chapter 7
7 – Knight’s Training Camp
Living on the battlefield for a long time, you often meet geniuses. I felt a wall when I saw the warchief of the Orc Kingdom and the black snakes of the Histel Kingdom.
The person who shocked me more than those people was the 7th Prince. He overwhelmed those who were called geniuses at a young age.
Rumors about him have been rife since long ago. The emperor’s illegitimate son, rumored to be the one who drives death, is a story that anyone who served in the military has heard at least once.
Ershen, the son of a fallen viscount in the frontier, distinguished himself at the age of 15 by leading farmers and repelling the plundering army of Histel Kingdom several times. Despite his young age, people fell in love with his skills and charisma and began to gather. When the conflict with the kingdom was over and he was 18, he became the head of a force that could be called an army.
The greedy Count Kerpis visited Ershen, the young son of the fallen Viscount, to steal his troops. Then he meets Er Shen and is stunned. It was because Ershen looked just like the emperor. He asked the imperial family about Ershen just in case, and was told not to touch him. Afterwards, rumors began to circulate that Ershen was the emperor’s illegitimate son. It was a tacit consent to the rumor that no sanctions were applied even though it must have reached the ears of the emperor.
The emperor has three princes and three princesses. Since Ershen was an illegitimate child, people lowered his rank and called him the 7th Prince, not the 7th Prince.
In the past, the instructor had fought a war with the 7 princes. At that time, he admired him and often corresponded with him. He picked up a fountain pen and added the contents of the letter he had written to him.
“Hmm…”
– Dear Ershen,
I read the letter I sent you before. How are you in the season when the scent of grain is carried by the wind?
I’ve heard that the Orcs’ army is gathering, but I’m sure you’ll do well.
You’ve done well up until now and you’ve surpassed me earlier, but I’ll write a few words out of old age. Orcs’ warfare is simple. But that’s not because the orcs are stupid, but because of their overwhelming power, they can’t think of a strategy.
If they continue to lose to you, they will use what is called a strategy, just as they did in the past. I still can’t imagine that you’re being victimized, but seeing that you’re worried like this, I guess I’m old too.
So I wrote a letter. Beware the Warchief of the Orc Kingdom.
Something interesting happened in class today. Do you know that he is Robert of the Albert House?
These days, he is famous among instructors for his overwhelming performance in all areas of swordsmanship, tactics, martial arts, archery, and horseback riding. Until now, there have been many such people, and since I met you, I didn’t expect much because my eyes were so high.
But today I was surprised when he didn’t pay attention in class. Would you believe me if I said that you came to mind after seeing his mock tactics??
It’ll be fun to be on a battlefield like him later. However, after hearing the story, even the instructors who had been on the battlefield for a long time were worried that his hand was very cruel.
Well, I have a lot to say, but I’ll cut the letter short.
I took a deep breath in and exhaled. Perhaps it was because of the sudden confession, the air was sweet. There was a strange atmosphere between him and me that made it seem like we shouldn’t even breathe loudly.
Light enveloped Arshen as he removed the ring from his index finger. After a while, the light disappeared, and the white hair and innocent face disappeared, and a handsome man with radiant blond hair and an arrogant expression looked at me.
“I am the crown prince of this empire.”
“Yes??”
“The moment I met you, I couldn’t think of anything other than you.”
“If you need gold, I will give you enough gold to fill this vacant lot. If you need power, I will give you the highest power in the empire. If anyone makes you weep, I will destroy that clan. I will give you everything. I’ll give it to you.”
Under a tree with thousands of red leaves, he approached me and touched my lips.
“You just need to give me love.”
For a moment, Irelle thought of Robert and hesitated. However, he remembered the times he spent with Arshen and couldn’t refuse. It was because he seemed so lonely, not knowing how to lean on others. If he refuses, he can take revenge on Robert, and since he is the crown prince, he may meet someone else soon after meeting him for a while.
“I have a fiancée. Even if we meet, only while attending the academy. Is that okay?”
“… I will make a prophecy. I love you the most in the world. In the end, you will love me the most.”
Arshen said with a dangerous smile. She went back to her academy dormitory after giving her heart.
Before she first fell in love with her, Robert didn’t think much of her. It was just that he was the talk of the town for a week at the academy with his public confession.
But today she felt a stabbing pain in her heart the moment she heard the words in her mouth that she was her fiancé. A voice was heard along with a light wave of mana.
When I tapped the crystal ball placed on the desk, the face of a loyal subordinate emerged from the crystal ball.
“Did you call the crown prince?”
“I wanted to have a person named Iruel.”
“It will be done according to the Crown Prince’s will. I will put pressure on the Duke of Roanis and the Marquis of Albre.”
Arshen pondered for a while before speaking.
“No, then Irelle might hate me. Robert is annoying, is there any way to deal with it quietly?”
“It looks like there will be a war with the Orcs again. I will secretly hide the Assassins among the troops and send them to the frontline with Robert. Within a week, the Orcs and Assassins will deal with it naturally.”
“Very good. I just want to comfort and take care of Irrell who lost her fiancé.”
“I’ll send him as soon as he graduates from the knight training center.”
“Yes, I like it. Let it be.”
The crystal ball was broken. Each person has a partner that suits them. I’m the only person in this world who suits Irelle the most.
There were a few other people who annoyed me besides Robert, but they were formidable to touch now. First of all, you have to deal with your fiancé and then sort things out step by step.
I realized after coming to the academy. The reason for all my life until now was to meet Irelle. But Rani, her fiancé, was so angry at her that her hands trembled. Anger as if my treasure had been taken away by someone like trash consumed my body.
Jjanggang – Jjanggang — Jjeok–
I screamed and threw everything I could get my hands on. He threw and broke everything he could get his hands on, including glasses, crystal balls, chairs, and teacups. When there was nothing more to break, he screamed louder several times before finally stopping to catch his breath as if he had calmed down.
If he hadn’t been the second son of a marquis family, I would have kidnapped him for making me feel this way and tortured him to death for the rest of his life.
Until now, there was nothing he didn’t have. It will be the same this time too. As always.
I swung my sword alone in an empty lot with my mind focused. Every time the sword moved, the energy surrounding the sword shook. The daily training was rewarding.
In my previous life, I got divorced very quickly and was excluded from the popularity ranking and was not even mentioned in the comments. And at that time, I didn’t know well because my level was low and I hadn’t trained properly. Just putting my name on the popularity ranking and occasionally being mentioned in comments speeds up my growth. It’s like doing a double experience event in the game.
Becoming a little stronger than working hard was so good that I felt like I would become addicted to it. Except for study time, he only swung his sword. It was hard, but it was really fun to become stronger faster than I thought.
As I was swinging my sword, the clearing suddenly turned black and white, and the sturdy wooden sword suddenly broke. It was a typical cliché.
‘It’s about time to start dating someone new.’
What is the reason why the artist suddenly shines on me in the cartoon and the wooden sword suddenly breaks? Part of the nerve going to the eyeball was touched very lightly with the qi. The corners of the eyes moistened a little. Caught the emotion. Before being dragged into the cartoon, I looked up at the sky with a vague expression, recalling the world. Writers and readers may not hear my voice, but it may look like a typeface, but I still spoke with a desperate voice.
“Is Ireel doing well? I miss you…”
After my monologue, the world was again filled with colorful colors. It was satisfactory.
I wish Irrell met more men. I hope readers feel sorry for me. So I hope you continue to vote for me on popularity rankings and mention me more in the comments.
Maybe I’m addicted to getting stronger fast.
