Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 204

Little Golden Ball? – 4

I feel like a popular star these days. Wherever I go, splendid eyes surround me.

Until recently, I hadn’t received such a warm gaze. I avoided people as much as possible, and even if I ran into someone in the first place, the other person would take care of themselves. Because meeting the inspector general while passing by is like meeting a kangaroo on a walk.

Shiba An existence that can simultaneously feel the same emotion, “Why is that thing here?” And “It’s dangerous if you touch it wrongly.” That was me not too long ago.

“Did Prince Majong choose him?”

“My father definitely said so.”

And now, it has gone from ‘a kangaroo to be avoided if you see it’ to a ‘safari beast worth taking a risk and watching’.

‘Damn it.’

It’s a shame. They think they are whispering from afar, but they can hear everything. Don’t you feel the eyes and whispers originally directed at you to the point of being bizarre?

However, if you show an unpleasant reaction here, you present the trauma of life to those students. Have to endure that

That’s why I tried to adjust my expression and moved on.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Of course, it was hard work. Keeping a safe distance, but stealthily glancing at each other, rather than avoiding them, they met on purpose.

I would rather have been a spectator since I first came to the academy, but I think I’m going to lose my mind because it’s such a sudden interest. I want you to know that excessive attention is stressful for animals.

In the end, it was only after I got closer to the club room that I was able to shake off the crazy stares.

‘Are you afraid of royalty?’

When I entered the club room, I burst out laughing. Things that cling to you like that can’t bear to come to the nest of royalty.

Of course I understand. If this wasn’t my job, I wouldn’t even come close.

And I understand the burdensome glancing.

‘Majonggong’s preliminary companion.’

A demonic crest that sparks curiosity just by listening to it. The man who has lived alone for more than 100 years, and the duke who has elven blood flows in his heart.

Aristocrats who are sensitive to sociability can’t just listen to that cheat-like sentence. When I hear that Prince Majong has a new companion, I am full of willpower to run like a dog and see him.

With that thought, I turned my gaze to the mirror.

‘There it is.’

I was laughing in the mirror. There is no need to run like a dog. That can be seen so easily.

Wow, I’m so happy.

This is the first time that club time has been so comfortable.

Compared to the academy, where the vast majority are imperial, half of the club is foreign. Of course, even from the point of view of foreigners, the news of Prince Majong’s marriage is a strange thing, but it still does not reach as much as the imperial people.

Thanks to that, I was able to spend my club time relatively comfortably. Even so, I’ve been together for about a year, so it serves as my sanctuary—

“Hyung, can you tell me about the banquet?”

Wasn’t it?

The hand holding the cookie stopped at Erich’s surprise remark, which had been quiet.

‘This bastard.’

The most unexpected person attacks at the most unexpected timing. He didn’t know that his brother, not someone else, would hit the dagger.

There’s something I haven’t done to you… I think there might be, but no matter how much, at this timing, isn’t that too harsh? Even the nearby members looked at Erich in surprise.

Looking at Erich with her eyes filled with a little resentment, Erich awkwardly avoided her gaze.

“Her mother asked what had happened…”

‘Ah.’

The resentment subsided at those words. I couldn’t think of my family name because I was out of my mind.

Certainly, in this situation, the second most likely victim after me and Margeta is the Krasius family. Because when I woke up, in an instant, I felt like I was going to adopt Ma Jong-gong as my daughter-in-law.

‘It’s a crazy word.’

I feel dizzy even thinking about it myself. Even if it is a relationship between Prince Ma and his son-in-law, it is not normal. Not mother-in-law, but daughter-in-law?

Perhaps her mother is in a situation where her hands and feet are shaking and her tears are shaking. She is a mother-in-law who is not even forty, while a daughter-in-law who is over 100.

Amazing. The laws of the empire are complex and bizarre.

“I’ll tell my mother.”

“Yes.”

As if waiting for those words, Erich quickly nodded his head. And a sip of tea with a worldly calm face.

‘I’m sorry.’

I felt uncomfortable thinking about the pressure Erich must have been under in the past few days.

The family who would have pecked at me for what the hell was going on, the nobles who would have been cornered by Erich who was more easygoing than me, Erich who would have cried out only the truth saying that I knew nothing. Isn’t it the triplex of illusion?

Looking at it now, it seems that my dark circles have gotten thicker. The guy who was far from tired.

“…Do you need pocket money?”

“Huh?”

At the unexpected words, Erich only blinked.

I know it’s too out of the blue. I wasn’t usually the type to give small gifts, let alone money. Dull men do cute things like that.

But this time, I want to take care of something.

The faint brotherly love was revived thanks to Jong-gong Ma…

***

I didn’t bother to refuse the sudden offer of pocket money. Considering what I suffered, it seems like the money I deserve.

Originally, when the weekend ends and a new week begins, we are tired. Ordinarily, the day when the week begins can be called Enen’s ordeal to guard against the indolence of the creatures.

However, this ordeal was a bit too harsh.

“Erich, I want to ask you something.”

“Huh?”

As soon as I entered the classroom, a question flew in. It was the words of a friend who only exchanged greetings with moderate face to face, but rather, he spoke first even though they were related to that level. It must be that important.

So I told him to tell me. If you know, answer me, if you don’t know, just say you don’t know.

“I heard that His Excellency Ma Jong-gong proposed to the Inspector General.”

…?

I knew then what it meant to have a hardened head.

After that, I was really distracted. Starting with that bastard, no, that friend, all kinds of nobles rushed in.

My class, the next class, the 2nd grade, the 3rd grade, and even the occasional faculty member.

“Well, I’m not sure.”

I really don’t know. My older brother proposed to Ma Jong-gong? It’s the first time I’ve heard such news from you.

First of all, I covered it as much as possible. I don’t know the details, I’m not sure, so don’t think too deeply.

Yes, there must be a misunderstanding. If it’s such a large incident, there’s no way I, as a family member, wouldn’t know.

– Erich. Didn’t you hear something from Carl?

“…….”

And when I got a call from her mother at lunchtime, I realized it wasn’t a rumor, it was real.

No words came out due to the unexpected shock. Really? The real brother got a marriage proposal from Ma Jong-gong?

‘Who is the princess?’

Instinctively, I thought that.

What will happen to Princess Majong if he goes after his older brother? I can’t imagine Gong Majong becoming her second wife, but even more unimaginable that she pushes Gongnyeo out and becomes her first.

‘Louise?’

If Duke Majong becomes his older brother’s first wife, Louise will explode. Fortunately, Louise is close with the princess, but she doesn’t know anything about the princess.

At least, even if the princess is pushed out of the first place, there is a possibility that she will become a wife with the same dignity as the duchess. But what about Louise? Will Ma Jong-gong tolerate the baron Young lady who he doesn’t know?

I felt like my head would break. Her mother’s plea to ask what’s going on, the nobles’ pressure to spit out what they know, and Louise’s future.

…Honestly, it seems like an idiot to worry about the marriage of the person who dumped me, but isn’t that a friend? ‘I can’t have it, so I’ll break it!’ The same thing is a banal villain that only comes out of old novels.

‘It’s frustrating.’

Looking at Louise while collecting the pocket money she received from her older brother, I felt like I was about to sigh. I saw Louise who was restless as if she had heard the news.

No, he seems to be trying to pretend to be calm in his own way, but anyone can see that he is agitated.

‘Is it fortunate though?’

At least, Louise’s eyes were burning intensely, so I felt relieved.

In the meantime, Louise has been frustrating to the viewer, but now the fire has fallen on his feet. After being driven into a crisis, he seems to have the will to move.

I’m glad then. No matter how much Louise is unfamiliar with Prince Ma, isn’t it the older brother’s decision to marry in the end?

And that thought was the same for everyone gathered here.

‘Now?’

‘Now.’

Looking at Ryutis. A conversation between eyes that came and went quickly.

“Oh, I left something in the classroom. I’ll be back for a while.”

After a quick exchange of gazes, a flare was fired.

***

Are those bastards adolescent dementia?

“Oh, I left something in the classroom. I’ll be back in a minute.”

When Erich first opened her mouth, she thought so.

“You too? I’ll go with you.”

I thought it was like that when I had luteitis.

After that, when I went to Ainter, Later, and Tanian in a row, I didn’t even think about catching them.

‘The future of the continent is alternative.’

The bright young people are already forgetful.

Louis also had a confused look on his face for a moment, perhaps embarrassed by this situation, but quickly smiled hehehe.

“Everyone must have been in a hurry.”

“Yes, I must have been in a hurry.”

He nodded his head with effort at Louise’s words. Considering the honor of the royal family, let’s say it’s not youth dementia, but haste.

And silence again. It’s not particularly awkward because the two of them are alone, but suddenly five people rushed out and there was a gap in the conversation.

“Hey, brother.”

“Yes. Tell me.”

Although Louise, always at the center of the conversation, did not tolerate even a momentary gap.

“His Excellency Majong… What do you think?”

But there is no need to fill the gap like this.

When the dagger that I barely evaded flew back, I smiled bitterly. After all, Louise, who is bright and sunny, seems to be an aristocrat. I see he’s interested in these things.

“Well, he’s an undeserved favourite.”

A word carefully spoken after much thought.

It’s not that I don’t like Majonggong. He really gives undeserved favors, how could I hate him? It’s just that the nature of the favor is completely unexpected, so it’s just embarrassing.

“Is that so?”

At those words, Louise gently lowered her gaze before continuing.

“Still, I think it’s amazing. You let everyone know your feelings.”

“Not that great…”

Inadvertently, I agreed. It’s amazing. The scale is so big, it’s amazing.

“I was afraid to show my heart to one person…”

Muttering that, Louise only touched her hand. He was afraid to show his heart…

‘Are you talking about your sister?’

Certainly, the old Louise hid her trauma tightly. But now, isn’t it the state of confiding in others? It is not right to still feel embarrassed about the past.

“You can be confident now.”

“Is that right?”

“Yes.”

To my consolation, Louise smiled again. As if he heard what he wanted to hear.

“Then can I say that I like you too?”

“That—”

Really…?

Habitually, I tried to answer but stopped. What now?

‘You mean you like him as an advisor?’

My head, which had been stopped, turned again. I took it too sensitively, probably because it was right after I was shocked by King Majong.

‘…Is that so?’

But seeing Louise’s expression, her mouth didn’t open.

A flushed face, trembling eyes that only stare at me, restless hands.

I am blind, not brainless.

But today, I just have a desire to be stupid.

‘…Should I say I didn’t hear it?’

Of course, it’s an excuse that won’t work.
