The third prince’s words were absurd.

It wasn’t something to say to someone who was running to kill himself.

No, even a good person, if the person who had been bullying him like crazy asked him to teach him something, there were few people who would teach him nicely.

Who can say to the person who bullied them, ‘Oh, yes, of course I should teach them’.

At least I don’t.

“Why should I?”

“uh… that is… .”

The third prince’s face darkened.

I could see him rolling his eyes and contemplating, as if he hadn’t thought of what happened when I rejected him.

Looking down at him as he lowered his head, he continued.

“I don’t like you. You couldn’t eat me as soon as you saw me.”

“ah… .”

“Are you willing to help someone who pushes you to the limit? The enemy is not like that.”

“… .”

The third prince kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

The word karma is not for nothing.

The third prince is paying his karma.

“And I don’t understand why you’re doing this all of a sudden. Didn’t you hate me just a few days ago?”

“Well… .”

The 3rd prince kept his mouth shut and couldn’t answer.

He lowered his head pitifully and only teased his little finger.

“Even if you don’t ask me, aren’t there already great knights by your side?”

“Ha, but they and you are different!”

“What is different?”

“That, that… .”

I wanted to say something, but I closed my mouth again.

At this point, I wondered if he was deliberately making me feel stuffy.

It was when I was in the middle of asking him.

“Your Highness, are you all right!”

“I heard you were dragged away by that guy, Raymond… !”

I saw the knights hurrying into the room.

Perhaps because he had been looking for the entire county, their hair and face were wet with sweat.

“You guys! How dare you try to murder His Highness Baan!”

“You are crazy!”

The knights who found me in front of the crouching 3rd prince shouted in anger.

‘What are those again?’

Even if there is a misunderstanding, I’m doing it well. In the first place, I had no intention of killing the third prince.

It’s because I’ve been able to get rid of all the stress through sparring.

Killing him won’t do you any good, so would you attack him for saying I’m crazy?

“We were talking, but… You must have misunderstood something.”

In the first place, we were talking, not fighting.

It would be very unfair to say that he harmed me while we were having a conversation.

“Conversation? You’re saying something that’s not even funny! There’s no way His Highness would shed tears if we were having a normal conversation!”

“To make His Highness shed tears without you really going crazy!”

what kind of bullsh*t is this

No matter how bad the conversation with him was, it wasn’t enough to make me cry.

You can feel bad, but you can still go smoothly on the line where you feel bad.

Knights appear and try to ruin it all.

“stop!”

As the knights pulled out their swords, the third prince shouted at the knights.

The knights flinched and stopped in their seats.

“Ah, Prince?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

The knights are perplexed.

It was only for the sake of the 3rd prince, but the 3rd prince, who was supposed to be on their side, did not take their side.

“Can’t you see we’re talking right now?”

Wiping the tears with his sleeve, he glared at the knights with venomous eyes.

The knights couldn’t figure out how to accept this, so they just looked at each other.

“Mi, I’m sorry. I will apologize for the rudeness of the knights.”

The eyes of the knights widened as they bowed their heads to me.

He was the third prince who would never bow his head or bend his knees unless his pride was the three emperors.

I couldn’t help but be surprised when the man who cursed at his brothers bowed his head to me, who had a lower rank than him and had beaten him down.

“Your Highness, why!”

“Why are you lowering your head!”

The knights shouted at the third prince with doubts about their own eyes.

It was like a terrible nightmare where their masters bowed down to the one who ignored their masters and crushed them.

“Shut up and get out! I didn’t call you guys!”

Now that they have completely changed into gnomes, they stare blankly at the 3rd prince as if they have gone crazy.

“If Master gets angry, will you take responsibility?”

No, there you are. Since when did I become your teacher?

“The teacher was embarrassed because of you!”

I’m embarrassed because of you.

What kind of situation is this again? The 3rd prince, who couldn’t even shout at me, made me, who had never said he would do it, as his teacher and was pushing the knights.

‘This isn’t a bad feeling… .’

It was nice to see the knights who touched me with the 3rd prince bow their heads, but it felt strange to become a teacher without permission.

I thought it was rejected, but isn’t it?

“hehehehe. teacher. Are you done now?”

“… Since when did I become your teacher?”

“That, that… .”

Realizing that he had made a mistake, the Third Prince rolled his eyes.

Then he closed his eyes and shouted.

“I fell in love!”

That’s difficult in its own way.

***

He left the seat while telling the third prince that he would think about it.

His bright face flickered in front of his eyes, saying he was waiting for good news.

It was embarrassing that a person could change that much in an instant.

And I was embarrassed twice that the change came to like me.

“I knew you would come, but you’re a little late this time.”

said William, rummaging through the papers.

I wanted to know what kind of person the 3rd prince was, so I came to him.

I wondered if I could find out about his change of heart and how to deal with it if I knew his past.

“Are you curious about the third prince?”

William had a knack for always surprising me.

I couldn’t hold back my admiration for the fact that he knew in advance what I had come for and was preparing in advance.

I nodded, and he pulled out some papers from the pile he was rummaging through and came over to me.

“You came at just the right time. The investigation was over last night.”

“Looking at your expression, it must be something.”

“It’s the opposite. It’s so clean. It’s amazing.”

“what?”

William clicked his tongue as he looked through the documents about the third prince.

The ‘clean’ he says means that nothing comes out even if he shakes things up in relation to corruption.

That meant that the 3rd prince lived a life of integrity, contrary to his behavior, but it was hard to believe.

“Is it that clean?”

“Yes. It can be said to be the cleanest among the nobility, royalty, and imperial families I have ever seen.”

“That much?”

“Yes. I was honestly a bit surprised. Most of the people in power make a single mistake, but the third prince did not. So, I investigated to see if other members of the royal family were like that, but that wasn’t the case either.”

Saying that, he reached out and grabbed the stack of papers on the desk.

It was so vast that it could fit in one’s hand.

“Aside from the 3rd prince, these are the things that came out to other members of the royal family. From simple to dirty. The more you dig, the more you get. I think it will take more time to sort this out.”

Tapping the stack of papers, he clicked his tongue.

This was a normal reaction.

No matter how clean-looking nobles are, except for a few, dust comes out when they are shaken.

And the higher the title goes up, the more and more dust there is.

“This is really great. Compared to others, it is nothing but pure water.”

William was in awe.

People like this are rare, he says.

I have a hard time accepting that.

To think that such a clean guy gave that sh*t to me.

“But there is one problem. It’s called a grievous lack of affection.”

“what?”

“It is literally. He was always looked down upon by his father, the emperor, and his mother died shortly after giving birth to him. He said he was raised by a nanny, but even that nanny says he was killed by an intruder instead when he was 10 years old.”

“… .”

“You could say he was a pitiful person. The worst outcome was always death or maiming of the person who worked with him.”

It’s a somewhat familiar story.

‘It’s like Daria… .’

She too was ostracized by her own family, and those who approached her always suffered disastrous consequences.

“That’s why, while ostracizing others, funny enough, they want others to come to them. So I talk to the maids and get angry with them.”

“… .”

“Above all, they say that I am simply ignorant, perhaps because I grew up in such a family environment. They believe in what they see and act on it.”

He said a lot of things besides that, but all of them were just praising the third prince.

“It’s enough. I don’t think I need to hear more.”

It didn’t make any sense to hear more.

The meaning of the words was the same anyway.

“I’ll turn.”

It was harder to stay still after hearing these words.

“I had a hard time researching. I will go.”

“Please don’t be too vigilant.”

“… ?”

“Because it could be of some help to us.”

He saw me off with a meaningful smile.

The 3rd Prince was still chasing after me.

He looked at me with expectant eyes, waiting for my answer.

“Sigh… .”

It became difficult to refuse.

If he had been a bad guy, he wouldn’t have even thought about it, but through William, he realized that he was just a child.

It’s worrying because you know that if you tell them what’s right and what’s wrong, they can be rehabilitated enough.

I organized my thoughts while feeling the gaze of the third prince.

If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.

If you can’t avoid the 3rd prince, you just have to profit from him.

“His Highness Baan.”

“Boo, did you call me?”

The 3rd prince stood in front of me hesitantly.

Behind him, the knights were glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.

I scratched the back of my head and sighed.

“Even if it is impossible to teach the sword, I think I can look at the sword little by little from the side.”

“Me, really?”

The third prince’s face brightened.

He clenched his fists and expressed his joy.

“But there are conditions.”

“yes?”

“If you don’t agree to this condition, it will be difficult to help.”

“What, what is it? just say anything! Is there anyone you don’t like? If there is, I’ll take care of it!”

I shook my head at his willingness to take care of anyone.

He could use him to get rid of those who annoy him, but it wasn’t the time to do that yet.

William gave a report, but I thought I would believe it with my own eyes.

This is why first impressions of people are so important.

If you don’t have a good first impression, you won’t believe anything after that.

“What can I do?”

He blew a beetle on his forehead for asking him to do something.

“First of all, fix that half.”

“uh?”

Rubbing my forehead, he stared blankly at me.
