183 – Shameless Woman.
The reception ceremony at Lecheln Hill was an event hosted by the imperial family, so it was inevitable that changes would occur afterwards.
First of all, public opinion boiled among the people of the empire against the lifting of the barrier.
It was natural. Even if the princess was safe, the fact that the blood demons attacked her was bound to be terrifying to those who were leading ordinary lives.
Even the person in danger was not anyone else, but the second princess at the center of power. Her shock was even greater because her noble lineage, which she thought she could never reach, was attacked.
Soon after, a complaint was made requesting that the barrier be reinstalled. Even the imperial family, who usually kept quiet, had no choice but to step forward this time.
In fact, the imperial family also had its share of injustices.
In the first place, her second princess Aurora did it on her own. From her imperial standpoint, should she express the imperial family’s position and appease those who are in an uproar? She couldn’t find any time to rest.
─There was an unpleasant incident at the Sujeopje, but it was resolved well with the power of the imperial family. Damage was minimal.
No matter what the story was, this was the best from the imperial family’s perspective.
Her only witness, Aurora, was unconscious for a week, so she couldn’t even confirm the truth. In such a situation, there is no way she could suddenly announce, ‘It was Aurora’s mistake.’
So the decision made was simple. First, we will announce it as plainly as possible and then monitor the situation.
However, that was only the public opinion of the imperial family.
Of course, the public opinion of the magic faculty was different.
No, it was almost the complete opposite.
◈
Editorial Department of the Faculty of Magic.
Boom!
The door opened wide with a loud noise.
The next moment, President Cornette’s secretary appeared through the open door. He must have had a lot of information to review, so he was holding a stack of papers in both hands, and his dark circles were all the way down to his chin.
Perhaps because he was not visiting alone, the secretary looked to the side for a moment and talked to someone even after the door was opened.
“You’re not going to chase me…” . Let’s go outside and find out something. “Are you going to act this frustrated now that the situation is the way it is?”
The secretary harshly scolded the supposed subordinate and then entered the editorial department. Then he asked Sepia, the head of the editorial department.
“Have you heard anything announced by the imperial family?”
As the eyes of the tired editorial staff turned to her, the secretary continued speaking with a tired look.
“The participants had an accident, and it was announced as if it had been resolved by the imperial family. I don’t understand. “Do we have anything?”
“There is something.”
Sepia nodded her head quietly.
“If you have something, you have to do something. The entire Faculty of Magic is paralyzed. I’m going crazy. Also, I wonder how the president feels….”
The secretary took off her glasses and sighed. In comparison, Sepia had a quite calm-looking face.
“Secretary. First, sit here and take a sip of tea. “You seem so excited right now.”
Sephia used her telekinesis to pull one of her chairs. And on the desk, a teacup and a kettle are placed one after another.
The secretary just sighed, still standing.
“I can’t help but be excited. Don’t we know about flan? I’m definitely not the type of person to do that, but the imperial family completely changed their attitude and pushed the magic department…. Hmm?”
The secretary, who had been complaining in detail, paused once. After carefully examining Sepia’s somewhat relaxed face, she soon tilts her head.
“… But, it seems like I’m the only one who’s in a hurry. “Everyone is so different from yesterday, what does this have to do with it?”
“Correct answer.”
Sepia nods her head. She placed her hand on the shoulder of the student sitting next to her and smiled.
“Ask this student. “Because she did such a great job.”
“Big deal?”
In this situation, isn’t ‘big trouble’ usually used in an ominous sense? The secretary, who had not yet figured out the truth, looked anxious.
The girl sitting next to Sepia is Yusia. She was a girl so white that it reminded her of a ball of cotton.
The secretary asked.
“Who is this student?”
“Who is it? “She is a proud student of Usia.”
“Boasting? What happened suddenly….”
“Look at this first.”
Sepia pointed to a bunch of papers piled up on her desk. The expression on her editor-in-chief’s face was as if she didn’t need to say anything.
The secretary narrowed her eyes.
“Report… ? “Did you record the coverage?”
“Yes, yes. What’s important is the content. “Take a sip of tea and take a look.”
The secretary, who had been fidgeting while standing, eventually sat down. In her silence she began to scan the type.
After a while, the secretary’s gaze fell to her bottom line, and Sepia nodded her head with a satisfied look on her face.
“That part is important. And it’s fun.”
─ Thanks to Plan, she was able to survive.
─Plan…. All I remember is flan.
Vivid stories from the participants of the Sujeop Festival.
Sepia’s face spread with relief even though she wasn’t reading it. She looked better after being sick for a few days.
And soon the secretary’s face became like that too. She parted her lips, letting out a sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness. If it were the testimonies of the participants, it would definitely be effective. Well, that’s right, Flan couldn’t have done that….”
From noble mtl dot com
“Of course. “Flan is flan.”
“I’m glad that the subjects of our coverage are beastmen or elves. “I think you can gain quite a bit of strength from their comments.”
“That’s right. Because it’s hard to say he lied. Even if it’s a lie, why would you tell a lie like this?”
Sepia chimed in with her response.
This time, the secretary’s gaze turned to Yoo Sia. She asked with a strange expression, putting her glasses back on as if she wanted to take a closer look at the girl’s face.
“Yusia…. What did she say. “It must have been very difficult to get coverage of beastmen and elves. How did you do it?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Yushia showed off her own trivia.
“I analyzed her trivia message board. “We looked closely at the anonymous people who wrote stories about Lord Flann.”
“Anonymous?”
“Yes. Although they were all anonymous, their stories had many common denominators, and some of them were unable to hide their unique way of speaking. After realizing that she was a participant in the interview, she politely requested to interview her.”
“….”
The secretary shook her head and smiled ever so slightly.
“That’s amazing. “All I can say is that it’s amazing.”
“Right? You’re very brave, right? The editorial department almost missed out on such a talented person. “It’s so pretty I’m dying.”
Sepia continued her words excitedly.
“I didn’t know what to prepare for her in a situation where she didn’t have a plan, but I feel reassured that she won the coverage.”
“That’s right. “You won’t believe it at this level.”
“Now all I have to do is flan, flan….”
That time when I quietly listened to the story between the secretary and Sephia.
Yushia suddenly felt her bracelet vibrating. This was the object that sent and received her signals, and it seemed that the signals were sent by a member of her own secret organization, ‘Wilderness’.
“I need to go to the bathroom for a moment…” .”
Yushia left her seat with a normal smile.
As soon as the girl went outside, she found a deserted place. As we hid her presence and waited calmly, one of her gang members soon appeared.
“Yusia.”
He looked quite urgent.
“It finally showed up.”
“You showed up?”
Like a flower in full bloom, Yusia’s face bloomed. If there was something Yushia was desperately looking for, it was, without a doubt, Plan.
However, the following words of the organization member went against expectations.
“Princess Aurora has appeared. “It looks like he’s coming this way now.”
“Ah….”
“There is one special thing: I am alone.”
“Yes….”
A look of disappointment that could not be hidden appeared on her face.
◈
It was a particularly sunny day.
The students walking around the academy seemed more urgent than energetic. Since the Faculty of Magic is paralyzed, everyone is running around trying to do something.
And a teahouse on the outskirts, a little away from the main gate.
Yusia and Aurora sat facing each other. There was no conversation between the two until the steaming tea cooled down.
“….”
Aurora suddenly remembered the not-so-distant past.
When I encountered Yushia in the hallway of the imperial palace, Yushia looked as nervous as a cornered cat, while Aurora was relaxed.
But now it is the opposite.
She was in fact close to being a sinner, and Yushia had a strong attitude just like her former self.
It will become stronger in the future.
It was natural.
Aurora, a noble by birth, had to step down from her position as princess. It was a duty she had to fulfill even if no one else discovered this secret.
Her eldest princess, Naiobi, is not interested in her position of power, so Yusia will naturally take over.
So, she said that she was just a blood demon, and the Yushia in front of her was now the true princess.
“….”
Aurora looked at Yusia.
Although the future predictions were coming back step by step, Yoo Sia’s future was still painted black and invisible.
Plan is still deeply involved in Yusia’s future. She is jealous of that, and she feels envious because she is poor. Aurora had nothing to say to her.
“… “Is it you?”
Meanwhile, Yoo Sia broke the silence with her cool voice.
“Why did you come to the academy? “By what qualifications?”
“To normalize the Faculty of Magic….”
“Aren’t you here to look for Lord Flann?”
The person who brought Flan to the imperial palace, the person who made Flan participate in her wedding ceremony….
… And now he is the one who caused Flan to disappear.
“Shameless woman.”
A tone as if the blade of a guillotine is being dropped.
Frost-like gaze pierces Aurora.
Yusia hated Aurora. She is beyond words.
