Chapter 83 – 083. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
083. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family
I stood at the front entrance of the Fluon Knights training ground.
A young squire, who was acting as a gatekeeper at the entrance, saw me and hurried over. He is the spoiled squire you saw when he first came here.
“Princess Eugene! Are you here!”
Squire bowed his head towards me and greeted me loudly. The arrogant attitude he had before was nowhere to be found.
“I came to see Sir Embis. Guide me.”
He gave the same lines as back then.
Squire’s back bent even more.
“All right! I will guide you right away!”
Two weeks have passed since Lexi’s attempted rape case. In the meantime, I have been constantly looking for the Flune Knights. It was to improve the relationship with the knight leader, Hent, and to make them support me.
‘I’m almost over it. I never thought it would work so quickly.’
What I overlooked is that entertainment does not exist in this world. TV, of course, does not exist, and literature is also narrow.
Commoners are busy making a living, so it is hard to be interested in literature. Even if you are interested in it, you will soon get bored. Because most of the books in this world are for knowledge, not for fun.
The most representative amusements in this world are plays and circuses.
‘Should I sell novels at this point…. No, that’s too annoying.’
Books aren’t made in a flash, and how many ordinary people are willing to pay for expensive paper to buy a book? Above all, we must translate the text into the language of this world. Compared to the amount of work involved, the benefits to be gained are not so great.
Moreover, the majority of commoners do not know how to write.
“There… Young master Eugene.”
Squire, who was walking in the lead, spoke up.
“Yes?”
“Can I buy cigarettes now?”
I chuckled. Since the entire Flune Knights smoked, it seems that Squire also recognized the taste of the tobacco.
“Of course. Do you know the price?”
If you want to buy it, there is no reason not to sell it.
Hehe. Of course.”
The squire took one black silver coin from his pocket. It’s 100,000 ners.
“You buy two packs at once?”
“Can’t you?”
“No. Can’t be Don’t you need a lighter?”
“Gwa, it’s okay.”
I nodded. Well, it’s not difficult to find fire.
“Ruler. We are here.”
“Thank you!”
“By the way, how much is your monthly salary?”
“One million ners!”
I nodded.
Compared to the common people, the income is definitely less. However, considering that he is a squire, it is not too small. As a squire of the Knights, he works at the training camp, so he doesn’t have to spend money on living expenses.
‘Because if I become an official knight at Squire, I’ll be treated incomparably better than before.’
I put my cigarette in my pocket and looked at my favorite squire. This guy will be my main customer in the future.

“Princess Eugene! Are you here!”
Gent greeted me with a bright face. The metal watch on his left wrist flashes. It’s something I gave you as a gift.
In the meantime, I have been constantly looking for Hent and handed over bribes in the name of gifts. The money spent on Hent alone would be almost 3 million won.
“He came today. Isn’t that a nuisance?”
“Of course not. Young master. Come, come, sit down.”
It was fortunate that Hent was a mercenary. That bastard knight had no mind and was snobbish, so the effect of the gift was excellent.
“Sir Embis. Did you eat lunch?”
“I didn’t eat. Today’s diet was not very good.”
I probably didn’t eat lunch on purpose because I knew I was going to be a duck. Because I came at this time yesterday too.
“Then why don’t we eat together? I haven’t had lunch either.”
“Princess Eugene is making an offer, how can I refuse?”
Ghent gulp. And swallowed.
Most of the things I bring are modern foods. The taste is stimulating yet awesome. It was on a different level from most of the plain-tasting foods of this era.
“Today is chicken. Last time I saw you, you ate very well. Of course, I also brought beer. German beer.”
“Chicken beer! It’s chicken and beer!”
Hent’s eyes twinkled uncomfortably. I understand. Because this is a combination that can never fail.
“Keugh. These golden, crispy fries! How the hell do you make it?”
Hent asked while eating fried chicken.
“As the name suggests, it’s chicken fried in oil, right?”
“Actually. The last time I ate it, I couldn’t forget the taste, so I begged the chef at home to make chicken.”
“Hoo. Did you succeed?”
I asked as I gulped down my beer. Since the coming-of-age ceremony has already been held, no one interferes with drinking beer.
“Failed. It made me feel so much. It was like throwing away expensive oil and chicken. Can’t you just teach me the secret?”
“Well. I have no intention of solving the Korea Secret Chicken recipe yet. I’m sorry, but please bear with me.”
“Whoa. I’m sorry but I can’t help it. We look forward to the day when the Korea Secret Chicken recipe is released.”
“How does this seasoned chicken taste?”
“Awesome. No taste required. Words. It’s slightly spicy and sweet…. The other day, when I tried to take it home and eat it, I almost lost it all to Lexi.”
“How about soy sauce chicken?”
“The salty taste is excellent. I don’t think it’s inferior to seasoned chicken. But my preference is Pride. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside…. It’s perfect for my taste. More than anything, it seems to go best with beer.”
“What if I opened a chicken restaurant in the city?”
“Is that true?!”
Hent’s voice rose.
“I just ask once. Right now, I have no plans or anything.”
“… I’m so excited about this. I am of course welcome. If there is a store that sells this level of chicken, I might visit it every day.”
“Is it.”
Certainly, chicken is an unbeatable business item. In reality, there are so many competitors. There are no competitors or anything in this world. If you look at Hent’s reaction, he will buy the chicken even if the quality is poor.
‘I have to do business too. Because I can’t bring it from reality forever.’
Chickens are common livestock in this world. However, it seemed a little different from the chicken we eat. I must say that there is no more taste.
‘The chicken problem is easy. I just need to bring fertilized eggs and hatch them.’
Rare riddle. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Eggs come first in this world.
‘It’s a chicken recipe, it’s roughly all over the internet…. Well. I think it’s just a matter of properly educating people?’
Just because it was possible, I had no intention of doing it right away. It’s not something you can do alone, and it’s hard to think that there will be a bigger profit than cigarettes.
The meal is over. Most of them were eaten by Ghent. Perhaps because he was a rolling knight, he killed three chickens in an instant.
“Sir Embis.”
I called him in a serious tone.
“Yes. Prince Eugene. Please speak.”
“Could you teach me the swordsmanship of the Flune Knights?”
“Ah. Young master Eugene, are you also interested in swordsmanship?”
I smiled bitterly. Certainly, looking at my thin body now, it didn’t go well with swordsmanship.
“Even if you look like this, you are a member of Count Pruckus.”
“Oops. I made a mistake.”
“It’s fine.”
I remembered Jin Woo-sung’s words.
He said that putting down Yeongcheon-ryu for a while and learning other swordsmanships to improve your skills is one way to do it.
‘And I’m interested in swordsmanship in this world. It wouldn’t be bad to know.’
Multi-line.
I like that word. If you learn a lot of swordsmanship, it will definitely come in handy someday.
“I heard that Young master’ heart disease has recently improved… , It will be fine in a little while.”
“Well. You are really healthy these days. I do have seizures sometimes… Well, that cycle is about once a week.”
It was Gura. Seizures are just an occasional act. I have to let others know so they can take advantage of my weakness.
“…… This. I can’t take my eyes off you. I will inform you myself.”
“Don’t worry. Because I’m in really good shape these days.”
“Gongja. Have you learned how to breathe mana?”
Mana Breathing. As the name suggests, it is a breathing technique that draws mana into the body. If you repeat this over and over again, you will be able to feel and use mana.
It is a top-notch secret that commoners cannot obtain.
I was the son of the great lord, so I could easily learn about mana breathing.
“…… I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.”
I said with sadness. I did mana breathing properly. Even the butler, Hascent, was called and confirmed. But it didn’t work. There was no difference between doing mana breathing and just breathing.
“Mana breathing must be done steadily. There is no immediate change.”
“Is it.”
Responded powerlessly. Just thinking about mana breathing makes me feel down. Maybe I’m insensitive to mana.
Even thinking about it again, I desperately need a mana awakening potion.
“If you continue to practice mana breathing, you will be able to feel it.”
Hent stood up from his seat. He turned towards the wall. His swords were placed on the wall. 13 in total. Look alike
Hent picked up the sword I gave him as a gift a while ago.
“That sword. This is the sword I gave you as a gift.”
“Yes. Every time I see this sword these days, I feel happy. It’s not a famous sword, but it’s a very good sword. Where did you get a sword like this?”
It’s roughly a 2 million won sword.
It is a mass-produced item sold at the Hunter Shop. Because it was made with modern technology, it is superior to most swords in the world. In particular, the appearance was simple but cool.
“I also got it by accident. It suits you well.”
Haha. Taking care of this sword is my daily routine these days. It is a very nice sword.”
Like all knights, Hent was also a fan of swords.
“Then, Prince Eugene. Let’s go to the training ground.”
“I will.”
I walked along Ghent.
‘… I can smell cigarettes everywhere.’
This is pretty serious. I knew that the entire Knights of Flune smoked, but I didn’t know I’d become a heavy smoker after only two weeks.
I glanced out the window. Six knights huddled together, smoking. When I looked a little further, I saw a knight leaning against the window smoking a cigarette.
‘It’s a scene I drew, but… What the fuck Aren’t knights so restrained?’
When I checked with my own two eyes, the popularity of cigarettes was much better than I thought.
“Sir Embis. How popular is cigarettes?”
“It’s to the point where I can’t do it without it. These days, during breaks, everyone smokes. Of course I am too.”
“…… Aesthetically, it doesn’t look that good. How about making a separate smoking room?”
“I was worried about that too. Let’s make a smoking room in a suitable place.”
•••
I learned Prucus basic swordsmanship from Hent for about an hour. What I have in my hand is a wooden sword.
It is said that it is a basic swordsmanship that any knight or soldier belonging to Pruckus can do.
“The posture is good, but it is not smooth.”
It was simply a matter of skill.
Pruckus’ basic swordsmanship was close to physical training. It didn’t require any special talent like Yeongcheon-ryu.
“It’s pretty tough.”
“The purpose of basic training is to develop the muscles needed to wield a sword. If Young master Eugene wants to continue swordsmanship, he must practice basic swordsmanship consistently for at least three hours every day.”
“Three hours every day…. It must be difficult for my weak body.”
“You’re naturally weak, so there’s nothing you can do about it.”
I had no real interest in the swordsmanship of the Purcus family. Because I had Youngcheonryu.
“I heard that Zent-hyung and Kyle-hyung have excellent swordsmanship. What about my talent?”
The eldest and second sons of the Pruckus family were even called sword geniuses. Now, there are many evaluations that Gent, the eldest son, is better, but later, when Kyle reveals his skills, the evaluation changes.
Hent laughed awkwardly at my question, then he spoke to me with a serious face.
“Princess Eugene’s future could be at stake… I will be honest.”
“You want it.”
The afterword was expected.
“Princess Eugene has no talent. If you continue to learn mana breathing… I could be a knight, but…. Swordsmanship is at the level of an ordinary soldier. No matter how good you look at it, an elite soldier. More than that seems impossible.”
It was a pretty poignant comment.
“Is it.”
“…… Aren’t you angry?”
“I have no desire to be angry with what I do not have. This world isn’t all about swords. Isn’t it?”
“What Young master said is correct. What you can do with a sword is limited. You are wise.”
It was a loose talk.
I didn’t even have high expectations in the first place, so I didn’t get angry. It’s my talent, because I already knew it.
‘Because I have a playful life app and Yeongcheonryu.’
