How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives chapter 132

‘There are so many nobles.’

Leo walked and looked around.

Since it was a victory banquet hosted by the emperor himself, there were a lot of people.

There were also some familiar faces among them.

Count Guillotine, Countess Hermery.

The two of them were surrounded by various nobles and wizards, and when they recognized Leo, they greeted each other warmly.

In the meantime, the pupils of the two people shook greatly once.

Leo chuckled.

‘Did you notice.’

He must have recognized that he had reached the fifth rank.

In particular, Countess Hermery showed excitement enough to be revealed on the outside.

The promise she and Leo made.

After becoming a 5th class and learning frost tracking, he decided to find the man who killed her husband.

She tried to get closer to Leo, leaving the surrounding nobles behind.

However, at that time, there was someone who moved one step ahead of her.

He was a black-haired nobleman.

“… King Karst?”

Prince Bahelm muttered in surprise when he saw Leo.

He was usually expressionless, but this time his composure was shattered.

The nobles nearby knew for the first time that Bahelm’s face could change so colorfully.

– Jerking away.

Bahelm approached Leo.

Leo also looked at him as he approached.

Of course Leo knew who he was.

Black hair, uncommon on the continent. The hair that was so common in Korea was really rare here.

If there was a cold-looking young man with cold green eyes in the banquet hall, there was only one protagonist.

“Nice to meet you, Lord Bahelm. My name is Leo Asian Rom Karst.”

Leo bowed according to etiquette.

No matter how much he is a member of the royal family, Bahelm, the honorary duke of the Empire, is not at all behind in terms of status.

No, rather, it was a status that he had achieved himself by becoming a 7th-class mage, so in a way, it could be said that he was more noble than Leo.

In any case, Leo’s status now is only that of the kingdom’s youngest prince.

“… Nice to meet you too.”

“By the way, did you just call me King Karst?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Bahelm kept his mouth shut.

However, Leo was sure he hadn’t heard wrong.

‘Are you sure. He obviously said I was the king of Karst.’

It is the progenitor known to have died 300 years ago.

No matter how much hair and eye color are the same, if you mistake it for someone else, you will be mistaken for a dead person?

A historical figure who died a long time ago and can only be seen as a portrait?

does that make sense

Other possibilities are probably higher than that.

for example… Have you ever met a living karst king!

‘This guy. must be Just like the Garibaldi I met before, I know that the Great King of Karst is alive.’

Leo’s eyes lit up.

It seems that there is a way to solve the question that has been cut since the last time I met Garibaldi.

Bahelm was restored to his usual expression before he knew it.

The confused look he had just a moment ago had completely calmed down.

He, one head taller than Leo, muttered as he looked down at Leo.

“Brilliant.”

“… … ?”

“I commend you for your noble talent.”

Leo looked at him.

The other wizards who were listening to the two people’s conversations opened their mouths wide.

“Bah, has there ever been someone whom Prince Bahelm praised so highly?”

“Even when I first saw Countess Ermery, all I could do was nod and say, ‘It’s okay.’ .”

As befits the best human wizard, his eyes were extremely high.

Even wizards who were quite talented in the empire were prone to handling air.

At least, he had to be a 6th-class wizard to accept the conversation to some extent, and if he was below that level, he ignored it unless his talent was really special.

That is why Countess Ermeri, whom Bahelm spoke to first, was considered more special.

But, such a tribute to Leo.

Since Prince Bahelm wouldn’t say such a thing even to the emperor’s son, I couldn’t help but be more surprised.

“Thank you for your words. It is an honor for me to meet the greatest mage.”

Leo grinned.

“I’d like to have a time to talk about gong and magic in the near future. How are you?”

“… I’m looking forward to it.”

Prince Bahelm nodded once and left the banquet hall.

It was rude since the emperor hadn’t entered yet, but no one pointed it out.

Rather, what he left at the end became a hot topic.

“… Look. did you just hear What did Prince Bahelm say at the end?”

“Are you looking forward to it?”

“Huh. I know he’s never said anything like that to a wizard… .”

The nobles stared at him blankly.

* * *

After Bahelm’s departure, the banquet grew more and more ripe.

Rather, there was no one who focused everyone’s attention, so a more natural atmosphere was created.

Most of the attention went to Leo, but not as much as when Prince Bahelm was around.

Numerous nobles surrounded Leo.

“Lowering. Rumors of degradation have been heard even in the capital of this empire.”

“The prestige of being a future archmage is well deserved.”

“I’ve never seen someone that Prince Bahelm treats like that.”

A young genius endorsed by the best wizard!

The eyes of the nobles looking at Leo were favorable.

There was nothing lacking in terms of status or skills.

I was full of intentions to become friends somehow.

Just like that, Leo was surrounded by numerous nobles.

However, there was no way that there were many nobles who could occupy the surrounding area.

Seats are limited, but there are a lot of people.

Naturally, it had no choice but to spread around.

And next to Leo, if not as much as Leo, weren’t there outstanding figures gathered?

Ellis, Kizan, and even Hanson, who was the commander.

The nobles found a new target and their eyes lit up.

“oh. You are Princess Alice. hello. I was surprised when I first saw the princess. I never thought there would be such a beautiful person… .”

“This silky silver hair. pearly eyes. Even after a few years, there will be a line of men who want to see the princess.”

“Chemm. It seems to be from now, not from several years. Look over there.”

A certain noble pointed to the corner of the banquet hall.

Young aristocrats were standing here, unable to bear it, but most of the men’s eyes were fixed on Ellis.

Alice’s age is currently only 13 years old.

However, it seemed to be a characteristic of the Roman royal family by 1-2 years older.

That’s why the young aristocratic children can’t get out of her charm.

Her surroundings also gradually began to be filled with nobles.

Some nobles also approached Kizan.

“Isn’t the person next to you Kizan?”

“Hmm. exactly. Have you heard any rumors about me?”

Kizan’s eyes twinkled when he saw the nobleman talking to him.

Leo and Alice. The two younger brothers were receiving great attention from the nobles.

Of these, the most grown-up himself would not be inferior to the two of them!

“Ah, yes. In the past, you were such a crazy person… .”

“… … ?”

“Hmm. But I think I know how wrong rumors can be. It doesn’t look like a mess at all.”

“… … .”

Kizan put on a blank expression.

Are you insulting me now? Or do you turn it around?

And like royalty, Hanson, the last commander of the Volunteer Army, was welcomed by various nobles.

Even delegations usually don’t get this much attention, but thanks to Leo, they became the center of this banquet hall for a while.

It was a time when the atmosphere was getting more and more ripe.

[The Sun of the Great Empire. Father of subjects. Roy Dione Cardian His Majesty Emperor Navarre II.]

The door opened wide with the loud cry of the chamberlain.

At the same time, the emperor’s escorts entered first.

5 knights, 3 wizards.

After examining that aspect, Leo stuck out his tongue.

‘It’s like an emperor’s escort. The level is no joke.’

All five knights were sword masters, and all wizards were at the 6th rank level.

Each one of them is the strongest, not being pushed by the Duke of Lyant or the Marquis of Merverd.

They gathered like this to escort one emperor.

Soon after, the emperor entered.

– Jerking away.

“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”

The nobility set an example in unison.

The Rom Kingdom envoys, including Leo, were also the same.

Even if you look at the king of a small kingdom, you should be polite, much less the emperor of a huge empire who plays the role of the leader of humans.

The emperor entered the banquet hall with dignified steps.

Leo looked at him without being too explicit.

‘indeed… . The author is the emperor of this generation… .’

I’ve seen it a few times with illustrations in the game.

The current emperor was a gentle character and a man of peace.

He had a soft smile on his lips to match that, and the dignity and atmosphere of a king that emanated even when he was still was overwhelming the surroundings.

‘I knew the emperor was an ordinary person, but as expected, something is different.’

Although he has mastered the sword a little, the level of an emperor is at the level of a sword expert.

However, rather than the sword masters and 6th-class mages escorting them around, a stronger presence emanated from them.

The emperor crossed the middle of the banquet hall.

Then… .

“… … ?”

I stood in front of Leo.

Leo was taken aback for a moment.

what? Why did you even come here?

said the emperor.

“We welcome the envoys from the Kingdom of Rome.”

“thank you. It is an honor for me to meet the Emperor as well.”

Leo greeted as a representative.

“Prince Leo Essian Rom Karst.”

“… … ? It is an honor that you know my name.”

It was quite embarrassing.

I haven’t even introduced myself yet, but I thought the emperor would show interest by calling me by name first.

“I heard before coming. You said you made an appointment to meet with Bahelm at a later date?”

oh I knew because of that.

Certainly, it seems that the prestige of a 7th class mage is great.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Just because he was interested in me, to think that the emperor would approach me first like this.

Leo said humbly.

“I did, but maybe Prince Bahelm just said it.”

“He’s never a liar.”

The emperor smiled and took Leo with him himself.

“First, enjoy the banquet. I came in and spoiled the mood. Everyone drink.”

As the emperor passed by, he raised his glass and toasted the nobles.

Leo looked at him and laughed inwardly.

‘When I saw the text in the game, the emperor was said to be a person without a sense of authority… That’s just how it feels.’

* * *

The emperor treated Leo with a very favorable attitude.

Throughout the banquet, I sat next to him and talked about this and that.

At first, it was about magic, but as we talked a little, the field became more diverse.

International situation, politics, economy, etc.

Leo was a member of the royal family who was studying royal studies, and because he was armed with future knowledge, he was able to have a rough conversation with the emperor.

“So. Do you think there will always be a war in the future?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Our Julis Empire and allies are wide-eyed? Besides, the war promise from 300 years ago is still valid.”

“Of course, an all-out war will not be easy. However, the different races of the Abyss are not the ones to leave this place so easily. I will probably poke it in different ways.”

There is a place like Casein Guild as a representative example.

In fact, they instigate a war in the shadows, and in the future, provocations such as local wars will occur frequently.

‘Then, if there’s no luck later, a war will break out in earnest.’

Before, the future depended on how you played the game.

It will probably be the same now.

“Hmm… . A threat from beneath the surface… .”

The emperor stroked his beard, saying that it was plausible.

He glanced at Leo and said.

“Did you say you’re 12 now?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Your knowledge is excellent. And even being a skilled mage. My youngest daughter is now 3 years old. Are you thinking of getting married?”

“… Yes?”

Leo doubted his ears for a moment.

I beg your pardon?
