027 Curriculum of Pride and Prejudice (3)
And today, again, there was no class.
Instead, it was a day with a very important schedule.
“Prince Jesse, how have you been?”
“Hello, Agnes. Long time no see.”
I smiled broadly at Agnes, the mountain keeper I met after a long time.
Agnes also bowed down and bowed deeply.
The woman, who came to confession to me for harassing Shinsu, had a much calmer and more stable atmosphere than the last time I saw her.
“Say hello to this guy. I named him ‘Demi’.”
“Oh, hello…”
-talent!
Agnes was very difficult, but he waved a small hand towards Demi, who was sitting on my right shoulder.
Demi slowly shifted her position to her left shoulder.

Observing Agnes with his head raised and lowered seemed to remember the woman or to forget the old man.
“Now we are going to a really nice place, so you can take it easy.”
i told her Agnes nodded with a tearful face.
I had invited Demi to say hello before leaving, so Agnes would feel a little lighter, but I was relieved that my guess was not wrong.
“Prince, it is said that the preparations for departure are complete.”
Benjamin came to me and spoke to me.
Today, in front of Juliet Palace, a splendid and huge carriage stood.
It was specially sent by the Marquis of Duem to take Demi, the new beast, and it seemed that no one dared to intervene as the splendid Marquis family’s coat of arms was engraved next to the carriage door.
I walked towards the carriage with Agnes.
Perhaps Demi had not yet grasped the situation, and she slowly wags her tail in accordance with my steps.
“If you go and make trouble, you will be punished. Don’t chew on sharp things, and don’t play around with people at work.”
I explained it to him slowly.
The red panda groaned as it listened and bit the fig piece she had placed in her mouth.
A crunching sound was heard.
He ate so well, he never had a bowel movement, and he didn’t know where all the fruits in his stomach were going.
“I see you, Prince Jesse Penetian, Moon of the New Kingdom.”
I turned my head to the strange man’s voice.
It was a handsome man with dark skin and cool features who called me.
The attire was the same as that of Sir Elizabeth, but the decorations were more colorful and there were many decorations.
It was then that I realized the identity of the unknown man.
Well, it was strange that he didn’t come on a day like today.
“You are the captain of the Guard Herve Duhem. Nice to meet you.”
“It is an honor to meet you. I’ve heard a lot from Elizabeth, hahaha.”
The man smiled cheerfully and held out his right hand to me.
It was my first time coming here to be offered a handshake, so it was a bit strange.
I greeted him by clasping my big, thick hands.
Herve Duhem, the second son of the Marquis Duheme and commander of the Imperial Guard, seemed like a huge body fighter in a less authoritative atmosphere than I expected.
He was selected as one of the Empire’s strongest wizards, and earlier this year, he was also listed in the ‘Top 10 Most Attractive Single Guys in Lister’ selected by ＜Biweekly Lister>.
I’m definitely not interested in those rankings.
“Is Sir Duhem accompanying you?”
“No, I escort only to the border of the ecliptic. Until the realm, the Imperial Army and three priest-level priests will be with you. The divine beasts are of course important, but for me the most important thing is your majesty’s safety.”
“okay.”
I shook my head at his words, and stopped moving in a strange sense of incongruity.
“You said they were divine beasts…”
“Yes, the other two are in the wagon.”
“The other two?”
My eyes widened, and Benjamin and Canael, who were standing behind them, inhaled in surprise.
The captain of the guard looked at the three of us with a puzzled look and opened the carriage door.
The three priests who were sitting inside saw me and jumped up to pay tribute.
– Put it on!
– Hey!
As I responded to their greetings, I was stunned to see the two red pandas rolling over the wagon floor and approaching me.
They were definitely bigger than Demi, and they didn’t even have a white tail stripe like Demi.
It was just as Sadie said.
“The Crown Prince personally brought me this morning. Seeing that all three of them only stayed near the Juliet Palace, it seems that the prince’s ether is very impressive.”
Sir Duem said with a smile.
Agnes, who had been quiet all along, said, ‘Yes, these three are the ones I saw on the mountain.’ and confirmed
I looked at Romero Palace once with a complicated mind.
After I left my balcony that night, Sadie and Shinsoo didn’t show up.
Naturally, I thought that the kid would have taken these guys to the marquis’ estate, but now it looks like he has put the divine beast to sleep in the imperial palace using his fire attribute power.
To do that, I would have needed a lot more ether than usual…
– Kiyy
Demi cried for a long time and started descending on my right arm.
I reached out into the carriage, taking care not to let him fall.
“It’s a family reunion. Good luck, Demi.”
– Kururu
The guy who got on the carriage safely sniffed each other’s smell as if saying hello to two red pandas and his mouth was wide open.
Then, supporting himself on his hind legs, he jumped up and covered himself like a blanket over the head of a red panda.
Then, another red panda made a ‘quiet’ and put black paws on the body of the two animals.
Eventually, the three of them became a group and rolled over the floor of the wagon.
The priests groaned in pain as they went from one corner to the other, and from right to left.
“Prince, my heart hurts so much…”
“It’s okay, Canael.”
Even if there was only one, it was cute, but because there are three, it was really cute.
I handed two packages to one of the priests while quietly watching the red pandas having fun.
It was a request from Benjamin and Canael last night.
“This is a fruit, please give it to the gods on the way. I don’t know about the others, but the one with the white stripe on its tail eats well. And this is your snack.”
The priests in the carriage were very surprised and bowed down to me. I waved my hand in embarrassment.
I was only thinking about feeding the demi, but because I wanted to get sick later, I just prepared a snack for people, but the reaction was more intense than I expected.
“Elizabeth says that the Juliet Palace desserts are so delicious, the priests are lucky.”
Sir Duem, who watched the whole situation, smiled broadly and grabbed the carriage door. It was time to part.
“Demi, you have to be healthy even if you go.”
I waved my hand at him.
The tip of his nose twitched at the thought that it might be the last time he had loved him, but he had a better environment and a family to return to.
Demi, who was lying on the floor, looked directly at me as if she felt the atmosphere had changed.
As the carriage door was half closed, I smiled and lowered my arms.
That was then.
-Kee!
Demi escaped the carriage with a loud cry and swift movements.
I was startled and caught a lump of brown cotton tangled in my leg.
It was the first time I’d seen him move so fast, so I was stunned.
“No, I have to go with my friends.”
– Curl rumble!
“Why is he like this?”
Benjamin, Canael, Agnes, and Sir Duem all looked puzzled.
I looked at Demi, who quickly took over my shoulder with a puzzled smile.
Shinsu had a face full of dissatisfaction.
His white eyebrows were ferociously distorted as if painted with paint.
Demi opened her mouth wide as if threatening to reveal a ferocious pink tongue.
My heart was hurting and I was tingling…
“Demi, Sir Duem’s hometown is said to have a fire attribute. You will like it.”
I stroked him slowly from head to tail, and carefully lifted his warm body.
I was thinking of getting him back on the wagon.
– Kiyyyyyyy!
Then Demi turned around and landed on the ground.
In a moment of desperation, the guy didn’t run away and grew a vine with spiky leaves from his tiptoe.
If you look closely, you can see that the stem has thorns.
The face is jagged, and the plants are jagged. no way······.
“Is it because you don’t want to go?”
“It seems so, Prince.”
Sir Duem’s voice filled them with joy.
The priests in the carriage were also stunned.
I was bewildered and a little moved, so I was at a loss for words and stood stunned.
Demi then flashed her tail.
– Damn it!
“Prince, say you want to raise them again!”
When Canael saw the cracked ground, he was confused.
Demi jumped on the spot as if she only knew her abilities now, as if she had to take care of her.

OK······.
– Zeng!
With that sound, a small sinkhole appeared in front of the Juliet Palace.
It was just the right size for Demi to go in and take a nap.
A murmur was heard from Benjamin looking for the Lord God.
I thought someone would be hurt by Demi’s protest, so I quickly lowered myself in front of him.
“Demi, you made a mistake. I will not send it.”
– Kiyy
“Really, promise. Even if you ask me to send it now, I won’t send it.”
– Ki-eung
Demi tilted her head. Something was still unsatisfactory.
At that moment, the priest who was in the wagon suddenly handed me a package of fruits.
It was excellent judgment.
“thank you. Now, here are the blueberries.”
I brought out a handful of blue-purple fruits as soon as I caught them.
He sticks out his nose and smells the fruit, then starts climbing on my arm.
I didn’t intend to eat it, it just seemed like he wanted me to show his will as a steady fruit shuttle.
I could see the thorn vines growing randomly on the floor slowly withering.
The lively roared once.
“Sir Duem, I guess… I think I should keep Demi with me.”
“ha ha ha. Yes, I will report it to Your Majesty myself. It was a precious sight!”
The captain of the guards laughed out loud at what was so good. I got up with a shy face.
All of a sudden, the servants of the Juliet Palace and Romero Palace gathered around the carriage.
No, I was really looking around the neighborhood.
“Then let’s say hello to our friends. Goodbye, do it.”
– naughty
– quiver
-talent
Demi cried briefly as she looked at the red pandas in the carriage, and a similar reaction came from the other side.
“The ‘Great Beast Subjugation’ will be held soon, so the three may be able to gather again.”
Sir Duem, watching it, slowly opened his mouth.
Knowing that the situation was over, the driver, who had been standing still, approached and closed the door of the wagon.
The shrieking members of the Guard also drew near with Sir Duem’s horse.
“If it’s ‘The Great Subjugation of Beasts,’ are you talking about the next month’s contest?”
“That’s right. My brother is honing his magic while waiting for that day.”
The captain of the bodyguard responded to my question with ease and got on the horse.
The ‘Great Beast Subjugation’ was a spring beast hunting contest held every year at the estate of the Marquis Duem.
Sir Duhem’s older brother, Marquis François Duhem, the organizer of the competitions, was famous for always offering great prizes, and for the emperor and the cardinals always watching the competitions.
Even last year, the emperor personally participated and took the winner’s privilege, it was written in ＜Biweekly Lister>.
“I think Demi will like it.”
For such an event, it seemed that the imperial family would take Demi and let her breathe.
With a cardinal in the bootie who used the power, there was no way Demi would go any other way.
I shook my head and looked up at him in curiosity.
“Sir Duhem, will you come to my class tomorrow?”
“If it’s a class…”
“The Cardinal said he would invite a wizard to teach me.”
Kristel’s story was completely lost, but it wasn’t a lie.
Sir Duem shrugged his shoulders and smiled broadly.
“Well, I never received such an offer. But I can guess who the magician the Cardinal will call.”
‘The Empire’s Strongest Wizard’ isn’t just for me, he added.
Indeed, it was an attitude that threw away humility like Sir Elizabeth’s superior.
I smiled and took a few steps back.
“Go with caution. Please take good care of the gods.”
At my words, he greeted me with his index and middle fingers on his forehead.
After Sir Duem uttered a few loud words, the wagon slowly rolled its wheels and the horses of the guards began to move forward.
Agnes took the handkerchief from her arms and waved it in the air.
We stood still until Shinsu and the guards couldn’t be seen.
– Hey!
Demi in her arms once again said goodbye to her friends.
The thought that maybe the three of them might be siblings ran through my head briefly.
