Unwanted main cast – 3
For about two days, all the academy staff members turned the bomb around, hoping it wouldn’t explode in their hands, but I collected and set it off.
“This is Karl Krasius, who served as advisor. All of them are old acquaintances. Please take good care of me.”
I looked at the confectionery club members who could be legally monitored under the pretext of torture in the future. Louise smiling brightly, Erich unable to control his trembling pupils, and Ainter smiling as always. Now, just thinking about adding three more will make my heart feel magnificent.
“I’ll be seeing you often, so I’m going to call you comfortably. Is there anyone you want to get close to over time?”
We are going to unify in short language in the future, so there is an objection. Although the words were aimed at Ainter, Ainter shook his head lightly with a smile on his face. It seems to be fine. Now that I have a reason to speak comfortably to the three people who will come in, I am satisfied.
“It’s an advisor, but you don’t have to look at me. If you need something or something happens, call me and treat me comfortably.”
I finished the introduction with appropriate words without anything special. I had never been a member of the staff, so I didn’t really know what the adviser was doing, but when I heard from the assistant principal, he said that in reality, he only puts his name on it and checks to see if there are any problems.
This is exactly the level of role I want. The other faculty members would be crazy about looking after the prince, but I almost went crazy because I had no reason to look after him. In the original work where I didn’t exist, it’s regrettable who would have been in charge of this heinous devil.
However, there is no need to harbor doubts and pity for things that have not happened. Because now I’m in charge of that demon cave. Looking at Louise, the creator of this demon cave, he was happily gazing at the pile of confectionery tools and ingredients. I’m sure the faculty member who bought them gasp would be delighted if they knew how twinkling their eyes were.
Erich, who was looking at Luise with warm eyes, met her eyes with mine, and she awkwardly looked away. Come to think of it, while she came to Yiwang Academy, she also tried to meet Erich often, but it happened that the relationship between advisor and member was like this. Now I can make a lot of progress in my awkward relationship with Erich. Erich will be happy too.

Erich averted her gaze as her sword met his eyes. Her head knows it doesn’t have to be this way, but what if her body reacts first. It was Erich, who lived under the gaze of the family head all her life. A knife with eyes resembling a householder had no choice but to become an object that was instinctively reluctant.
‘I can’t do this.’
Even when they were young, Carl and Erich weren’t close brothers, but they weren’t brothers who turned their backs on each other either. Erich has no other siblings, so he can’t keep his distance from his only siblings.
In addition, I was able to do the same club activities as Louise.
‘An opportunity to stick with Louise during club time.’
Or you can meet naturally at other times under the pretext of being related to clubs.
Even if there is a strange impurity called the prince, I cannot give up this opportunity. Erich almost collapsed when he heard the news that Karl would serve as an advisor, but that made him more determined. If you can’t overcome your fear and avoidance of knives, living with Louise is impossible!
A man so blinded by love found the courage to face the trauma he had suffered for years.

Around the time Erich made up his mind to get out of the darkness and move towards the light, Ainter wasn’t too comfortable either. It was because of Carl, who looked curiously at Louise, who was laying out the ingredients to make cookies before she knew it.
‘I’ve heard that it’s coming, but…’
I never imagined that we would meet in a relationship like this. The eyes of Ainter, who was smiling, sank a little.
It was an unreasonable move for Ainter to be included in Louise’s club. There were occasions when members of the imperial family entered the academy, but there were no cases where they joined the club. This is for consideration, for this external reason, as it may put a burden on other students and faculty members who will be in charge of advisors.
In reality, the reason is a dispute over the right of succession between the princes. If a certain prince enters the club and contacts the nobles of that club, there is a possibility that the prince’s faction will be people whom the prince could not contact in normal times. On the other hand, the nobles are suddenly recognized by other princes as the faction of the prince and degenerate into a community of forced destiny.
So, in order for the princes to reduce the opponent’s big variables, and for the nobles to avoid a situation like lightning in a dry sky, joining the royal family’s club was not made implicitly. And two years ago, the issue of the succession of the imperial family came to an end when the first prince was installed as the crown prince after a fierce confrontation between the first and second princes.
But suddenly, the 3rd prince, Ainter, who was holding her breath, violates her tacit rules and joins the club? The prince would immediately have the urge to hang Ainter on a rope. Ainter, who is the same as the second prince to the crown prince, who is the child of her empress, is the last element of anxiety.
In fact, shortly after the fall of the 2nd prince and the empress was decided by the installation of the crown prince, the blade of the inspection department that was cutting the 2nd prince’s wave was also directed at the 3rd prince. Backed by the emperor’s connivance and the crown prince’s instructions, the sword of the inspection department could not be stopped even by the name of the third prince.
“Your Highness. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, was satisfied with your silence.”
And at that time, it was Karl Krasius who led the inspection department and invaded the third prince’s palace. He became the youngest department head at the age of 19 and was a divinity who shook the imperial political world. The divinity sat face to face with Ainter in his audience room and calmly opened his mouth.
“Your Highness stayed silent until the end, not with the 2nd Prince. It was a wise choice.”
Ainter smiled bitterly at Carl’s smiling face. Her real mother, the empress, shouted, “Whose child are you? Still, Ainter remained silent. That’s why Ainter survived even though the second prince met her mysterious death and her empress was effectively imprisoned.
“His Highness, the crown prince, does not want any more disturbance in the imperial family.”
“Even though I have different mothers than Her Highness, the Crown Prince, how can they have different meanings when they have the same father?”
“You are indeed wise.”
A warning to shut up if you don’t want to die, and a brief acceptance that you know. After that conversation, Carl rose from his seat without regret. With a mask-like smile on his face.
“I’m sorry for causing a commotion in Your Highness’s palace. The investigation found no problems. Apparently, those who were jealous of Your Highness’ fame framed them. I will punish them severely and apologize on their behalf.”
“It could be. I understand.”
Since then, Ainter has lived a life holding his breath, following the prince’s warning delivered by Carl. In the past, even when the 2nd Prince faction collapsed at the hands of the inspection department with the emperor and the crown prince on their backs, and even when Ainter’s mother’s family, the Marquis of Asilon, was swept away, they kept their silence. Thanks to that, Ainter was still alive, and he was going to live that way.
However, after meeting a girl, Ainter’s life changed. Ainter, who was walking around the academy with a bunch of watchers named Followers, saw a girl with impressive pink hair. It was just a whim. Even at the academy, he tried to hold his breath as the prince had intended, but he spoke to the girl.
“Lou, my name is Louise Naird!”
Louisé, a girl who trembles and answers the question of Ainter, who is a prince, although no real authority exists. Ainter continued to meet Louise after that. As a result, Louise relaxed little by little and treated Ainter comfortably. Ah Inter felt in her a affection she had never felt for anyone else.
It started as a whim and lasted for a short time, but the depth is sincere. Ainter was so confident. That’s why when Louise heard that she was looking for club members, she wrote her name without hesitation. Because of this, the prince might try his hand again. The sword in front of his eyes may turn into the prince’s blade and deal with Ainter.
However, Ainter went ahead. He didn’t want to remain silent this time. A firm resolve filled Louise’s eyes as she looked at the knife with the flour on her face and Ainter’s eyes.

‘Am I doing well…?’
Seeing Louise squirming hard, I have a question. I need to have done confectionery before to know if I’m doing well or not. I have no choice but to watch this and see. But since I am confident, I believe that I will be doing well. There are enough tools, so no problem.
I glanced at the small oven next to me. Perhaps because the original work is a fantasy, all kinds of tools are proudly roaming around in the name of magic. How dumbfounded I was when I saw that there were wiretaps, locators, and surveillance cameras in the Inspection Department’s warehouse. I would have been rather disappointed if I didn’t have an oven in that situation.
Looking at the oven in a daze, her eyes met Ainter’s. He’s still smiling, so he doesn’t know what’s inside. It’s the first time I’ve seen her in the palace of the third emperor two years ago.
‘It was too much for the child.’
In this world, the standard for an adult is 17 years old. However, when I first met Ainter, he was 15 years old, unable to fit into the narrow range. No matter how much it was the prince’s order, the thought that he might have put too much pressure on a 15-year-old child was sitting in a corner.
Two years ago, when work in the north ended and the crown prince won the succession dispute. At the time, the Imperial administration was suffering from manpower shortages, to the point where being alive and staying in office would be enough reasons for promotion.
Those who survived and proved their abilities were promoted, and the minister and I are among the victims. It seems that the minister has become a little more angry since then.
…No, that man was a carrier of the rage virus even before he was promoted to minister. I almost beautified for a moment.
Anyway, after going through a lot of things in the north, and having risen to the position of head of the Inspection Department, I was in a distorted and abnormal state. Because of that, there were often cases where emotions were loaded on the execution of duties, and Ainter was also pressured more than necessary. Although the prince seemed satisfied. He’s like a pervert
Erich and Ainter are like that. I wonder why there are only people in this club who I feel sorry for. Looking around at his teammates with a mixed feeling, his gaze landed on Louise. Perhaps feeling my gaze, Louise tilted his head and looked at me with eyes asking why.
Still, I’m glad I didn’t feel sorry for you. Rather, he should be sorry for me.
If it wasn’t for you capybara… I wouldn’t have come this far…
