Chapter 150: The Miraculous Little Sword

A room in the compartment where the fifth prince resides in the royal palace.

Tauro was frankly surprised to see Prince Flue’s growth, which was different from the last time he met him there.

The chubby, egocentric appearance was gone and the chubby parts seemed to have been taken away as nourishment by his growth, so it was no wonder he was surprised to see how slender he had become.

“Long time no see, my friend and the young lady with you. Please take your seats.”

Prince Flue calmly offered them a seat.

“Do you know why I’ve invited you here today?”

Prince Flue asked Tauro, of course.

Tauro sensed Prince Flue’s unusual mood, but he did not recognize it.

Was he talking about Aeris?

“I don’t know, Your Highness.”

“…Then I’ll tell you. Why did you come to King’s Landing and not meet me first, Tauro?”

In the way he said it, I could clearly see the face of the former Prince Flue.

He’s still the prince I’ve known for a long time.

No, I can see that he’s growing as a prince.

But I got the impression that his thoughts and his earnest character had not changed.

“I couldn’t afford to cause any trouble for you, your Highness…”

Tauro said without pausing when the prince questioned him.

“How could I not help my friend when he is in trouble? How could I not be annoyed?”

The prince sighed exaggeratedly and glanced at Tauro.

“I should have informed my friend first and thank you for your concern.”

Tauro bowed his head and thanked Prince Flue.

“Alright, then, I’ll ask for more details, Tauro. I’m sure your companion, the daughter of the Marquise of Van Dyne, would like to do the same.”

Prince Flue listened to their conversation.

“I see. The Marquise de Van Dyne is an important vassal to the royal family. I’m sure my brother and sister would agree with me. We do not want the bloodline of the marquise to be severed in such a way. Besides, even I know that the Marquis has contributed to the country in dungeon exploration, so I will let His Majesty and Mother hear about it.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Aeris thanked him.

“No, it’s okay. What I can do for you is very little, but my friends’ companions are very important to me as well, you can count on me. I’ll call you Aeris, too. Feel free to call me Flue as well.”

Prince Flue replied and Aeris nodded.

“Yes. Then I shall call you Flue-sama here.”

She answered.

“Aeris you definitely understand. Tauro only calls me ‘His Royal Highness Prince Flue’ in a very strange way.”

“Your Highness, I’m a commoner, so I’m not like Aeris. If anyone else hears me talking like that, I won’t complain even if I have to be killed.”

Tauro laughed at Prince Flue’s complaint.

“I understand. As for you, Tauro, I don’t blame you. But a friend is a friend. If you’re in trouble, you can count on me.”

Prince Flue left his seat after saying that, went to the back room to get something and came back immediately.

“I used to be able to thank you only in the form of money. I thought it best to have it made by a craftsman with a good reputation these days.”

Prince Flue then presented Tauro with a sword.

“The handle of this sword bears the royal coat of arms. My father has given me permission to give it to you. If you’re in trouble, you can show this sword and you’ll be given access to the kingdom and you will be able to do all sorts of things in the country.”

There was a cover on the handle and when he removed it, he found the royal coat of arms.

Tauro, surprised by the gift, appraised it with his “true eyes” and was surprised again.

The small sword “Tauro” by the master swordsmith Angus, which grants +6 agility, +4 swordsmanship, and the light attribute.

“What’s this? Is the person who made it a blacksmith in the city of Saisi?”

“I remember that Sebas reported to me that he was a blacksmith in the city of Saisi, the same as Tauro. Hmm? Does Tauro have the ‘appraisal’ skill?”

“No, I don’t have the ‘appraisal’ skill, but I do have abilities similar to that.”

“Oh, I see. This small sword was one of several candidates and coincidentally or not, the blacksmith had named this small sword ‘Tauro,’ and I liked it. Take it.”

Once again, Prince Flue presented the small sword to Tauro.

The royal coat of arms was a burden, but he didn’t expect to find a sword made by Angus here.

And moreover, that he would name the small sword ordered by the royal family after Tauro….

Angus himself would never have thought that the sword was ordered to be given to Tauro, whom he had called his master at one time, but coincidence led to coincidence and it was a miraculous coincidence at best.

There was no way he could refuse.

“I’m very grateful.”

Tauro knelt down and reverently accepted the small sword “Tauro” from Prince Flue’s hand.

Then the “voice of the world” came into Tauro’s brain.

“One of the activation conditions for the special skill [&%$#], <Miracle Worker>, is confirmed. [Good Luck] has been acquired.”

It was Tauro who again gained another ability at an unexpected timing.
