The Duke’s Madness

At Arthur’s suggestion, Anna and Ginny immediately prepared to go out.

“Genie. Try on this.”

“A skirt? however… .”

Ginny, who was speechless, put on a puzzled expression.

“Why is it so short?”

“It’s a popular fashion these days, but Jinny has a great body, so it will suit her well!”

“hmm… Anna. It’s not a matter of fitting in and sleeping, it’s too short… .”

“There is no such thing as short or long in fashion! Try it on once!”

Ginny, who couldn’t resist Anna’s coercion, eventually wore the skirt she recommended.

“… … .”

Ginny couldn’t hide her astonishment at her bare legs.

‘Eh, clothes like this are the fashion these days?’

Wouldn’t it be better to walk around naked?

However, Anna in front of me was so fond of it, I couldn’t bear to say I didn’t wear it.

“Heh, heh heh! You are so pretty, Ginny!! Wear it as is!”

Eventually, Genie, changed into the clothes Anna had recommended, came out to the drawing room.

Arthur, who was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee, turned his head and said.

“oh. Ginny, if you’re going to wear something like that, wouldn’t it be better to just take it off?”

“… … .”

Ginny frowned and tried to shout something, but Anna spoke ahead of her.

“Confucius! What are you talking about! This is the fashion these days!”

“… Is it fashionable to be naked these days?”

“It’s not about being naked, it’s about fashion!”

Arthur shrugged and stood up.

“It suits me well, though. Shall we go then?”

Ginny, who was worried about whether she would change her mind even now at Arthur’s words, flinched.

“… Does it suit you?”

“It suits you. It’s strange that Ginny’s face doesn’t suit her.”

Ginny flinched again.

Meanwhile, Arthur opened the door and headed outside.

“Let’s go to Central Park, Confucius! That’s the hottest picnic spot these days!”

“It’s good. Let’s go there.”

The three of them left the mansion and headed to a place called Central Park at Anna’s suggestion.

“oh… Is it good?”

“They say it’s the most famous park in Arcane, Mr. Confucius.”

Arthur turned his gaze to Anna’s explanation.

“Wow!”

Children are running around, and parents watching the scene are smiling happily.

The scene illuminated by the clear sunlight in the blue sky was more beautiful than any other painting.

‘… hmm. Come to think of it, I haven’t been able to contact my mother this week.’

I’m contacting you once a week, but I forgot to do a request this week.

‘I’ll have to go back and give it to you. I want to hear Irene’s voice.’

Arthur raised a corner of his mouth and looked away.

At some point, Anna, who had spread out a mat, was holding a lunch box.

“A sandwich for a picnic!”

With her cry, Arthur and Genie also sat down appropriately.

Naturally, chatter began.

“When vacation is over, let’s go somewhere to play, Gongja! The beach is good, or I think it would be nice to go to the valley!”

Anna led the chatter, and Ginny moderately agreed with the chatter.

Arthur watched the two of them quietly and occasionally asked questions.

“It’s not bad to go out, but shouldn’t we stop by the house?”

“Ah, of course you should stop by! Or, you can go with the head of household and Irene-nim!”

The passers-by who were spying on him gritted their teeth.

‘… They said they were playing with each other.’

‘The handsome and pretty guys are very salty!”

‘A dirty and despicable world!’

Considering that it is Central Park where families come, Arthur’s party was definitely a strange composition.

Two women and one man?

But are they all handsome?

Even if there was just one person, I couldn’t help but give them attention, but there were three people like that, so I couldn’t help but pay attention to them.

And Arthur, who noticed that gaze, whispered to Ginny next to him.

“Genie. They are looking at us over there, are they pirates or members of the Seven Emperors?”

Surprised, Ginny looked away.

“… … .”

As Arthur said, there were eyes watching this side.

However, it was very far from what Arthur said.

‘I think he’s just looking at me because he’s envious?’

The reason I felt that way was because of the men’s eyes peeking at my legs.

I’ve been staring at her a lot since I was young, so it wasn’t surprising or new to me.

‘… Come to think of it, this person with me has never shown anything like that before?’

When I thought about this, my self-esteem suddenly hurt.

I’ve never thought of my appearance being inferior anywhere, so why doesn’t Arthur Bayern show any interest?

As I was thinking about this, I heard Arthur’s low laugh.

“hmm… Seeing you keep looking at me, there must be something.”

“… ?”

“I need to catch him and interrogate him. I have Anna, but I don’t want to get involved in it.”

Ginny, startled by these words, shouted.

“It’s not like that, Confucius!”

“Isn’t it like that?”

“yes! So please don’t get into trouble!’

Arthur narrowed his eyes, and Anna, who was chewing on a sandwich, tilted her head.

“Are you buying? Did our Confucius have an accident?”

Ginny, who calmed down at the reaction of the two, raised her finger.

“It’s not like that, so don’t get into trouble anyway. You know?”

“… Well, it won’t move, so why are you so sure?”

“I’m looking at you because I’m pretty.”

“… ?”

Arthur opened his mouth.

Anna, who was next to her, also muttered with her mouth open.

“Oh my God… I was a bit unlucky with that.”

Ginny put on an embarrassing expression, but immediately shook her head.

Arthur Bayern would have had an accident if he hadn’t given a good reason.

‘Absolutely not!’

A long outing.

I didn’t want the outing to be interrupted like that.

* * *

After a short break, Arthur returned home and thought.

‘It’s the midterm exam, so let’s finish that first… .’

After that, it was vacation, so I was thinking of going hunting in earnest according to that time.

‘I have to kill them one by one, without leaving a trace.’

Returning to the capital just in time, the timing was very good.

There were quite a few enemies residing in Arcane, but it was nothing compared to the capital.

‘Assuming you kill one person per day… oh my god. How many people can I kill?’

If everything went according to my plan, I could kill most of my enemies except for Kane and Kahn Madrid.

‘Of course it won’t be easy… Do you think it’s possible now?’

It was of great significance that he reached the level where he could express his sword skills.

After sorting out the situation, Arthur headed to Arcane University.

buzz buzz.

I don’t know if it was exam period, but countless students on the street were reading books with their heads down.

Watching the spectacle, Arthur entered the royal studies class where the first test was to be held today.

“… … .”

The scenery of the classroom where silence descends is unfamiliar.

Arthur cautiously walked over to an empty seat and sat down.

‘Oh… .’

Even the group that always chatted before class was reading a book with their heads covered today.

Arthur, who was watching the scene, murmured.

‘hmm… Should I do the same?’

To be honest, I was ready for the test.

Another ability engraved in Bavaria’s blood.

Thanks to the abnormal memory that can never forget what you saw once, you finished preparing for the test early.

‘But if you don’t do it again when everyone else is doing it, you’ll stand out. Let’s open the textbook.’

It was when Arthur, having made up his mind, opened his bag and placed a few textbooks on the desk.

The classroom door opened and a man entered.

“… aaagh!”

Out of nowhere, the classroom, which had been silent, was startled.

“Who, who is it?”

“Some crazy guy suddenly started raining… .”

“… Prince Leon Madrid?”

It was Leon who screamed.

He breathed heavily in the middle of the classroom, with red bloodshot eyes and a shaggy beard and hair.

“Whoa whoops!”

Taking one bizarre deep breath like that, he sat down next to Arthur.

Arthur narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Prince, are you finally crazy?”

“who? I?”

“yes. You.”

Leon answered with a quick turn of his head.

“hmm… Well, it’s just crazy.”

“… ?”

“I stayed up all night for the midterm today. A normal person should collapse within three days, but I lasted a week.”

Arthur was amazed.

“okay. You’ve finally gone crazy.”

“Whoops… By the way, Arthur Bayern.”

“yes?”

“What kind of accident have you been running around?”

Arthur smiled at Leon’s question.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. Because of you, the back alley is completely destroyed now.”

“hmm… Did you even get smashed?”

“Almost like that. Let’s talk about it later. The professor has arrived.”

Arthur turned his head.

The royal studies professor who came in sometime was holding up the exam papers.

“You don’t need to talk long, right?”

“… … .”

“The test begins right away. Cheating is an immediate expulsion, and students who have finished the exam may leave first.”

After a brief explanation, the professor handed the test paper he was holding to his assistant.

“… … .”

The students who watched the scene in silence swallowed dry saliva.

‘… aaagh!”

‘Even if you don’t know A, only F! All it takes is an F!’

‘Let’s avoid repeating the class, please!’

Arthur also accepted the test paper in the silence of the desperate wind.

‘Hmm… .’

After stroking his chin for a moment, Arthur picked up the pen.

‘Is the difficulty easier than I thought?’

A book of about 1,000 pages was the scope of this test, and the questions written on the test paper were not significantly out of that scope.

‘Even if there are deviations, it’s just a slightly different point of view… That’s pretty easy.’

Arthur, smiling brightly, solved the problem without hesitation.

On the other hand, the students who received the test papers covered their heads with the expression of chewing sh*t.

‘This crazy!!!’

‘To list the names of 20 members of the royal family in order?’

‘Do I have to write down their achievements as well?’

‘How can this be a problem!’

The sighs bursting out here and there.

In that situation, Leon muttered in a blank voice.

‘… I don’t know a thing.’

When only the sound of the creaking pen could be heard, the professor of royal studies opened his eyes.

“… Arthur Bavarian student?”

“yes.”

“Have you already finished your exam?”

Arthur answered the professor’s question with a smile.

“yes. All done.”

The royal studies professor’s gaze narrowed, but he soon silently accepted Arthur’s test paper.

“Good job, you can go out the back door.”

“Yes Professor.”

After answering, Arthur left the classroom.

The students who had been peeking at his back muttered in surprise.

‘Have you already solved everything?’

‘… Is that possible?’

‘Isn’t it a blank paper?’

Then another person got up from his seat.

The eyes of the students who were taking the test naturally turned to someone.

In the meantime, the royal studies professor asked a question in a timid voice.

“… A Leon Madrid student?”

“Yes Professor.”

“Half of it is blank, are you really going to pay it like this?”

Leon replied with a grin.

“yes. That’s my best.”

“… … .”

“See you next semester, Professor.”

When Leon left the classroom after the exam, Arthur muttered as he recalled the last exam for today.

‘hmm… Come to think of it, today’s swordsmanship class also has a test.’

With these words, Arthur remembered Elin.

‘… Is it a rematch after 3 years? It must be fun.’

The corner of Arthur’s mouth went up.

‘Well, the win or loss won’t change, but.’
