I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 353

EP.353

After receiving the handover from the former Marshal, the Marquis of Germania, and taking office as Marshal, I realized that the rumor that I had forcibly demanded a bribe had disappeared.

Until recently, whenever I passed by at the Chief of Staff Headquarters, the young people couldn’t bear to say it openly, so they kept whispering nonsense behind my head that I had committed fraud, which gave me a headache.

‘I left everything to Louise, but what kind of plan did you use?’

While I was filled with curiosity, Louise knocked on the door and quietly entered my study.

“You had a hard time taking over the work of the Imperial Marshal.”

“Handing over the work wasn’t that difficult. At most, I learned only what departments in the Chief of Staff handle these tasks and the extent of the Marshal’s authority and responsibility.”

Like I said, this is all I learned from the former Marshal of Germania.

The problem is that the workload has increased as the imperial army has increased to about 500,000 or 630,000 these days, and the amount of laws that must be memorized regarding authority and responsibility is no joke.

However, as a husband, he did not want to appear weak to Louise, so he told a lie that was not a lie.

Louise sat down across from me and smiled mischievously.

I’m sure you want me to ask you how I was able to dispel the rumor that I received a bribe and praise me for doing a good job.

A woman who is called the Ice Princess because others say she looks like ice when she handles various tasks or thoroughly blocks political attacks, but she looks so charming and cute in front of me… It’s really nice to see her.

“I don’t know what plan Louise used, but everywhere she went, including at the Chief of Staff, all rumors about the Yeager family’s bribery have disappeared. Thanks to this, I no longer have to fight with Count Kreutz, who made political provocations for no reason, as soon as he took office as Marshal. thank you.”

I wanted to pat her head, but she told me not to touch her hair because it takes a long time to straighten.

I gently caressed his cheek and chin with my hands as if I was petting a cat.

At first, she was shy and looked like she was going to pull away, but soon she seemed to have made up her mind and placed her face in my touch. After about a minute, I moved to her place and gave her a little hug.

Her face must have been flushed with embarrassment, so she pulled away slightly, took a fan from her waist, touched it to her face, and said,

“My fifth brother, Count Kreutz, has a nasty habit of teasing his middle leg carelessly. Thanks to that, there were a lot of scandals involving women in social circles. “I remember when I was young, I accidentally got a maid pregnant, paid her hush money, and sent her back to my hometown.”

In this world where birth control magic exists, the probability of accidentally becoming pregnant is extremely low.

Therefore, the number of women that the former 5th Prince touched in that way when Louise was young may be 20, 30… or more.

“You are a typical bastard prince.”

“Being that kind of person, I thought he wouldn’t have been able to get rid of that habit even after marrying Countess Kreutz. Sure enough, only three weeks after marrying the Countess, he had already touched another maid. Since he was that kind of person, I was convinced that he had done something crazy that crossed the line when it came to women, so I investigated through the Information Guild.”

“So you found information that could hinder Count Kreutz?”

Louise puffed out her chest, pushed it forward, smiled, and then spoke.

“After investigating through the information guild, we found that our bastard prince has been living a free-spirited life, and recently even enjoyed a secret affair with a wife from the Dalton family.”

Because arranged marriages are common in the empire, there is a tacit permission for both men and women to cheat as long as they do not get caught by other families.

Men taking in concubines or having affairs outside the house are overlooked, and women are also questioned to some extent. Among the affairs that are against the teachings of the Deus Church, if you have an affair with a woman from another noble family, in the worst case scenario… it

could lead to a bloody duel that will involve the entire family, so even if you are a member of the royal family, if you cause this problem, your head will run away. It can be a serious crime.

Therefore, the story of the former 5th prince’s affair sent shivers down my spine, but Louise instead smiled coldly.

“So I just leaked a little rumor about that fact. This was inspired by something my driver told me a while back. ‘When you have to bring up a sword and force the opponent into submission, it is best to get the desired result just by pulling out the sword and threatening.’ So, in order to subdue my brother, who became Count Kreutz, I used the best strategy.”

When I heard those words, I always thought that way, but from now on, I decided to be careful not to make Louise look bad, even if others don’t.

Even though there are four women in our family, Charlotte, Laura, and Louise, the reason there are no fights is because Louise is good at controlling the atmosphere.

If I go against her feelings, I don’t know what kind of cold treatment I will receive from my four wives.

Louise spoke with a bright smile, as if she knew how I felt.

“Okay then, this concludes our work-related talk. The busy Marshal has been on vacation for three months, and my sister, Charlotte Laura, is away for personal reasons, so it’s a perfect opportunity for us to be alone together. “Shouldn’t we cherish the remaining time we have?”

As I said, I have been spending some time with those three in Philolence and Veneta City, so it would be right to focus on Louise and spend time together now.

“Then, do you have a place in mind?”

“Yes, I have organized a bunch of places I want to go with my driver when he returns.”

Louise took out a small book, opened it, and showed it to me.

Imperial Central Theater Newly opened cafe, store selling clothes, etc…

When I go to the clothes store, I can see Louise wearing pretty clothes, so it’s a treat for the eyes and I like it.

But when I go to the theater, there are strange performances and at cafes, I only have to eat sweet cakes or something like that, so I don’t like it.

However, I can’t not go if she wants to after being away from me for a long time… so it’s a bit difficult.

“I like going to shows and cafes, but you’re not Marshal Jaeger, right? So, I worked hard to find a place where we could both enjoy it together.”

“Even if the dessert is like that, what about the performance…?”

“His Majesty ordered the imperial troupe to create a performance with the theme of Lichen Hill. Since this battle was commanded by the Marshal himself, wouldn’t it be very interesting to see a play interpreted differently from someone else’s perspective? And for dessert, there is a cafe called ‘Morning Leaf’ next to the theater, and they say they have released a new cake that uses coffee-infused cream to combine sweet and bitter flavors, and it is said to be popular with both men and women.”

The Battle of Richen Hill can be said to be the most intense and impressive battle of my life, and hearing that it was made into a performance makes me, even someone who doesn’t like plays, want to go see it.

Besides, it wouldn’t be too sweet with coffee cream, so it would be good enough to eat.

Then, Louise goes to choose a dress to wear. Just thinking about it is something I look forward to.

If I were to go, I’d suggest buying a thinner dress to wear at night…

“Please be sure to tell me what you thought about the performance while eating cake. In that performance, I’m sure you, my knight, will only show off your wonderful side. The interpretation may be different from the perspective of the Marshal who actually commanded the war. His Majesty ordered it to be made, so there’s no way it couldn’t be beautified to some extent. “It will probably look a little different from reality.”

Are you going to direct it roughly like this? During the security guard, Randel started crying and said he wanted to go back to his hometown where his fiancé was waiting for him.

If I show up and say something cool, he suddenly changes his attitude 180 degrees and fights to the death at the forefront, leading his fellow soldiers.

His Majesty, who was the crown prince at the time, was crying and saying he couldn’t leave me behind, but are you trying to create a scene where the actor playing my role forces me to leave, then turns around and suddenly goes off to the battlefield?

Just thinking about it makes me laugh because I don’t know how the story will change.

“It would be fun, right? Originally, I thought it would be better for you, the actual protagonist of the play, to go see it. “You will be able to enjoy comparing what the actors are doing with reality.”

“Okay then, let’s go see the play tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, I gently lowered my hand to her butt with a sign that I wanted to spend with Louise tonight, but she lightly slapped my hand away.

Then he gently pushed my chest with his index finger and said in a playful voice.

“If I fight with my energetic knight from now on, neither of us will be able to get up tomorrow morning. Please love me more tomorrow, not now. Sleep well and I love you.”

It felt refreshing that she, who normally always accepted when I sent her an autograph, rejected me.

Maybe that’s why I felt a little hotter today.
