I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

First meeting at the entrance celebration banquet

There, among the people.

Louis Wallenstein is visible.

I first met him at a banquet celebrating the entrance to Helon Academy.

Because it was Helon Academy, which is said to be the best academy in the empire.

The nobles in the empire, of course, sent their children to the academy.

The wealthy commoners also tried to send their children to Helon Academy somehow.

Those who were known as gifted people from all over the empire also tried to somehow pass the academy through exams.

In a word, the Academy is all the wealth and power of the Empire.

Or, it was a gathering place for talented people who will lead the future.

There were a lot of cadets who were trying to build connections in advance by their parents’ orders or their own choices.

It was not unusual for the nobles to hold such a banquet in advance.

Even before entering the academy, it is a place where cadets from aristocratic backgrounds get to know each other in advance.

The banquet was one of those places.

Lucy comes to a banquet following her older sister who is entering the academy.

Her older sister was known for being a genius.

Felice is superior to herself in skill, recognition, and even her appearance.

Pushed by her like that, Lucy was always treated as cold rice.

Even at a party like this.

At an event like this where the whole family attended, Lucy was always behind the scenes.

Everyone was interested in Felice, not Lucy.

Lucy was also not inferior to the other young girls in terms of appearance.

Maybe it was because my sister was so famous.

Even the men who didn’t get a chance to talk because Felice was so popular.

When she talked to herself with eyes as if she was looking at a substitute, Lucy was so miserable.

At the banquet that day, it was even worse.

It was a banquet for those entering the academy in the first place.

Besides Felice, there were a lot of famous noble children.

At the banquet, Lucy saw Louis Wallenstein for the first time.

He was the one who never showed up at banquets, so Lucy observed him with curious eyes.

He had the worst reputation due to the rumor that he was an idiot and the value of his name, Wallenstein.

But contrary to rumors, he was very docile.

And even more important than that.

‘Good looks… ‘

When Lucy saw him for the first time, she muttered involuntarily.

In fact, some of the young girls were sneaking around at him.

If he hadn’t been for Wallenstein, everyone would have tried to get to know him.

Among noble girls, Leo Epsilt of the Duke of Epsilt was famous for his handsomeness.

To Lucy, Louis Wallenstein over there is much prettier and more handsome.

He, too, seemed lonely like himself.

Not many people would want to be friends with Wallenstein.

Seeing him in the corner of the banquet hall, Lucy felt a sense of unity.

‘I want to tell you a story… ‘

She saw her sister.

She responds to the people who constantly cling to her with a blunt face as if it were annoying.

Seeing that, it was Lucy who had an ogre.

While taking the attention that he did not receive from his family and from others.

What’s with that annoying face?

No one pays attention to himself.

All who spoke to him were those who went to Felice first, and then came to him behind the crowd.

Surely, as if he was a bonus.

I didn’t like it all.

She slid out of her seat and turned to Louis.

Finally approaching him, said Louis, who was slightly surprised.

“uh… Lady Lucy Ansberg?”

Lucy was also a little surprised.

“Do you know me? I think I saw you for the first time… ”

“ah. I’ve never been to a place like this, so it’s probably the first time I’ve seen it.”

He says scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.

It was an attitude that was by no means aristocratic.

I liked it much more than the guys who approached me reluctantly and were horribly polite.

And, contrary to the rumors that he was an idiot, he seemed to have a very good personality.

“Why are you alone?”

“Well, people seem to be more reluctant about Wallenstein than I thought. Is Lady Lucy okay?”

“Yeah, it’s like they’re both lonely.”

she says a little dejectedly.

“Well… ? Why?”

“Yeah, because people are more interested in unnie than me… ”

Lucy nodded in Felice’s direction and said.

I wanted to know what the hell he was talking about in front of someone he was seeing for the first time.

Lucy was a little agitated right now, so the words came out all over the place.

Well, it was her first time talking alone with such a handsome man.

With such a handsome, good-natured, and likable man…

“Oh, is that so?”

Louis Wallenstein says he doesn’t know.

“You’re not saying you don’t know my sister, are you?”

“It’s not like that. Lady Lucy is also beautiful enough, but I wonder why she’s only interested in you.”

Lucy’s face turned red.

It was the first time a man had said such a thing.

Some guys even said words of praise to Felice in front of them.

What the hell, did you think you would like it?

Anyway, Lucy was taken aback by Louis’ words that suddenly jumped in.

It’s not that I’m in a bad mood, on the contrary, I like it so much.

“Ah, is that so… ”

‘Oh, embarrassing. Why are you stuttering!’

The banquet of the day is over.

Lucy couldn’t sleep because of her pounding heart.

Could it be that this is what the other young ladies were saying about falling in love at first sight?

‘no! No matter what, he’s the first person I met today!’

Lucy was in denial.

From that day on, Louis and Lucy exchanged letters.

Count Ansberg told me not to hang out with Wallenstein.

Rather, breaking the words of her father, who didn’t even pay attention to her, came to Lucy as a kind of pleasure.

Because the two of them were so close.

Louis’ warning this time, too, Lucy believed right away.

By the way, it was something Louis had asked himself directly.

His mother is trying to pass on the merits of Louis Wallenstein to Felice.

Felice, who always took all the attention from her.

It wasn’t Felice’s fault, so it was Lucy who couldn’t say anything.

But now she is trying to take away the credit of Louis Wallenstein.

Even, this time, Felice was right.

I couldn’t stand this.

Lucy, who finally reached Louis’s side, struggled for a while.

Surely, I grabbed Louis’ hand.

“Hey… ! Lou, Lucy little girl?”

“Prince Louis, could you please follow me for a moment?”

Saying so, Lucy thought.

‘It’s cute to be surprised… No, not this.’

To an empty place, she dragged Louis around and started moving.

Some people seem to be looking at him and Louie, but it doesn’t matter.

—

I am very perplexed now.

Lucy suddenly came up to me and grabbed my hand!

This is a great stimulus for me as a mother-in-law…

Anyway, she dragged me and started moving somewhere.

‘No, Lucy? Now is the time to be buried in your father’s soil… ?’

However, because she moves so fast.

In the end, I was dragged away with no room to stop her.

Somewhere in the lord’s castle, where she finally brought me.

where there is no one there.

Lucy bowed her head to me.

“Prince Louis, I’m really sorry.”

Again, confused.

“Uh, little Lucy? Why all of a sudden… ”

She answers my question.

“Did Confucius also hear? What people are saying.”

“What exactly?”

“My sister… Felice Ansberg was able to reduce the damage thanks to the warning in advance… ”

Lucy blushes as if embarrassed.

Her voice creeps in.

Seriously, from a standpoint of knowing the truth, even like me, I would be embarrassed.

Anyway, my face hardened when I heard that.

Perhaps reading my expression, Lucy lowered her head again.

“really sorry! I told all the truth… ”

At her words, I put on a puzzled expression.

“I told the truth, but why… ”

“Yes. By the way, my sister and mother… ”

Soon, Lucy started explaining to me what had happened.

Slowly, her story is over.

My expression was distorted.

“ha… So.”

At my sigh, Lucy trembled.

“Felice lied that she had warned in advance, and the Countess… I just decided to do it for Felice… ”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, there’s nothing to be sorry about, Lucy Young-ae. I wouldn’t have been able to say anything about my mother’s decision… ”

Even as I said that, my voice got lower and lower.

I mumbled as if it was ridiculous.

“under! If it’s a Wallenstein, you can use this as an excuse to rip it off… f*ck it, really.”

Without realizing it, I muttered a swear word.

Lucy’s expression continued to darken.

“Well, thanks for telling me anyway.”

Yes, there is nothing wrong with what the Countess said.

With money to compensate our family, to heal the wounded and to help Young Ji-min?

Well, that’s right.

But, I never asked for such a reward in the first place.

Just like Lucy Young-ae did for me, just being thankful was enough.

But the Countess said that I didn’t know how far I’d go, so she gave my ball to Felice.

I looked at Lucy in front of me.

There was nothing she did wrong, but I asked her with a little anger.

“Lucy Young-ae, what should I do?”

It wasn’t a test, I was just curious what she thought.

Lucy hesitates for a moment, then tells me with a determined expression on her face.

“It may be difficult right now, but I will compensate you somehow later. And, if Confucius wishes… ”

But she wants to say something more.

Those words were interrupted by a voice from behind.

“It’s not like that, Lucy Ansberg. If you had known the truth, you should have told the people right away.”

When we looked around in awe, the princess was there.

“You too look like Felice or your mother.”
