“Ugh.”

A girl was walking around, biting her nails with an urgent expression.

Mai has a warm office lady feel in a fairly neat women’s blouse. Ebony-colored hair flowing behind him like a waterfall.

She was already a woman with an innocent style that would stimulate the hearts of most men and make them take a look at her at least once, but what stood out the most were the two red horns rising above her.

Although she was a woman who seemed foreign to a human, people were already familiar with her. No, it is probably safe to say that there is no one on this earth who does not know her.

For some reason, the Dragon Lady, Yoon Shia, was wandering around the Taeseong Mansion with a nervous expression on her face.

“The professor is not there.”

Her heart was burning black.

Why is she reacting like this?

Of course, her beloved professor is not a subordinate person somewhere, and is of course a living being with free will, so it is not unusual for him to wander around on his own without telling anyone.’

But to her, it was no longer a matter of much concern.

‘I saw that woman plotting with her grandfather. They must have taken the professor somewhere.’

With that in mind, he walked around here and there with a nervous face, and whenever he saw the occupants of the mansion or other people, he asked about Northmund’s whereabouts.

But there was no significant income. Didn’t most people say they don’t know their whereabouts?

‘It is a lie. Clearly someone silenced him.’

This was especially true for the residents of the mansion. Although she very politely said she didn’t know anything about it, she was so sensitive that she was able to detect the awkwardness in their facial expressions.

I wanted to beat him up and make him reveal everything he knew, but this was a remote place because I wanted to see the black lies hidden behind that politeness.

If you cause trouble in a place like this, not only you but the professor could be harmed.

If a person invited as a guest causes an uproar, Northmund, who brought the guest, will be in a very difficult position. Because she didn’t want that either.

Thinking like that, Yun Shia gave a fake smile to the 15th person and walked away.

My mouth was almost frozen as I had to force a smile and take a photo with someone who appeared to be from a Taesung affiliate who had been asking me to take a commemorative photo with them.

As time passed by without any results, she let out a small sigh of mental exhaustion.

‘It will be fine. I spoke to the professor less than an hour ago. Also, the professor said he would solve it himself.’

okay. It’s not even that long ago, we only talked about 40 or 50 minutes ago. No matter how kind and good-hearted the professor is, he probably won’t be able to overcome that much.

It was obvious that the professor would be very disappointed if he continued to show himself like this.

If I were to objectify myself, wouldn’t it seem like I’m obsessed with something a bit harsh?

She bit her lip slightly, promising herself that it would be so.

What she said to herself was a small bite, but a trickle of blood was leaking from her lip.

Feeling the faint taste of iron in her mouth, she shook her head slightly.

“What on earth am I doing? That’s not how I look.”

“No, this. Aren’t you a Dragon Lady?”

Suddenly, an old man’s voice was heard.

“… President.”

“Oh my gosh, you don’t have to be so polite in such a private situation.”

When I reflexively say that, the old man’s formal answer comes back.

The voice was clearly coming from behind him.

Meeting him in such an empty corner, it was obvious that he had seen his actions and been following him from the beginning.

Feeling quite complex and uncomfortable, Yoon Sia slowly turned her head to face the person who had called her.

“I guess you are looking for someone. Is it okay if I ask that? It might be helpful.”

“Help.”

“Hehe, this is my house. I’m used to looking for people.”

You speak well.

Thinking like that, Yun Si-ah smiled and turned her gaze to Jang Tae-san and bowed her head slightly, saying, “Thank you.”

“It looks like you’re looking for Mr. Northmund. If he is, he took my granddaughter somewhere to talk to her. He’ll probably be back soon.”

“… They took me away.”

“Hehe. That’s right, I think my granddaughter has a world hero in mind. After all, girls of that age fall in love with the existence of heroes.”

For some reason, Yoon Si-ah frowned when she saw Jang Tae-san starting to chuckle and open his mouth.

It was rude to put someone in front of him, but now there was nothing to hesitate about.

Because I felt like this old man had planned everything.

“Hoo. As expected, what happened back then wasn’t my mistake. You have great insight. Is that a natural trait of Yoon Si-ah? If not, is it due to the ability called Yonghwa?”

Jang Tae-san, who glanced at Yoon Si-ah’s expression, seemed to have realized something and began to speak softly as if he had nothing to worry about anymore.

Seeing the old man like that, the girl with black hair down to her waist looked at his disgusting face and asked with narrowed eyes.

“… Where is the professor?”

“Oh my gosh, this old man is going to suffocate to death if he continues like this. I will take you to where the two of you are, so please stop living. Ms. Yoon Shia.”

“Dae, Mr. President?”

For some reason, Jang Tae-san’s bodyguard, seeing the two people exchanging strange stories from each other’s mouths, urgently runs towards them with his eyes wide.

Although invisible to the eye, the bodyguard instinctively recognized that this dragon-horned woman had harmed the object of his protection, and tried to pull out a pistol from his waist, but Jang Tae-san hurriedly stopped him.

Of course, despite this, the bodyguard remains alert and is glaring at Yoon Si-ah, a dangerous person.

“Hehe, dragon bloom. As expected, Miss Yuncia also has similar abilities to Northmund.”

“… say. Where are the professor and that woman?”

“Hey, be polite. No matter how famous you are, this person is the President of the Republic of Korea… ah. Sorry, sorry. President.”

The bodyguard once again tried to stop Yoon Shi-ah, who had stopped using honorifics, but this time too, he was put off by a gesture from Jang Tae-san.

The bodyguard said he did it for Jang Tae-san, but he himself was looking at him with a cold face, as if he was being too foolish.

This time too, the security guard had no choice but to sigh and step away.

“Please follow me. We will serve you.”

Yun Si-ah twisted her lips as she watched Jang Tae-san smile and tap the ground with his staff.

*

─Don’t worry, Professor. I will do whatever it takes to help the professor.

─Okay, thank you. Not only you, but everyone at the academy will have to work together.

─Hehe, do you think I can be of greater help to the professor?

There was a clattering sound of teeth rubbing against each other.

The person who made that sound was, of course, Yoon Sia, and the source of the sound that made the Dragon Lady grind her teeth was the room right next to where they were now.

“Ugh.”

Jang Tae-san looked somewhat amused as he watched her angry voice flow from her mouth.

Jang Taesan was somewhat talkative, which did not befit the appearance of a dignified old gentleman, but he had not said anything since entering this room.

He was just staring at her, looking red-hot as if she was trying to heat up the whole room with an expression of fun.

─Thank you. It would be really helpful if you could help. Thank you so much. I can’t thank you enough.

In the room across from us, Ahyeon Jang was handing her proposal to Northmund.

Jang Tae-san looked like he was about to burst into laughter, but he was hiding his laughter as if he was not there.

It may be rude to smile like that at the other person, but how can you not smile?

This is a scene where a woman with a fairly tall height and a voluptuous and solid body is having fun with the work in the gunnut room as if she were a child.

No, that’s not a metaphor; it really looked like a child.

He looked like he had been robbed of all his precious treasures by an adult and his face was full of tears.

Of course, she would already know that the treasure is not something she can hide even if she hides it herself.

But it’s really precious. It was so precious that I didn’t want to let go of it.

I would say it looked somewhat like a typical cartoon character.

─Just, please let me stand next to you forever.

“Heh.”

When she heard that voice, she took a deep breath. Finally, the sinister woman across the room began to get to the point.

also. It was to bring out that story.

Now it’s all up to Northmund. The professor made a promise to himself.

Decided to reject her. He told me that the only woman he had was me.

Her heart must be really burning.

The professor must have made a promise. It’s not that I don’t trust the professor, but I feel very anxious.

─Currently, we are in a teacher-student relationship, but I don’t think such things are any obstacles to our becoming a sincere relationship.

─And that for life?

─Yes, Professor. I want to be by the professor’s side forever and become partners who trust each other.

Her sharp fangs dig into the lip that was once bitten once again, and a thick liquid with a dark metallic taste spreads into her mouth.

I never thought I would say this so openly.

But it’s too blatant. There is no way the professor would accept this proposal.

Although Yun Shia was trying to control her nervousness like that.

Her hopes were shattered.

─That is correct. Thank you for making that suggestion.

─Ah, is that so? I’m sorry. I didn’t know how you felt until now.

“Ah.”

A sigh flowed from her mouth.

why?

No matter who heard it, this was no different from a clear confession.

Why, Professor?

Was he breaking the promise he made to himself?

“It’s obvious.”

A voice came from behind.

Jang Taesan spoke for the first time since entering this room.

With blank, open eyes, Yun Shia slowly looked back.

There, somewhere, there was an old man standing under the red glow of the sunset.

No, to be exact, it is not a sunset. Just standing near a fireplace that has just been lit.

But the red flames coming out of the fireplace are like the color of a sunset.

The brown coat he wore shined, his light yellow jersey and his pure white hair were dyed red, and he looked solemn as if he were radiating the halo of an angel.

“Aren’t you a man who fights for a grand cause, Northmund?”

“… .”

“And for that cause, it would not have been a situation where I could refuse the conditions proposed by my granddaughter. haha. I heard you seem to be playing around with money by yourself these days, but I never would have guessed that you were planning such a cheeky thing.”

Then, Jang Tae-san lifted his head slightly, holding on to his snake wood cane.

It was only raised slightly, but it was an angle that gave off the feeling of being arrogant and somewhat arrogant.

But the current atmosphere was not one to point out such things.

Jang Tae-san’s voice, combined with the voices of the two people coming from the next room, had an irresistible power.

“If anyone is faced with an unreasonable situation, he or she will take the hand of the person who extends that hand.”

“That… Well, whatever.”

“Huh. You already know this, right? If you’re a smart person, you already know what I mean.

Taesan Jang strikes the floor with his cane.

Even in the face of Yoon Si-ah’s murderous gaze, Jang Tae-san just stared at her with a kind smile.

Seeing the old man’s smile, Yun Shia just narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth.

“You know everything, right? Northmund’s current situation is very difficult. He needs help. is it so… Not just comfort, but actual great help.”

“I can help too… .”

“Huh. Have you turned our previous conversation into a child? I’m a little disappointed.”

She had a disgusted face. But she too must have realized the whole situation.

Yoon Sia herself knew that Jang A-hyeon was just a dark-hearted girl who was trying to steal the professor, but

It was only now that I was able to see the grand roadmap laid out by a person named Jang A-hyeon.

Even now, I’m still hearing it from the next room.

‘I lost completely… .’

After all, human nature cannot be viewed only cross-sectionally.

The whole situation was being created thoroughly and planned within that pitch-black mind.

Before, I thought he was simply an ordinary fox trying to charm the professor using his status and wealth.

So, although it was annoying, I was able to find some comfort in it.

Professor, you are not a person who is easily swayed by wealth and power. Because he is not a corrupt person at all, but a person who fights for a noble purpose.

But that wasn’t the case.

From the very beginning.

From the root of everything.

The person named Jang A-hyeon had planned all of this.

The professor risked everything and made preparations in case one day he was faced with such a difficult situation.

Yoon Sia felt greatly defeated by that fact.

“It may be a pity for Ms. Yoon Sia. Don’t you already accept the truth?”

“… .”

“You can’t be of any help to Northmund now. What Northmund needs right now is not just physical comfort, but practical help.”

“That… I guess.”

“Yes. I can assure you of that. Ms. Yoon Shia, this is something you cannot do.”

At those words, her spirit suddenly calms down. With that, the sense of imminent urgency that had surrounded the room disappeared in an instant.

that.

It was a clear declaration of her defeat.
