The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Episode 29 Gate (2)

Tarancio Torio suggested it in a trumpeted tone.

“Lady Louisa. Do you have any plans to join the secret organization garden? Upon entering, you can enjoy several benefits. For example, you can get information in advance that other cadets cannot get, like now.”

With that said, Tarancio looked at Ruina’s complexion.

However, as always, she couldn’t read her mind from the insensitive expression on her face.

“Um.”

Louis I seemed lost in her thoughts.

She paused for a moment before asking.

“What good does it do me if I go there?”

“Yes? As I said… “

“I can get information in advance that other cadets cannot get… I just don’t like it that much.”

Tarancio, who was about to say something, closed his mouth.

Talk-. Tok-.

Louisa’s slender fingers tapped her table twice.

Tarancio found himself naturally looking towards it.

That time felt very long.

Looking at Tarancio’s attitude, Rui I finished assessing her situation.

‘Looks like he still likes me.’

She questioned the conditions of the Tarancio trio.

She became a first-class knight at the age of 32 and is now 35 years old.

‘What’s the age difference… ‘

The age difference of about 15 years between her arranged marriage wasn’t too much.

Her skills weren’t bad either.

However.

It’s not noticeable.

In the case of my eldest brother, who has now run away from the family, he was already a first-class knight at the age of 22, and his second brother was not as good as him, but he was better than that.

And most of all, since Eugene is now 20 years old and presumed to be in first grade…

She didn’t pay much attention to him.

It was like that in terms of ability… If her ability was so high, she would be better off with 20 years of age, Eugene.

Finished her judgment.

Tarancio is just a chess piece.

And since the chess piece likes her, it doesn’t seem like it would be difficult for her to move according to her intentions.

“… I can’t help it if you don’t like it.”

While Ruina was thinking, Tarancio spoke in a slightly downcast voice.

He knew that Ruina was looking at her liver.

Also, she didn’t know that I was being dragged around in front of her.

I knew the reason.

‘Because I like it.’

From noble mtl dot com

As funny as it may sound, when she first saw Louisa, who was fourteen years old, she fell in love at first sight.

She fell in love with a 14-year-old girl, and her feelings have not changed.

Because she was as beautiful as that.

It wasn’t just beautiful.

He had an outstanding talent that was as good as mine, and had dignity.

Maybe… Also, when Ruina reaches his age, she will have enough skills to rise to the 1st class.

But unfortunately, Ruina already has a partner.

No, there was.

At that time, a boy known as an unsalted genius was his mate, and Tarancio had always felt inferior to him.

His skills were also his skills, but he had the woman he wanted the most.

Without any effort, Ruina was already hers.

‘But… Not anymore.’

It’s a thing of the past.

Ruina is no longer his.

Tarancio decided to go a little bolder.

“I’ll do whatever the lady wants! In the name of this Tarancio!”

“It is not easy to say anything.”

Ruina looked straight into his eyes.

Tarancio’s heart stopped for a moment.

Because I felt that she was more beautiful now than she was in her dreams.

‘I… You’re crazy.’

“Never… It’s never an easy thing to say.”

If I limited this moment, I could have offered my heart.

“You… Because you are someone I can give my all to.”

She was a young woman of fifteen, but that didn’t matter.

As your heart tells you.

For her sake, she would do anything she dared to do.

“Thank you. The heart.”

It was only then that a smile crept across Ruina’s lips.

It was the first smile Tarancio had ever seen.

Her heart melted softly, and she cried out in delight that her judgment was correct.

However.

“Then test Eugene. There is a gate practice right now, so I think it would be better to do it there. Oh, please leave it as a video. Because I want to check it myself.”

As soon as the name ‘Eugene’ came out of her mouth, her excited heart plummeted.

‘… Eugene?’

Didn’t you break up your marriage?

Why the hell are you talking about his name?

Do you still have any regrets?

“… Are you saying to test Cadet Eugene?”

“Yes.”

“Why the hell… ?”

“It would be difficult to tell you that far. It’s personal.”

Ruina pursed her lips with a resolute expression.

She was missing the smile she had shown before.

With that alone, Tarancio’s heart sank with a ‘thump’.

“… As much as that.”

Even if you do all the other requests, it’s difficult.

To measure his skills on behalf of Ruina, who seems to have lingering regrets.

That was a no-brainer.

However.

“Is it difficult?”

“No. I will show you how to do it.”

Just seeing Ruina’s sorrowful expression, that feeling faded.

… Eugene. Yes Eugene. There was nothing in her that she couldn’t test for her.

But… Even so, I had to ask this.

Tarancio opened his mouth in a desperate voice.

“… Then what can I get young lady.”

At that, Ruina’s aquamarine-like eyes caught him, and she let out an alluring smile.

With a slightly languid tone.

“Okay. Maybe you can win my heart.”

Yeah, that was enough.

Even the tiniest possibility was enough to motivate Tarancio to move.

“Then I understand that joining the organization will be postponed until after Young-sik has taken care of it.”

“Ah… great.”

“Then… I must get up first.”

Drureuk-.

As soon as the business was over, Ruina stood up from her chair.

Not yet… It was a time that hadn’t even passed 10 minutes.

“Now, wait a minute. Lady Louisa. The coffee hasn’t even cooled down yet.”

“Sorry. I have a busy business. Is it something important?”

Looking down from above, Ruina’s expression had become numb before she knew it.

Tarancio was overwhelmed by that expression.

“Ah… no.”

“Sure.”

I couldn’t bear to catch her, so I watched her turn around and walk away.

In the place where she was, there was only a cup of coffee that she hadn’t taken a sip of yet.

“Ah… “

She sat there idly and recalled the mission Louisa had left behind for her.

To test Eugene.

She hinted at her gate practice that she looked good testing him.

I don’t like it.

Why does she test Eugene’s skills?

It was a question that could be answered with just a little thought.

She had already made a promise, though, and it was clear that she would be very disappointed in herself if she broke that promise.

“… I decided to do it, so I have to do it.”

I wrote the scenario quickly.

Eugene is the chief cadet of the Faculty of Engineering. And in the gate practice, the Faculty of Knights and the Faculty of Magic form a mixed group.

A group of five.

In general, a teacher from the other side of the faculty with excellent grades is assigned as a lead.

In other words… It would be appropriate for the person leading the group of Cadet Eugene to be a professor at the Faculty of Magic.

‘Hmm.’

Of course.

If you insist, you will be able to put the group together with the influence of the garden.

However, when a problem arises, it will be difficult to avoid responsibility.

‘It would be nice to have an assistant.’

There was a person who came to mind when I said helper.

Yandela Kesio.

A professor at the Faculty of Magic, and a 6th tier wizard.

She, like him, belongs to the garden, and she just happened to be put into practice at the gate.

‘Shall I ask you a favor?’

He had a good reputation among professors as well as among students, and was generally obedient to requests.

If he helps himself, the scenario will be much more cohesive.

You can apply for a ‘rescue team’ and be put into the gate, and you can contact Yandela, who leads the group that Eugene belongs to, and ‘evaluate’ him.

It’s better to bring something like a mask that can’t be identified.

Then I suddenly had an idea.

‘… Is it really necessary to just evaluate?’

The gate was a space where there was nothing strange about any accident.

Then… Isn’t there a law preventing Eugene from getting involved in an accident?

The rest of the crew… Well, would it be better to stun it?

Or… Wouldn’t it be better to create an accident so that he meets the same fate as Eugene?

‘… No. Isn’t this an overthinking?’

Shaking his head inwardly, Tarancio put in a call to Yandela.

He thinks he will enter the gate, but he has something he wants to discuss.

The reply came within seconds.

– I’m also near that cafe, so I’ll stop by.

Not long after that message came, Yandela arrived.

“Oh. Tarancio! I was interested in hearing that you would enter the gate.”

He sat across from Tarancio, smiling broadly with a worldly good face.

“Come on. What do you want to discuss with me? Let’s listen to it coolly.”

Tarancio felt inside that he was a very comfortable person, and fluently spoke about things that would be difficult to say normally. From what happened with Ruina to what went into the gate to test Eugene.

Yandela smiled brightly after hearing all of that.

“My God! Tarancio. You are too kind.”

“What do you mean, Yanrella?”

“What do you mean? You really like Lady Louisa… Don’t you want to get it again?”

“Yes.”

Of course.

Louis was prepared to put in any effort in order to win me.

“But why?”

Yandela’s head tilted to the side.

Then she continued.

“If there is Cadet Eugene… Can that wish come true?”

At Yandela’s words, Tarancio suddenly brought out a scenario he had thought of once.

“That word meant Cadet Eugene… “

From noble mtl dot com

“Sometimes it takes a decision to get something very precious.”

Yandela had a good expression once again.

Seeing that scene, Tarancio suddenly wondered if it was something to feel so guilty about killing Eugene at the gate by faking it as an accident.

Tarancio did not notice that Yandela’s magic was stimulating his sinister mind.

Because it was too secret for that.
