I Thought I Was The Main Character - Chapter 34

I Thought I Was The Main Character

In fact, I remembered his existence last year when Lucianowas depressed because he couldn’t find a teacher.

 

Did you want me to let both of you meet in advance?

 

I said that.

 

But soon gave up.

 

The first reason was that they were meant to meet anyway.

 

Although they met by chance, the two built a strong trust and continued their relationship as master and pupil.

 

In the original story, except for Brianna, the female protagonist in the original work, the closest and most precious person to Luciano was his teacher.

 

I was worried that the relationship would be strangely twisted if I intervened.

 

The second reason was that my opponent was Luciano.

 

Luciano trusted me after the muffin incident.

 

He was so friendly to me to the extent that he took whatever I gave him without any hesitation.

 

However, just because he trusted me, there was no guarantee that he would trust the person I introduced to him.

 

Luciano was wary of people around me.

 

If I said I met someone.

 

–Who did you meet? Who? Who is it?

 

He asked so much and it was annoying.

 

When I talked to a new stranger.

 

–Who’s that person? How do you know each other?

 

He acted like he was interrogating me.

 

He didn’t want to get along with Billy.

 

–What do you believe in that person? Suspicious.

 

I didn’t know why he hated Billy so much.

 

He managed to accept my family and my nanny, but nothing else.

 

He was on guard and asking persistently.

 

In that state, there was no guarantee that Luciano would accept the person I suddenly brought to him as his teacher.

 

In the original book, it was said that the Drunken Sword wasn’t a tolerant person.

 

I couldn’t get rid of my worries that their relationship could be broken if I forced them to meet.

 

If it hadn’t been for this ridiculous battle in the middle, I wouldn’t have made it to the end.

 

‘I must have waited for the relationship to continue.’

 

However, it was hard just to watch Luciano suffer longer.

 

Especially, Empress Isabel mentioned the following.

 

There will be another match in the near future.

 

“My lady, are you going to enter a place like this? I don’t think it’s a place for you to visit.”

 

Billy frowned at the place where I commanded.

 

We arrived at a bar in the capital.

 

Just like the signboard “Drunkers,” it’s a pub where real drinkers gather with alcohol that has been sold since broad daylight.

 

Delia quickly found the whereabouts of the Drunken Sword.

 

As expected, it was information that he was a drunkard who lived in a bar all day long.

 

–Are you really looking for this person?

 

That was what Delia asked.

 

However, seeing that she found it faster than last time, it seemed that the process of establishing an information line was going well.

 

“I have to go in because I have someone to meet.”

 

“If the master finds out that I have brought you here, I’ll be in trouble.”

 

Billy said anxiously.

 

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

 

Maybe it would be fine.

 

“My lady, then please promise me one thing. When you come in and I ask you to come out, you have to come right away.”

 

Billy suggested that because he knew my stubbornness.

 

“Yeah. I understand.”

 

When I agreed, Billy took my hand with an unhappy face and headed for the bar.

 

“By the way, Billy.”

 

“Yes, my lady.”

 

“If a drunkard attacks me, you have to protect me. Got it?”

 

I opened the bar door and said what I had forgotten.

 

“Pardon? My lady! What do you mean by the attack? What are you going to do?”

 

Billy’s panicked voice rang out.

 

“He’s drunk but he’s a powerful person, so I’m nervous.”

 

“No, my lady!”

 

I took Billy’s hand to hold on and entered the bar.

 

For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned to us.

 

Prying eyes touched me for a while.

 

It was uncommon for a little girl like me to appear in a pub.

 

Of course, the attention quickly vanished.

 

The conversation everyone had and the alcohol in front of them were more important.

 

It was still early, so there weren’t many people there.

 

“Why don’t you just leave, my lady.”

 

I ignored Billy’s words and looked around, then I could find a person that I thought was the person I was looking for.

 

A middle-aged man who had grown his red hair and beard profusely was already in disrepair.

 

His stout physique showed that he was the Drunken Sword.

 

The dirty man, who seemed to have been drinking for several days, fell into his own world and continued to drink.

 

I approached him slowly.

 

Even when I was standing in front of him, he didn’t show any interest and just drank.

 

As expected, he was a serious drinker.

 

‘Should I really beat him up…?’

 

But could I beat him?

 

“My lady…”

 

Billy stuck next to me nervously.

 

“Are you the Drunken Sword?”

 

When I talked to him directly, the man who was drinking slowly turned to me.

 

Blue eyes could be seen through his bushy hair.

 

He grinned, his eyes seemed to have been engulfed in alcohol and unfocused.

 

“Did the rumor that there is a drunkard here even spread to the noble lady?”

 

It was more of a mumble than an answer.

 

So, you were saying the Sword was right?

 

“We need to talk.”

 

“I don’t want to. I have nothing to talk about to the lady.”

 

The man waved his hand in annoyance.

 

Then he picked up his drink again and put it to his mouth.

 

He was utterly uninterested in me.

 

Then I have to make him interested.

 

“Cale Pedro.”

 

When I called softly, the man, Cale trembled.

  

 

Kayle met my gaze with a creaking movement.

 

It was his hidden real name.

 

And few would remember the name.

 

Now, even the people around him call him Drunken Sword.

 

In other words, he couldn’t ignore me because he hadn’t heard of it in a long time.

 

He looked up with confused eyes and I smiled.

 

“I said we should talk.”

 

Kale’s eyes lit up at my addition.

 

And his hand stretched out fiercely toward me.

 

“!”

 

The movement was too quick for a person who had drunk a lot of alcohol until just now.

 

I was so surprised that I couldn’t even move, but Billy’s hand, which stretched out from the side, struck Cale’s wrist.

 

When his attempt failed, Cale got up and punched Billy.

 

Crash!

 

The sudden movement made the chair fall loudly.

 

Billy ducked his upper body to dodge his fist and counterattacked.

 

Just the moment Billy’s hand was about to hit Cale in the face.

 

Kale’s knee came up and aimed at Billy’s waist, Billy recovered the attack and blocked his knee with his elbow.

 

It was a huge fight that ensued in an instant.

 

He was chosen as my escort, so I knew Billy was a talented man.

 

‘But I didn’t know he’d fight Cale on an equal level.’

 

In fact, I told Luciano a little bit about learning from Billy last year.

 

–Prince, how about learning swordsmanship from Billy? His skills are fine.

 

–Forget it. What do you believe in that person?

 

Luciano refused with a straight face.

 

In the meantime, I couldn’t recommend Billy again because he stared at him like an object of hatred.

 

Luciano strangely disliked Billy.

 

–If he’s going to learn the swordsmanship of a formal knight, it’s not good to learn from me. I didn’t officially learn swordsmanship, so I might have bad habits.

 

And Billy also refused to teach.

 

So Billy couldn’t be Luciano’s teacher.

 

“Wh-what?”

 

The people’s attention around me was directed at the commotion.

 

The two of them bumped into each other, and they distanced themselves from each other.

 

Realizing that he was a formidable opponent, Cale changed his attitude cautiously.

 

“Who are you? Who sent you? Did they tell you to get rid of me?”

 

Cale was extremely wary.

 

Billy took the opportunity and quickly hid me behind him.

 

“It’s dangerous, my lady. Stand back.”

 

In a short time, a huge fight ensued and hardened.

 

Although I told Billy that I might be attacked.

 

I didn’t know he would attack a cute little girl like me so recklessly!

 

“What’s going on? Why do you bother the Sword?”

 

“What the hell are you doing all of a sudden! Call the security guard!”

 

Those who were stiff by the sudden situation jumped up and shouted.

 

As the atmosphere became violent, I came to my senses.

 

“No matter how drunk you are, you can’t attack recklessly.”

 

“I know. This is something we have nothing to say about.”

 

“How much will the Swords do if he drinks and makes a fuss?”

 

The last word was a bit subtle.

 

People approached as if they were trying to help Cale.

 

Then Billy felt nervous.

 

Everyone stood guard against us and sided with the Sword.

 

Did you manage your personal connections while living as a drunkard?

 

“Let’s let them know you’ll get in trouble if you mess with a drunkard!”

 

“How dare you touch a docile drunkard!”

 

I guess that was not it.

 

A Drunken Alliance? Was it something like that?

 

“How dare you come to our territory and make a scene!”

 

“The noble lady is fearless. I’ll show you what I got!”

 

The Sword caused the riot.

 

Usually, you should protect the child and suspect that the drunkard was on the rampage.

 

You drunkards!

 

I thought something really serious might be happening at this rate, so I took a deep breath and shouted with my stomach pulled up.

 

“Stooop it!”

 

Perhaps because I shouted it with my stomach’s full strength, my voice rang loudly inside.

 

Everyone looked surprised.

 

“I told you I wanted to talk. Gown-ups waving their fists first, what are you doing exactly?”

 

I deliberately placed my hand on my waist and stared fiercely, then said that firmly.

 

‘No, is there any easy way to solve this?’

 

The people who tried to break in belatedly alternated their gaze between Cale and me.

 

Billy stared at me, and Cale also looked at me with a mysterious look.

 

“Can you swing your fist first or not?”

 

“I can’t.”

 

Billy was quick-witted and replied quickly.

 

It was really nice to see him honestly admitting his mistake.

 

“….”

 

But Cale was silent.

 

“Did you do a good job or a bad job?”

 

He didn’t seem to have any signs of reflection, so I slammed my right foot and poked Cale.

 

Everyone’s eyes, who had roughly grasped the situation, turned to Cale.

 

Of course, his expression showed an absurd look and he held back laughter.

 

Cale shut his mouth as if nothing was wrong, but I didn’t take my eyes off him.

 

Answer me quickly.

 

Answer me.

 

I gave strength to my eyes and stared at Cale.

 

“Are you saying you didn’t do anything wrong?”

 

Cale’s tight lips seemed unwilling to open.

 

They all waited for Cale’s answer.

 

As the silence continued, a strange atmosphere flowed inside the bar.

 

You won’t admit it until the end, right?

 

“Do I have to teach you that it is bad to swing your fist first step by step from the begging? A common sense that even a child knows?”

 

Cale turned his head in a cold sweat.

 

All eyes looked at Cale together.

 

“Hmph, okay. You’re going to pretend you don’t know common sense that even a child knows.”

 

Then someone helped out.

 

“Hmph, even drunkards have common sense, Sword.”

 

Another person helped.

 

“Pfft, Sword, she said common sense. Common sense.”

 

Everyone was on my side.

 

Cale’s face flushed red at the pressure from everyone to be a person with common senses.

 

“Was it a good thing to swing your fist?”

 

I hit a wedge.

 

“No….”

 

Eventually, he was unable to bear it and muttered softly.

 

It wasn’t a very satisfying answer.

 

I bent his pride, but I’m not questioning you anymore.

 

“What are you doing? Clean up and sit down.”

 

I spoke to Cale and Billy, then apologized to the others guests who were watching this.

 

“I’m sorry for the disturbance. We’re not fighting.”

 

When I politely apologized, the guests responded and held their laughter.

 

“Pfft, you should have told me in advance if you were going to talk.”

 

“Pfftt, don’t bother the Sword too much.”

 

“Absolutely. We’re just going to talk.”

 

They grinned and laughed at my assurance.

 

Normally, this kind of situation is fun if it’s not my business.

 

“Hahaha, we must have misunderstood. I’m sorry. Have a good conversation.”

 

“Hey, Drunken Sword. Take it easy. Listen to this smart girl!”

 

“By all means, a smart girl is better than a drunkard. Hahahahaha.”

 

In that way, the guests went back to their seats while laughing at Cale.

 

Cale and Billy were sitting at a table and glaring at each other while I was sorting things out.

 

Seriously, I’m tired because the grown-ups act immaturely.
