This Bastard is Too Competent
Chapter 14 - Proof

“Thank you, sir!”

“Enjoy your meal!”

Ian headed to the center of the town.

And the main gate was the spot where Ian’s gaze landed.

‘Is this what it feels like?’


Ian’s emotions as he gazed at the main gate were beyond words.

A whopping 10 years.

He had lived in this duke’s castle for 10 years.

But he had never felt this way before.

‘It’s magnificent. And it feels reassuring.‘

It was different for his past self.

He remembered when he was insulted by other nobles because he came in through the back gate.

For some reason, the sight of the Duke frowning at him.

It greatly changed his impression on the main gate.

‘I was scared. I didn’t even want to see it anymore.’

But now the beginning had changed.

‘The gatekeeper and the castle gate look great.’

Like that, Ian smiled proudly and headed toward the drawbridge.

It was a central fortress wall heading to the town center.

It was crowded with countless people. It would probably take quite a while to pass through.


‘People don’t know my face yet.’

It was then.

“Get out of the way! Make way for the noble!”

“!”

The gatekeeper who saw Ian immediately raised his voice.

People stepped aside at the gatekeeper’s words.

It was a natural attitude as if it should have been so. At last, people bowed their heads to him.

Ian wondered what happened, but soon he could see the reason.

“It’s a knight, knight!”

‘Ah. You’ve recognized Galon and Nathan.’

However, the gatekeeper’s gaze was directed at Ian.

“You have two knights.”

“!”

“I do not know which family you are from, but we welcome your visit. Come, this way, please.”
