Chapter 26
‘Why did this happen like this?’
Ruid’s eyes were blurry as he looked at the classroom that was half in shambles.
“President.”
“Noob top, how many can you do?”
Clifford was excited. It seems that he was so absorbed in the magic that he couldn’t even see his surroundings.
Ruid nodded towards Catherine, who was half turned to stone.
“I don’t think that’s the time.”
“Yes?”
Only then did Clifford look around. The room was in deep silence.
“Did something happen?”
Catherine said with a stern expression.
“Damon Kairos used magic indoors.”
“What’s wrong with using magic in the classroom?”
“That’s not it…!”
Katherine pointed in Damon’s direction.
“They said they used magic on people.”
“what?”
Clifford followed Catherine’s hand at the unexpected words.
Damon was there with his arms crossed in an arrogant pose.
Clifford’s expression hardened.
“You used magic on people maliciously?”
“yes.”
Catherine looked triumphant.
Clifford was the one who even considered expulsion for using magic once.
However, since I wrote it in front of the president, it is an additional shameful crime.
I had no doubt that he would be severely punished.
…The thought was clearly visible, so Ruid thought to himself.
‘Probably not.’
Ruid, who knew Kairos well, declared that as long as he didn’t kill anyone, there wouldn’t be any problem.
Yes, this is the Imperial Academy and
he was a member of the royal family.
“Is it true? “Prince Damon.”
Clifford raised his large body and approached Damon.
Damon spoke in a relaxed manner.
“This body is just an interesting theory to use. “Aren’t you also just as absorbed in the experiment?”
“I probably told you last time not to make a fuss. “If it’s true that magic was used on people, I won’t just let it go.”
Damon shrugged.
“What is the fuss? Are you sure you believe the words of that lowly thing rather than me, a member of the royal family?”
Clifford sighed and touched his chin.
Come to think of it, Catherine Ovillian has already made an unreasonable claim once.
He looked at Catherine.
Catherine said indignantly.
“Everyone saw it! “He used magic on Hannah as if he were conducting an experiment!”
Damon chuckled.
“It’s just that she was in the space where this body used magic.”
“lie! “You definitely aimed correctly!”
“Well, it was a reflection of the fact that the place where I wanted to use magic disturbed my spirit by asking a shallow question. so? Did the magic finally work? “There’s no harm, right?”
Catherine clenched her fists and trembled.
“On the contrary, it is something to be thankful for.”
Damon naturally spread his hands. His eyes were full of interest.
“I could have killed him, but I didn’t. I am the lifesaver of that lowly citizen. Isn’t that right?”
The atmosphere of someone who has lived his entire life as a ruler.
A unique tone of voice that says no objections will be tolerated.
The meaning contained in the tone was not important.
The crowd was already overwhelmed by Damon.
“What is my fault? If you have any objections, please tell me. “Anyone is fine.”
Most students didn’t even want to make eye contact with Damon.
Damon had an obvious sneer on his face.
Ruid was impressed by that shamelessness.
He is truly a picturesque villain.
‘What are you doing Justin?? Don’t target him.’
But our protagonist had collapsed. Ruid was disappointed.
“Such… such unreasonableness! President!”
Clifford was looking at Damon clearly.
He already knew the answer. However, Damon Kairos, no one else, was dangerous in many ways.
‘I’m hunting that bastard.’
Unless it is clearly determined that a line has been crossed, moving it is likely to have a negative impact on the entire academy.
There were complex political issues involved.
I had to be careful.
“Is there any solid evidence that Prince Damon used magic on people?”
“of course! “Everyone here saw it.”
Catherine glanced at the people, trying to find agreement.
But everyone avoided Catherine’s gaze.
Catherine’s expression became perplexed.
Fear was the cause.
Damon was not a person who made common sense decisions and acted accordingly.
Just clean it up if you don’t like it, and kill it if it bothers you.
Everyone here knew that.
“You…”
Catherine looked at Hannah with shaking eyes.
“Aren’t you supposed to testify?”
Hannah lowered her head.
“I… didn’t see anything.”
Catherine’s eyes were filled with shock.
Justin took courage in response to Damon’s one-sided outburst. Wouldn’t that make you afraid of the crazy prince?
But what came back was a look away.
“What is this trivial skit?”
Damon’s eyes changed to see bugs. The slight interest that had existed only a moment ago faded.
“Is the loyalty of low-income people only that high? “You have pride that makes you even worse than a bug.”
“President.”
Catherine took a deep breath. I realized the other day that nothing can be solved just by shouting.
“Here, if you see Justin passed out. “Please don’t act like a fool.”
Clifford said coldly.
“Did he collapse while casting too much magic, or was it really Prince Damon’s attack? “At least bring evidence to judge.”
“I am a witness… and.”
Catherine looked at Lloyd.
From Ruid’s point of view, his eyes looked very earnest.
“…Prince Louis saw it.”
It is a testimony that is more certain than anything else than the testimony of the common people’s enthusiasm.
That was Luid’s testimony.
Catherine thought it was the only way to turn this situation around.
“Even if Prince Louis saw it, wouldn’t that also be effective as testimony?”
Clifford answered immediately.
“Of course there is. “Windsor’s remarks are heavy.”
“Hoo, are you saying that the Imperial Academy is holding the royal family accountable?”
“Yes, Prince Damon. “According to Academy law, we cannot dare to accuse the prince of a crime, but we should at least file a complaint to the imperial family through legitimate channels.”
Only the emperor can be held accountable for the sins of the royal family.
It was the law of the supreme empire.
Damon clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it.
“That is a big mistake, President. Do you think His Majesty will listen to you?”
Clifford ignored Damon and asked Luid.
“Lude Christopher. “Tell me what you saw.”
It was as if the decision-making power had now passed to Ruid.
Ruid blinked and thought.
‘how will we do it.’
It is true that I don’t like the commoner named ‘Hannah’.
I felt vague anger and a sense of inferiority from the question, which was unpleasant.
I also don’t like the fact that he doesn’t want to say a word to himself, but he doesn’t even tell Damon that he was harmed.
Justin and Catherine also don’t have any particularly good feelings.
Regardless of whether it is true or not.
Because of kids like that, is it the right decision to have an affair with the royal family?
But—
I didn’t necessarily want to lie.
“…Even if the first magic was an experiment, it was clearly an attack after that. “Because we used the power of the royal family to suppress it.”
“I used my powers-”
Damon chuckled.
“Because that lowly lowlife has shown hostility towards this body. The crime of insulting the imperial family is summary execution. As I said before, you should be grateful just for being saved. “You don’t think the Academy’s rules are above the Empire’s laws, do you?”
Ruid looked at Damon hesitantly.
That confidence comes from the confidence that you cannot punish yourself no matter what happens.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Although it may be a bit shameful, Ruid decided to use his ace up his sleeve.
“I don’t know that and I don’t care. Sir, I will speak directly to His Majesty the Emperor. “Damon ruined my presentation.”
As if he hadn’t expected that, Damon’s pupils shook greatly.
**
Panthesium Empire Imperial Palace, Secret Passage.
In front of him, a large man and a handsome man were having a conversation.
“your majesty…! “You’re just leaving without an escort!”
“Think of the size of the Lord who cannot even enter this secret passage.”
Guardian Knight, Galahad Ryan was embarrassed when he saw his huge body.
“Wouldn’t the woman at the Furt estate know that Sir Ryan is?”
Furt Territory was a small territory at the southern tip of the empire. Another nickname is ‘The End of the Empire’.
The emperor shook his head and turned his robe over.
“Well, then, even if it’s another guard…”
“My knights are loyal and skilled, but they have no talent for acting. “Didn’t you get caught once last time?”
There was already a precedent. Galahad, who received a look of great distrust from the emperor, got down on one knee.
“Those people-! “I broke each leg of my leg!”
The emperor covered his ears as Galahad’s voice seemed to explode.
“noisy. You’re noisy, Sir Galahad. Are you planning on bursting Jim’s eardrums?”
“S-sorry.”
The emperor gave a stern warning.
“I understand loyalty, but leave it at that. “This is an order.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Galahad bit his molars. He bowed his head more deeply and shouted.
“Just let me know where you are going. “I will always keep an eye on you!”
“Auction house.”
“Yes, I understand… Yes?”
Galahad raised his head. There was a lot of absurdity.
“Your Majesty. “Excuse me… I don’t know why I’m going to the auction house…”
“I’m going to buy a crystal ball containing my friend’s son.”
“…Are you talking about Prince Louis?”
Galahad recalled the ‘story’ that had recently been making a fuss in the imperial court.
A story about how a genius from the Windsor family presented a new paradigm in the world of magic.
However, he refuses to contribute to academia, and will only allow use of the information to those who heard the briefing session in person and those who watched the video containing the lecture that will be distributed in the future.
“That old man said he would release one a year to make sure the money was properly raised. I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to go in person, even if it means putting off my busy state affairs.”
Galahad was full of questions.
“…Was your Majesty also interested in magic?”
Hyun Hwang’s specialty was swordsmanship, not magic.
“Would you be interested in magic? “I just want to see my nephew, whom I’ve seen since he was a baby, working hard at something.”
Galahad was dumbfounded. But showing that on your face is a huge disrespect. Instead, it roared.
“your majesty! If you need that, I, Galahad, will definitely get it for you! Please believe me!”
“There is only one crystal ball in this auction. I don’t know when I’ll solve it next time. I don’t even know what that senile old man thinks. But one thing is certain.”
The emperor’s red eyes became serious.
“She is coming. “You’re such a crazy bitch that you can’t handle it.”
**
Windsor family castle.
“You must have heard the news.”
White background.
In contrast, a woman wearing a black uniform looked out the window.
The snow falling on Windsor Street gave an impression so cold that it was hard to believe she would create it.
In front of him, a blonde woman wearing a uniform with a similar appearance got down on one knee and answered.
“yes. “Matriarch.”
It was Irene Windsor, the official successor to the Duke of Windsor.
“It must be a long time since I went to the island.”
The Duke of Windsor spoke as if it were confirmed fact.
Irene spoke with a smile.
“Yes, but – there will be no problem. “I will bring you whatever the head of the family wants.”
“There can be no mistakes.”
The Duke of Windsor spoke sternly.
“Be sure to get the video of my son. “I will not allow it to fall into someone else’s hands, even if it is the emperor.”
So – the competition for the crystal ball containing Ruid’s image.
It started to head in a direction that no one could follow.
