Episode 11
Ron’s expression also became a little more serious along with the chick.
It seemed like he was doing something so blatant and without any boundaries, but in reality it didn’t have much meaning.
It’s a bit embarrassing for me to introduce myself, but I’m surprisingly a proactive person.
They also call him the one who creates trouble.
Another way to say it is the very tiring style.
“… … I wonder who the security guard should protect and who the assassin should assassinate.”
It was a somewhat essential question, but I shook my head at this point.
“Think about it yourself. And the target of the assassination… … It’s simple if you think about it, right?”
“… … .”
“I’ll give you just one day.”
“One day?”
“Oh, I’m thinking of leaving the writer’s office tomorrow. So let’s decide by then.”
The conversation is over.
But the chick continued to sit there, absorbed in thought.
no.
“Now that we’re done talking, let’s go, Inma.”
“Ah… … Yes, I understand.”
So the chick left the gym, and Ron, who had been standing in the corner, approached me.
“Isn’t that too reckless?”
“what?”
“Do you trust that trainee reporter?”
I answered Ron’s question confidently.
“no.”
“… … Everything that happens here may reach the Marchioness’s ears.”
Despite Ron’s worried words, I just laughed.
“Your Highness. This is not the time to laugh. The Marchioness will be waiting. If she finds out that you are leaving tomorrow, who knows what she will do? She may pretend to be your escort and try to kill you. Aren’t you worried?”
Ron’s worries are not excessive.
but.
“I won’t die.”
Due to a minor conflict with my second child a few days ago, my second child still suffers from a fear of water.
It is certain that the Marchioness is plotting against me, but she cannot kill me.
The Marquis’ eyes were wide open, and he had not yet sold his sister to the place he wanted.
Of course, you’re going to kill me, the shackles that can tie my sister’s ankles?
That’s ridiculous.

Even though the Marquis’s appearance in reality is different from the rumors going around, he is not that stupid.
“Are you sure? The Marchioness won’t kill you?”
“The Marquis is alive and well, right? And her destination has already been decided, she’s going to the Academy. How can that stupid bitch kill me? She’ll probably just break my limbs. I’m sure the Marquis will agree to that. And.”
I paused for a moment and lightly ran one hand through my hair.
“No one in the world has been able to kill me, and a Marchioness like you can do it? Not the Dragon Lord, the Orc Lord, the Harpy Lord, or the Emperor of the Unified Empire. No one has been able to do it, and that’s all a bitch can do?”
Laughter breaks out.
Should I call it unbearable laughter?
The entire nation that tried to kill me came out, the entire forest of demons came out.
My enemy was not only the Tulcan Empire, but everything in this world except me, and I won that war.
I am.
“I will never die unless I want to die.”
Ron blankly stares at me as I make a show of being a douche.
Anyway, as I briefly mentioned earlier, in my previous life I ran away from the Marquis with Ron, and the Marquis sent his elite knights to catch me.
And they never told me to go back to being a Marquis, and as soon as they found Ron and me, they poured all kinds of magic on us, killing us.
That is, the Marquis doesn’t care what I do as long as I am in his grasp.
But if you make any move to get out of my hands, then I’ll kill you.
That’s the kind of person he is.
A man named Marquis Valantier.
“… … Is there something else you are thinking about?”
“Let’s say that’s true.”
Ron looks at me with a dumbfounded expression as I give him a small laugh.
“Anyway, if you’re really curious about what’s going to happen tomorrow, come and follow me.”
“… …Wasn’t I going with you?”
“Oh, no. Ron can’t come with me. Remember. You have to come ‘secretly.’ Stealthily. Okay?”
Ron looks puzzled at my words.
Then he nodded his head a couple of times.
Should I be honest?
I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
I should say it feels like a child going on a picnic.
“Before we leave, I must give our Marquis a good headache.”
Ron just tilted his head at me as I smiled brightly.
“Oh, and I’m going to create a second circle from now on, right? Please guard me so no one can enter.”

“… … Circle 2? That can’t be that easy, right?”
“It’s easy for me.”
Ron seemed truly speechless.

Chapter 4
James Cantar waiting in front of the Marchioness’s room.
His expression seemed calm, but his feelings were different.
‘Become a hunting dog? Do you really need to become a full-fledged knight or something?’
To be honest, I was embarrassed.
Rather than saying it’s because of the proposal, I should say that I don’t understand the power of the three princes.
‘Did you learn it at the academy? No, there wasn’t a single callus on the hands of the three Confucian scholars.’
Kanta’s mind is in a complicated state.
And the situation at that time was pictured in my head.
Jack clearly swung a wooden sword.
Looking at that, Kanta had this exact thought.
It’s sloppy.
It doesn’t seem like a lot of force was put into it, it just looks like it was swung lightly.
It was clearly a move that did not take into account the opponent’s physical difference at all.
So I just swung my sword lightly.
A wooden sword wielded by a 14-year-old child and a sword wielded by a trainee knight in his early to mid 20s.
What happened next was simple.
Due to the difference in physical size, Jack falls over on the spot and blows away the wooden sword he was holding, leaving him to look at himself in vain.
That future should have happened.
But Jack’s wooden sword, the one he had clearly struck, was pointed at his own neck.
Beyond imagination.
No, that’s something I never imagined.
I heard that he struck the sword at a certain time… … Oh, really. This isn’t a novel, is that possible?
I had doubts, but what could I do?
That’s what actually happened.
‘Is this what true talent is?’
It’s an unbelievable talent.
And what on earth does it look like when you raise your mana?
Is that what you can show with 1 circle of mana?
That’s impossible.
That can never happen.
This is a situation that cannot be explained using common sense.
Kanta eventually escaped reality.
‘At least 3 circles. Yes, it’s definitely 3 circles.’
I don’t know when I started building circles like that, but if I rationalized that I had some kind of genius talent, everything was simple.

Kanta was a man good at rationalizing.
The three Confuciuses are geniuses.
I admit that, but the question of whether or not you would become a hunting dog is beyond rationalization.
It was just, absurd.
‘Like this prince, he doesn’t have the overwhelming wealth of the Mantis family, nor do he have vassals or knights supporting him. The third prince has nothing. I admit that he is talented in swordsmanship and mana, but that alone is not enough for the third prince to become a marquis. No, if the third prince becomes a marquis, it will be even more serious. The Mantis family will not stay still.’
Suddenly, the words of the three Confucius came to mind.
– Assassination and security of key personnel.
Kanta’s expression instantly becomes serious.
‘The security is not certain, but the assassination is likely to be done by this prince or the Marchioness. But… … is it possible?’
Even if it were possible to assassinate the Marchioness or the Duke, what would happen after that?
At this moment, Kanta felt sorry for himself.
‘I was too swayed by the little kid’s words.’
There was no point in worrying any further.
Kanta concluded.
Let’s tell the Marchioness about the martial arts talents that the three princes possessed and all the conversations we had in the basement.
‘Come to think of it, this could actually be an opportunity for me.’
Before becoming a full-fledged knight, a chance to clearly catch the eye of the Marchioness, the Marquis, and this Prince Peyron.
In fact, no matter what, no matter how strong an individual may be, there is a limit to that.
An individual cannot defeat a group unless he or she possesses truly monstrous powers like those in a novel.
That’s common sense.
Kanta made a reasonable judgment and acted according to common sense.
Because I had no doubt that it would be more beneficial to me.
So at this moment, Kanta was smiling.
very.
happily.

Elizabeth sat quietly in her chair.
“Your mother, who was nothing more than a commoner, was very thankful that she gave you a ‘chance.’”
“… … .”
“Talent? The qualities that make you a great wizard? What does that matter? As long as you’re a member of the Marquis family, nothing else besides your face and body is of any use to you. Do you understand?”
Elizabeth, who had been talking privately with the Marchioness for the past thirty minutes, continued to nod as usual.
“Come to think of it, it seems like the eldest son of the Duke of Malone is interested in you, and the second son of the Duke of Ascension seems interested in you too, but it’s only the second son, tsk tsk. Besides that, I’ll continue looking for a marriage partner, so I hope you take good care of yourself.”
The body care that the Marchioness spoke of was actually nothing special.
“The knights who escorted you said there were no men, so I don’t think you need to worry about that. Do you have a man in mind?”
Elizabeth shook her head slightly.

“None? That must be a blessing. If there had been, it would have disappeared without anyone noticing.”
Elizabeth’s life was always like this.
A life without freedom, where everything from eating to sleeping was controlled.
The knights who pretended to be escorts not only watched Elizabeth’s every move, but also reported on her.
“Now that I think about it, the youngest one seems to have really shallow thoughts.”
“……yes?”
The Marchioness’s furrowed brow narrowed a little further.
“It seemed like he was trying to make one of the trainee knights his own, but he probably didn’t know that the knight was one of our second-generation supporters.”
Suddenly, the corners of the Marchioness’s mouth twitched and trembled.
It’s like he’s getting ready to laugh.
“How pathetic is that you are trying to ‘assassinate’ me with such a lowly knight. Hahaha.”
Finally, Elizabeth wanted to snap at the Marchioness, who burst into laughter, saying, “Isn’t it because of your mother that Jack developed such feelings in the first place?”, but she couldn’t.
The more this happens, the more pressure will be placed on Jack.
“Still, you’re lucky that you can communicate. As I said before, I’ll continue to look for a spouse, so be sure to behave yourself. Oh… … And I’ll say this again just in case. If you meet another man or do something like that… … Do you know what will happen?”
“Yes, I know.”
“Okay, then that’s fine.”
Having this kind of conversation with the Marchioness was almost a daily occurrence.
No kidding, it was almost brainwashing.
“We’ll be eating soon, so come down.”
“… … Yes, mother.”
