Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 88



88. The Back and the Truth (5)

“What’s going on?”

Click. Click.

Two people waving at me in a dark alley.

They were the men I saw at the dinner table on the first floor earlier.

One of the special agents who hit Hedy’s plate, one who appeared to be his friend.

I walked confidently towards them and entered the alley.

As if they had made a promise, the two of them pushed me against the wall of the alley.

One of them spoke to me with his arms crossed and a slouched posture.

“Are you the apprentice of Sword Master Iris?”

“Yes, but.”

“Ha! I guess you can’t see anything because you’re under the protection of the Sword Master. Hey, if you act like that on this floor, you’ll die without anyone knowing.”

“Can you tell me why they die without anyone knowing?”

“As your senior in life, I’ll explain it to you kindly. Once your training is over and Sword Master’s protection is over, if you’re not careful on your way home at night, you could easily get lost.”

“Hehehe.”

A guy who appears to be the friend of the guy who was making a fuss laughs in agreement next to him.

Who would have thought that a special agent of the Empire would go around spouting out such third-rate villain-like lines… .

There is no such thing as a separate level for lung cancer.

Are you the son of a noble family that rose to fame overnight?

The lack of character education was due to the fact that he looked 10 years older than me, but his mental age seemed completely different.

I just burst out laughing.

Then, the expressions of the two men who had been giggling suddenly changed to dark ones.

“… Hey, what’s funny?”

“You might disappear at night… That’s a threat that you wouldn’t be able to spit out lightly unless you were a descendant of a fairly high-ranking official.”

“That’s right. Have you heard of the Count of Ater? I am his successor.”

“The Counts of Ater… Indeed, they are the heart of the empire, in charge of its arms business. I have heard of them.”

“If you knew, you would talk quickly. Get on your knees and beg me-”

“But so what?”

“…what?”

The grumbling special agent opens his eyes with a start.

I continued talking without paying any attention to him.

“Count Ater’s family, and a special agent. What’s the big deal?”

An eye for an eye.

This is this.

Even if I say something nice, it doesn’t seem like he’ll even listen.

If these guys believe in their family and act accordingly… .

“Then let me ask you this time. Have you heard of the Duke of Brace?”

I just respond to that.

… There was silence for a moment.

Duke of Brace.

There’s no way they hadn’t heard of it.

A principality established by Emperor Lyanna of the Empire immediately after unification, by granting land separately to his direct descendants who had made great contributions in war.

The royal family name of the descendants who rule that duchy is ‘Brace’.

Even the people of the Lyanna Empire, who do not memorize the family names one by one and are bothered by politics, know the name ‘Brace’.

Another principality and at the same time a family granted by the Emperor.

Now that they have figured out what’s going on, the faces of the two guys who were bickering until just now turn pale.

“Why are you saying that? Surely you don’t know the Brace family?”

“That’s a lie! There’s no way a prince of a duchy would volunteer for such a dangerous mission! It’s all a bluff… GASP!”

I took the name tag out of my pocket and held it out in front of them.

A golden plaque depicting two dragons coiling together and ascending to heaven.

The dragon on the left represents the Empire of Lyanna, her sister. The dragon on the right represents the Duchy of Brace.

“Hee, heeeek…!”

The two men who saw the nameplate stepped back in fear, like Dracula seeing garlic.

The effect was immediate. These guys need to be treated equally to come to their senses.

I spoke coldly to the two who were still not in their right minds.

“… Aren’t you going to apologize?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!! I committed a mortal sin!! I, I’ll make sure this never happens again-”

“I didn’t get involved in anything!! I just followed this guy because he called me!!”

“What?! Hey! You were the one who praised me to correct your bad habits in the first place!!”

“Everyone stop.”

As soon as I opened the book, the two became quiet.

I told them both.

“Please hit each other on the cheek.”

“…yes?”

“yes?”

“I’ll give you a slap in the face, so just dash. I don’t want to make a big fuss during my mission either.”

“Is it true…?”

“Have you been living a life of deception? Or, shall I do it according to the law?”

“Oh, no! I will answer!”

The faces of the two people who quickly kissed each other brightly.

I looked at the two and smiled to myself.

‘I guess I’m relieved that it’ll just get over something like this.’

I don’t like causing trouble during missions, but I don’t want to give these guys a hard time either.

-Shooo.

I never thought I’d end up using this for practice like this.

But if not now, then when will I ever get to write to someone like this?

I concentrated the strength of my entire body and squeezed out the magical power of my danjeon.

“Uh, uh…?”

The one who had his cheek pressed closest seemed to sense something strange and fidgeted and broke out in a cold sweat, but it was already too late.

“This is my first time controlling my strength, so it could be dangerous. Grit your teeth.”

“Yes, yes? Gasp-!”

-bang!

As soon as one of them hit me in the cheek, the huge impact caused him to slam his entire body against the wall behind him.

He just sat there, motionless.

I was struck by a blow that ignited my entire body and I passed out.

“What, what is this…!”

Next, the guy who had been pushing in my cheek flinched and stepped back.

But you won’t be able to run away.

The moment you run away, you will make the entire Duchy of Brace your enemy.

I calmly recited to the remaining guy who was unable to do anything.

“next.”

“… … .”

***

“Huh? Why are your cheeks like that?”

“… … .”

The next morning, just before leaving for the wyvern nest.

Gavolp, who was checking the special forces personnel, tilted his head and said.

At Gavolv’s words, the two people who had slapped me yesterday looked at me sideways.

I spoke to those two with my eyes.

If you talk, you’ll die.

They quickly turned their gazes and spoke to Gavolp, as if they had noticed my gaze.

“Okay, Jaha is lying down… ”

“me too….”

“How on earth did you sleep so well that you’re rolling around like that? Can you still continue with the mission?”

“Go, it’s Gaheunghap!”

“…okay.”

Their pitiful appearance is comical.

Could this be the sadistic side of my personality showing through?

I tried to turn my head away, holding back the laughter that was about to burst out.

Then Hedy, who was next to me, said to me.

“Xian… what did you do?”

I couldn’t answer rashly in front of everyone.

I just kept holding back laughter.

Hedy, who saw that day, sighed and stopped pressing the question, perhaps feeling certain.

“Okay, let’s go! From now on, you guys need to be on your toes!”

“The vanguard will charge forward while keeping a close watch! The rearguard will advance slowly while escorting the carriage carrying Lady Iris!”

As soon as Gavolp gave the order to depart, everyone started moving busily.

We were too old to ride horses, and we were reserve forces, so we rode in the carriage with Iris.

Rattling, rattling!

“Hey!”

Our carriage also moves following the advance party that set out on horseback first.

From noble mtl dot com

The special agent who was steering the horses in the carriage we were riding said.

“Let’s go!”

Now the real mission began.

.

.

.

.

It’s been four hours since we started moving in the opposite direction, with our backs turned to the coastal continent and the sea.

We were hungry, so we ate dried beef jerky and kept our guard up without letting our guard down.

Then Iris said.

“I sense a presence in the distance. I think it would be best to get ready now.”

As Iris said, I felt a presence from the other side that was incomparable to that of a normal demon.

Soon after, Gavolf also shouted.

“A flying creature, presumably a flock of wyverns, has been detected in the sky! All cavalry, immediately stop moving, and the rearguard, prepare to intercept!”

“”yes-!””

The carriage suddenly stops.

The advance guard’s inspectors take out their swords and spears and stand guard.

The remaining wizards quickly took out their wands and began to chant magic.

Each person’s special attribute magic.

As they unleashed their respective main magics, such as fire, ice, and lightning, a geometric magic circle quickly appeared out of thin air.

-Whoa!

“Not yet! Don’t shoot yet! Shoot when you’re close enough!”

From far away in the sky, something is flapping its wings and flying towards us at incredible speed.

It looked like a pack of wyverns. Their threatening speed, although not as fast as the speed of sound, was faster than a flying arrow, and was enough to make us nervous.

“Now! Shoot!”

As soon as the wyvern’s form became visible, Gavolf shouted.

From the numerous magic circles that the rearguard had prepared, which were filled with powerful light, a huge amount of magic began to be released.

Fire arrows, ice spears, and rushing lightning.

A rain of high-ranking 5th circle magic poured down countless times on the flock of flying wyverns.

-Bam! Kwakwang! Thump! Khuuu.

Some of the wyverns flying towards us are hit by the magic and fall down, while those that are lucky enough to not get hit continue to fly towards us.

It seemed like about three survived.

“Your Majesty, the rearguard will now pull the wyvern down from the air. Let us prepare for a combined attack.”

“Yes. Then what about Hedi…?”

“Heidi, please protect the prince from variables. That will be enough.”

“All right!”

It was finally our turn.
