Chapter 10 The Empress’s Eyes (6)
Aten and I sat side by side in the library.
I received a lot of attention when I came here, but perhaps because it was a library, interest quickly disappeared.
Aten has been following me since yesterday, so people who know him will know.
“Are you really teaching me how to study?”
“okay.”
Aten looked at me suspiciously.
No, there wasn’t much change in his expression, so I’m just thinking that way.
Maybe it’s just an illusion.
“I doubt it.”
It wasn’t an illusion.
Do you have the type of personality that allows you to express your true feelings when you tell them everything?
I skimmed through it and opened the notebook.
And I opened the lesson contents that had been copied so far in the workshop.
Aten may not be able to see it, but I am literally copying the contents into my notebook.
“…What are you doing now?”
“To be honest, it would be impossible to teach you the rules from now on and make you avoid failing.”
It is not a question of the difficulty level of the midterm exam.
It’s a question of scope.
Aten knows almost nothing about school classes because she is busy learning etiquette and skills while living in the imperial family.
This is certain information that I know while playing the game.
‘Anyway, all of Constell’s writing is descriptive.’
The game doesn’t make players take tests, but that’s what I heard.
In that case, you can’t just write down what you saved in the workshop.
It’s not a matter of memory.
Even if you accuse me of cheating, I have nothing to say.
Therefore, I have to rewrite the lesson content copied through the workshop in my own way.
What I’m writing now is a summary of that as well.
I write a whole page and hand it to Aten.
“Now, memorize it.”
“…What is this?”
“A month’s worth of classes after entering Constel.”
Not everything is included.
I boldly removed what needed to be removed.
I can’t write it all down, and there’s no guarantee that Aten will remember it all, and I have no intention of getting Aten a perfect score in the first place.
All you have to do is avoid failing.
Aten took the paper and looked at it blankly.
“…is this really the content of the curriculum? “You didn’t write it however you wanted?”
“It would be even more amazing if something like that came out using whatever I wanted.”
“But right now, you’re just writing in your notebook without a textbook.”
“Well, that’s right.”
I’m copying and writing down what’s in the studio.
“Are you sure you remember everything? “The entire scope of the midterm exam?”
“Well, that’s kind of it.”
The workshop is mine.
I was writing the next chapter while answering.
Aten looked at it for a moment and then focused on the paper I gave him.
I think they realized that I was sincere.
From then on, quiet time continued.
Me and Aten intently reading the paper I gave them, transcribing the contents of the workshop.
Aten seemed to be doing it right, as he occasionally underlined parts he thought were important.
yet.
“It’s all written.”
I handed the last piece of paper to Aten.
With this, I briefly transcribed the scope of the midterm exam.
At the same time, I also had a harvest because I rewrote the contents of the workshop to fit my writing style.
Aten took the paper I gave him and looked at it blankly.
If you’ve made it this far, at least you know that I didn’t write in vain.
Aten opened his mouth in a daze.
“I heard you’re lazy….”
“I was born as a new human being.”
Well, there’s nothing wrong with that.
* * *
At night, Aten was studying in the mansion.
Because she was chasing Frontier, she could only study for a short time during the night.
I thought I wouldn’t be able to cover the test scope with this schedule, but now I think I can.
“…It was real.”
Aten compared the contents of the textbook with the paper given by Frondier.
…It is accurate without a single mistake.
Even the spelling of words that are difficult to memorize is thorough.
“Is this memory possible for humans?”
Of course, it does not contain all of the subject matter, but all important information is written down.
That was nothing more than proof that he understood the entire subject matter.
Beep-beep-beep-beep-
At that time, Aten’s Sage phone rang.
It was a loud and urgent sound, as if a disaster had been reported.
Aten picked up the phone and answered it.
“Yes, Mom.”
-Aten~ You worked hard today too. Are you doing well?
Fili’s gentle voice was heard.
“Yeah, just like that.”
-Have you become closer to your classmates?
“Uhm, not really.”
-oh! Your mom told you to be close to your friends. At your age, studying is good, but friends are the most important.
“Just a little bit with Frontier.”
-Well done my daughter! …Isn’t that right?
Mom’s true feelings just come out.
Why can’t I hide my true feelings like this?
I should never do that.
-Then did you ask that?
“Dragon Heart?”
-Yep.
“No, not yet.”
-okay. good job. When a boy is completely infatuated with you and flirting with you, then ask him out.
…Heron Helong.
Aten thought for a moment.
If I wait for something like that, I’ll never be able to ask.
Fili said as if he suddenly remembered something.
-I heard there’s a midterm exam for Constel coming up soon.
“…huh.”
Of course, Aten knew that it wasn’t something that ‘suddenly came to mind’.
-There is a midterm exam. Are you saying that outsiders can also watch the actual performance? So, I’m going to watch my daughter in action.
“You’re coming here?”
-Yes, with your sisters.
Aten’s expression hardened.
The sisters are coming.
It was because of those girls that I readily accepted Constel’s transfer.
Haa Aten sighed and said.
“OK got it. But don’t come when it’s time to take notes. “Even if I came, I couldn’t see it.”
-Okay. This mom is busy too? It’s also a good idea to take the time to go to the practical exam.
“okay.”
And after a few more conversations, Aten hung up the phone and sighed.
The sisters are coming.
In some ways, people are more troubled than their mothers.
I glance at the paper I was reading a moment ago.
A piece of paper that Frontier wrote for her.
“…let’s work hard.”
After saying those words, Aten picked up the paper.
* * *
Midterm written exam.
I left the room after writing down all the answers.
I was worried that what I had stored in the workshop might not be enough, but that wasn’t the case at all.
Is this the power of a cheat sheet?
For the first time in a while, I feel like I’m playing foul in this world.
I was the fastest among the students in the classroom to leave.
No one saw anything strange.
You probably think that I wrote it down roughly or submitted it on a blank sheet of paper.
It doesn’t matter what you think.
Today is the day to test ‘Weezergram’.
I haven’t been able to use it since the midterm exam is just around the corner, but I’ve finished writing it.
As I was rushing towards the mansion, a car
screeched
to a halt in front of me.
“…?”
It is a very luxurious sedan.
A vehicle that gives you an idea of your wealth just by owning it.
The window at the back of the vehicle opens.
“Hello-“
There was a woman who greeted me lazily.
White hair and red eyes.
I know that face that looks harmless and resembles a rabbit.
Fili Terst.
She came to see me.
“Get in. “I have a place to go.”
“….”
I opened the car door without saying a word.
I can’t refuse it anyway.
It’s the Empress’s suggestion, so what should I do?
And Fili is just a difficult character to face, not a villain.
There is no reason for me to be scared right now.
…but it’s infinitely closer to gray.
The car started as I sat in the back seat.
It seemed like the destination had been decided in advance.
“Why didn’t you answer my text?”
“I thought the Empress was joking.”
I hoped it was a joke.
If the Empress suddenly says, ‘See you soon, we’ll see you soon,’ of course she will.
Fili tilted his head.
“You know why I contacted you.”
“I can’t even guess.”
“Ahahaha.”
Fili laughed out loud.
And then he slowly opened his red eyes hidden in laughter.
“lie.”
“….”
“You know, right?”
I was deliberately silent.
Fili hates people who are unnecessarily kind to him and people who seem easygoing.
I am so intimidated by my position as the empress that I cannot have a proper conversation with her.
“How do you know about Dragon Heart?”
Fili asked.
Red eyes that are different from Aten.
Those eyes and facial expressions that ask questions as if they are genuinely curious. And the way you speak.
I looked straight at it and laughed.
─Lazily.
“well.”
“Where have you seen it before?”
“What do you think?”
“How did you know that eating it would make you sick?”
“It’s a secret.”
My answer was the same as not answering.
Hmm, Fili grinned.
“Don’t you wonder what will happen if you die here?”
Before she knew it, her left hand was holding a dagger.
I gently place it on my neck.
I saw the dagger.
It is naturally incorporated into the weaving workshop.
[Terst Imperial Ceremonial Dagger]
– A dagger needed to carry out various ceremonies of the imperial family.
– Because it is for ceremonial purposes, it has no lethal power.
This is it.
Well, even if you stab someone in the neck with an unedged weapon, you will die.
If you look at it this way, Philly’s and mine’s smiles are very similar.
“I wonder. “I wonder what will happen to the Empress.”
“….”
Fili’s expression hardened a little at my words.
“In order to get information about the Dragon Heart, he created a strange event like a department store quiz, went around here and there without the imperial family knowing, and made his daughter meet a man who had never seen her before.”
I closed the distance to Philly.
I didn’t care about the dagger stabbing my neck.
Because Philly retreated that much.
“I am very curious about what will happen to the Empress if that man dies in a car like this, and all the hard work that she did not want to show even to the Imperial Family goes to waste.”
“…frontier de roach.”
“yes. That’s my name. “You are correct.”
“What do you want?”
Of course, Fili Terst.
Quick to judge.
I said.
“I want to see Dragon Heart in person.”
“…hmm. “Is it okay if I just look at it?”
Fili asked that.
You made such a mistake.
My smile deepened.
“As expected, the Empress thinks that is not enough.”
You can hear Philly laughing.
Well, since you said that.
Let’s get the bonus.
“Please let me choose a weapon from the imperial armory.”
Actually, my choice of a weapon in this proposal doesn’t make much sense.
The important thing is to ‘see’ the arsenal.
It seemed like there was a shortage of weapons in the workshop.
But if you say that all you have to do is just look, it may raise suspicion.
“…ha. all right. It’s different from what I thought. Frontier de Roach.”
Fili sighed and grunted as if it wasn’t funny.
I have never felt more fortunate than now that I am a Frontier.
Because Philly was able to make a mistake thanks to the carelessness caused by the bad reputation.
“But it’s good. I was planning on taking you with me from the beginning.”
“Where?”
Fili answered my question as if it was no big deal.
“This car is on its way to the imperial palace.”
