300 – Abduction 12
‘It seems like the outline is slowly coming out.’
Leaving her lecture, Kyle thought about the order of her engagement.
If this continues in the future, it seems that the order will be Tisha, Elgar, Saint, and Princess.
First of all, it is Tisha and Elgar who are showing an overwhelming situation in the academic part.
They both will score high marks for themselves and their parents.
I stand out in lectures right away, and I am overwhelming in various assignments and presentations.
‘The saintess isn’t bad either, but compared to the two of them, she’s a bit lacking.’
He’s definitely smart, but his weakness is that he’s not used to the academy yet.
If I had a little more time, I would catch up quickly, but if I only look at the first semester, it’s not enough compared to the two.
‘And the princess….’
Recalling the princess, Kyle let out a sigh of pity for her.
What’s wrong? Absolutely not. She is also doing well as a princess.
She’s doing her job as an assistant teacher without any accidents.
Of course, it depends. Compared to other assistant teachers, it is average no matter how high it is.
Since she is a princess from the point of view of a teaching professor, I thought she would take it for granted.
Unexpectedly, the princess is being swept around by her advisor’s stormy nagging.
Surprised by the news, Kyle ran to her princess, and she even whined uncharacteristically.
I didn’t know it would be this hard. I didn’t expect assistant teachers to be so respectful.
‘Oh, how is it? Our princess. That’s how I stopped it.’
I had nothing to say. Just hold him in his arms and pat him on the back.
The princess laughed and said that she was comforted enough by this.
However, Kyle continued to hug her princess, trying hard to hide her apologetic expression.
Actually, Kyle had a rough idea of the reason.
Because the prince once said this to himself.
“There will come a time when her brother will whine uncharacteristically. Then she will just comfort you.”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“He said that you can call him big brother in private.”
“Ah… yes bro Well, you seem to know something.”
“Shouldn’t the process be fair? What a difficult position to be an assistant teacher. It was not easy to let them go because they were members of the imperial family. That’s why I personally gave strict orders to see and treat her as an ‘assistant teacher’ rather than a ‘princess’. I hope the sister-in-law will understand.”
Of course I understand. If you easily become an assistant teacher as a princess, the competition won’t be established.
However, it was no different from what he said, that the princess’s first high school student had been confirmed.
Assistant teacher. Kyle is a graduate student. Even to the doctoral degree.
The princess said that she doesn’t have to go through the doctoral course, but she still has to submit at least one thesis.
Why? There are still three years left until Kyle and the rest of her graduate from the academy.
In the meantime, there could be no surer way to prove her academic achievements.
Honestly, Baron John Nassen still has a long way to go about the ‘academic achievement’ part.
However, the baroness holds onto that part, saying, ‘Very important!’
He said that studying, as well as training, is as important as fighting with oneself.
‘Is the only way for the princess to reverse herself now is the use of force.’
This part is actually not entirely advantageous to the princess.
As I said before, the princess has already entered her strong side.
Thus, more effort and greater realization are required to grow.
Inwardly, ‘Cheer up! The princess!’ While cheering, did the tiger say that he would come if I told him?
From the front, the princess appeared, feeling even more queer than last time.
“The Princess.”
“… Kyle.”
Originally, as soon as she saw Kyle, she would have laughed and rushed at him.
Then let’s sparring, or maybe cheating? I am a woman who would have laughed.
As if he didn’t even have the energy to do that anymore, he was just waving his hand.
Feeling the joys and sorrows of the graduate students, Kyle approached the princess.
“Are you having a hard time?”
“No.”
“Aren’t you tired?”
“Not a lot, but hard enough to die.”
In response to the princess’ answer, Kyle unknowingly let her sigh, saying, ‘Wow.’
Could it be that the princess challenged the top 10 empires to fight every day?
She was a troublemaker to the point of making both the Emperor and the Crown Prince pound their heads.
Even Jon Nassen even commented that she was ‘not like John Nassen, but like John Nassen’.
‘To collapse during the graduate school course. After all, this is what crazy people do.’
It’s a pity. And I’m sorry. She thinks that in the end she is all because of herself.
I want to do something, but I hesitate because doing so would go against fairness.
“Shall we take a walk? A walk will make you feel better.”
“Then. Because her head hurts. Now, just looking at the book makes me feel sick.”
That’s not a good sign, he muttered to himself.
Kyle, who came out to the back of the princess with the princess, took a seat in a suitable place.
“You must have suffered a lot. That would be very difficult.”
“Sure. Kyle, I think I know why you and the others stopped it.”
“Not giving up even now.”
“No. You know that? Giving up is the worst deduction for John Nassen.”
I know. It’s a problem you know too well. Kyle couldn’t help but nod her head.
Give up. Neither the baron who heard the news nor the baroness’s wife could hide their disappointment.
“Still, I am doing my best, so there is nothing to worry about. Once you do it, it will be of great help to me. They say this is not something anyone can do.”
“It’s not that everyone can’t do it, it would be more accurate to say that almost everyone can do it.”
If it was easy, I would have been a graduate student, went through a doctoral course, and became a professor.
If that doesn’t work, then the faculty members have become the top elite and are in the academy.
“How much is left now?”
It’s obvious what you’re asking. It probably refers to the day that determines the order of engagement.
Kyle thought for a moment and then replied, ‘About four months at the most.’
“… Do you want to look at the long term? Trying to pull it out at once is too hard.”
I never thought the word ‘look at the long term’ would come out of the mouth of the princess.
I can’t believe that a person who only knows how to go straight, who rushes unconditionally at once, changes like that.
Wonderful, graduate student. No, I’m afraid! Postgraduate student!
“Right. Did you hear the news?”
“What news?”
“I barely had time to spare the other day and drank tea with Tisha, the princess, and the saintess. There is no particular reason to tell our story anymore, and even if we did, it would only make us feel sorry for each other. So, I had a different story. Was it Ian? The man who said he was looking forward to our top 10.”
Kyle nodded her head and said yes.
Why is the story of Ian appearing all of a sudden?
“It seems that the story is slowly turning. The woman he likes, another man likes. But she says the woman’s position is ambiguous and she has to choose one or the other.”
“People who like to talk about their love affairs must be whispering like that. You will do well. If it’s that way, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.”
She asked how the princess could be so sure.
It is true that a woman named Nell is a young lady of a baron family.
There was no precedent for such a low-ranking noble to have multiple partners.
“The Princess. She’s a human by nature, and when she’s in a hurry, she’s bound to find a way.”
“If you are in a hurry, you are looking for a way?”
“An example of this is that the princess immediately volunteered as an assistant teacher without having to go far.”
Then, the princess said, ‘Ah.
It’s a bonus that she nodded her head as if she understood instantly.
“There he is.”
At this time, several people from the front began to approach Kyle and the princess.
Looking closely, they were the ones I had seen several times before in the imperial palace.
“Young master Kyle. I have been ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince. I think you should go with me.”
“Suddenly? Did something happen?”
“I don’t know exactly, but it seems a little like that.”
It’s not often that the crown prince has been able to find him through direct communication like this.
Kyle stood up while tilting her head.
Then, she looked back at her princess and was about to reply, “I’ll be back.”
“The 5th Princess is poor. I think you should go with me too.”
“… I also? Why me?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince has issued a call-up order for the top 10 members of the Empire. So the 10 river people are gathering one after another. It seems that even the head of the church, Priscilla, was summoned.”
Then, suddenly, a glare burst out of the princess’s tired eyes.
Unless it’s really rare, it’s extremely rare to call all the top 10 at the same time.
Not only was he busy at the academy, but it wasn’t enough to call the leader of the church, Priscilla.
Calling Kyle like now meant that he would look good no matter what happened.
“… What do you think happened?”
“Even if it does, it looks very good.”
Kyle and the princess nodded while looking at each other and immediately followed the crowd.
*
“… Majesty. Could you say it again?”
After quickly reaching the imperial palace, Kyle had an audience with the prince right away.
What on earth did he call himself so suddenly?
“They say there are strangers from the east.”
“East… A nomadic tribe?”
Although Gahan has disappeared, the tribes there are still strong.
If someone came from there, it wouldn’t be strange for the 10 empires to gather.
Because always showing the power of the empire stronger is the way to keep the peace.
‘Did these birds get into trouble again and have a strange accident?’
It is not very impossible. Didn’t everyone really give in?
But when I think of what Baron John Nassen did, I can’t think of such nonsense….
“That’s not it. Kyle.”
However, the prince shook his head at Kyle’s question.
“The eastern grassland where the nomadic tribes live. Farther away than that, farther east. They say they came from beyond.”
