Chapter 137
Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius
Episode 137
The Third Princeâs words were absurd.
It was nothing to say to the person he was attacking as if he were going to kill him.
No, even if they were good people, there were very few people who would teach them politely if the person who was harassing them like crazy asked them to teach them something.
Who would be able to say to the person who was harassing them, âYes, of course I have to teach themâ?
At least I donât.
âWhy should I do that?â
âUh⦠that isâ¦â
The 3rd princeâs face darkened.
I could see him rolling his eyes and thinking about what happened when I said no.
I looked down at him as he lowered his head and continued speaking.
âI donât like you. âBecause as soon as you saw me, you couldnât stop eating me.â
âAhâ¦â
âWould you be willing to help someone who has pushed you to your limit? The enemy is not like that.â
ââ¦.â
The 3rd prince kept his mouth shut and could not say anything.
The term karma is not there for nothing.
The 3rd prince is paying for his karma.
âAnd I donât understand why youâre suddenly like this. âDidnât you hate me until just a few days ago?â
âHmmâ¦â
The 3rd prince was unable to answer with his mouth closed.
He lowered his head pitifully and was only teasing his poor fingers.
âEven if you donât ask me, arenât there already great knights by your side?â
âBut you are different from them!â
âWhat do you mean itâs different?â
âThatâ¦â
I wanted to say something, but then closed my mouth again.
At this point, I began to suspect that he was intentionally making me feel frustrated.
It was when I was in the middle of questioning him.
âYour Majesty, are you okay!â
âI heard you were taken away by that guy Raymondâ¦!â
I saw knights coming into the room in a hurry.
Their hair and faces were wet with sweat, as if they had been looking for the entire count family.
âYou bastard! How dare you try to assassinate His Highness Baan!â
âYouâre crazy!â
The knights who spotted me in front of the crouching Third Prince shouted in anger.
âWhat are those again?â
Even if there is a misunderstanding, I am firm in my mind. In the first place, I had no intention of killing the 3rd prince.
This is because I relieved a lot of my stress through sparring.
Nothing good would come of killing him, so why attack him because Iâm crazy?
âWe were talking⦠but I think you misunderstood something.â
In the first place, we were talking, not fighting.
It would be very unfair to say that someone is being murdered while we are having a conversation.
âconversation? Youâre saying something ridiculous! âIf we were having a normal conversation, thereâs no way Your Highness would be crying!â
âYou really have to be crazy to make His Majesty cry!â
This is some bullshit again.
No matter how bad the conversation with him was, it wasnât enough to make me cry.
You may feel bad, but you can still move on smoothly from the bad mood.
Knights appear and try to ruin it all.
âstop!â
When the knights were about to draw their swords, the 3rd prince shouted at them.
The knights trembled and stopped in their tracks.
âPrince Hua?â
âWhy all of a sudden?â
The knights are embarrassed.
They only moved for the sake of the 3rd prince, but the 3rd prince, who was supposed to take their side, did not take their side.
âCanât you see weâre talking now?â
Wiping away his tears with his sleeve, he glared at the knights with venomous eyes.
The knights had no idea how to take this, so they just looked at each other.
âIâm sorry. âI will apologize on behalf of the drivers for their rudeness.â
The knightsâ eyes widened at the sight of him bowing his head to me.
He was the third prince whose pride made him never bow his head or bend his knees except for the three emperors.
I couldnât help but be surprised when the man who spoke ill of his brothers bowed his head to me, who had a lower rank than him and had beaten him to the ground.
âWhy, Your Majesty!â
âWhy are you bowing your head!â
The knights shouted at the 3rd prince with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
It was like a terrible nightmare where oneâs master bows down to the bastard who ignored and put down his master.
âShut up and get out! âI didnât call you guys!â
They, who had now turned into bastards, looked at the 3rd prince blankly, as if they had lost their minds.
âIf Master gets angry, will you take responsibility?â
No, there. Since when did I become your teacher?
âMaster was embarrassed because of you!â
I was embarrassed because of you.
What kind of situation is this again? The 3rd prince, who couldnât even say a word to me, made me his teacher, even though I never said he would, and was pushing the knights.
âI donât think this is a bad feelingâ¦â
It felt good to see the knights who had been messing with me, along with the 3rd prince, bowing their heads, but it felt strange to become a teacher without permission.
I thought I had refused, but that wasnât the case.
âHehehe. teacher. âThatâs enough now, right?â
ââ¦Since when did I become your teacher?â
âThatâ¦â
The third prince realized that he had made a mistake and rolled his eyes.
Then he closed his eyes tightly and shouted.
âI fell in love!â
Thatâs difficult in its own way.
***
I left the place, telling the 3rd prince that I would think about it.
His bright face, waiting for good news, flashed before my eyes.
I was perplexed that a person could change so much in an instant.
And I was taken aback twice by the fact that he had changed to like me.
âI knew you would come, but you were a little late this time.â
William said, shuffling through documents.
I wanted to know what kind of guy the 3rd prince was, so I came to see him.
I thought that if I knew his past, I would be able to understand his changes in mind and how to deal with them.
âAre you curious about the Third Prince?â
William always had a knack for surprising me.
I couldnât help but admire the way he knew in advance what I was coming for and prepared in advance.
When I nodded, he took out a few sheets from the pile of papers he was shuffling and came over to me.
âYou came at just the right time. âThe investigation was completed last night.â
âSeeing the bad expression on your face, I guess thereâs something wrong with you.â
âItâs the opposite. Itâs so clean. âItâs amazing.â
âwhat?â
William clicked his tongue as he looked through the documents containing information about the 3rd prince.
What he means by âcleanâ is that nothing comes out even if you brush up on corruption.
What they were saying was that the 3rd prince lived a very honest life, contrary to his behavior, but it was hard to believe that.
âIs it that clean?â
âyes. âOf all the nobles and royal families Iâve seen, I can say they are the cleanest.â
âThat much?â
âyes. Honestly, I was a bit surprised. Most people in power make mistakes, but the 3rd prince did nothing like that. So I investigated to see if other royal family members were like that too, but that wasnât the case either.â
Saying that, he reached out and grabbed the stack of papers on the desk.
It was so massive that it could easily fit in oneâs hand.
âThese are the things that came out to the other royal family members except for the 3rd prince. From simple to dirty. The more I dug, the more I found. âI think it will take more time to sort this out.â
He clicked his tongue as he tapped a stack of documents.
This was a normal reaction.
No matter how clean a noble looks, except for a very few, dust comes out when you brush your hair.
And the higher the title goes, the more and more dust there is.
âThis is really awesome. âCompared to others, itâs like pure water.â
William did not spare his admiration.
They say people like this are rare and itâs a big hit.
I have a hard time accepting that.
I canât believe such a clean guy did that to me.
âBut there is one problem. âIt is said to be a severe lack of affection.â
âwhat?â
âThatâs literally it. It is said that he was always ignored by his father, the emperor, and his mother died immediately after giving birth to him. âThey said he was raised by a nanny, but even that nanny said that he was killed by an intruder when he was 10 years old.â
ââ¦.â
âYou could say he was a pitiful person. âThe worst outcome was always death or maiming for the person who was with him.â
Itâs a somewhat familiar story.
âSame as Dariaâ¦â
She was also ostracized by her own family, and those who came close to her always faced disastrous results.
âMaybe thatâs why they reject others, but funny enough, they hope that others will approach them. So, when I talk to the maids, I end up getting angry.â
ââ¦.â
âMore than anything, they say I am simply ignorant, perhaps because I grew up in such a family environment. âThey believe and act only on what they see.â
He said many other things, but they were all praise for the third prince.
âThatâs enough. âI donât think I need to hear any more.â
Listening further seemed meaningless.
Anyway, the meaning of what was said was the same.
âIâm going to turn.â
It was harder to stay still after hearing these words.
âI had a hard time doing the research. âI will go.â
âPlease donât be too cautious.â
ââ¦?â
âBecause it might be helpful to us.â
He saw me off with a meaningful smile.
The 3rd prince was still following me around.
He looked at me with expectant eyes, as if he was waiting for my answer.
âHaaâ¦.â
It became difficult to refuse.
If he had been a bad guy, I wouldnât have even worried about this, but through William, I realized that he was just a child.
I am worried because I know that rehabilitation is possible if we tell people what is right and what is wrong.
I gathered my thoughts while feeling the gaze of the 3rd prince.
He said if you canât avoid it, enjoy it.
If you canât avoid the 3rd prince, you can benefit from him.
âYour Highness Baan.â
âDid you call Boo?â
The 3rd prince hesitated and stood in front of me.
Behind him, the knights were glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I scratched the back of my head and sighed.
âEven if itâs impossible to teach the sword, I think I can watch the sword a little bit from the side.â
âReally?â
The 3rd princeâs face brightened.
He clenched his fists and expressed his happiness.
âBut there is a condition.â
âhuh?â
âIf you donât meet these conditions, it will be difficult for me to help you.â
âWhat is it? Just say anything! Is there anyone you donât like? âIf there is, I will take care of it!â
I shook my head at his willingness to deal with anyone.
I could use him to get rid of those who bothered me, but it wasnât the time to go that far yet.
Although William reported it, I felt I had to see it with my own eyes to believe it.
This is why first impressions of people are important.
If your first impression is not good, you will not be trusted no matter what you do afterwards.
âWhat should I do?â
When he asked me to do something, he hit me on the forehead.
âFirst, correct your informal speech.â
âuh?â
He looked at me blankly while rubbing my forehead.
