"Nice to meet you. It's the first time we've met, Sir Alphonse Barca. Pleased to meet you.

　The Orient, a group of small states.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Into this small country came an extraordinary guest from a great nation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His Highness Benjamin, the first prince of the Magical Kingdom of Brillia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And here he is before me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has a father called the King of Magic, and is the person who is closest to the next king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such a man came here almost alone with only a few servants to take care of his personal belongings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Are you sure?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if it is safe to be here at the beginning of a new year, when we will have to celebrate the New Year, and just after the demise of the previous king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems like there are a lot of things to do, like holding a funeral.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness Benjamin. It is an honor to meet you. I have heard of the terrible tragedy in the land of Briaria. My condolences."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I'm surprised at the suddenness of it. It's a headache for me to think about the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I greeted Benjamin and bowed my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he didn't seem too sad about the king's death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seems to be thinking about what comes next.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My house in the capital of the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin was there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This house is not a new one that I built, but a house that I bought from an old one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, it was a wooden building with a porch and a beautifully landscaped garden outside in the Orient style.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We observe Benjamin sitting on the floor called tatami.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is young.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He looks almost like a young man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His language is not too formal, and he seems somewhat at ease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this is strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is he really the first prince of the Magical Kingdom of Briaria?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Being the first prince means that he is older than Charles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must be in his thirties or forties.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he does not look so old.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And above all, I could not feel much magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magical power of the royalty of the Brillia Magical Kingdom is amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The amount of magic power of the royal family of the Brillia Magic Kingdom is amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, when Ars first met Lady Charlotte, a member of the royal family, Ars's magic power is said to be lower than that of Lady Charles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though he had the same amount of magical power as a great noble at that time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And this Master Charlotte had less magic power than Master Charles even though she had such a large amount of magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Benjamin, the first prince, is reputed to have more magic power than Charles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, the amount of magic power of the first prince in my mind which I had heard such a story and the amount of magic power of the man in front of me now do not match.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, I don't feel any magic power at all from the man in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Charles who speaks in women's language has a muscular and thick chest plate, but this Benjamin is more of a handsome man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His light hair and his beaming smile do not make him look very strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why he radiates [intimidation].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was curious about him because he seemed so ordinary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sharply sharpen my magic and strike him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this opponent is an ordinary person, as he looks, he may have difficulty breathing or lose consciousness from my [Intimidating Pressure].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he can resist a little, he may cower and hyperventilate by holding his chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If not, your face will turn pale.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he did not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even under the influence of my magic, his face did not change color at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wind in the willows, you might say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The thorns of my magic power were easily passed over without affecting the other person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll take that as a child's play, Lord Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't do this, Mr. Alphonse. That's not respectful to His Highness."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin smiles and calls my [intimidation] a child's play.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Elizabeth, who was watching the scene beside me, turns pale and says, "I'm sorry, Benjamin, but I don't know what to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, as the Countess of Briaria, it's only natural that Elizabeth would at least know the First Prince's face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, I'm pretty sure that it's her since I asked Sebas to confirm her identity when she came to my house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That means that the person in front of me must be the first prince who is the first candidate for the next king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of all the people I've met so far, this one seems to be the most unpredictable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least I know that Charles is much stronger than me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But as for this person, I can't even tell if he is strong or not, even when I see Elizabeth scared of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe he is so different from me that I can't measure his strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If so, Charles's competitors might be very tough opponents.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not being able to gauge his opponent's ability at all, I continued to talk with Benjamin, who was smiling at me afterwards.
