96 – Damon’s Choice (2)

The road leading to the location Damon is investigating. An unexpected person appeared in front of the building.

It was Irina.

She smiled gladly as if she had been waiting for her to come.

“Ah, Prince Louis. Long time no see.”

“Hello.”

Ruid rarely showed respect.

She is my older sister’s friend, and although generations have changed, she is a princess.

“Can I stroke you?”

Irina narrowed her eyes.

Ruid also smiled out of courtesy.

“No.”

“… ….”

Irina stood up from her seat, her eyes half-open.

“Are you here to see Damon?”

“Yes.”

“You guys too?”

“I followed you. Degrading the princess.”

“The princess. It’s an old thing. Now it is Kairos.”

As she watched Irina having a casual conversation, she suddenly thought.

‘It always looks suspicious.’

She has been thinking for a long time.

In this world, there are a few people who don’t know what they are thinking, but Irene was the first and Irina was the second.

However, Irina was easier to understand than Irene. She is completely driven by interest.

She also had a history of helping Justin in the beginning, but then suddenly stabbing her in the back of the head. The line she gave then was probably… ….

-‘Eh, even if I ask why you betrayed me. You know, it’s no fun if everything is one-sided. I am the guardian of the balance!’

It was.

She is someone I don’t personally want to associate with.

Above all, Amelia doesn’t like it very much.

“What about your sister?”

“Our captain? If you’re the leader, you’re probably in the process of searching for talent. But it’s sad Is that all you have to say about me?”

Ruid was seriously worried.

She looked up at Irina with a serious face.

Irina was nervous for some reason, and her cheeks turned red.

“Yes.”

“… ….”

But she was immediately disappointed.

To Ruid, Irina was just that. She’s not a trustworthy person in the first place.

She said, “You said you were here to see Damon, right?”

“Yes.”

“Looks like this, she was a princess… I have a lot of personal connections with the imperial family… Maybe I know something? You know Damon, he’s my younger brother.”

“Ah.”

Louis opened her eyes wide.

She’s like that She’s a princess, so it’s natural, but I forgot about her because she didn’t look the best in the world.

‘Aren’t you two close?’

Such a question came to my mind, but I put it off for now. As she said, the important thing now is Damon.

“Do you know? How the case is.”

“Um.”

Irina pretended that she was troubled for nothing. Her question is something she has induced herself.

‘Should I just pass by?’

Ruid had a feeling that it would be quicker to ask her person.

“Damon… Did Damon?”

“So, is she harassing commoners as usual?”

“Yes. But commoners are people too, so this time I got angry and gave Damon a punch.”

“Then is it true that the commoners attacked?”

“No, no. Actually, I was at the scene. The commoners only talked. He must have thought that even the prince would be intimidated if several people went and argued. Damon misunderstood it… Is it all a dying ending? hehehe, isn’t it fun?”

It felt like the situation was clearly drawn in my head.

“But you know.”

Irina bent down and lied in Ruid’s ear.

Ruid hated it and took 10 steps back. She just felt weird.

“… If you’re surprised like that, you’ll think I’ve become a bad person.”

“What were you trying to say?”

Hersy asked.

“Uh… It’s not funny when you say it like this. Can’t you?”

Irina said with her face that she was sorry.

“I was waiting for you guys. I think it will definitely come. Aren’t they Damon’s only friends?”

“I prefer not to go. Exactly… Should I say it’s better not to get involved?”

“Why?”

It was a pure question.

Irina answered as if she had been waiting.

“His Majesty sent an imperial order after receiving a report on this incident. Send Damon Kairos to the Imperial Family.”

“… !”

‘His Majesty?’

It was unexpected.

Ruid was taken aback.

“Why the hell… ?”

“Because Damon always has accidents. It was to return to the imperial palace and take care of business. My brother hates to admit it, but he is very capable, and he is of great help to the Empire.”

She had to admit that.

Damon is arrogant because he knows he’s smart.

‘Am I just going to take this opportunity to clean up and come back to work? There is a point. Because Damon has no reason to be at the academy.’

But.

Ruid felt uncomfortable.

I don’t know why, but she feels like she’s missing something very important.

‘Let’s ask Damon for now.’

Damon owed the debt, so Damon’s intention was important.

The moment I passed by Irina and was about to enter the building.

“So, can I go back?”

Irina said so.

She didn’t particularly block the way, but Irina and her body were very close.

If you are a normal person, you will get out of the way when people pass by. Especially when she’s a little kid like herself.

But Irina didn’t get out of the way. She just sits still.

She doesn’t know why, but she — she was blocking herself from going to Damon.

‘Is this the cause of the déjà vu?’

If you think about it, it’s strange in the first place. She had no reason for Irina to be here to tell her this.

Nothing will change if she is Hwangmyeong, and she will know it naturally.

If she were a different person, you’d think she would follow the Emperor’s orders faithfully.

Irina is a person whose interests are the most important to her. She is unnatural

One hypothesis was established.

‘I am currently the only person who might prevent Damon’s expulsion.’

That’s the only thing this situation tells me.

‘… Irina wants Damon to be expelled?’

However, Ruid had no choice but to ask this question.

Why the hell?

For what?

Why does Irina want Damon expelled?

She has some interest and enthusiasm in it.

**

Irina didn’t stop until the end. Ruid first put aside his doubts and faced Damon.

I haven’t seen Damon in a long time.

“One girl and one lowly. And you came to Ruid.”

“Why don’t you call me by my first name!”

“I didn’t even call the poor people next to me by name.”

“At least I know you.”

Hersy sighed.

Damon sat in his chair with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

“Now, Ruid, I think I know how you feel.”

“… ?”

“You look sleepy.”

Damon opened his eyes.

“But no matter how long I close my eyes, I can’t fall asleep. It’s very disgusting, dirty feeling. I can feel that my thinking ability is deteriorating because I am not completely sane. This is why you sometimes act strangely.”

‘… I sleep well.’

If Louis asked her to fall asleep right away, she was confident that she would fall asleep within 30 seconds.

As always, Damon read Ruid’s thoughts and smiled.

“No one sleeps 20 hours a day. You probably spend most of your time just closing your eyes. To get a few hours of sleep.”

No.

It was a high-quality sleep that could not yield even one minute out of 20 hours.

Anyway, the joke ends here.

“Damon.”

“Tell me.”

“You want to be expelled?”

“There is no member of the royal family who likes that kind of tone.”

“Can I help you?”

“Arthur, didn’t you know? Behind him is the Emperor.”

“It doesn’t matter. Your doctor is important to me.”

When Louis said it casually, Damon opened her eyes wide.

Then he covered his eyes with his hands and laughed loudly.

‘… Why are you laughing?’

Ruid looked at Hersi with her embarrassed face and said with the shape of her mouth, ‘What did you put on my face?’. Hersy shook her head.

Damon’s laughter stopped after he had been laughing for a long time. He said in a voice that still had a hint of laughter.

“I think the emperor treats you like a younger brother, but all of that is useless.”

“So I can help. Hear me when I speak.”

Damon chuckled.

“You don’t know the Emperor. He may look like a good older brother in front of you, but he is the ruler of this large land mass. Even if you have a good cause with Cheolcheonji’s enemies, you can become friends, and even you, who are like a younger brother, can become enemies like flipping the palm of your hand. Well, as long as you don’t commit treason, the emperor’s stance won’t change. Are you willing to take a risk?”

‘…… Is this all right?’

To be honest, Ruid didn’t think it was too serious.

I thought it would be easy to convince him if I provided him with what he gained from Damon’s expulsion.

Anyway, Ruid’s position did not change.

“Tell me what you think.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter to me.”

Damon said, staring at Ruid.

“What I can do here, I can do outside. That’s the value of the academy to me. But, I don’t like it.”

Damon smirked.

“Going out unwillingly, not voluntarily.”

“Then decide.”

Ruid turned his back.

“I’ll stop you from expulsion. No matter what.”

“Louid.”

As I was about to open the door and leave, I heard Damon’s low voice. He turned his head. Damon said, looking more serious than ever.

“Thank you.”

“… ….”

‘Ugh, it’s embarrassing.’

It wasn’t something I wanted to hear from a man often.

Damon looked at Ruid’s disliked expression and said with a grin.

“It’s too early to talk about recompense, but if things go well, I’ll give you a present. Probably quite valuable information.”

‘What is information? I’m curious.’

Ruid thought deeply as he walked.

Damon’s last words sounded quite meaningful.

‘… You’ll find out soon.’

Louise was on her way to the imperial house with her breezy gait. She

She went for the first time in a while and she was thrilled at the thought of eating something delicious.

“Louid. What are you going to do?”

“To go to His Majesty.”

“…… You are thinking of defeating the Emperor.”

Ruid talks as if he is going out for an audience with the emperor of the empire.

At times like this, Hercy realized that she was the youngest member of the Duke of Windsor, whom Louis couldn’t stand against.

‘Should I leave these guys behind?’

Ruid stopped at the main gate of the academy.

“I’ll get back to you soon. See you all later.”

“Yes.”

Hersh immediately understood that it was far beyond his authority.

“I…… “

But she seemed to have something to say.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“That’s it.”

Ella hesitated tremendously.

She wasn’t sure if she could say this.

But she felt that if she didn’t say anything, there would be a big problem.

“Well, what can I do in the meantime… !”

Ella covered her mouth.

The voice came out louder than expected.

‘Amidst this, should I say that I’m great or that I don’t care?’

Ruid was speechless.

“I’m sorry.”

“… I am researching.”

“Research?”

Ella looked at her like a puppy.

“Yes.”

‘Because I’m a genius, I should say that it takes as long as possible.’

If you give me something halfway there, I’ll clear it in less than an hour.

Ruid pondered for a moment before saying.

“Research on Immortality?”

“… !”

Hersy was bewildered.

‘It’s not too grand… ?’

Actually, I thought that Ruid made a mistake too.

‘No matter how hard it is, it’s too much for a kid who tries hard…….’

But.

“Yes! I will finish it by the time you return!”

After shouting that, Ella blushed and went away. Her backside looked very excited.
