Chapter 125 – #124 One Thing I Learned From My Body
“The sun is setting.”
In front of the entrance to the secret passage, Kindre muttered softly as he looked at the sun setting over the mountain.
According to my calculations, dusk will set and darkness will fall in less than an hour.
Look around.
The entire area is covered with dense trees.
The secret passage led to a small forest located around the capital.
As a result, he was able to escape from the capital without being caught by anyone, but the problem came next.
‘What should we do with them?’
I actually ordered him to transfer, but there is no place else to put him.
– What about the Church of Light?
‘The temple has everything, including lodging and food.’
– Then you can just do it.
‘That’s because I don’t have a temple like this yet.’
– Ah. Is that also true?
Above all, since my denomination was not yet known, I had to cover the expenses solely with my own funds.
Still, since we have Albert’s property right now, we can do anything.
I carry Albert’s things on my back and look at my followers who are smiling brightly at me.
Haha… Looking at those smiling faces, it’s not a good idea to let them go just to live a good life.
While thinking about it carefully, a method came to mind.
‘Let’s go.’
– Where?
‘Kale Cranberry. To the territory of the owner of this body.’
Cranberry family.
A family that rose from commoners to nobility in recognition of its achievements when the previous emperor was in power.
The feat refers to rescuing a prince trapped in the middle of enemy lines and safely returning to the empire… Making something literally impossible possible.
And that prince grows up to become an emperor.
That was the current emperor of the empire, Kravis de Kshanberg.
However, wherever you go, there is bound to be territoriality…
No matter how much of a contribution the Crinberry family made, they ultimately received only a shabby piece of land due to the sanctification of the existing nobles.
A territory that is only half the size of an ordinary baron’s territory.
A location where a pile of stones comes out when you dig the ground and no commercial district is formed.
The land ruled by the Crinberry family was such a useless land.
‘I said there was nothing to make money from.’
It was a territory created arbitrarily by taking small amounts from the three surrounding territories, and this incident occurred because only worthless land was given away.
The nobles who made it a territory or the emperor who gave permission. Well…
The only bit of consolation was that you could reach the capital in three days by riding a horse.
– Ha… This is something we as demons cannot understand. How about just starting a war right now? Yeongjijeon? Huh?
‘Unfortunately, Yeongjijeon was banned 100 years ago.’
If it really worked, I would have tried it right away.
I walked quickly and crossed the threshold of the academy.
As I keep running, I can see the administrative office building in the distance.
– But why are you here now?
‘Everyone in the academy must report in advance wherever they go. Coming up from Florian and going down to my territory. If I report it, I’ll be able to find it easily if someone is looking for me in a hurry.’
I went into the administration office and told the staff that I was going down to my hometown and coming back.
However, the faculty member who heard the story said.
“Wait a moment. Some people asked me to let you know when the Baron is leaving.”
“Huh? These people…?”
No way… I have a gut feeling that it’s cheap.
This chill running up my spine.
I was convinced when I saw that the employee even used that precious magic tool to contact me.
– Light years from the cow. There’s nothing to see.
And the prediction was accurate.
The Dajjagojja employee made a puzzled expression and stopped me in front of the video screen.
An attractive woman with blood-red hair raises her index finger at me and shouts.
“Kale. Just wait there! I’m leaving now!”
“Ha… Haha…”
And then the next phone call.
I was led again by the staff and had to sit back in front of the screen.
In front of her, a woman was having her pink hair combed by her maid, staring at me with her half-open eyes.
“Where are you planning to go at this late hour?”
“Well… I have to go back to my hometown urgently.”
“In a hurry?”
“Yes…”
“Then I’ll get ready and go, so you can wait there.”
“…”
– I hope our Aslan is popular~
So I ended up waiting aimlessly for the two women in the administrative office.
***
“Raina. Well… The Empress is meeting the Prince…”
A maid approaches and carefully tells the story.
She wanted to come up from Florian and talk to her mother about the great things she had experienced there, but her mother seemed to value the time she spent with her brother during her vacation more than herself, who had gone to another place.
“It’s okay. I just made an appointment.”
“Raina…”
“Mary. I’m really fine. Well, today isn’t the first time something like this has happened.”
It’s always been like that since I had a younger brother.
All of her attention and love was directed to her younger brother.
It’s not just her mother’s story. So were all her subjects who followed her.
Well, when I was young, I was very upset and disgusted by that, but now I understand.
She should place her hopes on her brother rather than on herself, because the more likely she is to have power, the more likely she is to have a future.
“Mary, you too, hurry up and get ready.”
“But where are we going this late at night… I wonder…?”
“Hmm. Let’s go quickly.”
The maid smiles.
The princess tried to avoid her gaze and straightened her hair.
Seeing this, Mary quickly approaches and assists and asks.
“Then shall we finish it in 2 hours?”
“Hmm… 2 hours isn’t enough, so let’s take a bath and make it 3 hours.”
“Then, if you’re going out for a drink at night, you should pay more attention to your accessories. How about 3 and a half hours?”
“It seems okay.”
A story is being told that would make the waiting party faint if they heard it.
So the princess went into the shower room to wash.
And a similar incident was happening on Hadrens Street as well.
“So where are you going now?”
Bella smiles and answers the question of Fellermil, the head of the Hadrence family.
“Yes. Cale said he was going back to his hometown. So I’m going to follow him.”
“Hehe. Is that Baron that good?”
“Why are you asking the obvious? I can’t do it without her? I’m going to marry her and have children. So just cooperate, grandpa.”
A look of bewilderment appeared on Duke Fellermil’s face.
I expected that I would get married the way I wanted because I was originally selfish, but…
‘Well, the abilities and talents didn’t seem to be bad.’
First, the first head of the family wasn’t bad at all, so the bloodline won’t go anywhere.
The recent actions within the Academy are not bad either.
Above all, I know fractions. He’s quick-witted.
Fellermill evaluated the behavior shown the first time the three of them and Bella met together very favorably.
‘In politics, it’s all about quick thinking and knowing where to turn.’
If you do just that well, your family will not sink and disappear overnight.
To be honest, I felt a little uneasy about being involved with the 3rd princess… But I didn’t think I had to worry.
The power of the Third Empress is really worthless.
“Then I’ll be back~”
After putting on her clothes roughly, Feller Mill quickly stopped her when she saw her granddaughter leaving dressed like her husband.
Then she called her maids.
“Ah, there’s no need to decorate! I have to go see the kale quickly!”
“Bella.”
“I want to see Kale quickly. I want to see it quickly!”
“Listen to this quote. A man will not turn his head to the other side only if the woman is dressed up nicely.”
Then, Bella, who was making a fuss as if she would turn her mansion into a sea of fire, suddenly became quiet.
Her head suddenly turns, and her blue eyes stare directly at the duke.
“… Really?”
“Gorum! When did you see this lady tell a lie?”
Turn your head.
“So… Come on, let’s take a shower first.”
“I understand!”
Just like that, Bella also went into the shower room to wash.
Cale, who didn’t know that, sat in the administrative office and waited endlessly for the two women.
‘It’ll come soon, right?’
– From what I can see, I doubt it will come within today.
‘No way… You saw Bella shouting that she was leaving right away.’
Veres sighed deeply toward her partner, who only knew the woman’s body and knew nothing about her psychology.
And then he gave her some practical advice for her poor life.
– Believe this sister, go to your dorm right now, sleep, and wait. At least 3 hours.
‘Ah… That can’t be…’
– If you believe me, rice cakes will fall even while you sleep. Huh?
But Kale doesn’t believe that.
Perez decided to just leave this stubborn thing alone.
You have to experience something big at least once to learn properly.
And in the end, as Beres expected, he was able to meet Bella after waiting in the administrative department for a whopping four hours.
Bella appeared beautifully dressed as if she was going to a party.
Kale laughs in despair at that sight.
– Next time, listen to me.
‘Yes, sister…’
But the other one hasn’t arrived yet…
Cale went to the dorm with Bella and pounded rice cake for about an hour. And only after that was she able to meet the princess.
The time was exactly 00:02 midnight.
As Perez said, he did not appear within the same day.
‘Women’s waiting time is at least 3 hours… 4 o’clock at the most…’
Cale stood between the two women, escorting them at the same time, and imprinted the fact deep in her mind that she had learned with her body.
