Chapter 65
Episode 65
The crown prince was silent for a moment.
The knights looked at the crown prince with great nervousness.
The crown prince’s personality is fiery.
If he doesn’t like something, he will throw a tantrum, and if he doesn’t get something, he will try to destroy it.
That’s why the crown prince’s other nickname is Berserker, which speaks volumes about his personality.
Raymond, who had just left the room, behaved so boldly that it would not be strange to call his behavior arrogant.
He made eye contact with the crown prince as if he would not lose and even used aurors to withstand the knights’ momentum.
The crown prince and other knights didn’t know, but he, a sword expert, could feel it.
At first, I thought it was some kind of trick and was furious, but when I realized it was to protect myself, I let go.
‘He definitely has skills.’
Did you say you were 18?
It was surprising that he had awakened to Auror at that age, but his operational skills were incredible.
The Auror’s operation was so smooth that even he would not have noticed it unless he was concentrating on him.
No, that’s not important now.
The question was how the crown prince would react.
Now the crown prince was very quiet, unlike usual.
It felt like a strong storm was coming all at once, like before the storm.
Wiggle.
At that time, the crown prince’s frozen body moved.
All the knights trembled at that.
How will the Crown Prince vent his anger this time?
Last time, I pulled out a knife and swung it.
As they were all knights dealing with Aurors, no one was injured, but the maid’s arm was cut off.
Although she received treatment right away, the maid suffered from trauma after that and had to quit her job.
That was the case recently, so what kind of fuss will there be this time?
Everything else is good, so it would be better if you just don’t swing the sword.
If you break something, you can compensate, but there’s nothing more difficult than if someone gets hurt.
“haha
?
The knights’ eyes turn to the crown prince’s mouth.
“ha ha ha!”
The knights looked at him in bewilderment as he suddenly burst out laughing.
I thought he would be angry, but when he started laughing, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Why are you laughing?
“Puhahahaha!”
Finally, he started rolling around on the sofa, holding his stomach.
How should I react to this?
“Haha… this guy is such a pain in the ass!”
The crown prince’s voice sounded joyful.
“hey. “Are you sure there’s a rumor going around that he’s an incompetent idiot?”
“yes.”
“Do you think that rumor matches that guy?”
“….”
The driver could not answer that question.
Do you think I’m an incompetent idiot?
The answer to that question was ‘yes’ and ‘no’.
If you ask me if I’m crazy, the answer is ‘yes’.
Unless he was an asshole, there was no way he could act like that towards the crown prince.
Moreover, the way he spoke showed no respect for the crown prince.
“In my opinion, I think the word ‘incompetence’ is incorrect.”
“I think so.”
Being incompetent is wrong.
The Raymond they saw now was by no means incompetent.
To begin with, using an Auror at that age was far from incompetent.
It makes more sense to say they are lazy than incompetent.
“It doesn’t make sense for a person to suddenly change… So that means you’ve been acting all this time.”
The crown prince crossed his legs and stroked his chin.
“I played an incompetent idiot for 10 years. No, not to mention being an idiot, it means you are acting incompetent.”
haha. The crown prince laughed happily.
It was the face of a child facing a fun toy.
“At that time… that’s right. “It was at a time when the Millennium House had declared neutrality and was under great pressure.”
Count Millennium became the Grand Wizard and immediately said he would remain neutral.
Because of that, the Millennium Count family was harassed a lot by the surrounding nobles for a while.
The nobles were not willing to let their power continue to grow.
But then an incident occurred.
The eldest grandson of Count Warrug suffered a serious accident.
From then on, Raymond behaved like an asshole.
And he acted like he had no talent.
Even those who didn’t believe it at first began to believe it after more than 10 years.
The imprint that he was an incompetent idiot was engraved in my head.
And funnily enough, at that time, the Millennium Count family was well established.
He has become so powerful that the royal family cannot touch him.
“Now that I think about it, it was during the banquet that I started to reveal myself this time.”
When he turned 18.
He revealed himself in a surprising way.
A talent for swords, not magic.
‘But it’s not like you can become an Auror for a day or two.’
This means that Raymond already knows his talent and has been cultivating his strength without anyone knowing.
And as a result, he awakened his Aura and became a sword expert at the age of 18.
And now he has decided that it is okay to reveal himself.
“That’s interesting.”
I got goosebumps.
Didn’t you plan all that when you were young?
How detailed is it?
I liked everything about him, even the confidence with which he refused to listen to what the Crown Prince said.
“I have something I’ve been wanting for a long time.”
The crown prince looked at the spot where Raymond was with greedy eyes.
***
“Hmm.”
Two blue crystal balls.
However, one had a gold base and the other had a passionate red base.
Received from the crown prince and first princess.
It was a communication tool given to them to contact them when they needed help.
Of course, there is a price to pay for the help, but it will definitely be helpful in the future.
“I didn’t know you would show this much interest.”
I understand.
This is a time when power is needed.
Plus, I’m a sword user.
In terms of talent, he is the best, or even better.
“Do you have any concerns?”
“I’m worried. “The problem is how to use it.”
Although it is a nuisance that the royals are interested.
There was a lot I could gain.
What I get varies greatly depending on what I do.
“I’ll have to decide this later.”
I can’t decide now.
There was nothing to gain from them right now.
So it’s better to get it when you really need it.
I handed over the communication port to Ellis and headed to Mahol and Reina.
I had to make sure they were ready because I had to leave tomorrow.
“Ah, Raymond!”
Reina, seeing me, smiled brightly and raised her head.
He even waved at me with a very happy face.
I smiled slightly at her and looked around the room.
Since the two of us lived together and had very little luggage, cleaning up didn’t take too long or be difficult.
All you need is two magic pouches with expansion magic.
Considering that one magic bag can hold about 100 liters of water, it is safe to think that there is no baggage.
“Are you finished cleaning up?”
“yes. “It’s almost over.”
“I didn’t have much luggage.”
Because I threw away everything I already had. I smiled bitterly at the words she said in a whisper.
What already existed. That meant used items from the dump.
He closed his mouth for a moment, then opened his mouth again and spoke.
“Thank you for following my opinion.”
When I was ordained a knight, I had to leave the academy.
But unlike me, they did not graduate.
It was normal to remain at the academy.
It shouldn’t be like that.
Since I had to take them with me, I offered them an opinion.
Dropping out.
And if they refused, I had no intention of dragging them by force.
Even though it might take a long time, I planned to wait until they graduated.
“no.”
“We were indebted to Raymond. “This is nothing to repay that favor.”
Raina’s clear words made me smile.
At first, I thought it was simply an additional bonus to obtaining Mahol.
But as time passes, she is doing her part even though she is weak.
This was especially true in Mahol’s mental aspect.
In addition, perhaps because of the treatment, it became much brighter.
‘It’s amazing.’
There was a limit to what I could do for Mahol.
Raina fills in that missing part.
So it has to be special.
“Because we’re leaving tomorrow. “Please know in advance.”
“yes.”
“I’ll prepare it.”
I waved at them and left the room.
***
I graduated from the academy.
I have never personally contacted the count’s family, nor was I asked to do so.
But strangely enough, carriages and drivers bearing the Millennium emblem were waiting outside the city.
“what. Ellis, did you contact me?”
“no. The master told me not to do it. “I haven’t contacted you yet.”
She too was confused.
Looking at that, I don’t think it’s a lie.
I didn’t even tell him about the graduation ceremony, so the Count doesn’t even know that I’m graduating this year.
But how can it come on time?
‘Oh, I guess he’s the principal.’
If it is not Ellis, there is only one answer.
Principal.
He must have sent a letter directly to the Millennium Count.
When cadets from the academy graduate, teachers sometimes send letters to their families.
This time, the letter must have been sent directly by the principal.
“young master. “Let’s get in.”
One of the knights approached me and said:
Vice leader.
The knight who glared at me along with the knight commander.
He was now looking at me with strange eyes.
I looked at him intently and opened my mouth.
“What are you doing now?”
“yes?”
He was taken aback by my words.
I said as I took a step closer to him.
“I asked what are you doing now?”
“Oh, that’s…”
“I’ve never ordered you to do anything like this. “I never asked you to come visit me in the first place.”
The driver kept his mouth shut like a mute who had just been fed honey.
“Wow, that’s really annoying. “I was going to have a drink and have some fun in the time I had left.”
The driver’s face hardened at my next words.
And then I realized that I was a mess.
“What are you doing. Doesn’t it turn off? “Don’t look for me before I call.”
“But the head of the family.”
“Father what? So what.”
When I glared at him, he winced and broke into a cold sweat.
As I looked at it, I went out even stronger.
What do you mean there was an order from the head of the family?
They say I won’t go.
“So you’re going to drag me away by force? “Can you do it?”
His face turned red as he laughed bitterly while holding the handle of the sword.
But I didn’t move hastily.
The image of me defeating the youngest knight still remained in his mind.
“I see you are ignoring what I said. “It looks like your skills have improved a lot?”
“sorry.”
The vice-captain bows his head.
Seeing him like that makes me feel a little sorry.
But I couldn’t help it.
If I didn’t do this, I had no choice but to return to my family.
So, I had to become such an idiot and not let him touch me at all.
“I’ll go in on my own. “Don’t do anything foolish and go back.”
“But…”
“Go back.”
“…yes.”
The vice-captain reluctantly nodded.
If things continue like this, I will definitely be broken by the knight commander and also by the count.
What can I do? I have no intention of going back now.
“Oh and this. “I told the knight commander that it was well used and that he have it repaired. It wasn’t even used much and it had a crack.”
“Yes…”
“Then goodbye.”
The vice-captain glanced at me and got on his horse.
And so he moved, kicking the horse’s stomach.
