I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor in a Romance Novel

Twitch.

Zeke’s body trembled.

‘This bastard……. Asking for Rosnante. What is this…….’

Recently, Prince Rosnante Leonine had awakened his mana and changed his mind, becoming stricter with himself than with the eyes of others.

─ Instructor, I will change from now on. I will really work hard.

A disciple who expressed his ambitious aspirations to him with a serious expression.

─ Hehehehe. In order to become an emperor admired by all, you must set a good example. Now, you don’t have to treat me like a prince. Ugh……! Kuaaaack!!!

Frankly, his physical abilities and talents are inferior to those of other children.

The Second Prince had just started to take training seriously, but the gap was not something that could be overcome with a day or two of training, so it was still a reality that he was lagging behind.

The lies Rosnante had told were exposed, and those who followed him could not hide their disappointment.

How did Rosnante react to their disappointment?

─ I’m really sorry to everyone. I have been deceiving you who have been following me all this time.

Really, it’s so ugly to say it out loud. But, I won’t hide it anymore.

He boldly stood in front of the children who followed him and bowed his head calmly.

─ I am less talented than them. I was ashamed of that fact, so I brazenly lied in front of you all this time, so those who were disappointed in me could go to others now.

In front of Rosnante, who gathered his followers and confessed his weaknesses, the group who followed him just stared at him without saying anything.

─ But, let me tell you a golden saying here.

This is a promise as a prince.

I have changed now, and I will continue to change in the future.

This will be the last time I voluntarily bow my head.

And at the end of it.

I will become an emperor who is not ashamed of your loyalty to those who have chosen to follow me.

If you stay by my side now, I will not forget you either.

What he revealed was not only his weakness.

Ambition for the future, and a promise to take care of his people to the end.

Of course, there were those who left him disappointed by the deception he had committed,

But there were also quite a few who were impressed by his calmly bowed head and sincerity and decided to watch him a little longer.

After that, Rosnante actually changed.

In a desperate way, not afraid of failure, and clenching his teeth in the face of any ordeal that comes his way.

Rosnante was always the most miserably crumpled when Zeke’s class was over,

But no one could laugh at him.

‘……But, you want that guy……?’

Of course, the Third Prince only asked for one of Zeke’s class,

And it was Zeke’s fault to immediately accept that as asking for Rosnante,

But the fact that he was able to think this much shows how much Rosnante has developed!

What would happen if Rosnante went under the Third Prince?

He goes under a younger brother who is not even Illios and listens to his lessons?

That too, under the Third Prince, who has only studied magic all his life?

No matter how much he gave up his useless pride, it was for a higher leap, and he would never have wished for such a picture.

Now, in the eyes of the nobles who follow him, the Second Prince would appear to have surrendered to the Third Prince.

Zeke, whose thoughts were roughly organized, hardened his expression and said firmly.

“I will give you the Second Prince Rosnante Leonine.”

“……Pfft! Puhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Ah!”

The principal’s bewildered expression and Licht’s frivolous laughter intersected in the room.

* * *

Meanwhile, Rosnante was completely unaware of what conversation was going on in the principal’s office.

His mind was filled with thoughts of the Northern Princess, Lily Ira.

He got up from his seat and wandered around the Lamielly campus, lost in thought.

North.

The shield of the empire that blocks the monsters moving south.

They only speak with swords and have nothing to do with politics.

Come to think of it, the North was so tightly veiled that even he, the prince, didn’t know much about it.

If he had tried to learn about the North before, it would have been different.

Rosnante, who had held the hilt of a sword longer than a pen, felt unfamiliar when he heard the word “North,” as if he were listening to a story from another independent country.

‘Hmm……. Still, I definitely learned it in the imperial education……. What was it…….’

Anyway, they belong to the empire, and if they are a ducal family, they are not excluded as his marriage partners.

Rosnante’s happy circuit began to spin fiercely.

‘Khehehe! Ma, marriage! First of all, love! But first, I should give my father a hint.

Still, I should do it secretly. If Illios gets his eye on her, it’ll be a headache.

If he finds out that there is such a beautiful duchess in the North, it’ll be a headache!’

As he turned around to return to the mansion to send a letter.

“Rosnante.”

There was someone who appeared before him.

Rosnante frowned at first, unable to recognize the other person,

Soon his entire face crumpled.

“Illios.”

It was his half-brother, Illios Leonine, who had been summoned to the Imperial Palace after the duel exam.

He couldn’t understand how this guy could, no, for what purpose he appeared here, so his vigilance rose even higher.

“Why are you here? You must have dropped out of the academy……!”

“Ah, I know. I know. Well, I didn’t re-enroll or anything, so let’s skip the obvious talk. I didn’t come here for revenge or anything like that.”

“Um……?”

Illios had gained some, no, quite a bit of weight since returning to the Imperial Palace, as if he had been eating and living well.

When Rosnante glared at him, the chubby Illios sighed deeply and shook his head.

“Don’t look at me so scary. I’m not going to be emperor anyway because I’m scared of that guy.”

Rosnante’s eyes widened at the sudden declaration of giving up the throne.

“……That guy?”

“Yeah, that human, Zeke Clayman.

Even if I become emperor, he’s not the kind of person who will play in my hands.

He’s not someone I can forcibly capture and kill……. Emperor?

I can’t do it because I’m anxious. I’d rather go to another country if I could……. Ha.

I’m going crazy. My body trembles again when I think about it.”

Illios, who was biting his nails as he spoke, looked very unstable.

“……What the hell, what is that……?”

When Rosnante asked, Illios replied with a blank expression.

“Well, I was thinking about revenge, but I lost my heart.

Or should I say it’s a good thing. Actually, I was thinking of using Eustia to screw him over after I went back to the Imperial Palace…….

No, well. I’m not here to talk about that now. If you’re curious, you can find out by releasing people.”

“……Yeah, I know very well that you’ve become a loser.”

“Don’t keep provoking me. If you keep doing that, I just want to go back here. I’m the one who came to save you.”

Illios’ eyes were still alive and gleaming dangerously.

“I don’t think anything I hear from you, who cheated me out of magic stones, will help me.”

“Ah, that happened too. I forgot.”

Crack.

A strong murderous intent rose from Rosnante.

“Still, you should listen to this. It’s a little bit of worry, advice, and a suggestion. It doesn’t harm you at all. What, this time, I’ll give you my imperial nameplate as collateral.”

Illios tossed the golden nameplate as if he had no regrets at all.

Rosnante’s eyes widened as he received it.

A precious item used to protect Soi at the Eustia banquet.

A luxury item that can be overlooked without asking any questions when an incident occurs.

He didn’t show it on the outside, but how much he regretted knowing the value of the nameplate later.

It’s not like this guy doesn’t know the value of this nameplate like himself.

Rosnante took the nameplate and put it in his pocket.

“Hmph……. I think it’s worth listening to. But if you lie again, you’ll have to be prepared. Illios.”

“Tsk, you’re charging too much for one suggestion. Well, it can’t be helped. This is the best for me too…….”

Illios scratched his head and muttered, then made eye contact with Rosnante.

“First of all, as I said, I’m out of the imperial race. Instead, I’m going to risk my life on you.”

“……What……? What does that…….”

“Third Prince. Licht. That guy came to Ramielli Academy. You have to be careful of him.”

* * *

“This, this……. He’s definitely not an ordinary person.”

Licht came out of the principal’s office, still muttering to himself in a laughing voice.

“I expected you to hand over Rosnante, but you did something very interesting there?”

Right after saying he would hand over Rosnante.

Zeke continued.

“I’ll give you Selena Yohaiden, Iriel Eustia, Soi Spoon, and Yuri Gilbert. Take them if you can.”

“……Yes?”

“Principal, are you sure about what you just said?”

“Wh, what are you talking about?”

The principal stammered as the sparks suddenly flew towards him.

“You said that the students’ will is the most important thing in choosing classes.”

“Th, that’s right. In cases like this, the instructors agree and divide the class.

But after that, if the students don’t want to take that class, they can take another instructor’s class.”

“I see. Then, I will not intervene with my will in dividing the class.”

“……?”

“……?”

The principal and the Third Prince looked at Zeke as if they didn’t understand.

“Instead, I will announce it in advance.

My will is not involved in the divided class at all, and everything is planned by Instructor Licht.

If you don’t agree with that, I’ll allow you to change classes whenever you want.”

“……Are you saying that you are giving up your discretion altogether?”

Zeke nodded at the principal’s question.

“Yes. Instead, there should be no unfair methods.

Well, I’ll overlook persuasion to a reasonable extent.

Threats, hostages, or physical or mental harm that is not educational. If you don’t cross that line, I don’t care.”

Zeke’s eyes stared at the Third Prince as if they were piercing through him.

“Don’t think I’ll stay silent if you touch my students and I’ll just let it go.”
