Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 665



665. Lyudmila Ruabella, 3rd in line of succession to the throne

***

A passage connected to the warp camp in the vast space of the imperial castle.

Two people were walking in that elegant space.

Sarah. Chubbuk… … .

Only the faint sound of footsteps echoed in a space filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere.

There was a heavy metal sound as the joints of the armor came together, and there was also a very small noise, like the hem of light cloth rubbing against each other.

“So, Bell. “You said the winner of this Grand Colosseum was a commoner, right?”

“yes. This is a man named Han Cheon-seong. Princess.”

When the knight with a serious complexion answered, the woman rolled her eyes as if curious.

The woman, with her long blonde hair neatly tied back in a ponytail style and a pure white neckline revealed through it, had an alluring look in her eyes amidst her refreshing features.

ㅡLjudmila Ruabella.

She was qualified to succeed to the imperial family and received great support from many nobles, so she was a woman of such great influence that she was considered to be in the top three among numerous imperial family members in the line of succession to the imperial throne.

“Yes, Han Tiansheng… … . It was definitely that name. “I’ve heard that name too.”

The Golden Knight, who was his bodyguard, looked at Belle and nodded slightly.

While I was in contact with Anastasia on the Western Front, a very large festival was taking place within the Empire, which must have just ended yesterday.

‘Grand Colosseum.’

A venue for competition to determine outstanding talent. It felt strange as I engraved the winner’s name again.

How to maximize the original value of jewelry. The best way to do this was to craft gems made of rough, uncut gemstones and sell them for several times more value.

And as a result, not only do you get money, but you also get a sense of accomplishment as you make the gemstone shine more beautifully in the process.

The Grand Colosseum had exactly that meaning to me.

Taking the time to identify unbloomed flowers and gemstones that exist as gemstones and make them your own.

But it was already too late.

Because our schedules coincided.

“Well, I guess other guys have already taken it.”

I laughed and shook my head gently.

Just because he was a commoner, many members of the royal family would probably have rushed to him. He probably tried quite a bit to contact Han Cheon-seong in order to have him and make him his own.

In that sense, it was clear that it would be meaningless for me to pay attention now. Because someone must have already contacted you.

“According to the information I received, it is said that Princess Rachel is building a close relationship.”

Bell’s additional explanation felt a little surprising.

“Rachel? Based on your impression, I thought you had a calm personality, but you reached out first? “It’s fun.”

As for Rachel, she was Dersen’s younger sister whom I kept a close eye on, and she also had the right to succession. She didn’t look bad, so I could imagine what she was like at first glance.

It seemed like he had timed it well and intercepted a man named Han Cheon-seong.

‘Because I remember that he had a pretty fair appearance.’

Perhaps she might have captivated a man named Han Cheon-seong with her outstanding appearance.

And my interest stopped there.

Sarah.

Soon, when I entered the inner room where I was staying, I stretched out loud.

“Haaa… … .”

Even as I sighed heavily, I felt my mind becoming disarmed. It seemed like the fatigue from the long distance expedition was coming to her late.

“Princess Lyudmila. Do you have any further orders? If you need anything, I will prepare it.”

“No, not really, I had a hard time. “Take a break, Belle too.”

“… … yes. Princess.”

I looked at Belle, who still had a stiff formality even after spending several years together.

Honest and strong.

As a golden knight, he sticks to the text and never goes beyond the topic. I liked that more than anything.

As a talent to keep by my side, Bell was sufficient as an escort driver. Nothing more or less than that is just unnecessary.

Crash.

As the door closed and I was left alone, I glanced at the maid who had been waiting in the inner room.

Slurp, slurp.

As he approached me without notice and did what he had to do by taking off my clothes, I absent-mindedly surrendered myself to his hands.

“Would you like me to make the water a little warmer?”

“No, I like it lukewarm.”

“yes. Princess.”

I blinked blankly, wondering why I bothered checking again if I knew.

Outside and inside.

Boudoir and non-boudoir space.

Her attitude there naturally changed. Although she was almost losing her mind, she soon gave up her body to the comfort of the water.

Clap.

Afterwards, as we moved to another location and the water repeatedly hit my naked body, I felt like the fatigue that had accumulated due to the long journey was slowly dissipating.

“As expected, I like it here.”

“… … thank you.”

While I smiled at the maid’s cautious voice, I stared blankly at the spacious bathtub.

It is said that the space where they stayed on the Western Front had its own facilities, but it was nothing compared to the Imperial Castle.

‘I want to continue living in the imperial castle… … .’

Because I can’t do it like I do.

Fulfilling responsibilities sometimes felt very cumbersome.

Yet, it suddenly occurred to me.

The main reason for my journey on the Western Front.

‘Anastasia Brilliant… … .’

I personally conducted her title award ceremony on behalf of my father, and I also had a certain desire to see her with my own eyes.

Because I wanted to see the extent to which a commoner named Anastasia could display such great achievements that she immediately earned the title of marquis.

And what I saw and felt about her was beyond my expectations.

The main axis of the empire.

I realized what it meant for a commoner to take the lead.

It wasn’t my first time seeing her, but seeing her at the front was nothing compared to what I had encountered at the imperial court. Her weight was different.

Grumbling.

The hair that was pinned down came loose and messed up my vision.

“for a moment… … Excuse me.”

“Slow down.”

Through the hand gestures of the maid, the scene of a fierce battlefield seemed to flash before my eyes.

Bright red blood flowed endlessly, and the endless sounds of corpses and monsters created a strange melody.

Because it was a sound close to death, it gave a subtle resonance to my heart.

From the waves of monsters pouring down like a tidal wave to the strong presence of the occasional apostle… … It flashed clearly before my eyes.

And even the appearance of Anastasia, who shows overwhelming performance by clearing the battlefield in an instant.

“… … .”

Even though I was breathing lightly, I felt like my body was heating up.

When I think about it, all of those scenes were incredibly stimulating.

Even though it was a monster, countless lives faced death, and encountering a brilliantly shining being among them was close to a ‘mystery’ in itself.

It caught my attention, giving me a special sense of elation that cannot be explained in words.

‘I’m really greedy.’

I thought that a talented person with only military power was actually of little use. As long as the level of force is sufficient to protect oneself, more than that is not necessary.

What is important is the head and the person who can discern between interests and interests. I thought that people like me who could shape the future of the empire were the key.

However, that changed with Anastasia.

‘It was overwhelming force.’

When an extreme cold that seemed to freeze even the world completely covered an area of ​​the battlefield, I felt a shiver run through my body.

And I also realized the reality of the empire.

I felt again how much I looked at the world like a flower in a greenhouse.

Strength was needed.

Because I felt with my own skin and with my breath that the empire was not safe.

“… … Hmm.”

Even though I thought small, I was worried.

I want to make Anastasia mine.

It was the most powerful being of the empire, the main axis, and a being for the empire.

Still, I was jealous.

Considering the woman named Anastasia, I thought that her strength would be different from that of the other main axes. Even though she is complete, it doesn’t look like her growth has stopped to me.

“The princess. “What are you worried about?”

When the maid asked carefully, she burst into laughter.

“It’s not that I’m worried, I’m just interested. Why, would you like to listen to it?”

“If you tell me, I will listen.”

She stroked the polite maid’s cheek once and nodded.

“What does a woman who has more power than anyone else like?”

“… … “I think women need a lot more than just personal strength.”

“yes. I’m sure you’ll need a lot. “What more do you think you need?”

“First, can I check if you are thinking about Anastasia?”

I nodded calmly at the sight of the maid who cleverly sensed my thoughts.

“That’s right, Anastasia.”

“I have also heard a lot about the reputation of our leader, Anastasia. Then most of it will probably have been met. “Because you are the one who can have what you need.”

“Okay, tell me more.”

As the maid continued speaking quite interestingly, my curiosity arose.

Because I had a feeling that the answer would be better than expected.

“any… … I think it’s a personal opinion. “If I were Anastasia, I would probably think of men.”

“… … man?”

Then, when I burst out laughing at the completely unexpected answer, the maid let out an embarrassed laugh as if she, too, felt awkward about what she said.

“I think a person like Anastasia has achieved everything she could. Personal honor and power. And he achieved power himself. But I think that as a woman, you ultimately want someone who will protect you by your side. Wouldn’t this be especially true in an extremely lonely place like a battlefield? … “I just think carefully.”

My eyes blurred as the maid spoke at the end.

‘He’s a man… … .’

To be honest, I didn’t really empathize with it.

Strength and power.

I thought those were synonyms in some sense.

And having power could be interpreted as having ambition and looking upward.

‘I don’t think I can think of a guy in particular… … .’

Maybe I’m weird.

I have never had such thoughts as I am putting all my effort into succeeding to the throne and concentrating on solidifying my position with talented people.

Even though I have seen people who have evil intentions towards me, I have never given my heart to anyone else.

“Anyway, you can’t give a man as a gift, right? “I don’t know if Anastasia will like it or not.”

As he grinned and murmured, the maid carefully hesitated with her lips.

I found it interesting because it seemed as if I had something to say.

“The princess. This is an extremely cautious statement… … . “Wouldn’t a powerful woman be able to imagine, to some extent, the man she wants?”

“under… … . Have you always imagined something like that?”

“ah. Well, that… … It’s just my opinion. “You don’t have to think much about it, princess.”

The maid hurriedly blurted out her words, but it was already too late.

Because an uncontrollable curiosity had already developed in my heart.

“Tell me something. “Because I’m curious too.”

“I’ve only just heard the news, but… … “Is the princess interested in the Grand Colosseum?”

“know. “I know who won.”

Seeing the maid’s complexion brighten at my words, she tilted her head.

“I heard that a man named Han Tiansheng has a very good appearance. “A handsome man who is rarely seen has won the championship after a long time.”

I was shocked because the maid’s next words clearly showed her intentions, but I was still curious about what she would say.

“so?”

From noble mtl dot come

“… … I know that the main player, Anastasia, is also from the Academy. “If you were to see Han Cheon-seong, who has made a big mark at the Academy Awards and won the championship, and has shown unprecedented growth, wouldn’t you be moved, even if you were Anastasia, who is known to have a talent given by heaven?”

Although he is cautious, he says what he wants to say until the end.

Although I smiled at the strangely enthusiastic appearance of the maid, I strangely found myself understanding what she said.

‘Talent… … .’

The logic itself made sense.

In the eyes of an outstanding genius, the only thing that attracts attention is an outstanding genius like himself. It is difficult for a criminal to receive a proper evaluation in the eyes of a genius.

It was simply inevitable.

There is no way for a superior person to have proper feelings towards someone inferior to them.

“Hmm… … That’s what you think. “It sounds a lot better than I thought.”

“Princess Lyudmila, I think sending him to the Western Front for a while would be an option. If the two of them form a good relationship in the future, Anastasia will feel a great debt of gratitude to the princess.”

The maid’s off-topic words were really strange… … , I liked it.

And it was strange.

Indeed, Anastasia is like ice.

Will she, who is not even afraid of being covered in monster blood, be interested in a man?

‘I don’t think so.’
