Arthur felt a great change. The royal family was now losing the support of both the nobility and the common people, as their absolute authority was undermined by the failure of the war.

Any change in the power structure will soon result in chaos.

“We must normalize the ineffective People’s Assembly! One vote per person!”

“One vote per person!”

Arthur was starting to feel uncomfortable sitting down.

“Shall we go out soon?”

“why?”

“Isn’t it noisy?”

You never know when the guards will come and arrest the people here. It’ll be a pain if they do.

“That’s true.”

Mark nodded as he said that. His gaze towards Arthur seemed strangely disappointed.

He asked Arthur as he got up.

“What is your purpose in living?”

“Well, one thing is for sure, it’s not for any grand reason.”

He nodded at Arthur’s answer. Then he said:

“Yes, people don’t need grand reasons to live. But sometimes, there are people who are pushed by fate and have a mission.”

“Are you saying that as if Attorney Mark was fucking Joe Ran?”

As Arthur tried to lighten the serious conversation, Mark snickered and responded.

“That is the joy of my life.”

On the advice of his lawyer Mark, Arthur agreed to pay the two gold coins that Ossarin Conte demanded as a settlement. And the money came from Arthur’s own pocket. Two gold coins were not difficult for him.

“Thank you, Death Penalty!”

Kadan thanked Arthur as he signed the loan agreement.

The interest rate was 7% per year, and early repayment was possible whenever money was available. Although they deducted 7% in advance interest now, if you paid off the principal diligently, the following year only interest would be added to the reduced principal. This was a very favorable condition that could not be found anywhere else, not only at Saint Scala but also at Trosuras.

“From now on, I will work hard and save what I can, so I can pay it off quickly.”

“yes!”

Arthur took Kadan’s loan certificate and went to meet Osarin together.

He looked at Kadan with a fearful expression, but Kadan immediately bowed and apologized.

“I was wrong, sir!”

But Kadan still listened to Arthur. No matter how much he thought about it, there was no one around him who took care of him as much as Arthur.

Didn’t you even meet with a lawyer to find out about this case? That weak-looking guy is actually a big shot with a lot of connections. Isn’t he a trap that you shouldn’t step on?

Kadan did not doubt Arthur’s investigation. He was not the type to talk nonsense.

So, I didn’t feel bad about bowing down to that gentleman. Rather, I thought it was fortunate that I avoided a situation where I almost ended up in the abyss because I messed with the wrong person.

Arthur handed Osarin two gold coins, slightly embarrassed by Kadan’s apology. They were genuine gold coins with the kingdom’s seal, and even had a certificate of guarantee from Mako Trading Company attached.

“Here is my consolation money. Please forgive me for being such a bad priest.”

“Keukeuhem! Okay. Let’s wrap this up here.”

Osarin nodded to Arthur’s words as he collected the gold coins. But Arthur did not just turn back.

“I would like you to write me a confirmation letter.”

“A confirmation?”

“A letter confirming that the lawyer has received our consolation money and forgiven my priest. As you know, it is a lot of money, isn’t it?”

Osarin was a lawyer, so Arthur’s words didn’t bother him that much. Rather, he thought they were reasonable.

As a lawyer, I often encountered or heard stories of authors who were unreasonable and tried to get things done when they couldn’t, so I was actually glad to see Arthur’s attitude of trying to bring the situation to a clear conclusion.

Osarin asked Arthur, writing his confirmation on a blank piece of paper.

“You seem to know a lot about this stuff. Are you by any chance well-versed in the law?”

“It’s a habit that developed as I worked on contracts involving large sums of money.”

“Tsk tsk. If only everyone were like you, there would be half as many unnecessary lawsuits.”

Osarin signed the completed certificate and handed it to Arthur. Arthur carefully held it and bowed.

“I am sorry to hear of this unfortunate incident. I hope to see you again on good terms next time.”

“All right.”

Osarin smiled and shook hands with Arthur. Arthur’s polite and courteous attitude made him forget all the anger he felt towards Kadan.

Arthur thought his relationship with Osarin would end here, but it was reconnected in an unexpected place.

The Academy of the Kingdom of Skara was a school established to train talents to manage the kingdom, and was a place where basic civic education as well as higher academic education were possible.

Tuition was expensive, and you had to have one of two things to get in: brains or money.

If you had money, you could enroll even if you were not smart, and even if you did not have money, if you had smarts, that is, if you had excellent grades, you could receive sponsorship and study.

“Is Rel coming to Seoul this time?”

Arthur nodded at Viana’s question and continued reading the admissions guidelines.

Haltz Boot, the teacher who taught Rel, wrote to Arthur, saying, “Is it time for Rel to experience the wider world now?”

Arthur agreed with Haltz Boot’s letter that he needed to make friends and expand his network to become a scholar, and he researched the academy he had recommended.

The results of the investigation showed that the entrance exam was important, as students with excellent grades were given the privilege of being exempted from tuition.

Although the cost of living in the expensive capital is a problem, it was not difficult to receive sponsorship if your grades were good enough to be exempted from tuition.

The letter from Haltz Boot also contained information about the subjects that Rel had to take. He said that he would teach her as much as he could and send her what she needed, but he also asked her to make sure that she studied hard and didn’t slack off until the test day.

The test subjects were basically language, mathematics, and various other subjects. Arthur went to a bookstore near the academy to see if he could get some past exam questions.

“welcome!”

“Do you have any past exam questions from the Academy entrance exam?”

At those words, the bookstore owner rolled his eyes, lowered his voice, and asked.

“Where did you hear that?”

It seems that it exists, but it seems that it is being traded very secretly. If that is the case, then it would be foolish to naively say, ‘I guessed it out of my head and came here.’

“I did a lot of research.”

“Is that so? Then this way.”

Arthur followed the bookstore owner inside. Inside, there was a small printing room. It was only big enough to print small books or flyers.

As the bookstore owner crouched in the corner taking something out, someone came out of a side door inside, wiping his hands.

He looked at Arthur and made a dumb expression.

“uh?”

“uh?”

Arthur was also surprised. He had never expected to meet Ossarin Conte, a lawyer, in a place like this.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Osarin.”

“Oh, yes, Mr. Arthur.”

Osarin reluctantly accepted Arthur’s greeting with a bashful expression. The bookstore owner, who stood up from the corner holding a piece of paper, looked at the two and asked.

“Did you two know each other?”

“Yes, well… … .”

As Arthur nodded, trailing off, the bookseller spoke to Osarin.

“I guess you told me. I didn’t see it that way… … .”

“no!”

Osarin waved her hand as if asking what he was talking about, but the bookstore owner nodded as if he understood.

“People can’t always keep their mouths shut. I understand.”

Osarin had a look of injustice on his face, but he knew that saying more would be useless, so he kept his mouth shut, and the bookseller handed Arthur a piece of paper.

“This is it.”

“How much is it?”

“30 silver coins.”

“… … It’s too expensive.”

25 silver coins was the living expenses of a family for half a year. But it is not a leak issue, so how can the past exam questions be this expensive?

“Then you don’t have to buy it.”

“for a moment.”

Arthur opened his mouth quickly at the confidence of the bookstore owner. But he still couldn’t decide whether he was being fooled or not.

“Can you explain why past exam questions cost that much?”

“Well, our bookstore’s is the most accurate.”

“yes?”

“The past exam questions sold at other bookstores are just questions that college students scribbled down, but what we are talking about is verified past exam questions.”

The academy entrance exam collects the test papers after the exam. So how can you know the past questions?

One is to ask the students who took the test, and the other is to get past questions from the test administrator.

While the former had to overcome the difficulty of young students’ memories, the latter had the problem of extracting past exam questions itself.

Considering the hassle for teachers and the academy to create new questions every year out of fear of asking the same questions as the ones from last year, the security of the academy administration, and the various vested interests involved in the academy exams that are directly related to the path to success, selling past exam questions as past exam questions was highly problematic.

However, many people worked hard to pass the exam and get better grades, and naturally, there was a demand for past exam questions. It was capitalistically inevitable for publishing companies to contact students or use college students to create questions that were supposed to be past exam questions. They also secretly sold them so that they would not cause problems.

“Verified? How?”

“That’s all I can tell you.”

The bookstore owner hardened his expression and kept his mouth shut.

Arthur had no choice but to take the checkbook out of his pocket, but the bookstore owner looked embarrassed.

“Promissory notes are not allowed.”

“Is this a check from Mato Company?”

“Cash only.”

“Oh no… I don’t have any cash.”

“Then come back again next time.”

The bookstore owner seemed to have no doubts about the value of the goods he was selling.

Arthur, who was observing the bookstore owner’s reaction with calm eyes, did not feel that his attitude was false or fraudulent.

Arthur had no choice but to put the checkbook back in his pocket.

“Then I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“It may not exist after tomorrow.”

“All right.”

Arthur said that to the bookstore owner, then looked at Osarin, who was whining like a puppy that needed to poop, and went out.

As I was walking away from the bookstore, someone came running out of breath from behind me. It was Osarin.

“Heh! Heh! Over there, over there!”

“What is it, Mr. Osarin Conte, a bookseller?”

“no!”

“What is it?”

“It’s a side job! A side job!”

Osarin said that this is what you do as a lawyer when you don’t have any requests?

“Contrary to what you said, it seems like your work as a lawyer isn’t going so well.”

Osarin’s face flushed at Arthur’s harsh words. The bruises that had not yet fully healed became clearer.

“It’s a temporary recession!”

“I understand.”

After all, if you look closely, the profession of a lawyer is also a self-employed professional profession. So, isn’t sales essential and competition a destiny?

So, I fully understand that Attorney Osarin’s business is not going well.

However, I did not let it slide because I had spent two gold coins as a settlement money disguised as consolation money. Attorney Mark must have given me advice for a reason.

As Arthur was about to turn around, Osarin spoke urgently.

“Are you thinking of enrolling in the academy?”

“My younger brother.”

“Then, are you not thinking of having her tutored?”

“Tutoring?”

“yes.”
