The Youngest Assassin Is a Swordsman Genius

Episode 16

The party was just passing through the center of the Beldom National Alliance.

A situation where they had to go three more weeks to the Principality of Caliburn.

It wasn’t a distance that could be said to have come yet.

‘Why are you here all of a sudden? Don’t bother me and go.’

I neatly ignored Raoul’s request and just kept my eyes on the surroundings.

Since the three princes were separated from the escort, there was no choice but to raise the tension.

Unaware of that feeling, Raoul began to tilt his glass alone.

Since I didn’t go out, it seemed like he was just going to have a drink.

“Since you’re not coming out, I can’t help it. I’m going to quench my thirst.”

The three princes drank the full amount of wine at once.

Squeak!

Then he poured the liquor again and stared at the slick surface.

“Great!”

After drinking three cups in succession, my face instantly heated up.

It was a problem that I drank continuously because it was so good that it went down my throat.

Before long, the three princes, slightly drunk, began talking to themselves.

“Don’t brothers send out assassins, when they meet, they start off with vicious words…”

It was about resenting and lamenting the cruel brothers.

In addition, there was concern about the country reeling from the struggle for the throne and the victims.

The grumbling continued.

“I’m not running away. My brothers don’t know, but the Principality of Caliburn is a land of opportunity for me.”

The nobles clinging to the relatively young three princes would in fact be nothing but chaff.

The eyes staring into the darkness were clearly those of a person full of ambition.

The tightly held wooden cup trembled as if it would break at any moment.

“This may sound like a weakling’s delusion, but I will definitely break this perpetual vicious circle.”

The Principality of Caliburn was closely related to the Bertos Empire.

It was not impossible for Raul, who had grown in power there, to advance into the Empire’s politics and succeed.

Of course, the problem is that the process is extremely difficult and difficult.

After talking to themselves, the three princes sat for a while, then got up from their seats.

“Thank you for saving my life. Then.”

Raoul faced the forest, put his hand on his chest and bowed his head.

When the three princes returned to the camp, I finally looked back.

‘Let’s just go quietly.’

It was true that the author was quite interesting.

However, she had no intention of revealing herself in front of Raoul.

Because I didn’t want to create a problem with useless things.

Traveling to the Principality of Caliburn through the Beldom National Alliance was tedious.

Of course, there were several assassination attempts, but they were not very threatening.

The camp continued for the last week.

It was because there were few villages worth staying at after Baron Kerodin.

When the last day came, the three princes settled down in the woods again with wine and glasses.

It’s trying to call me out somehow.

“This is the last time. Would you like to have a drink together?”

A grave voice resounded in the dark forest.

When there was no response, Raoul sighed and tried to get up from his seat.

However, the three princes soon stopped.

It was because I found myself appearing out of nowhere.

“He’s a really tenacious person. This.”

“uh…….”

Raoul froze on the spot.

He summoned him once, but it seemed he hadn’t thought about what to do next.

I slid the black dragon sword at the three princes.

Swoop!

The sword body accurately dug into the bottom of the glass on the floor.

When the sword was lightly pulled, the wooden cup came with it.

It was a simple feat using mana, but Raoul’s eyes widened in a round shape.

“Let’s have a drink. What are you so surprised about?”

“Oh, yes. Let’s have a drink.”

I raised my glass slightly to the air.

Then, the three princes also took a toasting stance.

There was some distance from each other, so it was just pretend.

Then each of them started drinking on their own.

Of course, I only moistened my lips a little, but I didn’t actually drink.

Because I was still on duty.

“He’s a benefactor who saved my life several times, and it bothered me that we just had to part.”

“…”

“I’m not going to finish it off with a drink like this, but I really want to repay you someday.”

“I don’t need that.”

“Still, my heart…”

“You have to think about the recipient as well. If you force a gift, it’s just throwing garbage.”

“Is that so?”

Raoul scratched the back of his head with a shy expression.

But I had already penetrated the other person’s intentions.

‘I’m playing this. The guy with dozens of foxes inside.’

As I progressed through the mission, I was able to learn quite a few facts about the three princes.

Raoul was very intelligent, virtuous to his subordinates, and a man who could read the times.

So, wouldn’t it be that he was trying to summon an excellent dark escort with great energy?

Putting down the wooden cup, I spat out a careless word.

“Just be honest. Didn’t you call for help?”

“…”

Raul didn’t answer my words and just stared blankly at the glass.

It seemed that he had hit the right spot.

The three princes were speechless and stared into space.

Then, he straightened his expression and opened his mouth with a serious face.

“Yes, I will not tremble. Please help me. The royal family… I want to restore the ricocheted Railhash to its original state.”

cooong!

Raoul punched the floor with his fists, raised himself up, and looked at me with eager eyes.

‘Ah, it gives me goosebumps when a man looks at me that way, you bastard!’

I asked a question to the three princes.

“Do you have any younger sisters or older sisters?”

“Yes? Why is that all of a sudden…”

“Looking at the original version, if there was, it would be unconditionally beautiful. So yes? No? Tell me quickly.”

“Oh, no?”

I looked at the three princes with a disappointed expression and then tried to climb up the tree.

“Ah. It’s good.”

Raoul had a stupid face he had never seen before.

I never would have imagined hearing something like this out of nowhere.

“Hey, hold on!”

Hearing the urgent voice of the three princes, I glanced back and slid down.

‘Did I think of my little sister that I lost when I was little?’

I came down with anticipation, but the words that flew at me were absurd reprimands.

“We’re having a serious talk, why are you suddenly like this?”

“To attract people, you have to come and go. Don’t you know give and take? There’s no morality. There’s no morality.”

“…”

Like a smart guy, Raoul immediately understood what I was saying.

But even so, the answer did not come immediately.

yes. I know everything.

A guy like me must be the first

How can a nobleman who is like a flower in a greenhouse know the deep meaning of wild flowers that have lived in a harsh land?

With a bitter taste in my mouth, I tried to turn around.

Then, just then, the voices of the three princes hit the back.

“That…… isn’t it enough to be a beauty?”

“Uh huh! What do you see people as?”

“Then, what other conditions do you need? I’ll arrange a place for you.”

It was an absurd condition, but Raul quickly accepted the reality and expressed his willingness to accept it.

However, I had no intention of talking about my ideal type over there.

“Kuhm! I have my face too. How could I ask for something like that?”

“You seem to have given away a dog to save face?”

“It’s roughly the same, but I hate to tell you.”

“Are you saying you should guess? I’m not an astrologer, so how can I change my taste…”

“I’m not asking you to hit me, but I can’t understand you.”

“ah!”

Raoul let out a small exclamation, as if he finally realized why I was doing this.

“It was meant to be rejected.”

“If I had a younger sister or older sister, I would have thought about it.”

“Don’t lie. You didn’t mean to do that from the start, did you?”

“Ah, I was caught. Look at it. Does this face look like a guy who’s going to struggle because he doesn’t have a girl?”

“I can’t see very well because of the mask.”

“Ah, that’s right. Why did you become so sharp all of a sudden?”

“This isn’t a matter of being sharp…”

“Noisy. I drank well.”

I shrugged and got up from my seat.

I only slightly touched the glass, but I still tasted the alcohol.

In return, it was just a brief chatter.

I had no intention of continuing a long relationship with this guy.

It was time to stop fooling around and get back to our duties.

But suddenly Raul took something out of his chest and threw it.

I lightly grabbed the slow flying object.

“What is this?”

“It’s a secret map.”

“Five?”

“Looking at your skills, you probably don’t need anything like money.

“Why are you giving me this all of a sudden?”

“It’s a token of thanks for protecting us.”

The escort fee had already been neatly paid by the Railhash royal family.

Probably one of the secretly fighting princes who wanted Raoul alive.

So there was no need to give such a reward.

Besides, it was not a thing, but a map, and it was also an item with difficult conditions.

“It’s not very good for a gift, but you have to go get it yourself.”

“This is not a map of buried objects. It marks the way to the ancient forest of fairies.”

“Huh… is that so?”

I made an interesting expression at Raul’s further explanation.

Because the name came out quite unexpectedly.

A fairy, isn’t it something mysterious?

‘But what will I gain if I go there?’

It appealed to me, but it wasn’t what I needed right away.

It was possible that fairies were not kind to humans.

No matter what, I would never give something like this with pure intentions.

“I won’t accept it. It’s very embarrassing.”

I waved my hand and tried to turn my steps.

I had made it clear that I was rejecting it, so now it was time to really go back.

Then, the last word Raoul uttered caught me again.

“You don’t have to join me. I’m not asking you to.”

“suddenly?”

“Think of it as a bribe to be friendly.”

“How do you make friends like this?”

“Because I’ve never dated anyone. Isn’t that similar to you?”

“I’m not?”

He spat out words of denial, but Raoul’s smiling face did not change.

‘This bastard is suddenly hitting the bone.’

Actually, it was natural.

Where can you find friends in this damn assassination squad?

“Friend… would you like to?”

The 3 prince approached with a shy expression and held out his hand.

After standing still for a while, I had no choice but to hold Raul’s hand.

“That friend fee is grandiose.”

I didn’t accept it because I was preoccupied with the unique reward of a secret map to the fairy forest.

Oh, it’s not really real.
