How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Patrick was the son of a fallen aristocratic family.

The second son of a frontier baron family.

He was born in a place so poor that he could not even be introduced as a nobleman.

“I came to the capital to grow old and succeed somehow. However, due to the limitations of my talent, I could not become a knight or a wizard.”

said Patrick with a bitter expression.

Of course, there were many talented people around Leo, including himself, but that was a very special case.

The odds of ordinary people becoming knights or wizards with their talents were less than 1%.

“So I was doing whatever I could, but the first queen gave me a suggestion. I want you to serve as an attendant in charge of Prince Kizan.”

“Well… . Why to someone like you?”

Leo asked.

At first glance, it sounds like a silly question, but it’s actually natural.

Attendants and maids in charge of the royal family are positions where the royal family can benefit from their personal connections when they grow up.

Of course, it was extremely popular, so it was not a position that the fallen nobles could aim for.

“Wouldn’t you like to listen?”

Patrick answered as if it were simple.

Since there is no back ship, there is no choice but to give unconditional loyalty.

In fact, he helped to educate Kizan according to the taste of the first queen.

Most of the day, the queen received the instruction she wanted, including the mental education to become a king.

“And if I don’t listen later, it’s easy to put away.”

“… Has anyone ever been cleaned up like that before you?”

“I’m not sure, but all of the attendants in charge of lower Kizan who worked before me have gone missing.”

“… … .”

Leo shut up.

How serious is this?

“That’s how I acted as a watcher for the lower Kizan halfway under the command of Her Highness the 1st Queen.”

However, after serving him for nearly two years, I became very attached to him.

I felt I couldn’t let Kizan live like that any longer.

“It’s a presumptuous thing to say, but Kizan has been brighter and more cheerful since being with Leo. The bad luck is almost gone.”

“Then what was the last time you got slapped in the hallway?”

“As I said before, it was to protect me. I was thinking of admonishing Her Highness, the First Queen, not to oppress Kizan any longer.”

Patrick had a grim expression.

“Your Kizan hit me, telling me to stay still and not show up unless I wanted to die too. He probably knew that if I didn’t go that far, I would step out and he purposely made me stronger.”

Leo was quite surprised.

‘Certainly a lot has changed.’

I never thought Kizan, who is called the future tyrant, would even say such a thing.

I also felt proud inside.

The fact that Kizan is growing well despite not being able to take care of him because he only took care of Alice.

“Even if you don’t show it too much on the outside, Kizan and I quite liked being with Leo and Ellis.”

Patrick asked.

“I don’t want lower Kizan to go back to what it was before. So… Could you possibly help me?”

“Why are you asking me for that?”

“Honestly, there is no one who can help lower Kizan if it is not low level.”

Patrick sighed.

This was a family matter, and it was a mother’s job to educate her son.

It’s not even just education, it’s the queen educating the prince.

It would be difficult for even the king to intervene.

However, Patrick had some expectations.

‘If it’s Leo… Just in case.’

The person who has the most interest in the royal castle recently.

There are rumors that he saved the dukedom, and there are also rumors that he has already become a third-class wizard at this age.

Of course, there will be a lot of exaggeration, but it won’t be completely nonexistent.

At the very least, his talent was outstanding, and it was clear that he was so great that he even had a private meeting with the king several times.

‘And crucially, because Prince Kizan likes Prince Leo.’

With such faith, I asked Leo with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.

Leo nodded.

“yes. I’ll figure out how to help Kizan.”

succinct answer.

However, Patrick’s expression was thrilled.

I was so grateful for just those words.

It felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off of me.

He looked too big for a kid who was only 10 years old.

Leo was lost in thought.

‘Our Kizan. I have to grow and use it well, but I can never pass it on to someone else.’

The future of becoming the tyrant Kizan is an option.

next day.

“brother. Could I also take the class that hyung is taking today?”

“My tutoring?”

“yes.”

At Leo’s suggestion, Kizan’s lips twitched.

Although the distance is not very far, Kizan was bored with going to his mother’s house every time to take classes.

I wanted to make a proposal first, but to say this first.

However, Kizan did not accept it right away.

“Hmm. it can’t be original It’s a special guest from Uncle Andrew, just for me, so I can’t share it with anyone else.”

I just shrugged my shoulders and pretended to be worried.

Of course, fearing that Leo would withdraw, he quickly added his words.

“But Leo, since you are my younger brother, I will tell you something special. If I tell you, your mother and uncle will agree.”

Leo slightly turned his head to hide the corner of his mouth that was about to move.

Kizan’s obvious handiwork was so cute.

‘Kizan liked this.’

Come to think of it, most of them are Kizans who have not been able to express their presence as an older brother to Leo, so it seems that they like to brag like this.

Leo smiled lightly.

“After all, there is only one brother. Thanks bro.”

I need to say something like this

Kizan smiled broadly, then hurriedly managed his expression again.

However, the protruding shoulders did not go down.

“Hmm. Hmm. yes. So, you have to be good to your brother from now on.”

Parenting is very difficult.

* * *

The wizard who teaches Kizan is an acquaintance of Andrew LeGret, the younger brother of the first queen.

Andrew had brought him because he was a wizard he knew well, and he was particularly good at teaching.

Like the head of the Marquis Legret and the first queen.

As Andrew was the youngest of these, both were generous with their younger siblings.

Since Andrew usually took good care of Kizan, they trusted him to introduce him to Kizan’s private tutor.

Kizan went to find Andrew himself at Leo’s request, and Andrew accepted Leo’s class with him, although he looked embarrassed.

In fact, unless there is a problem, it is difficult to refuse the request of the royal family.

That’s how 2 to 1 tutoring was done.

The tutor was a fat man in his late thirties, a 4th-class ‘Prism-level’ mage.

My name is Doodle.

‘Hmm.’

Leo stared at Doodle as he lectured on magic.

“Kuhm.”

Doodle, who had been talking for a while, looked at Leo and smiled.

“Did you put anything on my face? hahahaha. It’s embarrassing to see you keep staring at me.”

“No. There was nothing on the outside.”

Leo shrugged.

yes. It was not buried on the outside.

There was just something dark inside.

‘It was a black magician.’

4th class mage doodle.

According to the story that Andrew introduced and informed, he was a master of wind magic.

However, in Leo’s eyes, he could clearly see the dark magic power pooled in his danjeon.

It was so stable and well hidden that even the most sensible wizard couldn’t feel it, but Leo was an ordinary wizard.

In addition to having the world’s strongest talent, thanks to the characteristics, he was able to see mana directly.

‘Kizan’s tutor was a warlock… .’

This made it clear.

First of all, it was clear that Andrew Legret was related to the Cassane Guild.

Leo wondered what to do with this guy.

Right now, Leo was also a 4th-class mage, so he was confident that he would win if they were to face each other, but it was a bad idea to solve it that way.

This guy wouldn’t be the body of this job, so I had to finish it one after another, like stringing Vienna sausages.

Meanwhile, Doodle was swearing to the fullest.

‘He looks like he wants to rip his eyes out.’

Leo, who was staring at him with shiny silver eyes, couldn’t be so annoyed.

Teaching a little kid named Kizan was also annoying, but there was another one involved.

‘A third-class wizard at that age? It’s really terribly absurd.’

Since his magic control ability is the best at his level, Leo intentionally hid his status.

At the level of the Marquis of Merverd, no matter how hard he tried, he would be able to see through it, but it was not an easy task to deceive a mage of the same rank.

That’s why Doodle mistook Leo for a 3rd class, and seeing him reach that level at that age, he was exploding with jealousy.

Even having to be polite made me even more annoyed.

“Hmm. Then we will begin the lecture.”

However, Doodle started class with a friendly smile.

Opponent is royalty.

He wasn’t the kind of person he could do anything about if he didn’t like it.

Leo nodded.

“Yeah.”

“… … .”

Even the chin gestures made Doodle feel annoyed.

* * *

Doodle was testing his patience every day these days.

“Ah!You damn bastard!”

Doodle hit the table in his room.

A few days had passed since he first met Leo.

In the meantime, Leo followed Kizan every day and took his lessons.

Then, moment by moment, he turned his clothes inside out.

-Today’s method of using mana is a way to make casting a little faster…

Doodle was confident in teaching.

Even though he was a warlock and said he was at the level of the 4th class, he thought that the quality of skill excellence and knowledge transmission were slightly different.

And I thought I was pretty talented at educating someone.

Until I met Leo.

-uh. isn’t that it?

-Yes?

-According to Euclid’s magic acceptance law, it’s faster and more effective to do it this way. have a look

-… … .

Leo demonstrated a more effective method than he did in front of doodles.

There was a difference in level that even a non-magical layman could notice at a glance.

so-called pick-up.

And this same counting cycle was repeated throughout the class time and time again.

“I have to be patient… . damn it You have to persevere for the sake of… .”

Even if that little boy wasn’t royalty, he’d be thrown away as a sacrifice to the devil right away!

Because of this, it was difficult for Doodle to smile during class these days.

Rather, whenever he said something, he was busy watching Leo’s eyes.

Wouldn’t this be different?

Don’t you think I’m wrong here too?

As a result, my hair was falling out because of the stress. Doodle frowned as he brushed his hair off the table.

It would be a big deal if he even lost Kizan’s trust.

It was because he was a private tutor in Kizan, and later had to approach the first queen.

Fortunately, Kizan was always smiling as if he liked this tutoring time with Leo.

‘Eww. I have to get rid of him somehow… , please take only once.’

Anger flashed in Doodle’s eyes.

* * *

A few days have passed since Leo took tutoring with Kizan.

It was fun going back and forth and being together, so despite the pressure from her mother, Kizan has a smile on her face these days.

Leo, in particular, told me a lot of interesting stories, probably because he had been to the dukedom.

Stories of moving with soldiers, stories of hunting monsters, and so on.

Kizan was excited at the thought of listening to Leo’s story as they rode the carriage together after tutoring today.

But… .

“Hyung, I have work to do today, so go home first. See you later.”

“ah… , yes? Can’t I come too?”

“Nope. Because it’s my personal business.”

“… Okay.”

Kizan’s face was slightly hurt by Leo’s refusal, but he nodded and left first.

His expression was full of regret, but Leo was determined.

I couldn’t help it today.

After sending Kizan away, Leo looked at the escort, Drexla.

“Drexla. I’ll get into the carriage for a while and think about something, so wait outside and come back after a while.”

“… Okay. Lowering.”

It was an order Drexla would not understand, but she didn’t ask.

It wasn’t that he was going somewhere first, or that he was alone in the carriage, so it wasn’t a hindrance to his escort, so he quietly nodded.

Now, no matter what Leo did, he seemed to be willing to do it.

After Leo got into the carriage, he created a shield around the carriage with Mana.

Now, even Drexla can’t figure out what’s going on.

After that, Leo murmured softly.

“come out.”

It was a voice that no one seemed to hear, but there was a response.

The shadow wriggled, and a person popped out of it.

The pale-skinned man saw Leo and knelt down to greet him.

“Meet the master.”

Vampire Dio.

She was once Charpeng’s subordinate, but was Leo’s slave who was captured by Leo and made a contract with black magic.
