Episode 112 Afterword (2)
‘Huh!’
Marquis Azis, recalling the memories of that day, came to his senses.
Is it because I had such a terrible experience?
Even the name Dwenor had been erased from my mind.
That’s why I couldn’t think of it.
“Are you okay? I’m breaking into a cold sweat… … .”
“Yes, yes! It’s okay, Your Majesty. These days, construction is all messed up and I can’t sleep… … .”
“Tsk tsk. Anyway, I need to sleep well. “Please stop by my pharmacy and get some medicine.”
“… … “I am devastated.”
“Anyway, he was a lot more capable than I thought.”
How did Dwenor come to be recognized as a capable person?
There were the following reasons for this:
First, they recognized the demon attack and evacuated the students.
-This is what Rodelin gave to the student council before going to fight Lein. As no one was there at the time, Dwenor himself gave the evacuation order.
Second, he quickly put in a flue and summoned knights from surrounding territories. Lucia, who was on her way to the academy at the time, received the news, and she was the first to arrive on the scene.
-I just moved faster than anyone else because I wanted to live. Perhaps the survival instinct unique to flies was activated.
And third. The biggest reason why Dwenor was evaluated as competent.
“Where is that? “It even commemorated the sacrifice of a hero who had almost been forgotten.”
To commemorate the sacrifice of Luthus and the parrot, a stone statue was erected.
“You could be kicked out of your position as president, but you are trying to proudly reveal the death of a student and take responsibility… … It’s something that not everyone can do. “Isn’t that right?”
I just followed the advice Zero gave me.
Despite this minor(?) misunderstanding, it was an undeniable fact that Dwenor was evaluated as competent.
At this point, the Marquis of Asizu was also able to understand the situation.
‘I called it to praise you.’
Marquis Luke because of the activities of Lucia and Rodelin, and because he recommended Dwenor.
That’s why I came here.
‘Well, it’s not just because of that reason.’
He is an emperor like a raccoon. There must be a hidden reason.
The emperor continued speaking.
“What you added was even more amazing. Risking dishonor is true honor. It is the most prestigious school in modern times. “Isn’t that right?”
… … This too was just following Zero’s words, but those who did not know the truth had no choice but to believe that.
Marquis Asiz’s head spun violently.
The devil’s side incident. I received a report about what happened at that time.
A major incident involving the slaying of a demon, the discovery of a corpse, and the youngest member of the Lucid family accusing the eldest.
The process that led to the construction of a stone statue honoring a hero at the Academy and its results.
At that time, I would have been irritated if someone had judged the parachute topic carelessly… … .
“Yes, Your Majesty! Dwenor is a person who enjoys art and writing as a friend. “But I didn’t even know it would be like this.”
“As expected. “Writing such a masterpiece is not easy if you do not like writing.”
“What better way to do it than your Majesty? “Even Dwenor will hold out his tongue if he sees your majesty’s writing skills.”
“Hey, this guy. “If you say that, what becomes of President Dwener?”
The reign of the emperor and the subsequent flattery of the Marquis of Asizu.
This time, a question mark appeared above Marquis Luke’s head.
Risking dishonor is true honor?
‘that… … Isn’t that what Rodelin said? Why is it known as what President Dwenor said?’
Did Rodelin persuade her by telling herself what she heard from the president?
But there was no such sign.
Rather, if he had heard it, the man named Dwenor would have heard it from Rodelin.
There was a lot he wanted to say, but Marquis Luke decided to keep his mouth shut.
Although we cannot be certain, this is an incident in which Rodelin accused Lucia and the Lucid family intervened to protect Luthus’ honor.
If you make a mistake while arguing, it will all be revealed that it was Rodelin’s plan.
Ah, it’s different, it’s just different, but there’s nothing good about saying that it was done intentionally.
‘It’s better to move on like this.’
Above all, I did not want the name Rodelin to be imprinted in the emperor’s mind.
Marquis Luke was always loyal to the emperor, but he did not want to subject a child who was still attending the academy.
Therefore, Marquis Luke decided to keep his mouth shut.
“So… … From the next noble meeting onwards, won’t new artists also attend? They too, but it is a phrase that high-ranking nobles must remember. “I would like to use this as the basis for running state affairs for the time being. What do you think?”
He was referring to the phrase, ‘Risking dishonor is true honor.’
The Marquis of Asizu immediately lowered his head.
“You give me such an honor! Even President Dwenor will be impressed by Your Majesty’s generosity, which is like the ocean!”
“Hehe, then I guess that’s it. Of course, an award should follow. Let’s see… … “I think we can give a 6th-class award to Sir Lucia and a 7th-class award to President Dwenor.”
Graded awards divided into levels 1 to 9.
The higher the number, the better the award, and from the 7th place award onwards, there were many secondary awards.
Because of that, it is normal to face harsh opposition from the noble council.
‘The emperor’s will is so firm… … .’
This means that when an agenda item comes up at the noble meeting, the two of them should cooperate together.
Luke and the Marquis of Assis are the pillars of the empire.
There are forces following them, so if you cooperate, you will pass through without difficulty.
There is also a good justification for saving students.
In this way, the origin of the famous text came to be taken by Dwenor.
“I would like to commend your youngest daughter by awarding her, but… … Let’s skip this time. “Because there are many people who are blinded by jealousy.”
“I am just grateful for the heavenly consideration.”
Killing the devil’s side, killing the teacher who made a contract with the devil, and even fighting the 4th level demon Vines.
Even giving three or four awards would not have been enough, but Lucia had already decided to receive the award and Rodelin was too young.
Excessive attention can make a well-growing tree sick.
As it happened, Marquis Luke did not want to subjugate Rodelin.
There were no particular complaints.
“Marquis Asiz, now that I think about it, your son will be graduating soon, right? “I heard he is leading the academy well from his position as student council president.”
“That’s too much praise, Your Majesty. “I’m still not good enough.”
“It’s all like that in a father’s eyes. Are you hoping to go straight into politics? “I might see her face at a noble meeting soon.”
“There is no way he will pass the test because he has so many shortcomings, but if he does, I will teach him harshly.”
Contrary to what Marquis Asiz said, Arwin’s political debut was almost a fait accompli.
Although the title of student council president is the quickest path to politics, the abilities he has shown so far are so outstanding.
He is the only person in the history of the Empire to receive a 7th grade award while living at the Academy.
Considering that there were many who participated in the noble meeting and did not even receive a 5th rank award, this could be said to be an incredible qualification.
“Then I guess we should now move on to the next item on the agenda.”
Marquis Luke and Marquis Assis adjusted their posture.
‘As expected, it wasn’t a place for simple congratulations.’
Moreover, the fact that I praised him first also meant that I had something to ask him separately.
The idea was to talk and kiss in advance before the nobles’ meeting to be held two days later.
“Priests from the Holy Kingdom have decided to be dispatched to the academy.”
“Dispatch?”
“That’s right. At the beginning of the semester, the devil appeared twice, and even the teacher who made a contract with the devil appeared. I tried to postpone it a bit… … “It seems difficult.”
A proposal to send priests from the Holy Kingdom.
It was a phrase that had often been said in the past, and it was also something that the empire was considering positively.
So far, the only way to stop the ‘erosion’ is through divine power.
It will be of great help to students if they become familiar with it in advance during the academy’s curriculum.
“But the timing is unfortunate.”
“That would mean that’s not the case.”
Both the Marquis of Luke and the Marquis of Assis expressed the same opinion.
From a political perspective, if you look at it from a small perspective, it is for exchange, but if you look at it from a large perspective… … .
“To keep in check the empire that is growing bigger every day. and… … .”
“You may be wondering if the Empire has joined hands with the devil.”
The emperor nodded.
“Jim’s thoughts are the same. There’s no problem. If there is someone interacting with the devil, we can catch them, so it’s actually a good thing. but… … .”
The Academy is not only located in the deepest part of the empire, but is also a place where talented people who will lead the future are located.
They could instill narrow-minded views or wrong doctrines in their growing children.
Moreover, if things go wrong, the possibility of students being taken hostage cannot be ruled out.
“It’s too urgent. “I need to hear other people’s thoughts, so I’d like to ask for a little more time.”
“Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem possible. “He hinted that if we don’t accept it, Seongguk will be very busy.”
It’s getting very busy. This meant that I should not even think about receiving support in the future.
“If you don’t accept it, you will have to take care of the erosion that will occur in the future.”
“yes.”
“… … “Insolent bastards.”
A subtle anger emanated from Marquis Luke’s body.
And this was no different for the Emperor and the Marquis of Asizu.
‘If it weren’t for the erosion, we could have unified the continent.’
Those who have been bowing their heads for hundreds of years are now raising their heads high, showing off their power as soon as Erosion appears.
It was disgusting to see with both eyes open. but.
“The regret is on our side, so there is nothing we can do about it.”
“Scientists are doing their best to research ways to eliminate erosion, so please be patient.”
Erosion is a scary disease.
A terrible disease that turns healthy land into land where not even a single blade of grass can survive.
I want to destroy the Holy Kingdom right now, but now is the time to hold back.
Because the Empire is not stupid enough to be swallowed up by simple anger and make a mistake.
“I guess so. “I believe you now understand why Jim called you.”
Persuading other nobles at the noble meeting to be held two days later.
That was their role.
“It would be important to create awareness that the academy is safe.”
“Even if an emergency occurs, there is no way the children will be taken hostage. “We need to come up with an auxiliary device for that.”
The emperor nodded.
“I’ll leave you to finish the preparations. I trust that everything will take care of itself after that. “Then let’s all see each other in two days.”
I walked out the door with a firm welcome from the escort driver.
Another long hallway.
Only the sound of the two people’s footsteps echoed quietly.
‘Oh, that rocky guy. ‘Do you mind if I talk to you?’
Marquis Asiz grumbled inwardly.
This happened often, so there were many times when I spoke first, but every time that happened, Marquis Luke showed signs of discomfort.
This was when he continued to grumble inwardly.
“You are so lucky.”
The Marquis of Assis could not help but be surprised.
The rock spoke… … No, it was Marquis Luke who opened his mouth.
“yes?”
“I’m so lucky. Whether before or now… … . What a strange thing. “Isn’t that right?”
It’s an obvious twist.
Marquis Luke, who values honor, is sarcastic about people.
If it were an average person, it would be considered a level of padding.
“Hehe, Marquis Luke. What do you mean… … ?”
“Didn’t you do that when you sent the Lester family away? “We easily found evidence of treason that no one else could find.”
“… … .”
“To find something we couldn’t find even though we searched for so long…” … I’m so strangely lucky. “Isn’t that right?”
Marquis Luke’s eerie eyes.
The Marquis of Asizu flinched slightly. But soon her shoulders straightened.
He himself has clearly risen to the rank of marquis.
Although the Lucid family is great, it is not to the point where they ignore themselves.
‘I am not the person I used to be. ‘I need to give you a sharp word!’
The Marquis of Asizu adjusted his posture.
In an instant, his waist was folded in half.
“Oh my, Marquis! you’re right. I was lucky. “For such heavenly luck to come to me, I wonder if heaven took care of me.”
“… … .”
“It is unbelievable to even think about it now that we have taken up a position as a pillar of the empire. Still, I’m glad I have a dependable Marquis. I always trust, follow, and rely on you. And again… … .”
Of course, what came out of the Marquis Asizu’s mouth was extreme flattery.
Marquis Luke.
Because he was a really scary man.
