I Played the Role of the Adopted Daughter Too Well
Chapter 41

The First Princess of Veratoux.

Medea Veratoux was the dukes trusted princess and was the most likely to be his successor.

At the age of ten, she became a black Veratoux, she became an apprentice knight at the age of eleven, and at twelve, she qualified as a knight of the Veratoux. And, the same year, she was sent to the Imperial Knights to subdue the goblin horde alone, and was recognized as a ninth-class regular knight.

It was unusual.

The Imperial Knights are divided by rank.

After passing the ninth through first grades as an apprentice knight, you become a regular knight and start from ninth-grade again.

People with outstanding qualities usually become ninth-grade knights around the age of twenty. Medea passed all the apprentice knight courses and immediately became a regular knight.

Numerous newspapers at the time covered this fact.

And, a year passed. All over the continent shook again. The newsletter scrambled to cover the incident as their new scoop.

Due to that achievement, Medea became an 8th-class knight at the age of thirteen. After a year she was promoted at super speed. This was also a first in history.

Her genius didnt end there.

The trolls were classified as high-level monsters. A predator that cannot be dealt with by ordinary people who are not seventh-grade or higher knights or wizards.

As she happened to pass by, Medea killed twelve of the trolls on the spot alone. By the time the reinforcements arrived, the situation had already ended.

Hensor, a fourth-grade knight who led the reinforcements, recalled:

When we arrived, everything was already over. Only the predatory species above the predatory species that live and breathe there. There was only Princess Medea.

Eventually, Medea was recognized for her work, and at the age of sixteen, she became a sixth-grade knight.

And, at the age of seventeen, she became a fifth-grade knight.

She had it at the age of seventeen that the outstanding gifted people of ordinary knight families could only achieve when they were in their thirties.

It was often said that from fifth-grade onwards, it is not an area of effort.

It was believed that she could not rise above it without her outstanding talent and luck.

At the age of eighteen, she became a fourth-grade knight. At the age of nineteen, she became a third-grade knight.

When she turned twenty. A great event struck the continent.

One hundred and twenty-two highly trained assassins from the western continent were found slaughtered

It was estimated that each one of them was equivalent to a second-grade knight.

Among them, some were even skilled at the level of first-grade knights.

It was said that the supervisor who was looking at the scene at the time was outraged. Coincidentally, the investigator was Hensor, who had gone out to support Medea a few years earlier.

Hence, who was in fourth-grade at the time, was also promoted to first-grade knight in recognition of his genius.

I was hit by one. And, Im helpless.

One did not hide his skills.

Veratouxs most destructive swordsmanship. Theres a trace of the 3rd swordsmanship.

There are only two people who can handle the three swords so freely.

The lord of the winter castle. And his shining first daughter, Princess Medea.

It turns out that Medea was the one who killed one hundred and twenty-two people.

She was awarded a star from Nelak, who was praised as the Emperor of Swords.

It was called a star, and was a special title that only first-class knights could receive. There were only about five hundred first-class knights on the entire continent, and among them, only about thirty knights received a star.

She was the first person on the continent to reach this level at the age of only twenty. People admired this wonderful record and praised Medea as a white wind.

That was already three years ago.

She is now twenty-three years old.

First class knight.

Among them, the first paladin Medea, who was given one star, knocked on the door.

The kid that got the most attention lately

To see Veratouxs youngest child.

Viola couldnt take her eyes off Medea.

Fluffy ebony hair.

Red eyes like jewels.

This was how it was expressed in the novel.

A strange rumor has spread to the western continent.

A beautiful witch with black hair and red eyes lives in the Central Continent.

You should never make eye contact with red eyes. You will be terribly eaten.

The reason these rumors spread to the western continent was because of Medea.

She calls herself such a terrible witch Besides, she didnt leave out the modifier beautiful.

Thats right.

Looking at her red ruby-like eyes, she felt as if she was drowning in a deep lake. As soon as she saw the First Princess, whom she dared to call herself an absolute woman, what she felt was a kind of awe.

Sister

That sister

She likes it.

The next Duke candidate must be like that.

Sister.

Im never going to do anything bad, so please let me go, sister. Please.

Would you like a cup of tea with me?

Sure.

I thought youd say no.

Why?

I came here suddenly without a word.

Oh. Its okay, youre the First Princess.

It is all right for her sister.

Thats just for visits I dont want.

Did you want it?

Yes.

Why?

I really wanted to experience the white wind.

Medea grinned. The rumors must have been greatly exaggerated.

No.

It was never exaggerated.

She is a genius who is born with the best talent and who fights for the best. She has always been and will always be.

Medea said, Three years ago. I remember the welcome dinner.

It was fun.

Really?

Yes.

Medea stared at Viola for a while.

Just then, Xenon brought strawberry milk and black tea. Viola drank strawberry milk and Medea drank black tea.

Sister has a business, so thats why you came looking for me?

Yeah, I heard you hurt Kundo.

For a moment, Viola was taken aback.

Eh? I hurt him? When?

There seems to be some misunderstanding.

It wasnt me, but Sir Hickson. In the training ground.

Yeah. Sure.

Mediahs eyes narrowed.

He had been badly wounded by Hickson. However, he clearly had injuries from Viola as well. She used a highly difficult technique to hit the inside of his body.

Do you want to hide your power? in front of me?

Hiding power is not bad.

It is a kind of wisdom to hide your claws until youre strong enough.

I understand your desire to hide your power.

She pulled a sword from her seat.

Sureung

A clear sword was heard.

The tip of her sword touched her throat, though Viola didnt respond.

I couldnt even see it.

She didnt even move that fast. It just seemed to move slowly and naturally.

When Viola came to her senses as she saw a blade in her throat. The blade was so sharp that she could feel the anticipation.

Just touching it will cut off my throat.

She imagined her neck being cut off.

Medeas anticipation was so sharp.

Xenon opened his mouth.

First Princess, this place is inside the Dukes mansion.

I know. But, I am a knight who has been given a star by Emperor Nelak. I dont think you know what that means.

King of swords.

The star given by Nellak, called the swordsman for short, had a great meaning. The proof that she could rule over all laws other than the star of the Emperor.

I became a one-star knight, and the emperors laws are higher than the dukes laws. So it doesnt matter if I draw a sword from here.

Then, Viola intervened.

Really?

What?

Is the Emperors law higher than that of the Duke really?

Xenons body trembled.

Princess?

Princess Violas insight and agility are well known. However, now that statement was overly dangerous. Of course, the Emperors not here, but it was still a very dangerous statement.

Viola. Youre a smart kid. You know what I mean, dont you?

Of course. But, I dont think the winter lords law is lower than the swords law.

Why?

Medea found Violas words strange. On what grounds was this child saying something similar to that of treason? What logic would she use?

Its Dad.

What?

I think my father is the strongest.

It was clearly stated in the novel.

The winter Lord Heron and the swordsman Nellak had a close fight, but after fighting for seven days and nights, Heron eventually won.

Though obviously, this was an informal duel.

It would be true that the laws of stronger people apply. At least here, in Veratoux.

.

Medea, who had gone through formal education and elite courses, was momentarily at a loss for words.

There was no brilliant logic.

This look was similar.

My dad is the strongest!

It was the appearance of a ten-year-old kid who claimed that

Medea had to clear her confused mind for a moment. She retrieved the sword from Violas neck. Naturally, her movements were also completely unreadable to Violas eyes.

Are you serious?

Yes. I mean. Does older sister have the same power as fathers special eyes?

Medea is/was also the heir to Herons true eyes. She has eyes that can grasp the sincerity of a person.

So, you must know that Im serious.

She cant help but be serious. Because Viola already checked everything through the novel. It was certain and true that her favorite character, Heron, was stronger.

Medea was a little embarrassed.

Is this child, an iron-blooded princess?

To be honest, she didnt look like an iron-blooded princess. She just looked like a child of her age.

Okay. Lets say so.

She had something to check.

Hiding your power is a good choice, but it shouldnt have been revealed.

.

And, if it was found out, you shouldnt have lied to me.

Actually, Medea was curious.

She knew what kind of power is hidden in Viola.

Although she had the optimal talent to become a black Veratoux, she chooses/chose the white Veratoux, and she wanted to know why she dared to injure Kundos body with a high-level technique.

Youll replace out when you put your swords together.

The mouth can lie, but the sword doesnt lie.

Medea spoke again.

Would you like to go to the training ground with me?

Viola was somewhat perplexed inside.

In fact, she didnt even know that Kundo had been hurt. She wasnt hiding it on purpose, she really didnt know.

Still Medea is not a character who can make a nonsensical force.

Viola nodded her head slowly.

Okay. Can I drink all the strawberry milk instead?

Once she took the time, she decided to think of the way.

If she is just a little bit wrong, everything may be exposed. Then, all plans would be ruined as well.

She would become a cowardly loser who chooses the white Veratoux because she is/was afraid of the black Veratoux.

I drink as slowly as possible to clear my mind.

However, Medea, a genius, interpreted it very differently.
