How To Survive as a Crazy Prince - Chapter 135



“This is awful. I was expecting to be able to torture you.”

“… … You worked hard, Bocchan.”

Fromm and Katyusha, who arrived after the death of the woman, Anastasia, said with a wry smile.

“Eup, Woo-wook… … !”

Tarius, who had been chasing me from behind, looked pale and vomited when he saw the female corpse and me covered in blood. To say that they are surprisingly weak, but in fact, it is strange that Fromm and Katyusha remain calm even after seeing them like this.

“I never thought it would end like this. As Fromm said, I wanted to torture him even more.”

I replied while wiping my blood with the water that Eugene created with the magic of water. The splashes on the face and skin could be wiped clean, but the smudged uniform could not be helped. The smell of blood makes me feel very uncomfortable.

“Oops. Awesome smell of blood… … . It’s a serious condition… … .”

“All other participants were safely brought back, but this situation… … .”

Shortly after Fromm arrived, Mi-ryung and Dimitri’s voices came from behind. Outside the building, the rest of the participants could be heard humming.

“They both did well. With this, the Colosseum is really over.”

I finally caught my breath and looked back at the two. Mi-ryung flinched at the sight of me covered in blood even after wiping it off, and Dimitri made an expression that he didn’t know what to say.

“Once you won. Everyone suffered a lot. I’ll explain in a bit more detail.”

I said with a wry smile. But no one, including me, had time to rejoice.

Before coming here, I asked Mi-ryung and Dimitri to look for other participants who must have been confused and bring them back.

Fortunately or unfortunately, most of the participants were able to gather easily because outsiders broke in and killed 4 people, and they felt fear rather than motivation when they said that if they killed the outsiders, they would win.

Of course, there were some who went into a riot or were injured earlier in the process, but thanks to Fromm’s hard work, they were able to manage it well.

So now, all the participants, including me, were waiting in the back of the building where the 5 corpses were.

‘Everyone was very frightened.’

It would be noisy if there were a lot of kids like this, but it wasn’t like that at all. It was as quiet as a dead mouse.

It’s probably because of the horrible atmosphere of the scene that emanates from the building and me standing there smelling blood.

‘Even so, I don’t think there’s any need to feel awkward with you guys who were on the same team.’

However, Mi-ryung and Dimitri were restless and it was frustrating to be quiet. Katyusha was originally quiet, so there was nothing I could do about it.

“What will happen now?”

While I was feeling so frustrated, the person who spoke to me was Eugene.

“well. The game is over, so why don’t you come pick me up?”

“I know that.”

“If you know, don’t ask.”

I don’t know why you’re talking With this guy, the catch ball of conversation doesn’t always work out properly.

“I asked about the future.”

“Did you even think about the future? It’s surprising.”

“… … What is Parabellum?”

Ignoring my sarcasm, Eugene asked. I paused for a moment and put together the information I had learned about Parabellum in my head.

“You think I know everything just because I am?”

It was impossible to clearly summarize them in one sentence. I wasn’t in the mood to explain it in detail, so I answered in moderation.

“I thought so. Didn’t you say you died once?”

“I am also blank on Parabellum. I didn’t even know there were guys like that before.”

“I see.”

When I replied in irritation, Yujin stared at me in surprise and smiled.

“I’m surprised you don’t even know.”

“Why are you suddenly upset? I’m not in the mood to accept that right now, am I?”

I was starting to get really annoyed. Just as Eugene was about to say something like that, he heard a train whistle.

“He is coming.”

“okay. I was waiting for you.”

It was the appearance of the Colosseum officials.

A platform improvised by those who possess the magical power of trees.

“Comrades. Everyone did well.”

Standing above it, the commander of the corps, Alexei, said. The participants were confused about how to react to the sudden appearance of Alexei.

“joy.”

At that time, the reaction of the highest person becomes the standard. I snorted and expressed my displeasure, and that reaction became the norm and everyone wasn’t particularly cheering.

“All, everyone. Didn’t the corps commander come? I understand you’re tired, but… … ”

“it’s okay. stay still.”

The sympathy was restless at the sullen reaction and tried to set the mood, but was distorted by Alexei’s assertion. you’ve worked hard. I have no intention of sympathizing.

“You responded well to unexpected situations. The future of Iron Blood can rest assured.”

An awkward silence lingered among the participants at Alexei’s words, which were difficult to determine whether they were compliments or sarcasm. Some of them began to frown and show obvious hostility.

“If the reality of Sangvis best academies is to allow outsiders in and leave the cleaning up to the students, then we will have no choice but to change the future of Sangvis.”

Of course, those who harbor hostility include me.

“… … It was a sudden rule change. It is careless.”

As if he couldn’t completely ignore my words while looking up from the front, Alexei replied bitterly, pretending not to. The words say it’s disrespectful, but I can’t feel any regret from the arrogant expression.

It is already clear that he will be behind this incident. From the rule change, it was enforced by Alexei’s order, and the appearance of a person disguised as an Amerian may have been to deal with Mustafa somehow.

Thinking like that makes me angry. The attitude that it doesn’t matter if a few students die for their own purposes is disgusting.

“I hope you don’t look at me that way, Mikhail-kun. This is full of unexpected things even for me.”

When I glared at him fiercely, Alexei smiled as if he was troubled and said, I glared at Alexei and then looked away as if to jeer at him.

“… … There are many things I want to say to you, but I’m sorry for keeping you here for so long. Everyone get ready to go back.”

Perhaps he decided that it was pointless to make any more noise in this atmosphere. The participants noticed each other and followed me as I started walking towards the train ahead.

“It would have been nice to incite and boo at least.”

“I agree.”

After a long time, Eugene and I had a common understanding.

We got on the train going back to the knights academy. The atmosphere on the train was tired and untidy.

It was because the four blanks that had been filled in at first were reminding me of the fact that it was at the Colosseum.

“… … those four You said you were attacked by an outsider?”

However, unlike when they were waiting, conversations began to come and go between the war veterans who felt relieved that they were on their way back.

“You said you were an Amerian woman, Maseok.”

“Did you come in to avenge the nation?”

“Because the stadium was said to be where the Amer people lived in the past. Maybe I’ve been waiting for a moment like this.”

Except for what Maseok said, various speculations were exchanged among the participants who did not know the details. I have a feeling that things will get boring.

“If it’s an Amerian, Mustafa’s swordsmanship instructor is also an Amerian.”

‘… … It happens like this too. I’m going to die of trouble.’

I didn’t want to do anything because my head was pounding at the smell of blood coming from my body, but I had to say something again. It’s the same as when you came.

“She was not Amerian.”

The moment I tried to stand up with that thought,

“Don’t spread false rumors. If you’re not on the scene, you’re shutting up.”

Yujin got up first and said in a voice full of annoyance. A heavy silence hung over the train.

“Ha, but the magic stones were said to be Amerians. If so, aren’t they Amerians?”

It was a 3rd grade participant who brought up a careless remark. I felt like I wanted to refute the words of Eugene, who was a commoner in the lower grade.

“Have you seen it yourself? I’ve seen it myself. She disguised herself as an Amer, but she was not Amer.”

Eugene responded to what the 3rd year participant said. I get a little annoyed at using polite words for seniors while using short words for me, the crown prince.

“Why would you want to disguise yourself as an Amer?”

“I don’t know about that either. But it’s true.”

“You’re close with Mustafa’s swordsmanship instructor. Isn’t that what you’re trying to cover?”

However, the 3rd year participants continued to question Eugene’s words. It was an atmosphere where the other students also felt that the words of the 3rd year participants were plausible rather than those of Eugene.

Quaang!

“… … ?!”

I got annoyed and slammed the window. The shattered windows shattered on the landscape outside and the cold wind blew through my hair.

“No.”

While everyone was paying attention to me, I spoke quietly.

“yes yes?

“Should I say it one more time? It wasn’t.”

I spoke in a low voice, but clearly.

“Or are you saying you can’t believe me, Year 3?”

“Oh, that, that, that. I’m sorry!!”

The 3rd grade participant bowed 90 degrees and apologized.

“… … It is good that the person concerned is persuasive.”

“Mustafa is the one I brought. I can’t let you get caught up in annoying misunderstandings.”

After exchanging words with Eugene, I looked out the window. The wind was too strong.

“Dimitri, can I change seats?”

“oh… … . All right.”

I was only going to make a lot of noise, but the broken windows are bad.

We returned to the knight academy. The awards ceremony at the Colosseum has been postponed to the next day.

“… … Thank you for your valuable testimony. I will deliver it well.”

Yujin and I were separately called to the meeting room to report the outline of the incident to the people involved. Unfortunately, Alexei was not there.

‘If I had, I would have been harsh on this case.’

Yujin and I reported about parabellum, but the person in charge only said that they would check it out.

Conversely, it was easy to predict that it might be an attempt to slander Parabellum, that it needed verification, and that there would be no response just by looking at his attitude.

“Four students died, so you’re only responding to that amount?”

“The more you do, the more you need to verify. We are also cautious.”

“Is the other party an important business relationship? Are you saying that interests are more important than students’ lives?”

I thought so, but I don’t like it terribly. Uncomfortable.

How long had he been pouring out vicious words at the person in charge?

“Don’t bully the innocent officer too much, Mikhail.”

There was a man who opened the door of the meeting room and appeared.

“… … You don’t call me Crown Prince. You don’t even use respect.”

“Now that I am the judge of the Colosseum, I have to see everyone as equal students.”

It was Alexei.

“Then let’s talk a little bit.”

With a smirk on his face, he motioned for the person in charge to leave and sat down. Then, with the smile on his face gone, he looked at Eugene, who was sitting next to him and was silent.

I’m just glad that you did it on your own.
