The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{Only a trade}

At Theodore’s assertion, the emperor asked with an interesting gaze.

[Hoo? Is it something that will make the burden more comfortable? Sky Road Prince, if you’re so confident, it must be something special, right?]

“Yes, it is.”

The Emperor showed interest in Theodore’s words.

[Yes. Can you tell me what it is?]

“The Minst Academy’s tournament where the best equipment of the Britannian Empire gathers. How would it be if my fiancee, Yuria Arsane, won?”

[Ha ha ha! Okay. It’s relieved, but now it turns out he was just giving his girl a lift! There was a reason Duke Arsane left it safely!]

YuRia slightly lowered her head at the Emperor’s words, laughing out loud as if she was having fun.

She was ashamed that she sounded like the emperor was making fun of her, but because she was awkward and distant with the emperor, she couldn’t say anything.

But Theodore saw the determination in her eyes.

[Princess Ar Sein keeps her mouth shut. Young master of Skyroad believes that, what do you think?]

Yuria lowered her head at the emperor’s words and said.

“I swear I will not disappoint my fiancé. I will definitely win with my honor and his trust.”

There was a sharp determination in Yuria’s words.

[hahahaha, Princess Arsane was in front of us, so I was nervous and strained. Don’t be too nervous Your father, Duke Arsane, is begging Jim for help in persuading his wife.]

When her family affairs came up, Yuria’s face appeared slightly embarrassed.

She would be ashamed for her emperor to mention the affairs of her father, who was her co-wife.

However, thanks to the emperor bringing up such a story, she seemed to have become more comfortable dealing with him.

[Then, I’m sure you’ll expect to win the tournament from this Friday.]

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will try to win.”

At YuRia’s answer, the emperor nodded her head.

[Yes. Originally, I should have comforted him not to be burdened, but at times like this, I’ll have to be a bit grumpy. Princess Arsane, please bear a lot of burden.]

“…Your Majesty.”

Theodore knew that what the emperor was saying was a joke, but not a joke.

I was joking, but he was telling Yuria just how much of a responsibility she had to shoulder.

[You were trained by none other than Young master Skylord. Even if the period of training from him, the chosen one, isn’t long, the world doesn’t care about that.]

That was right.

The public wouldn’t care too much about Yuria’s circumstances.

Just looking at the reaction of the public in the Britannian Empire right now, there are some who are angry at the treatment they received during the days of Theodore Artin, but that was all.

Very few people offered to solve the problem or actively cooperate in finding him.

‘That’s just enjoying the opportunity to slander someone.’

The public would be glad that they had the opportunity to slander someone, slander him to their heart’s content, and feel the pleasure that they were morally superior, rather than being genuinely angry and sorry for the unreasonable treatment he suffered.

Rather, they would mock Yuria by saying that despite being trained by her chosen one, she hadn’t won, and that it was a disgrace to her chosen one.

The fact that she had been learning from him for such a short period of time, she wouldn’t have taken into account the fact that she was now a sophomore, so her seniors had two years more than her, and so on.

‘After all, only the result matters.’

The world was like that.

No matter how good the process is, if the result is not good, the world will only cruelly ignore and slander.

[So you must never lose.]

“I know. I never had the slightest thought of losing.”

The light of determination shone on Yuria’s beautiful face.

Even for her, she did not enter this tournament lightly.

She participated in this tournament with her dreams and honor. I was determined to prove that I was a strong player who could defeat him.

“As expected, the more I look at you, the more interesting I am.”

Theodore smiled as he saw Yuria’s determination.

[Huh, Sky Road Gongja will become a loving wife.]

To the emperor’s lightly joking words, Theodore answered without the slightest distraction.

“You saw it correctly.”

I admitted it so confidently that the person who made fun of me had nothing to say.

With that look on his face, the emperor looked at Theodore and said.

[Really, you are not fun to deal with.]

“Your Majesty, then I have reported everything I have to report.”

[Yes. Just cut off contact. And teach her fiancee well so that she will win.]

“Yes, I understand.”

[Whoops, I need to prepare for Princess Arsene’s victory.]

Theodore easily guessed what the emperor was up to.

As soon as Yuria won the championship, she went to study at Minst Academy in the Britannian Empire. It was to show off that he had won.

The method of showing off is spreading rumors all over the Arkhan Empire, starting with treating Minst Academy, the best educational institution in the Britannia Empire, as a subordinate of Jaiha Academy, and raising the pride of the Arkhan Empire in all kinds of ways. It would lower the prestige of the Britannian Empire.

“Oh, Your Majesty has accumulated so many things.”

Looking at it simply, it seems childish, but the stature this would bring would be indescribably great.

“Theo, is there anything your Majesty is preparing…?”

Yuria was no stranger to politics.

However, as the princess of the Arsein duchy, although she was learning basic knowledge, her lack of experience did not lead to her strong conviction.

“As you would expect.”

Theodore told Yuria what their emperor was planning.

For YuRia, this fact would have made the burden even greater, but she had already made up her mind.

It was an insult to her resolve that she did not speak out of concern for her burden.

“Theo, the Imperial Court of Britannia won’t say anything to Theo, right?”

Yuria wasn’t worried about winning her own championship.

She was determined to win, and she never thought that she would lose.

I didn’t even want to start such a weak and clumsy idea.

So, what she was worried about was that after she won the championship, she would say something about the matter that Theodore agreed to cooperate with at the Imperial Court of the Britannian Empire.

“It’s okay. It’s just a business relationship anyway.”

Theodore answered YuRia’s concerns as if it was no big deal.

Actually, it really didn’t matter to him.

“I’m afraid they’ll catch you for breaking the deal.”

“If it were those people, it might be possible. But if Princess Louise had properly spoken her words, I wouldn’t take such an unreasonable move.”

He and the Britannian Empire had no trust in each other.

We didn’t trust each other, and of course we didn’t stand for each other’s position.

‘It’s just a business relationship.’

From the viewpoint of the Britannian Empire, including Princess Louise, her own cooperation was desperately needed in order to escape from her theory of responsibility.

I didn’t dare to have the Britannia Empire’s imperial family as my enemy, but I just had to make them a great addition to the country and family by using their cooperation as bait to gain political gain.

He had only made a great deal as the

Heir to the Duke of Sky Road, not as the

Chosen one.

“They’re the only ones who lose anyway.”

“…Yes.”

“So there’s nothing to worry about thinking that I stayed because of you.”

I could see Yuria’s pupils slightly widening at the words thrown by Theodore, like a surprised rabbit.

“…You knew that, too.”

“I can’t not know. If it were you, you wouldn’t have worried too much.”

No matter what the imperial family of the Britannian Empire did, the fact that she had the upper hand did not change.

Nevertheless, the reason why Yuria worried so much was because she felt a sense of debt.

She felt indebted to the idea that because she had chosen to participate in her tournament, her fiancée, Theodore Skylord, had also decided to stay here.

“As I already said, your presence alone is a reward more valuable than anything else.”

Theodore’s hand was placed on Yuria’s cheek.

Instead of answering Theodore’s words, Yuria slightly closed her eyes, and Theodore didn’t speak any more.

I just kissed her on the lips.

Unlike the imperial family of the Britannian Empire, which is only her transactional relationship, her real relationship is her companion who will be with her for the rest of her life, while hugging her….
