The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today - Chapter 111



111 – [Abduction] The crown prince is tired today too.(1)

Michael Schelgart was the crown prince.

The next emperor and sole heir to the throne.

His father had no other children besides him.

This was a very strange thing considering the position of the emperor where Mikhail’s father was located.

The emperors of the empire accepted their partners for various reasons.

In order to check the power struggle of nobles, take a noble’s daughter as a wife.

It’s just that the emperor was very revealing and greeted his wife whenever he had time.

Or, like his father, to marry a wife out of love.

It was very unusual.

Like his father, the current emperor, he loves only one person and no longer welcomes his partner.

First of all, there will be interruptions from the nobles, but when you sit in the position of emperor, you usually become arrogant.

However, even though his father sat in the position of emperor.

He had been promised marriage since he was the crown prince, and he only loved his mother.

Before he was born, even after he was born until now.

And, Mikhail respected such a father.

A father who is the king of the empire and the best man for his woman.

Of course, as a child, I didn’t like it very much when his father handed over the job to him, saying he would play with his wife.

Nevertheless, he respected his father.

He later dared to think that he wanted to be an emperor like his father and a husband like his father.

Yes, I dare.

“······Rebecca Valencia.”

“No, Your Highness. Please call me Rebecca. As of today, the Duke of Valencia will disappear from history as a treason at Your Highness’ hands.”

“····.”

“I will destroy the Order today and die.”

Without thinking at all how hard it was, what a great man his father was.

I’m telling you now, but his father was a much greater man than he imagined.

Looking at the fact that he brilliantly performed the duty of an emperor who had failed perfectly, while also combining the duty of being a husband.

He was by no means an easy person to catch up with.

***

Mikhail, who grew up as the Crown Prince, always lived a busy life.

Wake up at dawn and finish your swordsmanship training before the sun rises.

After his sword training, he had breakfast with his mother.

After breakfast.

In the morning, he received education as the next emperor, or sat next to his father at work and helped the emperor with his work.

It was hard, but I didn’t show it.

He studied and grew up from a young age, and his father took it for granted without saying anything.

As the next emperor, he thought it was a matter of course.

If he were to inherit the throne, that was what he had to do after all.

I took magic lessons in the afternoon.

Although she is not to the extent of Princess Rebecca, who is said to be the best wizard in the empire.

First of all, he had more magic power than ordinary wizards.

He made a separate request to the imperial mage, and in the afternoon when his duties as the prince were all over, he was taking magic lessons.

Repetition of daily life like this treadmill.

The only time his daily life changed was when he had something to do in the imperial family.

Even that was mostly handled by his father.

It was only natural that there was almost no change in his repetitive daily life.

Today was one of those repetitive days.

“······The Commander of the Knights.”

“Did you call me, sir?”

“I’m tired, so why don’t we have sparring?”

“······Why are you sparring when you’re tired?”

“My body is tired, so I’m just talking about moving and solving it.”

“Do you seriously think you can defeat me?”

“····.”

I always think about it, but the knight commander standing upright next to him was a very boring person.

A woman who doesn’t take a joke as a joke.

She is, but her swordsmanship is the best among the imperial knights, and even better than that of the crown prince.

······ She’s a strange woman who never does anything beyond her duties.

‘No, is that natural?’

Coming to think of it, that was a normal reaction.

Who the hell wants to do more than what he does?

It’s not like they pay more for more.

It’s just one more thing to do.

If you are not a person with a strong desire to grow, you will never be welcomed.

With this in mind, he asked the knight commander again.

“I won’t be able to defeat you, but… Wouldn’t it be nice if my skills improved in the process?”

“Deterioration. There is a saying.”

“What do you mean?”

“There is a saying that when the difference between skills is too great, it feels like being beaten instead of learning.”

“····.”

That meant that the difference in skill between him and myself was that much.

Her sparring with her wouldn’t help him at all.

He’d only get beaten up by himself.

A very arrogant remark, considering that Mikhail’s swordsmanship is superior to that of an ordinary imperial knight.

“······Is that so?”

“Yes, my lord. So preserve the jade body.”

“If you are, then so be it.”

However, he didn’t bother putting on a toe.

Because I knew better than anyone that the woman in front of me was the second best swordsman in the empire.

“······Whoa.”

“Why are you sighing all of a sudden? It’s draining.”

“I couldn’t find any courtesy towards my lord in you, even after washing my eyes.”

That’s why I was more annoyed by the way the commander of the knights spoke than by the authenticity of that arrogant statement.

In his own way, he also has the title of crown prince.

He is definitely not a position that can be ignored with the position of leader of the imperial knights.

What the hell does this woman believe she is and she is so rude to him.

“Do you intend to punish me?”

“I don’t think so.”

“But why are you being so petty? The one who will become everyone’s monarch in the future.”

“······Phew. It’s my fault. It’s my fault.”

This was all his fault.

It was his fault for keeping Veronica close to him by treating him not as the crown prince for the first time, but as a single person.

“I don’t know what you mean by the lowly’s fault, but I don’t think it’s my fault.”

“Can’t we just be quiet?”

“Yes.”

“······Does that mean you want to be quiet? Or does it mean you don’t want to be quiet?”

“It means I don’t want to be quiet.”

“······Whoa.”

A few sighs came out of the reality without an answer.

Veronica opened her mouth as if she had no shame in looking up to the sky.

“At least because of me, the boredom of the lower world will disappear even a little.”

“Does such a person blow candles saying that there is no meaning in asking for sparring?”

“What if it’s true?”

“······Don’t talk.”

At first, it was obviously strange, so I put it aside.

As the days went by, it felt like only the annoying things were increasing.

“Hey, look at this.”

“What is that?”

“I found some interesting papers.”

Still, it’s because Veronica does good things by helping him with his work sometimes.

I can stay like this by his side until now.

Thought so, I glanced over the documents Veronica handed me.

“This is… The Duke’s family of Valencia?”

“Yes. Princess Rebecca is getting engaged.”

“······That crazy princess?”

By the way, the meaning of crazy here means that you are a very outstanding person.

If the knight commander next to him had the 2nd best swordsmanship in the empire, the first was none other than Rebecca Valencia.

The genius of the century.

A talent that only appears once in a thousand years.

All of these words meant Rebecca Valencia of the Valencian ducal family.

Just as I didn’t dispute Veronica’s words about swordsmanship, I didn’t dare to dispute Rebecca’s title this time either.

“It’s no big deal. You said the other day that you’d never get married.”

The reason is that he has met Princess Rebecca several times because of his position as crown prince.

The Rebecca I met in real life was just as rumored.

Unlike her appearance as if she came down from a goddess, her face is always cold.

He has the best talent in the empire, but an arrogant personality comparable to that talent.

Princess Rebecca was the one he didn’t want to get close to because of her flirtatious personality.

······But the engagement of that icy rose-like princess?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Veronica said what she knew.

“It is said that the matter was decided between the princess and her counterpart, Prince Albert, before her parents were even born.”

“······The Duke of Valencia decided it himself?”

“Yes. It says so in this document.”

“Hmm.”

It felt a bit convincing.

No matter how much she is Princess Rebecca, she can’t go against her parents’ words.

“······I don’t know who the opponent is, but it’s pitiful.”

“Yes. I think so too.”

Only the person who was chosen as the princess’s betrothal was pitiful.

It must be the same as an unexpected marriage for you, but the other person is the coldest princess in the world.

“What did you say his name was?”

“Would you like to meet me?”

“That’s how it should be. It’s not from another family, it’s said that she’s the fiancé of the Duke of Valencia.”

I felt like I should meet him and comfort him.

We’re going to see each other anyway, so I thought it would be nice if we got to know each other in advance.

“His name is Albert Zernias… You’re not saying you’re tired from work right now, are you?”

“····.”

“Deterioration? Why can’t you answer?”

“······Knight Commander, hush.”

“Degradation!!!”

Absolutely not because he had nothing to do and was tired.

······Perhaps.
