How To Survive as a Crazy Prince - How To Survive as a Crazy Prince chapter 106
“So, how long will you be at the knight academy before you return?”
Ivan asked after rewrapping the gun and setting it on my side. Katyusha and Byte both looked at me curiously. The two generations are busy eating cake.
“I was planning to visit for a year, but I don’t think I can afford to fill it all up.”
I want to take pictures of academies leisurely, but if I do that, I will be left behind. It has to move faster than the original flow.
The minimum time to be at the knight academy is,
“When the Colosseum is over, I want to organize it.”
The most important event of the Knight Academy is the Colosseum.
“Speaking of the Colosseum, you mean a contest to determine the strongest person in the academy, right? There are always one or two deaths every year.”
“okay. I will be careful not to kill him.”
“… … surely. You are not in a position to be afraid of dying.”
In the original version of the Knight Academy, after the Colosseum, the story skipped several years, and then the knight appointment episode immediately followed.
In other words, when the Colosseum arc ends, there is virtually no reason to remain at the knight academy. Even if you want to stay, it’s obvious that people around you won’t let you do that.
“Are you going to the Colosseum, too?”
“okay. Are you even worried about me?”
Katyusha asked, looking a bit surprised, and I answered deftly.
“It is not. Then, is it okay if I go out?”
Katyusha asked with enthusiasm in an unexpected part. It’s rare to express your opinion like this… … No, isn’t it really like that now?
“You want to go out, why did you think that?”
“I want to check my level. Is it at a level that can be used by the rest of the knight academy? Even though I don’t have magical powers, I’m not sure if I’ll be a good opponent… … .”
Katyusha put her hand on her chest and spoke in a voice that was a bit uneasy, but still felt that she wanted to do it.
then,
“Let them participate.”
There’s no reason not to do it.
“If it were you, you would be able to fight on an equal footing with tolerable guys even without magical powers. Step on the noses of those who rely on magical powers flat.”
“… … thank you We will do our best.”
“Of course you can’t kill me.”
I’m also curious how far Katyusha’s skills can go in the Colosseum. But I’m sure it won’t be easy.
“Isn’t Byte going to the Colosseum?”
“… … I didn’t come to the knight academy to learn swordsmanship in the first place. I will keep quiet and focus on my studies.”
Byte answered Katyusha’s question with embarrassment.
“Everyone has a role they can do well. Byte just needs to do what he can do best. Even today, it has been a great help.”
Even in the original work, it was a weak byte in the combat field. I have no intention of overdoing it. At my words, Byte nodded as if relieved.
“Then, you must be back within at least half a year.”
Ivan stroked his chin and repeated. There seems to be something troubling you.
“Is there something I need to come back to quickly?”
“… … Not too long ago, there was a purge.”
purge.
It was an execution for rebellious elements that frequently occurred in Iron Blood.
“A mutiny has been detected in the fortress ahead. Everyone involved has been sorted out.”
“A rebellion was detected. What did you do?”
“They said they were stealing military supplies. Including our official firearms.”
“… … Right.”
If you look at this side too, it’s a rebel element. It’s a complicated feeling to think it’s someone else’s story.
“I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t think I actually intended to rebel. Wouldn’t it be a livelihood corruption?”
“Still, there is nothing different about corruption. Is it to be treated as a rebellion and purged to set an example? Or maybe I just didn’t like it in the first place.”
However, since I couldn’t show that feeling in front of Ivan, I calmly sarcastically said it.
‘Perhaps it happened while I was dealing with the abandoned mine case.’
It is strange that I have only now come across information without doing so.
“Well, since the purge itself is done in secret, the story probably didn’t go all the way to the knight academy. A student or two might have been arrested.”
As if answering my question, Ivan explained.
“That is not a pleasant story. What does that have to do with my return?”
When I showed displeasure, Ivan cleared his throat.
“Afterwards, while unable to find the right person to be in charge of the fortress, there was a person that His Majesty the Emperor caught his eye, and that was… … .”
What Ivan said
“There are rumors that you are the crown prince.”
It was an unexpected, but if common, common development.
“… … what?”
“It’s just a rumor. Maybe the crown prince will be appointed.”
“Are you making me, who was imprisoned a while ago, the commander of the fortress?”
Even though it was a common development, it was not a story that could be easily understood.
“Is your father sane?”
“… … .”
At my words, Ivan was silent as if he didn’t know what to say.
“You seem to agree.”
“No, no. sorry.”
Ivan hastily apologized. I snorted and thought for a moment.
‘If it’s common, it’s a common development, but… … .’
Could this be the mission given to me during the training period for the other comrades at the knight academy? Perhaps it was a place where his abilities as a crown prince were tested.
“So, what is the name of that fort? You haven’t asked the most important thing yet.”
If it were a normal pattern, would it be the coldest and most barren fortress in the Far North suitable for Iron Blood? The place where the first order is issued is usually such a law.
“hmm. That is… … .”
“I don’t care where you are. Please speak comfortably.”
I prepared my heart. Ivan smiled slightly as if he was embarrassed and replied.
“It is Takrama Fortress.”
Everyone except for the 2nd generation stiffened at Ivan’s answer.
“Are you referring to the desert fort by Takrama?”
“It is. Come to think of it, you said that the second generation of your ancestors came from there, right?”
“yes. But it doesn’t really feel like home.”
Located at the far end of Iron Blood, it is the only ‘not cold’ area. That’s why they couldn’t expand their territory anymore.
“They must have come here because it’s a difficult place to survive.”
That was the desert fortress Takrama. I had inadvertently forgotten that there are worse places out there.
“… … .”
I closed my eyes and lost myself in thought for a moment.
“Is your father sane?”
And he asked very sincerely.
“I’m presumptuous, but honestly, I’m not sure.”
Ivan’s reaction, which calmly expressed sympathy, made my stomach ache.
‘The environment is also the environment, but… … . How did it happen… … .’
It was the place where Mikhail, who was pushed out as he was pushed out in the original work, met his end.
The meal that followed was canceled.
It was also because I had finished most of the stories I was going to tell in the rose garden, but I couldn’t help it because there was someone I cared about. I wanted to punch him for Ivan pretending to be sorry and saying that he couldn’t help it with a strange attitude of being very relieved.
After sending Byte and Katyusha back for the time being, the two of us got on the carriage and got off near the Azumashi Workshop.
There, a scruffy, blond man with a shaggy beard was sitting in an open seat.
“Huaam… … . uh, brother?”
It was Borland, the developer of the double barrel shotgun, whom he met in Caspal’s estate.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Ahh. that’s the point I ended up losing the letter of introduction that my brother wrote for me.”
Borland chuckled, “It’s all over the place.” It’s pitiful that it’s a messy look different from when I saw it in Caspal’s estate.
“Take care of that. What is this like? I have no face when I introduced you.”
“Sorry sorry. Because I’m a little bit picky.”
Thanks to that, this guy still doesn’t know that I’m the crown prince. At this point, it seems like I was born with the fate of not knowing my identity.
“… … Is a man like this really useful?”
The two asked with a tired expression. It was difficult for me to answer because I was a little anxious.
“ah. I’m not the girl who beat me up with excitement. My back still hurts.”
“Stop talking nonsense and pull out your gun. I will show this lady.”
“It’s my gun. You tried to show it off before and got beaten up and kicked out?”
“Didn’t I tell you to stop talking nonsense?”
When I frowned, Borland said he was joking and shook his hand and rummaged through the luggage behind him. Then he took out the double barrel shotgun he had used earlier in the abandoned mines and handed it to me.
“This guy made it. It was quite fun.”
“Two barrels? It looks crude at first glance, but… … Uhm?”
The two took the shotgun and looked around, showing amazement, puzzlement, or shock, showing funny reactions.
“… … What were you thinking when you made this?”
In the end, he asked with an expression of complete exhaustion. Is there something you really don’t like? I was also a little anxious.
“Did you make it without thinking?”
“I see, it looks like that.”
The two sighed heavily. Was it cool from an expert point of view?
“Is something wrong?”
“Now, somehow, it seems to be miraculously stable, but… … If you make a weapon this way, you usually die.”
The two looked at their shotguns and made a terrifying sound.
“die?”
“There is no proper safety device and the loading of gunpowder is poor. Is it 10 times more likely to explode compared to conventional firearms? I like the idea of increasing the barrel to two and firing with a full load of small bullets… … What can I say?”
The two looked down at Borland.
“It’s good that I survived by making and writing something like this.”
Then he shook his head and said something that I didn’t know if it was a compliment.
“I can’t usually make a weapon like this because I’m scared. because it’s dangerous It is an attempt that can be done because there is no idea. In a sense, it is a talent.”
“I don’t know if you’re praising or cursing, young lady.”
Borland crossed his arms and tilted his head in disbelief. I feel the same way. So what conclusion did you draw?
“… … I’ll hire you as an assistant. I never thought I would be taking on a guy like this as my first apprentice.”
The 2nd generation reached out to Borland and said. The conclusion was hiring.
“It’s nice to be hired suddenly… … Who is this woman?”
And Borland now came and asked. He seems like someone who doesn’t even know I’m the crown prince.
“You didn’t know until now. It’s the 2nd Azmash.”
“… … hmm? Who is this beardless woman?”
I wondered what Borland was talking about. The two sighed lightly and took out a small razor blade from their arms.
And before anyone could react, he swung the razor blade into Borland’s face.
From noble mtl dot com
“aaagh?! uh, uh uh uh?”
The razor blade slid across Borland’s chin as he screamed in surprise——.
“Doesn’t that mean you don’t have a beard anymore?”
In an instant, the messy beard became very neat.
“… … .”
Borland fingered his smoothed chin in disbelief.
“… … This woman is in her second generation.”
“Didn’t you do that? Trust me when people say it.”
With this, Borland safely became the first disciple of the second generation Azmash.
