Chapter 147
EP.147
“Luid is strange these days.”
Hersy was the first to raise questions.
“…It was originally cute. Nowadays.”
Hercy looked at Amelia. Amelia nodded slowly.
“I still think it’s cute, but I can’t force Hersy’s opinion.”
“I’m scared these days.”
“Hmph, I feel like my body has finally come to its senses?”
Damon said, sipping his wine. In a slightly secret space, the Academy student council was holding a meeting for the first time in a long time.
“Anyway, where is that tall girl?”
“It’s been a while since I left the lab. “They didn’t even listen to what I was passionate about.”
Damon nodded. He nodded to Amelia and offered her a drink.
Amelia, who seemed like she was going to refuse, calmly grabbed the glass and drank it in one gulp.
He said, putting it down roughly.
“I have a guess.”
“There is no one here who doesn’t know that.”
“I… I don’t know.”
Asha said timidly. Damon gave her a disdainful look and continued.
“It must be Irene.”
“yes. “There is no one who can change Ruid except my sister.”
“…I think the same thing. The time when Ruid became strange was outside the first line of defense. It all started when I was researching something. “I started acting as if I was being chased by someone.”
Amelia’s thoughts were the same.
Right after examining the ‘Tomb of the First Emperor’, Ruid became strange.
Normally, I would have leisurely wandered around the northern part of the country and taken a nap in a sunny place.
But these days, he hasn’t shown any such behavior. His eyes were always sleepy and round, and his expression that seemed bothered by everything made him look calm, like an emotionless person.
‘The matriarch is right.’
I felt like I could finally understand Victoria’s words that Ruid was at his best when he was lazy.
“…Luid always helped us even though he seemed indifferent.”
Hersy stood up.
He looked at everyone and said.
“They saved us from a crisis and we became stronger than before. “Now it’s our turn to help Ruid.”
“You say it easily.”
Hercy was taken aback when Damon, who seemed to be the most positive, struck the second.
“Let me ask first. What are you going to do? girl.”
“I’m not sure yet, but first, if we bring Ruid over and have a good conversation…”
“If that were possible, this bumbling Windsor would be the first to act. “I guess that’s why I’m here now.”
“I don’t like the word sloppy. but.”
Amelia’s shoulders dropped.
“yes. Damon is definitely right. We tried talking a long time ago, but Ruid doesn’t even know what the problem is. “Even that is difficult to bring up because Irene is always with me.”
Damon nodded towards Hercy.
“Do you have any other plans?”
“…Not yet.”
Hercy’s eyes shined brightly.
“But I think if we all find a way together, there will be something.”

Damon openly laughed at Hercy.
“The line reminds me of the face of a certain lowly person you hated so much.”
“Damon! Why do you keep speaking negatively? But you can’t just sit still.”
“I think you are misunderstanding something, so I will tell you something.”
Damon put his feet on the table. He then lifted a wine glass with his right hand and pointed it at Hersy.
“today. “The 230,000 imperial troops sent to subdue Windsor were annihilated.”
“…?”
Hercy blinked, unable to understand what was being said because it was so unreliable.
“The relationship between Windsor and the imperial family has already become uncontrollably soured. And a bitch. As you can see, Windsor’s power is beyond anything you can imagine. “Erasing an empire is an instant.”
“Wait a minute. “What does that mean now?”
Hercy did not understand this situation. It was the same for other students. Damon’s words were so unrealistic.
“If you don’t believe me, ask. Isn’t it here? Another Windsor.”
Damon turned to Amelia. However, Amelia, who had to be the most active in explaining things in this situation, lowered her head and bit her lip.
“Oh, Amelia. “Is it true what Damon just said?”
Hersi was denying it even as he said it out loud.
But Amelia didn’t say anything.
“Stop playing around. Amelia Windsor.”
Damon put his glass down on the table and stood up. I approached Amelia with one hand in my pocket.
“It is understandable that they are hiding the fact of the war from us. There will probably be a lot of confusion. “Except for the mindless lowlifes, the only people who came here are the powerful nobles of the empire.”
“….”
“But the situation has come to this, so shouldn’t something be done? Just hiding things cannot be the right answer. Reveal the facts and accept the wisdom of this body. Amelia Windsor.”
Damon picked up the bottle of whiskey and took a gulp. Amelia seemed to have decided on something as well, so she picked up the last bottle and drank it all the way down.
Amelia’s skin, which was like pure white snow, turned red. She said with her fists clenched.
“…This morning, Ruid annihilated 230,000 of the incoming imperial troops. “The war between our family and the empire has already begun.”
“…!”
Everyone’s eyes widened when Amelia admitted the truth.
“That kind of thing.”
Hercy looked like he couldn’t believe it.
Damon, on the other hand, was calm.
“Now is not the time to be alarmed. “If war starts, Minerva, one of the great nobles, will definitely call you.”
“…I’ve already been called several times.”
Amelia said quietly.
“There are increasing demands from each family to quickly return a successor. But under my sister’s instructions…”
Amelia felt guilty.
“We are deleting all of those letters.”
“Isn’t Windsor the safest place in this situation anyway? If I return now, I will only be killed by my close friend’s magic. “I’d like to decline.”
Damon smiled on the outside.
But the intention was completely different.
‘You broke your promise. Irene.’
Irene and Damon’s promise to help him become emperor.
The core of the promise was that Damon would do the process of becoming emperor ‘on his own.’
Even if Irene wins against the empire like this and hands over the emperor’s crown-
Damon had no intention of receiving it. It’s just an empty shell.
“Just ask one question.”
“yes.”
“Are you willing to cooperate with us? The condition is that Ruid be restored to its original state. “I’ll turn you back into a sleeping baby again.”
“…It’s impossible unless you turn back time.”
Amelia stood up, dismissing it firmly.
“The reason I came here is because of the minimum consideration for you. The leader’s order was to detain the academy students in case of an unexpected situation, but I will give you a chance to choose. “Because I have this much authority.”
Amelia’s mood changed completely.
It was an overly businesslike tone.
Hersy asked with a trembling voice, as if he was a different person.
“Amelle…Lia?”
Amelia ignored Hersy’s words and tried to leave this space.
At that moment, Damon opened his mouth with his arms crossed.
“What if you could turn back time?”
Amelia’s steps stopped.
“If I could turn back time-”
Amelia’s neck slowly turned.
Damon asked with his signature confidence.
“Are you going to cooperate? Amelia Windsor.”

Ruid walked while rubbing his eyes.
“Did you overdo it and use magic? “I’m sleepy.”
I always feel sleepy when I use magic.
Especially on days like today where great magic was used.
“Let’s get some sleep.”
A fluffy snowball appeared in Ruid’s blurry vision.
If you sleep up there, it will be so soft.
Just as he was about to escape the temptation of sleep, a scene passed in Luid’s memory.
Remember when Colon died.
In such an important situation, I fell asleep like a fool and lost someone precious to me.
Luid’s expression hardened. Let’s sleep later, too.
“Lord Luid. “Congratulations on your victory.”
When I turned my head, Rosalie was there.
She bowed deeply.
It was a natural procedure for a maid to do to the duke’s youngest son, but it was also an etiquette that was not often done to Ruid.
“what? “Once again.”
“Erasing 230,000 soldiers with a single spell is a great achievement.”
“Rosalie can do it too, right?”
Rosalie looked up.
“It takes a long time. “I can’t do it in 3 minutes like Ruid.”
“That’s lame.”
“….”
“….”
Ruid read Rosalie’s thoughts through her eyes.
What should I do with this Jammin? I think it’s the same idea.
‘This is fun.’
“But why is Rosalie here? Sister Irene.”
“After seeing Mr. Ruid use magic, he returned to the first line of defense. Just because there’s something I need to do.”
“There was?”
‘Irene is different as expected.’
If it had been Amelia, she would have noticed.
Irene’s presence was not easy to read.
Well, she always hides her magical powers.
Even Ruid didn’t know what Irene’s ‘real weapon’ was.
“What was Irene’s reaction?”
Ruid looked up in secret anticipation.
Rosalie said right away, as if she had no intention of hiding it.
“He was very satisfied. However, the evaluation was that it was a wasteful magic to use to catch bugs.”
“That’s right.”
It was definitely too much magic.
‘I feel a little sad.’
I thought you were going to praise me, but you just left me first.
“different. “After seeing that Master Ruid had clearly annihilated the imperial army, he was now relieved and could go about his business.”
“okay?”
Luid’s voice became a little brighter.
It was so cute that it made even Rosalie, who rarely smiles, laugh.
Rosalie squatted down and was at eye level with Luid.
The pale skin that did not look human at all flashed in Luid’s eyes.
“The reason I remain here is because of Irene’s instructions. “I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
“Irene said.”
Rosalie cleared her throat a few times and imitated Irene’s calm voice.
“That’s great, Louis. I’ll give you a toy as a reward. “A huge toy called an empire.”
“?”
Rosalie went back to her own tone.
“Luid, what I am saying is that you should try it on your own. “The fall of the empire.”
“alone?”
“To be exact, it is the position of commander. “The commander of the main force who will annihilate the empire, or more precisely, the fall of the imperial family.”
Ruid looked around.
“I don’t have the medical history to do that.”
Rosalie pointed to herself.
“It’s just me and Ruid.”
“…okay?”
Rosalie stood up.
“If you agree, please take my hand. I’ll warp to the closest place to the Empire.”
Then he stretched out his hand to Ruid and asked.
“Do you think that’s too little? “You seem unusually embarrassed.”
I shook my head.
“no. “It’s so easy if you give me Rosalie.”
There were more than enough troops.
No, like the magic I used today, it was too much.
‘It’s a shame. I wanted to see Hercy and the kids before I went.’
But I also had that thought.
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we saw each other’s faces for no reason?
This was war. It probably won’t sound good. Above all, I don’t know what to say to the academy students. Expressing regret? Expression of apology? Or how it came to be like this?
No matter what you say, it’s funny.
So, without hesitation, Ruid took Rosalie’s hand.
“huh. “I’ll give it a try. Let’s get rid of the imperial family together.”
