Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 154
Episode 154:
Late at night.
Daria came to Baan without anyone knowing.
“Oh, please sit here.”
Baan tensed up as she slowly entered the room.
He hurriedly handed her a chair and sat down across from her.
Baan sat in a sedentary position and looked at Daria with a nervous face.
‘It’s my first time having a woman in my room… It won’t stink, right?’
Not only was it his first time with a woman, but it was also his first time dealing with a woman, so he was worried about how to start the conversation.
“I heard everything.”
“yes?”
What did you hear? Baan tilted his head.
“Did you not hear what Raymond said?”
“Ah…”
After hearing her words, Baan realized why she came to see him.
Raymond did that. A helper to help him will find him soon.
But I just didn’t think that the helper was Daria.
“I heard that you said you would become emperor.”
“Swing.”
After hesitating for a moment, Baan nodded.
If she was a helper, there was no reason to hide it.
“Is there a way?”
“no. “Not yet… I said I would find out how when I meet my helper.”
“It’s time to meet your helper…”
Daria, who was contemplating something, soon nodded.
“okay. Well, first of all, I need to know your current situation. “You have to know what it is like now to make plans for the future.”
“Uh… are you really on my side?”
“…Honestly, I hated it. “It’s still the same now.”
Baan’s heart seemed to sink at the sharp look in Daria’s eyes.
There was a lot of contempt in her eyes.
“I hate you, Your Highness. He uses his power to belittle others, doesn’t see people as people, and even treats me like an object. “If I tried to tell you each and every reason why I dislike you, I could probably stay up all night.”
“….”
Baan’s face darkened.
Daria’s harsh words were very sharp.
He knew his mistake, so he had nothing to say back to her.
Her face, which had been looking fiercely at him with his head down, began to soften at some point.
“But now that thinking is about to change a little.”
“…!”
Baan raised his head with a sobering expression on his face.
“If Your Majesty’s actions had been the same until now, my thoughts would have been the same. “I could see things starting to change at some point.”
“Ah…”
“At first, I thought it was just a moment. Because people don’t change that easily. But he has maintained it ever since then. When I saw that, I thought, oh, but people can change. “Well, the things I don’t like are the same.”
“Then why did you help me?”
“Because I trust Raymond. Did you really think that I would have believed you? “If that were the case, I would like to tell you that it is a huge mistake.”
Baan pouted his lower lip.
Even so, there is no need to speak so harshly in front of the person involved.
Baan, who was about to think that way, quickly shook his head.
No, you shouldn’t be thinking like this anymore.
You have to be able to accept it, and you have to accept it and fix it.
Raymond told me that was how it should be. I was told that if I didn’t do that, it would be difficult for me to live, let alone become an emperor in the future.
I wanted to refute that statement, but I couldn’t.
In fact, I received a lot of assassination threats recently while I was in the imperial court.
“I think that’s the same for you, Your Majesty.”
“yes.”
“I’m talking to you like this because I believe what Raymond says. “Let’s end this story and return to the main topic.”
She crossed her hands over her crossed legs, saying that any further chatting would be a waste of time.
***
“Thank you for your effort.”
“Ah yes.”
After talking until almost dawn, they got up.
Daria kept a blank expression throughout the conversation.
I was occasionally frowned upon, but that was because I knew the situation in Baan was so miserable that it was almost miserable.
Other than that, everything went generally smoothly.
“I think it would be best to leave the rest to you later. “Other people might misunderstand because it’s been around for longer than expected.”
“Yes…”
She was staring at Baan, who looked helpless, and turned her head, saying that she could do that.
I was exhausted from sitting and talking for a long time.
“Then I’ll just leave. Oh, and you know that what happened today shouldn’t be spread outside, right?”
“I know.”
“Okay then, take a break.”
“Oh, wait a minute…!”
“…Why are you doing that?”
Baan caught her as she was about to leave the room.
She turned to look at him as she closed the door she had opened to leave.
“I have one question.”
“What is it?”
“Are you aware that this job is dangerous? “If you do it wrong, you could die.”
“I know.”
“Oh, you know?”
Baan was slightly taken aback by her answer.
The word ‘death’ has never been a problem that can be accepted so easily.
Power can only be used if it is alive.
In particular, in the case of royal families and members of the royal family, they lived close to death, so they knew very well how fearful it was.
Dying for oneself may be different, but dying for others is different.
The risk in this case is even greater.
If she did something wrong, she could be arrested for treason, so it was a bit incomprehensible that she, knowing the dangers, would do this simply at Raymond’s request.
‘He definitely has the ability.’
It would be nice if she could help.
After talking with her, I found out that she had abilities.
More than anything, he was happy just knowing that Daria was helping him.
But apart from his happiness, he did not want Daria to die.
“yes. I know. It’s strange not knowing. This is something that is done for the emperor’s position. “It’s even weirder that you don’t know it’s dangerous.”
She spoke very calmly.
In fact, he even looked at him indifferently, wondering what the big deal was.
“Why? I don’t quite understand. “Even if it is my job, this has nothing to do with you.”
This is something I was curious about during the conversation.
She said she hated herself.
He said he hated it to the point of despising it and that his thoughts have remained the same ever since.
It was so heartbreaking when I heard those words.
It was strange to see her so passionately trying to help.
This was something that was directly related to Raymond’s survival.
“It’s Raymond’s request.”
Her answer was very calm.
She shrugged her shoulders as if that wasn’t a problem at all.
“Is Raymond that important to you?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“Because he is the person who saved me from hell. And even now he is saving me and helping me.”
“….”
“It was only recently that I realized how much he cares for me. “How could I refuse his request to help and give me a chance?”
‘It’s also the opportunity I wanted the most.’ She swallowed her words.
There was no need to tell him this.
He just needs to know that he is helped by Raymond.
“I will repay that favor somehow. Even if it means I die.”
Baan bit his lip as he looked at her hot eyes.
The look in her eyes that reminded me of Raymond bothered me.
“Do you like him?”
So I bit my lip and asked.
I hope not.
“no.”
His face brightened slightly at her subsequent answer.
“Can you tell I like this? He’s a person I can’t like. I can’t like him. To the point where I hate myself for being foolish in the past… Oh, that’s right. That’s what this feeling is. east longitude. I admire him. A person I cannot dare to approach, but want to approach. He is that person to me.”
Baan had no idea whether he should like this or not, as her eyes showed not only obsession but even madness.
It’s definitely a good thing that she doesn’t like Raymond, but her feelings for Raymond are too hot for her to actually like him.
“Then I guess the business is over now, right?”
“yes.”
“Then I will go.”
Baan could no longer hold her back as she looked so cold on the outside.
Kwiik-Tak.
He stood there staring blankly at the door until she left and the door closed.

Hung- Huh-
The training ground was filled with the sound of knights swinging their weapons as usual.
‘I think I’ve gotten used to this, but should I go to Warrug once to learn the next thing?’
Even though I couldn’t go before because I didn’t know when Baan would have an accident, it was different now.
Now I don’t have to worry about him even when I’m not around.
Moreover, now Daria was also cooperating.
‘It would be a good idea to introduce Daria to wild dogs.’
There was a lot to do.
First, I need to stop by the Warrug to learn the next training method, and then take Daria to visit the wild dogs.
The wild dog’s intelligence will be of great help to her in taking control of Baan and the Empire.
“Are you stopping?”
“uh. “I have somewhere to go today.”
“Oh me too…!”
“I think it would be best for you to continue, Your Highness.”
“Can’t I follow along?”
“I don’t think it will work this time.”
“Ah…”
He patted her on the shoulder and returned the wooden sword to the knight commander who was waiting next to her.
After safely completing his duties as a count, he returned and for some reason he just smiled at me.
“Is something good happening?”
“no. “It’s just that you seem to be getting better day by day.”
“I like everything.”
“ha ha ha. I can’t help but say that it’s okay to say that. “I think we’ll have to learn this from you.”
“I can do it right now, so why train me?”
“no! ha ha ha.”
“That’s nonsense.”
I shook my head when he spoke to me jokingly.
In the past, I couldn’t eat it so I couldn’t eat it, but now I couldn’t eat it anymore and it was frustrating.
“To Warrug.”
“yes.”
When I got to the gate, the wizard nodded and activated the gate.
“Ah, master…!”
Reina, who followed me late, was shocked and quickly ran towards me, shouting.
He waved his hand at her.
Paaaa-
The light enveloped me and moved me to Warrug.
I’ll have to buy Raina something delicious next time.
“Where is Count Warrug…”
It was time to grab a nearby maid and talk to her.
“Raymond…!!”
From a distance, I saw Count Warrug running towards me, making a loud roar and kicking up a cloud of dust.
“You came at the right time!”
He wrapped his arm around my waist, lifted me up on his shoulder, and started running.
“Now just a moment…!”
“Go ahead and tell me!”
With his words, a huge shock hit my face.
