    Episode 28 – Princess, Alice Tantalota –

    “So this cadet ranked first in this performance evaluation?”

    A second-year dormitory, especially a place where only those who are very wealthy or have high grades can stay, Tantalota Hall.

    Inside, the second princess of the Helium Empire, Lys Tantalotta, was receiving a report written by her servant.

    “Yes. That’s right. During the current performance evaluation, the last 10 cadets were simultaneously eliminated and tied for second place. For some reason, that cadet came in first place.”

    “What did you say was the reason why the performance evaluation was canceled this time?”

    “The space transfer magic circle misfired. In a normal case, since it was canceled during the move, I would activate the magic circle again and have the performance evaluated.

    The Academy concluded the performance evaluation by raising Abraxas Youngsik to first place. Although the details of the situation were not disclosed, there are a few opinions. From now on, this is my personal opinion. Would you like to listen?”

    You should never include your personal opinion when conveying it to someone higher than you. You must tell the complete truth.

    If you want to include your personal opinion, you must include a sentence saying that such and such ‘opinions’ are being circulated.

    Or, like she did this time, ask if you can express your opinion.

    “Ho? That’s interesting. Tell me about that cadet.”

    Fortunately, the princess, Alice Tantalota, allowed me to listen to her opinion.

    The princess’ servant spoke to him.

    “Based on the circumstances, it is presumed that the Abraxas cadet was the one who nullified the magic circle. There are two common sense responses that the Academy can take in a situation like the one just above.

    The first is to take another performance evaluation, and the second is to tie for first place. But the Academy made Abraxas Youngsik first place… ”

    “He must have done something.”

    The princess decided her opinion clearly.

    “I also agree with your opinion. No matter how you think about it, the fact that the Academy gave him first place probably means that he acted as he intended.”

    “What would you like to do?”

    “I have to meet him. Other prospects are going to my brothers who graduated before me, who are their seniors, right? However, his grades are average. There will be no access yet.”

    “He is a marquis.”

    “Looking at your performance, it would be better to recruit Prince Winterfield. Also, it seems like you are close to him.”

    “Then we will prepare a table for you soon.”

    “I understand. That’s how I know it.”

    After all the words were said, the princess’s attendant became dark and translucent.

    And it didn’t take long for a letter, accompanied by black smoke, to be left in the mailbox of the dormitory where Abraxas was staying.

    =========

    “So the princess called you?”

    “uh.”

    “Why?”

    “What can I say.”

    “Puupㅡ”

    How did Theseus figure out so quickly that I was in such a shitty mood?

    He was teasing me by running towards my dormitory at a speed slower than light.

    ‘I planned a plan to eliminate everyone at the same time in order to get to the top of the rankings… ‘

    It’s as if the Academy will try to catch me no matter what I do if I reveal that I am an Auror Master.

    It would be the same even if I were first in my grade.

    Because the president’s influence can withstand pressure if he or she has supporters.

    So I tried to make it so that there would be no supporters at all…

    ruined.

    “So what are you going to do? Do you understand why I called you?”

    “If you can’t sense anything, can you be human? Does it seem far?”

    “You came in first place this time?”

    “Yes.”

    Currently, the royal family is engaged in a power struggle in various ways. All members of the current royal family are adults. Therefore, it is time to recruit talented people to become the next emperor.

    The best thing would be to improve your own skills. There is not enough time to improve your skills.

    This is because it is easier to have two Auror Masters under your command than to develop the skills to deal with two Auror Masters.

    ‘The current faction is the same faction as the 1st prince and the 2nd princess. A situation where the 1st princess, the 2nd prince, and the 3rd princess are of the same faction.’

    And those two forces are currently in sharp conflict. The forces are said to be similar.

    In the end, it’s a situation where victory or defeat can be reversed because of me, the Auror Master.

    but… I can’t get involved in the political fight yet.

    ‘If you enter politics, you will have no time to build up your strength. In fact, it is tied to the same level as the academy. So, meeting the princess should be avoided as much as possible… ‘

    This is all because of the damn president.

    If you succeed in this performance evaluation as much as possible, you can easily enter the top ranks.

    Even if I got a high score, it was difficult to see it as pure skill.

    So, even if you take the ranking and your awareness increases.

    I was able to write off my pure skills as not being good.

    So, when everyone was eliminated or when the performance was evaluated again, I tried to surrender right away and come out.

    The president made me the sole runner-up, attracting the princess’s attention.

    ‘Is there no way to stop it… ?’

    The princess will try to drag me into her faction.

    If I join a faction, they won’t do anything to put me on a limb, so I can’t gain any advantage.

    However, if you don’t join a faction, there is even no answer.

    The 3rd princess will use political maneuvers against me to keep me in check from joining other factions.

    The political maneuvering will not end unless I die or end up in prison.

    To avoid that, you have to join the first princess faction, but then you end up being doggin.

    “Legal… It becomes a solid reason… A reason why the princess would not particularly be bothered… ”

    “What nonsense? Is there such a thing?”

    “No. It’s clear. There is nothing impossible in this world. Obviously we just didn’t think about it because of our prejudices. There is definitely a way.”

    In times like these, the good thing is to look at things from a different perspective.

    ruler. I did not attend when the princess called me. The princess didn’t look at me negatively.

    Why did you do that?

    ‘At least it’s a reason to skip out on a meeting with the royal family.’

    Then, I had a reason to miss out on a meeting with the royal family. What is the reason for that?

    ‘Ill, missing, or a relative. The work must be serious or you must not be in a state to participate in the appointment at all.’

    Then I am not in a state to participate in the appointment. Why?

    ‘The simplest thing is… It would be most appropriate to be hospitalized after being beaten. Even with his divine power, he would have to suffer serious injuries that would require him to be hospitalized for a long time.’

    Then it’s the last time. I suffered a serious injury. Why did you wear it?

    “Hey. If I were to be beaten by someone, who would it be?”

    In this case, another solution is to borrow a different head.

    This is because, just as having a different perspective is effective, using a different head is also effective.

    “Uh… It’s as if he just slapped the president. Wouldn’t it be okay to be mean to other people?”

    And the idea certainly worked.

    Because a very great strategy came to mind.

    He expressed his gratitude to Theseus.

    “Hey. I found a way.”

    Naturally, Theseus stopped his friend.

    “You are a member of the royal family. Don’t be a bit of a bitch and just meet in moderation. Maybe we can put it off until later.”

    “I’m in the power game right now, where is the later? You’d think I was just boarding a line.

    If you reveal that you’re an Auror Master, you can attack first, but if you don’t, you’ll just be kicked out, right? So just follow me. There is something very good.”

    A very good idea occurred to me, so I took the messenger with me and set off to take action.

    This is the truth said by the duke’s eldest son, so it will spread quickly.

    ========

    Knock knock

    Tantalota coffin again. One of the princess’s subordinates hurriedly knocked on the door of the princess’s office.

    The Tantalota Pavilion was possible because the entire building was rented out to one cadet.

    “Come in.”

    Permission is given and the door opens.

    Thanks to the good wood used, the sound of the door opening was barely audible.

    The door opened and the princess’s subordinate came into the room.

    Alice Tantalotta guessed the reason for her arrival and opened her mouth.

    “Yes. Have you arrived? There’s a lot to talk about, so let them in quickly.”

    “Well, that’s… ”

    “What’s the problem? What is the problem that you are hesitating to tell me?”

    The subordinate closed his eyes tightly and told about Abraxas.

    “ Cadet Abraxas is said to be unable to attend today due to his serious injury.”

    The attendant said that out of fear that the princess would be angry.

    The princess had no intention of blaming her servant for something that was not his fault.

    Rather, how serious was the injury that prevented him from coming to the meeting with the royal family?

    The princess, curious, asked the servant for more details.

    “Injury? That’s all you need to get treatment from a priest, so what’s the problem? Is the injury that serious?”

    “The extent of the injury was also notified.”

    “Really? Wasn’t the injury such that you couldn’t attend?”

    “No. The injuries reported were injuries that prevented participation.”

    “Then there is no particular problem. Say it quickly.”

    The servant closed his eyes tightly and spoke tremblingly.

    “Abraxas Mentutihotep… Sergei Darmore provoked the current president of Jerip Academy, calling him a “ dickhead who can’t fight… As a result… It is said that the limb was amputated.”

    When the princess heard that story, her amazement disappeared from this world.

    “What… ?”

    The princess couldn’t help but feel embarrassed at those words.

    Sergei Darmore, Chancellor of the Imperial Academy and the most powerful wizard in the Empire along with the Emperor.

    I can’t believe you provoked him by telling him he couldn’t fight and he got seriously injured.

    It didn’t make sense.

    ‘Something is clear.’

    The princess also knew that his actions were a bit strange.

    The princess became suspicious after seeing that it had started again after no problem for the past week.

    ‘There’s something. Even if it happened by chance, well. It probably isn’t that bad.’

    Alice Tantalotta stood up and prepared to leave.

    “I will go and see for myself.”

    The princess headed to the academy health room where Abraxas was.

    Of course, this fact was not known to Abraxas.

    ========

    Inside the academy health room.

    A time when you don’t have to lie there and do nothing.

    It was the first break I had in a long time.

    Oh, how good this is. Although it has no limbs.

    ‘It’s definitely worth getting hit on purpose.’

    The principle of divine power is restored. Therefore, if you have a lot of divine power, you can theoretically cure disabilities.

    However, as you can see from the point of restoration, the older the wound, the more difficult it is to restore it with divine power.

    The more serious the injury, the more difficult it is to recover.

    It is easy to join a severed arm,

    To regrow a severed arm, you must pour in divine power or heal it with divine power for a long period of time.

    ‘It’s not like sprouting, but it’s more like restoring time and putting it back together again.’

    So, he deliberately met with the president and made Saji disappear.

    What if the limbs are not just amputated, but turned into mushy porridge and unable to function properly?

    Even with divine power, it is bound to take a long time to recover.

    You can postpone your meeting with the princess or hold out until the next schedule.

    ‘Well, all I can do is postpone it for a while… ‘I’ll have to find a way to get expelled from there.’

    It’s closer to extending the period by going back and forth.

    Still, it’s better than getting hurt.

    The strategy went a bit wrong, so I learned some techniques from the swordsman.

    If I just lose all my overseas connections, this difficult life will end.

    I was thinking of ways to get expelled from school or to postpone my appointment.

    Clap~

    Someone opened the door and came in.

    “Seeing you smile, your condition doesn’t look that bad. There is a possibility that it was intentional.”

    The person who opened the door and came in… He was a beautiful person.

    Blonde hair like the sun in the sky.

    And his golden eyes are even more golden than the color of his hair.

    Her appearance was as beautiful as if she had drawn a picture.

    The body was accurately imprinting the subject’s gender.

    Of course, this is a person who does not know.

    Who is that person?

    However, the woman standing in front of me smiled as I just blinked and said, “Huh,” and smiled.

    “You don’t seem to know who I am. Then, let me introduce you. I am a relative of the current emperor, Juveho Tantalota, the sun of this Helium Empire, and I will be the prime minister of this country in the future.”

    The arrogant tone he spoke even though he knew I was a marquis.

    And he had the guts to call the emperor of the empire simply “emperor” rather than “Your Majesty the Emperor.”

    no way…

    “My name is Alice Tantalotta. She is the third princess of the Helium Empire.”

    Oh, seriously, please.

    If you are a high-ranking person, you are keeping your precious body in your room. Why are you coming here?

    It’s like the division commander suddenly storms into the unit.

    “So Abraxas English. Why don’t we have a conversation?”

    I asked to have a conversation.

    In fact, it’s about having a conversation about factions.

    I quickly roll my head.

    ‘Is there a way to get out of here? Considering that you came directly rather than sending this nobleman’s subordinate, I guess you’re planning on ending things here?’

    I haven’t heard anything about Alice Tantalotta on WFS.

    I simply mentioned that the First Prince who became Emperor had a younger sister who was on my side.

    It is said that he died before the main story for some reason.

    There was no reason given and this was the first time I saw his face.

    ‘Let’s think about it. How to refuse a meeting with the royal family… An injury of that level. It’s strange to suddenly pass out here… There is another way… ah!’

    Fortunately, God gave me grace while going through numerous accidents.

    Before the princess could reply again, she quickly took action.

    Gulp~

    Swallow once and clear your throat.

    On the outside, it may seem like you are nervous about meeting the royal family for the first time.

    After filling the mouth, stop the liquid from leaking out with an auror support.

    I decided my opinion on the princess.

    “Ata Gajimang Mohage Gasnidang.”

    Analysis: Unfortunately. I don’t think I can.

    Special move: Tongue cutting.

    They rapidly cut off the tongue with their teeth and swallow it, rendering them unable to communicate.

    And the tongue, which is evidence of amputation, is swallowed and digested in my stomach to destroy the evidence.

    “Souderju and meat are mixed together to become like this.”

    Analysis: This happened because during a fight, an attack hit my mouth.

    The princess’s smile disappeared when she saw my current state, and embarrassment remained in its place.

    The tongue disappears from my mouth and red saliva fills its place.

    However, it is impossible to continue a conversation when the tongue is cut off.

    If you intentionally mince your words, there will be no answer.

    ruler. What are you going to do now, princess?

    Would you really be able to talk to a patient who can’t even speak properly?
