Siegfried (1)

Many of the universities on the continent started with students.

The students raised money and hired a professor.

Usually, the students who paid the money also had the overall authority to run the university.

Needless to say, the power of the student council, the representative of the students, went without saying.

In fact, there were many cases where university towns were formed around universities, and they were even given autonomy and had their own jurisdiction.

It could be seen that most universities are driven by students.

However, since Schultz Academy was an imperial building, the power of students and professors was somewhat balanced.

Beyond that, the will of the imperial family was the most important.

Usually, the various groups within the university formed an equal group, sometimes checking each other, and sometimes cooperating.

This student council was different.

Siegfried Ansbach Franz, 2nd Prince of the Franz Empire.

Since he became the student council president, the power of the student council has peaked at this point.

It was to the point that no one except for Amelia dean could stop what the student council wanted to do. Even that wasn’t easy.

The interior of the student council president’s office, which is more luxurious than the academy’s office.

Prince Siegfried was repeating someone’s name while looking at the documents with his hand on his forehead.

“Karl von Bernstein…”

Seeing Prince Siegfried frowning, a girl with a dignified atmosphere approached.

“Your Highness, what are you doing?”

The secretary of the student council president, Lily, asked cautiously.

“I don’t understand.”

“Isn’t this… Prince Carol? I know it’s from Her Highness Princess Riena’s side.”

Lily glanced at the papers from the corner of her eye. Perhaps, following the entrance exam, Prince Siegfried’s interest seemed to be directed to Carol because he was also ranked first in practical skills this time.

“okay. Riena called me Sabu and followed me. Armed Forces, Ability to Perform Missions, Family. Everything is at its peak on paper. I don’t know his true limits.”

It was a level that made no sense, just looking at the figures on paper sent by Prince Siegfried’s own intelligence group.

Prince Siegfried was convinced that that would not be all. There was also information obtained from the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service.

“Is His Highness so concerned? Anyway, most of the aristocratic children in the second year of the academy and above follow His Highness. The rest will be able to conciliate soon. It’s about one…”

“One of them may be greater than all the others combined.”

“…”

Lily, who was about to say something, understood as she thought of Prince Siegfried and His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire in front of her.

“decided.”

Prince Siegfried, who had been tapping his forehead with his finger for a while, opened his mouth.

“I will invite Karl von Bernstein.”

Even without saying anything, Lily naturally spoke first, and Prince Siegfried nodded slowly.

1 Grade

Comprehensive Senior Engineer Faculty Riena Gracia Franz.

Comprehensive Vice-President of the Faculty of Magic Selina de Flanderen.

Practical Senior Engineer Faculty Karl von Bernstein.

Theory Senior Research Faculty Cecilia.

The evaluation was over before I knew it, and the grades were announced, and notices were posted all over the school.

Actually, it was natural that I was the chief practical skill, but in the case of Princess Riena, I didn’t expect to be the chief.

It seems that the power he showed while defeating the hero was quite impressive in the eyes of the judges.

Because the theory was originally good.

In fact, considering my skills, I was right.

After all, it was to the extent that I was able to handle Kang Ki-gong at that age.

“mmm.”

Next to me, as if asking for compliments, Princess Riena was twirling the tips of her hair while glancing at me.

“Congratulations to the chief, Her Highness the Princess. You are great.”

He patted him on the back and praised him.

“huh. you worked hard thank you.”

He crossed his arms and pretended to speak calmly.

From noble mtl dot com

Judging from the fact that he was smiling and smiling all over his face, he was in pretty good shape.

“Master, but…”

Princess Riena moved her gaze as if she had suddenly remembered something.

“Do you have any questions?”

“That ring, do I have to keep wearing it? Something a little… ominous.”

Certainly, Princess Riena must have a good sense of it, and even though Magi was suppressed by the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art, it seemed that she had understood the characteristics of the ring to some extent. On the outside, it’s like a ring with an unusual jewel.

“Yes, at the level of solid bonding with my fingers. It seemed like the only way to get it out was to break it.”

“Besides, the ring finger of the left hand…”

Princess Riena put on a sad expression as if she was missing something.

Curiously, even in this world, the wedding ring was worn on the ring finger of the left hand.

In magic, the ring finger of the left hand symbolizes the heart.

That meaning has been expanded, and a ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand, symbolizing the heart, which is considered the source of love in the civilian world.

Anyway, Selina saw this ring and explained it excitedly.

“There is no one to misunderstand anyway. Wouldn’t it matter?”

“It is, but it is. No, I can’t help it if I need a master. I won’t care anymore.”

Princess Riena, who nodded once, returned with a wavering expression.

“Yes, it is a fairly usable piece of equipment. And Her Highness, the princess, a tail boy.”

Something translucent was vigorously flapping behind Princess Riena.

“Yes?!”

These days, when I’m bored, I just pull up Yogi, so it seems like I’m making this kind of mistake from time to time.

Especially when I feel good just looking at it, that tendency seems to get worse.

I’m doing this to train myself and develop my control skills…

Ilya, but it was true that every time I made a mistake in front of everyone else, I felt dizzy.

That’s why the disciple said it was the method he chose to practice without rest, but he couldn’t stop it.

It was a bit of a strange feeling.

“Be careful. There are many eyes to see.”

“Uh… yes, I’ll keep that in mind. Master.”

Embarrassed, Princess Riena lowered her head with a flushed face.

“By the way, Master…?”

Princess Riena, who had been looking down for a while and tapping the floor with her foot, suddenly looked up at me.

“Do you have any other questions?”

“It’s vacation soon.”

“Yes that’s right.”

Like other universities, this academy also had a fairly long summer break.

And the fact that the overall grades came out meant that vacation was coming soon.

“What does the master do during vacation?”

“Hmm… I see.”

Actually, I had some concerns about this.

“Your Highness, do you have something else to do?”

“No, there is not. I just want to follow where the master goes.”

“…”

Originally, each enforcer was supposed to move around the jurisdiction.

Maybe that would be more efficient.

But not too long ago, a letter arrived to me.

Carefully sent by a man at a bar in Baron Artois who supports me.

「Dear Executor Carol. It’s not under Carol’s jurisdiction, but the current situation in the north is not serious. The north is the area that Bernstein is in charge of. Since it’s related to Carol’s family, I think you should know about it, so I’m carefully sending the related information.”

The letter from the bar guy was roughly like this.

I came to the academy without having time to attach affection to Bernstein, so I didn’t realize that it was my family.

That’s why I had a problem with Princess Riena, and I wondered if I should leave the academy and go, but…

In the meantime, it is true that I have lived comfortably while benefiting from tangible and intangible assets, including the value of the family name and money.

“I’m going to visit the family for a bit.”

In the end, I decided to stop by once during the vacation.

“As for the family… Bernstein?”

“Yes, because the situation in the north is unusual. I’m going to go check it out.”

“Oh…then I want to go too.”

Upon hearing my words, Princess Riena’s eyes sparkled.

“I was going to talk about it anyway. It feels safe to be by my side.”

“Yeah, it’s good to be by the master’s side.”

Princess Riena smiled a little as if she was a bit embarrassed.

“Then, I’ll let you know when the schedule is set.”

“It is expected….”

“It can be dangerous.”

“If the master’s side is dangerous, there will be no safe place in the world.”

Princess Riena firmly shook her head.

In the middle of walking slowly in the school building with Princess Riena, feeling somewhat drowsy in the mild wind of early summer.

From far away, I could see a woman wearing glasses walking towards us.

The woman approached me with a stance that was not disturbed in the slightest, politely ignored and opened her mouth.

“My name is Lily, the secretary of the student council president. Prince Charles was invited by His Highness Siegfried Ansbach Franz, the second prince of the Franz Empire and student president of Shults Academy.”

At the mention of Siegfried, Princess Riena trembled slightly as if she was uneasy, and lightly grabbed my collar with her small hand.

“When can I go?”

“Right now is fine. Or, the sooner the better.”

“Is it okay to be with Her Highness the Princess?”

“Yes, instead, he wants the conversation to be held quietly with Carol alone.”

“I do not care. Let’s go now.”

Princess Riena took a light deep breath and spoke first.

“Then I will go now.”

“thank you. Then please follow me.”

Lily, who bowed again and quickly turned around, took the lead and began walking with a dignified step.

I don’t know what the intention is, but you’ll know when you meet it.

Since the other day, whenever Siegfried was mentioned, I was concerned about Princess Riena’s reaction.

* * *

Prince Siegfried was unable to inherit the Dragon’s Eye.

Instead, Yongyin.

In other words, it has the voice of a dragon.

Rumors like that spread throughout the empire.

A huge reception room that could be found in a mansion of a great aristocratic family.

It wasn’t just a large area, but as if it reflected the taste of Prince Siegfried, the current owner of this building.

Each ornament was so expensive that the average commoner in the empire couldn’t even afford it all year long.

Following Lily’s guidance, Carol entered the audience room, bowed lightly, and sat down next to Prince Siegfried.

“Nice to meet you. Can I not introduce myself?”

“yes. It doesn’t matter.”

Like the emperor he had seen before, Prince Siegfried slowly scanned Carol up and down as if trying to understand Carol.

There was no way Prince Siegfried could grasp Carol, whom even the emperor with the dragon’s eye could not grasp.

“I don’t know either.”

“…”

Thinking that the emperor was his son, Carol waited for her next words.

“Say it straight-forward. I will become emperor.”

Carol stared at Prince Siegfried with an expression asking what to do.

“No response at all.”

“I’m not interested in fighting with the imperial family.”

“Well, Bernstein was always like that. That made me feel more secure.”

Prince Siegfried picked up the teacup with his fingers and took a sip in a dignified manner.

“I would like you to tell me the exact business.”

Talking stuffily in an aristocratic style didn’t suit Carol’s temper.

“hmm. I know you’re on the side of Princess Riena. But do you know That Princess Riena couldn’t become emperor in the first place.”

“What does that matter?”

“Think carefully. Did Princess Riena ever talk about her mother? I can’t tell you the details because it’s a royal family secret.”

As Prince Siegfried continued to speak about Princess Riena, Carol’s eyebrows twitched as tendons grew on her forehead.

“Your Highness seems to have misunderstood my words, so I’ll say it again. What does that matter?”

“Why doesn’t it matter? I can’t be emperor.”

Each other’s words run parallel to each other.

That’s how Carol felt.

“Why did you call me?”

So, I asked again.

“Now, His Majesty the Emperor will live a long time. You’ll be fine for decades to come. So I prepared for the future in advance. This academy is where the children of high-ranking nobles who will inherit the core territory of the empire enter.”

Prince Siegfried, who had been talking from time to time, quickly took a sip of the tea as he was thirsty.

“Most of the sophomores and up have already decided to support me. Even if it becomes the future, it won’t change anytime soon. It was such a contract. The existing supporters of those who are aiming for the emperor now are almost equal, so their strength will be of great help in leading me to the position of emperor in the future.”

This guy talks too much.

Carol gradually felt stuffy.

“If you and Bernstein support me, I promise that when I become emperor, I will spare you and Bernstein the equivalent of a second person in the Empire.”

Prince Siegfried looked into Carol’s eyes and began to speak in a determined voice.

“So why don’t you abandon Princess Riena, a sinking ship that can’t become an emperor in the first place, and follow me? If there’s anything you want, you can tell me privately.”

Carol, who had been feeling the limits of her patience with the needlessly wordy words from earlier.

The moment I heard Prince Siegfried’s last words, I felt something snap in my head.
