Master’s Smile

Lesson 96: Master of the Sword

Mr. Nina... No, after Princess Nina introduced herself, I was only smiling but making a fuss in my heart.

Oh, are you a princess......

The princess, who occupies a position close to the top of the table stage, and me, the master of the most hated dark guild behind it.

Originally, the faces you were never supposed to meet were facing each other here.

…………

And it was Ritter, who, on the table, belonged to the Knights of the Kingdom and, behind him, to the Army of the Saviors (Yerkchilla), who created the situation.

She leaned her neck strangely to what I was seeing.

Damn...... I can't get mad!

"Now, can you introduce yourself, too?

Princess Nina has been staring at me.

The eyes were not as alert as the eyes that looked at the suspicious, but the colour of trying to identify me was darker.

Ugh... my stomach hurts...

Still, I can't ignore the princess's orders, so when I try to introduce myself under a pseudonym...

"Master"

"Hmm?

Litter introduced me. In the name I was cautious not to call you.

... I don't know. I feel like my life span has slipped a lot in the last day, no, a few hours.

Princess Nina also tilts her neck wondering what the hell that means.

Ma, not good. Worst case scenario, Ritter alone was teleported to Alliance headquarters... no, if I helped him, he'd be suspicious.

Princess Nina raised her voice as I roared.

"Ahhh! Always, the one Ritter was talking about, is this man!

"Yeah."

Litter nods to Princess Nina's confirmation.

Yes, we always talked...?

Litter is stupid enough to call me Master so many times despite all that caution...... he is pure.

Taking that into account, the content of what we were always talking about is also like another hell of a thing...

"I'm listening to you. You seem to be the master of this litter sword."

No, but?

But it didn't seem like Ritter was a fool without thought either.

Instead of introducing me as the master of the Dark Alliance, did you decide to talk about me as the master of the sword?

... the problem is that Ritter's swordsmanship will surely be stronger than mine.

I haven't even held a sword in a while, have I?

"Plus, I hear he's like a brave man who rescues the weak and frustrates the strong"

Princess Nina smiles and says so.

My rating is wrong!?

I don't remember helping someone that weak, and I don't remember taking out someone that strong.

If that's what you mean, Yut and Maho who went back to the other world seemed more brave.

"The master is very good looking. You helped me, my dear."

With no expression, I dyed my cheeks and fingered my body around the litter.

No, I did help you once before... but I just made the trigger, and Litter didn't generally do something about it himself?

"Hmm...... Really, Ritter seems to trust you. If you're a litter teacher, I'd like you to see me for a moment..."

Princess Nina turns a belligerent eye, so I sweat cold with a smile on my face.

No, that's why I haven't held my sword lately...

Seeing Princess Nina's sword bare, she seemed stronger than the other knights despite being a princess.

If I'm bad, I won't be happy with five bodies. [M]

Litter opened his mouth as he explored the words to try and say no somehow.

"I can't. You can't seem to beat me, you'll never beat the master"

"Hmm..."

Duh, why are you saying that so belligerently!?

Princess Nina seems to have a lot of pride in hating to lose, although she can tell by just talking a little bit.

If you say this to her like that......

"I won't be losing to you forever. Usually, you don't look like you're working out much, and me, who always needs to work out. It's obvious which is growing, isn't it?

"I can't. I'm stronger"

When Princess Nina hits a sharp gaze, Ritter hits a gaze that shows no emotion.

Hih, hih... The air is heavy.

The maid, who had given Princess Nina a a towel to refrain from, is also shaking small......

But this pressing situation ends with Princess Nina fogging the atmosphere.

"I've always wanted to stand together... but I've been summoned to the royal castle. We have to leave now. Litter, come with me."

I sigh. [M]

Even from what I've seen, Ritter is stronger than Princess Nina.

No matter how close you are to each other, what punishment will Ritter suffer if it comes to overthrowing the First Princess of the Kingdom...

If that happens, I'll do my best to protect Litter!

Nevertheless, if Princess Nina has business at the Royal Castle, I must leave now.

Because of this, Ritter invited me out, which, unfortunately, seems to be all this time.

Now, why don't you ask me out?

Though it was me I thought so......

"Master, come with me"

I laugh bitterly at the words Ritter says as he hugs me in the arm.

Ha, you can't if you're selfish, Litter.

There's no way an outsider like me can follow the First Princess into the Imperial Castle, is there?

I'm an adult, and I'm supposed to be working on paperwork at Alliance headquarters.

"Shit. Go."

But even with my persuasion, Litter won't let go of his arm.

... Well, the reason I did go out was because I wanted her to see what she was doing.

I'd love to see the litter work as much as I can... but inside the royal castle, it won't work for boulders.

Also, let me take a look at it another time... even though Ritter swells her cheeks a little smaller and looks up at me.

Oh, you can't have those naughty eyes! I'm going to obey you!

As she managed to contain the selfish litter, Princess Nina ran out of her mouth about something outrageous.

"No, isn't that okay? I'll allow it."

Yep...

Permission granted... no matter how much Princess Nina admits, no outsider who is not a knight of the kingdom will enter the royal castle, right?

The royal castle really only allows people who are necessary and important to some kingdoms.

"The royal side is allowed to accompany up to two people into the castle. To my side, I'm just talking about adding you. Until now, it was just Litter."

hey, what a... was that system...

But is Princess Nina good?

I can't believe it hasn't been an hour since I met him, but suddenly he's close...

"It's someone Litter trusts. You won't have to worry about anything. Besides, are you gonna do me any harm?

Princess Nina smiles at me like a prank, so I shake my neck beside her with a bitter smile.

... litter, it would be too trustworthy.

"Then nothing is wrong. What's more, adding a mentor who raised as many knights as Ritter to my camp will certainly benefit."

Princess Nina laughed happily and realized I couldn't get away anymore.

Next to me, looking sideways at the litter nodding contentedly.
