46 – Inherited Legend (2)

I had a dream that felt both nostalgic and unfamiliar.

That was the dream of the day when I was not yet 10 years old.

I don’t remember the details.

But I became close with Priscilla for some reason, and she went into a forest in Istria with him and encountered a monster surrounded by strange shadows.

Even though my hands trembled in fear, in order to protect Priscilla, who had shrunk behind my back, I remember picking up a tree branch that had fallen near her and fighting against her.

I don’t want to lose a precious person again.

Aiming at the monster that attacks with that determination in its heart—

“Ugh….”

The fresh citrus scent that hasn’t changed much from back then tickled my nose.

When I gently opened my eyes to that freshness, Priscilla, who had changed incomparably to that time, was rubbing her head against my chest.

It’s summer, but it’s a little hot because it’s tight, and his hair is slightly sweaty.

So, as I tried to brush her sweaty hair with her hand, Priscilla’s hand came up.

It was as if we had laid our hands together on the same bed, fearing that we would fall apart in our sleep.

Since they tied their hands together, they must have had no choice but to sleep hugging each other naturally.

‘… Should I stay like this for the time being?’

The thought of it made her feel strangely upset.

“Ugh… huh….”

Suddenly.

As if she knew how I felt, Priscilla started wiping the sweat from her hair onto my chest.

Do you know me as a towel or something?

“Whoa.”

It is indeed a sight that is harmful to the eye.

A guy who is still growing is like this, but when he reaches the age of coming of age….

“Ah, Your Highness…. Did you cough?”

“… What?”

“Why do you keep calling me so-and-so….”

My father seems to have been worried about my body for quite some time.

I let out a small sigh at that thought.

“Whatever. Exactly what condition my body is in.”

“… It is like this.”

So-and-so, who had nothing to say even if this fast-married woman was called an old maid by world standards, reached her hand toward her side table, her lips pressed against hers.

Then he used mana to stimulate the bottom of the cup.

Kwajik!

Cracks formed on the entire cup stimulated by mana, and it became shattered with a flick.

“Currently, the inside of the electric charge is in this state. Mana is leaking out of her.”

“I see.”

“Normally, it should be a more serious situation, but how can you say Your Highness’s body… It looks familiar.”

“Looks familiar?”

“There are traces of you having been in this state once before and then recovering. It’s like putting glue on it….”

It was the first time I had heard of it.

I’ve only heard that it’s the level of magic that even a 10-year-old commoner can lose, but no magician in the imperial castle has ever told me such a story.

As expected, it was an insight worthy of being called a great wizard.

“You shouldn’t take it lightly just because you’re running out of mana. Mana is the power that comes from the soul. In other words, the expression that the soul is torn to pieces is correct.”

“How?”

“It’s amazing that Your Highness kept his sanity even though he was called an idiot. It’s normal to hang yourself because you’re crazy about the old evening, even if you go crazy…. After all, the power of the sun….”

Someone said that and started muttering something.

I stared at her like that and let out a small sigh.

“So how long does she have to stay like this?”

As I said that, I glanced down at Priscilla.

“You should stay like that for the time being.”

“… Where is the bathroom?”

“Whoa. I stayed up all night because of it… !”

As if asking for recognition of the efforts, so-and-so gave me something in the form of handcuffs.

“If you’re wearing this, it’ll be okay if you fall off a little bit. The toilet won’t be a problem.”

Good luck out of misfortune.

I sighed and slightly pinched Priscilla’s cheek as she held her breath as she watched the situation.

“Wake up, stupid thing. Is the imperial family your bedding?”

“… Gee, did you cough, Maximilian-sama?”

You act shamelessly as if nothing happened.

Even after I came to my senses, he was a very sly and cheeky guy who burrowed into my heart as if it was natural.

“Stand up. It looks like the chancellor will be waiting for us to die.”

Yes, you must be waiting with a very complicated mood.

Me and Priscilla were wearing the same clothes as before we passed out.

It was a bit ugly, but it would be better if this state appealed for sincerity.

We left the room after lightly washing our face with water that someone magically made for us.

Then the servant waiting outside led us to the place where everyone was gathered.

“Your Highness, so that… Violation of the order….”

“Don’t bother me. I will take care of everything.”

“Grace like the sun, thank you… ! So that… !”

I could feel the energy of blatant desire in his eyes.

I value Non-Gong Haengsang.

If I stayed still, I would have gone halfway, tsk.

“That glass.”

“Yes?”

“Twenty gold coins will be enough. It’s a gift from the imperial family.”

“I, Your Highness….”

“Don’t say I did it. So walk away, so-and-so.”

“The grace of the sun is warm!”

Something snobbish.

I headed to the restaurant with Priscilla, who was still tired from the night before, and someone who was talking loudly.

There was a gathering of my father, the knights who escorted him, and the Prime Minister’s family.

“Did you cough, Your Majesty?”

“… Are you feeling better?”

“It seems that I am a little tired after staying up all night for the first time in a long time.”

Since I was trembling so much, the chancellor’s family rose from their seats and approached me.

I wasn’t even told to, but I knelt down and bowed my head.

“Dawn of the Empire. I will never forget the warm grace bestowed upon the Marquess of Wellston!”

It seemed that the story had already been told while we were asleep.

The Chancellor is a man who knew the information called Tears of the Sun, which is difficult even for the emperor of the empire to grasp.

Of course, you must have known the value of being born at a turning point in history, as my father said.

“The dragon nestled in the imperial castle asks for some shade, should I be stingy and kick it out?”

“Your Highness….”

“Did the Hwangseong provide a cool shade?”

“Of course… no see….”

“That’s it. Rest in peace.”

“Hey, hey… ugh….”

There will be a lot of water tax, Prime Minister.

How can you, who was stingy even with a fairy tale, show such an appearance?

But let’s skip today.

I am well aware of the fear of losing someone I love.

Now then, let’s go back to the imperial castle.

If the sun stays up forever, you can’t rest comfortably in the shade.

“Your Majesty.”

“Okay, let’s go back. It seems you need to rest in the shadow of the imperial castle too.”

The sun can shade someone, but it cannot rest in the shade.

But it seems that even the sun has at least a shade to rest on.

… It’s a bit dangerous shade, but that’s it.

“I will follow your orders.”

Until this point, I had no idea.

Isn’t there a big difference from now?

Even now, Priscilla acts with me most of the time as her exclusive maid.

So, I thought that if only a very sensitive area like the bathroom was addressed, even if there was a little skin contact, it would be just that much.

Even up to this point….

***

A man in his prime sleeps with a woman his age in the same bed.

That alone is bound to cause quite embarrassing incidents.

For example, menstruation would be the case.

“Have you all changed?”

“Yes, Maximilian….”

There was no problem with sleeping.

Maybe it’s because of his habit of squeezing his stamina to the limit and going to bed on time, or because he fell asleep as if he fainted even if someone was next to him.

But the morning phenomenon that any man experiences was a problem.

When I woke up in the morning, between Priscilla’s thighs… Tsk.

I didn’t mean lust!

So don’t glance at me with such a meaningful look, you flirtatious thing!

But this was just a small happening.

Since it happened between the two of us, we thought it was just a manly affair and brushed it off.

The problem started after that.

“… That, Maximilian-sama?”

“You can’t skip training in the morning. Now, if you skip it, it feels like thorns are growing in your mouth.”

“Hey, is this?”

“Can’t you see it? It’s a chair With this, you can use both hands.”

“….”

It is possible to run with Priscilla on your back, but both hands must be free to wield her wooden sword.

So, as I was wondering if there was a way, I came up with an excellent item called Jige.

Of course, there was no weight here, so I decided to use a chair I made on the spot by breaking the leg of the chair instead.

I wove a rope around the chair to make a simple carrier, put Priscilla on top of it, and carried it on my back.

As we headed to the parade ground in that state, the soldiers stared at us with their eyes wide open.

“….”

“….”

To be honest, it was a complicated feeling, but it was inevitable for training.

Stamina is also important in order to inherit the swordsmanship that transcends the imagination of the first generation.

This level of embarrassment was an ordeal I had to endure.

“Your Highness! Did you cough!”

“Yes, sir.”

“Your Highness. Now, please call me Knight Commander Pedro, not substitute!”

Saying that, the assistant manager twitched the corners of his mouth and turned his head to the side.

Standing there was Sir Bertrand, the former knight commander, glaring at the parade ground with ferocious eyes.

Even though there were circumstances, aiming a sword at the emperor and fellow knights is something that cannot be easily forgiven.

So it seems that he said he would resign from the position of captain of the knights.

In any case, the imperial sword and knight commander cannot exist independently.

When his head cools down enough, he will return to the position of knight commander, but the assistant manager seemed to be thinking of picking mulberries in a short time.

I thought he was a crazy man from the beginning, but wasn’t he afraid of the aftermath?

“Ah, the sword of the Empire. Be of help to Your Highness.”

“… Yes, Captain.”

The troops began running on the parade ground with Lord Bertrand, who has now become the ‘what used to be’ the knight commander.”

I also ran out of the parade ground at a slightly faster pace, following their flow.

“Are you okay?”

I considered the ride comfort in my own way, but I couldn’t help but worry because the shape was like that.

“Yes, Maximilian.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, of course.”

In that case, you can speed it up a bit.

Perhaps because the mana of the sun has been activated, his body is incomparably lighter than before.

I felt like I was cutting through the wind, and I rushed forward.

Then the captain of the knights, who had been running the parade ground with me as my pacemaker, started talking to me.

“Your Highness, it would be nice to train with the knights from now on.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

If you train with the knights, you will finally begin to bond with Dior in earnest.

I was a bit worried, but I guess I’ll have to move on in order to carry on the legacy of the first generation.

“I guess so.”

Wouldn’t the situation be better than here in the first place?

The soldiers don’t know, but the knights know our situation in their own way.

As I was running through the parade ground with that thought in mind, something strange began to unfold around me.

“Ahahahaha….”

What is it?

From noble mtl dot com

“What is Priscilla doing?”

“I am waving to soldiers who have been silent.”

“….”

What is this….

No, why is everyone running at my pace in the first place?

They usually run at their own pace….

‘Ah, I see.’

The power of the sun that spreads gently in all directions also has the effect of recovering from fatigue.

In other words—

‘We have become Wi-Fi repeaters….’

It seemed to have become a relay that shared the energy of the sun instead of data.

It was crazy.

“As expected, Your Highness chose….”

Mumble.

Those who usually ran through the parade ground with a breathless expression now seem to have enough stamina to make fun of their cheeky mouth.

As I ran through the parade ground, I looked back to examine the faces of those people who were full of leisure.

‘Imperial soldiers… !’

The soldiers who were greeted by Priscilla stretched their philtrum with playful expressions.

Have you been possessed by a woman who hasn’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony yet, cheeky things!

I turned my head back, looked straight ahead, and gradually increased my running speed.

─ Uh, ah!

As the distance from me increased, the soldiers began to attack me like a tidal wave, stretching their hands forward and making a ‘uhh’ sound, like a scene from a zombie movie.

“Wow!”

Even Priscilla, who had become quite tough, seemed quite shocked by the sight, and bounced lightly from her seat, showing a startled reaction.

“Hold tight.”

In the first place.

It’s rude to share Wi-Fi without the owner’s permission, you arrogant ones.

It was a problem even after finishing the canter at the parade ground to avoid the zombies.

“Hey! How many jockeys are you?”

“This has always been my seat, you bastard!”

“Above you, below me, everyone, haaap!”

I was laughing and suppressing my voice as much as possible, but the content was truly something I had heard somewhere.

It’s not that hard to wield a wooden sword near me, so they started screaming at each other to take the seat next to me.

As the ‘what was’ worse than that took me to a corner, the soldiers looked at us with expressions like children who had lost their balloons.

‘What a bountiful year he is.’

It was a scene I couldn’t help but think about.

Of course, this was just a cross section of the many problems.

For example, it is like this when staying at Biryonggwan.

“Ha ha ha ha….”

“Calm down, Annette!”

“So, so noble… !”

If we even make eye contact with the handmaidens of the Bryongguan while we are walking around like this, this kind of sh*t starts right away.

She grabbed her head as if she was getting dizzy and pretended to fall down, but every time Priscilla saw it, she giggled and laughed, so I couldn’t blame her.

It was the same when I was taking royal studies lessons from Martin.

“I will serve you tea, Your Highness.”

As if they were determined and wanted to observe us, the ladies-in-waiting serving the tea changed not daily, but by half a day.

That was too cumbersome, so I decided to make a schedule to get out of Biryonggwan as much as possible.

As expected, going to the sanctuary that embraces the sun would be most useful here.

We were about to make that decision and move, but even in our nature, that jingling gaze followed us nonstop.

Judging from the sound of training, it seemed that rumors had spread throughout the entire castle that he had participated in the morning training with Priscilla on his back before he knew it.

Because most of them didn’t know the details, the gaze towards us was really unbearable.

“….”

Priscilla, who seemed to be quite bold now, too, had reached the point where she couldn’t say anything because her face had turned red.

I’d rather pass the time in a place where there are a lot of guys who know our circumstances.

Since September has just begun, won’t the meeting about next year’s budget be about to begin?

I attended a government management meeting that I thought was a good opportunity and was told to take a break.

‘Ha….’

Is there really no paradise in the place you fled to? .

My eyes sting.

Even though everyone gathered here knows the circumstances to some extent, an indescribable gaze sticks out.

When I reached Duke Trista, I just sat down with an enchanted expression on my face.

He looked like a fool, worried that he might be sending baby products as a gift soon.

‘I must be crazy.’

The parade ground, Biryonggwan, the main castle, and even the sanctuary!

Wherever you go, for the time being, this jingling gaze will follow you?

Should I continue to live like this in the future?

I sighed because I thought the glittering top of my head would be my future.

“Then let’s start the meeting on next year’s budget.”

Replay… !

Anyway, if I don’t pull out the mulberry here, I won’t be able to live because of the unfairness.

Let’s pick mulberries firmly here and leave for Istria under the pretext of recuperation for the time being.

It was the moment when I made that commitment.
