73 – Scene 073# Lie

*

“Ask me again.”

It was a cold voice.

Shia involuntarily swallowed her breath.

“What were you two doing here?”

Tristan Ruelberta.

The worst aristocrat in the empire, and the chairman of the board, who caused a big stir on the day of the entrance ceremony.

He was looking down at the two of them with his all-seeing eyes.

“I heard an explosion from the direction you guys were running from.”

It was also impossible to hide.

“Is this what you guys did?”

Anyone could see that the two were running as if they were running away from the scene.

No, if it was another professor or student, I don’t know how I could have passed it.

However, this man will not be able to do any tricks.

Seeing his frozen eyes, Shia couldn’t move.

“Are you not going to answer me? Shia Ryumin.”

“… !”

Unexpectedly, what came out of the chairman’s mouth was her name.

Sia hadn’t had a one-sided relationship with Tristan. Ryumin and Ruelberta, the relationship between the two families was never good.

Still, Tristan remembered her.

As if he had marked her as prey.

The hiccups stopped right away.

Sia barely held back her trembling and spoke.

“That’s not it… .”

“Then explain what happened.”

“Oh… .”

how can i explain

The fact that Shia was overcome with jealousy and swung a cane at her classmate.

In addition, the opponent is a tyrant among tyrants who proudly said that the school was his in front of the students.

Sia caused material damage to his school.

She had touched a man she should never have touched.

It was not something that could be undone with the power of the family.

Although Ryumin is one of the 7 prestigious families of the Empire, Chilseong, he was not up to the level of opposing the power of the Ruelberta family.

If this extends to the family domain, it will be a big mistake for Ryumin.

Shia couldn’t bear to open her mouth knowing that fact.

“Yeah… .”

At that time, it was the girl next to Shia who opened her mouth.

“hundred… . Hee-hee?!”

Suddenly the girl startled.

Tristan was glaring at him with terrifying eyes.

The girl who shrank from his gaze spoke in a trembling voice.

“Ugh… . this… . Hey, Chairman… . Hiccup! I-I’ll explain everything… . Hiccup!”

“… First of all, stop the hiccup and tell me. Wendy.”

“Yes, yes! Hiccup! Hee… .”

Only then did Shia remember.

The name that took the chief from her.

‘right… . It was Wendy… .’

The youngest enrolled student since the founding of Meikahel University.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, buried in the bombshell remarks of the chairman, Wendy also used to come up as a regular topic in the freshman community.

In particular, there were many rumors about Wendy’s identity.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, Wendy unusually did not reveal her family name.

For nobles, revealing their family was a kind of consideration.

Especially in a school like this full of nobles, it was easy to deal with each other knowing each other’s status.

Nevertheless, there are two main reasons why Wendy did not reveal her last name.

That she was a commoner without a family name, or that she was in a position where she could not reveal her family name due to circumstances.

Even within the community, the reaction was that the latter was much more persuasive.

The prevailing theory was that she was probably a princess from a distant foreign country rather than an empire.

Even after the entrance ceremony, there were people who saw Wendy and the high-ranking aristocrats taking pictures together.

what… . Anyway, this is most likely a rumor.

Anyway, Sia was also in the latter position.

She was a child prodigy with her outstanding magic talent in middle school and high school.

If you have the skills to beat her like that, it would be natural for you to become a princess of a neighboring country.

But now Sia realized she was wrong.

Sia remembered.

A glimpse of the talent Wendy showed in the morning.

It was so sophisticated magic that even Shia, an excellent wizard, could not touch it.

It was not a level that a princess from a neighboring country could imitate, no matter how talented she was.

It was like the realm of a wise man in a legend.

Wendy’s magic split the sky.

It was literally. Wendy’s appearance, the only one walking in the sunlight in the rain, even looked sacred.

As if God was moved by her talent.

Compared to that… . How shabby was Shia’s magic.

Shia bowed her head in indescribable misery.

From now on, Wendy will report everything Sia has done to the chairman.

My legs were shaking. All I could do was barely stand.

No matter what Wendy said, Sia was willing to admit everything.

It was clear that Shia had done all of this.

If you do something wrong, you must be punished.

However, the words that came out of Wendy’s mouth were completely different from Sia’s expectations.

“It’s my fault!”

“… uh?”

Wendy lowered her head and said in a trembling voice.

“I-I made a mistake while dealing with magic… !”

“… Did you make a mistake?”

“Yes… . My, I’m still immature… . While secretly practicing magic… . that stop… .”

what?

Shia was dumbfounded and looked at Wendy.

Why is this girl covering herself?

Shia’s fault was obvious to anyone.

However, this girl was trying to lie in front of the chairman.

To defend Sia.

“Right… .”

Tristan came closer.

I stood in front of Wendy’s nose and looked down at her.

“Raise your head. Wendy.”

“Sniff… .”

At those words, Wendy raised her head.

“Look into my eyes.”

“ship… . Hey, Chairman… .”

“Look straight ahead.”

“Hey… .”

Tristan was looking closely at Wendy’s face.

If it had been Sia who was in Wendy’s seat, she might have passed out.

Tristan’s intimidation was so strong that even Shia, who was next to her, couldn’t help but cringe.

“Depending on your answer, I may refer you to the disciplinary committee.”

Terrifying eyes asked Wendy.

“Are you really like that? Wendy.”

Wendy was trembling.

Even so, he did not avoid Tristan’s gaze.

And with tears in her eyes, she barely answered.

“… … Yes. black… .”

Wendy told Tristan a lie that anyone would find out.

Was that courage imaginary?

“You’re bad at lying.”

“… … sniff.”

“But don’t take it.”

“… yes?”

Wendy and Sia both looked up at Tristan at the same time.

“I don’t know the whole story. No matter how much I guess, it’s all just my guess. So I will take your word for it.”

And Tristan added.

“I will not turn you over to the disciplinary committee. However, since it caused a commotion, I can’t just let it go… .”

He turned to Sia.

“Xia Ryumin.”

“Yes… ?”

“You dry your clothes and go to class.”

After that, Tristan turned his head away as if he had no interest in Sia any longer.

“And Wendy.”

“Yeah?!”

“You go to my office right after class from today. Do you think you should be punished?”

The moment she heard those words, Shia’s complexion turned blue.

Wendy had been caught by the notorious chairman of the board.

That too on behalf of Sia!

“Yes, yes… .”

Wendy lowered her head helplessly.

In Shia’s eyes, it looked like a pitiful animal being led to a slaughterhouse.

‘no… .’

Wendy, whom Sia is jealous of, will be turned into a plaything for this wicked chairman.

It must have been a refreshing day for Sia.

But she couldn’t.

Because Wendy was being punished in place of Sia.

In exchange for covering Shia’s wrongdoing.

Shia was not a rotten student enough to pretend not to know that.

In addition, Tristan is a man called the genius of evil.

I don’t know what he’s going to do with this poor girl as a slave.

You should never be left alone.

I cannot hand this poor girl over to that man.

With that thought in mind, Shia was shouting at the chairman.

“… Stop!”

*

When I heard the binge drinking at the restaurant, I had a hunch that it had something to do with Wendy.

The reason I always tried to keep Wendy by my side.

It was because of her personality ‘unhappiness’.

+

Personality: Unhappy.

Rank: Out of rank.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Details: Bad luck in life. That personality makes your life a thorny road. If you think why you have such a personality, that’s normal.

+

Because of this personality, Wendy gets caught up in an incident even if she doesn’t intend it.

In a word, this game’s trouble maker. Also, a character that is a death flag for me.

If she gets caught up in an incident and gets hurt, my safety could be in jeopardy.

‘It was good to be the chairman… .’

If anything happens to Wendy at school, it’s easy to deal with.

So it was good that I came in haste… . All in all, there was an outsider. Also a named character.

Xia Ryumin.

She is the daughter of Ryumin, a prestigious family that is in charge of an axis of Chilsung, which is hostile to Ruelberta.

A genius who is unmatched when it comes to handling water, and a wizard who later becomes one of the main characters.

I didn’t know why she was with Wendy.

At first, I wondered if he was involved in an incident, but it seemed like something had happened between the two of them.

Unlike Wendy, who was fine, only Sia’s clothes were soaking wet.

There were a lot of corners that were not clear, but the first thing to do was to sort this situation out.

If even a disciplinary committee is held, things become troublesome.

A problem that can be covered by my line unless someone is hurt.

However, because of the existence of Shia Ryumin, he had to at least pretend to punish him appropriately.

So I decided to solve this case by having Wendy clean the office.

But unexpectedly, Shia stopped me.

“Stop it… ?”

I asked Sia.

It was a pure question.

She has neither the reason nor the power to stop me. That must be something she knows for sure.

Even so, Shia bluffed.

“entire… . It’s all me, what I did!”

Sia stood in the way between me and Wendy.

Only then did I realize

“There is nothing wrong with this child! So… . It must be me who gets punished, not him!”

That she wasn’t just bluffing.

It was a struggle.

It was a desperate attempt to protect Wendy from me.

Sia was glaring at me like she was going to kill me.

Perhaps due to the influence of ‘arrogance’, those cheeky eyes were laughable.

But it didn’t feel bad.

Because she has the same purpose as me.

“Can I take that as saying that you alone will be responsible for this disturbance? Shia Ryumin.”

Shia nodded slowly.

“So you’re saying you’re going to be punished instead of Wendy?”

“Yes… .”

Is it a girl’s friendship?

I smiled in my heart.

Should I say it feels like my daughter brought her first friend from school?

“You say something funny.”

However, to be Wendy’s friend, you need qualifications.

I decided to test Shia’s friendship.

“Let me point out one thing.”

I approached Shia with a stiff expression.

“I have no intention of punishing the daughter of the Ryumin family.”

“… Yes?”

“Ryumin is a family that knows the loyalty of the emperor who devoted all his life to him. Even though I’ve been pretending to be Ruelberta, I live as high as that loyalty. so… .”

I whispered in a voice that could be heard in her ear.

“I mean, I’ll take special care of you. Shia Ryumin.”
