How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Chapter 46

Duke Ryant went to his office with Leo.

Everyone else went out and the two of them were alone.

“… … .”

Duke Ryant looked at Leo in silence for a while.

Ever since I saw the monster corpses earlier, I had been thinking about something like this.

Leo, too, looked at him with a subtle smile, not avoiding his eyes.

“Whoa… .”

In the end, it was Duke Lyant who spoke first.

he said with a sigh.

“Leo low. I apologize.”

“What are you apologizing for, Duke?”

“I mean, I ignored it because I only saw that Leo was young.”

Hearing that, Leo looked at him with a surprised face.

‘Do you admit this?’

The reason Leo went out and killed the monsters this time was not only to find traces of Charpeng, but also to show it to the Duke of Lyant.

He said that he was not just an immature little prince, but a skilled wizard.

The fact that they brought the corpses of the monsters to the commander was also meant to look at them and find out.

But I didn’t expect to admit it so easily.

Duke Lyant is over 60 years old.

Usually, at that age, people don’t admit their faults at all.

Is he even a normal person?

He is the great lord of the west who is said to be the best knight in the kingdom.

Even if such a person is a prince, to apologize to Leo, who is only 10 years old.

“I accept the Duke’s apology. And I apologize too. Since I acted on my own without an order from the commander, the duke, I will gladly accept any punishment.”

Leo also lightly bowed his head.

Seeing this, a light of admiration passed through Duke Lyant’s eyes.

“hahahaha… . no, lower. I made a mistake, so it’s like each other made a mistake. So how about going smoothly?”

“I just want to thank the Duke for his generosity.”

Leo and Duke Lyant exchanged good wishes.

If it went wrong, it could have been a fight between the prince and the duke, but it ended warmly with a series of happenings.

“Starting tomorrow, we will assign missions that match your skills. Are you okay?”

“I wish you all the best. I’m not here to play.”

“It is trustworthy. I understand, low.”

After talking with Leo.

Duke Ryant thought as he walked to the command and control room.

‘Hmm. indeed. Wasn’t it rumored that he was a genius?’

He knew he was being ignored, but he showed his skills without openly rebelling.

The boldness of going out of the territory at night and eliminating the monsters.

Even the appearance of respecting the authority of the duke without showing off even though he made a contribution to it.

‘I thought he was a spoiled brat… . It was a baby dragon.’

Duke Lyant acknowledged.

That he had looked at Prince Leo with useless prejudices.

Even if the peacock was a prince, he was against the idea of growing it as a flower in a greenhouse.

Didn’t he even grow up with the cold wind from the west?

It’s enough to make a mistake because you don’t recognize people.

“You have to roll it if you want.”

It won’t be like that from now on.

Duke Lyant grinned.

Then we went into the command and control room.

“How is the situation?”

“Are you here, my dear?”

“That’s because you don’t have to be too polite every time you see him.”

When his adjutant, Earl Barton, greeted him, Duke Lyant waved his hand and sat down.

“Did your conversation with poor Leo go well? Maybe I can’t overcome the duke’s temper again… .”

Earl Barton asked with a worried face, and Duke Riant raised his hand to cut off his words.

“Ahh. I know what you were worried about, but fortunately that didn’t happen.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Prince Leo is a bigger person than I thought. I saw you again.”

“… … !”

Earl Barton was genuinely surprised.

‘The word great came out of the mouth of the duke?’

Duke Ryant is called the best knight in the kingdom.

He was the great shield of the west and a great lord of all kinds of achievements.

Because of that, he did not praise others in any way.

It was because the snow was so high.

To the point of saying that Duke Lyant is amazing.

It was Earl Barton who was curious about how long Prince Leo had been talking like that.

“So, I wanted to know more. What are the limits of that prince?”

Duke Lyant laughed.

It was a mischievous smile.

Count Barton smiled bitterly.

‘You’re here again. That bad habit of wanting to harass talented people.’

Personally, I told him not to do that many times, but he didn’t even listen.

He himself had been bullied in such a way before, so he knew better than anyone else.

said the Duke of Ryant.

“From tomorrow, Prince Leo will belong to the reconnaissance support unit. Go around the front and tell them to hit and run.”

“… Peacock degradation. No matter what, Leo is a prince. Putting them in such a tough unit is a bit… .”

front support troops.

A reconnaissance unit is a unit that, after first scouting the surrounding area, dispatches troops to areas where it feels necessary.

Due to that nature, it was the forward support unit that was constantly moving.

Of course, it was the unit that all soldiers did not want to go to, and it was proudly ranked first.

To put a prince in such a place… .

“If you want to do it, do it. Or Count Barton, would you like to go?”

“… I will follow your orders.”

The soldier had to be black.

You can’t go there at this age.

It was Earl Barton who said he was sorry to Prince Leo in his heart.

* * *

A week passed.

Leo prided himself on being busier than anyone else.

“That inspiration. You said you were pampering me, but you really intend to pamper me properly.”

Leo grumbled.

There was a response from the side.

“Go and kick the duke’s butt.”

“you’re right. Who else will speak for us if not you, Leo.”

Those giggling and arguing were members of the same support unit.

At first, it was difficult because it was low and low, but after about a week of sharing the joys and sorrows, we became very close.

“Shut up, you kids. It’s really hard, but don’t talk to me.”

Leo said, clutching his forehead on top of the horse.

Being a Leo with a chronic lack of stamina, the most difficult thing while living in the unit was moving, not anything else.

Rather, there was nothing special about standing still and casting magic during battle, but it was difficult to ride a horse when going back and forth.

“Ha ha ha. My eyes go wide with my magic skills, but should I use it only because of my stamina?”

“You have to exercise from now on. Otherwise, after you get married, it will be simple.”

“Puhahahahaha.”

Leo grumbled.

“Damn them. You have to go to prison for insulting the royal family to come to your senses.”

Of course, it was just words, and Leo wasn’t really saying it either.

The reason they are able to do this is because over the past week, they have become a lot closer than they thought.

At first, the soldiers felt awkward because a child like Leo had come here.

However, the moment he experienced Leo’s abilities while working together on the battlefield, he recognized his greatness right away.

Now they were melting together, fully recognizing them as their superiors.

“Lowering!”

At that moment, a report came in.

“A group of 50 orcs 1km ahead… Two ogres have also been confirmed!”

Mouths that had been chattering at the words of the scout closed all at once.

Troop members looking forward with their eyes suddenly changed.

Leo also got up and stretched out his hand.

“All frozen!”

The spear of ice created from Leo’s palm was fired toward the sky.

The window that went up that high fell naturally under the influence of gravity.

The direction is exactly above the monsters’ heads.

-bang! bang! bang! bang!

The spear blade pierced and tore through the monsters.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a physical attack, the spear even froze the land around it.

Even the air became cold rapidly, and the monsters’ actions became sluggish.

“nice. I’m surprised every time I see Leo’s magic.”

“To think that he’s the same height as my family’s son and shows such power.”

It’s been a week since I’ve seen it, but I still get admiration every time I see it.

It is the front support unit that even the royal family subtly ignores because they live a rough life.

However, Leo’s magic was excellent enough to bewitch them at once.

“What are you blankly doing? Don’t bother me and leave quickly!”

Sellies gave the soldiers a harsh word and ran out.

Seeing her run away with her blonde hair blowing like the wind, the unit members quickly gathered their spirits and ran.

– aaa!

– Kyaaa!

I was attacked first, but a monster is a monster.

The ogres and orcs revealed their malevolence even though they were full of scars.

In particular, the ogre’s livelihood is enough to make even the average veteran’s feet stiff.

However, Selize and other members of the unit ran out without fear.

[Freezing Structural Formula – Great Sword Fall]

– Damn it!

– Quaang!

A huge sword fell from the sky and struck the two ogres in the lead.

-aaa… !

Their mighty bodies were mortally wounded and their bodies froze.

Gaps are visible everywhere.

It wasn’t the support corps members who would leave this alone.

“You did something!”

“run! Drive! Are you going to entrust everything to me, idiots!”

“It’s only been a week since I came to our unit! What are you going to do after being pushed by the rookie!”

– Kwajik!

-Suddenly!

– Kwaaang!

The unit members attacked the monsters with high morale.

The one that stood out the most was Celise.

-Suddenly!

– Kyaaa!

-Chack!

– aaa!

Even as her long blonde hair was stained with blood, the orcs in her path were dying prickly.

The appearance of a heroine who is active more courageously than anyone else!

“aaa-! let’s go!”

“Kill them all!”

The corps members became even more uplifted and followed suit.

* * *

A month has passed.

“I can’t believe it.”

Earl Barton checked the reports several times in disbelief as he compiled the reports that came in today.

However, no matter how many times I looked at it, the result did not change.

[Monthly Troop Highest Achievement – Leo Asian Rom Karst]

Prince Leo’s name was included in the list of the best veterans of the month evaluated by military units every month.

It’s not just because they’re royalty.

This achievement was made by the Duke of Lyant, and it was for the reason that low-ranking soldiers and knights who risked their lives fighting on the frontlines would not be alienated from their majors.

Because of this, no commander-level aristocrats have ever been listed here.

No matter how good the command was, it was the soldiers and knights who killed the monsters.

‘It’s common for knights who have been dispatched a lot to have meritorious soldiers… .’

This time, there was the name of Prince Leo.

Earl Barton couldn’t believe it, but he was convinced.

“but. For the past time, the reputation of low rank Leo has been resonating among the soldiers.”

Leo wasn’t just in one unit.

The first week to the front support unit.

The next week to the scouting party, and the week after that to the knights.

In this way, only difficult and dangerous units went around.

However, he showed great performance every time he went.

The best beings on the battlefield are the best comrades.
