Let’s go to the brothel – 3
While processing the documents, I glanced at the door several times. Read a few lines, read a few lines, read a few lines, then look again.
If you take care of this paperwork, he will come, and if you even sign it, the door will open. I went to work with that thought in mind, but the door didn’t open enough to make me feel savage.
‘What happened?’
In my nervousness, I fiddled with my pen for no reason. Weird. The time for Carl’s arrival has passed, but there is still no news.
At first, I thought it would be a bit late since Carl would be busy too. Because the knife isn’t a machine and he can’t come every time at the same time.
But this isn’t too late. It’s already past lunch.
‘No contact.’
My eyes went to the communication tool placed on the desk. I wouldn’t have been so worried if I had been contacted that I would be late, or that I would not be able to go today.
But there is no communication. Even after lunch, not even a single text message comes.
‘Should I contact you first?’
A thought I had heard several times before came back to me, but I shook my head and shook it off.
Karl isn’t going to be quiet for no reason. If you think you’re too busy to contact me, you can’t even contact me first.
I’m busy too, but it’s annoying when the phone rings. Carl will too. You can’t interrupt a busy person for nothing.
‘Let’s wait.’
Withdraws the hand that was subtly heading for the communication port and grasps his heart.
Okay, let’s just wait. If it’s Carl, he’s the person I trust and the more I stay still, the more apologetic I will be and comfort him. It’s enough to whine a little then.
“It will be late.”
Muttering what I wanted to hear without anyone listening, I started reading the next document.
And Carl didn’t come until club time.
As soon as it was club time, I headed to the confectionery club room. The sadness that remained, even if it was small, disappeared in an instant.
‘There will be.’
I bit my lip and repeated that. There will be, there should be. If, if the knife isn’t even in the club room, that’s not normal.
The reason Carl stays at the academy is to keep an eye on the royal students. That’s why he couldn’t leave the club where the royal family gathered.
Isn’t there such a knife in the club? If you can’t perform the Royal Watch, which is the reason you stay at the academy, what the hell happened to you?
“Vice president?”
While walking fast in anxiety, I ran into an unexpected person.
“Vice-principal?”
I just blinked my eyes because he was such an unexpected person. He’s usually only in the vice-principal’s room, so it’s hard to see him from the outside.
This awkward meeting must have been the same from the point of view of the vice principal.
And the expression revealed at that moment was clearly regretful.
‘Why?’
Seeing the vice-principal in a place like this is also unsettling, but of course the expression.
“Vice president. Are you going to the pastry club room?”
While his body stiffened in embarrassment, the vice principal spoke first. As if she knows everything, but asks yes clothes.
“Yes. Ka… I have a question for the Inspector General.”
I almost called him by his first name out of habit, but he quickly corrected it to inspector.
And after hearing my answer, the vice-principal’s face was filled with even deeper sadness than before.

No, why?
“Just go. You’ll find out.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I bowed appropriately to the vice principal and hurriedly moved her steps. The words just amplified her anxiety.
You know when you go, normally it would have sounded like a trivial phrase, but why does it sound so creepy today?
“───”
“──? ──”
The closer I got to the club room, the more commotion I felt.
It doesn’t sound right, but it’s by no means a small sound. Even unlike everyday conversation, words come and go quickly.
‘Please.’
A while ago, the former Vice Principal’s reaction, and the exasperated conversation among the members. Now, even if Carl is in the club room, it is not normal.
I dare not wish for nothing to happen. Please don’t be a big accident. I hope the sword won’t be trapped like the last probation.

No, it’s okay if it’s just the same level of probation as last time. It just needs to be something that surpasses it.
“Excuse me.”
“So– Princess Marghetta?”
“Vice President?”
In my urgency, I opened the door without even knocking. It was an unladylike act, but you can’t argue with that now.
As I quickly looked around the club room, I saw members looking at me with puzzled faces.
‘No.’
I couldn’t see the most important person.
“Stop, senior.”
As I stared at the club room in dismay, Lady Louise cautiously approached me.
…Yes, I said you’ll know when you go. You should ask Lady Louise. I’ll give you a good explanation of what’s going on.
“Lady Louise. Can’t you see one?”
At my direct question, Lady Louise only turned her eyes around and couldn’t open her mouth.
But when I looked at her in silence, she finally opened her mouth.
“Hey, that’s it, brother…”
However, he could not complete his words and closed his mouth again. Upon closer inspection, it was not normal for Lady Louise to shed tears.
Please don’t do this. What the hell are you doing?
“That’s it.”
Erich Youngsik’s voice was heard along with a sigh from the side.
“My brother… Is said to be in custody.”
After saying that, Erich Youngsik sighed again. I really didn’t want to say it, but as if I had to do it.
Looking at that, it seems that Erich Youngsik spoke with a really big heart.
“Yes?”
Though the person who heard it did not understand the meaning at all.
What do you mean, detention? Carl is in custody?
…Ah, that means you’ve been put on probation again.
“Then, are you at the dorm now?”
I tried to calm my confused head and opened my mouth.
I see, it was like that. I guess Carl didn’t contact you because he was shy. How long has he been on probation?
The knife is also true. It’s worse than worrying anyway. I guess I have to be honest this time. Oh, but you’ve been put on probation again, so don’t forget the consolation…
“…Detained in the system.”
My escape from reality collapsed at a word from Erich Youngsik.
Detention, detention? Not probation, but really detention?
The assault on the royal family also ended in probation? So you’re saying there’s an incident that surpasses the royal assault?
“…Ah, ah…”
My body collapsed at the belated understanding of the situation.
“Senior!”
“Gongnyeo!”
I could feel something being said along with a helping hand from the side, but I couldn’t hear it properly.
‘I, I…’
A thought came to mind while I was waiting for the knife in the vice president’s office.
Just trust Carl and wait.
You’ll comfort me that much, so forgive me for pretending I can’t win then, that’s what I thought.
‘I didn’t even know that…’
I didn’t even know that Carl was in prison, and I thought it was comfortable.
I felt a sense of bewilderment.

Seeing the princess sitting in her chair without her strength made her heart throb.
“Karl, Carl… I’m sorry, Carl…”
The princess, who muttered so much that she could not be heard unless she listened closely, finally showed her tears.
I, of course, tried hard to pretend I didn’t see it because the other members could understand her feelings. How can I be fine when the person I love more than anyone else is in prison?
Yes, I understand. If the princess hadn’t come, I would have cried too.
“The inspector is currently in custody and will not be able to come for a while.”
When I went to the club room, the vice principal was waiting for my older brother. And she left an incomprehensible comment and she quickly left.
When she belatedly understood, she almost collapsed like a princess. At that moment, the princess, who must have been more shocked than me, came and I endured it.
“What the hell is going on?”
“Luteus also ended with probation.”
I heard a small whisper behind me. It seems that he is speaking inaudibly out of consideration for the princess.
“Does anyone know anything?”
“It can’t be. There’s nothing to guess.”
At that, everyone nodded. It would have been understandable if Ryutis had been detained when he was injured. But it’s not even that, why all of a sudden?
“I’ll have to go see it myself.”
My eyes were focused on Erich’s low words. Even the Princess.
I was careful not to hear it, but I can hear it all… Erich seems to be taken aback by the lady’s gaze, but she tries to control her expression and continues.
“It’s the weekend starting tomorrow. I’ll go to Jedo Island for a while.”
“Then we too—”
“The high-ranking people remain. To see what the royal family will do when they visit the island.”
Erich quickly removed Lutis’s words. It is not a long-term stay like during vacation, but a day trip, but it is difficult to accompany the royal family.
Everyone was convinced because it was a persuasive statement. I wasn’t excluding myself, so I didn’t refute it.
“I’ll go too.”
The princess was quietly listening.
As this was also what everyone expected, Erich silently nodded her head.
***
I really hope it turns off.
“Still, I’m on vacation for five days. How are you feeling?”
“I feel like I want to bite my tongue and die, so please go back.”
“Oops. If you die, there should be someone left to take care of the body.”
You crazy old man, please get out of here.
Seeing the minister laughing in front of my eyes, I felt my mental strength decline in real time.
I knew. I had faith that this nobleman would come faster than anyone else. Rather, it would be strange if it was late.
‘Because I did too.’
A minister behind bars? Even if you can’t do it, it’s something that will make you laugh just thinking about it for about a month. It would be the same for the Minister.
I didn’t expect him to come back after less than an hour since he was detained.
‘It looks like a dog, really.’
Anyway, I foresaw this situation, so I applied for a refusal to visit today. I couldn’t have the courage to look at other people with my current mental strength.
And the Minister knows very well that now is the weakest time for a prisoner. I wouldn’t know because he was the one who entered before me.
So, despite the refusal to visit the minister, he applied for an emergency visit in the name of ‘work of the Ministry of Finance’.
‘There is none.’
Of course, there is no work. It’s just an excuse to look at me.
Having a visit with a prisoner who refuses to visit you under false pretenses. This is an act that should have been written, but the minister chose to teabagging me in exchange for a letter of speech.
“The first day will be cold, but you’ll get used to it quickly.”
Crazy old man. Please turn off
I love their relationship lmao
