Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

95 – Damon’s Choice (1)

‘Garden of Starlight’, called Paradise of the Imperial Academy

It’s usually a place with a lot of floating population, but today Damon was alone.

[ Under construction! No entry. ]

It’s because Damon, who learned a trick from Ruid, used it right away.

Damon reclined on a picnic chair, shaking a gorgeous golden wine glass.

‘This, the flavor is excellent.’

It was when Damon relaxed and sipped his wine.

“Damon.”

“Huh?”

The second princess, Irina, approached me with a flawless smile. Damon asked with an intrigued look.

“Oh, what are you doing here? Girl.”

“… It’s still a rough word. And alcohol. It’s still too young for you to eat.”

“If you are going to pretend to be your sister, then get out of here.”

Damon said sternly.

A lineage in which the same blood flows.

The imperial family has come too far for such a thing.

Competition, s*x, intrigue.

Even if you don’t become emperor, there have been many wars to become the head of the second-ranked ‘Kairos’.

“Um… I still think I was kinder to you than to my older brothers.”

Damon raised the corner of his mouth.

“Trying to kill me twice, one year is a lot of talk.”

“Uh… ?”

Irina grinned and held up two of her fingers.

“You only tried to kill me twice, right?”

“Stop talking privately. Tell me Why did you come to me?”

“Your Majesty is moving.”

Irina whispered to Damon with her hands behind her back.

“The plan is to make Amelia Windsor the head of the household.”

Damon’s eyebrows twitched.

“How is it? Isn’t it nice?”

“…… Is it true?”

“There is no reason to lie to you.”

Irina looked amused. Damon said with a cold gaze.

“Say it.”

“Huh?”

“If this sound enters Irene Windsor, it becomes dangerous.”

Irina laughed, covering her mouth.

“Wouldn’t that make a good cause instead? The Duke of Windsor— will never betray the Crown. No matter how great Irene Windsor is, she is no stronger than the Duke of Windsor.”

“This is absurd. You’re going to treat a loyalist who has protected her belly for generations that way? Is it true that His Majesty said it?”

“Well… I’m not sure.”

Irina tilted her head.

“Even for me, the act of beheading the bodyguard under the direct control of the emperor and showing it in front of the nobles…… It seems like treason against the authority of the imperial family.”

Damon put down the wine with a face that said her taste was gone. Rising from her chair, she put her hands in her pockets and looked down at Irina.

“That person must have become senile even though he is still young.”

How can you speak like this even after seeing the emperor?

No matter how bloody he is, he was an amazing Damon the more I saw him.

Irina covered her mouth and giggled.

“Get out of the way. I need to go right now and give this body advice.”

“Ah, I didn’t come to ask that.”

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

Irina opened her eyes. Damon’s ghastly red eyes glistened.

“Damon Kairos.”

Irina held out her hand.

“If you are close to Louis Christopher, His Majesty’s plan will be easy. How is it? Riding a boat.”

Damon responded immediately.

“I refuse.”

Irina smiled and turned behind her.

“I’m sorry.”

Irina whistled.

At that moment, Damon smiled dejectedly.

“You are still a gloomy b*tch.”

People appeared between the buildings.

These are the faces I have seen several times. The commoners she bullied.

One by one they were carrying weapons. Sword, wand. Someone is holding a hoe.

Damon still doesn’t move with his hands in his pockets.

He shouted with a lofty face as he saw the commoners approaching with hostility.

“How dare you raise your head for safety, lowly people! Bow your head right now and pay your respects!”

**

Ruid heard the absurd news.

“Damon… You said you knocked out 30 commoners?”

“Yes. They are all slandered.”

‘How I wish I didn’t like it.’

Judging by the behavior of the commoners here, it’s not that Damon doesn’t understand it at all.

Louise opened her eyes and asked.

“Why?”

“… For the same reasons as usual. I don’t like it. But this time things are different.”

As Ella pulled out her tea, Hersie gave her a slight bow and sipped her tea.

“They say they attacked first.”

“Commoners?”

No matter how Ruid is, this is amazing.

‘What didn’t go well… ?’

“Right? Everyone doesn’t believe in Prince Damon. So does the professor. In a way, it’s self-employed. Because he was always so violent.”

Hersy opened his mouth. After some hesitation, he looked at Louis and said seriously.

“But…… I want to believe Damon’s words. He is a strange man, but he is not one to lie.”

“I think so too.”

Louis de nodded her head in sympathy.

Damon wasn’t the type to hide anything, no matter how ridiculous it was. He would have been more open about it and bragging about it.

“I need help.”

The timing is also good.

Ruid was fully charged. Because she woke up after about 30 hours of sleep.

As proof of that, it was not the usual sleepy eyes, but clear eyes.

“Well, I think it will be a bit difficult.”

“Can’t we just prove that the commoners attacked first?”

Hersy shook his head.

“Even if it is recognized as self-defense, it is a problem.”

“Why?”

“Damon’s penalty is 49 points. No matter what happens to him, he won’t be able to take even one penalty point.”

“Ah.”

The laws of the empire and the rules of the academy are different.

According to the law of the empire, there is no possibility that Damon, a member of the royal family, will be punished.

But this is the academy.

In the rules of the academy, it is difficult to recognize ‘defense’.

For example, if a robber breaks in and beats you up, the robber is punished, but the fan is also punished for assault.

Being fair to everyone included criminals.

‘The first emperor is real.’

In the Middle Ages, he left behind a huge sh*t called human rights.

“… Would it be okay if I gave you the store as much as the penalty points you get?”

“Uh…… Did you know that the rules have changed regarding penalty points this time? The standard table was distributed to all students a week ago. No matter how hard you are, it will be difficult.”

I realized it only after Hersy pointed it out.

‘Do something stupid.’

That Michael touched a lot of things.

I never thought it would work like this.

“…… Any chance of making him innocent?”

Hersy shook her head again.

“Maybe it will be difficult. Due to the nature of the academy, which absolutely follows the will of His Majesty the first emperor, the value of ‘equality’ cannot be disparaged.”

“It’s equal. If 30 people came in, I would have been worse. One or two could have died.”

“I think so too…… You know. Awareness is what matters. If Prince Damon gets no punishment this time, there will be a preferential treatment controversy. Besides, it’s because Prince Damon has a low reputation.”

Hersy did not gossip.

It was that I could set a good example. If Prince Damon was defeated, the slogan ‘The Imperial Academy will punish even the Imperial Family!’

“Would His Majesty approve it?”

“… It’s too early to be sure. Yes. I personally think it is 100%. Because Damon is expelled, what he gains is greater than what he loses. Besides, because of the previous incident… You must be looking for a distance to strengthen the imperial power.”

In a word, it was far more important to increase the reputation of the academy itself than to lower Damon’s reputation, which was already underground.

The academy is the power of the imperial family.

‘… I’m glad I have Hersie. Otherwise, Damon would have been expelled while sleeping.’

Moreover, Hercy, the heir to the House of Minerva, had a good knowledge of politics.

If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t have been able to read the situation properly.

“The conclusion is that it is not easy.”

Hersy nodded his head with a grim face.

“Yes, even if I fail, I will not be able to avoid being expelled.”

Ruid made Damon the villain instead of Hercy.

Damon was good prey. To the common people, Damon was nothing short of a disaster.

Thanks to that, he was able to separate Justin’s group like demolition heads. The aggro is dispersed.

In other words, this was his own intention.

Damon was marked as the scapegoat for the good and the evil. After all, he had guessed that this would happen.

Yes, the main character is Justin. He should start playing his definition because he gets himself comfortable.

But recently I’ve changed my mind.

‘I hate commoners. I like Damon.’

Very, very simple childlike logic.

However, Ruid was no longer a careless character who was caught sleeping.

Ruid stood up.

“If there is no way, I will make it and help you.”

After all, he owes him.

“Let’s go. See Damon.”

Since I had been helped before, it was my turn to help this time.

**

Gilbert was at a loss.

“Dee, Prince Damon. This is embarrassing.”

“You dare ask me to sit in a chair like this! It’s too short to be used as the palace of this body!”

Cudangtang!

Damon kicked the wooden chair.

The chair hit the wall head-on and shattered.

This is the Academy Swordsmanship Department’s investigation room.

It was a space reserved for interrogation of students who had committed serious crimes.

No matter how non-discriminatory the academy is, you can’t interrogate aristocrats in a cold facility.

But Damon didn’t like even that.

“You just need to ask a few questions. Could you bear with me for a moment?”

“This is already the third investigation. I have responded adequately.”

“…… That’s because they speak different words.”

Damon’s face was stained with obvious anger.

“How dare this body lie to such lowly people?”

“No, not that… “

As the commotion ensued, several swordsmen students came with chairs.

It was a chair lavishly decorated with gold and jewels.

Seeing that, Damon’s expression softened a little.

“At last, a chair that suits the dignity of this body has arrived.”

Damon sat haughtily in his chair and crossed his legs.

“Yes, tell me.”

“… ….”

From noble mtl dot com

‘The real chair was the problem.’

Gilbert was dumbfounded.

But now, when Damon’s anger had subsided, was his chance.

Gilbert started his investigation seriously.

“The part where testimonies diverge is who carried out the preemptive strike. Therefore…… “

“Enough.”

Damon cut Gilbert off.

“Looking at the current situation, expulsion from the academy cannot be prevented.”

“… !”

Damon raised one corner of his mouth and said it as if he was sorry.

“Do that. It’s just that it’s getting boring to hang out with this house. He allows me to be expelled. But.”

Damon said sternly.

“Those who dare to put dirt on me will be put to death for contempt of the imperial family.”

Gilbert, who had been investigating crimes for a long time, knew.

This is Prince Damon’s Maginot Line.

Since he made this much concession, he meant that you should also make concessions. He didn’t know that, and Damon’s request was reasonable.

But…… That’s why I couldn’t say.

‘Damn it. I don’t know if it’s sparking for nothing.’

The former 2nd princess, Irina, said that she would protect the commoners who were involved in this accident.

The emperor also issued an imperial decree, ‘Punish Damon and set up the will of His Majesty the first emperor.’

The imperial family has abandoned you, and the game is over.

It was hard to say.

First of all, I’m afraid that Damon’s anger will be directed at me. Second, it was a human pity.

Damon was 15 years old. He was not yet of age. Knowing that no one took their side, the loss would be huge.

Gilbert bit his lip. Damon looked at him with calm eyes.

“Don’t worry.”

“… Yes?”

“I have no ill feelings towards you. It will be the same in the future. So feel free to say What decision was made in the imperial family?”

“… ….”

Gilbert lowered his head.

Damon already knew everything.
