Chapter 28: The Knight Commander's Son is Amazed by His Highness

"Good work Arth. It was an overwhelming victory after all."

Rinse said that with a wry smile. I waved my hand at it and said with a sigh.

"It would have been nice if it looked like an overwhelming victory, but it was troublesome."

"Is that so? At least if I was beaten like that with my bare hands, it would probably make me mentally normal."

"I didn't do anything other than grabbing his chest, right?"

The prince's movements were better than I thought, so it was troublesome, but it might have been good that I didn't get hurt too much. After all, when I take it easy from now on, I'll do it with my bare hands. Well, he never underestimated his opponent, but Mr. Arth's physical ability is too special. It's not surprising that his physical ability is so high that his thoughts become muscles of his brain. I wonder how bad it would be if I used physical enhancement with this... Well, I guess I'll have to keep my guard up and train to figure out my own strength.

"Rinse, are you good at swordsmanship?"

"I don't know what you mean by that question, but it's clean."

"Is that so... I guess I have to fight my father once."

"Are you serious?"

"If I don't do it with a higher rank, I won't know my ability."

The only person I know who seems to be of a higher rank is my father. Yes, it's about the level of my father, who is the leader of the Knights of this country, but if his son has this spec, I'm worried about how out of standard his father is. I'm confident that I wouldn't be surprised by an unreasonable cheat like the protagonist of a light novel... but if it goes that far, it's bad, so if possible, I'd like it to be as close to a human level as possible.

"Raised... there aren't many that are higher than the current Arth. It's true that if you're a knight commander, there's a possibility that he's higher than you, but I think you're much stronger now than before."

"Is that so?"

"How can I put it, I was quite surprised by your strength after getting engaged to Miss Misty.

Hmm... even if I don't, am I getting the benefits of reincarnation? I can understand if you were originally strong, but if you become stronger after becoming my personality, should I hold back a little more? No, power is necessary to protect Alice. Besides, if I become a muscle-brained character, it might be easier to read the situation. It becomes easier to identify who is invading. But hey, I don't want Alice to think I'm a muscle-brained character, so I'm worried.

"By the way...Thank you for my brother."

"What happened suddenly?"

"I knew it when I saw my brother's refreshing face when he lost a while ago."

Yes, he thanked me straight, so I said with a sigh.

"I don't need a thank you. I have merit too."

"merit?"

"Well, sooner or later this kind of situation would have happened."

Or, I thought of assassinating him, but as expected, I felt uncomfortable doing that, so I chose the troublesome one. It's true that I was worried about how to deal with that case because I assumed that the capture target would target Alice. Of course, if it was to protect Alice, I wouldn't hesitate to kill him, but I was troubled because I didn't know if it was okay for me to hold Alice in my arms. As a result, I am grateful to Rinse.

"Rather than that, we have to go to the other guys too, right?"

"Yes. Next time..."

"Are you coming?"

"Of course. I want to see it through to the end."

What a strange thing. It wouldn't be interesting to see something like this, but I'd say it's serious.

"In that case, I have already decided where to go next."

"Is that so?"

"Oh. I'm heading to the Misty duke house."

At those words, Rinse said with a wry smile.

"Arth... I know you want to meet your fiancée, but I think you should restrain yourself a little."

"Well, I won't deny it, but Alice isn't the only one I want to meet. There's someone in that house, too. One of the parties."

"... Miss Misty's adopted brother, huh?"

From what I've checked, it seems that it's currently locked up underground, but I don't know when it will become a threat to Alice, so I'd like to do it as soon as possible.

"Certainly, it might be better to meet him early."

"What does it mean?"

"It seems that he is the worst among the parties involved. I seems to be able to hear his hatred for you even now."

It seems that I was holding a grudge without knowing it. But I hate him too... he seems to have a higher pride than the prince, so this time I'll try to be a bit of a heretic. Is it quicker to break his heart by showing a cruel face that you would never show to Alice? Fortunately, my brother-in-law and Alice don't seem to have much contact with each other, so Alice won't get hurt, and I'll just do well.

"Rinse, can you keep quiet no matter what I do?"

"I don't want to understand the meaning of that question, but I believe in my friend."

"Really? thanks"

Rinse is someone I can trust as a friend. He wouldn't report this to Alice, and he wouldn't mind doing whatever I wanted. Duke Misty is also working on training a new successor, so my brother-in-law should no longer be used. In that case, I thought to himself that it would be okay to break his heart and then fix it.
