139 – 29. Cat Fight (Physics)
“Is that really enough?”
“…Prince, no matter how much you call it the imperial treasure…”
“When I think of what you have done for me, I am in tears. Besides, I couldn’t even keep my promise.”
Inside the private plane returning to the academy.
This is the end of my trip to the Korean Empire, which took about a week.
In fact, the actual work was completed in one day, and the remaining six days were for the prince to clean up the interior.
I had been resting well for a while, so I was killing time by sitting next to the prince, who had now become crown prince, and chatting.
“I never thought His Majesty would be so unreasonable there.”
“You definitely didn’t get paid for that, right?”
“Yes, I received it. Both you and I received more than we deserved. Imperial treasures, money, political support, unification of power…At least to the extent that His Majesty could not reject me or cut me off.”
“Then it will be okay.”
“…If you want to talk to His Majesty, do so at any time. I will definitely make time for you.”
“Thank you for your kindness.”
Kim Seong-il seemed extremely angry at being forced by the emperor to not grant my request.
Well, what I asked for instead of making him emperor was a conversation with the emperor, but that conversation ended in vain.
After I left the office, I heard that he was enraged after hearing the situation and went to the emperor and argued with him for a long time.
Rather, the emperor reacted as if he had expected such a reaction and handed over all of the angry prince’s demands.
Kim Seong-il seemed very reluctant about his father’s declaration of surrender.
“The Majesty I know is not that kind of person.”
“Is that so?”
“He is the emperor who raised the imperial authority to a level close to absolute power in a constitutional monarchy. As a father…Even if he is not good, as a successor, he is an emperor worth respecting.”
“……….”
“I don’t mean to disparage your efforts, but I feel uneasy about winning so easily… Do you think I’m suffering from a suspicious disease?”
“No way. Absolutely not.”
Yes, the emperor is hiding something he is reluctant about.
Looking at the prince’s reaction during the surprise attack, he clearly seemed angry at the moment of defeat, but after that, his behavior was overly cooperative and calm.
‘He even knew what I was going to ask.’
What is the secret he is hiding that makes him accept that it will reduce his position and faction?
‘The emperor knows more than we think.’
Something about another me, about a being made of cracks, and about me.
Above all, even about indices.
There are still secrets that I intentionally did not tell you about.
“……………….”
“Nam Goong Min?”
“…I guess I’ll have to set a trap.”
“Trap?”
Well, in exchange for hearing the secret, I took care of many things.
The emperor became the crown prince, and with the cooperation of the emperor, absorbed his imperial faction and oppressors into his own power without much opposition.
And I took enough money to repay all the debt I owed to Liu, as well as imperial treasures that money could not buy.

“…I didn’t think you would give me that.”
“Do you have any spares in the imperial family?”
“That can’t be right. It’s a one-of-a-kind artifact brought from beyond the gate and a second life. Use it with care.”
“…Thank you for your consideration.”
“What is consideration?”
Fountain pen with black ink design, .
Contrary to its somewhat cheesy name, it is an artifact that brings people back from the dead.
It was an artifact that was useful in games where there were high-difficulty battles.
However, the flaw was that it could only be obtained after raising the favorability rating of Prince Kim Seong-il, the main target of the attack, to ‘lifetime partner’ and then making him the emperor.
‘I get that at this point.’
The five greatest treasures of the imperial family…… No, Has gone to the goal and is now the most rare treasure among the four major treasures.
Of course, it was something the emperor always carried with him, and honestly, I didn’t think he would give me this either.
I was surprised that he gave it to me more willingly than I expected.
The prince, who would later inherit it, showed no sign of opposition and just smiled and told me to take it, so I took it, thinking it was a good idea.
…… It would be better to not have to use it as much as possible, but you never know.
If I were to be honest about what I experienced this time, I would have ended up in the nether world.
Well, since it is also a fountain pen, it can be used well on a daily basis.
After playing with For a while, I opened my mouth to a question that suddenly occurred to me.
“By the way, prince.”
“What’s going on?”
“Why did the princess die three days early? She could have just gone back today.”
“……………….”
“Prince?”
“…I sometimes envy your wit…Because sometimes ignorance is bliss…”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing. I can barely see the academy now.”
Leaving Kim Seong-il’s lament behind.
I looked out the window of the private plane at the sky city that was slowly starting to come into view.
Returning to the academy in a week, it’s practically my home now…… Is………
“……Huh?”
What, why is there smoke rising from everywhere?
What is it?
“Prince? Is the academy being attacked by an unidentified group or something like that…?”
“That won’t happen, and there is no such thing as an unidentified group, so don’t worry. I have some guesses.”
“Yes?”
Is it still booming? Are students gathering in groups and fighting?
What’s going on at the academy…… ?
*
3 Days before Kim Seong-il and Namgoong Min returned to the academy.
The first thing Kim Eun-ha did when she returned to the academy was.
“Hello everyone?”
“……………….”
“Yes, princess.”
“Unbeliever.”
Liu Yen, Lane Arthur, Eileen Teddy Bear, and Eunha Kim.
Nationalities, statuses, and personalities are all different.
We gathered people who have one thing in common.
‘I knew about Liu Yan and Rain Arthur a long time ago, but I never thought the Teddy Bear instructor’s daughter was also involved.’
If you think about it, Kim Eunha had the least amount of contact with Namgoong Min.
Although she had important matters such as assassination threats or solving murder cases, she did not meet Nam Goong Min much during normal times.
It was because of her status as the princess of the Korean Empire, and because Namgoong Min seemed to avoid her.
Until now, she had not noticed her feelings for Namgoong Min, so she was content with that distance.
Now, it was my turn to support her as the wife of a fortune teller, both legally and on paper.
“Actually, we got together like this, but our relationship is not good, right?”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“……….”
Liu and Rain, who had originally known each other but were not close friends, of course, were not in a good mood either, and Eileen Teddy Bear was also not in a good mood.
Looking at the people gathered together, it was clear who they had in common.
That’s why Eileen maintained a crooked attitude even to the princess, who was her first acquaintance and member of the royal family.
Kim Eun-ha looked around at the three fire foxes and smiled.
“I’ll tell you first.”
Ugh.
Kim Eun-ha took out a document envelope from her bosom and unfolded the contents inside.
And.
Boom!
“…Are you kidding me?”
As soon as the writing on the document caught his eye, Liu was the first to get up from his seat.
A document with ‘Marriage Registration’ written on it fluttered, and Liu’s burning gaze pierced Kim Eun-ha.
Liu, gritting his teeth as if he was truly annoyed, approached Kim Eun-ha with his hands in her pockets.
“I heard that something happened in the Korean Empire where the fortuneteller went in the past few days.”
“So?”
“It’s not a rip-off like this. How dare you try to steal Liu Yan’s boyfriend?”
Kwasik.
Liu growled as he took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed it exactly into the ‘Kim Eun-ha’ part of the marriage certificate.
Liu Yan is using all kinds of means to spy on Nam Goong Min and take pictures. Therefore, she was also the first person to hear that the princess seemed to be starting to have a rational crush on Namgoong Min.
But I never thought I would immediately take the plunge into marriage.
Rain sighed as he looked at Liu and Kim Eun-ha, who were glaring at each other as if they were going to kill each other.
“I didn’t want to say this, but… You two are ugly.”
“You evil b*tch, what?”
“…Rain Arthur. You should be careful what you say.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“The princess and the suspected illness patient should be careful about what they say. Namgoong Min is neither the girlfriend of a wealthy man nor the princess’s husband. Did she get his consent?”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“If things continue like this, I feel like I’m going to rape Namgoong Min and tell him to take responsibility. Is it because of how you feel?”
Did you think it made sense, or did you hit the nail on the head?
Liu, who was silent at Lane’s mocking words, sat down and Kim Eun-ha calmed down a little.
Eileen, who was watching the three crazy girls arguing as always (?), Opened her mouth.
“It’s always the non-believers who come out. It’s so funny to see them.”
“…Hey, there’s a limit to what I can endure. If I lift a finger, I could ruin your house?”
“Try it. If you can handle the fallout from Namgoong Min.”
“This b*tch…”
“Just as you all have a friend, Namgoong Min is my friend.”
“You are so arrogant.”
“Are you the only one who kicked that person’s confession?”
“……………….”
The gazes of the four people become intertwined.
Negative gazes containing anger, hatred, jealousy, and murderous intent pierce each other.
Meanwhile, Kim Eun-ha, who was looking at the fire foxes with eyes filled with
, Soon raised the corner of her mouth.
It was a smile I learned from a fortune teller.
“…Like this, our thoughts on our people are all conflicting. Aren’t they?”
“……Our people?”
“It’s a somewhat affectionate title. In the Korean Empire, couples call each other by their first names only, without their last names. Even if you’re dissatisfied, please bear with it.”
“Ha.”
“……Princess, if you come out like this, I can’t respect you either.”
“Oh, I’ll be careful about that. It’s not a good thing to be hostile to Arthur, who is more professional than anyone else when it comes to marriage.”
“……….”
“Unbeliever.”
“Even though this is your first meeting, you are speaking harshly. Don’t even dream of coming to the Korean Empire.”
“These days, non-believers are funny because they say funny things.”
“Does this sound like a joke?”
“Then. Except for Namgoong Min, everyone else is there.”
“……………….”
Kim Eun-ha seemed to have noticed that Eileen was not in a good mood and narrowed her eyes.
However, she closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them, and before she knew it, she was smiling.
“We only talked for a moment, but you all felt it, right? We… Don’t really seem like we’re going to get along.”
“……….”
“……………….”
“…….”
“And coincidentally, I’m looking at a fortune teller.”
“Unbeliever, what do you want to say?”
“Coexistence.”
“……What?”
“Is it really possible for us to coexist?”
With those words, the rich man, the psychic, and the saint were able to realize the reason why that arrogant princess had gathered everyone in one place.
Suddenly gathering together his enemies and spewing out gossip and harsh words.
Acting as if nothing will happen.
All for that one word.
It was to ask about ‘coexistence’.
And as expected.
The three people’s answers were immediate.
“Get out.”
Liu Yan pulls out the dagger that was inserted in the marriage certificate and holds it.
“I decline.”
Rain Artur emits telekinetic power that can be seen with the naked eye and distorts the surroundings.
“Why are you asking that?”
Aileen Teddy Bear just clenches her fists, but it seems as if some divine power is flowing through her.
“Is that so?”
Lastly, Kim Eun-ha, who looked like she wasn’t even expecting it when she asked.
The women, somehow misaligned and twisted, glared at each other’s necks.
At this point, I wonder if only strange women fall for Namgoong Min, or if she has to twist something to be able to endure here.
Rain opened his mouth first in an atmosphere where it seemed as if a bloody fight was imminent.
“Then, princess.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Did you call me with the intention of striking and fighting from now on? I’m afraid…”
“Of course we can’t fight in front of our people. I have an idea.”
The moment when Raine raised her eyebrows in displeasure at being called ‘our min’ again.
Kim Eun-ha took out another document and spread it out in front of everyone.
“…This.”
“I’ve seen documents like this on my dad’s desk.”
“Surprising test content… Oh my god, it looks like the royal family of the Korean Empire can get an idea of what kind of test there will be in advance?”
“Don’t misunderstand, this is what I requested.”
Does not count toward grades. It does not give you an advantage in future tests.
A surprise event where you can hit and fight each other with just a ‘light’ prize at stake.
In the sense that it can relieve the gas of first-year students entering the second semester, we have already accepted in advance what the academy is promoting, which has recently become more student-friendly.
“I just received it in advance so that it will all be sprinkled this evening anyway.”
“Ha! If I give you some money, the midterm exam content will come out right? Power is good, right?”
“It was really nice. Is it possible to get married without the parties knowing?”
“…f*ck you.”
“I think the same goes for both parties, so I’ll exclude what I just said as a diplomatic insult. Anyway, do you see the point of this surprise event?”
That means that this event will be divided into 4 teams.
First graders are randomly divided into 4 teams and fight each other, eliminating each other’s team.
The test site is located in the northern part of the academy, where there are the fewest people, in the city area facing the mountain.
And.
“The four of us are all on different teams.”
“…I finally understand.”
“But non-believers, of course I will win… But will the non-believers here really give up on Namgoong Min?”
“Giving up? That’s absurd. Right now, I have no intention of giving up on my people until a knife is stuck in my throat.”
“……………….”
“Have you seen what the first prize is?”
“What? 1St place prize… Such crazy?”
4Th place prize, one wet tissue.
3Rd place prize, 1 box of wet tissues.
Second prize, 10 boxes of wet tissues.
Amidst the feast of wet tissues that appear to have been roughly filled at a glance.
The first prize is.
“A 2-day, 1-night travel gift certificate for two people…? You’re giving this away to a quarter of the academy’s first-year students?”
“For those of you here, a travel voucher like this would be just a piece of paper… But this is a really good cause, right? What if we make a pact between us as a bonus… And don’t interfere with each other’s travel?”
“That’s…”
“Huh? Eileen, are you really scared?”
I am going on a trip with a 2-day and 1-night gift certificate given at a surprise event.
An opportunity to approach Namgoong Min with a very natural and perfect cause.
You could just recommend going on a trip, but it’s obvious that Lane and Kim Eun-ha will get in the way, just like Liu did.
Even if I lose here, I will never give up on Namgoong Min.
But the fact is that I have to watch another b*tch go on a trip with Namgoong Min.
Everyone who understood that gritted their teeth.
It was the beginning of a cat fight (physics) that did not even consider coexistence.
