Actually, I Was The Real One
Chapter 11

They were also unaware of the rumors about Keira.
Political science, military science, philosophy, history, magic, swordsmanship. There were rumors that the top scholars said they had never taught someone with this extraordinary talent before.
No matter how outstanding a genius was, they still needed to strive to become experts in all areas. There were also many rumors praising how diligent he was.
She had studied her entire life, she definitely did not know how to play and act in the drinking party.
"Well..."
The sound of defeat exploded from their mouths. They feel an unexplained sense of guilt.
The captain wanted to join the drinking party because he wanted to get close to the knights but he knew they didn't want him there, so he stopped.
How sad is he?
Come to think of it, they think the way he apologizes sounds quite sullen. – Of course, this is only in their guilty imaginations.
A grim silence fell on the training ground.
What are we supposed to do?
Everyone just looked at each other.
"When I see him next time," Vice Captain Joseph broke the silence. "I'm going to convey my apology on behalf of everyone."
"We believe in you, Vice-Captain!"
"Please tell the Captain that he may come next time. No, he can join today!"
'Should we teach him how to play?' The thought crossed Joseph's mind.
But he was silent because everyone looked desperate.
"I'll try."
Still, he did not know to approach her.
Something is different with Keira today. It's not just his words and actions that are different. The entire aura changed.
Until yesterday, she looked like a person who was constantly standing on thorns, but now, the woman looked different.
Although it was a subtle change, Joseph, who could read people well, could definitely sense that he seemed to have changed overnight.
He pondered for a long time how to describe it.
"You look free."
Like the one who releases his burden.
What the hell happened to him?
In addition to that...
"To be honest, I want to be a respected leader like you. I only got that position because of my blood. I'm taking it from you because I feel insecure because it's just a woman without any achievements and qualifications."
"No matter what the reason, what I did was wrong. I'm sorry for saying this so suddenly, but I think it's something I have to say one day, and take the opportunity to apologize."
He didn't know he thought that way.
"So, you don't hate me ..."
He thinks he did. When he argued with her, he never saw it as a quarrel. He thought he didn't like it because he was lacking.
But it didn't happen at all.
When he realized that the Captain did not like him, a sense of relief spread in his heart.
A bright smile spread across his face.

"Tell Your Majesty I've come."
Keira did not expect that she could directly meet him because she had come without prior notice.
He was determined to wait at least thirty minutes but was proven wrong.
"Your Majesty says you can come in."
"Now?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"..."
As soon as Keira stood in front of her desk, Duke went straight to the point. "What the hell is going on?"
He was still the same person who hated small talk. Now that he was used to it, he was not confused.
Following his gesture, he gave a brief greeting before replying, "I want to thank you for sending me a therapist."
"I heard you didn't see it."
"Because I'm healthy. But thanks for your attention."
"Sending a notification is enough."
'All right then.'
As expected, his father did not change. Although it was a miracle that he returned to the past, it did not mean that his father's cold heart would melt.
He was glad that he had no hope.
"I won't bother Your Majesty just for that reason. I will stop the morning greetings from today. I think it's appropriate to tell you directly."
"..."
"I'm sure Your Majesty is busy in the morning but I bother you with my selfishness. It won't happen again."
"So that's why you didn't come today."
Keira bowed to show sincerity in her apology.
"You won't care anyway."
With his head bowed, he waited for his father's reply. Surprisingly, instead of instantly getting permission to do what he liked, he simply replied in silence.
In the end, Keira had to raise her head to look at Ludwig's expression.
"Your Majesty?"
Ludwig had his brows slightly furrowed as if he did not like something. Was he disappointed that he would not greet her again?
He couldn't help but wonder if he really felt that way.
I've decided to stop following you, but now you want me to do it?
If he wasn't the Grand Duke, he would have used all of his strength and hit him.
"I think it's an outdated habit to say my morning greetings ..."
"...Okay. I wonder why you survive if you're going to stop like this."
"That's stupid."
"ridiculous?
"Yes, it is foolish of me not to assume that what I have done for my own pleasure makes you uncomfortable."
Of course, that was not the reason, but he did not need to know.
"I have no intention of upholding the obsolete tradition. Do as you please."
"thank you. And I have another request for you."
"Hmm?"
Keira usually doesn't ask for help, especially since she worries it will trouble her father. He solves any problem himself.
"I've been exhausted lately. I want to resign as the Knight Captain for now."
"For the moment?"
"Yes, maybe two months."
When Cosette shows up, Keira will be suspected of being a fake princess and forced to resign as Captain. It's much better to go alone.
He gave his reasons, but he probably won't be back in that period. Moreover, he had a lot to investigate personally.
"Two months?"
"Yes. I want to rest a minute."
"Too long. You can't leave that position empty for that long. A month. I'll give you that much."
"How about a month and a half?"
Everyone in the office looked at Keira in surprise.
