197 196. Black Leather Gloves
I have transported my luggage to the noble mansion many times.
But I didn’t think the day would come when I would walk down the hall as a knight.
While Marcella is about to leave with her right hand and right leg, she is guided by her servant and continues down the hallway.
It was a moment ago that I was told by the old knight of my educator, ‘I will finally let you meet the Lord (or the Lord)’.
I rushed to get ready for lunch time, wondering if it would at least be something you wouldn’t give me tomorrow.
And now, as the educator taught me, I’m walking right through my spine.
This is the main residence of the Scalfalotto family.
Blue roof on white wall. The lawn in the garden was so uniform that I thought it was a green carpet.
The hallway is an unspoilt blue carpet, with delicate paintings decorating the walls for each compartment.
Even the common man and his blind self found it on the boulder that he was putting it on quite a bit.
Coming fairly deep into the mansion, a glossy black door with both openings opens.
Behind the large room, a man who invited himself sat down.
“Welcome, Marcella”
I call my name to affection, silver hair, a blue-eyed man laughs.
He said he was Wolfe’s brother, but I couldn’t find any similarities.
“Nice to meet you, Master Scalfalotto, thank you so much for this time”
Shortly after entering the room, he bowed his head deeply and expressed his sincere gratitude.
It was this man who wished for the complete healing magic to heal Irma.
They haven’t asked me how much it cost or what consideration I paid.
On the contrary, he said he didn’t even know his brother, Wolfe, and he couldn’t tell me.
“I’m glad your wife and child are safe. Sit there and relax. You may call me Gouid. I’ll wear it with Wolf.”
“Thank you for your concern, Master Gouid. Here, you’re spoiled, but if you don’t mind, enjoy.”
Before I sat on the couch, I put it on the table for a cloudless sake.
Within reach, I bought one of the most expensive large bottles.
Next to it is a metal can that Ivano was preparing for me. The contents are dried kraken and squid.
I checked twice to see if this was really okay, but Wolfe said he liked his brother too, so I brought it with me.
“Don’t hesitate. And to you too, it’s a celebration of entering the Chamber of Commerce. For once, I am Lord Rossetti’s noble guardian.”
When Gouad received the silver magic box from his squire, he placed it in front of Marcella himself.
The surface of the magic box was engraved with the crest of the Scalfalotto family.
“I’ll let the knight’s sword come from Wolf, but as far as I’m concerned, I thought this one would be better suited for you. I’m wondering if it fits, so now, can you give it a try?
“… thank you. Excuse me.”
Marcella opens the silver lid, nervously.
Inside, it was filled with leather gloves.
Glossy black leather is quite thick. Silver embellishments at the root of the fingers and a thin metal plate between the leather and the leather on the back of the gloves. It also seemed more like a strike-based weapon than a glove.
If I put my finger in it and pulled the end up over my wrist, I was familiar with it firmly in my hand like the one I had been using for a long time.
“How’s it feel to wear it?
“It seems to be perfect and very easy to use”
If I held my fist in gently, I felt the loose magic surrounding the whole thing.
“That’s good. Black Wyburn gloves. Black steel (crocodile) is supplied on the inside. That’s a lot of magic equipment, so we should be able to beat through the fortified walls. It might take a little while.”
Black Wyburn is a big material. How destructive is it to be able to break a fortified wall?
A lot of things went around my head all at once, like how much on one of these gloves, and if it was this magic guide, Darya must definitely be eating it.
But all I could say to my voice was one word.
“May I take it?
“Of course I do. Whether it’s protecting Wolfe or Lord Rossetti or protecting your family, don’t hesitate to use it when you need it. Even if it exceeds degrees, all later processing will be done here.”
“… thank you”
I have words caught in my ear, but Marcella doesn’t listen back.
He became the knight of the Scalfalotto family and spoke with Ivano in a broken stomach the night he entered the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce.
I heard both the competence and the fear of this gouad.
But I was forced to save my wife.
I came here to swallow the cloudy mixture.
“I have something to tell you. It’s something that might offend you.”
“That’s… well, isn’t there also an option not to talk?
Not answering her own question, Gouid put a red waxed parchment on the table.
“I looked into your father. Predictably aristocratic, but you want me to give you a name? If it’s your blood muscle and your amount of magic, you’ll be welcomed into the clan. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of titles.”
“No, thank you.”
Convinced in an instant, say no with instant answers.
It’s a connection I don’t need. I am not going to live as a nobleman.
“Let’s talk a little bit about the old days – do you know the story of a nine-headed serpent (Hydra) coming out along the border some twenty years ago?
“Yes, I know.”
It’s a famous story in Wangdu.
He said there were knights and magicians who melted with the strong venom of the Hydra serpent and left no remains.
Flowers still linger in the joint tomb at the entrance to the noble cemetery.
“In that battle, the demonic crusade troops and the demonic guide units of our country, together fourteen men, crossed into the land of honor. Among them were knights who excelled in earthly magic and physical strengthening. Born into a high-ranking nobleman, he fell in love with a flower city woman and said that when the Nine-headed Serpent (Hydra) crusade was over, he would marry even if he was forgiven. A brave knight who crushed the seventh head of the Hydra.”
I don’t have to ask who that is about.
When I carved exactly into my chest about a man I had never known, Marcella asked.
“If you can, what is the name of that knight? I don’t need a family name.”
Lord Bernardi.
“… Bernardi”
Repeat the name small in your mouth. For some reason, it was terribly familiar.
“The Hammer of War (Warhammer) used by Lord Bernardi in his crusade for the Hydra was kept for the study of poison. Years old and corroded, but I recast where I was safe and added it to those gloves.”
“… thank you”
For some reason, I think my gloves are just a little heavier. Warm magic shook in his clenched fist.
“Does it make any difference what it feels like not to raise a name?
“It doesn’t change. My wife is the most important thing.”
“Then why don’t you keep your tracks here as far as you can, in case?
“Please.”
“Okay.”
Gouid threw parchment in a fireplace without fire.
And turn a blind eye to the oblique rear squire.
The rust-haired man, silently approaching the fireplace, threw a bright red flame with his right hand.
The parchment burned up with Melali burns out with a unique smell.
Marcella asked as she watched the flame go away.
“Why are you getting this far?
I am only magical, and kinship nobles are unavailable. Not financially wealthy either.
I don’t know how much Wolfe’s brother, but I don’t see why Goood would let me get this far.
“To take you in. And then you can work as hard as you can within the prescribed salary.”
“It would be better if they took care of it a little more…”
“Well, I was understudied. I’ll do that next time.”
I accidentally returned words that seemed disrespectful to Gouid’s mild tone.
But he smiled joyfully.
“I’m a coward. That’s why I’m asking you. I want you to protect me, Wolfe and Lord Rossetti.”
“Master Wolf is stronger than me, no.”
“I don’t know about that. When I didn’t have anything to protect, I did, but now I’ve spread my hands.”
Does it mean Dahlia spread her hand?
My deep blue eyes turned unwavering at me for putting my doubts on my face.
“There may come a day when what Wolfe wants to protect will not be enough with that hand alone. Besides, if Lord Rossetti gets the title, there could be trouble. That’s why I need a powerful protector. If only they could dye their hands and their bodies red.”
“It’s an escort, so be prepared. I will never forget how grateful you are for helping my wife.”
Marcella answers straight.
They saved the lives of the children they almost gave up and the lives of their wives.
If you told me to protect Darya and Wolfe, I wouldn’t risk my life.
“I’m happy with that word. If anything happens to you, I’ll take care of your wife, your parents here. I won’t let you have any kind of disability for the rest of your life. In the unlikely event that anyone harms you and your wife’s family, they will surely double that reward and make you receive it. I promise in the name of Gouad Scalfalotto – do we need a temple contract?
“No, thank you.”
“Now let’s call the witness Jonas Goodwin of the Viscount. Jonas, remember my words.”
“Accepted.”
My squire’s rusty eyes look at me still.
I felt a slight laugh, even though the expression didn’t move.
“Marcella, will you sift that fist to protect Wolfe and Lord Rossetti?
Marcella matched her fists and fists in front of her chest, sounding hard.
Answers, etc., are finally decided.
“I will do everything I can to protect you.”
