always rationally.
Judge with cold reason, not as your heart guides you.
It was a word that was always kept in Rie’s heart.
It seems that I can’t keep it these days, but I tend to apply it whenever possible in my daily life or in my planned work.
So Lee thought rationally.
What will happen if you marry Rudy?
First… … Lee himself was good.
no. Don’t jump to conclusions right away.
I decided to think rationally, efficiently, and computationally.
Think about Rudy.
First of all, I wasn’t tall.
Average height of mid 170cm.
However, the last time I saw the future Rudy, she was bigger than the current Rudy.
Probably around 180cm… … .
Among adult males, he was one of the tallest.
Also, when I think of the face… … It wasn’t bad when it was mixed.
If so, it meant that the genes to pass on to offspring were not bad.
So let’s think about the other part.
Rudy’s family is the Astrian family, the largest duke of the Empire.
Could there be a better family in the Empire than this?
Of course, as he was the head of the aristocratic faction, it was a family standing on the other side of Lie, who would become the emperor.
In some ways, it was a position where they could become lovers of sorrow, but in a different way, it was an opportunity to make the empire stronger.
Ian, now heir to the Astrian family, is hostile to the emperor.
He was showing a more hostile attitude than the current head of the Astrian family.
However, Rudy is different.
The deeds he had done so far, and the words, were very favorable to the emperor.
I was a little skeptical about the attitude that made me wonder if it was right for someone who grew up in the same family.
Then it was politically good to marry Rudy.
If Rudy establishes a relationship with the imperial family, Rudy’s political position will increase.
If Rudy, whose reputation is skyrocketing these days, properly establishes a ties with the imperial family, it is comparable to Ian.
In a word, it was the sound of not falling behind when competing for the successor position.
This marriage is an act of firm support for Rudy to inherit the duke’s line.
If Rudy inherited the Astrian family, the Astrian family would support the emperor, so it was not bad from a political point of view.
Also important is whether he has debts or other personal problems.
It was said that he had led a crazy life in the past, but as he continued to watch it, it was easy to see that it was just a rumor.
Another personal problem is the fact that there are a lot of women around, but that didn’t matter.
Because it was something you had to catch yourself.
He just had to make sure he couldn’t get away from the charm he had.
So let’s think about it as a couple living together for the rest of our lives.
Do you have a personality that suits him?
There wasn’t much to say about this.
He was already in a good relationship, and his personality subtly got along well.
Although we were quarreling, it didn’t feel like we were really fighting, it felt like we were playing with each other, and most of the decisions were made with the same style, so we finished without any disputes.
Someone said that you should fight and get married at least once before getting married, but how do you do it? I have no reason to fight.
If so, the taste remained.
When we get married, we spend a lot of time together, so we had to match our food and hobbies to some extent.
With that thought in mind, Lie went to Rudy.
However, it was as expected.
“No problem, either.”
It’s been a few days since we’ve been together, but there’s no way we can’t get along.
Their food, their hobbies, and even their way of thinking are similar.
It was very suitable.
So Lee said proudly.
“Are you going to marry me?”
Dragging it, pushing it, being shy, and noticing it wasn’t Rie’s style.
A fair head-to-head fight.
This was Rie’s way of life.
Lee looked at Rudy.
Rudy was looking at Rie with a surprised face.
Seeing such a face, Rie’s face began to heat up more and more.
He knew exactly what he was talking about.
confession.
Lee confessed.
you marry me
It wasn’t that there were no confessions on the part of the woman, but there was shame in her own way.
Especially since we’re not dating each other and we’ve never even talked about it.
“Well, that’s why we are getting married… … !”
Rie was waving her hands back and forth with a bewildered expression on her face and tried to explain later.
Rudy was shocked to see Lie like that.
“Yes, what if I get embarrassed after you tell me?”
When I heard it, it wasn’t wrong.
Rie thought that it would be more effective to just push through than to explain every word here.
“Uh, anyway, chaff, chaff, marriage… … No, let’s get engaged first!!”
Rie looked up at Rudy and said, blushing.
“Oh, no… … If you suddenly say something you’ve never thought of… … It is also a marriage.”
“Bird, something to think about!”
Lie put her hand on her chest and straightened her chest.
“It is said that such a pretty person becomes a wife! Good ability too! Good identity!”
However, contrary to such a dignified attitude, his face was red as if he was about to explode.
Lie took such a posture and slowly turned her gaze to the side.
He didn’t have the confidence to make eye contact with Rudy after saying these things.
Rie obviously thought that she had made a rational decision and confessed, but when she finally got to the point, she acted too emotionally.
After all, Rudy’s bean pods were already written in Li’s eyes.
Rather than being accurate and objective, he had already set a conclusion and rationalized his actions.
Rie just confessed that she liked Rudy.
“Well, by the way, it’s not that we’re suddenly dating, it’s a marriage, isn’t it?”
Rudy was embarrassed, but her face was blushing in embarrassment.
“We’re not like any other kids, we’re dating! just… … chaff, get married… … can’t you… … .”
Rie spoke confidently, but her voice gradually creeped in as she was ashamed of the word marriage.
“Hey, I’ll think about it later… … .”
“no! now… … Say it now!”
When Rudy tried to change her words, Rie proudly said to Rudy.
“I have to go in and study, but if I procrastinate, I’m worried!”
Of course, it was a decided fact that Rie would not be able to study at night, whether she liked it or hated it.
Still, I wanted to hear an answer.
It was natural that he couldn’t properly answer Rudy’s personality just by looking at it.
It was Rudy who seemed to be busy these days and thought a lot.
I’m sure it will take time if I spend it like this.
So I had to push.
Also, it’s good to attack when you have a lot of thoughts like this.
Attacks while the opponent is weak.
For Rie, who had learned monarchy, this kind of warfare was the basic among the basics.
However, there was one catch.
What if Rudy refuses like this?
It was Lee who had thought about this a lot and did not think about it.
Lie, who was still confident, quietly looked at Rudy’s eyes and spoke in a low voice.
“If I… … no?”
“Oh no, that’s fine… … .”
Rudy quickly responded to Rie’s uneasy voice.
Lie’s eyes widened at those words.
“ah.”
Rudy realized what she was saying.
It was Lie’s sudden cry, and what it meant hit her head.
“Well, no… … Suddenly getting married… … .”
“Not marriage, but engagement.”
Rie corrected Rudy’s words.
“I’m going to get married after graduation. You like it too.”
“That’s right, but apart from the good ones—.”
“It would be nice to have a small wedding and prepare delicious food for ourselves.”
“No, not that.”
“Isn’t it a bit too big for a wedding?”
“No, that’s right. No, the premise of getting married is a problem—”
Then Rie came forward and grabbed Rudy’s tie.
Rudy’s head bowed because of the height difference between Lie and Rudy.
Lie lowered Rudy’s head like that, put it right in front of him, and looked into his eyes.
He looked into his eyes and opened his mouth.
“Just tell me. I hate it.”
“good… … long one… … .”
“It’s over.”
Rudy was about to say something, but Rie interrupted it.
Rie came close to Rudy’s face and touched his lips.
On such a dark night, under the moonlight, the lips of two men and women overlapped.
after so much time.
Lee’s room.
Rie touched Rudy’s lips and immediately went back to her room.
As soon as they started talking, Rudy started arguing and didn’t know what to say, so they pushed him and ran away.
“Ehehe… … Hehe… … .”
Rie was lying on the bed, smiling like a fool.
The dignified figure disappeared out of nowhere, and only the pure girl remained.
Even as the final exams were coming soon, Rie was lying on the bed and hugging the teddy bear tightly.
Rie was rolling around on the bed, hugging the doll like that.
***
late night.
Robert was reading various papers in the Academy’s lab.
“Hmm… … .”
It was a document about the rebel’s command wizard, Damon, that I saw last time.
In the center, all the people who broke into the academy last time went to the people by matching their names and appearances.
In the case of Jeffrin, who was originally a famous wizard in the center, he was able to find it quickly.
Of course, the odd thing was that Jeffrin was originally an old man, but he didn’t really care.
This is because the magic used is similar, and as a result of analyzing the magic tools that Luna stole, they found that it was similar to the format of the magic tools that Jeffrin had originally made.
It was not without the possibility of being a disciple, but compared to Jeffrin’s childhood appearance, there were a lot of similarities.
Perhaps people had predicted that Aryandor had done something with time magic.
Through some kind of contract, I wondered if Aryandor gave Zeprin youthfulness, and Jeffrin helped Aryandor.
A wizard the size of Jeffrey suddenly joined the rebels, so it was a fairly reliable guess.
However, it was not easy to find traces of other people.
Benderwood, who had been a slave, had no way to find out, and Damon, who was from the underground city of Epomos, could not find any traces after the disappearance of Epomos.
Still, there were traces of that before, so I was able to find out roughly.
Robert read the documents related to it.
“younger sister… … Ira… … .”
Robert read the papers and slammed his chair back.
“Just looking at it, it looks like he’s trying to do something strange.”
Robert tilted his head back and creaked his chair.
“If there is such a guy… … I can’t just stand still.”
Robert looked at the drawer in front of him.
The drawer contained documents related to Levian, the owner of Luna’s magic book.
Originally, Levian was waiting for the investigation into the magic book, but these days, he was busy with work and there was no progress on the case.
“Because I owed him a debt at a good time… … .”
That guy.
That was the word for Luna.
These days, I thought that I owed him some money because he taught Luna about mana stones and staff synthesis.
What Robert needed was information.
The reason that the magic book came to Luna.
and things before that.
Even if I asked Luna, I didn’t know.
However, her father might have known something.
When Luna received the spell, she was young.
I thought it was necessary to investigate all of that.
“To Rudy… … to that girl… … The three of us can go.”
Robert muttered to himself and sat straight down in his chair.
He got up from his seat and began to fill out a piece of paper.
It was a document related to vacation.
The plan was to submit a vacation during the summer vacation after the final exams are over.
“Isn’t there anything else?”
Robert thought so and went ahead with the paperwork.
