“hmm…”
Arin looked at me with suspicious eyes. I looked at her confidently without averting her eyes because the lie was passively installed.
She tilted her head, left the water and went to get a meal.
“Come to think of it… I didn’t recommend it that much in the novel either.”
Even in the novel, it was written to get some sleep, except when it was unavoidable. Since this world is also a novel, I thought it might not be different.
From today, I think I need to sleep at least a little bit.
Arin brought me a meal when I was lying on the bed and rolling around because something was a waste.
“Let’s eat first.”
“Yeah. Thank you.”
I definitely told Peru to put the poison in, but I wondered if it was put in properly.
“where…”
[You ingested poison (Hanyangcho).]
[Mandogja telegraph machine absorbs poison (Hanyangcho).]
[The performance of Mandokja Telegraph has risen.]
[The proficiency of Weak Paralysis Poison has risen.]
Perhaps thanks to the added poison, the soup tasted more intense than yesterday. The achievement of internal air and the proficiency of paralysis poison were also rising more than yesterday.
“You’re not complaining anymore.”
“If you eat this, you will become stronger.”
“That’s right. It will definitely help.”
“Yes. Yes.”
At my words, Arin nodded his head broadly. The meaning Arin said and the meaning I said were completely different, but she wouldn’t know.
“Then let’s go.”
“Princess, are you worried about something?”
“worry?”
“You haven’t slept for two days.”

It’s really surprising that Arin even worries about this.
“Are you worried?”
“Uh, no, it’s not like that.”
Arin, who was a bit restless, shook his head and returned to his expressionless expression.
“It’s not like I didn’t sleep at all, so let’s go to the training ground. I’ll sleep properly today.”
“All right.”
Arin didn’t say anything more and went outside to pack up his training materials. When Arin went out, I played the characteristic Sacheondangga.
“Today is important.”
Today, it’s Sichuan Tangga’s turn to unlock new abilities.
“You have to run well to live.”
learn to step
Sacheondangga is a munpa that uses poison and memorization, so it is very important to keep distance from the enemy. Thanks to that, their gyeonggong and footwork are called Murim Iljeol, which is not inferior to any school.
“Little Dragon Earth Treasure…”
Soryongjibo Sacheondangga – It was the highest step in martial arts – walking. There were footsteps with much more impressive names under them, but I couldn’t learn them.
In order to learn a higher-level step, you must raise the proficiency of a lower-level step.
[You have acquired the Soryongjibo.]
I had no choice but to learn from Soryongjibo. At the same time as the message that he had learned the Soryongjibo, the way to walk with the Soryongjibo was engraved in his head, just like when he learned the Mandokja Telegraph.
“It’s comfortable.”
A very smart method that applies immediately after learning martial arts was being applied.
[Sorryongjibo 1 star 0%]
I tried to walk around the gymnasium by applying the walking method of Soryongjibo that had been stuck in my head. It was my first time, but my feet were moving naturally as I had done before.
“uh!”
My foot was bent at an odd angle that I wouldn’t normally go back to, but there was no pain, and rather a cool feeling.
[The achievement of Soryongjibo has increased.]
Once he trained Soryongjibo, his achievement rate rose by 3%. In other words, if you do it 34 times, it will immediately become 2 stars.
At this rate, I thought I would achieve 3 stars within today.
I was excited about the idea that I had to raise my achievements quickly, so I tried using the Soryongjibo, but this time my achievements increased by just 0.1%.
“what?”
I thought my eyes were wrong. 0.1. Rani, it was a 30-fold difference from the 3% that had risen at the beginning.
[The achievement of Soryongjibo has increased.]
This time, the achievement has increased by 4%, which is more than the first time. Now I can see why the achievement has risen to a different number.
The first time I used the step calmly, and the second time I took a rough step in a hurry. The last third was focused and detailed, as if demonstrating to others.
The reason for the difference in achievement figures was simple. It was the difference between sincerity and concentration. Whether he had a proper posture, whether his internal energy was guided accurately, and whether he did not move hastily, all of these factors served as a basis for his achievement increase.
If you do it quickly out of a sense of urgency, as in the second one, your achievement will rise later.
“It’s just that sloppy training is worse than not doing it.”
Rather, I liked it. I thought that I should learn the Soryongjibo properly and go to 3 stars within today.
I tried my best to ignore Arin, who was staring at me with eyes that didn’t understand me from afar, and started practicing Soryongjibo.
**
“Huck, uh”
I made a promise yesterday that I would not use all my energy, but that promise was almost broken in one day. I didn’t use all of it, but I did use a significant amount.
Just as experience points increase in a game, I forgot about time and control of my strength in the fun of increasing my achievement level, and I continued to practice footsteps.
Soryongjibo’s achievement has already exceeded half of 2 stars. It didn’t reach the 3 stars I initially thought, but it did a great job.
My steps were completely different from the first. Now I could use Soryongjibo like water flowing.
If Ilsung was moving like a robot, now it seems to be moving like a stuffed toy.
It seems like a huge achievement was achieved in a short period of time.
“Princess, it’s too late. Let’s go back now.”
“OK.”
I looked up at the sky and saw no moon. It was such a dark night that I couldn’t see the ground, but I think Arin turned on a torch when the sun went down so that I wouldn’t be uncomfortable.
Looking at Arin, it seemed as if Ace Recruit had become my replacement and took care of everything one by one.
“thank you.”
“yes?”
“Thank you for lighting the torch.”
“Because it’s what you have to do.”
Arin, who was walking next to him, answered, and suddenly started walking forward.
“By the way, what have you been doing today?”
“I’ve learned to walk.”
“How do you walk?”
“okay.”
Of course, footwork does not exist in my novels. Arin probably only thought that I was doing a live show today.
“Yeah…”
Arin was hesitant about what to say.
“A little something? Tell me.”
“He was like a drunken man who ate and stumbled after a daytime drink.”
“Ugh…”
It just seemed that way. The 1-star Soryongjibo was slower than walking, but now it’s over half of the 2-star, so it should move faster than walking.
“Let’s go quickly. I’m hungry.”
“All right.”
Come to think of it, footwork could be used while moving.
I used the Soryongjibo to follow Arin. As expected, the current Soryongjibo was faster than walking, so there was no difficulty in following Arin.
“Hey Grand Duke?”
“huh?”
“Honestly a little…”
“why?”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“100 million!”
Oh, it hurts. It felt like a dagger had been thrown into my chest.
The power of the words that a beautiful woman is openly embarrassed was beyond imagination.
But I didn’t give in and followed her until the end using the small dragon’s treasure.
**
“what?”
“Why is that?”
“no.”
I’ve been here and everything has happened, but I never thought I’d be disappointed because the food wasn’t poisonous.
Unlike before, the chile soup Arin brought didn’t contain poison at all. It was just a plain, bland soup.
He quickly swallowed the soup and passed the empty bowl to Arin.
“Today, you eat very quickly.”
“It’s delicious today.”
The reason why I ate late before was because I ate while watching the achievement increase message that came up when I took poison.
“Your Highness, you must sleep today.”
“I will.”
Even without Arin’s words, I’ll get a good night’s sleep today. There was a saying that it was good to train internally at dawn, so I was thinking of getting up early and practicing internally.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes. Rest.”
After Arin left, I lay down on the bed and looked at the Soryongjibo I learned today.
“It ended up being three stars.”
There was a considerable distance between the 4th gymnasium and the Marquis’ Mansion. When Dan Tian’s internal energy was exhausted, he arrived at the mansion, and Xiao Long Jibo also reached 3 stars. I was proud of the thought that I had achieved my goal.
“When are you coming?”
Because Peru was supposed to come, I couldn’t even practice the internal gongsimbeop.
Anyone who has read martial arts novels knows that. It is a common knowledge that if someone touches you while practicing the Naegongsimbeop, you will suffer from burning spirits.
It may not apply here, but since I couldn’t take an adventure, I couldn’t sleep with tired eyes, I couldn’t use my simbeop, I was just staring at the door.
smart
I wonder if this is how it felt like the arrival of the long-awaited lover, I felt my heart beating wildly at the sound of a knock.
“come in.”
However, if the person who came in waited, it would not be Peru.
“You haven’t gone to bed yet, either.”
“Oh, I’m going to sleep in a little while.”
The visitor was Arin. He took off his butler’s uniform and saw that his hair was wet, so he seemed to have washed it.
“I brought you herbal tea. The scent of herbs helps you sleep well, so please drink it and go to sleep.”
“Arin. Thank you so much.”
“Yes. Then let’s go.”
After Arin left, I saw a teacup that was still steaming.
“It’s good to have a good feeling.”
Bringing herbal tea just because you look tired is an unimaginable response in the past. I was just staring at you with a sad face.
“A lot has changed.”
smart
After Arin left, a knocking sound was heard from outside.
“come in.”
“Meet the Grand Duke.”
This time the person I was waiting for was right. It was Peru, a poisoner with blue hair and a dazed expression. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the floor.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
“I couldn’t sleep at all.”
“I guess so.”
He sat cross-legged on the bed and showed a relaxed appearance. In this case, the important thing is the atmosphere. I had to show him the image of an arrogant, mysterious archduke.
“Why didn’t you poison your dinner soup?”
“Today I was off work so I didn’t have to go to the kitchen. He told me to bring all the poison I had, so I thought I could give it to you now.”
“I see.”
He held out his right hand. Peru pulled out a small pouch from her bosom.
what. Is that all there is to it?
The pocket was the size of the palm of my hand, so I was disappointed, but that wasn’t all. A pocket the size of a person’s head protruded from a pocket the size of a palm.
What Peru had was a magic bag in which the space that appeared unconditionally in a fantasy novel was compressed.
Peru pulled out four wrapping papers from her magic pouch.
A magic bag is a fairly expensive item, but having it is not an ordinary guy after all.
“These are the poisons I have.”
“Not much.”
“I’m sorry.”
I was very surprised inside, but I desperately maintained a calm expression. Rather, he raised his chin slightly, highlighting his arrogance even more.
“Hee!”
Seeing the gaze looking down, Peru curled up and trembled.
“Have you had any problems after taking the vinegar I gave you yesterday?”
“I had a headache and a cold sweat all day long.”
“Don’t worry, the first poison is working well, so you’ll be fine for a month. You’ll die after that time.”
“Ahh…”
There’s no way that’s the case, the first poison is an asshole. It’s just rounding the leaves. My head is blank because I can’t sleep, and my cold sweat is because I’m nervous thinking that I might die in a month.
Have I ever been so good at lying? Lies come out very easily.
“Don’t forget to come back in a month to get your contract canceled.”
“All right!”
I still nodded with an arrogant expression.
“Then shall we continue what we did yesterday?”
Peru swallowed dry saliva, as if she knew what I was going to ask.
“Who’s the one who told me to poison my food?”
climb this castle
“The person who ordered the Archduke’s food to be poisoned is the Commander of the Knights of Carox Livingtine.”
“Carox?”
“That’s right.”
Having been here for over a month, I naturally got to know people with high positions.
Carox Livingtyne is the older brother of Caina, the Marquise’s wife, and a knight who serves as the leader of the Silver Eagle Knights.
Rumors spread that he gained a position beyond his ability thanks to the marriage of Caina and the Marquis, and in a word, he is a parachute who became the commander of the Knights through blood ties.
“I guess the reason you hesitated about my question yesterday was because of Carox.”
“Yes. The person who gave me the instructions was Captain Karox, but I thought he had something to do with the Marquis Caina.”
“What did he instruct you to do?”

“I ordered the Archduke to die of illness within this year.”
“Did you mean this year?”
