I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

77 – Competition

Benedetta, Elianne, Delia, and Lena gathered in Joel’s room.

First of all, Benedetta looked at the part that Joel had been in contact with the Demon Kingdom.

Certainly, the reason why Joel suddenly became stronger after entering school was not clearly explained.

Other cadets saw it as the result of drug use, but there was room for interpretation as a result of the fall of the demons.

Generally, when a human degenerates into a demon, he gains more power than he originally possessed.

“Miss Benedetta, are you suspicious of us right now?!”

Ellie Anne protested at Benedetta, her eyes wide open.

Benedetta shook her head and spread her palms.

“No. I believe in Sir Joel. However, other people besides me must have grounds to believe. Isn’t that how we move others?”

All political actions have a cause.

It must be determined that Joel and his party are wanted for some reason.

Even if it’s a false name.

Eli Anne let out her long sigh.

She then started talking in a low voice.

“I have a half-brother. No, there was.”

Daniel de Chablis.

Even Benedetta did not know the exact inside story.

It is only known through the judgment released by the Empire that the Duchess instigated Julian to kill Daniel.

None of the kingdom’s royalty, including Benedetta, thought it was true.

From noble mtl dot com

“Actually, neither Julian nor my mother killed Daniel.”

“Then who are you?”

“This is our Seobangnim. Joel.”

Benedetta, Delia, and Lena all widened their eyes.

Common sense didn’t make sense that she was engaged to the man who killed her brother.

Eliane explained in detail.

Her younger brother Daniel was terribly bullied by his mother and siblings for being an illegitimate child.

Even though he and his father knew, they comforted each and every time, but did not attempt a fundamental solution.

As a result, Daniel fell into a demon.

“Seobang-nim tried to kill his demons even if I hated him and branded him a murderer. A person like that colluded with the Demon Kingdom? There’s no such thing as coercion.”

After hearing her story, Benedetta, Delia, and Lena nodded their heads.

Perhaps there was a mistake or a wild misunderstanding.

Oddly enough, he gets caught up in incidents.

But if things go on like this, Joel and the others will become enemies of mankind.

A republic is also the world’s most powerful country.

I couldn’t see it as a simple happening.

Benedetta asked, turning her head towards Lena.

“In a case like this, how can the Republic cancel the wanted man?”

Lena said “Um… !!” And built an arrogance.

Then she rolled her head to and fro.

Her habit when she gets into her troubles.

Eliane had already seen it, so it was nothing, but Benedetta and Delia, who saw it for the first time, were a little surprised.

Lena straightened her face again and replied.

“As expected, the Empire and the Kingdom have no choice but to press… ! I think the wanted list was made in the president’s name… !!”

Benedetta and Eliane nodded.

The president is the head of state of the republic.

In the end, only the same head of state can shake the strong will of the head of state.

Then what they should do has been decided.

To make the king of the kingdom and the emperor of the empire move.

Benedete spoke first.

“For now, I will go back to the kingdom and convince Obama.”

All that remains is the Imperial Emperor.

Eliane recalled that the crown prince had come to visit Joel in person not long ago.

In other words, it means that the crown prince also values Joel.

Eliane said quietly.

“I will have an audience with His Highness the Crown Prince with my father.”

Lena and Delia decided to prepare for the Republic while waiting for the two to return.

After that, the four of them decided on their roles and left Joel’s room.

***

First of all, I didn’t decide where to go in order to avoid the pursuit of the knights in the portal.

I just asked the coachman to make her horse run as fast as possible.

As if there was no need to chase and catch us, the knights soon disappeared.

In fact, if all the knights of the Republic were mobilized, it would be almost impossible to keep running away.

‘I have to counterattack.’

There is no chance of winning if you just fight.

I need a tile.

I pondered in the rumbling wagon’s wagon.

What is the Achilles tendon of abdominal wall waves?

They want to return to the pre-revolutionary republic.

In order to do that, we need someone worthy of becoming a king, who is the basis for our legitimacy.

However, most of the former royalty were beheaded by the revolutionary army.

‘Isabel.’

I remember that she was the princess’s daughter.

The only surviving member of the royal family.

Actually, she doesn’t have much interest in politics, but she was abducted and forcibly appointed by the royal family.

The word unique also means that there is no one to replace.

Then what if we rescue Isabelle and put her by her side?

What if you threaten to kill Isabel if you attack us?

“Caitlyn.”

“Huh?”

“Do you know Elvington?”

“I know. It’s a famous strawberry producing area. Do you want to eat strawberries?”

“… Not that.”

She explained my thoughts to her in detail.

As far as I know, Isabelle is imprisoned in Elvington, her strawberry producing area.

I don’t have any other option to try anyway.

“How did you know? That royal family named Isabel is in Elvington??”

“Uh… ….”

How should I explain it?

I can’t really say that it’s because I know everything about the future.

“I have been keeping an eye on you for a while. The Republican Party. Because he did so many illegal things.”

“Is that so?”

“However, I couldn’t stop it because I couldn’t get the information that the work was going on today. Sorry.”

“No! They’re bad, you’re not!”

Luisa made an expression as if she was hearing it for the first time.

Well, I guess.

… Because I just made it up too.

Still, neither Caitlyn nor Luisa didn’t pry.

It must be because there is some level of trust in me.

It was a moment when I felt fortunate to have built a harem, even though the front and rear were reversed.

The coachman overheard us,

“I never thought there would be such rotten bastards… ! I’m humble, but I’ll do my best!!”

I headed towards Elvington energetically.

They seemed enraged to hear that the former aristocrats were trying to destroy the republican revolution, a feat they had achieved.

“So where exactly is that Elvington?”

Caitlin replied, drawing a map of the world with her finger on the bottom of her wagon.

“Isn’t it close to the southeast of Lauris and the northwest of the Republic?”

“Yes.”

“If you go all the way from there, you will find Elvington in the northeast of the Republic.”

“… Wait, how many hours does it take here?”

The capital of the Republic is quite a distance from the border between Lauris and the Republic.

That’s why they moved to the portal.

Caitlyn said “Um… ” He thought, then said.

“Because there is another small portal to the north? There will be a portal halfway along our way. If you can use those portals, it will take about 15 days, otherwise you should be prepared for more than a month.”

“… ….”

She was worried that even if she returned to the academy safely, she would not be expelled for truancy.

***

Benedetta arrived at the portal in Caprilia, the royal capital.

The portal workers were startled by the sudden appearance of the second princess.

Not only the workers but also other users knelt down and bowed.

She used to say that there was no need for that, to get up and go to work, but now she didn’t even have time to do that.

She ordered the staff to bring a wagon at once.

“The wagon is ready.”

“We are in a hurry, so let’s go quickly.”

“I understand.”

In the moving wagon, Benedetta kept thinking of Joel’s face.

She eventually realized it herself.

She tells him that she is also attracted to women.

She grinned.

Anyway, Joel is an indispensable talent for the kingdom.

Then there was nothing wrong with her if she truly liked her as a woman.

Because he secretly values sincerity.

“You have arrived.”

Benedetta immediately got off the wagon and ran.

Her gatekeepers saw her and quickly opened her door.

Her maids or her butlers greeted her as she passed by, but she just whizzed by.

She ran to the king’s office.

A little faster.

Before Joel is caught and killed.

The chief chamberlain, who was in front of the office door, stood up and stopped Benedetta.

“Your Highness, now—.”

“Don’t worry, I will get scolded even if you get scolded!”

She pushed hard against the door of her office with her arms.

The door opened wide, revealing the two figures inside.

Her older sister, the first princess, and her father, the king, were having a conversation.

Benedetta strode toward the king.

“What is it, Benedetta? Can’t you see I’m talking to your sister right now?”

“Please forgive my rudeness. However, I came here because I have something urgent to tell you, Obama.”

“Anything urgent? Are you referring to Joel?”

As expected, the fact that he was wanted by the Republic reached the king’s ears.

Benedetta nodded her head in response.

“That’s right.”

“The matter just came to a conclusion. Our country will just stand still.”

“Ah, Obama!”

Her older sister, the first princess,

“Then I will go alone.”

She does and she left the Oval Office.

Laughing at her little sister.

Benedetta clenched her teeth.

It’s too late.

Her older sister was trying to keep her in check.

“Abama. It is too late to speak.”

“What do you mean?”

“Sir Joel is the man who will be my husband.”

“… What?”

She got down on her knees on the floor.

She then bowed her head and said imploringly.

“Compared to Obama, I think my eyesight is still low. But, if I dare say, Sir Joel is the most brilliant man I have ever seen. I never want to miss such a talent.”

The king said “Hmm….” He stroked his beard.

Benedetta continued.

“If you do not acknowledge Sir Joel, I will see that my eyesight is wrong and I will give up the succession to the throne for the sake of my country.”

“What?”

“After that, in order not to create unnecessary trouble, I intend to get away from this country and live as Sir Joel’s concubine or lover.”

The King looked at Benedetta’s face.

This is the first time I’ve made such a strong claim.

Moreover, it was extremely rare for her to be wrong.

She said in a low voice.

“The Empire has a good chance of helping Sir Joel.”

“Empire? Why?”

“The Crown Prince also holds Sir Joel in high regard. I hear you want to make him his right hand. If we stay still, of course Sir Joel….”

The other day, the Empire sent the head of the eldest son of the Duke of Chablis.

The heir to the Duke of Chablis is now Joel.

Since it was said that the imperial family approved it, it was not impossible that the crown prince would rate Joel highly.

The talent Benedetta and the crown prince both want—Joel de Jahe.

Arriving at Benedetta, he declared that without him he would not play politics at all.

The king almost laughed out loud.

“What do you want me to do?”

The king couldn’t tell if Joel was really such a talented person.

But let’s trust his daughter, he thought.

Because Benedetta always reciprocated her faith.

***

It’s been four days since I was placed on the wanted list.

Four people who fled from the seminar venue have not yet been caught.

Still, the president thought he would be caught sooner or later.

The door to the office was suddenly opened.

The president flinched at the sound.

The foreign minister exclaimed.

“Great, Your Majesty the President! Letters from the Kingdom and Empire!”

“Letter? What is it about?”

From noble mtl dot com

The President received two pieces of paper from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and read them through.

Soon the president’s face hardened.

“No, what is Joel saying that he is going to start a war….”

I couldn’t understand it at all.

Wasn’t he just an incompetent nobleman abandoned by his father?

But why is it that the king of the kingdom and the emperor of the empire press so hard to release Joel from the wanted list at the same time?

“Your Majesty, if we continue like this—”

“I know! I understand the situation, so let’s get out.”

“Yes….”

The president nervously instructed his chief of staff.

Have Knight Commander William come to this place now.
