The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{Nothing changes}

Theodore’s eyes were staring at Yuria with a refreshing expression.

A few seconds of silence passed, and Theodore, who opened his mouth to end the silence, said his evaluation of Yuria.

“Princess Yuria, you’re more interesting than I thought.”

Yuria snorted at Theodore’s evaluation.

“You understand now? No, you are still lacking. No matter how good you are, you are not a woman that can be evaluated lightly by your imagination. Even if you look like this, you will surely surpass yourself one day and become the strongest swordsman on the continent. Because.”

“It’s an impossible dream? The strongest swordsman on the continent, wouldn’t it be better to dream of becoming the second strongest swordsman on the continent?”

“Oh, really!”

Yuria felt her scabbard tremble, but she suppressed her irritation for a moment.

“Do I really have to say that at a time like this?”

“It’s better than lying. Since you came out honestly and sincerely, even if I didn’t want to hear it, I just answered the truth.”

“Ha! It’s hard to argue with that.”

I wonder if it was someone else’s words, but since they were Theodore’s words, Yuria had no choice but to admit them.

She actually knew her too.

She knew that her talents were so far apart that no matter how many years she tried, she couldn’t keep up with Theodore’s months of effort.

“Yes, it’s good to admit that. Humans who have fallen into vain delusions and become reckless are bound to perish without grasping their own capabilities.”

“Are you talking about William of the Duke of Artin?”

“That guy is included, but he’s a particularly extreme case. Compared to me, you’re like a firefly in front of the sun, but you’re still more talented than everyone else. So don’t be obsessed with it and face reality. I’m advising you to figure it out.”

“…Hey, Prince Theodore? Is that what the person who is most obsessed with his talent is saying?”

“I’m not infatuated. I’m always cold and tell the truth. Didn’t you just admit that?”

“Ha! Yes, this is Prince Theodore.”

Yuria also smiled slightly at the end.

“Then teach me some more swordsmanship. I’ll check how well that proud person teaches.”

Theodore said at Yuria’s provocative words.

“You say it interestingly, Princess Yuria. Are you trying to evaluate me?”

“Why? There’s nothing wrong with it. Prince Theodore, you also wrongly evaluated me on your own, and I corrected that wrong evaluation. Is there any reason why I can’t evaluate you?”

This time Theodore was silent for a moment.

“As expected, she was more interesting than I thought. You’re not wrong. Yes, you deserve it.”

The fact that Theodore recognized her made Yuria unconsciously feel happy.

No, she went beyond simply feeling joy and even smiled on her beautiful face at the joy rising from her heart.

“Yes. You might regret it because you might run out of things to teach you?”

“Don’t you think you’ll learn that well? Don’t overestimate yourself.”

“Don’t underestimate me! I’ll show you that I can easily exceed your imagination!”

“Okay? Would you like to show me now?”

“Yes! I’ll show you clearly!”

Yuria, who answered enthusiastically, took her sword and took a posture.

And remembering what happened earlier, she tried to find the exact timing to attack Theodore this time, but she couldn’t believe that Theodore’s loophole was a real loophole.

‘I’ll give you a shot.’

I wasn’t sure if I would succeed.

But even if she didn’t succeed, it was important for her to move with that goal in mind.

She thought that she had better set a goal and move than to sit back, giving up that she would fail at all.

‘But be careful.’

But the attack had to be done as carefully as possible.

Even if this attack fails, she will only be overpowered and will not die, but she decides to do her best to attack as if it were a real battle, and slowly changes the techniques of swordsmanship she has learned to suit her body. Unfolded as it was.

“Haaagh!”

Her thrust with all her might flew toward Theodore, and I saw Theodore’s sword move swiftly and slash her sword away.

“What?!”

YuRia, who was hit by her swordsmanship, which had completely different power than her cunning swordsmanship shown earlier, was disturbed by the difference in her strength. And even as she pointed her sword at her neck, Theodore reached out her left hand and held her hand, lest she fall.

* * *

‘She’s actually more fun than you think?’

While holding Yuria’s hand, Theodore felt that she had no choice but to evaluate the woman named Yuria Arsane differently.

She has always admitted that she looks beautiful. She

She has big breasts, her hips are strong, her waist is slim, and her legs are beautiful. She

She was the heir to the Skylord duchy, and she thought that if she married her, she would marry her and she would marry her.

But she didn’t necessarily want to marry her.

As long as she didn’t look bad, she honestly thought that anyone would be fine, as long as she was an arranged marriage.

Even when he designated her as his fiancée in his Skylord duchy, he took her indifferently, to be honest.

He had no intention of opening his heart to anyone other than In the first place.

But I had to admit what I had to admit.

‘It sounds interesting.’

Just like she was before, it seemed that I couldn’t look at her without thinking about anything more than a quick woman who was curiously aware of herself.

At least she was intrigued by a woman named Yulia Arsane, and it seemed to be subtly amusing that she had simply agreed to teach her swordsmanship as a duty.

“Did I tell you? I don’t think you’ll learn well.”

“Oops! Let’s see! I’m sure it will surprise you!”

Seeing her resolve, Theodore looked at her in silence for a moment.

She felt strange seeing her figure.

‘It’s definitely not different from usual, but it looks different.’

I guess it was because I had something interesting.

She made her rant that she would show that she could lightly exceed her own imagination, but that would be too much now.

Because he had an upvote about her achievements as her swordsman.

“Why do you look like that?”

“I’m thinking about how to make you an excellent swordsman.”

Yuria’s blue eyes widened slightly in surprise.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard that you’re worried.”

“I always think before I speak. I have never spoken without thinking. What about you? Are you the type to speak recklessly without thinking?”

“…Let go of my hand quickly. I need to hit you once.”

“It’s impossible to wake up after dying dozens of times with your current skills, so please set that as your goal and keep working hard.”

“Yes! I will definitely give you a shot!”

Theodore noticed that YuRia was smiling as she said that.

She was surprised to see her smiling as if she was Theodore she knew.

‘You look happy even when you’re angry. It’s so strange.’

Theodore made a promise to Duke Arsene that she would protect Yuria Arsane. But it was her duty to protect her fiancée, so he was just following her duty, and he had no special feelings.

She still hadn’t thought deeply about her.

But she seemed like it wouldn’t hurt to change her mind a bit.

‘I’ll have to pay more attention and teach him.’

She would keep watching to see how strong she could become.

With that thought in mind, Theodore slowly let go of her hand and suddenly noticed that YuRia, who was standing facing her on the floor, had sweat on her forehead.

Although she failed, it was only natural that she was sweating as she focused her mind to give herself the blow of conversion.

But I felt something I hadn’t paid attention to before.

‘This scent.’

He felt a scent sting his nose, and Theodore immediately recognized where it was coming from.

Yuria Arsane has a good body scent.

It was something she always knew.

But of course she had never been conscious of it.

It was because it was just a fact that was so obvious, like the scent of a flower, that she always overlooked it to the point where she didn’t even feel the value of being conscious of it.

But for some reason, the scent coming from her now became her consciousness, and she felt anxious.

‘I’m a little interested, so there’s a change in this point of view.’

He, who did not even show interest in others in the first place, felt for the first time that there was a change in his point of view just by becoming interested.

‘We’ve been together for a while now, and since I was interested in what you said earlier, it seems like you’ve given me even a little affection. This….’

I thought I should focus on teaching first.

“Ha ha… Ha ha…”

Yuria was lying facedown on her floor, completely exhausted.

She collapsed, her whole body drenched in sweat, her long silver hair disheveled and messy, but she didn’t even have the strength to straighten her hair.

No, she didn’t even have the strength to stand up before that, she used up all her strength.

“Ah, I just wanted to give you a shot…”

Seeing that it was done in her house, she didn’t use her energy, and as a result of seeing the fight with only physical ability and skill, she was like this, even though she poured all her strength until she was exhausted, she only had one attack. Also failed to hit.

She fought with all her strength for over an hour, but it was very regrettable that she had failed in the end.

‘If I give that handsome face a shot, it would be really refreshing.’

And I wanted to see him look at him with a surprised expression.

She always imagined the sight of him staring at her in amazement as he punched her in the face, arrogantly assessing herself, but she soon gave up.

It only has meaning when it actually happens, because what I imagined was only a delusion of my own.

“This is enough for training, but in actual combat, it’s better to pay attention to the distribution of stamina. Human stamina is weaker than you think.”

At Theodore’s words, Yuria spoke with a glancing glance.

“I know that much. Today, I just wanted to give you a shot, so I gathered up my stamina and ended up like this.”

“Yes, and stretched out on the floor. They said they would surpass my imagination, but they certainly did.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I never imagined that today, a princess lying on the floor in front of me, covered in sweat, would be seen. Congratulations.”

Yuria felt as if she would die from hating him for lightly applauding.

Even if she is definitely in front of her fiancé, the figure she shows now is of a noble family… Even that was not something a princess of a duchy would show.

The sight of her voluptuous breasts moving up and down on her as she breathed, even from the top of her clothes, would have made her feel ashamed, especially if she was a modest princess.

But Yuria didn’t cry as she was ashamed of this much as she dreamed of being a prosecutor.

Her tenacity was that if she had time to cry, she would swing her sword even once more.

But she was pissed off.

“Oh, my God. I will definitely give that human a shot.”

“The other day they said they would kill me and go to heaven?”

“Oh, kinda! You’re really annoying!”

As soon as Yuria eventually recovered her physical strength to some extent, she immediately raised her upper body.

Then she slowly trimmed her hair, and Theodore looked at her and said,

“Anger always motivates a goal, and at least you are certain of one motive before and now.”

At Theodore’s words, Yuria gave a satisfied smile.

“Huh, that’s natural. Coming here doesn’t change anything. My dream has always been to become a renowned swordsman on the continent, and my wish has always been to give you a shot!”

“Yes, anything is good. If a dream is not impossible, the bigger it is, the better it is, and it is common to wish for something that cannot come true.”

“…I think it would be better if you just said the first thing.”

“If you’re angry, prove me wrong. I’ll give you any deadline.”

At those words, Yuria slightly opened her eyes and looked at him.

“How much?”

“Yes. Since I decided to teach you, I will raise your skills until you can truly become a swordsman who will make a name for himself on the continent.”

And Theodore added a word.

“And one more thing. You’ve already shown me things beyond my imagination.”

“Yes?”

“You’re a much more interesting woman than I thought. Interesting enough.”
