Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 150:

Millennium has become noisy.

There were rumors that the imperial knights were following someone other than the prince.

He was even more surprised to learn that the person being honored was none other than Raymond.

“Oh, no way… that guy with such high pride said that?”

“No, that’s because it’s real. “Go and have a look.”

“I still can’t believe it… but I can’t even imagine what it looks like.”

It was an incomprehensible rumor.

A knight of the Empire serves Raymond.

It was unimaginable.

The imperial knights were very confident.

In contrast to the large number of people in the empire, the largest country on the continent, the number of knights was not very large.

The empire was strictly based on merit. The first condition to become a knight is to be an Auror user, and even for those below Sword Expert level, they remain as apprentice knights.

As such, the knights had great pride in being knights.

Their chivalry was so great that it was rumored that they would serve the master they had chosen for their entire lives and would not change even if their lives were in danger.

Even if they committed a crime, people would support them over the victims.

Therefore, it was difficult for them to even dream of serving anyone other than their master.

That’s what I thought, and I thought the rumors spreading around the city were simply false.

“Crack… I brought it here.”

There was one knight wearing a tight-fitting suit rather than the leather armor he usually wore.

“The sound of teeth grinding can be heard all the way from here. “I don’t like that sound, so be careful.”

“…All right.”

He gritted his teeth at my words.

The back of my head felt sore, so I turned to him and saw him quickly turning his head to avoid my gaze.

It seemed like he was glaring at me… but since I have a generous heart, I decided to just overlook it.

‘Anyway, what should I do with Baan?’

I motioned for Carly to put the tea cup away and looked up at the ceiling with my arms crossed.

“Fuck…”

I thought I heard him swear as he went out, but I ignored it and continued my thoughts.

‘I don’t mind sending it back as is, but… it would be a shame to just send it away.’

How many times will I live to see the prince?

It could be seen that there was almost nothing.

To begin with, he and I came from different countries, and now I can say that I lead a very busy life.

They were busy stockpiling their strength in preparation for Ahar’s invasion.

“If you leave it like that anyway, it’s obvious that you will die in the battle for the throne.”

He and I may be strangers, but it still doesn’t feel good to think of someone I know getting killed.

Still, we are getting closer to him little by little now, but it would be difficult to remain calm if I heard that he had returned and died.

I’ll be in a bad mood that day.

‘But it’s hard for me to do something.’

It would have been easier to help if he had been a member of the royal family of Serion or if I had been one of the nobles of the empire.

But the reality was not like that.

He and I lived in different countries, but my country was not stronger than his.

On the surface, it seemed like there was absolutely no way I could help him.

“It’s not that it doesn’t exist at all, but it’s more difficult.”

It’s just that it’s difficult, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way.

There are a few things you can find if you’re looking for them.

“If you help me and then get stabbed in the back, I’ll be in a lot of trouble.”

I was worried about whether I could help him or not.

If I help him and then get betrayed by him, I become nothing.

If you help someone for no reason, you may end up in a situation where you end up spending money and getting nothing out of it.

Therefore, even if you try to help someone, you have no choice but to be cautious.

This is why the first impression of a person is important.

No matter how nice a person is, if the first impression is not good, it will take a long time for you to eventually trust that person.

If you catch even one of them, you may end up not being able to trust that person until the end.

So, I try to make a good impression unless we have a really hostile relationship or start an argument first.

‘Ha, I’m really worried.’

Should I help you or not?

I scratched my head and thought about it before getting up from my seat.

There was nothing I could gain from sitting like this and thinking about it, so I decided to move my body.

If I was worried or confused, I had no choice but to find out by physically confronting it.

“Where is the prince?”

“Prince, why…?”

As soon as she could mention the prince, Kali frowned and became wary.

I said to him with the same frown.

“What are you going to do with that? I think you’ve forgotten where you are now…”

“…I’ll guide you.”

He chewed his lips and lowered his head to me.

I don’t know why I’m wasting my energy by making people come here, when that would have happened a long time ago.

“Carly…! Ah…”

“You… take care of yourselves.”

The imperial knights who recognized Kali and were approaching turned to Kali and made pitiful faces as if they had seen me.

Since they were there, they knew why Carly was working for me.

That’s why I looked at Kali with pity.

“Where is the prince?”

“Um… he’s in there.”

He lowered his head at the looks of his colleagues and asked through gritted teeth.

The knights patted his shoulder and pointed to where the prince was.

“I guess you can’t see me in your eyes?”

Just as I was about to pass the knights, I caught them.

No matter how much they don’t like me, I am their superior.

Even if the countries were different, the difference between the son of a count and an ordinary knight was clear.

So, even though it is difficult to treat them politely, it makes no sense to pretend not to know them like you are now.

I should at least say hello.

“….”

At my words, they stared at me fiercely and fell silent.

Some people looked back at Carly and me and clenched their fists.

A promise is a promise, so I didn’t say anything about how I used Kali, but the way I treated them was different.

At least they could tell me their complaints or complaints.

But that doesn’t mean you can ignore it.

“What are you looking at so blankly?”

“…Meet Raymond Millennium.”

I dispersed my energy and glared at them, and only then did they slightly bow their heads to me.

Those faces were still full of hostility.

They were so blatantly hostile to me that it seemed as if they would swing their swords if they met me as an enemy.

‘Millennium admits it, but I can’t.’

You could say hello to me without having to add the millennium.

It may not seem like it, but I was definitely appointed as a knight of the kingdom.

They could have treated me as a knight, but they did not recognize me as one.

The reason they greet me is because I am the son of Count Millennium, the archmage and owner of the Magic Tower.

‘It doesn’t really matter.’

It didn’t matter whether they acknowledged me or not.

No matter what their intentions are, they should not ignore me, at least on the outside where others can see.

Since I was greeted, I thought I had nothing more to say to them and was walking down the street when a thought suddenly occurred to me, so I stopped and spoke to them.

“It doesn’t matter to me, but at least don’t make that face in front of your master. “That’s really not nice to see.”

“….”

They bit their lips and glared at me.

Now that their business was truly done, they followed Carly into the building.

“Oh, you’re here.”

When I entered the room, Baan welcomed me warmly.

In the meantime, he appeared to have brightened considerably.

I glanced next to me to see if I could overcome the hallucinations without any problems, and smiled as if it was no big deal.

‘If you have that level of recovery, you won’t be hallucinating any time soon.’

It was difficult at first, but once you started to endure it, everything was easy.

Once you recognize that it is fake and cannot cause any harm to you, you can no longer be afraid of hallucinations.

“You are out.”

“….”

At my words, Kali looked at Baan for a moment, then bowed her head with a resigned look and left.

After continuously emitting aura and confirming that no one was around, I pulled a chair and sat down in front of the bed where Baan was sitting.

“What brings you here?”

He tilted his head as he looked at me, as if he was both happy and curious about my sudden visit.

I looked at him like that and thought about it until the last word he spoke.

I wonder if I can really say this and if I can trust him.

How can I trust that he won’t betray me?

As I looked at him, all kinds of thoughts tormented me.

I even began to question whether I should go to this extent to help him.

However, if I was going to help anyway, I thought it would be easier to help without hesitation.

“Can you keep what you say from now on a complete secret?”

“…?”

“You must keep it a secret because it is confidential information.”

Baan cupped his chin and made a worried face.

I was sobbing and couldn’t come up with an answer for a while.

I waited for him calmly.

I didn’t think that I could say that I understood without even hearing the reason when I was speaking in such a serious tone.

“You can keep your secrets. “But why are you doing this?”

“You promise to keep it a secret?”

“yes. “I’ve received so many, but I wonder if I can’t keep that one secret.”

It’s not small enough to be considered ‘that’.

He nodded, took a scroll out of his pocket, and tore it up on the spot.

Jjiik- Woouuung!

The mana from the scroll circulated around the room and seeped into the walls, windows, and doors.

He said this to the prince who was staring at him blankly.

“I heard that the prince was pushed out of the right to succeed to the throne.”

“….”

The atmosphere calmed down as I continued.

“That’s…”

He started to say something but then closed his mouth.

He pursed his lips, frowned from time to time, and clenched his fists so tightly that they turned white due to the blood not flowing through them.

I wasn’t embarrassed by his behavior as if he was uncomfortable with what I said.

He didn’t know that those words were like taboo words for him.

It was like an adversity for him, who had no choice but to give up because he was less capable and stronger than his brothers and sisters.

I also thought about fully accepting him even if he got angry.

But fortunately, he wasn’t angry with me.

He suppressed his emotions and looked at me as if he was going to listen to what I had to say until the end.

That sight became special for no reason.

It looked so much better compared to the first time.

At first, it was difficult to say anything because he was hot-tempered and irritable.

I was a little surprised to see such a person so polite.

I thought people could change this much.

‘Okay, I’m going to believe it. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to believe for once that things have changed so much.’

If things have changed to that extent, I won’t break my promise even if they react negatively to my words.

With that thought in mind, I immediately opened my mouth.

“Don’t you want to become emperor?”

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds….

The room was filled with silence for a moment.

“Yes?!”

I was filled with astonishment.
