A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 486



The Inevitable (2)

With the current emperor suffering from a chronic illness, the person with the most power in the palace is, no matter what anyone says, Danjucheon.

He works on behalf of the Emperor, who is virtually unable to perform his duties, and is in charge of the affairs of the country, both large and small.

Naturally, he is aware of most of the state events and plans to hold a ceremony for himself soon.

But the plan was suddenly ruined because Yi-ryong was defeated mercilessly by a student from the Academy.

The fact that the dragon was defeated was not a big problem in itself. It was just likely to be a stumbling block in other areas.

‘It would be annoying just to not show up.’

It has already been announced in a big way. There will be a grand ceremony soon, and the two generals will be there.

What if General Yiryong doesn’t show up here? If that happens, not only the people but also the political enemies will have doubts.

This one doubt will create a rift and further give the enemy an opportunity. That part makes me angry.

‘Why was the dragon defeated? By a barbarian who doesn’t even know manners?’

Aside from that, the defeat of the dragon was a shock to Danjucheon as well. It was a situation that no one had expected.

As expected, it would be normal for the dragon to make an example of the savage, namely Shivar, by brutally killing him.

However, the opposite situation unfolded, leaving everyone bewildered. Currently, Yi-ryong is receiving treatment for a serious injury to his face.

According to the congressman, the patient’s face, including his nose, is sunken in and will take a long time to heal.

However, he said that it was not life-threatening and that if he just recuperated sufficiently, he would return to normal.

That period was over half a year. One of the patches was completely gone.

‘Why is that guy helping Dan Ye-rin? Did they have feelings for each other?’

Danjucheon thought deeply. Why did the man and woman help each other?

I did some research on Shivar, but that only made me more suspicious. I couldn’t find any reason to help him.

So, the only hypothesis that came to mind was that Dan Ye-rin had seduced Shivar and that Shivar had helped her.

‘If that’s the case, then why are there rumors of an affair with a Tatar princess?’

In addition to this, there are various rumors of his affairs with other women. In particular, the most credible(?) one is the Matra Empire.

There are rumors that he is living with a princess of the Matra Empire and is even engaged to be married. There are so many rumors going around about his love affair.

‘Is the information wrong? Could it be that the informant was one of Dan Ye-rin’s subordinates?’

But when I actually saw him helping Dan Ye-rin, I started to have groundless suspicions. It’s hard to believe rumors.

That’s why we send out informants to gather information, but when the variable actually comes up, we become suspicious.

Facts that don’t match the information. The enemy’s power is several times greater than expected. And further······

‘I don’t even know why the saint came.’

From the sudden visit of the saintess, Lize, everything is suspicious.

As Danjucheon had the temperament of a madman, doubts began to creep up in his heart.

A slimy feeling that could soon evolve into something pathological. It was okay until now.

“Please cancel the ceremony.”

“··· ···”

“It’s for you.”

Until the saint, who had been considered a variable among variables, made such a proposal to herself.

Danjucheon narrowed his brows and glared at the woman across from him. She was the most beautiful of the Saekmokin, who were known for their gorgeous appearance.

A color combination that looks like a drawing with ink on pure white paper. The only thing that tells you is that it’s a colored pencil drawing.

Lastly, a body that stimulates a man’s lust while providing comfort at the same time.

As a woman, she had no shortcomings, but Danjucheon did not notice her.

“······Do you know what you just said?”

What Lize did was an act that blatantly crossed the line. Danjucheon’s voice became infinitely lower.

If what Lize said was nothing more than advice, I would have just let it go.

Even a single person could hear the advice of a wise man. The only problem is the price that comes with it.

However, the suggestion Lize made was closer to a warning than advice. A silent warning that if things continued this way, something big would happen.

“Yes, I know that very well.”

“I know you well too. I’ve heard that you are very wise and can even read the future.”

“You flatter me.”

“But I think that wisdom is somewhat excessive and leads to pride.”

On what basis do you spout such nonsense to me, the most powerful person after the Emperor? That’s roughly what I said.

It was a typical nobleman’s way of talking, but Lize was someone with overwhelming experience compared to others. I could understand it well.

At this, she opened her mouth while maintaining her characteristically gentle smile.

“That may be so. But I believe Your Majesty knows that ceremonial events are dangerous.”

“Since when has a saint been able to interfere in the politics of other countries?”

“As the Saint of Chaos, I have a duty to prevent tragedy.”

“Then, can we really believe that the upcoming ceremony will bring about tragedy?”

Instead of answering, Lize took a sip of tea. It wasn’t Danjucheon who didn’t know what it meant.

Of course, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He just didn’t say it out loud, but it was still a strong statement.

It was a proposal made without being rude, but it was still interference in the affairs of another country.

“I don’t understand. Shouldn’t chaos be welcomed instead? A national tragedy would bring about tremendous chaos.”

“I think you misunderstand chaos. It is part of chaos, but it cannot explain the whole thing.”

“Then what?”

“I just want to prevent a tragedy. Nothing more, nothing less.”

“It seems the God of Chaos likes to interfere.”

Lize didn’t answer at all. It wasn’t a yes or no, but it was close to a yes.

Danjucheon let out an incomprehensible laugh for a moment, then hardened his face and grabbed the teacup with his hand.

Then he poured it into his mouth as if he was drinking alcohol. It was an action that gave off anger rather than exhilaration.

-widely!

Danjucheon put down his teacup so loudly that it made a sound and wiped around his mouth.

And then he quietly glared at Lize and opened his mouth.

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s ridiculous.”

“··· ···”

“I see now. Is it because of that wild man?”

At those words, Lize looked straight at Danjucheon. It was as if she was saying, “Say it.”

“I didn’t know why you and those guys came together······but it looks like you’re helping.”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

“Don’t pretend not to know. Aren’t you ashamed of the saint’s name?”

“··· ···”

Lize kept her mouth shut. She looked like she didn’t want to talk.

Danjucheon snorted as if he had known this would happen and opened his mouth.

“Considering your reputation, I will let you go. However, I will remember this for a long time.”

“I hope so.”

“What do you mean? Are you going to use your hands?”

“Even if I don’t do anything, the Huan Empire has too many enemies. Your Majesty must be well aware of that fact.”

When communication failed, Lize calmly threw in some heavy facts. This time, she was a little rude.

Just as Danjucheon’s expression suddenly crumpled, Lize stood up from her seat. It seemed as if she had nothing more to do.

Then, with her usual gentle expression, she gave Danjucheon a final warning.

“I understand that you cannot cancel the ceremony. However, please keep this in mind.”

“What now?”

“I hope you can proceed with the ceremony as planned. It hasn’t even been a month since the ceremony was scheduled.”

“······How about that?”

The impression of Danjucheon, who had been crumpled up, changed in an instant. The ceremonial event was practically close to being a fabrication.

This story is known only to those who are deeply connected to the palace, especially Danjucheon.

Not only did he grab it in a hurry to show that he was still alive, but he also grabbed it in a hurry after hearing that Dan Ye-rin was coming back.

Of course, there was no way for Lize to know this. But she spoke as if she already knew everything.

“It’s nothing. If you think about it a little, you can probably guess.”

“······You.”

In response to Lize’s humble words, Danjucheon spoke in a small voice.

“Are you trying to stop me from becoming emperor?”

A situation where even a slight suspicion arises. Danjucheon’s situation was exactly like that.

However, contrary to Danjucheon’s expectations, Lize shook her head. It meant that it was different.

Then she brought up a completely unexpected story.

“No. I want you to become emperor. That’s why I’m giving you this advice.”

“······It doesn’t make sense. What on earth are you intending?”

“There is no intention.”

Lize smiled brightly and said something meaningful.

“Because I always choose the ‘best’.”

“··· ···”

“When the best fails, you just take the second best. Always hoping for a good outcome.”

“······Then I will ask you one last question.’

Danjucheon took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice.

“What choice did the God of Chaos make?”

“You didn’t say anything.”

“Then why?”

Lize answered that question.

“Because it’s chaos.”

“··· ···”

“Chaos is someone who places great importance on individual choice.”

As expected, I couldn’t understand.
