319 – Let’s get some fresh air too – 2
After kicking out the embarrassing aunt who infiltrated her niece’s brain, she can make a rational decision.
‘Why Chennes?’
It seems to be correct to say that a rational denial of reality was possible.
Anyway, I’m confused. It is not a normal situation for Hyungyeong-gong to be ashamed and to leave Malgo and become the Duchy of Chenes, not the Duchy of Boyar, as a school trip destination. You might think it’s strange to go on a school trip to the same place for two consecutive years, but isn’t the Golden Ball the reason why school trips came to be on the academy schedule?
The starting point of the school trip was to invite academy students to the resort to promote the resort built on the manor. The money-crazy nobleman uses such a large-scale promotional tool only once and then yields it to others? Absolutely no way. Conceded because the other party was a duke? If money is entangled, it’s a golden ball to run into the imperial family, but what?
‘I wonder if it’s another duchy.’
Even the Duchy of Chenes has a reputation as a tourist destination. From the Golden Ball’s point of view, conceding the location of the school trip to the Duchy of Chenes would increase the position of the competitor. Even if this was not a golden ball, but another lord, there was no reason to yield.
“It’s surprising. It seems that the resort is fully booked this year.”
That’s why Marghetta, who had been reading the documents, gave a brief exclamation as she muttered with her doubts.
“Karl is right.”
“Yes?”
“The resort we stayed in last year was designated as an official tourist attraction by the imperial family.”
With those words, all doubts disappeared in an instant. A newly added tourist attraction officially approved by the imperial family after almost 10 years. Then, not only the resort but also the nearby accommodations will explode. In such a saturated state, there is no need to call even the academy students.
‘…An authorized tourist destination.’
It’s strange that such a system exists in this era, but it’s a worldview that’s come too far to tackle it in the first place.
And if the Golden Ball gave up on attracting school trips after receiving a gift from the imperial family that it was an official tourist destination, then it was the imperial family’s will for the academy to go to the Duchy of Chenes. Now, it is necessary to understand the intention of the royal family, not the intention of the Golden Ball.
“We’ve been lucky. Boyar, which is already famous for tourist attractions, has even become an official tourist spot for the imperial family. It will be full of people for the next few years.”
“Yes, it will. It’s nice to see it previewed last year.”
But I smiled at Marghetta, who smiled slightly, and put her thoughts aside.
Questioning the will of the imperial family is a way to make life easier. It’s already been twisted as much as possible, but if it’s twisted further here, it might be better to bite your tongue and die.
‘Let’s stop worrying.’
Besides, it’s not like there isn’t anything to point out.
“I’m especially worried about the VIPs. They won’t be used to life in the empire, so I’m worried they’ll wander alone.”
A dinner table invited by the emperor during the New Year’s Celebration. There, the emperor hinted at the remark.
The Emperor suspects that the Ng Nara trio, who are attending the academy, may be acting as spies. Under such circumstances, sending students twice to Boyar, one of the Empire’s dukedoms and the center of commerce, shipping, and naval power, would be an annoyance. If he had to send it somewhere anyway, it would be the emperor’s heart to want to send it somewhere else.

It’s unfortunate to see an old man with poor health worrying for nothing, but I didn’t have the courage to defend the subject of suspicion in front of the emperor, who was in a state of reasonable suspicion.
Honestly, it’s wrong to be admitted to an academy in a foreign country even though you’re a member of the royal family. The emperor did nothing wrong
In a few days, the fact that this year’s school trip destination was Chennes spread. It’s natural that there’s nothing to hide.
“Isn’t Chennes to the west? First time there!”
And Louise is happy to be able to go to a new destination.
“Oh, Chennes…”
I could see Erich, who was dizzy at the fact that he had to go all the way to Chenes, where Hyun Myeong-gong was holding out.
Unfortunately, Erich is also one of the people who suffered madly from Myeong-gong. No, she is rather a victim who has suffered worse than me. Unlike me, who can minimize contact with Myeong-gong thanks to the shield of being the current head of the inspection department, Erich has to be contacted without any shield.
“Can’t I attend?”
“If you want to see the communication tool turned on during the school trip, that’s fine.”
If you don’t come, Prince Wise will see your face for 24 hours.
Perhaps when Wise Kong heard that one of her nephews hadn’t arrived, he would scream and pull out the communication orb right away. It sounds crazy, but if you’re a wise man, you’re still a person. Do not ignore Zhu Dang, who even the emperor gave up.
“Why is that? I know Chennes is also a place with many tourist attractions, do you have any bad memories?”
“I do have bad memories with the lord over there.”
Seeing Erich, her dealer to die, La Terre opened her mouth to see if she had heard her question, but Erich’s answer made him look even more confused.
“Princess Hyeonmyeong is our maternal aunt. Erich resembles her maternal uncle a bit, so she received a little … Excessive cuteness from Her Excellency Hyeonmyeong.”
“Ah.”
Instead, when she elaborated, La Terre nodded her head in agreement. Judging from her reaction, she seemed to have noticed that the word cute contained many memories, but she didn’t say it because of Erich’s honor.
Yes, she won’t tell anyone how Erich, who was still her little boy, was christened with a quick kiss on her cheek by the wise ball. Then she said Erich, she wasn’t even crying and blowing and fussing, she said…
“Oh, I didn’t know you were involved with the duchy. That’s great!”
In the meantime, Ryutis said in surprise. The person himself is a member of the royal family, so it seems that he is only making fun of him, but there is a high possibility that he is sincere due to his personality. Besides, even among the imperial aristocrats, there were even people who did not know that Erich and I were the nephews of Prince Wise. What will foreigners do?
‘They don’t cross the bridge.’
There is a stepping stone called the Arras family between Hyeonmyeonggong and the Krasius family. There is room for confusion even with a simple leg jammed, but as the uncle became her son-in-law, she changed her surname to Hyungyeonggong, and her mother’s surname changed to Krasius. If you don’t look closely, you might not know the connection point.
Of course, high-ranking aristocrats and bureaucrats who often deal with me can’t be unaware of it.
“Because I never said I was a nephew anywhere.”
“hahahaha, not borrowing family prestige is wonderful!”
“…Yes. Thank you…”
Unlike Lutis, who showed a hearty laugh, Erich evaded his words with a slightly bitter expression.
I know. I know how Erich felt, hiding the fact that he was the nephew of Myeong-gong.
‘I’m ashamed of my maternal aunt.’
I am a possessed person, but how bad can Erich, a real family member, be? The business card that he is a relative of Hyungyeonggong has the power to make you notice even when you are drinking.
Luckily, perhaps noticing Erich’s feelings, Sarah cautiously approached and patted Erich. Then, Ryutis moved away with a pleased expression.
‘That bastard…’
Every time I see someone show off their keen eye for other people’s love affairs, I feel frustrated and pitiful at the same time. If you have another relationship, just do it like now.
“Hey, brother.”
“Huh?”
While I was praying for Ryutis’ luck in love, Louise spoke to me quietly.
“Do you know what Chennes is famous for? There is no pamphlet this year.”
“Ah, a pamphlet.”
It was obvious, so I inadvertently nodded.
Last year, the pamphlet was produced because of a duke who was frantic to make even a penny more. Where is the academy making and spreading pamphlets saying they are on a school trip? The golden ball is crazy.
“I know, I know. Chennes is also a tourist destination in its own way.”
Besides, there are many places that can be visited without pamphlets, whether it be boyars or chess.
“First of all, the granary area is famous.”
The Duchy of Chenes owns the continent’s best granary beyond the empire, so you can see rice fields and fields full of horizons. There is a saying that if there is a poor harvest in the Duchy of Chenes, deaths from starvation will follow one after another across the continent, so it goes without saying how magnificent it is. Actually, I don’t know the entire continent, but the empire’s food production is mostly dependent on Chenes.
“There’s an aerial ship anchored on the shore—”
And the aerial ship (what was) straddled between the abomination and the famous. Perhaps among the emperors of Apels there was a man mad with romance, and a mobile fleet floating in the air existed in Apels. Of course, romance is another word for inefficiency, so it disappeared one by one due to maintenance costs, and the last remaining ship was operated during the war with Kpelofen and crashed due to lack of fuel. Stupid pup.
There is no particular reason why such items are still being preserved. It’s just an object that symbolizes the height of inefficiency and the ugliness of Apels, so I put it as a teacher on the other hand.
“There is also a sanctuary for different species.”
Lastly, an area that protects heterogeneous species that are hard to find in other countries. It is the only place where the lifeline of a different race, which was almost extinct during the reign of Apels, is still alive, and a symbolic place where the emperor of the Kpelofen Empire can claim himself as an ally of the different race.
…Now that I’m talking about it, why does it feel like an administrative district rather than a tourist district? Is there anything you can do about it from the perspective of a government official?
Still, Louise’s eyes sparkled as if there was something intriguing in this administrative district-like lineup.
“An inter-tribal sanctuary?”
“Uh. Elves, dwarves, mermaids, beastmen… There are all kinds of different races.”
Thanks to this, it is a place where mermaids in the front sea, elves in the next forest, and dwarves in the back mountains come true. If you look closely, there might be dragons, so this is where the romance of Yeongjimul lives. Now, if Hyungyeonggong fosters 100,000 knights or 1 million privates, it could become a perfect territory.
Anyway, Louise listened to my explanation with a bright expression, probably because she was curious about the fact that humans and other races lived together. Then, as if thinking of something, I glanced away.
‘Ah.’
When I followed his gaze and turned his head, I could see Jong-gong Ma quietly wiggling his ears. Curiosity seems to have stimulated not only the pupil, but also the teacher.
Certainly, from the point of view of King Majong, the sanctuary for heterogeneous tribes must be a novelty. Excluding my mother, this is my first chance to meet my own people.
‘There must have been nothing to do.’
Before he became a duke, his mother was still alive, so he didn’t have to look for relatives, and after he became a duke, he was busy with work, so he had no time.
‘…Let’s take him.’
The tip of his nose frowns at the thought of that. An elf who grew up not knowing his own people all his life. It’s a tragedy.
