112 – 24. The secret power behind the prince
I just decided not to go.
‘Honestly, I don’t necessarily have to go this time.’
It is true that we must go to the Korean Empire. There are a lot of things to take care of in the Korean Empire, such as the emperor, my past actions, and the princess’s character events.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean I have to go this time.

Honestly, I was thinking of going as a side dish since it’s Chuseok, so there’s no problem if I go later!
‘The princess’s character event is still due.’
To be exact, it’s ‘???’, But since there hasn’t been any change in the princess so far, it’s clear that there’s still quite a bit left.
When you enter the character event, you have to deal with the princess who cannot control
The whole time.
‘The emperor gets caught, but whatever.’
If I stay inside the Romance Academy, no one, including the Emperor of the Korean Empire, will be able to touch me.
Ah, of course, it would be a different story if you made up your mind to come…… The emperor of a country suddenly visits the Romance Academy during a national holiday? Beyond making no sense, this is a comedy.
More than anything, to be honest.
“It feels good to rest.”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t that right?”
“…That’s right.”
Romance Academy will also be closed for three days to celebrate Chuseok.
Of course, it was safe to say that few students would remain at the academy on a holiday like this. Most of them went to their hometowns to rest or to East Asia.
In other words, the academy is quiet for the first time in a while.
Relax quietly with friends without being busy…… Hmm………
‘…… Now that I think about it, I think I rested a lot.’
Even though you had a hard time during vacation, you rested well for a month at Rio’s resort afterward, right?
Even after the semester started, it was a peaceful day, except for the kidnapping incident.
Huh? Now that I think about it, isn’t I just sucking it up?
If this happens, I’ll feel sorry for Rio and Lane.
“I guess I sent it for no reason.”
“…You mean a wealthy person and a person with superpowers?”
“Yes. If I had known it would be like this, I would have stayed at the academy together…”
I told the prince that I was sorry, but I couldn’t go with him, and persuaded the warrior and the saint, Lucas, Liu, and Rain, to take his place, although it was hard to call them his.
At first, he was taken aback by the news of my absence, but when he heard that the member was going instead, he immediately called me.
‘Honestly, I like me too.’
The prince said he would like me to go with him, but to be honest, there is nothing I can do in the Korean Empire.
I have the position of being an academy student, and I was able to stand as Lane’s representative in Europe, but in the Korean Empire, I was insignificant.
Unlike Arthur, who was the de facto ruler of Europe but was only a family member and not a monarch, so he did not have to worry too much about his external reputation, the Korean Empire was extremely concerned about its external image.
Especially because the United States was half ruined due to the Gate incident and it was the Korean Empire that rose to become a superpower.
Even just thinking of Amman, it is a gukppong setting, so I wonder why Jisoo chose that setting……
‘Anyway, there’s nothing I can do.’
It was a long story, but to put it simply, it means that the prince or princess cannot present me as their agent or something like they did in Europe.
Then what am I?
He is just a
Fortune teller from the common people.
This is because it is difficult to enter the imperial castle in the first place.
But instead of me, who is so ambiguous, he returns saying that he is a classmate of special VIPs who can properly establish the prince’s political position?
It will be much more helpful than me.
However, it feels a bit like I’m comfortable alone.
“……I think it was a good choice.”
“Aileen?”
“The rich and the super-powered are the highest class, different from ‘us’, so it would be a great blessing to take this opportunity to visit the royal family of the Korean Empire. ‘We’ think it’s better for ‘us’ to be among ‘us’!”
“Hmm… Of course, right?”
Well, compared to me, who is just a commoner, and Eileen, who is also an instructor’s daughter, ultimately Liu and Lane are in a position where they have to worry about their public image.
After listening to the saint’s advice, the guilt of thinking I was the only one having fun disappeared!
“Would you like another cup of coffee?”
“Ah, yes.”
“How about having a drink and taking a short walk? There’s a bakery with a nice atmosphere over there on the hill.”
“…Yes!”
Yes, this is a win-win.
I gave it to the prince just in case, so I don’t think anything bad will happen.
What could possibly be going on?
*
“You’re screwed.”
“Brother, speak.”
“I became a dick.”
“Ugh….”
The prince, who was seriously thinking while sitting in the royal limousine, soon came to a conclusion.
Things are going very sh*tty.
“What did His Majesty say?”
“…This is the third time I’ve asked the same question. Since it’s the Chuseok holiday, I was told to tour each region and have a conversation.”
“What is the size of this Korean Empire?”
“……Even if you take the royal road, it would take more than a day just to go around it.”
“That’s the problem, damn it!”
Boom.
The prince lowered his armrest and gritted his teeth without even holding back his anger.
‘This is very blatantly rude treatment.’
The prince has returned. It means that I, Kim Seong-il, the next emperor, have returned.
Of course, I stayed in the Korean Empire during vacation, but returning for a holiday like Chuseok is a different story.
But as a prince, travel around the provinces and celebrate holidays?
The cause is very good, but it’s exasperating to think that you have to stay for hours to congratulate each place you visit.
Based on simple calculations, it was obvious that even if I visited a lot until Chuseok was over, I would not be able to visit even half of the places.
But instead of letting them into the imperial family, they order a tour right from the airport?
Even that.
“…Other people.”
“They’re following behind.”
“What on earth are you thinking…?”
This includes warriors, saints, wealthy individuals, psychics, and even magicians who came as VIPs.
Okay, let’s make a hundred concessions and say that the poor treatment he is receiving is a political check.
But what’s wrong with sending VIPs from other countries on a regional tour?
This is how you treat the sons and daughters of the Arthur family, the spiritual pillar of the fallen but still powerful nation, the saint of 2 billion Christians, the world’s richest man?
Of course, it is a diplomatic disrespect that will cause complaints from other countries.
Kim Seong-il could not believe that his father had made such a foolish decision.
“…Are you at least senile?”
“Brother.”
“Eunha, that is rather normal. The Korean Empire is a strong country, but it is not a country that can turn the entire world into an enemy.”
“……….”
“If my father had really become senile at a time when the imperial power was powerful enough to oppress the National Assembly…”
The Korean Empire is a constitutional monarchy. The imperial family exists and the emperor exists, but he cannot decide everything.
…… To be more precise, there was ‘nothing’.
In fact, the current Korean Empire was no different from a despotic state.
And the person who created such a powerful imperial power was his father, who was suspected of seeing the future.
He is a political nemesis, but at the same time, he is someone we cannot help but respect as a member of the imperial family.
How can he make such a decision?
Is this really true of my father, who never put any effort into politics?
“…There was no word from the faction.”
“There was no purge within the imperial family, and my brother and I still have the same power.”
“What is the atmosphere of the imperial family?”
“Of course it’s chaos. The car that was driving with the imperial city as its destination just now is going into the outskirts of the capital, right?”
“So…Are you really going to fight from the front?”
Using Kim Ha-neul as a puppet to attack Daeboo and Namgoong Min── is really unpleasant, but it is at the level of a check.
In the end, I didn’t mess with the prince, nor did I mess with his power.
However, even though the prince returned for Chuseok, if he only toured the provinces.
There is no room for any other interpretation.
“Turn the car…”
“Brother, no way…”
“I’m going to the imperial castle. I’m angry about other things too… But I can’t let my friends get caught up in such childish maneuvers.”
At those words, Princess Kim Eun-ha sensed her true intentions and only let out a sigh.
There is really no way the prince would consider his classmates in the special occupation class as ‘friends.’ If there is one, it would be Namgoong Min.
To the prince, they are nothing more than ‘the highest class with whom one can interact politically and socially.’
Still, why bother mentioning him as a friend and telling him to turn the car around.
‘It’s a cause.’
The justification is that it is okay to treat friends who are brought here as VIPs.
It is an obvious justification, but it is effective, and I was curious about my father’s intention to give such an easy and clear justification.
No matter what happens to her, she has nothing to say as she has withdrawn from the race for the throne.
At that time when she was preparing for a conflict between her father and brother.
The prince, who was shouting in an angry voice, rummaged through her pockets as if he realized something.
“Wait a minute…”
“………?”
“Now that I think about it, there was a note that Namgoong Min gave me.”
…… Note?
I understand the note, but what use is it in this situation?
Kim Eun-ha, who was doubtful for a moment, then looked at the prince who took out a note from her pocket and unfolded it.
And.
“……………….”
“Come…Bunny?”
“……I guess I’ll have to cancel turning the car around.’
“Yes?”
What does this mean all of a sudden?
Kim Eun-ha asked as if she was dumbfounded by the prince’s sudden change in attitude.
But the prince only handed over a note that he read quietly.
“Is this…?”
“The note Namgoong Min gave me. Read it.”
If you read it, you won’t know what’s written on this note──
Hello, Prince. First of all, I would like to apologize again. Please forgive me for saying I would go with you and then backtracking.
Whatever it may be, I would like to leave a small piece of advice for the prince.
1. It’s my limited insight, but if the Crown Prince returns to the Korean Empire, His Majesty the Emperor will probably take several actions.
You can either act as if nothing happened, come out shamelessly, or even try to fight with the prince.
If you act as if nothing happened, read the response methods on pages 4 to 15, and if you find a good one, go to the appendix page and implement it.
If you want to be shameless, it’s pages 16 to 38, if you want to fight the prince, it’s pages 39 to 67.
Other responses are written on pages 67 to 70, and pages 70 to 302 are appendices with detailed methods.
2. This note was written as an artifact of Mr. Liu. It may look like a small note, but if you tell the page you want, the contents of that page will automatically appear. If you feel you no longer need it, please return it to Mr. Liu.
3. From here to page 3, I will write down the speaking methods I often use. To be honest, I don’t think my advice will be of much help as it is something anyone can do, but please consider my apology to the prince.
First of all, when speaking in front of people, you should smile confidently, use appropriate body movements, and especially mix your accent with your words……… ＞
“……What is this?”
“What is it?”
The prince, who had lost his anger and started laughing in a somewhat relaxed manner, crossed his legs.
“He’s our reliable bag of tricks.”
“Oh my god………….”
“Okay then, first of all.”
The prince, who received the note back from the astonished Kim Eun-ha, carefully read the specific page she had been paying attention to before, and then she nodded.
Originally, he had several methods in mind.
What was written in Namgoong Min’s note…… Because most of them were unconventional in many ways.
First of all, since that person did something incomprehensible, it would be natural to repay them in kind.
For that, the first thing.
“Let’s start off hot.”
I needed a younger sister who was extremely strong.
“Don’t you think you’ve gained weight these days?”
“……………….”
That too, my sister was really upset.
*
“…What is this?”
“Your Majesty! It is said that Prince Kim Seong-il was seriously injured in an attack of unknown origin while he was on the move!”
“The doctors at the scene say the condition is so serious that they cannot do anything about it…”
“We must bring him to the imperial castle and treat him!”
“Fortunately, the princess and the guests were not injured, but she is said to be complaining of mental pain!”
“It was strange that it was a local tour in the first place! At least the VIPs should have been let into the imperial castle…!!”
“Your Majesty’s presence! Be quiet!”
“First of all, personal protection must be considered more important than public sentiment through local tours!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty! Please give orders quickly!!”
“………Do that.”
The emperor, who was listening to an urgent report, made a decision without showing it on the outside.
…… It felt like things were getting more and more complicated, but it wasn’t ruined yet.
Since the overriding goal has failed, the plan to break the prince’s will must succeed.
Plapdeuk.
Prince, you may have succeeded in entering the palace with an absurd lie that you were attacked by someone.
Since he made the excuse that his condition was serious, he couldn’t make any moves to protect that lie.
The emperor’s eyes lit up.
The eyes seemed to be mocking the son who chose to kill himself.
It was that afternoon that the prince came in in a wheelchair.
“It really hurts….”
“……………….”
The prince with bandages all over his body and the emperor glaring at him as if he were dumbfounded.
Reuniting with my son was the worst.
Lol prince you got balls calling her fat
