80 – Academy Attack Case – 2
“...... “Now, what did you say?”
Erestica’s hand holding the magic tool trembled. Her eyes were wide open and her fingernails were digging into her palms.
But there was no time to worry about such trivial things. She just quietly asked the person beyond the magic tool whether she had heard correctly.
“If this is a report about him, you will have to take responsibility for the words you said.”
“Of course. Why did you betray the demons and decide to fight alongside us humans? “It’s impossible for me to deceive you like that.”
After a brief pause, Geomseong answered in a calm voice.
“The fire dragon Mahbat has appeared in the eastern border area with the Demon World.”
Hearing those words, Erestica’s eyes were colored with hatred and joy. The hatred was, of course, directed at Mahbat, and the joy was at the fact that the opportunity had finally come to tear the bastard to pieces.
“It seems like the imperial palace wants me to step forward, but-“
“Let me tell the idiot who dared to say something like that. If anyone other than me touches the dragon, the empire will be engulfed in the dragon’s wrath. I am speaking in the name of Meligor, not Erestica. Killing it must be entirely mine, from beginning to end.”
“I know. Don’t worry. “I already told you that the dragon will go out in person, so don’t worry.”
The fact that the dragon, not Erestica, not Meligor, much less the chairman of Belium Academy, announced that the dragon would personally go to war means that the Sword Saint guessed what would happen next.
“I wish you good luck.”
With those words, the light of the communication magic tool faded. Erestica quietly put down her magic tool. And then she let out a happy sigh and tried to calm down her anger.
“Genga finally came out with that heavy body.”
But he did not fade away at all. Erestica muttered coldly, her voice overflowing with hatred until it cooled down.
It was an opportunity for revenge that came after 130 years. You must never miss it.
Erestica checked the magic barrier surrounding her academy one last time to prepare for any unexpected situation, and soared into the sky, leaving only a note saying she would go out for a while.
When her body rose higher than her clouds, a mountain-like being appeared.
“How have you been, Mira Krayt?”
“...... “It’s been a while since I saw you, Your Highness.”
I received the crown prince’s greeting in awe. The crown prince, whom I had not seen in a long time, was still overbearing and arrogant. Nothing had changed except that he felt like his feminine curves had become a little stronger.
It was good that we didn’t get involved for a while, but it seems like that wasn’t the case on that side.
“For what reason did you call me?”
“Please take a seat for now. “It’s not a story worth telling with you standing there.”
I was about to sit down on the chair that had been pulled out beforehand, as if to say out loud, but I stopped when I noticed something on it. This made me wonder why it was here.@@@@
“Why are you doing that?”
“There’s something here.”
I picked up what was lying on the chair. It was a white compression bandage that was quite long.
When the crown prince saw the compression bandage in my hand, he trembled in a rare way. Then he fumbled with his pockets with hasty hands, and chewed his lip, his complexion turning slightly blue.
“If you promise to give me undying loyalty, I will also let you know my biggest secret and weakness. “If it is the next emperor’s biggest secret and weakness, then isn’t it a loss-making business for you as well?”
It’s the biggest secret. It was a tempting offer, but there was something you needed to know first. I took out a piece of paper and wrote the names of several families on it.
“I have something to ask you. “Are these also included in the list of nobles who support the deposed crown prince?”
The crown prince took the paper, read it, and looked genuinely surprised.
“How did you know? That’s accurate. “I didn’t know you also had a talent for espionage.”
‘As expected.’
The list written on the paper was all nobles who mentioned that Gloria was definitely possessed by a succubus. And even the Astrière family, which I wrote down just in case.
I just felt confident. The Succubus Queen is involved in the current situation. The fact that they are even using the Astrière family means that they too have risked their life and death in this matter.
“I like you more and more. I really want to keep it by my side. “Now I want to hear the answer from your mouth.”
The crown prince’s bright red eyes shined. Greed dripped from the way he looked at me. When he saw that, he felt shaken, but he couldn’t help it.
Now that it has been confirmed that the supporters of the deposed prince are tied to the demons, there is no longer any option to take that side.
“Of course, I am on His Highness’s side.”
“Forever?”
“As long as His Royal Highness doesn’t take the wrong path.”
A satisfied smile appeared on the crown prince’s face after hearing my answer.
“Put aside those worries. Well, now that I have gained an ally who is like a thousand demons, I also have to keep my promise. As promised, I will tell you my biggest secret and weakness.”
I focused closely. That’s probably information that even Priscilla and Rosaria don’t know. If there was such a thing, both of them would have told it about it a long time ago.
A feeling of shame appeared on the crown prince’s face. Even so, recently her face, which felt infinitely feminine rather than androgynous, has become even more bewitching.
“I am actually-“
At that moment, the sunlight leaking outside the window disappeared. The room was immersed in darkness. Sensing something strange, the two of us looked out the window at the same time, without even knowing who was first.
“...... It looks like the fulfillment of the contract will have to be postponed until later. “I’m sorry, dear.”
The crown prince muttered in a calm voice. Her eyes turned to the sky.
The defense shield surrounding the academy was constantly shaking, like a beach swept by a huge typhoon. Beyond the shield, I could see a curtain that had plunged the entire academy into darkness.
Under the curtain, an ominous colored portal was about to open. Whatever it was, it was clear that it was a very bad sign.
‘Yes. For some reason, it felt like something was going to explode.’
I knew something was going to happen from the moment the Pope’s personal guards came here and the Pope showed up, even if it was a fake.
I didn’t expect it to explode like this.
‘We need to hurry to reduce the damage.’
I knew what the situation out there meant.
Academy attack incident.
It was an event announcing the final chapter of Part 1 of the original novel.
