I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 265
The side story ‘Father-in-Laws’. Give me your daughters! (1)
[Extra quest: Marie Dunareff]
Difficulty: S
[Performing the precepts.]
After the war, the chaotic atmosphere inside the academy did not go away.
Following the Guardian Association of the Kingdom’s Holy Expedition, it has been less than two months since the end of the all-out war in which all the top honors students of level 2 or higher were mobilized at the academy.
As there were many students who were exempted from the semester altogether due to the war, students who were assigned high-ranking guardians within the academy were not often seen.
Meanwhile, there was a group of high-ranking guardians that could not go unnoticed.
Corin Locke.
Marie Dunareff.
Arisha Aden.
Hwaran.
Estel Hadassa el Ras.
Miriam Elisabeth L Ras.
Erin Danua.
Heroes of the Solar War.
Each and every one is special. They are the protagonists of that great war.
The sights of that day were seen by people from all over the continent.
The moment when the world turned upside down, the light disappeared and the sun came down.
I just can’t believe that it’s the same academy and classmates I knew well.
What is certain, however, is that the center of the group is Corinne Locke, and the women in the group are all only looking at one person.
“……hmm.”
Isabelle stroked Corinne’s jawline as she watched him go out alone recently.
The atmosphere surrounding him has been unusual recently.
From one day, Korinhi began to walk alone, and even Marie and other female students avoided him.
No, it is true that the female students are avoiding each other.
-Why are Jaedeul like that?
-I don’t know. Did you fight?
-Okay, when will you die?
In this way, their changed atmosphere attracted a lot of attention even internally.
-Is this a love issue?
-We had a fight about love issues.
– Well, it was time for something to come to a conclusion.
Those who were quick-witted realized that the female-oriented group centered around Corinne was stranded due to dating issues.
In such a cold atmosphere, the men at the academy harbor one ambition.
-Maybe me too?
-If I attack now, wouldn’t there be a chance?
-If Koga picks one person and catches him, the rest are all free, right?
-It was an ambiguous relationship at the time, but now…
Aren’t they all beautiful women? It is no wonder that men who were compared to Corin and did not dare to step forward became ambitious.
– Mama Marie! If it’s okay, would you like to have dinner tonight?
-Shall we train together in Arisha’s weight training room?
-Hwaran said you like fish? There is a house I know well…
Marie, who has a down-to-earth atmosphere, shares potatoes, and gets along well with everyone.
Alisha is so dumb that she looks like she has a lot of gaps.
Hwaran and others who have no sense of distance regardless of gender.
The Betas, who were looking for an opportunity to become the alpha themselves because they couldn’t see the alpha ruling the lion pride, were drooling but──
-Sorry! I never thought of XX like that! Let’s stay friends!
-Uh… I don’t like it?
-……why me?
Yes.
Just because the alpha is not visible does not mean that all betas can become alphas.
“Well, of course that will happen.”
Isabelle chuckled as she listened to the boys’ feelings sinking in various places.
“I heard you confessed to 20 people today? How about a popular girl~”
“Ugh… don’t do that! It’s burdensome.”
Isabelle played a mischievous prank on the popular girl who was constantly breaking records.
“So~ What’s going on with Corin?”
“…….”
After seeing Marie’s reaction, Isabelle was convinced that her prediction was correct.
Yes, seeing a guy who usually walked around with women like that suddenly went out alone, it was clear that he had a problem with women.
He even seemed to avoid not only the group he usually attended, but also women themselves.
Isabelle saw this situation quite differently because she knew that many of the women with whom Corinne was surprisingly friendly had dark intentions towards Corinne.
‘It’s time to decide someone!’
It wasn’t that Corinne herself didn’t notice the kindness of the women around her.
He seemed to understand that the women in the so-called Guardians, including Marie, liked him.
‘The big war is over and we are praised as heroes, so now is the time to think about love and marriage issues.’
Not that fast.
There are quite a few noble men and women at Merkava Academy.
It is common for them to enter into arranged marriages from a young age. Even students who were commoners become knights and wizards with guaranteed success.
There are many cases where noble families or wealthy people who do not have a guardian within the family invade their sons or daughters.
Well, since you have to participate in Guardians activities, there are many cases where the same Guardians see eye to eye.
In any case, Corinne Locke is a legendary leader who has surpassed blue chip stocks in the marriage market and has been hitting record highs every day since listing.
He achieved the legend of going from level 5 to level 1 knight overnight, and became the leader of the Guardians Association, the ‘Sun’ in the prophecy of the Unified Holy Church. War hero…….
A blue-chip stock that soars endlessly without a high point.
Isn’t he the best son-in-law who has already bid for Duke Dunareff’s royal swordsmanship, Aden El Ras?
‘It’s not that Marie is outclassed, but her competitors are also formidable.’
Isabelle clicked her tongue as she looked at the numerous war heroes and rivals of her friend who held absolute social status.
“So… who do you think Corin has feelings for? Anyway, isn’t Marie the most likely one?”
“……”
Isabelle felt like it was a mistake when she saw Marie who didn’t react in any way.
To be honest, I thought Marie was the one who made the most progress toward a relationship with Corinne.
“Dogs are really funny too. How much you did for Marie!”
This girl whom Corin sacrificed himself to save gave him infinite favor and support.
Right now, the magnificent office of the Corin Guardians and dozens of wyverns, including Hresvelg, whose annual salary is not even enough to pay for a bunch of feathers!
“Don’t do that… Corinne has something in mind too.”
“What are you thinking? I must have received an offer to be the sire of the royal family! I don’t need Jo Kang Ji-cheo anymore, right?”
“Jo Jo Gangjicheo?”
“This is why I told you from the beginning. Don’t give too much away. When a woman gives something to a man, he calmly accepts it, but later says, ‘You did that because you liked it, right?’ and throws it away like a devoted partner!”
“It’s not like that! Corrin is not that kind of person!”
“Ugh…! I heard that every time I see you, Marie, I get frustrated and throw a tantrum.”
Isabelle felt sorry for her best friend who was so pushy when it came to dating.
‘Do you think Marie lacks beauty and has a bad personality?’
They even have a lot of money, a lot of power, and a lot of land. Corin Locke had to kneel down when Marie asked him out.
But now Corrin’s position was very different from before.
He was a world hero, the strongest man at the peak of an era, and there were countless women around him.
It’s a position where you can choose to eat.
So I felt even more embarrassed. My friend’s stake in achieving that success is not small.
“What kind of bitch are you? The fox bitch who snatched that swallow away from our Marie?”
“…Use your energy.”
“huh?”
Isabelle listened to Marie who was muttering.
“I decided to get married…”
“Huh?!”
Isabelle could not believe her ears.
marriage? Without even dating?
no no.
So, is there even a need to date?
To be honest, Marie and Corinne aren’t officially dating, but haven’t they done everything they need to do?
We go on dates every now and then, have close skinship, and have children… We also have biological children who inherited our DNA.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that their relationship lasted for nearly three years. At this rate, we’ve been dating for a long time.
“So fast? But why…”
Why have you been avoiding Corin so much lately? Did the women in the same group act as if they were keeping each other in check?
“Hey Isabelle! I have a problem!”
“okay…?”
worry? If it were the Marie I knew, she would have been using the national budget to prepare for the wedding by now.
“say it.”
“Umm…”
Unlike Isabelle, who responded to her concerns, Marie did not readily respond even when she actually spoke.
She opened her mouth with difficulty.
“What should I do to become that crony?”
“???????”
Isabelle, unable to understand what he said for a while, gaped and remained silent for a long time.
After the explanation continued and the agreed upon issues── only after hearing the stories of the remaining ‘six people’, Isabelle opened her mouth…
“I…”
“Me?”
4 years of friendship. Isabelle was the first to raise her hand and hit her best friend.
“Come to your senses, Lee!!”
“Huh!?”
* * * *
Marriage is not something you do alone.
Marriage is a union of two families and is also a family matter.
As a member of the green MZ generation in Korea, it is a difficult issue to agree on, but I am not at an age where I cannot admit that this is reality.
“Ma! Li! E! Ma! Li! E!
” Corinne…! Corrin…! Corin…!”
“All of us! Let’s happily welcome the heroes of the War of the Sun!”
“”Waaaaaa…!””
The hospitality… is too much.
I was exempted from the first semester of my 3rd year for ‘personal reasons’.
It is a small compensation given to a student who participated in the war, but the school I didn’t bother to pay it because I wanted to enjoy life, but I used it to come to the south like this.
My goal was to get married. In addition, I revealed my harem…
“There are a lot of people…”
“Since there were more than 100,000 people. I heard you sent it back…”
I didn’t think my wife’s family, Duke Dunareff, would be an easy opponent…
“Lady Marie! here! Look here!”
“Our girl is pretty!”
“Beautiful! It’s cool!”
This… If you do something wrong, won’t you get beaten up by the crowd?
Dunaref’s position in the South is absolute. Plus, Marie is pretty, strong, and has a good personality. She’s the next Duke of Dunaref… Her popularity is no less than that of a top star. .
“Aaaah! Deokgu oppa! Please look here!”
“How do you feel about becoming the model for this month’s fashion magazine!”
“Kkkkkkkk…!”
– This guy’s popularity.
“…….”
What. Why is Deokgu so popular? .
“How do these people know about Deokgu?”
“They didn’t know about Corin? After the war, Deokgu became a fashion model.”
“……Yes?”
“The modeling fee was donated to post-war support funds! We also donated to the National Kennel Association and a homeless dog adoption center! Deok-gu is like Corin and has a very kind heart~”
“…….”
They say a child grows up in an instant.
Our Deok-gu, who was born with our hearts, is now doing better in social life than his father….
” Corinne look over there. Dad and Mom!”
Finally.
I swallowed my saliva and looked at the Duke and Duchess of Dunaref walking from afar.
“Corin Locke.”
“Duke Mard…”
This war, including me and Marie, are on the front lines. There were many heroes who fought, but the one who supported those heroes was none other than Duke Dunarev.
Without his decision to use up all of the year’s food production and stored supplies, he would not have been able to persuade the northerners at the northern gateway and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. It would have been impossible to exchange quantities.
But regardless, the fact that the Duke dislikes me very much remains the same. I have to persuade this person.
“We’ll say hello later.”
Duke Mard calmed his frown and placed his hand on my shoulder. He raised his hand and raised it towards the crowd.
-Waaaa!
People were going crazy. It was indeed Duke Dunarev. This level of showmanship was natural. He performed a loudspeaker magic himself and gave a speech in a deep voice to the entire crowd. “The scars of the great war have not gone away .
“It was the blood and sweat of the patriotic heroes and our southerners that led to victory in the War of the Sun…” The
atmosphere was moderately livened up by commemorating the soldiers and noting that the support of the South was crucial.
People felt deep down that they had played a sufficient role in this war. He was proud and expressed infinite goodwill to the war heroes Marie and I.
“Today, I would like to take this opportunity to name the war heroes and praise them in the name of the South.”
“My proud daughter and princess of Dunareff, Marie Dunareff. ──”
I called Marie first, and then the other soldiers who participated in the event. I
presented them with medals and plaques in the duke’s name and promised them a considerable amount of pension.
Finally, it was my turn.
“Dunaref . The head of the Baron Locke, a family of standard-bearers of the dukedom. President of the Guardian Association. “A special knight of the continent’s public figures.”
First of all, he shows off his secret friendship by revealing that he is from the standard-bearing family of the dukedom. But I was not dissatisfied. In the
first place, my baronetcy was created when Marie gave it to me and even gave it to me.
His Majesty the King also gave me the title. He said he would give it to him, but it was even more special because it was given to him by Marie.
“The Golden Potato Medal is awarded to Corin Locke, the Knight of the Sun who subdued the enemy gangsters and brought light back to the world through his heroic actions in this war.” The Golden Potato Flower Medal
. . Although it is called a potato flower, it is an extremely beautiful flower.
Potatoes have been a grateful food that has supported the hungry common people since ancient times and a crop that laid the foundation of the South. That is
why the potato flower is selected as the most beautiful flower in the South in Dunareff.
“Also . Baron Corin Locke inherits the territory and earldom of the Kadriol region under the Duke of Dunaref.” “……
!”
I was surprised by the large gift from the Duke of Mard.
The County of Kadriol is owned by the Duke of Mard. It is one of the most valuable lands among the 25 provinces.
It has three mines, including diamond, stone, and gold mines, as well as an industrial city that makes jewelry processing…
In other words, the Duke of Mard gave me three mines. It’s like giving a dog and an entire city.
“It’s too much, isn’t it?”
“My arm hurts. Take it.”
I accepted Duke Mard’s medal and plaque with trembling hands.
I am rich…!
-Waaaaaa!
-Congratulations! -Long
live Corin Locke!
-Long live the Knight of the Sun!
The medal awarding ceremony ended with everyone’s welcome and applause.
…………
………
……
“Whoa~ Corin, try this. It’s a boiled potato made from the biggest potato of the year!”
“What did you sow on the ground to make it so big?”
We briefly held the award ceremony and welcome ceremony while scooping up potatoes the size of a human body. Marie, who was offering me a potato in the banquet hall, tapped me. Then she pointed to one side with her finger.
“It’s Corin’s dad.”
“Kuh-hmm…”
I swallowed my saliva out of nervousness. It had finally come. I looked at her, hoping for support, but Marie pouted.
“ Try your best.”
“Help…”
Quick! Marie turns her head away. It looks like she still doesn’t like the harem plan. I’m
sorry Marie. Because she’s this kind of boyfriend…
“Whew…”
Putting my guilty feelings toward Marie aside, I turned to Duke Mard, who was standing with a solemn expression.
“Duke——”
“No.”
“I haven’t even said anything yet—— ”
“Not my daughter.”
I was speechless at his firm attitude.
“Duke. I saved the world.”
“What?”
What can I do? Isn’t it the national rule to give a princess to a hero who saved the world?
Those words were swallowed in my throat.
“Hey, but…”
“No. You gave me a medal.”
“No──”
“You gave me territory.”
“Hey…”
“You also gave me three mines.”
“Duke?”
“That’s not enough, you even took my daughter. You want to?”
“…….”
The duke pouted and showed a bad attitude. This person… is being unreasonable!
“Duke. I already promised to marry Marie!”
“What are you doing?!”
We can’t stop here. Duke Mard is expected to face the biggest challenge. This person must be tackled head-on.
“Father-in-law! Give me your daughter!”
“Who is your father-in-law!”
“Father!” ”
I told you not to call me father!”
I couldn’t back down. I was clinging to him and begging him to give me Marie.
“Let go! Won’t you let go, you bastard?! Huh?”
“Oh, duke! Are you talking nonsense to a war hero? “You pretended to be friendly earlier!”
“I just took a picture for the press, you bastard! “I can’t give it to my daughter!”
“Give it to me!”
“I can’t give it to her!”
I wonder how long they kept clinging to it like that. Even the Duchess of Elencia accompanied her and confronted her at her home. “
Haa… Okay, I’ll listen to the story.”
“Thank you, father-in-law. Adult!”
“I told you not to call me father-in-law!”
“Mother-in-law!”
“Oh my~”
I spilled out the whole story. The purpose of this visit was not just to marry Marie.
I also spoke honestly about the harem.
“. ……”
“…….”
A long silence passed between me and Duke Mard. He looked at me and Marie in turn, trembling with an expression of disbelief.
“This…..” ..”
A pupil that causes an earthquake. His trembling knees shook the desk. I could feel the anger he couldn’t hide.
“You bastard trash, no bigger than a potato sprout…!”
I couldn’t bear to refute him.
