Chapter 76

“what? no.”

After hearing the whole story, Ruid spoke in disgust.

‘There are only more mouths to feed...!’

Michael was taken aback by the firm order to congratulate the guests.

“yes...? That, Confucius. “This is an imperial command and cannot be refused.”

“go back. “Your Majesty, I will speak for you.”

“Confucius. This is not an order that you can refuse just because you don’t like it. Even if you don’t like it, you have to accept it.”

“what. Even if I get scolded, I get scolded.”

Ruid said coldly. I put my hands in my pockets, ignored them, and walked in the opposite direction.

I know very well how strong the Teutonic Knights are. Here, it is just a legend. But there was no need. Ruid has things like military power, honor, and money, but he’s not good at it....

‘Money?’

Ruid stopped walking.

I quietly turned around.

“Do you have any money?”

“Money...?”

“Tell us one by one. “From you.”

He pointed to Michael.

“Yes... His Majesty’s aides don’t have days off, so I was saving up every penny I received from my salary.”

“pass. next.”

Ruid looked at Charon this time.

“...Me too. “I had no particular use for it, so I was saving it.”

“pass. next.”

Galahad frowned.

“My relatives are extremely wealthy.”

“pass. next.”

This time it was Shearer. He was a silent man.

‘He was probably the best munchkin.’

Even in the famously strong Teutons, he was ranked 1st or 2nd. A young genius prosecutor. The appearance is also decent.

But what was important to Ruid wasn’t that, it was money.

Shearer just shook his head. Charon defended.

“Shearer has no money.”

“fail. next.”

This time it was a woman with black hair and long bangs.

I said I saw it somewhere, but then I remembered it.

‘Academy student?’

I remember him as a student of the swordsmanship club. I saw it in passing when Amelia trained her last time.

Its presence was so faint that it was difficult to find it even with Ruid’s memory, which always remembers what he saw once.

“Claire is new. “He’s a commoner and probably doesn’t have money.”

“....”

Claire lowered her head. He seems to have a timid personality. Ruid spoke coldly.

“fail. Next... Is this person okay?”

Ruid had bleary eyes as he looked at Nolan, who had become half a zombie.

Michael urgently explained what had happened.

Whisper quietly.

‘...ah. So I felt refreshed.’

It seemed like it was Nolan’s magic that was consumed in the dream. They say he’s the most skilled wizard in Teutonia, and it’s somehow delicious.

Ruid held Nolan’s hand and injected magical power into it.

Like a balloon popping up, Nolan quickly came to his senses.

“omg!”

Nolan was very surprised to see himself. Sorry, but I asked from the point on.

“Do you have money?”

“...Well, it was there until yesterday.”

“There was?”

“I lost it all by gambling. haha.”

Ruid hated gambling addicts. The sentence was handed down immediately.

“fail.”

“Now, just a moment! Give me a little time and I can save you! I heard it’s good to use cards today! Gold Dragon Confucius!”

Ruid clearly ignored it.

I immediately looked at Judith.

Judith was smiling brightly, showing off her healthy teeth.

“Bye, it’s been a while. “You remember me, right??”

Of course I remember.

‘Why on earth were the Teutonic Knights in an inn frequented by commoners?’

It was a person I met at a place called ‘The Inn Where the Wind Stays’ around the time I was about to leave the academy.

He introduced himself as a mercenary, but he could not have been a knight. I never thought he would be a member of the Teutonic Knights.

Since Ruid hid his identity at the time, he decided to criticize him.

What is more important than that.

Amelia was taken aback, but eventually spoke honestly.

“...They say they have reflected on the outside. Don’t you know? “He’s a kid who I can’t tell what he’s thinking, so... honestly, I can’t tell.”

[Hmm.]

Victoria nodded calmly.

[i get it. But, Amelia. Keep in mind.]

“....”

[There is a minimum expectation that a Windsor must meet. I believe it hasn’t even been a year yet, but if you can’t do anything right, you can’t be called a Windsor.]

Victoria said sternly.

“...yes.”

Amelia lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

‘Why... can’t I be like my sister?’

About 8 years ago.

I remember 14-year-old Irene, who achieved great achievements and returned home welcomed by the people of the territory.

It is said that it ended a dangerous situation that could have led to war. Keeping the peace. That was a tremendous achievement.

Young Amelia looked at Irene with sparkling eyes and made a promise.

He said that in the future, he would definitely end up like that.

However, the reality was harsh.

It’s already been a year and a half since I left Windsor Castle, but I’ve only achieved small things.

Rather, he was unable to take responsibility for his mother’s only request, ‘Take care of Ruid’.

Ruid became more spoiled, and was still a child.

‘What would it be like if it were my sister?’

Amelia could swear.

The incident at Ruid’s main building would never have happened if Irene had been in charge of education instead of him.

Amelia clenched her molars.

[I’m always looking forward to it. [Amelia.]

Victoria spoke to Irene calmly and hung up the transmission.

Even though the light in the crystal ball went out, Amelia was unable to wake up for a while.

**

‘It’s time to eat, but where have you gone?’

Ruid looked at the empty main building with a sullen expression.

No, I tried to cook the meal despite the inconvenience, but you stopped me?

“Prince Luid. “Who are you looking for?”

Michael spoke. Ruid looked at me in surprise.

“What, are you still there?”

“...I’ve been following you ever since.”

“He’s a strange kid. I said it was okay to take a break. “Do you like your job that much?”

“Resting is something that people who have rested know how to do. For someone like Michael who has worked all his life, not working is actually more uncomfortable. The son of a peacock who has been playing all his life may not understand. is not it? young master.”

Galahad said with a grin.

Ruid looked at Galahad hesitantly.

‘To the theme of losing at rock, paper, scissors.’

-Then who will be the escort first?

-How about deciding with rock, paper, scissors?

-That’s good! I already wanted to see the academy.

...was something that happened a while ago.

Ruid ignored it and walked on. As I was walking down the hallway, I happened to see Gilbert and decided to ask him.

“Gilbert. “Do you know where your sister is?”

“If you are the leader, you are at the training hall. “Can I guide you?”

“huh.”

‘You’re training. That’s strange. Ame-san only trains at home.’

They don’t do well at the academy because they don’t have anyone to train with. Because I have an all-purpose maid, Sherry, at home.

Anyway, Ruid headed to the training ground. Thinking about what to eat today.

“Is the gym indoors?”

“yes. Among the benefits of being the head of the swordsmanship club, there is also the right to use a personal training hall.”

The training hall was on the first floor of the same building. I opened the door and entered a huge interior.

It was a room made of old-looking wood, but the contradiction was that the main swordsmanship club building was made of marble.

‘oh... Uncle Delrin worked hard.’

Ruid immediately realized that there was a powerful dimensional movement magic in this space itself.

The reason why wood was used was because it was the material that absorbs the most magical energy.

Familiar people were gathered there. It was the Teutonic Knights.

“It’s a battle between Windsor and Kairos.”

“...There are rumors that if Prince Damon were older, he would have become emperor.”

“Shearer. Refrain from speaking. “It is blasphemous.”

In the center, Amelia and Damon were facing each other.

“I almost missed this interesting sight.”

“huh? Why is Galahad here? Oh, we’re home now?”

‘Why is my sister sparring with Damon...?’

Ruid blinked, sat down at a reasonable distance from the Teutonic Knights, and hugged his knees.

I’m not sure what it was, but Ruid decided to watch.

Kaang!

The sparring began with Damon’s spear and Amelia’s sword clashing.
