As I already said, I have not officially enlisted in the Imperial Army.

They simply went to the army to receive basic training and learn what the battlefield was like.

what. There is something to be said about the training being 6 months rather than the one month it was in my previous life.

anyway. For that reason, I tried to return to my family as soon as I returned.

I miss my parents and I miss Kaya. And I miss our chef’s skills.

It is true that home-cooked meals are the best, both in my past life and in my current life.

“Uh-huh! This friend. You can’t do that!”

But my grand plan was stranded before it even got started.

In response to the opinion that he wanted to go straight to his hometown, the corps commander said, “Hey!” It was stopped.

“There are so many people waiting for your story. Above all, wouldn’t it feel like something was missing if you missed the banquet to celebrate our legion’s victory?”

“That, corps commander. I understand everything else, but why did we win? .”

“That’s right, the Novogord guys got a real kick out of it. Because we laughed so hard at them! You don’t have to fight and win to win! Just breaking the enemy’s morale is enough! Didn’t Jeok Baek teach you that?”

hmm. My father always told me to do my best in a fight.

If you were told that you won because you showed your character, you would probably wonder what that means.

“And then. It seems like Her Highness was secretly anticipating your arrival, Kael.”

At the words of the corps commander, without even realizing it, I was shocked. And he sighed.

Is this at the level of completely blocking the escape hole?

As I was scratching my cheek in embarrassment, the corps commander came and drove me in.

“Even though it was a secret march, didn’t your highness join in this march anyway? In that situation, we delivered a good blow to the Novogord side, and this is an event to commemorate it, but Her Majesty the Princess will be in a lot of trouble if the person who played a decisive role is not at the banquet.”

“Yes, I see… .”

As a noble of the empire, I cannot ignore the idea that a precious member of the imperial family is embarrassed.

Although I am not a noble to the core, I do distinguish between what is okay to do and what is not.

“I understand. Corps commander. I wonder what use a kid like me would be at a banquet for military personnel… .”

“You never lose your humility until the end. Jukjaebaek educated his eldest son very well.”

“Hahaha. Yes, thank you.”

Going crazy. I just told the truth, ‘I was lucky.’ It is being said.

But everyone who hears that says, ‘Uh-huh. ‘Stop being humble!’ I’m going crazy because I’m doing it.

When I think about it, I guess it was our teacher Gongmyeong’s trick that I followed.

There’s no way the people here know the Three Kingdoms, but they still feel like there’s something great about it.

After saying that I would attend the banquet, I looked for my servant, Alexei.

We had to inform them that the plan to return immediately upon arrival at the island had been revised.

“Are you talking about a banquet? Master?”

“Yes. That’s it. I’m sorry, Alexei. It would have been nice to know that I was returning to my family.”

“I don’t care because it’s natural for me to follow the master’s wishes. Rather, I would like to ask you if you are okay.”

At Alexei’s words, I smiled and shook my head.

Is there any way it could be okay? Of course it’s not okay. What kind of banquet is this? Even I am the main character!

I thought I had already written enough dark stories. I’ve reserved a blanket kick for a while.

Now I can go to the banquet and say, ‘Oh! A great strategy! Oh oh! Excellent tactician!’ I can’t believe I have to hear this. I already feel like my head is pounding.

If someone dies at a banquet, I think the cause of death is 100% shameful.

“It’s burdensome. Her Royal Highness told me to attend.”

“Ahh. Then you should definitely go. Even if you have work to do, you have to cancel everything and go.”

“… Is it that much?”

“The head of the family would have said the same.”

If my father said that, it’s acceptable. This was something I absolutely had to go for.

okay. I told you to enjoy it if you can’t avoid it. Let’s use this situation to our advantage.

You never know. Could there be an event for me and my family at the banquet?

*

When we returned to the Empire, more people than expected welcomed us.

It wasn’t like we had achieved a huge victory, but I wondered if it was like this.

But as soon as I heard people humming the song, I was able to understand it right away.

“Stupid Novogords give arrows as gifts when they get scared!”

“When demons come, take out the straw. He changes it to an arrow and runs away!”

“Oh. Our good demons. Oh oh. Our good neighbor Novogord!”

The people gathered are singing along without any regard for who goes first.

If an envoy from Novogord had been here, his face would probably have turned red.

‘The people of the empire were more concerned about Novogord than we thought.’

They say they are ‘those demons’ and that they are nothing to compare to the empire.

In my mind, I thought, ‘Ah. ‘Aren’t these guys supposed to be successful?’ It seems like he was worried.

“If anyone sees it, they will think that we achieved a great victory.”

“That’s right, young master.”

After that, things proceeded according to regulations.

The corps commander formally reported to the Ministry of War. He laid down the command he had been given according to the Emperor’s command.

The soldiers who returned alive went to their respective places. Or went back home.

“If you had fought a big battle and won, His Majesty might have personally sent someone to praise you.”

“High-ranking people may feel sad inside, but soldiers will say this is better.”

After the somewhat hectic post-mortem cleanup, we headed to the banquet.

My original plan was to quietly stay in a corner, watch what was happening, and then leave early.

However, when I got there, I couldn’t do that because there were quite a few people I had one eye on.

“Oh! Kael! It’s been a while since I last saw you. Is your father okay?”

“Yes. Good luck!”

“Hehehe. That guy, since he retired from active duty, is he just playing around?”

“No. Rather, they say that everyday life is boring and they become restless.”

“I thought so. When I told him to postpone his retirement, he didn’t listen.”

I met with military elders who worked with my father and told them the news about my father.

“See you again, Prince Kael.”

“This is the person who came to your father’s retirement ceremony.”

“Haha! You remember. I heard you did a great job this time. So are you really joining the army?”

“That… There’s still more to worry about. Hahaha!”

We also met and talked with people from other families who had ties to the Klauwicz family.

‘shit. ‘Busy, busy!’

As the eldest son of the family and the next head of the family, managing personal connections is essential. So even though I was tired, I didn’t even show any sign of that.

If I find any fault here, it will cause damage to my father, mother, and Kaya.

Come to your senses. If you think about it, this could be a real battlefield for me!

An hour passed as I went around saying hello and being dragged around like that.

The greetings were coming to an end so I tried to get out of the banquet hall.

But what caught me next was the corps commander who was with me this time.

“Come on, come here. Kael! There are so many people waiting for your saga!”

It’s not a saga! I didn’t even fight! And that’s because it’s luck!

I was screaming on the inside, but like a noble, I pretended to be as calm as possible on the outside.

Then they gathered around me and said with bright eyes, ‘Hurry up and solve the story!’ I had to explain what happened to those who did it again.

“It wasn’t important that the meteor fell. I have no way of knowing whether it is God’s will or not, as I am not a priest. As someone who belongs to the corps command, I thought about the morale of the soldiers.”

“It’s not because I’m amazing. However, it is the fastest and most effective method. That was the only thing I thought about. And the conclusion was that all we had to do was re-launch the fallen meteor.”

First of all, we talked about raising morale again, which had plummeted.

Everyone in the room. In particular, people from the Ministry of War listened very carefully.

I’d like to tell you to please go and have a drink, but what can I do? I have to endure it.

“And then… This can be explained in just one word. Heavenly luck. If the situation had gone even slightly wrong, we would never have achieved this result.”

“It is true that he came up with his own witty method. But it’s definitely not a great strategy!”

Moving on, I’m not that great of a guy! Why do you appeal? It’s simple!

If this continues, I don’t know where it will be sold. But what if it turns out that it was a lie?

It’s not just me who gets embarrassed. It’s not the end of my line.

Father, mother. Kaya. And even our family. They are being criticized because of me.

‘So, please stop those flashing eyes at this point… !’

I think I know what those eyes are. That’s what a farmer looks like when he finds an ox that seems to do a good job.

In addition to my performance(?) this time, it also happened to be from the Klauwitz family, so I had high expectations.

“Hehehe. The Emperor did a great job educating his eldest son.”

“That’s right. They say the hardest thing to have is humility.”

“Tsk tsk. Even though my son is two years older than Prince Kael, I don’t know why he is so childlike. Ah!”

see. If you don’t escape, your fate is to be captured by them and become a delicious slave.

I’m trying to appeal once again to those who won’t listen no matter what I explain, that I’m not a schemer.

“2Her Majesty the Princess is entering!”

The noisy banquet hall suddenly becomes quiet as if nothing had happened.

In the silence, there is a whisper on the stairs. The sound of shoes is heard.

“Ahaha. Why are you doing this to me? Come on, enjoy it. I’m not the main character here, right?”

A familiar voice. It belongs to the princess who talked to me all day until just yesterday.

But what I saw reflected in my eyes was a sight I could never say I was familiar with.

‘They say the clothes are wings.’

A bright dress instead of plain military uniform.

With makeup added to her already beautiful face, she looks like a completely different person.

Above all, the atmosphere exuded was truly that of a ‘princess woman’ itself.

“Ah. Prince Kael!”

The princess comes down the stairs. And he came next to me.

“Are you enjoying the banquet?”

In “, yes. majesty. A very useful time… .”

I looked around while answering. And then I realized that something really big had happened.

The princess appeared. But she approached me and was the first to talk.

From now on, the star of this banquet will be me in name and reality.
