Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

95 – Before the Storm (3)

“It’s not a gumball, so why is it so hard to drop it?”

It was very difficult to let Sylvia go after the lecture even after the lecture was over.

She said that as Adele she didn’t want to do much, but if she hadn’t taken advantage of being in her wheelchair and distanced herself from her steps, she’d still be able to hear her voice buzzing like a mosquito. Teji.

“This is also the job of the boy.”

Caught on her side like her luggage, Tina lifted her head and said.

Even though she knew that she was talking to herself, not a question, she hated her answer as if she was deliberately trying to remind her of it.

Adele tried to slam her fist into Tina’s head, then released her fist and placed her hand on the top of Tina’s thick hair.

Tina tilted her head at that unusual reaction.

“Bocchan?”

“…… Come to think of it, these days, it seems like they don’t even make an effort to use honorifics.”

“That, that… ….”

Tina averted her gaze.

She just pouted her lips and blew her whistle.

“It’s because I want to waste my energy by talking too long unnecessarily.”

“Your answer is so shameless.”

This time Adele banged Tina in the head.

However, she didn’t have any strength, so it wasn’t painful.

Tina asked, thinking that she didn’t bring it up to try to fault her with it, but that she had something to worry about and diverted her words.

“Boss, if you have something to say, feel free to say it.”

“Even if I can’t say honorifics, I’m quick to notice.”

She was actually worried.

Should she tell Tina that she knows who Raviel’s enemy is?

Since Tina has been looking for it so much, she wants to tell her, but she hesitates because now is not the time.

It wasn’t because of the reason, it was because you needed to be prepared to deal with Ella.

She’s not an opponent who can win by just jumping in, so if you don’t thoroughly investigate and prepare for her, chances are high that she will be defeated.

But she was reluctant to tell her about Raviel’s enemy, as Tina would run away from her at any second.

The endless silence was like an answer.

That alone was enough clue for Tina to know what Adele was hiding.

I want to beg her to tell me, but Tina can barely swallow the words that have filled her throat.

He is a young boy who thinks of Charlotte and himself no matter what.

There must have been a reason why he wasn’t speaking right away.

Tina, who could imagine her intentions, just calmly asked, as if nothing had happened.

“Did you find out who killed Raviel?”

“…… Okay.”

“I see.”

Quietly, anger rose up.

Tendons sprouted from Adele’s grip on the hem of his clothes.

“Tina, what would you do if you met the culprit who killed Raviel?”

Tina couldn’t answer that question right away.

She

She used to swear that she would ever get revenge.

There was a time when she thought that she would kill the culprit who killed Raviel in the same way.

But after thinking about it for a few days, she wondered if Raviel, who smiled even as she was dying, would want something like that.

Revenge.

Is that really for Raviel?

Isn’t it just an act to express her own anger?

“…… I don’t know. Raviel said he wanted to create a world without fighting. Raviel gave her the name Tina, which means peace, instead of revealing her culprit with her last bit of strength. She hesitates because it sounds like she mustn’t fight.”

Is this what I have been thinking about every night?

“Yeah, that’s enough.”

Tina was worried that she might be blinded by her vengeance, but Adele was relieved that she was worrying for nothing.

“Anyway, I plan to be prepared in case of an emergency. I also know whoever knows the culprit.”

She knows Ella’s way of fighting, having once stood with Ella on her battlefield, and fought with her herself.

She’s someone who wants to live without seeing her face, but this time, she needs to break down that stubbornness and try to talk to him.

Tina asked as she frowned at her.

In a way, it was a natural question.

“It’s Tina’s personal business, but what about you, boy?”

He’s a dangerous opponent who killed Raviel, but doesn’t Adele’s words sound like she’s going to help herself?

What is the point of taking such a risk for yourself, who is only a servant of the mansion at best?

But he replied as if it were natural.

“Of course not. Would I send you alone to such a dangerous opponent?”

“I could die?”

From noble mtl dot com

“I can make you not die instead.”

“Isn’t the boy’s life more important than Tina’s?”

“Your life is worth risking my life for.”

Oiled his tongue.

As if she had thought of it beforehand, she looked up at him as if she was full of energy at her nimble reply.

His gaze was looking forward to avoid bumping into people as the road was gradually becoming crowded, but he occasionally glanced away and made eye contact with himself.

Behaving as usual.

The same expression as usual.

The same tone as usual.

Looking at it now, it seems that the answer just a moment ago belonged to the category of normal things, like everyday things.

So, even if he didn’t bother to think about the answer, it was said that the answer came out easily because he was thinking about it normally.

“Everything is natural. Never mind.”

Adele told me not to worry, but how can I not care?

Dumbfounded by her mind-boggling answer, Tina blinked her wide-open eyes before letting out a dejected laugh.

“What is natural? The young master is out of his mind.”

I think I know why women get entangled around the young master.

It’s strange that I don’t feel like giving up my life for myself, even though it’s so casual.

“…… ?”

Tina’s smile gradually grew smaller.

‘Why do you think Tina would know that?’

The smile disappeared from her face, and only a deep expression remained.

“Ah, no way…… No matter how much Tina is, there’s no way she could be that lame…….”

Tina muttered to herself and looked up at Adele again.

He was shading Tina’s face with the palms of his large hands, as if he was trying to block the bright sun because the weather was nice today.

Kongdak.

At that moment, Tina’s heart raced.

Her heart beat is a natural thing that doesn’t need to be said, but Tina felt it because it was so obvious that she didn’t normally feel it.

“It can’t be that bad… ….”

Adele must have been providing shade, but his face seemed to be hot.

Huh! Suddenly a hiccup broke out.

Tina was stunned.

“Was it a mess…? … ?”

She thought that Sylvia and Lucy, who had saved her life several times, were worthless, and Tina was also a fool in her heart.

That’s even worse than the two.

“Why is that?”

Knowing her heart or not, Adele placed her hand over her head as was her habit.

It was a normal behavior, but for some reason, I didn’t like it very much now.

No, it’s not that she didn’t like the behavior itself, she didn’t like Adele’s perception of herself that led her to do this.

Then, as if my body wasn’t my own, I slapped Adele’s hand on top of her head with the back of my hand.

She did it herself, and before Tina panicked, she was also moving her mouth wildly, spewing out her own words.

“Boss, Tina is not a child who can casually stroke her hair.”

In that moment, Tina’s hair turned white.

I felt like an idiot.

* * *

The smell of books wafting from the study makes me uncomfortable.

The air in this space was unpleasant, and the presence standing in front of me was annoying.

It’s full of things I don’t like, but Adele sat down on a chair in the study and faced him.

“I didn’t know you would ask to see me first.”

Squeaky.

The old butler, with a shaggy white beard, poured tea into an empty teacup, then left the study with a bow as Heidel stirred her hand.

Heidel held the steaming cup to his lips and took a sip of the perfectly brewed black tea.

“So, you want to know about Ella?”

“Yes.”

Adele answered as she looked at the gently undulating black tea.

“Why. Did she suddenly want to avenge her mother?”

I only heard the lowered eyes.

It was not the vengeful madman she had once seen, but a pitiful human being in front of her, still unable to escape from her grief over the loss of her wife.

“Judging by the look in your eyes, it doesn’t seem like that. Not good news for me, but good news for her wife.”

As I was just staring at him with a complex and subtle expression, not sure if he was sorry or happy, Heidel put a long pipe in his mouth.

Inhaling a sip of smoke, he exhaled it out the window and opened his mouth.

“I will explain the things I know. I’ll say it only once, so even if it’s complicated, cram it into your head at once.”
