    Episode 219 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 32 –

    When we arrived at the academy, there was a huge crowd of people.

    It wasn’t that strange.

    Starting from the day of my trial, it would have been known that I had been taken to trial for heresy.

    The kids had no idea that a grand trial called the Heresy Trial would be imposed on the nobles without any basis.

    Everyone says I won’t come back alive.

    They must have thought that they would never be able to go to the academy in their lifetime.

    And I came back alive.

    Moreover, it was an unprecedented situation where the trial was postponed on the day of the trial, not for reasons or innocence.

    “Is it true? Not a pinch hitter?”

    “You really came back alive!?”

    “Why was it postponed? Moreover, why didn’t Seonghwangcheong arrest the suspect?”

    “So there’s actually no charges? It seems like a punishment similar to a reprieve?”

    “ Because evidence was discovered in the middle of nowhere, didn’t they just postpone the trial indefinitely to avoid political controversy? As adults, don’t you think it would prick your conscience to criticize someone who is falsely guilty?”

    “Then at least one of the adults must have confessed their conscience. Even if the parties involved hide it, if they don’t come up with a story that can convince adults, eventually they will say it’s strange and file a whistleblower.”

    There is almost no interaction between departments at Seonghwangcheong.

    To the extent that theology can be fundamentally subject to different interpretations.

    This is because each party considers it desirable to dig into each other’s theology and interpret doctrine.

    This was possible because the saints were good people who were not corrupted, even if they compromised with reality.

    It could be maintained by prohibiting interpretations that could be considered heretical at periodic councils.

    Because of these measures, the saints of Seonghwangcheong could not be intimate with each other except for work.

    Because of this, an environment was created where questions could be raised officially.

    Ultimately, sainthood is the highest position in the Seonghwangcheong.

    Because there was no part of the job that they couldn’t access.

    “But what is the princess?”

    “Isn’t that because His Majesty said something about the Royal Guard? The princess was brought here because of His Majesty’s work. They are the closest royal family.”

    “Perhaps… The Emperor’s pressure was… ”

    “Why? If it is truly heresy, there is no reason to do so.”

    “But the location of Seonghwangcheong… ”

    I don’t know what “Il’s Demon Lord fought, but they say he fought because of an evil spirit. If that were the case, I wouldn’t leave the high-ranking noble heretic alone.

    Seonghwangcheong is currently only faltering due to internal problems, and is not in danger of survival. But denying that is ultimately the same as denying the foundation of the organization.”

    Everyone talks about various things and makes personal guesses.

    But nothing came close to the truth.

    If the emperor had ordered it, I wouldn’t have been summoned.

    It was normal for there to be no charges, but if that were the case, the Saint of Healing would have given me a hint.

    At least it would be normal if information came from Alice as well.

    Even Alice doesn’t know how my trial is going.

    In other words, Alice explained, there is information related to my trial that only cardinals and above can view.

    in other words. I don’t even know why I was released.

    It wasn’t that the Holy Emperor withdrew my trial because of the emperor.

    In other words, I don’t know why my trial was postponed.

    There is only speculation.

    Anyway, it was time to go in.

    They both said something to each other.

    In the end, if you react, it will burn even more.

    -Don’t just react, let’s go in.

    I spoke briefly to Alice and went inside.

    “Wait!”

    As we tried to pass, someone blocked us.

    Even if you try to ignore it, it’s not easy to blatantly ignore the person who came in front of you.

    I looked at the person approaching in front of me.

    “Hello! Imperial Academy Newspaper Department. It’s Jerry! How was I able to escape the interrogation of Seonghwangcheong today? Caw!!!!”

    I just squeezed it because it was annoying.

    Cleaning up?

    The only punishment the academy will give is suspension.

    And how could the current president, me, use force to threaten me into graduating.

    This means that there is no need to use common sense toward someone who does not necessarily have a politically dangerous background.

    And there is another reason.

    ‘How do you know it was Ariana’s trick?’

    This story has spread throughout the academy.

    Ariana will definitely know.

    That I was effectively released.

    I have no choice but to be careful because I don’t know what he’ll do.

    At least I don’t know what they’re planning.

    I’m going to go overboard and make sure things don’t go as planned.

    That’s why I gave it to you.

    “Such shameless… !”

    How shameless.

    Do you know that now?

    A normal person doesn’t give a shit to the president on the first day.

    Hello, President. I don’t know if it’s to that extent.

    “I want to write this in the newspaper! Do you think you can do such a wicked thing and still get away with it?”

    “I was the one who attacked the professor on the first day and then stretched out?”

    “It! anyway! You weren’t famous then, but now you have authority, and that would be a huge blow to you as a person! The criticism of public opinion… Can you bear it?”

    hmm. What you’re doing is a bit stupid.

    Is it really Ariana’s plan?

    You know very well that I am not a person who cares about such things based on common sense.

    What I care about is the traces I will leave behind. It’s not public opinion.

    “Let’s see… Where was it… ”

    In that case, there was a very effective method.

    Fluttering~

    something in my arms

    That’s it…

    In “… ?”

    “Sleep… ?”

    Everyone is embarrassed by what I am carrying.

    It was because of the singularity of that object.

    The appearance on the outside was anything but ordinary.

    A slightly thin rectangular wad of moya paper.

    If defined in Korean, it is a book.

    Looking at that alone, there didn’t seem to be anything surprising.

    But the sentence written there made it special.

    His Majesty the Emperor and another of his boasts. Gold Tower.

    Yes.

    I made this before to change the subject.

    It’s a terrible book.

    Of course, it was natural that the place would be in an uproar.

    “Aren’t you crazy? Are you carrying that around with you?”

    “Was that still left in the first place?”

    “Are you sane?”

    “Of course not! No sane person would do something like that, right?”

    I am sane.

    If anyone were to be reincarnated and live a life like this, they would have this kind of personality.

    It only looks strange because I hid it.

    If you have a bad past, it is common for you to turn to crime.

    Until it’s revealed, it’s like they’re just like vicious criminals.

    First, I refuted it in my own way.

    “Of course!!! Soji is no problem? Because in order to track down the culprit, the investigators also need to be remote.”

    “You are not an investigator!”

    “In the end, possession is legally okay, right? Everyone just scrapped it because they were afraid of His Majesty the Emperor.”

    Someone refuted it, but no one could refute it because my super-logic was tightly guarding me.

    The reason why the Emperor

    One is because the imperial family said it was unfounded and said they would severely punish the instigator.

    The other one was simply because people discarded it because they didn’t want to become a target for the imperial family.

    Originally, the punishment could have been expanded as the case was a serious matter.

    But there were too many people who saw or had this. Among them were nobles.

    In the end, the imperial family decided to just capture the instigator and leave the witnesses alone.

    The instigator committed suicide.

    Well, I gave my family a solid amount of money.

    And that record still lives on.

    It came to me.

    The argument intensified.

    The previous mood disappeared and the current mood shifted to my close relatives.

    But not everyone was like that.

    At least one person had doubts about me and tried to stop me.

    -Why did you suddenly bring up something like that, Abraxas? Isn’t it really something that would be of help to you? If that woman was bothersome, I could step forward. But why…

    Alice spoke in a worried voice.

    The concerns were justified.

    Because there was no reason to say anything.

    But it was all done for a reason.

    -The reason is simple. This is to allow the topic to move on to something else.

    Ariana is not a nerd.

    The duke is not an idiot and there is no reason to keep correcting a substandard successor.

    in other words. Ariana, who plans the strategy, has an intelligence advantage over us.

    The best way to overcome this is to disrupt the situation.

    in other words. It’s not going in her favor.

    -No matter what Ariana wants, if the topic changes, the plan goes awry. Ultimately, this is a battle of public opinion. If there is no revival of public opinion, the end is obvious.

    There is a high probability that that woman is not from Ariana’s faction.

    It’s probably just a ritual.

    But I was also wary of such obvious people.

    The surest way to prevent this is.

    All you have to do is mess up the plan.

    So I overdid it a bit.

    -Because I need to buy time. Until the Duke’s guard is relaxed.

    What we need is to buy time for Ygrasil to infiltrate.

    To do that, you need to be patient.

    Since there is no information, the variable is removed.

    It was a perfect operation.

    “There is no problem legally… I’d like to take issue with that… ?”

    Someone said that.

    Everyone’s eyes were focused on her.

    It’s a familiar face.

    Golden feet.

    Golden eye.

    Appearance similar to Alice.

    However, he looks much more mature.

    ‘ah… life… ‘

    One of the most powerful people in this country.

    The only magic tower in the empire. The owner of the Golden Horse Tower.

    At the same time, she is the emperor’s younger sister.

    The heroine of this book I am holding.

    Gold Tower.

    She arrived at the academy.
