could be said to have a slightly different content from existing fairy tales.

First of all, if existing works prioritized fun over lessons for children, was a work that aimed to teach a lesson.

In some ways, the story is told using animals as narrators, which is reminiscent of Aesop’s fables, but it is also a type of educational fairy tale that mixes not only Western stories but also traditional Eastern fairy tales.

This could be said to be an educational book created based on what children found interesting and read when they were young, by inserting educational stories into simple fairy tales or comics rather than difficult books.

‘When I was young, I read the story of the frog and listened to the teacher for a while.’

At first, Ada read the newly created , complaining that there were no pretty protagonists.

But as I got more and more immersed, I got angry and started reading when I saw the part where the disobedient son, Cheonggae-ri, appeared.

‘You idiot! Your mother thought you wouldn’t listen so she asked you to build it by the stream!’

At the end, she cried and cried in Rupert’s arms, calling her son a fool.

And Rupert, who didn’t miss that moment and tried to teach a lesson.

‘If Ada doesn’t listen to her brother, she might regret it later like her son, the frog.’

‘Do you live there too, oppa?’

Rupert almost felt his life was in danger because Ada was so shocked by his words that she started to beat her chest and burst into tears again.

‘Ada, if Ada doesn’t listen and keeps causing trouble, even her mother in heaven will be sad.’

‘Sira. I will listen to Ada!’

From that day on, Ada had significantly reduced the number of times she plundered snacks or got into fights with the kids.

Instead, she learned social skills and etiquette, which are essential qualities for a noble young lady.

-So… the young lady is a wise person who has a deep curiosity about academics and knows how to ask questions about things she doesn’t know… .

Although she was taught by tutors who were said to be successful in the imperial capital, it seemed that Ada was not the type to study.

‘If you think about it, this family is far from studying.’

The first son, Richard, had a natural talent for swordsmanship that reached the level of Sword Master, although it was secretly passed down.

Rupert had a great talent for art.

Rupert was close to being convinced that Ada might be better suited to arts and physical education than studying.

“What is the great power of Ada?”

“Great responsibility comes with it!”

“Good job!”

In fact, Rupert did not raise Ada like this because he wanted her to become a well-behaved noble lady.

I just wanted Ada to have at least the bare minimum of manners so that whatever she did later wouldn’t be a problem. I just wanted her to know the basics.

Now that the family had become normalized and he had become a marquis, and all that was left to do was accumulate money, Rupert was determined to give Ada whatever she wanted.

“Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from above.”

“Thank you, Alain.”

While he was playing with Ada for a while, Alain came to find Rupert with a letter.

Originally, Esteban would come to Rupert directly to talk about everything big or small.

These days, I’ve been so busy selling merchandise that I’ve been sending important messages by letter lately.

-The date for the demonstration has been set. It will be held next Wednesday evening.

“Are you ready already?”

It was a letter telling me that something that had been forgotten due to the recent popularity of card games was nearing completion.

“Hey, shall we go see something fun next week?”

“Anything fun?”

“Yeah, let’s go see Elsa, our Ada’s favorite!”

Rupert thought that this was just the right gift for Ada, who had suffered through the dull and tedious etiquette and socializing.

That was the moment when the first animation screening was just around the corner.

“Adrian, you really don’t know anything.”

“You, Edric! Do you really think this narrative makes sense?”

The academy has opened.

Now that it is the second semester, the freshmen have somewhat adapted to academy life and are spending their time on their own.

Some studied what they were lacking, while others enjoyed their youth and dated.

But the members of the manga club were very busy in another way.

“I didn’t know when they were animals, but when it comes to people, if you make just one mistake in the drawing, the artwork is completely ruined.”

“The same goes for music. I heard the theme song that Wolfgang was making at the professor’s mansion last time, and it was really on a whole other level… .”

“If I could use the magic pen that Amelia made, the amount of work would be greatly reduced.”

As soon as school started, the club members started working on Rupert’s suggestion to prepare a piece for the second semester graduation ceremony.

It just so happened that they couldn’t stand it because their hands were itching all through the vacation.

They were the ones who couldn’t sleep at night when they recalled the cheers from people when they saw their work displayed at the end-of-semester ceremony.

So this time they were determined to make something a little longer and a little more advanced.

“Why on earth do women fall in love with men just by bumping into them!”

“Because that’s love!”

The problem was that the fights between Edric and Adrian, who were in charge of the story for this work, were happening every day.

“That’s not what a narrative is! The structure of a story is to build up step by step from the beginning and explode at the climax!”

“If you want to capture the audience in a short period of time like this, you should skip the detailed setup and get straight to the point!”

– I wonder if it’s a puppet theater that selects puppet plays as the best works.

Adrian felt the veins on his forehead rise at Edric’s last words.

“Are you done talking? You son of a bitch from the Iron Blood Alliance!”

“No need to say more. It’s a showdown!”

“If you can’t defeat someone with words, you have to fight them through a duel.”

chuck!

It seemed like it wasn’t the first or second time that they had casually taken out their cards from the pockets of their academy uniform jackets.

“Please flip a coin.”

At Edric’s words, Kyle, who had been helping the other members, frowned and shook his head.

“Edric, I can’t tell if this is a comics club or a card game club anymore.”

Kyle, who was grumbling but curious about the showdown between the two, took out a coin and flicked it with his finger.

“front.”

“Back.”

After Edric and Adrian each chose heads or tails, Kyle took out the coin he had hidden in his palm and showed it to them.

“Edric, you are the first.”

“Damn it… .”

Adrian is silent after seeing the results.

The Underworld deck he used was advantageous in that it allowed him to attack first and then lay down magic cards and trap cards, but strangely, whenever he faced Edric, he always ended up losing the first attack.

‘How did that guy get so lucky?’

Adrian’s idea of a card game was not a simple game, but rather a microcosm of war, with elaborate strategies and hand-to-hand combat.

That’s why Adrian played based on probability, considering all the numbers and making appropriate changes here and there.

On the other hand, Edric,

“Wow! This card just came out!”

He was a typical beginner.

He was using a gambling deck that included monster cards with high cost and very difficult summoning conditions, and if he didn’t win by summoning them, he would lose.

Edric, a typical example of a mistake that beginners often make, is fooled by the high attack power and flashy appearance, and uses a so-called luck deck without considering the intermediate process.

But even if I was lucky, it was too good.

“This is ridiculous!”

“Okay!”

A fantastic machine that has trash performance until you have five cards in your hand, but guarantees an unconditional victory the moment you have all five cards.

It was Edric who pulled it out like eating some cold soup.

“Now I decide the story!”

“Please, just that…!”

I couldn’t believe I lost to such a ridiculous deck, and it was so frustrating, but there was nothing I could do.

Because duels were sacred.

Adrian is kneeling on the floor in frustration, while Edric is striking a cool pose as if it were a natural victory.

The two were writing the story of the work together under Rupert’s urging.

‘Edric has a great imagination and is good at coming up with interesting material, but he lacks the ability to structure a story.’

This was what Rupert said to Edric, who said that this time he really wanted to participate in the production.

‘And Adrian, you know how to make a very solid story structure, but you still lack an interesting development.’

Since both Edric and Adrian wanted to write the story for this piece, Rupert figured that they would make a good story if they joined forces.

‘Please take care of me, Edric.’

‘I am the one who needs to take good care of you, Adrian.’

The two, who had first joined forces and decided to create the best work this time, quickly became close friends.

And now we were fighting every day.

Adrian couldn’t understand Edric’s obsession with female characters to the point of obsession, and Edric couldn’t understand Adrian’s insistence on only telling orthodox stories to the point of frustration.

The two, who had such different opinions, were always at odds and would eventually settle the score with a card game they both enjoyed.

“Amelia, those two fight every day. How can… .”

The two noble men, the prince of the empire and the prince of the kingdom, argue and battle card games every day.

The other members felt like they should stop him, but they couldn’t bring themselves to do so, so they just watched.

The only hope is that Amelia, who is not inferior to those two, will step in to mediate.

“That could be true. I think it’s a healthy discussion for better work.”

Amelia, who had been mediating between the two at the request of her club members until recently, seemed to be distracted by something else recently and was just watching, which made the club members feel frustrated.

‘This is definitely a date for just the two of us!’

And now, Amelia’s mind was only on what Rupert had said a while ago.

‘Amelia, are you free next Wednesday evening?’

Rupert suddenly spoke to Amelia as she was leaving the classroom after the liberal arts class.

Rupert asked if Wednesday evening would be a good time for Amelia and soon invited her to a preview of the new theatre.

‘Should I wear the dress I got as a gift for my last birthday? It’s too flashy.’

It was almost Wednesday, but Amelia was disappointed that time was passing so slowly.
