“Um… .”

“Kuhm… .”

Rom Kingdom Monthly Meeting Day.

There was an uncomfortable silence in the conference room where the king and other nobles were gathered.

The reason was simple.

At the request of the Empire, troops had to be dispatched to the Hydra Pond, but it was difficult to determine the scale.

“The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army has been appointed Earl of Guillotine.”

“As for the Earl of Guillotine… , You’re a 6th-class mage.”

“Yes. In addition, it was decided to dispatch additional troops, including three 5th-class mages and five graduate-class knights.”

“It’s an excessive force.”

It was a pretty big decision, as the Empire’s borders were not limited to vampire territories.

Whether they like it or not, the Kingdom of Rome had to show sincerity as well, given that the Empire had received and ate a lot.

I couldn’t just show condescension, and at least I had to show that I tried.

So I’m thinking about losing my hair, but I haven’t come up with a clear direction.

In the end, it was King Biden who set the frame.

“We can’t send a lot of advanced classes. In the first place, it is different from the Empire and the weight class. So, let’s fill in a lot of numbers to an appropriate level and send them.”

Even in the kingdom, there is a 6th-class wizard, Marquis Merverd.

He was known to be of a higher standard than the Marquis of Guillotine.

However, since he is the highest power in the kingdom, the royal castle cannot be emptied.

What would he do if something big happened while Marquis Merverd was gone?

Like the Royal Knights, who were only in charge of escorting the king among the knights of the royal castle, it was a force that could never be diverted to the outside world.

“You are right, Your Highness! I hope you do as you please!”

“I am in awe of Your Highness’ wisdom.”

The nobles smiled slightly at the word that they would not send advanced classes.

It was because he didn’t have to borrow the strong people under his command.

Just one problem… .

“Who do you want to be in charge?”

The person in charge must be at least a 5th-class wizard or a sword graduate-class knight.

It has to be that much to stand up.

“… … .”

“… greatness.”

The nobles looked at each other again.

Since the mission is a mission and the area is dangerous, there may be a loss of troops.

In such a situation, if a war breaks out after supporting high-quality manpower, the loss is not insignificant.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Quite a few aristocratic families right now couldn’t have a powerful person like that, and even high-ranking nobles at the level of a marquis or higher could suffer a big blow to their family if they lost someone with that level of ability under their command.

Of course, if you go through the troop deployment successfully, your position and honor will grow even more… .

It was troubling in many ways.

The king was well aware of that fact, so he understood the nobles’ difficulties.

He noticed the moderator.

The moderator nodded and naturally changed the topic.

“The Empire sent a sample of Hydra Poison Extract. In addition, we have enclosed several plant specimens and elixirs that are native to the island as gifts.”

He placed 10 small glass bottles and other items on the table.

Inside the well-sealed glass bottle, there was a small amount of black venom.

“The alchemists will be happy if you send them.”

“It will be able to take the technology of making poisons or detoxifying potions to the next level.”

Some nobles who had an alchemist were delighted.

This is a gift from the Empire.

Dokji’s venom samples could be of great help if studied well.

Even after that, the meeting continued for a long time.

The conclusion was not easily reached.

It was a time when both the king and nobles were exhausted.

“L-Lord Leo wants to enter the monthly meeting.”

“… … ?”

The doorkeeper’s embarrassed voice was heard from outside.

The nobles, including King Biden, felt a sense of déjà vu.

As if I’ve been through this before… .

– Knocked up.

The door to the meeting room opened, and Prince Leo appeared.

The nobles murmured slightly in surprise.

“What!? Is that Prince Leo’s low?”

“no… , When did you grow up like that?”

In the past few months, he has grown rapidly and is close to 170, and his appearance has become even brighter.

To those who remembered Leo as a child, his current appearance was quite surprising.

Leo stepped into the conference hall with imposing steps and bowed respectfully toward the king.

“Majesty. I am sincerely sorry for coming in during the meeting in a rude manner.”

“… What are you doing, Leo?”

King Biden looked at Leo with a puzzled expression.

It’s like, why did this troublemaker come here? It was a feeling.

* * *

Leo turned his head and looked at the nobles around him.

‘Looking at the atmosphere, it seems that something hasn’t been decided yet.’

Perhaps the exact size of the dispatch had not been decided, and the nobles looked tired.

In this situation, Leo’s opinion could have worked better.

“Majesty. I heard that there will be military support to the Empire this time.”

“… By the way?”

“I can’t stand to see the threatening behavior of wicked vampires. I want to go there too.”

“It is impossible.”

King Biden answered without a second’s hesitation.

“Why?”

“This is not where you are going.”

“I am a mage.”

“… … .”

However, Leo’s words left him speechless.

4th class mage.

Since the general manager of troop support was decided to be a 5th class mage or a graduate, the 4th class was just below that level.

“But you are still young… .”

“Also, I have even received a medal from the Duchy of Ryant. Please evaluate me not just by age, but by ability, Your Highness.”

King Biden clenched his fist at the sight of Leo speaking clearly without losing a word.

Normally, I couldn’t look that sharp and cute, but now I wanted to hit him.

The nobles whispered.

“What did you just say? mage? Is that true?”

“I bet he wouldn’t tell lies in the conference room where His Highness the King is also… .”

“Huh… , You must be only 11 years old, right? But a 4th class mage. What a surprise.”

“Isn’t it really the incarnation of the Great King of Karst?”

Leo’s genius had been rumored for a long time, but the level of detail was kept secret by the king, so most people didn’t know about it.

That was clearly revealed this time, and it was very surprising.

“If you’re a 4th class mage, you deserve enough to go on this campaign.”

“His Highness must be in trouble.”

King Biden is not a tyrant.

He wasn’t forced to blindly follow his words.

He used logic to make sense and subdued his opponent, but now that logic was being pushed back by Leo.

Leo nailed it there.

“And there is one more reason why I must go to the Hydra Pond.”

Leo strode over and grabbed one of the vials of poison lying on the boardroom table.

Then he bit off, gulped, and swallowed it.

“Hey Leo!”

“Ah, no degradation!”

“Priests! Where is the priest! Healing is needed!”

King Biden and other nobles jumped up from their seats.

However, he soon put on a puzzled expression.

Because Leo was so fine.

“uh… ?”

“what… ?”

Leo shrugged.

“As you can see, I am immune to quite a few poisons.”

“No how… .”

“I can’t tell you the details because it’s a wizard’s secret.”

Leo bowed his head.

Since a magician’s secret cannot be revealed carelessly, the king calmed his startled heart and sat down.

He slightly closed his eyes.

“… No matter what I say, I won’t be able to stop you. Wouldn’t you like to run away from home like in the past?”

“… … .”

Leo couldn’t answer.

Because that was true.

There is a time for anything, but now was the time to increase inner proficiency through powerful experience rather than training.

“i get it. do it.”

King Baiden sighed and nodded.

* * *

With Leo’s participation, the dispatch of troops took place quickly.

The general manager of the reinforcements was appointed Sword Graduate, someone Leo knew well.

“Sir Hanson?”

“Lowering. I’ll see you again like this.”

“Kyung is the general manager this time?”

“It happened.”

Hanson.

At one time, he was the deputy leader of the Royal Castle Knights, and now he was in charge of the close escort of the 1st queen.

As the limb of the first queen, he was such a great knight that he was once recommended to the Royal Guard.

The fact that he became the commander of the reinforcements this time was because the first queen was especially generous.

He probably sent it for him after hearing that Leo was leaving.

‘I should be grateful to my mother.’

Leo, a 4th-class mage, is the deputy commander of the reinforcements.

However, since the commander, Hanson, had a history of being saved by Leo, the entire reinforcements had to be seen as being led by Leo.

Things were very good.

“Before the ceremony, I’m going to look at the reinforcements first. Would you like to go with me, my lord?”

“Can I come too?”

“of course. Aren’t you the second-in-command?”

Hanson smiled.

Since Hanson had a very high affinity for Leo after defeating Mtileth, he tried to make every possible convenience possible.

“Please. I will be polite enough in front of others.”

“Is it possible? I really appreciate you, my dear.”

The two of them went to the place where the troops were gathering.

Naturally, the scene soon erupted into chaos.

“Cha, attention! Salute the Commander!”

“You fools! Is that the only food I can eat?”

“Did you guys ever learn that? What the hell have you been learning?”

The commander and deputy commander appeared at the same time.

From the point of view of the soldiers and officers, it was to the point of confusion.

In the meantime, Leo smiled slightly as he saw the constant craving.

‘The feeling of being in the army is similar whether it’s on Earth or here.’

It’s like that.

“Why are you smiling?”

“ah. It just made me laugh because the level of our soldiers looked great.”

“but. That’s right. Even though there are a lot of students who have just graduated from the academy, they say that the average level is high.”

“Academy graduate?”

“Yes. There were a lot of people who volunteered because this was a great opportunity to build their careers if they did well.”

At the word academy, Leo made an interesting expression.

Wasn’t it just a few months ago?

I looked at people’s faces a little more closely to see if there were any familiar faces.

And to my surprise, there was a familiar face.

‘… I never thought I’d see him again.’

Leo smiled and stood in front of a man in a wizard’s battle suit.

“Johann Borden.”

“… Did you call me, poor!”

John closed his eyes as if he had just been caught and replied.

“Who is the lower? I came here as a second-in-command, not royalty.”

“I’m sorry, Vice Commander!”

“hey. Who is John’s boss?”

When Leo asked, one of the wizards next to him carefully raised his hand.

“That’s me! My name is Gibson, a third-class wizard!”

“Yes Gibson. I guess you have to manage your successor properly. You can’t even call your boss right. Even if you just graduated from the academy, do you make mistakes like this?”

“sorry!”

“If you’re sorry, you shouldn’t do anything to be sorry. Isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

Leo patted Gibson on the shoulder.

John’s expression, who was watching from the side, turned white.

Leo smiled lightly.

“As for the state of Johan Bordin’s education, you are to report to me in person every day before dinner. Got it?”

“Okay, Deputy Commander!”

Leo smiled lightly.

‘At that time, I thought it was a pity that I could only lose once, but it turned out well. As much as I bullied Sonia, I will always be punished.’

It was the moment when dark clouds were gathering over John’s future.
