The match with Lucia was over.
If you just look at the result, I won hands down. In the end, she couldn’t do anything and lost.
As I watched Lucia lying on the ground being cared for by her mother–Cornelia suddenly embraced me.
Her arms were around me from behind as if to restrain me.
“Y-your Highness Cornelia?”
“Fufu. Ahaha ! I’m impressed with you, Luca. I could tell just by looking at the match you just played. You’re even stronger than her, the one who was being hailed as a genius.”
“You won’t know that until I fight.”
“No, I know that. Was it Lucia? She was also very strong. I am confident that you can win. But she can’t beat Luca. My instincts are telling me that no matter what she does, she can’t beat you.”
Really? Just knowing that, I knew that she was very strong.
It seems like she can win against Lucia, and personally, I’d like to cross swords with her right away…but that’s not the situation.
Besides, turning on the imperial family is tantamount to treason. The time to lash out was not now.
I’m going to drive the evil thoughts out of my head.
“I’m really happy. Hey, Luca.”
“Yes.”
“You’re free after this, right?”
“There’s a party.”
Your father’s hosting it.
“What do I care about a party? We’re just going to have a trash conversation and that’s it. It’s a waste of time.”
“If the Emperor hears you, he’ll be furious.”
“I’m fine. I am expected by my father. I’m not going to do it, though.”
“So? If I had the time, what would you like me to do?”
“Go to my room. I have something to tell you.”
“Something you want to tell me? Can’t you do it here?”
“No, I can’t. I’m so embarrassed !”
“Embarrassed?”
What the hell is she going to say?
I’m a little curious…….
I glance over to my father.
“My Lord. Her Highness Cornelia has something for me. May I leave for a moment?”
“Is that so? …..Fine. If His Highness asks for you, it cannot be helped. I will take care of the rest.”
“Thank you.”
I received permission from Lucius, the head of the family. I’m fine with missing the party now.
Cornelia was right, I have no interest in the party itself. In a way, it was convenient.
I was able to gauge Lucia’s ability, and thanks to her attack, I learned what magic is all about.
I’m confident that I can control magic power now.
I smiled inwardly and replied to Cornelia.
“Your Highness. The master has given his permission, so let’s move to the room. I will listen to what you have to say.”
“Yay ! This way.”
The restraint by the arm was released.
However, right after that, I was grabbed by the arm and pulled.
I was forcibly taken away by her.
☆
Guided by Cornelia, I entered her room.
It was a very empty room.
The interior is too plain. It was as if she didn’t care about fashion or people’s eyes.
Just sleep and wake up. That’s all there is to it.
“Is this…Your Highness Cornelia’s room?
“Yes, it is～. Are you surprised that it’s simpler than you thought it would be?”
“Yes, well.”
“That’s no wonder. No matter how much you decorate a room, it’s still a room after all. It doesn’t make much difference whether it’s beautiful or shabby.”
She tugged on my arm further.
I was pushed down onto the bed.
“I think we should do something naughty now.”
She was on top of me, and her face was somewhat bewitching, not unlike a child’s. She pulled off her dress with great vigor and made a thousand faces.
She vigorously rips off her dress.
I can see her white, smooth skin. Her underwear was stylishly black.
You’re the same age as me, aren’t you?
“What are you trying to do, Your Highness?”
“Hm? Aren’t you excited?”
“What do you expect from an eight-year-old?”
“That’s obvious ! My father once told me that as a princess, it is my duty to give birth to the best child I can.”
“Haa”
“So why don’t I have a child with Luca, who has the greatest talent?”
“So that’s what Your Highness thought.”
“Yes ! Correct !”
Her Highness Cornelia raised one hand and smiled innocently.
I let out a deep sigh.
“Her Royal Highness Cornelia is probably only eight years old… Even if you could have a baby, please don’t. If you are reckless, you will die.”
Medical technology is not as advanced on this world as it was on the previous Earth. It is common for people to die at the same time as giving birth.
I can still help because I can use my divine power, but it’s impossible for an eight-year-old to be a mother.
“Muu. I thought you would say something like that. It was a joke.”
“But your eyes were serious.”
“It’s acting. I have more important things to talk about.”
“Is that what this is about?”
“Yeah. I have been alone for a long time.”
Her Imperial Highness Cornelia began to speak in a small voice.
I listened quietly.
“No one can catch up with me. My brother and sister are ordinary people. I’ve even won against adults, you know? But that’s why I couldn’t open up to anyone.”
There was a slight sadness in Cornelia’s expression.
Is it that so-called difference in intelligence that prevents us from having a conversation?
Or maybe many of them had their hearts broken by her strength.
So Cornelia distanced herself from them. Deciding that she was special and others were inferior.
Well, she’s not wrong. She is in fact a genius. If only for her talent, she might be the best among the main characters.
“I was wondering if I was going to be alone and grow stronger…….when I heard about Luca’s story.”
“You mean I’m as talented as you?”
“Yeah ! And I was wrong. Luca is more than me ! I wasn’t alone, and I still had a long way to go to the top!”
She was so happy to hear that.
She raised her hands in a joyous pose.
“Thank you, Luka. For giving me hope. Thank you, Luka, for rescuing me.”
“I didn’t do anything.”
“I’m just glad you exist. Let’s get married in the future. Let’s have the best children ever !”
“I refuse.”
It was starting to get hard so I forced her onto the bed.
She gets up and I get off the bed.
“Don’t you like me? Do you find me a pain in the ass?”
“I don’t like people who take advantage of the weak and are too picky. If anything, your highness is one of my favorites.”
“Really !? Then, if I become stronger, will you marry me?”
“Eh? I’ll think positively about it.”
To be honest, I have no desire to get married.
Even though I want to be the strongest, it doesn’t mean I want to be the head of the Duke of Salvatore family.
So it doesn’t matter if I don’t have a partner for the rest of my life.
“Yay ! You promise? Even if I can’t beat Luca, I’ll beat everyone except Luca. I’ll kill anyone who gets in my way, and I’ll do anything for Luca.”
I felt the highlights disappear from Cornelia’s eyes.
She has a somewhat moist atmosphere and an expression of ecstasy.
–Bzzzt.
I felt a strange pressure that sent chills down my back.
What was that?
“Let’s just get dressed and go back to the party. The party venue might be in a bit of a commotion right now.”
“Is that so?”
“The Dukes are all gone.”
At least Lucia is not in the mood for a party anymore.
“Hmph. I don’t care.”
While saying this, she calls for the maid.
I left the room and waited in the hallway for her to finish her preparations.
In the end, a lot happened.
☆
A corner of the imperial capital, a residential area.
When the commoners had gone to bed, a boy was still swinging a wooden sword, even though it was late at night.
Sweat dripped down his face and his golden hair shook violently.
“Seven more….years to go ! After seven years, the….institute’s entrance exam will be held ! The entrance examination ! It will begin !”
The wooden sword makes a clattering sound each time it slices through the air.
The boy, perhaps running out of energy after a little while, unshackled himself and rolled on the ground.
Sweaty, he looked up at the night sky.
“I’m definitely going to enroll. For that purpose, I won’t waste even a second ! I’m going to get promoted, become stronger than anyone else, and become a true hero !”
He made a fist with his outstretched right hand.
The boy’s green eyes were filled with strong determination and confidence.
He is the one who will be the hero of this world–.
