Second Reincarnation: The Inept Prince Greatest Comeback

Fight

The atmosphere of the dining hall grew intensely tense. Anyone can tell that a fight will break off between the two.

“Apologize to her right now!”

Gerald snapped, he was infuriated by his filthy behavior.

“Even if you are a royal prince such behavior is not tolerable. You can be charged for s****l harassment…”

“Brother, you know that a royal prince is immune to any criminal charges am I right?”

Roland replied without hesitation, Gerald thinks that he’s doing it on purpose to irritate him. Royalty is such a pain in the ass. No equality among others, royals are seen as God.

“That’s why my political agenda is to repeal such things. We are all equal and dwellers in this world.”

“Brother, you really think that your idealistic view is going to work?”

“It is, so apologizes to Andrea now or else…”

“Or else what?”

Roland challenged, looks like Gerald has no other choice but to retaliate. He removed his gloves and threw them right in front of his face.

“Let’s duel!” He declared. Throwing a glove in front of someone is a sign of duel, “If I win, you apologized to her and promised that you will never do it to someone else. If I lose, then I will do whatever you want.”

Roland contemplated for a second.

“Okay, If I win, can you hand over Catarina over me?”

Gerald’s pupils grew bigger, it was the word that he hated the most. It feels like the time is returning back to its original state. He thought that his brother changed but it looks like it is still the same.

“Not worthy of consideration, our condition must have an equal degree. Do you really think that I will agree to such a condition? Don’t grow big. I can defeat you in any kind of battle. Music is the only battle that you surpassed me but in terms of intellect. I win.”

“Then, the duel I hereby deny the challenge for a duel. Hence…”

He approached Howe who was standing there and grabbed her by the arm and pulled her close.

Roland opened his mouth to let his abominable tongue. Howe stiffened by his embrace and that lewd tongue is creeping her out.

“...Help…” A weak voice sounded, Roland heard it and knew he has to step in.

“Get away from my sister!” Andrea tried to steal her sister away from Roland, but he moved his arm like a whip with an intention of harm.

Andrea was hit. She fell to the ground. This time, the anger within Gerald burst. He rushed in to stop this unforgivable behavior of Roland committed to his guest.

Roland now saw Gerald rushing towards him with an intent to fight him. He threw Howe to the side, hurting her. Now, this small opening was a mistake committed by Roland.

He threw Howe to the side meaning his point of vision didn’t cover Gerald’s approach. Just right after that moment, he returned his vision towards incoming Gerald but it wasn’t him but a right hook is thrown by Gerald.

“Arrgh!”

He was distressed right after he received that right hook in the face. The maids are concerned about this but didn’t want to step in. They fear that Gerald may hit them if they try to stop him.

“It looks like I need to teach you a lesson. Big Brother. I thought you grew good but I was wrong. You’re still the same guy I despised the most. Guess like ‘humans never change’ is indeed true.”

Roland was dumbfounded, but he was completely infuriated at that punch. He stood up once more and now took a battle stance.

“Hmm, I don’t know what you’re saying but you hit me. Let’s see what you’ve learned in the military academy.”

Gerald feels like he has to beat his brother to a pulp. There is a slight hint that he is underestimating him. But thanks to his modern knowledge, he took a mandatory military training course back in the United States. He knew he still had that knowledge in himself.

“Yeah, Let’s f*****g see!”

While saying that, he threw another right hook but was evaded by Roland. Roland then launched a counterattack right after the opening but Gerald preconditioned everything by using science.

He put this in the calculation so fast that his brain feels like it's going to explode. He analyzed his fighting pattern which is still on-going. He is dodging every throw of Roland.

“I must say, your dodging skills are the best. But it’s not a fight if you don’t inflict any injury to your enemy.”

“Data acquired!” He declared proudly.

“You’re crazy as always.”

Roland threw a left hook but surprisingly, Gerald caught it.

“What the?”

Surprised at the situation, he found out that his left hand is in Gerald’s shackle not wanting it to let go.

“You!!!”

He shouted and tried to escape his left hand from his grasp.

“Argh!”

He whined, what Roland did is he hit him in the left calf using his feet. In short, he kicked his left calf. It looks like it broke but Gerald didn’t stop there. He then used the forward momentum of Roland who was trying to get closer to him, Gerald immediately docked, carried him by the back, and threw him to the ground.

Roland cried at the pain brought by Gerald. To the spectators of the fight, it seems like Gerald is winning the fight one-sidedly. His martial prowess is indeed amazing.

Roland stood once more but it wasn’t that easy as before, he felt excruciating pain from his left calf that was kicked by Gerald.

“You b***h!”

Gerald picked something from his coat and threw it right onto his face. It was coined, it blocked his field of vision. The moment the coin fell helplessly to the ground he found out that Gerald wasn’t there.

Roland immediately looked around, he knew that Gerald was up to something. A surprise attack he thought? No, it was a feint.

Right after he turned around. He saw Gerald who was standing there. Now that he had seen him, he immediately charged towards him.

This charge is merely a rush without thinking. Gerald knew that he was so desperate to knock him down but he would not let that happen after what he did to Andrea and Howe.

He hooked his head using his arms and threw a right knee in the face. Due to the power of the knee, Roland felt dizzy at the moment but Gerald didn’t stop there, he then hit both of his ears like a drum. Rendering his auditory perception, which temporarily deafens him. A flatline sound ringed loudly in his ears.

“It’s time to knock you out,” Gerald said and threw a punch right into his nose making him unconscious and fall helplessly to the ground.

The fight was over. Howe and Andrea saw something amazing. They witnessed how badass Gerald is.

“Anne, contact the royal medical hospital and tell them we need an ambulance, refer him to the orthopedist, and tell them that his left calf is broken. It’s possible to mend the broken bones via surgery but it might take months for him to stand again on his feet.”

With the peremptory tone, Anne complied with his orders.

“This behavior is unforgivable, if the father were to find out about this then it would be a problem. Good thing that he is in the middle east for a summit. Argh, the doom where my family dies will be set in place right after they visited the Middle East region.”

He muttered to himself and let out a deriding smile. It’s time to get to work. The timeline has been broken resulting in an unpredictable flow of time. The doom may happen anytime so he must get ready to fight them head-on.

“I’m sorry to show you unpleasant things. On behalf of the royal family, I am deeply sorry for the rude things committed to you by the royal prince.”

He bowed with an apologetic expression. It was so humble.

“I should be the one to say sorry since we’re the ones who caused this…”

“What are you saying? My brother is the one who did rude things to you. No need to apologize…are you hurt?”

Gerald noticed the bruise on Andrea’s left cheek. It was so red that touch may hurt her even more.

“You, get me some ice!”

Gerald turned towards the maids who were still there, the maid immediately complied to carry out his orders.

“Please have a seat,” Gerald said to the both of them, the two nodded and began to approach the chair. Doing so, they turned their heads to the lifeless Roland who was knocked out to the ground.

“Your Highness, the ambulance is here!” Anne said with the paramedic in behind her.

“Good, take him out, I can handle Andrea and Howe since it was not that bad. Did you already tell them what to do?”

“Yes, every word of it,” Anne assured.

The paramedic put Roland on the stretcher and left the dining hall.

“Your Highness, you know that we have a personal doctor here, why call an ambulance?”

Anne asked curiously.

“We don’t have an orthopedist here. Only orthopedists can treat broken bones.”

“But why go that far?”

“I needed to teach him a lesson.”

“Uhm, Gerald, I think we can return now to our house. Don’t worry, we will not tell a single thing to our father about this.”

“I see, then I will let my royal guards take you back to your residence, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”

This dinner turned into a huge mess. Gerald clicked his tongue realizing that the lesson will be suspended due to this. His brother is making a lot of mess.

Gerald deeply sighed at this circumstance.

“Looks like lessons will be suspended huh?” Gerald said.

“Unfortunately yes.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t mind it, we can come back tomorrow.”

“Is that so? Then I’m glad. I need those lessons so that I can win against my brother.”

“Don’t worry Your Highness, everything will go completely fine.”

Fortunately, his father is in the Middle East, problems can be covered by bribing the royal guards and the maid. However, his reputation is so big that he can’t let it fall by bribing.

The following day has passed, Roland is still at the hospital to be treated by doctors. The doctor said that Roland will be able to stand again on his feet in three or four weeks. Luckily the damage wasn’t that bad. He needed to undergo certain physical therapy to fasten his injury to heal.

Meanwhile the same day, in the Royal Palace, Gerald along with his two advisors are now in the study room. Andrea and Howe are taking turns in the blackboard teaching him things about military strategy and political science.

Gerald was keen on listening, maybe because he felt guilty after the harassment of Roland towards these innocent fine ladies. Andrea even used glasses just to appear smart, but she is smart but it makes her more look sexy.

“There are so many factors that can influence a battlefield huh?”

“What are you saying? This should be easy for you since we’re using your plan as a reference.” Andrea said.

“But, it wasn’t that deep. I was a kid back then, I didn’t know that my fantasy plan would work.” He said jokingly.

“Fantasy? No way. It’s so detailed that it was too far in fantasy. The generals believed that you're a smart military tactician after they followed your battle plan.”

There is no denying it since he saw it in the past. The reason why the rebels won and took a huge hit to the Empire and decreased its power economically because of the generals being uncooperative with each other. They can crush the rebels since the Empire is far more superior in technology and militarily but if one is uncooperative just to prove their ego, no matter how advanced your technology, the enemy will surely win.

“Well, I can’t deny that but after diving more in military science, it’s getting harder and harder.”

“Your Highness, you’re smart. I believe this subject is easy for you. Just like how you dominated the field of science and engineering. But being smart doesn’t make you a good king but a proper judgment and a little spice of charisma.”

“Thank you.”
