157 – [Side Story] Student from the Eastern Continent – 16
After a while, the emperor, who had changed his clothes, came to the two people who were guided into the villa.
The emperor, who was dressed in clothes that were not very flashy but luxurious at first glance, clearly showed the dignity of a monarch, unlike before.
Before he sat down, he looked at Sir and lowered his head.
At that sight, Sir opened his eyes wide and Martina was astonished.
The emperor of the empire bowed his head, and the imperial nobles were a complete surprise to Martina.
“First, I’d like to apologize.”
Lucius, Emperor of the Ardia Empire, raised his head and said.
“Miss Cyr, both as the Emperor of the Lucius Empire who has been asked to take care of you, and as the father of a child, I think I should apologize to you first.”
In the World Tree Church, in the Kingdom of Palaginia, and broadly in the entire Eastern Continent, great damage was almost done to the daughter who had been asked to protect by the Emperor of the Ardian Empire.
And the person who was trying to cause that damage was none other than Prince Joshua, his own son.
Nevertheless, the reality is that it is difficult to properly punish Prince Joshua due to various circumstances.
So, the emperor first bowed his head and apologized.
“Your Majesty…Your Majesty…”
And, Martina also knew that.
She is the fiancée of Prince Joshua, and it is none other than Martina who reports his every move to the emperor.
“I’m fine, Your Majesty.”
Sir said with a smile.
Honestly, whatever Prince Joshua did didn’t even bother Sir.
“Although there were some unfortunate incidents, I am living my life at the Academy steadily and happily.”
Sir said that and looked at Martina.
When her eyes met, Sir smiled brightly.
“More than anything, she was always able to spend her time with peace of mind because senior Martina always took good care of her.”
“Sir…Miss Sir…”
“I see… That’s really fortunate.”
When Sir said that, Emperor Lucius also smiled as if relieved.
And then, as the servants brought out tea, Emperor Lucius smiled and said.
“Well, the reason I called Miss Sir this time was no different. Because my work was so busy, I was never able to treat precious guests from the East Continent.”
Tea was poured, and various refreshments were soon followed.
This is indeed a tea table prepared by the emperor of an empire.
As various refreshments that had never been seen before on the Eastern Continent were presented, Sir also showed interest.
“We made friends, and if I needed anything, I called him once to ask for advice.”
After a brief friendship with the emperor, Sir left the palace with Martina.
He returned to the dormitory, but Lilu had not returned yet.
All I could see was Bligman taking a nap, curled up on a blanket prepared by the window.
Sir, who was smiling at Bligh, fell into thought.
Since he had the opportunity to talk to the emperor this time, he was able to ask a few questions and get answers.
Of course, this is the entity that Sir is currently most interested in.
It is none other than Alyssa Leifert.
An unusual being, something in which something is clearly out of sync.
So she asked Emperor Lucius about her.
Of course, the emperor was also clearly concerned about the existence of Alyssa Leifert.
She is, above all, a woman who possesses the children of several powerful men, including her own son, Prince Joshua.
Of course, Emperor Lucius also gathered some information.
Sir took out several documents from his arms.
It was none other than a piece of paper containing brief information about Alyssa Leifert collected by the Emperor.
Documents that were organized by an attendant and handed over to Sir.
Sir turned his gaze to the document.
Alyssa Leipert.
Viscount Leipert’s illegitimate son and currently the only direct descendant of Viscount Leipert.
Before she became a maid, she lived alone with her mother, who was a commoner.
Viscount Leifert gave her mother a considerable offering, so it seemed like the two of them were not short of money to make a living.
It is said that when she was still young, her biological mother fell ill and died, and she lived alone for several years.
Nevertheless, she was quite intelligent and managed to survive on her own by appropriately utilizing her remaining assets.
Then one day, Viscount Ray Furt, who needed a successor, heard about her and came to visit.
Viscount Leifert, who knew at first glance that she was his daughter, took her in and gave her various educations as his successor.
Suddenly becoming a noble daughter, she had to study a huge amount of etiquette and magic, but she worked hard.
Although she started her studies at a later age than other nobles, it is said that she was so enthusiastic that her tutors were amazed at her.
And when she had completed her education, Viscount Leifert was relieved.
Although she was a little awkward, she definitely showed the manners of a noble lady.
It was even revealed that he had considerable magical talent.
If she went to the academy, she would no doubt be able to graduate with fairly good grades.
Viscount Ray Pert praised her until her tongue went dry, and it is said that Alyssa, with her bright smile, was very beautiful, as if he was pleased with the praise even though it was her father who met her at a late age.
However, Viscount Leifert’s thoughts were shattered.
Alyssa Ray Putt has changed since entering her academy.
She was skipping classes, she was flirting with the children of some powerful people who already had her fiancee, and she was frowned upon by many noble ladies.
She was even flirting with her crown prince, Joshua, and there were already rumors among the nobles.
Although her grades were good, the rumors that were heard were so shocking that Viscount Rayffert’s mouth went dry.
It is said that Viscount Leifert, who could not stand her, visited her and scolded her, but she did not even listen.
Why on earth did this happen?
She must have been an excellent child who worked hard.
Viscount Ray Furt tried to find out the cause of her change, but she had no idea.
She had no circumstances whatsoever about why anything particularly strange happened to her.
I wanted to get angry and tell him to come back to his hometown right away, but quitting the academy like this would be quite a disgrace for a noble.
Now that there was no one to replace her, it couldn’t be done.
In the end, Viscount Ray Furt had no choice but to wrap her head around each day.
Reading her report, Sir fell into thought.
She was quite different from the Alyssa Ray Putt she had seen so far and the Alyssa Ray Putt from the past in her records. She
Of course, you might think that she was crooked by hanging out with those in power, but I thought there might be something decidedly wrong with her.
No, I was sure.
Something is definitely off with her.
Knock knock
I heard a knock on the door.
When I looked towards the door and responded, the door opened and a blonde maid came in.
It was the exclusive servant, Lilu.
Lilu had gone out to investigate, and she had just returned.
“… Sir.”
“Lilu, did you find out anything?”
Lilu’s expression looked very serious.
When Sir, feeling that there was something in that expression, asked, Lilu nodded with a serious expression.
“Sir, I think you should come with us for a moment.”
The place where Lilu took Sir was a place that could be said to be the dark side of the system.
It is a completely different place from the city area near the castle, with well-maintained roads and excellent security.
Although Sir did not understand it properly, he did understand that the atmosphere around him was something unusual.
That’s probably true, too. If Sir’s parents were here, they would never have allowed Sir to come here.
“Hey brother, don’t you want to have a good time?”
“Hyung, what if there’s a good girl?”

What to hide?
It is a brothel. This place.
Sir and Lilu wear hoods pulled down so deeply that their faces cannot be seen.
Lilu was always paying attention to Sir and running ahead, and Sir followed closely behind Lilu.
And, Bligh is also on standby so that he can answer Sir’s summons at any time.
“…Lilu, is there a clue here?”
“Yes, I’m not sure, but I found someone who definitely knows something. But that person’s condition…”
Lilu answered, then paused.
Sir also looked at her Lilu and made eye contact with her.
“…Lilu.”
“Yes, Sir. It looks like they’re trying to attack us here.”
Lilu quietly pulled out the dagger from her arms.
Men with scary faces lined up to surround them.
“I can’t see your face clearly, are you sure?”
“Of course, I confirmed that he came out of the dormitory.”
That’s right.
They were following us from the dormitory.
Of course, Lilu and Cyr were aware of their presence.
However, I thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to make a fuss on the main road, so I was planning to leave them alone before heading out, but I guess they were planning to attack here.
Well, a brothel was a perfect place to attack.
“So ladies, don’t feel bad about it. It’s our job too.”
“…It’s work, so there must be someone who did it.”
Lilu bent down, clutching her dagger tightly.
“…You will have to answer everything one by one. You rude people.”
