26 26 Huuta came all over! (1/2)

”Occupation” is like a family register.

It changes very rarely.

The First Princess Lilac was born with the occupation of ”scheming hero.”

A hero who uses his cunning to become a standard-bearer.

The king was very concerned about the birth of such a being.

However, for a while after his birth, he did not need to worry too much.

She had grown up as an innocent jumper, a girl who longed to be a knight, a hero rather than a scoundrel.

However, at the age of 12 or 3, when she was intelligent, witty, and eloquent, the king's concern resurfaced.

She was a lovely girl now, but the thought of her turning into an enemy when something happened in the future made him uneasy.

There were not many people who had the occupation of a wily man, and there were hardly any materials available.

By chance, the king heard a rumor of a wily man born in the Far East.

The king was relieved to learn that he was also a man who would serve as a vassal during his reign.

It's a simple story.

”The wicked man was one step ahead of the king.

That's all.

The source of the rumor is still unknown.

The king doesn't know. --Scheming, born in the Far East, was a rebel of the century who was only spared because he was expected to be a good retainer during his reign.

A little truth in a lie. The rudimentary methods of disinformation were the best survival strategies that the young Wicked Man could come up with.

--The day of the match.

The garden under the royal castle where Lilac and Futa usually used to cross swords.

Today, a seat was set up here, and the invited dignitaries were watching the center with tea in their hands.

A match between the rumored guest of the First Lilac Princess and the fighting swordsman brought by Richter L. Klingbloom.

Not many people saw the match as a mere spectacle.

Most of them were thinking like this.

It was a battle to decide who would be Princess Lilac's knight.

The sunny garden was a different kind of beauty from the usual night face that Futa usually visited.

Surrounded by hedges, the green of the plants shone more beautifully in the sunlight.

The plants and flowers that I could not see in the dark were also beautiful and a feast for the eyes.

However, today's main attraction was not the botanical garden, but the lawn in the center of the garden.

It was a field tailor-made for swordsmen.

Isn't it difficult to move?

No, not a problem. Thank you, sir.

In a corner of the garden. In a corner of the garden, surrounded by guards, sits the princess.

In front of her stood Futa. Wearing the formal attire prepared for this occasion.

”It suits you subtly, Futa-sama.

”Don't be subtle, I know what I'm doing.

No cape, but white tights and a red jacket.

It's not a soldier, but a soldier of war. I'm not a soldier, I'm a knight.

It is true that the rugged atmosphere of Futa does not suit him well.

The princess is also honest, so she refrains from commenting on his attire.

Corona shows the lilac with the palm of her hand.

When Futa glanced at her, she only smiled, as if troubled.

It's not polite, Corona.

You don't deny it, do you?

Forgive me.

Lilac tells Huta, her shoulders slumping.

”Futa. Don't worry, looks have nothing to do with arms.

”Wow, a final shot to follow up on the princess.

”Did I do something wrong to you two ......?

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You're not nervous, and you didn't have much to say.

”Oh, no. I'm not nervous, but I'm glad you're paying attention to me like that.

I see. Well, then... please live up to my expectations.

Yes.

I nod.

She stepped back from Lilac and seemed to have her hands full with all the people who came to greet her.

”I'm a scoundrel.”

He didn't care about her profession or what she was thinking.

Futa had been indifferent to such things until now.

But it's a different story when it comes to wicked men.

Some say that a ”wicked man” will destroy the country he was born in.

In a sense, it was a rare and infamous profession.

So we should not be alarmed.

Futa looks back at his own path so far.

The opposite.

Just as the label ”unemployed” was very painful for Futa.

If she was born to be a ”wicked male,” then it's no wonder so many people have treated her the way they have.

Naturally, she would have to fight alone.

If she had been born into royalty, she would have been considered dangerous and her family would have killed her.

And yet, she is the one who has survived this long without being crushed.

I may not be able to help her in any way.

But the girl who reached out to me was really wielding a sword all by herself.

I can see that scene vividly in my mind's eye.

I didn't want to know that and not be able to do anything about it.

I wanted to at least be able to support him.
