Chapter 12 (1/2)
Chapter 1 「Female Knight Iona⑧」
Next day.
I’m teaching Iona the Brave Arts at the same time as yesterday in my exclusive dojo
There’s an uninvited guest that barged in.
A group of four wearing the armor of the knights.
All have a build like me,
Looking closely, I can tell that they’re just show off muscle.
They’re hardly useful in actual combat.
Everyone of them looking at me alertly.
It seems that they don’t have relations.h.i.+p with the woman.
They’re smiling while having thoughts of looking down on someone but they’re sticking on the unnatural smile.
The smile can cause discomfort on someone that made me think that it’s a certain kind of talent.
「Who the h.e.l.l are you! Who gave you permission to step foot in here!?」
Iona turned into tsuntsun mode as her practice is stopped.
Umu. that’s brave.
In the first place, this is my private room.
There should be no one permitted by me to enter except for Iona.
The man didn’t care about it and opened his mouth.
「Oh? Do I need permission? I don’t know that」
「Iona Cookrose is the famous man-hater isn’t she? Shouldn’t a man-hated like you not take a sword lesson from a man?」
「That’s right, the word is swung wholeheartedly」
「Well, it may not be just the sword that’s swinging」
He said that while moving his waist back and forth obscenely.
Oh. Those are the type「Men」hated by Iona.
Well, you’ll really become a man hater if you’re surrounded by men like this.
「b.a.s.t.a.r.ds…」
Iona looks furious.
「How did this chaste female knight seduced him? She wished for teaching and visit, that’s how it is1」
「Ain’t her face beautiful and well ordered? A woman like her would spread her legs once she saw a good looking man, isn’t she」
He said vulgar words while looking at my face.
These are the models of those who feigned politeness.
I’m the one embarra.s.sed looking at them.
It’s basically the unyielding Iona now relaxes her guard to a royalty after one night, the trivial reason attached to it sticks on their throat.
It’s not that Iona came to study here because I’m a royalty.
Rather she treated me like the same man at first, she’s not friendly at all.
She came to like the gentleman in me and the conclusive evidence is my sword technique and personality.
Me being the last remaining prince and my appearance is just a pre-text, the kingdom leaves women with excellent talents for me to inseminate.
It’s enough reason for those filthy men with no relations.h.i.+ps with women.
Well, since we’re both men (If they can see it, but) leaving the tasty role isn’t interesting, that’s probably their feelings.
That’s why I left those feelings and called them out as friendly as possible.
「Hey」
「What is it? Prince?」
They answered as if ridiculing me. A cheap provocation.
I didn’t mind it and kept talking.
「In this world, there are a lot of demons that exists that you can’t knock down」
「What?」
It seems that they can’t understand what I’m talking about.
「As fellow human, much more as a country men, don’t you think that it’s foolish to ridicule each other?」
It’s easy to take them using force but I want to avoid much chafe.
I thought of taking it smoothly.
「Are you planning to take us with your mouth as you don’t have winning chance with swords? As expected, you’re not different from what they tell a self-indulgent person」
The rumor of me being a foolish prince backfired.
It seems that they’re imagining me that I’m trying to talk them out because I can’t win with my ability.
It seems that they have no idea.
They’re not thinking ahead if suppose I report this to the king and what would be their punishment.
Well, I thought of the possibility of them not being frightened as they think of me as a loser.
Disrespect for the prince even as a joke is quite a sin. The punishment given to them can be imagined easily.
Well, I’m not a child so each and every information isn’t spoonfed.
Anyway, talking to them is useless.
This guys are too stupid. They won’t understand whatever I say.
Persuasion is just a waste of time for them.
I gave up persuading them and moved to use force.
「You shouldn’t disgrace yourselves in front of Iona, is something you won’t understand as you don’t think…」
Yareyare, I continued.
「Very well. I’ll play with you then」
Finally reaching the development they’re hoping for, one man introduced himself.
「Then, I’ll start. No, should I be ending it?」
The two men laughed.
「Hey hey, don’t expect that sort of chivalry spirit. I’ll take on all of you」
They took my words with disdain, the man’s tone run wild.
