The Golden Sun of the Academy

Chapter 96

For Isabel (1)

I couldn’t see the expressions of King Leopold and Lee Yoo-ra looking down at me from the podium.

But I was already satisfied enough.

It was the first time I had acted with my anger entrusted to me when I came this far, but the snow stamp I was aiming for was definitely taken.

Might not be too bad?

The guys who were whispering behind my back couldn’t say a word and were embarrassed when they met their eyes.

The emotion in the eyes of the guys standing in front of me was ‘fear’.

‘Can that really be a kind of human?’

‘It’s not a human, it’s a beast. okay! Unless you’re a prisoner, you can’t have such vicious eyes!’

‘It doesn’t make sense that such a beast and I are the same noble!’

Their shaky pupils who met me told me, and Ivan’s memories, who had been through countless situations like this, interpreted it.

… … It wasn’t just Ivan’s memory.

Because I’ve already had enough of similar experiences.

When he was living well as Taeyang Kim in real life and suddenly became possessed by Taeyang Geum. While living in the academy without any connections, I received such gazes without even trying.

Humans rely heavily on vision.

First impressions and looks are so important.

I personally experienced what I knew only in theory while possessing ‘Golden Sun’. That experience made me – Taeyang Kim – infinitely immersed in the role of ‘Ivan’.

so that.

I can understand.

Ivan’s anger burning hot in his heart.

I agree because I can understand.

Empathy allowed Ivan’s remnants to enter my head unfiltered.

Ivan’s remnants quietly whispered in my ear… … .

‘It is not yet time. It’s not ripe yet.’

My chest still boils hot, but on the contrary, my head started to cool.

Yeah, because I haven’t caught one properly yet.

They look like subhumans, but the society they live in is a human society.

If you just bite someone here just because you’re angry, that behavior will be no different from that of a beast.

The most important thing in politics is to make allies.

I have to make allies with a common goal to give legitimacy to my actions… … .

Justification becomes justification.

“Come up here. Sir Hrybach. It’s a bit late, but you responded well to the invitation.”

I got up from under the platform, climbed the steps, and knelt again in the compartment right below the king.

Coincidentally, a good ally is right in front of you.

I can’t guess who the person who used his hand in the dorm while he fell asleep for a while.

The main thing I played was the role of Fernando, not Ivan.

However, it is possible to make the guy with the hand jump out.

“If Your Highness calls, I will always respond.”

“Thank you for the words. Raise your head.”

The king answered with a chuckle, as if he liked the work comment.

Following his words, I raised my head and saw the old king with wrinkles on his face and Lee Yu-ra, who was looking at me with sparkling eyes next to him.

If it was enough to lay a hand on Ivan, a high-ranking aristocrat, it was clear that he was a human supremacist who had reached the limit or hated demi-humans.

Then you should think about it here.

who? Someone who hates Ain.

why? It’s because I hate it when Ain participates in a high-ranking aristocrat’s party.

For what purpose? To prevent Ivan from participating in the party.

The most important thing in politics is to make allies.

In order to make allies, it is not right to bring up stories about the race in a place where humans are the mainstream.

Even if I divide by race, I will only be isolated.

How do I split sides so that I don’t lose my side and identify that guy?

After thinking about it for a while, the answer came right away.

It took some work to put the plan in my head into action.

There’s no need to hesitate.

The king, who laughed at me right in front of me, opened his mouth to hit the ball before changing the topic of conversation.

Rather than being dragged here and there, when I attract attention, I grab and move in the direction I want.

“Your Highness, would you allow a subject from the border to make a remonstrance?”

“I will. There is no monarch who ignores the admonitions of loyal subjects from afar.”

When the king’s permission was granted, he rose from his seat.

I turned my head for a moment and looked back, and I saw human males who clearly felt the difference between the races.

Perhaps because the eye level had suddenly risen, it felt like they were sticking to the ground, so the corners of their mouths went up.

“Your Highness, unfortunately, there is no reason why I was late to your call.”

“like… … ? I was curious about that anyway. I received a report that it was coming, but I didn’t expect it to be this late.”

“I didn’t want to be late either. but… … .”

I took a moment to catch my breath.

“… … Against my will, I had to stay asleep throughout the party.”

“I should have been asleep… … ?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you saying you’re only late because of sleep, Count?”

“Who wants to be late for a party hosted by Her Highness and featuring such a beautiful princess?”

“… … .”

The king was silent and the princess’ eyes widened.

The king, who was silent for a moment, frowned.

Wrinkles form between his eyebrows, and his eyes become sharp at once.

“… … It sounds like someone forced you to come.”

‘It’s just a ploy to make an excuse for being late.’

‘That’s right. I thought it was a lion, but the tongue that spreads the rice is as cunning as a snake.’

‘At this point, I wish I could shave off that mane. It was uncomfortable because the hair was blown off.’

‘Anyway, the beast itself. To be late for such an important event, at least because of sleep.’

I could hear the nobles laughing at my words behind my back because I had the excellent hearing of Ain and the ability of the Awakener, Geumtaeyang.

yes, laugh out loud All of you will feel the chill on your neck at the next word.

“It’s embarrassing to tell you, so I’m embarrassed to say it… … .”

“It’s okay, so tell me. Whatever you say, I will forgive you.”

“That is… … .”

“Uh huh, who is this person? Didn’t you say it didn’t matter?”

After a short pause, the king urged.

I lowered my head as if in great sorrow and smeared my mouth with saliva so that the king could not see. And then… … .

“Someone poisoned my meal.”

It took an instant for the old king’s expression to harden.

It wasn’t just the king’s face that hardened.

The quiet conversation of the nobles behind his back disappeared in an instant.

It was also quiet for a while.

‘… … .’

‘What did that Ain say? I think my ears are wrong now?’

‘Someone said he took the drug secretly.’

‘I was on drugs… … ?’

‘That’s nonsense?! Do you know where this is?!’

‘… … If you think it could have been German, that’s terrible.’

When someone brought up the story of someone taking drugs without their knowledge, the nobles behind them began whispering almost to the point of convulsions.

Regardless of the East and the West, the aristocrats always trembled against poisoning.

The same goes for this side of the parasitic world.

Even more so, drugs were given to high-ranking nobles in lodgings provided by the royal family.

I will agree that it can’t be your own job.

The king and I were tied into the big frame of nobility.

In addition, the spectators behind them were aristocrats, so being tied together was a bonus.

The red-faced king squeezed his eyes and tried to catch his breath.

However, even if he refined his breath and expression. His beard, still shaking, showed me the extent of his wrath.

I straightened my back and shoulders again and used my size to hide the king’s face as much as possible so that the audience behind me couldn’t see it.

“Is there anyone you’re expecting? count?”

At the king’s words, I put strength on my face.

Then I felt my eyes heat up and feel moist. At the same time, the strength was removed from the neck.

hmm… … , this should be adequate.

“doesn’t exist… … It doesn’t seem poisoned. If you tried to kill me, you would have taken poison, not sleeping pills.”

“… … Are there any lies in your words?”

“Do I dare to tell lies in front of Your Highness?”

How would I feel if someone who hated Ain saw me now?

I was so annoyed that I participated in it, but I even had a long stand alone with the king in the center of the stage, bringing all the eyes of the people around me.

Will I be able to stand it?

“Count Hrabach! Don’t you think your words are going too far? Make excuses in moderation!”

Anger made of hatred, when it reaches its extreme, eats away at the human brain.

So even the atmosphere is not easily grasped.

As long as the culprit came out on his own, there was no need to keep his head cold.

The Ivan I possessed is a beast.

The strong beast’s heart began to pump hot blood furiously to its head.

I slowly turned my body in the direction the sound came from.

When the king couldn’t see my face, he immediately hardened his expression.

The nobleman who came into sight was someone Ivan knew.

The leader of the royal knights of the Adria kingdom, and as the dungeon raid progresses, he expresses extreme disgust towards Ivan, a person who moves like Fernando’s limbs.

Count Alfonso.

He’s the kind of person who hates Ain so much. There must have been an excuse that the original Ivan was a traitor.

It seemed to me now that he knew why he was so eager to help a foreign prince in the subjugation of Ivan.

It would be good to cut off a person who will become Fernando’s arm in the future on this spot.

If he was the original Ivan, he would never have imagined attacking Count Alfonso now.

A world where magical blessings are weak.

The reason why Ain’s combat power was highly evaluated on the battlefield was simple.

Not to mention the basic physical specs, but even the leader of the royal knights, one of the strongest in the world, was only an expert-expert-class.

It’s not for nothing that one demi-knight is better than three decent human knights.

Actually, Ivan doesn’t know how to handle magic.

But the moment I entered Ivan’s body.

The counterweight has become parallel.

“Count Alfonso… … .”

I lowered my voice.

“… … Did Kyung tell Your Highness that I was telling lies just to make an excuse for being late?”

Even when I heard it, a voice that was incomparable to the grave fell down the hall.

A low-pitched voice began to engulf the entire hall.

The king, who was sitting on the chair on the podium, looked at the situation with an expression of ‘Look at this?’

“If not, what the hell is that! You apologize to Your Highness, ask for forgiveness, and remove that ugly face from this party!”

I could feel the hot blood running through my head.

In the meantime, there was a feeling of obligatory handling of things that I already knew.

Not now.

He did not reject Ivan’s anger, which started in his chest and fiercely ate away at his head.

It doesn’t kill my anger that I’ve lived as a golden sun who sympathizes with him.

‘Thumping.’ The violently beating heart made me feel again that I was alive.

Originally, I was a person who took a class when it came to fighting.

Not anymore.

“Can you be responsible for your words?”

Where was the funny thing about my words? He wriggled his thick eyebrows and smiled, as if he was dumbfounded.

“What can you not be responsible for?”

Slowly descending the platform, his golden mane bristled.

“You dismissed my proud face as repulsive and ugly. I know best what Kyung saw and said.”

“This is a mockery of my people.”

Arriving under the podium, I pulled the cloak off my shoulders. The red cloak plummeted to the floor.

“I said that my words to Your Highness were lies just to make an excuse for being late. Asking for forgiveness means that I have already concluded that I am a sinner.”

“This amounts to doubting my loyalty to Your Highness.”

The other nobles opened the way for Count Alfonso without even thinking about stepping out.

I walked through the crowd without hesitation.

“Finally, I threatened to get out of this ballroom. You, too, are well aware of the purpose of this banquet.”

“You made fun of my feelings for Princess Isabel.”

I stood in front of Count Alfonso, who confidently laughed at me.

The small one-headed man still looked at me and did not erase the smile on his face.

“You insulted my honor with the above three words.”

“So what can a single demi-human do?”

I slowly took off the gauntlet on my right hand.

And then.

– Puff!!!!

Count Alfonso’s left cheek, his head turned, immediately began to bruise red as if a vein had burst.

Could it be that he never even imagined that he would be asked to duel?

He didn’t know what was going on with him, and his face was blank.

“Count Alfonso. Challenge the Lord to a duel. I will restore the insulted honor and give the victory to Princess Isabel!”

He shook his head for a moment, and soon began to dye not only his cheeks but his entire face red.

“First sword, raise your sword.”
