56 – Scene 056# Entering University (Illustration added)

*

I hunched my chin and closed my eyes.

The faint shaking of the wagon feels good.

I was a little lazy reading books on magic tricks until late every day.

Even though he used ‘Greed’ and ‘Patience’ almost to the limit, there was no way to do anything about mental fatigue.

So, in the short time of moving like this, I had to close my eyes.

But… . Today it seemed a bit difficult.

“I-over there Count… .”

“…What?”

When I open my eyes, I see Wendy in school uniform sitting across from me.

His big eyes blinked and he was looking this way.

“not… Is it strange… ?”

“yes.”

The clothes Wendy is wearing are custom-made school uniforms from Luelcia, a luxury brand.

A plaid skirt and blazer made of fine materials made her look like a high-class student.

No one would think she was my servant.

However, there was something I wanted to point out.

“Wendy.”

“Yes?”

“You are asking me for the third time now.”

Today is the day of the entrance ceremony of Meikahel University.

Wearing a school uniform for the first time in her life, Wendy was quite excited.

To the point where he persistently asked me about my impressions even before leaving the mansion.

But by the third time, I was a bit tired.

“Your clothes are never weird, so don’t bother me anymore.”

If you said this enough, you would understand. I thought so.

“Sir, I don’t like it… .”

“… ?”

I looked up and looked at Wendy.

As if he had made up his mind to make an important declaration, his very serious eyes were looking straight at me.

“I am the count’s exclusive maid. So I think it’s my duty to get closer to the shape and appearance of Bae, Count. !”

I was a little surprised.

To think that Wendy would make such a courageous statement to Tristan… .

Maybe I was underestimating the character Wendy a little bit.

said Wendy, placing her hand on her small chest.

“I will definitely do my best to become what the Count wants. So please tell me Do you like the way I look now… ?”

Certainly, Wendy has grown according to my intention.

She was a hard worker.

And now she wants me to confirm the results of her efforts.

I judged that as her owner, I had an obligation to answer.

I was very sleepy, but I opened my mouth.

“Do you like it or not? It’s a question you ask me.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t keep a guy around who isn’t even on my mind.”

“Yeah, yeet?!”

Wendy was startled and covered her mouth with her hand.

“Th-those words are pears, the count said, do me, do me, in my heart… !?”

“From the beginning, I cared about you.”

“… hehehe!?”

I couldn’t help but care about Wendy.

To Tristan, Wendy is a walking death flag.

Her death is my death.

That’s why I trained Wendy.

World-class characters such as Myoheil and Blanche helped her become her mentor.

And Wendy grew up quickly as if she lived up to my expectations.

Now, the chances of her being caught up in a sudden incident and dying would have been reduced.

Needless to say, my mind became more comfortable.

“You must be too sudden… . Crab, besides me, I’m just a servant… . Poetry, there is such a thing as a difference in status, right? .”

“I don’t care about that.”

“… !”

Wendy covered her face with both hands as if the sunlight was blinding her eyes.

I said, holding back a yawn.

“You just stay by my side as you are now.”

I said, thinking of the future Wendy that Michaela had shown me before.

“In 10 years, you will have grown into a better figure than anyone else.”

“… … yes.”

Wendy lowered her head and answered in a voice the size of a mosquito.

“10 years… . I see… . I’m young now and lack a lot, but… . I… . Until then, I’ll work hard and wait for the Count… .”

“yes. Be diligent.”

It’s a little quieter now.

Wendy hung her head and said nothing.

Thanks to that, I was able to keep my eyes open until the carriage stopped.

Of course, it was very brief.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wendy rose from her seat like a bullet.

“Bur, it looks like we’ve already arrived!”

Wendy hurriedly got off first.

I followed her and got down as if I had just woken up.

The bright sunlight of Meikahel University’s campus was in front of us.

It was the day of the entrance ceremony, so there were so many people that it was incomparable to last time.

And among them there were those who recognized me.

“No, someone said, isn’t it the head of Ruelberta?”

A middle-aged man approached me with a surprised face.

I glanced at his character profile before replying.

“Long time no see. Earl of Burgess.”

“You remember me! ha ha ha I never expected to see Count Tristan here.”

Earl Burgess, one of the nobles friendly to Ruelberta, laughed loudly.

Then Burgess’ gaze caught Wendy next to me.

“ah… ? Who is the lady next to you?”

“She is my exclusive maid.”

“You mean this young? No, even the school uniform… . Are you going to enter this school?”

“Yes, yes… .”

Wendy hesitated in reply.

Burgess exaggerated admiration.

“As expected, the Count is amazing! Even the servants get into the best schools in the country! After all, he is the servant of the Ruelberta family!”

“Well.”

Burgess is a noble who actively cooperates with the Ruelberta family.

He wasn’t meant to be an enemy, but I didn’t like him very much.

because… .

“Of course, all of this is due to the Count’s excellence. Hey, I’m lucky to be meeting the Count for the first time at school today.”

The flattery is too harsh a man.

A third-rate flatterer who can be found in any genre.

That was Burgess.

“By the way, my son was last in the school this year. I think the count’s servant is much better than my ugly son. Isn’t it?”

Shall I just ignore it and walk away?

While I was muttering that in my heart, another person appeared in front of us.

“Hey.”

When I turned my head, there was a beautiful lady in a fur coat.

The fierce eyes that couldn’t be covered by heavy makeup were looking at me.

I muttered the character’s name.

“… Professor Ariel.”

“no?! Count Tristan remembers those extras… ! It is an honor that is too undeserved for such a woman.”

Burgess, please shut up… .

I grabbed my throbbing temple.

Naturally, Ariel was furious.

“Burgess. Did you finish your words just now?!”

“ah? Someone said, isn’t this Ariel? How much is this?”

“Are you pretending not to know? I heard you! waist? extra? It’s a pierced mouth… !”

“Ah, did you hear? Your ears are bright too. But your understanding is lacking. If Tristan-nim is the main character, isn’t it natural that I’m a supporting character and you are an extra?”

“phew… . That’s Okay. Talking to you, Burgess, only hurts my mouth.”

Ariel turned her head and glared at me.

“huh. Count Tristan, you still look bad. Fat with those arrogant eyes… … I’m not… Yo?”

My body, which had passed the death knell, had lost more weight than before.

Ariel’s eyes narrowed while looking at my body, and she cleared her throat.

“Hey, hey! Can I look at people like that just because I lost some weight?”

“These are my original eyes.”

“Noisy! What I want to ask is why are you here?”

Ariel Richet.

She is the Marquis’s wife and one of the outstanding professors at this school.

And there was a reason why she showed such blatant hatred toward me.

“This school may be run with your family’s money, Tristan, but it’s definitely a school built by the imperial family. If there is no reason, please leave immediately.”

Ariel is one of the aristocrats who are pro-imperial.

In addition, she is a woman who takes care of herself so thoroughly that she owes no debt to Tristan.

In the original story, Tristan was an obstacle to him to the extent that he attempted to assassinate her several times.

“There is a reason I came here.”

“under! what is that? what? Count, did you have a sister?”

Ariel finally found Wendy next to me.

“I-I’m not the Count’s younger sister, I’m the exclusive maid. I came here with the Count for today’s entrance ceremony… .”

“Hoo?”

Ariel looked at me in surprise at Wendy’s words.

“huh. You have a pretty capable kid around you.”

“Now you know? The greatness of the Ruelberta family, where even the servants have outstanding talents.”

“Burgess… . You figure out the subject. There is only one person in this country to whom you owe allegiance.”

“Uh ha ha ha. you’re right. I only have one.”

Burgess, who had been laughing out loud, stood proudly next to me and smirked.

Ariel clicked her tongue.

“It’s like this rude thing. Even if you look at Your Majesty lightly, it’s an oil fountain… .”

Ariel frowned and immediately glared at me with a venomous gaze.

“Tristan, I will never see you leave this school with your family on your back. I’m going to skip today for the entrance ceremony, but don’t show up at this school again!”

With those words at the end, Ariel proudly stepped on her high heels.

Burgess, who was watching her bewitching back, whispered in my ear.

“As expected, Tristan. It’s respectful that you don’t mind even after being scolded by that sorceress.”

Oh please turn it off… .
