A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 423



422 – Scout (4)

I felt sorry for Grace in my heart, but this was not a secret meeting.

It sounds like he drank but didn’t drive, but that’s not true.

Because in this case, the weight of the letter from the Huan Empire was significant.

“······Yerin.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Don’t touch my thighs. That’s harassment.”

Even if we drink together, even if Dan Ye-rin comes up to me and gently caresses my thigh, there is something more important.

Dan Ye-rin snickered at my comment and then expressed her regret. The hand on her thigh remained the same.

“Who told you it was harassment?”

“I learned it.”

“What a pity. I learned even this. But I’m glad.”

She took her hand off my thigh and whispered softly.

“It means you felt lust.”

“··· ···”

“Huh huh.”

It felt more than just a tickle in my ears, it made my eardrums vibrate. My heart pounded a little.

Dan Ye-rin is clearly a fox. Unless the fox disguises itself as a human, this kind of temptation doesn’t make sense.

Actually, they say that if you see a fox’s smile, you’ll be charmed. Now I think I know what that means.

‘You must have lived alone, without a boyfriend or even friends… Is that possible?’

The only word that came to mind was ‘natural talent’. The only consolation is that he has a kind heart.

I thought that if Dan Ye-rin had been a villain, she would have been considered a legendary villainess or witch.

“Okay. Then let’s stop the secret meeting and get to the main point. Did you bring the letter?”

“here.”

The joke ends here. I brought the letter as she said.

All the lights were turned off, but the lamps were still shining brightly. There was no problem reading the letter.

After that, Dan Ye-rin showed various facial expressions, such as frowning or looking puzzled while reading the letter.

“This is······ unexpected. There are a lot of strange parts about it, considering it was sent by my brother.”

“Brother?”

“Do you remember the bodyguard who tried to kill me before? He was my brother’s man.”

“··· ···”

I know. He is a strong candidate to become the next emperor, similar to Karasu.

However, unlike Karas, he is very unstable. Above all, he has a lot of blood on his hands.

That blood did not discriminate between men, women, old or young, or social status, and it was the same even between brothers and sisters.

Dan Ye-rin also almost died by his hand, which is why she ran away to the academy.

“At present, my brother has no need to rely on force. He has already won over two of the three generals.”

As someone once said, power comes from the barrel of a gun.

No matter how great a king may be, if he cannot gain the trust of the military, he is only half a king.

What if there’s a rebellion in the military? If that happens, there’s only so much the king can do.

The fact that two of those military power brokers have been co-opted is essentially game over.

“What about the other one?”

“The other one is not on anyone’s side. He believes that as long as the country is governed well, it doesn’t matter who becomes king.”

It means that they are virtually non-existent. At the same time, they can be game changers.

Looking at the current behavior of the crown prince, it was enough to make one wonder whether he would be a good king.

Of course, even if it is a bloody process, the people can achieve peace in the world. There have been many instances in Earth’s history.

After all, for the people, making a living was more important. In some cases, they didn’t even know who the king was.

‘The biggest thing is that you see it up close.’

A person who commits tyranny is a tyrant. Anyone who watches closely cannot help but think that way.

Moreover, the prince is excellent only at seizing power, but has no political ability.

Why doesn’t one person know about Soul World? The reason is simple.

‘Because I was assassinated by the devil.’

In the midst of the chaos following the collapse of the Academy, what the demons do is simple.

Remove the fingers of a person hanging from a cliff one by one. The moment the person falls, the horrors of war will break out.

The assassination of the crown prince is the very foundation of this. The East is caught up in the horrors of war, and the West is also gradually becoming unstable.

‘But there are no hunters?’

The hunter died when the Lord stabbed him in the heart with his sword. It was believed because the Lord himself testified.

Therefore, the assassination of the crown prince is effectively null and void. No one knows what will happen.

As I was considering the future, Dan Ye-rin, who had been staring at the letter for a while, opened her mouth.

“I guess this letter was sent by one of my brothers or sisters. What a waste of time.”

“Useless thing?”

“From now on, you will be under surveillance. And the brother who sent this letter will die.”

“··· ···”

“But it’s still strange. Why did you send it so blatantly? Even sending someone wouldn’t be enough.”

Dan Ye-rin looked through the letter, wondering if her doubts were still there. In fact, I too was suspicious of that part.

There was no reason for the prince to send it, and it was too obvious for someone else to send it.

It’s the same as telling me to eat shit without saying anything, I said, tilting my head.

“Is it because I’m scared?”

“Phew. That could be possible. We’ll be heading east soon.”

Dan Ye-rin smiled faintly and supported the opinion, saying that it made sense. But the question still remained.

“Are you okay?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“No harm will come to you?”

Although there were many questions, I was more worried about Dan Ye-rin. She had once received an assassination threat.

It’s a good thing I was protecting you, otherwise you wouldn’t be here.

But now that this letter has arrived, there will be a lot of pressure on Dan Ye-rin as well.

“Well, since I’m at the Academy, I can’t do something like that openly. Even if surveillance personnel are dispatched, if I keep quiet, there won’t be a problem.”

“You find it annoying?”

“As expected, you know my heart too well. If I become the emperor, how about welcoming me with a letter of appreciation?”

“Uh······ No. Later.”

I almost accepted the offer, which came as naturally as breathing.

Dan Ye-rin looked at the letter with a look of regret for a moment, then folded it up. It seemed like there was no need to look at it any more.

“I held it to fire and soaked it in water just in case, but there was no reaction. I wonder who sent it.”

“So what should we do now?”

“I think it would be best to do it as usual. If you’re too conscious, strange things might just happen. As for the reply… um… “

Dan Ye-rin was deeply troubled. She was faced with a difficult problem: should she send a reply?

Since the letter was sent from the imperial family of the Huan Empire and not from an individual, a reply can be sent.

But as I said before, there were a lot of parts that were questionable, so I was reluctant.

“······I think it would be better to send it for now. I don’t want to be nitpicky about the rude part, so I’m going to feel bad about it.”

“okay.”

“Do you know the language of the Huan Empire? If not, I can write it for you.”

“Then I’ll be suspected?”

“That’s too bad.”

I think it would be better to just use the official language. If you use the language of the Huan Empire for no reason, it will only make the suspicions stronger.

Anyway, today’s secret meeting(?) ends here. I got up from my seat holding the scroll of letters.

“You.”

“huh?”

“Before you go, can you do me one favor?”

“Please? What please?”

Dan Ye-rin stood up from her seat at my question. As she stood up, I noticed her in her pajamas.

Oriental-style pajamas that reveal all of the curves of her body. Even her hair was left loose, giving off an elegant vibe.

Then she stared at me, smiled brightly, and spread her arms.

“Hug me.”

“Hug me?”

“Yes. Both you and I are destined to suffer more in the future. In that sense, wouldn’t it be good to feel each other’s warmth?”

It sounds quite cheesy when you just hear it in words. I’m sure that was actually half the intention.

-Hug!

So I hugged her. Even if it wasn’t my intention, Dan Ye-rin has a lot in common with Grace.

Such as not being able to sleep alone or feeling anxious even when no one is around.

As I said before, she has already experienced assassination threats. It is only natural that she would rely on me.

“······Dan Ye-rin.”

“Why are you doing that?”

I faced her while embracing her warmly. Dan Ye-rin’s expression could be expressed in one word.

Pervert. He even has an old man-like expression on his face. If it were just his expression, I could overlook it.

-Cast a cast

The problem is that he’s touching my butt with his hands. And not just one, but both.

I wonder what to do with this bad hand, but I guess there’s no way. I’ll have to find a way soon.

‘You’re already following along.’

I couldn’t help but feel horrified every time the beak followed suit. He even did that to Grace sometimes.

I don’t know how upset Grace was after going through that. Luckily, she didn’t suspect me.

“Does it happen to other people too?”

“I only want to touch those who I want to touch.”

“Touch what’s yours.”

“You want me to touch you? I’d love to.”

“··· ···”

She’s a really scary woman. I’ve been dealing her the worst of it.

Dan Ye-rin was disappointed that I didn’t do a bad job, but she wasn’t dissatisfied.

“I wish to become emperor as soon as possible. Only then can I make a formal proposal to you.”

“What offer?”

“An engagement proposal.”

“··· ···”

“Ah. I’ll take your attendance at the Academy into consideration. I want to be with you too.”

From noble mtl dot com

Dan Ye-rin said that and patted my butt. It was a natural touch.

Then she went to sleep, and I was able to return to Grace. Grace was sleeping soundly.

I feel guilty about having an untimely affair, but today is different. Today, there is a clear reason.

‘······Is it meaningless because it’s just one of many?’

I should treat Grace better from now on. I quietly approached Grace.

“Hmm······”

Was it because the rustling sound was a little loud? Or did he sense something?

Grace’s eyes, which had been quietly closed, slowly opened. Then she looked at me.

I held her silently so that she could sleep more comfortably. Grace also slowly relaxed as I held her.

“Mr. Shivar······”

“huh.”

“I smell like another woman······”

“··· ···”

For a moment, my heart sank. I tried my best to remain calm and answered.

“Because it’s a dream.”

“Ah······ A dream······ I see······ That’s fortunate······”

Grace smiled bashfully and hugged me tightly. I hoped you couldn’t hear my heartbeat.

“Not Kara-san······ Not Ellie-san······ Not Luna-san······ Who are you······”

“··· ···”

“Another woman’s smell······ Yerin-ssi······?”

Oh Chaos, please help me get through this.

Would Grace have listened to my earnest plea, or would she have thought it was a dream?

“New······”

Soon I fell into a deep sleep. I could tell he was definitely asleep because I could feel his presence.

I sighed at the feeling of being ten years older.

‘Thank you, Chaos.’

Chaos responded to my thanks.

[Faith rises!]

It’s nothing.

*****

Time passed and it was the weekend.

“You talk to me.”

“huh?”

Lee Yeon-ju came to see me.
