518 – You’re Not Good at It – 3

The name of the empire is never light.

A country that is stronger than any country on the continent, a country that stands at the center of the continent and takes the lead in everything, a country that receives the favor of God and protects the mandate of heaven, and a country with such dignity that two people cannot exist in one era.

All these names are glory and praise that exist only for the Empire. No matter how strong a kingdom was, it had to bow its head to the empire, even in name, and even in the days when the Kpelopen Empire was on the verge of collapse, each country on the continent showed its ‘own’ manners. Of course, it was all up to my own standards.

However, with the rise to the throne, the empire revived again, and today, it has even integrated the north, showing that its second heyday has begun. It goes without saying that the pride of the empire and its people pierced the sky.

Nevertheless, the imperial students did not pay much attention to the anti-war war. The poor students and students from other countries who were in the same class as Lyutis and later became berserkers in order to win, but for the imperial students, the battle against them was traditionally a game of planning and fighting. If you play appropriately, the class with the most noble students will win, so there is no reason to relax.

Crucially, the biggest factor was that Ainter, who could become the focal point of the imperial students, remained silent. Being the focal point on behalf of the royal family seems a bit harsh.

“Long live the Empire! Long live victory!”

“Empire! Empire above all! Empire above all nations!”

Therefore, Ainter’s declaration of victory became an opportunity for the imperial students, who had been quiet until now, to explode. An empire greater than any other country, a royal family nobler than anyone else, leading the way, shouting for victory? Imperials who do not follow this must be traitors and retainers.

‘I’m going to turn away.’

I laughed out loud as I saw the imperial students suddenly overcome with madness.

I can’t stop this. If Ainter was a distant royal relative, such as the emperor’s sixth or seventh cousin, he would have at least quietly asked for restraint, but Ainter is the emperor’s only younger brother, so he has a lot of authority. No matter how many titles I wear, it is impossible to directly stop the royal family’s actions.

‘Sons…’

That’s why I glared at Erich, who was shouting hurray next to Ainter.

It’s all because of that b*stard. The source of all evil who blew air into Ainter, who was just breathing, and the evil younger brother who viciously attacked his already busy older brother.

I wanted to rush over and grab him by the collar, but he didn’t move away from Ainter, perhaps because he realized that if he got caught by me by mistake, he would be strangled again. How good it would have been if Jisung, who cared for his own life, had spent half of it on his brother.

“It is impossible for an empire to be defeated on the land of an empire! Treat guests with respect, but it is always the empire that wins!”

“Waaah!”

“Long live the Marquis of Idrafen! Long live the royal family of Rivnoman! Long live the Khpelopen Empire!”

“””Long live, long live, long live!”””

I slowly closed my eyes as I listened to the louder shouts of independence.

I miss the members of the 1978 season…

I sat in the stands in a daze and watched the horse racing. Seeing the horses galloping cheerfully seemed to calm my bitter heart a little.

– Irina Jorun! She took first place again this year!

And I was even more relieved to see Lin proudly crossing the finish line in first place.

Good job, our Lin. Our Rin is a hundred or a thousand times better than that ugly little brother who only hurts his brother. What I needed was Irina Crasius, not Erich Crasius.

“I’m amazed every time I see it. I usually enjoy flower arranging and I’m also good at horseback riding.”

Rize must have been surprised by Lin’s spirit of taking first place for the third year in a row, and she muttered as she watched Lin make a winning run.

Actually, I find that fascinating too. She is the daughter of the Yorun family that runs the merchant, and her club is also a gardening club. Rin is a kind-hearted person with a strong intellectual image. When she sees Rin galloping around in her riding clothes, she can’t help but feel something strange.

Of course, to put it nicely, it can be said to be both civil and military, so I don’t dislike it. If her lover she is good, she will be happy.

– Irina Jorun wins the opening match, putting the Empire ahead!

‘No shit.’

Meanwhile, the announcement made the atrocity of mentioning Lin’s nationality her rather than her her class her her her.

I’m already going crazy because the Empire is interfering with the Armain-Juvenian rivalry, but if you emphasize nationality there, you’re just adding fuel to the fire.

‘Is that guy also from the Empire?’

Yes, the host making the announcement is probably a loyal imperial citizen who was captivated by Ainter’s declaration of victory. It will definitely happen.

Otherwise, this atrocity cannot be explained. If that broadcast came from the mouth of a foreigner, it was the action of a Frach trying to cause trouble at the Imperial Academy.

“Brother.”

“I’m fine.”

As soon as Rize carefully held my hand, she reflexively opened her mouth.

“I haven’t said anything yet…”

But it was too reflexive. To the extent that it is not okay for anyone to see.

“It’s Rize.”

“Yes, brother.”

“If you suddenly don’t see me, just assume I’m on probation.”

Rize couldn’t say anything at those words.

It looks like he’s busy remembering the nightmare of the year before last.

***

I checked the report posted by the minister several times.

“Ha.”

Soon a short burst of laughter broke out. I never imagined something like this would happen.

‘I can’t believe Ainter is at the forefront.’

This is a truly unexpected situation. When Dorgos, who is not even worthy of the title 2nd Prince, was alive, he lived in silence, pushed aside by Dorgos, and after I became the crown prince, Ainter watched me as if he were dead. That Ainter stepped in front of the nobles and became a focal point?

‘You don’t care anymore.’

It’s something I’m willing to do. Ainter, who was worried that he might lose his life at any moment, finally stood up with his own will. To Ainter, I am no longer just an emperor, not a monster aiming for his head

Of course, the name emperor is not something to be taken lightly, so he will still keep an eye on me, but it will be more comfortable than being watched by a would-be murderer.

‘We are moving forward little by little like this.’

As Ainter gradually becomes a normal royal family, we may not be able to become close brothers, but we will be able to become a normal family. He will be able to be a good uncle to the Crown Princess.

Even if you are in a situation where you have left everything and moved on, you will be able to unburden your heart just a little bit.

…

‘Hmm.’

After this brief review, I looked through the report again. Regardless of personal wishes, as this is a report hastily uploaded by the minister, it must be seriously checked and guidelines issued.

‘I don’t think anything will happen.’

However, no matter how I look at it, I don’t think there is any need for me to intervene.

Imperial students rose to victory? If they were rioting to expel students from other countries, we would have to intervene, but these are ordinary students who rose up to win at an official academy event. What is so wrong with being enthusiastic about academy events as a student? Rather, we should praise those who are trying to raise the name of the empire.

However, as the minister worried, there may be conflicts due to the students’ excessive passion, but that can be tolerated.

‘As long as the royal family doesn’t get hurt.’

The purpose of the Minister’s presence at the Academy is ‘maintaining security at the Academy for the safety of key figures from other countries’, not ‘maintaining the safety of the Academy’ itself. Even if an accident occurs where students fight with each other, it doesn’t matter as long as the royal family is not involved.

And although it may be a bit extreme, there is a saying that children grow up through fighting.

***

As always, the emperor provoked me rather than helped me.

– My juniors want to graduate with beautiful memories, so it is not my duty as a senior to dissuade them from doing so.

“Your Majesty. I am not your senior.”

– Oh my, it was like that. Jim was mistaken for a moment.

You damn b*stard.

A twinge of lust lingered in my mouth. This guy must be doing this on purpose.

– And isn’t the class competition a tradition of the academy that is held every year, and students who are not outsiders participate with enthusiasm?

However, at the emperor’s next words, I had no choice but to swallow back the double curse that was about to come out of my mouth.

That is correct. The class competition is not a sudden event, and the participants are students who have always been at the academy. This means that they are elements that are strictly under the management of the academy and the empire.

But the empire intervenes because such factors cannot be properly controlled? At best, it could be a blemish on the status of the Academy and the Empire, which had been raised to the highest level.

– Of course, it would be unfortunate for VIPs from other countries to get caught up in events in their own country and get hurt. I believe the Minister will do well in that regard.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Don’t worry.”

Just before I lowered my head towards the communication port, I met the emperor’s eyes staring at me.

And the look in his eyes was like, ‘The accident that happened when you gave away Prince Armain was bigger than any accident during the anti-war war.’ It seemed like he was swearing.

‘Damn.’

This is why people should not live in sin. Just looking at it stings me.

It was the second day of the anti-war war.

“The Empire! The Empire that stands above all! The Empire that is stronger than anyone else!”

“You, Armain! Show the bravery of a lion!”

“It is wisdom, not force, that changes the world! Juven’s wise men move toward the future!”

Group cheering songs that had never been seen before began to appear.

‘Wow.’

I feel dizzy. Due to that cheering song, even the simple spectators who did not participate in the game were eroded by the madness of the anti-anti-match match.

In addition, there were some unsophisticated cheerleaders at the forefront. These are more serious than you can imagine.

“Minister…”

While I was watching the frantic cheering scene with a small sigh, a purple retriever suddenly approached me.

“Well… If I drop out now, will you give me a letter of recommendation…?”

With quite a heartbreaking question.

“…If you last until graduation, I will take responsibility and support you.”

“Ugh…”

In the end, a slight moisture was seen in the purple retriever’s eyes. I feel uneasy because I feel like I made Titi cry.

But really, once you graduate, I will push you wherever you go. I have that much power.
