Chapter 107 – Slowly, but a Little Bit Suddenly (6)
“Your Highness the Princess.”
Benelia, who was wiping her sweat with a towel, turned her head at the sound of Roylen’s words to her. Benelia’s gym uniform was her, with her hair tied back, was soaked with sweat. This is because she ran dozens of laps around her gymnasium without resting for a moment.
Her breathing her was heavy and her fingertips her trembled, but her Benelia eyes her did not lose their brilliance. Her golden pupils her stare at the middle-aged person in front of her eyes her.
‘Lauren? Why here….’
After returning from the Countess of Pelgarin and pretending to be with everyone in her imperial family, Benelia was glad to see Prof. Benelia who had come to visit her. She did, but she didn’t show it outwardly.
She knew that in order to survive on her own her, Benelia had to become a hero, a leader and a spark of revolution. She has to show favoritism to any one guy so she doesn’t become a hero. She can’t be called a leader, and she can’t spark a revolution.
Deohae Island is a jungle in which the logic of the law of the jungle leads to the truth. It was a hell in this world where you can only survive by hiding your true feelings, not trusting everyone, and having to test your opponents.
So, just because she is called Roilen, she cannot make exceptions. Benelia, who had calmed her welcome, narrowed her eyes as she played her usual lord her.
“What are you doing here?”
“Haha. As usual, I came to report on the situation, but the reaction was too cold.”
“I’m sure I never asked you to report.”
Roylen understood her Benelia’s cold attitude. Literally, Benelia, who was reinstated in the Imperial Palace, did not give Roylen an order to do so.
She even went as far as to say that from now on, she should devote herself to teaching at the University Magic Tower. That was her Benelia’s consideration for her.
If she fails in the revolution, Roylen, who was her closest aide her, will run away from her head her, so Benelia made a hole for her to get out of by throwing her away first.
As one, Illen returned to the side of her princess. She came back less than a day after being told to quit.
“Your Highness, Princess. I rode the same boat with Your Highness.”
Roylen bowed her head deeply.
“I don’t know whether the ship will go through Mureungdowon or Burning Hell, but I will never jump into the sea because it is called hell.”
“In addition to being stupid, you are even foolish.”
“Usually, in political history, people like me are packaged as loyal subjects.”
Benelia let out a light smile thanks to Roilen, who calmly accepted her words her.
“You speak arrogantly well. Good night. Raise her head her.”
“Yes. Majesty.”
Roylen, with her head up, faces Benelia. It seemed that she was sincere when she said that she would take the same boat, and there was not an inch of shaking in her straight eyes.
“…… Then I will report it.”
“Looking at you.”
“This is information related to Viscount Theorard.”
Theoradra. Benelia clicks her chin in interest. It was her unspoken affirmation her to go on.
“Recently, the president of the Imperial University Mage Tower showed interest in Viscount Theorad. It must be because he heard that he had perfected the artificial rain magic.”
“Therefore?”
“The Mage Tower has put forward the position of inviting Viscount Theorad as an outside lecturer. Currently, full professors, including myself, are arguing, but since the president’s influence is strong, it seems that the resolution of the controversy will come out in the near future in the direction of permission to stand.”
“Hmm…….”
If you were the president of the University Magic Tower, you were one of only two great wizards in the entire empire. He is a wizard of destruction, and it is rumored that he can cause an earthquake and drop a thunderbolt enough to burn a mountain with a single spell.
Did such a being show interest in Theorard? I don’t know what the intention is, but I don’t think it was pushed forward with good intentions.
I’m kind of worried. Benelia, who had raised her index finger and tapped her on the chin, nodded her head in agreement.
“I can’t overrule the president’s choice. So say it. Is the date near?”
“I don’t think it’s going to be close. This is because even if the meeting is concluded, approval from the Imperial Household Department is required, and furthermore, His Majesty’s permission must be granted.”
“It’s complicated. I know that the Magic Tower is not to the extent of receiving permission from the imperial family for one guest lecturer.”
“That is……The case of Viscount Theorard is unprecedented, so the imperial family needs to review it. Also, even if you look back on all the history of the world, there are only a handful of cases where an individual who has not received a higher education as a wizard has perfected great magic.”
“Is it. Seeing as the reason why the imperial family wants to get involved in the Magic Tower is grandiose, it seems that I’m not the only one keeping an eye on Theorad.”
In a way, it was natural for the court ministers to judge that having Theorard on their side would be a useful force.
That’s why it’s probably putting a spoon on the president’s choice. They approved it, and even obtained permission from His Majesty the Emperor, so you should repay it on your own.
‘Do something stupid….’
Theorad Deharm, whom Benelia met, was not a man so lax as to be caught in the same appeasement. Even if the court ministers were wrong, they were correctly pointing.
Thinking about it makes me smile. She looked into the distance and turned to Ilen as Benellia gave a small chuckle. A gentle breeze blows her benelli, her gray hair flutters softly.
“Once the date and time have been decided, come report back to me. I’ll see Theorad one more time at the Mage’s Tower.”
“Your Highness the Princess.”
“Can you? To borrow your words, you are loyal.”
At the first word that came out of Benelia’s mouth her, ‘Loyalty’, Roylen felt a lump in her chest her and placed her hand her in front of her own heart.
“I will absolutely obey your order.”

Late evening.
Returning from the plaza, I met the elf at the entrance of the mansion.
I thought I had a lot of fun playing all day, but the elf’s expression was still emotionless. So much so that I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking.
‘…… It would have been nice if there had been a chamberlain.’
I didn’t come out to meet him today, for some reason I was busy, so I had no choice but to see the elf alone even now, back at the mansion.
I wish I could say something, but I feel like I’m burning inside because I’m consistent in silence. After being still for a while, I couldn’t overcome the awkwardness and opened my mouth.
“Did you enjoy it?”
The elf’s red eyes look up at me. The elf slowly closed and opened his eyes and answered in a small voice.
“A little bit.”
“Good thing. Then from tomorrow…….”
I intentionally blurred my tail. It was because he thought that if the elf didn’t want to sell it, he might be able to continue the current situation.
However, the elf was adamant.
“I know. It will go back to normal.”
A slightly complicated tone resonates like an echo. Why is the elf looking for a sale? Why do we force each other to play difficult roles?
‘Is it fun to bully me? ….’
I couldn’t figure out the elf’s intentions, but I had no choice. I smiled bitterly and nodded.
“It is. It’s late. Go in and sleep.”
“The master too.”
The elf spoke coldly and turned her around to walk down the hallway. In the darkness of the hallway, she sees the soft dangling end of the red ribbon next to her hair band her.
I wanted to say something, but the elf turned around the corner of the hallway without looking back once.
I stared blankly at the quiet hallway, put aside unnecessary thoughts and walked to my room.
From tomorrow, I will have to play the ‘cold-blooded psychopath owner’ again.
It’s difficult, but what can I do? As long as I can’t drive out the elves, that’s the result I’ll have to bear…….
*
Returning to the room, the elf skillfully took off his clothes.
He took off his apron, untied the ribbon that was fastening his collar his, unbuttoned one button after another, and pulled the dress down along his shoulder line his. Finally, she took off her hairband and folded it up on top of the old desk.
The moonlight streaming in from the window touches the elf’s graceful body and shatters it. Half-naked, the elf in her underwear took off the choker around her neck her and sat down on a chair in front of her desk her.
The elf, who hesitated for a while, lifted her choker and put it at eye level. Red eyes resembling corundum look at the choker with blue energy.
‘Gift…….’
It was probably Theorard’s first gift. It wasn’t something the elf gave me because he needed it, like a dog bowl, leash, or maid uniform, but something that was given out of pure generosity.
‘Does Essilie receive something like this every day?’
Every time I meet Theorard, I will whisper love every single day. They must have had a wonderful time exchanging silly jokes.
If being together is fun and happy is the ‘love’ that Esily said, she could understand it to some extent. The time I spent casually with Theorad today wasn’t too bad.
But is it absolute? Is it painful enough to die without it? Is it a feeling desperate enough to risk her own life?
‘…… No.’
Love could be understood, but Esily could not.
The elf, who was staring at the choker with half-open eyes, turned the sole of the cat’s foot half a turn. Fire – Mana is radiated and a square spear emerges.
Elf selected the most recently recorded file among them and played a specific section.
– She is a woman whom I especially like and cherish.
Theorard’s voice jumps out with clear quality. Even though she already knew it, hearing it again made her ears red for no reason.
Why can this guy say such a thing without hesitation? How could he be so kind to the being who tormented him so much?
‘It’s just like when she was little…….’
Theorard was still stupidly nice. The elf couldn’t understand why that ‘still’ hadn’t been broken yet.
‘Are you deceiving me?’
Or is it that he has n’t revealed his true nature his yet? If not…… Is my memory wrong? It’s something I can’t figure out even if I think about it for a long time.
Can’t be I have no choice but to stay by Theorad’s side until everything is clear.
“Because there was no deadline for the promise…….”
The elf muttered lowly, put the choker on the desk and went to bed and covered the blanket. I’m trying to sleep as it is, but for some reason, ominous thoughts keep coming to my mind.
For example, when you wake up, your choker is blown by the wind and falls out of the window, or something like a crow or cat bites your choker and disappears.
It was a small item and the soles of the cat’s paws were shiny because it was made of metal, so it was possible to have enough.
‘I’m anxious.’
After tossing and turning in bed, the elf finally opened his eyes and stood up.
The elf walked over to her desk and picked up her choker and put it around his neck her. The tingling sensation was uncomfortable, but not unbearable.
The elf, who tied the choker around his neck and crawled back into bed, suddenly wondered why he was behaving like this.
A choker is definitely something you don’t need at all, and isn’t it an accessory that won’t be a waste even if you lose it?
‘…… But, it’s mine.’
As long as I received the gift, the ownership belongs to me.
So, this was an act that had nothing to do with Theorad…….
