Chapter 113
Episode 113
Beatrice was seen lying on the bed.
He must have been so tired that he didn’t notice until I came inside and was sleeping.
He was sleeping so soundly that I felt sorry to wake him up to give him an invitation.
“Is this Beatrice?”
I nodded.
The princess looked at Beatrice’s face with eyes full of interest.
“I will leave the invitation, so would you please wait outside for a moment?”
“yes.”
The princess was sent out. Even a group of people whispering together can seem like a loud noise to someone who sleeps quietly.
Therefore, I prepared myself in advance and quietly walked to the table.
As it happened, the table was next to the bed where she was lying.
I silenced my footsteps as much as possible and checked to see if she would wake up.
-Moves like a human chicken.
‘Quiet.’
At that time, I was about to take the invitation out of my pocket and put it down on the table.
Huh.
A cold chill lingered around my neck.
If I had pulled my head back just a little later, the ice spear would have pierced my neck.
“who is this.”
She glared at me in a hoarse voice.
Sharp ice formed on the round staff in her hand.
“….”
“He has a big liver. “Sneaking into my room.”
Perhaps because she woke up because of me, her voice was very sharp.
How they deal with me depends on my answer.
“it’s me.”
“me?”
“Raymond.”
“…?”
A question mark appeared on her face.
When I showed her face, she blinked for a moment and then her face instantly turned red.
“Why are you here!”
“Now wait…!”
She swung her staff wildly.
Sharp ice decorated the air.
“Calm down!”
He crawled into her arms and grabbed hold of the spear.
Her face got closer to mine and she quickly nodded.
“Why are you here? “You don’t even come to the Magic Tower.”
“I want to pass this on to you.”
When she saw the invitation I was waving, she fell silent.
She pulled the staff back with an expression of understanding.
The ice disappears.
“Is there a need to give it away so suspiciously?”
“How do I wake you up from your sleep? “Take this.”
When I saw her receiving the invitation, I straightened my lower back.
“I’m sorry for waking you up. I’m going to go now. Get some rest.”
“…Go together. “I tried to get up too.”
She got off the bed and put on the robe that was hanging on the wall.
When I went outside with her, I saw the princess surrounded by wizards.
“What brings you here?”
“You are very beautiful. If you have time, would you like to have tea with me?”
“What is your relationship with Raymond?”
She was answering their questions one by one with a very troubled look on her face.
It didn’t take that long, but seeing so many people gathered, it seemed like she looked amazing.
‘Ability may also have played a role.’
Her appearance and abilities must have worked in synergy to create that appearance.
I had no desire to come in between them.
It seemed like it would be hard to get any good results from interfering for no reason.
“It seems like I’ve never seen this face before… Is he in your group?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“….”
I nodded and she closed her mouth with a thoughtful look on her face.
“there! What are you doing now? “Class is coming soon, so do you think you have time to talk leisurely like that?”
“I’m sorry!”
“I’ll go back.”
Her words had a huge impact.
The noisy apprentices suddenly became quiet and quickly returned to the classroom.
“Oh, thank you. “Thanks to you, I survived.”
“….”
Beatrice said nothing in response to the princess’ thank you.
Beatrice turned to me, ignoring her.
“Why don’t we just have a cup of tea and leave?”
He shook his head at her who said he would treat her personally.
“I have work to do right now so I have to go.”
“Ah…”
“Are you going with that woman?”
“That woman…”
I think the reaction would be quite funny since the person speaking so carelessly right now is the princess.
“thanks for your effort.”
I waved lightly at her and got on the gate.
Coo!
My vision changed and a heavy shock hit me.
“Whoops…!”
It happened all at once, so I was rolling around on the ground with no way to react.
-Is the human okay? Kill that guy?
I heard the hatchling shouting excitedly.
What hit me now?
I couldn’t stop the hatchling because I was out of breath and in pain as if I had been hit by a 1-ton truck.
“uh? what. “It’s Raymond.”
The bewildered voice of Count Warrug was heard.
***
Count Warrug bowed his head to me and repeatedly shouted that he was sorry.
At the same time, if he thought I was an ignorant ogre, he made an excuse that wasn’t an excuse to me.
“There’s no way an ogre could get through the gate in the first place, right?”
“That’s right…”
I looked at him pitifully as he made excuses that didn’t work.
My first impression was that it was so majestic, but now it wasn’t.
“Um… I’m sorry. It was my mistake. “Are you here to deliver an invitation?”
“yes.”
“Selina is over there at training center 1. “There are no articles right now, so why not meet in person and tell the story?”
“I will.”
“And the princess… I will treat you to tea.”
“no. are you okay. I don’t think it will take a long time. “I will go with you, Raymond.”
After hearing the princess’s words, Count Warrug looked at me with strange eyes.
It was not easy to hear someone from the royal family call you “nim.”
“Then I will go with you.”
“You don’t have to, but aren’t you busy?”
“Okay. “I’m so busy these days that I’m so free that I’m bored.”
“….”
I followed the direction given by Count Warrug and went to find Selina.
Whoosh!
She was swinging a sword in the training hall.
Silver light embroidered the air.
“Oh….”
In the meantime, further progress was made.
So much so that I want to share the sword myself. But now was not the time.
You must give her an invitation and proceed to the royal palace.
It takes half a day just to get to the royal palace.
That time was shortened because the royal wizard met at a certain section and moved together.
“Selina! “A guest has arrived!”
“ah. “Raymond…”
Selina looked back at me, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.
Then my eyes fell on the princess next to me and I froze.
“…Who is the person next to you?”
She approached with a strangely wary voice.
“Ah, this is Princess Daria.”
“uh…?”
Her face stiffened.
Never before has a royal family walked around without proper favor.
“If you are Princess Daria…”
“Hello.”
The princess smiled softly.
I left her behind and took out the invitation from my arms.
“This is an invitation to this banquet.”
“Oh, thank you.”
She accepted the invitation and hesitated, looking like she wanted to say something.
Count Warrug, who was quietly watching from the side, made an unexpected suggestion.
“How about you two spar?”
“You mean Dalian?”
I don’t have much time.
There was a time to meet the wizard, so I had to go before that time.
“Hmm…”
When I looked at Selina, she seemed to be secretly looking forward to it.
It was hard to refuse after seeing that face.
“If it’s just for a little while… I think it’ll be okay.”
Her face brightened.
Count Warrug moved and came from a corner of the training hall, holding two wooden swords.
“Looking at it, it looks like there’s another place we need to go.”
“yes. “Let’s keep it simple.”
I took the wooden sword.
When I looked back at Selina, I saw that she was waiting for me in the center of the training ground.
Did you really want to spar like that?
‘Let’s keep it light and light.’
I stood in front of her and looked at her posture.
It is no different from the standard textbook.
It was the same as before, but what was different was that the posture was unique to her.
‘This is quite…!’
I quickly turned my head as I thought about her posture.
Her wooden sword grazed my chin.
The attack is sharp.
Her sword struck my whole body like an awl stabbing me.
The speed got faster.
A genius wasn’t a genius for nothing.
“…Why aren’t you attacking?”
She stopped attacking and glared at me.
I just dodged the attack and didn’t attack properly.
You may feel like you are being ignored, but that wasn’t the case at all.
I don’t know where to start.
I needed to attack, but I was wondering how far she would take it.
“no. “I’m going in.”
You can adjust your strength appropriately.
Recently, I only sparred with the Mercenary King and forgot how to control my strength.
Because I didn’t have to control my strength when sparring with the Mercenary King.
‘If this is enough…’
He dug into her arms and swung his sword.
“…!”
Her eyes widened as she looked at my sword.
Kwaaaaang!
A huge impact sound spread everywhere and a cloud of dust rose up.
“…What is it?”
But it wasn’t Selina who was blocking my sword.
Before I knew it, Count Warrug was approaching me, blocking my sword with an auror wrapped around his arm.
Behind him was Selina with a very surprised face.
“I guess the sparring should stop here.”
Count Warrug stopped sparring with a serious look on his face.
All I did during sparring was swing my sword once.
“What is your relationship with… the ogre?”
“Are you coming? “Why does an ogre come out here?”
“Ah… What is your relationship with the Mercenary King?”
You were calling the mercenary king an ogre.
What kind of relationship do you have with the mercenary king? It wasn’t a particularly special relationship.
“He lives as a guest at my house and becomes my sparring partner.”
“no wonder.”
He nodded as if he understood.
“So it smells like him. “This won’t be a match for me to spar with.”
Selina came out behind him.
“Thank you for sparring.”
“no. “I didn’t do anything right.”
I returned the wooden sword to Count Warrug and straightened my clothes.
“Then I will go. “Time is running out.”
“Yes, thank you for acceding to my request.”
Selina still couldn’t get over the shock.
I waved at her and got on the warp plane.
***
I met the royal wizard and went straight into the royal castle.
The feeling of attention from all directions is quite burdensome.
In particular, the gaze towards the first princess was very intense.
Some people looked strangely at the count’s return after disappearing for a while.
“You can go in here. “His Majesty the Crown Prince is asking Princess Daria to come in as well.”
Guided by the knights, I entered the crown prince’s room.
The crown prince was seen eating fruit in a leisurely manner.
“My close friend and… Daria are here.”
The reaction was different when dealing with me and when dealing with the princess.
If she smiled at me, it would be like looking at a stone that a princess doesn’t need.
“Come and sit here. I have a car specially delivered for you.”
He told me to come in with him, but he guided me to my seat, excluding the princess from the conversation.
He made the princess sit where he told her to sit.
“Princess, please sit down.”
“I’m fine.”
The princess was embarrassed and looked back and forth between me and the crown prince.
I told her it was okay and sat down next to her.
“….”
The crown prince looked at me with a hard face.
