Chapter 137
Episode 137
The Third Prince’s words were absurd.
It was nothing to say to the person he was attacking as if he were going to kill him.
No, even if they were good people, there were very few people who would teach them politely if the person who was harassing them like crazy asked them to teach them something.
Who would be able to say to the person who was harassing them, ‘Yes, of course I have to teach them’?
At least I don’t.
“Why should I do that?”
“Uh… that is…”
The 3rd prince’s face darkened.
I could see him rolling his eyes and thinking about what happened when I said no.
I looked down at him as he lowered his head and continued speaking.
“I don’t like you. “Because as soon as you saw me, you couldn’t stop eating me.”
“Ah…”
“Would you be willing to help someone who has pushed you to your limit? The enemy is not like that.”
“….”
The 3rd prince kept his mouth shut and could not say anything.
The term karma is not there for nothing.
The 3rd prince is paying for his karma.
“And I don’t understand why you’re suddenly like this. “Didn’t you hate me until just a few days ago?”
“Hmm…”
The 3rd prince was unable to answer with his mouth closed.
He lowered his head pitifully and was only teasing his poor fingers.
“Even if you don’t ask me, aren’t there already great knights by your side?”
“But you are different from them!”
“What do you mean it’s different?”
“That…”
I wanted to say something, but then closed my mouth again.
At this point, I began to suspect that he was intentionally making me feel frustrated.
It was when I was in the middle of questioning him.
“Your Majesty, are you okay!”
“I heard you were taken away by that guy Raymond…!”
I saw knights coming into the room in a hurry.
Their hair and faces were wet with sweat, as if they had been looking for the entire count family.
“You bastard! How dare you try to assassinate His Highness Baan!”
“You’re crazy!”
The knights who spotted me in front of the crouching Third Prince shouted in anger.
‘What are those again?’
Even if there is a misunderstanding, I am firm in my mind. In the first place, I had no intention of killing the 3rd prince.
This is because I relieved a lot of my stress through sparring.
Nothing good would come of killing him, so why attack him because I’m crazy?
“We were talking… but I think you misunderstood something.”
In the first place, we were talking, not fighting.
It would be very unfair to say that someone is being murdered while we are having a conversation.
“conversation? You’re saying something ridiculous! “If we were having a normal conversation, there’s no way Your Highness would be crying!”
“You really have to be crazy to make His Majesty cry!”
This is some bullshit again.
No matter how bad the conversation with him was, it wasn’t enough to make me cry.
You may feel bad, but you can still move on smoothly from the bad mood.
Knights appear and try to ruin it all.
“stop!”
When the knights were about to draw their swords, the 3rd prince shouted at them.
The knights trembled and stopped in their tracks.
“Prince Hua?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
The knights are embarrassed.
They only moved for the sake of the 3rd prince, but the 3rd prince, who was supposed to take their side, did not take their side.
“Can’t you see we’re talking now?”
Wiping away his tears with his sleeve, he glared at the knights with venomous eyes.
The knights had no idea how to take this, so they just looked at each other.
“I’m sorry. “I will apologize on behalf of the drivers for their rudeness.”
The knights’ eyes widened at the sight of him bowing his head to me.
He was the third prince whose pride made him never bow his head or bend his knees except for the three emperors.
I couldn’t help but be surprised when the man who spoke ill of his brothers bowed his head to me, who had a lower rank than him and had beaten him to the ground.
“Why, Your Majesty!”
“Why are you bowing your head!”
The knights shouted at the 3rd prince with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
It was like a terrible nightmare where one’s master bows down to the bastard who ignored and put down his master.
“Shut up and get out! “I didn’t call you guys!”
They, who had now turned into bastards, looked at the 3rd prince blankly, as if they had lost their minds.
“If Master gets angry, will you take responsibility?”
No, there. Since when did I become your teacher?
“Master was embarrassed because of you!”
I was embarrassed because of you.
What kind of situation is this again? The 3rd prince, who couldn’t even say a word to me, made me his teacher, even though I never said he would, and was pushing the knights.
‘I don’t think this is a bad feeling…’
It felt good to see the knights who had been messing with me, along with the 3rd prince, bowing their heads, but it felt strange to become a teacher without permission.
I thought I had refused, but that wasn’t the case.
“Hehehe. teacher. “That’s enough now, right?”
“…Since when did I become your teacher?”
“That…”
The third prince realized that he had made a mistake and rolled his eyes.
Then he closed his eyes tightly and shouted.
“I fell in love!”
That’s difficult in its own way.
***
I left the place, telling the 3rd prince that I would think about it.
His bright face, waiting for good news, flashed before my eyes.
I was perplexed that a person could change so much in an instant.
And I was taken aback twice by the fact that he had changed to like me.
“I knew you would come, but you were a little late this time.”
William said, shuffling through documents.
I wanted to know what kind of guy the 3rd prince was, so I came to see him.
I thought that if I knew his past, I would be able to understand his changes in mind and how to deal with them.
“Are you curious about the Third Prince?”
William always had a knack for surprising me.
I couldn’t help but admire the way he knew in advance what I was coming for and prepared in advance.
When I nodded, he took out a few sheets from the pile of papers he was shuffling and came over to me.
“You came at just the right time. “The investigation was completed last night.”
“Seeing the bad expression on your face, I guess there’s something wrong with you.”
“It’s the opposite. It’s so clean. “It’s amazing.”
“what?”
William clicked his tongue as he looked through the documents containing information about the 3rd prince.
What he means by ‘clean’ is that nothing comes out even if you brush up on corruption.
What they were saying was that the 3rd prince lived a very honest life, contrary to his behavior, but it was hard to believe that.
“Is it that clean?”
“yes. “Of all the nobles and royal families I’ve seen, I can say they are the cleanest.”
“That much?”
“yes. Honestly, I was a bit surprised. Most people in power make mistakes, but the 3rd prince did nothing like that. So I investigated to see if other royal family members were like that too, but that wasn’t the case either.”
Saying that, he reached out and grabbed the stack of papers on the desk.
It was so massive that it could easily fit in one’s hand.
“These are the things that came out to the other royal family members except for the 3rd prince. From simple to dirty. The more I dug, the more I found. “I think it will take more time to sort this out.”
He clicked his tongue as he tapped a stack of documents.
This was a normal reaction.
No matter how clean a noble looks, except for a very few, dust comes out when you brush your hair.
And the higher the title goes, the more and more dust there is.
“This is really awesome. “Compared to others, it’s like pure water.”
William did not spare his admiration.
They say people like this are rare and it’s a big hit.
I have a hard time accepting that.
I can’t believe such a clean guy did that to me.
“But there is one problem. “It is said to be a severe lack of affection.”
“what?”
“That’s literally it. It is said that he was always ignored by his father, the emperor, and his mother died immediately after giving birth to him. “They said he was raised by a nanny, but even that nanny said that he was killed by an intruder when he was 10 years old.”
“….”
“You could say he was a pitiful person. “The worst outcome was always death or maiming for the person who was with him.”
It’s a somewhat familiar story.
‘Same as Daria…’
She was also ostracized by her own family, and those who came close to her always faced disastrous results.
“Maybe that’s why they reject others, but funny enough, they hope that others will approach them. So, when I talk to the maids, I end up getting angry.”
“….”
“More than anything, they say I am simply ignorant, perhaps because I grew up in such a family environment. “They believe and act only on what they see.”
He said many other things, but they were all praise for the third prince.
“That’s enough. “I don’t think I need to hear any more.”
Listening further seemed meaningless.
Anyway, the meaning of what was said was the same.
“I’m going to turn.”
It was harder to stay still after hearing these words.
“I had a hard time doing the research. “I will go.”
“Please don’t be too cautious.”
“…?”
“Because it might be helpful to us.”
He saw me off with a meaningful smile.
The 3rd prince was still following me around.
He looked at me with expectant eyes, as if he was waiting for my answer.
“Haa….”
It became difficult to refuse.
If he had been a bad guy, I wouldn’t have even worried about this, but through William, I realized that he was just a child.
I am worried because I know that rehabilitation is possible if we tell people what is right and what is wrong.
I gathered my thoughts while feeling the gaze of the 3rd prince.
He said if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.
If you can’t avoid the 3rd prince, you can benefit from him.
“Your Highness Baan.”
“Did you call Boo?”
The 3rd prince hesitated and stood in front of me.
Behind him, the knights were glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.
I scratched the back of my head and sighed.
“Even if it’s impossible to teach the sword, I think I can watch the sword a little bit from the side.”
“Really?”
The 3rd prince’s face brightened.
He clenched his fists and expressed his happiness.
“But there is a condition.”
“huh?”
“If you don’t meet these conditions, it will be difficult for me to help you.”
“What is it? Just say anything! Is there anyone you don’t like? “If there is, I will take care of it!”
I shook my head at his willingness to deal with anyone.
I could use him to get rid of those who bothered me, but it wasn’t the time to go that far yet.
Although William reported it, I felt I had to see it with my own eyes to believe it.
This is why first impressions of people are important.
If your first impression is not good, you will not be trusted no matter what you do afterwards.
“What should I do?”
When he asked me to do something, he hit me on the forehead.
“First, correct your informal speech.”
“uh?”
He looked at me blankly while rubbing my forehead.
