January 23, 187, 9 o’clock in the morning.

After stretching out in the student center, the Crown Princess looked at the document she had been writing down.

Recipient: Academy Dean Russell Corvus, Black Count of Quain Island, White Count of the Great Lakes, Guardian of Romello Village, Heir of the Circle, Lord Judgment, Bane of the Warlocks, Librarian of the Ashen Library, Hunter of Hunters.

Sender: Academy Student Council President Lilac Bonnet, Empress Dowager of the Aeorid Empire, Duchess Closum, Commander of the Blue Paulownia Knights, Honorary Commander of the Imperial Army…

Lilac, who was listing the princess’s sixteen titles, stopped her pen.

After thinking for a moment, she crumpled the letter, threw it in the trash, and brought out a new letter.

And I wrote it like this:

Dear Dean Russell Corbus, This is from Student Body President Lilac Bonnet.

She nodded as if satisfied.

This side is better. It is dangerous to try to borrow the authority of the imperial family.

Let’s adopt the attitude of the student council president who is purely concerned about the academy.

The pen Lilac held embroidered the paper with elegant calligraphy.

She first wrote about how the Academy got started.

The Holy Kingdom of Eight Roads was destroyed by intemperate magicians.

The Aeorid continent fell into chaos after the fall of the Holy Kingdom.

The creation of the Circle, an organization that hunts down wizards who cross the line.

‘The wizards of the circle are those who block magic with magic, and those who judge wizards.

In order to endure that contradiction, the circle guarded against arrogance and made humility the top priority.’

So the circle left the selection of students to luck.

If you select students based on ability or talent, you will fall into the illusion that you are judging others because you are qualified.

After selecting talent without paying attention to talent, the talented students were taught for a long time and the genius students were taught briefly.

But as noble as its ideals were, its downfall was also rapid.

Within a generation, the talented could not bear to be treated the same as the untalented.

They felt more sorry than anyone else about missing out on geniuses due to the random selection of the circle.

Many of them began to select the equipment they saw while traveling around the continent as their best disciples.

Before we knew it, the number of top disciples hand-picked by the judges had become as numerous as the regular disciples selected at random.

‘And so the division began.

A white circle, which calls for maintaining random selection, and a black circle, which calls for directly selecting talented people.’

The conflict between the white and black circles gradually worsened.

Eventually, classes began to be completely separate and lectures were held in different places.

If this trend had continued, the circle would have torn into two different organizations.

‘But at that time, my 7th great-grandfather, Harold I, unified the continent and became the first emperor.’

Despite conflicting and growling with each other, the Circle carried out its mission perfectly.

The white circle symbolizes fairness and balance, and the black circle symbolizes strength and determination.

They subdued the runaway wizards who were invading the continent, and on that basis, ‘Hammerstorm’ Harold unified the continent.

A circle appeared in the eyes of Harold, who had become the loser of the Aeorid continent.

Judges who have been fighting wizards for over a hundred years and know how to hunt wizards better than anyone else.

Harold wanted their power. Circle wanted to train his men to be wizard hunters.

‘The 7th great ancestor made a treaty with the two circles.

Instead of permanently maintaining their traditions, the two circles teach talents recommended by the imperial family for a certain period of time.

In order to receive the enormous privileges and support bestowed by the imperial court, the two circles were reunited and their name changed to the Academy.’

After writing this far, Lilac yawned. She blinked sleepily.

I tried to open my eyes somehow, but when I lost consciousness for a moment, my head fell down, and the weight of my eyelids became increasingly unbearable.

Since last night, the Crown Princess has been writing letters non-stop.

To the emperor, to the craftsmen of the imperial workshop, and to the five dukes.

To the academy dormitory superintendents, the student affairs director, and the research director.

So that Coleman’s game gets the help it needs to replace Duel, or at least not be hindered.

I used all the kingship and rhetoric I had learned before coming to the academy to persuade the officials.

The reason why I secretly came out early in the morning and did such an important work alone.

‘Then everyone might think that I used my strength to make the game a success.’

Lilac hoped that neither Coleman, Cleo, nor Hwayoung would pay attention to the fact that she was the Crown Princess.

He didn’t want to make it seem like the game’s success was due to his favors and politics.

So, despite my tired body, I wrote the letter at night while the student council was sleeping.

But now her physical strength has reached its limit.

‘I have to write it…’ Now we must discuss the imperial conquest that was possible thanks to the Academy…

When the conquest was over and the era of peace came… Other countries were also jealous of the academy’s education… We started sending international students to the academy… They ended up living in the Kuroshio Dormitory… ‘

She barely got up and opened the window.

A cold breeze blew in, awakening Lilac’s spirit.

The Crown Princess completed the following paragraph with Hangi’s help.

‘The vast empire now had an unprecedented number of officials and officers.

As peace came, a middle class began to emerge, and they wanted a more comfortable and peaceful life.

Bureaucrats, officers, and citizens all wanted the same thing. ‘More wizards.’

Lilac’s body hit the desk.

The pen, freed from the pressure of the hand, rolled over and fell to the bottom of the desk.

In the cold wind blowing through the open window, Lilac fell into a sweet sleep.

How much time has passed?

Lilac’s consciousness rose slightly to the surface at the sound of someone opening the door.

It wasn’t enough to muster the will to wake up, but it was still enough to discern the owner of the voice.

“Chairman?”

It’s Coleman’s voice.

Urgent footsteps, followed by the sound of a window closing.

And the sound of footsteps rushing away from me.

I don’t know why, but Lilac found the sound of those footsteps a little harsh.

“Coleman! Is the Chairman there?”

“Seeing as he isn’t in the dormitory, he must be here.

You asked me to deliver this material by today.”

Two voices heard through the closed door of the student council room.

One is very familiar. That of Tangaroa, the platypus beast.

The other orc voice is Darmu, the student council president.

Her sense of reason returned a little.

You have to wake up.

The data requested from Darmu is information on students who lead public opinion in each dormitory.

Because it was sensitive information, she had to receive it herself.

But my body was too stiff.

My fingers were stiff and I couldn’t move them, probably because the cold wind had hit my joints.

“President, you are not in the student council room.”

Coleman’s voice.

“It can’t be helped. Professor Dharmu, we will tell you.”

“His Majesty clearly told him to pass it on personally as he did not want others to see it.”

“Professor. I will take responsibility and deliver it in a sealed condition, so you can rest assured.”

A long silence follows Tangaroa’s affirmation.

And the sound of footsteps moving away.

There was a squeak, and the door opened again.

“Oh my gosh, where on earth is our chairman-

what? Are you there? Chairman!”

“Do not wake me up. I’m not in shape to work right now.”

Should I get up? I’ve already woken up a bit.

Should I pretend to wake up now?

But fatigue was still taking over Lilac’s brain, so she still pretended to sleep.

When Coleman’s warm hands began kneading her fingers, she almost jumped away.

“What are you doing?”

“My hands are all stiff. If you leave it like this, you’ll get frostbite.”

A hand pressing her thin fingers one by one.

Should I get up now? Even now? Pretend to wake up with this-

Wow!

Lilac’s body floated.

Coleman supported Lilac’s knees and neck and carried her somewhere.

His hard chest rubbed against her soft chest.

The Crown Princess was sure that her face was as hot as blush.

The sleepiness had already disappeared, but I didn’t dare open my eyelids because I was afraid of the repercussions that would occur if I opened my eyes.

The sound of my heart pounding, blood rushing to my head due to embarrassment and tension.

“Now I see you also have a fever.”

Coleman muttered that and laid Lilac down on the sofa.

There was the sound of clothes being taken off, and then something covered her stomach.

“Hey. How will you get back to work if you take off your coat?”

“Your skin was cold, but your breathing was heavy, so you were suffering from body aches due to the cold wind.

There are no blankets in the student council, so you have to cover them until they wake up.”

“No, I understand, but how do you get back to the dormitory?”

“You can just run and go back. It doesn’t get cold when I run. Vice President, are you going to wait until the Chairman wakes up?”

“What. I have to pass this along, so I guess so.”

“I have to discuss the design with Hwayoung, so I’ll go there first. Chairman, please take good care of me.”

Crack. The sound of running footsteps.

don’t go! What if you make a person like this and then he goes with another woman?

However, Lilac’s anxious feelings were not conveyed, and the door to the student council room opened and closed once again.

Silence for a moment.

and-

bang!

“Ugh!”

Lilac reflexively screamed at the sound of a thick document hitting the table next to the sofa.

And Tangaroa’s sarcastic voice is heard.

“Coleman is also very dull.

Anyone can see that he was awake from the time he kneaded his hands, but he didn’t know that.”

The Crown Princess checked the two coats covering her body.

One for himself and one for Coleman.

“No. It would be so awkward if I woke up in that situation.”

“So you didn’t get up and held on till the end?

Well, thanks to pretending to sleep like that, I was able to see it even when I was held in the arms of a handsome boy from the spirit world-”

“Stop!”

Lilac slapped her face with her hands.

Coleman, are you crazy? Just wake them up, how can you hold someone…

Tangaroa laughed, clicking his beak as if he was very amused.

“It’s been a while since I saw you. Her Majesty the Crown Princess can’t manage her facial expressions.”

“Be quiet.”

“Anyway, I’ve provided you with the materials, so I’ll leave now.

Oh, Chairman?”

Tangaroa, who was about to leave the student council room, smiled sinisterly.

“You shouldn’t sniff the coat of a boy two years younger than you to savor the scent?”

“You are really going to die!”

The vice president chuckles and leaves.

Lilac got up from the sofa, breathing heavily.

My head is pounding. I really don’t know what happened.

ah. I should have left my coat with Tangaroa.

If this is the case, I have to deliver it myself.

As I was folding my coat and putting it on my arm, Tangaroa’s words came to mind.

smell. The smell of Coleman’s sweat permeates here…

Imperial Princess Lilac Bonnet looked around.

And for a moment, just a moment, he brought the coat to his nose and then took it off.
