I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

5. Well, you misunderstood the person

1.

An unexpected visit to Princess Elena’s estate. Even if the purpose is probably to come to see me, if the cause is to inspect the estate of the lord with whom the vassal contract was made as an imperial family, then the lord has no choice but to fall on fire.

It’s a well-spoken inspection, but you can’t recklessly invade the rights of the lords who are gods and are close to invincibility in your own territory.

Anyway, having a high-ranking person come to the scene, as in the past and now, is something that makes many people under him tired.

“Time is already like this…”

There was a scene where the living room was hastily renovated into a banquet hall instead of a small dining room, and at the scene, her mother led the way and was nervous.

I didn’t have to lift a hand, but I was looking around in a wedding suit I couldn’t remember the last time I wore it.

My role is just a face madam anyway, and my mother and father will take care of things like entertainment for the royal family.

It was the mindset of a filial son with fire attributes, but wouldn’t that be a bigger problem if I, who don’t know anything, put my hands on it and twist it? In the yard where you don’t know when the inspection team will come.

Coming to think of it, this is all thanks to the lesson I learned firsthand that in the military, when superiors yell at each other, practitioners get tired.

Just amazing! K-army!

“Rudrick, the princess said that Her Highness would come by a moving magic circle… Then where are you coming from?”

“Well. There is no such thing as a fixed magic circle in our territory, so maybe the magician over there will take a rough coordinate and open a one-way magic circle temporarily?”

Her mother asked nervously while she was lost in thought.

It is said that it is thanks to the tearful fact that the only wizard in the territory is the lord’s son, but now the highest authority on magic in the county of Weiss is none other than me.

As soon as I answered what I knew, my mother’s gaze moved impatiently out the window, and mine followed suit. The scenery of the manor seen through the window of the mansion is truly a typical medieval rural landscape itself.

In the corner of the manor, there is a mill that grinds the wheat produced in the manor, and there is no such thing as a big road, so it is a quiet scene where dozens of houses are huddled together.

And soon, a light flashed through the scenery.

“Oh, I’m here.”

“Oops!”

Amidst the dazzling flashes of light, I could feel enough mana flow. Fluctuating mana is undoubtedly a precursor to magical manifestations.

Seeing how the teleport was deployed on a large scale, it was only for a moment that I felt sympathy as a business partner, wondering how many wizards belonging to the imperial family had been replaced. Her mother stormed out of the mansion with a stunned look on her face.

It is a royal family inspection group that includes the 2nd princess, and the number of people to greet is the owner of the estate, Count Arlene Weiss and his son. And a few poorly armed escorts.

I, who belonged to that small group of people, followed her mother and headed towards the place where the light flashed with a leisurely pace.

The villagers come out and scatter improvised flowers, but the number is small, so it’s rather an ugly scene.

“……Rudrick, does the original teleportation magic take this long?”

“Normally, there are cases where the coordinates are reversed to prevent the opponent from using teleport magic, but this time it’s not like that. This time, it’s simply because there are a lot of people. There’s no magic circle installed in our territory.”

“……Hmm. I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous when your grandmother scolded me.”

The tension was tight.

From the mother’s point of view, it was literally an eternity of time, and finally the flashing light faded and dozens of dolls appeared in the light.

“Is this the Earl of Weiss?”

“There is no doubt, Her Highness the Princess.”

What appeared in the midst of the twinkling flashes was a woman wearing a luxurious robe of unknown material, and knights, wizards, and ladies-in-waiting who bowed their heads as if they were serving the woman.

Her flowing blonde hair fell long enough to reach her waist. In contrast, she has ruby-red eyes and a philosophical expression as if she is not interested in everything in the world.

And the woman’s eyes turned to her mother.

“Is the wonder Count Weiss?”

His graceful voice was natural. It’s like she’s been like that ever since she was born.

As I was watching her, she was advertising with her whole body that she was a low status to the point of being intimidated by the atmosphere.

Princess Elena.

As the 2nd princess of the Ezeland Empire, in the newspaper article I read, it was written that she defeated all the prominent competitors in a tournament held in the capital and won the championship.

“Meet Your Highness, the 2nd Princess. This is the vice I informed you of.”

“I see. Raise your head.”

“……Yes.”

Since it was the appearance of the imperial family, I bowed my head as well, but when I looked at her from the side of her eye, her mother had a visibly nervous expression.

She is a little different from her usual self, who is always full of leisure except when she is caught by her father.

“You seem very nervous. Do you know the Lord? Neither you nor my sister, what power do I have to go around inspecting a county’s family?”

“That, that’s not it…”

“Think of it as just a few days of sightseeing. You can relax as usual.”

“……Yes, Your Highness.”

Princess Elena seemed to be using a rather straightforward way of speaking. Princess Elena, who greatly embarrassed her mother with her few words, looked at me next.

The thing to come has come.

Still, since her name is royalty, I couldn’t hold her head high and look her in the eyes, so I lowered her head, but I felt Princess Elena’s gaze linger on my head for a while.

And before long.

“Then let’s head to the sir’s mansion. We can’t stand here all the time.”

“……I’ll see you.”

Princess Elena turned her head towards her mansion as if she was used to it.

Do you have any memories of coming before the return?

For a moment, they wondered, but all the personnel who guarded Princess Elena, including her mother, began to move together. And what was left was me and the locals in the manor who were called out to me and sloppily guarding their seats.

Yes, I have to clean up after myself.

“Since Her Highness is gone, it’s okay for everyone to go in. I’m sorry for calling you while I’m resting.”

Leaving an apology, not an apology, to the dozens of pairs of eyes that were looking at me with only their eyes rolling back and forth, I hurriedly followed.

2.

It was fortunate for Count Weiss that the construction work of renovating the living room into a banquet hall was completed during the short time he waited for the arrival of the princess.

Even though it looks like it was made hastily, so it’s somewhat clumsy and sloppy.

The princess told her to think of it as simply sightseeing, she said that she shouldn’t be nervous and just be comfortable as usual, but she didn’t care about that.

‘If you really think so, you shouldn’t have come in the first place…….’

It was not unreasonable that Count Weiss, who was sitting next to the princess and sipping a teacup with her nervous expression on her face, inadvertently thought of such a disrespectful thought.

And the princess drank her tea, showing off her elegant grace, whether she knew the inside of Count Weiss, who was burning.

“It’s not as good as the one I drank at the palace, but it still smells pretty good. Is it herbal tea?”

“……Yes, that’s right. As you know, the living conditions in our estate aren’t that great, so we couldn’t prepare anything better.”

“I knew it, so it doesn’t matter.”

Earl Weiss nodded in a situation where it was difficult to tell whether the needlessly attached sagittarius was a rebuke or a compliment. And he glanced nervously at his kitchen.

The chef was desperate to prepare a banquet for the imperial family, rather than the simple meal he usually ate.

The princess, who suffered so many people, didn’t know if she knew it or not. She looked around and then she opened her mouth in a calm voice.

“Then Lord seems to be wondering why I’m here, so I guess I’ll tell you.”

“Oh, no… How dare I question the actions of Her Highness, the Princess?”

“Whoops. Don’t say anything you don’t mean to say. Of course, as I said before, it’s easier to think of it as a simple tour.”

“……Are you talking about sightseeing?”

“Yes.”

The princess put down the teacup and nodded her head.

“It’s just that Lord’s estate was chosen far from the capital.”

“Is that so…”

Having learned the shocking truth, Earl Weiss answered with a trembling voice. Right after he received the official letter, he went through such hardships, but it was just a whim of the imperial family.

As her resentment toward the princess grew in Count Weiss’s heart little by little, the princess prepared her carrot next to her whip as she was accustomed to.

“And I know you have two daughters and a son.”

“……Ah, yes. That’s right. I have two daughters who have moved to Seoul and are attending an academy, and I have an elderly son.”

“I am acquainted with Kyung’s eldest daughter.”

“Is that so?”

At the words of the princess, Count Weiss’ eyes widened.

A few days ago, I read an article in the newspaper that her eldest daughter had won the entire second place at the academy. She knew that her eldest daughter’s abilities were superior to her own, but she could never have known her second princess.

“Serilla always puts compliments on her lips. My sister is so talented with magic.”

“Huh…”

As if he finally understood why the princess had come to his estate, Count Weiss briefly exclaimed.

Everyone in the Empire knows that Princess Elena is ambitious. She naturally had a great desire for her talent. She also took her eldest daughter, who took second place in her academy, as her subordinate, and on the recommendation of her eldest daughter, even subdued her son, who has the qualities of a wizard.

It’s not that Count Weiss has no political sense at all, but a picture was easily drawn in his head.

And then I realized.

He himself lived without knowing how great his son’s talent was due to his limited knowledge, but he realized that it could be seen as not so in the eyes of others.

“And since I came here today, I can see that Serilla’s words are not lies. Don’t you?”

The princess’ gaze turned to Rudrick, who was keeping her silence.

And Rudrick, who received the princess’ gaze, smiled awkwardly instead of answering, and this time, the princess’s gaze returned to the wizard among the knights and wizards standing behind her back.

“How does a court wizard look? Is that boy really good at magic?”

“There is no doubt.”

The woman called the Court Wizard bowed her head and replied.

“I have already reached a much more desperate stage than the idiots of the Mage Tower just by studying on my own without a teacher to guide me.

“I see.”

After hearing the court mage’s affirmation, Princess Elena nodded her head. And this time, her gaze returned to Rudrick.

“The court mage is like that. What do you think?”

And after receiving the princess’ gaze, Rudrick remained silent. Although he was hesitating, not finding the words to answer, more precisely, what to say.

Rudrick muttered to himself.

‘Is this going to turn out like this?’
