The Academy’s Savage Swordsman

6. The Prince’s Birthday Party

The sharpened sword aimed at the neck. Fierce swordsmanship. It was a blow that quite a few swordsmen couldn’t even react to, but the opponent skillfully blocked the sword and counterattacked.

A technique aimed at the weak point of the human body is used, and the sword is missed as it is. If I hadn’t let go, my arm would have been broken.

“Ugh-!”

“hahahaha, unfortunately. young master.”

Missing the sword, I looked at the senior knight with a slight frown. lost. lost again

‘Not yet… … .’

I looked at the knights around me who were watching the fight and exclaiming. Apprentice knights or novice knights who have just been appointed as knights.

Against such knights, he was able to win without any problems. It was the older senior knights who were the problem.

Combat specialists who have already gone through several real battles. It wasn’t easy to overcome against the weapons of war, thinking about how to take down people better and kill them every day.

‘Am I lacking in experience?’

As I pondered over my lips, the senior engineer who overcame me in one fell swoop smiled and opened his mouth as if telling me not to worry.

“young master. Don’t worry. From what I’ve seen, Bocchan’s talent is real. I’ve never seen talent like this anywhere.”

“really?”

“Yes. At such a young age, with a body that hadn’t even grown up, at this level… I can’t even guess how many people will be able to beat you when you grow up.”

The reason why I couldn’t believe that it was just word of mouth was because the senior knight’s expression was full of excitement.

these are knights A knight following the Mayer family. Naturally, as the master’s honor rises, their honor also rises.

If, in the not-too-distant future, their new owner showed outstanding talent, it was something to bless, not envy.

“You are amazing. young master.”

Kids my age would just love to hear a compliment like this. But I wasn’t satisfied with this level of praise.

‘Not enough.’

I’m still hungry.

can be stronger

Standing up holding my sword, I looked at the senior knight and said.

“One more round.”

“—Yes.”

The knight swung his sword as if he had waited.

Every time swords collide with each other, they are trained little by little.

Thousand swings only, but ten thousand swings are a lot.

Training means tens of thousands of swings.

Up to 10 million swings, 9,999,999 more.

There is one story that the Hellchangers can sympathize with.

‘I want to quit the company and go to the gym every day.’

Unfortunately, there was no Helchang that personally implemented this maxim.

Because humans are social animals, and there come days when you have to do things you don’t want to do.

I let out a sigh inside the carriage as it rushes furiously.

“I don’t want to go.”

“Kyle. … … In fact, this father doesn’t want to go either.”

The Count laughed awkwardly as he said that. It was as if he couldn’t do anything about it.

In a way, it was natural. Because what happened today wasn’t something that the count could ignore.

‘What kind of birthday party is this big?’

Today was the day of the prince’s 10th birthday party.

The day when all the nobles of the empire gather.

It was also an event that the Mayer family, named the Empire’s Guardian Sword and Empire’s Guardian Knight, could not attend at all.

‘In my house, I don’t celebrate my birthday either.’

The reason I didn’t celebrate my birthday was simple. My family doesn’t take care of face like that, and most of all, my birthday is coming soon—.

‘Because it’s my mother’s anniversary.’

It’s a day to celebrate but not to celebrate. Couldn’t we celebrate the death of the mistress of the family?

I don’t know if the count had taken a new wife or had a concubine after that. The Count was a single-minded lover who had only seen one woman in his entire life.

“But Dad.”

“Why.”

“What kind of birthday party is this big? I don’t think I did last year.”

“Ah, that’s what you mean.”

There was another reason why I was a bit lumpy. It was because I had never been to the imperial palace last year or the year before last, or even once in my life, for the prince’s birthday party.

If you’re going to do it, do it every year, what’s the reason for suddenly doing it?

The Count easily explained the reason.

“Now that medicine is developing and there are priests, children don’t die easily—but even in the past, most children died before they reached the age of 10.”

“Oh, so?”

“yes. It was foolish to celebrate a child’s birthday before the age of ten, as both royalty and nobles died. This has become a tradition, so the birthday of the royal family is greatly celebrated when they are 10 years old.”

The infant mortality rate in the Middle Ages was very high. If you give birth to three, one will die.

And that’s what happened in this world too. Even if the survival rate of nobles and royalty is high, one in ten dies.

Of course, now that treatment and medicine using magic and sacred arts have advanced, the infant mortality rate has hit bottom.

“It’s all here.”

At the Count’s words, I secretly looked out the window.

The ecliptic is visible in the distance.

And even on the ecliptic, the most magnificent building can be seen.

A building so magnificent that you can’t even imagine how much money was spent on it.

‘Should I be happy that the country has a lot of money?’

Or should I be concerned that the imperial family has become over-exploited with ostentation?

Leaving my worries behind, the carriage entered the ecliptic.

‘Come to think of it.’

Prince’s 10th birthday party.

A place where all nobles of the empire participate.

‘Is he coming too?’

I thought of my long-lost fiancé and imagined how she would have grown up.

I wish I could get better at just smiling.

After arriving at the Imperial City, we changed our clothes at the accommodation we had booked in advance and headed straight to the Imperial Palace.

After forcibly putting on an awkward tuxedo that he had never worn in his entire life, from both his past and present lives, the desire to take it off right away welled up.

‘It doesn’t even fit… … .’

As I pulled on my tie and slightly frowned, the Count spoke carefully as he smoothed out the wrinkles on my clothes.

“Kyle, you have to be careful when you go there.”

“Be careful with your words. Right?”

“yes. Well, as long as I stick with my dad, there won’t be any accidents at all… … .”

The Count looked down at me with a worried mutter. Seeing that, I laughed inwardly.

I’m not a child, so what’s there to worry about?

‘Oh right. I’m a baby.’

Come to think of it, I was still a kid.

Thinking that I should listen to adults like a child, I smiled and told him not to worry.

I have no intention of buying or selling here. No, I never had an accident in the first place. The Count is worrying unnecessarily.

The Count, who did not let go of his suspicious expression until the end, took me to the party. The knights standing at the entrance of the party searched our bodies- and we finally went inside.

“Guardian Knight of the Empire. Count Karl Meyer and his son Prince Kyle Meyer are entering!”

At the same time as the gatekeeper’s cry, the gazes of the nobles inside rushed towards us at the same time.

The quick-footed nobles had already walked towards us.

The Count welcomed them and greeted them warmly.

“Long time no see. baron.”

“Oh I see. Next time, I’ll be sure to stop by the Marquis’ estate… … .”

“Yes, I understand. Regarding that—”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Next to the Count, who was chatting with nobles, I stood smiling as if I had become a doll.

I couldn’t intervene in adult conversations. In fact, I also wanted to not understand what the nobles were talking about.

After standing there for a while, I could spot a child waving at me in the distance.

“Dad.”

“Uh, uh- Kyle. What’s happen.”

“I’ll be over there.”

When I pointed to the place where the young and noble ladies of the same age as me were gathered, the count nodded as if it was good.

After slightly loosening the tuxedo that was tight around my neck, I went to the place where the aristocrats were gathering.

“Kyle, long time no see.”

Fiancé after 5 years, Yuri Grace. She greeted me with an expression still as cold as ice.

Looking at my fiancé whom I haven’t seen in a long time, I smiled heartily.

“Oh, Yuri. long time no see.”

“Yeah, it’s been a while.”

“How did you practice laughing?”

“I did a lot. My father also praised me.”

“yes? Let’s see.”

I smiled and tried to see how hard my fiancé had practiced, but Yuri shook her head expressionlessly.

“no.”

“… Why?”

“Father told me not to show it.”

At those words, I was a little puzzled. No, did you get angry because you didn’t show your face once in 5 years?

Even though he’s a fiancée- you’re not even going to let my fiancé smile?

Fortunately, the reason she didn’t show a smile wasn’t such a clumsy reason.

“… You shouldn’t carelessly show a smile to a man outside.”

“No, why am I a man outside? I’m your fiancé.”

“I’m still only engaged, and I’m not married… He told me not to show it carelessly.”

“ah.”

It was definitely retaliation for what he said at the end, saying he didn’t like it.

Realizing that this was all on my own, I sighed deeply as I grabbed my face.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

No matter how it is, is the back end this strong?

‘This is why the northerners… … .’

As I stared at Yuri’s grown breasts with her head down, Yuri turned around, covering her breasts, as if she felt the gaze.

I couldn’t confirm her smile, but I could see her growth, so just when I thought I was satisfied enough, someone spoke to me.

“What are you two talking about?”

Turning my head slightly, I saw a cute boy with blonde hair smiling in front of the two of us.

While I was just tilting my head, not knowing who it was, Yuri, who was next to me, bowed straight down as if recognizing the boy in front of me and greeted him politely.

“Yuri Gracie sees His Highness the Prince.”

“Ah, yes. Please take good care of me.”

Realizing that the boy in front of me was the prince, the main character of the party, I followed Yuri and greeted him in the same way.

“Kyle Meyer is pleased to see His Highness the Prince.”

“Ah, you… … .”

Hearing my name, the prince began to pretend to know me, as if he remembered something.

Seeing that, the prince tilted his head, and the prince began to introduce himself with a grin.

“Bellion Dyros. I’m the 3rd prince, and I’m the same age as you.”

“Oh, can I talk to you then?”

“Yes?”

“They say they’re the same age, so aren’t they friends?”

Bellion, who heard my words, looked at me as if he was embarrassed for a moment, then burst into laughter as if he liked it.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! yes. Good! Let’s be friends, Kyle!”

“I’m counting on you. Bellion.”

“ha ha ha!”

He even grabbed his hand and waved it up and down. Seeing that, not only Yuri, but also the people around her began to change their expressions every moment.

While tilting his head, wondering why he was doing that, only Bellion, who had made a friend, burst out laughing hahahaha.
