Chapter 3 – Episode 3. Astrid Is Determined
Astrid was looking out of her car window in the carriage back to her mansion.
The beautiful scenery continues.
As the sun slowly sets, the red sunset covers the farmland, and those who have finished the day’s labor straighten their bent backs.
Sheaf of straw piled up after gathering the remaining chaff after harvested grain is shaken off.
A view of rich farmland.
It was a landscape that was hard to find in the northern Mitterien estate where the mansion was located.
Because of the cold, it is difficult to do field farming, and this kind of farming is only done at the edge of the territory that is barely in contact with the temperate region. I heard you’re saving me
“Asti.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Aren’t there just two of you?”
Wolfgang looked at his lovely daughter, Astrid, with a gentle smile as best he could.
Astrid, who was reflected in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, she answered in a crawling voice without even looking directly at Wolfgang.
“… Dad.”
“Right.”
Staring at Astrid, who blushed as if embarrassed, Wolfgang gave a satisfied smile.
The same year as her close friend Kreuz, both of them are late-born children.
They were the kind of daughter and son that wouldn’t hurt even if you put them in your eyes.
Since they were born in the year the war ended, I thought they were definitely blessed children.
That idea was not wrong, both of them grew up to be smart, intelligent, and handsome men and women, and Wolfgang and Kreuz made a firm promise to marry their two children when they were five years old and when they turned twenty.
However, as the provision that the crown prince must go to the imperial military academy was newly established, the wedding was somewhat delayed, but it is only a matter of time and the promise must be kept.
Then it happened half a year ago.
Astrid, who was coming down the stairs for dinner, suddenly lost her consciousness and tumbled down her steps, the way she had been unconscious for a month and did not wake up.
She tried all kinds of medicines and fed them all, and even though Creutz sent court wizards and even the master of the Mage Tower in the south to treat her, she was a daughter who did not improve at all.
There was also anxiety that she might not be able to wake up like this, but on the day when she was a month old, Astrid opened her eyes like a lie, and after that, she acted as if she had become a completely different person for a while.
The employees took care of Astrid with all their heart, as they were instructed to do their best to take care of her, presumably as a side effect of the long unconsciousness, and thanks to that, she quickly regained her memories and seemed to return to her former daughter.
And like this, she finally made it to the meeting place safely and returned home.
To Wolfgang, Astrid, who sat across from him and looked out the car window, was a very cute daughter.
“Asti, what are you thinking?”
“Hmm… “
Astrid was silent for a while, her slightly grayish lips tightly shut.
With her eyes fixed on the farmland outside the car window, Astrid didn’t answer.
When Astrid didn’t say anything after waiting for her for a long time, Wolfgang was about to call her daughter’s name again to urge her.
“… Is it necessary to get married?”
It was like a thunderclap.
“What are you talking about, Asti?”
“I am now 20 years old, and I have a desire to see a wider world.”
“Huh.”
It wasn’t that Astrid didn’t know her heart.
Just twenty years old
Astrid, the white leopard of the snowfield, who is more familiar with breaking the bones and splitting hairs of foreigners than the books that girls read, cross-stitch, knitting, or social gatherings.
He had no regrets for such a daughter.
It was also incomprehensible that Astrid, who would never be able to get used to the life of an ordinary young lady because of the blessing of the stars, was in such a hurry to get married.
“Asti. It is not something I do not know about your heart.”
“If you do, Dad.”
“I know very well that you and Leopold are not on good terms. But isn’t that already 10 years ago? Besides, that wasn’t something Leopold did on purpose, it was an accident.”
“Dad.”
“Things like that are things that you can naturally forget and cover with affection as you live. Furthermore… “
I just didn’t want to say this.
But it has to be said.
“If you become a member of the Einhafen imperial family, and the union of the imperial family and our Mitterien family is achieved… Wouldn’t the future of the Einhafen Empire be flat?”
At that, Astrid bit her mouth shut.
The mint-colored eyes looked out the window again.
Suddenly, the wagon passed through the rich grain fields and slowly entered the mountain road.
‘Marriage… Is it marriage?’
Astrid chewed on Wolfgang’s words in her mind.
Half a year. It’s only half a year.
No matter how familiar it is, it’s just the world I’ve read in books, and it took me a while to get used to the fantasy world that I experienced with my body like this.
Even if it was the tone, I couldn’t understand at all where Astrid, the original owner of this body, was going and I was occupying this body.
However, Astrid had to adapt quickly.
It is too boring and uninteresting to live in this world without computers, televisions, or smartphones.
With the determination of wanting to return to the original world as soon as possible, he set his goal to survive.
As Astrid von Mitterien, she should not be questioned.
She has to adapt and adapt so thoroughly that there is no doubt about it.
And in that state, she finds a way to return to the original world.
That was also the final goal.
The news like a thunderbolt that fell upon Astrid was the marriage.
He was originally a man, so no matter how much he tried to adapt, he didn’t have the confidence to adapt that far.
First of all, if you were to get married, you would have to do it.
And if you accept that
‘That’s what Amta is. No, no. No way. You can never do that. No no. I’m noman It must be No Mans.’
I will not be a slave to hormones, I will be No Mans itself.
Astrid added another goal to her own goals.
Then he felt uncomfortable because he didn’t know anything.
As soon as I possessed, I was 20 years old. It’s been a long time since I debuted in the social world, and my reputation is low.
Since she was a grand duchess, invitations flew in every week from social circles, but Astrid did not attend.
It’s a courtesy, and something to know.
After rejecting all invitations on the pretext of being sick, the frequency of invitations flying in decreased dramatically.
I was going over the curve like that, but now I even had a meeting.
I had to make the worst choice there, but anyway, now I have earned the time of 4 years.
‘I have to go back somehow. I’ll have to go back.’
But the problem was the academy.
Usually, when looking at novels, this academy is the most problematic.
All kinds of troubles arise here, and in the end, the male protagonist’s alpha male appearance makes his heart pound, and eventually he becomes a female.
The academy is the hotbed where the development emerges.
From Astrid’s point of view, marriage can be delayed legally. I don’t want to choose it, but it’s a valid excuse anyway.
Academy, an option I would never have taken if I had known in advance.
To that very academy, the very next week, Astrid had to go too.
Since I was allowed to enter the school by the imperial order, I couldn’t return it now, and I couldn’t avoid going to the academy no matter what excuse I gave.
“Dad.”
“OK.”
As soon as he called, his blue eyes turned towards Astrid.
Those eyes were really shining in different ways.
It was the eyes of a white tiger that radiated death and jealousy toward the barbarians, but when they were fighting with their servants, their intelligence and intelligence shone, and when they looked back at the local people, they were the eyes of a gentle parent. When I look at Astrid, it is also the soft and warm eyes of my father.
“Dad, what department do you want me to go to?”
“The medium and long term knights. The flower of the battlefield is the medium and long-term knights. Although the Knights of Magic are showing their prestige, in the end, the Knights of Magic are not first-class as knights or magicians. Ultimately, it is the heavy knights who enter the enemy camp, push it back, and plant a flag. Remnants of skill do not work on the battlefield. Got it?”
I just said a word.
With this, Astrid set her path forward.
First goal. Somehow return to the original world.
If that doesn’t work, somehow break off the engagement. And receive the Academy’s long-term knight secretary.
Then he returns to the manor, takes over his father’s title, and spends the rest of his life in peace.
If he became a grand duke anyway, there would be no problem in living a peaceful life.
If, really, if there is no way to return to the original world at all, it won’t be a difficult life even if you do.
Okay…
I am the Grand Duchess of the North.
The unbreakable fortress, Astrid von Mitterien.
My life is noman
It should be.
Certainly.
