Chapter 7
Chapter 07: Memory of the Demon Sword
The guy who ranted at me naturally lost his place and before I knew it, he was gone from the venue .
All the while, I was being introduced to guest after guest by Raydoke .
Most of them were just, well, insignificant, upper-class people, but there was one pair of men and women who caught my attention .
The man was in his forties and dressed in a very merchant-like manner . In a place like this, it was important to know their status and occupation at a glance .
The woman is about ten years old . She is dressed in a slightly tall, neat and clean dress .
Such a pair of men and women .
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness . I am Byron Allan . This is my daughter, Cindy . Please allow us to get acquainted . ”
” Yes . Is she your adopted daughter maybe?”
I pointed out, and the merchant who called himself Byron’s face stiffened for a moment .
“Gosh, you were aware of this before?”
“No,”
However, I just “get it” because of my experience from my previous life .
A man in his forties and a girl about ten years old . They don’t look like a father and daughter .
“I can tell by looking at her . ”
“Your highness . For the sake of future reference, perhaps you could explain to me why . ”
Byron was puzzled, but Reydouk was as calm as could be .
He interjected well and connected the conversation .
” Allan, you’re either the second or third generation, right?”
“Yes, indeed . As you stated, your honor . ”
“I suppose . The way you behave makes me feel like you were born into the upper class . And she doesn’t have that in her . ”
My reincarnation was that of the 13th Prince, an upper-class nobleman amongst the nobility, and at the same time, I have memories of my previous life .
I understand how the upper class, who were born into it, and those who were not, carry themselves .
I felt it and pointed it out .
Then the Third Vizier Reydouk smiled pleasantly .
“I see! That’s my highness . I’m impressed by your wisdom . ”
And then I added .
“And besides,”
“I wonder if there are any more . ”
” The girl’s a slave, isn’t she?”
” Ye-Yes . ”
“Wow! You understand that much?”
“Yeah . ”
Those eyes .
A person who has once fallen into slavery has a peculiar questioning look in their eyes .
When I was pointed out perfectly about his daughter, Byron, who was blown away by it, speaks out with a much calmer face than before .
“This girl, I bought her from a slave-trader, but she was different from the other kids and was smart, so I adopted her and taught her a lot of things . ”
” I see . Good, I like that . ”
As soon as I say that, there’s a groan .
I continue on regardless .
” Next time I will invite you to the house . I want to hear more about the girl . ”
” — oh! HAHA, with pleasure!”
Byron bowed his head with great joy, and he drew envious glances all around him .
It was because she was the best little Cinderella at this party, which suited the thirteenth prince’s taste, who was brought by him .
And Byron was clever .
Any more and he would get jealousy, and if he wasn’t good enough, he would displease me .
He whisked away from the center of the circle, taking his daughter with him .
“Prime Minister Reydouk . There’s another reason why I found out that the girl wasn’t his own daughter . ”
” I wonder what that is . ”
” Look,”
I scoffed my chin, and at the same time his daughter, Cindy, turned around with a flash .
“She turned this way . ”
‘I gave a little intimidation just over there, and that’s how she reacted . Ever since the first threat, she’s been protecting Byron with her own body . ”
” Ho-ho . ”
“A girl that young,”
“Yes, I see . A girl of that age would not normally take a stand for her parents . She’s the one to be protected . ”
“That’s what I’m talking about . ”
“From the very beginning, you have been observing it, haven’t you? I’m impressed by the breadth of your perspective, Your Highness . ”
I grinned at Raydoke, who rattled off compliments, and I let him resume the rest of his introductions to the other guests .

The next day, the 13th Prince’s residence .
After breakfast, I was stretching out in the garden when one of the maids arrived .
A familiar face, a maid by the name of Zoe .
“My lord,”
“Hmm, what?”
“The Third Vizier has sent a token of gratitude . What will you do?”
Zoe said and held out a sealed envelope to me .
The party was a success because I was there yesterday and as thanks for that, please deliver the ten thousand reeks .
This is what it says .
This is another standard of noblemen’s relations .
If you are not explicitly hostile to them, it is normal to receive it .
By the way, not everyone is able to give it to me .
Giving a gift to me, the prince, also requires status and events .
The ones I had yesterday were only Reydouk and Byron .
But Byron doesn’t seem to have a proud disposition .
He won’t be giving me a gift so soon .
I put the letter in an envelope and hand it to Zoe .
“Get it like usual . ”
“Understood!”
Zoe turns around and nods .
There was another servant right in the corner of her eyes, and he moved at Zoe’s gesture .
She must have gone to process the gratuity .
Now, there’s one thing I need to think about .
The magic sword .
Yesterday, I brought the Leviathan to its knees and took control of it .
So I even practically threatened him twice .
That’s fine, but I can’t rely on it forever .
If I’m going to hold the demon sword, I need to be able to wield the sword itself, otherwise it won’t look good .

Now what to do, I was wondering what to do – and then the emotion to communicate something from Leviathan flowed in .
It’s not words, it’s a simple emotion .
The feeling of an excited child .
“…hmmm . ”
“What is it, master?”
Zoe asked from the side .
I swallowed the words, “You’re still here?”
“I came up with something kind of funny,”
” Is it funny?”
“Just watch . ”
I walked off at a stalwart, and Zoe followed me .
We walked for a while, through the gardens that the gardener tends to every day .
Then we stood in front of one large tree .
It’s a pretty big tree, and even though I’m at least six years old now, I can’t get my hands on it to hold it .
Standing in front of that large tree, I pull out my Leviathan and unleash it .
Holding it upright – I swing it down .
“Waaah!”
She cheered .
There is no power, no speed . Those abilities are still at E or F or something like that .
I cut both sides of a large tree diagonally with that level of power .
“Wow! How did you do that, Master? It looked so effortless . ”
“On the contrary, it wasn’t enough for me . ”
With that, I cut the rest of the large tree once more and showed it to her .
A slash with all the force and weight I could muster .
The blade this time got caught in the middle of the large tree .
” Ugh . ”
“You seemed to be putting more effort into it now, but this time seems different, why is that?”
” This is an amateur’s way of cutting . This is the master’s–“
Leviathan remembered the movement of its former owner .

I traced the movement and swung down, and it was another blow with no power or speed, but it slashed the large tree further, cutting it into a circle .
“Wow! Wow! You look like an expert . ”
That’s the kind of move I’m talking about .
Yes, I wanted to be able to use it, and Leviathan told me about the movements of that guy’s former owner .
It’s probably because it’s a demon sword that chooses its owner, but most of its former owners are also capable of doing so .
Leviathan remembered those moves and techniques, and recreated them as it remembered them .
Even if my strength and speed were E or F, I could still be able to do expert-level slashes .
This would make him look good for a while .
And more .
“Heh . ”
” What’s happening this time?”
“You know this . ”
With that, I took out my magic splash and showed it to Zoe .
‘”Yes!’ It’s master’s trump card, isn’t it?”
“Yeah . I heard that Leviathan can do the same thing . Instead of consuming my magic and not draining myself, apparently it can only be used once an hour . ”
“I see . ”
“Let’s do some shooting . ”
Like an excited little rascal, Leviathan’s emotions took hold of me, and I gave it a shot too .
I raised the Leviathan’s blade and tried to shoot at the remaining remains of a large tree .
Just before I did, an instinct kicked in .
I hurriedly pointed the sword barrel downward .
There was a roar, the ground shook as hard as it could and Zoe fell on her butt .
“Owww……eh!”
Zoe, who had fallen on her butt, was surprised enough to scream when she saw what had happened .
I was a little surprised, as well .
A column of water more than five meters thick was released from Leviathan, which was pointed downward in a hurry .
It shot toward the ground and gouged out a large hole five meters in diameter with no visible bottom .
” Amazing………”
Unlike before, Zoe mumbled to herself mid-sentence .
