A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Chapter 125 – Happiness and Pain

After signing a contract with the Blue Wind Merchant, the two of us went to another merchant guild.

I was worried that the other guilds would be openly uncomfortable like the blue wind corps, but my worries were unfounded.

“Ha ha ha. Do not worry. I will obtain the items you requested within the deadline and bring them to the Noble Academy.”

“Freshness is the key to things like this, so if you let us know the date of the class, we will bring it to you two days before the class day.”

From the point of view of the upper management, these were inexpensive items, but the contract manager said that they would get the necessary items without any sign of discomfort.

Anyway, it seemed that the owner of the blue wind company, Endol, was an unusual person.

Nina and I were ready to go back to the academy after signing contracts with various guilds to supply additional goods.

If I walked a little faster, I thought I could reach the academy before lunchtime was over.

By the way, as soon as I left the area where the trade unions were gathered and came out to the main street, delicious smells began to waft from all directions.

Then I suddenly thought in my head that it would be better to eat outside and go back to the academy instead of going back to the academy to eat.

No, most of the time will be spent at the Noble Academy anyway, so wouldn’t it be nice to try outside food when you’re out like this?

“Nina.”

“Why, boy?”

I called Nina by name to make a suggestion.

Then she turned her head towards me and tilted her head slightly in question.

“Lunch… Would you like to go in and eat?”

“Lunch?”

“Yes. It’s been a long time since I came out, isn’t it a waste to just go in?”

When I say this to Nina, the rules of Noble Academy played a big part.

[Noble Academy Student Life Regulations Article 3 Paragraph 2]

[All students at Noble Academy are prohibited from going out and staying out overnight unless there is a special reason. This is to protect students from external forces, and when violations of the rules are discovered, penalty points are imposed.]

This is what I learned after coming here, but unlike the Royal Academy, Noble Academy does not allow students to go out or stay out overnight.

At the Royal Academy, it was possible to go out and stay out at any time after class if there was a good reason.

By the way, the Noble Academy openly set rules that prohibit going out and staying out, so for me, I couldn’t go outside recklessly unless I was with Nina.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Ah… Yes. Wasn’t Noble Academy difficult for students to freely go out and stay out?”

“Right.”

Nobody’s lover, Nina figured out with amazing precision why I suggested this.

“Then let’s have lunch here, leisurely enjoy dessert, and then go back. Coincidentally, I also don’t have afternoon classes today.”

Nina suggested that we go home after lunch and dessert, and if I refused, I would be the stupidest fool in the world.

“Okay. Instead, I’ll pay all the expenses…….”

Nina’s words made me feel better, so she tried to tell me that I would pay for everything.

Then Nina put her finger on my lips to stop me from speaking.

“No.”

Nina had a negative opinion about me paying all the expenses.

No. I’m going to pay for the meal and dessert I eat with my lover, but why the hell are they blocking me?

As if there was a reason, I waited for Nina’s next words to follow.

“According to Noble Academy rules, professors are not allowed to accept any kind of treats or gifts from their students. However, you can receive gifts from graduates who have graduated from the academy and have no relatives in the academy. Therefore….”

Nina pauses at the end, explaining that she must not break the rules, still holding her finger on her lips.

What the hell are you trying to say?

“Bocchan’s money… I saved… I plan to write when we get married…….”

I was a little shocked by Nina’s last words.

The idea of saving my money and using it when we got married was more shocking than anything I’ve ever heard.

“Then I can’t help it. I’ll do whatever Nina says.”

Hmmm, wedding funds are a serious matter, so in this case, it would be right to follow Nina’s advice.

“Good job. So, can you tell me which restaurant is good, student Adalbert?”

“We will serve you as the best restaurant. Professor.”

With a bit of playfulness toward each other, Nina and I chatted like that before heading to a restaurant.

–

Around the time when Nina and Adalbert were having a good time chatting around at the Noble Academy.

Someone was going through an immeasurable amount of pain because of a mistake he or she had committed.

‘I, Rumio Salux Reggereta Alberium, the Queen of the Kingdom of Alberium and the representative of all the elves protected under the great forest, forgot my original mission of escorting the Elemental Weavers, and our ally Bregern. Seluna Emeraldia, who caused great damage to the Empire, will be dismissed from the position of vice-captain of the escort.’

Seluna Emeraldia, who was the vice-captain of the escort escorting Rumio Salux Reggereta Alberium, the queen of the Kingdom of Alberium, had to step down from her position as the vice-captain of her escort due to her own mistake.

‘Now, since you are no longer the sword and shield that protects the kingdom of Alberium, you will have to live the rest of your life in guilt and pain.’

She regarded it as the most brilliant and splendid thing in her own life that became the sword and shield that guarded her queen.

And now, she is no longer the sword and shield that guards the queen, but an elf who has done her wrong.

‘Reproach yourself. And realize How terrifying is prejudice. What are the words of a person who cannot see through the truth!’

As Queen Rumio decided to dismiss Seluna, she shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.

‘Everyone should look at this person’s actions and develop the insight to discern the truth.’

One could see this and ask if Queen Rumio had punished Seluna too much.

However, the peace of the Alberium Kingdom is always maintained through agreements involving the El Pario Empire and the Bregern Empire.

By the way, despite Seluna’s dispatch to her Breggern Empire, she forgot her position and inflicted great losses on her ally, the Breggern Empire.

Queen Rumio misunderstood Seluna’s sword master Count Meidern’s eldest son, Alberto Salihar Meidern, who was said to be the greatest sword in the Empire, as an evil spirit follower, and incited her people to attack him.

For the prestige of the allies, the Bregern Empire announced that Alberto Salihar Maydern had gone on an adventure and was missing.

Queen Rumio saw this and thought that the Bregern Empire had concealed the fact out of consideration for their prestige.

So she punished Seluna more decisively than ever.

The reason why Queen Rumio sent her was because she had a lot of knowledge about the world outside of her, and with that, she sent her to lead her Elementalists and solve her problems well, she said.

However, she followed Queen Rumio’s instructions and interpreted this incident on her own accord, causing great losses to her allies.

So Queen Rumio increased the severity of Seluna’s punishment so as not to set a precedent that she would pass over even if she harmed her allies.

As a result, Seluna was dismissed from her position as vice-captain of the escorts, and she was banished from the Great Forest.

Exile from the great forest was practically a death sentence.

This did not simply mean that she would be kicked out of her hometown, but that she would no longer be a member of the Great Forest and the Kingdom of Alberium, and furthermore, it meant that she would not receive the protection of the spirits.

“… ….”

The Spirit’s Blessing is an ability that helps elves to have abilities far superior to those of ordinary people.

However, since the elf exiled from the Great Forest does not have the protection of the spirit, only the appearance is an elf, and the physical abilities are no different from humans.

Fortunately, Seluna was a swordsman who had reached the level of a sword expert, so she was stronger than an ordinary person even without the blessing of a spirit.

“That’s the El Pario Empire.”

Three years have passed since I was banished from the great forest.

Finally, Seluna was able to reach the borders of the El Pario Empire.

There is only one reason why she came to the El Pario Empire.

‘Do you know that it is the White Reaper? They say he’s a suspicious mercenary with thin eyes and good skills compared to his young age.’

“White… Reaper… ….”

‘What did you say? Is it Adalbert Rainmed? Probably. When I retired from mercenary life, saying that I was entering the academy, everyone congratulated me on my future.’

“Adalbert… Alberto. It’s clear. That must be him.”

It was to find Adalbert Rainmed, who was called the White Reaper.

“If he is Alberto… ….”

I have to apologize to him.

Leaving those words behind, Seluna slowly and carefully began to move her steps towards the El Pario Empire.
