I Became a Fortune Teller in a Game My Sister Made chapter 57

57 – 12. There is a fortune teller behind the election

Prince Kim Seong-il runs for the student council president election.

The news spread quickly among first graders.

“…Is that real?”

“Is it true? The rumor has already spread.”

Just one day. The rumor spread at an unprecedented speed on the day he decided to run for office, causing an uproar among first-year students.

Thanks to that, the first graders realized two things.

“More than that, did you know there was an election?”

“No? It was absurd when I first heard it. So I thought first graders couldn’t vote, but that’s not true?”

“This damn academy…”

The first is that I have finally learned of the existence of elections.

The gossip about the prince running for student council president was on the lips of many first-year students, making them aware of the existence of the student council president election.

Naturally, information such as when, where, and how to vote, and who the other candidates were, began to circulate, and most public opinion was supporting the prince.

I supported the prince, who seemed more friendly in many ways than the two seniors I didn’t know well, and unlike the third-year students who seemed a bit distant, the fact that we were both first-year students probably also played a role.

“Then did you hear that too?”

“What?”

“Senior Lily Whiterose. You know, right?”

“Of course I know! He’s the senior who appeared on the admissions poster.”

“I heard that that senior, like the prince, ran for office as a freshman and served as student council president for two years? He’s a nice guy and has a good reputation.”

“Well, I think it’s right for seniors to be the student council presidents…”

And the second is about the existing student council president, Lily Whiterose.

Lily Whiterose, who appeared in all kinds of promotional materials such as admissions posters and academy explanation videos as the existing student council president, was a celebrity that no one would know.

However, the problem was that most people only knew that she was a pretty senior, but did not know what kind of person Lily White Rose was.

The student council president election was in high demand due to the prince, and friendly rumors began to circulate about Lily Whiterose, who had performed an excellent(?) Job as student council president.

Friendly rumors about Kim Seong-il’s candidacy and Lily.

It all spread too quickly and deliberately, but no first-year student paid any attention to that fact.

There was no ‘first grade’.

“I will give up running for office.”

“…It’s fast.”

The prince who welcomed the guest answered with his legs crossed in a somewhat arrogant posture.

And the guest sitting across from him, the royal family Kim Ha-neul, was bowing his head in a polite posture.

“If I had known that His Majesty the Prince would come out, I would not have run for office.”

“It sounds like you’re asking why you’re running for office now.”

“I absolutely did not mean that! As a member of the Korean Empire’s imperial family, I also ran to raise the honor of the imperial family!”

“……Hmm.”

Although Kim Ha-neul was a few years older than Kim Seong-il, she trembled at his every word and maintained thorough manners.

Kim Seong-il, the next emperor of the Korean Empire and his only legitimate son.

Kim Ha-neul, the sixth concubine among more than ten concubines.

Even though the status of the two was as different as heaven and earth, there was no exaggeration.

This was the reason why, even though she was a member of the royal family, as soon as she made a mistake, the prince’s associates treated her with contempt.

The prince took a mouthful of the prepared high-quality coffee and quietly put down the cup.

“But I’m glad you were quick to notice.”

“It’s an honor!”

“You know what to do next, right?”

“In three days, I will announce that I am resigning due to personal problems!”

“Yes, it is right not to create any room for conflict, even if only nominally.”

The reason why Kim Ha-neul announced his intention to resign is simple.

Kim Seong-il, the next emperor, said he would be her student council president, but she, who was of the same royal family as no one else, should not have become her competitor.

What if I continue to run for office? It was obvious what kind of ending the royal family would meet outside of the eyes of the next emperor.

As soon as the rumor spread and it was confirmed to be true, it was perhaps natural for Kim Ha-neul to respond by visiting Kim Seong-il.

In addition, if you do not resign immediately or properly disclose the reason for your resignation, it may be seen as obvious pressure from the prince, so take some time before making the announcement.

In fact, the prince’s pressure was correct, but to others who knew the situation, it was viewed as nothing more than an attempt to discipline the royal family.

“Then, go.”

“……Um, His Highness the Prince.”

“I told you to go?”

“I’m sorry, but I ask you to listen to just one word!”

Crash.

Aides surround Kim Ha-neul, who disobeys the prince’s words and bows his head.

They were allowed to possess weapons in the name of protecting Kim Seong-il, so they aimed blades and cold weapons.

Because the opponent is actually a member of the royal family of the Korean Empire, and they are in a position where they could possibly target the next emperor, they overreact.

Actually, if you think about it that way, the person you need to be most wary of is Princess Kim Eun-man.

After the last assassination threat, Kim Seong-il personally ordered not to touch the princess, so his aides were wary of other royal family members.

“Prince, is it okay if I arrest you?”

“……That’s it. Let’s hear a word.”

“Thank you for the grace of His Majesty the Prince!”

Kim Ha-neul remains, refusing the prince’s order to welcome guests.

Even amidst the stern gazes of her aides, she looked at the prince with her burning eyes.

What are the emotions contained within it?

The prince didn’t bother to find out. Because I already heard it.

“If, really, if His Majesty the Prince resigns… I would like to be allowed to run again.”

“I am resigning from the student council president election?”

“Of course, this is an assumption. Unlike a young woman like me, Her Majesty must have a lot of work to do. The position of student council president is only superficial, so there is a lot of work to be done.”

“Are you saying this because you’re worried about me?”

“That’s right. If something like that happens, I will step up on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince and raise the honor of the Imperial Family of the Korean Empire, even if it is infinitely weak!”

“Hmm…”

What should I do?

Honestly, the prince didn’t really care either way.

Because that was outside the scope of the deal with Namgoong Min.

‘No, it would be right to give priority to Namgoong Min this time.’

Although the prince himself has great favor towards Namgoong Min, he cannot express his personal opinion when it comes to matters within the imperial family.

However, there is one reason why I decided to take Namgoong Min’s side rather than Kim Ha-neul.

It was because of her attitude.

‘I have something to hide.’

Of course, I’m not saying that she was arrogant for breaking the order to welcome guests.

What the prince suspected was Kim Ha-neul’s true intentions.

This is why I am running for the student council president election.

‘Kim Ha-neul has lived without any major problems for the past two years. She’s not the focal point of third grade, and she’s not as active as that guy in second grade. Nevertheless, she is now aiming for the student council president…….’

The prince himself has no hard feelings towards Kim Ha-neul. She doesn’t have any political reason to bully her like this.

However, the information provided by Namgoong Min made him suspicious of Kim Ha-neul’s intentions.

Thanks to Namgoong Min’s advice, we have already completed the investigation into Kim Ha-neul’s ‘dog’.

“Not permitted.”

“Ah… I understand.”

“Oh, and I heard you recently picked up a dog.”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“It would be excessive to interfere with that. However, please do not do anything that will tarnish our status as members of the royal family.”

“I understand!”

“Above all, don’t get caught by the . She’s uncomfortable even from the imperial family’s point of view.”

“I’ll keep this in mind!”

“Yes.”

Even though her desperate request was rejected, Kim Ha-neul bowed politely and left the room.

Honestly, I wouldn’t care if they had that gambling addict as their subordinate or not, as long as they properly listed and reported it.

…… Kim Ha-neul has a secret plan.

‘The investigation was complicated due to the recent liquidation of close associates.’

The changed aides were also capable people, but since this was an opportunity to change the entire faction, there was a time when monitoring of other royal family members was neglected.

Coincidentally, it was at that time that Kim Ha-neul recruited ‘Dog’.

If Namgoong Min hadn’t told me, he wouldn’t have known about the existence of ‘dog’.

A mere young woman unofficially takes on a job holder as her subordinate without even reporting to him.

It was an unacceptable behavior in the imperial family, which was most concerned about a coup by the armed forces of a small number of people who held jobs, and Kim Ha-neul was well aware of this.

If it wasn’t for Namgoong Min’s request for information, she would have done it a long time ago.

‘…… Come to think of it, I heard that Eunha also accepted Namgoong Min’s request.’

Did you say bonuses were given to all workers at the airport?

I don’t mind because it’s not a lot of money anyway, but it was hard to hold back from laughing inadvertently.

“It’s like being a prince and a princess at the same time.”

“Prince?”

“It’s done. Please bring me another cup of coffee.”

“Yes!”

Nam Goong Min.

I had no idea that I would feel this much affection for the , Whom I had only met for a little over two months.

Not to mention the prince and the princess.

‘No, it’s not just us.’

All the students in the special vocational class he attends are keeping an eye on Namgoong Min.

When Eunha first made a fuss about recruiting people to the imperial family, I thought it was like that, but now Kim Seong-il himself is in a position to suggest scouting.

‘Perhaps it would be good as a beneficiary of the galaxy.’

If you say it in front of Eunha, you will probably be beaten to the point of death.

The prince thought deep down that his sister and Namgoong Min would get along well.

As my younger brother has a painful past, I wanted to at least get him married to someone he wanted.

…… There would be no point in worrying about this alone.

“Well, that’s it.”

The prince put down her cup.

This concludes the transaction with Namgoong Min. Now, after 4 days, she will resign for good measure and it will be completely over.

Giving up on candidacy after just 5 days may be a bit of a blow to your image and authority.

A good reason was prepared for his resignation, and the prince himself gained more than anything else.

‘Good to see the love story.’

Dating someone you fell in love with at first sight was also a sweet opportunity for the next emperor.

*

Honestly, when I first thought of this solution, I thought I was crazy.

Even now that I think about it, it seems crazy.

“Prince Kim Seong-il really likes Chairman Lily…?”

“I heard from the princess that she fell in love at first sight.”

“Oh my god, how have you no eyes for women…?”

Samuel Lipson lamented sincerely.

He also joined the student council after only seeing Lily’s appearance, but as a senior who realized her true nature after only two days, he had a lot to say to the prince.

If you gain something, you also lose something.

Samuel lamented that he had to sacrifice the love of one male student for a second term as student council president.

“…Anyway, this solves the problem.”

“Now all you have to do is wait.”

I heard from the prince that Kim Ha-neul will announce her resignation tomorrow, so all that’s left is really to just wait.

Kim Seong-il will also resign after Kim Ha-neul resigns, using the excuse of educating the next emperor, so there is only one candidate left.

Lily Whiterose’s reappointment as student council president is confirmed.

“Hmm…”

“Senior Samuel?”

“But this… Is ultimately just a stopgap measure. Kim Ha-neul will run again next semester…”

“Well, I guess so.”

As he said, Kim Ha-neul only resigned as an over-sized irregular named Prince Kim Seong-il, but did not defeat his goal of becoming the student council president.

But it wasn’t Namgoong Min’s business to worry about who would be the student council president next semester.

Rather, there is important information obtained through this opportunity.

‘…… Kim Ha-neul.’

This is a name that never appeared in the game.

Well, if you think about it that way, I probably know less than 10% of the students, but she is a member of the royal family.

Considering that the second-year royal family plays a key role in many large-scale events, it is clearly strange that Kim Ha-neul has no presence at all despite being a royal family member.

To begin with, the only third grader whose name I knew was Lily Whiterose, and I didn’t know any of the others and they didn’t appear in the game.

‘It’s the same with Kim Eun-ha’s past, and the existence of the royal family named Kim Ha-neul.’

It is gradually changing from the development in the game.

Are they trying to make it difficult to see the ending?

I once again swallowed the swear words directed at my younger sister again and again.

“Junior?”

“Oh, no. Just think about your family for a moment.”

“Well, you get homesick when you’re in this floating city.”

Should I tell Liu?

But if you let Liu know about the existence of the ‘dog’ now, he will hit you from the front.

If it’s a prince or a princess, at most an illegitimate royal family member, they can be suppressed with the authority of being a very wealthy person.

To put it bluntly, if Liu stops the funds flowing to the Korean Empire, Kim Ha-neul will be kicked out of the imperial family first.

‘So it’s still a secret.’

Anyway, the ‘dog’ is being closely monitored by the prince.

If there is a hint of something, they will let you know.

Instead, you have to guarantee a date with Lily and look into her love life, but I guess this is a cheap deal.

Suddenly, when you look at the far end, there is a large lake shining blue and visible all the way to the horizon.

The biggest event of the first semester of the first year taking place there.

Is coming soon.

“…Let’s do it.”

Character events have also changed, so you can’t feel at ease just because it’s a large event.

But, whether I like it or not, I am a .

‘If you’re a fortune teller, be a fortune teller.’

You will have no choice but to solve it with composure and a smile.

… The wind blew.

It was a cool breeze, but to me it felt like the calm before the storm.

“What?”

“It’s the same. I, Lucas Arthur… Seem to like Lily Whiterose, to my shame.”

“No, that.”

“Even I am sick of my own whims, but I ask you a favor, fortune teller.”

“Are you asking for a favor…?”

“Love point…!”

Hey, Lucas, you bastard.

Why are you doing that?
