And so I came to the Lord's house. When I showed the request form and my guild card to the guards I was led in to a receiving room. I have been waiting for quite some time, so I talked with the guard.
「Well, the Lord's son has received a few instructors before, but it was a disaster...」
「Disaster?」
He kept on talking about that son in question.
「Well anyway, he was really a bit detestable, this year he is becoming 14. He would go to a merchant's store and kick things in there, if children come near him, he would hit them and laugh at them, and sometime a go after receiving a little sword practices, he tried taking down a soldier that can't fight against him」
「And the lord was tolerating that?」
「Because he is the only son, he was thinking that it is fine, but in case the son is incapable, a noble could adopt from other nobilities for a heir, but that would kind of make things messed up so that is a last resort」
Hmmm... A week with such a son huh... What can I say, Drew-san probably knew of this and he wants me to beat him into shape until the request is over. Oh, the other guard came back.
「Thank you for waiting, the lord wishes to speak with you for the time being.」
「I understand」
The request is only just to teach swordsmanship though I wonder if it would be useless. If those stories are true and he ends up as Lord, the town might be in danger.
「Got you!!」
「Hmmm?」
「Eh, Ahhh!?」
As I was walking inside the mansion with the soldier as a guide, a young man appeared from a corner wielding a sword, so I stepped aside and dodged his attack.
And that young man attacking couldn't stop his sword.
Clang!!
「Guh!」
「Ah...」
「Ahh!!」
It didn't hit me but the soldier in front of me received the hit. Fortunately the part of the sword that hit was the dull side and only a bruise was the damage to soldier. Because the strike was not executed well, it seems that it didn't in an instant death hit. But well, he still fell and groaned.
「Hey, it's an intruder!!」
「Are?...」
I was thinking that this person is just hopeless. And now he is even setting me up as an intruded. Un, it's definitely the lord's son is it. The soldiers that gathered were also in a confused state seeing the situation. Well, the young soldier that was guiding me fell on the ground. The sword that kid is using is gaudily decorated and the materials used for it seems expensive. Hey don't just drop your sword on the ground.
But well, the soldiers really can't help it but follow him. And so they surround me for the time being. The young man has a victory smirk pasted on his face. For now I will try persuading my innocence.
「I am an adventurer who was invited for a request this time, while I was being guided to where the lord is, I was attacked by that person but because I dodged, he ended up hitting the soldier instead, the sword over there is proof of that. 」
「Wrong!! It was this person who robbed my sword and tried to attack me!!」
「Attack you for what reason?」
「Ehh?」
He seems out of it and can't understand my question.
「You are the son of the lord, what kind of reason is necessary for me to attack you?」
