An Obsession Spanning Millennia

So, the question was...

Did Limjo understand?

He did.

In fact, he had understood from the very beginning.

Shien might have been an adventurer, but was he an ordinary adventurer?

No.

He had single-handedly defeated the Slayer Faction.

He had single-handedly wiped out nearly half of the Kingdom Knights.

He had tamed Artur's Black Dragon.

He had earned the favor of the Dragon Demon Lord, drawn the attention of the Moon Demon Lord, and gained the royal family's esteem. He had become a prominent figure in the kingdom, leaping from a mere adventurer to a noble sought after by countless aristocrats.

Someone like him was destined to be extraordinary. His origins could never conceal his brilliance or his excellence.

In that case, it seemed only natural that he would catch the Princess's eye.

And what about himself?

The eldest son of a ducal house?

Could that status compare to that peerless Princess, born into the legitimate royal bloodline and even hailed as the Hero of the modern age?

In terms of talent?

He had only reached level seventy in his twenties. How could he compare to the Princess, who had already reached level seventy at seventeen?

In terms of strength?

Perhaps his level was somewhat higher than the Princess's, but levels only represented superior base abilities. There was also the difference in growth potential. The growth he gained from several levels might not even match what the Princess gained from a single level. In that case, his base abilities might not even surpass hers, right?

On top of that, she possessed the Holy Sword and that terrifying Unique Skill mentioned in the rumors. She also gained more Skill Points than he did when leveling up, meaning not only were her learned skills more varied, but their levels were also higher
