Chapter 68 – Notice

The story was successful.

Thanks to everyone who focused more on the story than I thought, it didn’t last that long. Rather, it was more difficult for me because they listened to what I was saying seriously and even actively asked what they would do with other parts.

Unlike me who thought they would just listen quietly, I felt that they were people who sincerely thought about and acted on this country.

Well, I guess that means he’s working hard in the position of an aristocrat.

“Haaa… “

As a saint, as a representative of the Holy Nation, she was exhausted from explaining various things.

Still, if this agenda is resolved well, the day when the kingdom and the empire will be connected again will not be far off. Apparently, Seongguk did not dislike it because it was suddenly cut off, but rather, there were far more people who had questions and some who understood.

I thought it would be a difficult thing to do because it would cause quite a big loss if I suddenly cut it off, but it turns out that the exchange of goods was still happening, and it was completely closed by the culture side, so it didn’t seem like that big of a loss happened.

What am i… I thought that he had cut ties with the Empire because he was treating me in a closed way.

‘Come to think of it, the teleport magic circle would have been cut off… ‘

In a way, I had a bad head.

He was thinking that it was going to be operated in a closed way as if he had set up some kind of defense measure, so it would have been impossible to cross over to the empire on a teleport magic circle from the beginning.

It was a stupid idea.

Still, I’m glad that it turned out well in the end.

“Whoops… I saw you earlier. Did you speak better than I thought?”

“Uh? Ah… Uh… “

“I praised Preah for doing well.”

“P-Freah?”

Preah was there…

In fact, it would be even weirder if it wasn’t there.

Is she like that because she is the daughter of a duke… ?

“No, she said she wanted to come, so I brought her.”

“Ah… “

I see.

I was thinking wrong.

I was scratching my head.

I was worried at first, but I’m glad it worked out.

“It’s not quite over yet. In the end, my father, no, the emperor and the pope of this country will have to meet in person and re-sign the agreement that was unilaterally broken before. And… Perhaps, compared to the previous agreement, the Empire side will be in a slightly more powerful relationship, will that be okay?”

“It was a mistake that we made first, so we have to accept that much. You can go and negotiate what has changed.”

Originally, it should have taken a long time to proceed, but this time, the negotiations were progressing exceptionally quickly because I, the powerful person of the Holy Kingdom, and Marie, the princess, were given full power and signed the negotiations directly.

At first, I was sent directly to the academy to teach students about theology, gather opinions from our believers inside the empire, and inform the high-ranking nobles of the empire that I was willing to interact with the empire again in terms of culture.

Now, through that, I sincerely teach students and increase their awareness of me to increase the number of people who will participate in this negotiation.

You can think of going to the academy as letting people know about me.

After all, it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve been separated from the Empire…

Just looking at the fact that I met and then broke up with Marie when I was young would give you an idea of ​​how long we’ve been apart.

Of course, from a national point of view, it is ambiguous to see that the fact that they have been apart for only 10 years is enough to use the word ‘for a long time’.

It is true that 10 years is a time for strong and mountainous changes, but that is only the case.

Ten years is not that long in front of a state that maintains it for at least hundreds of years and at most thousands of years.

However, 10 years would feel like a long time to the people living there, so my goal was to give them time to get used to me and to plant good awareness of Seongguk.

Do you know how much effort I put into making it possible for those picky nobles to enjoy their classes?

I showed off my drawing skills to the fullest.

Even though I look like this, I am also good at drawing general pictures, so it was rumored to be a masterpiece among students, but no one would know that I am the cartoonist of ‘that cartoon’.

Oh I hope I can figure it out

“What are you going to do now?”

“What… First of all, I have to teach students as much as the time I specified. If you go back after achieving your goal, it will give you the perception that it will be good if you achieve your goal. And… Teaching is also a lot of fun.”

“What… It’s me. It doesn’t matter. Because of you, I was able to stay at the academy for a while, and most of all, I came here to see you.”

So I’m thinking of staying here for a while…

Marie looked up at me with a subtle expression.

“Until now, there were things I had to do, so I just went ahead with it… “

“?”

“You, did you fuck with the nun?”

“?”

Yes?

“If you think I won’t know, you’re mistaken, Ellie. Would you mind ignoring my keen eye?”

“Oh no, how… “

“Oh, I just tried it, but I didn’t expect it to be so easily caught.”

“… ?”

Ah.

Ah!

Ah!!

“Oooaaaaagh!”

“Pu-huh… Hey, no matter how sharp-eyed and intelligent I am, how did I find out that the two of you mixed up in an empty place?”

“Well, then how can you doubt… “

“Didn’t you doubt it at first when you saw that he was living with the nun to the point of being suspicious? There’s nothing but that, but last time you acted so suspiciously that I was somewhat certain, and this time I tried it once, but you were perfectly caught?”

“I must be a real fool… “

A poker face must be the basic of the basics for a politician…

Of course, I don’t think it’s my personality that shows up on my face in every action and thought I do, but it seems that people around me feel that way.

Honestly it’s embarrassing

Everyone openly asks, “Who did you fuck with?” If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a way to ask how did you know that even if you’re surprised?

I don’t think this is my fault.

It’s just that Mari, who is so sharp and has the highest political level, is weird.

“You’re so pure Ellie~ So cute~”

“… “

“Whoops… Even if you don’t have to worry, what am I going to do to you with something like that? I don’t know why, but you seem to be very afraid of me.”

“I’m asking because I really don’t know… ?”

It is clear that the memory of the last time he was captured and forced to do so has been erased.

“Oh, do you really remember what happened back then? I can’t… All I can do is erase that memory… “

Saying so, Marie made a magic circle in her hand and slowly approached me…

“Ugh, uhhh?!”

“Now, does it hurt if I stay still?”

“Sah, save me!”

I hurriedly ran back.

As if my reaction was quite funny, as soon as I got rid of the magic circle, Marie started laughing.

How funny would it be to shed tears?

It’s only once or twice that he teases me like that.

“Stop teasing me!”

“Oh, so you think you did well?”

“… “

“Even if I look like this, am I really looking after you? You, who is not even on both legs, but on all fours.”

“Yes, four legs… ?”

“You’ve even forgotten Freah… Isn’t that too much?”

“… “

I never thought I’d take Freah out of there and stumble over it.

To be honest, Freya had nothing to say.

No matter what, in the end, it didn’t change that I touched Freah, and because of that, Freah’s strange feelings toward me didn’t change either.

What I just said was actually excluding Preah, so you could say it was kicked by me.

Was I this evil?

While I was lamenting about myself thinking that way, Mari, who was smiling at me like that, looked behind her and said,

“Prea, can I come out now?”

At those words, the door opened, and Freya, looking somewhat downcast, entered.

What.

“Too bad… Eris… “

To make matters worse, Freah even hid behind her.

“Now, what should we do to appease those of us who are upset?”

“… “

Isn’t this just compulsion? ?

I thought I knew what Marie was talking about.

If you see it sticking like this, isn’t there only one?

I sighed.

“Okay… Can’t do it… “

Is it 3P after a long time?

At first, I thought I was defending my beliefs and all, but now I’ve become a rug for nobles and nuns.

I don’t even know anymore

It’s okay if everyone, including me, is happy.
