I Was Given a Political Marriage - I Was Given a Political Marriage chapter 39

39 – Little Fight (1)

I don’t know how many days have passed. A life of spending the night with Eileen every day, meeting the princess and talking to Scarlett.

To be honest, I don’t think this kind of life is too bad.

However, time continued to pass savagely, and before I knew it, I took off the mask of autumn, and it became a cold winter.

Sometimes when I look up at the sky, I feel the winter as I see the white snowflakes falling indifferently.

“Whoa, Eileen. Doesn’t the academy seem quiet these days?”

As winter approached, the atmosphere at the academy seemed to change compared to autumn.

If it was originally the same, it should have been a scene of youth, but now everyone has a dark face, just like the Cold War era.

“I heard that the academy has been in trouble lately.”

“Is something going on?”

Eileen, who had a wider network of information than I, had a dark face as if she knew something.

“I heard that the cadets have been fighting a little lately.”

“Fight? Everyone’s aristocrats, but that’s fine… Ah.”

I was surprised at first because it was a fight, but I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut with one hypothesis.

In most cases, nobles do not quarrel with each other.

No matter how noble he was, he couldn’t ignore the business they were doing.

Originally, if one fund started to collapse, everything would collapse quickly, so I always had to be careful with my words and actions.

“A commoner… a noble?”

“…huh.”

However, if commoners were opponents, the words would change.

They will be in a state like lambs in a lawless zone without any backing, friendship, or networking.

It was here that most of the targets of the aristocrats with bad personalities were commoners.

“Well, rather than fighting, it exploded after being touched. It’s like stupid guys trying to suppress it like a spring and it exploded… There must have been no way to stop it.”

“But there won’t be any big incidents? I have to graduate from the academy too… What are you going to do?”

“It should be.”

From nob le mt l. co m

No matter how much nervous warfare is going on, everyone is in the position of a cadet.

Aristocrats didn’t know about it, but I couldn’t imagine that commoner cadets, who had a great qualification with only a diploma, would do something big.

‘Does Scarlett know too? I’ll ask later.’

Even if the atmosphere isn’t good right now, all I can do is pray and wait for things to go well.

As a lower nobleman and a man, I can’t do anything.

“I’m a little worried though.”

“Is there anything to worry about? Force is prohibited in the academy anyway.”

“No… but historically.”

‘Well, in any country, the end of a country with a status system…’

It seemed that there were fewer rebellions in the history of the empire than I thought.

Still, just as there’s nothing wrong with being careful, it seemed like there wouldn’t be anything good if we touched commoner students.

Because once a person’s emotions burst out, they keep coming out like a flood.

“Sian, what are you doing?”

“Yes. Let’s go quickly.”

I stopped thinking at Eileen’s hand pulling me.

Cool wind and atmosphere. In the meantime, I was able to witness several scenes while walking around.

“Move away. Tsk… Noisy, useless guys.”

“You. What?”

A woman who blew a shoulder bread while passing by a commoner cadet who was talking normally.

Perhaps the decorations on the clothes made the house look good.

‘He’s a fool I’ve seen often.’

He was an example of an aristocrat with an extremely ordinary bad personality.

He is a type of person who misses the timing that should have been corrected when he was young and makes people frown just by looking at him.

“What did you say? Can you hear me again? Don’t block the road and stay quiet.”

“You say you don’t have any skills.”

“Hmm? What are you saying…”

For a moment, I wondered if I had heard it wrong. Looking at the epaulettes on both of their arms, they were knight cadets.

‘Is it okay if I say that?’

Inside the academy, the power is lessened by the outside, but… If you say that, you may be bullied later.

“If you have less skills than me, tell me not to show up, or should I take off the rank insignia and fight?”

The black-haired cadet widened his eyes at the nobleman and gave him a slight push on the shoulder.

I couldn’t believe I was watching from the side, so I wiped my eyes once to see if this was real.

The idiot seemed to be surprised, but he hesitated for a moment, but soon he seemed to have come back to his senses, rather, he raised the sword from the scabbard as if to kill him.

An imminent situation, an atmosphere where even a knife fight could happen right now.

The cadets from the same commoners who were watching next to the commoner cadets joined forces and increased their momentum.

“Eileen, shouldn’t that be stopped? Other people are joining in now.”

“I’ll have to call the professor first.”

However, the professors came faster than we thought.

I don’t know who called, but the situation was quickly calmed down by the appearance of the professor who came running in a hurry.

However, looking at the two forces glaring at each other even during the lull, I instinctively knew that the future would be difficult.

“Eileen, aren’t you a little scared of me?”

“…I used to be careful because of my reputation, but these days I’m more careful.”

“yes?”

After that incident, a cold storm began to blow inside the academy.

Most of the knight cadets, who came from commoners, walked around with a real sword, not a sword, on their waists.

They were moving around systematically in small groups.

Naturally, the nerds who were usually out there kept their mouths shut as if they had noticed the atmosphere.

‘Rather, it had the opposite effect.’

The commoners also felt that this worked, leading to an increase in their unity.

Now, the aristocratic cadets, who had been living normally, became nervous.

“It’s scary, but… are you really going to fight?

“But every time stupid people screw it up.”

We wish for nothing to happen and be quiet, but there are always people who ruin everything, so it was a problem.

I don’t know yet, but it feels like putting a bomb next to it right before it explodes.

At least it was thanks to one woman that I was able to go to the academy with peace of mind.

“Scarlett! Will you go out with me today?”

“Yes, because the princess said she had something to say to Eileen again.”

After the last meeting, the princess called Eileen every day.

Of course, he hated it, but Aileen went to see the princess every day, despite being annoyed.

Naturally, I also met Scarlett every day and asked each other how they were doing.

Every day we met, we moved from place to place and toured the inside of the academy together.

One day under a tree, the next day a cafe.

I traveled to many places and enjoyed dating that wasn’t a date.

“A precious person has come to such a humble place.”

“Why did the high-ranking person come to this pigsty~ hahahaha, or did he come to a temple?”

“Ugh…”

From nob le mt l. co m

Now, the day has come when commoners, not nobles, start fighting first.

There was nothing to lose anyway, so I was often seen arguing casually.

‘I didn’t expect to receive it.’

Although I am an aristocrat, I have never been particularly discriminated against, but when I did, I felt a little dizzy.

“Hey. Get out if you don’t want to search. I can break your necks now, so go.”

“I was unlucky enough to get caught by that b*tch…”

“Hmm? Scarlett, how did this happen?”

I tried to pass by quietly, but with Scarlett’s words, the cadets kept their mouth shut and disappeared far away.

“It’s just… I got some real power.”

“The real thing? How?”

“There’s something like that. Xian. Now, those guys aren’t there, so would you like to sit here and eat some cookies?”

“Oh.. it looks delicious. Did the princess prepare this for you?”

“Yeah, he took care of me to eat alone with you.”

The sweets and snacks from Scarlett’s basket looked quite delicious.

From nob le mt l. co m

Not only did it look delicious, but there were also rare snacks that even nobles could not find.

“I’ll eat well, Scarlett. First of all, I’ll start with cookies.”

Crisp. I swallowed at the overwhelming sweetness I felt when I put a piece of cookie into my mouth.

Even though you are obviously enjoying it in your mouth, your body responds first and it feels like it is crying out for more.

“This is the best…”

“Try this tea, too.”

Finally, taking a bite of the tea Scarlett gave me, I felt the greatest happiness.

It was about 30 minutes after I started eating snacks.

‘Why can’t I sleep like this… ?’

I must have taken a nap during the lecture today, but strangely, I fell asleep, and my eyes kept closing.

After staggering, I leaned my head on Scarlett’s shoulder and felt the warmth, so I didn’t want to fall.

“Scarlett… I’m going to sleep for a while.”

“I know. Good night Xian.”

Scarlett forcibly kept her eyes open and watched. For some reason, instead of a normal smile, she was raising one corner of her mouth anxiously.

“It really worked…”

Gulp, I swallowed the saliva flowing from my mouth with excitement.

At lunch today, the benefits of black tea that Bestea had told me about were really true.

[It has no effect on women, but it is a tea that helps men sleep. Scarlett will be fine to drink, so would you like to take it?]

When I received the black tea that was handed out for no reason, I could immediately think of a place to use it.

“You shouldn’t fall asleep here… You can go back. So… Shall we go to the room for a while?”

Looking at his sleeping face, I felt a terrible dirty desire.
