I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy

EP.148

“You know, Rosalie.”

I asked while looking out the window of the moving carriage.

“Do we really have to go like this? Even the system.”

“I can’t help it.”

“Rosalie is an all-rounder.”

“…Warp is only available in the North. “Because we need people who will respond on the other side.”

In short, it meant that Ruby was needed to use warp.

But Ruby wasn’t here, and even if she was, she probably wouldn’t be able to use it.

Because neither of them said they had ever set foot on imperial soil. Even so, it is a monster. There is no way Victoria would allow it.

“And what about Mom?”

“Going to the 9th defense line…”

“Not that one. “Now that I think about it, there was a war and I never even saw his face.”

“You don’t have to worry about that because you have permission.”

“really?”

Rosalie nodded with a grave expression.

“Otherwise, there’s no way Irene can move freely, right? The matriarch’s orders are absolute. “It’s the same for me too.”

I see, Ruid skimmed through it and stuck his head out the window.

In the first line of defense, the institutions are connected by one path.

But it doesn’t mean you can get there right away. It is a system called the heart of the empire, but no matter how much Windsor blocks it, a filter is needed in the middle.

‘That’s Larden territory.’

Although I forgot about it for a while.

According to imperial law, this place is called ‘Larden Territory’…

“The owner of the estate has come and there is no one to meet him. They are rude people. Shall I kill you?”

It belonged to Ruid.

“Don’t say anything scary.”

“yes.”

Hee-ing –

the words stopped.

Ruid got off the carriage.

“Return.”

“yes.”

The coachman, in the form of a black shadow, slowly disappeared. It was Rosalie’s family.

Ruid approached the walls of Larden Territory with Rosalie.

There was a loud noise and the sound of soldiers moving about on the castle wall.

‘what. Is this a welcome greeting?’

When we’re almost there.

The guards standing at the gate crossed their spears in an X shape.

“I can’t go any further than this!”

“huh?”

“Outsiders are prohibited from entering!”

‘Don’t you know me? However, the carriage will have the Windsor family symbol emblazoned on its door.’

Ruid looked at Rosalie in bewilderment.

But Rosalie said nothing. It seemed like he meant to figure it out on his own.

Ruid narrowed his eyes and pointed to his left chest.

The emblem symbolizing Windsor was engraved on it.

“I am Louis Christopher Windsor. He is the owner of Larden Territory. “Didn’t you hear the story?”

“…!”

The guard swallowed his saliva with a sucking sound. It was so loud that even Ruid’s ears could hear it vividly.

“…to.”

The guard lowered his head and muttered in a trembling voice.

“?”

“There is no rest for traitors!”

The guard shouted with enthusiasm and swung his spear.

“what.”

But the spear could not reach Ruid. Some invisible force blocked it.

“Sudden acceleration.”

Snap –

The guard’s head fell off.

Another guard right next to him stepped back in disbelief.

Ruid asked indifferently.

“Are you going to attack me too?”

“Monster.”

The guard dropped his spear on the floor and ran back.

Ruid stretched out his fingers and twitched them. The guard’s body floated and then went limp.

A glimpse of white was visible inside the guard’s helmet that had fallen to the ground.

He looked at the fallen guard and spoke in a voice full of dissatisfaction.

“Where can you find such a cute monster?”

Luid felt Rosalie’s stinging gaze.

As he said, his cheeks turned slightly red because he was embarrassed.

“Lord Luid.”

“Do you have any complaints?”

Fortunately or unfortunately, Rosalie wasn’t interested in that.

“Why didn’t you kill him?”

“uh?”

It was an unexpected question, so Ruid blinked.

He killed the guard who first tried to swing his spear at him, but only put the fleeing guard to sleep.

As expected, Rosalie seemed to recognize her at once.

“That’s because you didn’t do anything to me.”

“That’s because he’s the underdog. “If you were stronger than Lord Ruid, you wouldn’t have run away.”

Rosalie walked towards the fallen guard.

“More than anything, the prey that was kept alive remembers this and cheekily dreams of revenge. “Especially if your intelligence is as high as that of a human being.”

Rosalie picked up the guard’s spear.

And then he held it out to Ruid.

“Kill him. “Lord Luid.”

“….”

Rosalie’s appearance overlapped Irene’s.

‘Could it be that Sister Irene named Rosalie for this?’

That’s what I thought.

Ruid sighed.

“I hate it because it’s so cruel.”

“Lord Luid.”

“I don’t like it.”

Ruid was rarely irritated.

Rosalie stared at Ruid for a moment before dropping the spear.

And then I bent down.

“sorry. “You’re off topic.”

“it’s okay.”

Luid passed Rosalie and reached out to the tightly closed castle gate.

He spoke in a cold voice before opening the gate.

“Don’t try to gaslight me clumsily.”

“….”

“If you’re going to do it, do it properly like Irene.”

**

“…230,000 troops dispatched to subdue the north were annihilated. “Currently, it is said that Louis Christopher Windsor has taken over the Larden territory.”

Lucius said nothing to Michael’s report.

Michael continued speaking with a trembling voice.

“It is said that it has reached about 3 miles away from the northern wall of the archipelago…and the court wizard’s calculation is that it will reach the inner city in about two weeks.”

Lucius closed his eyes.

He said in a tired voice.

“So, if Ruid puts his mind to it, it will only take two weeks to take over the empire?”

“…it’s just a guess. Even if you look at the Academy records, Luid Christopher Windsor’s combat ability is only marked as ‘out of standard’. “This is the result of measuring as high as possible, so it will actually take more time.”

“Isn’t he called a genius because he is better than expected? I don’t know if the fifth magic user decides. “We might be able to conquer the empire in two days, not two weeks.”

Even Lucius couldn’t imagine saying that.

If Ruid decides to destroy the empire, it will only take 7 seconds.

“I… Your Majesty. “How dare I say this?”

“It’s okay.”

Michael hesitated and then spoke.

“How about negotiating with Windsor now?”

Michael, the Emperor’s faithful aide, could not think of a way for the Empire to win this war.

As time goes by, only unbelievable news is coming.

It was not because of a brilliant strategy, nor because of the empire’s mistakes or carelessness.

The empire was being completely manipulated by just one young child.

The problem was that the young child was just Windsor’s youngest son.

The youngest son’s power was like this, but I couldn’t even imagine how much power Windsor was hiding.

“It was extremely peaceful until this happened. So, if you give what you have to give….”

Lucius chuckled and laughed out loud without realizing it.

I wasn’t laughing at Michael’s thoughts. It was just funny to hear from someone else’s mouth what I had already thought dozens of times.

When you become an emperor, doesn’t it mean that you can only think of simple thoughts that even your aides can think of?

“The desire to do so may seem like a chimney, but it is a long way off. “Irene would never want that.”

“…Do you really think that Irene Windsor is behind all of this?”

“No one but her. “The Victoria I know would never send her young son to war.”

But that was a question.

What on earth did Irene persuade Victoria to allow Lloyd to participate in the war?

I still vividly remember Victoria looking at me anxiously even when I was walking alone.

Lucius couldn’t understand – but

understanding didn’t change anything.

“that…”

Michael clenched his molars.

Lucius asked calmly.

“What did you say about the situation in Larden Territory?”

“It is said that among the 1,000 soldiers stationed there, the death toll was counted as 1.”

“I guess so. “After annihilating 230,000 people, we can no longer expect warmth from that child… What?”

Lucius’ eyes widened as he listened quietly.

“What did you say just now?”

“…There was only one death in Larden Territory. “They must have thought they had control, so they just passed by.”

“So there was no unnecessary killing…”

Lucius made an expression of great realization.

‘Is there still a hole to clean up?’

Empires do not fall.

No matter how strong Ruid is or how strong Windsor is, that is an immutable fact.

Wouldn’t an empire that has been around for a thousand years have a secret trick?

If he used ‘that’, he was confident that he would be able to overcome this crisis even if his life could not be preserved.

But-

Lucius wanted to do something with his power.

The method just occurred to me.

“Academy.”

“yes?”

“Yes, there was that.”

Lucius jumped up.

I hurriedly got dressed and prepared to go out.

“Summon the academy students right now. No, summon all professors, not just students. The same goes for former president Clifford.”

“You mean right now? But… order to disperse.”

Just this morning, Lucius issued an order to disband the Imperial Academy.

It was a choice to protect important imperial resources.

“Give the order to return as soon as possible! And prepare the carriage immediately!”

As Lucius shouted urgently, Michael came to his senses and stood up.

“yes! “I will prepare immediately. What is our destination?”

Lucius said with sad eyes.

“I’m going to the academy.”
