The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

‘Well, I don’t want to find out what you’re trying to hide. At best, he might have been in a hurry to go to the bathroom and scoured everywhere.’

Thinking that way, I quickly refined my expression. Just in time, Cedric brought what was lying in the corner of the room. It was a sword. The very sword that he wanted to boast and show off to me.

“Ta-da! This is it. What do you think? Isn’t it really cool?”

“Wow… it’s really cool.”

Cedric picked up the sword and asked me a question, shining through these hoop lights. In fact, rather than asking a question, it was like an already decided answer. Of course, I answered with sincerity. I would, too, because that sword was very nice.

‘In fact, I was trying to give you a little compliment. It’s a really good looking sword.’

The handle of the sword was shiny gold, and it wasn’t just smooth, it was engraved in ancient words. That means something, so Cedric said it was the names of the warriors in Cedric’s house. Cedric’s name was written on it last.

“Because I passed the successor test. Then my father gave me this sword to ask me to become a warrior-like knight.”

Cedric said, fiddling with the sword with an ecstatic look.

“It’s a sword that my second brother hasn’t received yet, but I got it first. Even my first brother was barely given a sword when he was 9 years old. How about it, isn’t it great?”

I nodded. It seemed really great to say that. I can’t believe that one of the seven year olds has already passed the successor test!

‘Come to think of it, Cedric’s family was a long-established knight family. I know that in recognition of their contribution to protecting the royal family in the past, they received the Grand Duke title, which can be passed down from generation to generation.’

Wait, then, does it mean that he has the best ability among the three brothers of such a family? The fact that suddenly came to mind, made me stop. I wasn’t aware of it these days, but Cedric was actually the youngest Swordmaster in the future. I was now attending a kindergarten with such a swordsmanship genius!

“It’s really great. Grand Lord Cedric, it’s amazing to pass the successor test already, even if I don’t know what it is because our family doesn’t have that.”

When I realized that, I couldn’t help but admire him. I gave Cedric a heartfelt compliment. Unlike Cedric, I don’t have any surreal abilities such as spirits, magic, let alone swordsmanship. On the other hand, Cedric and other children in this kindergarten are geniuses with one outstanding talent except for me. For me, being extremely ordinary, they had no choice but to look enviable and great.

‘Heuk, it’s sad…’

My heart hurt because I felt my incompetence all over again. But I tried to comfort myself saying it was okay.

‘But I know the future. Like how this book will work, what will be fashionable in the future. If I do well, I can make a big hit by doing business with a future trendy item!’

Of course, the future is something that comes out after waiting 20 years. Ah, as expected, I am also an incompetent person. I tried to comfort myself, but I felt sad again.

‘Oh, that’s it. I’m going to make a network in this kindergarten. It would be better if I help the main character get along so that they don’t get involved in a political fight in the future. Only after recalling my original purpose, I regained my composure. Only then I could see Cedric standing blankly in front of my eyes. Since when has he been standing there, Cedric was staring at me, holding his sword tightly.

“……Why do you look like that?”

“Really?”

I thought my gaze was going to be so clear, and Cedric suddenly asked me back. I tried for a moment to understand the meaning of the question, and then I realized it.

‘So now, are you asking if the compliment I gave you was sincere?’

Looking at the expression, it seemed like so. I answered,

“Yes, I mean it.”

“……Isn’t that a lie?”

Then Cedric muttered again. This time he was somewhat like talking to himself. No, you can’t really see the warm truth hidden in my words! I don’t know if I don’t look so trusting, or if Cedric is particularly distrustful of me.
