The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 81
Only Krnovel
Berenice’s mood became sharper. The princess didn’t care. For a princess who grew up seeing more than this, Berenine’s level was a reasonable match for her.
There was no particular reason for coming. The moment I heard the name Davide, I became curious.
―100 knuckles! 100 knuckles are out! Any additional bids? 100 knuckles! 100 knuckles! 100 knuckles! Customer number 47, you have won the 100 knuckles!
The sharp gaze quickly disappeared. She was much more aware of the situation than my brother. Bereninche was self-righteous, but it did not go beyond reason.
Even though they were enemies, he respected her status as a princess. The princess felt bad about that.
“You, Berenice. “You truly resemble the head of the Duhane family.”
“Thank you for the compliment. “The princess.”
Berenine’s face was dignified. A small sense of pride was also felt within her. The princess glanced at Davide.
Davide’s face was filled with a look of confusion. Here Berenice was the only one who heard those words as a compliment.
“hmm.”
In that respect, Davide seemed special. Born in Duhane and raised with Duhane blood, he did not like the name Duhane.
Yet, it was rightly reprehensible that he acted like a fool on the back of his power.
“More than that, you, Davide. “You buy quite a lot of things.”
“Your Majesty the Princess. Since this was contracted with Berenice in advance, the cost to be paid by the imperial family is not very high.”
“done. “Let’s pay that little bit of money.”
About 30 minutes had passed since the auction began. There were 10 items up for auction. Davide bid on 4 of them.
Unlike the average person who only buys one or two items, Davide enthusiastically participated in the auction. An old ring, a broken cross, a teacup with a hole in it.
Nothing looks precious. Nevertheless, Davide continued to bid with confidence.
“Oh my.”
The auction continued, and Davide’s bids on more and more items increased. Sheila, who was recording each item in a catalog, handed her catalog to the princess.
A strange look appeared in the eyes of the princess who accepted it. There were items that the princess, who was well versed in artifacts, knew about. Indeed, his eye for seeing things was excellent.
“Haha.”
Is this also part of the information power that has no end? The princess’s gaze turned to Sheila.
Sheila smiled charmingly.
“Your benevolent princess.”
“I get it.”
The princess responded calmly to Sheila’s words. She was telling her to show her compassionate nature.
‘I’m curious.’
The princess was troubled. Wouldn’t it be better to kill Davide here and now?
The language of fairies, the relationship with her aunt. This was not information that a single human could know.
“Your Majesty the Princess. “It looks like you have something to say.”
“done.”
The princess thought that Davide’s information power was related to a being of a higher level, such as a spirit.
In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to confirm the existence of the spirit by killing Davide? Several assumptions came to mind.
“You, Davide.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Princess.”
“I went to the Forbidden Forest not long ago.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Princess.”
Davide confessed without hiding anything. The Forbidden Forest is a place that the bachelor’s side has forbidden entry to. Naturally, if this fact becomes known, he will be punished.
Davide blurted out the truth even though he knew the truth. The princess made a face of surprise.
“You, David. Take care of your health. You will be of great use later.”
The princess who said so looked at Berenice. According to known information, the relationship between Berenice and Davide was not very good.
There is little interaction, and Berenice looks down on Davide, and Davide ignores Berenine. Such siblings are gathered in one place. Even the atmosphere is not bad.
‘The atmosphere is unusual because so many insidious people are gathered here.’
That’s why the princess, who remembered the plot, appeared in this room. As she resisted, the princess touched Berenin’s body.
It was hinted that the imperial family and Davide had a close relationship. Berenice had a curious face the whole time.
“They’re siblings who get along well. “I wish I had at least one sibling.”
Berenine and David frowned at the same time, one with a sharp knife inside and the other with a raging wave inside.
The princess smiled cheerfully at the strange faces of those people. Sheila, although embarrassed, respected the princess’s little game.
“Student Davide.”
“yes?”
“this.”
Sheila carefully handed Davide a small note. Davide tilted his head and received the note.
Davide carefully opened the folded note as Sheila nodded with a smile.
“hmm?”
The others were watching quietly. Davide, who had been reading the note slowly, suddenly crumpled it up and stuffed it into his mouth.
I swallowed hard before trying anything.
“What are you doing?”
The princess, who was curious about the intention, tilted her head and said that it was not an action worthy of Duhane’s reputation, but Berenice was displeased.
Sheila, the person who gave the note, smiled. Winter was half-asleep, leaning against Berenice.
“You, Davide.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Princess.”
“What was it?”
Davide broke into a rare cold sweat at the question of the princess, who smiled excitedly. I could see her anguish swirling in her mind.
“It was a secret mission given by the vice-captain. Since I don’t have the authority, I think it would be better to ask the vice-captain.”
The princess generously accepted Davide’s offer. She felt that there was no need to mess with Sheila since she was clearly playing a prank.
“The way you talk really doesn’t suit you. After all, what is the fault of the subordinate?”
Sheila, who made eye contact with the princess, folded her eyes and smiled. He had no intention of telling me anything. The princess clicked her tongue low and turned her gaze to the stage.
According to the catalog, the item will be coming out soon.
“Sheila.”
The item the princess had been waiting for. It was a piece of cloth with a strange pattern drawn on it. Few people were interested in the thing that looked like a headband.
―The starting bid price is 100 knuckles. Yes! No. 47! No. 2… … You are customer number 2. Why are you there?
Final winning bid: 220 knuckles. Since the item she was aiming for was obtained, it was okay to leave, but the princess decided to wait a little longer.
The princess, who was sipping the whiskey Sheila had poured for her, finally turned her gaze to Winter. The pure white girl sleeping against Berenice’s shoulder.
“It’s strange.”
How dare you sleep in front of the princess. He was a strong-willed man. Normally, it would have been right to scold him or punish him severely, but Sheila loved that girl more than Davide.
Seeing Sheila’s dedication to him for over 20 years, he decided to forgive her for her rudeness.
“Haha.”
Instead, the princess looked at Sheila curiously. The ring that came out after the headband. Davide participated in the auction more passionately than ever.
‘Is that such a great thing?’
Davide’s attitude seemed desperate at first glance. Sheila was looking at Davide with an expression that seemed to be dying of cuteness.
He even let out a laugh with his mouth. I was actually embarrassed by his genuinely happy smile.
* * *
“after.”
I breathed a sigh of relief. I was taken aback by the note the vice-captain handed me at the end, but it ended up being pretty good.
The bracelet sold for a decent price. 500 knuckles. The price was cheap compared to the rare item, but since most of the participants were students, it was difficult to get more than that.
“Student Davide.”
As soon as the auction was over, the princess and the vice-captain left. The vice-captain handed me the imperial check.
I worked overtime with Berenice and Winter looking at bids and adding up the costs. The final price was written on the imperial check and handed over to the church.
“ruler.”
As I was leaving the auction house, Berenine threw me a pouch. I took it calmly and checked inside, and there were five bright blue beads.
“I didn’t know the imperial family would buy things. “Thanks to you, the money has solidified, so that’s the price.”
I barely managed to keep my mouth from reaching my ears. Berenice had a record of striking a vicious blow with five spears.
“iced coffee. thanks.”
Power like that just came into my hands.
Of course, there is a difference from throwing it directly, and since I am not as talented at throwing the javelin as Bereninche, it won’t be like that time.
“You seem very close to the royal family?”
“If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”
I gave a vague answer to Bereninche’s question, which she asked in a subtle manner, sticking her head in.
Bereninche’s eyes lit up for a moment, then she snorted and walked away.
“It’s fun because it’s the Imperial Family and Duhane.”
“I was excommunicated.”
“okay. ‘Ex’ Duhane.”
“Just go.”
He waved his hand as if he was annoyed, and only then did Berenice begin to walk away. Since auction items are delivered by courier, we have informed the church in advance.
I saw off Berenine like that and looked at the little being trembling next to me.
“Hey. “You have a great pulpit.”
“……Ahhh.”
“How dare you sleep in front of the Princess.”
“Ahh!”
Winter screamed, holding her head. When she realized her depravity, she lamented.
“how. “Can I sleep in a place like that?”
I found out later that Winter was sleeping because I paid relatively little attention to it.
When he realized that the princess was getting tired of his gaze, he looked up and only then saw Winter sleeping on Berenice’s shoulder.
“I know. You have a strong heart. “He slept well, leaning on Berenice’s shoulder.”
I thought something big had happened, but the princess just smiled and paid Winter’s attention.
Personally, I’d like to give more credit to the fact that he leaned on Berenin’s shoulders.
“That. It would be a grave crime to sleep in front of the Princess, right?”
With the appearance of Berenice and the princess, a distraught Winter finally began to shed tears.
“It’s a unique way to commit suicide.”
“Ugh.”
I was holding onto my sleeve and biting my lips, shedding tears. I tried to hold it back, but the tears wouldn’t stop easily.
“Okay. If there had been a problem, Her Highness the Crown Princess would have taken action on the spot. The fact that she let it slide like this means that she will be lenient.”
Her watery eyes were filled with longing. I roughly stroked her head.
“Okay. But the ring you bought last wasn’t in the plan.”
Only then did Winter, relieved by my words, begin to speak. I nodded in response.
The note handed to me by the vice-captain contained a small request. The princess is sure to come and go. And that he came to the auction house directly because of me.
“I had no choice.”
And that he is easily satisfied with small favors. It was a request to choose something suitable for the Princess.
It was almost like a threat, but I readily agreed. It wasn’t my money anyway, and I had received a considerable amount of money as a favor.
I quickly looked through the catalog to find something useful. The ring that was bid on last was an item worthy of being presented to the princess.
“Do you know what a ring is?”
“Purity ring.”
“to?”
Winter, who answered curiously, did not know how to use the ring.
“This is something to present to Her Highness the Princess.”
“Wouldn’t something like that be enough to get you in trouble?”
“This is still quite useful. Limited to women. Of course, secondary processing will have to be done.”
In the game, the Ring of Purity increases your charm and brightens your skin. I didn’t even bother looking at it since it doesn’t have a direct effect on your abilities.
I remember seeing the appearance on a list of useless items in the community.
The princess is also a woman, and she has a very proud personality, so I thought it would work out well. As for the rest, the vice-captain will take care of it.
