15 – To the tiger’s den

Overcame the hellish morning training.

After that, I lightly wiped off the sweat from my body and resumed my study of royal studies, which I had neglected.

My body sent me a signal to take a break now, but I was in a situation where I promised Priscilla that I would win the entrance exam.

I couldn’t stop screaming in pain in a place like this.

“I will end here for today. You worked hard, Your Highness.”

“You learned a lot, Martin.”

I didn’t show that it was difficult no matter what condition I was in, and as I continued to take classes, small changes began to emerge.

“… May I tell you a little rude story, Your Highness?”

Don’t you know that asking such a question itself is rude?

I won’t allow it though.

Because it’s more common sense than training at dawn.

I nodded slightly to the man who came as a tutor.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect much. Because I have heard that something similar has happened before.”

Yes, you can.

Sometimes I thought that I shouldn’t live like this, so I called the tutor again.

But even with such determination, it didn’t last more than three days, so I faced catastrophe in a form that could be called a typical three days of determination.

“I have committed a very big disrespect. I’m really sorry.”

After saying that, Martin bowed his head politely.

Perhaps it was because he was assigned by the Prime Minister, he was a more naive man than I thought.

“So from now on, I will do my best to face it.”

… Why do you all come to the same conclusion?

The captain of the knights, his deputy, and even you.

It seems that there are only guys who are desperate to squeeze and kill me.

From then on, even the royal studies class, which can be said to be a rest for my mind, turned into a hellish time.

If the deputy captain ordered me to do what I could do that day, Martin would push me to a level where it would be impossible to keep up with my progress without preparation and review after class.

It was a hellish forced march, but perhaps because of the nature of the sun, the body didn’t spread easily.

“Awesome, Your Highness!”

Wouldn’t the man named Martin actually have to hold the sword?

He’s such a passionate guy that I’ve lived with compliments whenever I do something.

Why do people around me say that I am so amazing?

‘No, if it’s natural, is it natural?’

If the guy who had been working hard for three days showed such a hard work, even if I were a teacher, I would live with compliments so that the fever wouldn’t go out.

Perhaps if Priscilla or Dior were the opponents, this man wouldn’t have been so eager to praise him.

I was fed up with that thought and my laughter leaked out.

“Your Highness?”

“No. I just feel like I’m lacking a lot, so don’t mind.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Learning may be late or early, but there is no end.”

That’s right.

As there are many fields of study, it is a field that is not lacking even if you study until you die.

So, from the outside, no matter when you start, as long as you stick with it, it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

I understand what you mean, but….

‘The words also depend on who is speaking.’

When the man who had been mentally abusing me a while ago said that, she seemed to be declaring that she would pickle her studies until she died, so much so that she broke into a cold sweat on her back.

“For learning is a deep law.”

“That’s right, Your Highness. So would it be all right if I offered you a suggestion?”

After six days of pushing, is there anything else?

I replied with a slight nod of my head to hide my tired expression.

“The path of study is endless. So sometimes I feel tired and lonely. In times like these, having someone with you is a reassuring law.”

What do you mean?

“If Your Highness is interested… Would you like to join the research society I run?”

Is this really about becoming a graduate student?

You’re crazy.

I felt goose bumps all over my body, perhaps because of the memory of my previous life.

Since he was showing tension, the man continued talking as if it was not a big deal.

“Even if it is a study meeting, it is a casual exchange meeting. It’s not enough, but it’s like a social gathering where those who have been taught by me gather and exchange stories.”

Students of her man named Martin….

‘Wait… Isn’t there a chancellor’s son and a knight commander’s son?’

This man named Martin was recommended by the chancellor.

Looking at how well I responded to the epidemic commotion for a week, he judged that I had changed, so he attached the most reliable personnel.

Obviously there was such an explanation in the game.

‘Didn’t I say that we became close because we bumped into each other often at social gatherings?’

This is how it goes.

In the game, they are the people who enter the moment I enter the second year, so originally, they are the people I will meet two years from now.

But I never thought we’d see each other this soon.

‘It’s not a bad flow.’

The two are talented people who will carry the future empire.

It’s good to make friends now.

The problem is that the schedule becomes so tight that even 10 bodies are not enough, but….

‘It can’t be helped.’

We need to catch up where we have been behind for six years.

To give up is to give up.

Still, don’t you take a day off on the weekend?

I’ll just have to wait and endure it.

“It’s okay. Could you introduce me later?”

“Of course, Your Highness!”

Ah, Priscilla.

It’s not like I’m looking forward to the weekend because I miss you.

I just want to run away for a while because I am so afraid of the wall of reality created by the hiatus of 6 years.

“Tomorrow is the weekend, so I think we can start next week.”

Okay, from next week? .

As I was looking blankly at the bleak future that began next week, Martin looked at me with a scheming look on his face.

“What happened?”

“Do you know anything about the study group?”

“I heard it for the first time today.”

“… Yes, I understand.”

What is it?

Why do the faces of the maids working at Biryonggwan overlap with the face of that man in his mid-40s?

‘Looks like he needs a break.’

Anyway, it felt like my brain had grown accustomed to cramming too much information into it.

“hahahaha, it’s the weekend soon, so I’ll end it a little early today.”

“… Thanks for the map Have a nice weekend.”

“Yes, have a nice weekend.”

Still, a man named Martin is a great man who knows how to be flexible.

This has given me a little more time.

I immediately called in her lady-in-waiting and ordered her to prepare tea.

Ah, this is it.

The only drug allowed to me.

Tea from Istria.

“Hmm.”

Become calmer.

It felt like my brain, which had matured to the limit, was cooling down a bit.

As she was drinking her tea, her eyes met the lady-in-waiting who came to serve her tea.

When Anetra kicked out her maid, she was her new maid named Seria.

‘Is this guy the same guy?’

I’m sure she’s the maid from the time I talked about Priscilla the other day.

‘It was a meaningless appointment.’

This world is basically a boring world with little entertainment.

That’s why there is no subject matter as interesting as a love story.

Just as she kicked out Annette and her handmaid named Seria Lee came in, you have to kick out her handmaid named Seria Lee before another human of a similar type comes in.

If this is the case, it might be better not to talk about it.

‘Let’s talk….’

If you meet Priscilla here in the drawing room, for better or for worse, the story will definitely leak out.

In that case, wouldn’t it be a place where the story doesn’t leak from the beginning?

‘Is there such a place?’

At least not in the imperial castle.

‘If you go on a picnic a little further….’

It is difficult.

There is a high possibility of being exposed to danger from the outside.

You have to prepare a lot of escort troops accordingly, and then it becomes a story that there are actually more eyes than Biryonggwan.

In the first place, I have to meet Priscilla soon after this night, and it’s difficult to prepare her escort forces in such a short time.

Then they say we have to meet inside somewhere, but it would be even more difficult in a normal store….

‘Hmm?’

Coming to think of it, he has visited Biryonggwan before, but I have never visited his villa.

‘… Isn’t this a good opportunity?’

You can get away from the gaze of users to some extent.

The most important thing is—

‘To catch a tiger, you have to enter the tiger’s den.’

The witch may be able to see her true self, which she has kept hidden.

Very good.

‘I can take a bit of a risk.’

Until now, there were many opportunities to be alone, but Priscilla had never acted in isolation.

So it’s safe to say that it’s her villa, so the chances of her trying something are slim.

“I need to write a letter. To prepare.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

There is still a little time left before sunset.

It wouldn’t be too disrespectful to write a letter right away and say I’ll visit you tomorrow.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s disrespectful.’

From noble mtl dot com

I’ve been living like that for six years now, so wouldn’t Priscilla accept it as well?

‘I’m sorry that the content always made me take a hard step, but sometimes I can just say I’ll go there.’

Still, it is a letter from the crown prince to her fiancee.

Business is a job that ends in one line, but sending it in just one line is a bit of a stretch.

……

As I wrote it while worrying so much, the sunset passed before I knew it.

In the past, I think I just wrote smoothly and smoothly, but today, it was because I didn’t write anything strangely, probably because I overworked my hair.

“Send to Priscilla. Read it today, don’t forget to tell me.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

As the crown prince, he tried to be polite to his fiancée, but on the contrary, he committed the rudeness of sending her letter at too late.

What is this….

‘It must have been because I was nervous.’

It must have been because he was nervous about entering the tiger’s den.

I’m sure it will.

Obviously.
