Today is the day a delegation from King's Landing visits.

　I had completely forgotten about it, so I hurried to get ready and managed to make it in time.



It's kind of dusty. Is this what the countryside is like?



　A brown-haired boy was complaining as soon as he got off the luxurious carriage.

　From the way he was dressed, he looked like a nice young man from a good family. He has a fine face, but his eyes are not good. His language and attitude were bad. Just the type of guy I hate.



"Laius, don't be rude. You asked me to go with you, didn't you?"



　Now a very pretty blonde girl comes out. She was a little older than me, but she looked more mature. Her pants look like a traveling outfit, but the fabric and other things looked expensive, and I could see that she was well brought up.



"Oh, I'm just being honest.



　What the hell is this little shit?

　As I was looking at him sullenly, our eyes met. He stared at me.



　Then a huge man interrupted me.



"Welcome, my dear. Her Royal Highness Princess Marianne and His Royal Highness Prince Raius."



　A strong-looking man with a beard. My father-in-law, Gordo Semphis, the frontier count, still robust at fifty-two years of age. Of all the noble families, he has royal blood and is a very powerful man who guards the borders of other countries, where war could break out at any moment.

　Even I can imagine who my father would be in awe of.



　It's obvious when he calls out to them.

　These two were my own siblings.



　The cocky little shit (probably Lias) glared at my dad this time.



"Hey, what do you mean by <>?　And you said after me."



"This is ...... I beg your pardon. I was told that the head of this delegation is Her Royal Highness the Princess.



"That has nothing to do with it!　I'm a prince, remember?　You're the next king!"



　I'm not very good at this kind of overbearing type of thing, so I just stood there in a daze.



"You there!　What's that look you've been giving me since a minute ago?　You don't have a problem with me, do you?"



　They thought I was staring at them. Are you being accused of something?

　Dad defends me again.



"I apologize for my son's rudeness. It was my fault in the first place, and I take full responsibility for it..."



"Oh, so he's that magic level 2 scum."



　Lias interrupts my father's statement and sneers at me.



　My father is twitching around his temples. He's about five seconds away from losing his temper.

　He is, however, a man of experience and common sense. He doesn't lose his temper over every little thing his children do or say. He's not like Frey. He's not like Frey. No, really. He'd have attacked you if he was here. You're lucky to be alive, boy.



Lias! Enough!　No matter how royal you are, no, because you are royal, you must show some courtesy.



　There were consciences on the other side. Princess Marianne is my half-sister. She's beautiful. I guess her mother wasn't just a scrapper with a face and magical powers.

　Laius, on the other hand, who had been rebuked, clicked his tongue a little and said



"Listen, will you stop acting like a big sister?　You and I are in different positions, you know. I'm in a different position than you, who's nothing but a political tool.



"Lias, you are a child. ......"



　Sis Marianne is trembling with anger and frustration.

　Rias looked at her happily and then turned to me for some reason.



"They're the ones who need to be polite, aren't they?"



　Then, for some reason, he pointed a sharp finger at me,



"I'll discipline you myself. It's a good way to loosen up after a long trip. Hey, you, play with me."



　I wonder what this guy's thought process is?　I'm genuinely curious.



"Your Highness, that's too ...... different."



"Ha, of course I'll go easy on you. Of course I'll go easy on you. A magic fight will be over in an instant. I have zero talent with magic. You've practiced that, right?"



　Marianne tried to soothe him after this,



"Just bring me what you've got!"



　In the end, he was forced into a sword fight.

　My father said, "I'm sorry," with a resigned look on his face, but there was no need to apologize at all. I just had to get out of the mess.



　



　We moved to the courtyard and faced each other with wooden swords in our hands. The distance between us was about 20 meters.

　Even though it is a wooden sword, it has a core made of steel in order to approximate the weight of a serious sword. It hurts like hell when you get hit with it.



What are you bullshitting about?　Don't worry. I rarely practice swordsmanship because it's so tedious."



　Lias grins and says something. Chanting. His body flashes a few times and his wooden sword glows. He's got more muscles, more agility, lighter weight, faster reaction time, and more armaments.

　I don't know much about anything other than warding magic, but the warding on my retinas for analysis gave me away.



　I can also find out the magic level of Raius.




　Current level [9]. He has twenty times as much magic power as I do. Your maximum magic level is 40. That's impressive.



Here we go!



　Lias shouted and kicked the ground. A single step is a rush of up to three meters. He's not just on the level of a child, he's faster than an Olympic athlete. He lowered his stance, aimed at my knee, and reared his wooden sword to the side, as if he wanted to block my movement.

　If I hit him, it would probably hurt a lot.

　If I don't do anything, I'm sure I'll break my bones.

　That's why I--.



　

　A crack. Bokkoku." What?



　

　I'm gonna fly up and poke him in the back of the head. Raius, you let out a muffled cry and scrape the ground with your face.



"What, what, what, what ......?"



　Raius finally stops and turns his face to me as he bounces on the ground, his nose dripping blood and looking surprised.

　It's just a light rub. Not much damage.



"That's why I told you, Your Highness.



　Dad blurts out.
