Academy’s Second Seat

next day.

In Rie’s room, the maids were busily coming and going since morning.

Yesterday, Rie secretly went somewhere and ordered the maids.

“I’m going to Astria tomorrow, so know that.”

The maids were greatly surprised by Rie’s words.

First of all, it is a widely known fact that Rie is an ally of the Astrian family.

Students who attended the academy knew that Rudy and Rudy were good friends, but the rumors had not yet spread to the capital.

Lee got dressed and walked outside.

As I went out in front of the palace where Rie was staying, a carriage was waiting.

Next to the carriage stood knights in uniforms.

“Come on, let’s go.”

After saying that, Rie was escorted by the knight and boarded the carriage.

A carriage engraved with the imperial design.

And knights in uniforms.

It meant a formal visit to the Astrians.

Of course, it was rude to make such a fuss and say that I would visit you one day in advance.

However, Lee didn’t care and went ahead.

People around me wondered why Rie was doing this, but once she said she would do it, the work proceeded normally.

So some time passed.

Astrian mansion in the capital.

The Astrian family was very busy.

He was preparing a splendid dinner when he suddenly heard the news that Li was visiting.

Ian fell into such a disturbing thought.

“Are you visiting because of Rudy?”

Listening to Thomas, when Rudy said he would return to the family, Rie was there.

Also, at the academy, I heard that Rie and Rudy got along very well.

As a result, Ian was somewhat predicting that this would happen.

As long as it was in the capital, it had no choice but to be close to the Imperial Palace.

However, Rudy could not be imprisoned in the Astrian estate where his father was.

“Ian.”

Then Thomas walked up to him.

“Princess Li has arrived.”

Ian nodded his head slightly.

“i get it. let me go.”

Ian said so and walked towards the front of the mansion.

Then, Lie, who had been decorated in a splendid manner, appeared.

Ian approached Lie first and greeted him.

“Princess, welcome to the Astrian mansion.”

“Oh, Ian Astria. Nice to meet you.”

Rie said to Ian with a sad face.

Few people were able to show that to the heir of the Astrian family.

Ian was very displeased with Lie’s attitude like that, but he swallowed his heart.

He is still the heir of the Astrian family.

So, she couldn’t be rude to the princess.

yet it is

“Come on, then let’s go in.”

Ian said so, but Rie did not move and tilted her head.

“Where did Rudy go?”

“Oh, you mean Rudy?”

Ian smiled at that.

“Rudi is a little ill right now and is lying in bed.”

“Oh, is it?”

Lee said he didn’t know anything.

and continued talking.

“Then I should have a visit. Could you please guide me?”

There was a moment of silence at Lee’s words.

Rie looked at Ian, paying close attention to what kind of expression he was making.

However, Ian did not panic.

“I am afflicted with a contagious disease right now, so I am worried that if I get too close, the princess will also get sick.”

At that, Lee frowned.

“Are you saying it’s not okay to just look at your face?”

“sorry. Now, according to the opinion of the doctor, users are also restricting access.”

Lie nodded at that.

The doctor said so, but I thought it was a bit strange that I was forcing myself to go, so at first I agreed.

“Then let’s go in.”

Rie went inside under the guidance of Ian.

Then we headed towards the restaurant in the mansion.

A sumptuous dinner was served in the restaurant.

Lie and Ian sat down and started eating.

While eating like that, Rie opened her mouth first.

“Rudy, you seem like a good friend.”

At Lie’s words, Ian frowned.

Is Rudy okay?

That was a really stupid thing to say.

Of course, the Astrian family tried to teach Rudy well.

However, despite such teachings, Rudy was an idiot.

Although the academy didn’t show that kind of image, Ian thought it was.

For once, Ian smiled.

“It’s the Astrian family.”

Ian immediately agreed to that statement.

However, he didn’t just agree, he said as if Rudy was able to show a good side because the Astrian family did well.

Lee snorted at that.

“Well, even if you get good teaching, it’s hard to get good learning.”

Lie said so and smiled at Ian.

“Even if you receive the same teaching, it is difficult to obtain the same learning.”

When Ian heard those words, veins appeared on his forehead.

Rie’s words were, ‘Rudy learned well, but why are you like that?’

So Ian had a fever.

Everyone knows that Ian is doing better than Rudy.

By the way, Rie was saying that Rudy was better than Ian.

Ian tried to say something at these words, but he swallowed them.

I didn’t say it directly, but I said it backwards.

So, if Li pretended not to know, only Ian would be in trouble.

“What… … Thank you for taking such good care of Rudy.”

hard.

Ian gritted his teeth.

Lee looked at him and smiled bitterly.

It was the smile of a winner.

“Hey, wait… … .”

Rie smiled like that and got up from her seat.

It was a call to go to the bathroom for a while.

Rie left her seat for a while and walked around the mansion.

A maid followed Lie later, but Li did not care.

“Uh, Princess? That here… … .”

The maid led Rie to the bathroom, but Rie continued walking without going into the bathroom.

“Princess?”

Lee paused for a moment and looked around.

There was nobody around.

Rie smiled and looked at the maid.

“Now, can you tell me where Rudy’s room is?”

After threatening the maid like that, Rie started running.

It was uncomfortable to run because I was wearing a dress, so I ran while holding my skirt so that it did not touch the floor.

“There it is!”

I ran so fast and arrived near Rudy’s room that the maid told me.

Rie reached nearby and walked to the door.

Then I heard a voice from behind.

“Where are you going, Princess?”

Rie looked back and saw Ian’s figure.

Ian smiled as if he had expected it.

“You will die. Didn’t I tell you about Rudy’s condition earlier?”

Rie looked at Ian for a moment and then shook her head.

And ran into Rudy’s room.

Lie quickly opened the door to the room where Rudy was.

“Rudy!”

Lee opened the door and shouted.

Then Lee saw… … .

“uh?”

It looked like Rudy was sleeping soundly in bed.

Ian walked behind Li, staring blankly at Rudy.

“What are you doing, Princess? What if you enter the room of a patient with a contagious disease?”

“this… … .”

Ian looked at Li like that and opened his mouth.

“Come on, Rudy is sleeping, so don’t wake him up and go back to his room.”

Ian chuckled.

That Rudy’s appearance was a hallucination.

The hallucination magic that Ian had used beforehand.

The person sleeping there was just an ordinary maid, put to sleep for a while, and then transformed into a hallucinatory magic.

In this way, Ian showed the users that Rudy was in the mansion.

So even the users knew that Rudy was ill at the mansion and was resting.

Rie stared at Rudy for a moment before leaving the room.

“Why are you acting so reckless because of your suspicions?”

“eww… … .”

Lee frowned.

Ian was happy to see him.

It took at least 10 minutes to grasp his hallucinatory magic at the level of Rie.

So, there was no way to know if that was a hallucination or real.

“You will die.”

Ian took the lead and led Lie back to the restaurant.

Lie followed Ian like that.

and.

Lee raised an eyebrow.

It seemed to be going as planned.

“professor. Lee has left.”

Luna said looking at the carriage bearing the imperial seal on which Li was riding.

“Okay, then let’s get started.”

Maguire opened the iron bag, took out a scroll, and tore it.

Then, a dove appeared, wrapped in a bright light.

“Tell me where Rudy Astria is.”

Then the dove slowly flew up and circled in the sky as if to follow.

“Let’s go. Luna.”

“Yes, Professor.”

Luna, Lee and Maguire’s plan.

It wasn’t about making sure Rudy was inside the Astrian mansion.

They already knew that Rudy was not in the mansion.

The reason Rie went to Astria’s mansion was to induce Ian’s vigilance.

He went to the Astria mansion to show that people around Rudy do not know about Rudy’s whereabouts yet.

However, they already knew Rudy’s whereabouts.

He didn’t know exactly where he was, but he knew for sure that he wasn’t in the Astrian mansion.

Maguire’s many magical tools.

Among those magic tools, the tools for finding a person’s location were overflowing.

There were also magic tools to check the direction of the person looking for, including a pigeon to find the person she had just used.

So, as soon as they arrived in the capital, they knew that Rudi was not in the Astrian mansion.

It was good to get a rough idea of where Rudy was, but there was a problem.

The fact that Ian finds out while they are on their way to rescue Rudy.

There was such a risk.

No matter how much Maguire had, he couldn’t face Ian head-to-head.

Even if Maguire fought properly, there was no guarantee that he would win against Ian, and it was certain that he would suffer heavy damage if he did.

So Lie caught Ian’s attention, and Luna and Professor Maguire devised a plan to rescue Rudy.

When Rie drove the royal carriage and officially visited the Astrian family, Ian could not leave his seat recklessly.

And there, when Rie is acting as if she doesn’t know about Rudy’s whereabouts.

At that time, I thought that I would never have thought that I would save Rudy.

It was kind of a two-way operation.

“Luna, this way.”

“Yes, Professor!”

Luna and Maguire ran to where Rudy was.
