‘You have to do well.’
I didn’t want anything to do with Yodo.
Now that it was like this, I had to move the urethra as I intended.
It wasn’t easy.
Especially, considering the ‘inner circumstances’ of the urethra.
An anomaly was needed, not a regular method.
“Anyway, I’m glad. “If you were a piece of trash like me, you would understand if I showed a bit of insincerity, right?”
“of course.”
“It’s nice to communicate well. After all, you are my friend. Then don’t think about interfering with me in the future… .”
“How about quitting the academy altogether?”
“… what?”
I shook my head as if to tell him not to misunderstand, and continued speaking in a voice that seemed to genuinely care for the third prince.
“Your Highness, there is no need to bother continuing to attend the academy, is there? Since His Highness the 2nd Prince will inherit the throne anyway, I think it would be good for His Highness the 3rd Prince to quit the academy and enjoy his own life.”
“… … .”
“I will help you.”
The hall became quiet.
The smile on the 3rd prince’s face deepened.
Looks happy, or cold.
Strangely.
Even for a moment.
“hahahaha! This guy also makes jokes fun. Don’t you know that the academy is a mandatory duty for the royal family? So, I entered the academy at this age.”
“What has duty to do with it? “Isn’t Your Highness not interested in such things?”
As I repeated the story, the smile eventually disappeared from the 3rd prince’s face.
“… You’d better stop. “That’s too rude.”
“I’m sorry, but Your Highness’s former homeroom professor. We have a duty to provide the right guidance, so we must know which path is truly for His Majesty’s benefit.”
“… … .”
Silence fell.
The 3rd prince looked at me with fierce eyes.
As if trying to see through my intentions.
-… Kuyu?
Marie came out with a timid look on her face and patted the 3rd prince’s head when he saw what he was looking at.

Thanks to this, I took advantage of the moment when the atmosphere had calmed down a bit to speak.
“How about playing a game of chess?”
“Why chess all of a sudden?”
“Isn’t it okay to be friends who haven’t seen each other in a long time? “The losing side decided to grant the winning side a favor.”
“hahahaha, are you asking me to bet with you even though you know I’m bad at chess? “Isn’t it cruel?”
“I am not easy either. “It would be fun to have a pitiful match between the ugly friends of yesteryear with huge breasts.”
“I understand. Instead, you can’t ask too much.”
Yodo nodded, and the game was decided in an instant.
It was my complete victory.
It wasn’t because of his versatility, it was just that the 3rd prince’s skills were poor.
“Oh dear. As expected, he is no match for me. By the way, it seems like your skills have improved a lot?”
“you’re right. Now, I’m not the Banregi I used to be. “It has changed.”
“… … .”
“How are you? Have you changed? Or is it the same as before?”
The 3rd prince was silent for a moment.
Then he burst into laughter.
“hahahaha. You’re asking something strange. “As you can see, I’m still a pathetic mess.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, as you can see.”
“All right. As promised, I’d like to ask you a favor. “Please play one more game of chess with me.”
“What are you doing when you can’t even compete?”
“Instead, please be sincere this time. “That is my condition.”
“!!”
The 3rd prince’s face hardened.
Angry face.
“Van, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably trying to provoke me. “It’s in vain.”
Percussion!
The 3rd prince’s fingers moved the phone.
“Good. I will fight with all my heart. Instead, if you lose, get out of my sight immediately and never appear again.”
Next, the match unfolded.
A completely different game from before.
The 3rd prince didn’t push back at all and pushed me fiercely.
The rock eats the knight, the bishop threatens the queen again, and the pawn works a miracle.
The winner was decided after a fierce battle that left you breathless.
“… … .”
Surprisingly, it was my defeat.
The third prince’s hidden skills were so great that they surpassed my natural versatility.
“hahahaha! How about it?! Now that you’ve lost, you’ll never come near me again… !!”
“Did you enjoy it?”
“… what?”
I continued speaking while looking at the 3rd prince with a smile on his face.
“What would it be like to show off your skills without worrying about what others think? “Isn’t it fun?”
“… … .”
Uredo (妖刀).
Sinister sword.
The reason why this nickname was given to him, a member of the royal family, was because of a prophecy.
-This child will stain the entire imperial family with blood and become a great emperor.
A prophecy made by an ascendant who has protected the imperial family for hundreds of years.
And the prophecy was true.
In the scenario, Third Prince Yodo eventually kills everyone in the imperial family and ascends to the throne of emperor.
‘That’s why I didn’t want to be involved with Yodo.’
It is a path to the throne.
You don’t have to imagine how terrible that hardship must be.
What’s worse than anything is,
‘The 3rd prince must commit immorality.’
Staining the imperial family with blood means having to kill countless blood relatives with one’s own hands.
This was the reason why 3rd Prince Yodo hid his true identity and pretended to be a fool, and it was also the reason why it was difficult for me to intervene.
‘No matter how good it is for the world, how can they ask me to do something like that?’
I don’t know if the 3rd prince’s personality is cold-blooded.
Even the second prince, the apostle of Ouroboros, was not the only blood relative he had to kill.
There were also many people who were truly close to him.
At the end of the scenario, the sight of 3rd Prince Mikhail sobbing and crying alone after sitting on the throne was a sight that will never be forgotten.
That was why.
What made me think about ways to achieve a win-win situation for both parties.
“What on earth do you want to say? Should I stop acting like a clown and show my skills properly? “Do you even know what that means?!”
“You misunderstand. I am not interested in the circumstances of the imperial family. “It doesn’t matter whether Your Highness reveals your skills or not.”
“then?”
“I just hope your highness is happy.”
“… “What kind of bullsh*t is this that makes you suddenly burst out of chicken meat?”
A win-win solution.
For now, I decided not to push his back.
Even if he followed fate, it was something he had to decide for himself.
More than anything.
“I just hope that your Majesty will do what you truly want.”
“… … .”
“You don’t want the academy, do you? Then, we will help you quit in a cool way. But is that really what you want?”
The 3rd prince kept his mouth shut.
“Actually, don’t you, Your Highness, want to attend the academy? “Like other ordinary people.”
“… “What is that?”
“Otherwise, there’s no way you would have entered the academy, right? Honestly, in order to reassure the rest of the imperial family, it would have been much better not to come to the academy. “Isn’t it because you still have regrets that you came to the academy like this?”
I looked straight at the 3rd prince and said.
“Imperial gaze? prophecy? Don’t worry about that, if your highness wants to enjoy the academy, go ahead and do it. “I will be your umbrella.”
“… “You?”
“Yes, I am the homeroom professor, so I have a responsibility to protect you.”
“!!”
Silence fell again.
The 3rd prince bit his lip.
“Ban, what are you saying? Have you become a megalomaniac because you’ve accomplished some great things recently? “At any rate, you’re just a useless idiot.”
“Isn’t it better because it’s half-baked? “If you hang out with me, who doesn’t have much of anything politically, your wary gaze towards Your Majesty will soften further.”
“!!”
The 3rd prince made a shocked expression as if he had never thought of such a thing.
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything special to see. I said earlier that I have changed, right? “When I’m at the Academy, I can do as much as I can to protect His Majesty.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Because I know very well what kind of difficulties Yodo faces.
My intention is to not get involved in Yodo’s affairs as much as possible, but if Yodo feels like he can’t handle it on his own, I can at least give him some help.
“Instead, there are conditions. Your Majesty must also follow my guidance. “Because that is a student’s duty.”
“… … .”
“You don’t have to worry about showing off your skills. I can just credit it to my own merits. Anyway, I am someone who will become the best professor in the entire empire. Even if you do well, my teachings are of great virtue, and you will not receive attention. Rather, rumors will spread like this. “I’m Van Ecclesia, the famous professor who even helped the bastard 3rd prince improve his grades.”
In the end, Yodo burst out laughing.
“hahahaha! You guys are really funny. good. I’m definitely going to go to the academy. However, please do not misunderstand. “I just thought it would be fun to watch you.”
‘it’s okay!’
It turned out just as I wanted.
‘First of all, I got everyone to follow my lead, except for Susan. Now we have to make sure everyone gets the highest score.’
It’s not easy.
Of course, except for Banregi II, all of them are geniuses with great talent.
The trouble is that everyone is a genius only in their own field.
‘… Everyone is bad at common subjects. ‘Ribel, Catherine, of course, Julia, and even the urethra in front of you.’
For reference, Yodo was in trouble. I was good at things with my head, but everything else was a disaster.
‘It’s impossible with ordinary teachings.’
The problem was that I was doubtful whether Julia, Wilhelm, and even the third prince in front of me would obey my guidance.
Because you haven’t truly followed me yet.
‘You have to make them follow me completely.’
I needed an opportunity.
At that moment, the 3rd prince asked this question.
“By the way, is there anything fun happening? “I heard there will be a class reunion soon. Is our class doing anything?”
The voice secretly looks forward to a reunion, as if he longed for academy life!
“It seems like each class goes to a nearby famous place. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m interested!”
“We’re going to the picnic too. I have a place planned. We have already received permission from the mayor of the Free City.”
“Oh, where are we going?”
-Kyuyu?
Not only the 3rd prince, but also Marie looked with anticipation in her eyes.
But, that was the moment I heard my next words.
“Are you crazy?! Are you going to go to a place like that for a unity meeting?! “Do you want to die?!”
-Kku, kkuyu?
It was a natural reaction.
Because the picnic location I chose was a truly absurd place.
“The meeting place for our class is deep in the underground waterway.”
It was the worst, inaccessible dungeon in the Free City.
I was planning to instill respect for the professor in the class here.
