A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

063. for everyone

“Yumano. You did a good job stopping the abominable demons.”

Pure white space and numerous constellations.

Yumano Shin answered while lowering his head in front of the calm voice coming from above.

“thank you.”

“But you broke the rule that you shouldn’t directly interfere with the broadcast.”

“sorry.”

“You probably don’t know that gods who break the rules will be disqualified and sent to the underworld, right?”

“…….”

As Yumano kept his mouth shut, numerous gods continued to criticize him from above.

“How long are you planning on interfering with the broadcast as you please?”

“I warned you like that when the Yumano Holy Kingdom was created!”

“Anyone who disturbs that order must be expelled immediately!”

Yumano Shin just gritted his teeth and held on quietly.

Immediately afterwards, a calm voice was heard again.

“Yumano. I will forgive you for this mistake, as it was an unavoidable task to slay the demons.”

“thank you.”

“But now you know. The human race is a corrupt people with no way to save them.”

“I’m sorry, but that doesn’t mean-”

“Remain calm until the day of judgment for the human race. Otherwise, you will meet the same fate as them.”

“…yes.”

Yumano Shin eventually retreated without saying anything.

But the gods didn’t notice.

That she hasn’t given up on anything yet.

Meanwhile, Trine was facing the biggest crisis of his life.

“What do your parents do? How much money do you have? What is your career path after graduation?”

Trine responded calmly to Orlot’s furious question.

“I’m an orphan, so I don’t know who my parents are. My entire fortune is about 200 gold, and I want to become the director of the Great Library after I graduate.”

But with each answer, the atmosphere in the living room felt colder.

Queen Orlot took a sip of tea and continued to ask questions.

“You don’t think you deserve to hang out with Sia either, right?”

Then Sia joined in from the side.

“Mother! You talk too much-”

“You stay still!”

Sia’s spirit completely died at that single shout.

Queen Orlot spoke to Trine again.

“At least, I praise you for breaking off your engagement with Sia because it was a befitting action.”

Trine couldn’t even bear to say thank you to those words.

Orlot put down the teacup roughly.

“I will prohibit you and Sia from ever meeting in the future.”

Trine took a quick look at Sia’s expression.

It was my first time seeing Sia so downcast.

Eventually, Trine sighed briefly and opened his mouth.

“Sia is the younger sister of my best friend, Sirian.”

Looking into Queen Orlot’s eyes without avoiding them,

“Besides, I am her senior, a swordsman instructor, and a knight.”

Without any hesitation,

“He is also my precious comrade with whom I have crossed countless battlefields before.”

He spoke to Queen Orlot.

“The relationship is not so light that the queen, who went abroad while Sia was suffering, should interfere.”

… At those words, the surrounding atmosphere became so cold that it was painful.

The faces of the guard knights around him turned pale,

Sia froze, even forgetting to breathe.

Even Trine later regretted his careless words and broke into a cold sweat.

‘No, I did well. Rather than be servile here, I’d rather be executed like a man.’

Queen Orlot quietly took another sip of tea,

He said while glaring at Trine as if he were going to kill him.

“you.”

“Yes, oh, Queen Orlot.”

“Marry Sia right now.”

“…yes?”

“We’ll have a ceremony next month.”

“Yes?! No, hey, wait a minute-”

“You’re not going to say no to something you’ve talked about so much, right?”

“…Hiccup.”

***

After Queen Orlot sent Trine and Sia back, Prince Shirou came to visit her.

“Mom, there was no need to treat it like a pressure interview like that.”

“A man who would back down from this level of threats would never be able to give me my daughter.”

“I agree with that too.”

“More than that, have you investigated Count Trine’s surroundings?”

Prince Shirou shrugged his shoulders and said.

“It’s just as your mother already knew.”

In fact, Queen Orlot already knew everything.

That there is another woman that Trine truly values.

Moreover, Sia is arbitrarily planning a harem for him.

Prince Shirou asked Orlot.

“But do you really think your mother will approve of the harem plan?”

“I have no objection as it is a common occurrence in royal families and ducal families. However, Sia must be the first wife.”

“That would be a headache again.”

“If you say I have no right to interfere, then of course I have to accept that condition.”

Prince Shirou said with a slight smile.

“As expected, you were offended by Count Trine’s words earlier.”

“How dare I go abroad and have fun while Xia suffers?”

… There is only one reason why Queen Orlot secretly wandered abroad for several years with Shirou.

It was to save Princess Xia.

It was decided to receive the flowers of the Bulak cactus from the emperor of the Romer Empire.

I also obtained a copy of the Book of Walpurgis a long time ago.

The deciphering of the grimoire was also scheduled to be completed before the end of this year.

But suddenly news came that a commoner named Trine had lifted the curse of Sia on his own.

Of course, there was absolutely no reason to blame him for that.

In fact, if he hadn’t been there, Sia would have been in trouble by Director Benhaim or Prince Kumcheok.

But for a commoner to break off his engagement to Sia with his own hands.

That was something I could never forgive.

That’s why Queen Orlot said.

“The wedding is in a month. I will never compromise on that.”

***

When Sia returned to her room,

Yuril was waiting for her, sitting quietly on the sofa.

“…Are you finished?”

Sia took off the wiretap attached to her sleeve and said playfully.

“Did you hear me well?”

Then Sia’s voice came from a device that looked like a radio on the table.

Yuril said as he turned off the radio.

“congratulation.”

Then Sia sat down next to Yuril and said.

“Sister, please hit me just once.”

“Why should I do that?”

“The first wife was unable to keep her promise to give up to her older sister.”

“I would have definitely said that I would not agree to that harem plan.”

Then Sia squeezed Yuril’s hands and said.

“I told you too, right? I’ll never give up.”

“…….”

“We will only have a formal wedding. I will never sleep with Senior Trine before my sister.”

“Sleeping together…”

“please.”

As Sia held Yuril’s hand tighter,

Yuril said, slightly averting his gaze.

“I’m sure Trine is so happy right now that he’s completely forgotten about me, right?”

“Is that really true?”

Sia turned the radio on the table back on.

Immediately afterwards, Siran and Trine’s voices were heard.

“Now really call me big brother.”

“Don’t be funny.”

Yuril looked sideways at Sia and scolded her.

“Did you just put a wiretap on Trine too? You really do it in moderation.”

“Don’t be like that, listen, see what Senior Trine will say.”

Over the radio, the sound of Prince Sir’an taking out a glass was heard.

“On auspicious days like this, we should share alcohol.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“What do you think? In the end, the only difference is whether Sia comes first or Yuri comes first.”

“It’s not that kind of problem!”

Trine’s voice suddenly grew louder and the sound of glass breaking was heard.

“Why are you getting married when you haven’t even found Yuril yet?”

… This was the first time I heard Trine’s voice this angry.

When I felt Yuril’s body tremble a little,

Sia gently hugged Yuril from the side.

Meanwhile, Trine continued to scream.

“I can’t be happy if I don’t save Yuril! Then in the end, even if Sia gets married, she will only be unhappy because of me!”

“Calm down. You’re too excited.”

“For what reason have I endured all this crap? I-”

“Calm down. Getting angry here won’t change anything.”

“…sorry.”

Sia said, turning off the radio.

“Did you know? Senior Trine truly likes you.”

Yuril calmly swallowed a pill full and gathered his confused emotions.

… Yuril hopes that Trine will give up Yuril for his own happiness.

However, Trine is hesitating to marry Sia because of Yuril.

If so, it would be better

Wouldn’t it be better to just leave like this and run away so that Trine can’t find him again…

At that time, Sia was next to Yuril and gently hugged her.

“Please don’t just choose to leave like this.”

“…….”

“I like my older sister as much as my senior.”

“…….”

“You know, my harem plan is the only way for all three of us to be happy.”

“…….”

“So, please give Senior Trine and me a chance.”

Then Yuril answered in a cold voice.

“You don’t know what I mean by giving Trine a chance, do you?”

“I know.”

“If Trine fails to save me, one of us will definitely die.”

“Senior knew that too and was prepared for it.”

“Do we really have to make a choice that makes everyone unhappy?”

“Anyway, if a senior gives up on an older sister, everyone becomes unhappy. And…”

Sia said, looking straight into Yuril’s eyes.

“I believe that you will definitely be able to save your sister.”

… Yuril stood up.

Then he lightly slapped Sia’s cheek.

Then Sia carefully asked Yuril.

“What does this mean?”

“You asked me to hit you earlier.”

At those words, Sia suddenly hugged Yuril tightly.

“thanks sister!”

Yuril said, pulling Sia a little away.

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m definitely not in favor of your harem plan just yet.”

“Yes, sister.”

“It’s just that I don’t want Trine to hesitate to marry you because of me.”

“Yes, sister.”

“If Trine becomes happy thanks to you, he will neglect his efforts to become stronger than me. Then you will naturally give up on me.”

“Is that really true?”

Yuril and Sia stared at each other for a moment.

Then, in the end, Yuril avoided eye contact and muttered.

“…Take me to where Trine is.”

The two soon headed to Prince Sirian’s room together.

When Yuril entered the room, as expected, Trine’s expression turned comical.

“Yu, Yuril?! Uh, when did you come to the palace?”

Then Sia answered from behind Yuril.

“Actually, I called you.”

Yuril stood in front of Trine and firmly grabbed him by the collar.

“Marry Sia.”

“What? Ooh, don’t be ridiculous, I-”

“Get married. That’s a prerequisite to giving you a chance to save me.”

Trine’s eyes shook greatly.

“Yeah, but-”

“Did I make it clear? I will leave you if you make Sia unhappy.”

Yuril and Trine,

Whether we liked it or not, we knew each other very well.

Therefore, only those two could understand.

How is Trine feeling right now?

With what kind of determination did Yuril say such a thing?

That’s why Trine answered.

“…okay.”

When Yuril let go of Trine’s collar,

Sia said, holding both of their hands tightly.

“I swear right here. If Senior Trine fails to save Yuril, I will commit suicide.”

Trine was taken aback by those words and tried to pull his hand away.

“What? Hey, why are you like this?”

But Sia squeezed Trine’s hand even harder.

“So, please save Yuril. So that all three of us can be happy.”

As Trine hesitated to answer,

Prince Siran stood up and slowly raised his hand.

“Why are you finding it so difficult? It’s just that the bet on what you were originally trying to do has increased a little.”

“You’re not trying to say that you committed suicide, are you?”

“Are you crazy? Instead, if you fail, I will abandon the royal family and leave this country.”

“You guys… you’re really crazy.”

Trine burst out laughing.

Then he took a deep breath and said.

“Good. I will make sure to save Yuril and make everyone here happy.”
