Chapter 250

Epilogue (完)

​Lucy Meryl is a hero of the Empire.

I received all kinds of commendation from the Chloël imperial family, various commendations, gold and silver treasures, and all kinds of honorary titles.

Nevertheless, Emperor Chloel did not grant her any titles or lordships. Even though she was given her baron title, even Jenica, far less than by force.

As a wise sage, he realized that titles and titles would only serve as shackles for a talented person named Lucy Meirl. In the first place, I can’t even take responsibility for the title, so it’s close to just throwing away one estate.

In the end, Lucy didn’t change her status, just left the Sylvania Academy and committed herself to the Roth Taylor mansion. She decided that there would be no more work for herself on Aken Island.

Lucy Merrill, after drawing years’ worth of magic in the final battle, is effectively no more than an ordinary girl. She needed a force to protect her officially for at least a few years.

Should I say that it was the price, or was it because I was not interested in wealth? After handing over all the wealth and honor granted by the imperial family to the Duke of Roth Taylor, Lucy just stayed in the mansion’s room and spent the day recovering her magical powers.

On the day she regains her magical powers, the Roth Taylor estate, protected by two carriages called Yenica and Lucy, will become an impregnable holy land.

He was a very talked-about figure among the people of Yeongji, and in fact, Lucy’s magical power was restored sooner than expected.

However, what Lucy Merrill didn’t expect was... Scouting Edgar Belle Maia while she was looking for someone to control her.

– ‘Lady Lucy. When lifting the teacup, you need to move your arms more gracefully.’

– ‘Lady Lucy, don’t spill any crumbs.’

– ‘Sorry, Miss Lucy, the hem of the dress is touching the garden floor.’

– ‘Lady Lucy...’

– ‘Lady Lucy.’

Lady Lucy, Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy.

The two maids who follow Lucy all day and assist her are from Ophelis. As a direct subordinate of Belmaia, not to mention her competence, she is never discouraged against Grusy.

In the beginning, Lucy lost her magical powers, so she can’t run away.

Lucy sat down at the tea table and talked with her pale complexion.

“Help me...”

Tracyiana rubbed her forehead sadly. She knew what Bellmayah was saying, that she was responsible for it.

Before Lucy regained her powers, her strong will to turn her into a human was communicated. Indeed, it can be said that he is a responsible person.

Anyway, the fact that you’re still stuck on the Roth Taylor estate is probably what you’ll like here.

After a few years, she will return to a rare genius sorceress, and she is drooling in all kinds of institutions and towers, and is aiming for it.

Nevertheless, Lucy Merrill chose to remain at this duke’s residence with Ed Roth-Taylor. The reason is obvious. The people in her mansion already knew that she had a blatant crush on Ed Ross Taylor.

“Lou, Lucy...”

Yenica put down her teacup and looked at Lucy quietly.

Yenika’s biggest concern was the existence of that Lucy Meryl.

Ed Roth-Taylor treats Yenica with special treatment, but so does Lucy Meryl.

Whenever there is a chance to return to the duke’s house, he always checks her condition and checks whether there are any inconveniences and whether her life is okay.

Lucy Merrill didn’t like Ed’s attention, either, so she sometimes held her in her arms or sat on her lap... She flirted with Ed, but no one could stop her.

In fact, he is a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests receiving special treatment in this duke’s residence. Even Tanya, the owner of the duke’s house, is not rude to Lucy.

Tracyana’s impressions of seeing such a scene were as follows.

‘How many women is sitting in his mansion, the man named my advisor...?’

It must have been a kick of his extraordinary heart that he would take responsibility for all the people he owed... but, in fact, looking at the appearance, it just looks like he was just setting up a state education system.

I don’t think Tracy is the only one who knows the situation, but it may be rumored that she is a huge human being among the greedy nobles who only see anything in her eyes. Well, it is my own profit.

The future was clear to Tracyana.

Yenika crouches and picks up a teacup and brings it to her mouth, and Lucy, with a blank expression on her chin, is subtly conscious of Yenika’s gaze.

They don’t seem willing to give up on Ed Roth-Taylor so easily, let alone the two of them, or any woman looking for a mansion.

Perhaps neither Saint Clarisse nor Acting Lieutenant Lortel nor Imperial Princess Selah... have any intention of giving up on Ed Roth Taylor.

As each of them is considered to be the inner circle of the empire, it will not be easy to compromise. There are many people who want it, but Ed Roth Taylor has only one body. Then... the future to come is not difficult to draw.

‘You are going down a thorny road...’

As I said, holding someone requires a large bowl.

Tracyiana wished her advisor would have a bowl as wide as Hahae.

Because there were too many things to include.

*“Sorry, it’s too late.”

Bell Maia, who went to find Tanya, arrived about twenty minutes later.

However, he didn’t show up with Tanya. In the end, she was never found.

It’s a story you’ll learn later, but Tanya Roth Taylor says she has a habit of disappearing once in a while while working hard.

Tracyana stayed blank because of absurdity, but Bell Maia came closer, waving her hand as if it wasn’t surprising... and then glanced around the tea table.

Then she put her chin on her chin and pondered for a moment, then sat down with her knees bent and lifted the tablecloth.

Then, Tanya came out from below.

?Since coming to the mansion, it was Tracyana who kept only a blank expression on her face.

Tanya, in her neatly dressed shirt and skirt, along with her old-fashioned cape, came out from under the table, groaning and clearing her throat.

“Wow, thank you for coming this far... Miss Tracyana.”

“When we were in Sylvania, we met as the student council president. As the owner of the Duke of Roth Taylor, this is the first time I have met him in a welcoming position.”

“I, that... from when... under that...?”

“...when do you think it will start...?”

Needless to say, it was from the beginning.

I wonder if there are normal people in this Duke Roth Taylor residence?

That thought popped into my head, but anyway, it was rude. This is the continent’s largest duke.

And it is in front of Duchess Tanya Rothtailer, who effectively rules this duke’s residence.

I got up from my seat for a moment and tried to bow my head, but Tanya waved her arms and said it was okay and sat down at the rest of the tea table.

“Because I like being in dark places... I panicked. There are times when I like that warm feeling of being strangely stable. Give it a try when your head gets too complicated or tired. I can only recommend it.”

“The place I usually recommend is a closet, or something... Under the work desk, it’s even better if it’s covered with a blanket. That feeling of sticking together and pressing again...”

“Master.”

Bell Maia sang so lightly, and Tanya opened her half-moon eyes and looked at Bell for a moment.

Bell’s words meant nothing. Please fix it and keep your dignity.

Maybe it’s because I’m meeting my alumni after a while, maybe it’s because Tanya also had some strength in her shoulders.

Tanya pulled back the cloak she was wearing, straightened her posture, and spoke.

“Well, Tracyana Youngae seems to be very interested in our older brother’s relationship with women.”

When Tracey heard that, she wanted to miss it.

In one way or another, I said too much about the love history of the Nam family. In fact, it’s not impossible to say that it was only during the conversation with Yenika, a classmate, but it would be a completely different story if Tanya, the owner of the mansion, was listening to them all.

Duke Tanya Rothtailer is one of the heart of this empire, in fact second only to the emperor.

I don’t have an authoritarian attitude, and I’m speaking frankly... but that shouldn’t make me comfortable either.

Tracyana has already figured it out.

She looks like a child and behaves lightly, but that girl’s eyes and psychology are never lighthearted.

Evaluating people’s bowls just by squinting a squint, pretending that you don’t care and calculating your understanding in an instant.

Three years as student body president of the Sylvania Academy, and two years as head of the Roth Taylor family.

Even a childish girl is old enough to turn her into a mongrel. Even light and comfortable actions are all within the scope of the calculation.

When Tracyana saw through that fact, she bowed her head politely.

“Oh my gosh”

And, after hearing that one word that was full of room, Tracyana noticed.

This girl even saw through the fact that Tracyana had pierced her inner self. She somehow felt as if she was playing on the palm of her hand, and Tracy Ana swallowed her dry saliva.

I was rather puzzled as to why this boy came all the way here.

It’s because a lot has happened here and there, but we haven’t been able to achieve anything like a reconciliation yet.

Taley came over to the other side of the bonfire and sat down. She then laid down her scabbard she was holding, and she quietly bowed her head.

“Thank you so much.”

It was an unexpected greeting. Even when I was graduating, I didn’t greet you with this kind of respect.

“...By the way, you will be graduating soon.”

“...Yes. Ed took up the professorship as soon as he graduated, so she kept seeing each other face to face, but after we graduate this time, I really don’t think we’ll see much of it anymore.”

Taley spoke like that, but didn’t raise her head down.

“How do you say hello? It’s already over.”

“Yes, but... looking back on my last undergraduate life, it was always Ed who contributed at an important point in the end.”

I didn’t want you to know that. That’s because Taylor McLaugher wanted to walk the path of a pre-ordained hero. In the beginning, Taylor had no choice but to misunderstand.

Thanks to Taylor being able to get stronger step by step, as I wanted, she cut off the Velbroque as the main character on the stage. To be honest, that was enough from my point of view.

Now that she’s done all she has to do, there are no more feelings left for Taylor.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t thank you in time. There were a lot of misunderstandings, and there were many days when I had a lot of bad feelings... but in the end, Ed-senpai... No, Professor Ed was right.”

“There is nothing to pack too much. In fact, it must have been very difficult for you as well.”

I didn’t mean to blame Taylor very much. Sometimes it was me who made Taylor harder.

You did a good enough job, and you did what you had to do by holding on to the end of the stage.

I have nothing else to say.

“I just wanted to say hello. Before graduation.”

He looked at Taylor as she spoke like that, and then nodded without saying anything.

“...Yes.”

Because there were no other words to exchange or exchange.

Tailey picks up the sword again.

He has now become a swordsman who will leave his name in history. After graduating from the Sylvania Academy, he will live his own adventures and travels with Isla.

I will leave many achievements and become a hero who lives a shining life.

Taley walks past me.

To walk again on the path beyond the stretched forest.

The first thing that comes to mind is when I sat in my room looking after my injured body and stared blankly at the computer screen.

Despite the adventures and travels unfolding on the screen, Taylor never succumbed to trials.

I was in the spotlight on stage and lived my life as a hero.

Even though it was a story beyond the screen, it could be said that it was my own salvation... for me at a time when I was stuck in a room, frustrated with life and unable to adjust to peace.

Even if it’s a made-up story, and even if it’s a story that doesn’t apply to the extras below the stage... Sometimes you feel like you’re being saved if you just stare blankly.

The stories of people who overcame ordeal have the power to save someone in themselves.

“Hey, Taylor.”

I summoned Taylor to leave, and he turned to me again with a puzzled look on his face.

I was contemplating on what to say, but I roughly put the poker that was swinging the fire into the fire, and talked as if tossing it.

“Have a hard time.”

That’s all there is to it.

Tailey looks back at me and leaves the road with a thank you.

The road splits and merges, but it goes on and on.

As long as life permits it, it goes on and on.

*The number of people wanting to become a freshman at the Sylvania Academy still hasn’t diminished.

Although there was a catastrophe that left a lot of pain, the academy still produced many heroes, and its reputation grew day by day.

Tailey McLaure, the swordsman who killed the dragon. Isla Triss, who inherited the name of the Great Sage.

Ziggs Eiffelstein, the great hero of the northern steppes. Blademaster Clevius Nortondale, who mastered blood swordsmanship,

Elvira Aniston, an alchemist of innovation. The next emperor of the Chloel Empire, Fenia Elias Chloel.

To Lortel Keheln, the next member of the Elte Chamber.

The main character’s generation graduates with a shining light. He was praised at graduation ceremonies and continued his life as a hero who will leave his mark in the history of the empire.

The Sylvania Academy, which was their cradle, still stands tall on Aken Island.

To produce new heroes and to nurture talents who will shape the next era.

And, many new students flock to the academy without any doubt.

“Wow, whoa...”

A boy holding a magic wand tightly looked at the freshman candidates who had gathered at the entrance of the North Forest of Aken Island.

All of them are children of prestigious families. It is full of all kinds of noble children and celebrities that even a boy from a village can recognize at a glance.

Among the crowd, who had gathered with the sole desire to become a freshman at the Sylvania Academy, the boy’s childhood friend patted him on the back.

“Don’t be discouraged, Felim!”

“Hey, Elia...! Who said that!”

“Even if I pretend to be, I’m trembling from desperation! In a place like this, you have to be more confident! ruler! Don’t be rude! You won’t lose to anyone by your efforts!”

The girl who inspires the boy who is shaking like that is also the one who came to enter this Sylvania Academy.

As I watched the boy pat the boy on the back while holding the large cane tightly, the boy finally regained his composure and gathered up his courage.

“That’s right... I don’t lose by working hard...!”

As the boy was so focused, a tall man came out from among the students.

It was full of roaring sounds. It was because all the freshman candidates gathered here knew the man’s face.

– ‘Hey, Ed Roth-Taylor...!’

– ‘Gee, that’s true...! Bo...I came here myself...!’

– ‘Shh... I can hear you...! Seeing a celebrity for the first time?! Hey, I’m the professor in charge of selecting new students, so I’ll come in person!’

The age difference doesn’t seem too small, but just appearing with the title of professor and wearing a cloak feels intimidating to those around you.

Assistant professor Tracyana, who followed behind them and took notes, also felt like she was pressing on the students around her with her memory.

At last, a man came out in front of the crowd. When the assistant professor who followed him instructs him to be quiet, the area became completely quiet.

With his back to the inside of the northern forest, the man who looked around for a moment spoke.

“It took a lot of hard work to come this far. Everyone has their own circumstances, so they definitely want to go to Sylvania, but unfortunately, only half of them can be admitted to Sylvania.”

Ed Roth-Taylor spoke the truth with an expressionless face.

When I actually heard Professor Ed Roth-Taylor’s voice, which I had only heard through rumors, there was a strange sense of upliftment among the students. They only realized that they really came to Sylvania Academy.

When Ed Roth-Taylor glanced at the assistant professor and gave her instructions, assistant professor Tracyana raised her magic.

After a while, all the illusion discs installed in the northern forest started to work, and various low-level monsters and low-level spirit-type illusions were scattered in the forest. The illusion itself won’t do any physical damage, but if you’re attacked, you’ll suffer from aftereffects that accompany mental pain.

In the forest, the monsters made bizarre sounds, and the berserk spirits roared. The sound passed through the trees and reached the entrance where everyone was gathered.

The freshman candidates are novice with splendid backgrounds, but no practical experience. They swallowed dry saliva all at once and began to get nervous.

“From here, you just need to cross the forest to the other side of the northern cliff. The evaluation itself is not very complicated. There is no need to choose means and methods.”

Ed Roth-Taylor spoke with his eyes closed.

“Stay alive.”

The only concise and clear requirement was that Ed Roth-Taylor demanded of the incoming students.

Because it was the most important thing.

Surviving the Academy
