Academy Pure Love Prison Guard - Academy Pure Love Prison Guard chapter 122
122 – Count Bright (2)
“The Count invited you? I haven’t heard anything like that….”
Leaving behind the gorgeous naked apple of relief,
When the circumstances of her arrival here were revealed, Lily tilted her head and looked puzzled.
Did I not say it on purpose?
Or is it because this incident has nothing to do with Lily?
It doesn’t matter either way, but Lily’s name bothered me.
“Count?”
“… She was told to call me father. “It’s awkward, so I’m calling him Count.”
I know.
In the original work, the Count was called father.
That’s why she was rather embarrassed when Lily called her Count.
We don’t have a good relationship with her, but it wasn’t to this extent.
Did I touch something strange?
Lily’s past is not revealed in detail, so it is difficult to be certain.
At least she doesn’t seem to be at the point where I don’t even want to see her face.
Let’s just watch for a moment.
“Count. “We have a guest. Where should we take them?”
“… “Let them in here.”
‘Why am I so out of breath?’
I only heard it briefly from the side,
I’m already out of breath.
Is this a conversation between a father and daughter?
Conversations between strangers passing by are more painful than this.
In the meantime, Lily gestures for me to open the door and go in.
She sighed at that and went inside with her greeting.
“My name is Ron from Iris Academy.”
“… It’s Helic Bright. Please sit down first.”
I guess I was working on it,
She answered half-heartedly, unable to take her eyes off the document.
Even though he is Lily’s adoptive father, she has no intention of getting too close to him, so she sits quietly on the sofa.
“… Count. “Aren’t you being too cruel to your guests?”
‘Lily!?’
Rather, Lily, who was listening next to her, said something to Count Helic.
I shook my head and told him to stop, but
Lily didn’t care and sent a stinging gaze towards the Count.
Then she sighed and answered, putting down her glasses.
“… Lily, it’s not your place right now. “We’ll talk about it later, but leave now.”
“You can’t do that. Although he is a guest to the Count, he is a dear friend to me. “I can’t just sit still when my friend is insulted.”
“Ho….”
Suddenly an arrow was pointed at me.
I came here to quietly listen to the story.
Why is this happening all of a sudden?
“… Lily’s right. You can’t invite someone and then act like this. “I feel sorry.”
“Oh, no.”
Although her face is smiling,
The sincerity conveyed through the life felt in the eyes.
Meanwhile, I asked how Lily was, and shrugged her shoulders, saying she didn’t do well.
I really don’t know why this guy’s f*cking life is like this.

“I’m sorry. “Have you waited long?”
“Oh, no.”
Count Helic finally finished the paperwork and sat down across from me.
You can feel the muscles that have been strengthened through years of training through your clothes.
Small scars were visible all over the face.
Count Helic gives off the air of a knight who has turned the tables.
The tone is polite, but
The emotions in his voice were nothing short of vicious.
“… “Do you know why I invited you?”
“No. At all….”
He said he wanted to meet Geodujeolmi.
He just came without any worries because he was Lily’s adoptive father.
Who knew that things would turn out this way?
“It’s different from the rumors. King.”
“…… King?”
The Supreme King, was there such a character?
Even if I think about it carefully, there was no character called the Overlord.
However, Count Helic was definitely called the king.
There are only me, Lily, and Count Helic here.
That means….
“Are you talking about me as the supreme king?”
“Then who else but you?”
Count Helic looked at me strangely, as if he was puzzled by my question.
He covered his head and took a deep sigh.
‘The king? I?’
I was confused by the nickname that did not suit me at all.
How can I say that I am the king?
Isn’t Count Helic more like the hegemon than me?
“Did you not know?”
“Yes, not at all…” .”
Because I recently returned from my hometown, I haven’t heard any news from Wangdo.
It probably spread while I was away.
What did I do to deserve such a scary nickname?
When I looked at Count Helic as if asking for an explanation, he drooled and asked a question.
“I heard you went to war with the Kingdom of Bel a few days ago.”
“Ah… ….”
That definitely happened.
But maybe because of that….
“He even boldly declared war against the noble union. Thanks to this, there is a lot of talk among the nobles about the hegemony.”
It seems like he has become more famous than I thought.
It’s not very good news, but
You will be on guard against me for the time being, so the Noble Alliance will not run amok.
The problem is that if this continues, the mosquitoes may move.
Can I beat that guy with my skills now?
There is a multi-life, but it is close to impossible at the moment.
I think you have to raise it to at least double your current ability level to see any potential.
“I also heard about your activity. Thanks to this, we, the royalists, were able to exert our power.”
“… “That’s a good thing.”
“That’s why I ask.”
Count Helic paused for a moment and asked, lowering his voice.
“What is your purpose?”
“Huh?”
I was rather taken aback by the unexpected question.
Purpose.
I don’t really have a purpose right now other than protecting Lily.
When he glanced at Lily, he waved her hand with a smile on his face.
“There is no particular purpose.”
“There is no purpose. “Then why did the Noble Alliance target you, and why did you interfere with the Noble Alliance’s plans and start a war with the Kingdom of Bell?”
He spoke in a demanding tone as if he was pushing him away, but instead he tilted his head.
Is that such a strange thing?
From Noble mtl dot com
The Noble Alliance are the ones that will be defeated someday.
If the Crown Prince doesn’t get rid of the buds in advance, he will get tired later.
So, I just took care of it once it was moving.
But he looks at me with suspicion and waits for me to answer.
“It is just a coincidence that the Noble Alliance is targeting me. During the entrance exam, my opponent was a member of the Noble Association. “I beat him up pretty hard and he started targeting me.”
“……….”
“And the case of the Bell Kingdom was just to save a friend.”
“Are you telling me to believe that?”
No, then what do you want from me?
I explained it honestly and without hiding anything.
Instead, they doubted my words and accused me of being a liar.
“Count, may I say a word?”
Lily suddenly intervened in such an awkward situation.
Count Helic felt bad inside, but
Since the other person was Lily, he quietly nodded.
“Everything Ron said is true.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Because I was next to you.”
Well, I was next to you during the entrance exam.
He even helped during the wedding.
Even though he was my opponent during the special test, I couldn’t have known why something like that had happened.
At Lily’s confirmation, her eyebrows twitched for a moment, and she looked at me again and asked.
“Then why are you hostile to the noble union? “You must be a commoner with no background.”
“Why are you hostile to the noble union?”
Honestly, if we hadn’t started a fight first, I wouldn’t have been this hostile.
I think this is an opponent I will have to fight someday,
Some people treated him a little harshly.
And above all.
“They hate me for no reason, so I need to give them a reason to hate me.”
If you’re going to behave like sh*t to me for no reason, give me a sh*tty reason.
This is one of my favorite sayings.
I’m already so busy with other things, so why bother me with something so useless?
Then I will kindly burn it without leaving a single root behind.
What you touched was not an easy commoner,
Until I realized that it was a crazy bomb that could not be controlled.
“Foot!”
Let’s give a confident answer,
Count Helic, who was dumbfounded for a moment, soon burst into laughter.
“I see. I guessed wrong. “My eyes are truly knotholes for doubting you.”
“What is that…?” .”
“At first, I thought you were a member of the Noble Alliance.”
How do you come to that conclusion?
Let me look at you curiously,
Count Helic quenched his thirst with black tea and explained slowly.
“I thought it was a common smokescreen operation. “They were pretending to be hostile to each other, but I thought they were trying to sneak into our royal faction and steal information.”
‘Ah, so….’
Only then did I understand the question Count Helic had asked.
Because I had such doubts,
I can’t help but feel that all my actions are suspicious.
What kind of commoner would believe and be hostile to a huge alliance of nobles?
If it weren’t for me, it wouldn’t be surprising if I would have already collapsed during the special exam.
But he survives until the end and fights back,
Even the plan to unite the nobles was in vain.
It is good news for royalist nobles, but of course they cannot help but be suspicious.
The noble union was shaken by just one commoner.
What kind of idiot would so obediently believe that?
“But when we met and talked in person, it was completely different from what I expected.”
“Is that so?”
I don’t know if the evaluation suddenly changed,
First of all, it seems to be getting better, so does it matter?
Now the doubts have been cleared. I plan to return to the academy and focus on my training.
Count Helic, who was looking at me happily, made a suggestion to me.
“If time permits, would you be willing to spar with me?”
“… “Now?”
I don’t know why it ends this way.
