Chapter 505 – 41. Dezac Empire – Imperial Academy (2)

“Then see you later.”

“Yes. I’ll see you next time.”

Elim Lacoco had a friendly conversation with 6th Princess Evangeline.

She gave a light bow to Valdez and quickly disappeared.

Evangeline, who was having a pleasant conversation with Elim, showing off her friendship with her, was restless and embarrassed as if she had forgotten Valdes. I tried not to show it in my own way, but as before, it was clearly visible in Valdez’s eyes in his.

“You must be close with Miss Elim.”

“Uh, that’s…”

Evangeline is unable to readily answer even the question of her friendship with her.

Guessing the reason, he shrugged her shoulders.

“I know about Ms. Elim’s circumstances. I also know her last name for her.”

“Oh, is that so?”

It is Elim who hides her last name her and lives in her academy dormitory.

The Rakoko family even produced generals in the military, but they are only viscounts from Korea and America.

Because of this, many people know her first and last name of her, but don’t know her real face of her.

Elim took full advantage of that and hid her origins her.

“Then it’s fortunate. Miss Elim is from there, right? That’s why we’ve had a little relationship since childhood.”

“I see. There are many cases like that among aristocratic families.”

“Yes. But how did Valdes-san get along with Elim…?”

It’s been a little over a month since Valdes came to the Empire.

It’s her who heard her circumstances. Since her place of residence her is Hwangseong, it is not easy to break her face her with her even if she overheard it by chance. Since the big fight her with her father her, Elim didn’t go to the imperial castle, let alone the military, and she stayed at the academy all the time.

Valdez told Evangeline the half-truth.

A bond through Yueli, the elemental mage of the former warrior party.

At his explanation her, her 6th princess immediately nodded her head.

“That’s right. Come to think of it, Elim was like Professor Madruna’s assistant.”

The reason why Elim’s father was putting pressure on the academy even though he had applied for being like an assistant instead of a teaching assistant.

With the intention of preventing her daughter from converting there at all, it is difficult for Yuel Lee to do anything within the Empire. What she has is her power her, not her power her, but she hides even that.

However, Elim and Yueli are not the people who will follow that kind of meekly, and they don’t care about the academy’s application for teaching assistants being rejected. Elim said her financial situation her was stable because Yu Eli’s money was enough for her expenses her.

“Thanks to that, I only learned a little about my face her, well.”

“Aha.”

Evangeline was relieved.

I wanted to, but neither Elim nor Valdes seemed interested in each other.

If there were more competitors here, I would have struggled, but it’s really fortunate.

Contrary to the princess’ expectations, however, Valdes was very interested in Elim.

Contrary to her concerns about her, she was thinking of using Evangeline as a means to get acquainted with Elim.

‘Looking at it earlier, they seemed quite friendly.’

Contrary to their friendly attitude, they hurriedly disappeared without much conversation, but that must be because of their known identities.

He does not disclose his family name and lives like a commoner scholarship student. Now, he is somehow disguised, but even a little bit of interest will quickly reveal his true identity.

He probably backed off immediately because he was concerned about it, and the 6th princess must have sent her friend her.

‘Hmm. Unlike Wilhelmina or Theresia, she seems to have a good personality and she seems to have a lot of connections… ?’

Networking.

He is what we need to bring down the Dezac Empire right now.

However, it is impossible with two reliable allies within the system.

The rest of them, including Natalie, the owner of the mage tower, and Theresia, the 4th princess, who have just started building friendships, are also having a hard time. They are not yet in a position to openly ask for someone to introduce them, and they also have a narrow network.

However, her sixth princess, Evangeline, looked distinctly different.

‘I should use it.’

There is no hesitation in taking advantage of her.

Valdez was determined to be nicer to her in the future.

“Ah, advanced military strategy is over there in the classroom. I have to go this way…”

“Sorry, but we have to break up.”

“Hehe. I see.”

When Valdez, who has kept a subtle distance so far, tells her that she regrets it, Evangeline smiles wryly.

She hurriedly corrects her expression when she realizes the idea could make it seem like she’s glad they broke up.

Laughing at his dumbfounded appearance of her, Valdez greeted the princess and turned her back after saying see you next time.

‘I thought what if I followed the lecture, but fortunately that’s not the case.’

I don’t particularly want to listen to the advanced military strategy lecture, but it is one of the lectures that have the potential to meet my goal.

If you expect too much, you could be disappointed, and the possibility wasn’t very high, but I just changed my mind. It was because he happened to encounter the target, Elim, in the vicinity. Elim was heading toward Hakhak-dong, so I was a little excited.

And the results were beyond expectations.

“Oh?”

Elim, who was going to the bathroom, was taken aback when he saw Valdes again.

“Hey, how is this… ?”

“I’d like to listen to a lecture.”

As she glanced at the classroom door right next to her, Elim nodded her head with an ah, ah.

“Would you like to listen to Elim’s advanced military strategy?”

“Swing…”

For some reason, Elim is restless and looks at him.

It’s strange that she would n’t even know that he knew her own circumstances of her.

‘What?’

The answer was readily apparent.

“Nice to meet you, gentlemen. This instructor…”

‘Aha.’

Yueli was not very interested in the other professors, so I hadn’t heard detailed information.

However, I would never have thought that the professor giving the advanced military strategy lecture was from the military.

Judging by his tone of his, it seemed that he had been in the military for a long time and had just recently been discharged. In particular, he looked towards Elim throughout the self-introduction, probably because he was acquainted with Elim’s father her.

Still, the professor made an effort to scan the entire classroom in his own way. However, if you were a student who did not know Elim’s background, you could see the professor’s attitude clearly.

‘This is fun.’

Even if you pretend, the lecture doesn’t seem to be interesting.

The face of the professor, self-proclaimed instructor, standing at the podium was full of desire.

Especially in the gaze towards Elim.

Judging by the appearance of a man in his late 30s, he probably wasn’t aiming for romance or sexuality, so I thought there was only one thing left.

Straight away job.

The instructor seemed to want his father to use Elim, the general, to get back into the Imperial Army. If that’s the case, it must mean he wasn’t discharged through normal procedures. However, the fact that he took office as a regular professor at the academy means that he has his own background.

‘It’s fun. I thought he was one of the common professors, but unexpectedly, if you brush your back, something might come out.’

Luck follows

I had no choice but to think so, and the board was being made.

A small smile on Valdez’s lips.

Elim, who happened to be sitting next to him, glanced at him and whispered in a small whisper.

“I haven’t started the lecture yet, but you seem to like it.”

“Yes? Ah, what. First of all, your career looks splendid.”

It was the time when the instructor was explaining his military career his for a long time.

At Valdes’ excuse, Elim subtly nodded his head after making a subtly pained sound.

“That’s right. Looking at his career, he’s a competent person, but…”

“Huh? Do you know someone?”

“No, no. No way. No way. It’s not like that, it’s just…”

Elim began to spare his words again, perhaps realizing that he had made a mistake.

If so, why did you say that?

“I’m close with the princess, so maybe we know each other.”

“…”

When I brought up the matter from earlier, Elim fell silent.

And after a short thought, he cautiously spoke again.

“Hey, Mr. Valdes.”

“Yes.”

“Have you… Heard? My circumstances.”

“What’s the matter?”

“… Please tell me if you know it. There is only one anyway.

“Hehe, it’s a secret.”

“No, why keep that a secret…”

Elim grumbled at the answer that no one would like to hear.

This ambiguous answer is one of the things she hates the most.

Thanks to that, I was more concerned about Valdes, who I didn’t want to be close to.

‘Ugh. Looking at the relationship with Professor Yu Eli at that time, I think she might have heard from the professor…. The professor is not one to speak carelessly of other people’s circumstances…. But if you look at the attitude…. Then maybe Evangeline… ? But Eva doesn’t really have that kind of personality…. Ugh….’

Elim grunted in pain at how lost she was in her thoughts.

She sat in the back, but she was making quite a bit of noise, so her instructor could have pointed it out, but her instructor her struggled to turn away from her. Still, pointing out the slightest chatter from other students supported Valdez’s idea.

About an hour of useless self-explanation.

And an hour-long tasting lecture that was surprisingly not bad.

Two hours later, Valdez left the classroom.

“Are you listening to the lecture, Miss Elim?”

“Yes? Me?”

“Then, is there another Miss Elim?”

“… Why are you curious about that?”

“Still, it’s better to have someone you know than to listen alone. Even though you only attend one semester.”

“Um…”

Elim ran away from home to become an elementalist and attends the academy.

However, her blood doesn’t go anywhere. She is also interested in strategy and tactics like her father her.

To this day, she continued to take lectures in this field, and she hoped to learn even before graduation.

Unfortunately, I don’t like this instructor, but the lecture isn’t that bad either. Shouldn’t we listen to the deepening military strategy just because of the instructor’s attitude and the suspicious Valdes? Her troubles her were short-lived.

“I’m going to listen.”

“Oh. That’s great.”

Seeing Valdes delighted, Elim was wary of him.

‘Once you apply, if you don’t want to come out, it’s okay.’

Kang Yu-ri compared her Imperial Academy to the Earth University she attended, but there are actually more differences.

Even if she gives up one subject, it won’t hurt her graduation. She has enough credits from the lectures she has learned so far, and she has already met the minimum number of lectures she has to take per semester.

“That’s right. It’s only one subject, but please take good care of me for half a year.”

“Ha ha, yes.”

Elim held out her hand to him and shook it, as was her custom her.

What’s the problem with just one subject?

But moments later, Elim’s face her wrinkled as she ran into him at another lecture.

“Why… Are you here?”

“That’s Yueli’s lecture.”

“…”

Three out of seven.

As a result, it was the number of lectures that the two overlapped.
