Francia asked, seeing John’s face hardened and darkened.

“Uh, is there a problem…?”

Even the voice was slightly rolling, full of worry.

“No, no. I have something to think about.”

John smiled awkwardly and patted the back of Francia’s hand.

“I’m glad it’s not a big deal.”

Francia smiled brightly while holding Johan’s hand. Her smile was shining, and she wasn’t the heroine for nothing.

‘If this continues, I’ll be possessed.’

John slowly let go of Francia’s hand and got up from the bed.

Maybe it was because I drank a lot the day before, but my body was out of balance.

As he staggered and started to fall, Francia hurriedly supported Johan’s body.

“Are you okay?”

“… … .”

John felt the soft texture against his back, causing the hairs all over his body to stand on end.

“… It’s okay. Can I go wash up for a bit?”

“Yes. I’ll be waiting.”

Now I can concentrate. Yohan gave her another awkward smile and went into the bathroom.

I used my magic tool to fill the bathtub with hot water, then quietly went inside and laid down on my back.

There was a bitter feeling because Francia had been scratching so much, but I quickly got used to it.

“Hoo… … .”

A sigh that came out with hot steam. That breath was full of worry.

‘Let’s start by making a plan.’

It’s certain that I’ll spend the rest of my life with Francia. I can’t just run away now like trash and say, “I’ll eat well and go.”

‘First of all, gaining Duke Pervace’s approval is the top priority.’

He had to prove his abilities to him, otherwise he would surely get his head cut off by the Duke.

Even without that, I was in a very weak position compared to the Duke. I had to somehow prove my abilities and gain the Duke’s recognition.

‘To do that… … .’

You have to enter the ‘Imperial Office of St. Rosino’ where Francia is. And you have to achieve overwhelming results to at least get a passing grade.

The Imperial Staff of Saint Rosino is an armed group comprised of special knights and magicians, the asymmetrical force of the Empire.

John stroked his chin.

‘Even if I don’t want to, it’s certain that I’ll naturally get involved with those crazy guys.’

In this work – there are many people to watch out for in the world where John is reincarnated, but among them, there are three people who require the highest level of alertness.

‘Crown Prince Fedelian Rosino.’

The guy with the blond hair that flowed like ramen noodles had a stiff head, perhaps because he had been appointed crown prince soon after he came of age.

He is a character who was raised by those around him who coaxed him, so he is arrogant and has sky-high self-esteem because he can get whatever he wants just by asking.

‘That’s why I showed a strong obsession with Francia.’

In short, he’s the most like a traitor. But he’s also capable, so he’s the number one priority to watch out for.

Next is… … .

‘Cassis Lenokhonen.’

As you can tell from the difficult name, this is a difficult guy to deal with.

This person is quite twisted because he received thorough education as a successor from a young age and was forced to be self-restrained. However, he also has a dirty personality, so he is quite difficult to get involved with.

‘As proof, it is because of him that Francia later fell into the biggest crisis.’

He is a man who dabbled in black magic, which is banned in the country and the world, in order to have Francia. He is dark and crazy.

‘The third is Rudella Bismark.’

A person who is engaged to Crown Prince Sari and is destined to become the future empress.

This is the position where he plots all sorts of schemes after finding out that Crown Prince Fedelian loves Francia.

‘Is this side any better?’

Unlike Crown Prince Fedelian or Grand Duke Cassis, she had no direct power to wield. Although her future as empress was guaranteed, it was largely due to the influence of the Marquis.

Saaaa-

The hot water from the magic tool that had been left on the table soon filled the bathtub.

John deactivated his water attribute magic tool and tilted his head back.

‘There’s a lot to do.’

The only fortunate thing is that this reincarnated body has outstanding magical talent.

And since I have been consistently doing strength training and physical exercise, my physical abilities are not bad.

‘Whether you’re a knight or a wizard, it won’t be strange no matter where you go.’

There was one reason why John did not enter the civil service.

Because I just want to live comfortably.

What kind of riches and honor would you want to enjoy by risking your life to fight against the devil and become a knight or magician on the front lines? You should have been born a noble, and you should have lived a comfortable life by eating moderately.

But now, if you set such a goal, you will get your throat cut by the Duke of Pervace.

“Tsk.”

John clicked his tongue. He wanted to blame others, but it was clearly his fault, so there was nowhere to vent his anger.

‘Should I get up soon?’

Choaaaak-

As John got up from the bathtub, water flowed out of the bathtub.

After drying my body with the towel hanging on the wall, I changed into a robe and left the bathroom.

Francia was still lying there, her eyes closed, seemingly tired.

“Youngae?”

“Yes, yes?”

“I’ve washed everything, but is it okay if Young-ae doesn’t wash?”

“Aha. I need to wash too. Haha.”

Francia laughed awkwardly and got up from the bed, revealing her naked body without a single thread on.

“… … .”

Smooth skin. A soft body that flows along sensuous curves. Large but not burdensome breasts.

For a moment, John’s pupils shook as if there was an earthquake, as he lost sight of where to look.

“Aha?”

Francia looked at John’s gaze and smiled mischievously.

“You saw it so much yesterday, why are you so embarrassed?”

“Ahem… … .”

“You’re much cuter than I thought. You have a different charm than last night.”

She giggled and put on her gown.

“Please speak comfortably from now on. We are lovers from now on, right?”

“… Yes.”

“Call me Francia.”

“Francia.”

“Like.”

She seemed quite satisfied with the titles being sorted out, smiled and went into the bathroom.

Only when her figure completely disappeared was John able to catch his breath.

He sat down on the bed and bowed his head.

“What is it?”

I was strangely drawn to Francia. And it wasn’t just because she was pretty.

‘It’s like I’m possessed.’

Is this love at first sight?

‘That’s awkward.’

In fact, John has never been in love since his previous life. This is because he has always lived in pursuit of efficiency.

He has never been in a relationship because he feels lonely and calculates that the inconvenience he will receive from it will be greater.

but.

‘That value system is being shaken violently.’

When I see Francia, my face gets hot.

‘So I must have seduced Francia while I was drunk.’

John shook his head, hiding his emotions.

‘Let’s just calm down for now.’

You need to regain your composure. This is a transitional period in your life. If you don’t prepare well, you could lose your life.

No, it would be fortunate if he only lost his life. He might be castrated or thrown into an alley in a miserable state.

Slack. Yohan leaned back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

‘It’s time to take out the magical abilities I’ve been teaching myself for convenience.’

John knew how to use magic. Not only did he know how to use it, he also showed extraordinary talent.

That’s because you don’t use it much except for your own convenience.

‘But I haven’t learned any combat magic, so I guess I should learn magic properly first.’

Normally, it would be difficult to learn magic at such a late age, but Johan was able to do it. Perhaps it was because of his talent as a reincarnator, or because he had an overwhelming affinity for magical powers.

“Okay. Calm down. You can do it.”

John took deep breaths and began to make a plan.

‘Let’s take the civil service exam first. If I pass with an overwhelming score, even the crown prince won’t be able to ignore me.’

The Order of Saint Rosino is the most elite order of knights in the Empire.

No matter how much of a wayward and rascally personality he has,

It would not be easy for even the crown prince to ignore the special magician of such an order.

‘Okay, the direction is set.’

John, who had made a plan, looked out the window. It was morning. The sunlight was warm.

Now that things have been decided and the sun has come out, my mind has become a little more at ease.

Click.

As I was closing my eyes, basking in the sunlight, the bathroom door opened and Francia came out.

“… … .”

John looked at her in silence. Her wet hair clung to her body and fell along her lines. Her flushed skin was smooth.

It was fascinating.

“John?”

“Yes, yes?”

“If you look at it that way, I feel burdened too.”

“Ah. Sorry.”

John hurriedly turned his gaze away. Still, Francia’s body was still lingering before his eyes.

‘Fuck.’

How did he end up like this? Was it really the bursting of his abstinence? Or was it Francia who really seduced him in order to use him?

‘… … Usually, it wouldn’t be the latter.’

I guess it would be right to say that it was love at first sight. I had only seen the female protagonist in descriptions, but this was my first time seeing her in person.

In fact, Francia was a beautiful woman. She had jaw-dropping beauty and a perfect body.

What about the voice? It’s like a charm that sticks to the eardrums.

There’s no need to even mention the personality.

John took another deep breath and controlled his pounding heart.

“But you know, aren’t we lovers now?”

I asked Francia, who was washing her hair.

“Right? Because we’re going to get married.”

She nodded as if it was a given and even brought up the topic of marriage.

“Is the family’s permission okay?”

“Ah.”

When the topic of family came up, her mouth fell open.

‘You didn’t think about it, did you?’

I know you’re not the thoughtless type.

“… Sorry. I forgot about that. I’m having so much fun with Yohan… … .”

Judging from the fact that she doesn’t even miss lip service, she is quite the dating expert, to the point where a single mother like Yohan wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“How, is there no way?”

Francia looked at John with trembling eyes and asked.

“… There is a way.”

“What is it?”

“Somehow I’m going to increase my value.”

John slowly closed and opened his eyes and continued speaking.

“Fortunately, I have a talent for magic. I will use this to convince the Duke.”

“Ah.”

“And then we will enter the San Rosino public office that Francia entered.”

“Is the passing question okay? As John knows, the Saint Rosino civil servant is… … .”

Before she could finish speaking, John snickered and said.

“There’s no problem at all, so don’t worry.”

It’s true that the test is difficult. But it didn’t seem that difficult to John.

Even the runes used in magic weren’t that difficult for him to interpret on his own.

“First, let me meet the Duke.”

John got up from his seat and gathered up the clothes that were strewn about in a corner.

“I’ll take care of getting permission from the master, so Francia, don’t worry too much.”

The incident was committed anyway. I decided to take responsibility for it.

‘Why don’t you give it a try?’

Make a deal with the duke and become the official’s special magician to gain recognition for her association.

And protecting her from the crazy bastards who threaten Francia.

You can do both.

John had the ability to do that.
