Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

38 – #38. Fourth Princess Rosaria (4)

Ariel Academy’s magic library.

It was a space so mysterious that it left me spellbound.

It was so vast that it seemed as if an echo would reverberate if you shouted.

On all sides of the wall, countless books were visible on bookshelves from floor to ceiling.

In the middle, on the walls, there are stone statues that appear to be modeled after the gods believed in by the human race.

Probably the goddess Hea.

There is a common rumor.

There is a popular belief that when darkness comes from this world, the goddess Hea takes over saints and warriors from the human race to save the world.

‘It’s actually true….’

The human race believes it to be a myth, but I knew that the story about the saint and the warrior was true because I had experienced possession through a previous game.

So, we also clearly know the risks that will arise in the future.

Demon lord.

According to popular belief, the darkness coming from this world means the descent of the devil.

I understand that the seal of Baal, which was established 10,000 years ago, is becoming weaker over time.

It will occur within the next five years or so that the seal will be completely broken and the Demon King will be released again into this world.

So I had to be prepared for every situation.

Powerless to protect oneself.

A defense against unknown forces.

After blocking everything, we even researched why we became possessed in this world and whether we can return to the current world.

Currently, the military power to defend oneself is being steadily cultivated to some extent.

So, we had to build defenses against unknown forces.

I climbed up the ladder and took out some books from a high bookshelf.

The books taken out were about the theoretical relationship between magical power.

‘Direct theories about black magic are prohibited, so we must first research and approach something similar.’

I borrowed a few books from the magic library and then went straight outside.

The day is over, so let’s settle the rest in the dormitory.

It was just as I was heading out.

I made eye contact with someone passing by.

“… ….”

“… ….”

We stood still for a while, facing each other.

It was princess Rosaria.

When I first lowered my head and tried to pass by, she blocked me.

“What are you doing?”

“Mr. Xian. “Let’s talk.”

“If it is related to an escort driver, I will politely decline.”

“Don’t do that.”

“… Ha.”

Is this happening again?

Now I was so sick of it that I felt uncomfortable.

I even thought that if things continued like this any longer, I might start to dislike Princess Rosaria.

“Princess.”

I spoke to her with her serious eyes.

“Yes.”

“I also have something to talk about. “Let’s go together to a place where there are less people watching.”

“Good.”

I headed to the backyard.

When we went to rescue Hedy, we went to the site where she trained a group of bullies.

It was the most comfortable place because there were no eyes to see.

Someone might see me as someone taking me to a dark place, but the princess followed me without a word, as if she believed me.

After arriving, I spoke to the princess.

“Princess. “Honestly, I’m a little annoyed now.”

“You’re annoying?”

“Yes. “Up until now, I have politely refused to honor my status as a princess, but I think it will be difficult for me if this continues any longer.”

“There is no need to be difficult. Mr. Sian, you are my lifesaver who saved me twice, so feel free….”

“No. “That’s not the problem.”

I sighed and stayed silent for a moment to gather my thoughts.

This silence was also a conversation skill.

A skill that allows the other person to become more immersed in what you are saying by taking a short pause.

I then spoke to the princess with serious eyes.

“Are you aware that there are rumors going around about me and the princess recently?”

“It’s a rumor… ?”

“You didn’t know.”

As expected, everyone is careful about what they say in front of the princess.

Once again, I had no idea that the act of hiding my identity to hide my identity would affect me in this way.

“There is a rumor going around among female students that the princess is following me around, and among male students there is a rumor going around that I am following the princess around.”

“… ! It’s wrong to say that Mr. Xian is following me around….”

“My friend is also suffering because of this rumor. You may have seen it in a hospital room before. “She resembles a cat with her purple hair.”

“… Ah.”

She must have been shocked and hesitated for a moment, leaving her mouth open.

My eyes were shaking and I didn’t know what to do.

Could it be that I didn’t anticipate that it was causing harm to me?

Until now, there were probably many things that had been conveniently hidden because of her status, but now she had to know.

If this situation continues, Hedy and I will continue to suffer damage, and the princess’s reputation will also go down.

“… So, from now on, I don’t want you to follow me around to become my escort.”

“… ….”

This time she was silent at my words.

Are they really giving up now?

If more attention is drawn to me, it will become uncomfortable for me to hide my identity and graduate quietly.

If I say this, she will understand by now.

It was time to think.

“Woe, princess… ?!”

“… ….”

She bowed her head to me.

From noble mtl dot com

Place both hands neatly around her belly button and bow at 90 degrees.

To her embarrassment, I stopped her and said,

“You don’t have to do this… ! Stay safe….”

“… It is not enough to bow your head a thousand times for harming your lifelong benefactor without being able to help him. “What does body pain mean?”

“… ….”

She bowed her head to me and continued to speak.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, Sian…. I have nothing to say. I didn’t think enough of it to think that Sian’s friend was also affected. I made things like this because of my greed, so I will solve this problem somehow. “If necessary, use your identity.”

“It’s okay. If you don’t make any more suggestions….”

“Nevertheless, shamelessly, I really want Mr. Xian to be my escort.”

“… ….”

For a moment, she closed her mouth.

I asked you to be my escort even in this situation.

What on earth is the reason?

What is it about her that makes her so desperate?

What did I say….

“There must be a lot more talented people than me in the royal family….”

“There are a lot. However, I really hope you become Sian.”

“… “May I ask why?”

Having said this, I couldn’t help but become curious.

She knew her personality because she had experienced it through previous possession games.

She doesn’t bow to anyone.

She is a person who values her own value.

Therefore, in her true story, she even pledges to become an empress to protect her own value amid numerous threats.

She originally had no interest in the Empress, but she met Cain.

What is the reason why she makes me bow my head and shows favor to me by using her status?

She was curious.

“… “There are many prosecutors with better skills than Mr. Sian, but there are no people with clear beliefs like Mr. Sian.”

“The princess may have seen it wrong. I’m not that cool of a person. “If my skills had been a little lower when I saved the princess, she could have passed by without noticing me.”

“No.”

She raised her head.

And when I met her, her eyes were full of confidence.

“Even if the skill level was higher than that of Mr. Xian, most people would not have been willing to risk their lives. “Because my right to succeed to the throne is significantly lower than that of my other siblings.”

“… ….”

“You have heard the rumors in the public, right? I am an illegitimate child. Therefore, even if I repay you, I cannot give you the right thing. “Especially those that correspond to the price of life.”

She continued speaking.

“What Sian did because she thought it was natural, she may not have been natural to someone else. Nonetheless, she saved me twice…. “She was in a situation where she wouldn’t have been in danger if she hadn’t moved at that time.”

It was the perfect answer.

She thought it was just something she had to do.

She was like that even when she lived a social life before being possessed.

In a situation where I took on a task that could have been passed on to a gunner under her instead of me.

I did most of the work myself because I knew that only by doing it could the company’s accurate performance be seen.

Because I thought that was the right thing to do.

If I had left it to the gunner, I would have felt better, but the reputation of the entire team would have been tarnished.

This is something most people will not do.

But nevertheless, I had no choice but to do it.

… Rosaria’s words were words that penetrated my true nature, which I had hidden until now because I was unfamiliar with it.

“Also, I was even more impressed by the fact that during Sian’s tournament, which was her proving ground, she did not make fun of contestants with lower skills than herself. If she had done so, she would have clearly shown the difference in her skills and would have been noticed by high-ranking nobles.”

“… ….”

I just did it because I didn’t want to stand out.

If I had done as Rosaria said, Hedy would have kicked me to death later.

“Therefore, no matter how hard Mr. Sian tries to deny it, I cannot deny the beliefs I saw in Mr. Sian. “I need someone like Sian.”

“… “What does the princess want to gain from me as a guard?”

Rosaria fell silent for a moment at my words, but then she spoke.

“I will become an empress.”

“…… !”

As soon as I heard Rosaria’s answer, I immediately looked around.

It was a dangerous statement.

It was a shame because no one was there. If anyone heard it, it would have put their lives at great risk.

“I came here because I saw that there was no one around, so it’s okay not to worry.”

“You said that because you’ve been watching me for so long… !”

Why did I say this without hesitation if a rumor were to spread?

“I told you. “I don’t think Sian I saw will tell you.”

“… Phew.”

“Please be my escort, Mr. Sian. I need an upright person like Sian by my side. I realized what happened before. Power must be used correctly. “When I become empress, I hope to create a world where people no longer waste their power to criticize each other.”

“… ….”

“I am so weak right now. I don’t have the power to protect those around me, nor do I have the power to trust me and invest in me. Recently, I found out that my brother was trying to harm me. So, Sian, please become my first person, protect me, and grow together. “If I become Empress, I will give you what you want, Xian.”

Has he already found out that the 3rd Prince Gerard is trying to harm him?

I also became embarrassed when my true feelings were revealed to me like this.

“… “Please give me a week to think about it.”

“I understand. “Then I won’t follow you around anymore until then.”

With that, Rosalia bowed her head to me once again and disappeared.

I also had very complicated feelings.

I wanted to study whether I could quietly build up my strength, graduate, and return to my original world after being guaranteed safety in this world.

If she becomes her escort, she will not be able to guarantee her safety.

“Ha.”

I sighed and thought about going back to the dormitory.

There’s a lot I need to find out, and the conversation we just had made me very tired because I had a lot to think about.

… Since we have a week, let’s think slowly.

*

Four days have passed.

As she said, Rosaria no longer followed me around.

“The princess isn’t looking for you anymore? “Did the princess kick it too?”

“… “If you say any more, I will overturn your plate.”

He threatened Lloyd, who was having lunch with him.

Her four days at the academy were comfortable.

I ate the spiritual tablets I brought from my home and practiced the applied swordsmanship that Laura taught me.

I wake up early in the morning, eat breakfast, then go to the training center and do strength training.

Afterwards, she took a swordsmanship class and often met with Lloyd, Bobby, and Louis at lunchtime.

Hedy asked me to spar with him, so we met separately at the training hall in the evening and crossed swords together.

The days were smooth.

Until I heard the news that Rosaria had been kidnapped the next day.
