The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - [Author: Writing Ant]

Chapter 40

"He looks exactly like the previous king in his youth. I can understand why he cherishes you so much."

Glenn Zieghart slowly nodded, watching his face.

"Th-thank you."

He couldn't talk properly because his mouth was completely dry. His presence was too overbearing, despite not using any pressure. It was a completely different experience from when he met the Kingdom's best sword.

"I-I have a letter from his majesty the king."

The third prince took out a golden envelope. He forced his trembling legs to stand up.

"Kuh..."

While shivering, he approached the platform and handed over the letter.

"Hmm."

Upon seeing that, Glenn's eyes shone for a second, but quickly disappeared.

"As you've requested, I've arranged things so that you can observe the trainees."

Putting the letter aside, Glenn slowly spoke.

"I've prepared an evening banquet, so do rest for today and visit them tomorrow."

"Thank you for your consideration."

"Then see you again later."

"Yes."

The third prince took three steps backward and bowed, then stood up.

"And the duke..."

"I have something to tell the head of house about. Please go ahead and rest."

Duke Tartan closed his eyes while smiling lightly.

"I see."

The third prince nodded shortly, then left the audience chamber.

"He is a very talented child. He will rise to the throne of the sword, before the throne of the king."

Glenn opened his mouth first, after a short silence.

"I knew you would realize it at a glance. The third prince is called the Kingdom's best sword in waiting."

"Certainly, it is a rare talent."

"It's not just about talent, he also has a strong willpower. He also visited the south to witness Robert's swordsmanship."

Duke Tartan smiled happily, looking at the door through which the third prince had left.

"Hmph."

Glenn slightly lifted the corners of his mouth.

'Talent, effort and willpower, huh...'

Just by looking at the third prince's eyes, he could tell what kind of talent he had and what kind of efforts he'd been making.

He must have experienced various things and worked hard from a young age. However, Glenn knew somebody even better than him.

Raon Zieghart.

Since he knew about Raon's effort and willpower, he wasn't convinced with the third prince's greatness.

"Since you didn't come here to show off the prince, let's get to the point."

The letter in Glenn's hand burned up.

"You burned it without even taking a look."

Although the letter was burned up, Duke Tartan's expression didn't change.

"There's no way he would've entrusted an important letter to a child."

"I knew it."

Duke Tartan knelt and respectfully lowered his head, unlike when he was boasting about the third prince.
