I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

65 – Divorce of the Duke of Chablis (1)

Some time has passed since I returned from the deserted island.

Of course I wasn’t playing.

First, he created a fake identity for Vampire Lord—Amanda.

Me, Benedetta, and Elianne stood up as identity guarantees and made Amanda a member of the kingdom.

No one knows the name of Vampire Lord anyway, so I just registered it as Amanda, my real name.

And he made her lando’s maid so that she could always be with her.

“Good night, young boy. Today is the day the midterm exam results come out,”

“Ah, I see…” .”

Today, when I woke up this morning, Luisa, Elianne, and Delia were on my bed.

The three played rock-paper-scissors.

Delia, who won at rock-paper-scissors, smiled,

“Joel’s, I’ll eat well today!”

I moved to the middle seat and lowered my pants.

… A week ago, I asked for a blowjob once in the morning, and it became a routine every morning.

I feel good because all I have to do is lie down in bed and receive it from three people, but I was a bit worried because the level seemed to be rising.

It was also normal for Lena to look at the four of us with her eyes intrigued from the side.

Everybody is drying their hair after taking a bath together.

Eliane told me.

“Joel, can I change the title?”

“How?”

She replied, blushing slightly at her.

“To the West… !”

Does she want to solidify the fact that he is her fiancée?

Before I answered, Luisa,

“I think it’s still early, Miss Elianne.”

I objected.

Eliane made a sullen expression.

“I guess…. Sorry.”

This time, thanks to her information, I was able to deal with the uninhabited vampire to some extent.

There are victims, but that’s beyond our ability.

… She had a really unexpected ending, but she was the first contributor to this case anyway.

“It’s okay, you can call me. It’s a reward.”

“Thank you, Mr. Seo… !! I will continue to do my best to help you in the future.”

“Yes.”

Louisa’s face looked slightly displeased.

She gripped her ass with her right hand.

“Ah… !”

“Please take good care of Luisa as well.”

“Yes… ! I Luisa, I will continue to dedicate my whole body to you, Bocchan… !!”

I finished my preparations and left the dormitory.

I went straight to the main building.

Looking at the school bulletin board, there was a piece of paper with the midterm rankings written on it.

——

＜1St grade, 1st semester midterm writing evaluation ranking＞

1St Place: Joel

2Nd Place: Benedetta

3Rd Place: Elianne

……

＜1St grade, 1st semester midterm practical evaluation ranking＞

1St place: Joel, Benedetta, Elianne, Luisa, Caitlyn, Lando

……

＜1St year 1st semester midterm evaluation overall ranking＞

1St Place: Joel

2Nd Place: Benedetta

3Rd Place: Elianne

4Th Place: Caitlyn

5Th Place: Luisa

6Th Place: Lando

……

——

Since the proportion of practical writing is much larger, Lando, which is in the lower ranks in terms of writing scores, is ranked 6th overall.

I expected to a certain extent that I would win first place, but when I actually saw it, the corner of my mouth went up.

From noble mtl dot com

The last place in the entrance exam ranks first in the midterm exam.

Of course, the midterm exam is the very beginning of the 3-year academy course.

I had to keep this momentum going.

The cadets around me were buzzing.

“You really never know how people work.”

“Even if he rots, he is still the son of the Marquis.”

“I should have lined up for Joel too….”

We heard various reactions.

But no one looked down on my skills anymore.

I couldn’t hear the voice saying that I won first place in the midterm exam through expedients or cheating.

… It was a bit hot.

She has benefited greatly from Ellie Anne leaking the contents of her midterm practical exam.

She suspects that she wrote a duel in which she wrote no negation, and she has no doubts about the midterm test in which she wrote some negation.

It was very ironic.

“Hey, but isn’t that what it is? They say that all the people in the top ranks are drug addicts this time.”

“About? What drug?”

“There must be a drug in the back alley that boosts your abilities. Didn’t Joel-sama use that drug too? Your powers suddenly jumped up.”

“That is the most plausible.”

Ellie Anne turned her head and made her face.

Then the cadets kept their mouths shut.

He seemed to be offended by the absurd allegations that I had taken drugs.

It’s not once or twice that I get strange suspicions.

But it bothered me that the story of the drug was gradually spreading among the cadets.

‘Let’s track where Balbino is once more.’

Considering that events move faster than the story of the original game, by now Balbino may be gearing up for action on Lauris.

We’ve also increased our strength in many ways, so it’s worth going up against Balbino.

Crucially, my [Time Stop] Ability has greatly improved.

Just as I was about to walk into the classroom, Caitlyn came belatedly to the bulletin board.

She opened her eyes wide as she checked her ranking.

Originally, she didn’t have very good grades, so she seemed to be like that.

“Thanks Joel!”

She smiled at me and took her hands.

“This is the result of your hard work.”

“I tried my best too, but you gave me the opportunity to work hard in the first place. Actually, I was going to drop out of the academy if I succeeded in business. My grades aren’t good, so there’s no reason to keep going.”

… It was going to be a big deal.

He’s the only tank in our party right now.

I might be able to meet other tank characters other than Caitlyn later, but for now, she’s the only one.

She kept smiling and talking.

“Can I still be at your party?”

“Sure. Rather, I would like to ask.”

“Yes!”

I’ve never seen her so happy.

Although an article is not her goal, she seemed to feel great pride in the fact that she got good grades because she is still a person.

He seems to have been a bit concerned about it.

“Then I’ll go to the lecture!”

“Yes.”

She brightly waved her hand at me and ran towards the classroom.

I also felt that she had become kinder to me lately.

… Did you fall for me?

That’s probably not the case.

There is no woman who would like a perverted aristocrat like me.

That’s also Caitlyn who hates authoritative aristocrats.

Said, turning her head towards Luisa and Lena.

“I’ll stop by the back alley for a bit this afternoon.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Lena glanced at my face.

“Hooxi…. Are you going to buy medicine? ? Can I have a weak experience too… ?”

“… ….”

Reading my expression, Luisa scolded Lena instead of me.

***

The Duke and Duchess of Chablis, eldest son, eldest daughter, and second daughter gathered together.

The eldest and second daughters at the in-laws’ house were just puzzled by their father’s sudden call.

The eldest son also came home inevitably, even though he had a duty as an active-duty knight.

The maids put tea and coffee on the table respectively.

Only the Duke of Chablis had black tea.

“Father, why did you call us all?”

The eldest son, the heir to the family, spoke first.

However, his gaze was not on the Duke of Chablis, but on the Duchess.

Usually, when called by the name of the Duke of Chablis, in reality, most of the awkward matters that the Duchess speaks of herself are conveyed through her husband.

Because all the children knew that, they paid attention to their mother the most.

The Duke of Chablis answered, raising the corner of his mouth slightly.

“I plan to divorce as of today.”

“”…… Yes?””

The Duchess, the eldest son, the eldest daughter, and the second daughter all opened their eyes wide.

Because it was something that I never imagined, and that no one here expected.

The eldest daughter asked again, placing her hand on her chest.

“Dad, are you saying you are divorcing your mother?”

“Yes.”

There was no hesitation in the words of the Duke of Chablis.

He has already made up his mind.

The Duchess’s face turned red.

She finally lost her coffee cup that she was holding with her fingers.

An expensive cup broke with a clatter.

This time, the second daughter asked her father a question.

“Father! What do you think your mother did so seriously?”

“Because I killed Daniel.”

The Duchess said with a smile.

“Honey, I thought I killed Daniel. I never did. It was Julian who killed Daniel. Of course, he’s the one I recommended, but I didn’t expect him to be that kind of young man. I am sorry for recommending such a person.”

The Duke of Chablis pulled a sheet of parchment from his bosom.

And she put it right on the table.

It was the final verdict against Julian, recorded as of yesterday.

It was a judgment handed down by the crown prince himself.

The Duke of Chablis tapped a sentence of the judgment with his hand.

[The crime of murdering Daniel, the legitimate son of the Duke of Chablis, at the request of the Duchess of Chablis is serious.]

The eldest son, the eldest daughter, and the second daughter all turned their heads toward their mother.

The Duchess shook her head.

“I’ve never been like that before. Something’s wrong with this, honey. Yeah, I did have a bit of a bad relationship with Daniel. But there’s no way I could just kill them.”

The Duke of Chablis snorted.

“So, Your Highness’s judgment was wrong? Then you go and find out.”

“That, how can I….”

“Don’t you know how I can’t do anything? Or do you want to wage a war with the imperial family?”

No one answered.

It is a huge political burden to challenge the crown prince’s ruling.

Moreover, since the ruling that was scheduled to be announced to all the people had written about the duchess, it made the situation even more strange that she would rather not divorce.

Because according to imperial law, teachers are punished the same as executioners.

Moreover, this ruling was also interpreted to mean that the imperial family or the crown prince abandoned the duchess, who is also of the same imperial family.

In other words, the Duke of Chablis had no reason to hold on to the Duchess anymore.

“One more thing. I will change my successor.”

“Yes… ?!”

The eldest son was bewildered at the news like a thunderbolt.

Changing the heir means that the eldest son will not be the heir.

“Father, what did I do wrong….”

The Duke of Chablis snorted.

“You are shameless. My words will not be heard even if I die soon.”

“What do you mean? I have always followed my father’s word.”

“Then why didn’t you follow my advice to stop bullying Daniel and treat him well?”

“That, that….”

The Duchess is at the top of this family’s hierarchy.

If the words of the second-priority father conflict with each other, he had to faithfully follow the words of the mother, the first-priority.

All the children knew that it would continue in the future.

The eldest daughter cautiously asked her father.

“So who are you going to pass it on to? It is a rule in our family to pass it on to our sons.”

“I have thought of everything.”

“Who… ?”

“Joel.”

Joel de Jahe.

The son of the Marquis of Jahe.

The fiancée of his third daughter, Eli Anne.

The eldest son’s head is white at a person he never thought of.
