Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy - Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy chapter 129

129 – Ruid’s Choice (5)

Enlightenment comes from trivial things.

Like Newton, who thought of gravity after seeing an apple fall.

‘I was stuck in a stereotype.’

Ruid felt similar emotions.

If you change the most important thing, the rest will follow.

If you make Windsor-friendly Damon emperor, many other headaches disappear.

“Thank you, Sister Irene.”

“Huh?”

“For letting me know that there is also such a mild way.”

Irene tilted her head and smiled.

Ruid glanced at Damon once and asked.

“When will you become emperor?”

“There is a way to support it by becoming the head of the family in a peaceful way.”

‘… It will take a while.’

Victoria is correct.

It will be a long time until Irene takes over as the head of the household.

“If you use a little extreme method, it will be possible right now.”

“There is nothing more ugly than ascending the throne by borrowing the power of Windsor.”

“Do you know me well?”

“An emperor who relied on such expedients would not last long. I’ll take care of it. One thing you promise If I become emperor, please support me.”

“I promise you full support. Because you are a child who knows what Paedo is.”

Irene seems to have liked Damon quite a bit.

‘What did you do… ‘

I can only imagine.

Irene doesn’t have a very friendly personality. She must have suffered quite a bit… Damon seemed to rather like it.

Irene rummaged through the papers in front of her, then asked with a slightly serious expression.

She said, “She heard that one of the academy students died.”

“Right.”

“I tried to save him, but he failed.”

“Exactly, it’s in progress.”

Ruid said calmly.

“Because there are many things I haven’t tried yet.”

“The reason you didn’t announce it is because it’s annoying?”

“…… Because it’s obvious what to say. But, I don’t need it anymore.”

If Damon becomes emperor, she is a pointless worry.

No, rather, it comes as a good thing.

Because you will gradually accumulate the excuses of enmity against the imperial family.

Instead, it’ll be annoying for a while…

I didn’t like the hassle of having no pay, so if the fruit was sweet enough to endure the hassle, it wasn’t bad to move.

“I will send the students back. It’s like she doesn’t even want to be here. Than you think… “

Louise lengthened her yawn.

“It’s not fun. Damon. Did you achieve your original goal too?”

“The purpose. You mean to bring awareness to the idiots of the Empire?”

“No. Investigation of the Duke of Windsor.”

Damon chuckled.

“You noticed.”

“Otherwise, there is no way he would have abandoned the students and followed me.”

Damon nodded his head.

“The goal has been achieved. Ruid. I have no regrets. No, it’s rather excessive. I learned in less than a month what it took me 10 years to learn here.”

‘What did you do… ‘

I can only imagine.

Irene doesn’t have a very friendly personality. She must have suffered quite a bit… Damon seemed to rather like it.

“By the way, Louie.”

Irene looked at her report and said in a puzzled way.

“How Sophia Queensberry died. That’s a little strange.”

“Is it weird?”

“According to Charlotte’s report, there are no monsters around.”

Ruid also thought that was strange.

“There is zero chance that Charles was wrong.”

Irene said firmly. About that, Louis agreed.

“However, they said it was an impossible wound for a human to inflict.”

“What if it’s not a monster, but a demon?”

Irene rested her chin on the back of her hand.

“It could be a demon with a special ability.”

“Then I would have felt it.”

‘Besides, Victoria was there too.’

From noble mtl dot com

Sophia’s death is certainly not a mystery.

But there was a reason I didn’t look closely.

I’m not really curious.

And, even if I found out, nothing would change.

“… Do you care?”

“No. But.”

Irene raised one corner of her mouth deeply.

“I have a feeling that something interesting will come out if I investigate. How are you? It’s just that you try to move yourself once.”

**

First, you have to keep the words of your older sister.

Unlike Amelia, Irene is ruthless.

There were a number of cases where I was really imprisoned.

“It’s annoying.”

Now, I spit out words like a habit. It was also a long time ago. Because I’ve been living pretty hard these days.

Still, I feel better when I step on my puffy eyes.

“This is it.”

This is an area where it always snows.

So, the traces faded, but Ruid’s eyes couldn’t be fooled.

Sophia found the place where she was crushed. Around it.

“… The footprints of the beast.”

Those were the footprints of a fairly large beast.

At least it’s not a trace of a demon.

She briefly suspected the ‘memory demon’ the therapist had spoken of, but at this moment, she got out of line with the dragon.

“Um… “

Ruid blinked her eyes. Before she came here, she said the analysis was over, and she remembered what Ella had told her.

– No matter how I look at Ruid’s magic, there’s nothing wrong with it.

-It’s called the lifelong world theory. Just because the present and the past are reversed doesn’t mean that changes will come right away.

-It’s actually a different world. Sophia, who died an hour ago…

-Can you tell me the conclusion? Head hurts.

-Sir, sorry! So, to conclude…….

“The magic was successful. However, Sophia from an hour before the incident had already lost her soul.”

That’s Ella’s conclusion-

Ruid trusted Ella completely.

“… Sophia was definitely alive. Because she talked like no other.”

However, a body without a soul cannot move.

That word means one thing.

“Someone pretended to be Sophia by possessing Sofia’s soulless body.”

The only person in the world who would do such a dirty thing is a warlock.

And among the black magicians Ruid knew, he could do something like this…

“The sin of lust, Lilith.”

The Seven Deadly Sins are the main villains of the original novel.

Even among them, the ranks are quite divided. The difference in skills between the lower and upper sins is enormous.

Lust is located at a fairly high rank. If Lilith possessed it, it would be very difficult for her to kill it.

The suspect immediately came to mind.

Ruid’s eyes sank low.

“I see. Were you the culprit?”

It was only his familiar and great spirit, the ‘nine-tailed fox’. He used to be sensitive to spirits a few times before.

Then everything fits.

These large footprints are Miho’s body.

There was a reason why Charlotte couldn’t sense the monster’s presence.

“Why did you hide that fact from me?”

Louise narrowed her eyes.

She could call and ask, but I can’t believe it. Even if it’s not this time.

“Liar.”

It’s common sense that the nine-tailed fox is set to lie.

But the scandal is true, so let’s punish it.

Ruid yawned and reduced the amount of magic directed at Miho to 1/10.

I won’t release you until I die.

“Louis.”

As I should have recognized earlier, I was thinking the same meaningless thoughts when I heard a voice not far away.

Irene was approaching, her hand tucked into her black coat.

As her snowflakes fluttered slightly, there was something tasteful about her that blended with Irene’s pure white skin.

“Did you find out?”

“My familiar was the culprit.”

Irene stroked Louis’ head.

“She was a pet fox that I liked more than I thought. She didn’t like her because the owner left her alone and flirted with other girls.”

Irene said with a smile.

‘… Come to think of it, I haven’t been paying much attention to Hercy lately.’

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve talked to Hercy in the North.

She seemed to feel a little sad.

“Do you think you know why you killed her?”

Ruid looked towards the tomb of the first emperor.

“Yeah, I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.”

Actually, it was easy to understand why Miho killed Sophia.

Killing him near here means that the warlock saw the ‘Tomb of the First Emperor’.

I don’t know why I didn’t bother to say something that deserves such praise.

“Since it is the tomb of the first emperor, it must be difficult to see.”

“Yes. Besides, what’s inside Sophia is a black magician… “

While talking normally, Louis felt a strong sense of deja vu, and her pupils began to shake.

“…… Did you know?”

“I’m sorry, Louie.”

Irene raised the corner of her mouth gently and brought it to Louis de’s eye level.

Her insides were slightly terrifyingly shiny. It was 90% warmth and 10% madness.

“Your sister didn’t hide anything from Louis.”

“How… ?”

“Did you forget? I’m in charge of this area. There’s no way you don’t know what’s going on in the first line of defense.”

“Ah.”

Irene smiled strangely.

“Of course, I don’t know what’s inside. So what did you see?”

‘It was an induction interrogation… !’

Ruid bit her lip.

She was somehow resentful.

“Louis.”

Irene got up from her seat and hugged Louis lightly.

He stroked her hair and whispered.

“Sometimes she hides it from her sister, and if she does such an admirable thing, she has no choice but to put her necklace around Louis’ thin neck.”

Ruid flinched at her body.

Irene grabbed Louis by her shoulder and asked again.

“Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“… ….”

Ruid slightly averted his gaze and spoke in a small voice.

“… Delrin is our ancestor.”

“Yes.”

“The first emperor was a bad person.”

“Yes.”

“Delrin wants revenge.”

“Revenge?”

“I want you to erase the empire.”

“… !”

Irene looked surprised for a moment, but then her smile grew wider.

Ruid sighed at the expected reaction.

“I decided to choose.”

Irene blinked her eyes.

She sighed, sighed, and spoke softly.

“I won’t take away Louie’s share. Don’t worry.”

“…… Really? You can’t suddenly declare war.”

Irene spoke quickly as if she couldn’t stand it.

“So, what is our youngest child’s choice?”

“My choice is… “

One of the headaches, ‘Sophia’s death’, was solved by Damon choosing to become the emperor.

In fact, the answer was fixed from the moment I heard that Damon had made up his mind to become emperor.

There is only one thing left.

A decision about what happened at the tomb of the first emperor.

Hit the empire or find another way.

In fact, the answer was fixed from the moment I heard that Damon had made up his mind to become emperor.

As I learned from Irene, it digs into the core in just one shot.

“I will save Delrin.”

“I will save the first emperor.”

“And.”

Ruid spoke with an innocent face.

“I will kill the first emperor.”

Irene couldn’t stand it and threw Louis over her white snow.

She climbed onto her brother, holding her wrist close to her face.

Ruid was taken aback. Irene’s blonde hair tickled her cheek.

Irene whispered in my ear with a distinct voice.

“I would have respected your choice, but…… This is, you know, Louie.”

“Who, sister?”

Irene raised her head. Louise was taken aback by Irene’s sudden behavior.

Above all, a red blush appeared on Irene’s white face.

“I really like the choice.”
