The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

“Don’t blame yourself. And… you don’t have to compare other people with the Grand Lord.”

Honestly, I could hardly get a sense of what to say to comfort him. Unlike Cedric’s, our family was an ordinary noble family without a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation. We just have a lot of money. My parents haven’t already told me to decide on my future.

Actually, isn’t this natural?

‘Regardless of your skill, it’s really amazing to hold a sword and train from an early age…’

I was reminded again of what I had forgotten. In fact, as I have been living among the future protagonists, I’ve lost a bit of sense. For example, how the ‘ordinary’ noble children my age in this world are doing. It was a problem these days because all the children around me are children with good abilities since childhood. I’m starting to think they’re normal.

‘Actually, it’s very normal except that I have memories of my previous life.’

So, as expected, I had to comfort Cedric. Instead of the nasty adults of the Cedric family, I should have said he did well.  Even though I didn’t have a lot of verbal skills, I could only give him basic comfort. It would be nice if Cedric could regain his confidence again like this.

“It’s great enough. Grand Lord. There are a few people in their age who can hold a sword properly. I’ll miss it, too, because most of my arms would be shaking.”

I made a fuss and naturally handed over the sword Cedric was holding. Indeed, I wasn’t wrong. It was so heavy that my body was shaking. Cedric, carrying a sword like this casually, was really a child beyond the normal range! Of course, I knew how such a thing was possible.

In the original book, there was a part where it was described that Cedric’s family was born with a stronger body than ordinary people from generation to generation. Of course, even taking that into account, Cedric was really a genius. After thinking for a very short period of time, I continued to speak.

“Look. This is normally the case for people like me. So Cedric is a very genius person…”

But I couldn’t keep talking. It was because Cedric snorted,

“What do you mean your strength is normal? You are below average. As far as I can tell.”

No, he’s like that even if you compliment him. That jerk. I regretted that I had just felt sorry for Cedric a little. It was really nasty. Rather than repaying me for what I received, you’re giving me nonsense.

‘Hey, of course, I have below average body strength, but… Still, that’s too much. I hate hearing you say something other than normal.”

To be honest, I just want to shut my mouth tight like this…

Anyway, I decided to say all the words I was trying to say. I sharpened my voice and said seriously,

“I’m not the one that matters. Right now. Anyway, Grand Lord will surely be a great knight in the future, if you act just like this. You are already working hard enough.”

At first glance, it may sound like a vain hope, but I knew well that all I was saying were facts that would come true in the future. This is all thanks to reading the original book.

‘What’s so great about it? Becoming the best knight of the Empire and the youngest Swordmaster, which will never appear again after that.’

Anyway, that’s not going to happen until 10 years or so later. It might sound a bit unbelievable now. Still, if you give Cedric a little bit of hope for the future, that would be fine.

“……It’s complete nonsense.”

Cedric mumbled, pretending to be rude, but I could see that he didn’t mean it. The corners of his mouth were honest. He said he didn’t believe it, but they were so high that he couldn’t hide it. Oh come to think of, I felt like I had to go back. I looked away from Cedric and naturally pulled out my watch.

But, oh my! Much more time has passed than I thought. Are we not late for class like this?

“Anyway, we’d better go back. Grand Lord… No, it’s already this time!”

I was surprised and hurriedly led Cedric out of the secret passage. When we came out, the secret passage was closed again, like it had been. After confirming that it was closed, I ran with Cedric and ran into the classroom. It’s also a problem to be late for class, but because I was worried that I would get a misunderstanding that the two of us disappeared.

Cedric is the son of a noble family who is playing a part in the empire. I am also… a noble lady, right?

Anyway, if we didn’t return for a long time, the imperial guards could have wondered and searched for us. There was no need to make them worry.
