A week after that.

“Meet the head of the family.”

“Meet the head of the family.”

The Mayer family’s tutors gathered in one place. It was the study of the head of the family, Georg Mayer.

“Teachers work hard to teach unprincipled children. What brought the teachers together today was none other than… ”

“Is it because of Franz’s education?”

“That’s right. How is Franz? What is the progress of learning? What is your talent?”

Then the six teachers each had a difficult look on their faces.

“The progress is quite fast. You have such a good memory and quick thinking that it’s hard to believe you’ve been asleep for 5 years.”

“Is that so?”

The head of the family, Count Georg Mayer, felt embarrassed by the history teacher’s words. No one felt bad after hearing praise for their child.

“At first, he had no interest in poetry and literature, but after learning that poetry and literature were related to politics, he actively learned about it.”

“Ho, that means… ”

“Franz seems to be interested in politics as well.”

Georg nodded in satisfaction again at those words. The eldest son of the Mayer family must be interested in politics. That’s because the Mayer family was a famous family of schemers who produced several schemers, and the successor to such a famous schemer was ignorant of politics, so there was no answer.

“He is especially strong in numbers. I often solve problems with my own formulas that I don’t know, and it’s as if I learned math in another country far away.”

“A math genius?”

“As for originality.”

Of course, this was only because Lee Si-woo knew modern mathematics, but because the math teacher did not know this, Lee Si-woo just seemed like a genius.

“Oh my… Should I teach that as a specialty?”

“That would be good too.”

“Why isn’t the swordsman saying anything?”

“Well, that’s… ”

“Be honest.”

“The talent is slightly less than that of the average person. If you teach well, you can become an average knight, but it will be difficult to rank in the top ranks.”

“… ”

I am not very talented in martial arts. The atmosphere became cold at that one word, but the matriarch smiled as if it was okay.

“Haha! It’s okay if a man has one flaw. So, what is your overall opinion?”

“Mu’s talent appears to be a little lacking, but since he just woke up from his hospital bed, I think it’s worth keeping an eye on.”

“Although he may not be a genius, he seems to have quite a bit of talent as a tactician.”

“I agree.”

“Soin also agrees.”

“You learn etiquette quickly.”

And one last one.

A teacher who taught politics and diplomacy said.

“You are not a genius like your younger brother, but you are quite talented.”

—–

Lucille Meyer.

He is the strongest tactician in the Arcadia era and is called the Zhuge Liang of the Arcadia era. The reason is that her intelligence is 100 and you will never go wrong if you follow her advice.

A talented person who blocked the rapid attack of [Demon King] Leona von Krusenstein, the protagonist of Arcadia’s biography, for four years. There was even a saying in the story, ‘If you win Lucille, you win the world.’

The reason I say that is because she was my sister.

“Brother.”

Sigh. Someone opened the door, came in, and called me. There was only one person who could call me brother. Lucille. A future S-class strategist. I closed the book I was reading and answered.

“Huh? Why?”

“I have a question.”

She rushed over and sat on the other side of the bed. She opened the book she had brought with her.

‘Even though he is the world’s greatest tactician and all, he is still a kid… ‘

Lucille is still 11 years old. He is 6 years younger than me at 17 years old.

“What are you curious about?”

“If you look at the book here.”

Is this a fairy tale book? I looked at the book. Then, the thickness of the book and the dense letters gave me a headache. At a glance, it looked like a history book.

“It is recorded that the Emperor selected his younger brother as his successor in 507, and then designated his newly born child as his successor in 509, resulting in a civil war between the factions that supported the younger brother and the faction that supported the child. Why did you make a promise that you would not keep, that you would hand over the throne to your younger brother?”

Are you talking about history? thank god. I knew a little bit about this because I read the story. Above all, I recently learned from the teachers again.

“For the Emperor.”

“Yes.”

“Keuhum. So, Seonje’s hobbies were tea ceremonies and gardening. You had quite aristocratic hobbies. But he wasn’t very interested in politics. He always wanted to hand over the throne to someone. This is because, while most members of the royal family lived extravagantly and profligately, the emperor was forced to live a frugal life as an example to his subjects.”

“Ah~ So you wanted to hand over the throne to your younger brother and enjoy your hobbies?”

“Yes. Although this has not been confirmed for certain, many believe that the Emperor wanted to hand over the throne and devote himself to tea ceremony and gardening. This is the so-called orthodoxy. Then, when the child was born, due to his wife’s refusal, he designated the child as the successor.”

“Thank you, brother! Thanks to you, my curiosity was resolved.”

He smiled brightly and I stroked his head.

“But I have one more question.”

“What are you curious about?”

“The Emperor prioritized his hobbies over politics. What are your brother’s priorities?”

“Well? I just woke up so I’m not sure. Perhaps the priority right now is to learn hard and make it for one person?”

“Hmm… ”

My younger brother smiled faintly.

“Thank goodness.”

“What?”

My younger brother, who thought for a while, answered after a while.

“Because my brother is a good person. Then I’ll just leave. If I sleep late, my mother gets scolded.”

After saying that, my younger brother got up from his seat and returned to his room carrying a thick history book.

“A good person? Me?”

I was a little surprised, but I just thought it was something a child said and passed on.

—–

Six months have passed. I learned swordsmanship, horseback riding, and various other hunting techniques. My mother scolded my father for learning horseback riding again after losing consciousness for five years while learning horseback riding, but my father was stubborn. Horseback riding was a must for a nobleman, especially if he were to become the head of a family.

Since I had no intention of riding a carriage for the rest of my life, I decided to learn horseback riding. Above all, ‘Arcadia Biography’ is a war game. War breaks out all the time. If you are at a disadvantage while fighting the enemy, you may have to run away, but isn’t it possible to run away in a carriage? Knowing or not knowing horseback riding will have a big impact on my future life.

I learned martial arts, starting with swordsmanship, spearmanship, and horseback riding, but to be honest, I was far inferior to professional knights. I only learned enough to be able to defend myself on the battlefield.

But there were also some good things I learned. Politics, diplomacy, literature, etiquette, etc… Above all, it was a strategy of war. As the times were changing, my father taught me military techniques intensively, and my military skills were at a level that I could boast about wherever I went. Of course, actual verification is necessary.

The tactics of this world were not much different from those in the game. Even though it was a fantasy game, Arcadia Electric had a reputation for the realistic nature of the war, and that was because it incorporated the tactics of this world.

As the successor to a family of schemers, I acquired many abilities and grew day by day.

Then one day.

-Dang! Dang! Dang!

A bell was heard from somewhere. Been staying here for 6 months. I knew what this bell was.

“Alarm bell… ?”

seedling. This is a bell used to announce the beginning and end of the day. When the alarm bell rings, the workday begins, and when it rings again, the workday ends. But for the alarm bell to sound so quickly…

‘Something happened!’

It was only when something happened. For example, a raid or a war. Unless something big happens, the alarm doesn’t sound this quickly. In a word, it is like an emergency bell.

I immediately got up and ran to the castle. Then, inside the castle, my father was wearing armor and leading a group of knights.

“What… Is it work?”

“War broke out.”

“War?”

“Yes. They say the Krusenstein family invaded the Setia family.”

The Krusenstein family is our enemy family, and the Setia family is our master family. His father, Georg Meyer, was a vassal and counselor to Duke Henrik von Setia.

“This father will go to the battlefield for a while.”

“Father… ”

My younger sister, Lucille, ran to my father and hugged him. Even if she is a woman who will become the strongest tactician in the future, she is still a child.

“Lucille, don’t worry. This father has been on dozens of battlefields so far, but isn’t he alive like this?”

“You have to be careful.”

“It’s natural. Don’t worry.”

After the loving time between father and daughter is over.

“Take care of yourself, father.”

“Sure.”

The greeting between father and daughter was dry, unlike the greeting between father and daughter. That was partly because of my personality, but there were other reasons at the same time.

‘If I remember correctly, Georg Mayer died of illness. They say there are many people in the Mayer family who are naturally weak. That means you won’t die on the battlefield.’

Since I already knew the outcome of not dying, there was no reason to worry too much.

“Oh, I didn’t mention this.”

“What is it?”

“You are the temporary lord while I am away, son. I wish you all the best for your permanent residency position.”

“Yes?”

“You are the lord.”

“Me?”

“Okay.”

what? This is a bit burdensome.
