Chapter 26 – Yesterday’s Enemy (5)

The sun brightened the ht several fishes fro to clean theic wasn’ttwo birds with one stone by leveling up his Spell Level

Maybe

“WowArtpe’s hand movements are exquisite”

“I’ to boast, but I have a knack for useless talents”

“Leseti, are all icians able to use such an odd spell?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a spellIt seems he is more special since he is a hero”

Silpennon and Leseti was also watching this sight

If spoken bluntly, they had lost their positions and their escort guardsThey were beggars nowArtpe felt a little bit bad for just sending them away, so he decided to send them off after a meal

“So you guys didn’t bring any foods you can eat?”

“We did bring a lot ofDimensional Pouches”

“I’m sure you know this, but I’ll say it just in caseDon’t spend large sums of money in any old place”

“Why not?”

“Hah”

Artpe looked away from SilpennonHe looked at Leseti with sympathy in his eyesHe could clearly see the difficulty she would have to endure in the future

“······hoong”

“Eh-eet”

However, Leseti avoided his gaze as her cheeks reddened

In her stead, Maetel pinched Artpe’s thigh

“Huh?”

What the hell?Why were their reactions switched?

Artpe was bewildered as he rubbed at his thighAt that moment, the crown prince added a supplementary explanation

“For the past 20 years of her life, Leseti only focused on self-training and protecting meShe is a poor wo, she is accepting you in that fashi+on, because she is very thirsty”

“Your highness, it has been an honor to be able to serve you until nowPlease be happy in your future endeavors”

“Why are you unsheathing your sword!I always trusted you to be by my side!”

“You revealed the reason why!”

“You aren’t using honorifics!?”

Such a simple method was able to eliminate her sense of loyaltyHe had a better idea nohy the Diaz Kingdom were overrun by the rebels

He finished cleaning the fishes

Artpe kept a sside his ht over edible plants, and he put in spices(50 bronze) he bought from the merchantWhen the water came to a boil, he put the fishes inSoon, a very pleasant smell started to emanate from it

“It see all of this”

“If you fight and live in the mountains and fields, this type of skills becomes second nature to you”

The four people ate the finished fish soupThe rations supplemented the mealThe food was eaten in a blink of an eyeMaetel alway ate whatever Artpe ive her a ball of dirt, and she would say it was deliciousHowever, he had thought Silpennon would have a picky palate, since he was the crown princeHe ate it without coave Artpe a compliment

“Thank youI enjoyed it very much”

“How should I say this?You are so polite that it is annoying”

“Mreat…”

He decided not to ask Leseti about what she was checkingArtpe finished washi+ng the dishesHe stood up after he put away the pot into the Dimensional Pouch

“Let’s go our oay from here on out”

“Is there any e can go with you guys?I guess this is to be expectedMy ability is pitiful couys……”

Silpennon was in low spiritsHe lowered his head as he mumbled those wordsThis was the first time he had escaped the mantle of his position as the crown princeIt was at this moment that he realized hoerless he was for the first ti forould be determined on how he remedied that fact

Artpe had a bitter expression on his face, and he asked Silpennon a question as if he was asking it in passing

“So what do you plan on doing from here on out?”

“I planned on finding the heroesThen I wanted to achieve theHowever, that plan fell into pieces, so I don’t knohat…I can’t go back to the castleIn truth,I’m at a dead end”

“Leseti, do you have any other plans?”

“He is an annoying hu, but he is my lordI will protect him until I’m able toThat is it”

“Basically, you don’t have any other plans”

“Koohk”

He had expected her to be a little bit smarter than Silpennon, but it seemed Leseti also didn’t know much about the world

If he let theo like this, they would die so about itHe could only see a miserable death for them in the future

“······ssp I guess it can’t be helped ”

Artpe let out a sigh as he gave them a proposal

“Let’s form a temporary party”

“Are you…letting us into your party!?”

Silpennon’s eyes shone, and even Leseti had a healthy glohen she heard the newsMaetel looked as if she was unsatisfied with so

“I like being with ArtpeJust the two of us…”

“This is teeonIf I let this guy leave, he’ll suffer a rough fateI’ll give him some basic lessonsI’ll let hi back to me in the future”

“Are you supposed to say that in front of the person you are talking about?”

Silpennon spoke as he was duhtHe no that Artpe cared about them

When he saw Artpe ruthlessly kill the knights, he had doubts as to whether he was a heroAs expected, he was good at a fundamental level!

Of course, Artpe’s intention was entirely different from what Silpennon had attributed to him

‘Even if he was the crown prince, they don’t let anyone join the hero’s partyOne has to be excellent and skilled at a very basic levelThat is why the party ’

The crown prince had the talent to become a thief He was very remarkable

If he was trained properly, he’ll be able to gain fadohout the continentOf course, in his past life, Silpennon was locked away inside the palace for five years alongside Maetel, and the rest was history

‘If I expend a little bit of my time here, I can create a foundation he can build onI would be ainst the De’s ar to repay his debtsIn light of that fact, there isn’tthis’

If one received a favor, it had to be paid pack

It was a reasonable sentiood on such sentiht have that great quality where he would keep true to his duties

“I have a question”

Silpennon hadn’t opened his mouthIt was Leseti

“You just said a DungeonYou speak so lightly about it…Do you realize it is very hard to find a Dungeon?At this eon in an attempt to strike it richThey roam the land, but they are barely able to find one after they fruitlessly search for several yearsEven if they do find one, they just suffer a dog’s death”

“I’m already well aware of that fact”

“If ant to clear a decent Dungeon, we’ll have to stay together for couple yearsIs this a roundabout way of accepting us into your party?”

Maybe Leseti was hoping her words were trueShe had come here based on the idea that she had to save the crown princeHowever, she wasn’t talented at anything except fighting and protecting someone

He was young, yet he had ridiculous amount of powerMoreover, he was talented in many facetsIf they were able to join Artpe’s party, she would be able to just focus on fighting and guarding the crown prince

On top of that, if the crown prince was able to grow up splendidly and play a support role in defeating the De, he would be able to return triumphantly as the scion of the Diaz family
