Episode 129
The afternoon after Elnix was gone, Allen had regular meetings with Catherine.
“•••So, Julius is obsessed with freshmen these days?”
At the earliest, once every two weeks, or at the latest once a month, Allen heard from her about Julius.
“Are there any knights named Camilla who say that they come from the Reinhardt family, and the youngest princess who comes from the Empire?”
Catherine slandered with a cold face and criticized Julius for his actions.
“I heard that you came in as the top in this entrance exam, so does it make sense to approach it immediately after seeing it?”
It might sound like she was jealous to someone else, but there was only one thing on her face was sheer disgust.
Allen focused on the last word she said.
“Did you say you’re the youngest princess right now?”
“Ah, yes. Is there anything wrong with it?”
“•••no.”
The youngest princess of the Empire, Maha Habueron.
‘Is it when she enters:
Since she is said to have a heavenly talent, it may be natural for Julius to approach her.
The important thing is that one year later, the Crown Prince dies suddenly because of her.
Allen made contact with the second prince Eliza to prevent this from happening.
‘It might have been better to approach her first and convince her like Catherine.
However, unlike Catherine, who has the common cause of saving Julius from the devil, Maha Habueron, what she wants is power.
No matter what method Allen used, it was dangerous to meddle in the succession to the imperial throne.
Even if I barely put her in the place of the Crown Princess, I didn’t know if she would be satisfied with it.
‘It would be right to leave her treatment to Prince Eliza as planned:
When Allen made the decision, Catherine wore a well-maintained blonde.
In her elegant gestures, traces of her steady effort could be glimpsed.
“By the way… Confucius Allen. Is it okay to be like this?”
Catherine narrowed her eyes.
Her routine is structured without any gaps.
Daily repetition through training, management and contact with Julius
The invisible result was enough to instill in her nervousness.
“I’ll be honest. I’m already just one of many women by his side, and I’m not sure what I can achieve with time passing like this.”
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make a big impact just because I betrayed them at an important time later.
Allen thought for a moment at the question mixed with her anxiety and opened her mouth.
“then….”
In the black book, there was a scene Allen had seen.
『——Julius finished his decision after undergoing the attack on the Tower City. Even if it’s dangerous, it’s your turn to get Kiyeon, but to get this, you need one more person.”
“It may be risky, but if you succeed, you can grab one of Julius’s many leashes.”
“In this case, mutual trust or trust is the most important, and the partner who will get this experience together was more important than Julius himself.”
“However, the success of this depends on the princess.”
『——Because the size of the performance you get depends on the feelings you have and how big it is.』
“The real Julius, not the devil, the princess’s love for him.”
Allen stared into her waving pupils, and asked a question.
“How true are you?”
There was only one emotion reflected in the blurry pupil.
twisted love.
After meeting with Catherine, Allen moved on. As the students were assigned their respective tasks, the academy began to fall silent again, as if it had been tumultuous.
Students leaving and students leaving.
The sound of the rolling wheels of the carriage and the dynamic footsteps of horses echoed through the main street. Allen quietly packed his luggage and headed slowly to the meeting place.
The blue sky always looked the same regardless of the continent that was becoming chaotic.
Did you not like that silence?
Bastla opened her mouth to Allen, who was walking leisurely in the shadow of a tall building that was completely different from the city outside.
“So what are you going to do with those lizards?”
‘The Dragias family?’
“Yeah, after all, you didn’t answer vaguely yesterday. I didn’t mean to say no.”
.In the first place, it would be right to refuse. There is no need to enter a place that is obviously a trap.’
Elnix Dragias.
He approached the beginning of the semester and when Allen refused, when He spread the distance, as if he had shown old habits.
The audacity of approaching again while acting as if the incident at that time was not of his own volition was indeed a model of aristocrats.
In the original story Julius was talking about, and in the world he experienced before the return, the Dragias family had never moved anything directly.
The fact that they invited Allen this time is an unusual variable.
‘If you look back on the reasons why they acted that way, you can’t help but worry that you might be able to reach the secret of the family.’
“Do you know if it’s a trap?”
‘Yes, I know it’s a trap.’
Without returning to the estate, there are few opportunities to hear about the family’s internal affairs elsewhere.
Rejecting their invitation, which might be an opportunity, could only be troublesome.
‘I said I’ll give you an answer after I finish this mission’, so I’ll have to think about it until then.’
「Ehh… , What is it that hides so much? Are you really tired of it?”
Allen smiled bitterly and agreed.
It was difficult to unravel the complicated knots as if they were proving with their whole body that they were aristocrats.
“Allen.”
“•••Maria?”
A blunt voice that is always heard. Allen turned his head, wondering if he had already arrived.
Her white hair that glittered in the sunlight was neatly arranged and fluttered in the wind. A cloak with the academy’s mark on top of the simple equipment matched strangely and fluttered in the wind.
She tilted her head as she looked at Allen with white eyes that were hard to understand.
A gesture of pure doubt, Allen shook his head.
“No, I wanted to get out sooner than I thought.”
“Allen came out quickly, too.”
“No… it’s done.”
Allen stopped trying to explain for nothing, and moved to the place where the carriage was prepared.
Surprised by his actions, she immediately stepped out as if she didn’t care.
– rumble rumble
The carriage traversed the bumpy road.
Perhaps it was because it was a new-style carriage newly built in the city, and the carriage proceeded without any problems as if it had been able to withstand such bad conditions.
[Mission: Track the Demon Contractor]
Mission Area: Baydern, a city in the eastern canyon of the continent.
Mission overview: Track down and kill demonic contractors with the support of the local 3rd largest family, the Lupines. Destroy the Demon Summon Jersey Light Altar. Removed demon-related books.
Mission Target: Allen Reinhardt, Maria Caritas.
Observances: When a real demon is summoned, retreat and ask for direct help from the 3rd generation family.
Final Approval: Anastasia Pseudo, President of Galshudin Academy.
* This order is for a maximum of one month. Failure to do so will be considered a mission failure.
Allen re-read the orders given to him and Maria, thinking about the Rupinus family.
A place known for storing the white helmet, one of the five great deities of warriors there. Renowned for their public fame and terribly caring for their kin, they were famous for being entrenched in the Eastern Gorges, unlike the other three active families. Some say that there are ancient ruins or hidden secrets there, but the reality is that you will never know. ‘You don’t know. In fact, there may be a reason why they are located in the canyon area.’ I heard that the rivers and forests were sparsely left until the Rupinus family just settled there after the great fall. However, as time passed, he said, the forest had become so devastated that it was difficult to find even a single forest. That didn’t mean they were poor. Even today, they are famous for their ore and kaleidoscope. What Allen wondered was whether it was necessary to ‘drill’ the academy’s students to take care of it. ‘Even if it’s a cheap manpower, there’s no need to call students/ There is nothing that the 3rd generation cannot handle the demon contractor in their realm, so it would be right to see it as something else. ‘Are you trying to do something else with us as bait?’ What is happening here right now? Allen couldn’t find anything plausible, no matter how much he remembered. The same goes for black books. Before returning, Julius was also moving in order to improve his skills and gain Kiyeon. ‘I can only find out for myself. Allen glanced at Maria. She was very talkative and rarely talked for more than ten minutes a day. The reddish canyon rocks welcomed Allen from afar. The person you will meet from now on is one of the three major families, so you need to be moderately nervous. In the center of the city of Baydern. An old man was sitting in the cellar on the top floor of the huge fortress. His huge muscles and the emanating pressure that he couldn’t believe he was an old man made him realize that Hugh was not an ordinary old man but the head of a third-generation family. He opened his mouth with a nostalgic face that did not match his usual cold expression. “Yes, Liza’s son is coming here?” The old man with the daughter’s nickname in his mouth turned his head. The sight of the gigantic canyon always made my heart flutter whenever I saw it, but his gaze turned to the end of the road leading to the canyon. “Yes, it seems that Eliza-sama brought you here a few months ago.” It was a woman who looked like Eliza who answered his question. In other words, the daughter of a concubine who is not a concubine. Although it was a position that could be called an illegitimate child, the Lupinus family loved their blood so much that they embraced them. “••• For that purpose, I promised to lend the white helmet, which is one of the hero’s five new gods, to the child who comes with me.” “You called Liza’s son by cheating on him?” “Then that’s it.” The old man didn’t care, even though his daughter, who had left the family, handled things recklessly. Had she acted that way, there must have been a reason. The daughter who married the Reinhardt family for the sake of the family. Her daughter is married because she loves her husband, but how can she be at ease with her father? “And Eliza said, there is no need for the Lord to greet him in person.” “Hmm…” Listen quietly as if he wants to say more. She continued her words. “However, you have revealed that you are a member of the family here and told me to guide you to your room.” “And, wouldn’t Liza just say that?” She swallowed once at his words and opened her mouth carefully. “•••And, I asked if you could show me the scene of the deal with them…” “A request from Lisa?” She looked into the lord’s eyes. That’s because this request was related to the entire family’s interests. “Yes. And he said that this is purely up to the headmaster, and if it looks okay, give him a chance to enter the family secretariat.” When she finished speaking, he was silent. After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes and gave her orders. “I will accept all of them.” “I see…!” “Did I say that Liza’s son’s job is to track down demon contractors?” The old man heard that and nodded his head. “Let’s see the process and make a decision. Then let me go. I want to… be alone for a while.” As he waved her hand, she bowed gracefully and walked out the door without a sound of footsteps. The old man thought of his daughter’s face blankly in the room left alone. She left the house saying there was a way to solve the family problems. Remorse deepened on the old man’s face.
