Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 156

Episode 156:

The time has come for the 3rd prince to return to the empire.

He had been there for almost a month.

Although the first few days weren’t great. He was a fool and there was no one who could say anything to him because he was surrounded by the empire.

Nevertheless, the reason the vassals and knights were able to endure was because they had been trained through Raymond’s foolish actions.

It wasn’t a good thing by any means, but it was right to see the benefit of it.

When dealing with a fool, all that was needed was ignoring and neglecting him.

So from that first day onwards, everyone except the maids ignored him.

Only the maids under him suffered from him.

‘People changed in the middle.’

The third prince lost his temper after the humiliating sparring, but later his behavior improved to the point where it could be said that he had changed as a person.

He didn’t act like a fool anymore and didn’t even speak informally.

Rather, I felt very humbled.

In addition, after participating in all the training, I opened my heart to him a little towards the end.

Just when it seemed like we could get closer, the date for his return was set.

Although they were pretending not to be the case, the knights were a little disappointed.

Would a knight of that kingdom be able to train with the prince while laughing?

That time felt somewhat refreshing to them.

It was bad when I came, but at least it will be good when I go.

Perhaps, if he had maintained his original appearance, he would not have been able to expect a good send-off.

Just when I thought everything was going smoothly, I encountered a slightly embarrassing situation.

“…Are you serious?”

“yes.”

When the sun rose in the sky and we were taking a break after eating, Daria came to visit.

I couldn’t believe my ears as she approached me with a determined expression on her face and opened her mouth.

“Are you sure you want to go?”

“yes.”

She was still adamant.

She nodded firmly even to the second question.

‘What on earth happened in between?’

Her actions were sudden and, above all, extremely dangerous.

Not to me, but to her.

“It means that you will follow His Highness Vaan to the empire.”

“yes. “I think that’s how it should be.”

Accompanying with Baan.

She said she would go to the empire with Baan and become his strength.

I was amazed at her decision to go to a place full of danger everywhere.

Her self-esteem was so low that it was difficult to put it in a good way.

Even though things have gotten a little better recently, it wasn’t to the point where he could risk his life.

“Have you been threatened?”

“no. This is my decision. “It’s a decision I thought about over and over again.”

I thought it was a threat, but it wasn’t.

So what on earth made her like this?

Unable to survive in the royal family, she turned to Millennium.

The imperial family was more dangerous, not less dangerous.

Because it has tremendous power, it is natural for those who hold that power to be threatened.

There was no way she didn’t know that.

“If you go there, you will no longer be able to receive my help.”

“I know.”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.

I wondered if I had missed something. What on earth made her like this?

‘She is greedy.’

Then, one thing suddenly occurred to me.

In the original, she wanted to become king and created her own kingdom.

And although it was only for a short period of time, it was even elevated to a great power.

If you think about it, it was simple.

Her greed did not disappear.

Although it was suppressed by the pressure of those around it, it could not be made to disappear.

Rather, the more you stop and block her, the more you add fuel to the fire of her desire.

I forgot. What a greedy character she was.

In the beginning, I only remembered her appearance and erased her true personality.

“It would be very dangerous to go there. “If you do something wrong, your life may be at risk.”

“yes.”

I thought for a moment as she nodded resolutely.

Actually, her decision was a very good thing for me.

In fact, I personally hoped that she would follow Baan and help him.

Her potential to create a powerful country with a strong military power despite being a weak country with a small population would be enough to help Baan.

‘But the question is what the Count thinks of this.’

There were many problems.

Not only was her intention a problem, but it was also questionable whether the Count would accept this.

My guess was that he wouldn’t accept.

For her safety, I took her in under the guise of my decision.

Who knows what that means to other royals.

Just by looking at it, she could tell what the Count thought of her.

Will he really accept Daria heading to the dangerous empire?

‘It’s dangerous to go out to play, much less go into the imperial palace.’

There were two cases where the royal family went to the empire.

Either taken hostage or secretly hiding while disguising their identity.

As in the former case, it is very dangerous if you get caught in the latter case.

So, in most cases, royal families from other countries do not go to the empire personally unless it is an official event.

Even if I go, I won’t visit the imperial family like she did.

“The Count gave permission.”

Regardless of my concerns, she already had that in mind.

He said he expected me to worry about that.

“The Count… you said the Count gave permission?”

“yes.”

Her answer was truly shocking.

She had no idea that the Count, who valued her safety, would let her go so obediently.

There is no way she would have sold me.

I don’t know. What the Count had in mind and how she persuaded him.

“I can’t say anything more. “I support Daria’s decision.”

It’s good if she goes.

That one thing is an unchanging fact and it is my inner heart.

“But you’ll need safeguards. Mahol.”

Slurp –

her shadow swayed and a man appeared.

The process of changing from a shadow to a person was always fascinating.

“Did you call me?”

The strongest assassin.

The time when he awakened his power and when he trained was earlier than in the original.

He grew at a pace befitting his genius talent.

I practiced dagger skills and how to use shadows on my own.

As a result, we achieved such great results that we didn’t even notice that we were clinging to Daria’s shadow.

I’m not bragging, but my senses were keen.

No, it wasn’t necessarily me, but the hatchling’s senses were beyond those of a human.

-uh? Where did it appear? That person is strange. I can see it, but it’s not there!

Even the hatchling could not sense that Mahol was hiding in the shadows, and even when he was in front of him, he tilted his head and thought it was strange.

To that extent, Mahol had no pretense of popularity or vitality.

It was proof that he was completely in control of his body.

His ability to hide and assimilate into his surroundings was such that he could not be seen even when he was right in front of him.

Unless you are an Intermediate Sword Expert or higher, you wouldn’t even know he was there even if you were in front of him.

His potential has not yet reached its bottom.

He could grow more.

“I’m sure you’ve listened to what we’ve said so far, right?”

“yes.”

Mahol bowed his head.

His answer came from all directions. It spread quietly in the air and tickled my ears.

“I think you should go with Daria.”

“Raymond?”

She was taken aback by my words.

Even though I was under his protection, I was able to see what kind of talent Mahol was.

Mahol had a talent that even Millennium could not ignore and was a tremendous powerhouse.

Above all, Assassin’s uses were endless.

I could have it by my side at any time and order it to do anything.

From assassinations to spies.

There are so many things you can do with it.

She was taken aback that he had attached her to her without the slightest hesitation.

“….”

Mahol looked at me with his mouth closed.

“There is only you. “Only you can do the job of blocking threats in Daria’s shadow, and only you can trust me.”

“….”

“Can you do it?”

“yes.”

Mahol answered more calmly than expected.

He nodded, saying it wasn’t that difficult.

Then I made eye contact with him.

There was no emotion in his eyes, so I couldn’t read what he was thinking.

“thanks.”

“no. “I can do anything as long as I can return the favor.”

With those words, he returned to the shadows.

Even at that moment, I didn’t feel that he was returning until he completely disappeared.

His ability to hide was horrifying, but that made me even more unable to trust him.

If he stays with her, her threat is greatly reduced.

“Raymond…”

“You don’t have to say anything. “I’m sorry because this is all I can do for you.”

I bowed my head slightly to her.

It was her personal decision, but it was true that I benefited from it.

More than anything, it was I who brought him closer to Baan.

She’s not stupid, and the reason she made that decision after hearing about my plan is because, in addition to her greed, she also wants to help me.

“And if you have time, would you like to go out with me?”

“yes? Ah yes.”

Baan’s return date was tomorrow, and the only way to do something for her was now.

The place we arrived at was the Wild Dog House, a place hidden in a slum.

“If my eyes are not wrong, this person is….”

“This is Princess Daria.”

“Hi! Wow, meet the princess!”

William hurriedly fell down.

Daria was embarrassed and stretched out her hand to help him up.

William made a dazed expression at the touch.

That expression was so funny that I laughed a little behind her.

No matter how much we research the royal family or the royal family, how many times do we actually get to see the royal family?

Moreover, it is strange that he would not be embarrassed if the royal family personally helped him up.

“Uh, that. “This is…”

William looked back at me, hoping for an explanation.

It’s been a while since I’ve been embarrassed, so I wanted to tease him a little, but since the situation was situational, I got to the point right away.

“From now on, you will be this person’s information book.”

His expression changed in an instant.

He listened to my explanation with a serious face.

“That’s interesting. Very good.”

After listening to the end, he nodded with a strange smile.

There was excitement on his face that couldn’t be hidden.

“Actually, I was wondering how far my information could affect me. “This is great timing.”

‘Crazy guy.’

He was crazy.

He heard what she and I were planning, but instead of being nervous, he saw Daria as his experiment.

So it was more reliable.

He was a guy who would do anything for his information, and he handled the tasks entrusted to him reliably.
