Chapter 140 – Episode 131 – Are the Rumors About Roman True?

* Episode 131 – Are the rumors about Roman true?

Two days later, Servilia walked down the main street of the Academy with a distraught expression.

He came all the way to the Neutral City Academy to get some air, but he looked uncomfortable, as if his teeth were covered in steam. To relieve my mood, I drank a shake sold at a street vendor, but I was only able to relieve my mood with sugar for a very short time.

‘What should I do next?’

The plan of my father, King Remerus.

The plan is to kill Roman, weaken the Cornelius family, and absorb them all into the royal family.

‘Well, I had no intention of opposing it at first. I was actually impressed that my father was so passionate. But… ‘

After talking in the main banquet hall two days ago, I started shaking.

‘… If he had no ill will towards Senia or me, would it really be right to follow my father’s wishes and suppress him?’

The reason why Servilia followed Remerus ‘her will her her was because Roman had evil intentions toward her and was trying to antagonize the royal family… Now that premise has collapsed and I was confused for a moment.

Still, he has a personality full of justice and loyalty. She lends her hand to Chang Nara’s salvation and is grateful to her friend Sun-ho for helping her. She’s a complete novice when it comes to dating. Since she is a childhood friend of Tania, she is also in fact a widow, so she also has some desire for that part 〈 and dating men and women 〉.

‘If he is not hostile, there is no need for him to use this method… It would be better to get engaged again and solidify the relationship… No, is that unreasonable? They had already taken Tania as their concubine, and I had publicly criticized Roman and dissolved her engagement. ‘

He knows very well how shameless he would be if he brought up the topic of his engagement.

A politician with an iron face might have been able to do it, but unfortunately, Servilia was not suited to such tactics.

‘But wouldn’t it be difficult to convince my father?’

I shook my head.

‘From what I heard, it seemed like he had a deep resentment toward the Cornelius family. It is clear that something has happened to the former head of the family, Marcus.’

She must have had plenty of time, she regretted later, that she should have kept the story in that direction.

‘… Roman. Why did she say that? If you had been a cool villain, I would have been able to subdue you in a good mood. Or is that even an operation? Are you trying to trick me into doing something bad again?’

Still not a good guy… We continued to evaluate him.

‘The problem is that if you want to make me angry by exposing women and behaving as you please, you are acting so well that you forget about it… Aside from the subjugation of Shetka and the salvation of the Chang Dynasty, the same goes for clearing out territory and establishing relationships with Chappell. There’s something different compared to the Roman I remember… ‘

I was close to the correct answer, but I shook my head, wondering if the person had changed.

“…Or maybe I just didn’t have the eyes for people. If I had disciplined him and taught him properly instead of kicking him, wouldn’t he have become a better person? If I had, the engagement wouldn’t have ended and I wouldn’t have had to worry about this…”

I stroked the sword on my belt.

The spirit sword received from Remerus.

It has the effect of perm that breaks a curse, so it is a dangerous weapon that can deal a fatal blow to Roman.

‘It’s such a mean feeling… ‘ If I have grounds to subdue Roman, I want to deal with Lululala. Rather, if I can reconcile with him, I want to catch the case and put an end to the story. I think I have feelings for both, but even from my perspective, I have no spine… ‘

Therefore, a basis for judgment was needed.

Is Roman really an evil that needs to be defeated? Or is it a colleague who can hold hands…

“—Ah! Servilia!”

“Hmm?”

Stop worrying about that for a moment. A group of women approaching from afar. They wore robes that covered their bodies and had an emblem that revealed their family name, so it was clear at a glance that they were a family that followed Servilia herself.

“Is it you guys… What are you doing here at a time like this?”

“That’s what we’re talking about! Servilia, who should be looking at government affairs, is here at the academy!”

“How happy I was when I saw her face in the banquet hall ~!”

“It was a bit unfortunate that I couldn’t talk to you back then!”

“… I guess that was it. I’m sorry I didn’t notice.”

“No, we’re not that big of a family.”

“I’m glad we can meet again! Hehe!”

I was immediately surrounded by a group of women. The girls were happy to meet Servilia and were chatting away, but they actually looked tired. Well, I walked outside because I wanted to be alone with my thoughts, but being surrounded by people made me feel very uncomfortable inside.

“Did that person participate in the Colosseum?”

“No. I came to watch it because it was a long-awaited competition.”

“It was amazing that so many men came from all over to show off their skills… !”

“Oh. Was it a martial arts battle between master and servant? I remember it because it had a unique purpose, but was it really that great?”

“Yes. As expected, Roman and Cornelius also participated, which was eye-catching, but even taking that into account, it was a match worth watching!”

‘Roman?’

But even the annoyance disappeared with just one word.

I still wanted to hear about him, so I listened and took a peek.

“Oh. Judging by that reaction, it looks like you’ve done something again?”

“Well, that’s natural. He’s that bad boy.”

“He brought the woman back in tatters again… I was in tears just looking at her!”

“The fact that they can do something like that to a human body is proof that they are beasts.”

“Hmm… “

Their testimony continues.

It was painful just to look at the white-haired beauty as a shield, to have a slave take her all of her attacks, and to see the burn marks and piercings on her body her her her, as well as the number of words insulting the woman with the iron.

Then, suddenly, Servilia’s eyes narrowed as she testified, “I think I saw it at the banquet hall.”

‘White hair… Is she the woman she saw back then? But it’s strange. That woman, she was so kind to me… ‘

She was asking questions to find out about Roman, but she couldn’t understand anything further.

“… Where did Roman go?”

“Well, since the finals are over, you probably didn’t go somewhere, right?”

“It makes me feel bad to think I have to look like that during tournaments… “

“Why do they from the Chang Dynasty have a man like that… “

Mutter mutter… Servilia was also uncertain about her still dissatisfied attitude.

The external information, the story, all point to Perpena being the woman he saw back then.

‘They must have been in love, so why did they do such a cruel thing? Did you cheat?’

He seduces and pleases women who suit his tastes her, then plunges them into her abyss and makes them her her slaves her her her … Like?

She didn’t make any sense, but she felt like the story itself was spinning so she didn’t think it was true.

“Mr. Servilia?”

“Are you worried about something?”

“No, nothing… I just wanted to hear more of her story about Roman… “

“Ugh, you mean that guy!”

“Why?!”

“Hohohoho, by any chance, you have a crush on that guy—”

“—Ugh! Wrong! Hmm… Well, what is it? You probably already know that I have a bad relationship with that guy!”

“But two days ago, you bowed your head to him in the grand banquet hall!!”

“There, I expressed my gratitude for saving the Chang Dynasty, but that was a natural human duty. I didn’t particularly reconcile with the guy, so I thought it would be good if I could get some information.”

“Ah, aha… !”

“That’s right~! It’s Servilia!”

“How refreshing it was to see Cornelius kicked in the banquet hall~!”

Everyone was relieved and looked around.

Since it was Roman’s story, he had an unpleasant attitude just by hearing the story, so it seemed like he didn’t know anything else, but that’s why I only asked about bad rumors.

“By the way, have you heard about Dean Liang?”

“… Dean? I would have asked for Roman’s story, right?”

“No, I thought it had something to do with it.”

“It’s no different… Now Dean Liang has fallen under someone’s curse and is in a terrible state…”

“… Ah?”

It was my first time hearing this story.

“Oh, I thought you knew?”

“I’m sorry. I might have known if I had brought an attendant, but I just wanted to get some air alone and away from work.”

“So you didn’t hear it?”

“It’s so famous that there’s no one who doesn’t know about it now.”

“… “What kind of story is this?”

At this, everyone started talking.

An incident that happened one day. Realizing that someone from outside has kidnapped the student, Dean Yang goes to the scene himself. However, he was unable to withstand the threat of the student’s life as collateral and suffered humiliation by being forced to fight naked in the basement. Then, his identity was revealed and rumors spread throughout the area, and sure enough, he was even cursed and could not wear clothes …

Anyway, there was no story about Roman and it was a story about Liang being humiliated by someone.

“It’s pitiful. You were born a woman and suffered such insults.”

“Those vulgar men are flirting with Dean Liang, and we women feel so sorry for that.”

“That’s right, even though he worked so hard for the students, he is treated as an exhibitionist because he spends time naked due to a curse…”

As expected, men say things like that and get angry, but Servilia is still just puzzled.

“… What is the connection between that and Roman?”

“That’s it~! That guy is a weirdo who can use curses! He used it several times in this final round and everyone noticed it!”

“I heard that your cursing skills are so great that you were appointed to a professorship!”

“As expected of putting a curse on Dean Liang at this timing… !!”

“… Isn’t that too far of a leap in the story? If it were true, Dean Liang himself wouldn’t be able to stay silent.”

“You said he threatened me?”

“The first method was to kidnap a student and threaten him. Maybe he did it again…”

“That also sounds like an unfounded story.”

“But think about that man’s personality! Isn’t it possible that Dean Yang is a cute girl?!”

“That’s right! I pervert my eyes when I see a woman! I’m sure I was also keeping an eye on Dean Yang!”

‘Uh, um. If you say it like that, it seems like there is some basis… ‘

Even if you try to protect Roman or praise him, there is no way to shield him when it comes to women. In fact, he seemed to have beaten a white-haired beauty with an iron and tattooed words full of insults on her body today, so to be honest, his view of her on women was disgusting.

“Servilia, you think so too, right?!”

“…I understood that it had to happen due to timing and mentality. Now that you say it that way, I don’t think it’s just a rumor.”

Rather, it is strange that it is not.

This is especially true because he is actually the criminal.

“Oh.”

“Where are you going, Servilia?”

“Since we’ve been talking about this for a long time, I thought I’d meet the dean. Maybe I could be of help.”

“Eh~? I thought you would go to the banquet hall together after a long time~!”

“I’m sorry. I have a request from my father and I can’t hang out with a specific group for a long time.”

“Radish… “

“Well, that’s right… I guess so… “

“When I’m done, I’ll go to the banquet hall and see you then.”

“Ah, old times!”

“Then please, I’m sorry for bothering you!”

“Hmm.”

That’s right, the opponent is the first princess. The status of the followers’ families is not that high, so even talking to them is rude unless you are in an academy or something like that. Compared to the Cornelius family, their claws aren’t as good as theirs, and in fact, it’s impossible to even bark in front of them.

‘I’m grateful that you like me, but I’m the type that gets tired if we’re involved for a long time.’

I’m sure he’s the type of person who can talk about everything that isn’t witty. He just left the room, saying that everything was going well.

I went into the learning center where Dean Yang was said to be and headed to the dean’s office.
