This body.

A day has passed since I possessed the body of a man named Adrian Floyd.

At first, it was just absurd.

Isn’t that so?

It’s not a novel, it’s a fantasy.

But that was only for a moment, as if an old computer were loading information, the memories of this body’s original owner slowly began to seep into me, and I had no choice but to face reality.

‘He must have been murdered, right?’

At first I thought it was my own blood.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a red liquid spreading in all directions.

I was struggling to survive in the middle of it all.

I still can’t remember that part at all.

Was he really murdered or did he commit suicide?

The only good thing is that because I was possessed, the bleeding had already stopped and there were no traces of a cut or stab wound.

I had no trouble walking and didn’t feel any particular pain.

There was no anemia at all, which was almost miraculous considering the amount of blood loss.

‘For something like that, the scars on his body were quite severe…’

Most of them looked like scars from a long time ago, and it was difficult to see them as wounds that had just healed.

What kind of life have I been living?

Well, whatever.

What I’ve learned over the past day is that this man’s name is Adrian Floyd.

The location where I woke up at the time was the guest wing of the palace.

And that I was part of the court tutors who taught the king’s descendants.

Even if you’re going to do it, if you’re going to do it, you should do it as a king or a prince so that you can live comfortably.

‘But, well, it’s not all bad..’

It’s a bit disappointing, but that doesn’t mean we should necessarily view the court tutor in a negative light.

It’s just that my memories haven’t come back yet, but once I do, I’ll be more knowledgeable than anyone else about the information in this world.

It will help you a lot in adapting.

‘Looks like it’s a world where magic exists…’

It wasn’t like I could create fire with my hands right away, but it definitely seemed like that kind of world.

It seems that there are also threatening monsters.

But it wasn’t a big problem.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing games since I was little, but I never really worried about the future.

Should I say that I rather looked forward to it?

‘Anyway, I’m already dead.’

Adrian Floyd, and I on Earth, have also ended my life.

That too, horribly.

So, although it’s not something I desperately wanted, I want to live this extra life that I’ve been given to live properly.

Try everything you’ve never done, eat everything you’ve never eaten, and make sure you don’t regret anything.

I’ve never believed in an afterlife, but what’s not hell?

Of course, my current situation is not very desirable.

If Adrian really was murdered, it would be extremely dangerous to drag this body around.

‘You don’t even know the culprit, and on top of that, this is the royal palace?’

What kind of bold man would commit murder in the palace?

That too against the teachers who teach princes and princesses.

In an already confusing situation, I suddenly became scared.

I never wanted to die again.

I never wanted to experience that horrible feeling again, of my life ending against my will.

Unable to move rashly, I locked the door and thought a lot.

Without wiping or covering up the blood on the floor that was slowly hardening.

It was only now, after a full day had passed, that I heard the first knock on the door.

* * *

“Are you here?”

“Yes. It’s only been two days. Princess.”

“…?”

“Ah, huh, has it only been three days?”

“Yes? You saw it yesterday too, right?”

“Oh… was that so?”

Purua, 18th in line to the throne.

He is the only disciple I am currently teaching directly.

The first one to knock on the door of the room I was in was this princess’s maid, who was always scheduled to have lessons at this time?

Since this part came to mind vaguely, I wasn’t too taken aback when I first heard it.

But what I was most afraid of was leaving the room.

‘But in the end, I ended up here…’

The maid seemed completely unaware of my death.

It’s not possible to just stay in the corner of the room forever.

Since it has come to this, I came here with the judgment that it might be safer to borrow the power of the princess and receive at least a minimal amount of protection.

He is my disciple, and my only disciple at that.

Originally, the bond between a teacher and a student was meant to be stronger.

Especially since it’s a one-on-one lesson, you wouldn’t just pretend not to see your teacher die.

But there was one huge problem here.

“Is today the same class as last time?”

“That’s right.”

‘Fucked…’

I don’t really know anything about this world.

Besides, I have no memory of what Adrian was teaching the princess.

I thought I would remember something just by looking at her face, but I was very wrong.

“Then, you just go out. Don’t bother me.”

“Yes, Princess.”

The maid glanced at my face and left the room.

Did you feel anything suspicious?

Or is that maid involved in Adrian’s assassination?

It’s a day when even the smallest movement brings up all sorts of thoughts.

“…!?”

Princess Purua, her cheeks slightly red, was looking at me with a long gaze.

I quickly collected my expression and opened my mouth.

“Shall we talk today?”

I forced a faint smile.

It’s not the kind of expression a kind professor would make… it’s more like a business smile.

‘She is truly a great beauty.’

Just like when I first saw the maids earlier, they were all exceptionally beautiful.

Is it because the place is the place?

This woman in particular caught my eye with her outfit.

“A story?”

“Yes. It’s a bit much to only teach every time…”

I need to postpone class as much as possible and refresh my memory a little.

Or, you could just try to get some small information out of her mouth.

“Can’t we just proceed with class as usual?”

“Ahem… Wed, class should proceed. But before that, let’s have a little chat…”

“……”

“D, I have something to tell you…”

At the very least, I should ask for at least a minimal amount of protection in case there is someone threatening Adrian in my current situation.

Because dog death is just so disgusting.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, that’s… Actually, Princess.”

“Princess?”

“Yes, princess. Aren’t you a princess?”

“No. Other than that…Can’t you just call me like you always do? Yes? Adrian.”

What kind of absurd case is this?

If not princess, what else can I call you?

Are you asking me to call you by your real name?

I look into her eyes again.

It is a truly profound and mysterious expression.

‘Could it be that Adrian had something to do with that crazy princess?’

So don’t get assassinated, you crazy bastard.

“Phu, Purua…?”

“Yes. Adrian…”

She smiled faintly, as if satisfied.

“Don’t worry so much. I told the maids to keep a close eye on you several times today.”

“Did you ask me to do that…?”

“Child, please do as you usually do. More relaxed. More serious… Or maybe, did you hear something from your mother?”

What the heck?

What are you asking of me?

“That’s not happening.”

“That’s right! I knew it.”

This time, a sharp, angry expression.

Given the circumstances, does the Queen also know something about Adrian and the princess’ relationship?

‘Surely, you didn’t assassinate Adrian…? Oh, no, no. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves without any evidence.’

More information is needed.

You can’t do anything with this much.

“Just do as you usually do, Adrian. Please. Don’t worry about your mother.”

“How could that be? No matter what…”

“Child, I said it’s okay. Just like usual. Please treat me a little more casually. Is it because I’m dressed up more like a princess than usual? Then this kind of clothes…”

“Yes?”

Huh?

Is this woman crazy!?

This crazy woman, no, this princess suddenly started taking off her clothes in front of me.

And at that moment.

I felt goosebumps all over my body, as if I had been struck by lightning.

[You could say that using the princess as a test subject is my privilege.]

“What?”

“Huh?”

“Oh, no.”

A strange yet familiar voice piercing through my brain.

It was the voice of Adrian, the original owner of this body, that had been ringing in my head several times throughout the past day.

‘The princess is a test subject?’

In my greatly surprised and dilated pupils, the image of Princess Purua with her chest exposed is reflected.

And then, overlapping with that, suddenly scenes from the past started playing in my head.

* * *

My name is Adrian Floyd.

Unfortunately, my position within the royal family is now much weaker than before.

There are several princes and princesses in this country, but only Princess Purua, who is considered the most foolish and untalented, is assigned to me.

Is this the work of those who fear our family’s prestige?

Or are you trying to look down on me?

‘Huh. How dare you judge my skills…’

But it doesn’t matter.

Because my position will soon change completely.

As for the pure bloodline theory that they claim, we can make it so that they can never bring it up again with overwhelming power.

‘If I can just finish this research I’m doing now, it’ll all be over. Everyone will run to me, kneel down, and beg me.’

“Then, now that all the maids are out, shall we take them off?”

“You’re short-tempered again today. Purua.”

“Hehe… Or would you like Adrian to take it off for you?”

“That’s difficult. Who is asking for a favor now?”

The research is almost complete.

Just a little more, just a little more, and it will be perfect.

With this bitch, the subject of the test, so obsessed with me, it’s just a matter of time.

* * *

“Adrian?”

“Ah, sir, excuse me, princess.”

After the scene where Princess Purua lifts her skirt and exposes her butt, I returned to the real world.

But the reality wasn’t much different.

Because the princess with her breasts still exposed was staring at me before my eyes.

“Adrian… Please forgive me now. Please do it like usual… More powerfully.”
