I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

thud.

The door to the command center was wide open.

“…Is something going on with the Dragoon Regiment?”

Seeing the messenger of the Royal Guard Dragoon Regiment rushing in, Marshal Heinrich muttered in a worried voice.

“insect! I’ll report back! All command posts, including the enemy leader, were slain, and the retreating enemy troops were pursued and inflicted near-annihilation damage. There are no friendly deaths!”

Kneeling, the messenger spoke quickly.

bang!

Marquis Heinrich kicked off his desk and stood up.

“Are you kidding me right now! victory? Besides, there are no deaths of allies, so make sense!”

“This is the truth without even a hint of a lie! Prince Carol single-handedly stopped the enemy’s large army before we even arrived, and annihilated the enemy’s leadership. We, the Lombardy Regiment, arrived late and chased down the retreating enemy and only finished it off!”

“This is… what is this…”

Touching his forehead, Marshal Heinrich sat down in his chair. I knew that Carol was strong. But even that had its limits.

It was not a surprise attack aiming for an opening, but after blocking the enemy from the front, the enemy’s leadership was annihilated. It was absolutely unbelievable news.

However, starting with the messenger of the Dragoon Regiment, news of victory gradually began to be heard. The enemy army, which had lost its leadership, began to rapidly retreat, splitting into quarters in all areas.

News came from the intelligence organization that had completed the situation assessment and the units deployed in each region.

“Where is Carol coming from?”

“Currently, the main body of the Dragoon Regiment is slowly coming here. The horses are very tired, so it will take some time to arrive.”

“I see, it was hard.”

“no. We plan to make it an honor for the family to have witnessed even a small part of Prince Carol’s inaction. You really have a wonderful son.”

“Thank you.”

The messenger shook his head in genuine admiration. After all, Carol was like a lifesaver.

The soldiers of the Dragoon Regiment rushed after hearing that the Vex fortress had been breached, and they were all prepared to be imprisoned.

In fact, it would have happened if Carol hadn’t been there.

“I need to prepare for the improvement ceremony. Right Now.”

How great was the result Carol created.

Marshal Heinrich, who was in charge of the defense of the northern part of the Empire, knew better than anyone else.

Moreover, the fact that my son had accomplished it, and not someone else, made even the cold-hearted Marshal Heinrich feel exhilarated.

In order to complete the preparations as much as possible before his son arrives in Brandenburg, the capital of Bernstein, Marshal Heinrich hastily started giving instructions.

bang!

“Yulia! I heard… what are you doing?”

Princess Riena violently opened Yulia’s door and was startled at the sight unfolding before her eyes.

“Yes, I have already heard about Master.”

“No, more than that…”

Seeing Yulia calmly replying, Princess Riena’s head rang with an inexplicable warning sound.

Yulia wasn’t usually the type to decorate. A plain face without makeup, neatly pulled up hair, and comfortable clothes for training.

Although that was clearly a symbol of Yulia.

Right now, Yulia is like Princess Riena.

Her beautiful red hair hung down long, her lips as clear and transparent as cherries, as if she had put a lot of effort into makeup, and her smooth, white skin, which she had always liked, seemed to shine on its own.

In addition, she was wearing an uncomfortable and fancy dress that did not consider Su-ryun at all.

Because her voluptuous body was exposed, it was embarrassing to look at it from Princess Riena’s point of view, who had never seen Yulia like that before.

That was a rose.

A red rose with spiky thorns.

“Are there any problems?”

Staring at Princess Riena, Yulia tilted her head.

There is a problem. Anyway, there is a problem.

She wanted to say that, but Princess Riena couldn’t help but keep her mouth shut. In fact, what could be wrong with Yulia dressing up a little more than usual? Princess Riena was well aware that such a thought itself was absurd.

“No, Yulia. It looks pretty like this You usually do something like that.”

Ignoring the sudden sense of crisis, Princess Riena pretended to be arrogant and praised the truth.

“Is that so? That’s good. I hope Master thinks so too.”

Yulia nodded while smiling.

“Mum. But wouldn’t my master like the usual look more? Master really likes training.”

“that….”

Seeing Julia happily smiling brightly, let Princess Riena get strangely grumpy and say something she didn’t mean to.

Yulia’s complexion suddenly darkened.

Chuuk.

It was clear that if he had ears and a tail like Princess Riena’s, he would have drooped.

“No, on second thought, I think I’d much rather like the way I look now. Are you sure!”

Seeing that, Princess Riena, who felt weak, immediately waved her hand and changed her words.

Looking at Yulia, it was like an obedient puppy that followed her owner all day long.

Does Rosenberg have dog spirit blood? Having such a ridiculous delusion, Princess Riena shook her head hurriedly.

“Is that so too? thank you.”

Whip.

There was a hallucination of something shaking violently behind Yulia’s back.

Does Master feel this way when he sees me? Upon realizing it, it was Princess Riena, who felt ashamed all over again.

Yulia wasn’t even there in the first place, just because Princess Riena felt that way.

Didn’t he actually see his wagging tail in the master’s eyes? To be honest, I couldn’t even compare.

“Yu… Yulia, let’s get ready soon.”

for recognizing that fact.

Princess Riena urged Yulia with a face that was about to explode.

“yes. I will finish this and leave.”

Staring into the mirror, Yulia, who applied one last rouge and touched her lips seductively, grabbed the collar of her dress and elegantly stood up.

‘As expected, something… something…’

Dangerous.

At that moment, Princess Riena had a hunch. Even if the master was wooden, there was no guarantee that he would be like that forever. In any case, isn’t the master also a man in his prime?

Besides, the two are oddly similar even in their personalities.

After all, it was close to a match made in heaven.

“Yulia, I’m preparing first. I also thought of something to do.”

“All right.”

Gently, Yulia nodded.

‘Dangerous. Dangerous.’

I was convinced when I took another look at the neat and clean Yulia.

I hurried it first and it looked ridiculous, but now wasn’t the time to care about that.

At this rate, it was clear that he would open his eyes and cut his nose.

There are some things in the world that no matter how close you are, you cannot yield.

Clenching her fists, Princess Riena made up her mind.

boom- boom-

Bernstein’s initiative.

As they entered the city through the great gates of Brandenburg, firecrackers were fired from all sides.

The flames of the magic firecrackers, created by the magicians of the Mage Tower, lit up the sky in broad daylight and splendidly.

Thousands of citizens came out on both sides of the road that continued along the gate, scattering flowers and cheering.

“Black Lion! Black Lion!”

“Black Dragon!”

“Long live Bernstein!”

In the meantime, the soldiers who had survived thanks to Carol joined the ranks of the citizens without realizing it and shouted at their throats.

“hmm. It’s a black dragon…”

A soldier from the Dragoon Regiment who quietly followed Carol muttered with a serious expression.

“Prince Carol is not just a dragon.”

The other soldier shook his head with a firm expression on his eyes.

“okay. It’s like…”

One of the soldiers opened his mouth slowly, like an enlightened seer, recalling the scene where black flames rained down from the sky.

“Black Flame Dragon.”

Even after he said it, he nodded his head up and down as if in admiration, satisfied.

“Are you a genius? It’s really perfect!”

The soldier next to him agreed, wide-eyed. Like that, Carol’s nickname gradually spread among the soldiers.

The higher the realm, the more developed the five senses. Every single word the soldiers said came to Carol’s ear.

Even against tens of thousands of troops, his hands and feet were shaking without even a slight movement. However, I can’t bear to stop the soldiers saying they like each other.

Carol clenched her teeth and closed her eyes quietly.

Following a prearranged route, Charles and the Dragoon Regiment marched through the city of Brandenburg. Not only around the main street, but also alleys, balconies, and even rooftops were full of citizens.

Wizards placed throughout the place generously poured brilliant ceremonial magic used at festivals whenever Carol’s party passed by.

The magic of beautiful colors and the colorful flower petals held and blown by citizens created a magnificent spectacle. It was quite luxurious for a hastily prepared improvement ceremony.

It was all the more so because the war ended early without much sacrifice. After all, the soldiers heading to the battlefield were someone’s son or husband.

Of course, there were many more people who were happy.

As the conscripted soldiers returned one by one, the city regained its vitality.

In proportion to that, the voices chanting Carol grew louder and louder.

As they rode and marched right next to Carol, Piet was thrilled.

I felt like I was standing next to the protagonist of history.

Although now, rumors about Karl spread only in some areas, including Brandenburg.

It was clear that Carol’s reputation would become more and more widely known throughout the continent.

Right now, Piet himself was going to explain every word of the mythical sight he had seen to everyone he met.

‘Karl the Black Flame Dragon.’

The raucous chatter of the soldiers of the Dragoon Regiment reached the ears of Piet, who was in the lead.

Piet also strongly sympathized with the title, and made a promise to make Carol’s name resonate throughout the continent.

Thinking that this was Piet’s own mission as he witnessed the myth with his own two eyes.

Eventually, the march ended and we arrived in front of the Bernstein mansion site.

“Prince Carol, it was a real honor to serve you. Personally, it’s okay, so if you need help with anything, please come to Piet. Enough then.”

To take care of things, Piet politely bowed and left.

* * *

When I entered the mansion grounds, all the people inside were lined up and waiting.

There was an awkward feeling at the hospitality along the way into the central mansion. It wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for.

Of course, after experiencing this, it wasn’t too bad.

“Carl.”

My father, standing upright at the end of the road.

When Marshal Heinrich arrived at the front of the mansion, he took a step forward and grabbed my shoulders.

“Good job. I am proud of you.”

It wasn’t a grandiose expression, but it would be the highest praise from the usually blunt Margrave Heinrich’s point of view.

“no. I just did it because I could.”

It was human duty to pay back even a small amount of silver.

“Not everyone who has power uses it for the right purpose. You did a great enough job.”

“…thank you.”

“Go in.”

Marquis Heinrich, who looked at me and nodded once, took a step back and moved aside.

I sensed that Marquis Heinrich’s flat tone was mixed with a sense of meaning.

I opened the antique door of the Bernstein Mansion out of curiosity and saw Princess Riena and Julia surrounded by countless maids.

“Master, are you here?”

“Master. Are you here?”

As if they were competing, they came to my side at the same time and their eyes lit up. It was so much more decorated than usual that I wondered if it was the disciples I knew.

Especially in the case of Princess Riena.

Do you see how he puts his hands together while exuding a sense of humor, and even uses honorific words while pretending not to be like that at all?

It was clear that he had thought of something wrong, but it wasn’t just once or twice that Princess Riena did it, so he decided to just do it.

“yes. I’m home. Were you practicing well while I was gone?”

“yes.”

Yulia, who speaks sternly in clothes that are completely different from training.

“Of course. No, this is…!”

Even Princess Riena, who seemed to have her tongue twisted for doing something out of the ordinary.

It was a lovely landscape.

“Now then, let’s start the proper training again from tomorrow. Be prepared.”

“Master, don’t you think about us…?”

Princess Riena twitched her hair and pursed her lips.

Yulia didn’t say anything, but her eyes were different from usual.

“I was thinking about what other crazy thoughts the two of us had.”

“It’s too…yo.”

“…”

He placed his hands on top of the two heads, who clearly looked depressed.

“You can both go and hold the wedding ceremony. Of course, it would be a shame to give it to someone else.”

“Yes? That sounds pretty right? It’s a bit uncle-like, but it’s not bad.”

He forgot that Princess Riena had forced her to say honorifics and laughed lightly.

“I have no intention of going to anyone else.”

Yulia was burning with a strange desire to compete with her eyes sparkling.

“Yeah…well, that’s right.”

“That’s it.”

“You worked hard. Master.”

I took the two of them with satisfied faces and went to my room while chatting with each other.

Well, in many ways, it wasn’t such a bad feeling.

* * *

There was also the aftermath of the Northern War, and summer vacation flew by.

While concentrating on the training of Princess Riena and Yulia.

Arya’s martial arts were refined and handed down again.

As I checked my own martial arts one more time, the time to return was approaching.

「To Executor Carol-sama. I heard that the activity in the north was good. I’ve felt it before, but it’s really amazing. If you have time, I’d like to talk to you one more time. We would like to meet you in person for more details. Enforcer Chloe.”

In addition, a letter arrived just in time from Chloe, a colleague of the Executioner. We weren’t very close friends.

Even sending a letter like this would mean that something happened that you couldn’t handle alone.

It seemed like we needed to see each other.
