Chapter 100

Episode 100

The moment I saw that name, I felt like every hair on my body stood up.

Ahar reporting journal.

I was told to keep an eye on him in the north.

I don’t know how he did it, but William was doing well.

I looked at him curiously and then shifted my gaze to the documents.

The amount of documentation was small.

About three sheets.

But the content inside was meaningful.

“first day. In battle with monsters and marauders of the North.

Second day. In battle with monsters and marauders of the North.

third day. Monsters and drums….”

From the first day to the sixth day.

Ahar just fought Taurine.

It wasn’t until the seventh day that I started doing anything different.

“Seventh day. After the battle between the monster and the looter, the looter goes to the hideout and the monster enters the mountain range.

Eighth day. The monster makes strange cries and goes around killing monsters in the mountains.

Ninth day. The monster is trying to stop the seeds of monsters living in the mountains.

Tenth day. The monster’s appearance returns to human form. Observation required.

Eleventh day. Caught. “Running away from a monster…”

At the end, the writing was so scrawled that it felt urgent.

There were no reports after that.

Even if I couldn’t do it, I had to report by the 16th day.

There hasn’t been any since.

I heard from William that he lost contact with those who were watching since the last report.

“And…”

William’s report was not just one.

I decided to put aside the topic of Ahar for a while.

All you have to do is find out whether it comes out of the North or not.

Aside from that issue, William warned me.

“There is nothing good about being friendly with royals at this time.”

“What are you talking about.”

“They say one of the royal families is preparing for war.”

“what?”

“We haven’t revealed the reason behind it yet, but it’s very dangerous because it involves many forces… and even the empire is at stake.”

They knew that I recently brought the crown prince’s birthday party, so they were worried that I shouldn’t be friendly with them.

“In particular, we need to keep a distance from the first princess. “There are also rumors going around that she and the person behind it are closely related.”

Although it was not information that was clearly found, the rumor about the first princess that had been widely spread until now added credibility to the possibility that it was true.

There were even rumors going around that accidents always happened wherever she was.

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for William to be worried.

“What should I do with this?”

“yes?”

“I’m already with the first princess.”

“yes?”

“This time, the First Princess will be staying within our count family for a while.”

“Why!”

William was scared and screamed.

That’s how surprising it is.

“My father gave permission, so there is nothing I can do.”

“He could be behind it!”

“You’re not sure yet, are you?”

“That’s true, but.”

Regardless of whether she is certain or not, she is not.

The background was different.

So there was no need to worry that she was up to something.

It’s a useless worry.

If she had that, I wouldn’t have brought her.

“I will take care of it, so you just tell me to prepare and work hard.”

“….”

“okay?”

“…yes.”

William reluctantly nodded.

“Then I’m done with my business, so I’ll go back. Oh, and use this when you need it.”

“thank you.”

Putting down the money bag full of gold on the table, he left the wild dog’s hideout and returned to where his companions were.

“Have you finished your business?”

“uh. Now let’s go to the Magic Tower.”

“yes.”

As I got into the carriage, the first princess looked at me blankly.

“Where have you been?”

“I came here to meet someone I know.”

I answered briefly and sat across from Princess 1.

“It will take some time to reach the Magic Tower, so keep your eyes peeled.”

“yes.”

Contrary to his answer, looking at his sparkling eyes, it doesn’t look like he’s going to sleep.

This will be my first time properly leaving the palace, so everything will be new.

The first princess was busy looking out through the carriage window and exclaiming exclamations until she arrived at the magic tower.

“Are you here?”

When we arrived at the magic tower, millennium wizards were waiting.

When they saw the carriage I was riding in, they hurriedly ran towards me and were surprised by the first princess who got off behind me.

“Uh oh! Wow, meet the princess!”

The wizards quickly fell down.

“ah! Wake up! “You don’t have to!”

1The princess was embarrassed and approached them and hurriedly helped them up.

She told them there was no need to do that and asked them to be comfortable with her.

“young master.”

The wizards look at me.

His face was asking why he came with the princess.

Instead of answering with a shrug, I headed to the warp camp with the wizards.

“We will operate.”

The wizard chanted and a bright light surrounded us.

***

After returning to the estate, I was immediately summoned to Count Millennium.

Mahol was taken to the head deacon, and I went with the first princess to visit Count Millennium.

“It’s been a while, Princess Daria.”

“yes. “It’s been a while, Count.”

What, do you two know each other?

Since you say it’s been a while, I’m guessing we’ve met before.

“That tomboy has grown into such a beautiful lady. The power of time cannot be ignored. “I can still see what it was like back then.”

“They say even God can’t stop the flow of time.”

The two seemed to get along very well.

They chatted happily among themselves, recalling past memories.

‘If you’re going to do this, why did you call me?’

If you’re going to talk without me, don’t call me.

Why do you call people and embarrass them?

While I was murmuring inside, Count Millennium’s eyes turned to me.

“From now on, you will take care of the first princess.”

What does this mean? There is no bottom or end.

I have to explain the situation so I can do it or not.

“We only need help until we can adapt to a certain degree here.”

“Me?”

“okay. Other than you, there is no one here who can take care of the princess. “You are perfect.”

“I don’t need a doctor?”

“I said I gave permission in the first place, but you were the one who brought me here. This doesn’t mean you can’t take responsibility for the person you brought in, right? “Then you should think again about the people you want to bring.”

“…!”

What now?

“What are you going to do?”

“…I’ll do it.”

Have no choice but to.

He knows about wild dogs.

I don’t know how he found out, but he knew what I had talked about when I met him recently.

It didn’t occur to me that William had betrayed me.

Because he gave me an amount of money that I couldn’t even think of betraying.

Even if you were a count, it would be difficult to pay more than that amount at once.

So, that means you have your own source of information.

‘I didn’t know it would be this bad.’

How did you find out what it was just the two of you?

“I will attach maids to the princess. Just tell them the little things and they will solve everything. And if there’s a problem that the maids can’t solve, you can talk to this guy. “As long as it’s not too big of a problem for me to step forward, I’ll take care of it.”

“yes. Thank you for your convenience.”

“I just did the obvious thing. You must be tired from coming so far, so please go in and rest. “The maid outside will tell you where you will be staying.”

“yes.”

He stood up and followed the princess.

Count Millennium waves his hand at the princess.

It was as if he had finally met his long-lost daughter.

“Then call me when you need it.”

“Oh, that…!”

“yes?”

“…it’s nothing.”

“yes. Then take a good rest. “I will take good care of the princess.”

“yes. young master.”

I returned to my private room, greeted by the maids.

“I’m tired, I’m tired.”

The fatigue that had been accumulating since the royal castle hit me all at once.

***

1 Since the princess started living in the count’s house, the atmosphere of the count’s house has been changing little by little.

“hello.”

“Hello Daria!”

“Good morning. Daria!”

Princess 1 was friendly.

Maybe that’s why the speed at which I became familiar with the people of the count family became very fast.

They greeted her warmly as she passed by, and whenever she left the castle and went to the city, the knights were there to escort her.

The funny thing is that the drivers who provide escort insist on providing escort even when they are told that there is no need for escort.

‘Because it has this kind of ability, it is why it is so wary.’

Seeing that she had become friendly with the Count’s people for less than a month, I could understand why other royal families were wary of her.

Just by saying hello.

You become friends with her just by smiling.

To the royal family, she may have been seen as a monster who was stealing their talent.

“I think Daria is really amazing. “Even though you are a princess, you do such things without any hesitation.”

“Plus, you look so beautiful. “When I see Daria, I feel better for no reason.”

“Ah, Daria. “Why are you so beautiful!”

“This time, I will be Daria’s guard!”

“Look where you are! “Next to Daria is my seat!”

Eventually, some people even began to fall in love with her.

The knights who had been so rude to me turned into puppies in front of the princess.

I tried my best to somehow make her smile.

‘That’s not a bad thing, but it’s beyond my imagination.’

It is a force that you cannot control.

Attracting talent is good, but if you can’t manage it, it becomes toxic.

It may be less so now that she’s only in the count’s family, but once she starts to enter the world in earnest, I think the world will turn into a lot of fun.

“It’s leisurely.”

There was nothing to do right away.

I trained swordsmanship in my free time.

I learned a lot in the North.

I also learned that simply physical training is not enough.

‘I have to cultivate the talents I have.’

Up until now, I have only believed in my talent and pushed forward.

And now it has reached its limit.

The same goes for dealing with Ahar in the north.

I couldn’t beat him because I didn’t have proper swordsmanship.

“What can I do best?”

I need to train to maximize my strengths and reduce my weaknesses.

To do that, I realized that swinging a sword alone was not enough.

“Mahol is busy with his education.”

Knights are not enough opponents for sparring.

It may be helpful to some extent when dealing with the majority, but it becomes insufficient over time.

Rather than that, you need a stronger sparring partner.

A sparring partner who can handle me revealing everything.

‘Where could there be someone like that?’

Knights who can deal with me must be at least a senior level.

There are knights of higher rank or higher in the count family, but in general, those knights are busy.

Whenever I went to spar, I went to subdue monsters with the knight commander or to carry out a mission for Count Millennium.

Perhaps that’s why I couldn’t find a suitable sparring partner.

‘What about Selina?’

I wonder if he would have thought of her as a sparring partner.

When I was getting frustrated because I couldn’t find a sparring partner, like a miracle, someone who would be my sparring partner appeared.

“Millennium! I’m here!”

The owner of a voice that resonates throughout the count family.

He was a mercenary king who was supposed to protect the North.
