The Harem Is an Unforgivable Master

42 – The Principal’s Sorrow

Today is a busy day. It is a very busy day.

I felt a strange sense of déjà vu looking at the hazy sky where light was still clumsily scattered and the morning dew on the statue of the first principal.

I’m sure I’ve felt this weird and languid feeling of fatigue recently.

As I silently recalled when that time was, I realized it only after searching through the remnants of memories I wanted to forget.

‘Yes… I couldn’t even sleep when the Archwitch came because I was so nervous.’

After tossing and turning all night, it was the same as when, around the break of dawn, I was shocked by a few strands of falling hair and sat there in a daze.

‘Why are you giving me such an ordeal…’

After the arrival of the High Witch and her disciples, the donations to the church doubled. Does that alone make Raen think it’s not enough?

How much protection and protection he enjoys in the heavens, so that he would not carelessly take care of a pitiful old man.

I just asked for nothing to happen for a year so that I could safely fill the expiration date.

I sighed as I recalled the identities of the people who would come to the academy early this morning.

It was only once when the Archwitch came, but this time noble people come from different places. Even if you grab a person walking down the street and ask them, there are three people who are likely to know everything.

So the worry tripled, the tension tripled, and the number of hairs scattered in the cold wind tripled.

‘Life… I’ve lived so comfortably up until now.’

After becoming a civil servant with the title of a suitable baron, he moved from place to place and finally arrived at the academy.

I felt a sense of pride as I looked at the new sprouts that sprout new possibilities for a brilliant future. It was the most rewarding job I’ve ever had.

But it seems that Raen wasn’t happy with that. Isn’t there a saying in the scriptures that ‘hardships will lead you to heaven’?

Yes, I was given the opportunity of suffering to go to heaven.

I made up my mind and stood at the front gate of the academy, adjusting my clothes. I have no sympathy today because I’m following the Archwitch, so I need to be alert.

In the distance, I could see a carriage in which one of the three distinguished guests was riding.

The sentence engraved with the three winds surrounding the leaves of the World Tree is stuck together.

This is the carriage that Princess Mayna Smitel, the youngest member of the Smitel Kingdom, rides.

Normally, royals use teleport to move around comfortably, but I heard that they couldn’t use teleport because they were too weak.

‘It’s a pity.’

How hard was it? I inadvertently committed a disrespectful act of sympathizing with the royal family.

A mere civil servant sympathizing with the apex of the kingdom. What the. My nose is stone, but who cares about who?

Helping myself inwardly, I checked my outfit one last time and walked to the front door. In doing so, I discovered something a little odd.

‘It’s a little… Fast?’

They are running so loud that a harsh noise echoes through the damp air of dawn. There is nothing strange about the carriage running fast.

But wouldn’t the story be different if the person inside it was a princess suffering from a disease?

‘Something urgent might have happened!’

As soon as I had that thought, I unknowingly even used magic to quickly move to the front of the wagon. Then, spotting me, the carriage also slowly slowed down.

I voluntarily spoke toward the carriage so as not to burden the coachman unnecessarily.

“This is Lekhaq Lanin, Principal of the Drafting Academy! I sincerely apologize for committing such disrespect as I was rushing to the academy!”

After I finished speaking, I heard two women squabbling in the carriage.

“Let go of this~!”

“Absolutely not! Dignity as royalty…”

“It’s the academy principal! You might know him!”

What the hell is going on? The carriage of the royal family, who values dignity above all else, is making a fuss. There must have been something out of the ordinary.

Swallowing dry saliva, I quietly waited for an answer to come from the carriage.

“Kyaaheung!”

There was no response, but a woman jumped out of the wagon and rolled on her floor. It also fell from the face.

‘It must be painful…’

She turned her head away from the young lady, who held her face to the floor and only her hips lifted high into the air. That was the best consideration I could do.

There’s no way a weak princess would take such a vulgar stance, so she must be an attendant.

Now, in the carriage, the princess…

“Principal!”

The woman who had fallen on her floor jumped up and she strode over and she grabbed my shoulder.

Grabbing her body without asking permission at the first meeting. Where the hell did she get her education so rude…

“I am Maina Smitel, the princess of Smitel Kingdom!”

…I didn’t. Court etiquette in the Smitel Kingdom is truly unique. Falling face down like a frog is the first greeting towards others.

It is a very beautiful way of greeting to show humility and consideration for the people below.

A great teaching method is clear. At least in this place, that’s how it is for me.

I don’t think I can survive otherwise, really.

“The principal of the drafting academy is the princess of the Principality of Smitel who is with heavenly glory…”

“Goodbye!”

He doesn’t even accept greetings. The court etiquette of the Smitel Kingdom is truly mysterious and profound.

“If you know anything about the ghosts of the academy, please let me know!”

Who?

—–

After being swept away by a storm, I stood in front of the teleport magic circle at the main gate.

She asked Professor Luctae to take her princess, so she has nothing to worry about. Although he has a rather clumsy personality, he is a reliable man for his character and abilities.

And for now, I have nothing to worry about. Because i don’t know Well, it’s a pity.

Professor Luctae is also a really strange person. He was just passing through the main gate by chance, and he was caught by me.

When I thought of him, the way the princess turned blue when I asked him to guide me, I felt like I was about to burst into laughter.

‘I’m sorry, Professor Luktae.’

I don’t mean to hate you. What about me The next VIP is coming soon.

The person who is coming this time is the candidate of the saintess of the Holy Land. If she didn’t welcome this person enough, she might end up incurring the wrath of Laen beyond the Holy Land.

As I sat nearby and waited for the saintess’ party, I remembered the conversation I had with the princess earlier.

“Who, who are you talking about?”

“A ghost! Ghost of the Academy! He said so!”

She stood in front of the princess who was talking gibberish, and she pondered for a while, wondering if her body was in pain. Could it be her mental illness?

I couldn’t understand what he was saying, so I slightly looked away, and the attendant sighed lightly and explained the situation step by step.

Her breath stopped when she heard that the princess and her party were being attacked by assassins on their way to the academy.

Feeling fortunate that she had written a will beforehand, she quietly lowered the robe down her neck.

Although the princess is still alive, she was attacked right near the academy, which is also the reality of the academy.

And it was also the perfect material for my head to be separated from my body.

Fortunately, however, no one drew a knife.

“A man wearing a white mask and claiming to be the Ghost of the Academy has arrived and neutralized the assassins. And surprisingly… He even cured the princess of an incurable disease.”

She knew from the beginning that the princess had been coming to the academy to ask the Great Witch to cure her incurable disease.

Capture the assassins who broke through the academy’s crime prevention, which is thoroughly prepared for emergencies?

In addition, he solved an incurable disease that even the wizards and doctors of the continent gave up on treating?

A masked thief with the ridiculous name of the academy’s ghost?

‘Who are you?’

Bring it. Don’t take my place I’m willing to pay the price of my life.

“Must! Please find it! He is my life… Lifesaver!”

I can still hear the words of the princess who stuck her head out of the window of her carriage without her dignity and begged me to trust her until the very end.

Rather than looking for a benefactor, I had a strong feeling that I was looking for a lover I had separated from. There doesn’t seem to be any difference.

‘Ah, he’s coming now.’

Shimmering mana began to bloom in the magic circle.

It may be small, but the mana twist of large-scale teleport is harder to miss.

This shimmer itself is a signal that it is coming, so it would be rude if you do not greet it properly. I checked her clothes and straightened her back.

After a while, people wearing white robes, the symbol of the Holy Kingdom, appeared over the magic circle one by one.

Of course, the off-white woman who stands out among them is the distinguished guest who is coming to the academy this time. As soon as she spotted me, she slowly moved in front of me.

She pinned her flowing pink hair to her chest and politely bowed slightly at her waist to greet her.

“Nice to meet you, Shindo. Nemenia, the candidate of the church, greets the brother who is with the will of the heavenly spirit.”

An old-fashioned greeting that exudes nobility from even a small gesture. Yes, this is a greeting It doesn’t fall like a frog.

Not to be outdone by this, I bowed down with utmost respect.

“It is an honor to meet the person who serves the great Heavenly God more closely. My name is Lekhaq Lanin, the headmaster of the academy and a devout follower of Raen.”

She slipped her hand to her mouth and smiled uncharacteristically alluring.

“It is always a pleasure to meet a devout believer.”

“Thank you for just your words.”

Then she looked around her for a moment, then let her shoulders drop slightly in disappointment.

“Looks like he… Didn’t come out to meet you…”

Since I already knew who the “Him” She was talking about was, I had nothing more to say.

She asks him to come with her to greet her candidate for sainthood. I’m sure the Archwitch will burn my head, which is still being cut down, with a bald mountain.

‘No… Each strand is precious…’

Until I discover the legendary magic that can turn my barren fields into verdant meadows, I must cherish them.

She smiled and changed the topic.

“Aren’t you tired from coming all the way here? I will call someone who will show you where to stay right away.”

I still have one more guest to greet. In a way, as a citizen of the Empire, he had to greet them with the utmost care.

I took out a communication tool from my chest and was seriously considering whether there was someone trustworthy to guide me on my behalf when I noticed a person approaching me.

I almost laughed out loud because I was so dumbfounded.

‘You… Why are you there again?’

It was Professor Luctae, who was entrusted with guiding the princess earlier. It seems that he is coming to tell me that he served the princess well.

Originally, he was a strange person who was used like a neighborhood drum here and there, but I never thought he would be like that here.

‘This is enough for me.’

It is clear that you donated more to the temple than I did. To get the chance to serve the candidate saint like this.

“Professor Luktae! Come here and say hello to the saintess candidate!”

Upon hearing my words, Professor Luctae’s expression darkened. He seemed to have a premonition of his fate, but he began to run hurriedly.

‘I’m sorry.’

So why did you have to be there at this timing?

‘Ah, it shouldn’t be like this.’

But why is it so funny?
