51 – Sleeping Dragon in the Forest (4)

Amelia, who returned to the mansion, opened the door to Ruid with a single step.

She vowed that this time she would never let it pass.

“Louid Christopher.”

The fact that Amelia called Ruid by her middle name was that she was really angry.

By the way—

As soon as I entered her room, I saw Louis with the blanket pulled over her and only her eyes sticking out.

That’s…… It was fatal cuteness.

“… ….”

Amelia bit her mouth shut.

Horse poop The horse poop eyes were so adorable you could want to bite them, and her strangely ruffled hair doubled her cuteness.

‘… What did I come here for?’

Amelia has forgotten her original purpose!

“This is not this. I almost forgot.”

Amelia regained her senses as she patted her own cheek with one of her hands.

She raised her hand over her waist and then went in front of Louis de Louis, straining her eyes.

“You, where have you been?”

“… I was always here.”

Ruid avoided Amelia’s eyes.

At the obvious lie, Amelia sat down beside her bed with a hard expression on her face.

“Look straight into my eyes. Did you really not go anywhere?”

“… ….”

Ruid couldn’t bear to lie. She hesitated, then she said.

“The Magic Tower of Pisa.”

“What did you do there?”

“… Fought.”

“What did your sister say?”

“Never step forward.”

“But why did you come out?”

“I am angry at the way children are locked up.”

“Whew.”

From noble mtl dot com

Amelia sighed.

With a softer expression, she stroked Louis’ head.

“Louid. I will stand by your side no matter what you do. However, I do not agree to take risks.”

“… It wasn’t dangerous.”

“Don’t talk back.”

“Yes.”

“…… Of course, because Ruid is so so strong, she might not be dangerous at all for something like that.”

Amelia calmly stared into Ruid’s eyes.

“But you are too young. It’s not good for the mood to touch things like this yet.”

“… Huh.”

Louis bowed her head sullenly.

‘Still, he’s reflecting.’

Amelia held out her little finger with a proud smile.

“I promise. I will never do anything dangerous like this again.”

“Okay.”

Ruid’s little hand got caught in Amelia’s little finger.

“If there is something that bothers you, tell your sister. My sister will take care of it. Understand?”

“… Will you forgive me?”

Amelia nodded her head.

“Of course not.”

But the answer I heard was different.

Ruid put on a bewildered expression.

“You are banned from going out for a month, Louie. Even if you come out, don’t disappear from my sight.”

“… !”

Amelia rose from her seat as if she would not allow objections.

Before leaving, she glanced at Louis one last time and waved her index finger.

“Even if I pretend to be cute, it doesn’t work. Who do you think I am? This sister is on top of your head.”

Then, with a victor’s smile, he closed the door and left.

Louis looked at her door for a long time with an expression of resentment.

‘This doesn’t work? Should I look for a different pattern?’

The 14th sibling fight this year alone…… It was Amelia’s victory.

**

Hercy found Ruid’s mansion after a long time.

Miho, seated on Hercy’s shoulder, looked quite comfortable now.

“Aren’t you sad that you aren’t around Ruid often?”

Miho was mostly by Hercy’s side. It wasn’t Louis’ order. It was because Miho had received permission from Ruid, saying, ‘Can I stay by Hercy’s side for a while?’

[But, being around the owner is boring. I’ve been trapped in a marble for 500 years. I want to see the world a little more.]

“Oh, I did.”

[That’s why Ruid is a very good master. You respect my opinion. I am always grateful.]

“Um… “

Rather than respect, there was a high possibility that he forgot his existence itself.

But Hersy just laughed heheheh, and didn’t bother to say that.

In front of the mansion, Sherry was cleaning the garden. Sherry stopped her cleaning and bowed briefly. Hersy bowed as well, and Sherry opened the door to the mansion.

“Louid… ?”

Hercy stared blankly at Ruid, who was sleeping in the middle of the mansion’s red carpet with a pillow on his back and a blanket on.

Louis de opened her eyes as if feeling her presence.

“Hello.”

… And slept again

Hercy crouched down in front of Ruid with a brisk walk.

“You are sleeping in an unusual place today.”

“Sometimes I need to change my bed so I can sleep well.”

Louis opened her eyes again because she couldn’t sleep.

I quietly got up and wrapped myself in a blanket. Hercy followed Ruid closely.

“It’s been a while.”

It’s already too late to say it now, but since this was Ruid’s way of speaking, he wasn’t taken aback.

“It’s been a while.”

It has been about 5 days since Hersy came to the mansion. There have been many things in the meantime, but there was a midterm exam.

He’s a self-assured Hersie, so he hasn’t stopped by.

Entering the guest room, Ruid jumped into a high chair and sat down.

When she arrived, Sherry, who had followed her, was holding her car.

“Hmmm.”

Hersy came today with a purpose. He coughed and made a sneaky suggestion.

“I found a delicious dessert shop near me… Would you like to go?”

Hersy spoke with great courage. It’s because I’ve never offered someone to eat dessert.

I waited for Ruid’s answer nervously.

“Sorry.”

Hersy’s heart felt like it was about to drop. She struggled and shook her hands.

“Oh, no. No need to apologize…… “

“I am foreign money.”

“Yes?”

“Do not go out.”

Seruk.

Sherry set her car down silently. Hersy politely bowed her head.

Sherry stood stiffly in front of her door, her hands together.

“No going out… Are you Louis?”

“I broke my promise.”

Ruid took a sip of black tea and drank it.

‘What, it wasn’t something I hated.’

Hersie hesitated when she realized that the rejection was not her fault.

“For some reason, Amelia-sama seemed to be in a bad mood. Did you have an accident? But I am surprised.”

“What?”

“… Ruid didn’t seem to care about that at all.”

“Take care of 2. After all, it’s family.”

Ruid added one more word.

“And Windsor has a strict hierarchy.”

“The hierarchy… ?”

“There are all noble families. Don’t you have Hercy?”

“Oh no, of course I am. I knew Windsor would be different.”

The Road to Windsor, which looks harmonious, is as thorough as the hierarchy.

Ruid was a special case, but he is not out of this situation. 1St place is mom, 2nd place is Irene, and 3rd place is Amelia.

In other words, Amelia was an absolute superior…. I do not receive such treatment.

Anyway, Ruid had no intention of going against it. That would break her respect for Amelia.

“How is the academy? Something must have happened.”

“I’m here to tell you that.”

Originally, Hersey brought out a topic for conversation at a dessert shop.

“It wasn’t even a fuss. How the hell did Ruid find the warlock?”

Hercy was out of luck.

About the stormy days at the academy over the past week.

Specifically, about the president’s resignation.

**

President Clifford Finances announced his resignation.

The explosive remark about handing over all authority to Phenicia Finens was made at a regular meeting.

“No way!”

The response came right away.

The result was that all the academy professors were against it.

“I am also against it. I’m still not enough, President.”

Phenicia was still only 24 years old.

Even though she is young, she is very young, and although her ability is outstanding, she has not yet been given the position of vice-chancellor.

Her Vice-Chancellor’s seat was vacant for her, and her next Vice-Chancellor, so everyone thought of her as her Vice-Chancellor.

She said that the gap between her perceptions was so great. The president of the academy had to be a wizard with a certain level of experience, or at least an archmage.

“It has already been decided.”

“Please tell me the reason!”

“I am a foolish adventurer who awakened a sleeping dragon.”

“Yes?”

It was a floating sound. Only Phenicia barely understood.

“President. Overdo her self-deprecation.”

“It is not a disrespect.”

Clifford spoke in a heavy tone.

“What do you have to protect as the president of the Imperial Academy? It is the processing of raw stones. However, I missed it even after looking at the already perfectly processed gem. It is no different from a blind man who has opened his eyes, so how can he continue to be here? I must have already lost my old age and judgment. My conclusion is that I will resign before my judgment becomes clouded.”

“… ….”

Clifford was the spiritual support of the professors.

Although he is an old man with a dirty personality, he always gives clear answers to confusing situations.

He was a good leader. The story of that good leader resonated, but it was not easy to accept.

This was especially true for Clifford’s youngest daughter, Phenicia.

“…… Little bit more.”

Phenicia bowed her head. She didn’t want to be caught crying.

“Just a little longer, please stay by my side.”

There was a deep silence in the hall.

But Clifford’s resolve was unwavering.

In silence, he wrote a letter of resignation from the post of general manager.

It was a letter to the emperor.

**

Lucius was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed and reading the letter with a crooked gaze.

In front of you, Guardian Knight Galahed Ryan was prostrated.

“The resignation of President Clifford. Is there a substitute?”

“I assure you, no.”

“I guess so. Ever since its establishment until now, Count Finense has been serving as the president.”

The emperor tapped the solid gold armrest with a steady sound.

“Phenicia Finensra. I understand that even if I can’t do it, I have to learn to work under the president for ten years. Is Jim’s knowledge wrong? Sir, tell me.”

“There is nothing wrong with Your Majesty’s knowledge. Since the center of the world is You, Your Majesty also judges the logic of that world.”

“Really. If you’re going to do the same flattery as the other nobles, why am I talking to you?”

“… If you are uncomfortable, I will correct it. But, this Galahad!!! I’m risking my life to tell you! Not a single lie!”

“Noisy, noisy.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Raise your head.”

Galahad raised his head apologetically.

The Emperor rested his chin on his chin and said.

“What do you think the old man’s intentions are?”

Lucius always likes to chat with his subjects by asking questions. Never, he never reveals his will first.

This is because the emperor is worried that the emperor will speak first, making it difficult for his subjects to say the right thing.

He’s just checking to see if there’s anything he’s missed.

Knowing this well, Galahad desperately racked his brains to come up with a solution.

“Yeah, my age is also my age. Wouldn’t you like to rest soon?”

“I am 111 years old? It’s still a while.”

“…… When is the retirement age for His Majesty?”

Gallahad was genuinely curious.

“One month before death.”

Fisik, Lucius expressed his opinion as a joke.

“You must want to put our cutie Ruid back in the academy. He believes that if he resigns he will come back. Perhaps after resigning he will send a letter to Louis right away. Since Ruid has a soft side, he will accept it. At least he’ll come back to the academy, and hopefully he’ll come to the academy to prevent the president’s resignation. After all, he is not an easy old man.”

“… Are you saying you’re doing that because of Prince Louis?”

“Yes. The rolled rice cakes went out on their own feet, but who doesn’t feel sorry for that? I’m a senile old man who likes fame and money the most in the world. At this rate, he would think that he would not be able to enter the coffin in his sane mind.”

Lucius looked at the documents with a bored gaze.

Asked Gallahad puzzled.

“So, are you not going to accept that resignation letter?”

“No. Will accept Jim agrees with Clifford’s intentions.”

Both nationally and personally, it was better for Ruid to belong to the academy.

It was a blessing that the Windsor child had been on the Islands for four years.

You can secretly push her 3 princesses and get them married.

“Hmm…… But the 24-year-old president.”

Lucius didn’t seem to like that part.

He lightly tossed the papers into the air. He got up and said.

“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to just use Ruid? He’s 24 or 12, that’s it.”

“… !”

Galahed’s eyes widened at the unconventional words of the emperor.
