Episode 177
Notice… … .
The proverb “Riding a tiger” comes to mind.
It was probably a situation where he was riding a tiger.
“So that’s why people looked at me like I was a monster.”
“Did you notice?”
Outside of the Ascendant Domain, there are quite a few people who don’t know my face, but it’s different inside the Academy.
If someone at the Academy can’t guess my name when they see my face, they’re either a spy from the Cradle Kingdom in the southwestern corner or someone who’s been holed up in the mountains.
Actually, I didn’t care at first.
I thought he was just surprised by the appearance of our teacher next to me, but it turned out he wasn’t.
The kids at the Academy would either look scared at the sight of me or gulp, but they would never come near me.
It wasn’t supposed to come originally, but it was a bit serious, so I looked into it and came to this conclusion.
“The emergence of a new force that far surpasses the power of the two dukes… … The power of that force is so ridiculous that it can even face and defeat the power of a nation… … In such a situation, the territory that has been taken over in the past month under the name of ‘Valantier’ exceeds two… … Even the Mantis Counts have a gold mine… … A monstrous family that is self-sufficient.”
Depending on the perspective, the left and right positions may differ, but one thing is certain.
Those who know will think this way.
“A rebellion that began silently, that’s what it would look like.”
“Leave it alone, the old man will take care of it.”
There was a reason why I wasn’t that famous, even though I had been running wild at the academy, subduing the Master Matapju, and doing all sorts of other things.
The inspiration was right behind me, covering for me without me knowing.
The skill to put all the rumors to rest and divert attention by raising another issue.
I didn’t know, but our father-in-law was quite skilled in that area.
Should I say that it is better than Mazar Teslan?
So I wasn’t famous, but things are different now.
No way.
Because something happened that couldn’t be hidden.
An army of 5,000 and four masters isn’t even the name of a dog house.
How do you hide this?
Of course I don’t mind.
I never intended to hide it in the first place, so why bother worrying about it now?
Just then, I was about to turn around and walk away.
Gray asks from behind.
“If only.”
“if?”
“What would you do if General Rommel or the King tried to assassinate the Prince?”
The funniest thing I’ve heard lately was when a trainee knight from the Marquis’ house offered to be my swordsmanship teacher.

But now.
That line coming out of Gray’s mouth is funnier than what I just mentioned.
I turned my head slightly and looked at our teacher.
You said you had no attachment to Tesla, but I’m not sure.
Is it really not there?
however.
Even if that happens, I can’t do anything about it.
“I have to erase it. ‘Earlier than scheduled.’”
Someone is messing with you, but you just let it go?
There’s a guy trying to kill you, but you quietly tell him to let him go?
That’s not it.
He turned around with a smiling face.
As I walked towards the villa, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
Can something like that really happen?
‘Surely you can’t be that stupid.’
If there is someone within the Teslan Kingdom who is trying to kill me as Gray said, then that person is not only stupid, but brainless.
This is definitely true.
That too is a sincerity that comes from deep within the bones.
Then he stopped walking for a moment and turned his head.
“I forgot, where did you bury that ‘Exile’ body?”
“I buried it in a shady spot behind the villa.”
“okay?”
“Do you need it?”
He nodded.
“I have someone to send a gift to.”
“… … A gift?”
We didn’t talk for long.
“I think I know where it is, the shady spot behind the villa. Okay. Good luck.”
“… … That, Confucius?”
“why?”
“That’s pretty deep.”
“How much does it cost?”

Gray smiles awkwardly.
“It’s about 100 meters.”
“… … Not 10 meters?”

“Didn’t I tell you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m good at digging.”
Oh, ‘that shovel’ was ‘that shovel’?
I burst out laughing.
Chapter 3
Jack’s position was already at the top of the Teslan Kingdom, or even higher.
Present value, future value.
That’s the value of all of it combined.
Anyone with common sense would try to embrace or get close to such a jack.
Because that’s really the most basic of the basics.
But there are all kinds of people in the world, and furthermore, is the world really the world if it goes as you want?
Right now, something was happening in the castle of the Teslan Kingdom that would make Jack burst out laughing.
“What do you think? Shouldn’t we form an assassination squad and kill him now before it’s too late?”
“Who are you talking about killing, Your Majesty?”
Magyar Teslan.
The mushrooms had bloomed more than before, and the eyes filled with desire had become even more cloudy.
Rommel Einhard Assenble, sitting opposite, must have felt that way.
Next.
Magyar Teslan’s eyes glow menacingly.
“Who could it be? Jack Valantier. That’s him.”
“… … .”
“You damn bastard, you’re waging a war on my land without any official documents? The Margraviate of Hermann… … That’s my land. The king owned all the land in the first place and ‘delegated’ me to manage it, but now he’s ignoring everything. So.”
Rommel raised his head.
A conversation between an old man and an old woman.
But one old man was so old that he looked pathetic, while the other one was so old that he looked upon him with pity.
Rommel could tell what Magyar Teslan was going to say next.
“Please give some support to the Ascendant family.”
“… … .”
“If your son, the captain of the royal guard, along with the elite knights of the duke’s family and the ‘guardian knights’ I’ve been secretly raising, join us, we might be able to kill him.”
Then suddenly he shakes his head.
“No, it’s not that they might exist, they can definitely kill them. How many knights are left in the Ascendible Duke’s household right now?”
Rommel slowly closed his eyes.
Magyar, the time I spent with him was never short.
A whopping 40 years in terms of number of times.

At one time, they were close friends, at another time, they were scholars who discussed the future without hesitation, and at another time, they were comrades who shared the same desire to make the small kingdom of Teslan even more prosperous.
Rommel could not forget the intelligent look in Magyar’s eyes when he was in his twenties.
I never forgot it for a single moment.
Because back then, Mazar was really shining.
But now.
There is no Mazar at that time.
Since when did it start?
‘Did I really not know this?’
That can’t be true.
I haven’t been involved in politics for just a day or two, and I haven’t been seeing people for just a day or two.
It is impossible not to know that the one who was shining has lost his light and is rotting away without knowing his own situation.
I just wanted to pretend not to know.
“Why are you silent? Rommel, why do you dare to disregard the king’s words now?”
Rommel’s eyes slowly open.
“Hey, Mar.”
For a moment, Magyar’s body froze.
Mar.
It was a nickname Rommel used when he was young.
Magyar once again showed an unexpected reaction to the nickname he heard after decades.
“How dare you! I am the king! How dare you speak the king’s name in vain! Rommel, are you truly… …”
“Magic Teslan!!”
A startled Magyar.
“Ji… … What Jim just said… … .”
“How so.”
“… … .”
“How did you fall so low?”
Magyar was speechless.
Because Rommel’s body was overflowing with an intimidating force that the Magyars could not even dream of.
“Jack Valantier, kill that man? He killed four masters and over 10,000 troops by himself. You’re going to kill that man? How on earth? Beyond the method, he’s now an enemy of the Teslan Kingdom. So why kill him? And… … Hoo.”
Rommel took a moment to catch his breath.
This was a habit I had while living as a politician.
Whenever emotions arise, take a deep breath to calm them down.
Because there’s nothing more stupid than doing something wrong because you’re caught up in your emotions.
Rommel took a deep breath and spoke quietly.
“The dream you and I shared when we were young. The belief that we would make the Teslan Kingdom prosperous, the belief that we would create a world where the people could live with smiles. That child is an opportunity. If you are with that child and walk with that child, at least the path you are walking on will open up, so how dare you kill him, sigh.”

Into Rommel’s ear as he sighed deeply.
“… … Rommeeeeel!! You punk!! How dare you toy with my luggage!!”
Magyar’s voice is heard, mixed with anger.
But Rommel just sighed.
“Since you still don’t seem to know, I’ll tell you something. That child is the disciple of a great hero from the past.”
“A load of… …!! What? A hero from the past?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know. Valentine Milos. There’s no way you wouldn’t know that name. It’s ‘Teslan.’”
Magyar Teslan’s eyes widen.
Why is that name mentioned here? That was exactly the expression on his face.
Now this guy is really messing with me.
Just then, Magyar, who had been making that expression, was about to shout again.
“Valentine Milos, he is still alive. He who ruled the world with the first ancestor and created all the paths and all the backgrounds for the establishment of the Teslan Empire. Do you know what he said about our country now?”
“… … .”
“You said it was a trash can.”
Couldn’t I hear any more than that?
Magyar slams his hand on the desk.
Kuung-!
“Don’t talk nonsense! How can that bitch who died 400 years ago still be alive today! Unless she’s immortal… … No, wait, immortal… … Oh my.”
Extreme emotional changes.
Rommel looked at Magyar Teslan in silence.
“Living for 400 years… … Yes, that’s it. She had the secret to immortality. Haha, there was no need to get involved with the Tulcan Empire. The clue was so close by.”
Just as the Ascendible Duke’s family has ‘records of the past’, the Teslan royal family also has records of the past.
And the record is more specific than that of the Ascension Family.
However, Magyar was calling Valentine, the great hero, ‘that girl’.
In reality, it is impossible not to know that Julius Teslan was merely a comrade of the great hero and did not actually do anything, yet this is the reaction.
Rommel let out a small sigh.
Into his ear like that.
“Yes, you’re right. I was mistaken. Hahaha… … Then I guess I should propose marriage right away. The disciple of the great hero? After all, he’s the youngest of the Marquis family. He’d be happy if I proposed marriage to our princess, right? Haha.”
It was a voice so gentle that you wouldn’t have guessed that he had been throwing a tantrum just a moment ago.
It’s really incomprehensible by common sense.
What on earth can make a person so ugly?
