After returning to the Academy, Elfin went to report to the Empress, while Ion and Lulu each went their separate ways to contact their homes.

I also immediately took Night, Hoyo, and Bandi and returned to the study group.

There were three people who urged me to rest, but since I had finished important work first and was planning to get some rest (I was going to rest for the next 3-4 days anyway), I insisted and headed to the club room.

“If you have something urgent to say…?”

Night looks at me from the chairman’s seat as if he is quite curious.

Hoyo looks like, “What’s going on?” and Bandi looks a little nervous.

“First of all, I decided to team up with Elfin, Ion, and Lulu.”

As expected, Bandi’s face darkened slightly with an expression that said, “Bam and Hoyo looked surprised.”

“What, in such a crisis situation, special feelings between men and women arise. It’s a cliché that’s a royal road even in miscellaneous books.”

“Hah~~ I see~ Congratulations, Ain. This is a shame~”

Night nodded, and Hoyo congratulated him with a laugh. Bandi smiled slightly.

“It’s a shame, seniors. I plan on letting all of you join my group.

The clubroom, which had become so quiet that not even the sound of dust rolling could be heard for a moment after my declaration, soon began to erupt into a huge commotion. (They were so surprised that even the maids who had been waiting came into the clubroom.)

“Me, me, me, us, us too?!?”

“Yes. No, yeah.”

“But the Crown Princess and the other young ladies…”

“There’s no such thing. I decided to take them all.”

“Ugh…!”

After a while, the chaos calmed down, and the three were finally able to calm their minds.

Only then was I able to convey to the three members of the miscellaneous study group the same conditions I had demanded from the three main heroines.

“So… there is no hierarchy, and Ain is not overprotected. And…”

“A week on the way back…huh…”

Surprisingly, the main heroine trio and the miscellaneous book study group didn’t have any major complaints about me being the eldest or not having a hierarchy. They mostly focused on not being overprotective of me, but since I was being pushy, they just said, “Well, that’s okay,” and let it slide.

“There’s a lot to share opinions about…so I’d like to get together here in the club room.”

The night nodded without hesitation at my words.

“That’s not difficult.”

“Then I must now prepare to persuade your parents. And the Empress.”

The night was simply a gathering of the study group, and Hoyo nodded at my words.

“Oh my… Your Highness, no, Elfin is here. Are you okay?”

“If you need help, just tell me, Ain.”

Bandido also adds strength with a worried expression. But this is something I, who claims to be the leader of the group, must do.

If you just say you’re the best and act like a man, the females will follow you.

“It’s okay, Bandi. Leave it to me. The Empress or your parents. I can do it.”

At my determined expression and firm words, Bandi smiled faintly and nodded in understanding, while Hoyo blushed and became excited.

“Oh oh, really cool. He looks like the main character from ‘The Struggle of the Young-sik Knight’.”

“Yes. I agree.”

Night nodded, and I smiled and said that I was tired and would go rest, and I left the club room while being seen off by the study group (and the maids who were overcome with emotion).

“There is no hierarchy? I don’t understand. And the male is the oldest. I can’t accept it.

“This is our problem, not the Empress’s. My people will do as I see fit.”

“But I am the mother of your flock and the supreme ruler of the empire. This is something I cannot accept.”

“I am the elfin pack male and the head of the pack. I will raise the banner of the pack and the family and make the judgment call.”

The next day, in the private interview room where I had first met Empress Alexandra, I was locked in a fierce battle for dominance with the Empress.

The battle without weapons was so fierce that the surrounding temperature became cold, and even the elfins of the world were cowering, their ears pressed against their heads, and they were just wiggling their feet.

Her night raven, Cheshire, is hiding behind Elfin with a face as blue as a ‘I’m going to die if I stay here any longer’ expression.

“Are you planning to disobey the Empress’s orders?”

“Does the Empress interfere in the affairs of the people? It is clear oppression.”

I face the Empress’s icy gaze head-on, not blinking or avoiding it even once.

On the surface, it appears to be a black jaguar cub standing with its back straight to face the predatory gaze of a large female lion.

Only when Elfin’s face turned pale under the pressure did Empress Alexandra burst out laughing as if to say, “Hahaha,” as if to say, “When did you ever act so violently?”

“Ahahahahaha! That’s right! That’s right. I wasn’t seeing things wrong. Hahaha! ”

As the Empress bursts into laughter, the oppressive feeling that seemed to weigh everything down around her disappears without a trace. Only then do Elfin and Chesha have expressions that say, “We’re finally alive.”

“I lost, I lost. Ain Baron Youngsik. As you said, your group. You can do whatever you want. It bothers me that my daughter is not number one in the hierarchy, but if you, the head of the household, say so, then so be it.”

She acknowledged it with such a smile and sat back down on the chair with her legs crossed in an elegant posture. The dark, secret space between her smooth, firm legs caught my eye for a moment, but I could barely turn my head away.

“Then, if I join your group, will I also become equal to other children?”

“Oh, Your Majesty!”

Elfin shouts in surprise, but I respond immediately without changing my expression as if it were a given.

“Of course. When you join my group, you’re just Sasha (a common nickname for the female name Alexandra).”

“Hahahaha! Sasha, yes. Sasha. Only the Emperor, my father, and the king could call me that. Hahaha, that’s really funny.”

Empress Alexandra laughed so loudly that the large breasts she had so graciously passed down to Elphin jiggled up and down.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve laughed like this. Oh, right. Last time, Baron Ain, Youngsik, no… right. ”

For a moment, a playful expression appears on Empress Alexandra’s face.

“Now I guess I should call him Ain So-Guk-Seo (a term for the princess’ husband).”

“…”

Come to think of it, that’s true. When we formed the group, we accepted elfin without thinking, and that’s why we had that problem.

The husband of the Empress is called the King’s Secretary, and the husband of the Princess is called the Small Secretary, so if things were as they were, I would also be entering the Imperial Palace.

“My daughter is in the academy, so it would be right for Sogookseo to be in the academy too. But…”

The Empress muttered, examining her sharp, elegantly grown fingernails.

“After graduation, I guess I’ll have to come to the Hwangseong. I think there’s no disagreement, Ain So-guk-seo.”

“…Understood, Your Majesty.”

Since I’m going to return to my original world after graduation anyway, I guess this body will belong to its original owner(?) after graduation. Cheer up, me. I can’t lose, me.

While I was muttering to myself like that, the Empress was talking about trivial things with Elfin, and Chesha changed her hiding place from Elfin to me and hid behind me.

“What are you going to do about the science of kingship, Elfin?”

“I have discussed with the Prime Minister that I will study on my own while staying with Ain.”

“Yes, as the small country says, you need to get some proper rest. I won’t check on you, so when you’re with the small country, try to spend more time with him than studying.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I heard it’s made up of the female members of Blood Sustained and the Duke of Moratium, Anastasia and the Marquis of Goldbunny, and the young ladies of Count Iron Foxtrot.”

“Yes, my goodness.”

“It’s better. If the family is harmonious, things outside will go well. They can be said to be the backbone of the empire, so keep them close and make them into four people.”

As Empress Alexandra said, the females that formed a group with me are all from families with no shortcomings, so if I just hold onto one line well, I have a background that can provide me with enough support to live off of in the empire without any problems.

I’m at the level where I’ve wrapped my whole body in all those lines, but Elfin can also be seen as a blessing.

‘There were four princesses, the Empress’s daughters…’

Under Empress Alexandra, there was one daughter under the First Kingdom, two daughters and one son under the Second Kingdom, and Elphin and Elphin, the father of the Third Kingdom.

The Empress’s children are now four daughters and one son.

Among them, the first princess, the eldest daughter of the first state, and the third princess, the second daughter of the second state, are in a sharp conflict over imperial power.

Fortunately, the second princess withdrew from the competition for the imperial throne early on and chose to work for the empire together with the first prince, the son of the second king.

‘As far as I know, Elfin is also participating in the competition for the throne.’

If Elfin enters the competition here, it will be a three-way battle for the throne.

This fact is not well revealed in the game and does not exist as content, but the reason I know this fact is because I bought and read all of the setting books and art books for Academy Story 2.

‘Sure, it would be a huge help in the race for the throne if Elfin got along with the other kids. They had to want it, though.’

As of now, my female followers are students at the Academy, neither young nor old enough to jump into politics.

However, Empress Alexandra will still be sitting on the throne at least until Elphin graduates, so Elphin, although a latecomer, will be able to graduate with at least some of the foundational power within the Academy.

“Then let’s meet next time.”

“Okay, Your Majesty.”

Empress Alexandra, standing in front of the dimensional gate, glanced at me and smiled seductively.

“Ain So-Guk-Seo, I hope you make me smile again next time we meet.”

Then he speaks to Elfin in a way that is almost like a monologue that cannot be heard…

“And even if there is a male with a female, it is not impossible to take her…”
