Chapter 340

“Can I have that? It doesn’t look very appetizing.”

“The taste is delicious, but…”

Rowena said with a little confidence in Lee Han’s harsh criticism.

Not all elves are strictly vegetarian, but some elven families do love vegetables. Lee Han knew that, so he didn’t blame Rowena.

“Don’t say that it doesn’t look appetizing. However, considering the remaining schedule, it would be better to eat well.”

Lee Han took Cltran’s plate with his horse.

When the plate on which the thick pancakes soaked in honey and syrup, the three kinds of fruit tarts, and the crispy three-layer meat pie were piled close to art was taken away, Ctran put on a more painful expression than the last time he broke his ankle.

However, the princess’s face brightened slightly.

Lee Han placed the plate in front of the princess and held out the green plate to Cltran.

“Cltran. You eat this.”

“…Can’t we just bring it back? Wodanaz?”

“Sure.”

Cltran stood up impatiently, hoping that the pancakes weren’t all gone. Rowena said, seeing that there was no plate in front of Lee Han.

“Wouldn’t it be better to have something to eat?”

“Since this is enough for me, I think you’d better fill the plate.”

“I’m fine too…”

“What? Her Highness the Princess? Are you worried? You are worried.”

The princess put the pancake in her mouth and looked at Lee Han as if she was absurd, but Lee-han ignored her.

Rowena stood up from her seat as if she understood.

“really. Are you sure you would be okay with that plate?”

“are you okay.”

Lee Han didn’t like Rowena’s fresh green plate, but he wasn’t hungry, and more than anything, Lee Han was used to rough food.

Even when the friends at the Blue Dragon’s Tower snickered with the hard black bread, Lee Han could pass it down his throat without hesitation.

“Sir Wardanaz likes vegetables as well.”

“That’s not… no. Just bring a plate and come. The break is over.”

Lee Han sent Rowena out of her seat again. Then he said to the princess.

“Aren’t your followers harassing you?”

The princess choked and coughed while eating. Lee Han handed over the glass. The princess drank some fruit juice and answered slowly.

“…no.”

“Isn’t it really? I’ve been thinking about it since I was in school, but that seems to be bothering me a bit.”

The princess was silent for a moment. He seemed to be choosing what to say.

“There are no bad intentions… no. It’s just a little bit… overly ambitious…”

‘Guinando needs to see that.’

Lee Han admired how the princess tried not to curse her followers as much as possible.

If it had been Gainando, criticism would have come out right away, saying, ‘These kids say I want to eat, but I can’t eat, I want to play, but I can’t play, and I won’t study, but I force them to do it. What kind of followers are these?’

“Can’t I tell you to restrain yourself? Even if you say a word, you will understand.”

At Lee Han’s words, the princess shook her head.

Then, he explained to his followers that it was irresponsible as a member of the royal family to behave arbitrarily and that it was to break their expectations.

As long as he is supported by the royal family, he has the responsibility to show what his followers expect.

A person who solemnly nods without saying anything is more charismatic than saying “I’m not who you think”.

‘What is it?’

Lee Han was shocked beyond admiration.

You must be thinking like that.

Of course, there could have been someone in the imperial family who had that kind of responsibility, but after playing with Gainando, I was surprised that I was compared to them.

‘Aren’t you about five years older than Gainando?’

“Still, the number of followers won’t be that high yet, so wouldn’t it be better to persuade them from now on? How many followers do you have?”

Lee Han was a bit embarrassed to put them together with Bogajun, Juderantas, and the two of them, but he thought of the followers of Gainando.

According to the rumors of the city, the followers of Bo Ga-jun were about a medium-sized earth elemental mage guild, a well-known adventurer party, a top three bank, two guerrilla teams, and five urban noble families. There was one tower built by wizards from Valdrogard, a large leather guild, a mage tower specializing in killing plants, two swordsman guilds, and three knight families.

Those who are considered followers of Kainando are, if forced to be selected, the owner of a candy store in Grand City or a toy store owner.

Of course, there were more followers of the princess than Gainando, but it was worth trying to persuade them one by one and gain human support if they were at least Judrantas.

“Palm Tree Knights Red Bull Wizard Tower Empire Western Union Chamber of Commerce Cross Brothers Swordsmen Ordo party…” “……”

However

, from the princess’s mouth, a completely different list than Lee Han expected came out.

The Palm Tree Knights were an honorary knighthood formed by the great nobility of the empire, and although their strength was weaker than that of the real knights, their name value was at a level comparable to that of several knightly orders.

The Imperial Western Union Chamber of Commerce was a huge capital group formed by the merchants and merchants of the western region, and the Cross Brothers Swordsmen was a prestigious swordsmanship guild that produced many outstanding swordsmen. Several knights went to learn swordsmanship, so there was no need to say more. The Olodo Party was an adventurer’s party that Lee Han-do had heard the name of a few times, and

‘was it like this?’

I thought that my name would often appear in the imperial newspapers, but I would have thought that such big names were already supporting it.

Even that isn’t the end, isn’t there more to come?

Lee Han understood why so many of his freshman friends supported the princess.

‘I guess I’ll want to support it too.’

Isn’t that the horse with the highest winning rate in the empire? Even Lee Han seemed to want to support him.

The princess stopped talking and looked at Lee Han.

It was a face that expected him to give clear advice about the current situation as he was the senior in the year who was doing a lot of things even during vacation.

“Your Highness the Princess.”

“!”

“Cheer up.”

“……”

The princess glared at Lee Han.

The words are different from before.

“…Didn’t I ask you to convince me?”

“hmm. Come to think of it, sometimes it seems that dignity is better than persuasion. There is a saying that silence is more precious than gold. See also Cainan over there.”

The princess couldn’t refute when she dishonestly cited Kainan Island as an example.

* * *

Until the end of the event, Lee Han did not let go of his tension, but there were no attacks.

Lee Han let out a sigh of relief when he saw the skeleton headmaster greet the city’s aristocrats with a gloomy look.

‘I survived somehow.’

“really. Mr. Wodanaz. I have a question for you on the way.”

Lee Han was puzzled by Rowena’s words.

“Is this a proposal to do something like an adventurer’s request?”

During vacation, some of the White Tiger Tower students who had heard rumors would suggest whenever they saw Lee Han, ‘I found this request, and if I succeed, we can all sit on a heap of gold coins’.

However, in Lee Han’s eyes, most of them were false requests. Because the possibility was so slim, no one touched it, and the color of the request was faded.

“ah. sorry. I haven’t heard anything new about the quest to subdue a being that could be the king of ghouls.”

“…Rowenna. First of all, I’m not the kind of person who only looks for a ghoul king.”

“Be humble.”

Rowena laughed as if she was going to get over it. Lee Han thought all of the white tiger top guys were really annoying.

“So what do you want to ask?”

Rowena pulled out a thin booklet from her bosom. The cover of the booklet read:

Honorable Highness Ardenart, may this riddle ease your boredom.

“Isn’t that really rude?!”

“Uh… Huh?”

Because Lee Han couldn’t keep up with Rowena’s resentment, his reaction was a beat late.

Rowena belatedly explained.

Among the followers of the princess, there were those who actively believed in and supported her like Rowena, but there were also those who compared, tested, and seasoned.

Of course, these people had strong power even in an empire that had nothing to regret. Without that level, I couldn’t walk a tightrope like that.

The riddle I received this time was from one of the imperial dukes. Since the horse is a gift, the recipient could lose his reputation if he couldn’t solve it, so he had no choice but to be very careful.

“That’s definitely rude…”

“The Duke sent me this riddle the other day! Doing things once is enough…! If you keep doing this no matter how much you reward with gold coins…”

“Gold coins?”

“yes?”

“Didn’t I just say gold coins?”

“yes. Did you?”

Of course, since the other party was from the royal family, I didn’t just send a riddle like that and finish it.

It was the noble’s honor to send an apology for the test and send a huge gift as a congratulation if the riddle was answered correctly. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hearing that explanation, Lee Han felt enormous jealousy towards Adenart.

‘I envy you!’

Even Lee Han can solve such riddles with great effort, so why don’t other great nobles send them to Lee Han?

In fact, Lee Han also knew the reason. Sending something like that between great nobles who seemed to be allowed to send something like that because they were members of the imperial family, one of the heirs of the empire, was just a madman’s argument.

“for a moment. Gainando is… no. done. I was about to ask something. Anyway, is that why we are all pondering this riddle together?”

“yes.”

“Have you all been thinking about it the other day?”

“yes.”

“Did the princess take all the gold coins she received?”

“no. Did you share it with us?”

“……”

Lee Han seriously wondered if he should have become friends with the princess rather than Cainan.

Of course, I was satisfied enough even now, but after hearing the story of the princess’s followers, I felt a bit regretful…

“Isn’t this the wordanaz family wizard?”

Lee Han, who was worried, raised his head. Surprisingly, the owner of the familiar voice was Duke Ikhaldoren.

“This is a happy coincidence. It’s been quite a while since we last met. To meet you like this.”

It was a lie, of course.

The reason Duke Ikhaldoren appeared around here today was to make contact with worthy students of the Magic School.

And if it was a boy from the Wardanaz family, it could be said to be the most valuable card.

‘To be with Princess Adenart? Are you supporting the princess? I heard that Kainan is also close with the prince?’

Duke Ikhaldoren had a lot of thoughts and worries even in that short period of time.

“I am delighted to see you. Your Highness the Duke.”

“If it’s okay, would you like to talk for a minute?”

Rowena made an expression of blatant disapproval. Lee Han stabbed Rowena in the back to tell her to manage her expression.

-what’s the matter?

-That duke sent you a rude riddle!

– No really? Well, the last time I cooked a large basilisk egg…

– Yes?

-Nothing.

Whether or not the duke kept trying to test the princess didn’t matter to Lee Han.

And if it was the duke who came up with the riddle, he had to take a closer approach. Wouldn’t it be possible to find out at least a hint?

Just then, a gloomy energy flowed from the alley. It was a dangerous aura mixed with blatantly killing.

Prince Ikhaldoren’s escorts jumped in surprise.

“Stand back. master!”

“All right. I will deal with you.”

Lee Han sighed and raised his staff.

At that ridiculous confidence, the escorts didn’t know whether to be shocked, dissuaded, or angry, so their reaction was delayed by a beat.

“What the hell… Mr. Wardanaz. I know you’re a magician from Einrogard, but this is no joke…”

“I said I’d deal with you.”

Lee Han looked down the alley.

Then he shook his head. It seemed to him that the skeleton headmaster was playing too much.

It should be done inside the banquet hall, but if you do this outside, won’t there be outsiders who get involved like this?

“…for a moment.”

Lee Han felt something strange.

No matter how much I thought about the energy coming out of the alley getting stronger, it didn’t seem like a joke.
