103 – Celebration (1)

The news of Ruid’s research announcement spread quickly, reaching even the imperial family.

Lucius calmly listened to Michael’s report and then asked.

“Looks like the whole empire is shaking. To the extent that the mage in the Mage Tower stopped all research and even discussed it.”

“It’s Ruid’s research presentation. It can only be noisy.”

Lucius always raised a corner of his mouth strangely whenever he heard Ruid’s story.

But this time, I didn’t laugh at all.

What I have to do from now on is to completely exclude personal feelings, as the ‘Emperor’.

“The time has finally come.”

“Yes.”

Michael lowered his head.

“Tell Ruid that we will hold a celebration. However, send the invitation to Amelia Windsor.”

Lucius was waiting for now. It was because he firmly believed that Ruid would make a ‘great achievement’ in the near future.

And that’s the cornerstone of the plan to ‘change the heir to the House of Windsor’-

It was the only way.

“From now on, you should keep in mind that there should not be any mistakes. The fate of the empire is at stake here.”

Lucius was trumpeted.

Michael couldn’t understand why the emperor reacted so sensitively.

However, the emperor’s aides do not need any personal opinion.

Michael prostrated himself and spoke briefly.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

**

“A celebration?”

“Yes.”

“I hate it.”

Louise shook her head at Amelia as she handed out the letter with the burdensome seal on it.

“I’ve been wandering around a lot these days, so I want to rest.”

“Your Majesty, it’s a celebration for Ruid.”

“My sister, go alone.”

It is a grateful thing that the emperor holds a celebration for himself.

But I couldn’t really go.

“It’s annoying.”

Louise rolled her body up on the fox cushion.

Amelia looked down at her sister with her bewildered face.

“It’s Ruid’s celebration, but what’s the point if Ruid doesn’t attend?”

Louis buried her face in her pillow.

“Your sister can attend instead of me.”

“No. What do you think of Your Majesty? Windsor must respect the Imperial Family.”

“Irene noona would have told me not to go.”

“Your mother would have told you to attend?”

“I hate crowded places. Your Majesty will understand. I know this well. And only my older sister received the invitation.”

“But… ! Where in the world is there a celebration where the main character doesn’t come!”

Amelia was in complete embarrassment.

Basically because Amelia thinks she should respect the emperor.

“I lifted the ban on pocket money, so why don’t you keep doing that? You promised to respect your sister.”

‘I will never go.’

Originally, I hate places with a lot of people.

But I really didn’t want to go there because I had the nature of ‘lazy Ruid’.

“Say it hurts.”

“It doesn’t hurt!”

“They say her grandmother passed away.”

“My grandmother is alive! She says she’s still correcting it.”

Ruid jumped up in annoyance.

She glared at Amelia.

“That Jeongdon noona takes care of it. I am 12 years old.”

“Wouldn’t it be a bit lacking in conscience to say that with your own mouth?”

Amelia stretched her shoulders.

If Ruid is stubborn once, he can never be defeated.

‘It can’t be helped.’

No matter how important the emperor’s words were, he couldn’t ignore Ruid’s will.

“…… I’ll figure it out then.”

Louis waved his arm insincerely.

“Fighting.”

Amelia’s eyes trembled.

“Louis. When you talk to a person, look her in the face and say it.”

Louise looked at Amelia with her nonchalant eyes.

‘This time. It’s time to fix the broken hierarchy.’

Amelia ate her heart.

But-

“Sorry.”

Louise apologized briefly and hugged her pillow again.

‘I’m pissed… !’

Amelia stared at the sleeping Louis for a while, shaking her body.

**

The first class of the Imperial Academy’s student council was successfully established.

In the past, the main building that Ruid had once worked for became the seat of the student council.

It was a half-destroyed building, but thanks to the ‘recovery magic’ that Ruid had cast in the past, the basic framework was maintained-

In less than a month, the building was able to be rebuilt in good condition.

There, the first student council led by Damon had their first meeting.

“I thought the student council would start moving in earnest from next semester…… But Prince Damon. This is too far!”

The vice president, Hersie, opened the topic, but jumped up in amazement.

The desk in the meeting room was not a common style in the Empire.

In the empire, the round table is mainly used in the sense of eliminating the distinction of status and speaking freely.

But now they are sitting at a long, square table.

Also, Damon was sitting far in the middle, enjoying a glass of wine.

How far it was, his face looked like a small dot.

“Please refrain from talking, b*tch.”

Damon raised his wine glass and captured Hercy’s face.

“This is Jim’s palace.”

“Is this the imperial family? What! And you are not His Majesty the Emperor!”

Hersie, who was at least immune, at least tackled it, but the two commoners were trembling.

Especially Asha, the clerk who suddenly became a member of the student council, was to die for.

‘Ah, in front is the young lady of the marquis. Next to me is the former prince. Besides, that person is Professor Ruid’s assistant…… !’

He’s a timid personality, but he didn’t know what to do when he saw the sky-like great aristocrats he didn’t see often.

“But why am I here… ?”

Ella blinked her eyes and said curiously.

He came because Louis told him to come, but he didn’t know why he was sitting here.

“Did Ruid not tell you?”

Hersy asked, and Ella shook her head.

“Yes… Other than telling me to come this way suddenly.”

“You are the head of the General Affairs Department. In the future, I will be managing various funds of the student council.”

“Yes, yes?”

Ella was startled.

“Ha, but I was expelled… ?”

“Ha.”

Hersy sighed.

“Who do you think Ruid is?”

“Yes?”

“That doesn’t matter at all. There is nothing the youngest of the Windsor family cannot do at her academy.”

“Oops.”

Ella covered her mouth.

“Then, can I take classes as well…?” ?”

Hersy was bewildered.

“Does it matter?”

Nodding.

Ella nodded her head. Hersey was dumbfounded inwardly.

‘You’re taking classes while writing a thesis that will be acknowledged by the academic world?’

What kind of deception is this?

“Of course. As long as you’re Ruid’s assistant, you can take classes as many times as you like…… “

“Hey, thank you!”

Ella immediately hugged Hercy.

When Ella, who was much bigger than herself, hugged her, Hercy took on the shape of a hug.

“What, what are you doing!”

“Ah, ah. Sorry. You are so happy… “

Ella timidly muttered after her bold behavior.

“I… Gui, is it rude to act like this to a noble? ?”

Hercy was not an easy character.

He never forgives disrespect for himself.

But I knew something about Ella.

She is feeling a little responsible.

So, Hercy didn’t get angry and said calmly.

“…… Please be careful next time. And, thank you to Ruid, not me.”

“At that point, report back, Hersie.”

Damon said in a deep voice.

But it was so far away that it sounded like a mosquito.

Hersy looked at Damon with cold eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

“Stop it and come this way. I can’t even hear your voice.”

“Hey. What a bold girl.”

Just—!

Damon snapped his fingers.

“Oh, wow!” Asha was startled and made a strange noise.

It was because the table was shrinking in an instant and they had reached in front of Damon before they knew it.

Hersy was also quite embarrassed.

“Note, was it a table that also had a shrinking function?”

“Do not underestimate the wealth of this body.”

Damon chuckled.

Said, resting his chin on it.

“Speak. Isn’t there a story you haven’t told before?”

“Ah.”

Hersh opened his mouth with an expression that he forgot.

“… This is the first task the student council of the Imperial Academy will take on. A grand banquet is scheduled for Professor Ruid’s historic discovery. Because it is a teaching achievement from the academy, the students deserve it too.”

“Oh, then it will be our job to select those students.”

“Yes. Since the heirs of influential aristocratic families will be invited to the banquet in the first place, we have to choose the periphery nobles or commoners.”

“It’s a simple matter.”

It was a very simple decision for Damon.

Because I lived a life that decided my whole life.

“Aristocrats are excluded as participants in banquets. Because they have already been given one chance. No two times Five people who will attend the banquet are chosen as commoners. Also-“

Damon continued.

“It is impossible for this noble body to select the lowly people. How can you judge when your eye level is not right? It is right that the same lowly people take on this job.”

“Does that mean leaving it to Ella and Asha?”

“You are a quick-witted girl.”

Hersy nodded.

“I think it’s a good decision. Ella, Asha.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Yes.”

Asha responded with a startled response, and Ella responded slowly.

“Please coordinate with the two of you to select the commoners who will attend the banquet. If you have any difficulties in the process, please come to me right away. I will resolve that amicably.”

Hercy also provided several other criteria.

Damon listened to the story in one ear and let it out, thinking about another.

‘Are you going to start in earnest?’

Ruid’s research hasn’t even been announced yet.

A celebration at this timing.

I couldn’t erase the feeling of being rushed.

Damon was strongly convinced that the emperor had drawn his sword.

‘It’s very difficult to make credit in an era of peace.’

There is only one way for Amelia Windsor to become her successor.

Set the ball higher than Irene Windsor.

However, Irene Windsor’s achievements were the subjugation of warlocks and the extermination of corrupt aristocrats.

‘Are you afraid of irrational numbers, brother? Well- if I hadn’t known, my brother’s plan would have been perfect.’

For Amelia’s insufficient skills, the emperor entrusted the creation of the strongest knights in the empire.

She retained her power while using the original Teutons as they were.

A celebratory party is a great place to use that paving stone.

Perhaps the emperor was waiting for this moment.

A place where many influential nobles participate.

A place where commoners exist who inflate incidents and spread rumors to the people.

The banquet satisfies all of that.

In a place like that, what if you lay the plate for Amelia Windsor?

For example, ‘uninvited guests’ broke into the banquet hall.

Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll have no choice but to eat it.

If successful, it could have a great impact on the succession plan of the Duke of Windsor.

Damon laughed like he was laughing after he figured everything out.

“What a trivial play.”

“Yes?”

“This is not a banquet, this is a third-rate skit. But even a skit like that can be top-notch, depending on who the characters are.”

Damon rose from his seat, hands in his pockets, and spoke arrogantly.

“Shine on me, lowly people. The owner of this play is only me.”

Hersy opened his eyes wide.

‘What kind of bullsh*t is this?’

… Hercy’s common sense couldn’t understand Damon at all.
