100 – Scene 100# Marriage proposal

*

“count. Are you really okay?”

“yes.”

In the afternoon, I toured the school with Bella and returned to the office.

Most of the professors and students were taken aback by the sudden visit of the chairman.

Still, people’s eyes were much softer, whether it was because I was with Bella or because my appearance had changed.

As I sat and calmly looked over my student records, Bella spoke up.

“Something is dark on my face… . Shouldn’t we go back to the infirmary?”

“… no problem.”

With the aftermath of ‘patience’ and ‘jealousy’, I fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed in the infirmary.

Actually, that was the limit of physical strength.

I lost consciousness like an electronic device with a dead battery.

I guess I slept for about an hour.

When I woke up, Wendy was sleeping soundly in my arms.

How would you feel if you were raising a daughter?

It’s a secret that he’s sleeping soundly like a child, so he smiles as if he’s become a daughter fool.

It seemed that Wendy was just as tired as I was.

You said you’ve been up all night studying for exams these days.

It was very commendable to see him working hard to show me good results.

It’s because she’s clumsy and lacks confidence in everything, but Wendy is basically a sincere child. How can I not cheer for a girl who always works hard and only looks at me.

I quietly covered her with a blanket so she wouldn’t wake up and left the infirmary.

However, there was one thing that bothered me.

Wendy’s wish I heard in my sleep.

‘If I’m not mistaken, she must be… … .’

“What are you thinking?”

I slowly raised my head at the sudden voice.

For some reason, Bella was sitting on top of my desk, looking at me.

Bella changed into a uniform and wore a casual skirt and blouse.

After that, he was dressed up differently than usual to see if he had an appointment with anyone.

I put down the student record book I was holding and said.

“I pondered for a while about students worthy of a special scholarship.”

“A special scholarship?”

“yes.”

The reason I visited the school today and the reason I took office as the school’s president.

I went around several classes and checked the unnamed students with my own eyes.

I already knew information about them through the documents. I just wanted to check it myself one last time.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Do any of them have the potential to grow?

“I plan to give scholarships to about 30 people. I guess you can count on them.”

“Look… … . Hmmm. Looking at the roster, do you see a lot of new students? I can see the students who were in my class earlier.”

I nodded.

In the original work, they were students who had to disappear without even being mentioned.

It is not yet known if they will be able to play an active role in the future. However, even if you become at least as good as a supporting actor as an extra, it will be of great benefit in the future.

Bella, who was going through the papers, tilted her head.

“But isn’t it too easy to decide on scholarship students? It’s a bit hard to put expectations on these students just by seeing the student record book and class once… . Rather, aren’t these the students who show potential?”

What Bella pointed to was a document containing the personal information of the named students.

It is true that the named character had better grades, so she had a point.

But I shook my head.

“This scholarship is an opportunity I give to students who might be able to blossom their talents. If you’re going to enter this school, you’re sure to be talented students. Those who have already blossomed their talents will do well on their own.”

I touched my chin.

“I am rather looking forward to what kind of flowers will grow from students who have not yet blossomed their talents.”

“Huh… . Who was it that threatened to expel students who had no chance?”

“The only students who do not have the potential I mentioned are those who have given up.”

“Yes Yes. That’s right.”

Having said that, Bella paused as she looked through the student records.

“count… . I thought you weren’t as compassionate, but did you have this side too?”

“What do you mean?”

“Students who are given priority for scholarships here. Aren’t these all children with difficult circumstances?”

In the documents Bella showed me, as she said, there was a check in the priority payment box.

Most of them were commoners or fallen nobles.

It must be a family that barely managed to raise the entrance fee by strangling their backs because their children’s talents were a waste.

It was a fact that I already knew from a separate investigation, but I decided to hide the fact.

“I guess so.”

“Are you pretending not to know?”

“I am not pretending not to know. I don’t know.”

“lie.”

Bella looked down at me from her desk with a mocking laugh.

“You know what? That the right eyebrow always trembles when the Count lies.”

I really wanted to, but I didn’t panic.

It seemed like Bella was holding back a laugh.

“That sounds like a lie.”

“that’s right. It’s a lie. huh. I’m afraid I’m not a liar, so I’m not fooling you.”

“I do not lie.”

“Huh… ? really?”

“yes.”

“Then tell me. When did you learn that swordsmanship?”

Bella was looking at me with suspicious eyes.

I decided to tell the truth.

“I just learned by watching what you do.”

“You are lying again.”

“… … .”

It was unfair, but it was an unmistakable fact.

The swordsmanship I showed was a copy and imitation of her movements through ‘jealousy’.

Of course, if I were Bella, I wouldn’t believe it.

“Isakhelyu is not a swordsmanship that can be seen and practiced overnight. You have to wield the sword for a very long time and must learn it by observing the master’s movements for a very long time. But unfortunately, neither I nor my father had disciples. But to say that you wield our family’s swordsmanship must be something like this.”

She spoke in a calm voice.

“Count, you actually had a genius talent for swordsmanship. I don’t know why, but I’ve been hiding that talent until now. If not… … .”

Bella held her breath for a moment.

Then he opened his mouth as if he were taking out the words he had been holding in his heart.

“… You’ve probably been around for a lot longer than I thought… . It could have been watching me from afar. It’s to the point where you can finally imitate my swordsmanship. Is my reasoning correct?”

Her reasoning is half right and half wrong.

I’m not talented in swordsmanship, I just know how to handle my personality, and Bella is the heroine I’ve been watching since the original novel.

Except for my sister, the original author, I was the one who knew the character Bella better than anyone else.

I looked at Bella in silence for a moment.

It was painful to meet her eyes as she begged me to tell her the truth.

Of course he knew the answer Bella wanted. Because I knew… . I couldn’t bear to give that answer.

If I gave that answer, Bella’s future might change as well.

Also, the future of this world could not be guaranteed.

In the end, I opened my mouth heavily.

“sorry but-.”

“Don’t answer me.”

Bella interrupted me.

Sitting at her desk, she bowed her head.

As if he wanted to hide the expression he was making now.

However, her hoarse voice could not be hidden.

“Anyway, you… You’re going to lie again… .”

A heavy silence followed.

I sat in a chair and thought about it, but I couldn’t think of anything that could comfort her.

no. It’s not that it didn’t come to mind, but it must have been because I couldn’t comfort it.

In the end, it was Bella who spoke in silence.

“count. You haven’t forgotten, have you?”

“What do you mean?”

“You promised to grant me a wish if I won in Dalian.”

“wish… You mean?”

“You’re not going to pretend you don’t know, are you?”

Following Wendy, is Bella also a wish?

It feels like being Santa.

“yes. I haven’t forgotten.”

“Will you grant my wish?”

“… Listen and decide.”

“No. Then it doesn’t make any sense.”

“There are also wishes that I cannot grant.”

“Do not worry. I won’t ask for a wish you can’t make. will you listen? my wish.”

Bella was looking down at me with a mischievous smile, probably trying to shake off the gloomy mood from earlier.

But still her eyes were watery.

Tears that seemed to flow and that delicate smile.

More than anything, I couldn’t refuse her request because I was feeling sorry.

I sighed.

“… i get it. I will grant that wish, so tell me.”

“Really? There is no softness!”

“yes.”

I don’t like it, but I can’t help it.

Rather, it would be fortunate if I could comfort her even a little with something like this.

Besides, most of the wishes she could make were things I could grant.

For example, the huge debt that the Isaachel family owed to the Ruelberta family.

It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t exist.

It’s quite a large amount, but it’s meaningless money to me. I didn’t have the ability to repay the debt to Izaqhel now, and I thought it was money I would never get anyway.

Besides… . Now there was no need or reason for me to bind Bella with debt.

“My wish is very simple.”

Suddenly, Bella removed the ring from her hand.

A simple ring that shines in silver. It was a magic item I gave you the other day.

She gave the ring back to me and said.

“to me… . please marry me again count.”
