chapter 2
“hahahaha, I gave up on him as a father, but you seem to believe in him.”
Even at Willington’s words, Arin still stands with an expressionless face.
“I did something sorry for you. If I had known this would happen, I should have let you go the way of a knight from the beginning…”
“no.”
Willington thought about two things while finding out Arin’s material and training him. Make it a family knight, or make it Yuren’s escort.
Willington sent Arin to Yuren, thinking that Yuren would of course succeed him as a marquis and then Arin would be able to become an escort knight, but now it has become impossible.
“Yes. Go see.”
“Yes. Then.”
Arin closed the door and went outside, thinking about Yuren today, which was different from usual, as the Marquis said.
‘It’s definitely changed. Especially the eyes.’

“The Sacheon Dangga is definitely the same Sacheon Dangga in Moorim. But what should I do to open it?”
I don’t know how to internalize my heart, and I’ve never heard of anything but swords. In order for me to become stronger as an ordinary person, I have to somehow unlock the Sichuan Dangga characteristics.
Anyway, since the Sacheondang family is a Moorim sect, it is obvious that they must use their bodies. But with a body like a pig, it’s impossible to exercise.
I started running around my room to start with walking. The room was spacious enough to have no problem walking, but the problem was me. Even though I hadn’t walked around the room for a few minutes, my legs were already numb and I wanted to sit down.
“Is this how the body controls the mind?”
My head wanted to walk more, but my body still misses the chair. Even now, the lumps of fat in my body were shouting ‘sit down’ over and over again.
smart
After walking for about 10 minutes, resisting the temptation of a chair, I heard a knock outside.
“come in.”
The door opened and Arin entered the room. When she saw me sweating, she backed away in surprise.
“Princess, what are you doing…”
“I’m trying to walk a bit, but even though the room is wide, it’s a little too much for walking. It smells, and there’s a training hall? Did you say it’s a gymnasium? Please guide me.”
“yes?”
Arin, who had a passive expression, made a blank expression with his mouth open.
“I’m sorry. Can you say it one more time?
Arin’s eyes, which were still, began to shake little by little.
“Let’s go to the training ground.”
“Can you guess why?”
Arin seemed worried that I might get into an accident, but I just wanted to lose weight and open up Sacheondangga.
“As I said earlier, the room is spacious, but it is difficult to move.
“Mmm.”
Arin’s expressionless expression was broken once again. She was looking at me with confused eyes.
“scale?”
“Let me guide you.”
Shaking his head, he followed her outside. As expected, the marquise’s mansion, the corridor outside was endlessly stretched out, and unknown rooms were lined up.
“and…”
As the building was wide, many servants were busy working, and every time I met them. I tried to activate the creator’s eye.
[Likeability: -49 (Unlike) ]
[Likeability: -74 (extremely unlikable) ]
[Likeability: -69 (extremely unlikable) ]
[Like: -80 (Hate) ]
[Like: -77 (Disgust) ]
It’s only natural that no one likes Yu-Ren, who is just fooling around, but the number was high.
In particular, the female servants hated me much more than the male servants. Yuren made a woman reveal herself to be dumped by her fiancé, and that seemed to be the influence.
Recovering a damaged image would be difficult, no joke…
I looked at Arin, who was walking in front of me.
[Likeability: 0 (neutral) ]
I really don’t understand why Arin, whom I spend the most time with, is neutral when everyone’s affinity is negative.
But there was something more urgent than that. I keep walking, but I don’t think of reaching the gymnasium. The garden stretched out endlessly.
“Hey, hey! When are you arriving?”
“I’m not even halfway there yet.”
As expected, the marquess family, it was really dirty and wide. I thought I could finish today’s workout by going to the gymnasium.
“not there yet?”
“We’re almost there.”
“Ugh!”
I have a lot of flesh, but I have no muscles, so it is very difficult to move. I wanted to sit down right now. However, the pride of being a 5-year veteran of the reserve army in the Republic of Korea did not stop me.
“Im here.”
“Whoops, whoops!”
In the novel, ‘I arrived at the gymnasium.’ It seems that it took almost an hour for this one line to turn into reality.
“How do you get to the gym if you’re this far away?”
“Originally, I would arrive much faster, but today I moved slowly because Gongja-nim would not be able to follow me.”
“urg!”
Sorry, but she was right. If she was a reserve force and had moved faster, she would have been unable to keep up and would have collapsed in the middle.
“There is no one.”
“It’s regular training time now. Most of the knights will be in the 1st and 2nd gymnasiums.”
“Isn’t there just one gymnasium?”
“There are four gymnasiums in total, and this is the third gymnasium. You know, don’t you?”
“Oh, of course I know. hahahaha.”
I didn’t know, but I pretended to know and caught my breath.
After stabilizing my breathing, I started walking around the gymnasium at a brisk pace. If you take a break, your body will be comfortable, but it’s hard to move again, so it’s better to keep moving your body even if you’re tired.
“It’s comfortable because no one is there.”
Arin stood still and watched me, but her gaze looked a bit different from before.
“Whoa, whoa! Oh really! My body is so heavy!”
My original body is not muscular, but I was confident in walking because I walked steadily for an hour or two a day. However, moving with Yuren’s body, it was difficult without a joke because it felt like walking with dozens of sandbags on it.
After exerting extreme mental strength and walking to the point where I couldn’t move anymore, someone’s shadow was cast on me as I sat down on the floor and groaned.
“ok?”
I looked up to see who it was. The sunlight automatically frowned, but I could see his status screen clearly.
[Likeability: -91 (killer urge)]
Grand Duke of the Marquess (3)
“Aren’t you the Grand Duke?”
The person who came in front of me was a regular knight wearing a silver helmet and armor, but he spoke in a normal way, considering he had an unprecedented level of negative likability.
[Name: Rekka Olian]
[Attribute: Quick Sword lv1]
“Lecca Olean?”
“It is an honor that the Grand Duke remembers me.”
Rekka said that and took off her helmet.
“uh…”
After taking off his helmet, his face was covered with scars, as if cut by a knife. His face, which would normally have been quite handsome, looked ghastly to the point of giving goosebumps from the scars.
“hehehe.”
Lekka smirked, and the scars on his face widened to the point where it was hard to see.
Although he hated me to the point of wanting to kill me, he didn’t give me any negative feelings on the outside. If I didn’t show good feelings, I would have thought it was a normal relationship.
I moved away from him and approached Arin.
“Here Arin.”
“yes.”
“The scar on that knight’s face…”
“You don’t remember?”
“that is…”
Of course I don’t remember. Because I am not Yuren.
“When that knight was a knight trainee, the Archduke did it himself.”
“and…”
Yuren, you really were trash.
While I was narrating from the main character’s point of view, it seems that Yuren lived faithfully and surely doing crazy things.
Rekka was looking at me with emotionless eyes, but I could tell. The intent to kill me hidden in those eyes.
“What the hell happened then?”
“You really don’t remember?”
“uh.”
“Confucius, who was forcibly taken to the training ground because of the Marquis, said he was angry and called that knight who was training alone and cut his face with a knife.”
“…really?”
“yes.”
“just?”
“yes.”
A sigh escaped automatically from somewhere in my lungs.
“ha…”
It wasn’t strange at all that the knight Lekka wanted to kill me. Honestly, if I were Rekka, I would have jumped right in and swung the knife.
“scale.”
“yes.”
“Run, no, let’s go back.”
I can’t stay here anymore because I can see Rekka’s notice that it won’t be strange even if I come with a knife right now.
“All right.”
Arin started preparing to return to the mansion without saying anything.
“scale.”
“yes.”
“How is the 4th Gymnasium?”
“The 4th gymnasium is the farthest away and has few equipments, so few people use it. I probably won’t use the 4th gymnasium unless all the gymnasiums are full.”
Just right. Right now, rather than doing anything, I’m just thinking of moving my body to lose weight and revitalize the Sichuan Dangga.
“From tomorrow, let’s go to the 4th gymnasium.”
“Are you going tomorrow too?”
“Once you start, you have to see the end.”
“okay.”
I couldn’t see her expression because Arin was in front of me, but she must be wondering. Or maybe he doesn’t say anything because he thinks it’s just three days.
You might think that your personality has changed too quickly, but now, when you think you’ve come to your senses after being beaten by your fiancé, is the best time to change.
“hmm…”
The back of my head was tingling, so I turned around and saw Lekka from a distance, still looking at me without moving.
“Arin! Let’s go quickly.”
“All right.”
As I urged Arin to leave the gymnasium, the tingling sensation disappeared.
“Phew, is this what living means?”
“yes?”
“Because earlier, the back of my head was tingling when that guy named Lekka looked at me.”
“That was just staring at it. If he sprayed lethality, I would have known and stopped it. If the current Archduke were directly exposed to lethality, it would be difficult to even breathe.”
“100 million…”
To think that it was just staring at her, that her feelings for me only stung her like that, made her goosebumps even more.
“scale.”
“yes.”
“When I meet him, never leave my side.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Don’t fall, because he might try to kill me.”
“That can’t be the case. The author is a knight who has sworn allegiance to the Marquis.
“I’m not sure…”
He went back showing the subservience of asking Arin to protect him several times. It took a long time to go back, but as I was worried about Lecca, I was in front of the mansion before I knew it.
When I came out after washing in a bathtub the size of a swimming pool, Arin had already prepared food for me. The food she brought appeared to be a soup or stew, but it seemed nutritious because it contained chunks of meat or vegetables.
But it wasn’t what I wanted. It’s a rich family that doesn’t mind how many steaks I eat, but I didn’t want to eat soup.
“What’s this.”
“It is chilein soup, a food that knights and swordsmen eat after training. If you eat this after training, you will increase your stamina and muscles and lose fat.”
“hmm…”
Hearing the name, it was a familiar dish. No, I couldn’t have known. It’s a compound word I roughly combined while looking at food on delivery apps. Of course, the first letter is chicken.
Just in case, I activated the Creator’s Eye and looked at the soup Arin brought.
[Cheese Rain Soup]
Contrary to the crude sense of the author, it slowly restores physical strength and magic with nutritious stamina food, and accelerates the regeneration of damaged muscle fibers. The harder you train, the better it works.
It’s not normal eyes to be able to see information about food.
“The Grand Duke. Aren’t you eating?”
Since I’m just glaring at the soup without thinking about eating it, Arin looks at me as if asking what I’m doing.
To be honest, I was craving steak or meat, but I think I will have to eat this or that until I build my body.
“Oh, I’ll eat.”
The taste of the chilein soup was very mild and savory. It was like eating special gomtang with added ingredients.
“I ate well.”
There were so many ingredients in the soup that it was enough that he didn’t have to eat rice, but Yuren’s stomach, which had become accustomed to overeating, kept asking for food.
“You’d better go to bed early today.”
After barely calming the beggar in the stomach, Arin said while removing the bowl. I think I said that because chilein soup is more effective when given adequate sleep.
“okay.”
“Then see you tomorrow.”
Arin nodded slightly, said hello, and went out.
“hahahaha, somehow the day passed.”
I turned off the light by the window and lay down on the bed.
To be honest, it still feels like a dream. It seemed that if I woke up now, the old, dusty things in my room would greet me again.
**
“Ehh…”
The next morning, the faded ceiling of the studio was nowhere to be seen. I woke up still in the novel.
“Ugh!”
The moment I tried to get out of bed, I could hear the screams of my muscles coming from all over my body.
“profit!”
“It’s called muscle pain. It’s pain caused by using unused muscles. If you take a few days off or get used to it by continuing to use it, it will go away.”
“I know…”
As if Arin was waiting for me to wake up, he explained the muscle pain to me as soon as I woke up.
“Ugh…”
In my head, ‘Let’s do it tomorrow.’, ‘Who knows I’m doing this?’ ‘Let’s exercise again when the muscle pain goes away.’ The voice of the same heart was heard.
