86. Academy professors (2)

It was the first time I was swept away by the urge to shut the door as soon as I saw a person’s face.

I was worried about actually closing the door, but I forcibly gave my hand strength because it would look like a joke.

Because I didn’t want to look a little light.

“What is going on?”

“Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?”

It was quite impressive to see the courtesy that was clearly different from the previous one.

But I didn’t mean to feel sorry for him. That’s because the back of the Geronia family is connected to the word Gurida.

“It is late at night.”

Gideon’s expression darkened even more when he answered the same as he had said to Erica.

“Okay, just a moment.”

“It’s a waste even for a moment.”

I tried to close the door, but Gideon is in a hurry and holds the door. He frowned right away, and he bit his lip and said.

“My family really has nothing to do with the assassination of His Majesty the King!”

“… … .”

“To be honest. It is true that money has come and gone for a close relationship with the religious upper class. But being an accomplice in an assassination with that is really unfair!”

“… … .”

“We heard that Wiryeongsa-nim took the lead in this incident. If, by any chance, my family is harmed by my previous actions… … .”

“No way.”

profit.

Rather, I open the door wide from my side. I glared at Gideon and warned him.

“It was an attempted assassination of His Majesty the King. There was such a thing, but do you think that your family is being investigated for personal reasons?”

“That, not that… … !”

“It is to enforce through justice and justice. If your family is flawless, His Majesty’s blade will deflect you on its own.”

“… … .”

Gideon, who kept his mouth shut, clenched his fists as if he had nothing to say.

And then thump.

got down on his knees

“I have nothing to say. However! No house in this realm is without flaw!”

“… … .”

“Your Majesty seems to want something other than that from us. But we don’t know that!”

Gideon’s voice trembles. Not only was he worried about his family, but it seemed like the family put pressure on him.

“My family’s businesses are being foreclosed one after another. In particular, the pink salt business in Faruyère was a family life-or-death affair!”

“… … .”

“It’s not just a seizure. All of the family’s finances were frozen. Dealing with our family is called treason, and the territories don’t even pay taxes. Your Majesty is already accusing our family of criminals!”

I had heard that the Geronia family was doing business here and there.

I’m investing money in the middle of expanding the size of the business, but suddenly the foreclosure comes in, and the sanctions come in from the royal family, so I’m going to have a good time.

Every day will be a series of huge losses.

“Gee, wisdom. Please give me your wisdom.”

Watching Gideon bow his head deeply, I pondered for a moment. In order to do business, the Geronia family must have spread their hands here and there.

In my opinion, it was not simply a matter of business, but it seemed that there was something entangled in it that should not be caught on the side of the royal family.

I certainly have something I want from them, and if I had to ask, I knew a little about the solution.

“It is late at night.”

I pull back and pull the door. The Geronia family still has some room to spare.

I was thinking of waiting calmly and extracting all of it, like removing steam from carbonic acid.

“please!”

But Gideon jumps into the threshold.

Since he was a magic swordsman, his strength was greater than expected, so he almost missed the doorknob.

“light.”

The cool woman’s spell sound came from behind. And a faint beam of light emanated from it.

It struck Gideon in the chest and went in, and he, bent over as a warrior, hit his back against the railing behind him.

“Gagging!”

The impact wasn’t great, but it was definitely pushed out. Gideon’s eyes widened as he raised his head in bewilderment.

“Eh, Erika Bright!”

Erica Bright, who was a passenger, shot her magic past me.

She looked down at Gideon with a cold gaze and said.

“I was a passenger. If you are going to come, come back later.”

Erica put her hands together and covered her pajamas and slammed the door.

I, who was watching that scene from behind, said something to Erika.

“You stop too.”

“… … .”

Erika slowly turned around and pursed her lips. It was the expression of a fiancée that she often showed when she attended the academy for three months before.

“If we leave now, we will have to run into Gideon.”

“… … .”

“Since he’s seen me with you, Gideon won’t ask for anything from me anymore.”

Erica nodded in satisfaction. Even if I told him to leave immediately, he didn’t seem to listen, so he turned around and sat down on the bed.

After that, Erica followed me with a gun. It was a childlike reaction that did not match his age and cold appearance.

[Cute? This is a reversal charm, something like that.]

The Dark Magician tilted her eyes at Erika from the side. Certainly, her gestures were not the cold air that the students at the academy show, and they were not the same anxious and worried look she used to be.

I sip the tea I drank earlier.

It cooled down a little, but it was much easier to drink this way.

After quenching my throat like that, I smiled slightly at Erica who was staring at me blankly.

“It has changed.”

“uh?”

Surprised by my words, Erica shook her shoulders. Then he smiles softly.

“Does it look like that?”

Even though it was an ambiguous compliment, she feels ashamed for nothing. Then, one by one, they began to tell their own stories.

“I made it clear in my family. There can be no engagement with Gideon. If you force it forward, I won’t stand still.”

“… … .”

“So, thanks to that, I didn’t get married to that man outside. thanks.”

It felt like a child was telling me what he did well and asking for praise.

It seems that the Dark Spirit felt the same way as me, and she said she was cute and stroked Erica’s head.

[Oh, well done.]

If Erica saw it, she would have shot the magic right away. I pretended not to see the Dark Spirit and replied.

“yes.”

“… … Is there anything else to say about Verdi? When are you getting married?”

I replied calmly to the woman who glanced at me and asked.

“Yes, nothing else to say.”

Rather, in the case of Deia, after hearing that they were planning to break up their engagement, he even urged them to do it quickly if they were going to do it without procrastinating.

“I see.”

I told her, thinking that it was just fine.

“Even tomorrow, bring the breakup letter. Now you are a woman who can stand alone enough.”

“ah… … .”

While I was gone, they fought a war of nerves with Gideon and the Bright family using their engagement as a shield.

The woman who was swayed by love and couldn’t make a proper judgment was living a proud and independent life again.

Now my engagement to her would be a hindrance to her.

“No, that… … .”

As I stared at her blankly, Erica waved her hands around and jumped to her feet.

“Bah, it’s late at night! I’ll go out.”

Then he went outside without listening to me.

[Doesn’t it seem like it would be quite difficult to break off marriage?]

“… … You are tired.”

You don’t even need to get a divorce letter right now. Being engaged to her in the first place had a helpful side to me as well.

The last time King Orpheus tried to arrange a betrothal to the princess, it also gave me a good excuse to refuse.

“I’m going to sleep now.”

[Yes, sweet dreams.]

It’s a dream.

I didn’t have to say anything else.

I slowly laid down on the bed and closed my eyes.

Stepping out of the room, Erika took a deep breath and cleared her trembling chest.

Come to think of it, wasn’t it just the two of us in the same room? I was slightly throbbing, wondering if today’s story could have turned in a different direction if I had gathered a little courage.

“Sigh.”

However, Erica couldn’t be there because she brought up the breakup.

For him, the letter of divorce was something that calmed his mind, but at the same time, he wanted it to disappear.

Proof that the connection with Deius Verdi has not yet been severed.

But promise that it will end soon.

It was the breakup letter that contained such a complex meaning.

“Originally, I was going to ask about your relationship with Aria’s student.”

Two people holding hands in the hallway. I wanted to ask because he had seen Deius holding hands, but now it’s over.

Having a brief conversation with Deus reminded me of what kind of person he was.

From a professor’s point of view, he is never someone to go out with or have a deep relationship with a student.

It was because he was firmly rooted in apathy beyond discernment.

“… … .”

In that sense, he could be said to be in a very advantageous position with the letter of divorce.

If Erica didn’t release him, Deius wouldn’t be able to date or marry anyone after all.

“uh… … ?”

Come to think of it, yes.

My body warmed up slightly as if I was holding on to Deus’ leash.

Whether it’s Princess Eleanor or Arya Rias. Because he would become a stumbling block to those who openly liked Deius.

“Kuhm.”

Of course, I have no intention of telling anyone that I had such a mean thought.

If Deius were to seriously love someone and ask for a breakup, of course he intended to bring a breakup letter.

‘If not.’

yes, if not

Could this relationship last a little longer?

It was Erica who thought so.
