Qualifications of the Mind (6)

In fact, he was a little apprehensive from the moment Lisa said she was leaving at this point. The swordsmanship competition was just around the corner.

“Sister, but this is your last swordsmanship contest.”

Jimin finally raised his voice with a serious expression.

“Of course, you will lose to Taehyung, but you will be able to hold on for a lot longer than last time because you have improved a lot…”

“Thank you very much for the detailed compliment.”

Lisa answered bluntly and Jimin then continued his speech.

“If you don’t attend, our parents will be very worried. It’ll be rough.”

“Why?”

“I mean, I’m not coming here on purpose to send you to the swordsmanship contest. I’m curious about your ranking.”

“Can you believe me? I don’t think you’d believe me.”

“Even if I don’t believe you, you can reduce their worries from 100 to 99 anyway.”

“Ha, but… It would be nice if you could elevate Park’s name at this point.”

“Sister.”

Jimin bit his lower lip for a moment and thought.

“If that’s the case, then Taehyung…”

“No, Taehyung will participate.”

Lisa resolutely shattered Jimin’s expectations.

“So if you do well, you’ll be second, but that’s great anyway.”

“…Thank you for the precise and detailed compliment.”

“And one more.”

She stopped Jimin as if she was only going to say what she had to say.

“These days, there are a lot of illegal drugs circulating because of swordsmanship competitions.”

“There always is.”

“This time with some particularly serious drugs… Prince Bogum personally cracked down on it. This is the report.”

Jimin accepted the thick report Lisa had given him. It was a document that analyzed the users by tracing the distribution route of an illegal drug.

“Prince Bogum? You’re talking about three bodies…”

“It’s okay. From what I saw from those close to me, fortunately, there is only one body to sit on the throne.”

Lisa spoke lightly, then she looked into Jimin’s eyes and added.

“Deliver it to headquarters before the swordsmanship contest. Then we will take care of filtering the subjects and testing them.”

“I, we?”

“Prince Bogum will go with me… Taehyung might be a little late. So the only person I can trust is you.”

“Unbelievable.”

“I can’t help it. It’s also a matter for the royal family, so it’s a bit heavy.”

“…The royal family?”

“To be precise, the Empress… Well, you have nothing to worry about.”

Jimin, who didn’t want to take on such an important task, had a sad expression on his face, but he couldn’t help it. All of Jimin’s reliable knights would accompany her on this itinerary.
