I Became The Academy Necromancer

60. The Shrew

“… … Let go of this.”

“Oh sorry. even I did not know.”

Princess Eleanor, who was holding the cuff of my jacket, smiled awkwardly and let go of her hand.

Even when we were alone, this kind of behavior was not very welcome, but when there are people around like now.

“Kuhm.”

Especially when King Orpheus was around, I wanted him to refrain.

Because you might get some weird misunderstandings.

The reason we gathered at the main gate of the palace was to see off Princess Eleanor.

After the case was resolved, the carriage was waiting for her because she had to return to Robern Academy.

“… … Since Deius is also a professor, shouldn’t we go together?”

As if dissatisfied with something, Eleanor glanced at me and the king and made a request.

Hearing that, Orpheus scratched the back of his head and shook his head.

“He still has work to do in the royal family.”

If you solve only the third ordeal, you can become the first black magician recognized by the king in the kingdom of Griffin.

I don’t know how long it will take, but even if I finish the ordeal, I probably won’t be able to go back to the academy right away.

Because there will be a big commotion.

“Then should I just stay and go with you? It only takes one move anyway.”

It was nice to see the princess, who had been suffering from chronic fatigue due to the nightmare, become active again, but Orpheus seemed embarrassed, perhaps thinking that it was too much.

However, it was an expression that he did not want to coolly dismiss his brother’s request.

“It’s midterm exams soon. Shouldn’t you take the top spot this time?”

“Okay.”

When I interrupt, Eleanor looks at me with a sullen look, then sighs and nods as if grumbling.

“Yes, I am Eleanor Luden Griffin.”

Because she knew the meaning and weight of her existence, the smile on her lips was dazzlingly beautiful.

I also nod my head in satisfaction.

“That’s a good answer.”

Eleanor also headed for the carriage with a confident smile.

I tried to end the send-off, but the eyes of King Orpheus and the great wizard Rockpelican were not serious, so I cleared my throat and approached Eleanor again.

“yes?”

Eleanor opened the carriage window and asked what was going on.

“I have something to tell you.”

Clearing his throat again, he deliberately draws the attention of the King and the Archmage.

Eleanor swallowed her saliva with a rosy face, slightly excited by my infinitely sincere voice.

“Uh, yes. Even if I say… … it’s okay.”

Eleanor, who glanced at her brother, nodded as if determined.

I said coldly to her.

“At Robern Academy, you should speak with respect as you are a professor and a student. Don’t be careless like you are now.”

“… … .”

“Since you are a princess, you should know how to set an example.”

Saying that, he turned around, and the king smiled with a bewildered yet absurd expression.

And an angry scream from behind.

“You are… … !”

The archmage urgently used a sound-blocking spell to prevent harsh words from leaking out of the princess’s mouth.

The carriage rattled and the princess tried to jump out, but at the gesture of the archmage the coachman hurriedly drove the horse away.

“You are truly mysterious.”

King Orpheus grumbles at me, saying that he is fed up with me as I calmly meet the princess’s carriage, but then quietly asks me.

“You, exactly this year… … .”

“… … I am twenty-eight.”

Shinwoo Kim was 25 years old, but Deus was 3 years older.

“No, the age difference is huge.”

“… … .”

“I hope you think carefully about your current position and situation and don’t forget.”

I wanted to dismiss it as a useless worry, but when I said that, my younger sister would ask me where I was lacking, and the king’s appearance was good.

Just keep your mouth shut and let it flow gracefully through the silence.

King Orpheus spoke in a more serious tone only when Eleanor’s carriage was out of sight.

“The next trial will be given tomorrow. It must have been quite hard for a while because of the research.”

“thank you.”

“And there are guests who have come to visit you.”

“… … ?”

I wanted to know what it meant, but another carriage came in the same way Eleanor left.

The carriage I had already ridden on several times had the coat of arms of Northweden painted on it.

The black-haired woman who was riding in the carriage hurriedly got off and immediately bowed politely to the King and the Archmage.

“My name is Deia Verdi, sister of the Earl of Northweden. Thank you for allowing me to enter the palace like this.”

“Okay, if you’re the Marquis of the North, you’re always welcome. We won’t let you get out of the way. The one in the back of the carriage looks like a real product, but you can solve it later, so let’s solve it first among siblings.”

“Thank you for your generous consideration.”

After seeing Deia, King Orpheus playfully tapped me on the shoulder.

“Deius, your sister is much better than you.”

“… … .”

King Orpheus smiles like an old man at a young subject and goes away, and the Rock Pelican Archmage follows him.

Deia and I who remained alone.

Deia, who didn’t wake up until the king left, stood up straight when the footsteps stopped and glared at me.

“Do you have anything to say?”

I thought about it for a while before answering Deia, who was crossing her arms and making an expression that she was uncomfortable.

“How are you?”

“Well, how are you… … ?”

Deia nodded and took a deep breath.

“How have you been? uh?! I think you’ve been fine! I thought someone’s liver would tremble because someone gave themselves up to be a warlock like a madman! As soon as I entered the capital, I know how worried I was that I would be arrested for treason and executed as well!”

Deia even knows that I was arrested for surrendering to being a necromancer.

From her point of view, even entering the capital, Gray Pond, must have been a gamble with her life.

“… … And yet you came in.”

When I asked, Deia hesitated as if her throat was choking, then gave out annoyance for no reason.

“It can’t be helped! I need to figure out the situation first!”

One tomboy has gone, and one tomboy has increased. It is also more tiring because this side has a bad mouth and is stained with hatred towards me.

‘I’d rather be put through trials.’

Deia pouted and glared at me as if she had been caught thinking that way.

I didn’t have anything else to say, so I immediately tried to ask.

What do you think of me who originally took over the body of my older brother, Deius Verdi?

She opened her mouth, convinced that she would have reached me with an answer.

“for a moment.”

Deia reaches out and stops me.

After looking around for a while, he ran his hand over his forehead and said.

“It’s been about two months since you left Northwedon?”

Yes, the time I left was in March, but now it is May. The scent of flowers naturally permeated the city of Greypond.

“Assuming that a month is 30 days, if you calculate that you asked me for 5 minutes… … .”

Deia suddenly started talking nonsense. She spreads her fingers and starts calculating something.

“150 minutes in a month. It’s two months, so it’s 300 minutes. In terms of hours, this is five hours.”

chuck.

“Five hours,” Deia, who spread her fingers wide, exclaimed with her eyes wide open.

“You can use my 5 hours!”

“… … .”

“Now, how are you?”

I was wondering what the hell do you want? I was able to read the subtle feeling that he wanted to sit down and have a conversation, but he did not want to propose first.

“No need… … .”

“What?”

I was going to ask her not to be swayed by the 5 hours and just go to a cafe separately, but Deia raises her eyes because she is ugly.

It seemed that he wanted to stick to the position that he was being forcibly dragged.

Depending on her choice, this could be the last time, so considerate of her as an older brother.

“I’ll be out of town in five hours. Because of this, he will probably allow that much.”

Perhaps the disciples of the Archmage would follow me from a distance, but considering their position, going downtown didn’t make sense.

‘Greypond.’

Come to think of it, I often walked around Gray Pond in the game, but I had never walked with my own feet.

Thinking like that, I was a little bit excited.

“City of Greypond? I’m new too, do you know anything?”

“… … yes.”

a place you know

Of course, I know a lot.

Since it is a place with many small but miscellaneous sub-quests and events, I naturally bring out the information in my head.

“There is a restaurant called Mersenne. Perhaps, the food there will suit your taste.”

“… … .”

“Let it go.”

I walked past her first, and Deia’s hesitant steps immediately followed me.
