Running Away From The Hero!

# 12 Their reasoning: the reasoning of any test.

“Grrrgh!"

You barely dodge the dagger that ran past your thigh, but soon another dagger flies away.

“What kind of butler carries a dagger around?! ”

The mind of respecting the opposing Pokémon is also lost.

All I heard was to evaluate the skills of one of the Imperial Swordsmen, not the assassins.

“Oh, it doesn't matter, because it's all reported to the Imperial Court. ”

“Are you sure, Your Majesty? ”

This is no other place, but the empire of a great nation, the Karean Empire.

It is illegal to carry weapons unless authorized personnel.

The Imperial Court allowed a vassal of the Imperial Court to carry so many weapons?

“Yeah, I think you're right, Grandpa. I gave a lot of paperwork the last time I let you carry a weapon……. Honestly, I thought we were going to make a preliminary payment. ”

“That's right... No, an attack while I'm talking to you! Don't you know how to be polite to your lord? ”

“Yes, Grandpa. Unfortunately, Ast doesn't know that. ”

I can't believe there was such a thing coming out of the mouth of the Empress Dowager's favorite.

It's been a long time since I've been in the Imperial Court that I realized again that the world is wide and there are many lunatics.

“Then.”

It wouldn't be bad to inform a swordsman about his sword as a representative of the Swordsmen who can't respect it.

“So... Cough? ”

“Oh, now I feel like I'm on drugs. ”

What the fuck is he talking about?

“Your Grace?"

“Sorry. I knew he was crazy, but I didn't think he was this crazy. ”

The Queen Dowager couldn't look me in the eye and avoided my eyes.

A butler, not a prosecutor?

Yeah, that's understandable.

Therefore, the pitch is the main means?

Yeah, that's understandable, too.

But, but!

“You used poison as Imperial personnel! ”

It wasn't that strong.

Types of paralytic poisons that limit the body, not intended to cause fatal injury.

But it's also poison.

This item is not meant to be used as an Imperial resident.

“Yes? I don't think there's a place more poisoned than the Imperial Court... ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

I couldn't keep up with the words that asked me with a strange face.

“If we look at the history of the imperial family, we know that on average 2.8 people die of poison per month, especially in the case of the royal family, 4 out of 10 die of poison. ”

“No, that's not what I meant…. ”

In fact, poison is mostly used to assassinate static among nobles.

But what I meant to say was that it's a shame to poison an empire and a royal servant!

“Oh, well, I know what I want to say. Poison as a servant of His Majesty is a shameful thing to do to His Majesty. ”

“Th-that's it! ”

I thought he'd finally understood me, but it was a big, big mistake.

“It's a shame about you. It's nothing to be ashamed of." ”

“What?"

What the hell is he talking about?

“Hole!”

“Hehe! Now, you... know what you're talking about! ”

You are blaspheming the royal family.

That too... while watching your master!

“Ast, this is too generous for me, isn't it? ”

“If you have any complaints, please cut them off, my lord. From the moment I first came in, I just wanted to work as one of the many deacons in the imperial court, plain and quiet. ”

“Normal? You? This is your line to make fun of me, right? Is that the part where you smile now? ”

Words that did not seem to be the Lord's conversation began to follow.

Cheap taverns if you're in the right place.

In the imperial court, mannequins who add lies to other people's stories and make fun stories in a glass of wine reveal themselves.

“I'm ordinary. ”

“No, Ast. You don't know yourself very well. I admit it. You're the craziest son of a bitch I've ever seen in the Imperial Court. ”

“No, Your Majesty. I... hmm. No.”

“Are you trying to tell me I'm even crazier? ”

“Yes? It can't be, Your Majesty. How can I say such an insulting thing to His Majesty? ”

“Why don't you just stick it in your mouth and lie? You must be loyal when you see it. ”

He looks like a really annoying priest with a funny look on his face.

And…….

“Your Majesty, why are you calling me? ”

I ended up putting down my sword, being stuck in the middle and making Manndam's stuff.

“Huh? On the surface, I want to see what my grandfather is capable of that I'm going to teach him about sword learning. ”

“What is the truth? ”

“With Ast screwing with me and telling you to screw with me? ”

“Your Majesty……. ”

The appearance of His Highness speaking sweetly with a slight stick out his tongue contained the innate arrogance of his age.

“I think I ate it all by myself.... ”

“I'm sorry, Grandpa. ”

“Ahh... ”

I sigh by myself.

Even the Imperial Emperor would not be surprised to get kicked out of this position.

However, the current emperor once saved his wife's life.

You can't abandon your relationship with the princess he so desperately asked for.

“From now on, I want you to be honest with me, Your Grace. And... even more so if it's fighting this nonsense. ”

“Okay, inspiration. Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed, too? I never thought I'd be poisoned in the Imperial Court... Whew! ”

Kang!

“What the hell are you doing! ”

You swing the dagger that flies behind your back and look back.

“Yes? Of course it was an attack. ”

“The battle is over! ”

“No one admitted defeat, and you suddenly lowered your sword and spoke to the king. ”

“Didn't you stop attacking, too? ”

“Ah, the timing of the weapon is running out, so I just replenished it when I had the chance. ”

Many of the daggers around you have disappeared.

Seeing the opponent holding the longsword for the first time, I looked at you.

“Your Grace, are you really going to let that bastard be your butler? ”

“I never thought I'd get that word out of Grandpa's mouth.... I think I underestimated Astor's ability. ”

I don't think I've eaten it since I saw you smiling at my profanity.

This seems to be born in the right blood.

“Lord Leah, as his escort, do you intend to leave such a dangerous man at risk? ”

Then we'll have to change the target to someone else.

“Lord Ast says he wants to quit, but I can't help but notice that the person holding him. ”

“That's right. I want to get rid of my butler quickly and just clean up the imperial mess as a general butler. ”

As my gaze turned toward me, Lord Leah was agitated and answered, but it didn't seem to help much.

“Just admit defeat. I mean, honestly, he's paralyzed, poisoned, and things haven't changed that much, so he's trying to talk to you quietly, isn't he? ”

I wanted to quit, to be honest.

But that's just because it's ridiculous in this ridiculous situation.

The depth of training is not so low as to be defeated by a man who is just paralyzed by this kind of poison.

“My king is not a man who speaks with one mouth, but if this is the case, he catches the pods and makes trouble again.... It's good for everyone to admit defeat here... ”

“Not good. My defeat.”

“Yes?”

Seriously. It's been a really long time since I lifted my sword seriously.

“Not good. I didn't want to, but I was one of those representing the prosecutors……. ”

“Uh, Ast. I think Grandpa meant it. ”

“Ah, Lord Ast……. ”

“What is it, Your Majesty?! That funny look on your face about dying! Why is Lord Leah looking at me with such a pitiful face? ”

He felt that something was wrong and started throwing his dagger hard, but nothing touched me.

“Even though it looks like this, the sky of the sword, the body called the sword ceiling. ”

“Oh, wait. Isn't this a little harsh? ”

“What's worse is what you've done to that censor. It's okay, Ast. I'm not gonna kill you. You need to get your ass kicked. ”

The laughter and laughter of the princess also seriously changed her face.

“Lord Leah, can I borrow your sword? You can just throw it. ”

“Yes? You mean my sword? ”

“Yes, well, I'm a celestial inspector for the prosecutors... Would you do me a favor?" ”

“Yes, but borrowing the sword is a bit... ”

“If you let me defeat you the other day, you would grant me a wish." I'll use it now. ”

“Oh, no…. ”

Lord Leah, who was moaning for a moment, brought his sword and gave it to him.

“A sword handed to me by the Emperor himself, Ser Ast. Please don't throw anything... ”

“I'll do my best. ”

“Don't try... Please don't do this... ”

Lord Leah, who was looking at his sword with an uneasy look, stepped back and smiled at me.

“Thank you for your patience. ”

“Aren't you afraid? ”

“Fear. As a swordsman, there are plenty of chances to fight the skies of the sword without risking your life. ”

“Didn't I say it wasn't the prosecutor? ”

“You've got two swords, but it's a bit of a test, isn't it? ”

“Phew…. ”

The strength is completely different from what it was just before.

Seriously, raising a sword in both hands is a first-class swordsmanship by the looks of it.

“You're the swordsmith. ”

“Until training. The world is so rough these days, I have no choice but to learn to live. ”

“I'll give it a shot. ”

“I know it's my role to play! ”

Sword to sword.

I don't need any more words.

Swordsmen.

The moment I strike the sword, I don't need to say any more words.

‘Unlike expected……. ’

A fairly excellent sword.

How can someone who uses poison and memorization be so strong when there are so many articles that are underfunded compared to fancy technology?

“Where did you learn that? ”

“I worked pretty hard on my own! ”

Strike. Strike is heavy.

A skill that can transfer its full power and weight to a sword is hard to learn unless it has been wielding it for a long time.

‘There's not much movement. ’

Evade an attack at minimum intervals by evading an attack with an unison or counter attack. Be prepared to counter at any time.

“Were you a mercenary?”

“I did a little to survive. ”

And a simple foothold is a common catch for mercenaries in the mercenary world.

Unlike swords that are not compatible with people who use them, they are a good match.

‘I'm confused.’

The essence of the sword you use is the ability to fight Humans.

However, the sword that actually unfolds is more powerful against monsters than against Humans.

Especially when people slaughter monsters for a long time and look at the skills that spread when dealing with larger enemies than themselves, it feels even more so, but there is no awkwardness in dealing with humans.

“How old are you? ”

“Twenty-six yet! ”

“Haha, that's weird. It's weird.”

Sometimes there are geniuses.

Ordinary people get stronger at unimaginable speeds.

However, because they went too fast, they were largely inexperienced.

But interest is different.

No, I can assure you. This is normal.

But the years in his sword included many experiences that could not reach his age.

For someone under half my age... I feel like I have the same level of familiarity.

“Your servant... as well? ”

“I'd appreciate it if you said that in a good way! ”

“A compliment, a compliment! ”

How many people have experienced this at a young age?

“Then I will attack without hesitation!" ”

“Yes, come! ”

Paralyzed poison on the body?

The attack that made you ugly before?

An attitude that doesn't care about the lord?

It doesn't matter.

At this very moment, he is another swordsman against me!

Only with a sword!

“Dwarvish, Essential. ”

“Huh?"

Dwarf-style? Did you learn Dwarf swordsmanship too?

I don't even have experience fighting Dwarves. How much experience have I gained?

But his word goes on.

“Blade Fire! ”

“Son of a bitch! ”

Looking at the memory flying from his shoes, I realized again that he was just a dog, not a prosecutor.
