Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Chapter 63

Episode 63:

The knight who came with the crown prince knelt on one knee and handed the sword to him as if supporting it with both hands.

The crown prince said as he held up the sword.

“Raymond Millennium, be polite.”

As the knight before him did, he put his left knee forward and his right leg back, placed his left hand on his left knee, and lowered his right hand to the ground.

Tuk.

The sword held by the crown prince tapped my left shoulder.

Tuk.

Tap your right shoulder again.

Tuk.

He taps my head and tells me to raise my head.

I accepted the sword he held out with both hands.

“Please take care of me in the future. “Treasure of the kingdom.”

The smile he smiled at me was creepy.

An expression as if looking at someone else’s coveted treasure.

It looked as if the treasure would be taken away at any moment.

That doesn’t mean I should be intimidated.

The more confident you must be.

If you show even the slightest gap, you will be punished.

I made eye contact with him for a moment.

Is it not for nothing that he is not the crown prince? For a moment, an unusual energy emanated from his body.

It wasn’t enough to be called a king, but it wasn’t something that an ordinary person could surpass.

An intimidating feeling that only those who have it can see.

Anyone who sees the crown prince for the first time will be intimidated by the weight and intimidation of the name, even if he is a powerful knight.

“We will try to live up to your expectations.”

He bowed his head slightly and came down from the podium.

I felt a burning gaze on the back of my head, but I tried to ignore it.

Then I looked back at the first princess, who was in the midst of appointing an official wizard.

“...!”

I was a little surprised when I made eye contact with her.

I looked at her calmly.

I thought she would avoid eye contact, but contrary to what I thought, the first princess did not avoid eye contact.

Instead, he looked at me even more blatantly.

‘what.’

Her gaze was so burdensome that I had to turn my head away.

I took the sword the crown prince gave me and immediately returned to my lodgings.

Anyway, I can’t meet the crown prince or the first princess today.

Because they are busy.

You will have to meet me tomorrow.

“You can come visit the prince tomorrow.”

That prediction was not wrong.

The knight who came with the crown prince came to see me and made an appointment with the crown prince.

It was closer to a notice than a promise.

I will tell you the time and place, so come there on time.

It’s royalty. Also the crown prince.

If it weren’t for the nobles of the empire and if I wasn’t Count Millennium, I could do that much.

Although I won’t be able to do that if I become Count Millennium.

I nodded to the driver, saying I understood, and sent him away.

***

The sun was just starting to set.

“young master.”

These days, I often see Alice’s various facial expressions.

What happened this time?

“why.”

“....”

She hesitated to answer for a moment.

Then he took a deep breath and said.

“The First Princess has arrived.”

“...what?”

Why is the first princess here?

When she saw my brow furrowed, she spoke quickly.

“You are currently waiting in the lobby.”

“...what is that?”

Am embarrassed.

How long has it been since the appointment with the crown prince was made before the princess comes to visit?

This smelled bad.

It smelled like it was going to be a huge hassle having to get involved in a power struggle.

It felt like I had made a very deliberate decision.

“I’m sure you don’t know that our family maintains neutrality.”

“I know. But neutrality can be broken at any time, right?”

It’s not wrong.

There was no particular reason for the Millennium family to remain neutral.

Because there was a lot of caution.

There is definitely a lot to be gained by choosing one side, but on the other hand, the risk is also great.

Count Millennium did not like gambling very much.

That’s why no one chose it.

Although he was a count, he had as much influence as a duke, so he did not pay any attention to the royal family.

It is not for nothing that they are called the two great mountain ranges along with Count Warrug.

‘I have no intention of remaining neutral until the end.’

Although we are maintaining neutrality for now, it cannot last forever.

Although I am strong now and am holding on firmly.

As time goes by, the power will gradually weaken, and since no one side is chosen, pressure will come from all directions.

If that happens, it was only a matter of time before we became isolated and weak.

“But there is no reason for me to cling to the princess.”

However, there is no reason to attach it to the crown prince or other royals.

If I had to choose a side, I would choose the girl in front of me.

And I also thought about meeting him later.

‘But if you say it’s good here, you’re an idiot.’

First impressions are important to everyone.

Moreover, since she knows that I am Raymond, I have to show a strong appearance that will make her forget the rumors.

So what I chose was to refuse her request.

There is help for her, but not now.

“Does that mean I can just accept that you will ignore me?”

But she was no pushover.

From what I said, she caught something that caught me off guard.

Here, ordinary nobles would be puzzled by the word ‘ignore’.

It is impossible for even a noble to ignore the royal family.

Unless you’re so good at politics that you can fill hundreds of snakes inside, or you’re powerful enough to ignore the royal family.

It will be difficult to deal with her.

And unfortunately for her, I am not like those ordinary nobles.

“If you think that way, there’s nothing we can do. To be honest, there is nothing I can gain by joining the princess, right?”

I didn’t need to say it again.

Because the Daria Serion I know doesn’t like lying or spinning around.

“And I already have an appointment. I plan to meet with His Majesty the Crown Prince tomorrow. However, it would be difficult if you suddenly came to me like this without any connection.”

“...!”

Her eyes widened at my words.

The already large eyes grew even larger and began to shake rapidly.

Crown prince.

With that one word, her body relaxed.

She knows it too.

Choosing between the crown prince and yourself is impossible.

Any thinking person, at least someone who can see the current royal family structure, has no choice but to know who to go to.

Because she knows that, she can’t say anything else.

“....”

She looked at me with trembling eyes and then lowered her head.

And he seemed lost in thought as he touched his teacup.

“Then can I consider the business to be over?”

“....”

She still didn’t say anything.

It was clear that he was convinced that I would end up with the crown prince.

That’s why he looks like a loser like that.

And in fact, she would have lost many talents to the crown prince in this way.

‘If I fall over to the crown prince, there is no point in further confrontation.’

It didn’t matter whether I was a sword user or not.

The moment Millennium sides with the crown prince, the power structure that has been maintained so far is broken.

The crown prince’s already strong power will grow even greater.

There was absolutely no way for her to break it at the moment.

I thought I would no longer be able to talk to her.

I couldn’t wait for her forever, so I decided to get up.

“I have a lot to do, so I wake up first....”

“We’re getting married!”

“...yes?”

She dropped a bombshell.

Wow!

As Ellis entered the living room to fill up the tea, the kettle fell from her hand and shattered.
