An imperial swordsman and 3rd generation family.
Eileen Lindell, the princess of the Lindell family, was engrossed in sword training at the Hanchang family’s training hall again today.
The dark aura surrounding the sword proved that her achievements were by no means shallow.
How many times did that repeat?
“Eilen.”
“Ah, father.”
At the Duke’s voice, she lowered the sword she was holding.
The Duke looked around with his eyes and spoke to her.
“After that day, was there any reaction from Mikhail Walpurgis?”
“There wasn’t any. “There’s no way that idiot would have noticed in the first place.”
At those words, the duke nodded with a dark expression.
“I think so too. “One thing, you never know.”
“But when Michael came to visit me two days ago, there was no sign of that at all.”
Mikhail Walpurgis really wasn’t to her taste in many ways. She was indecisive, weak and had no confidence in herself.
He is not the right partner for her.
“It’s not like your father seriously thought of him as my opponent in the first place, right?”
“That was it. “But I only did it because if the Marquis of Walpurgis found out about it, he could be in trouble in many ways.”
The duke was sure.
No matter how Marquis Walpurgis is known as a master of magic, it is impossible to identify the magic tool installed on his daughter.
But why?
Strangely, I had a bad feeling.
“Besides, a few days ago, Count Paslov proposed an engagement to our family.”
“It did.”
“If you count the possibilities, I think Lian Parslov, who is renowned as the next generation swordsman, is a wiser choice.”
Ryan Parsloff.
The only heir to the Count Paslov family and a sword genius who is called the next generation of sword masters.
In many ways, he was an opponent several times better than Mikhail Walpurgis.
“Yes, an envoy from the Count Paslov family is scheduled to come today. Among them will be Ryan Parsloff.”
“Good for you.”
Eilen’s eyes lit up.
Isn’t this a chance to see the rumored next-generation swordsman in person?
At that time, a look came to the Duke’s eyes when he saw the sword his daughter was holding. He looked at his daughter with strange eyes.
“Could it be that you are already able to contain aura?”
“Yes, I only just realized it, but I’m sure.”
As she said that, she wrapped the auror around her sword.
“Huh, definitely… … .”
The duke had no intention of using Eilen simply as a tool for an arranged marriage. Was there any reason to use her daughter, who had such genius talent, so vainly?
But that was then.
“dismissal.”
A knight hurriedly came to the duke and bowed.
“Wow, has the Count Paslov family already arrived?”
“Well, that’s not it.”
“… … hmm?”
The duke frowned.
If it’s not the Count Paslov family, what on earth is it?
“Well, it’s Walpurgis.”
“… … hmm?”
“I came from the Marquis Walpurgis.”
“… … ?!”
The father and daughter’s eyes widened at the same time.
* * *
“Wow, you really came.”
The butler looked at the main gate of the Duke’s house with an expression of complete despair.
There was something about the Duke’s house that was truly overwhelming just by looking at it.
“… … Master, is this really okay?”
“Oh, it’s okay. butler. Straighten your shoulders confidently. “Don’t be scared for no reason.”
Of course, despite my words, the butler still did not look relieved.
“No, no matter what, you went straight to the Duke’s house after something like that happened… … .”
“I have to go straight.”
In the meantime, if you do something useless at the Duke’s house, it’s a problem.
And most importantly… … .
‘Today, the Count Paslov family is visiting the Duke family.’
Count Parslov.
This is the family that Lian Parslov, who is in the spotlight as the next generation of swordsmen, belongs to, and is a prominent family that will later rise to the ranks of ducal families.
… … Well, anyway.
Among them, Rian is one of the people I have a connection with before my return. She was hoping to meet someone as quickly as possible.
Isn’t it true that two families who had business at hand gathered in one place on their own accord?
Of course this had to be done quickly.

“By the way, Master, what do you plan to do when you meet the princess? Unless you have solid evidence, it won’t be easy.”
The butler continued.
“Honestly, it is true that the master was crying and crying while holding on to the hem of the princess’s skirt, and it was a bit… … Isn’t it obvious that she was very obsessed? There is no way there is a card that can overturn that… … .”
“I heard there is, butler.”
Just have some faith.
How have you been deceived?
“It’s a problem because I was deceived and survived.”
“… … .”
I think it was like that.
It’s been a while so I can barely remember this.
“are you okay. “It’s real this time.”
“… … But again, don’t try too hard. “I’m worried that if I go in with a lot of momentum, I might end up finding out my weakness.”
“I told you not to worry? In the first place, I have no intention of doing much to the Duke family. “I will take what I have to take.”
I have no intention of destroying Eilen or anything like that. Before returning, a lot had happened.
… … okay.
So many things that even my resentment or hatred towards her disappears.
“please… … .”
The butler nodded at my words with a relieved expression.
And around that time, the door to the dukedom that had been tightly closed opened.
“Prince Michael.”
The driver looked at me with a blunt expression and said.
“So, did you get the message?”
“Yes, but His Excellency said he had a schedule today and could not answer.”
“Oh yeah?”
Well, I guess so. I wasn’t surprised because I had already expected it.
“I’m truly sorry, but I hope you’ll wait for another opportunity.”
“Of course.”
I turned my back without any regrets.
Well, what can I do if the owner says he can’t do it? We are not engaged anymore, and there is no way I can force it.
“Well, master? Are you really going to just go? What, I heard you have a card or something?!”
“Butler, just follow me.”
After saying that, I sat down under the tree in front of the main gate of the Duke’s house.
The driver who spoke to me frowned and asked.
“What are you doing now?”
“What are you doing? I’m just taking a break. Do you know how far it is from our family to here? “No matter how much space-travel magic you have, you get tired.”
“Uh, um… … .”
“Can’t we just take a break? “It’s not like I’m planning on staying here for several days.”
At my words, the driver rolled his eyes with a complicated expression.
Just by looking at it, I could see all kinds of calculations going on in my head.
Well, of course. Why is it obvious?
‘Count Paslov will be arriving soon.’
It will arrive within today at the latest.
‘The important thing is that Ryan Parsloff knows nothing.’
The next generation of swordsmen.
A man who honestly sells his sword regardless of family politics.
That’s Ryan Parsloff.
Naturally, he is not particularly interested in what happened to the family he is going to meet or what the situation is.
However, just one thing.
‘I really hate things that go against commercial ethics.’
Simply put, it is a just personality. Of course, unilaterally asking her to break off the engagement is absolutely unacceptable.
Am I making a fuss?
If so, the duke would also know well that nothing good would ever happen.
After a while, the driver came towards me, probably because he had heard something, and put his hand on my shoulder as if he was going to force me to go.
“Mikhail, I will guide you on the way back. First of all, here… … .”
But at that moment.
“Hands off.”
I quietly glared at the driver.
Shocked, the knight’s fingertips trembled.
I could clearly guess what he thought of me.
In fact, it was probably like that until a few days ago.
But not anymore.
I had no intention of being the victim of such a prank.
“No matter how unilaterally the engagement was broken off, I was once the fiancé of the princess you served and am the rightful successor to Walpurgis.”
“… … !”
The driver’s face turned pale at my words. I remember the name of this article.
“Knight, McCain. I will ask. “Are you so great that you would touch Walpurgis’ body?”
“… … no.”
I slowly showed my momentum to McCain, who responded like that. My current level is only Circle 4, but my soul is different.
I am the great mage of the 9th circle.
As I pressed McCain with force, his face turned pale.
“Uh, ugh… … ?!”
“If you want to get me out of here, I’ll give you the simplest answer.”
He said while glaring at McCain.
“Tell Eilender to come right away.”
“… … !”
“Stop making unnecessary and irrelevant remarks, right away.”
* * *
‘W-what kind of guy’s eyes… … .’
McCain felt momentarily stiff and exhaled.
I couldn’t admit it.
He must be a man with nothing other than the family name ‘Walpurgis’.
The fact that Mikhail Walpurgis was a famous halfpun even within his own family was quite well known.
Just a few days ago, Mikhail couldn’t even breathe properly in front of him.
But now… … .
“Tell Eilender to come right away.”
Michael was glaring at him with fierce eyes.
It was my first time knowing that those bright red eyes could be so fierce.
I knew it intuitively.
That it’s not your job to solve.
He turned to the duke again, as if possessed by something.
“… … You told Eilender to come? “You mean that Michael?”
“Yes that’s right.”
At those words, the Duke sighed as if he was uncomfortable.
A normal opponent would have kicked them out by force right away.
The problem is that, even if you don’t know Mikhail, the Walpurgis family is by no means a family that can be taken lightly.
furthermore… … .
‘Somehow I don’t have a good feeling.’
I was suspicious that there might be a reason why Mikhail was so strong.
“It’s difficult. The Count Paslov family will come here soon… … .”
“If you command me, I will send it back, even if it means using a little force.”
“No, I don’t think that’s a problem that can be solved.”
What should I do?
The duke sighed. But at that time, Eilen, who had been listening to the whole story, came forward.
“I’ll try going out.”
“… … “You mean that?”
“Yes, my goal is for Mikhail anyway, so all I have to do is send him back like before.”
She got up as if it wasn’t that difficult.
“Lord McCain, you said you were waiting in front of the main gate, right?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Please guide me.”
At those words, McCain paused for a moment. I felt like I had to say something.
“Um, princess… … ?”
“Is there something wrong?”
“That is… … .”
He hesitated for a moment.
Maybe we shouldn’t think about Michael from a few days ago right now.
It’s a little different somewhere.
but… … .
“… … no.”
Soon, he shook his head.
I think it may have simply been my illusion… … .
“Please go.”
He and Eilen headed to where Mikhail was waiting.
