320 – Let’s get some fresh air too – 3
Anyone who knew even a little about the Golden Ball’s tendencies would have thought that this year’s field trip was a boyar. So did I, so did Marghetta, so did the principal. Honestly, all the academy students would have been like that.
And the fact that the Golden Ball is a money-mad nobleman is a fact that has spread not only to the empire but also to the entire continent. Since the title is golden, how could you not know?
That’s why Villar was also caught up in a sudden drift while being careless that he would go to Boyar this year as well.
“I don’t know much about the Empire, but I heard that Chennes is also a pretty attractive place. From a student’s point of view, going to various places will broaden your knowledge.”
“That’s right.”
However, Villar’s expression was so calm that he could not have thought he was a victim of drift. I don’t know if it’s because of my experiences so far that I’ve come to a point where I can laugh at the degree of change in my school trip destination, or if it’s because I thought it was Boyar or Chennes.
Actually, it doesn’t matter either way. Whatever the reason, it would be comfortable for me if Villars and other powers of the Three Kingdoms obediently agreed. The pitiful dispatched officials, trembling in case the escort target went wrong, said, ‘Why Cheness? Is there a conspiracy?’ If you had a seizure, how annoying would it have been?
“Besides, I’ve heard that Mr. Hyeongyeong is the Inspector’s maternal aunt. If so, Chenness must be a familiar place to the Inspector, so I’m expecting a pleasant trip.”
Still, being calm and doing your duty are two different things. From the point of view of Villar, who is in charge of the escort, there is a need to check the possibility that he did not know, so he sneaked out and pointed out the relationship with Hyungyeonggong.
“hahahaha, it’s not really like that. When I was young, I was only in the manor, and now I’m in the institutional life, so I rarely go to Chennes.”
Of course, it was a ridiculous suspicion, so I quickly denied it. It is true that he has a contact with Hyun Myung-gong, but he did not intervene in the selection of a school trip destination. Would I go to Chennes on my own because I’m crazy?
Every other duchy is reluctant to go, but Chennes is especially so. If something happens in Boyar, you can ask Golden Ball for help, but if something happens in Chenes, the person you need to ask for help is Wise Ball.
‘Absolutely not.’
Apart from Hyeonmyeonggong’s ability, you should avoid borrowing Hyeonmyeonggong’s hand as much as possible. If you borrow the hands of other dukes, it will be an ordinary deal if you listen to the duke’s request next time, but if you owe the duke wise, you have to repay the extraordinary.
“Nephew, let’s go! Why don’t you give me a ride!?”
“Yes?”
It is a surprisingly touching true story. In the past, I had been beholden to Myeongyeong-gong for work problems, and I almost lost my mind at such a confident and clear request.
And after that, I really had to ride my shoulders.
‘f*ck.’
I still can’t forget the shame of that time… If you think about it in a good way, you can show off your friendship with the duke. In the first place, being the nephew of Hyeongyeong-gong, what’s the point of showing off in a silent situation?
“Is that so? This school trip will be a special one for you too.”
“Yes, I have high expectations.”
As if believing my words, Villar nodded casually.
In the meantime, I don’t know why the word special trip feels so desperate. It will definitely be special.
Now that the Three Kingdoms Electric Power side has confirmed that they have no complaints about going to Chenes, it’s time to tell the owner how far the guest will go.
The fact that Chennes was selected as a school trip destination is also the will of the imperial family, so it’s okay not to inform it, but if you don’t keep these trivial manners from the point of view of going to someone else’s territory, you will be photographed.
“─That’s all. I’ll send you a detailed list separately.”
– Yes, you must be busy, but thank you for taking care of me.
Even if the opponent is a relative and the only weekly suppressor, you have to be extra careful. How precious is an existence that can suppress even a little the Zhudang that even the emperor gave up.
– I’ll deliver it right away. You will be happy to know that your nephew has contacted you.
“I think I’m going to get angry because I didn’t contact him.”
– hahahaha, probably so.
My uncle bursts into laughter at his heartfelt words. I wanted you to deny that at this timing.
‘Still, it’s better to listen to complaints later.’
I was confused when I heard the uncle’s laughter, but this is true.
It is right to talk to the lord directly about the issue of foreign troops entering one’s territory, but there is a high possibility that it will be leaked the other way while talking about work with Hyungyeonggong. In that case, it is beneficial in many ways to listen to Judang’s complaints after hearing the news belatedly.
In addition, isn’t the maternal uncle acting as a window to the outside world to assist the wise ball in all-in SimCity? If you insist a little, you should contact your uncle.
– By the way, it’s been a while since I saw Erich. She never had a chance to see the child.
And when the business conversation was over, I nodded slightly to my uncle, who brought up a personal subject.
Unlike the head of the household, her mother, and me, who can only be seen at least once a year because she participated in the New Year’s ceremony, Erich is an ordinary aristocratic son. Even if you are a maternal uncle, it is difficult to walk a long way to see one of your children as long as you have the business card of Hyeongyeong-gong’s wife. I can’t meet you unless it’s really rare.
Of course, if Erich goes to the Duchy of Chenes, her maternal uncle and her maternal aunt will greet her warmly, but unfortunately, Erich is in a position to desperately avoid her maternal aunt. More than the karma of wise man who planted trauma in little Erich.

“I’ll go say hello. If you tell me a good time—”
– No, I will visit you, so rest. I can’t show my grown-up nephew an ugly maternal aunt.
At those words, I quietly lowered my eyes. Since Erich might have a seizure if he sees the wise ball, she says that she will go find it by herself.
Erich, how much did you suffer? It wouldn’t have been an ordinary case for my uncle to say that.
‘Is there something I didn’t know about?’
I’m curious, but strangely, I don’t really want to know. There are secrets in the world that must be buried forever…
Anyway, I’ll dress up as if we met while passing by, so when we get to the dorm, we’ll
– eeeing? Jagi! Are you confused?
– Ah.
“Ah.”
A new voice suddenly broke into the room where the uncle should have been alone, a familiar spirit.
This is ruined.

Can I miss a school trip if I break my arm? No, even if it’s broken, Tanian will treat it right away.
Suffering from high fever then? No, if you get sick, you will be sick as much as you are sick, and you will suffer as much as you are in contact with your aunt. Unless you lose consciousness at all, you will inevitably have to suffer from your maternal aunt.
‘It will turn.’
I lay down on the bed and let out a sigh. Why, among many, many places, Chennes? You can just go to Boyar like last year, and if it’s another duchy, there’s Ulken or Serbet. Why must it be Chennes at the west end?
I know that Chenes is famous as a tourist destination. My maternal aunt is not a malicious person either. On the contrary, every time I saw him, he was the one who gave me a lot of pocket money with a smile on his face.
But that was a bit like that.
“Wow, my nephew! Pick me up with my aunt!”
“Aww, it’s so cute… If it’s empty, it’s a joke…”
“Omnyomnyomnyomnyom!”
…Not a little, but a lot. Even at a young age, I seriously doubted that my maternal aunt might think of me as a doll.
-Your aunt is very fond of you, so don’t be too scared of her.
Out of fear, she secretly brought up the story of her school trip while in touch with her mother, but the reply was disappointing. She put it nicely, but in the end she said that even her mother couldn’t help her maternal aunt.
I don’t know why none of the adults I know are normal. The head of the family is too blunt, and the aunt is too light-hearted. I wish there was a middle ground, but there isn’t.
‘Life…’
Still, if I had a little, very small hope, it would be that I am also an adult under the Imperial Law. No matter how much a maternal aunt would bite and suck the cheeks of an adult nephew. If my aunt had the face of being a duke—
No, to be honest, I don’t think I would be drunk in the first place if I had face.
As she clutched her throbbing head and tried to find a way to escape her aunt, the communication device she had left on her bedside table sparkled.
‘What is it?’
Her eyebrows furrowed at the sudden contact. Is there anyone I can contact at this hour?
Still, if you see that he contacted you during the night, it must be something important, and even if it’s not an important business, you can’t unilaterally ignore someone’s contact.
“This is Erich—”
– Jakeunjokaaa!
Instinctively, I closed my eyes at the voice that seemed to pierce my eardrum.
While I was thinking about my aunt, I got a call from my aunt. Did I have the power to turn imagination into reality?
– This maternal aunt! Impressed! Our Jageun Jok-Kya, are you trying to fall in love with this aunt?
“Yes?”
What are you talking about again?
***
I almost suffered from Hyeon Myeong-gong’s complaint, but when people are in crisis, unknown power is displayed. With miraculous instantaneous power, he was able to avoid the bomb known as Myeongyeonggong.
‘I’m sorry.’
Instead, the problem was that it was an evasion that required a scapegoat, not a complete evasion.
Suddenly, he expressed a sincere apology to Erich, who was suffering from drunkenness.
– Jokaaa! How can I, how can I do this? How much I love Jokarul!
“Ah, well, Erich said he wanted to keep in touch with her maternal aunt after a long time, so I gave in.”
Even if I think about it, I sold it in a bit petty way.
– Lies! It’s just that I stopped contacting you!
“Maybe I was nervous because it’s been a while since I’ve been in touch. My aunt contacted me first…”
– Ohhh? Did he!?
But what can I do? You have to live with me first.
‘I’m sorry, Erich.’
However, it is Krasius’ destiny to suffer from the drunkenness of Kwan Lagong, so accept it sweetly.
In addition, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to wear the title of ‘Title: Favored by Gong Hyeon Hyeong-gong’ when you advance into government or social circles?
This hyung believes so.
And the club time the next day.
“…Are you okay?”
“No.”
I could see Erich with fatigue and a sense of betrayal all over her body.
