The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

88. Seri Verdia

Mikaris woke up safely, and we returned to the academy after the decontamination practice.

“Mika, are you okay now?”

“I was worried.”

Ronia and Eileen came up first and said hello. They must have suffered a lot in their own way.

“Rather, I feel refreshed as if I woke up from a good night’s sleep. Should I say that the fatigue of the whole body has gone? It’s refreshing.”

of course. Because I woke up with a dragon.

The dragon’s power is absolute. To the extent that it is on a different level from the circle magic that humans use. That’s why Mikaris can be so healthy. But… what do you mean by refreshing?

“How have you been, Mr. Hound?”

“How did you wake Mika? I heard it’s difficult to regain consciousness.”

“Everything had a way.”

If it wasn’t for Seri Verdia’s words, he might never see Mika. He might not have returned to my arms. I should say thank you to her.

“I have a job. Would you like to share something you haven’t heard before?”

“is it so? That’s too bad.”

“Go. Hound.”

Mikaris poked me in the side. Then,

“Aren’t you going to seduce another woman? Get used to this situation.”

“Ah no way. How long has it been since Mika woke up?”

“Then you bring in a new girl over time? Is that so?”

what. familiar with this situation. Why are arrows flying at me all of a sudden? I can’t understand.

“It’s not like that. You must report to the principal. It looks like I’ll be called to the imperial family. I have a lot of work to do.”

“okay. If that’s the case, that’s fine. go.”

“then… .”

After enduring her interrogation, I hurriedly moved to the president’s office.

“Has the problem been resolved?”

“Fortunately.”

“I’m really glad that…”

Appel Cloud let out a deep breath. Then he spoke.

“But what happened? You’ve risen to the top in the time I haven’t seen you for a while. I’ve never seen such overwhelming power. Did you get a dragon heart with a beating heart?”

“It happened quite a bit.”

“This is a ridiculous achievement.

I raised the corner of my mouth.

“If Mika hadn’t woken up, this place might have turned into a sea of fire. Please be careful in the future.”

“You make scary noises casually.”

“Because my fiancée is so important to me.”

“I envy you for taking care of romance.”

Appel Cloud is over 30 years old. Even so, there is no news of marriage, and there is no fiancé. In this worldview, men over 30 are not popular. Well, it would be different with Apel Cloud.

“Anyway, this is the end of the report. I have to go say thank you.”

“I have nothing more to say, so you can go out. The academy will be closed soon.”

This means that my coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner. Early graduation will be held at the same time the academy is closed.

“then.”

I left the office of the president and immediately went to see Seri Verdia.

You should ask her. How did the dragon word become a clue that he could wake Mikaris, how did he know that and why did he tell it for me?

There are not just one or two questions for her.

‘I’ll understand if I meet him in person.’

While I was deep in thought, I arrived at Seri Verdia’s dormitory.

smart. I carefully knocked on the door and said.

“This is Johannes. Lady Verdia.”

“Oh, come in!”

When I open the door and enter,

“Count Johannes? Please have a seat.”

Seri Verdia welcomed me with a smile.

But why are you so welcoming to me?

That young lady’s attitude was something I couldn’t get used to.

“… The advice you gave me the other day was really helpful. I owe a debt to Lady Verdia.”

“I’m really glad if it was helpful.”

“By the way. How did you know that dragon words were the way to solve Lady Merian’s condition?”

“Oh, are you asking about the source of the information? Do women have many secrets?”

It sounds like you’re trying to get over it smartly. Do I have to ask somehow? what about this

“If you want to pass it on as a secret, I will pass it on too. I don’t think you’ll be able to tell me if I ask.”

“It’s a good choice.”

“So, it’s not like you gave me information to help me. What do you want from me?”

Seri Verdia is fresh. Raised the corners of his mouth.

“The story is fast. Take me with you when you clean up the South. Are you aiming for the Grand Duke of the South?”

what is this again? why take you How did you know I was aiming for the Grand Duke by purifying the South? Are there any surveillance? No way. It’s because I’m constantly activating my aura and feeling the presence.

“… How did you know I was going to cleanse the South?”

“You have a lot of questions. Rumors have spread among the nobility.”

It was definitely something the emperor and I talked about. Are there any rumors about the nobility?

‘Is there another organization like Quasar?’

But there’s probably no organization larger than a quasar. It is said that there is no intelligence organization that has access to the imperial family’s information.

‘… Was the emperor talking? Or the crown prince?’

At least, it was most likely that the crown prince had told him.

Otherwise, Seri Verdia has the ability to read thoughts.

“What are you thinking about? Excuse me for putting me in front of you.”

“sorry. Lady Verdia is really beautiful whenever I see her, so that’s enough.”

“You are always so flattering. The one who is getting married soon.”

“… … .”

This woman is too suspicious even if she is suspicious.

A very different personality and behavior from the original.

It has a lot of suspicious information.

‘Are you going to return? Was this work the second round?’

Considering the time when he remembered what Ygritte had said, it was a valid hypothesis. Because history repeats itself.

“So, will you do me a favor? The Cleansing of the South.”

“… It’s not about traveling. It can be incredibly dangerous.”

“Since Sir Johannes is here, what is there to be afraid of? You know what? Count Johannes has a reputation as a one-man corps among the imperial family and nobles.”

One man army? It’s not a bad nickname. Maybe a little happy… .

No, let’s calm down. I’m getting sucked into Serie Verdia’s conversation right now.

“Keuheum, if that’s a request from Lady Verdia, I’ll do it. Because I have been greatly favored.”

“That’s nice. Whoops.”

what’s funny… .

Well, it’s not bad if Seri Verdia participates.

It means that the number of people to clean up the pollution has increased enormously.

Protection can be carried out through the night tour.

In addition, I can directly recognize Serie Verdia, which has been suspicious all the time, right in front of my eyes.

‘It won’t be bad.’

This is your chance. I will dig out all the doubts about you that have been overflowing in the meantime.

“If the business is over, let’s go now.”

“Are you leaving already?”

Seri Verdia looked at me blankly, as if regretting it.

“I have a job too.”

I gave a light eye salute. When I was about to leave Seri Verdia’s room,

“Hey, there’s one more thing I want to ask you.”

“What is it?”

I answered as harshly as possible. It meant I didn’t want to talk anymore.

“Can you please call me tax collector? I want to be called by my first name.”

“Do you want to make friends with me?”

“If so, you can say yes, if not, you can say no. Personally, I am very interested in you.”

“… If the young lady wants it.”

I’m somewhat sorry for Mika and Ronia, but I can’t help it. How can I ignore her who contributed to Mikaris’ awakening? If it’s black, you have to

“Then I really want to go out now.”

“Please call me tax collector.”

“yes. tax collector.”

“It’s good.”

left the room

‘… She’s really a mysterious woman.’

She never had anything to do with Cersei Verdia. Therefore, my butterfly effect would not have had a significant effect.

‘Is this work a parallel world?’

… There will be no such case. Because the incident happened just like that.

‘Although the timing is a bit early.’

I returned to the dormitory, lost in all my thoughts.

‘Come to think of it, I should talk to them… .’

I will be in my 3rd grade soon.

The reason Estrada Academy students go to decontamination practice in their sophomore year is simple.

It’s not to gain experience, it’s just a rehearsal before going to the front in the third year.

‘I want to keep them in my party somehow.’

The destination is set to the South… .

‘It would be nice to talk to them.’

***

I called them to my drawing room.

“everyone. You know it’s going to be third grade soon, right?”

“That’s right. The coming-of-age ceremony isn’t too far away.”

“Now we have to go to the front line. Might be a bit scary… .”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of when you’re with Hound.”

Eileen seems to be very dependent on me. How are you going to live without me

‘Well, we’re going to live together.’

Heck, this isn’t important.

From noble mtl dot com

“You go to the South at the same party as me in the third grade.”

“The South has a lot of not-so-good memories, but it’s fine if you want.”

“It’s okay if it’s Mr. Hound’s decision.”

“I can go anywhere with the Hound.”

Well, not a bad answer.

“By the way, isn’t Mr. Hound graduating early?”

“that’s right. I will make a troop and harvest the girls. You can’t trust other parties.”

I decided not to trust anyone after Mikaris was poisoned. All I can trust is my strength.

‘Because I don’t want to experience that again.’

By the way, I have to bring up the story of Seri Verdia… Shall we throw it carefully?

“Hey, but I have some important news.”

“Is this good news?”

“Not very good news.”

“What is it?”

gulp. My neck was heavy.

“It looks like I should be with Lady Verdia.”

fall. Their faces stiffened. Eileen looked around and checked her eyes.

“… why is that girl wherefore.”

“Actually, I wouldn’t have been able to find a way to wake Mika without her help. So I went to pay it back, and he asked me to take him with me when I went to clean up the South.”

“What does that sound like?”

“If you are with me, you are safe.. I couldn’t refuse. Mika woke up with her help.”

“… That’s it too. I don’t like her, but I can’t help it.”

Mikaris seems to have gotten better to some extent, but Ronia’s face looked sullen.

“Never mind. I’m here now, right?”

“That too.”

“… that’s right.”

“Anyway, that’s all I can say. Aren’t you all dissatisfied?”

I said with a smile.

“okay. If it is your choice.”

“I can’t help it. The more divine magicians there are, the better.”

“I agree too.”

They all nodded their heads together.

“great. All right, the meeting is over.”

So, our new spring was approaching.
