I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

231. Troublesome Guy, Dangerous Guy, Shitty Guy (3)

“Just like I heard, it’s like seeing a giant.”

I thought for a moment about what to say, but decided to just talk comfortably. Anyway, at the moment, he is just a prince with no particular power.

Even if you’re scared for no reason, you’re only exposing your weaknesses.

So, you should smile.

I awkwardly raised the corners of my mouth at the words suddenly spoken by a guy who might be a future palace artist.

“Well, I heard that a lot.”

“Usually people make assumptions just by looking at the outside.”

Saying that, the 2nd prince smiled.

He has a handsome face, so he seems to have a certain aura, but the true meaning of what the 2nd prince said is, ‘The people of the world are idiots who don’t know that I’m acting.’

I don’t know if it was because he inherited the royal blood, or because he was half of the same blood, but he also had a slightly narcissistic temperament like Ji.

Still, among the three princes, he is a pretty decent figure at the moment, so is it better to draw a small line?

I guess we need to get an estimate first, right?

“Oh, I think I know what it feels like.”

“Hoo, aren’t we communicating better than we think?”

Don’t let men flirt with you. While I was contemplating what to do with the second prince, who seemed very interested in me, I looked at Hertz who stepped in front of me.

Hertz bowed and expressed his opinion to the 2nd Prince in a very polite voice.

“I may be presumptuous, but Your Highness the Second Prince. Sir Quartz is now…”

“It’s fate that we met like this, how about a cup of tea?”

You seem to be very excited. I never thought they would go out of their way to invite me. I pretended to worry a little and got lost in thought.

Should I be invited or not?

To be honest, receiving an invitation itself was not very beneficial to me.

It was because it could have seemed like Se was joining the weakest 2nd Prince faction.

It was my wish to be misunderstood like that.

I have no intention of getting caught up in political strife.

But…If I do well, I think I will be able to proudly stand between the three princes and clean my mouth.

Of course, the compensation I received now is enough, but the saying “More is better” Is not there for nothing.

The fact that the 2nd Prince approached me right away meant a lot.

First of all, I am an attractive recruitment target for at least the second prince.

From the 2nd prince’s point of view, who was gathering metallurgy power behind closed doors, I, who was not one of the other princes, must have seemed like quite an attractive prey.

I don’t know who Hertz is who is looking at me from the corner of his eye, but the rumor will probably spread soon.

‘The 2nd Prince contacted Lord Quartz.’

Or

‘Lord Quartz contacted the 2nd Prince.’

The truth is obviously the former, but rumors are always distorted. Someone could have thought of the latter.

Is it the former or the latter?

It was clear which one would be more advantageous to me.

“Key, you mean tea with Prince Killian…” “?” ?”

I looked at Prince Killian with the most innocent look on my face. I’m not confident in acting, but I can at least bluff.

“I want to talk to the hero of the West. If I send it back like this, won’t it be difficult to get an opportunity like this again? “Aren’t you entrusted with the important task of protecting the saint?”

“Compared to Prince Killian, who takes care of the country, it is just a small thing.”

I tried to look as nonchalant as possible and tried to give the second prince the impression that I was weak in such matters.

I wonder if that suspicious prince would be fooled by something like this, but from the perspective of the second prince who doesn’t know when he might be exiled or purged, it’s an obvious handshake to pretend to be me now.

With that in mind, I began to slightly taste the seasoning.

“Haha, I understand your concerns, but they are unnecessary. Don’t be too pressured and have a cup of tea… “

“You’re paying the price.”

Hey, it seems like landmines these days have an interlocking function. I looked at the brat with a bloodless head, or rather the 3rd prince, who appeared when I uttered an abusive language. The knights standing on both sides seemed to want to see this, but there was a feeling of unwillingness.

After all, who likes an idiot who cuts off the arm of a knight with a bright future?

From a knight’s perspective, he cannot help but be an unpleasant lord.

But what was the 3rd prince’s name?

No, I’ll tell you anyway.

“Patrick…”

“Has a half-penny like you worthy to speak to the hero of the West? Isn’t that right, Lord Quartz?”

What appeared was a corrupt guy looking up at me with poisonous eyes. It was a look that made me feel like punching me in the back of the head, but I silenced the violence inside me with superhuman patience.

You have to look like a bully here.

Instead of answering, I deliberately pretended to observe Killian’s thoughts.

Naturally, Prince Patrick, who has a violent and impatient personality, fell prey to my fake.

“Huh, are you worried about that Banpoon?”

“That’s… “

“I said heroes recognize heroes, but I’m disappointed!”

Are you really saying that Ji is a hero?

Ah, I want to hit a few people in the back.

Prince Patrick, who had no idea how I felt, poured out harsh words about Prince Killian, looked at me, and asked.

“Are you planning on joining hands with a guy like that? Think wisely.”

“Huh, but I’m just a knight.”

“Isn’t it the law for every knight to know who will be his master?”

“I gave everything to the saint.”

This is something I can firmly say, a kind of bait.

What kind of reaction will there be? I pretended to pay attention and waited for Patrick’s reaction.

Sure enough, the 3rd prince could not control his temper and got angry at me.

“Huh, the hero of the West has no clue.”

“Don’t be rude to Lord Quartz! Patrick!”

“Banpoon, you shut up! It’s not your place to intervene!”

The two brothers were snarling as if they were going to stab me at any moment. Meanwhile, I pretended not to know what to do and watched the situation.

Since the 3rd prince appeared following the 2nd prince, the possibility of the 1st prince appeared has increased significantly.

And just as I thought, a relatively familiar but unpleasant voice came from far away.

“You guys! What are you doing here now!”

“Tongue, brother…”

“Brother Leon, welcome back. “This idiot has no idea what the topic is and is all about the hero of the West.”

“When did I do that!”

“Patrick, Killian! “What kind of disgrace is this in front of Lord Quartz!”

Wow, you have a nice voice. As Leon’s voice pierced my eardrums, I looked at the faces of the two princes who were looking at him with embarrassed expressions.

No matter how much of a prince they are, their authority is not higher than that of Leon, the current crown prince.

I was delighted to see the atmosphere change in an instant. Since our relationship is bad, I expected them to fight to steal me away, but I never thought they would get involved so easily.

If you are good at tightrope walking here, you will be able to get away with a decent amount of money.

“Apologize to Lord Quartz right away!”

Hey, look at that shit-chewing face. But what can you do?

1 What can you do when you are not even a prince?

“I’m sorry, Lord Quartz.”

“Oh, no.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

“Hmm. By the way, Sir Quartz. “I never thought we would meet again like this.”

“I never imagined that I would be able to meet Prince Leon again.”

“Since it’s like this, why don’t you chat with me for the first time in a while? Haha!”

How does it not deviate even an inch from expectations? I looked at Leon, who was laughing loudly. But, as if it was regrettable to end it like this, Killian called out to Leon, who was about to take me somewhere.

“Brother, can I participate too? “I also want to hear the story of Lord Quartz.”

“Big brother, so am I.”

“Okay! Let’s go together!”

Just like that, my lightning meeting of the three princes came to fruition.

————–

“So, have you fooled the devil?”

“Yes.”

Haha! This was a very interesting person!”

“That’s really amazing.”

“I guess the devil wasn’t a big deal.”

I looked at the three people’s thoughts while unraveling a somewhat dramatized story about the war in the West.

The 1st prince didn’t seem to think anything of it right now, but the 2nd and 3rd princes were waging a war of nerves, glaring at each other as if they couldn’t give up on me.

It feels a bit strange to be targeted by men.

I’m so glad this is a normal straight game…

“A knight who caught the devil… I never would have guessed that a talented person like you was hiding in every corner of the country.”

Since when did Kalon become a village?

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t he a waste of talent to just be a guard knight?”

I read the greed flowing from the eyes of the 2nd and 3rd princes.

They want to somehow recruit me, who is gaining fame, to increase their power.

If they can somehow bring me into their faction, as I have the support of the entire West, they will be able to gain an upper hand in the battle for the throne.

Considering that the current most powerful people in the West are Archbishop Pierre and Viscount Sicrind, or now the Count, it was obvious that there was a calculation that he could gain ties to the West by becoming friendly with me.

If the 1st prince has a strong support base, it’s obvious that the 2nd and 3rd princes are desperate to gain my support in any way possible.

“That’s right! That’s right! But Sir Quartz is a guard knight who protects the saintess! How could he tie up someone who is entrusted with such an important task?”

“Isn’t there a ‘mad dog’ next to him? And wouldn’t it be a big loss for a hero like this to remain as someone’s bodyguard?”

In an increasingly heated argument, I opened my mouth with a firm face for the first time.

“I became a knight to protect the saint. “How could I abandon the saint?”

The princes looked at each other at my sudden remark.

“But the reason you invited me to this event is because you think highly of me.”

“I see. A hero like you deserve it.”

Prince Killian nodded his head in agreement with what I said. As the 2nd prince reacted in such a way, the 3rd prince, who was burning with competition, also showed a favorable response to me.

“A hero must be treated like a hero.”

Then send it to me slowly.

“Well, I am truly touched that you think so highly of me. Once again, I am filled with respect for the royal family that has produced such wise people as the princes.”

I looked around at the princes, trying hard to pretend to be moved. The princes looked at me with different expressions.

“Hmm…You know something!”

I’m better at flattering than I thought. I was secretly amazed at the feast of random words that came out of my throat. Although it seems like the first prince was the only one who was deceived…

Try a little more wit fighting.

If possible, give me a gift.

“Leon. Kalintz has come to visit.”

“Say, let’s go.”

As soon as Leon left his mouth, the door opened and Mr. Kalintz appeared, looking as calm as always.

“Hey, Prince Leon. “It’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while, Kalinz. “What are you doing here?”

“I stopped by because I heard the guest I was brought here. It’s almost time to go back.”

Perhaps because it was the words of Kalintz, who, although a former duke, still exerted a strong influence, the princes let me go as if there was nothing else to do.

“Did you say you would stay in the capital for a few days?”

“Yes.”

“Your story was interesting! I hope we can talk one more time before I go back! Haha!”

“To be called by His Highness Leon…It is an honor for the family.”

What glory does my family need?

“I want to hear the part about you exorcising the devil again, so please come visit me sometime.”

“A knight like you will be an example to others, so I hope you can show your skills to other knights later.”

I answered the love call of the three princes with an emotional voice.

“How could I refuse as a subject of the empire! “I will run as you called me!”

ATMs, pay tribute to me.
