Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 476

476 – Clubs are decoration – 3

Count Nerkaf, Duke of Killanas, Cardinal Alexandriana.

The trio, whose names alone make you feel proud, are planning to visit the academy as individuals, but treating a top-ranking official from another country as an individual is an act of madness that can only be achieved by giving up diplomacy. This means that you can treat it briefly compared to when you come as an envoy, but it does not mean that you can ignore it.

Thanks to this, the principal received an emergency support budget from the Ministry of Education and began preparing to welcome the guests, while the vice-principal led the faculty and student council and handled the situation desperately.

And in that chaos, I too was having painful days.

– The Great Emperor did not tolerate the sins created by Apels’ greed and pride. However, he kept the academy as is because he wanted the entire continent, beyond the empire, to receive proper education and embrace the ideal of unity.

“It is a noble meaning that humble beliefs cannot dare to fathom.”

– Is there anyone under the heavens who can fully understand the Great Emperor? The same goes for Jim, so don’t pay attention to the minister.

No matter how many times I think about it, there is nothing more painful than having a video call with my best boss, the Emperor.

I will be thrilled. Even though it’s a commute-type job, it’s sad that he’s doing dispatch work while leaving his pregnant wife behind. It’s also sad that big names are coming to that place of work, and now he’s talking on the phone with the emperor.

‘This is the third day.’

And that too for three days in a row.

– Although we cannot fully understand the meaning of the Great Emperor, we can know that the meaning has finally blossomed and today the Academy stands at the center of the continent. Therefore, the Minister should take care of those who yearn for the center as the pillars of the empire.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will keep that in mind.”

He answered the emperor’s words by mechanically lowering his head. I’ve been hearing that story for three days in a row already.

Of course, since the emperor is not a recorder, the sentence arrangement and words have changed, but the meaning is the same.

‘It’s not perfect for establishing prestige.’

The admission of royals from other countries to the academy, an imperial educational institution, can enhance the dignity of the empire. From the perspective of the teachers and staff on site, it was a disaster, but on the surface, wasn’t it like a foreign country acknowledging that the empire’s education system was superior?

However, following the royal family’s admission, this time even the leadership will visit the academy event. This is a big event that reinforces the image that the empire is superior to other countries.

It will be even more painful for the faculty and staff on site, but considering the prestige of the empire, it is definitely a positive thing. That’s why the emperor cares so much.

– Yes, a minister would be able to welcome distinguished guests well. I am truly relieved that the Minister is at the Academy.

“I am very grateful. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty’s trust.”

I repeatedly bowed my head to the emperor who emphasized my role.

Repeating the same words over and over again was irritating to the listener, but I had no choice but to agree because I thought I knew why the emperor was making such a fuss.

Unfortunately, I have a strange habit of turning into an academy girl when I get involved with guests from other countries. That is why we are receiving strong warnings to refrain this time.

‘…His record is impressive.’

Honestly, even when I thought about it, there was no such thing as Yeo Bu. During the rebellion the year before last, he made blood come out of the mouth of Lyutis, a member of the royal family of a foreign country, and last year he cut Meteor into pieces on the heads of guests. Since the legend is being updated every year, the emperor must be concerned that an accident may occur this year as well.

So far, I’ve gotten through it without any problems, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll get through it the third time as well. No, even if the guests laugh it off, the emperor will try to tear me to death.

So what should we do? Ex-convicts should keep their mouths shut and follow.

– The Minister always lived up to my trust. However, if the Minister thinks something is embarrassing, he can always tell Jim.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I hope something like that doesn’t happen.

As I was watching the emperor remotely every day, it was now the day of the club fair. A monarch who can even control time is not something that just anyone can do, not even an emperor.

“The academy is the same. Nothing has changed.”

“It’s only been a few months since I graduated. It’s even more surprising if things have changed.”

“That’s right. Only a few months have passed.”

Mar, who was touring the academy with me just before the exhibition opening ceremony, smiled softly at my answer.

Seeing Mar like that made me smile too. Although she said it was only a few months, she graduated from the academy she attended for 3 years, so even those few months of absence cannot help but feel big. In my pre-possession world, when I graduated from school, I felt empty and the graduation ceremony felt like a thing of the past.

It’s a feeling I’ve never experienced in this world.

“Still, it’s amazing. When I was in the student council, I thought the academy wouldn’t run properly without me, but it’s running so well.”

Marr walked for a few more minutes and muttered in a slightly subdued voice.

It was a random comment, but I think I know how you feel. She serves as vice president and president of the student council, and I know very well how hard she worked. Perhaps because of her sense of duty as a princess, she did not take any matter lightly, and she checked the same issue several times, trying to make sure there were no gaps.

However, the student council that has put so much effort into leading the academy is running peacefully even without them. She may feel empty, wondering if her efforts over the past three years were in vain.

“She is going back because Mar taught her successor well. How important is the handover?”

He carefully stroked Mar’s head and spoke words of comfort to her.

This is sincere. A person’s abilities do not only stand out when they are present. Even the aftermath after leaving the position is an element that can be used to judge a person’s competence. Handling work so neatly that there are no problems even if you leave your position, and teaching your successor perfectly, is not something that just anyone can do.

Thanks to you, the minister and I went through a lot of trouble sending the former head of the inspection department. Because the bastard, who was always cursing when I was there, left without even being able to hand over the handover. Even worse, the minister who filled the position of head of the inspection department was promoted to minister of finance not long after, so I had to deal with the situation alone.

“And Mar manages something more important than her academy.”

Marr opened her eyes round at those words and eventually burst into laughter.

“hehehe, that’s right. I am now the hostess of the Crasius family.”

Luckily, my slightly depressed mood seems to have improved again.

***

I looked up at the main academy building. Perhaps because it is a legacy from the Apels era, which was the most wealthy in the history of the continent, it was a building that felt massive and extravagant without filtering. How many gold coins must have been melted down to make that?

“Your Excellency the Marshal.”

“I understand.”

After looking at the main building for a while, I took a step when I heard the voice of Lord Villar next to me. There is plenty of time to see things like the main building. For now, carrying out His Majesty’s orders comes first.

Before carrying out the command, it is the duty of a guest to greet the host.

“Did we arrive first?”

“Yes, Your Excellency. The Duke of Quilanas and Cardinal Alexandriana have not arrived yet.”

“Good.”

I nodded at Sir Villar’s report. There is someone you need to contact as quickly as possible, but if there are guests greeting the owner, you are just wasting time. It was worth it to arrive in a bit of a hurry.

‘What kind of trouble is this?’

As I passed through the hallway decorated with all kinds of paintings and statues, I was able to process my complicated feelings.

I am now close to fifty. I can’t even rest properly because I’m taking care of His Majesty’s brave soldiers. I visited not only the outskirts of Armenia, but also a foreign country, the Empire. When I think of the mountain of documents I left behind with my adjutant, I can’t help but sigh.

“There is no one I can trust other than my brother. I know very well that you are busy, but please do me a favor.”

However, when His Majesty personally asks for a favor, how can I refuse?

“And while I’m gone, check out what Rutice is doing. He still listens well to his brother.”

Furthermore, I was given an order to check on the well-being of Emperor Lutis, so I couldn’t shake my head.

…Hmm.

From noble mtl dot net

“Where are you?”

“He is at the confectionery club booth. However, since he knows that His Excellency is coming, he said he will be ready to come out at any time.”

When I asked Lord Villar about his location, the answer came back immediately.

“As a subject, I cannot bother the Prince. I will go personally to greet you, so there is no need to say anything.”

I shook my head resolutely at Lord Villar.

Royalty is someone who must always listen to the worship and praise of their subjects. No matter how much His Majesty the King treats me like a younger brother, and his children treat me like an uncle, I cannot dare to tell them to come or go.

Rather, as a subject receiving undeserved trust, we should show even more reverence. That is courtesy towards the royal family and country.

“Well, that is.”

However, Lord Villar spoke and looked embarrassed.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Uncle!”

I couldn’t even ask the right question, but it wasn’t necessary. Because I immediately learned why Sir Villar was reluctant.

When I heard a loud voice, my head turned, and there I saw His Majesty Luthis running at high speed.

“…I already told you just before your Excellency arrived.”

“Huh.”

A sigh came out of my mouth. I had forgotten the obvious fact that since Sir Villar serves you closely, he would immediately convey my information to you.

Of course, even taking that into account, his ability to act is enormous. The person who said he would be ready to come out at any time has already come to the main building.

‘You were bored.’

I guess they just came in person because they had nothing to do at the booth.

If it were Jeoha’s personality, it would definitely be like that.

‘…I can contact you while I’m sending it back.’

He bowed his head to his Majesty, who had come right in front of him, and gathered his thoughts. While I’m sending him back to the booth, I can contact the Minister of Inspection.

“Welcome, uncle! It’s great to see you in this empire!”

“It is an honor to be able to serve His Majesty Soshindo, even in a foreign country.”

Before that, we must first calm down his vitality a little.
