I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 348

EP.348

The war was over, but there was still cleaning up to be done, so I couldn’t just return to the empire.

Well, the only thing I have to do now is nothing compared to my usual duties as a captain who has to watch while staying in the imperial capital.

At most, what should be done is to order the military police to arrest those who have been a little too attached to the Milanese Union, hold a summary court-martial, strike the hammer of justice, and sentence them to death or exile after confiscation of all their property.

Otherwise, it was just spending time with His Royal Highness the Duke and Duchess every day to let everyone know about the close relationship between the Empire and the Duchy of Philolence.

However, even if the intensity of the work is low, spending time with the Duke and Duchess, as if it were a trial…

“Your Highness the Duke, please open your mouth. ah.”

“Chloe I am not a child. So, you don’t have to feed it like this. Plus, there’s Captain Jaeger in front of us.”

“This is also strictly public service. Captain Jaeger said that we need to show that we love each other so much that we can’t live apart. So, do it. Or are you saying you don’t like the snacks I feed you?”

“I understand, but how long will I be calling you to tell me? In private, please feel free to call me “you.” “Now you are no longer just a guard knight and a duke.”

They say it’s because of the political moves I made, but they originally couldn’t live without each other, but when they became officially recognized as a couple… affection between people so young is no joke.

According to what I roughly heard, he greets me with a light kiss when he wakes up in the morning and says I love him every day.

It may be okay in a public place, but in a private place like a meal with me, they openly feed me snacks and food like that.

As someone who has lived a total of 41 years of life, 20 years in the Empire for 20 years, it is such a burdensome sight to see that I feel like I will burst from being full even if I don’t eat.

“I understand you. Now, open your mouth and say, “Ah!” Or would you like me to feed you by mouth?”

After saying that, Chloe pretended to bring the cookie in her hand to her mouth, and the Duke took the cookie and chewed it.

“Captain Jaeger is our couple’s benefactor and is like family, but this only happens when we are alone.”

“Yes you.”

“This cookie is so delicious. “Did Lady Charlotte bake it for you this time too?”

Chloe smiled at those words and said.

“Over the past few days, I have been learning how to bake cookies from my wife. “Your Highness, no, I hope you like it.”

The 11-year-old boy’s face turned as red as blush, and as I watched from the side, my skin started to swell all over my body, letting me know that the current situation was not easy.

I feel like I’m more embarrassed to be watching than those two people.

To be honest, it is true that I asked to direct it because I connected the two and such actions were strategically necessary.

Watching the love between a young boy and a girl so close that their noses are touching is so strange that I almost want to close my eyes.

Still, the reason I can survive is because I have four beautiful and lovely wives when I go home, and when we argue, I am at a high level that cannot be compared to them.

If I had had to see a scene like this right in front of me when I first entered the academy, I might have fainted because I was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.

The duke, who had been burying his face in the girl’s breasts in front of me even before we were officially recognized as dating, doesn’t seem to have gotten used to it even though it’s already been a week since this became a full-fledged relationship.

“Chloe baked it herself. thank you.”

I looked around to escape for a moment from the sight of this couple falling into their own world right in front of me.

The newly arrived maids and maids, the butler who had served the duke’s family for generations, were whispering to each other.

“I’ve known for several years that Duchess Chloe and His Highness the Duke have a close relationship… but was it really to this extent?”

“Even though Your Majesty is still young, if you are that old, you will never take a concubine in your life. In this case, shouldn’t you quit being a maid and find a wife? “I was looking at the concubine’s seat and my dad told me to come in, so I came in. What is this?”

“It’s not for nothing that bards these days make up songs about those two people and spread them around.”

When you become the owner of a principality, maids and servants who will wait on you without even adding a single exaggeration will follow you everywhere, at all times, except for the bedroom you share with the woman.

Of course, because they have received thorough training, they do not reveal matters that must be kept confidential even if they are tortured, so they are beings who can live comfortably in private spaces… The

employees who serve them are also very hungry for rumors, so they are kept confidential. For matters that do not need to be maintained, he secretly receives bribes from surrounding nobles and sells information.

For this reason, even in the Reich Empire, any noble who received a title, even if he was not a servant of His Majesty belonging to a palace such as Grand Marshal, would know this fact.

The emperor is very energetic. He likes women a lot. He likes foods such as eels and oysters, and has a habit of collecting famous swords.

I took advantage of this and paid huge sums of money to the maids and servants who were moderately generous so that they could spread the truth about how good of a relationship they had.

It is said that the effect was effective enough for a bard to compose a song and sing it after a week, which is proof that it was fully effective.

“By the way, Duchess.”

At my words, Chloe wiped the duke’s face with an expression that had everything in the world and then turned to me.

“Are there any more foolish ways of ignoring your wife like before? If so, please feel free to let me know at any time during my stay.”

I pretended to slit his throat with my hand.

“You don’t have to worry, Captain. “After the maids who had been ignoring me a few days ago were severely punished, no one has stopped ignoring me.”

You have to be at least the daughter of a family who received a knighthood to work as a maid in the duke’s family. Because of this, she is proud of her status and position, and her desire for success is also quite strong.

That alone might not be a bad thing, but in terms of her background, Chloe is an orphan who had a lot of trouble, similar to mine.

She, who was of insignificant status compared to them, suddenly became a duchess and someone who had to bow down to serve them. There were some low-ranking people who lost their senses and tried to use dirty tricks to screw her.

On behalf of the still inexperienced Duke, I personally uprooted their families and brought them into disrepair.

Originally, it was a problem that only the parties involved needed to be punished, but in order to show off the power of the young duke, I ordered him to deal with it severely, and it ended up like that.

“Then I’m so glad. Your Majesty the Duke, are you doing well in your studies as a Duke? “If you focus too much on playing with your wife, you won’t be a good duke.”

“I feel like I want to play with Chloe all day, but if I can’t do my job perfectly like I used to do. Didn’t they teach us that we can’t protect the principality or Chloe? “The study taught by the personal professor sent by the empire is difficult, but I am steadily following along.”

“You need to study harder from now on. If you study hard, the duke will definitely make the principality a rich and powerful country in the future and become a better master than me.”

“… It might be a bit difficult, but I’ll try.”

The reason I can say this is because he protected the duke from the clutches of the regent who tried to kill him and Chloe.

This is a remark that can be overlooked because he respects me from the bottom of his heart. If someone in a similar position to me said something like this, it could be a case of lese majeste.

Now that I have established such a close relationship with the empire, my work is almost done. Now all I have to do is find a successor to succeed me.

So, after an hour of small talk with the two about their current situation, I stood up.

As I turned my back to leave, I heard the duke’s slightly troubled voice coming from behind.

“I heard that I clean Chloe’s jam.”

“No. Now, stay still. “I’m going to clean it with my mouth.”

“… The other maids are all watching.”

“I have no choice but to spread the word that our relationship is good, right?”

When I turned around because I was concerned about what I heard, Chloe wiped the jam off the corner of the Duke’s mouth with her tongue and immediately kissed him.

The ‘side’ sound was heard all the way to where it was located.

The Duke’s face was as red as a ripe apple, but he looked happier than anyone else in the world.

Even though I did it, isn’t it a very rewarding and nice sight to see?

After that, I stayed for about two more months until administrative support personnel from the empire arrived to help the duke rule. When they arrived, I sent a letter saying I would return to the empire and set off on my way back with the expedition.
