Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 171

 

115. You’ll Know When You See It

 

Now we’re leaving the Imperial Palace.

 

We were briefly delayed by Chiron’s rampage, but I actually received praise because of that incident.

 

Chiron’s escape wasn’t my fault, and if it weren’t for me, some people might have been seriously injured.

 

And Chiron probably would have been badly hurt too.

 

Since they had even pulled out the paralysis device, the only way to subdue him would have been magic from the magic corps.

 

Well, I can’t argue if they say I caused the rampage by removing the paralysis device.

 

But anyway, didn’t I drain all his energy by taking him around to play?

 

For reference, that fellow Chiron ran around the equestrian training ground for almost five hours without rest.

 

Thanks to that, the other knights who were training stared at us in disbelief for quite a while.

 

Running for almost five hours without rest is proof that he’s a fellow with tremendous stamina.

 

Of course, I’m amazing too.

 

I endured five hours on top of him.

 

And in the end, Chiron got tired first.

 

“If it weren’t for you, not only the attendants but also the guards would have been seriously injured.”

 

The 3rd Prince, Edward, clicked his tongue while looking at Chiron, who was being ‘well-behaved’ at the place where he came out to see Dane off.

 

“How on earth did you subdue him? I mean, I naturally couldn’t even think of trying since long ago, but I still had some hope.”

 

“It just happened somehow.”

 

“That’s something that would make the knights who failed to tame that fellow angry to hear, hahaha.”

 

Edward burst into laughter at my words.

 

Edward then recounted all the things that happened after I entered the Imperial Palace.

 

“You came in and caught His Majesty the Emperor’s fancy, and even presented excellent tribute. Honestly… it’s been really long since I’ve seen His Majesty the Emperor so satisfied.”

 

Edward’s hand landed on my shoulder.

 

“So I’m grateful. Dane Sogress.”

 

“If it pleased him, I’m the one who should be grateful.”

 

I thought it was just ceremonial words, but Edward seriously shook his head.

 

“No. Thanks to you, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be thinking quite seriously.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“About shedding the old grudges with the nobles.”

 

Edward smiled meaningfully.

 

“Didn’t you say it? ‘The Empire must become one.'”

 

“Those are words anyone knows.”

 

“Knowing something and saying it while knowing are different stories. After the war ended, no one dared to say such words in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and no one felt the need to say them either…”

 

Edward’s hand on my shoulder tightened.

 

“But you brought it up. Moreover, the son of Count Sogress. A young boy who’s only 14 years old.”

 

“…”

 

I think so too.

 

Reconciliation.

 

Honestly, the nobles won’t want reconciliation.

 

They’ll just want to continue enjoying the benefits they’ve been seeing while maintaining this appropriate tension and balance.

 

But then the Empire will collapse someday.

 

Whether through internal strife or external invasion.

 

I’m not particularly patriotic, but I don’t want the country where my family lives to become chaotic.

 

That’s why I said it.

 

“If you said it prepared to be punished… your courage is remarkable.”

 

Prepared to be punished.

 

“I didn’t say it thinking I’d be punished. He didn’t seem like someone who would punish me either.”

 

No matter how much of a tyrant the Emperor is, or how strange his temper, he wouldn’t touch little kids.

 

I just thought that way.

 

As if I’d say such dangerous words without any plan, being crazy.

 

Well, if he really was such a mad emperor, I would have prepared other methods.

 

“Hahaha… That’s so like you. It’s really strange. You seem to move without hesitation, yet you prepare everything. I’ll need that now too.”

 

Right, the Eastern Front.

 

A place where sporadic local battles with Drenik and small-scale invasions by barbarians continue.

 

Edward will be leaving for that place soon.

 

“When exactly are you departing?”

 

“Soon. Probably around the time you’re spending your second semester.”

 

“I’d like to see you once before you go.”

 

“Mm. I was naturally planning to do that. Ah, I heard Leila’s big brother is there. I should go greet him and have various conversations.”

 

At those words, Leila’s eyes lit up.

 

“Your Highness, when you meet him, I’d be grateful if you could convey this message. Please tell him to write letters frequently.”

 

“Haha. I’ll definitely do that.”

 

Anyway, it was time for both Edward and us to go our separate ways again.

 

“Well, it’s about time to go.”

 

“It seems so.”

 

“Please return safely, Dane Sogress.”

 

Edward gave his farewell greeting and suddenly added:

 

“My dear friend.”

 

I too looked at Edward and said:

 

“I hope Your Highness the Prince will also be well. Since you’re my friend.”

 

“…Those words are good. Friend.”

 

We left the Imperial Palace with Edward’s smile behind us.

 

“Neigh.”

 

With our party increased by one compared to when we entered.

 

* * *

 

The first thing I did when I returned to the Academy was to scout out a place for our crazy horse… no, for Chiron.

 

Chiron was definitely a wild one.

 

“Neigh neigh! Neigh neigh neigh!”

 

“Neigh neigh!”

 

The horses in the Academy dormitory stables were in complete chaos.

 

“Wh-what kind of horse is this?”

 

“A horse I need to stable here.”

 

“Good heavens…”

 

Chiron not only had a much larger build than the other horses, but made them scared just by making eye contact.

 

“Neigh!”

 

He suddenly reared up on his front legs, startling the other horses-

 

Gulp, gulp.

 

He sucked up the water from the water trough and then sprayed it all over another horse.

 

“Neigh neigh neigh!”

 

“Neigh neigh!”

 

Thanks to that, the horses in the stable were in chaos.

 

I guess this is what they call establishing the pecking order.

 

“Neigh.”

 

Chiron laughed as if he was very satisfied. I can’t get used to this. How does a horse laugh like a person?

 

“Stop.”

 

“Neigh.”

 

“I won’t say it twice.”

 

“Neigh…”

 

When I stopped him, Chiron was about to suck up water again but stopped and became dejected.

 

The Stable Keeper also had a dazed expression.

 

“What are you… talking about exactly?”

 

“It’s a fine horse with good bloodline from Drenick.”

 

“….”

 

And we were kicked out.

 

He said that while other places might be fine, this place was absolutely not allowed.

 

Since he was practically taking full responsibility for horse management, he couldn’t bring in a horse that would cause problems.

 

“Can’t be helped.”

 

“Puhiing.”

 

In the midst of this, This Guy Chiron had a proud expression, reminding me of Karnas.

 

Right about now, he’d be having fun playing with Little Sister, so I should let the two meet soon.

 

“Wow. Amazing. What’s that? A horse?”

 

“It’s so big… As expected, even the horse that Dane Sogress brings around is different.”

 

“Look at the shine on its coat. That’s no joke.”

 

“Wait, I feel like I’ve seen that horse somewhere before…”

 

In the midst of this, Chiron drew attention from all directions.

 

Thanks to that, Fellow held his head up even more proudly with a satisfied expression.

 

This Guy is the type who enjoys people’s attention.

 

“You like it? Getting attention?”

 

“Puhihihing.”

 

It’s certain.

 

This Guy enjoys attention.

 

So This Guy can’t be kept in an ordinary stable.

 

There’s no telling what kind of trouble he’ll cause while I’m away.

 

Even if he doesn’t run away, he’ll definitely cause accidents.

 

“Then where should I keep him.”

 

The club room building that I visit frequently doesn’t have a stable, and putting him in another lecture hall would be too far away…

 

“Ah.”

 

A good place just came to mind.

 

I immediately took Chiron and headed to a place we visited as frequently as our dormitory and club room.

 

Bonia Forest.

 

To be precise-

 

“…What’s this guy again?”

 

It was where the forest keeper, Cassare, was.

 

Cassare was chopping firewood as a pastime when he became dazed seeing me suddenly appear with a giant horse.

 

“Last time it was a dragon… this time it’s an enormously big horse… what kind of Fellow are you?”

 

“I’m not really sure about that either, but can I keep This Guy Here?”

 

“Well, that’s… fine I guess… but there’s no stable Here.”

 

“Well, we can just build one.”

 

A stable can be built easily enough.

 

There happens to be good materials available too.

 

Wood that’s more than enough to build a stable and still have tons left over, and incredibly sturdy wood at that.

 

“Don’t tell me you’re…”

 

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”

 

It’s the Tree of Death that I cut down with a single stroke.

 

This is more useful in various ways than I thought.

 

Should I hold off on selling it for now?

 

“Building one Here would be perfect. What do you think?”

 

This Guy Chiron is definitely the type who’ll rampage in some way if I’m not around.

 

So for now, I need an extremely sturdy stable.

 

A stable that absolutely won’t break.

 

“Puhiing?”

 

Chiron seemed curious as he peered toward me. I waved my hands and continued speaking.

 

“Keep him Here, and just open the door periodically – that would be perfect.”

 

“Open the door?”

 

“This Guy would get frustrated if he’s just locked up all the time, so it’s to let him go play.”

 

Cassare looked at me for a moment as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

“Is that guy some kind of legendary unicorn or three-headed horse? Do you know what kind of forest this is?”

 

It was right when Cassare said that.

 

“Kirererk.”

 

A monster happened to approach, and I said to Chiron.

 

“Can you handle that thing?”

 

“Puhiing.”

 

Chiron snorted.

 

As if asking what I took him for.

 

Then-

 

Thud!

 

In an instant, he kicked off the Ground and charged out to ram the monster-

 

“Kirerererererk-!”

 

The monster let out a single scream and was sent flying far away, crashing into a tree.

 

“Puhihing!”

 

Chiron raised his head proudly as if asking if I saw that.

 

I shrugged my shoulders.

 

“How about it?”

 

“…No need to worry.”

 

With Chiron’s level, he could easily play around with the monsters in this forest.

 

Plus he’d grow too.

 

Though I’m not sure how horses grow.

 

“How do you like it Here, horse meat?”

 

“Puhihing!”

 

Fellow laughed as if he liked it.

 

Right, he’s not the type to stay cooped up in a stable after coming out into the Outside World.

 

Since he’s the type who’ll rampage without me anyway, letting him loose moderately is a good method.

 

“Alright. I owe you anyway, so I’ll try building a stable. Or we could do it together.”

 

“I have somewhere to go soon during vacation. Ah, there’s a Fellow who can draw the blueprints.”

 

I thought of Ernest.

 

He draws well and has knowledge about architecture, so he could easily design a simple stable.

 

“But really… he’s an incredible Fellow. That monster he just sent flying may look small, but its strength is tremendous.”

 

Cassare clicked his tongue.

 

Well, I would have done the same.

 

Wondering what kind of horse this was.

 

“Anyway, so when do I need to finish building it?”

 

“During vacation.”

 

“That’s plenty of time. Let’s see, if I bring the blueprints and start building right away… about two weeks should do it. Where are you going to keep This Guy in the meantime?”

 

“Ah, there’s somewhere to go during that time anyway.”

 

“Somewhere to go? Ah, are you returning to your Family House? Hmm. That Fellow would certainly be reliable.”

 

I shook my head.

 

“I’m going to the Northern Region.”

 

“Northern Region…?”

 

At his expression that seemed to ask if it was really the Northern Region he was thinking of, I nodded.

 

“Yes. To the north. To Atalia Island.”

 

“Were you from the Theology Department?”

 

“Not me, but I’m following where a kid from the Theology Department is going.”

 

“Hmm… Even though horses are strong against cold, the northern region is on a completely different level…”

 

I know that too.

 

The north, especially Atalia Island, is a place where bitter cold strikes.

 

It’s absolutely not a place to set foot in without proper cold-weather equipment, which is why it’s used as ascetic training grounds.

 

But it doesn’t matter.

 

This guy seems like he’ll endure it.

 

“You, do you handle cold well?”

 

“Puhiing? Puhiing.”

 

The fellow snorts as if asking what I take him for.

 

No matter how I look at it… he seems human.

 

This guy couldn’t possibly be one born from an egg like Karnas.

 

“I wonder if this fellow and Karnas will get along well.”

 

“Puhiing.”

 

The fellow has an expression as if telling me to bring them and see.

 

Hmm.

 

Well, I’ll find out once I let them meet.

 

How the hierarchy will be established.
