627 – It Leaks Even Inside – 3

Villars’ desperate confession had the power to make the listener feel solemn.

What kind of knightly order is the Royal Knights? It is the shield that serves the royal family most closely and the sword that boasts the kingdom’s greatest strength. The pride of belonging to such a royal order of knights is the greatest pride a knight can have, and his loyalty and reverence for the royal family he protects is enormous.

However, no matter how much we are comrades who have been through the same hell for three years, when a foreigner says, ‘Our prince is an b*stard, damn it.’ He brought out the words. And that person is the vice-captain.

‘It would be great.’

Usually, when a subject is rude to the royal family, they are blamed. However, if an eternal loyalist criticizes the royal family, it is the royal family’s fault.

Villar is closer to the latter of the two cases. The Villar I saw was a loyalist who tried not to tarnish the name of the Royal Knights, no matter the hardships. The loyalist says his royal family has become strange and he is asking for advice from a foreigner.

‘I don’t know what to do.’

The problem is that despite Villar’s great determination his, there is no way for me to help him.

Am I controlling Lyutis’ behavior? Ryutis is a guy who was never under my control from the 1977 season to the 1979 season. Not to mention the rampage in 1977, isn’t the fact that it became relatively quiet thanks to being dumped by Rize? My influence is minimal.

But does that stop Ryutis’ trolling? This was possible by anxiously monitoring the members 24 hours a day, and now there is a border wall between me and Ryutis.

From the moment we graduated from the academy, Lyutis and I were not advisors and students, but imperial officials and Armain royals. It is said that if imperial officials intervene in Lyutis’ actions, it will lead to diplomatic problems.

‘No one knows that.’

I felt even more sorry. How on earth must I be upset…

“Sir Villars. I don’t know what happened in Armain, but I know how hard you worked. The Sir I saw during this time was a man who would not give in to any hardships.”

– That’s too much praise.

“That is why I am aware that your contacting me was a last resort. You are not the kind of person who will lend a hand to others just because you are in a bit of trouble.”

At my words, Villar nodded his head with a bitter expression.

Okay, this is a last resort. Villar said with his own mouth that he had tried to handle it in his own way, and he declared that it was not a problem he could solve. There is nothing more Villar can do.

“But Sir Villars, I am sorry that I cannot repay your trust, but I am not qualified to contact you now. “I am no longer my student.”

– No matter how much you graduate, the love of a priest is—

“In that sense, the principal of the Imperial Academy stands above the empire. Just because he was a teacher, he should not carelessly intervene in the affairs of students who graduated.”

There was no rebuttal to the firm line drawn. Villar knows deep down that he is being unreasonable.

To be honest, it is very rare for someone who was a priest to maintain a friendship even after graduation. From the teacher’s point of view, there are hundreds of students every year, and from the disciple’s point of view, it is just one of dozens of teachers that they have met over the past three years.

Moreover, I was not a formal teacher but an advisor to the club. It’s embarrassing to call this a relationship between priests.

“So let me tell you a better way.”

Therefore, I have to introduce Villar to someone else than me.

– A good method, you say?

“Yes. It will probably be more certain than if I come forward.”

With those words, I told Villar the unique number of a certain communication district.

The communication district’s unique number of a man who is the second son of a certain imperial family, the youngest member of a certain council, and has two undeserving fiancees.

“A teacher who interferes with a student who has graduated is ugly, but isn’t a close friend who sends a message to a estranged friend beautiful?”

-Your Excellency. No way…

“If it is a contact from a close friend, it will be a good stimulus for His Majesty Liu Tice.”

Then Villar, who was silent for a moment, quickly wrote down the unique number I told him on a piece of paper.

With this, Erich became a big man who could make a direct phone call to the vice-captain of the Armain Royal Knights.

– Thank you, Your Excellency. I will not forget this grace.

“Haha, is there anything that can be called grace between me and Sir? Don’t take it too seriously.”

He let out a slightly embarrassed smile towards Villar, who lowered his head. This is not a grace, but a more appropriate expression is bombing.

Still, Ryutis and Erich both exploded inside me in 1977, so I believe this is a righteous bomb attack.

“Wow, I passed it on to my younger brother.”

I assumed I didn’t hear Eri muttering behind me. This is righteous bomb spinning.

“That’s right, brother. I heard that Ryutis might get engaged or get married?”

And Erich was guilty of using his mouth without care long ago.

Engagement and marriage are nonsense. The vice-captain of the Royal Knights is even contacting me, asking me to save him.

***

Today, again, I took over the work of the National Assembly.

It’s sad. Just because I am the youngest, most of the documents in existence in Congress are gathered in my office. If I were an administrative official, I could be promoted and have subordinates, but this Imperial Council has no concept of promotion. In order for someone below me to be created, an existing member of the National Assembly must retire.

And unfortunately, resigning from a position as a member of the Imperial Diet is only possible with the permission of His Majesty the Emperor. It is unlikely that there will be any retirees for at least 10 to 20 years.

‘The youngest member lived for 10 years.’

I feel like crying. It’s a shame that Bia helped me out, but I wonder what it would have been like if Bia hadn’t been there.

‘What?’

While I was desperately feeling the importance of someone close to me, the communication port emitted an intense light.

Now, when the communication port works, I can’t help but sigh. 99% of contacts received during this time are business-related. However, I am afraid of the consequences if I ignore it.

“This is Erich Crasius of Hardiner, Acting Councilor.”

Therefore, I activated the communication port with a bitter feeling,

-Long time no see. Baron Hardiner.

“Lord Villar?”

I saw the face of an unexpected person.

As Sir Villars said, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but that face and voice are Sir Villars. The memories of the three years at the Academy were too strong for me to forget Sir Villar in just one year.

‘…What is it?’

It was nice to see it, but it was perplexing. I would have thought so if Lyutis had contacted me through my communication channel, but I never imagined that Lord Villar would contact me.

“Nice to meet you. I thought I would never see you again, but it seems Enen found our relationship beautiful.”

However, I quickly pushed aside my embarrassment and smiled.

It’s surprising, but it’s not something I would be reluctant to contact. If it’s a contact from a foreigner, at least it’s not to pass on work. I am not in charge of foreign affairs, so there is no way Sir Villar would have contacted me for business reasons.

─, I was mistaken for a moment.

“Yes?”

– It’s exactly as you heard.

Until Sir Villar said that Lyutis had regained his original intention.

‘What is that?’

The hand holding the communication device trembled. Ryutis’ initial intention is not a good initial intention.

It was the ugliest time for the five club members, including me. A foolish time when I was blinded by love and didn’t know how to achieve love. If I could go back to that time, I would worry about plucking out my eyes or kicking my third leg.

Those days when I was afraid of appearing in my dreams were Ryutis’s original intentions.

‘If I go back, will I go back to that time?’

Not even a laugh comes out. While Ainter and I found a partner, someone else is regressing alone.

…

‘But why?’

Eventually, a question arose that I could not suppress.

It is true that it is a terrible thing that Ryutis regains his original intention. Even I, who is busy with work, has stopped signing and is seriously fiddling with the communication port.

But I don’t know why Lord Villars is saying this to me. No, if you want to raise a problem, it’s a problem to know my communication port number…

-Actually, I initially contacted His Excellency, Count Tyglehen, but his Excellency said that it would be better to ask for help from his close friend, the Baron.

‘This is crazy.’

I bit my lip when I heard that his brother had sold me again.

I feel resentful. It’s not enough to put her younger brother in the council, but you’re also passing on the work of a foreign prince?

‘And you’re still a human?’

Of course, it is unclear whether a person who cuts the sky with a sword can be called a person.

– I apologize for dragging the Baron, who is a foreigner, into our country’s affairs. However, while the Baron, who is a close friend of yours, has met a great partner and is preparing to start a family, my Majesty is going alone in another direction, so as a subject, I cannot bear to stay still.

“I understand, I understand. If you are the one watching, you can do that.”

Regardless of his resentment her toward her toward his her brother her her her, this is sincere. Even I, who simply heard the news through a communication channel, was dizzy, so Sir Villar’s shock would be even more severe.

‘They say they might get engaged or married soon.’

And seeing Sir Villar looking haggard, resentment towards Tanian began to well up.

Apparently, Tanian had said that Lyutis might get engaged or get married. That was only a few weeks ago.

Confusing. Is Tanian a swindler, or has Lyutis gone back to his original state in the past few weeks? Or maybe Lyutis was crazy from the beginning and Thanian was mistaken…

Either way, it’s a headache.

With his head pounding, he contacted Liu Tis.

– Oh, Erich! It’s been a while!

A cheerful expression greeted me, just like I saw at the academy, but it wasn’t particularly welcoming. I didn’t contact you for good business, so how can I be happy?

‘This is the first conversation since graduation.’

It’s bitter. At least the reunion with Tanian was peaceful and harmonious.

– But what happened?

“Did you contact me when I was busy?”

– Haha, not that! But just because I miss you doesn’t mean I’m the type of person to call you just because we haven’t seen each other in a year. Of course, I have some business to do.

“Well, that’s true.”

While thinking about what to say, I let out a small sigh.

“I contacted you because I heard you went back to your b*stard days four years ago. I thought I would win outright if we sparred now.”

And after much thought, I decided to just say it out loud. I can hear you acting like an b*stard even across the border.

– …What?

Liu Tis asked back with a blank expression, but he looked at me as if he was wondering what to do.

What the fuck. If I tell you, will you come across the border?

When he comes, I will immediately run away to my brother’s mansion. Then, even though I will be beaten, Ryutis, who has regained his original intention, will be beaten even more.
