Chapter 370: Reverse Scale (4)

Chapter 370: Reverse Scale (4)

7.

The Crown Prince, along with his close aides, stealthily hid himself in a small town. It was more of an escape than a flightindeed, an escape from reality.

First, lets send an envoy to suggest surrender.

I surrounded the small town with the Duke Ivansias Knights, the Imperial Knights, and my own vassals. We then formally sent an envoy to propose surrender politely.

Of course, the Crown Prince, who had fled from reality, was not in any mood to observe such formalities.

According to the envoy who returned, His Highness the Crown Prince screamed, You are invaders from another world! I am the foundation of the Empire! I will never bow my head to the likes of lowlifes from another world!

I clicked my tongue after hearing the news.

How foolish.

Yes. If I had intimidated the Crown Prince without any justification, I would have been treated as an invader from another world.

There were quite a few nobles and citizens of the Empire who disliked the other world. If handled well, the Crown Princes argument that we must stand against the threat of the other world could have gained traction.

However, I had the legitimacy granted by the Emperor.

From the clothes I was wearing to the Empires attire, I was none other than the wife of the Duke of Ivansia, acting under the solemn command of His Majesty the Emperor, not a monarch from another world.

Checkmate.

What are you planning to do now?

Sylvia approached me and asked. She, being well-versed in the affairs of the Empire, was assisting me.

Based on my past experiences with him, I would advise you to drop any expectations of his surrender. That man. Once he sets his mind on something, he does not relent.

So what if he doesnt surrender?

Heh, so?

I grasped the hilt of the holy sword.

Ill capture him.

That night, I alone climbed over the city walls.

The Crown Princes forces were seemingly prepared for a siege, as the security was quite strict. Which is to say, it was [quite] strict but not nearly strict enough. If they wanted to stop me, they needed to have set up an immensely meticulous and terrifying security, not this, my good man.

Less than an hour had passed before I infiltrated the Crown Princes bedroom.

Huffff Uhhhhm.

The blonde Crown Prince was deeply asleep, oblivious to the world, even though the knights outside his bedroom were all knocked out.

I snickered and poked his cheek.

Hey. You. Arent you going to wake up?

The Crown Prince squinted murkily at me. He still hadnt grasped reality.

Ughhuh, hmm What is it?

What is it, indeed? How can you not prepare yourself properly? I am the one who married your first fiance and has taken your second fiance as a vassal.

What? Heuk!?

Only then did the Crown Princes eyes snap open. I had been waiting for this moment. I immediately flicked the princes eyelid with my finger.

AAAACK!? My eye, my eyeeee!?

The Crown Prince covered his face and fell from the bed.

Tch. That was a light tap, and youre making such a fuss.

Guards! Guardssss! Theres an intruder! An intruder has appeared! What are you guards doing!?

Your guards are all knocked out. You udon noodle vongole mussel jjamppong bastard. You seolleongtang leftover noodles that dont come out even after 30 minutes of ordering. Cant you tell that Im gently stroking your eyebrows? (ED: udon noodle vongole mussel jjamppong are different types of noodles)

Guards! Guardssssss!

I crouched down and looked down at the Crown Prince.

The so-called condescending pose.

The Crown Prince, having never expected to find himself in such a position due to his royal birth, shuddered violently as our eyes met.

W-Why is no one responding to my call!Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Because Ive covered a 6-meter radius around us with an aura dome. No matter how much you whimper, the sound wont reach outside the barrier.

Thats impossible-

Its happened. And it will continue. Crown Prince. Since I dont like facing you either, lets finish this quickly.

I pulled out a scroll from my bosom. It was an imperial edict stamped with the Emperors seal.

What, wha What is that!

The Crown Prince, recognizing the seal, gaped. I flicked my finger and this time hit the Crown Princes lips. Huiiik!? A truly disgraceful scream echoed.

My dear child. For your simple little head, I will personally paraphrase His Majesty the Emperors sublime words.

I smiled broadly at the Crown Prince whose lips were now burst open.

From today, you will be studying abroad in our world.

St, study abroad? What nonsense is this?

Well. Its called study abroad to sound nice, but its actually exile. You bastard. Did you really think you could get away with trying to poison Raviel and threatening the Emperor?

Anyway. I also took care of all sorts of miscellaneous paperwork while greeting the goshiwon owner, Family Head. Starting next week, that Crown Prince will be able to enroll in school. Hell become the transfer student, the blonde prince.

Good work.

Really, its nothing but hardships But I shouldnt be the one to say this. The bureaucrats of this stage are too corrupt, arent they? The administration is as full of holes as a sponge.

Well. It just proved the omnipotent power of gold bars.

I wonder how much you fed them

The Crown Prince watched us chatter heartily, completely losing his soul.

Si, Sylvia? Do you not recognize me? And why did you call me Hwang-tae earlier? (ED: Hwang-tae (), his new name, is taken from the Korean of Crown Price i.e. )

Ah, right. I almost forgot.

Sylvia rummaged through her briefcase and pulled out something. It was a card.

This will now be the only means to verify your identity, Your Highness

Sylvia courteously handed over a newly made student ID card. On the ID, the Crown Princes photo was printed, his eyes half-closed.

The text on it read:

+

[Student ID]

Name: Kim Hwang-tae

Affiliation: Shinseo High School

+

Kim Hwang-tae?

Yes. Thats your name from today.

I sent him a zesty smile.

Hwang-tae, youre a second-generation expatriate who happened to return to the country. But youve been kicked out of your home and are living alone in this goshiwon. Naturally, you have no allowance, and youll need to find part-time jobs or menial work to earn money. Do you understand?

Part-time job? Menial work? What nonsense are you spouting!

Yes, it seems our Hwang-tae hasnt grasped the situation at all, which I find quite satisfying.

I patted Kim Hwang-taes head.

If youre three months behind on rent here at the goshiwon, youre out. If you skip school for more than a week, youre out. To our Hwang-tae, who has been pampered as royalty his entire life, this world might feel quite harsh. But, Hwang-tae that is precisely! The real reality!

.

Endure it! Cheer up! You can do it!

I clenched my fist tightly.

Although no one in this city will treat you as a Crown Prince! And they wont care where youve come tumbling from! Originally! The world! Doesnt care about you at all!

.

Work! As a student, there wont be many ways to earn money. But, thats just how it is! Earning money is inherently hard! Work and work hard, and with your effort and sweat, secure enough food to survive the day! If you cant, you might starve to death Youll die, perhaps! But that, too, is the natural course of things!

..

Hwang-tae!

I grabbed Kim Hwang-taes shoulders.

And I asked him, face looking as if his soul had left his body.

How long have you ever gone without food?

What. Wha?

Dont worry. If you starve for a couple of days, youll see the world differently! Ill be cheering for our Kim Hwang-taes new life from afar! Fighting!

I put down 30,000 won and turned my back.

Sylvia also bowed deeply to Kim Hwang-tae.

Farewell, Your Highness Hwang-tae. Honestly, if you had ever sought me out after I became indebted to the Family Head, I might have done something for you now. Well. Cant be helped! I too will support you from a distance!

We both swiftly left the room.

As we walked down the gloomy staircase, Sylvia said,

So, how many years do you plan to keep him before sending him back to the Empire?

Send him back? Why send him at all. He should live out his life here. The second prince has already been designated as the successor; even if he returns, what awaits him but further purges? Leaving him here is a mercy, true mercy.

You really are a devil, Family Head

From beyond the goshiwon staircase, a desperate scream was heard.

That day, a blonde prince, a foreign student, transferred to the 29th floors Shinseo High School.

According to later stories, Kim Hwang-tae, who had fasted for four days straight, eventually started helping with menial tasks for the goshiwon owner and began his second school life.

Hang in there, Kim Hwang-tae! You are the protagonist of this spin-off!
