How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 6

How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat Episode 6

(06)

A servant from the main palace gave me a bottle of ‘Tears of the Wasteland’.

Rudy didn’t say much to me when I returned.

“You must be tired. Take a rest.”

That was it.

I’ve been thinking about this and that for a few days.

The first button was somehow fastened properly.

Everyone must have thought I was crazy.

It’s bitter, but that kind of gaze is familiar.

I only need to be cleared of harm by one person.

But those astonished looks were my opportunity.

The strength was needed more than before the regression.

In the future, the betrayals, treason, rebellions, and floods of evil that occurred in the past life had to be properly prevented.

I had to make sure she didn’t have to cross the line or become a tyrant.

‘Who else but Jim can protect this empire?’

The innocent smile she wore as she said those words was still vivid in my memory.

Compared to those I would have to deal with in the future, the maidservant wielding a dagger was nothing.

In addition, you must be prepared for the possibility that your calculations will be wrong and your relationship with Jaylilith will be completely ruined.

At that time, I needed the strength to endure the attacks until her anger subsided, or if that didn’t work, to run away.

“I need to learn how to use a sword again.”

But she was wary of its potential to incite rebellion.

If a member of the royal family wanted to learn swordsmanship or magic, they had to get permission.

Of course, no one has been given permission yet.

I needed an excuse to practice swordsmanship.

“Rudy. Let’s go on a picnic.”

“Really? You thought about it carefully.”

She answered with a smile.

“I was worried because you’ve been lying down for a few days. Where should I go?”

“Platinum Knights Training Grounds.”

“yes?”

* * *

To get to the training ground, you had to take a carriage and go all the way to the main palace.

“Mr. Valen. Didn’t the rose bloom really beautifully?”

Rudy, sitting next to me, smiled brightly.

It was a happy day to be walking through a flower garden on a nice day, instead of serving a drunken rascal in the corner of the room.

I did too much. I think it would be better to come out more often from now on.

“Rudy. I’m just saying, just in case.”

“Yes, Lord Valen.”

“If I get hit, just watch.”

“Huh? I wasn’t going to watch the knights train.”

“that’s right.”

“But why do you say it as if something happened to you?”

I didn’t answer, but just stuck my hand out the carriage window.

The sunlight was warm.

The central part of the empire is generally warm, and even in June it is swelteringly hot.

Moreover, today is a sunny day without a single cloud.

If you roll around on a gravel floor wearing a full body plate armor that weighs over 30kg, you’ll sweat profusely.

Anyone would be annoyed to see the royal family members laughing and having fun under the shade of a tree while being fanned by their maids.

If you keep irritating him enough, he’ll probably challenge you to a duel or a sparring match.

I practiced my malicious smile against the carriage window.

“I don’t go to see swordsmanship; I go to see knights suffering on a hot day.”

Repeating these words over and over again.

After riding the carriage for about 30 minutes, we arrived at the ‘Baekgeum’ training ground.

In the wide training ground, knights wearing heavy training armor and carrying lead balls were rolling, running, and swinging their swords.

“Run faster! Run faster!”

“I can’t do it! I’m out of mana!”

“Mana is increasing right now! Run!”

“Can’t you increase your mana by practicing while sitting? Isn’t that more efficient?”

“Your Majesty doesn’t seem to think so. Run!”

“Damn it! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!”

The rookie knight, who had been panting, followed the senior knight and started walking again.

In this world, the concentration of mana in the atmosphere was so high that one could become a sword user or sword expert just through physical training.

After reaching a certain level and gaining control over mana, it was common to accumulate mana through meditation training.

But the youngest sword master of all time had a different realization and instilled in his knights a training method he had personally developed.

The training method also included a process in which knights who had already reached the level of sword expert would run around the training ground until they collapsed from exhaustion.

“Who knew that was a stroke of genius?”

“yes?”

“no.”

This training method later has unexpected effects.

All the imperial knights unconsciously learned how to use mana as efficiently as possible.

It wasn’t a dynamic effect that could produce 5 power with 3 mana, but it was a training method that could produce 1.3 power with 1 mana.

In a future where people compete to see who can fall first while devouring their own flesh, being able to fight for a long time with little mana was a huge advantage.

Of course, that’s in the distant future, and right now even the Platinum Knight Commander doesn’t understand why he’s doing this.

“I’m so glad.”

If they had known how important and great they were doing, they would have been wary of me.

I unbuttoned three of my shirt buttons and sat in the shade of a tree, letting Rudy fan me.

A young knight who had fallen behind the group glared at me furtively.

Great, it worked right away.

The knights who had completed fifty laps of the training ground gathered at the front again.

He began to practice the Imperial sword technique developed by Jaylilith, holding a dirty, heavy training sword.

“I feel like I’m going to die.”

“This is a movement that is impossible without mana.”

“But I can do it, right?”

“I want to hang out with my maid under the shade of a tree like that prince!”

“When I first started, I thought I was going to die, but not anymore.”

The knights reacted differently.

“Just three more times! Let’s all do our best!”

The vice-captain shouted loudly even though he was wearing a helmet.

Even the knights who were on the verge of death stood up and fought with their swords.

I sipped the cool tea Rudy had handed me and looked at the Imperial Sword.

“Imperial Swordsmanship, Level 1! Everything is suffering.”

The swords that came down slowly and magnificently, then magically sped up in an instant and cut through the air.

Everything is suffering.

[Fighting is suffering.

Defeat is painful, and victory is also painful.

But there are degrees of suffering.

Acknowledge the shadow and step into the light.

Fight without fearing the price of victory.]

The movements that contained such realization were the first level of Imperial Swordsmanship.

“Be bold.”

I was amazed and engraved every single one of them on my retina.

I wanted to use that technique again quickly.

“Run 30 laps around the training ground again and start the second stage. Get ready!”

“Yes, sir!”

The knights cheered. I smiled faintly and sipped the cool tea.

The young knight gritted his teeth when he saw me.

“See you after it’s over.”

I pretended not to hear what he was mumbling.

* * *

Even though their training was over, the young rookie knights were unable to return to their quarters.

“I’m going to die!”

“My legs, my legs!”

“I need more mana.”

They each spread out on a wide training ground and swung their swords.

I sat down near the young knight who had been glaring at me earlier.

As I was sipping the water-and-wine that Rudy had handed me, the young knight wielding his sword glared at me.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke of Valen. What brings you here?”

It was a voice full of irritation.

“I came to see how well you guys trained. But it looks easier than I thought.”

The young knight gritted his teeth at my answer.

“Isn’t it just about wearing armor, running around, and swinging a sword? You’re panting after this level of training? It seems like you’re still lacking in training compared to your seniors.”

His face turned red and blue at my provocation.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke of Valen. You seem to be drunk. Your maid. Take your Highness back to the Red Moon Palace.”

“I’m not drunk.”

“Come to think of it, I heard that these days, Valen-nim doesn’t even properly check his room because he’s drunk.”

The young knight looked malicious.

“If I had gone, I would have checked even the angle of the blanket. It’s too bad.”

The tone of his voice clearly conveyed his desire to fu*k me.

“I am always grateful for your consideration. I am just grateful that you protect my body’s dream journey.”

I answered with a steel plate on my face.

“You are a drunkard, as the rumors say. You are lucky to have survived raiding His Majesty’s wine cellar.”

He openly laughed at me.

“You were lucky. But it seems like Kyung is not so lucky. Everyone else is resting, but you are still rolling around here.”

I calmly accepted the request according to the investigative method.

Eventually, the young knight spoke first.

“This drunkard is a bastard!”

“Only my maid and Your Majesty can call me that!”

I clenched my fist and pretended to get angry.

Rudy stood up to stop me, but I winked at her.

She sat back down with a worried look on her face.

“Valencia. I heard that you get drunk every day, beat your maids, and harass your royal cousins. If you know the shame, then go back and repent!”

The young knight saw Rudy and gritted his teeth and rebuked him.

Before we knew it, there were even rumors that he was harassing his cousins, the royal family. That’s great.

These rumors came together one by one to complete my image.

“You know me very well. Sir, do you have a younger sister or older sister?”

Even as I said it with my own mouth, my face turned red with shame.

If it hadn’t been for dinner, it would have been revealed that it was a lie.

But now it was evening, and I was good at acting.

“Have you ever seen such a piece of shit! How is it that a guy like you hasn’t been dragged out yet!”

I once again realized that the authority of the royal family has fallen to rock bottom.

There was no choice.

He is being treated as a potential traitor by the emperor, who is at the top of the royal family.

It was also something to be thankful for that I was treated with respect at first.

“I will teach you shame today.”

The young knight threw a steel gauntlet at my face.

I took a step back to dodge, then kicked the steel gauntlet out of the air and sent it flying back at the knight.

“Why do you want me to put such a crude object in my hand?”

The young knight burst into laughter and aimed his training sword at me.

Although it didn’t have a training blade, it was thick and heavy.

“Shut up and pick up your sword. I’m going to fix that messy hair today.”

It was like a boiling volcano.

I took off my white silk gloves and picked up the training sword that a senior knight had left behind.

At that moment, a young knight rushed forward.

His sword came down with the force of splitting my skull apart.

“under.”

I swung my sword outward, pushing away the young knight’s sword strike, and at the same time took a step back, putting some distance between us.

The young knight’s sword cut through the air.

He made a surprised expression and then rushed at me again.

He slashed diagonally, aiming for my arm.

I didn’t let my shoulders go forward and put strength into my legs.

Kang, the young knight’s sword and mine clashed and sparks flew.

I pushed the sword with my weight.

The condition of my seventeen-year-old body, which I had trained diligently based on my lineage and talent, was better than I thought.

I missed a body that didn’t creak whenever I moved.

I pushed his sword away, dug into his range, and kicked the young knight in the shin with my right foot.

He gritted his teeth in pain.

As the knight’s sword lost its strength, I released my left hand from the sword I was holding with both hands.

I grabbed the young knight’s right wrist and twisted it, pulling him towards me.

At the same time, he tripped and threw his foot on the ground.

The knight, who had been supporting the 30kg training plate armor with his exhausted body, lost his balance and ran towards the ground.

The sound of armor hitting the floor was loud.

“Sir. When are you going to teach me the numbers?”

I asked deliberately indifferently.

He jumped up, his eyes shining brightly.

“But I tried to see you as a member of the royal family.”

“You were trying to look after me? Didn’t you grit your teeth and rush at me, trying to split my head in half?”

He laughed and sarcastically, the opposite of what he had just said.

“Shut up!”

He fired an arrow-like stab.

It was so fast that I couldn’t keep up with it.

I turned my body as if I was being pulled and dodged.

Blood flowed from the side where he had been stabbed.

The young knight frowned.

Once again, an arrow-like stab flew in.

The combination of taking a step forward, stretching out his arms to cross the long distance, and taking another step forward and raising his slash felt natural.

But this time too, I avoided it as if I was being led.

The body was hot.

It felt like there were wires connected to each and every muscle fiber.

I could move much faster and stronger.

The sheep were poor, but I remembered how to move mana to strengthen my body.

He raised his sword and brought it down, suppressing the knight’s upward slash attack.

Iron clashed with iron, sparks flew, and the knight was pushed back.

I just kicked the ground and charged forward.

He gripped the sword handle tightly and thrust it into the center of the knight’s breastplate.

He felt a rebound as if he had hit a wall, and he was lifted up and rolled on the floor.

I looked down at my body, gasping for breath.

It was warm and powerful.

My body was so fresh before it was ruined by alcohol and drugs.

I felt like I could do anything.

I could clearly feel the intangible energy flowing through my blood.

It surrounds each muscle fiber with spider web-like elasticity and viscosity, cushioning shock, assisting movement, and strengthening muscle strength.

At that moment, the young knight, who had staggered to his feet, looked at me with cold eyes.

“Archduke Valen. Have you recently mastered the sword? To wield mana? This cannot be overlooked.”

No, wait a minute.
