7 – Who are you?

I entered the 2nd week of being tormented by an ignorant guy whose brain is made of muscle.

I should have gotten used to it to some extent now, but the captain of the knights held my breath so much that I missed meeting the witch.

You damn bastard!

“Keuuu….”

“As expected, you have a good basic physique, so you can digest it well. From tomorrow, I will increase the intensity a little more.”

Are you really crazy, Knight Commander!

As I lay down on the lawn and let out a rough breath while swallowing the curse words that rose to the top of my neck, the knight commander took out a pretty cute notepad from his chest.

It was really strange to see him holding a notepad that was too unsuitable for a man with a thick beard and frowning as he was worried about something.

“Whoop, whoop… What is it?”

“Oh, isn’t it the end of May soon? A meeting with the vassals is scheduled soon.”

If it’s a meeting with the vassals, then my father will vacate the imperial family too.

That means, of course, that malicious person who abuses me under the pretext of horseback riding will also leave the imperial castle.

Unbeknownst to me, it felt like my fists were getting stronger.

“Don’t worry. I will prepare my agent.”

… Evil bastard.

I mean, don’t look at me with such a proud expression.

I got up from my seat by straining my wobbly legs.

Tuk-tuk.

After lightly brushing the dust off his body, the demon showed a very satisfied expression.

“Your Highness. At this point, do you not intend to learn swordsmanship from scratch?”

Yes, you should learn.

Because all members of the imperial family who inherit the blood of the first generation must practice weapon skills and magic.

─ Prepare for the shadow of the apocalypse that will come someday.

A thousand years have passed since the empire was established.

It’s been a long time since the imperial family has to be an example to others, so it has long since changed to a teaching that says to devote yourself to the goal of transferring civility and martial arts.

‘It’s different now.’

The shadow of the apocalypse will soon appear.

‘I have to learn.’

In addition to the Knight Commander, there are other beings to get close to.

Nevertheless, the reason I got closer to the knight commander first was to induce this situation.

I thought that if I asked him to teach me swordsmanship from the beginning, he would be flatly rejected because of what he had done in the past.

So he chose horseback riding, the last line he would not refuse.

I turned around and finally reached the starting line….

‘Worse than this witch.”

Whoa.

“Yes, please. Sir Bertrand.”

For a brief moment, delusion arose, but with one deep breath, I was determined.

“As expected, you have changed. Rumors abound in Biryonggwan.”

“I see.”

“hahahaha! Hasn’t the atmosphere changed?”

Yeah, it was different.

Only a week has passed since the falling horse incident.

Nevertheless, it can be said that the atmosphere of Biryonggwan, where I live, has changed 180 degrees.

The servants who used to look at the floor for fear of eye contact with me now walk around looking forward confidently.

On rare occasions, I could hear the chittering of the servants.

And having me at the center of the topic can be said to be a very big change.

‘What an absurd situation. I can’t believe living a crazy life is helpful.’

Since the evaluation was so low, it is highly evaluated just by acting in a common sense line.

It was a situation where I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Well, it’s already this time. Today’s training will end here. You worked hard, Your Highness.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I handed her a towel to her maid, and she lightly wiped her face, then headed straight to her bathroom to clean herself.

Now you can have breakfast and focus on your studies that you have been putting off.

As I was walking down the hallway thinking that, I heard the maids flirting.

“At that moment, Your Highness said ‘I lost’ and threw the card.”

“So how did it go?”

“From here on out, it’s a little bit….”

‘I don’t particularly like it, but there’s no influence from Priscilla, so I guess.’

A prince who was a fool falls in love with his fiancée and changes his mind.

It is said that books of that kind are quite popular in the system.

It wasn’t my intention, but from the outside, Priscilla and I seem to be in a similar situation to the book in that street.

‘I have changed to change.’

If it had been in the past, he would have issued an order saying, “Do you dare to chat in the place where the crown prince is staying, and even make the crown prince himself a topic of conversation?”

That was the reason why there was no commoner born near Biryonggwan.

“I’ll give you dessert for dinner… !”

“Your Highness has been away for a while. At that time, Priscilla-sama saw it while organizing the cards.”

“Oh, really! Annette!”

“Whoops, but actually, Her Highness’s hand was A and K!”

“Ser, no way?!”

“Yes! That’s it!”

“Kyaaak!”

… Spoiled.

It is the basic common sense of gamblers not to look at unopened cards.

“Hmmm.”

A maid who waited near me cleared her throat and alerted her colleagues.

The maids, startled, put their hands together and bowed their heads.

I glanced at the ladies-in-waiting and passed by as if nothing had happened.

“… This is the power of love!”

It’s not love, it’s the duty of the royal family for humanity, this foolish thing.

I let out a small sigh and headed straight for the restaurant.

“Welcome, Your Highness.”

“Yes.”

In the restaurant, the waiters were already waiting for me after the meal had been prepared.

It used to look like a prisoner awaiting judgment, but now his face showed a faint pride.

“Tell me that today was delicious too.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

After finishing my meal, I returned to my room and decided to check today’s schedule.

‘It’s real from now on.’

Perhaps it’s because I’ve been so negligent in the past, the schedule is so tightly packed that I wonder if it’s okay.

I made it clear that I would work hard to the extent that I was behind, but I never thought it would be this bad….

‘First of all, is it royal studies?’

It was said that a new teacher would be dispatched from the original castle to help study the royal studies.

I was told that if it went according to plan, I would be contacted this morning….

Smart.

─ Your Highness. A servant came from the main castle.

“Come in.”

Kikik.

From noble mtl dot com

“Excuse me, Your Highness.”

He is a familiar employee.

“… Butler.”

“Have you been well, Your Highness?”

“If you come to visit, it must be a fairly serious matter. Did His Majesty call you?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

I heard that the castle will be vacated soon due to a meeting with the vassals.

So you’re trying to make sure the rumors are true before you leave.

“Yes, I understand.”

After the welcome, I followed the butler to the main castle.

“Could you wait here for a moment?”

“Yes, I understand.”

He is still busy.

Judging from the fact that the place I am waiting for is Hall 4, there must be a lot of people waiting for an audience.

Since the butler didn’t take it to his father himself, it must have taken quite a while.

It was a moment when I couldn’t help thinking that it was a waste of time.

I let out a small sigh and opened the window of the waiting room.

Then the sound of conversation came from a nearby waiting room.

“To be honest, I am skeptical. Rumor has it that His Majesty is visited by all the people, but would you listen to the words of a country noble like us?”

“Then do you have a pointed number? If you stay still like this, your eyes will be open and your nose will be cut!”

“Calm down, Count Wisdom. It is the law of nature that the river has swollen….”

“Why are you talking like a stranger, Baron Vales!”

Earl Wisdom and Baron Bales.

Are they the rural nobles who came to see the crown prince in the hospital because they were worried about the split head?

It seems that he came to his father to mediate the discord between the territories.

“Whoa, I’m glad you guys came up with a solution.”

“The Count of Genoa….”

“Damn it! All in all, an epidemic when summer is just around the corner….”

The Count of Genoa was definitely a noble who came to visit me with Baron Kaji.

Since these two live in the same area, it seems that they visited the imperial castle because of the epidemic.

… Epidemic?

─ hahahaha, hahahaha! What is an empire! What did the empire do for our family, who had devoted themselves to the country for hundreds of years!

Ah, I remember this.

It was definitely a story related to the prime minister’s son, one of the target targets.

In a story that can be called a common route, the chancellor appears as a villain.

I don’t know the details, but it was a story that her wife had a contagious disease, and after struggling to find a cure for the disease, she finally knocked on the door of the imperial castle.

But in the end, no help came, and the chancellor, who lost his beloved wife, tries to destroy the empire.

In the process, he had a conflict with his son, and in the end, he was killed directly by his son’s hand and left.

After that, the emperor, who felt sorry for him, pardoned him, and the son of the prime minister struggled to regain the family’s lost trust.

Fortunately, there was no part about the heroine attacking men, so it seems that I, in my previous life, also read this part carefully.

‘For something like that, the evaluation seems to be poor again.’

Because the me in my previous life laughed here, saying, ‘As expected, it’s a female-oriented game, isn’t it an historical fact?’

The reason was that no matter how devoted the family was for hundreds of years, it was not enough to destroy the three tribes as long as they pointed their swords at the empire, but they passed on it too lightly.

‘The chancellor and his father were definitely close friends.’

To put it vulgarly, it’s a relationship called a friend.

‘Still, just skipping over it… no way?’

Thinking about it, there was a solution, but it was a nuance that they didn’t help.

Did your father shake off the hand of a subject who asked for help, and who could be called a friend?

It was a family that was a bit difficult to imagine.

In case you didn’t know, should I tell you something about the epidemic?

I thought it would still take some time, so I decided to go to the waiting room next door and meet the nobles who came to visit me.

“Me, Your Highness!”

As I entered the waiting room, the people I was talking to with anxious expressions lowered their heads.

“It’s been a while. Did everyone come to see His Majesty?”

“Yes, yes… majesty.”

I must have heard rumors that I was a b*tch.

You can tell he was nervous.

“This is also a fate. I want to hear your story for a moment.”

The Empire suffers considerable damage due to the chancellor’s betrayal.

If possible, it would be better to make the chancellor’s betrayal a thing of the past.

Of course, if you intervene here, the game scenario will be completely distorted….

It has been done. Most of it is useless knowledge anyway.’

In my previous life, I passed most of the stories on the grounds that it was hard to see the faces of my husband.

It is impossible to turn a blind eye to the cries of a servant moaning in pain because of such ambiguous memories.

In the first place, at the point where my existence has already changed, there is no way that future events will happen the same way.

“Your Highness?”

“I am listening. Keep talking.”

“Yes, and that caused problems with my family and Baron Bails’ domain. So I came to find the imperial castle and ask for mediation before a territorial dispute arises.”

A large river flows in the territory where Count Wisdom and Baron Bales are located.

Until now, the river has been the standard for dividing territories, but a major natural disaster occurred a month ago and the topography of the river changed drastically.

Thanks to this, the peace that lasted for over 100 years was broken and a territorial dispute surfaced.

“This is a problem that can be solved surprisingly easily.”

“… Is that really true?”

Earl Wisdom looks a little surprised and the rest looks skeptical.

… Still, should I be grateful for trusting this b*tch 1/4?

“You claim that the river has widened and this widened area is your land?”

I drew a line on the map Count Wisdom had brought with a nib dipped in ink.

“It is enough to change the flow of a river by building a dam.”

Anyway, a nobleman with strong prestige pushed recklessly, and it seemed that he came to the imperial castle shouting Imperial Emong.

It has not changed over a long period of time, and the topography has changed only briefly due to flood damage.

This is a problem that could have been solved in less than a week if we worked on it little by little so as not to be caught late at night.

Because even a war must have a just cause, even aristocrats with strong prestige will give up.

Smart.

─ Can I come in for a moment?

That’s the butler’s voice.

“Hmm. I guess I should go.”

“… Go, thank you, Your Highness!”

“Thank you!”

Earl Wisdom and Baron Bales hurriedly rose from their seats and bowed their heads to me.

“What? It’s no big deal.”

I need to hear about the plague….

I won’t leave the imperial castle right away anyway, so I’ll have to listen to the story next time.

“The Biryong Hall will always welcome you.”

If you tell me this much, they will come to you on their own.

With that thought in mind, leaving the waiting room behind, the butler nodded with an expression of admiration.

“You are truly a member of the Sun….”

I was eavesdropping.

“A spoiled bastard.”

“Sorry, Your Highness.”

“It has been done. It was this body that vacated first.”

I followed the butler to the audience room where my father was waiting.

And there—

“Who are you?”

A strange question was asked by her father, whom she hadn’t seen in three months.
