Chapter 516 – [I Became the Third Prince]

Leticia Brel, whom I have seen over the past few days, is certainly capable.

The aptitude for this ability was low, but even so, other abilities were not inferior. Rather, I thought that other abilities were outstanding as much as they fell.

He was good at literature, mathematics, history, and various other studies…… He had his own knowledge in the liberal arts.

“But why don’t you teach liberal arts?”

“Because I, a commoner, dare not teach your Highness manners.”

“Ah”

I hadn’t even thought of that until now. No, I’m only a prince cosplayer, and I’m not a prince.

The arrogant mind that puts you down is not very common when you are working as the Great Demon King. So even if I get into a fight on the street, I call the police and I don’t go out with my fists.

It seems that education is taught separately by calling a private tutor. Maybe this time, even if it’s a fallen noble, it’s for a noble.

For a few days, she figured out my level and put together an educational curriculum with just the right pace and level. Seeing that it was not a simple injection, but a customized education, I, a natural Korean, cried madly.

No, it might be natural for a private tutor.

“Your Majesty’s intelligence belongs to the excellent side. However, since the application skills are a bit lacking, it would be better to deepen and learn the applied part.”

“If that’s the case, I know that well…”

“……?”

I know myself well. Of course, there may be some things I don’t understand, but at least I know about intelligence.

To put it bluntly, I’m an asshole.

Oh, of course, the head is transcendental, so the intelligence is excellent. At least, the ability of ‘sensation’ allows you to get clues to solve and derive answers with your intuition even while solving problems.

However, if you think purely about the intelligence of the brain, it falls. What should I say……. Hardware (brain) is quite good, but software (intelligence) is inferior?

No matter how good a computer is, will it run well when running old programs? Oh, of course, it will work well if it goes back, but there is a clear limit to it.

“Let’s finish here for today. It’s meal time soon…”

“Oh, is it lunchtime already?”

She had been face-to-face with her for a few days, but she and I hadn’t been close.

She treated me very businesslikely. I wondered if the score was negative at the first meeting, but it seems to be that kind of personality.

With this kind of personality, a non-mainstream department, and from a commoner background… It’s just the right style to cheat hatred. It’s good to see why you came to this place.

“I always eat at a restaurant, but this time, why don’t we eat together?”

“Yes? To have a meal facing someone like me, I don’t think I’m worthy because I’m from a lowly background…”

“Even though he was a commoner, he is now a teacher who teaches me. It’s worth facing enough. If not, do you think that’s how you value yourself?”

“That……”

Leticia, speechless for a moment, quickly accepted her offer to eat.

“Yes, I understand… But I heard that Your Highness is now turning 7 years old. Is that true?”

“Doesn’t it look the same age?”

“Honestly, yes. It is.”

Eat well, rest well, and honestly, if you’re at my level, you’ll grow up without exercise. Now I will be much taller than other kids my age.

Of course, even thinking about that, it’s roughly the level of a lower grade in elementary school, but when you think of a five or six-year-old child at the level of a toddler, it’s certain that he’s a bit precocious. In the first place, the head is transcendent.

I hope my body grows to some extent and quickly becomes an adult. You can become an adult right now, but sooner is never better.

“If you ate at the restaurant in the Emerald Palace, you would know, but the chef in our palace is good. You can expect it.”

Personally, the reason why I generously sprinkle cooking secrets to Chef Walter is that he likes people, but that is the biggest reason.

Do you need a big reason for a deceased person to raise a newbie?

Oh, there is nothing to do with content!!! I need to raise a newbie!!!

Anyway, there is a restaurant used by the servants of the palace, but it is better to cook fewer dishes. At least jjambab, which cooks hundreds of servings per meal, tastes different from the rice at the Nonsan Training Center and the rice at the place where one platoon cooks.

Besides, since Chef Walter, who has been handed down the secret recipe from me, makes it himself… I feel proud of myself as his skills improve day by day.

“I brought you a meal”

Soon, the lunch brought by the ladies-in-waiting arrived. This time it wasn’t for one person, but for two, so it wasn’t Walter, but the other ladies-in-waiting brought it themselves.

However.

One of the ladies-in-waiting brought the dish, but stumbled and tripped.

Since it’s for two people, it’s inevitable that someone else brought it. Mistakes are something anyone can make. Even when it matters, mistakes are made.

I used her ability to control the handmaiden’s falling behavior, fixed the dish that was about to fall in the air, and restored it to its original state.

Seeing that, people other than me are surprised. No, it’s something that can only be taken for granted.

Still, I wonder if she has a knack for improvisation. When I controlled her with her telekinesis, controlling her cooking and her maid, she flinched but didn’t show much reaction.

“No?!”

Leticia noticed something was wrong after seeing her handmaid’s movements stopped in midair, but she said.

After a quiet meal, we noticed the general behavior. Leticia is wary of me, and I have come to observe such Leticia from a slight distance.

“Your Highness”

Letissaa, who was quietly enjoying her meal, asked.

“Is Your Highness a daydreamer?”

“I think it’s a bit strange to skip to a dreamer and not a dreamer.”

It was after I learned from Hans that people with fantasy abilities come next. It’s not strange for her to ask her outright because she’s a daydreamer, but she questions it when she asks because she’s a daydreamer.

“Originally, a fantasy person is a special being. No matter how much I graduated from the general department, it doesn’t mean I don’t have knowledge in the fantasy ability department.”

Apparently, there seems to be quite a difference between a dreamer and a dreamer.

It’s something different than simple, so the difference is even if it’s next.

“It often happens that a daydreamer is defeated by a daydreamer. A daydreamer’s self-daydream often transcends age.”

“Hmm”

What she said was rather interesting. Imagination power is a theory about an unidentified supernatural ability.

It’s only natural that you’d be interested in this.

“It is not uncommon for a dreamer with long experience to beat a dreamer. Even if Your Highness is a dreamer…”

Apparently, a fancy person has a personality that specializes in one thing, and a person with fancy ability means that the overall specs are above.

“You won’t have to worry about that”

Those who have the ability to dream or dreamers are below me. Even if it is a dragon in this world, the phantom, who is on the same level as me, is a monster who has killed 10,000 dragons. No, there’s nothing I can’t kill if I’m determined.

Dragons are considered an endangered species because of their offspring, and killing them will become a nuisance…

Dimensional civilization is so annoying!!!!

“Through the lady-in-waiting, you even made such a show of force against someone like me. What purpose does Her Highness have?”

“Yes?”

To be honest, my purpose is nothing special.

There was nothing other than living quietly until the next emperor ascended the throne, living in a quiet territory somewhere and facing the end.

When he came to Zion, he had no other purpose other than to die quietly while living with him. Hmm… Even if the Absolute of Destiny told me that I would be busy in this life, in the end I wouldn’t give a damn from the beginning.

“Honestly, I have no purpose.”

“Yes?”

“No, I want to become emperor, do you think I have such a grand purpose?”

“Normally……”

“What are you going to do after becoming emperor? Do you think it would be meaningful to obtain a damning position with power that puts others under you?”

I don’t really care about my current position.

After all, I am a reincarnated person. If anything, do you think it would be meaningful to think of someone like the emperor who can aim for a chance saying ‘next time!’?

No, power doesn’t mean much in the first place. I just have it, so it’s just what I have.

I’ve never met Buddha, but to give an example, it’s gongsulae gongsugeo. How to come empty-handed and leave empty-handed… It’s a meaningless story because I’ll get something in this life and I have a next life no matter what.

“It’s enough for me as long as the people around me are fine. I know very well that I’m not good at being like an emperor, so I think it’ll be okay if I just step back and take care of my people and leave.”

“……Are you sure?”

“You think I’d lie to you? Right now?”

“…….”

Leticia thought for a moment and then nodded her head. It means you agree with my opinion.

If I had to pick the most important goal in a power struggle, I could pick one.

Survival.

Only surviving is justice. Even if the other competitor survives and doesn’t die, there is a chance someday. Of course, that’s not my goal, but I have to be alive to achieve the goal I want.

Isn’t it supposed to live until the end of the succession to the throne!!!!

“Ah…….”

“I’m not asking for help. I’m not even going to say that in the first place.”

“Then I am saying that…”

“At least you’re not the kind of person to tell anyone about it.”

I didn’t believe anyone who could be exposed anywhere. In the first place, I only believe because I can trust it.

To say? That’s my fault for not seeing it properly. I can’t help it.

“Let’s start with a meal. First of all, we’ll be able to talk with something.”

Today’s menu consisted of risotto and pudding for dessert. Oh, of course, pudding is Hong Kong-style rather than Japanese-style.

It’s a creamy risotto with chicken and cream, so it feels a little flat, but it’s savory enough and it tastes good in your mouth. What’s more, the pudding eaten as a dessert afterwards is not just a simple pudding, but a pudding made by adding only milk to ginger juice.

Is there pudding in this world? If it’s Western-based, there will be something like ginger ale, so ginger will be basically there. Juice it, add a spoonful of it, add slightly hot milk, and steam it, and it hardens without gelatin.

“…….Ah!!!!”

Leticia took a bite of the risotto and exclaimed. It seems to suit your taste.

Chef Walter was still serving bland dishes, even though he could now eat more than just liquids. No, I don’t know if this side tasted it or if it was just doing it, but anyway, it was good.

The effect seems to affect her as well, and she feels the savory taste and chewy taste unique to risotto.

For reference, risotto feels like porridge or soup, but actually has a slightly chewy taste. It is cooked in the unique al dente way of pasta, so you can feel it because the core is alive.

It’s light, tasty and soft. Thanks to that, Leticia quickly finished her meal and let out a sigh.

“It seems to suit your taste.”

“…….Ah”

She flinched as if she had made a mistake and let out a moan of her own. No, honestly, as is natural, even in the military, there is an absurdity to eat at the pace of seniors.

It’s easy to understand if you put it in the perspective of commoners and royalty. If you can’t keep up with the eating pace of the imperial family and eat it all by yourself and wait, that alone will be a burden to the other person.

But instead, I ate with a smile. I ate a little faster thinking of her, but she was only at the pace of eating the porridge-like risotto. Well, the rice was delicious today, heuk heuk.

“Shall we have dessert one last time?”

“Yes”

The pudding was cold. No, personally, I like cold desserts to cool my stomach.

It’s a pudding with only two ingredients, ginger and milk, but it smells really good. I can feel the savory taste of milk and the spicy taste of ginger at the same time.

After a while, take a spoonful and eat it, and you can feel the scent of ginger. The slightly astringent and spicy taste of ginger lingers on the tongue.

However, after passing two or three spoons, the taste of ginger disappears and only the savory taste remains. No matter how much ginger is added, most of the amount is milk. The taste of that milk… Well, the milk here is more savory instead. Delicious.

“……..”

Leticia ate the pudding with enthusiasm. It seems to taste in your mouth.

“Are you fine?”

“……Yes”

When I asked, she answered, swallowing the pudding she was savoring in her mouth.

“Even the meals at high-end restaurants I visited during my time at the academy weren’t quite like this…”

“Maybe it’s natural”

No matter how much he was sent into exile, he is still the head chef of the imperial family. I have basic skills, and I am improving my skills by learning my secrets, but there is no way that the level is low.

It seems that she is eating her rice without thinking, it is more delicious than I imagined. Well, honestly, it’s good.

Anyway, I think I looked into her nature a little bit. I smiled slightly while eating the pudding.

Also delicious is the truth.
