How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

A search in the woods took place for several days.

Knights and wizards moved through the night.

It is the same that Drexla, the guide, was also with them.

However, the directions were enough for the first few days, so Drexla was able to return after that.

After spending a week at the family of the Marquis of Geshen, Leo and his party returned to the palace.

The way back was smooth.

There was no monster attack, and there was nothing special.

one if there was

“This is amazing. If you apply to join the Knights right away, they will rush to give you all kinds of support.”

Drexla, who was educating Celise, is now almost a fan of hers.

And that wasn’t all.

The knights who traveled with her were also shocked by her talent.

– Wedges!

– Wedge juice!

Selize swung her sword while sweating.

“under… . It’s been less than a month since you learned swordsmanship, but you’re saying that a trail like that is already coming out?”

“If you listen carefully, your breathing and swordsmanship are in sync.”

“Huh true. If you say it anywhere, you will be laughed at and told not to lie. At that time, I couldn’t even properly hold a wooden sword, let alone a real sword.”

The other knights murmured one word at a time as they watched her perform vertical and horizontal weaving.

As if she was born to practice swordsmanship, Celise was absorbing Drexla’s teachings.

“Whoa… .”

Celise stopped swinging her sword and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

As if Drexla had been waiting, she approached and handed me a towel.

“Good job.”

“thank you.”

Celise smiled and lightly accepted the towel.

Drexla looked at her and asked.

“How can you do that?”

Celise had great talent.

He was a talented person who knew ten if he taught one.

But what surprised Drexla was something else.

‘It must be hard to even move because of muscle pain all over the body, but you’re following my orders all the way here.’

Since Celise is a court lady of the royal family, she is not from a commoner, but the daughter of a viscount.

Because of this, I received various education from a young age, and physical training was included among them.

But that’s a normal level of exercise.

It was never to the point of accepting the high-intensity swordsmanship training that Drexla instructed.

However, Celise didn’t say anything and carried out the instructions perfectly.

No matter what talent is good, swordsmanship itself is a field that cannot develop without effort in the first place.

So Drexla admired the zeal and willpower that flowed from her eyes.

“Your talent is obviously great. However, to be honest, this grit and effort is more surprising. What is your mindset?”

“Well… well.”

Selisse responded casually as she stowed away her sword.

Her hands and arms were trembling slightly.

“The reason is simple. It’s because I don’t want to do nothing and just watch when deterioration is in danger like last time.”

When Leo was about to be attacked by a werewolf, she threw herself in the way.

I heard later that Leo was able to stop it on his own, so it was a stupid move.

However, she could not just watch the crisis of Leo, who had been raised by her since she was a child.

And it was from then.

‘strength. I need strength.’

I didn’t know when I was in the palace.

Because no one dared to harm Leo, who was a member of the royal family, or herself, who was a maid.

However, in the outside world, you never know when and how unexpected crises will come.

Every time that happened, I didn’t want to just watch from behind.

It was the reason she desperately clung to swordsmanship.

Fortunately, he had talent, so swordsmanship itself was fun.

I had a purpose and it suited my aptitude, so I was determined to die.

“Hmm. okay.”

“So that’s the point. Can I ask for guidance even after returning to the castle?”

Selisse asked with a desperate look in her eyes.

Drexla smiled calmly and nodded.

“That was the first thing I wanted to say. Teaching someone as talented as you is is something everyone is greedy for.”

“thank you!”

“It’s already too early to thank you. I am known for being strict even in the Royal Guard. It will be a much more difficult training than now, and whining about it at that time will be useless.”

“Yes! Sure! I hope so!”

Sellies replied in a voice full of determination, as if she would persevere.

Then he picked up his sword again.

After recovering a little bit of physical strength during the brief conversation, he will focus on training again.

‘Very nice.’

And Leo, who was in the carriage, watched that scene with a smile.

‘If I don’t want to be pushed by Celise, I’ll have to work hard too.’

* * *

Leo and the others returned to the royal castle.

“Hey Leo! What happened! You caught the warlock!”

“Lowering! Are you okay?”

“Oh yeah. You should have asked about that. As the Marquis said, are you feeling well?”

King Biden and the Marquis of Merverde captured Leo, who had come to report.

“I am fine, Father.”

Leo said, but the king didn’t even listen.

“I don’t know. I heard that some black magic has a curse that takes effect later.”

“That’s right, low. I called the priest of the church.”

“As expected, the marquis. You know my heart even if I don’t speak.”

The two chatted about this and that in front of Leo.

Leo sighed and stopped the two adults.

“I am really fine. If you ask Lord Drexla, who has traveled with you, he will know.”

It was only then that King Biden looked at Drexla, who was standing behind him.

“Come to think of it, Lord Drexla.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

“I heard that Kyung helped our Leo a lot this time. According to the news from the Marquis of Gessen, he was praised for being a great knight.”

“It is overrated. Majesty!”

Drexla bowed her head slightly.

“As the king, I have no choice but to reward a great knight like you. Marquis Merverde.”

“Here you are, low.”

It was the Marquis of Merverde, who handed a small box into the king’s hand.

He took it and handed it to Drexla.

“A magical medicine made from 50-year-old wild ginseng. I’m giving it to you to help Leo well in the future.”

Elixir!

Whether it’s a wizard or a knight, increasing the amount of mana is what everyone wants.

However, in reality, it was difficult to see it easily unless you were a royal family like Leo or the heir of a great noble family.

Drexla got down on one knee with a thrilled voice.

“I will offer my allegiance, Your Highness.”

“yes. I wish you well in the future as well as now.”

King Biden smiled.

And then, Leo intervened.

“Father, do you have only one elixir?”

“Well? no. Is there one more?”

“Then could you give one to my maid, Celise?”

“To the lady-in-waiting?”

The king asked as if this was a strange noise again.

Leo calmly explained.

What Celise risked her life to save herself.

And, unexpectedly, he showed great talent in swordsmanship, and so on.

“Hoo. I didn’t know there was such a child among the ladies-in-waiting.”

King Biden was happy and willingly handed out one more elixir.

He was not a person who would regret something like this for a lady-in-waiting who risked her life for her son.

“we are here. Give this to yourself, Leo.”

“Thank you, Father.”

Leo accepted the elixir and smiled.

‘I have to take care of my people.’

No matter how many talented subordinates there are, they are not enough.

I needed to push hard.

* * *

That evening, after Leo had an audience with the king.

“Can I really take this?”

“of course. Celise, you deserve it.”

When Leo gave him the elixir, Selise was beyond thrilled and looked like she was about to faint.

At first, she said it was better to give it to someone else than herself, but Leo forced her to hold it.

“I, low… . I will give all my allegiance.”

Sellies muttered as if she was trying to say something, but eventually said that she would pay her allegiance.

Leo chuckled.

“Didn’t you originally offer it?”

“I originally dedicated it, but… .”

“Know. The one who has always helped me since I was a kid is Celise. I didn’t say anything, but I’m grateful.”

“… … !”

Saying thanks from the royal family is hard to come by.

As the privileged class of the privileged class, they are accustomed to receiving all the time, and rarely express their gratitude.

Celise’s heart trembled mercilessly.

‘Well, to serve you is truly a blessing in my life!’

Leo added to that.

“And I, starting today, will start training. Did Celise hear what I got from Lyon Forest?”

Leo floated an orb of light on his palm.

“I have to practice dealing with this. I’m going to lock myself in my room for a while and practice, so I don’t need to bring anything other than mealtime.”

“Yes? But lower… .”

“Selize, I heard that you also decided to receive swordsmanship training from Drexla. Or are you going to make the elixir I gave you useless?”

“Oh, that can’t be!”

“right? So work hard. I will believe you.”

Leo tapped Celise on the shoulder.

From that day on, Leo, Celise, and Drexla began to devote themselves to training.

From dawn till late at night, Celise and Drexla lived in the gymnasium.

Both of them concentrated on training in order to receive the energy of the elixir as much as possible.

In order not to lose to them, Leo also started researching the Orb of Light.

One goal!

To rise to the 4th rank!

… But it wasn’t easy.

‘This is difficult. I thought I would get a clue to go up to the 4th rank if I had the Orb of Light.’

The wall still blocking the way was thick.

No matter how talented Leo is, the time he first encountered magic was too short.

There are some things that need to be built up through long experience.

It was that kind of thing he was facing now.

“Whoa… .”

Leo sighed at the situation that was not going well.

At that time, an uninvited guest visited Leo’s room.

“Hey-!”

high pitched voice.

The attitude of daring to call the royals ‘ya’.

There was only one person like this.

“Was it fun to play alone!”

Alice.

Leo’s one-year-old sister came to see me frantically.

“Ah, Sister Elise.”

Leo smiled and waved at her.

Alice walked towards Leo with a sigh.

“I heard you’ll buy me a present when you come!”

“ah… .”

Leo scratched his head.

Come to think of it, I had made such a promise when I tried to stop her from running away because I couldn’t get permission from the king.

‘this… I forgot.’

That’s also the case, I didn’t think of it because I was fighting a warlock and my whole mind was sold to the Orb of Light.

Seeing Leo’s troubled expression, Alice guessed that there was no present and puffed out her cheeks.

“As soon as I arrived, I shut myself in my room, didn’t come to see me, and didn’t have any presents! You liar!”

“ah… Ahahahaha. I’m sorry sister.”

“I’m sorry, everything?”

“I am really sorry. Instead, I’ll bring you an even better gift next time.”

Leo showed the motion of opening both hands wide.

“… Good things?”

Elise made a tempting expression.

Either way, a child is a child.

“yes! So just take a look.”

“… You really have to keep your promise this time.”

“Sure!”

Leo nodded, and Elise sighed.

“Eh. great. This good older sister took care of it. So I’ll let you join me on this adventure.”

“adventure?”

Leo put on a puzzled expression.

What kind of buzzing noise is this all of a sudden?

she said, giggling.

“When you went out this time, I also explored the palace with Kizan oppa.”

“yes?”

I’m surprised

I thought the two didn’t get along, but to be able to play together.

No, maybe it was because Leo had trained Kizan’s temper once, and he was now good to Elise.

“You will be surprised to hear it too.”

Elise said this cautiously with a look on her face.

“In the royal palace, I found the place where the ancestor’s legacy is! I was going to go with Kizan oppa sooner or later, but Leo will join you too!”

“… what?”

Leo’s eyes widened.
