International students (5)
To be honest, Edwin II was not a king with a very strong impression.
Even considering the existence of Eshas, that fact remains the same.
As a royal family leading the fashion of the nobles, it was a great achievement to curb excessive luxury, but that’s about it.
His name will not be very important in history textbooks 200 years from now.
I’ll probably go ahead and briefly explain about 3 pages.
But that doesn’t mean that Edwin II was a cancer soldier.
In today’s era of peace, such a king is perfect.
I’m sure there are far more bad guys than a better king.
Upon hearing the treasure trove of the royal palace, we moved to the villa without delay.
Since Elena is currently number one in line of succession to the throne, you must keep her safely until further instructions are given.
That is the duty of the nobles of the Dracor Kingdom.
Of course, the royal family, including Elpentus, remain in the dungeon of the royal palace… But it is far from possible for them to be reinstated after they exposed their teeth to Eshas.
Originally, at this point, Persia would have asked, ‘Master, will Elena be the queen now?’
A villa engulfed in suffocating silence.
Elena, who had been shivering slightly since before, barely managed to keep her seat.
I’d rather send him to a secluded room and make him cry, but…
We have to wait until the real news arrives from the royal palace.
Unfortunately or fortunately, the royal messenger arrived not long after.
Receiving the tightly sealed letter from the white messenger’s hand, he hurriedly left the place.
It seems that the matter is the matter, so even the messenger who brought the letter does not know the details.
When I opened the seal and read it, a sigh of disappointment came out from the corner of my mouth.
“The cause of his death was poisoning… Therefore, visits of mourners are prohibited. Elena should also wait without coming to the palace…”
“What, what?”
“Nonsense.”
Maria and Christine, both from a prestigious aristocratic family, would say something like that at first glance.
And among the many causes of death, poisoning.
It is physically impossible for the King of Drakor to be assassinated.
Likewise, I can’t even imagine a soldier or a debilitated person.
Nevertheless, the reason for writing such obvious nonsense is clear.
The will of Eshas can be felt in each letter of the letter.
As always, Medusha sang it for me.
“It means you don’t want to show the body. If it’s poisonous, you can block off mourners…”
The guy who spit out without hesitation stopped talking in consideration of Elena.
He was trembling sadly as he hung on my arm.
Suicide.
That must be the true cause of Edwin II.
No one in this room dared to speak out, but it was clear that everyone thought so.
Knowing things a little more closely, I could be much more certain than them.
Maybe it’s because Eshas forced the concubines to work for blood transfusions.
Elena, who was unable to attend her father’s funeral, had already lost her mind.
That’s all.
If things go wrong, she too may end up with Eshas.
As I was contemplating the words of comfort, her arm caught me.
Once in the bedroom, go to bed and rest.
He barely squeezed a few words out of his parched throat.
“It’s okay. I won’t send you to Eshas.”
“… really?”
“Absolutely.”
My current win rate in mock battles is 0%.
Although he blamed himself for making a promise that he could not keep, he was relieved to see Elena’s expression softened even a little.
It would be impossible to return her to Eshas’ side like this.
If Eshas had an idea, he wouldn’t bring Elena back.
After Edwin II, if she goes wrong, it becomes impossible to rectify.
Thankfully, my predictions came true.
Esshas postponed the appointment of the next king.
It must have been the result of judging that it would be better to leave Elena as it is than to invite Elena to the palace.
In the end, the throne was vacant.
Elena was allowed to stay at the academy… but she was given a much stricter level of escort than before.
Not only are the guards resident at the academy, but the outings of ordinary students are also controlled.
In fact, the inside and outside of the school were completely cut off.
Of course, the fall festival that everyone had been waiting for was also canceled.
My pets reacted like they were going to die with their clothes ripped off.
However, no matter how badly they are heartbroken, they are nothing compared to Elena.
Even after returning to the academy dormitory, she refused to go out without eating and drinking for quite some time.
You can clearly see that people are getting weary.
We gave her soup and water while she was sleeping, exhausted from crying.
It’s a shame that the festival as well as the lectures have all been canceled.
Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
Even if I think about it, the academy’s daily routine finally resumes after she has finally regained her energy thanks to her devoted encouragement and consolation.
I had to go see Elena in the spare time between lectures.
I’ve always felt insecure, but these days I feel like I’m on the verge of breaking down.
The condition is worse than when Elfriede barely returned from the Demon Realm.
As I was watching Elena, I was moved to tears, and I thought of going into the palace, but…
Esshas must have already finished the processing.
It is common for nobles to cremate in order to grant complete death, so it is impossible to examine the body or anything like that.
It may be possible to bring in the 4th generation, but there is no important evidence.
Normal students are agitated as well.
It is strange that our king is not terrified that he has been poisoned.
Because going out is completely controlled, it is not easy to change your mood.
In the end, they expressed their dissatisfaction in a rather odd way.
At the same time, this academy had the perfect victim.
In a way, it was natural for international students from Einclad to be rejected.
Due to the exquisite timing of studying abroad, some thoughtless bastards even claimed that they had poisoned them.
A little more daring and stupid, they didn’t stop as much as they claimed and put it into action.
“No, you want me to speak straight?”
“Are you from that traitorous family?”
The gloomy weather, the dark alley between the classrooms.
A strangely familiar voice came from the place I had always thought, ‘The site is large, so it should have been built like this…’.
It’s not someone I’m familiar with personally, but I’ve heard of it somewhere.
Of course, it’s not surprising that I’m watching it with people I see every day.
But the content of that voice was hard to pass over.
After turning my head for a moment and checking the inside, I let out a sigh that was boiling deep in my chest.
The one blocking the entrance to the alley is Young Ae, Viscount Telamere.
A woman who used to follow the rebel students to find them.
It was Mabel Williams who sat at the end of her aristocratic school of students.
An international student who greeted Maria at the welcome ceremony.
A long time ago, the family formed a marriage alliance with Westwall.
I can vaguely understand the desire to hold on to someone and take anger out, but…
After all, I am an international student.
but. It’s a perfect target for patriot play.
Maria’s distant relatives were hunched over and responding passively.
Her bangs, which were long enough to cover her eyes, must have played a part in making her look full-fledged.
Medusha, who seemed as excited as me, deliberately made footsteps, and those who turned around froze.
However, Elena, who won their attention, did not respond much.
Somehow they brought it out, but the fortress is still like this.
I opened my mouth to cover her slightly.
It’s funny that it’s still stuck like this.
“What are you all doing?”
“Eh, Count Elcloud. This is…”
As if they knew that they were doing something shameful, they immediately blushed and averted their gaze.
Between Mabel’s curls in the corner, her eyes gleamed faintly.
I made a fuss about shutting down the telamere bullshit.
“You’re being harsh because you can’t meet Michelle fortress right now? Then, if there’s a war with Einclad, can you take responsibility?”
“Mi, Michelle? Why is he suddenly…”
“I’m not angry!”
The gang murmured as if they didn’t understand the English language when they mentioned the affair of the Viscount Young-ae.
From then on, I didn’t even have to go out.
As soon as she heard Michelle’s name, Telamere, who dropped her body a lot, took care of herself and ran away.
“Wow, what are you talking about? We’re just trying to warn you…”
“Lewis is also warning you now. Get out of here.”
When Medusa shook her head and spoke, the guys ran away.
Eventually, there was only one student with long hair left behind in the alley.
As we bow our heads in greeting, our hair is messed up, but the inside face is pretty neat.
Because she shared the blood of Westwall, she was quite beautiful.
In particular, the color of her eyes is similar to that of Maria.
It is a light purple color that is hard to find anywhere else.
“Go, thank you.”
“Are you a relative of Maria? They did a terrible thing.”
“Ummm. Would you like to go get some tea for a while? We have some good tea leaves in our club. I grew it myself in El Cloud…”
“Yes? Oh, no. Thank you very much for your words, but…”
I wanted to invite Mabel to the club room to comfort her about this incident.
You don’t even need the mouth.
Even if you go in and out of the nap club a few times and take an eye stamp, other students won’t treat you badly.
I don’t have a personal favor with her, but it’s hard to let go of what Maria cared about.
Mabel, who opened her eyes to the unexpected proposal, refused once as a courtesy.

Just as I was about to offer it again, footsteps approached me from behind.
I wondered if the gang of Viscount Telamere had just returned, but the sound was too low for that.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just as expected. The new entry into the alley had a completely different face.
“Ah, Count Elcloud! Nice to meet you after a long time.”
“Prince Albion.”
“If Williams is rude to you…”
With a bit of embarrassment, I greeted Albion, a royal student from Einclad.
Although he has a fairly high rank in the line of succession to the throne, he is a different kind who takes on the role of representing international students.
Wouldn’t it look like I’m bothering Mabel with the current composition?
Fortunately, he didn’t show any signs of reproaching me.
However, Mabel on the other side trembled at his appearance and became anxious again.
Albion naturally takes her away before I even explain the situation.
He was a little worried, but it’s not too strange since he’s also the director of international students.
But as soon as the two of them disappeared, Medusha muttered with displeasure.
“That guy showed up at the perfect time. As if he was watching from nearby…”
“Ah, maybe.”
I thought it made sense even with a small waving of my hand.
The timing is definitely odd.
Persia, who was wrapped around the nape of Medusha’s neck, fluttered her tail and objected.
“If you were watching from nearby, why didn’t you stop it sooner?”
“That’s because even if you’re an international student, it’s going to be an international problem…”
“Then why don’t you show up at all. At the very least, Lewis was inviting you to cut it off. Isn’t his behavior so strange? Anyway, I feel bad for that guy.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just like Medusha, Ethel is vigilant.
When I tried to stop the summoned beasts who seemed to have been affected by the cramped atmosphere of the academy, an answer came from the wrong place.
“Isn’t everyone overreacting?”
“No. The other international students are fine, but that guy is dangerous. It’s strange that a Michael-class summoner was sent abroad to study.”
This time, it’s rare that even the Demon Lord joins.
As most of the summons spoke with one voice, I naturally became on the alert.
‘No matter how royal, they are on the same level as Michael.’
It’s much higher than I expected.
Summoned aristocrats at home and abroad are the result of years of improvement.
It differs from the summoners from commoners or knights in terms of the amount of mana.
And the royal family is the pinnacle of such summoning nobles.
At first glance, it would be normal for Michael, who came from the 4th generation, to lag behind the royal family…
You have to take into account the level difference between Einclad and Dracor.
Without exaggeration, Michael is the strongest Summoner in Einclad.
‘But Albion’s summons will remain in Einclad.’
“It doesn’t matter what the summons are. I’m worried about Mabel’s eyes looking at Albion. Anyway, be careful.”
As always, the Demon King sinks into consciousness as soon as he has finished speaking.
So far, I have no memory of being damaged by following her words.
As soon as I decided to be vigilant, Elena’s book began to vomit a beeping sound characteristic of a communication card.
She held my arm tightly and brushed her hands several times with her hardened hands, and then finally opened the book.
“Um… It’s an order to enter the palace. Now it’s time for my father’s funeral…”
“It’s fine. Nothing will happen.”
I thought it would be too much to invite Elena to the palace now, but…
It wasn’t just a day or two that Essha did too much.
All I can do is protect Elena’s side.
I made up my mind and prepared to enter the palace with her.
