Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 471

471 – Love in Academy – 1

Vacation is a valuable time to rest your body and head after hard work studying, but unfortunately, this winter vacation is not a time to rest, but rather a busy time. It’s time.

We had to prepare a gift to celebrate the advisor’s marriage, and we also had to prepare a congratulatory gift for Ainter receiving the title of marquis. Even the advisor and Duke Margeta – no, since the Countess of Tilglen has been beatified, it is her duty to prepare a gift for him as well. Thanks to this, I spent a lot of time preparing gifts that were appropriate and affordable during the vacation.

If it were a gift to a faceless person, it would have been appropriate to leave it to the servants, but the advisor, the countess, and Ainter are acquaintances who have known each other for two years. If you only roughly decide on a gift to give to someone like that, who can you devote your sincerity to?

“The more extravagant the wedding gift, the better. If you send a simple gift on an occasion where family ties are connected, it will actually hurt people’s feelings.”

“I think it would be okay to send it lightly to the Marquis. If there are rumors that the emperor’s younger brother is too close to a prince from a foreign country, it will be difficult for both parties. Of course, the quality must be of the highest quality.”＜ /B＞

“Wouldn’t it be better to be frugal when it comes to gifts for beatification? The Order of Dawn tends to avoid extravagance, so if a beatified person receives a flashy gift, it’s a bit…”

But the good news is that with Rachel’s advice, I was able to set a standard for what kind of gift would be good.

Unlike other servants, Rachel is also a student at the academy, so she has first-hand experience seeing advisors and Ainters. Thanks to that, she gave us great advice on gifts that fit the personalities and positions of the two of us.

“It’s an undeserved gift. Thank you.”

“hahahaha, it’s something I have to deal with. Anyway, I’ll be grateful.”

As a result, both the advisor and Ainter appeared satisfied and received the gift. As expected, Rachel’s advice always produces the right results.

Therefore, when she heard the news of Countess Tilglen’s appointment as soon as she came to the academy, the person who immediately came to mind was Rachel. It may be difficult to prepare the best gift since you are at the academy and not in your home country, but if you have Rachel, you will at least be able to prepare a gift appropriate for the class.

Even during vacation, she asks for advice on various topics, and I feel sorry that she seems to be harassing me at the academy, but I can’t help it. How could she just ignore an acquaintance’s meeting?

‘Huh.’

But she could see a future that would bother Rachel a little, a little more. I don’t think she’ll end up just preparing a gift for her first birthday.

‘What on earth happened?’

When she saw Erich stiffen with his arms linked with Sarah, she didn’t even let out a laugh. She feels like she’s seen something that shouldn’t exist in this world.

Of course, she knew that Sarah had feelings for Erich. Even within her club, she already knew everyone except Erich, and maybe the entire Academy knew. Except Erich.

But Erich looks embarrassed and embarrassed. Erich, who smiled at Sarah’s shy touch as her only notice was as little as her fingernails, and Erich, who tilted his head to the side despite Sarah’s anxious gaze, are blushing.

“…A new wedding will be held around the time the advisor’s child is born.”

She nodded her head at Ryu Tis’ words. Looking at that, I might hear the shocking news of Erich’s marriage within a year or two.

I’m confused. When she was looking at Erich’s destructive behavior, she wished she could come to her senses, but now that she is doing this, her brain can’t accept it.

‘That guy is getting married.’

Actually, looking at the fact that they are still hesitant, it seems like they haven’t even entered the formal relationship stage, let alone marriage, but it’s all the same shocking. The one we thought was the weakest among us is now the most advanced.

I feel ashamed. Am I worse than that guy?

‘How did the world come to this point?’

I sincerely deplore this.

After club time was over, she contacted Rachel.

– You mean Baron Hardiner?

Rachel nodded her head sadly, hearing her voice mixed with subtle embarrassment.

“Yes. I think we should prepare a gift for him in advance.”

– Oh my god.

Seeing Rachel mumbling absently made her feel a little at ease. She said I wasn’t the only one who was shocked, either. It is true that anyone who knows Erich at all would react this way.

And the sense of self-destruction engraved deep in my heart began to gradually fade. No matter how much she tries to think, the image of Erich dramatically gaining her attention on his own cannot come to mind. There is a high probability that a worse advisor directly intervened and forcibly awakened him.

Yes, it will definitely happen. People don’t change easily, so it will definitely happen.

…Otherwise, I would truly become worse than Erich. I just don’t like that.

“Someone like that also finds a mate.”

I smiled and muttered without realizing it. In fact, whether the advisor intervened or not, the fact that Erich was on the verge of finding a partner was the same. Unlike me, there are two.

– You sacrificed yourself for the stability of the royal family and kingdom. The situation is different with Baron Hardiner.

At her mumbling, Rachel hurriedly shook her head and offered her consolation.

Rachel is right. Because of my abilities, people sometimes say what it would be like to make me the crown prince. If I were to marry the daughter of a great nobleman, I would have a strong support force, and public opinion for the replacement of the crown prince would grow even greater.

That’s why I’ve been pushing away people around me since long ago. One by one, people with powerful family prestige, people with outstanding abilities, and people with considerable ambition were pushed out, leaving behind only the bare minimum of servants and bodyguards. Still, I wasn’t relieved, so I came to the Imperial Academy.

When I think about it, I think the reason I fell in love with Louise was because of her status. Even if he marries the daughter of an imperial baron, it won’t have any effect on Yuven.

‘I didn’t know he was Lord Ma Jong-gong’s disciple.’

She looked at Rachel, raising the corners of her mouth. I eliminated those around me for the right to succeed her older brother, and even instinctively chose a safe person to be with me. This is a life I have lived without paying attention to others.

But even I couldn’t cut Rachel out. Because she couldn’t bear to abandon the friends she had been with since childhood.

‘Somehow I was able to keep Rachel by her side.’

Fortunately, the Sorta family that Rachel belonged to was not a particularly prestigious family, and although Rachel’s abilities were excellent, she was not at the level of a leading genius, so she was able to continue the relationship.

“I think my Sarah is you.”

– Yes?

Rachel trembled at those words.

‘Oh my.’

It was only after she saw that that she realized that it was enough to misunderstand. She’s me. She says this because she saw Sarah, Erich’s ‘childhood friend’ rather than Erich’s ‘lover’, at the club, but Rachel has just heard that Erich and Sarah are on the verge of becoming lovers.

“Aren’t you the only person I can call a childhood friend?”

– Oh, yes, that’s right. I am your only friend.

Not my only friend, but my only childhood friend. There are a few people in the club who are just friends.

But she didn’t bother to point it out. She barely managed to save the atmosphere that was about to get awkward, but she couldn’t throw her to the ground –

– Then I guess I could become Rachel Ostia sooner or later.

“What?”

Perhaps he was taking revenge for surprising him, but suddenly a powerful counterattack came out and his body froze.

Ostianani. Rachel using my last name…

– It’s a joke.

“Of course, I guess so.”

At Rachel’s words, she nodded as naturally as possible.

She stuttered a little, but I believe it wasn’t noticeable.

***

Going home from work must be the noblest and most beautiful concept ever created by mankind.

“Mar!”

As soon as I returned to the mansion with Trixie, I ran to the room where Mar was. She can see her wife every day, a luxury she couldn’t have imagined without teleportation.

“Welcome, Carl. You had a hard time today.”

– King!

When I entered the room, I was greeted by Mar, who was sitting on the bed and smiling, and Titi, who was sitting at Mar’s feet.

And it seems that my unborn child also said hello to her father. I could see Mar’s stomach twitching ever so slightly.

Yes, it definitely moved. What’s important is the belief that you have moved.

“How are you? Are there any inconveniences? Oh, if there’s something you want to eat—”

“Everything is fine. The users paid great attention to detail.”

After saying that, Mar spread her arms. She said as if to be quiet and give me a hug.

I hugged Marr as carefully as possible in response to her confident and direct signal. Her face and chest should touch each other, but her stomach should not touch. What should I do if my child gets frustrated because he is being pressured by his father?

“My child also wants to be held by his father.”

“Then you should do it.”

She quickly reached her stomach. She already likes being in her father’s arms. I don’t know if she’s a dutiful son or a dutiful daughter, but she’s a good girl anyway.

“Oh, but a knife.”

“Yes. Tell me. Is there anything you need?”

“What should we name our child?”

Her hair turned white at those words.

“You can’t keep calling me a child. I think it’s too insincere to call your one and only treasure.”

The words were persuasive, so I instinctively nodded.

From noble mtl dot net

That is correct. Even Titi, who is panting right now, has a name, so does it make sense that our treasure doesn’t even have a name?

“Is there a name Carl has in mind?”

“Me, me?”

“Yes. Carl is the father.”

Before she knew it, her hands that were hugging Mar were shaking slightly.

Name, the first name I gave to my first child. Although it is only my birth name, it is a beautiful name that I will be calling for the next 9 months or so.

‘What’s better?’

Unfortunately, it didn’t come to mind right away. Have you been traumatized by being ignored recently when naming Titi?

Still, let’s think about it as much as we can. Isn’t naming your first child a memory that would have made you greedy even if you were thin? Mar gave those memories of her to me.

‘Mmm.’

Taemyeong… First child… Taemyeong… Me and Mar’s child…

Name of birth… Kal… Mar…

Great…

‘No, f*ck.’

She quickly bit her tongue and stopped her thoughts.

A child who would advocate for wealth redistribution was almost born.
