The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 313

Chapter 313

Wearing a dress and makeup to prepare for Miss Temple cannot be done all day.

After taking off her dress and removing her makeup, Ellen took a shower.

Liana didn’t just look at the dress code and make-up, she even practiced facial expressions. I think you need to prepare thoroughly.

It didn’t seem like he had done anything in particular, but Ellen was very tired right now, perhaps because it was unfamiliar and unfamiliar to her. both physically and mentally.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like it.

I thought it was a way to discover a completely different side of myself that I hadn’t even known before. So even while looking in the mirror, I wondered if this was me dozens of times today alone.

After drying her hair, Ellen lay quietly on the bed.

Tomorrow is the start of the Miss Temple contest.

-gurgling

Ellen narrowed her brows as she heard the sound in her stomach.

As usual, it was time to have a late-night snack with Reinhardt. Ellen thinks of Liana’s careful attention.

‘You don’t pick anything up tonight.’

‘… … why?’

‘I know you don’t gain weight, but what if I eat something at night and my face swells the next day?’

‘… … I don’t know.’

‘Anyway, if you’re not going to eat it, don’t eat it. I don’t know if it’s another day, but I have to put up with it today.’

‘… … huh.’

It’s not that I’m not telling you to starve, it’s that I’m not saying that you shouldn’t eat late-night snacks, but you can keep that much. One day is definitely tolerable.

But the routine is scary.

-Kureuk

“… … .”

I don’t eat at the time I always eat, so my body sends a signal, but I shouldn’t eat.

Even when someone says not to do it, the desire becomes stronger.

There are quite a few times when I went to bed without eating a late-night snack, but thinking that I shouldn’t eat as much as today makes me even more hungry.

Normally, Ellen has strong self-control. However, even if he eats, he doesn’t gain weight because of his physical fitness and exercise, and there are always plenty of food in the royal class dormitory. He even stuck with Reinhardt, who would do anything he said, and stayed with him for quite some time.

Ellen realizes that she has rarely put up with what she eats lately.

Still, tomorrow we have to show a better side of ourselves. Could it be that I just can’t stand the hunger?

Even though I try to fall asleep, I can’t sleep well.

I wonder if it’s because of the moonlight pouring through the window. Ellen got up from bed rustling to close the curtains.

and.

Caught by the curtain, Ellen could see the street outside the dormitory.

in the dark under the moonlight.

I see two familiar people.

Reinhardt and Heriot de Saintoine.

The two were walking hand in hand.

“… … .”

Ellen quietly watches the scene in her room.

Harriet walked beside Reinhardt with her head bowed, and Reinhardt walked beside him holding hands lightly.

Seeing the scene, Ellen watched the scene as if it were frozen.

hold hands

How special is that really?

I’ve tried holding hands and hugging them.

he has done everything Even though he was friends with Reinhardt, he always did.

That’s why you should understand that it belongs to the category of actions that friends can do.

You have to understand that you can do that.

but.

Ellen couldn’t take her eyes off their clasped hands.

already.

have you been robbed?

no.

already from a long time ago.

There was a part that only I could reach. Everything here is an illusion.

‘long time no see!’

actually already.

A long time ago.

Did that happen?

why are those two

how.

It’s a hand you can hold.

It’s a hand that I’ve been holding on to.

Did I think that being able to come into contact with Reinhardt was my privilege? That’s why, while watching her just holding hands with Harriet.

Why is my heart like this

Is it dangerous as if it will be broken?

‘I have me… … . really really… … . Sometimes.’

‘I think you’re really mean… … .’

What Harriet had once said lingered in Ellen’s head.

Ellen naturally realizes that Harriet has always felt this way.

where you don’t know. Watching from afar as they create stories and memories they don’t know.

Creating a relationship that you can’t get into.

This situation where you just have to watch it and can’t do anything.

It felt like this.

I feel like I’ve been betrayed, I don’t know what to do, I feel resentful, sad, and unfair.

Did Harriet express this feeling with one word, petty?

I don’t think it’s a feeling that can only be expressed in words.

Ellen sees the two returning to the dormitory.

It may already be too late.

Harriet is doing what she has to do. There is no need or reason to hate. To hate that kind of figure, Ellen should have hated Harriet long ago.

Ellen tries to convince herself that Harriet is working hard on her own, and there is no need to hate it.

So you just have to do what you have to do.

You just need to show a good image tomorrow. Reinhardt, who saw himself tomorrow, might be a little different from before.

After talking about this and that, it might be a little different from before.

That’s it.

Today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow.

Ellen tried to erase the image of the two of them from her mind, closing her eyes tightly.

That night.

I swung my sword in the gymnasium.

There is no Cliffman or Ellen. So it’s been quite a while since I beat the scarecrow. I could have asked Saviolin Tana to teach me, but it was late, and when the gentleman quietly taught me, I was so motivated that I didn’t think I would fall asleep on time.

So I swung my training sword at the scarecrow.

-Puff!

“… … pestilence.”

The training sword is broken.

Have you swung your sword to the point of trance? I’m not that crazy about swords.

what is it

I forgot the time.

It was already well past the standard bedtime. Even if he had been taught by Saviolin Tana, it would have been over already.

My whole body was drenched in sweat.

I gathered the remains of the broken training sword and tossed it in the trash before opening the window of the gymnasium.

A chilly wind blew past my cheeks and sweaty clothes.

me now

It seems disturbing.

What should I do?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out.

It’s been a while since bedtime, and I thought I’d break it again if I tried swinging the training sword in this state, so I washed up and tried to sleep.

I was thinking of making something, but I didn’t even want to cook something alone without Ellen.

“uh.”

And as I was passing through the hallway, I bumped into someone. The guy who bumped into me looked at me and tilted his head.

The one who bumped into me was Bertus, not anyone else.

Aren’t you busy managing the magic train right now? What’s going on in the dormitory at this time?

“Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour?”

Rather, Bertus did what I said.

“Sometimes at the gymnasium.”

“… … Training until late at the festival. That’s great.”

Bertus laughed.

“What are you doing?”

“ah… … . I had some work, so I’m going to rest now.”

The festival isn’t over yet, but is the work related to the operation of the ecliptic magic train finished?

Dark circles under Bertus’ eyes were dark, probably because he had been up all night or had too much work. Aren’t you supposed to praise me while training at the festival? Aren’t you rather tough than usual?

“Oh, I heard you won the tournament. Congratulations.”

“uh… … . okay.”

Bertus patted me on the shoulder and walked towards his room. It seemed that he had worked hard for several days to the extent that the tiredness on his iron mask-like face showed.

And he was about to go in, but suddenly looked back at me as if he had remembered something.

“ah… … . wait for a sec.”

“uh… … . why?”

Cold sweat breaks out all over the body.

All the others got through without incident.

he’s not yet

This is the first time he sees me now after seeing me dressed as a woman.

Bertus narrows his brows and stares at me.

isn’t it?

don’t you know? To be honest, even though we met face-to-face, that’s enough to just pass by for a moment?

“Hmm… … .”

Bertus stared at me with a frown and shook his head.

“No, you look a little tired.”

Bertus let out a chill running down his spine and then went into the room.

* * *

Entering the dormitory room, Bertus dragged his body, as heavy as wet cotton, washed up and lay down on the bed.

Operation management of the magic train during the festival.

I didn’t think of it as something insignificant. The magic train is the most important means of transportation in the ecliptic, and there are usually many users, but even during this period, users from all continents flock to it.

blast furnace.

There are people who have never seen or heard of a magic train in their entire lives.

Not only children cry about a monster running, but also adults run away in a panic.

this is a nobleman

Even in a remote corner of the continent, there is a thing called status.

Having a big heart and coming to the imperial capital to see the temple festival means you have enough money to pay for the warp gate.

That’s why usually those of high rank come to the ecliptic in their own region.

Not to mention the number of people threatening to ask why there is no nobility-only carriage on the magic train. There are a lot of people who ask how they can use the same means of transportation as commoners.

It’s not even funny how the ants rank themselves, but Bertus had to do it well.

As I tried to solve all incidents and accidents as smoothly as possible, I was under a lot of stress.

So I couldn’t even rest properly, and I was on the way back to the dormitory because I thought I would have to sleep for today.

Bertus is on the verge of bursting his head right now.

However, when I saw Reinhardt, something suddenly came to my mind.

I don’t have time to think because I’m busy with work, but the girl I ran into last time.

The moment I saw Reinhardt, I immediately thought of that silver-haired girl.

I can’t forget.

He committed a ridiculous act of pouring black tea on the face of a woman he had never seen before, but Bertus will never forget that person’s face for the rest of his life.

‘Looks like. clearly.’

I wondered if I was mistaken because I was tired, but when I thought about it, it was definitely similar.

Of course, you have to stand next to it to know it properly.

It is certain that the silver-haired girl and Reinhardt resemble a lot.

However, Bertus’ thinking unfolds in a rather strange way.

first.

Bertus is busy and doesn’t know how the festival is going. At best, he only knew that Reinhardt had won the first year tournament.

So, I don’t know who the silver-haired girl is, and I don’t even know that she participated in the Temple Women’s Dressing Contest.

Therefore, to Bertus, a silver-haired girl is just a silver-haired girl.

two completely different.

but it resembles

It even resembles the mouth a little bit.

Silver hair was a bit strange, so I asked and he said it was dyed.

And Reinhardt is from the street.

‘Does Reinhardt have a younger brother or sister?’

There are cases where they are abandoned at birth, so there is a good chance that Reinhardt doesn’t even know that he has blood relatives.

It’s a question you can ask Reinhardt.

Do you have any younger sisters or older sisters?

Of course, the answer would be yes or no, but Reinhardt would wonder why he was asking such a thing.

‘No, it could be something else.’

Isn’t it just that people can resemble each other?

Reinhardt is sure to be pretty disappointed if you just say that you met someone who was supposed to be your brother or sister.

‘Shall we find out… … .’

There was no need to tell Reinhardt.

If it’s right, it might be possible to find a lost blood relative to Reinhardt.

If not, the level of returning the handkerchief that was not returned then.

Thinking that it was just such a light thing, Bertus slowly fell into a daze.
