Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy - Chapter 125



125 – Ruid’s Choice (1)

The illusion was shattered like a midsummer night’s dream.

The first emperor who became the ashes was seen with his chin still intact.

Ruid lowered her head while holding her head.

Her head was confused.

– Destroy the empire.

A voice that still sounds vivid.

Louis closed her eyes tightly. The aftermath of her 5th magic completely hit her.

The caster of the 5th magic is not Ruid. All of this was Delrin’s magic. Above all, borrowing the magic of the heart of the ‘Blue Dragon’.

Delrin’s earnestness remains in her heart. Ruid knew instinctively. It will take a very long time to get rid of this afterglow.

‘That trash dares.’

Even if you take away the aftermath of magic- Compassion for Delrin. Disgust toward the first emperor rose up.

It was a feeling close to instinct. The influence of ‘ancestors’ on ‘descendants’ was greater than expected.

Louise opened her words somewhat haphazardly.

“… If it was Irene, would you have destroyed the empire without hesitation?”

“I guess so. The child would love it again. I have a good cause.”

Victoria thought for a moment and then nodded.

“You must have reached the island by now riding a wyvern.”

“Amelia will be against it.”

“Yes. Amelia is a good kid. Then, how about Louie?”

“I… ….”

It is not difficult to make Delrin’s wish come true.

As she said, she has enough power. She doesn’t even have to attack directly, the Empire will self-destruct if the northern defenses are opened.

But……

‘People are innocent now.’

If someone asks you that you deserve to die because of the sins of your ancestors, Ruid will be unfair.

Because she is not guilty of anything. It was the same. The current emperor, Lucius, did some rather nasty things, but he did nothing.

She asked Louis, who had been silent for a long time, in a trembling voice.

“I don’t know. What should I do?”

Then, Victoria spoke.

“Louis, look at me.”

Ruid finally raised her head.

Victoria was holding both of her own hands and making eye contact with her.

Her blue eyes were firm and unwavering.

“There is no reason for you to choose.”

“… ….”

“You are not yet at the age to be responsible for something.”

Victoria stroked her louie with her smile and stood up.

Louise looked up at Victoria. She looked exceptionally tall.

“Don’t worry too much. Louis just, just let her stay like this.”

Her desire to be honest was like a chimney.

‘…… It’s not a problem that can be solved by postponing it to someone like now.’

She is also able to use the 5th magic herself.

The only person who knows the details of the future that neither Victoria nor Irene knows is herself.

Who can I put this off?

Her sense of responsibility was Ruid, but this time she was different.

‘I have to choose.’

“If.”

Ruid took a deep breath and asked seriously.

“What will Archmage Delrin show up as our enemy?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Huh?”

“…… If Delrin is alive, what do you think we will do if she turns out to be our enemy?”

“If you don’t tell me exactly, I can’t give you a proper answer.”

After hesitating for a moment, Ruid said ‘confirmed information’.

“Like a warlock resurrecting Delrin.”

“That’s definitely a difficult problem. Louie. But.”

Victoria approached the emperor without hesitation. Clinging her left hand, she reached out for the emperor.

Bang!

A blast sound was heard, and the remains of the emperor were shattered.

“… !”

Louis opened her eyes wide.

Victoria looked at Louis and said coldly.

“There is only one way Windsor should behave.”

From Ruid’s point of view, it was the first time he had seen a cold appearance.

“Only we live for ourselves. Justice, cause, cause. Windsor has no such lofty duty.”

Victoria didn’t say anything, but she seemed to be saying this.

Are these answers sufficient?

**

Coming out of the grave, she walked with Victoria holding her hand.

The barracks that had been set on fire came into view in the midst of the blizzard-blown landscape.

‘It is not an easy matter to judge. It’s important to watch first…. Let’s act normally.’

Ruid postponed her choice.

However, the procrastination was not because he was lazy or bothered, as he had been until now.

There is something to see.

How far did the episodes of the original novel go?

In particular, we had to figure out how far the warlock’s movements had progressed.

I can’t make a hasty decision without seeing it.

First of all.

“… Mama. Keep it a secret from Irene noona. And, I want you to leave this job to me.”

Let’s be careful with Irene, the most dangerous person in this business.

Irene has an inexhaustible sense of humor, so she had to be extra careful.

“Sure.”

Victoria nodded her head with her nonchalant face.

She was very good.

‘Come to think of it… ‘

She remembered the most important thing she hadn’t asked.

“… What do you think Mama?”

“Huh?”

“I don’t think you know what Mama is thinking. As the Duke of Windsor, what do you think? This day.”

Victoria said looking straight ahead.

“If Delrin is truly our ancestor, it is only natural that we avenge her grudge that has been passed down through her generations. Because our strength, and the life of this northern country, was only possible thanks to our ancestors.”

To Louis, who was surprised, Victoria spoke kindly.

“However, this is the Duke of Windsor’s idea.”

Victoria took a piece of her hair off Louis’ cheek.

“As a parent of a child, I don’t want to choose too much. War is crueler than you think.”

Ruid said in a small voice.

“You don’t have to break your actions as the Duke of Windsor because of me.”

Victoria said playfully.

“Getting rid of an empire is not a must-do. I think I sometimes forget it, but the Duke of Windsor is also an aristocrat of the Empire.”

“Yeah, that’s by the way.”

“In other words, half and half, Louis. Neither can be said to be the best. Oh, you didn’t really answer the question.”

She arrived at the barracks. She saw the knight running. Victoria stroked Louis and smiled softly, reassuring him.

“I just want my Louis to live a happier life. These are my thoughts.”

Ruid suddenly had that idea.

‘Why does Victoria love me so much?’

It was on a different level from how he treated Irene and Amelia.

It was the same even if I put it off with the memory of ‘lazy Ruid’. Victoria had been extremely devoted to Louis since he was first born.

It’s just ‘because that’s what the novel’s settings are like… ‘ To think.

‘I don’t know anything yet. This world.’

Didn’t you know that the power of the Windsor family came from the ‘Blue Dragon’ and ‘Delrin’?

“Hey, hey. Vicky! Did you finish your mission well!”

Vincent covered a long distance in one breath and asked in a rigid posture.

“Yes.”

When Victoria replied nonchalantly, she spoke quickly.

“There is an emergency, and I will report to you as soon as possible!”

“Tell me.”

“…… Academy student. Sophia Queensberry.”

Gulp, Vincent said nervously as he swallowed.

“He died.”

**

“Hey~ What happened this time?”

Garrison of the 1st Imperial Knights.

In the office of the head of the Imperial Knights, Chiron de Heaven, Lilith, who was wearing an overly revealing outfit, spoke chatteringly.

“Oh my God, no matter how different my body was, I couldn’t even resist the slightest bit?”

“Lilith.”

Chiron looked through the papers and spoke in a shrill voice.

“Keep your voice down. This is the inside of the empire.”

“Huh. Yes. The noble knight commander who called the courtesan in broad daylight.”

As Lilith spoke sarcasticly, Chiron’s eyebrows twitched.

“Isn’t it inevitable? With the last banquet hall incident, I managed to make a hole through which the black magician could enter, but it is difficult to break through the imperial family’s security even if the barrier is excluded.”

“I know you don’t have to say that. But you know, I’ve been curious about Chiron before. How can you not be affected by the warlock’s barrier?”

No matter how long I waited, Chiron did not answer.

I just looked at the papers. Lilith clicked her tongue.

“Still a boring guy with a lot of secrets.”

He looked up.

“This is quite unexpected. One caution is that you, the greatest of the Seven Deadly Sins, will take it soon after starting your mission.”

It was almost miraculous that he was trying to change the topic so openly.

But Chiron is always like this. Reluctantly, Lilith decided to match the rhythm.

“I couldn’t help it. Because it was worth it.”

Chiron nodded slowly.

“Certainly, you are right. It was something I had to do at any risk. Is it really true? You found the tomb of the first emperor?”

Lilith said seriously.

“It’s an obvious fact. I’ve seen it with my own two eyes, so there’s no doubt.”

“… Is it.”

Chiron’s eyebrows twitched.

“Even if you tear it to death-“

“If you’re going to tell me the same cliches you always do, then I’ll just go?”

Lilith said with a yawn. Chiron put down her pen and looked at Lilith.

“That is difficult.”

Lilith shook his arm from side to side.

“Then let’s get down to business quickly. My soul’s secret technique failed, so I’m not in good shape either.”

“I guess I should go. Lilith. Do you remember the location?”

“It’s good to quit.”

Lilith said with a stiff face.

“They are complete monsters. Especially the Duke of Windsor is incredibly strong. It cannot be considered human.”

A moment of cold silence flows.

Chiron nodded her head in agreement.

“I see. Then I will ask you the next question. Who made you like that?”

“Ah. I didn’t tell you this.”

Lilith excitedly told the story of her death.

“It was a very big fox. Louis… Greatness. She is the familiar of Little Young master, but I thought she was just an ordinary arctic fox, but she wasn’t. She had nine tails and-“

“What?”

Chiron’s eyes trembled.

“Just… What did you say? Did I mention she has nine tails?”

“Uh… however? Are there any problems?”

It is extremely rare for Chiron to reveal her feelings.

Lilith couldn’t help but be a bit flustered.

“…… That traitor b*tch was on the move. When the hell was Lark’s seal broken?”

Chiron’s face was distorted like a piece of paper.

Lilith was puzzled. She couldn’t stand questions. She tried to ask in detail, but she couldn’t.

“… !”

It was because Chiron’s murder for an instant made Lilith’s body tremble.

Lilith’s whole body stiffened. However, she didn’t go far. Chiron took her life away and she said with a calm face.

“I’ll have to revise my plans.”

“Guy, a change of plan?”

Lilith laughed awkwardly, not wanting to be found out.

“Wasn’t that turning the islands into a sea of fire?”

“It was meant to be, but there was no need for us to come forward.”

“Huh?”

“Lilith. It means that the mission you did is enough.”

“What is that… Is it a sound?”

Lilith’s expression hardened slightly.

“Is it because of me?”

“I am not blaming you. Did you say Sophia?”

Chiron looked at the papers again.

“An academy student died in the North. Besides, the Queensberry is a pretty prestigious family. It’s a pity not to use this. It is also a very good cause to agitate the aristocrats of the stupid system.”

“…… Chiron, you are smart.”

Lilith spoke as if she didn’t know.

And then she seemed to be thinking of something, but she hurriedly got up from her seat.

“That, I remembered something urgent, so I’ll go.”

Chiron raised her head to give her thanks to Lilith for providing her with very good information.

However, she had already disappeared. After furrowing his eyebrows, Chiron closed the papers.

She closed her eyes for a moment and enjoyed the afterglow, then took something out of her arms.

One of the three holy relics.

Delrin’s Tears.

“The day to meet you is not far away.”

Chiron muttered as she carefully swept her small decision.

“Our master. Source of all magic. The beginning of black magic.”

He smiled with joy.

“The great archmage, Delrin.”
