The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 103



103. The Demon King (3)

Academy’s health room.

Arlot opened the door to the intensive care unit located in the health room.

A woman with red hair wrapped in bandages was lying on the bed.

“Hey, princess. What happened? “He even came to visit me like this.”

“…Professor Ryan.”

Arlot looked at Ryan’s condition with sad eyes.

She was the one who struggled across the snowy mountains to find Schmitz.

However, because she was running away so fast, she ended up being shipwrecked on the mountain, and was barely able to survive thanks to her rescue team.

The doctor in charge of the health room added, ‘It’s a miracle that he survived.’

“It’s your first time visiting the hospital. So… There’s something I’d like to ask… “

“Are you curious about the status of other students?”

“Yes, that’s right. That… “I’m sorry for asking you this.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Arlot smiled bitterly and answered.

She smiled as if she was trying to show her bright side, but on the contrary, her haggard face made her look even more miserable.

Ryan’s eyes sank as he looked at that scene.

Arlot, perhaps knowing Ryan’s intentions her, answered in a bright voice.

“Evan had a minor injury. … “It’s funny how you can say that her broken leg and broken rib she were minor.”

3 Evan suffered broken bones here and there, but his life was not seriously affected.

If you borrow the academy’s medical technology, you can be safely discharged from the hospital within a few days.

The problem wasn’t Evan.

From noble mtl dot com

“Is it. I’m glad it stopped at that level.”

“Yes. But… Ms. Hannah… “

In her depressed voice, Arlot explained that Hannah’s condition was not good.

Hannah, blown away by Rumclad’s gesture, must have hit her head the wrong way,

She fell into a coma and hasn’t woken up until now.

“The health office said there was no way. So, we decided to take charge of it in our family.”

“…Isn’t Hannah a noble too?”

“Oh, that’s… “She’s in charge temporarily because Hanna’s family has some work to do.”

“I see.”

Although Hanna was the princess of a country, she used her false identity at the academy as the daughter of an ordinary local lord.

Because she did not trust her her her her imperial family her her her, including her her own brother her her her.

Arlot, worried about her well-being in her comatose state, decided to take it upon himself to hide her identity.

Ryan believed her without any doubt.

“…I guess that’s how your party ended up… In fact, many other students left the academy.”

Ryan moved his gaze to the dresser next to the bed.

At her request she opened the drawer and took out a document,

The paper was filled with changes in academic records of academy students.

“Death, coma, dropping out of school, transferring schools, refusing to go to school… “More than half of the students are not showing up at the academy.”

Although the incident occurred simply in the lower and intermediate first-year classes, the aftermath was significant.

The talk about being the best in the empire and the most prestigious school faded in the face of the huge accident of ‘student loss of life.’

The parties involved, as well as students and parents who heard the rumors, were quickly leaving the academy.

“There will probably be a major reorganization of the class. Perhaps, since you have good skills, you will be placed in an advanced class.”

“…”

“Hmm… Arlot?”

Despite Ryan’s words, Arlot was staring at one part of the document with her empty eyes.

[1st grade lower class – Waltz Schmitz – missing]

Schmitz’s absence is still not felt.

It is clearly recorded in the school’s documents

Arlot felt her heart sink.

Ryan sensed her expression her and reached out to her bandaged hand her and took her her document her her her.

All Ryan could do was change the subject.

“Now that I think about it, Koyono… That child was also marked as a dropout. Do you know anything?”

“Ah… Mr. Koyono… “

Only then did Arlot, looking at Ryan as if she came to her her senses her her her, open her mouth her her her.

However, her voice was even more gloomy than before.

“Mr. Koyono is… I headed to the front line.”

“What!”

“Ji, calm down. I tried to stop him as much as I could, but he said he had to go… “

As soon as Ryan hears it, he reacts violently, shaking her bandaged body.

He calmed down by embracing her as if he were embracing her.

Ryan, who had been fuming and expressing his anger for a while, began to tremble.

“Such idiot… “I know where the front line is!”

“…”

Ryan was murmuring for a while after that, but

As Arlot looked at her like that, she couldn’t bear to say what she wanted to say.

‘Actually, I shouldn’t tell you that I was planning to go too.’

At first, when Koyono said, ‘I will go to the front line to look for Schmitz,’ I tried to stop him.

However, as I tried to stop her, she was influenced by Koyono and said, ‘If you are going, let’s go together.’

Koyono coldly rejected her.

[Lord Arlott has a lot to protect. North, fiefdom, honor, title, family. A girl has nothing like that.]

[No. For me, Schmitz is the most important-]

[At least to Lord Schmitz, Lord Arlot is an important person. So please wait at the academy.]

[Mr. Koyono!]

Leaving those words behind, Koyono disappeared immediately.

Arlot couldn’t bear to stop Koyono like that.

Because I noticed her trembling hands and her slender wrists.

Because she knew that if she didn’t do this, her trauma would recur again.

“…Professor, I… “I don’t know.”

Arlot eventually collapsed helplessly on her floor.

Evan is still hospitalized but cannot speak.

Hanna is in a coma, Schmitz is kidnapped, and Koyono is on the front line after dropping out.

Recently, even the Northern Grand Duke fell into a coma during the battle, leaving Arlot with no one left to rely on.

That day when I was 15, I was particularly scared.

The day when Schmitz, who I thought would be with me for the rest of my life, disappeared in an instant.

Lying in the room, tears were forming endlessly… The nightmare of that day struck Arlot.

“What should I do? Should I really go to school? Should I go to the front like Mr. Koyono? Are you going back to your family and training hard for your successor now? I am… “Maybe I like it, right?”

I don’t know if it was when her legs didn’t move and her eyes couldn’t see.

But he was able to move his legs and see better.

Unlike in the past when she was lying in bed unable to do anything, there were so many things she could do that she couldn’t choose which was the right answer.

What really struck her heart was ‘the situation right before she was kidnapped.’

“If only I had used high-level magic on those demons back then… Would things have been different?”

“Arlot… “

“I have that dream every night. “I dream of Schmitz coming out and blaming me, scolding me, and biting me.”

The memories of that day, which were still vivid, were gnawing at Arlot’s heart.

Schmitz’s eyes urging him to use magic, the demon laughing as if he was looking down on him, and Ryan desperately running around to save Schmitz.

Even the image of himself canceling the magic spell he had worked so hard to prepare and watching Schmitz disappear in vain.

“Professor… Me, I was stupid. If I had used magic that day, if I had-“

“Arlot, stop it.”

Ryan lifted up his bandaged body and hugged Arlot.

I felt a strength inside him that was so strong that I couldn’t believe he was a sick person.

Ryan whispered in Arlot’s ear in a much softer voice.

“What Schmitz wants is your safety and your graduation.”

“But… “

“You said you were stupid, but I think Schmitz is the stupidest. That guy would give anything for you.”

Arlot listened quietly to Ryan’s words.

“While training with him, we always talked about you. At this rate, she cannot protect Lady Arlot. She needs to get stronger … “Stupid guy.”

“…”

“I can assure you that I have been watching that guy next to her all along. What he wants is for you to attend the academy healthy and safe. Did you understand?”

“Yes… Professor… I am… “

Arlot buried her face in Ryan’s her shoulder her her her her.

Ryan patted Arlot, who was shaking intermittently.

“That’s the best you can do…” ” This is also what Schmitz wants. So don’t worry any more. Instead, I work hard at school.”

“I… I will become stronger. Try hard… Become stronger… “

“Okay, okay.”

Arlot quietly sobbing and Ryan covering her.

The two hugged each other for a while and patted each other.

Meanwhile, outside the window, there was something watching the scene…

It was a bizarre monster that looked like it had bat wings for its eyes.

“…Kishit.”

The monster stared at them for a while and then

Finally, she flapped her wings and flew away.

It was towards the Demon King’s Castle located at the far end of the north

* * *

“…So, it means that there is no danger to everyone’s lives.”

“Well, I heard it directly with my own eyes and ears, so it must be accurate.”

A few days passed and I arrived again at the Great Hollow where the Demon King’s throne was.

According to the information she gave, there was some dizzying information

Fortunately, no one lost their life.

‘But I can’t feel at ease when I see Koyono or Arlot.’

Arlot, with her fighting spirit ignited, decides to attend her academy, even if it is little by little

In the case of Koyono, she said to have appeared at the front line, so she couldn’t help but be worried.

Thinking like that, I held out my index finger to the Demon King.

“…Could you please make one more promise?”

“Hmm? “What is it?”

“Please instruct that these people who requested identification information are not killed by demons or monsters.”

“This guy has been making demands to the Demon King since a while ago… Don’t you even know your position!”

Rumclad, who was a frail old man, puffed out his body and approached me.

In an instant, he turned into a giant. His muscles twitched and his fists seemed ready to fly at any moment.

However, the devil sternly motioned and blocked his approach.

“Okay, I’ll listen.”

“Demon King!”

“Shut up. Since when did you say it was okay for you to interfere?”

“Ugh… “I’m sorry!”

Rumclad immediately shrank into a frail old man.

The devil smiled at me as I looked at Ha Geuk-sang, who had been subdued in an instant.

“From what I heard, he made a very eloquent promise that if he complied with his request, he would make this body fun.”

“…But not to that extent.”

“This body is listening to two of your requests, but it is not profitable.”

The Demon King said that and looked at me intently.

… I never dreamed that they would immediately ask me to make it ‘fun’.

I broke into a cold sweat and reorganized the information in my head.

Because I knew something like this would happen and I prepared something.
