo.

    “What do I think Leo-kun looks like?”

    “What is it?”

    “I’m very beautiful right? There is also a background called Xeron. His abilities are also outstanding. That’s why I want to give you the position of vice-student president.”

    Elena crawled up to Leo and got on top of him.

    “It’s a common story where a princess marries the hero who saved her and provides help to that hero right?”

    Elena’s pink eyes shone.

    Elena’s flowing hair tickles Leo’s cheek.

    “what do you think about it?”

    At those words Leo who was lying down stretched out his hand.

    Leo’s fingertips touched Elena’s abdomen.

    Elena’s stomach clenches.

    Leo’s fingers moved along her stomach and towards her sides and Elena’s body trembled slightly every time.

    and….

    Sigh-!

    “Ahh?!”

    “Don’t be so picky. What kind of adult is this little boy who hasn’t even lost his hair yet?”

    Leo mercilessly pinched Elena’s side as if it were the same.

    “Is this the worst? “It’s the worst!”

    “I’m the student council president at school so I’m the highest ranking person right?”

    Leo who easily subdued Elena clicked his tongue and got off the bed.

    Elena who was left alone on the bed clutched her side and trembled.

    “Did you tame the reel this rough?”

    “Don’t say anything that others will misunderstand.”

    Leo said with his arms crossed.

    “If you play around like this one more time you could end up in real trouble next time so don’t do it.”

    “Ah it’s not fun. What kind of guy’s junior looks like a worn-out guy like that? “You can’t even make fun of me.”

    Elena snorted.

    ‘He’s worn out you arrogant guy.’

    Leo said after laughing inwardly.

    “The Twilight Knight must have been frustrated and given up.”

    “….”

    Elena smiled bitterly.

    “But it probably happened again.”

    “what?”

    “Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t get frustrated and doesn’t give up? “If there’s a guy like that he’s really crazy.”

    Leo clicked his tongue.

    An era of disaster.

    As a surviving hero he was the one who suffered more frustration and gave up than anyone else.

    but….

    “The important thing is whether you can stand up again.”

    I finally stood up.

    For Leo not giving up is not just about sticking to the impossible.

    Getting up again and running to another path to avoid an insurmountable wall also means not giving up.

    “I gave up on defeating Erebos but I didn’t give up on defeating Erebos. That is why the Twilight Knight has been blocking Erebos in the world of heroes for 3000 years.”

    ‘He probably thinks he’s given up.’

    Leo thought of his successor whom he had never met or spoken to.

    ‘Don’t be pessimistic about yourself Kyle. You are called a hero who survives… even though you were frustrated and gave up at that moment. Because in the end I stood up several times and ran in a different direction. That’s never giving up.’

    Lisinas’ words came to mind.

    ‘If you respect me… you don’t have to resemble me to such an extent.’

    Leo laughed bitterly and looked at Elena who had a blank expression on her face.

    “If you truly respect the Twilight Knight there is no need to give up on yourself just because Lumern gave up. therefore.”

    Leo said making eye contact with Elena.

    “Get up again and again. Childish princess. “Stand up.”

    “Stand up?”

    “You should become a real queen. “How long are you going to play around with the things you bought so cheaply when you were young?”

    Elena looked dumbfounded.

    Then he burst into laughter and asked.

    “You don’t need a new slave?”

    “New slaves are always welcome.”

    Elena burst into laughter at those words.

    “Really… you have an outrageous junior.”

    Elena sighed and got off the bed and crossed her arms.

    “Instead I will run it my way.”

    Leo nodded.

    “As you wish.”
