I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character chapter 4

4. It seems that Her Highness the Princess is visiting the capital

1.

In fact, just because I suddenly realized the shocking truth about this world that I thought I was reincarnated in, my daily life, which was monotonous and ordinary, did not change.

Originally, a noble is a grasshopper whose job is to sit around. Even if they have their own difficulties, are they worse than the common people who are in charge of worker ants in this world?

Of course, our manor did not know anything else, but wheat production was so great that even commoners did not have to worry about starving. Most of the wheat is exported to other neighboring territories, and exporting food is a more powerful weapon than you think in the past or now.

Because there is a lot of wheat, even commoners do not starve, earn money by selling the wheat, sell the wheat, so that other territories around them cannot even dispute it, and accepting that exports are cut off, to dispute it is real wheat. There’s nothing left, so the only thing that comes out is puny money.

It is truly a cycle of miracles.

And unlike my mother, who is very interested in the lives of the people in the manor, I was virtually imprisoned in the mansion of Count Weiss just because I was an aristocrat.

It’s a bit strange to describe it as confinement, but it was strange for an unmarried man to wander around the outside in such a conservative society that it wouldn’t be strange to put a dog and ten numbers as a prefix. It doesn’t matter if you’re a commoner, but especially if you’re an aristocrat.

This society is so strange and extremely conservative that even the Confucian Taliban in me, who supports gender equality, shakes its head.

That’s why I can’t snoop around looking for a future wife while preparing to make my debut at a social club, laughing hahahahahah and elegantly having tea time like other aristocratic youngsiks in this world who have gone crazy somewhere.

So as a result, there was only one thing I could do.

“This is real.”

Every time you stretch out your hand, the surrounding mana naturally gathers to form a magic circle, and mana spreads from dozens of overlapping magic circles from your fingertips to your wrist.

And.

Kwaang-!

With a brief burst of sound, a ball of fire erupted from the garden in broad daylight, then disappeared.

It was a little louder than a firecracker, but no one came running to check it out in surprise. It’s because I didn’t do this one-to-day.

“Looks like you’re practicing magic again?”

“Isn’t it amazing? When you think of wizards, they usually have the image of confined to the mage tower and doing research.”

“In the first place, the boy was the first to see a wizard.”

Obviously, even the servants in the Weiss family’s mansion thought that was the case, and I could hear them chattering and passing by.

To be honest, I can’t objectively gauge how good my magic skills are right now, but at least it’ll be enough to protect me when I run away at night.

That’s also true of wizards.

Professional occupations are rare occupations in the past and now.

This was the reason I didn’t worry too much about my future until now. Even though he knew that noble Yeong-shik was 20 years old, he was already at an age where he had to find a place to marry as soon as possible.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Jung If you try to forcefully marry a woman you don’t know who you are, then you really have to leave the house.

You want me to be a hostess of an aristocrat, or a full-time housewife?

“It’s too much, too much.”

Wouldn’t it be impossible to try it?! You might say, but at least that’s how I think now.

Apart from adapting to living in this world for 20 years, my values and thinking were still fixed to those of my previous life, so the stay-at-home wife ending was a non-requirement here.

If you forcibly force a future hope that a high school boy with rotten eyes would like, write it.

In my room, I read magic books and learned theories, and when I came out to the garden, I was leading my usual daily life by reducing the power and using magic myself.

“Rudrick? Rudrick!”

“Mother?”

As soon as my mother saw me, she came running in a hurry with a somewhat shrill voice.

That nobleman is not the kind of nobleman who runs around like that, but what is this?

As she made a puzzled expression, her mother caught her breath and raised her voice.

“It’s in trouble, Rudrick! It’s in trouble!”

“Do you think something big happened all of a sudden? Did His Majesty confiscate the estate?”

“No… It’s not like that, but something similar came out.”

“If it’s something similar… Ah.”

A system message popped up. And among them, Princess Elena was clearly aware of the return, and she immediately came out saying that she had prepared an inspection of Count Weiss’s family.

If it’s something that would startle my mother like this, I’m sure……

“An official letter has come down from the capital saying that Her Highness, the 2nd Princess, is inspecting our territory!”

“…….”

That’s right.

My expectations were not wrong. And why did my mother come to tell me this news in such a fright as if a fire had fallen on her feet.

It seems like he’s been emphasizing it repeatedly, but it’s not common for the imperial family to visit such a humble rural estate. Rather, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing if you only count the frequency.

A normal person would have an ambition to enter the central political world by forming a bond with the royal family who went on an inspection or the personnel accompanying the royal family, but that is only possible at a certain level.

This is an impossible story in a place like our estate where all we have is wheat and a watermill.

As an analogy, let’s say it feels like a division commander suddenly rises up in the army and inspects it.

“How could this happen all of a sudden…”

“I will.”

There was not much I could say to my mother, who seemed nervous and flustered.

Well, you can’t say that her son-in-law was the cause, standing sullenly in front of her eyes. If that were the case, no matter how good my mother was, she would grab my shoulder and shake it like a spinner.

Well, so how should we solve this situation?

In fact, you need to have experience in all of these things to prepare neatly. In particular, our estate is a real rural area, so there will never be one for generations.

“Anyway, since you said you’re arriving today, you should hurry up and get ready.”

“Eh, it arrives today? Didn’t the official letter come down today in the first place, mother?”

“They say they’re coming today, so what will they do? I’m not ready, so I can’t ask for an ending.”

“That’s true, but… Isn’t this completely hasty administration?”

“Uh huh, how could you be so disrespectful?”

But at the mention of today, I was quite taken aback.

If you send an official letter today and say you are coming today, what kind of official letter is that? It’s just a notice to know that I’ll be there later.

In the meantime, the strict mother clicked her tongue at the useless part again, but she seemed to just ignore it because it was her case.

“If Her Highness comes later, be careful with your mouth. I know you’re not like a man.”

“Of course I don’t say this in front of the imperial family. But do I have to keep my seat too?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“What about the review ceremony?”

“How many knights are there in my family?”

“There isn’t one. Why do we hire knights like privates? There aren’t many monsters. It’s good if people around you don’t check on you just because you’re raising a private.”

“You know very well. But why did you ask?”

Aha.

It was a wise answer.

If you read something like a novel, there are about 20,000 knights in a duchy. There are superhumans like sword masters who are only one party, but they dare to gather a million troops and fight inefficiently.

Anyway, while this world is a novel, it is realistic in a strange place.

I shrugged my shoulders and politely gave up. If there are no brazen knights, I, a nobleman, will have to take them off with my body.

Of course, it’s a world like this, so it’s kind of strange to say that you can remove it with your body.

“Anyway, let’s go up and get ready quickly. I told my maid, so the attendants will prepare the clothes. Hurry up and wash up and get ready.”

“Are you all right?”

My mother was silent for a moment at my question, which had multiple implications. Then she replied with a puzzled look on her face.

“I don’t know either.”

I see.

I nodded and quietly headed towards the mansion. As long as Princess Elena’s purpose for the inspection was me, there was no way to avoid it, and if you think about it, she had no reason to avoid it.

Perhaps the other four heroines will also come to visit me, but if I think I’m going to get vaccinated as Princess Elena before that, there’s no reason to avoid it like an idiot.

“Your Highness, how are you in such a hurry?”

“Do you think I’m impatient?”

“I dare say… Yes, it is.”

It was a procession of the imperial family. Even if she is not the 1st princess, but the 2nd princess, who is a bit far from the top, assuming that the emperor and the princess have a misfortune at the same time, she is the closest to the throne in case of emergency.

Of course, it took quite a while for the attendants to prepare, but Elena didn’t want to wait that long either.

But I was fully aware that my current appearance would look strange to others. It was to the extent that Cherin, the escort knight who always stood by her faithfully like now, asked a question directly with her questionable face.

But it’s a big deal that others see her now as strange.

‘…… Rudrick.’

As long as I could meet Rudric again, I wouldn’t mind being looked upon as strange by others. Rather, it is a business that can be endured enough and is eaten cheaply.

With the status of an imperial princess, she could have anything she wanted.

Her other nobles whispered that she had her tyrannical qualities, but she couldn’t help her natural disposition, which, if she wanted anything, she must put it in her hands. Because there wasn’t

But she said that if there was one thing she didn’t have all the way through, she was just one person.

‘I’ll go see you soon.’

Princess Elena muttered to herself and clenched her fists. She worked so hard that the rest of her hand turned white and trembled.

Princess Elena, who inherited her imperial lineage more strongly than her sister, had it all.

Her outstanding appearance, supreme status, and even her unique abilities.

But until the end, only one of her men, Ludrick Weiss, did not allow her heart. He didn’t exactly choose her.

And I wish she lived happily ever after choosing someone else for her rather than her.

It would be enough just to watch from the sidelines…….

“She used to think so.”

“Yes?”

“Nothing. When will the moving magic circle activate?”

“The Wizards of the Mage Tower have informed me that preparations have been completed.”

“Good.”

Helena quietly shuddered.

Now we can meet again. A cheeky boy who disobeyed the strict imperial order and left without permission.

Disobeying the emperor’s orders is stipulated as a felony under imperial law, punishable by the maximum penalty. What kind of punishment should I give you for violating the first and last order I gave you?

Helena’s lips drew an arc.

“Sherin. I’m planning on staying in the Earl of Weiss for a few days. If there’s something to be done in the capital, you don’t have to attend.”

“……How many days?”

“Yes.”

“There’s nothing to do in the capital, so I’ll take care of your Highness. But if it’s just a simple inspection, why would you stay in the Earl of Weiss for a few days…”

She Lynn blurted out her words. As an escorted status, it is natural for her to enshrine the target she needs to protect.

But because I couldn’t understand my master, who on a whim decided to inspect a country estate he’d never heard of, and now announced that he would stay there for a few days.

Elena, who saw through the truth, smiled faintly.

“Well, you’ll find out when you get there.”
