episode_0065

“The princess is very popular among students in the Faculty of Magic right now! Everyone is impressed by the formula the princess developed. Of course me too! There is also a rumor that the dean is negotiating to allow the princess’ math formula to be included as an official textbook. Is this true?”

When I came to the academy for the first time in a while, there was a female student following behind me and chattering. A cute look with eye-catching pumpkin-colored hair…

‘Did you say Anna…?’

At that time, I guess I was intimidated by whether it was a hamburger or a hamburger. It felt quite lively.

Even though I am walking without saying anything in particular, he follows me without being discouraged.

I turned and looked at her.

When I first saw her, she was wearing an old and worn-out school uniform, but now she was wearing a stiff uniform that looked new and a cape.

“Why are you following me?”

“Ah… were you uncomfortable?”

His slumped shoulders looked like a disappointed squirrel.

“No… that’s not it.”

I was just curious as to why she was following me, but I wondered if this was the difference between a normal baron’s daughter and a duke’s daughter. I was also taken aback when she approached me first and lowered her head as if she was scared.

It’s not like telling gossip about school rumors isn’t helpful.

‘No, it’s more useful than I thought… ?’

Well, at times like this.

“Good job. Are you interested in becoming my informant?”

I tapped her shoulder.

“Am I an informant?”

“Like now, I occasionally tell you about various rumors about the Academy.”

Anna looked at me with bright eyes, her cheeks turning red.

‘Why is this reaction like this?’

In response to the burdensome response, I spoke quickly and turned around.

“Then, let me know your answer until the next time we meet.”

“Ha, I’ll do it! want to do! Please make sure to do it!”

I couldn’t walk. This was because Anna grabbed my hand with both hands.

“For more information… I’ll send my aide to explain, but before that, let me put this first, right?”

“Ah… ! Sorry, sorry, sorry… .”

No, to that extent… .

When I see you with your head down and shaking, it seems like I’m a bad person… .

The hand was soft and although it was sudden, it didn’t feel bad.

“It’s okay, let’s go.”

When I gave the order to congratulate the guests in an awkward atmosphere, they looked at my face and then disappeared as if running away.

‘It really looks like a squirrel jumping into the bush…’

Somehow, at first, I felt like I could understand why Anna’s school uniform was worn out.

‘Nazar, I’m thinking of hiring a vassal from the Academy.’

When I thought of it, I sent a message.

‘hmm? Is it okay to send anyone? ‘He’s weak in magic, but he seems like a sincere and decent kid.’

* * *

“Ah… what should I do…! My heart is pounding…”

Anna stared at her hands and her face turned bright red. Then he started jumping up and down in place.

‘It’s so pretty… cute… and has a sweet scent. Plus it’s cool.’

Without thinking, I grabbed the princess’s soft hand with a happy heart.

‘I’m glad you didn’t feel bad.’

At first, I was frightened by the cold voice, but as expected, the princess was a very kind person.

Anna looked around and took out a document from her pocket.

‘That man also had a mysterious vibe…’

Immediately after parting ways with the princess, a man with gray hair tied back appeared.

‘Are you Miss Anna Amber?’

He was handsome and smiling, but for some reason I was a little scared. I felt like a herbivore facing a predator.

I have already heard the details of the contract. If you wish, you can become the princess’s vassal right now.

Anna was not stupid, and read the contract carefully once again.

In short, it guaranteed both high salary and safety.

There are some parts that are a bit ambiguous, but… thinking of the princess, I thought it would be okay.

I remember what the man said.

‘It might be early since you’re still a student, but I think you’ll need it.’

‘… what?’

‘If you become a vassal of the princess, you must be loyal to the princess. If you can do everything for him, sign it.’

Is this the price…?

‘Loyalty to the princess. The princess’s vassal.’

For some reason, the corners of my mouth rise.

“Phuh…Hehe…”

It is something that will depend on your entire career.

Even though it was something I needed to worry about, I didn’t worry about it.

“Anna Amber.”

After quickly signing, Anna looked around like a squirrel hiding an acorn.

Then he looked down again. When he saw his name written on the contract, he realized that this was not a dream and smiled brightly.

“Class is coming soon.”

The contract was shining in my arms, but I didn’t notice it.

Anna took class with excitement.

“Anna, we are going to have a pajama party today.”

During break time, Jenny spoke up. She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant and was living in an academy dormitory.

“Oh~ Is Anna coming today too?”

“I’m sorry. My father says I can’t stay out all night…”

“Unfortunate.”

All my friends were disappointed.

Anna was also disappointed, but there was nothing she could do.

Any academy student can enter the dormitory, but parental consent is required. If you can stay in a dormitory that is clean and has good facilities, it will help you study and be much more comfortable.

‘Anna. Does it make sense to stay in a dormitory with the respect of a nobleman?’

However, my father opposed moving into the academy dormitory, saying that it was only for commoners.

After finishing all afternoon classes, I left the academy.

“Anna. Goodbye.”

“Yes. See you tomorrow.”

I left the academy while being seen off by my friend.

Her name was Angelica Roses. Even though she was the daughter of a Viscount family, she moved into the dormitory.

Contrary to what his father said, except for some high-ranking nobles, he preferred dormitories.

To that extent, I felt envious when I saw my friends returning to the dormitory.

I walked for quite a long time and arrived home only after the sun had set.

A small and old mansion for a nobleman. There aren’t even any servants to help him. Although it was a time when I would normally be very gloomy, I was far from depressed.

“Hehe.”

Even when I think about it, I find myself laughing like a fool.

“I went there.”

That’s how I arrive home. It was the moment when I was about to head to my room with my tired body.

“Anna! Anna! You’re late! I have an important story to tell.”

Anna, who was grabbed by the shoulders and sat on the sofa, narrowed her eyes.

My father’s behavior was strange.

He wore expensive jeweled rings on all his fingers and even a gold watch.

It’s similar to the appearance of a poor man who has been struck by a sudden loss of money.

‘what…?’

I paid off all my debts with the 100 gold I received thanks to the princess, but it wouldn’t have been this extravagant.

“Listen, the Count Hamber wants you as their daughter-in-law!”

“Yes…?!”

I felt very tired. It was a long explanation, but it meant selling myself to the count family.

Alon Hamber, not the second one who is also known to be capable. To that pig.

The princess’s face naturally came to mind.

The way he confidently stood up to Alon Hamber, who was much taller and bigger than him, and stepped over it and happily slapped him on the cheek.

“I don’t like it.”

“What…?!”

My father looked dumbfounded, as if he never thought I would refuse.

“I don’t like it. With that kind of pig. I absolutely hate it. Didn’t your father even hear the rumor? Now Alon is.”

Anna let out everything she wanted to say, as if exploding all the feelings she had been building up.

My father seemed to have finally understood what I meant, his face turned red and he started pointing at me.

“You… I’ve tried raising you all this time, but it’s not working. money already. No, we even set a wedding date.”

The father seems excited and speaks gibberish. I could tell from just a few words. You have already sold yourself.

“I don’t like it. If it’s money, I’ll earn it. So.”

“What does that mean, how does a woman make money? I have to follow my father’s words. Anna.”

I don’t know how long ago, but my brother approached me.

“Oppa! But.”

“If a bad rumor spreads around for no reason, I won’t be able to get married.”

I stopped when I saw my brother. It was different from usual.

Even the pin that held the jewel-encrusted watch tie on the stiff, newly purchased suit was shiny and I had no idea what it was made of.

‘That’s definitely not a diamond…?’

Both already.

With the money you sold me…?

My vision is blurry.

A father who has no ability but is full of vanity, and an older brother who, like his father, loves to make money easily and only likes to gamble.

Even though my mother passed away and I was the only blood relative, I still thought of myself as family.

Tears poured out.

I didn’t want to be here anymore.

“Anna!”

My father quickly grabs my wrist.

“Let go…”

I tried to shake it off, but it wouldn’t go away.

“Anna, stay calm. Then I get hurt.”

My brother was no different.

I felt like I was a slave being sold to a slave dealer.

“Let go of this! I’ll come back after getting some fresh air.”

“No. Stay in your room. There is no need to go to the academy anymore.”

“Yes!? What does that mean! Graduation is just two years away!”

“That is what your family requested. Just stay at home… .”

I didn’t want to hear any more.

At that moment, the words spoken by the man who was said to be the princess’s vassal passed by.

‘Tear this off if you need help.’

A gray bookmark suddenly appeared. I received it without thinking.

Did he say this knowing everything?

It was only when I stopped resisting that my wrists were released.

I grabbed it so hard that my white wrist was red and swollen.

There will definitely be bruises.

Should I at least run away? I laughed out loud when I saw my father blocking the door.

I took out a bookmark from my pocket.

Although I was disappointed with the luxurious pattern.

I held it with both hands and gave it strength.

Squeaky.

The paper was torn.

A grayish wind blew and a man appeared.

“Hmm. This trash… What do you want your family to do?”

“You, you…what!”

My father and brother shouted at the man who suddenly appeared, but the man only focused on me as if he couldn’t see me.

The man’s aura was beautiful and scary, but somehow reassuring.

It was as if they were willing to clean it up if they wanted.

“I don’t know.”

Yeah, I don’t know. It’s hateful and I don’t want to see it, but it’s still family. Those were my honest feelings.

“Hmm. Well, I understand. It looks like you’ve already signed, so shall we go to the Duke’s residence? Or shall we get rid of them?”

“Keuok.”

I thought I heard a sound like something was breathing.

The man blocked my view with a long cloak.

*

It’s late.

“Lady. The Lady of Baron Ember has come to visit. I’m in the same grade as you.”

I raised my head when I heard the maid’s voice.

“Send in.”

I’ve already heard the whole story.

“Hmm.”

I put down the quill and stretched.

“Sorry for being late.”

The last time I saw Anna, she looked like an excited squirrel.

On the other hand, now he looks very intimidated, as if he has committed a crime.

Not all families in this world were good either.

‘What should I do?’

Her arms were shining.

I snapped my fingers. A contract was sent to me.

“Uh…?”

I looked at the contract with wide, surprised eyes.

“Huh…”

I laugh involuntarily.

Should I call this a good job? . Should I say it was too much… .

The contract Anna signed was different from other wizards.

At first glance, it was a contract that was advantageous to the employee. However, there is a very small clause written third from the bottom.

This alone can crush all the rights that came before. There isn’t even a contract period.

It’s written so cleverly that you don’t realize it, but salary and treatment are all up to you… . This is the level of a slave contract where it is possible to literally work your whole life for almost nothing.

‘As expected, I’m born with the ability to control people.’

I sigh involuntarily when I see Anna fidgeting with her hands clasped together as if praying.

What did you think of my reaction?

“Princess…?”

He looks at me like he’s worried again.

‘I guess I’ll have to take charge of this guy.’

“Anna.”

“Yes, yes!”

I sighed again as I saw his eyes light up when I called his name once.

BONUS: Bonus! Episode 60 Skipped bath scene. Added illustration of Marian in the bathhouse. (17+?)

In episode 60.

I sat down on the soft seat and closed my eyes.

‘I’ll take a bath and take a nap.’

The thought of receiving a massage from the maids already made me feel tired.

>This is the scene afterward.

When Marian returned home, she threw herself into bed.

“Emilia – I’m taking a bath.”

“Huhuhu. My girl, she’s still a baby.”

“Hehe.”

Marian’s clothes are peeled off layer by layer by Emilia’s hands.

“Lady. Are you tired?”

“Ugh. A little.”

Marian just blinked and headed to the bathroom.

“It’s my turn today!”

“Oops!”

short time. There was fierce competition among the maids to attend Marian’s bath.

“It’s okay to sleep.”

In the warm bath water, Marian relaxed at the sound of Emilia’s voice.

“Then. I’ll sleep a little.”

“Aaaah! Our girl’s skin is soft whenever you touch it!”

“Quiet.”

Emilia’s small but firm voice.

“““Yes”””

All of the maids who responded softly touched Marian’s body with care.

“Ugh. It tickles.”

Marianne is slightly complaining of sleep.

“Your breasts have grown a little, right?”

“I’m glad that the massage was rewarding.”

Time passes like that.

“ character. Rock, paper, scissors!”

Three of the four maids who attended Marian’s bath raised their fists.

“Yes! Today I am in charge of your hair!”

Elaine, wearing a wrapping cloth, smiled brightly.

“Lady. The bath is over.”

Emilia lightly hugged Marian and sat her down on a chair.

“Ugh. Thank you.”

For a while afterwards, Elaine had the right to be the winner, smoothing Marian’s hair.

The maids who were defeated like that.

“Hi! The lady just yawned.”

“The little mouth is so cute!”

Just by watching, the tension increased and the cast trembled.

After all the settings were completed and Marianne, who was even in her pajamas, opened her mouth.

“Haam. Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

“That’s right. Thanks to you, my energy was recharged!”

“Hmm? I am thankful.”

Since the maids were happy, Marianne was also happy.

Afterwards, Marian slept soundly. Yes~!

* It is a very pure bath.

Bonus ends.

Sleepy Marian.

14.8 years old!! I imaged .

Additional illustrations.

Marian 10-12 years old.

Age-appropriate designation based on size…?

Does it seem like the maids’ efforts are paying off?

Oh, the bathroom illustration is really nice too…

Should I try some more?

Today’s illustrations were retouched quite a bit.

chest valley. finger. Even the hair was cut… it was all done by hand.
