The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

“That, that’s…”

“Mmm…”

As if they had nothing to say, the nobles coughed and lowered their heads to avoid the king’s notice.

“Don’t worry, I will give Yuren Rocks my land, which is currently unclaimed. The land to be given to him is the Gairin Viscounty.”

“Ah, if it’s Gairin…”

“Hmm…”

Small smiles bloomed on the faces of some nobles who were trying to argue with the king earlier. It was never meant to be celebrated.

You’re laughing at the fact that you got Gairin.

The reason why the nobles are quiet is that the Viscounty of Gairin is famous for being a bad territory. Although it is a vassal territory, it is small like a barony, and there is little land to use for farming or pasture, and it is useless as a tourist destination, and there are no mines discovered.

In addition, mercenaries and criminals abound in the Gairin Viscounty, and incidents and accidents follow one after another. Gairin is a place where many aristocrats shake their heads.

okay. Laugh heartily. Let’s see what happens later.

I barely restrained myself from bursting into laughter at the sound of giving away Gairin. Those who scoff now will regret it later when they learn what was in Gairin.

“Add to.”

The King’s words were not over yet. Everyone who had been whispering about Gairin kept their mouths shut and focused on the king.

“Uren Rox is the eldest son of the Marquess of Rox, and it is certain that he will succeed the Marquess of Rox in the future, so I will grant him the rank of Viscount, just like the name of Rox.”

Maybe because they were given Gairin, the nobles didn’t say much.

The King was sure that I would get the title of Rocks.

If he inherited the Marquess of the Rocks later, he was considering taking the name of the Rocks and owning both the lands of the Rocks and Gairin.

“The castle is ruined. your majesty!”

“I believe that you will make Gairin a great and prosperous estate.”

“I will not disappoint you.”

You will never be disappointed.

“Then, shall we reward Arin and Ilia?”

The king got down from his seat and approached the door of the audience room.

At the king’s order, the door of the throne room changed into the golden door of the royal treasury and slowly began to open. Brilliant light began to burst through the cracks in the door.

“Oh oh!”

“This is the royal report!”

The nobles gathered at the entrance of the royal treasury, poked their heads out and began to look at the treasury.

“Ilya and Arin, choose the one you want.”

“All right.”

“thank you.”

The two looked at each other and went inside at the same time. And a cheeky bird that can’t tell if it’s going to do it or not, jumped out without a bird to stop.

“Buck.”

The king, who had opened the door and approached me, stopped walking when he saw the fly flying towards him.

“Is this guy your spirit beast?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Hmm, I thought it would be bigger, but it’s small and cute.”

Like a cunning bird, Paekbaek didn’t go straight to the report, but was acting aegyo to the king first. It’s also fast on the relationship of rank.

“hahahaha.”

The king was stroking his hair tightly and smiling emptyly.

“Buck.”

As if they thought they had become close to each other, Baekbaek left the king’s hand and flew to the royal treasury.

“That guy!”

“It’s okay. Leave it alone.”

As I hurriedly followed, the king held me by the shoulder and stopped me.

“Rather than that, do you know about Gairin?”

“It’s a place attached to our territory, so I know a little about it.”

“Probably, you will suffer. The bureaucrats who were assigned there still get offended when it comes to Gairin.”

“yes. I know.”

The king took a step closer to me as if he liked my calm reaction.

“There is a place called Mount Ekil in the Gairin Territory, so investigate it closely.”

“Echyl acid… I see. thank you your majesty.”

Knowing Ekilsan, as expected, the king handed it over to me after finding out what was in Gairin. He seems to be trying to empower me in many ways.

“you. He said he hasn’t even become an heir yet.”

“That’s right.”

“Heh heh, that’s great. Someone like you isn’t the successor yet, and Arin is a trainee knight. Kkeuk. Is the Marquis of Rocks a place full of monsters?”

“It’s because I got into a lot of accidents when I was young and didn’t receive trust.”

“Accidents happen to everyone. If you realized it at your age, that would be a coincidence. Whether you are the successor or not, the name of Rox will go to you. I wish you well in the future.”

The king said that, looked again, and headed forward.

He bowed his head slightly on the back of the king as he moved forward and thanked him.

“Bap!”

Before Ilya and Arin, Bakbaek came out with a jewel on his foot.

[Spirit Stone]

It is a stone that contains spirit power that has not been stained by any attribute.

A non-elemental spirit stone is a stone that increases the spiritual power of spirits, and in some ways is a rarer item than a spirit stone with attributes.

The white fur that had already eaten away the spiritual power of the spirit stone was shiny.

“hahahaha.”

Like the king of Iokal, the king was unaware of anything and just laughed at the jewels and charms Paekbaek brought him.

“Ugh…”

He’s a very creepy guy.

“Uren Rocks.”

“Ah, poor Prince Sun.”

As I was shaking my head, a young man with a face similar to that of a king approached me from behind. It’s Prince Gwen Briard.

“Do you go back tomorrow?”

“It looks like it will.”

“Then how about having lunch together tomorrow?”

Prince Il had a distorted face for some reason, and his tone was somewhat unnatural.

People I don’t know might feel like they’re laughing at me, but I, who knew everything, didn’t feel much emotion in that expression.

“All right.”

“then. See you tomorrow.”

I replied that I knew because there was no particular reason to refuse. After hearing the answer, Prince Il smiled awkwardly and went forward to stand behind the king.

“hello.”

This time, this Prince Arthur Briard spoke up.

“This prince degrades. Greetings are late.”

“no. We didn’t even have time to say goodbye.”

Unlike Prince Il, this prince approached with a friendly smile.

“You must have lunch with your brother tomorrow, so how about having a tea time with me later?”

“All right. Lowering.”

“thank you. Urren Rocks. I will send someone tomorrow.”

“No, I am grateful.”

“then.”

The prince stood to the king’s left, maintaining a soft smile.

“Princes…”

It’s obvious why those two are calling me. It is to put my name behind them and stand in an advantageous position in the race for the throne.

“I will do this.”

While thinking about future events, Ilya made his choice and headed outside. Ilia was holding a sword that was slightly longer than a longsword.

[Potlan’s Sailing Sword]

A sword made by Continental Craftsman Portlan in his middle age. Although it does not have any special abilities, the sword’s balance and center of gravity are perfect, and it is hard enough to not be cut even by an aura, so it is the best sword for a skilled swordsman.

“You made a good choice.”

It seems that she has chosen a good sword that suits her well. Since it has the characteristics of a swordsman, halfway options will only get in the way of her.

“Is Arin worried…”

Arin was looking around, not knowing what to choose. I’ve never chosen anything before, and I think it’s because there are so many options.

“your majesty.”

“Why but?”

“Would it be okay if I helped Arin a little with choosing?”

“Heh heh, of course.”

After receiving the King’s permission, I approached Arin’s side.

“Can’t you choose?”

“Forgive me for being late. There are too many, and I don’t know what is what.”

That makes sense. Anybody other than Arin would be troubled when faced with such a choice.

Calmly examining it through the eyes of the creator, he chose a doublet for her to wear under the armor. The doublet is the last protective equipment that blocks broken pieces of armor or enemy sword attacks until the very end.

[Grave Arming Doublet]

It is a lightly made quilted garment, but because it was made using Grave’s thread, it is durable and sticky, so it is not easily cut.

Special Options: Increase Strength, Enhance Agility.

Arin usually wears light armor, and even though it is worn inside the armor, the defense is not bad, and there are special options, so it seemed to suit her well.

“Go, thank you.”

After explaining the clothes to her, Arin took the doublet and came out.

“I will do this.”

“okay. Then I will close.”

The king looked at Arin and me with satisfaction and then closed the door of the treasury.

“I hope that Yuren Rox, Ilia Markus, and Arin will continue to use their strength for Krasis.”

“Of course, Your Majesty!”

“Today’s event ends with this. So let’s all go back.”

It was when the nobles left at the king’s words, and I, Arin, and Ilia also said their last goodbyes and turned around.

“Yuren. I heard that it was a good atmosphere with the saintess of the Holy Nation, aren’t you going to marry there?”

“Eh?”

Suddenly, the king said something unexpected in a playful voice.

“Wow, what are you talking about? I never did!”

“Oh, is that so? I’m sorry. Rumor has it that hahahaha.”

The king returned to his seat with an apologetic smile.

However, momentum that made her flesh tremble was already flowing from the woman behind me.

“Yuren. Let’s go out at once.”

Ilya’s voice was cold like a midwinter wind, and her face was red in a different way than at my dorm.

“I was going to ask you earlier, but I heard that rumor. What happened?”

After coming out of the throne room, Ilya’s face and voice were frozen.

“Nothing really happened with the saintess. scale. you tell me.”

“you’re right. Except for the Archduke and the saintess, nothing special happened.”

“scale! If you put it that way…”

“Let’s talk. Follow me.”

“ah…”

**

“Grunt…”

Yesterday, I was able to return to my dorm only after I kept telling Ilya that nothing had happened and promising to sparring with her whenever she wanted.

“Is Yuren there?”

When I opened the door to the sound I heard from outside, Prince Il, not an attendant, was there.

“This, the Sun Prince degrades!”

“What are you so surprised about?”

“Because I didn’t know you would come in person…”

“I just came for a walk. Let’s go get something to eat.”

Her face and tone of voice seem much more comfortable than yesterday. I followed him and headed to the dining room of Prince Il’s palace.

As soon as we sat down at the table, hot food started coming out. The food was neither fancy nor numerous in variety, but had an appetizing aroma and color.

“It doesn’t taste good when it cools down, so eat it first.”

“Thank you, I will eat.”

“Even if it looks a little ordinary, it will be delicious.”

As Prince Il said, the food was more delicious than it looked. After enjoying the food, it wasn’t until it was time for dessert that the prince opened his mouth.

“Me and Arthur went on a trip not too long ago. I circled the kingdom once.”

“I see.”

“It was my first long trip, and I really liked it. The faces of the people were bright and full of laughter. Of course not everything is as it appears.”

It seems that the reason why the princes were not in the palace was because they traveled around the kingdom.

“The kingdom of Krasis is a peaceful and good country. As the light of God shines.”

Prince Il looked at the sunlight shining through the window as if bewitched.

“To be honest, I don’t mind being king as long as the light stays. Even Obama said that the order of birth does not determine the throne.”

His words were still gruff, but I still feel kind to hear them. It sounded like my grandfather was talking.

“There are a lot of people around me asking if it would be good for Arthur to inherit the throne. He’s smarter, stronger, and more considerate than me. He said he would become a saint.”

Prince Arthur is known to be superior to Prince Gwen in all aspects, including academics, martial arts, personality, and personal connections.

In contrast, the prince in front of me was not good at anything, spoke awkwardly, and was famous for damaging the honor of the royal family by showing interest in useless things.

It’s not like the original Yuren, but he doesn’t live up to the expectations of a prince.

But I know a lot of this world. In the original work, Prince Il dies, and this Prince succeeds to the throne.

And only then does the world know that this prince was not what he seemed.

“Previously, I thought about leaving the palace and giving Arthur the throne, but this time I felt it while traveling with Arthur. It’s hard to explain because it’s just my intuition, but Arthur shouldn’t be king. Something bad will happen.”

Prince Il looked at me with serious eyes. His eyes contained innocence itself, without any selfishness.

I never thought Prince Il would have noticed that. It’s worth using more than I thought.

Prince Il dies shortly after. Of course, it is not natural death or accident, but murder, and I have enough ability to prevent it.

Shall we save the prince?

Gairin

“I’m not shameless enough to ask you to be on my side when I first saw you. However, I want you to think deeply about standing by Arthur’s side instead of deciding right away.”

This is an unexpected and unexpected statement.

Prince Il asked me not to go to Prince Il, either because he thought it would be difficult for him to keep me on his side or because he was considerate of me.

Prince Il, who traveled and saw the world, seems to have grown a lot.

“I don’t think I, Obama, or anyone else really knows Arthur’s real face. I’m asking you to withhold the choice until that figure is revealed.”

Prince Il was still keeping his eyes steady. It is to be sure that there is another face for your brother.

However, it is only after becoming king that this prince takes off his mask and reveals his true face. Prince Il dies without seeing the true face of this prince.

“Of course, this is just my request. All decisions are yours to make.”

“I see what you mean.”

“I’m glad if my intentions were conveyed.”

He was taking care of me in many ways. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the way it looked.
