Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 114

Episode 114

The silence continued for a while.

The princess was busy looking at the crown prince’s thoughts, and the crown prince was glaring at her, wondering why he was so displeased with having invited her.

The suffocating silence continued and I couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Here is your invitation.”

I will quickly give you an invitation and run away.

The Crown Prince glanced at the invitation I gave him and raised the corner of his mouth.

“This is the invitation. “I’ve given it before, but this is the first time I’ve received it.”

Quickly turning his attention away from the princess, he picked up the invitation and examined it.

He must have liked the invitation, which had the millennium symbol on the gold label, as he was examining the cover without looking at the contents inside.

Since that wasn’t something I needed to worry about, I turned my attention off and tried to stand up.

My purpose for coming here had been realized and there was no reason to stay any longer.

“Remember I said I would investigate?”

“Ah… yes.”

I naturally sat down in response to his question.

“This was kind of fun.”

He snapped his fingers as he put the invitation into his arms.

Chuck chuck!

The air shook and a man with his mouth covered appeared.

The entire body was covered in black, and even the eyes and head were black, so I thought I wouldn’t be able to see it at night.

‘It’s been a while since I saw black.’

Gold, silver, orange, etc… After seeing all the colorful colors, it was nice to see a familiar color.

“Oh, this is my first time seeing this place. “This is my personal escort.”

“Ah, nice to meet you.”

The escort driver nodded slightly at my greeting and then slowly disappeared, as if he was melting into the air just as he had appeared.

Did you say that the world is wide and there are many strong people? Even though he disappeared right in front of me, I couldn’t really sense his presence.

I only vaguely felt like I was nearby.

-It’s been bothersome since a while ago. Killing humans?

‘What do you kill?’

It crushed the head of the hatchling, which was gaining momentum.

If I didn’t do this, it seemed like magic would be used at any moment.

“Don’t worry about anything else, just look here.”

The Crown Prince pointed to a section of the document that the guard had put down.

There were many faces there.

“It was these guys who invaded your territory at that time.”

“…?”

“Oh, I guess you wouldn’t understand if I said that. These guys are special forces members of the empire. Those who only listen to the emperor’s words and will even jump into fire if he speaks. “They say that when they carry out their missions, they burn their faces and cut off their tongues.”

These guys are the masked people?

This was information that even William did not know.

Is this the information power of someone with a proper information network?

“They are very dirty people. Because they are willing to commit inhumane acts in order to carry out their mission. Plus, the mission execution rate is 100%. “Oh, I failed this time, so I’m not 100%.”

He continued, saying he did a good job blocking it.

“But it’s strange. No matter how imperial it is, it is not so easy to enter a strategic location of a major power in another country. “It would have been absolutely impossible without help from within.”

“….”

That is correct.

The fact that it was impossible to do without help meant that there was a spy inside.

And as he said, there was a spy in the kingdom called the Second Prince.

Does the crown prince know this? Even though I know, I can’t say it too hastily.

This is not something that can be said based on suspicion alone and without evidence.

“It was a bit strange, so I looked into it further. Thanks to that, the kids under me had a harder time… but thanks to that, I was able to get some good information.”

He handed over a document and held it out for me to look at.

When I saw that document, I couldn’t help but be impressed.

The documents included people thought to be spies, including the second prince.

Even up to that point, the information power was enormous.

This is what William could only find out after asking me to investigate, and the Crown Prince found out on his own without any help.

Given a little more time, it was enough to figure out that the second prince was the culprit.

“That’s amazing.”

“yes? I was satisfied too. “If only we had more time, we’d be able to find out for sure.”

In addition to the crown prince, there were three men and women.

Although they are not royal families, each of them has strong power in the kingdom.

One of them included the duke of the kingdom.

If he were the culprit, he had such a good reputation that the kingdom would definitely be shocked.

“Even if you don’t know what other guys are, you can definitely find out what this guy is like.”

He pointed to the second prince and smiled.

That smile was so evil that it wouldn’t be strange to think of it as the smile of the devil.

“I wasn’t happy with your recent behavior, but it turned out better. “Now that I have a cause, I can do whatever I want.”

He took the documents from me.

“if….”

“…?”

While looking at him, something suddenly occurred to me.

No matter how much you hate them, they are family. Even if they caused great harm to themselves, there were cases where they forgave them because they were family.

What would the crown prince do when he found out the true identity of the second prince?

No matter how self-centered a person is, wouldn’t they forgive him because they are family?

‘When that time comes, I might end up fighting the crown prince.’

I had no intention of letting the guys who messed with me get away with it.

Additionally, I plan to thoroughly eliminate those who threaten my safety.

Prince 2 was like that.

There is a suspicion, but there is no evidence.

You can find it if you want to, but it takes up too much time.

That’s why I left everything to William.

And if I get proof like that, I will never leave the second prince alone.

We will completely bring you down to the bottom and prevent you from doing anything.

What the Second Prince was planning was the same as advancing the kingdom and laying the foundation for Ahar to destroy the continent.

There was no way I could leave a guy like that alone.

If the crown prince prevents it, there will be no choice but to confront him.

Dealing with him will be the most annoying thing for me right now.

“What will you do if Prince 2 is the culprit?”

“Uhm….”

The crown prince closed his mouth.

With a face that made it difficult to answer, I raised my finger and tapped the armrest.

“What should I do? “He must be executed.”

“….”

Oh, that’s right.

He was this kind of person. What did I expect from a person like this?

In the first place, they are people who want to get rid of people who seem to be harmful to them, even if they are family members.

‘Still, is it possible to say that execution is that easy? And with such a pure face.’

He tilted his head and said the word execution, leaving me speechless.

I don’t know if it was because of his appearance or because I knew who he was, but the word “execution” felt like a given.

“Don’t ask the obvious.”

“Yes. The obvious thing…”

I was worrying about that obvious thing.

Still, thanks to this, my heart felt lighter.

“Then where do you start your investigation?”

“That’s what I’m thinking about. “To be honest, there is so much to research that I am hesitant.”

“Hmm then… how about investigating his surroundings?”

“The people around you?”

“yes. “It could have been planted by someone.”

“That’s impossible. In order to enter the royal castle, you have to reveal your identity. If there is even the slightest doubt, it’s only a matter of time.”

“It would be different if you were a personal escort. “Don’t you have a personal escort?”

“That’s… right.”

The royal family’s personal escorts do not necessarily undergo identity checks.

If you try to investigate the royal family for no reason, you could end up in big trouble.

Above all, the royal family’s personal escort knights do not need to prove their identity.

Because the royal family that brought them in is their guarantee.

“It’s definitely not wrong.”

The crown prince nodded, saying that was correct.

“Recent ones are good, but I think it would be better to focus on investigating those who have been hired in the past. “This isn’t something that can be accomplished in a day or two.”

“Of course. “Thanks to you, I was able to learn some good methods.”

“What. “It is an honor to be able to help you.”

The crown prince waved his hand, saying it was enough to put on a show.

He turned his head and spoke to the princess who had been ignoring him until now.

“You know I don’t like you. “The fact that you caused trouble to my close friend this time is also getting on my nerves.”

“…yes.”

The princess responded in a timid voice to the crown prince’s blunt words and nodded.

The crown prince clicked his tongue as if he did not like that sight.

The princess trembled at that.

“I really don’t like it. “He looks like a royal yet servile… It’s a fitting description of Serion’s shame.”

“…!”

The princess bit her lip tightly and grabbed the hem of her skirt.

‘This is a bit harsh.’

The princess was silently receiving such harsh words that even I, who was listening from the side, felt bad.

The crown prince clicked his tongue as he criticized the princess, wondering what he didn’t like so much.

“But this one wasn’t bad.”

“…?”

After swearing for a while, his words changed.

The princess, who had been holding back her tears, was dazed by the slightly softer voice.

“It was surprising that you, who had endured so much, found a way to survive on your own.”

“….”

“I feel bad because he seems to have ignored my words to stay quiet… but it was okay. That’s what royalty should do. It is not royal to tolerate something servilely forever. “Royalty is about finding your own way and standing up for yourself.”

The atmosphere suddenly changes like this?

Even I, who was watching from the side, could not get used to the sudden change in the crown prince’s mood.

The person who had been so cold was now showing a little bit of his warm side.

‘This is so tsundere.’

You could see it from the side, but the people involved didn’t know it.

The crown prince’s appearance now was that of an older brother who was blaming his younger brother for his pitiful behavior and worried about his safety.

“Just keep doing it like you do now. Then you won’t be abandoned.”

“…yes.”

She bit her lip and nodded.

The crown prince clicked his tongue again at that sight and turned his gaze to me.

“Take care of my ugly little brother. “It looks so pathetic, but it might still be useful.”

“….”

What should I answer?

There’s something regrettable about simply saying ‘yes’, and I feel burdened by the princess’s gaze.

I lightly gathered my thoughts and opened my mouth.

“You don’t have to ask me. “I have no intention of taking responsibility for the princess.”

“…!”

The princess looked at me from the side with a shocked face.

The crown prince smiled strangely and crossed his arms.

“Are you saying my little brother is that bad? “To the point where I don’t want to take responsibility.”

“no. Just the opposite. Princess Daria is doing everything so well that she doesn’t need my help. “You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Isn’t that too much of a guarantee? I’ve been watching for a long time, but you haven’t. “I know better how pathetic that guy is.”

“I don’t know what the princess has been like all these years, but the princess I saw was not that kind of person. “We at Millennium recognize the princess as Daria, not as a princess.”

“Hoo…”

The crown prince rubbed his chin as if he was interested.

I didn’t avoid that gaze.

I didn’t lie. In fact, the knights of the count family liked her as a person, not as a princess.
