The mercenary king did not ask me until the end.

My doctor was feeling pretty bad as it seemed like there was no need for it.

He didn’t know that if I refused, he would have to convince Count Baeknal to become Dodol-i-pyo.

I still didn’t like the mercenary king, who was talking softly.

“How long are you two going to talk?”

Not even 1 or 2 minutes. The two of us sat down and talked for over 10 minutes.

Not even progress.

same pattern.

The mercenary king asks for me, and the count refuses.

Without even thinking about asking me, the two of us ate for 10 minutes.

It made me feel pretty bad to think I wasted my time on such a useless thing.

“Well… .”

The Count turns to me.

Perhaps he read the emotions on my face, and he made a sad face.

“The point was wrong from the start. You should have asked Raymond rather than asking me for permission.”

“… .”

Only then did the mercenary king, perhaps realizing his mistake, looked back at me with his mouth shut.

I crossed my arms and watched him talk forever.

Now I can’t stand it anymore, so I left.

“uh… Raymond.”

“why.”

“How about becoming my heir?”

“I don’t like it.”

I don’t want to go under someone who doesn’t even show me a good side.

And I knew something about him.

Are you a madman, a madman?

In the first place, the word mad dog he said was a nickname that suited him better than mine.

‘The mercenary king’s things don’t help me.’

The Mercenary King does not use a sword.

He believes that there is no weapon stronger than his body, and has always believed in his fists.

What can I learn from him?

I use a sword, he doesn’t.

If there’s anything that helps, it’s about sparring.

Being under him meant that I had to give up my sword, but there was no way I would give up my sword knowing that I had a talent for the sword myself.

“Why are you refusing? Don’t you know who I am? Probably not. There’s no way he doesn’t know that I am the mercenary king.”

Embarrassed, he began to speak gibberish.

It was a face I never thought I would reject so coldly.

“It doesn’t matter if you are the mercenary king or whatever. I have no intention of becoming the successor.”

The mercenary king opened his mouth and looked back at the count.

He was smiling contentedly as if the situation was amusing.

Who would have imagined that the Mercenary King would refuse to offer to become his successor?

At least, there was no person other than a wizard who could refuse it.

Even a child knows that the mercenary king is a sword master.

The knights are so great that they say that it is their dream to be taught by a sword master.

It’s good to have a sparring with him and learn from him.

No matter how different a fist and a sword may be, there is still something in common.

‘There’s no reason to just do it.’

Looking back at the situation.

The Mercenary King wants to make me his successor.

But I have no intention of becoming a successor.

Above all, there is no reason to become his successor.

As the Count said, he could be taught by Count Warrug.

At least it was possible for me with the name Millennium.

So, there is no reason to say that the mercenary king is a sword master.

“Why the hell! Am I a sword master?”

“So?”

“what?”

“Is there any reason why I should learn from you because you are a sword master?”

“You can become very strong!”

I put a puzzled expression on his face when he asked if this was enough.

can be strong

For me, who had the purpose of surviving Ahar, it was definitely a temptation.

Although very little.

“I have no reason to learn from you. Just like my father said, you can learn from Count Warrug.”

“This, profit… !”

The mercenary king’s face turned red at the mention of Count Warrug again.

As if he had a sense of qualification, he clenched his fist and swung it wildly into the air.

Even though it was a goalless punch, the sound that came out of that fist was very menacing.

“I will do better! uh? i can do better! Do you have anything you want? I’ll listen to anything!”

He shouldn’t have said that.

I’m not using the word ‘anything’ lightly.

That’s a good word to chew on.

“Are you serious?”

“of course!”

He didn’t know what I was thinking, so he answered very clearly.

“Then let’s think about it for a bit.”

“Raymond… .”

I heard the Count muttering my name.

“Why do you want to make me your successor?”

“I fell in love with your fighting style. I think you can follow my training. I have only you. No matter how hard I tried to find a successor. But there was no one I liked like you.”

“… .”

I felt too much passion.

Willing to hold on to me no matter what.

So it was burdensome, but on the contrary, I liked it.

If you want me this much, you’ll do most of what I ask for.

“Does he have to be the heir?”

“uh?”

“Can’t I receive teachings even if I’m not the heir?”

“uh… is that right? But it’s to teach you my skills, but if you’re not the successor, it’s a bit difficult.”

“Then why don’t you find the successor later?”

“what?”

“Even if you liked me, wouldn’t it be different after doing it? What are you going to do if I don’t learn the skill properly?”

“That’s a bit troublesome.”

The Mercenary King nodded with his arms crossed.

Sometimes I frowned as if I was imagining it.

“And to be honest, there is no reason for me to learn from you. You admit that.”

“That’s right.”

Count Warrug.

He seemed to be annoyed just thinking about him, and he openly frowned.

He even muttered a little, ‘It’s like a f*cking bane’.

“I heard that the mercenary king got a lot of jewels this time.”

“Oh, jewelry?”

The mercenary king rummaged through the pockets hanging from his waist and placed an entire small pocket on the table.

“Take that.”

“… .”

What is this, is this person an idiot?

Giving away everything you have when you haven’t even asked how much yet.

What are all these hogs?

“Are you giving me all of this?”

“uh… It doesn’t matter if I give you everything. It’s not that I need money, it’s just a shining stone to me.”

I listened to his words in one ear and opened my pocket while letting it flow through the other.

It sparkled.

And there were so many.

‘Give me all of this?’

It contained an enormous amount of jewels that I was embarrassed to say.

At this level, even living in a small city would not be a dream.

“Huh… I knew there was no need for water, but.”

I didn’t know it would be like this The count peeked into his pocket and murmured.

In his view, the amount of jewels was absurd.

However, it was not a valuable jewel.

Among them, there was a diamond the size of a fist.

‘If this happens, I can’t even remove it.’

To return this amount, even if the amount was large, it was too large.

There are so many things you can do with this.

“Certainly, even when I think about it, the successor is a bit like that. Because it has the name Millennium.”

It is a fact that even a passing dog knows that I am the heir to the Millennium Countess.

It’s strange to recommend a successor to me like that.

“Oh, I don’t know. Such troublesome things are not my style!”

The mercenary king suddenly scratched his head and shouted.

Then he pointed at me and said.

“Because heir or whatever, it doesn’t matter. let’s train with me It is a sin to rot such talent!”

“All right.”

“uh… ?”

“I understand.”

“Uh, uh.”

He made a stupid face, not sure if I would accept right away.

There was no reason to refuse any more.

I must have been bailed, but not under him.

More than anything, I needed a sparring partner now.

“Then, now that the story is over, let’s go to the training ground right away! Hey Gerard, where is the training ground?”

“… That’s annoying. Raymond, now you do it yourself. I don’t want to meddle any longer.”

The Count put one hand on his head and waved his hand, telling him to leave.

Ever since the mercenary king came, he had a very tired face.

“great. Let’s go!”

The mercenary king jumped up and put his arm around my shoulder.

He shook his hand and stood up with his pockets.

“I will take this.”

“Okay. What did you get?”

The Count waved his hand as if it didn’t matter.

When I went outside, I saw Mahol standing still.

“Take this.”

“Yes.”

Mahol accepted the pouch. I passed by Mahol and took the mercenary king to the training ground used by knights.

“Meet the Bocchan.”

The knights bowed their heads to greet them.

“Bocchan, are you here!”

The knight commander approached with sparkling eyes.

It was a face full of anticipation and emotion, as if he had heard what I had seen in the north.

“ah. Sir Raymond.”

But why is the princess here?

Isn’t it time to be in full bloom by now?

“Oh, who is this? 1 Aren’t you the princess!”

The mercenary king raised his voice as he looked at the princess.

It was a strange face to be able to see the first princess in a place like this.

“Ah, you are the mercenary king. hello.”

“Ah, you don’t have to be so polite. Please be comfortable with me.”

“All right.”

The princess smiled.

He also came close to me and talked to me for a while.

“Are you going to train today?”

“no. I’m going to have a sparring with this person here.”

“With the mercenary king?”

The princess’s eyes widened.

He was surprised to be able to engage in sparring with the sword master, the Mercenary King.

“uh? Didn’t you say you were sparring with the mercenary king?”

“I guess it’s because my ears don’t taste good.”

“Wow, I’m jealous. I also want to engage in sparring with the mercenary king.”

The knights looked at me with eyes full of envy.

“Did you hear? I’m sorry during training, but could you step aside for a moment?”

“Yes!”

The knights moved in perfect order.

By creating a space in the middle of the training ground, I created enough space for me and the mercenary king to engage in sparring.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. Rather, sparring with a sword master helps me a lot.”

“is that so.”

The princess nodded.

“Let’s go.”

“Can we finally taste our Raymond skills?”

The mercenary king grinned and moved to the middle of the training ground.

Bone sounds emanate from his joints as he loosens his ankles and wrists.

As I took the wooden sword from the knights, the mercenary king shook his head and pointed at my waist.

“Not a wooden sword, that. There’s a sword that looks good. Fight with it.”

“It’s a real sword.”

“I am the mercenary king.”

He is the mercenary king. I immediately agreed to that one word.

he is a sword master

Rather, I should be worried about me dealing with him, worrying about him was arrogance.

When I pulled out the sword, he exclaimed as he looked at the sword in my hand.

“Hoo. It’s a famous sword that is not easily seen. What is your name?”

“There is not.”

“I dont have a name?”

“Yes. I picked it up by accident.”

“yes? Well, that would be it.”

He clenched his fists, saying it didn’t matter.

“Okay then, come in!”

He spread his feet apart and gestured towards me.
