40. start

The academy held its opening ceremony. The lobby was full of new students. I also reached the sword star and became a sophomore.

My mind is a little complicated. I couldn’t believe that a year had passed since the beginning of all the incidents at this time when I showed that I possessed and appeared in this world.

‘Time flies so fast.’

While I was waiting for Mikaris and staring blankly at the freshmen, a friendly face greeted me.

“Mr. Hound!”

It was Ronia. I smiled and greeted her.

“Lady Ronya!”

“I really missed you. Didn’t everything go well?”

“hmm. Except for being engaged to Mika… ”

Ronia hardened like a stone statue.

“Hey, are you engaged?”

“Yes, I guess you didn’t hear me?”

She opened her mouth, stiff, unable to speak.

“Miss Ronya?”

At my call, she said something strange.

“..I don’t think the second one would be bad either.”

“The second one?”

“it’s nothing. I’ll be there first..”

trudge. hurried step. Ronia headed to the lecture room.

In fact, I tried to keep the harem at a reasonable distance. However, he could not go against Mikaris. What do you do when you are forced into an engagement?

‘I’m sorry Ronya!’

As I clenched my fists and shed tears of regret, Mikaris’ carriage arrived late.

I immediately went to the carriage and escorted her.

“thank you.”

“This is the basics.”

Mikaris turned his head and looked around, then asked me.

“Weren’t there any princesses like Ronya or Estupina?”

“Miss Ronya was there. You went in first.”

“okay? Too bad.”

Mikaris let out a sinister laugh. I must have thought to show off my engagement ring. Mikaris, cruel!

“What are you doing? Let’s go in?”

“Ah yes!”

In the first lecture, it is said that the class is not conducted. Thanks to that, I had a chance to calmly plan with Mikaris.

“Mika, are you going to the entrance ceremony tomorrow’s party?”

“That’s right. Like you said, I have to meet Eileen Ruthenia.”

Mikaris was reluctant to let me meet her, but after hearing that the divine talent was excellent, he seemed to understand it to some extent. That’s why it’s helping me with my plan.

“If I go to find Lady Ruthenia, Mika will be alone. Will it be okay?”

“Because I have a social gathering. you are noble too You probably won’t be as free as when you were a commoner?”

That too. Speaking of nobles, social gatherings are held to thoroughly manage personal connections. Many aristocrats may flock to me for the reason that I am a future swordsman and because I received the medal of honor.

“That is also true. Not only did he receive a title, he also received a medal of honor. What do people call me? Viscount Johannes? Sir Johannes?”

“Well, maybe I should call him Sir Johannes? That is a higher expression.”

Is the medal of honor higher than that of the viscount… It wasn’t for nothing that the great nobles around them were fiercely opposed.

“For some reason, I am a little afraid. I still haven’t learned how to properly aristocrat.”

“Other nobles won’t expect it either. there are people like that People who have risen to high positions only with their abilities and have even attained grand dukes.”

“You went up to the Grand Duke on your own?”

“Yes, there is a grand duke who blocked the pollution of the north by himself. I can’t get out of there because I have to stop the contamination.”

This is the first time I’ve heard of this. By the way, from the bottom up to the grand duke, proving his ability? This is good news for me.

“There have been cases like that. I’ll have to give it a shot too.”

“The Archduke? why?”

“Just. Isn’t it cool?”

Actually, it’s for the harem. Because the Grand Duke can have multiple brides. big… .

“You are the answer. So, how are you going to find Eileen Ruthenia? I also saw it when I was young, so I might not recognize it.”

“Yes… . First of all, I need to get information while conducting social gatherings.”

“Yes, that would be a good choice.”

As a result of spending time talking with Mikaris, the first lecture without classes was over.

“The next lecture is another lecture. Come to my dormitory when it’s over.”

“Sure, of course.”

Mikaris went to prepare for the next lecture. I have to prepare for the next lecture… . I’m not going to do anything anyway, can’t you just let me rest? I’m just getting dissatisfied.

When I entered the theology lecture room with a breath mixed with dissatisfaction, I was already checking attendance.

‘Oh Shiva, has my name passed?’

Luckily, my name didn’t pass. Because his name is Hound.

then,

“Eileen Ruthenia?”

“yes.”

I found Eileen Ruthenia.

Twin tails with long brown hair pinned up with hairpins, sharp eyes, and crimson eyes that shine like rubies.

‘It’s so pretty.’

I was momentarily enchanted. I thought I developed a tolerance for women, but I guess not.

… The important thing is not this, so let’s move on.

Her seat was far away and we couldn’t have a conversation.

Still, the face was memorized. All that’s left now is to visit him at the entrance ceremony celebration party.

The plan to meet Eileen Ruthenia is complete.

After all the lectures…

The night before the entrance celebration party, I’m thinking about it. What kind of clothes should I wear to get rumors that I dressed well? It’s such a trivial worry.

Unlike the first party I attended, I had to wear a suit, not a uniform. ‘Cause I’m a noble now

From noble mtl dot com

A total of 16 suits that Mikaris bought for me saying they would suit me. Isn’t that too much common sense… .

Thanks to that, let alone choosing clothes, I don’t even know what clothes are there. When I think about it like this, the uniform is really comfortable. It’s as if I always remembered the school uniform I wore when I became an adult and went to school in Kim Geun-dae’s life.

I picked out a suit that matched my hair color appropriately. dark blue suit. The color goes well with my white hair.

Tie a necktie and put a handkerchief in the breast pocket. This isn’t the national rule of Ropan, but it’s a rule used by some.

I decided on what to wear with this. The rest can be verified by Mikaris tomorrow.

***

I put on the suit I had decided on yesterday and finished all the preparations. I’m going to the graduation party. The starting point of all incidents and the place that announced my appearance.

When I left the dorm, Mikaris was waiting for me.

“To keep the lady waiting is disqualification as a knight.”

“hahahaha, sorry. It’s my first time wearing a suit, so I’m not sure… .”

Mikaris scanned my body from top to bottom and smiled happily.

“Well, I’m wearing something that suits you. Okay, let’s go.”

Arm in arm with Mikaris, we headed to the location of the entrance celebration party.

When we arrived at the party, the driver opened the door and shouted as if he had been waiting.

“This is the position of the Marquis Merian and Viscount Johannes!”

Wow, now they call me by name when I enter. This noble… ? It’s a new feeling.

When Mikaris and I entered, many aristocrats swarmed and came.

“You said that the two of you were directly related, right? It’s a romantic encounter.”

“I am also envious. I really hate arranged marriages.”

“I heard that Sir Johannes has the qualities of a swordsman, is that really true?”

stupid questions. But it would be better to leave this to Mikaris. It’s a conversation between young children.

I whispered to Mikaris.

“Social gathering, you are doing well. I will go find Lady Ruthenia.”

“Be careful not to get stuck in a social gathering, too.”

So I left Mikaris behind and walked around the party to find Eileen Ruthenia.

however… .

That food that took my attention from earlier, turkey. Is it because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen chicken breast? I can’t resist the temptation

‘A little bit, a little bit… .’

No, you’d better quit. I’m not Hound Eggil now, I’m Hound Eggil Johannes.

As a result of searching the party hall behind the turkey that took my attention, I found it.

A woman with bright red eyes in twin tails. This is Eileen Ruthenia.

She was wearing a white dress and sipping a drink alone in the corner of the party. A dark face with no life to be found. I turned to her side.

“Aren’t you lonely?”

“What are you?”

“The introduction is late. I am Viscount Egil Johannes the Hound.”

“That famous one?”

“That’s right.”

Eileen Ruthenia looked at me with her eyes wide open.

“It’s a nice suit.”

“Because it was a gift.”

Eileen Ruthenia nodded and asked me.

“So, why did you come to me?”

“Is there any reason why you shouldn’t visit someone who is lonely?”

“There will be no purpose. I don’t really believe in that kind of talk.”

What kind of life have you led to be so unsociable… .

“Hey, it’s no different. I’m here to propose a party to Lady Ruthenia.”

Eileen Ruthenia’s impression was crumpled.

“A party proposal?”

“That’s right. We are forming a party member in preparation for the pollution practice, but there is no one who majored in divinity… .”

“How did you know I majored in divinity?”

“You are famous. The daughter of the Ruthenian Marquis who has a shining divine talent.”

“… … .”

Eileen Ruthenia frowned and glared at me. It was a gaze that wanted to penetrate my thoughts.

then,

“Hey, Eileen!”

A mysterious man appeared.

“Oh, brother… .”

“You, I must have told you not to come to the party, what are you doing? And didn’t I tell you not to call me brother?”

“I’m sorry, I’m pushed too, stop… .”

“Do you think that will be the answer?”

The man, who appears to be Eileen Ruthenia’s brother, raised his right hand. The trajectory of the obvious red line is a threat. He noticed that I was by his side and lowered his raised hand again.

“Tsk, it’s okay. talk later.”

The man put his hands in his pockets and clicked his tongue and went back.

“Is there something wrong?”

“It has nothing to do with you, right? Don’t even think about getting involved with me anymore. It’s not good for you either.”

Eileen Ruthenia stared straight ahead with dead eyes and began to sip her drink. Those eyes, that face, that vibe.

I couldn’t bear to look at her, so I continued the conversation.

“If you need any help, please tell me anytime.”

“… I don’t need any help, so I’d like you to turn it off.”

Did this woman tell me to get out of here? You are the first woman to treat me like this.

… Stop talking like the son of a chaebol family.

When I tried to continue the conversation with her,

There were bruises on the wing bones and red marks that could not be covered by the dress covering the neck.

Signs of obvious violence.

“Lady Ruthenia. Again, if you need any help, please let me know. I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Didn’t you hear me say go away? It’s okay because there’s nothing you can do to help. Disappear before my eyes.”

I’m afraid it’s not a twin tail, so I’m so picky. But maybe this charm isn’t bad either.

After greeting her lightly, I joined the aristocratic social gathering.

“Sir Johannes! I’ve heard a lot about it.”

“Aren’t you Sir Johannes! It is an honor to meet you.”

These bastards, where are the eyes of ignorance and contempt, and they are struggling to maintain their personal connections with medals and titles? It’s so disgusting that I feel like vomiting.

“hahahaha, nice to meet you. It’s no different, do you know about the successor of the Ruthenian Marquis?”

“Ah, are you talking about that Shadis Ruthenia English style?”

“Yes, I have a lot of interest in Shadis Ruthenia Youngsik.”

“hmm… . I don’t know, except that I have a younger sister who is an illegitimate child. Other than that, his personality… .”

“okay… . Thank you for your answer.”

“excuse me!”

I went back to Mikaris without looking back. There’s nothing good about staying at social gatherings.

“Mika? It will come back soon.”

“Did you achieve your goal?”

“yes. I think everything we need is over.”

Bastard, I didn’t know this.
