The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 365
Chapter 365
Not all Orbis class members joined the revolutionary forces. But the Orbis class graduate is also the top one.
There is no reason Duke Grantz should join the revolutionary forces.
However, strictly speaking, there is no reason for anyone to join the revolutionary forces, regardless of their origin, the rich and the poor.
What reason do you have to risk your life to do something?
In fact, it is the best option for me to jump on the bandwagon after the revolution has taken place, rather than risking my life to participate in the revolution, even for those who benefit from the revolution.
If Duke Grantz is a member of the revolutionary forces, he must be close to the core.
“Every time they scold me for graduating top of the class, they say that, but honestly, I don’t believe it.”
Even senior graduates.
What a good material ink is for pursuing fantasy. Liana sips whiskey and points to her head, not knowing what I’m thinking.
“No matter how you think about it, I’m not that smart, right? Where do you think this head came from?”
It’s dizzy to see him saying that because his hair is bad, my father’s hair must be bad too, but that’s not what’s important to me right now.
If Duke Grantz is a revolutionary faction, I will join hands with the revolutionary faction anyway, so am I right in thinking that Duke Grantz will become my ally?
Whether Duke Grantz is a revolutionary force or not, in the end I am only interested in delaying the revolution until after the Gates incident.
The anti-Imperial coalition is just a pretext, and I have no intention of actually forming one to rebel against the Empire.
Both the revolutionary forces and the Independence of the Five Great Religions were caught up in the Gate Incident and all disappeared. Beyond the Empire, humanity has suffered great damage, and it has become a situation where it is impossible to dream of anything else.
It is the ending point after the Gate incident that puts all efforts into rebuilding the world.
In the face of the great proposition of the crisis of mankind, all small interests have disappeared.
But what if that great proposition disappears?
The gate situation would rather happen… … . Wouldn’t that be better now?
But in the end, I still haven’t gotten to the essence of the gate debacle.
That’s why I didn’t know that these thoughts and worries were all empty in the end.

The three kids had gone to bed, so we packed our seats early. After putting the sleeping ones into their rooms one by one, Liana and Cliffman went to their respective rooms saying they would go to bed as well.
I couldn’t sleep.
A sudden surprise party planned to comfort me.
To be honest, I was moved by it, but since I came here, I have embraced the wrong concerns.
Nothing is certain.
While looking out the window at the garden where the night had fallen, I saw someone wandering around the garden.
A man with a good impression.
Duke of Granz.
I opened the door to the outbuilding, not knowing what to do.
When the door to the outbuilding opened, he watched me while walking in the garden and burst out laughing.
“Looks like there’s another person besides me who can’t sleep like this.”
His smile was somehow sad.
* * *
“Did you say Reinhardt?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“I’ve heard a lot about it.”
As existence is trouble itself, Duke Grantz seemed to have heard many stories about me.
“If you ask me to talk about the temple, my daughter, who can get angry because it’s annoying, will hear as much as you.”
“Ah yes… … .”
Duke Grantz giggled and patted my shoulder.
Hitting people while talking.
Liana Did this look like your dad?
Liana seemed to have talked quite a bit about me to Duke Grantz at the beginning of the semester, saying that there was a real nerd at the temple. Of course, Liana didn’t seem to be the kind of person who liked to talk to her father that much, so Duke Grantz didn’t listen to my story enough to put nails into his ears.
mostly.
Focused on incidents and accidents.
so.
I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Duke of Granz.
Graduated from Orbis Class.
Possibly a revolutionary force.
He might have a personal grudge against me for being the starting point of the Orbis class closure.
“When I heard that I had a fight with an Orbis class senior, I didn’t know it, but I thought that a big player is a big player.”
Even if that’s not the case, the guy who became the reason for the closure of his alma mater is right next to him.
However, only admiration for his daughter’s daring friend could be felt in the face of Duke Grantz, who burst into laughter.
Did Orbis not care about the class, or was he just hiding his emotions?
“What happened after that may have been a bit embarrassing. Reinhardt.”
Rather, he spoke directly about the situation.
“yes… … . I thought I would be… … .”
In fact, I never expected that the one-shot incident would spread beyond the closure of the Orbis Class to the acceleration of the revolutionary forces.
“What is going to happen is what happened.”
Duke Grantz looked up at the winter night sky and said so.
It was an attitude that seemed to have known about the ills of the Orbis Class for a long time.
Judging from what he said, does he have nothing to do with the revolutionary forces?
But sleepless winter nights.
I don’t know why he couldn’t sleep, but it was definitely not an illusion that I could feel deep remorse and some kind of regret on his face.
As we were talking and walking, I suddenly turned my gaze toward the mansion, and I couldn’t help but feel a little bit discouraged.
Someone was staring at me and Duke Grantz.
An adult woman looking at me with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed as if she didn’t like something.
When our eyes met, she frowned even more and drew the curtains.
Both I and Duke Grantz saw this.
“Oh hmm… … . Because my wife is a bit sensitive.”
Duchess?
Come to think of it, Liana didn’t introduce the duchess either, just like she didn’t introduce the duke.
Duke Grantz said that somehow as if he was sorry.
What do you not like?
Or that Duke Grantz doesn’t go to bed late?
However, from the expression of the duchess, who seemed full of nerves, it was more like something I didn’t like.
disgust and contempt.
I guess I felt something like that.
“Hmmmm, I’m not going to go in. It’s cold, so taking a long walk at night won’t be good for you either.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
Duke Grantz seemed to be trying to save his words.

The next day.
In the dining room of the annex building, we had a simple breakfast prepared by the servants.
Of course, even if it was a simple meal, since this was the Duke of Grantz, it was also a breakfast that could handle Ellen’s huge amount of food.
The menu was simple, but the quantity was not simple.
Not all of them had drunk too much, and none of them looked particularly hungover.
But Harriet was not at the breakfast table.
“What about Harriet?”
“Looks like you’re sleeping?”
At my question, Liana shrugged. You didn’t seem to drink that much yesterday, but are you tired?
But Harriet was not sleeping.
After breakfast, I was drinking tea when I opened the front door of the annex and saw Harriet coming in.
“uh? Everyone is up.”
“What, were you not sleeping?”
At my question, Harriet shook her head.
“no? Did I wake up early?”
“Then, where did you go without having breakfast?”
Harriet scratched her cheek as if she was slightly embarrassed by my question.
“that… … . He asked me to have breakfast with him… … . The Duchess… … .”
At those words, Liana sighed deeply while resting her forehead on her forehead.
“after… … . Why not?”
What else are you talking about? Liana said while looking at Harriet with her eyebrows narrowed as if she was annoyed.
“Harriet, don’t care what my mother said to you, it’s all bullshit.”
The atmosphere was completely different from when he was talking about Duke Grantz.
Although my father was annoyed, he showed no sign of genuine dislike.
But Riana, who was talking about her mother, was speaking with a feeling of genuine disgust and contempt.
“uh? ah… … . But he also said a lot of good things… … .”
Harriet, of course, couldn’t answer that she knew, but she just said that with a troubled expression.
“No way.”
Liana said it right as if it couldn’t be, and only Harriet was in trouble.
Harriet sat down at the table and drank tea.
Duke of Granz.
Duchess of Grantz.
The expression toward me or Duke Grantz I saw last night.
That look of contempt.
Called Harriet for breakfast.
It turns out that only Harriet was called.
Daughter of the Archduke of Saint-Ouane.
Harriet de Saintoine.
The conclusion is drawn that the Duchess of Grantz is a person who is very sensitive to her status.
Looking at Harriet’s expression, which is very troubled by Liana’s words, but can’t deny it, it’s easy to come to a conclusion.
It was clear that he had heard something he disagreed with.
* * *
After breakfast, we went back to the dormitory together.
On the way back, Duke Grantz saw us off.
“Go home well and be careful not to catch a cold because it’s winter.”
Liana looked like she was about to lose her temper again, asking what was going on, but she didn’t say anything to Duke Grantz while frowning, as if she remembered what she had been told by us yesterday.
child-style.
One attribute of Riana de Granz has been added.
Duke Grantz looked at each of us and said hello.
“Cliffman, you too will be able to learn magical power enhancement soon.”
“Thank you, Duke.”
“Adelia, I’ve heard a lot about your skills. Be diligent.”
“yes?! oh yes yes thank you… … is.”
“Ellen always eats well, so it’s nice to see her. There will come a day when the food you ate will come back to you as flesh.”
“Your uncle.”
Ellen vomited her spirit as she responded to Duke Grantz’s wicked joke by calling him an uncle.
Except for Liana, everyone looked at Ellen, who called Duke Grantz Mr.
“haha! It’s always good to hear that man’s voice!”
no.
Did you call it that on purpose? … .
I think I know why Ellen called Duke Grantz a good person.
“I’ve been thinking about Reinhardt and running around.”
“That should be it… … .”
Subtle words were exchanged whether it was a blessing or not, and Duke Grantz looked at Harriet and said,
“that… … . Sorry about breakfast this morning.”
“Oh no, it’s okay. it’s okay.”
Somehow, Duke Grantz feels apologetic, and Heriot is even more devastated.
What kind of words were exchanged during breakfast at the hometown today?
After saying goodbye to Duke Grantz, we moved on to return to the temple.
“Hey wait.”
“huh?”
Having the party walk in front of me, I pulled Harriet back slightly. Lest our conversation be overheard by those who walk ahead.
Of course, it doesn’t matter too much if you listen to it.
“What did the Duchess say?”
“ah… … . that?”
Harriet seemed to think for a moment, then shook her head.
“You don’t have to know.”
Harriet only said so.
“No, why?”
“You won’t be happy to hear it.”
It seemed clear to me that there was nothing good about what I had heard.
“No, because it’s okay.”
“It’s not good to know!”
Most of all, it wasn’t that we were talking about secrets, but Harriet was keeping her voice down very low, noticing Liana. Harriet shows off that she doesn’t want to talk, then looks me in the eyes.
“ah… … . It’s nice that you’re back to normal, but I didn’t want you to bother me like this… … .”
Harriet sighs deeply and notices Liana walking ahead.
“Come back to the magic research circuit.”
As if it wasn’t something to talk about in Riana’s presence, Harriet said briefly.
