The Status Window Disappeared

The most common job in the academy (7)

Early on, Chris and the dean planned to kidnap suspects during a party and put them under magical interrogation.

However, it is impossible for a country’s king to do such a thing while watching.

I didn’t intend to do it openly from the beginning, but now I have to move much more carefully.

As the king, dressed in splendor, approached the party, everyone bowed politely to the point of being a little ridiculous.

The king, who had a somewhat drawn-out impression, gave them a few words of kindness and went upstairs with the dean.

Originally, the second floor, where quite a few people gathered, became a place exclusively for the king.

With his second daughter in front of him for the first time in a while, he smiles lightly and asks how he is doing.

“Rosefelt! my daughter How have you been? Wasn’t there anything too difficult?”

“Princess is doing well. I am very happy to see His Majesty’s John on this auspicious day.”

The dean, who had a languid expression, replied in a twisted voice instead.

‘My kids are having a good time, so why do you come and ruin the party… … ‘ It seemed to mean something.

The king raised one eyebrow at the dean’s scolding and said.

“sister. Didn’t my sister readily lend me the Royal Knights without asking or questioning? But is it not okay to visit your daughter to see her face?”

Chris, who had been occupying a corner on the second floor, listened to him and clicked his tongue inwardly.

I heard that the dean was preparing someone else, but I thought it was the Royal Knights.

For a simple search and seizure, the Royal Knights are a bit excessive.

They must have been their own countermeasure against Elgar and Chris.

The dean responded coldly to the king’s barbed words.

“Yes, Your Majesty lent me the Royal Knights. But why did you visit this place on the day you decided to join the Knights?”

“I should visit anyway, wouldn’t it be better to do it while the Royal Knights are on a business trip? If we don’t visit today, the knights will have to move twice… … .”

It seems that he acted with the people below him in his own way, but Chris and the dean were thrilled.

It seems that the King thought of the use of the Royal Knights as a simple security operation.

‘This kind of person is a relative of Rosefeld and the dean.’

While Chris chewed his tongue and held back his words, Rosefeld, who had been silent, stepped out as if to dissuade the dean.

“The girl is also very happy to see His Majesty after a long time. Life at the academy is very enjoyable, and there are no difficulties because everyone, including the dean, is very helpful.”

“That is very fortunate. Anyway, it’s really unfortunate. This academy had, after all, the second High Sword.”

The king noticed Chris in a corner and spat out with a puzzled expression.

It seems that he didn’t even know that Rosefeld’s fiancee, whom he had designated, was here.

When Chris politely sent his greetings, Rosefeld smiled and said to the king.

“The girl was also very surprised at first. But now I understand Your Majesty’s deepest intentions.”

“so? Are you going to keep making that pointless bet? If you understand what I mean, it’s time to quit.”

I don’t know anything else, but one word skill was quite seasoned.

Rosefeld spat it out with the meaning of mocking the king, but he skillfully ignored it and even counterattacked.

In the eyes of the king who speaks with his chin resting, Chris’ figure is not reflected.

Chris felt like he was some kind of invisible man.

Before Rosefeld, who was stumped by the king’s words, could say anything, he landed an additional blow.

“This time, a good marriage conversation came in from abroad. Originally, it’s a bit daunting for you, but after graduating from here, you’ll be well-qualified. Seid is a place that is recognized even abroad.”

“Your Majesty, you have already made a promise to the girl. But do you intend to break it with Your Majesty’s mouth?”

Rosefeld was astonished at the unexpected wedding talk.

The dean, who was standing next to the king, also looked dumbfounded.

However, the king continued the story as if her intentions did not matter.

“This wedding talk is so attractive that I can’t possibly refuse it. If you go there, you will be able to enjoy a much more luxurious life than you do now.”

“Ah, anyway, it’s too much to say so suddenly.”

Rosefeld trembled as if he had been stabbed by a knife by someone he trusted.

He probably didn’t know that a man with the name of a king and a father would break his promise to himself so easily.

The king lowered his eyes slightly and said.

“If you go there, we will have strong allies. The soldiers who were driven to the battlefield will return to their homes, and the children who were hungry will be able to eat their fill. Are you saying you’re going to throw away such an opportunity right now?”

Tears seemed to flow from Rosefeld’s eyes as he stood in front of the king.

The dean, who was worse off, spat out a growl at his younger brother.

“Your Majesty, it is ugly.”

It was too unconventional to say to the king, but no one in this room. Even the king himself and the knights who escorted him couldn’t blame it.

Perhaps it is impossible to deny her words.

He tried to ignore his sister and looked down at Rosefeld in front of him.

Rosefeld was almost crying now.

“My, the reason I studied while sleeping at night for the past year was not to be sold to another country. Why is Your Majesty treating me so harshly?”

“Why is finding a good marriage destination so harsh? Nothing special will happen until you graduate from the academy, so in the meantime, just avoid failing.”

Of course, finding a good place to marry is not a big deal.

However, the king took advantage of Rosefeld’s efforts and struck him in the back.

So there was no way Rosefeld could accept his actions.

Rosefeld, who had almost lost his mind by now, asked with a ghostly face.

“Oh, is that so? The girl is simply admiring His Majesty’s grace. So, how old is the partner of this marriage talk? Are you a man older than your father like last time?”

“No way. The prince who is the marriage partner this time is 7 years old this year. If you’re good at it, you’ll be able to act like a puppet.”

“… … .”

Then, the reason why Rosefeld was allowed to graduate was to buy time for the prince to grow up enough.

As she stood blankly laughing, the king rebuked her for being like that.

“What on earth do you not like? Born as a child of a royal family, he is a master who has lived sucking the blood of the people. Even if you say no now, it’s too late. you and me too Choosing a lifelong mate is an absurd luxury.”

When the king spoke self-deprecatingly, Rosefeld couldn’t even reply.

In fact, his words could be taken for granted in an aristocratic society.

Although they are in a position to decide the fate of countless people, it is the aristocracy that cannot decide their own destiny because of the yoke of their family.

Rosefeld said now almost in a swarm.

“I, I will graduate from the Seidran Royal School at the top of my class and follow in the footsteps of the dean.”

“Are you so envious of growing old alone without a worthy spouse? Don’t get upset over something you can’t help. It’s okay to start preparing for the new dean of Seidran in the next generation.”

Listening to the story, it seems that the dean was not completely free from the blood of the royal family.

At that point, as if to end the story, the King throws his eyes at Chris, whom he had been ignoring, and speaks patronizingly.

“Guwa-in proceeded with the marriage discussion at will, and then destroyed the marriage discussion at will. I will arrange a good match for you, so don’t worry too much.”

“… Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration.”

Chris, who had been friendly with Rosefeld, wanted to hit the king’s head right away, but he resisted the urge when he saw the escorts lined up behind him.

However, the moment he saw tears welling up in Rosefeld’s eyes.

Chris lost control for a moment.

A commoner to the core, he had to add a few words.

“But you don’t have to go that far. I can find my matchmaker.”

“hmm?”

It is like a head-on refutation of the words the king of a country has spoken so far.

The eyebrows of not only the King, but also Rosefeld, the dean, and the other escorts jumped up in amazement.

However, Chris decided to believe in the name of High Sword.

In a feudal society like this world, even a king is not a person with absolute power.

Although the kingdom of Seidran is a powerful country, it can be overthrown in an instant if the lords under it rebel.

So, like High Sword, the great lord who gives unchanging loyalty is very grateful to the king.

Even if Chris spits out absurd remarks here and now, the chances of his head being blown are extremely low.

The long-awaited operation is canceled because of the king’s visit, and Rosefeldt is crying.

Chris made no secret of his twisted judgment.

“I am very grateful that Your Majesty has personally arranged for me a matchmaker, but how can I believe that? Hasn’t His Majesty already broken his promise to his daughter? So it’s far better for me to find out myself without bothering you.”

“… … .”

A cold steely silence took over the second floor.

The sound of music coming from downstairs could not be felt so far away.

The king, who had been frozen for a while, apologized to Chris with a laugh as if he was laughing.

“I’m so sorry about that. Anyway, I can’t trust a king who breaks his covenant with his daughter for the sake of the country.”

“Your dedication to handing over your daughter for the sake of the country is admirable. I am afraid that the people will not recognize Your Majesty’s sincerity. By marrying the royal family, you will gain alliances and the people will be fed, while the surrounding countries will surely tremble in fear of you.”

As things had progressed to this point, Rosefeldt was beyond shocked and began to show signs of concern.

The King slowly erases the smile from his face and glares at Chris.

“Then is it right for Rosefeld to marry you?”

“I did not dare to say such a thing. However, I want you to know that His Majesty has dishonored the name of the royal family called Seid.”

“Listen quietly, talking too much! Hello!”

The king accepted the longsword from the guard standing next to him.

Chris laughs at his awkward grip and posture inwardly and waits for an unholy command.

“Where on earth did Guain dishonor the name of the royal family?”

“The kingdom of Seidran was not established on this land from the beginning. His Majesty’s ancestor and first king, Hasis Seidran, was originally born as the son of a miller.”

Of course, not all kings were precious from birth.

The king made a sour expression as if he had guessed Chris’ intentions.

“What do you mean by that?”

“The first king spared no effort to carve out his destiny. But now, His Majesty is even laughing at your daughter’s efforts. This could be said to deny the royal roots of Sayd. Hopefully, Your Majesty will stop humiliating yourself.”

What started out as sarcasm soon turned into an appeal.

When Chris said this, the king showed boldness even to save face.

He closes his eyes tightly, sighs, and then recovers his political smile with difficulty.

“The little ones already have a spicy tongue. Indeed, it is the lineage of High Sword. Your heartfelt advice cannot be ignored. I will reconsider Rosefeld’s wedding talk.”

“I am embarrassed.”

Chris, noticing the sediment remaining in his eyes, replied calmly.

This man, on the surface, says he’s okay, but plans to retaliate later.

Such narrow-minded human nature cannot be changed with a few words.

However, Rosefeld, who did not know such a thing, was very moved by his words.

Chris decided to put her delusion aside for a while.
