Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy - Chapter 127



127 – Ruid’s Choice (3)

“Earl of Queensberry. Calm down.”

“It looks real! Now my daughter is dead!”

The Imperial Family.

Count Pluto Queensberry kicked off his round table and rose.

In short, it is because of the death of Sophia Queensberry.

“It’s rude in front of Your Majesty!”

“Rude? Do you think I can see something like that now!”

Pluto, who bit his molar, strongly protested to Lucius.

“Your Majesty! Please allow me to lead the soldiers and set foot on the land of the North right now!”

Lucius put his hands together and bit his lip lightly.

One of the students who went to the north for class died.

Of course, that’s the successor of the Margrave of Queensberry, who protects the empire from barbarians on the outside.

Sophia Queensberry.

If it was another small noble, it would have been possible to compromise with a suitable reward.

It’s a sound that won’t work against that upright Count Pluto.

The Earl of Queensberry was also a family with the second largest number of enlisted soldiers after the Duke of Windsor, as a mission is a mission.

Turning my back was a painful mistake.

“Sir Chiron.”

Lucius looked at the commander of the 1st Imperial Knight, the decisive cause of this meeting.

“Yes. Your majesty.”

“Is it absolutely true that Sophia Queensberry is dead?”

“This is the testimony of Isabella Ronz. We are informed that Sophia Queensberry has died and that we are detaining academy students who have requested to return.”

“Huh… “

“How is that?”

A sigh flowed from the lips of the nobles.

‘This time… I can’t help it.’

Who would believe and follow the imperial family, which does nothing when a nobleman’s son is dead?

Nothing weakened the imperial authority more than that.

It was impossible to hold the House of Windsor accountable.

“I will ask the Duke of Windsor to lay down the head of the knight commander who was in charge at the time and issue a formal statement of apology. I will also issue an imperial decree to free the imprisoned students.”

This is the bottom line.

Lucius thought so.

“Looking at the situation-“

“I called because I thought it would be impossible for Irene and the prince to continue to exist.”

“I apologize for being arbitrary.”

Ruby and Rosalie bowed their heads to Victoria.

However, he didn’t look apologetic at all.

Victoria didn’t particularly care.

“Well done. So, what about Irene?”

“I was destroying monsters with the prince.”

“As far as I know, there are 120,000 of them. Irene’s strength is about 80% gone.”

“It takes 15 days to recover. Currently, she is coming this way from the perimeter on her return order.”

“They say that monsters won’t cross over here for about a month.”

“I heard the confirmation directly from Mine, so her reliability is high.”

Not all demons are bad for her.

There are also helpful monsters like Ruby and Rosalie in front of you.

In other words, it is possible to communicate-

Being a being with emotions.

It seems that he came to negotiate with Mine using that point.

As expected, he behaves like an heir to the Windsor family.

‘If it’s that child, he might be able to surpass me.’

“But- the situation is not good.”

“Irene has reported that it is certain that it is a sign of cataclysm.”

“After one month, the cataclysm will almost certainly begin.”

“Maybe it has already started.”

“I see.”

Victoria nodded and walked to her window.

When the curtains were drawn, light came into the only dark square.

Ruby and Rosalie freaked out and took three steps back.

However, she felt an unusual flow of mana and flinched. She stood on either side of Victoria, looking out the window at her.

That Moment—

Whoops!

Far away, I saw a lightning-like light coming down from the sky.

Needless to say, the blue light that was clearly visible even from a distance was Ruid’s magical power.

“At this rate—the 5th magic will be leveled soon. The highest level that no one has reached.”

Her hands gripped Victoria’s curtains.

“A kid who is only 12 years old.”

“Congratulations.”

“With Ruid-sama’s skills, even a cataclysm will pass unscathed.”

But Victoria said with a straight face.

“No, even if a catastrophe occurs, Ruid will not step forward. I will make it.”

Rosalie’s expressionless eyebrows rose slightly.

After a moment of silence, Rosalie spoke.

“May I ask why you are so protective of Ruid-sama?”

“Rosalie. It’s rude.”

But Rosalie looked at Victoria without wavering. It was her face that said she must hear an answer.

Victoria looked at her and thought for a moment.

– I swear. As for this child, I won’t let him meet the same fate as you. So, so please…….

It was not a very pleasant memory.

That day. The day her own husband and Louis de’s father died.

Victoria just made up her mind. As for Louis de, he would not expose himself to any danger.

“That child… It’s just that she is. She does nothing – sleeps, just smiles. I want nothing but that.”

Exactly, I want you to do just that.

She said to Louis, ‘Do what you want to do,’ though she did.

It’s a lie.

Even if Ruid wants the empire to perish – he will do it.

However, it was unacceptable for Ruid to step forward.

Victoria wouldn’t do anything to Louis.

Sometimes my heart fills up with mana to the point of stuffiness, and the last line is to use magic on the monsters in the defense line to warm up the body.

Other than that, nothing is allowed.

“Just wrapping is not the answer.”

Ruby looked at Rosalie and Victoria in a cold sweat. She looked at Rosalie in particular and she even thought, ‘What’s wrong with her?’

Victoria smiled.

“Maybe. I will not be a good parent.”

“…… Do you know If the opponent is a monster, Irene-sama too. No, even Victoria-sama, there is no one who can eliminate monsters more easily than Ruid-sama.”

Rosalie showed subtle anger.

It wasn’t anger directed at Victoria.

It was anger towards the word ‘monster’ itself.

“You promised to eliminate all monsters in this world. That’s the price of using Ruby unnie and me as maids.”

“I keep my promise.”

Victoria said firmly.

“However, it is not just Ruid who does it.”

“Why is there an easy way… !”

Don’t ask more than once.

Speaking of the twin maid’s greatest competence, Victoria would answer without hesitation.

They were competent maids.

But now that it comes out like this…….

‘It must be that difficult to accept.’

She fully understands them, but there are things that each person cannot concede.

For Victoria, it was about Louis.

Even if Ruid himself didn’t want that.

“Big. I have one more thing to report.”

Ruby, who doesn’t like the drab atmosphere, brought up her words to evoke her atmosphere.

She brought her up because she thought it was a funny story, but-

Ruby thought so, and none of what she said was funny.

‘That’s the point.’

Ruby felt better at the thought of making that icy Victoria laugh.

“Tell me.”

“An envoy has come from the imperial family. The rest were sent back and only one lion was left in the mansion.”

“I see.”

Victoria replied as calmly as ever.

But after about 5 minutes-

From noble mtl dot com

“…… Isn’t it common sense to usually say that first?”

She replied as if Victoria was absurd.

Rosalie, who was slightly agitated, regained her composure before she knew it and spoke politely.

“I didn’t know much about human common sense.”

“Rosalie was wrong. Ruby did nothing wrong.”

FYI, what she just said was Ruby. Rosalie glared at her immature sister of her own.

Victoria said with her feeble sigh.

“Call me.”

Rosalie immediately turned around and took a step behind her.

Her figure disappeared without a trace.

After blinking her eyes about three times, Rosalie appeared carrying a nobleman like a bag.

Ruby laughed softly, covering her mouth. For she seemed to be a human being dressed in rather ridiculous clothes from her point of view.

Of course, the clothes her lion wore were the latest fashion and luxurious clothes in the Empire.

Rosalie roughly threw the nobleman to the floor.

“Hee, hee hee. Hey, what are you doing!”

“Shut up, human. If you don’t want that trivial lifeline cut right now.”

Rosalie stared at her coldly.

Victoria stopped Rosalie from doing that.

“Rosalie. Cool down for a while and come.”

Rosalie bit her molars and clicked her tongue. She turned and disappeared.

The man flinched and turned his gaze to Victoria. I got up from my seat, tidying up my clothes.

“I am the representative of the Imperial delegation, Count of Romania. I have come to deliver your Majesty’s orders.”

“Speak.”

“First of all, before we get into the main topic, speaking of our Romanian family, we have a high reputation enough to be selected for this delegation… ….”

“Start with the main topic, tell me.”

“…… Two things. One is that the Duke of Windsor is unfairly imprisoning students at the Imperial Academy. Another was the death of Sophia Queensberry.”

“What is the opinion of the imperial family?”

“First, we have to free the Imperial Academy students.”

“Dismissed. I don’t want to take away my son’s toys.”

Romania opened her eyes wide.

“Now, toys?”

“But let me tell you. Tell me next.”

“For the death of Sophia Queensberry, the Duke of Windsor must be held accountable.”

“I will take responsibility.”

Victoria nodded.

“Tell me what goods you want.”

“No, I don’t need goods.”

“Then tell me what you want.”

“I want the head of the Knights of Windsor who stood guard at the time. The Earl of Queensberry said he couldn’t understand otherwise. This is a very minimal requirement.”

Victoria answered without hesitation.

“I refuse.”

“… !”

“Go back. The words are over.”

Of course, the Count of Romania could not be asked here.

This is the representative position of the delegation that I managed to obtain through forced efforts. It would be difficult if we did not achieve results here. Because the empire is pragmatic.

“This is not a light incident!”

Victoria ignored it and tried to move on.

Romania felt the impatience of Victoria as she grew distant.

So, she had to put a topic in her mouth that she might respond to.

“Especially! Louise Christopher Windsor’s responsibility is great! You must firmly ask for your sins…….”

Victoria was by Romania’s side before she knew it.

I was definitely keeping my eyes on Victoria’s back.

“… !”

Romania’s expression was tinged with astonishment.

“You crossed the line. Count of Romania.”

Took.

Romania’s head rolled off.

Romania’s body collapsed, with no top on her neck.

Victoria stared at her corpse with a cold gaze.

Still expressionless, but the corners of her eyes lifted a little higher than usual. Proof that she was pretty upset.

Victoria went back to her window and took a deep breath to suppress her anger.

“Ruby.”

“Yes.”

Killed a lion. This is a pretty cumbersome thing to do. But there were no regrets.

“How long will it take to destroy an empire?”

“A week at most.”

Victoria opened her mouth with her calm eyes. This question was simply of interest.

“Assuming that Ruid participates in the war, how long will it take?”

“I can’t make a quick decision, and it’s just a guess… About how long it will take for Ruid-sama to cast the great magic that can destroy the empire.”

Ruby briefly tossed it.

“Seven seconds.”
