Chapter 493 – Fate.

‘You’re changing Dimacaeri and Mynades?’

It wasn’t just a coincidence that Sulxien heard that story. Because she was currently visiting the Abiliye family with Minos.

The reason she was going around with her Fuhrer was because of her own thesis. Sulcien was called somewhere under the guidance of Pasiphae.

“I ask you again, no matter what happens, you must not be rude.”

She thought as she listened to Pasiphae’s nagging, which she repeated persistently every day.

‘Who on earth are you bothering me so much to meet?’

Sulshien was annoying, but it was also fascinating to see her repeating the same words over and over again to the point where it felt like she was rambling.

Pasiphae has been behaving like an unofficial person despite her position as dean. It was a moment when she wondered who it was that she was behaving like this, as she seemed to act arrogantly and without fear of anyone.

“Hum hum, here we go.”

The voice of someone sitting at a table set up outdoors in a cafe was heard.

When Sulshien turned towards that place, there was an old man with graying hair, wrinkles, and a luxurious golden monocle smiling vainly.

No, it would be a bit absurd to say that she was just an old woman. Although he looked like his grandfather, he was more middle-aged than old, but the gray hair color made him look older.

“Who…”
“This guy! Can’t you lower your head quickly?!”

She wondered who it was that was calling them, but Pasiphae was frightened and grabbed Sulcien’s head, forcing him to bow down.

“I’m sorry! Mr. President! Even though I told you this repeatedly!”

So, while he was in a daze, Sulsien was astonished when he heard Pasiphae’s story.

‘Is this person Minos?’

She wondered how she could not recognize the face of the person who held full power over the country, but even Sulshien could not help it. Of all the past presidents of Pasiphenia, Minos was the least visible to the outside world.

No matter what happens, most of the time, a representative is used to express a position or implement a policy, so the representative’s face becomes more famous.

“I’m sorry! I will educate this child no matter what!”
Hehe, it’s okay. You might not know.”
“Oh, no. How can the people not know the face of the father of the country? I will scold you harshly, so please have mercy…”

Sulcien was quite surprised to see Pasiphae being so servile. What she felt while living the same life as Pasiphae’s lover was that she disliked men like Rimanchi too much.

Even Sulcienne was well aware that those called Mainades were such women, but this was especially severe for Pasiphae.

‘She seemed like she wanted to be a man.’

Now, she happened to be secretly pressuring her to break up with Phobos, who she was dating. It seemed as if she was jealous, and what she realized was that she seemed to think of the man as an object of competition.

‘He was a person who would not bow his head even in front of the Fuhrer.’

However, she said, he was a person who did not try to work and acted as if the world revolved around him.

“Mercy. The people are the owners of the country. If you are a father, shouldn’t you accept your daughter’s mistakes as well?”
“Ah! As expected, you are His Excellency the President!”

Seeing Pasiphae like that, Sulcienne was in a daze, forgetting about her situation, and Minos’ eyes fell on her.

“By the way, is this the one who submitted the paper?”
“Yes, yes! This child is Xulxien!”
“Oh, hello, are you doing it?”

As Sulcien bowed her head in greeting, Pasiphae’s face distorted again.

“Seolsien! Where did I tell you to greet His Excellency the President that way?!”
“Stop.”

Her yelling caused her Sulcienne to flinch and leave her body. Minos frowned at her human and when she said a word, Pasiphae silenced her.

“I’d like to talk to Xulshien alone for a while.”
“But maybe that kid was rude…”

She said it had been a while since she had known Sulcienne. She was shocked at how she was talking as if she knew everything about her, but Minos spoke firmly.

“I said I would treat him alone.”
“…All right.”

As she was looking at Pasiphae from afar, who was retreating with a dissatisfied look on his face, Minos beckoned and spoke to her.

“Please sit here. You said it was Xulsien, right?”
“Yes yes!”
“I read that paper. It’s great. They did a great job with the female body.”
“…Thank you.”

He smiled and spoke as Sulcienne answered in a very nervous voice as she sat down in her chair.

“Besides, you’re the one who requested that the names of the knights who served with you be engraved in the national cemetery, right?”
“I thought it was natural.”

If it weren’t for Eidos and Aegeus, her research wouldn’t have been accomplished in the first place.

“How can you have such a kind heart?”

Minos’ words were full of praise, but Sulcien could not be purely happy. The moment he held her hand with tears streaming down her face as if he was moved, it felt as if a large snake’s tongue was skimming across her body.

“So, do you like Kochet?”
“Oh, no. Just sometimes.”
“Hmm, I see.”

Minos gave a sigh of regret and got up from his seat.

“Then follow me.”

Seolsien suddenly got up after him and suddenly noticed the contents of the cup in front of him. Coche’s characteristic pitch black liquid filled the cup.

As I followed Minos, I arrived at the mansion of the Aviliye family, and there I saw Minos and Valentin talking.

“Mr. Fuhrer? That woman…”

Valentin spoke as if he had noticed that Sulcienne had come in with her when she looked surprised, and Minos responded.

“We talked about it briefly before, right? He’s a great alchemist who brought that paper.”
“Huh?! I didn’t qualify as an alchemist.”

Sulcien was startled by Minos’ story. That’s because she hasn’t even graduated from her institute yet because she’s somewhere else working on her thesis.

“I will tell Pasiphae.”
“Hehe, please.”

However, Sulcien could not follow the conversation between Valentin and Minos, who answered quickly.

“Within a few days, Sulcien will become an alchemist.”
“There are still no proper tests…”
“Isn’t it a waste of manpower to remain a student even though I brought such an excellent thesis?”

Seolsien realized. It was for this purpose that Minos brought him. There were many things to worry about, but he left the Abiliye family mansion without any hesitation as if that was the end of his business.

“This is Endymion, the mansion where His Excellency the President resides.”
“Endymion…”

As soon as Sulcienne left the Abillie family mansion, she looked ahead of her, listening to Pasiphae, who had followed her again. She said it was a mansion, but that wasn’t enough to explain it.

Unlike the densely packed buildings around it, the lawn was so wide that it almost felt like a meadow, and the invisible street running through the center drew attention to the main entrance of the building.

It was a large palace that reflected dazzling white light. Originally, Pasiphenia was a monarchy, a story from the past that is now difficult to realize, but the fact that it remains intact to this day seemed to teach us what its power was at the time.

“Please consider it an honor to set foot in this place. Unless it’s something special like this, it’s a place you wouldn’t even be able to set foot in.”

Pasiphae spoke, puffing out her breasts as if she were showing off, but Minos’ gaze as he watched her was extremely emotionless.

“Pasiphae, please take a step back.”
“I understand. Seolsien, come here…”

He even shows signs of discomfort, and when he informs her that he is about to step into the front door of Endymion, Pasiphae obediently retreats and calls for her Sulcienne. She tried to follow Pasiphae, but she couldn’t.

“No, you just need to leave. I still have some business left to do with Sulcien.”

Because Minos was holding on to Sulcien’s arm.

“What do you think? What is the scenery of Endymion?”

She ended up riding in a rickshaw with Minos, heading towards Endymion. The grounds of Endymion were so large that you had to take a private rickshaw to get there.

“It’s really cool.”

Even as Sulsien responded to his words, she was lost in other thoughts as she gazed at the sight of the yard reminiscent of a green meadow.

‘Why am I in a place like this…’

No matter how good her papers were, she would not have been worthy of being invited to her residence by the Fuhrer. Although I had some idea of ​​the truth, I was trying my best to ignore it, but I couldn’t do that anymore.

“Hehe, I sometimes get mesmerized looking at this scenery.”
“Tsk…”

Suddenly, his rough hand came up her leg and began to gently caress her thigh. Seolsien almost screamed without realizing it and then looked at the rickshaw puller, but he just looked ahead as if he didn’t know anything about what was happening behind him.

“What do you think? Why don’t we take a look around some more?”
“…Great.”

Even as the hand approached between her legs more and more blatantly, Sulcien had no choice but to respond in that way.

‘There’s no one there.’

Because there was no one here to protect her.

-Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
“Hmm!”

The old man’s rough fingers crawl under her skirt, lift her underwear, and pinch her jig, but she cannot resist.

“Whew, is this the first time something like this has happened?”
“Ugh, that’s…”

While Minos’ breath tickles her ears, she cannot express the unpleasant smell that passes her nose.

“It’s okay to be honest. It’s more comfortable for me to date someone else. May I know who it is?”

For a moment, the image of Usher appeared in Sulxien’s mind, but she closed her eyes tightly.

“It’s Phobos.”
