Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 153

Episode 153

Daria was breathing heavily.

The garden was filled with only the sound of her breathing.

I waited until she calmed down and slowly opened my mouth.

“Do you have to be a king?”

The king’s status was clearly high.

The king’s position was so high that it was difficult for commoners to even see the miracle.

Thinking about it in that respect, I understood that she wanted to become king.

Everyone in the castle wants to become king, and they believe that if they don’t become king, they will die.

“You have to be the king… what do you mean?”

Her eyes were round.

I saw him rolling his eyes trying to understand what I meant.

“That’s literally it. Isn’t the throne already decided anyway? “No matter how much I gain strength from now on, I don’t think Daria will be able to take that position from me.”

She looked at me silently.

She nodded weakly with a darkened face, as if she was tired of being angry anymore.

It would be difficult for her to defeat the crown prince unless the crown prince dies or something special happens that commits a major crime.

A wall that cannot be overcome no matter how hard you try.

Nevertheless, there was only one way to surpass him and take the throne.

Killing him.

‘I wouldn’t try to gain the throne like that. If I had intended to do that, I wouldn’t have left Serion and founded a new kingdom.’

In the original, Daria ran away from Serion because she could not become king.

As a result, they gathered all the talented people and created a country even though the population was small.

In just one year, the kingdom developed a military power strong enough to be called a great power.

Because all the talented people gathered from all over, the population was at least as powerful as the empire.

That is her strength and talent.

The power to become stronger by attracting and attracting talented people.

If it weren’t for Ahar trying to exterminate humanity, her country would have been able to surpass the empire.

“i know. I know. “There is no possibility for me.”

While I was thinking about her, I heard her voice as if she was crawling on the ground.

I looked back at her. I saw her sitting on the ground with her head down.

“…So I was giving up.”

Maybe I went too strong, but her voice was full of negative emotions such as frustration and depression.

My words provoked her.

I broke through the dam of emotions that she had been barely holding on to.

I didn’t intend to be that strong, but I ended up speaking more and more harshly without realizing it.

“That’s why I’m asking. “Do I really have to become king?”

“….”

She looks up at me. His face was full of resentment, as if he was still tormenting himself.

I opened my mouth without avoiding his gaze.

“Oh, that’s the wrong question. “I’m asking if I really need to be in Serion.”

“…!”

She stared at me blankly for a moment, then her eyes began to get bigger.

His face seemed to know what I was trying to say.

“If there is no hope in Serion, shouldn’t we just look elsewhere?”

“But…”

“Yes. “There must be a big difference between becoming a king from a royal family like Serion and becoming a king from nothing.”

She nodded.

There was a clear difference between starting from nothing and starting from something.

But what does that mean?

“Wouldn’t it be better to start with a probability of ‘0.1%’ rather than starting from ‘0%’?”

She cannot be king in Cerion.

This was already decided, and other royals did the same.

The crown prince’s position was solid. It became stronger and stronger after dealing with the second prince this time.

Just because it was revealed that he was in cahoots with the empire, the majority turned to his side.

Even if it wasn’t Daria, there was zero chance that any other royal family would surpass the crown prince.

What if the crown prince was falsely accused or committed some kind of mistake?

‘He’s not the kind of person who would suffer that much.’

If you touch the crown prince for no reason, you could lose everything, but among the royal family, there was no one who had the confidence to give up everything.

All he can do is watch the crown prince’s thoughts and worry so as not to lose what he has.

It would have been taken away later when the crown prince became king anyway.

These guys are truly pathetic.

“Of course, I didn’t say this to start from scratch. “I know how difficult it is, but there is no reason to ask you to give up what you have now.”

There was no reason to do such a crazy thing.

I knew how powerful her talent was, but there was no way she could have done something like that.

In the past, I might have tried to stay away from her because it was too much to take care of myself, but I’m not stupid enough to miss the opportunity when it arises.

“I’m not one to mess with the impossible. I tend to invest in things that have potential as much as possible. “I am definitely not the type of person to invest even though I know for sure that it will fail.”

“….”

“I said that earlier. Have you ever wanted to have greater power than the king? I’m serious about that. Daria, if you give up what you have now, you can gain power, although it may be a little risky.”

“…Really?”

She asked as cautiously as possible, but I saw one thing in her eyes.

The desire to have power.

I tried to hide it, but I couldn’t hide the excitement in her eyes.

“yes. An opportunity arose. Daria, all you have to do is say you will do it.”

She closed her mouth and thought for a moment.

Your thoughts will be complicated.

Although I spoke in a complicated way, she was smart enough to know what I was talking about.

Will you give up the name Serion and gain power, or will you give up your power and stay in Serion, regretting it for the rest of your life?

‘The result is already decided.’

I know her well.

I am not the type of person to give up even if I see a possibility, even if there is no possibility.

If he had been that kind of person, he would not have come out of Serion and established a kingdom.

“Even if Daria says you won’t do it, I have no intention of blaming or blaming you. Because I know this is a dangerous road. That’s why we give you the opportunity to choose.”

“one thing….”

“…?”

“I’ll ask you just one thing.”

“However much.”

“Why me?”

Why did you choose her?…

“Even if it’s not me…”

“Because it has to be Daria.”

“…!”

“If it weren’t for Daria, I wouldn’t have said this. No, I wouldn’t have even created this opportunity. I asked why? I see potential in you. I am confident that you will be able to take advantage of the opportunity I am giving you. “Is this okay?”

To be precise, I believed in the power she possessed.

With her power, flowers can bloom wherever she goes.

If it weren’t for Serion, she could gain strength and have unrivaled power.

All she needs is time and an undisturbed environment.

Once she has a certain amount of power, even such obstacles will no longer be a hindrance to her.

Rather, the interruption creates a platform for her and lifts her high.

“…I will do it. “I will do it.”

She jumped up and clenched her fists.

I felt satisfied as I watched her trying to do something.

‘She will be my fence.’

She was depicted taking the throne with Baan.

By moving Baan, who has become emperor, he will stand tall on the continent and will be of great help when dealing with Ahar.

It felt like I could see her and it was hard to hide my smile.

“Raymond…?”

“ah. Hmm… I’m sorry. “You chose well.”

“So what should I do now?”

At her question, he stopped walking and opened his mouth.

There was a telltale tremor in her dilated pupils.

***

-Daria smiled at Her Majesty Baan!

Rumors began to circulate in the count’s family.

That rumor was the kind of thing that could never have spread in the past.

Princess Daria ran away from Prince Baan and could not hide her disdain whenever they met him.

At some point, she approached Prince Baan and started talking to him.

There were too many witnesses who saw it to dismiss it as a lie.

Within two days, rumors began to circulate that he and her had become close friends.

“You’re doing great.”

The rumor reached my ears while I was training at the training center.

I was unable to reach it and even witnessed the scene myself.

“Raymond, would you like to try some of this? Baan also brought something to drink, so please enjoy it together.”

“thank you.”

Daria came with a basket full of snacks and spoke to Baan.

He gave me a sandwich and gave Baan some ice-cold tea.

I could see the corners of her mouth trembling as she smiled at Baan.

‘You’re having a hard time.’

When I thought she was having a hard time, I turned my head and made eye contact with her.

She was giving me a look that asked if this was really the only answer.

“It’s delicious.”

I nodded so small that Baan couldn’t see me.

She sighed.

When I asked her to become friends with Baan in the garden, she reacted violently.

But after my continued words, she eventually had no choice but to give up.

Because that opportunity was bad.

I wondered how I would deal with Baan after that, but she was doing very well.

“This is so delicious! “Would you like another drink?”

“Ah yes. “As much as you want.”

And Baan doesn’t like it that much.

He was smiling very brightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

He looked deeply touched that Daria, who had been ignoring and rejecting him, approached him first and spoke to him.

He looked back at me with an overwhelmed face, as if he was very happy about this time.

“It looks really good.”

“Raymond….”

“Yes! great!”

It was fun to see the contrasting reactions between her and him.

One person hates it, one person likes it.

Did you say that it is a comedy when viewed from a distance and a tragedy when viewed up close?

To someone who doesn’t know the situation, the two may seem close, but anyone who knows the situation would have no choice but to react the same way as me.

‘Then I think we can start soon.’

While Baan was crunching on his sandwich, he signaled to Daria behind him.

‘all right.’

She nodded.

From now on, it was up to her to do her own thing, so I decided to stay away.

“I’m going to get up soon.”

“uh? Me too…!”

“no. “I think it would be better for the prince to get some more rest.”

As she said that, she pointed to Daria and winked at him.

“Raymond…”

He looked up at me with an touched face.

I patted his shoulder and walked away.

“Your Highness Vaan… in the evening…”

He could hear Daria talking to him cautiously behind him.
