155 – Drink (2)
Status is a system that existed even before civilization was established.
Before humans united, even when they lived in tribal units, there was a leader of the group and he was called a chief.
After the construction of civilization, numerous social classes emerged and various classes of power emerged accordingly.
Only a very small number of people have high status, and most people live as commoners.
Even if the caste system collapses, another caste is bound to be created, and history proves this.
However, it cannot be denied that the status system clearly shows ‘discrimination’. Even if the form changes, status is status.
If a commoner throws all kinds of insults at a noble, that commoner’s life is as good as nothing.
This means that the caste system is like this, but only on the assumption that there is no backing.
In that sense, Sivar’s proposal to the princess of the Hwan Empire could be said to be extremely close to ‘rude’.
“…Are you offering me a drink now?”
The princess of the Hwan Empire asked back with a puzzled expression. It was clear that he was embarrassed.
As Luna watched that, her thinking circuit stopped momentarily. She knows very well what the caste system is like.
You can live without fault like Grace, but if you cross the line, you can be socially ostracized.
In the worst case, there may be harm to the body. In the worst case scenario.
‘This is a big deal! Sivar probably doesn’t know much about the caste system…!’
Not only for Luna, but also for commoners, it is an extremely ‘common sense’ social concept.
But not Shiva. You probably don’t even know general common sense, let alone social concepts.
Even if several months have passed since entering civilization, what you feel in person is different.
Even the four highest authorities, Grace, Kara, Lord, and Rize, aren’t close to Sivar.

Shivar may think that he can become friends even with people of high status.
No. I guess that’s why I immediately suggested drinking. Even though it was our first meeting.
“I’m sorry! Sivar! What if I offer a drink to a stranger?!”
“No?”
“Of course not! This is your first meeting before you become a high-ranking person! Apologize quickly!”
“No. I’m fine. I’d rather have a drink.”
At that time, a woman’s voice came into Luna’s ears. It seems a bit low, but it’s a pretty voice.
Since it was heard right nearby, there is no need to think about the owner of the voice. Luna turned her head and looked at him.
“I was in a state of trouble at the time. There’s nothing better than alcohol to soothe a troubled mood.”
The woman who offered Sivar a drink answered with a smile. She has a smile that is close to a bitter smile.
Afterwards, she picked up the glass and held it out to Shivar. This is a signal to pour a drink.
“What are you doing? You’re not following along. You’re not going to give it to me after you tell me, right?”
“No, that’s not it! Sivar. Hurry up and give it to me.”
“Yes.”
Upon hearing this, Sivar began pouring alcohol into the woman’s glass.
She was a wine that was as black as a woman’s clothes. The color was so dark that even the glass was barely visible.
“Hmm. Normally something like this has to be done with both hands. It looks like you don’t know this yet.”
“With both hands?”
“Yes. It’s a law that you must politely follow with both hands when it comes to people of high status or adults.”
The woman gave Sivar a warning rather than a warning and drank a glass of her wine.
Contrary to its rather delicate appearance, the wine in the wine glass quickly disappeared. Very cool.
“Phew. It tastes good. Thank you. Thanks to you, I think my disturbed mind has calmed down a little.”
“Thank you…?”
“hehehe. You don’t have to be too stiff. It’s not that bad and I don’t really care.”
“Aren’t you a princess? That’s what I heard.”
If you listen to her outfit, atmosphere, and old-fashioned way of speaking until the end, she is definitely a princess.
In fact, there was a rumor that a princess from the Hwan Empire was visiting, so I couldn’t help but think that way.
“Princess… First of all, I guess I have to say yes. Do you know the expression “Treating someone cold?”
“Uh…No?”
“Try to look for me later. Then you will have a general idea of what my situation is.”
I don’t know what cold treatment is, but I think I know it has a bad meaning.
When Luna was feeling a little shaken, she opened her mouth and said, as if she had realized something too late.
“Now that I think about it, I am late in my introduction. I would like to greet you. My name is Dan Ye-rin, the fifth successor to the Hwan Empire.”
“Lu, my name is Luna Estel.”
“Luna Estelle. I heard she was the top student in admissions. That’s what she is…”
The woman who introduced herself as Dan Ye-rin paused for a moment. Shivar was drinking while greeting her.
She didn’t know how much she had drunk, but her slightly red face was now noticeably red.
Luna became dizzy when she saw that, but luckily she was noticed by Sivar.
“······What is your name?”
“Me? Call me Sivar.”
“You should say, “Please call me,” Not “Call me.”
“No. It’s okay. I know roughly who this person is. You should understand.”
Fortunately, Dan Ye-rin appears to have had a broad mind. Luna let out a sigh of relief within her.
She feels like her life has been on the line for a short period of time. After all, she had been drinking, so her nerves were on edge.
“If you know who Shivar is, you also know that he came from the forest.”
“Of course. Rumors about this person are quite common.”
“Has the rumor spread to the Hwan Empire?”
“It’s bound to spread. I heard he’s the main culprit in various incidents and accidents here.”
“··· ···”
This is a very understandable reason. Luna felt dazed.
As the Academy gathers talented people from all over the world, interest is bound to be focused, and Shivar’s eccentricities will also be revealed.
Moreover, since it serves as a kind of defense mechanism to prevent war, even high-ranking figures are likely to be paying attention to it.
“But this is strange. Did I just speak the common language? How did you understand me?”
Dan Ye-rin asked Sivar with a curious expression. About how she understood what she said just now.
Luna was also curious about this, so she turned her attention to Sivar. And Sibar’s response was very concise.
“Huh? What?”
“I asked how you understood what I said.”
“Ah. You mean it’s like sh*t?”
“··· ···”
Truly explicit words came out of Shivar’s mouth. Even Dan Ye-rin, who had a calm expression, was embarrassed.
What would Luna think of watching that? She was worried that Dan Ye-rin might get angry.
“······It seems like I understood clearly. Just looking at the black hair, I think he’s from the East, but not by his appearance… Could it be that he’s mixed race?”
“Well, not even Sivar knows that, and neither does anyone else. Except for the fact that I stayed in the forest.”
“Hmm. That’s strange. I’ve obviously just entered civilization, but I understand the language of the Hwan Empire. So, do you understand this? I’m Dan Ye-rin.”
The latter language was neither the official language nor the language of the Hwan Empire. Moreover, it is not the language of the Matra Empire.
For Luna, this is the first language she has ever heard. No, sometimes Antonio said something similar.
“I’m Dan Ye-rin? I introduced you earlier.”
“Ho. You even know the Granada imperial language. That’s really amazing.”
“How do you understand?”
Now that I think about it, I believe something similar happened last time. That was when Kara muttered in the Tatar language.
Shivar understood that. Even the pronunciation of Ragnarok was incorrect.
At the time, I assumed Kara would have taught me. But when she actually experienced it, something was strange.
‘Besides, when we first met, you seemed to understand it roughly, right?’
Does that mean that you heard it even when you first met her?
You can listen, but you cannot speak. I had a strong feeling that a screw was missing.
“I don’t know? I just figured it out? Is it important?”
Actually, he has an expression that says it doesn’t matter. Except that her face was red because she drank a lot.
Dan Ye-rin also smiled weakly, perhaps because she found Sibar’s side interesting. The sight of her smiling while covering her mouth with the back of her hand was very beautiful.
“That’s true. It’s not important right now. Moreover, just because we understand each other doesn’t mean we can have a conversation.”
Dan Ye-rin says something meaningful. It is an expression that tells us at once what kind of being a civilized person is.
“I’m sure I’ll have a good drink. I think I feel a little happier thanks to you guys. See you later.”
“Ah, yes. Take a look.”
“See you later.”
“hehehe.”
Was it cute that Sibar even waved her hand? Dan Yerin walked with her elegant smile on her face.
Luna watched her back getting further and further away and sighed as she lost her senses. It feels like a storm has passed by.
‘Thank goodness. ‘Nothing happened.’
I think I will have to tell Sivar about her caste system soon. However, I am not sure if it will work out because there are many high-ranking people around me.
Just as Luna was thinking to herself, Sivar took her steps, holding a bottle of liquor in one hand.
Jira Luna, who had almost caused a major accident just moments ago, asked hastily.
“Where are you going?”
“Toilet.”
“Ah.”
Well, I drank that much, so it’s worth it to be in a hurry. Luna nodded her head.
“Okay. Instead, don’t do anything strange and come back. Understood?”
“Yes.”
I’m sure something could happen while I was going to the bathroom. Luna thought so.
‘······No. Aren’t you going to fall down while you’re at it?’
Even when she is sane, she is anxious and anxious, but there is no need to say anything when she is drunk.
For a moment, the alcohol slowed down her judgment. Luna belatedly decided to follow in Namasivar’s footsteps.
Of course she had no intention of following him into the bathroom. She’s not a pervert, so would she ever go there to look for it?
‘But why is it so complicated?’
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the main auditorium, not the training ground, so I was confused about the way.
Except for her entrance ceremony, there is no need to come to the main auditorium. If she has to, it’s for training.
But even that training is done in a personal training center, not in the main auditorium. Moreover, the structure was complicated.
‘Shivar might be a little lost too. ‘He won’t know at all.’
Since this has already happened, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to go to the bathroom. If you memorize the route, it will be convenient later.
So, it was about time Luna headed to the bathroom to look for Sivar.
Wow!!
A noise caught my ear. It sounds like an object made of glass is breaking.
Humans are sensitive to the sound of glass breaking. Luna also heard the sound and turned her head.
‘What is it? ‘What do you mean?’
She herself was wandering, so there was no one in her hallway. But she could be heard from a short distance away.
Luna moved her steps in the direction she heard the sound. She plans to just check and leave.
And…
“······Huh?”
“Are you okay?”
“I, I’m fine.”
I was able to see the murder scene, or rather the scene of violence.
I don’t know why, but her Ellie is stuck against her wall and her Sivar is worried about her.
Ellie’s face had turned quite pale, and she looked relieved as Sivar approached her.
If you just look at this, it will look like lovers enjoying a secret meeting. However, it is different when you look at the ‘people’ on the floor.
“Well, but that person isn’t dead, is he?”
“I don’t know.”
A man is lying on the floor. A man with gray hair.
A broken bottle held in Shivar’s hand along with a piece of broken glass near the head.
When I saw this, it seemed like Sivar had hit the man on the head. Because the force itself was strong, the bottle shattered.
‘What the hell is this…?’
Because I drank alcohol, I had trouble making good decisions. At first glance, it seems that Sivar saved Ellie from danger.
This is something worthy of praise. However, what Eli said next was truly shocking.
“It’s okay if you don’t know. That person said he was the prince. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“Prince?”
“You can think of him as a very high-ranking person.”
It is said that the person who broke Sivar’s earthen pot was the emperor. How on earth did this happen?
Just a moment ago, he offered the princess a drink, but now he exploded his head with a bottle. There is no such thing as spectacle.
“What’s going on? Hmm?”
But there was no time to think about anything else. A man silently approached Luna’s side.
The color of the hair was the same as that of the man who fell to the floor. He looked around at the man on the floor and the surroundings.
“What is it? Is it a murder scene? Why is my brother lying down?”
“··· ···”
It was truly an abnormal reaction.
