[Age 20: You've been out on your own for another year, and as you've stepped through the gates of the age of two, you've now become a renowned adventurer, and you've become a benchmark-like presence in the profession.]
[You've accomplished many commissions alone that were hailed as impossible.]
In just a few years, you've become a bright shooting star in the world of travelers, mercenaries, and adventurers.
[From a blind man who was disdained by everyone in the beginning to a legendary adventurer respected by everyone in the field, your growth has amazed everyone!]
As you became more famous, trouble came your way.
Though you've become famous, not everyone has seen you with their own eyes, and there are always a few idiots in this world who think that being blind doesn't make you an expert, and that your reputation is just purely blown out of proportion.
[And in the face of these douchebags who come to your door in an attempt to defeat you and then step on you to make a name for themselves, you've done a good job of carrying out your noble's qualities, and under normal circumstances you'd only chop off one of the opponent's fingers as a form of punishment.]
"Yo, I've got quite the temper inside this simulation."
"First, I slaughtered all the bandits who were robbing the place, and then I chopped off a finger of the person who came to the door to provoke me, that's quite a ruthless character."
"But that's normal, right?"
After all, in this simulation, one was a Blind Monk, was one expected to be a holy mother in this situation?
If you should strike, you should kill, just like the last simulation, if you don't get rid of the grass, it will grow again in the spring.
[Several years of training, your strength has also made a qualitative leap, you are bent on becoming stronger, without the disturbance of women, your rate of progress is said to be divine.]
[And as your strength grew higher and higher, the effect of your blindness on you gradually became less and less.]
Under your constant practice, your other senses have become very sharp, and you now even track enemies tens of meters away from you based on the slightest sound.
[You even topped the mercenary rankings with a 100% mission completion rate, and became the true top of the list with far more mission completion points than the second place finisher.]
[King of Mercenaries!]
This is an honor given to the strongest mercenary in the mercenary world, and holding this title means that you are already the strongest mercenary in the mercenary world.
You enjoy the respect and admiration of all mercenaries and adventurers, you are the brightest star in the mercenary world.
After becoming the King of Mercenaries, you have finally decided to end your journey, now that you have become strong enough, you feel it is time for you to return home.
[Age 21: Having finished your journey, you finally return to your home.]
[After several years, your father is in tears at the sight of you coming home.]
[You once left as a child he had to bend down to touch, and now you're taller than he is.]
[At a dinner party on your first day back home, you told your parents in detail about your experiences over the years.]
[How you became a swordsman under Lewis' training.]
[And how you left Lewis to begin your own travels after a little success.]
[Though you describe it as easy, your parents know how hard it was for you.]
They were proud of you.
[Having just returned home, you didn't have much work to do, and at your parents' arrangement, you put on flashy clothes and enjoyed a life of leisure.]
[After returning home, your life seems to have slowed down.]
[The adventurous life that was once lived at the tip of a sword is gone from you in an instant.]
[You enjoy everything a nobleman should enjoy.]
[However, enjoying your life at home, you were attentive enough to notice some blind spots.]
[You notice that your father always leaves early and comes home late.]
[And you often hear servants whispering behind your back that something is wrong with the country's borders.]
[Yet whenever you ask, the servants keep their mouths shut.]
Finally, one night, you stopped your father, who had just returned from the palace, and questioned him about what was going on.
After realizing that he couldn't hide it any longer, your father told you the truth.
"The king has died and the border is in danger.
Before you came home, the old king's health was failing, and during the time you were home, the old king went to God before he could hold out any longer.
Not long after the old king's death, the enemy launched an attack on the country.
[At the first moment of the old king's death, Princess Bianka led her troops to the border to fight against the enemy, while the young Prince Stan hastily inherited the throne in the heat of the moment]
"This is, the last attack plot is here."
"But this time the old king died of illness? And Dull Goose actually wasn't trapped by the other side setting up a scheme?"
[The old king wasn't a wise king, that much you knew all along.]
[That's why you must become strong.]
[In reality, you are an ambitious person, and you determined from a long time ago that this country would not last long in the hands of the Bianka family.]
[The real purpose of you becoming strong is to actually take this country down at some point and then become the king of this country!]
"?????"
"I blanch, I'm the one who underestimated me in this simulator, I thought you were thinking of defending your country? Turns out you meow you want to be the king yourself?"
"Tough enough!"
"But I like it!"
[You've been waiting for a chance, a chance that could be enough for you to win this country.]
[And now, the chance you've been waiting for has come.]
[The old king died, the new prince is still ignorant at the age of ten, and Princess Bianka isn't cut out to be king, coinciding with the border emergency, and now that the country's gates are about to be trampled by the iron hooves of outsiders, this is just the right time for you to make your mark.]
With your reputation in the mercenary world and the wealth you've saved up over the years, you've raised a team of over 5,000 people with a single call to arms.
[Everyone in this team is an expert, and they have signed a contract with you that they will unconditionally follow your orders within a month.]
[This, is the real reason why you became an adventurer and a mercenary.]
[Although the mercenaries and adventurers are nationals of this country, these people are not nobles or royalty, and under the current state system, these people don't care too much about the state of the country.]
[In reality, for these people, it doesn't matter if the king is Bianka or Stan or Lu Yu.]
[And because of this, these powerful mercenaries won't even engage in a war to protect their country.]
[And that is exactly what you need, it is true that the mercenaries will not take orders from the country, but they will take orders from you who already belongs to the king within the mercenary world, especially since you paid a large sum of money for it.]
[After completing your preparations, you led this team of mercenaries to the country's borders.]
[You did not tell the mercenaries that followed you about your true purpose.]
[Soon, you arrived at the border fortress.]
Imperial Border-Fortress, Barracks.
Sitting on a chair, Bianka looked towards her lunch, after touching her stomach to confirm that she wasn't very hungry, Bianka called out to the guards standing at the door.
"Come man."
Hearing the princess's voice, the attendant standing at the door immediately entered the camp.
"Take this meal down, and handle it just like before."
Hearing Bianka's order, this attendant wanted to speak.
This wasn't the first time Princess Bianka had refused to eat, ever since she had learned that the military food was in short supply, Princess Bianka had begun to reduce the number of times she ate, and then took the portion of lunch that belonged to her down and distributed it to the other soldiers in the barracks.
"Your Highness, you are like this ..."
Just as the soldier was planning to persuade Bianka, a beautiful red figure walked in from outside the camp tent.
Shakespeare: "Bianka, you won't be able to hold up like this."
Looking up at her friend who walked into the tent, Bianka shook her head.
"Shakespeare, you know my condition, eating or not eating doesn't affect me much."
Hearing Bianka say that, Shakespeare then frowned and glared at Bianka.
"Yes, for a short period of time it is not much of an effect, but you are the commander-in-chief, Bianka, your every word and action affects everyone here, have you ever thought about it, if you fall down due to starvation on a certain day, then all the people here will die because of your fall?"
At Shakespeare's remark, Bianka quickly returned the favor, "I am not going to fall, I ..."
"You what you? Eat properly for me!"
Not waiting for Bianka to retort again, Shakespeare took the big bowl with rice from the soldier's hand then placed it on the table in front of Bianka.
Looking at his friend being so brutal, Bianka couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Just when did the Shakespeare who used to be obedient to herself become what she is now?
Was it from the time she took over the command after coming to the fortress? Or was it earlier?
Bianka suddenly laughed.
I can't imagine it, that noble girl who used to tremble in fear when she casually glared at her has now grown to the point where she can stand in front of her and loudly scold her.
Seeing that Bianka not only didn't eat but also smiled stupidly, Shakespeare said without any good humor, ''What? Your Highness Bianka is still not eating? Is this intended to be fed by me?"
Hearing Shakespeare say that on purpose, Bianka smiled even more obviously.
"No, I was just thinking, Shakespeare, you've really changed then."
"..."
Hearing Bianka say that, Shakespeare was silent for a moment, then she sighed.
"Your Highness Bianka, I have indeed changed, but guess who exactly is the reason I have become the way I am now?"
After saying this, Shakespeare put on a sulky look.
"Okay, okay, got it, I'll just eat."
Being given such a look by Shakespeare, Bianka didn't be stubborn anymore, picking up the rice bowl and started to feed the rice into her mouth one bite at a time.
"That's right, as the commander-in-chief, how can you not eat properly, Bianka? Besides, no matter how short of food there is, it's impossible to let the Lord Commander go hungry ah, if it really comes to a place where you have to go hungry, then I might choose to just surrender."
"How dare you!!!"
Hearing the word surrender, Bianka glared at Shakespeare.
As the country's princess, Bianka would never surrender.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness Bianka has said so, how could I dare to surrender?"
The word surrender, only Shakespeare, who was now a military advisor, would use it to flirt with Bianka.
Eating his meal, Bianka suddenly remembered something.
"Shakespeare, you said, where is he now?"
Him?
Hearing this word he, Shakespeare was first flabbergasted for a moment, then it was an immediate reaction.
"He should be in some secret realm right now, right?"
Who this he in Bianka's mouth was, Shakespeare naturally knew.
The last news of that person was what she heard before she and Bianka came to this fortress, and the content was that that person had become the legend of the mercenary world-King of Mercenaries.
"The secret realm, ah, didn't he become the king of mercenaries, why does he still need to go down to the secret realm?"
Bianka was a bit puzzled, isn't the King of Mercenaries the strongest mercenary, why does he still need to go down to the secret realm?
"Who told you that the king of mercenaries doesn't need to go down to the secret realm, ah your highness Bianka, no wonder you had to drag me before coming to the fortress, with this IQ of yours, I estimate that in less than three days the enemy army will be able to trick you out of the city and then capture you."
Hearing Shakespeare laugh at his own brain is not too good, Bianka does not retort, to fight, ten Shakespeare are not her opponent, but to arrange the army and marching, Shakespeare is indeed much better than her.
It is precisely because of this that she was dead set on pulling this childhood friend and love rival along with her before she came to the fortress.
After all, the two of them had fought since they were children, and Bianka could confidently say that she knew better than anyone else how capable Shakespeare was.
In terms of marching and fighting as well as arranging troops, it was true that even ten Bianka could not compare to one Shakespeare.
"Okay, don't smile stupidly, don't worry, Lu Yu, he is definitely living better than you and I. He is the king of mercenaries, and in the mercenary world, he is an existence that is admired by millions of people.
To compare the popularity he might not be as good as you, the princess, but to talk about other places, you really can't compare to him."
"That's good." Bianka nodded.
"He's already worked hard in his life to become the king of mercenaries, he must be able to live a good life in the future."
Shakespeare rolled his eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, my Princess Highness, don't you care about Lu Yu now, okay, now that the army is pressing in, we both don't know how long we can hold out, why don't you care more about ourselves first?"
"Ourselves?"
Hearing Shakespeare say that, Bianka smiled shallowly.
"Do you really care what happens to the two of us?"
"Or what?"
"That's simple, Shakespeare, if the fortress really can't be defended one day, you should go and find Lu Yu, he's now the king of mercenaries, I'm sure with him around, you're sure that you won't have to worry about your future life."
Shakespeare glanced at Bianka with an expressionless face, "What about you?"
"Me?"
"I'm a princess, as a princess, I naturally have to fight until the last moment ah~"
