I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 129
Enlightenment can be gained even from small, insignificant things.
Like Newton, who thought of gravity when he saw an apple falling.
‘I was stuck in a stereotype.’
Ruid was feeling similar emotions.
If you change the most essential thing, the rest will naturally follow.
If we make the Windsor-friendly Damon emperor, many other troublesome problems will disappear.
“Thank you, sister Irene.”
“huh?”
“For letting me know that there is such a gentle way.”
Irene tilted her head and smiled brightly.
Ruid glanced at Damon and asked.
“When will you become emperor?”
“There is a peaceful way, where I become the head of the family and support them.”
‘…It’s going to take a while.’
Victoria corrected herself.
It will be a long time before Irene takes over as head of the family.
“If we use a slightly more extreme method, it might be possible right now.”
“There is nothing more ugly than ascending to the throne by borrowing Windsor’s power.”
“Do you understand?”
“An emperor who relies on such expedient methods will not last long. I’ll take care of it. There is one thing you can promise me. “When I become emperor, please support me.”
“I promise full support. “Because you are a child who knows what paedo is.”
Irene seems to like Damon quite a bit.
‘What on earth did they do…’
I can only imagine.
Irene doesn’t have a very kind personality. It must have been quite a struggle… but Damon seemed to actually like it.
Irene shuffled through the documents in front of her and asked with a somewhat serious expression.
“I heard that one academy student died.”
“that’s right.”
“I tried to save her, but I failed.”
“Actually, it’s in progress.”
Ruid spoke calmly.
“Because there are many things we haven’t experimented with yet.”
“Is the reason you didn’t announce it because it’s annoying?”
“…Because it’s obvious what to say. But, I don’t need it anymore.”
If Damon becomes emperor, it’s a pointless worry.
No, rather, it comes as good news.
Because they are gradually accumulating excuses to turn against the imperial family.
Instead, it might be annoying for a while…
but I didn’t like being bothered for nothing, so moving wasn’t a bad idea if the fruit was sweet enough to bear the hassle.
“We will send the students away. It seems like he doesn’t really want to be here. “More than I thought…”
Ruid yawned longer.
“Not funny. Damon. “You achieved your original goal too, right?”
“It’s purpose. “You mean to raise awareness among the empire’s idiots?”
“no. “Inquiry into the Duke of Windsor.”
Damon chuckled.
“You noticed.”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have abandoned the students and followed me.”
Damon nodded.
“The goal was achieved. Ruid. I have nothing to regret. No, it’s actually too much. “I learned in less than a month what it would take me 10 years to learn here.”
‘What on earth did they do…’
I can only imagine.
Irene doesn’t have a very kind personality. It must have been quite a struggle… but Damon seemed to actually like it.
“By the way, Louis.”
Irene looked at the report and looked puzzled.
“How Sophia Queensberry Died. “It’s a little strange.”
“Strange?”
“According to Charlotte’s report, there are no monsters around there.”
Ruid also thought that was strange.
“There is zero chance that Charles is wrong.”
Irene spoke firmly. Ruid also agreed to that.
“But I said it was an impossible wound for a human to inflict.”
“What if it’s not a monster, but a demon?”
Irene rested her chin on the back of her hand.
“It could be a demon with special abilities.”
“Then I would have felt it.”
‘Besides, there was Victoria.’
Sophia’s death is certainly not mysterious.
But there was a reason I didn’t look into it in detail.
I’m not really curious.
And, even if I found out, nothing would change.
“…Do you care?”
“no. but.”
Irene raised one corner of her mouth deeply.
“I have a feeling that if I research, something interesting will come out. How do you feel? “You can try moving it yourself once.”
**
The words of the first sister should be kept to the extent possible.
Unlike Amelia, Irene is merciless.
It was really possible to be imprisoned.
“bothered.”
Now I’m just spitting out words that seem like a habit. It’s been a long time too. Because I’ve been living quite hard these days.
Still, I feel better after stepping on the crunchy snow.
“Is this place?”
This is an area where it always snows.
So the traces became faint, but they couldn’t fool Ruid’s eyes.
I found the spot where Sophia was crushed. Around there.
“…animal footprints.”
It was also the footprint of a fairly large animal.
At least it’s not a trace of Mine.
I briefly suspected the ‘memory demon’ the therapist had mentioned, but from this moment on, I was no longer in the line of thought.
“Hmm…”
Ruid blinked. Before coming here, I remembered what Ella had told me when she said the analysis was completed.
-No matter how you look at Luid’s magic, there is nothing wrong with it.
-It’s called the Lifelong World Theory. Just because you change the present and the past doesn’t mean there will be change right away.
-Actually, it’s a different world. Sophia, who died an hour ago…
-Can you just tell me the conclusion? Head hurts.
-Sorry, sorry! So, to sum it up….
“The magic was successful. However, just an hour before the incident, Sophia’s soul had already been destroyed.”
That was Ella’s conclusion –
Ruid completely believed in Ella.
“…Sofia was definitely alive. “Because we had conversations no different from other people.”
However, there is no way a body without a soul can move.
It means one thing.
“Someone possessed Sophia’s soulless body and pretended to be Sophia.”
The only person in the whole world who would do such a shitty thing is a warlock.
And among the warlocks that Ruid knows, the only one who can do something like this is…
“The sin of lust, Lilith.”
The Seven Deadly Sins are the main villains of the original novel.
Even among themselves, their ranks are quite divided. The difference in skill between low-level sins and high-level sins is enormous.
Lust is at a high level. If Lilith was possessed, it would be very difficult to kill her.
A suspect immediately came to mind.
Luid’s eyes sank low.
“Right. “Were you the culprit?”
It was only his familiar and great spirit, ‘Gumiho’. Because I have reacted sensitively to the soul a few times before.
Then everything fits.
This large footprint is Miho’s body.
There was a reason why Charlotte couldn’t sense the presence of monsters.
“Why did you hide that fact from me?”
Ruid narrowed his eyes.
You can call them directly and ask, but I don’t trust you. Even if it wasn’t this time.
“liar.”
It is common knowledge that the nine-tailed fox lies.
But it’s true that it’s scandalous, so let’s punish it.
Ruid yawned and reduced the amount of magical power directed at Miho to 1/10.
I won’t release you until you die.
“Louis.”
I should have figured it out a long time ago. While I was thinking meaningless thoughts, I heard a voice not far away.
Irene was approaching with her hands in her black coat.
The snow was slightly fluttering, and there was something magical about Irene’s pure white skin.
“Did you figure it out?”
“My familiar was the culprit.”
Irene stroked Ruid’s head.
“You turned out to be a pet fox that I liked more than I thought. “I didn’t like it because he left the owner alone and started playing with other women.”
Irene smiled and spoke.
‘…Now that I think about it, I haven’t paid much attention to Hercy these days.’
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve talked to Hersi in the North.
I felt like I would feel a little sad.
“Do you think you know why they killed him?”
Ruid looked towards the tomb of the first emperor.
“That’s right, because I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.”
In fact, it was easy to understand why Miho killed Sophia.
Killing him near here means that the warlock saw the ‘Tomb of the First Emperor’.
I don’t know why I didn’t say something worthy of such praise.
“It’s the tomb of the first emperor, so it must be difficult to look at it.”
“huh. Moreover, the person inside Sophia is a warlock…”
While speaking normally, Ruid felt a strong sense of déjà vu and his pupils gradually began to shake.
“…did you know?”
“I’m sad, Louis.”
Irene raised the corners of her mouth and brought herself to Ruid’s eye level.
Her walls were shining a little scary. It was 90% warmth and 10% madness.
“My sister didn’t hide anything from Louis.”
“how…?”
“Did you forget? This area is my responsibility. “There’s no way you don’t know what’s happening on the first line of defense.”
“ah.”
Irene smiled strangely.
“Of course, I don’t know what’s in there. So what did you see?”
‘It was a guided interrogation…!’
Ruid bit his lip.
For some reason, I felt resentful.
“Louis.”
Irene stood up and lightly hugged Ruid.
He stroked my head and whispered.
“He hides it from his sister, and when he does such extraordinary things, she has no choice but to put a necklace around Louis’ thin neck.”
Ruid flinched.
Irene held Ruid’s shoulder and asked again.
“Aren’t you going to tell me?”
“….”
Ruid slightly averted his gaze and spoke in a low voice.
“…Delin is our ancestor.”
“huh.”
“The first emperor was a bad person.”
“huh.”
“Delin wants revenge.”
“plural?”
“I want you to erase the empire.”
“…!”
Irene seemed surprised for a moment, but her smile gradually deepened.
Ruid sighed at the very expected reaction.
“I decided to choose.”
Irene blinked.
He spoke softly, making a sighing and deflated sound.
“I’m not taking away Louis’ share. “Don’t worry.”
“…Really? “You can’t suddenly declare war.”
Irene spoke quickly, as if she couldn’t stand it anymore.
“So, what is our youngest’s choice?”
“My choice…”
One of the troubling issues, ‘Sophia’s death’, was resolved by Damon choosing to become emperor.
In fact, the answer was decided from the moment I heard that Damon had decided to become emperor.
There’s only one thing left.
A decision about what happened at the tomb of the first emperor.
Strike the empire or find another way?
In fact, the answer was decided from the moment I heard that Damon had decided to become emperor.
Just like I learned from Irene, it gets to the point in just one shot.
“I will save Delrin.”
“The first emperor will also be saved.”
“and.”
Ruid spoke with an innocent face.
“I will kill the first emperor.”
Irene couldn’t bear it anymore and knocked Ruid down on the pure white snow.
He climbed on top of his younger brother and brought his face closer while holding his wrist.
Ruid was embarrassed. Irene’s blonde hair tickled my cheek.
Irene whispered in my ear with a clear voice.
“I would have respected whatever choice you made, but… you know this, Louis.”
“Who, sister?”
Irene raised her head. Ruid was distracted by Irene’s sudden behavior.
Above all, a red blush appeared on Irene’s white face.
“It’s a choice I really like.”
A word from the author (author review) First of all, I’m really sorry for not posting for a long time without saying anything.
There was an odd situation ㅠㅠ.
Originally, I would just say sorry because it felt like an excuse, but I think it would be more rude, so I’ll tell you in detail how I couldn’t post it.
It was 5 days ago. While traveling in Japan, I rented a bicycle and was riding around. (Sometimes I write this while walking around.)
The humidity was high and the weather was so hot that I was going to take a break in front of a vending machine, but I didn’t really want to eat anything.
Fortunately, there was a convenience store right next door, so I went there.
After debating for the first time in my life whether I should have a melon soda or a drink with a strange plum on it, I
ended up buying a canned cola and going out.
But isn’t there someone riding my bike?
We froze for a moment as we faced each other, but the moment I said ‘Ah’, I ran away on my bike without even looking back.
I tried to run as much as I could, but it was too much. I couldn’t help but stare at the back of the guy’s head as he was moving away.
The problem is, I put my backpack in the bike basket, and inside it was an old MacBook and a cell phone.
Normally, I always put my cell phone in my pocket when riding, but I felt like it would fall out that day, so I regretted putting it in my backpack… (I wish I could at least get my cell phone ㅠㅠ)
Anyway, I managed to go to the nearby police station and registered in my poor Japanese, but I couldn’t. I heard it.
I thought I was going to die trying to convey my thoughts without a translator. In fact, I still don’t know if the message was communicated properly or what the police officer said.
I think he roughly said, ‘I’ll probably be able to find it’… I lost my phone, so I just told them the name of the accommodation. (Of course, I couldn’t find it.) I could
n’t imagine that something like this would happen in Japan, which is definitely not another strange country. I did.
As soon as I left the police station, I was so dumbfounded that I laughed like a crazy person. Actually, it’s still funny to this day…
I tried to post a notice by borrowing a cell phone from a group member.
Maybe it’s because I always used automatic login, but I couldn’t remember my ID. This is what happened in the end.
Still, I’ve come up with a lot of ideas, so I’ll start serializing it as usual starting today.
Sorry to those who waited, and thank you!
