Rebirth of the Ruined Noble

Chapter 37 A Way To Meet The Emperor

Kaiser Von Brittan.

The current Emperor of the Mauryan empire. The one who rules over eight provinces and the possessor of the mythical seal.

Despite such exhilarating titles, he is also the father of four children.

The first Prince, Nox von Brittan, son of Queen Guinevere. He is the current crown prince of the Mauryan empire and the most likely candidate to ascend the throne.

The second Prince, Evergrant von Brittan, son of the emperor's second wife, Lady Aquitaine. Despite his superior talent in swordsmanship and magic compared to the first prince, he chose to step down from the fight for the throne at an early age, as he had no interest in becoming the emperor.

The third prince of the empire, Ashborn von Britton, a half-blood of the emperor born to a maid, who later become the emperor's concubine. Rumors has it that Ashborn is eyeing on the throne but so far there has been no quarrel between the princes.

Finally, the only princess of the Mauryan empire and the beloved daughter of the emperor Kaiser and Queen Guinevere, Aurora von Britton. A beauty who was said to be blessed by the mana itself. The citizen of the Mauryan call her as the reincarnation of the goddess Aria due to her mesmerizing beauty and kind nature.

Aurora possesses exceptional talent in both close combat fighting and magic. Additionally, she is awakened with the rare spirit magic, a trait found in only one in every 100,000 individuals. And now, such an extraordinary individual stood before me.

"Huh? Did I disturb you?" Her voice as she turned towards me was charming yet soothing to hear.

'The Princess!'

A way to meet the emperor! I think I just found one!

As I am still weak, making an achievement significant enough to catch the attention of the emperor seemed nearly impossible.

'Although I could ask my father for help, I don't have a valid reason to back it up...'

I couldn't simply say that the fire dragon Ugram, which our Pendragon family has been caring for generations, might suddenly go on a rampage and destroy a quarter of the empire.

My father would likely consider me a lunatic, let alone believe such a claim.

Yet, in my current predicament, I saw a potential path to meet the emperor.

'If I get closer to the princess somehow...'

Then there would definitely be opportunities to meet the emperor.

Weren't there many rumors that the emperor loves his daughter more than anything? If I properly make use of the princess, then meeting the emperor wouldn't be a pipe dream.

".....Are you okay?"

I was so lost in thought that I forgot to reply to the princess.

"I am fine, Your Highness. I was just surprised to see you here in the training grounds."

Generally, mage students didn't like to come to the training grounds, their excuse being that they couldn't stand the sweat smell of barbarians.

Of course, there were exception to it, like Julia and princess Aurora, who along with magic also trained in close combat.

"You were surprised?"

"I thought your highness wouldn't like it here in the training grounds"

Aurora chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Why would I not like it? While I do enjoy the elegance and finesse of magic, honing my skills in close combat is crucial as well."

As she said, close combat training was crucial for an individual, especially for mages as they would be the main target in a party during the fight.

Besides, princess Aurora had an immense talent in Spirit magic along with swordsmanship.

She never shied away from improving her skills. The thin rapier sword hanging on her waist is a proof to that.

"I see, I apologies for my narrow thinking."

Of course, I was aware of how the princess equally valued magic and close combat but I am trying to build a conversation here, so I had to say that.

"Umm~ if I may, what is your name?"

"..."

f*ck the conversation! she didn't even know my name!

"Forgive me your highness, to think I forgot to introduce myself, I am Eren Pendragon."

"Pendragon?....you are from the pendragon family?"

"Yes, your highness."

"Wow! I heard that your family take cares of a dragon! Have you seen it too?"

She seemed like an innocent, curious child, her innocence shining so brightly that it was blinding.

"Unfortunately, I still haven't had the opportunity ."

There was rule in the pendragon family that until one turn eighteen years of age, they would not be allowed to meet the dragon, the exact reason is unknown but my father always said the same when I asked him to show me the Dragon in my past life.

"Oh! Is that so...."

She seemed disappointed for some reason.

"...! Ah! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is A-"

"Aurora von Brittan, I would be a fool not to know the name of a beautiful young maiden such as your highness."

Aurora's cheeks flushed slightly, a hint of bashfulness gracing her features.

"You are too kind."

"Not at all, I only speak truth.", the smile on the princess's face widened hearing my words.

'She is weak to compliments, I see.'

The princess seemed more gullible than I thought!

'There is a chance.'

I was worried about how I could meet with the emperor, but Princess Aurora has appeared like a bridge between me and the emperor.

'I just need to strengthen the bridge before getting on.'

Although the princess seemed innocent, I shouldn't be reckless with her.

After all, she is the princess. If something were to go wrong, let alone getting help from the emperor, it would be a blessing if he didn't send soldiers to claim my head

I can't push my luck, I will get closer to the princess slowly and when the right time arrives, I will ask her to arrange a meeting with the emperor.

'Perfect!'
