How to Survive at the Academy chapter 145

Golden Haunting (3)

“I would like to have breakfast with you, but Selaha, Princess of Frost, has arrived at the Roth Taylor mansion. Since the imperial family personally came, it should be treated with utmost respect as an example of a subservient.”

The place was a small reception room at the back of the main lobby.

Although it was small, it was already bigger than the living room of any other house. All of the furniture in the room was also of high quality, so it was not easy to count all the money that went into this room.

“So in the morning we are guided to our room, let’s rest, then let’s have lunch together. There are a lot of stories that have been pushed back, and there are a lot of grievances that need to be resolved, right?”

“Yes, thank you. father.”

It’s a conversation with a mask on.

It’s a conversation between a son who returns after a long absence and a father who welcomes him… but there is no sincerity in the conversation between the two.

It was close to a skirmish between giving and receiving before judging each other and looking inside.

“Right now, the house is going to be cluttered all over the place. A grand social church is scheduled to open tomorrow evening. All of the users are busy preparing for it, so I hope you will understand even if you are a little negligent. Everyone will be crazy as the most distinguished guests of the empire will arrive one after another…”

During the five-day period, it is said that different distinguished guests come and go on different days.

Each distinguished guest has a different visit date, different length of stay, and different personalities and statuses.

“I am sorry to have come back at such a chaotic time.”

“not. Rather, it was called this time. At this social gathering, let the world know that my proud son, Ed Roth Taylor, is back. You’ve been out of the social world for a long time, so you may need to make new connections. I hope this social church will be an opportunity for that.”

Crepin said so, and saw Yenika and Lucy sipping tea on the other side of the sofa.

“Is that… the classmates to whom our son is being taken care of?”

“Yeah yeah… Yenica… My name is Pale Rover… Ah…”

Sweating, stuttering, blurring the tail, shaking hands, shaking eyes. He also has a knack for choosing and doing all the things that shouldn’t be done because he’s nervous.

Yenika was nervous to the limit due to the fact that she was in front of a duke to rule the empire in addition to the treatment of such an absurd scale.

I can’t make eye contact while braiding my braided hair. Some would consider even this appearance as insignificant charm, but for the first time, it was not something he could say in front of the head of the duke family.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. If you are my son’s friend, you should be proud of your shoulders.”

As Crepin spoke in a benevolent tone, Yenika came to her senses and nodded her head.

“It’s not like I’ve never heard of that name. Did I mention that he was a spirit magician with great skills to handle high-ranking spirits without difficulty? And that’s the one Tanya said in the letter… the famous and rare genius wizard…”

“Lucy Meryl.”

words are short

Yenika hiccuped. He was surprised to see Lucy just throwing out her name without being respectful or respectful. That too in front of the Duke in charge of the Roth Taylor family.

Lucy rested her body on the backrest and stared blankly at Crepin without any movement.

Not only Yenica, but even the people around her have hardened as it is. Crepin Rothtailer is famous for being a benevolent duke, but he was also extremely harsh on those who crossed the line.

Authority is established by others, but there are times when you must build it yourself. Otherwise, discipline will become slack, or there will be servants who look down on the monarch.

Crepin, who must have been well aware of that fact, looked at Lucy, who spat out a few short words.

Even in this atmosphere, there was no change in Lucy’s behavior.

either one Either he’s a person with no common sense, or… the other person isn’t a threat to himself.

Lucy Meryl was closer to the latter than the former.

Even if you do this, the confidence that no one can subdue you.

Even if the opponent has a higher status, the idea is that absolute force can never defeat him.

Therefore, Lucy acts at her own pace no matter who she meets. Except for one, Ed Roth Taylor.

“I brought some fun friends.”

Crepin finally relaxed her expression. He also read the confidence underlying Lucy’s underlying psychology.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t bullshit. He even holds the title of Sylvania’s greatest genius.

Still, it was clear that the attitude of challenging Roth Taylor’s name had crossed the line, but Crepin was in a more urgent situation to go out to meet the Princess of Frost.

“Well then, let’s talk slowly over lunch.”

Having said that, Crepin got up from his seat.

“…Oh right. I have something to offer you. father.”

*“Then, if you need anything, please call me.”

– quiver

The servant who greeted me politely closed the door carefully.

Ed Roth Taylor’s private room.

The room the pathetic and stupid third-rate villain used before entering the Sylvania Academy.

It is simply surprising that the room remains intact despite the excommunication. In the first place, there are so many rooms left in the Rostaler mansion, so this amount of wasted space can be negligible.

I heard that Arwen Roth-Taylor’s room was not removed and left as it is, but it may have special meaning.

The three rooms are just as large as if they were attached to each other. I sat on the side of the bed in the luxurious private room.

On the side table next to the bed, there is a car that the user rode. I picked up the whole teacup and poured it into the flowerpot by the window.

Then, I wandered around the room for a while, looking for any possible trap devices or tech tools for monitoring. For once, nothing caught my eye.

Then I put the lock on the door to make sure it worked, and finished checking that the windows were locked properly.

It’s a basic safety check like this… It doesn’t mean much because crepins can pierce everything if they want to. Still, I had to keep the minimum boundary, so I skipped it a bit.

“Hmm… Is there anything else to check?”

All the employees welcome me, Crepin welcomes me, and even the room I used to stay in.

No matter who it is, it feels like returning to my hometown, and I can’t help but feel relieved, but I never lifted my boundaries.

It was the moment when I decided to check all possible risk factors.

– quiver

The door to my room opened. Seeing that he came in without even knocking, he wasn’t a user.

The reason that the face cannot be seen at first glance is because of her dwarf body. If you lower your gaze, you can see Lucy, with her white hair hanging down, pushing the door.

“You… didn’t you say you were going to the next room after all?”

Because of the useless battle with Crepin, Lucy couldn’t bear to say that she wanted to share a room with me.

If I had brought those words out in front of my parents in the first place, everything would have turned upside down. Lucy shook her head and walked into the room often, holding the pillow she was holding in her arms.

Then I threw myself on the big bed in the corner of my room. It’s cute to see him buried in the cotton of the bed.

“Wake me up if something happens.”

Having said that, he began to fall asleep.

You don’t need to worry too much about sleeping like that, as you can get up quickly at important moments.

Most of all, didn’t you promise to stick with me and protect me while I was in the mansion? I can see that he will be by my side thoroughly as promised, so I was quite grateful for my other side.

He doesn’t care about everything, he acts like he’s living a rough life every time, but he never misses the important thing.

I started to search the room again, leaving Lucy to sleep with a peaceful face.

When I opened the closet, there were several luxurious clothes that seemed to have been washed recently. It seems that they prepared it in advance so that they could wear it when participating in a social church.

Bed sheets, curtains, and even sofa covers are all clean with no dust. When they heard the news that I was coming back, it looked like they had cleaned it up.

As it was, I headed towards the private table by the opposite window. It seemed to be a study desk that was prepared to be used when studying or reading a book.

I opened all the drawers to see if I could get anything. Ed Roth-Taylor’s junk was still there.

From noblemtl.com

Most of them were luxurious jewelry accessories, and ties, daggers for dress code, and luxurious writing instruments were also caught in sight.

– Chin, chin.

All of a sudden, the top drawer that I was trying to check last time does not open.

It looked like it was locked inside.

– ‘So I wanted to ask you just in case. Maybe… the reason why your brother tried to get out of the family somehow… was it… related to the drawer…?’

– ‘…a drawer…?’

– ‘The drawer in my brother’s room who always… never let me get closer and never let me open it. At some point, you even locked it with a key. Even now, if I go to the Roth Taylor mansion, I’ll be there…’

“Is this… the drawer Tanya was talking about…”

clear your breath

There is something in this.

Things that crazy Ed Roth Taylor tried to hide before I took possession.

If you haven’t touched Ed Roth-Taylor’s room, it’s likely still in this drawer.

But… there’s no way to open it right now. I don’t even know where the key is.

“…will you break it?”

It doesn’t look very sturdy.

However, smashing the desk as soon as it arrives is a very conspicuous act. If the user reports it, he may be suspicious of crepins.

Even if you don’t doubt it, you don’t know what’s inside, so you can’t give it a big shock.

It may contain papers that are easily damaged, or even mechanical engineering supplies that use a lot of sensitive parts.

“Hmm… Can’t you just break the lock a little more delicately… I think it’s still too much for me to respond to my magic…”

– Crisp.

At that moment, a small impact was applied to the lock part of the drawer. There is hardly any change from the outside, but it feels as if only the hinge connecting the internal locking device was selected and broken.

In fact, when I gently pulled the drawer, it opened more smoothly than I expected.

“…What?”

As I turned around, Lucy, who was lying on the bed, changed her posture.

It looked like he was lying on his back without thinking, but on the other hand, he was steadily conscious of me.

it’s definitely bold Once I went with Lucy, it seemed that there would never be a sudden death.

After I said thank you, I pulled the drawer all the way out and opened it.

Inside… a huge pile of letters was piled up.

I wanted to do something about it, so I took out a bundle and put it on the desk. All letters are handwritten by Ed.

“This is… what…”

It seemed like it would take some time to read them all. Still, I needed to at least figure out what the letters were.

I took out a letter from the top and read it roughly from top to bottom. Of all the letters in this bundle, it seemed to be the most recent.

– ‘To Arwen, who is close and respectful.’

He took a breath and rubbed his chin. It is unavoidable to be confused.

This is… completely unknown to me… about the character of Ed Roth Taylor.

＜ Failed Sword Castle of Sylvania >

A third-rate villain who exits from Act 1, Scene 1. It is the story of that stupid bastard who is excommunicated for framing the main character, Taylor McLaure, in vain vanity.

– ‘If I go on like this, I will die soon.’

– ‘What is the meaning of life that must die anyway.’

– ‘What value can you give to a life that is just waiting for the promised death?’

– ‘The life of being drunk with Roth Taylor’s glory was short, but now I’m going to finish it all.’

– ‘You may not be able to reply to this letter anymore. Then, I will find my own way.’

– ‘I can’t make a choice like your sister.’

– ‘My journey as a member of the Roth Taylor family ends here, but my life doesn’t.’

As I read through the fragmentary contents… I quietly held my breath and put the letter down.

And I turned the bundles of letters on one side and looked at them again.

These are the letters Arwen and Ed exchanged with each other while they were alive. This amount would have been enough to give and take a few years.

As I unfolded the papers like that, a feather fell from between them and landed on the desk.

“This is… a quill… no. Is it just a feather?”

Picking up the feather, I grabbed the tail and flipped it around. It was a feather engraved with a mysterious red pattern.

I don’t know how to use it right now. I put the feather down next to the desk, looked at the paperwork and took a deep breath.

First of all, it seems that I have something to do whenever I have time.

I had to stuff all these massive letters into my head.

* Crepin Rothtailer was holding a letter with the seal of Princess Fenia.

Seeing that no sealing measures were taken on the letter, Selah, Princess of Frost, swallowed dry saliva.

Is it that Crepin Rothtailer, the head of the imperial family, is already attached to the side of Princess Penia?

Otherwise, there would be no way to receive an unsealed letter. That letter literally symbolizes total trust.

“You seem to have misunderstood.”

A luxurious breakfast spot in the early morning.

Selaha, who visited the Roth Taylor estate, was treated with great hospitality.

She exchanged light conversations with Crepin, but her gaze did not move away from the letter in Crepin’s hand.

The sharp crepin seemed to have pinpointed what Selaha was thinking.

“An unsealed letter does not symbolize trust in the recipient…but it symbolizes trust in the sender of this letter.”

That’s right. It was a rare misunderstanding for a Selah.

Crepin smiled and put the letter she was reading back into her arms.

“I think Princess Selaha must be wondering who delivered this letter.”

Before all the celebrities gathered from all over the world, the Duchy of Los Taylor was… there was a strange current like the eve of a storm.

There was only one day left of the massive social church that was only once a year.
