The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Episode 20 Obviously Wrong (End)

I thought so at the time.

But.

Looking back, I had the thought that it might have been the wrong choice.

If you think about it, there was definitely a reason why you couldn’t get rid of him easily even when you knew his skills were terrible.

The hard work he has done to me… Yes, he never really felt that he needed them when it came to commitment, but he did it because he would feel empty if it was gone.

However.

At the same time, he thought it was something he had to overcome in the end.

Even animals become independent, but as a human being, I couldn’t just rely on those emotions.

But now things have changed again.

What Yujin showed her in Dalian was because it was hard to see that she had no skills.

I changed the premise.

As Eugene was actually talented.

She was admitted to the academy as the top performer, and it was pure skill without any corruption.

“…… “

He didn’t particularly want to believe.

If the premise were established, she would become a pitiful woman who made a foolish choice.

But after changing the premise like that, a lot of things were explained.

The academy secretly gives special treatment.

Things like Her Highness’ openly favoring him.

Actually, unless the academy or the princess are fools, it doesn’t make sense to be fooled by one person.

Then, what is Eugene’s current address?

‘… First class knight?’

It’s very likely.

Based on that, Her Highness is estimated to be between the 2nd and 1st class, so if she wants to be the senior, she must be at a higher level than that.

There is a Master above the 1st level.

However.

‘… There’s no way he’s a master.’

Ruina shook her head inwardly.

Not everyone can become a master.

Among the masters in the empire, the youngest is almost 40 years old.

When he became a master, almost everyone in the empire praised him as the greatest genius of all time.

Ruina also agreed with that, and it was also the path she had to take in the future.

The level that such a genius can only reach when he is over 40 is master, but Eugene, who is only half-lived, is the master?

That’s a ridiculous assumption.

He was willing to get down on his knees and beg, if that was right, he would put his ego and everything aside.

‘… That’s too far-fetched.’

Louis I had vague memories of seeing her master in person.

Because they attended events led by the emperor at the end or beginning of the year.

She felt they couldn’t possibly be considered the same person.

The sky above the sky.

I thought that just by looking at their momentum.

The higher she was, the bigger the gap was felt.

Of course, I didn’t see their fight in person.

Because a case that the master could deal with directly amounted to a national crisis.

Comparing past records with Eugene’s momentum, it’s clear…

I came to the conclusion that Eugene was not up to Master.

Generally, the magical restraints that bound him were only possible when there was a considerable difference in level, but it was not unconditional.

I wonder if Eugene used something similar to the Taranhilt family’s secret technique.

“… Probably.”

Why did he use that on himself? During sparring.

It’s not difficult, I was able to understand.

Because he hated himself.

It deserved it.

I was aware that my actions were betraying Eugene’s devotion.

Of course, I never hoped for such devotion, but I knew that was the general sentiment.

So I thought it was worth hating.

But I couldn’t help it.

Everyone is different, and what can I do with my personality like this?

Breaking off the marriage was something he had prepared for Yujin’s resentment.

That’s why I didn’t get angry when I heard him say ‘get off’.

In that respect, I understood Eugene’s actions.

But there were parts I didn’t understand.

As soon as Eugene came to the academy, he showed his skills as if he had waited.

Aside from how her skills suddenly improved, looking at her actions alone, it was quite artificial.

To the point where it feels as if he is deliberately trying to f*ck me up.

I even made that assumption.

The truth is that Eugene didn’t like her engagement, so she said that for five years she had been maliciously hiding her skills from herself.

But there is no motive and no benefit.

Most people, including Eugene, don’t take sudden actions without any motive or benefit.

Unless it was a psychopath.

Then what the heck… Why did Eugene show off his skills so suddenly?

Maybe… Is that skill really perfect?

Maybe there are some restrictions, for example.

Suddenly, I remembered a conversation I had with him in the past.

His words, which he dismissed as nonsense every time,

“Didn’t I tell you that there will be a twist when you turn 20?”

“Now I am fed up with lies.”

The odds of that being true have increased significantly.

Then, how did what she said to him resonate with him?

I remembered the sparring with Eugene.

Eugene’s body and mana gradually deteriorated, but his ability to use them remained the same.

Because he was like that, he thought that he might pass the Legion briefly.

“… It’s not important, let’s move on.”

You can’t change the past, so what can you do by blaming yourself for the past?

Rui I decided to think about what to do in the future rather than dwelling on the past.

If Eugene’s skills were real…

I was willing to join him again.

People’s emotions don’t come off and stick together like glue, but isn’t Eugene’s feeling of hatred ultimately rooted in lingering feelings?

So he will accept it if you ask him to break off the engagement and get back together.

Of course, assuming he shows that kind of sincerity.

Basically, bending over your pride and going in should be a priority…

This wasn’t some stupid misjudgment.

It was a reasonable inference based on what he had seen and heard over the past twenty years.

Specific plans… I won’t be late even if I check Yujin’s skills and then weave them.

If it’s level 2… It was a bit vague.

Certainly, the first class was enough to get engaged again.

As a proud man, he must have been quite upset when he broke up with him, so he should think of a way to appease him.

He had a clear reason for thinking of breaking up the engagement.

A first-class knight at the age of 20.

It is a talent that is expected to emerge every few decades.

A level that can be called a genius representing a generation.

Perhaps Eugene had that level of a situation.

However. “Perhaps” Is a problematic word.

He thought he was probably first class, but in fact, if it wasn’t, wouldn’t he just repeat the same mistakes?

So it was necessary to confirm.

Is Eugene really reaching level 1?

‘What I have to do right now.’

That was clear.

We’ll have to prepare a stage to evaluate him.

We need to put in a person who can evaluate him.

Because his own level was on the threshold of level 3 and looking at level 2, it was somewhat disappointing to evaluate him accurately.

Isn’t it something to be engaged again or each to go his own way only after evaluating him and determining the authenticity of his skills?

The stage and the person to evaluate him.

Even if the stage is like that…

‘I’ll need an assistant.’

A person with the ability to evaluate Eugene.

I couldn’t come up with the right person right away.

But since I have a lot of time, it would be good to think slowly.

Smart-.

“I will go in.”

In the meantime, there was a man who entered the door with a knock.

I looked up and saw a familiar face.

“Long time no see. Lady Louisa. You’re still going strong.”

He greeted her politely.

Tarancio Torio.

Heir to Count Torrio, currently active as an academy professor at a young age, he had a relationship with Ruina.

“I heard that you were injured in an unfortunate incident during class. You have no idea how anxious I was.”

“It was just a happening.”

Tarancio is a person who has courted Ruina many times.

Even while Ruina was engaged to Eugene.

I thought I was a crazy person and avoided it, but now I’m in the yard of a tentative breakup…

To keep chastity, Eugene is already hanging out with that insignificant commoner girl.

We didn’t talk to each other, but didn’t Yujin break it up first?

Since he needed an assistant, he seemed very reasonable as a person who could be used.

It would be better to talk about the matter after moderately matching the conversation.

“… That cadet named Rossi really doesn’t care.”

“You think the same as me.”

However, I had no choice but to completely agree with you on this point.

* * *

As I returned to the dormitory after the swordsmanship class, I wondered if it was a bit harsh.

Louis, there was something like that when she looked at me, she often shuddered.

… It’s good that she broke off the engagement because she didn’t have the skills.

But I don’t know why he keeps coming over and scratching my nerves.

Her efforts to be helpful to her have long since become futile.

Louie I’m the kind of person who doesn’t really appreciate that.

She didn’t ask for any thanks, but she’s honestly kind of offended.

She’s acting like she paranoidly remembers her past right in front of her eyes, so she can’t help but feel grumpy.

Yes, to be honest, I’m grumpy.

What I did to Ruina.

She asked again, so what did she do with it.

“Excessive.”

It wasn’t enough compared to the betrayal I felt.
