I Became the First Prince: Legend of Sword's Song

Ｃｈ． １９ － ２１

“I have my own body and mind,” she added.

I couldn’t help it. I laughed, and it sounded hostile.

It was worthwhile to raise my soul’s presence, even though I knew my body wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Adelia, the maniac, the shy but dependable woman.

[Servility] is only meant to be submissive to a higher-ranking being.

And my soul was enough to impress on her who the real ‘Master’ was.

“I cannot follow your words,” Adelia told Uncle.

He looked shocked because his noble cause has just been rejected twice.

I chuckled once more as Uncle looked exasperated.

“Thousand of lives are at stake! How can you be so rash!”

“I’m not worried about this. Why don’t you get out of the palace and find a thousand soldiers?”

Uncle stared at my blatant remark.

I coughed from too much chuckling.

“We’re not done with this. We’ll sort it out soon.”

At this point, it was important to draw the line.

“The request for Adelia is already over. In fact, there is no longer a reason why you need to come here every day.”

The Queen asked him to come for my discipline.

Now, I don’t get into foolish troubles, and I’m in a state of losing weight.

“But if you are willing to come, I will welcome you as a guest. But you will be expected to be as courteous as a guest.”

Don’t nag, don’t look at Adelia.

Uncle frowned by my condition and looked at Adelia with a lot of regrets.

Even after being so embarrassed, Uncle continued to visit the palace daily.

It was to watch Adelia.

However, Adelia treated him with little to no respect. Uncle grumbled around her.

It was too pathetic that even I felt sorry for him and chose not to say anything.

Occasionally, Uncle looked at me with a sulky face.

He seemed to want to say something, but he’s holding it back.

About two weeks after that, Uncle, who was usually silent, approached us in the training hall.

“What have you been teaching her?” he asked, looking disgusted.

Hmm… definitely, her posture was not good.

“Adelia, stretch out your elbows,” I told her.

Immediately, she corrected her posture.

“Lean your shoulders back a little.”

“Stare forward.”

Uncle cleared his throat meaningfully and stepped away.

I shook my head. I know what that meant.

Adelia was adjusting to the sword too quickly. At this pace, I would not be able to lead her anymore soon.

“Hoo!”

She took a deep breath. Aura gathered at the tip of her sword as she exhaled.

She repeated the action, slowly but surely, until a clear noise rang out.
