Who Says I’m Not a Legitimate Adventurer?

This boy named Lance was definitely not some Adventurer who had grown up struggling in the countryside.

For all anyone knew, he might be an illegitimate child or even a legitimate prince of the Pendragon Royal Family, deliberately fostered in White River Province because of some brutal palace power struggle!

Or perhaps... he belonged to that surviving branch of the legitimate royal bloodline left behind after the great royal upheaval several hundred years ago?

As long as he continued thinking along those lines, any one of those possibilities was enough to make Vance's legs go completely weak.

He suddenly shuddered violently.

That blind fool Ilya!

Just now, he had nearly handed the slot of a little prince who very likely possessed pure royal blood to the useless son of some damned count!

Naturally, Vance's uncontrollable trembling did not escape the notice of the two people present, especially Lance, whose gaze immediately shifted toward him.

Panic flashed through Vance's heart, and he immediately forced a dry laugh to cover it up.
