"Now, if you want to see it, do you mean to test it yourself?"
Crown Prince Aaron asked me that with an astonished expression.
The emperor wanted to see my immortality ability, and I asked him if he was curious about his sword skills.
Of course, it wouldn't be strange to accept that as a provocation to hurt yourself if you want to see immortality.
I shrugged at the prince's words and looked at him.
When I, who had perfect imperial etiquette just a moment ago, suddenly took on an attitude like a gangster, a buzz reverberated throughout the battlefield.
Aaron glered at me with an indignant expression and tried to say something, but the emperor was a little faster than that.
"Funny."
"I'm just trying to give you a little entertainment, Your Majesty."
I bowed respectfully in front of the emperor again and replied.
However, the emperor also realized that I was not the only one who feared him anymore.
The emperor looked around the palace and asked the nobles who had gathered to watch me.
"Who would want to play against the hero?"
At the emperor's words, the nobles only noticed each other, but no one stepped forward.
Naturally, the nobles of the empire were also more enthusiastic than anyone else, in my opinion.
For them, it was a burden to deal with me, who did not even know the exact skill.
"You mean there is no one?"
The emperor frowned and said that, probably not liking the reactions of the nobles, who were only paying attention.
And it was Aaron who responded to the emperor's displeasure.
"Okay, I'll deal with you. Bring your sword!"
Aaron came forward and told me so.
To be honest, Aaron's swordsmanship skills should be viewed favorably, to the point where he barely gets into the lowest rank of the Knights.
Of course, there was no way the knights would properly stick together with a guy the size of a crown prince, so Aaron must have overestimated his own skills.
"Oh, are you okay? I still don't have the skills to do it while looking at my opponent, right?"
I could see Aaron's face reddening, noticing the meaning behind my words.
"There is nothing to worry about. If you swing while watching the opponent, can you properly check your skills?"
Aaron said that to me and came forward, and the emperor just watched the situation while maintaining an interesting expression even in the situation where Aaron, his son and crown prince, might get hurt.
"Can I step in? Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
At that moment, someone among the nobles sneaked forward and spoke to Aaron.
A man with a dazzling bald head and a muscular appearance.
"You…"
"My name is Juan Milter, the captain of the knights of the Butler estate."
"The captain of the knights of Count Butler."
The prince looked at the bald head of one of the knights, Juan, and moved his gaze behind him.
Her fan covered her face, but she saw a woman with a voluptuous body that couldn't quite cover her breasts, slightly bowing her head toward the prince.
"Great. Since it's still before we start, I'll back down even if I see the countess's face."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
I frowned as I saw the prince and Juan making concessions to each other in front of me.
'Ha, Juan Milter. I never thought I'd meet him here.'
Even at the time of the first playthrough, I couldn't remember if Juan and his master were here.
At that time, I was in a very nervous state, and I did not know the names or faces of the nobles at all.
In addition, it was a little later that Juan and I got entangled in the first playthrough.
'There, even Hazel. This really caught the day.'
Hazel D. Butler.
I bit my teeth at the figure of the woman looking over Juan's shoulder, who was warming up with a relaxed expression.
The woman, who is the owner of Juan and who rules the county located on the border of the Lorraine Empire, was one of the targets I had to take revenge on.
**
"To punish Countess Hazel D. Butler? Why?"
In my words, Prince Aaron asked me that.
I was mad with anger, but the other person was the prince, not someone else, so I suppressed my anger as much as I could and said.
"Even though she had plenty of chances, she wouldn't let people outside the city inside."
"Still, did you protect the Butler estate?"
Aaron asked me back with the expression that he did not understand what I was saying.
"Yes. Youngji kept it. And I tasted her death because of her."
"Haha. But you are immortal. So, now you are talking to me like this."
Aaron answered me with an indifferent expression.
Well, it was the nobles of this country who didn't care much about how many people died.
"Well, it's not that I don't understand mentally. Do you feel the pain as it is? Of course I hate her."
"…"
Even though I didn't ask for Hazel to be punished just because of my pain, Aaron said that to me with a knowing expression.
Then she began to lay out in great detail why she couldn't punish Hazel.
"Mrs. Hazel is a woman who has been formally entrusted with the countship. In addition, there are many nobles who secretly want to win her favor because of her looks. You know, she's a widow, and if you get her, it won't be impossible to swallow her butler estate."
As the prince said, Hazel D. Butler officially earned the title of count.
She was, of course, a woman, and there was a rather dramatic story behind her earning her earldom while still young.
Hazel was the daughter of an ordinary merchant family, and she had been chosen as the concubine of the original Earl, Geoffrey D. Butler.
But whether Hazel's luck was good or bad, after she entered the Butler family, bad things started to happen.
Geoffrey, much older than Hazel, died shortly thereafter, and two of Geoffrey's sons died on the battlefield in a rebellion on the frontier.
Count Geoffrey's wife, who left her two sons in an instant, went mad and committed suicide. In the end, the Butlers were left with only Geoffrey's youngest son, who was still unable to speak, and Hazel D. Butler.
Although she would one day have to yield her earldom to Geoffrey's youngest son, Hazel was still the owner of the Butler estate, and it was almost a matter of course for her youngest son to suffer her mysterious death should someone claim her. .
"That has nothing to do with me."
"Yeah, it doesn't matter. I haven't seen you for a long time, but I have a rough idea of what kind of person you are."
The prince said that to me with a strange smile.
"Say it easily. It's impossible for me to punish Mrs. Hazel. If I accidentally break the rice cake that others covet, I could take on that anger."
"It's disappointing. I thought you would listen to my request if it was the crown prince."
Angry, I said that to Aaron at the time, and Aaron laughed at the provocation and put his arm around my shoulder.
"Oh, how about you take Mrs. Hazel? She said it's said to be a hero, but she said it'll be quite a force for you, who don't even have a title. No, and to be honest, Mrs. Hazel is pretty cool. In particular, just looking at her voluptuous breasts, as if she were about to burst her clothes, made me salivate."
I just frowned at Aaron, who was doing dirty jokes on me like a back alley gangster.
No, at that time I didn't want to lose, so I said something to Aaron.
"If you're so greedy, is the crown prince drunk?"
"Ah, personally, I'm cautious not to touch married women. Even if it is a woman who has lost her husband,
"…"
"So, don't worry about political issues, and the hero should focus on catching the demon king."
At the time, I saw Aaron smiling casually, and I couldn't say anything.
**
"Didn't I say you wouldn't die? Then there is no need to look, right?"
Hazel's faithful servant, Knight Commander Juan Milter, asked me while touching the sword the soldiers brought.
He was an ignorant-looking fellow, but his skills were quite well known, and rumors circulated that the reason he was attached to the Butler family was because of Mrs. Hazel.
The combination of a young widow who lost her husband early and a muscular, bald knight commander was enough to stimulate people's imagination.
Well, some sympathize with it as an unfortunate fate, but the evaluation of Hazel floating around the world was overwhelmingly in favor of the lascivious witch.
'Because the young widow spills her sexuality on her.'
I thought that while ignoring Juan's words and looking at Hazel, whose eyes were twinkling in the distance.
Even if she didn't do anything special, she had something about her body that couldn't help but grab a man's attention.
"This guy. Where do you dare to look?"
Realizing where my gaze was heading, Juan said that to me with his face blushing.
Judging from Juan's reaction, it's clear that the rumors are true, but he has Hazel in his heart.
"Hmph, the body is so sweet that you don't know what to do; you look like a dog in heat!"
"Let's see how long you can keep talking like that!"
Face reddened by my provocation, Juan pulled out his sword and charged at me, and I also quickly thrust my sword at Juan.
