What Lucy Alln did spread quickly within the Academy.

This news that she, who had been monopolizing everyone’s attention due to her recent numerous activities, had stepped on the head of a professor who was once a powerful figure in the royal court was very provocative.

Some people were happy that the bastard had finally shown his true colors.

Someone else expressed disappointment, saying they thought things would change but they didn’t.

Another person said that the current Lucy Alln was not the type of person to do that, and that she must have done that for some reason.

Of these, Arthur belonged to the third category.

This was partly because he knew that the current Lucy Alln was not the kind of person who would pick a fight with others without a reason, but the bigger reason was because he knew why Lucy Alln had come forward.

Arthur remembered the moment Lucy Aln stepped forward.

That moment when he bit his lip in anger at the words that insulted not only himself but also his mother.

When I lost my senses and tried to move my body, a voice penetrated my ear.

The sound of small footsteps traveling across the floor.

The sound of breathing that I could naturally sense was slightly heated.

At a time when Lucy was ignoring Balian, treating him like a janitor, Arthur noticed that it wasn’t because she really didn’t know Balian.

Her concern for Arthur was evident on her honest face after last winter vacation.

The moment he met those eyes, Arthur unconsciously added strength to his lips.

It was a strange thing.

Originally, Arthur did not like the feeling of virginity.

His idea was that most people who showed sympathy only wanted to show that they were sympathetic to others and did not truly care for others.

However, strangely enough, Lucy’s gaze was different.

Her worried eyes so easily shook Arthur’s emotions.

It’s a shame that Lucy Aln didn’t notice his agitation and immediately turned her gaze towards Balian, otherwise Arthur would have revealed his feelings as is.

After Lucy turned her head, Arthur, who had barely calmed down, suddenly felt that Lucy’s appearance was much different from usual.

Since the maid has been decorating her since she came here, it is natural that she is prettier than before.

Lucy Alln is not a person who is very obsessed with her appearance.

It is natural for a person who does not know how to decorate to change when touched by another person.

However, until now, Arthur had tried not to be conscious of the change.

It was clear that if my face turned red like it did at the end of last semester, I would be made fun of, so I did my best to look away.

Then, today, when he saw her change right before his eyes, he observed Lucy’s appearance in a daze.

Eyes that shine brighter than jewels.

Spotless white skin.

Small lips.

Her face as she listens to the story that the goddess in charge of beauty and art combed it herself.

This was why he inadvertently burst into laughter when he insulted Balian.

Because I was completely distracted, I failed to manage my facial expressions.

Arthur still regretted that moment.

If only he had kept his lips shut at that time. If only the conflict between Balian and Lucy had been left as a result of Arthur. Balian wouldn’t have cursed Lucy’s mother.

During the last vacation, Arthur learned from Lucy what his mother was like.

A person who supported Lucy throughout her life when she had to say harsh words against her will.

Even decades after her death, she misses Lucy so much that she breaks down in tears.

Although I’ve never met him, I’m sure he was warmer than anyone else.

That’s why Arthur didn’t stop Lucy. Even though he was able to grab her by the shoulders, he let her lunge at Balian. He watched as the girl who stepped forward for him got into an accident.

‘Prince 3. ‘Why did you stay next to me and not stop me!’

Arthur was unable to give any response to Joey’s grumbling. Everything Lucy did this time was his fault.

‘I’m sorry.’

‘…If you apologize like that, I have nothing to say.’

‘It’s okay if you don’t say anything. This incident is clearly my fault. So I’ll solve it.’

It’s okay to not worry about rumors inside the Academy.

Anyway, it’s not something you can stop even if you try.

There is no need to worry about the academy’s punishment either.

How much has Lucy Alln contributed to the Academy, so would the Academy punish her harshly?

Moreover, in this case, there are numerous extenuating circumstances, and the victim, Balian, is an old man who is far from power, so the punishment given to Lucy Aln will be at most a few days of probation.

The same goes for the conflict with the Cloak family.

Unless you’re out of your mind, there’s no way you’d start a fight with the Aln family.

In my personal opinion, I think it is more likely that the Cloak family will try to cut Balian off by sending a letter of apology.

It is clear what will happen if you incur the wrath of the disaster that is Benedick Aln.

In the end, in the current situation, there is only one force to worry about.

The second queen power that had Balian at least nominally.

“Younger brother. I didn’t know you would come first.”

2 Prince. Cecil Soladin welcomed Arthur’s visit.

He started to change in the second semester of last year, and although I don’t know what happened during this winter vacation, he succeeded in getting rid of most of his past violent temper. now

I was able to smile sincerely at Arthur.

Arthur, who was vaguely aware of this fact, obediently accepted Cecile’s welcome.

“I’m sorry for not being able to visit you often.”

“ done. There are things I have done in the past, so it is natural.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“No need to say anything, just sit down. Because I think I know what you came here for.”

“Is that so?”

“Didn’t Lucy Alln come here because of what she did this time?”

Arthur took a deep breath at what Cecil said with a chuckle, but then he let out a sigh and sat down in the chair that Cecil recommended.

It was obvious. If I came to visit you at this point, you wouldn’t have to be a fool to notice.

While Arthur was lamenting his own stupidity, Cecil prepared refreshments and placed them in front of him.

“If I had to answer first, I would have to say that I came here for no reason. We have no intention of saying anything to Lucy Aln.”

“…Yes? However.”

“First of all, we thought of that Balian human as nothing more than a nuisance. Next, Lucy Alln accumulated a lot of debt to her mother. In this situation, do you think we would touch Lucy Arlen?”

…Lucy Alln accumulated debt to the second queen?

Seeing a slight surprise on Arthur’s face at the completely unexpected news, Cecil smiled lightly and sat across from him.

“So, just finish your tea and go back. Later, tell Lucy Alln that someone from our side will send an apology. ah. really. You won’t see Balian anymore, so just know that.”

After finishing her story as if it was nothing, Cecil took a sip of her tea and frowned.

“Damn. Did I fail again? If this is the case, I will never have to hear praise from my mother again.”

The worries and passion of the past were nowhere to be seen in his grumbling expressions.

That was so surprising to Arthur. The person he knew named Cecil was someone whose voice always trembled when she talked about things related to the second queen.

“What happened?”

Arthur, who had asked the question without realizing it, thought for a moment that he had made a mistake, but Cecil’s expression was calm.

“It is difficult to go into detail, but I must explain that I am also indebted to Lucy Alln. Thanks to her, I heard my mother say sorry for the first time.”

Cecile, who was staring blankly at the teacup, soon put her face forward, saying that since she had given so many answers, she should ask a few questions as well.

“Younger brother. Did you know that there have been absurd rumors going around recently regarding Lucy Alln?”

“There are more than one or two rumors related to that guy, so I don’t know what they are.”

“No. well. Didn’t you say that you won against Rasha of the strongman hunter in the arena of the Tersha Empire?”

Arthur, who thought it was something serious, blinked the moment the name of the Tersha Empire was mentioned.

“Most luxury people consider this to be a ridiculous rumor. Some say that what Benedick Aln defeated was wrong, or that Rasha took care of it.”

“…Uh. That would be normal.”

“Okay. That’s normal. I think so too. But isn’t there something in this world? You never know about the brilliant talent that Lucy Alln possesses!”

Seeing Cecile’s eyes sparkling, Arthur thought back to the story he had heard when he stayed at the Arlen family during the previous vacation.

…I can’t believe the story that I almost died because of some crazy bitch at that time.

“Have you ever heard of it!? Does it exist!?”

“I heard that he didn’t just fight and won, but that he lasted for about a minute.”

“Accurate! haha! The rumors were true! Just how much stronger has the monster Lucy Alln become during this vacation!”

Arthur, who had heard Cecil’s loud voice saying that he would no longer be able to touch her, drank the tea she had given him and frowned.

“…What kind of leaf did you use?”

“It was taken from Pmon territory.”

“Aren’t those the most prized tea leaves?”

“But?”

“But it tastes like this?!”

Cecil averted her eyes to Arthur’s astonishment.

“…I’ll just ride again.”

“Hmm. Yes.”

The taste and aroma of the car Arthur rode again was incomparably better than before.

*

Surprisingly, my hitting on the professor didn’t cause any problems.

No punishment from the academy.

2The queen said she was truly sorry. He told me not to worry about Balian since I would never see him again and gave me a reward.

Even in the case of reputation, the kids who originally disliked me clicked their tongues, saying they knew that would happen, while the ones who looked at me okay thought it must have been for some reason and passed it over.

The only thing this incident left me with was that the professors looked at me more cautiously.

…no. There is one more thing.

The nagging of an idiot.

“Young-ae. Do you know how much it hurts my heart every time I hear something bad about my friend?”

“You idiot. Have you heard that story dozens of times now? If you’re not drunk, why are you saying the same thing again?”

“Please be alert! kyung! each! Sim!”

When Joy shouted that there were limits to her ability to control rumors, I secretly avoided her gaze.

no. But that doesn’t mean you can leave it alone to hit the pad lip.

I just punished the son of a bitch.

“Joy. Just a moment.”

After hearing Faby’s gentle voice, I was hopeful that I might finally be able to escape Joey’s nagging.

“Emotions should not be included in sermons. Preaching is not about reprimanding, but about explaining what is right.”

But that was my mistake. Because Fabie was the type of person who could nag so horribly long that even Joey freaked out.

After being caught and scolded by Joey and Fabi for several hours, I ran away and saw the people filling the square and realized that the time had come.

This is when the Academy’s dungeons open.
