Chapter 1511 – Open Ceremony
“Wow~”
A white-haired girl looking through a telescope from high above the castle and looking at the streetscape below the castle with sparkling eyes.
The girl with so much elegance that you would think she must be a noble at a glance is Nelf Waikatsu, who recently returned to Frunar Academy.
She came to Dre’s estate after receiving an invitation and kept sticking her tongue out after arriving.
Urban landscaping, movement routes considering movement, various conveniences, entertainment facilities, etc. This territory boasted better infrastructure than any other territory Nelf had seen.
What impressed me more than anything was the technology.
“The technology of elves and dwarves is so brilliant!”
Robot troops are flying around in the sky, and spirits are cackling here and there.
Tree roots and bushes surround the building, and far from looking dirty, it gives off a sacred atmosphere, and in fact, a strong spirit power is protecting the building.
In addition, the wind path, various types of elevators, etc.
‘I’ve read about this race’s technology, but seeing it in person is a completely different technology and culture!’
This wide world. People admire so many different cultures and technologies, but what about the essence of other races?
The dwarf elves who were inspecting the ballroom facilities smiled happily at the admiration of the pretty girl.
However, there was a tall woman standing next to him. The head of Waikatsu, who was also Nelf’s mother, had a disapproving look on her face.
“Keep your dignity. You have become the successor to Faikatsu again.”
Nelf simply ignored his mother’s nagging and opened his mouth to take a detailed look around the city through the ‘spirit telescope.’
“I want to see it from higher~”
Nelf turned his back and looked higher up in the castle.
The ballroom where Nelf stands now was called Stage 1.5.
Since it was the opening day of the estate, which was said to be the best of all time, countless people other than Dre’s acquaintances flocked.
Drega expressed his wish for the VIPs to enjoy the place leisurely without being overwhelmed by the crowds, and the residents of the territory faithfully carried out the lord’s wish and divided the area.
‘The quality is incredible that it was made hastily. No. ‘Great.’
A space that is not crowded even if more than 100 people move around at once.
Very luxurious interior, even considering the status of those invited.
Perfect service that uses elf magic to provide fast service, etc.
It was a place that everyone in the world would want to come to at least once.
‘More than anything, this telescope is great.’
On all sides of this ballroom, there were telescopes called ghost telescopes, as transparent as fog. For some reason, these telescopes were very convenient as they not only allowed us to see things far away, but also magnified all over the city.
Also, there are grades, so the higher the grade, the more detailed the scenery can be seen.
There are a total of twelve levels, and all of Dre’s acquaintances were invited to the ballroom at level 1.5, the second-highest level.
‘I wonder what stage 1 will be like~ I want to see the dwarves’ transparent stairs as well~’
Nelf was very excited as she looked through her telescope again, and the matriarch looked at her as if she was dumbfounded, but also grinned.
“Are you enjoying it~?”
Nelf turned around with a happy smile at the voice that suddenly came from behind.
Gorgeous Elysia, wearing a gold dress that matched her hair color, was waving her hand.
El bowed her waist to the head of Faikatsu.
“Hello, matriarch.”
“Hmm.”
A somewhat awkward greeting.
The teenage families have a bad relationship.
In particular, the external families who had sealed each dangerous area felt that the three families in support roles, Grise, Heart, and Blizzard, were becoming more and more arrogant, so they blushed at every meeting.
‘Leor. Every time that guy secretly scratched my insides, I wanted to kill him.’
A smile formed on the face of the Faikatsu matriarch at the sight of El, who was so polite that it was hard to believe that she was the daughter of the arrogant Leor. Since I had experienced hardships and sorrows in Baekgye, I liked him even more.
“It’s been a while, my lady. Then, let’s talk.”
The matriarch noticed and quickly left the place.
As she walked away, Nelf and Elysia held each other’s hands and squealed without even thinking about who went first.
“Mr. Elysia! I missed you!”
“We kept exchanging text messages, but we made a fuss~”
Even as she said that, Elysia also looked happy.
The friendship between the two people who literally shared their lives in the White World was very strong.
“But did Nelf meet Dre?”
“No. Not yet…”
Nelf looked a little disappointed.
It can’t be helped.
It’s the day of the opening ceremony. How busy will the lord be?
“Ha… I wish I had been invited to stage 1 too.”
Elysia looked at the ceiling above the ground.
The top floor of Yeongju Castle is called the first stage. Only the lord and those authorized by him could enter.
The standards for permission are so strict that even administrators who have contributed greatly to the territory are said to not be able to enter unless they have business to do.
‘It’s probably an image strategy to build up the lord’s prestige.’
Dre’s personality is such that he doesn’t seem to discriminate against people.
It’s probably the thoughts of the people below.
‘Instructor. I miss you.’
When she cleared the White World, she was so dazed that she couldn’t have a calm conversation with him.
Dre is so busy now that it’s hard to even see his face.
‘Didn’t you say that the people associated with Frunar Academy would invite you to another ball tomorrow?’
It’s been a while since we’ve been able to meet each other, so let’s talk about Baekgye’s current situation, future events, etc. I wanted to talk about my current situation.
At that moment, perhaps because of her mood, L’s voice became a little cold.
“Nelf missed Dre too, right?”
“Huh? Uh… Uh, right… Right?”
Nelf noticed.
Elysia was smiling, but she looked somewhat anxious.
Nelf is a smart girl.
I had an idea why Elysia was like this.
That is… Love.
‘I guess they’re doing this because they’re worried that the number of competitors will increase…’
Elysia loves Dre.
Although her love feelings were somewhat dull, her mother instilled in her love knowledge while she stayed at the Faikatsu main house for a little over a week.
Although she didn’t know the reason, Nelf was able to easily understand El’s attitude and the reason, as she absorbed it like a sponge.
‘I respect Instructor Dre…’
Okay. I respect you without a doubt.
It’s not love. There is not a single trace of romantic feelings in her.
To begin with, Dre has a lover. The lovers are Nelf and her friend Meichi.
Dre protected and helped her Nelf in many ways.
When she remembers the days she spent with him in the White World, her heart warms, but that’s it.
Again, it is definitely not a romantic feeling.
Her mother must be mistaken: “This is our only chance since we are not even engaged.” They say ridiculous things like “Fight for it” But…
Is it because he is thinking of his mother who is in a tight spot?
Her heart felt tight.
‘How did you convey this to Miss Elysia?’
I have no interest in Instructor Dre at all! If you directly refute it, Elysia might be embarrassed and get angry that she didn’t mean it that way, or she might get angry that you’re belittling Dre.
Elle became impatient as Nelf was lost in her thoughts without answering.
“Why, why is there no answer? Didn’t you miss Dre?”
Nelf found Elysia fidgeting cute.
The gap between her and Nell Prosser, who had seen her reigning nobly in the middle of her faction at Frunar Academy for so long, was enormous.
‘I can’t believe that the cold Miss Elysia has changed so much.’
I thought she was like Elysia, someone who works sincerely in everything she does.
‘This person is sincere in love now.’
Elysia has a fiancé.
He is a handsome man named Platt.
About a year ago, Elysia suddenly ran away from love.
Grise’s daughter and honor student left everything and left.
Naturally, it became a huge topic at Frunar Academy, and the students became anxious to find out who the other man was.
Platt’s face was revealed, and he looked good enough to convince Elysia that he deserved it.
I said so. After leaving the flat, Elysia is now giving her love to Dre.
‘It was during that love escape that Miss Alicia met Instructor Dre, right?’
Bringing Dre to the academy was gold. Ashita. It was Elysia and Clarir.
‘There was a lot of talk back then.’
Everyone was shocked that a stranger with no reputation suddenly came as a temporary instructor.
What kind of position is an instructor at Frunar Academy?
It is an honorary position where even the world’s leading intellectuals and talented people are eliminated due to lack of qualifications.
You can guess the status of the people currently working as instructors just by looking at their faces.
But suddenly, a stranger was recommended for that instructor position.
There was an absurd rumor that the reason was because they had caught a runaway dragon that had disappeared a long time ago.
‘Now I know.’
That’s definitely not a rumor.
Dre is strong and kind.
During that great incident. Elysia must have experienced something similar to her fate that made her fall in love with him.
And to be honest, the man named Platt seemed so light compared to Dre.
All Platt has is a face, but Nelf truly thought that Dre was the person with charm that rivaled that of Kites.
Perhaps Elysia didn’t like flats, she just admired them.
She has finally found her true love.
‘First love.’
Nelf has never loved anyone, but like a girl, he yearns for his first love.
I could also understand Elysia’s boiling emotions.
As Nelf laughed, El felt even more anxious.
“Come here just a moment…!”
Elysia grabbed Nelf’s wrist and dragged her to a corner.
Nelf was a little scared, wondering if he might be right.
“Nelf. Can you erase my presence?”
“Yes. Bae, I learned it.”
It’s a large place, but there are a lot of people and the two people’s appearance stands out, so it would be essential to kill them if they want to have a secret conversation.
The moment Elysia used Ryunar to kill the presence, Elysia spoke.
“Nelf. Do you like Dre?”
“Oh, no?!”
I never thought I would ask for it through direct purchase!
Nelf shook his hands and head left and right in denial.
“I respect you very much, but I don’t adore you!!”
“Really? Really?”
“It’s true!!”
Elysia stared into Nelf’s eyes, as if trying to see through her lies.
While I was in a cold sweat. Elysia said phew.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s not a lie~”
“Well, can you tell that just by looking at your eyes…?”
Dre is also good at distinguishing between lies. Is this a specialty of excellent people?
El couldn’t hear Nelf’s words, and she hummed.
She smiled happily.
“I’m glad. Nelf is my friend. I don’t want to compete with my friend.”
“…!”
The word ‘friend’ instantly warms my heart.
Let Nelf laugh. Elysia looked guilty.
“I was bad, wasn’t I?”
“Yes…?”
“Meichi…”
Meichi.
She was originally pretty, but after dating Dre, she became so pretty that anyone other than Asita or Renea could approach her.
She has a good personality and is devoted. Look at Sunae, I think there is no partner more suitable for Dre.
A good girl who cherishes her friends and is kind to everyone.
Elysia harbored a deep sense of guilt within her.
That’s right. Because she loves her friend’s man.
For some reason.
Her heart felt a little more tight.
“That’s not true. Emotions are not something you can control.”
At those words, Elysia once again stared into Nelf’s eyes. Then she immediately lowered her head with a sullen face.
“It’s a lie this time.”
“Oh, no…”
‘It’s really accurate.’
Nelf was surprised. She actually thought she was a bit mean.
But. Nelf is also an Eleunarian.
We are residents of this world where the class system is dominant.
“Hey. If you’re like Instructor Dre, wouldn’t you practice polygamy?”
The name value of the Sword of Light Flame is not at all inferior to that of a true hero.
Also, from Nelf’s perspective, the development potential of this territory is endless. There will be a lot of talk about Dre’s marriage.
This is an era where political marriages are rampant to solidify the future.
If you look at the people who admire Dre, the only ones who are influential enough to hold their tongues. No matter who he connects with, his influence becomes stronger.
Nelf thought that if he were Dre, he would make as many marriages as possible.
‘Even in past history, there were many monarchs who practiced polygamy for royal power or politics.’
Unlike an arranged marriage where there was no love. There are many people who admire Dre.
Dre can pick a quality woman. It was a situation that any man would like, so he thought there was hope for Elysia as well.
Maybe…
‘… Perhaps. What?’
I don’t understand my own thinking.
Nelf felt Elysia’s staring gaze and spoke hurriedly.
“Why? There are rumors like that.”
“Rumors?”
“It doesn’t make sense, but I heard that instructor Dre is seducing other girls…”
If the rumor is true, the possibility of Elysia getting married also increases.
She is Greize’s successor, and she is very beautiful and excellent, so it is strange that they are not together.
Nelf explained his thoughts, and Elysia felt noticeably better.
But that was only for a moment.
Elysia looked at the people gathered at the party with a serious face.
“You know, Nelf. This ball. Isn’t there a high percentage of women?”
“… Ah.”
Looking at the people gathered at the party, there is clearly a high proportion of women.
Moreover, all of them are beautiful enough to make your eyes widen, and only the big names.
Except for a very small number of people who came to the stage 1.5 ball, they were all Dre’s acquaintances.
“I think they’re all women targeting Dre. Clarir, Asita, Palyu, Raldud. Transcendents of the other world, Raiet, Flaun, Insus, Diamond…”
“Isn’t the last one a bit strange?”
Dia is Dre’s student, and it seemed like he had respect, not affection?
Above all, she is a very sincere person.
“No. Diamonds are dangerous too.”
“?”
Diamond?
It can’t be.
‘… Why do I keep feeling tight in my chest…’
“Besides, there were a lot of leeches.”
At the stage 1.5 party, in addition to the big names that Dre is friends with, there are very few people, and they are envoys who have come from a very distant country to a nearby country in the name of congratulating the opening of the territory.
However, most of those envoys were women or came accompanied by women.
Just by looking at it, the scent of an arranged marriage was in the air.
“Nelf? At least I have a higher chance of being chosen than them, right?”
“Uh oh…”
Nelf couldn’t answer right away.
I just thought there were a lot of excellent women around Dre, but there are more than I imagined.
Isn’t there a degree to polygamy?
‘What on earth does Instructor Dre do on a regular basis?’
That moment. There was a natural scent.
“Two minutes. Are you enjoying it~?”
Someone approached the two people.
The two people who turned their heads swallowed their breath without realizing it.
Ashita, whom I just praised, has a beauty that rivals Meichi.
Unlike the other two, she was Aldia, who exuded a mature feel and was called the highest elder of the Holy Land of the Wind.
El and Nelf remembered her as one of her closest rivals.
Elysia opened her eyes sharply, and Nelf hurriedly lowered her head.
“… It’s been a while since I saw you.”
“Oh, hello.”
Aldia looked at the two people who greeted her with a grin.
“Yes. Hello.”
“What’s going on?”
Elysia asked in a hard voice.
She instinctively recognized that the person in front of her was a competitor.
“I thought you were saying something interesting.”
“What…?”
“I’m also interested in your story.”
Nelf was perplexed.
Are you interested in Dre’s marriage story? What does it mean?
This person. Aren’t you married…?
‘S-No way… An affair…!’
The moment when Nelf’s head became hot and her heart became more congested.
Paaaaa!
Above the sky of the territory. A huge Dre appeared.
Elysia, as if wondering when she had sharpened her edge, shouted, “Aaaaah! Dre!” She shouted with excitement and cheered.
People around me said, “That’s really fancy.” “Was that bastard a government official?” “Mr. Dre~” Etc. I heard voices welcoming me.
Next to Dre, there was Meichi.
Maybe. It seemed like he was trying to give a brief speech to the people gathered outside the manor.
And Dre takes a deep breath.
She shouted.
[My girlfriend is the prettiest in the world!!]
[My girlfriend is the best in the world!!]
The pride and pride that cannot be hidden in his voice. It was sincere.
And.
Dre’s happy face that I’ve never seen before.
A face full of happiness and affection for Meichi. Nelf was dumbfounded. I realized.
‘Ah. The only instructor is Mr. Meichi.’
Only Maychee could make Dre’s face look like that.
Polyandry. What an example.
You go around seducing women. Those are all just rumors.
That’s right. You look so happy.
So much so that I can’t stand it without bragging to people. I love Meichi.
May Chi continued to stop Dre from bragging and burst out laughing together, looking like the happiest person in the world.
I’m very jealous.
Can I love like that too?…
“… Nelf?”
Elysia let out a faint voice.
Why do you want to do that?
Her eyes became hazy.
“Uh…”
When I touched her eyes, water came out.
She was crying.
‘… Ah. I see.’
The reason why her mother suddenly started teaching her love lessons.
The reason why I was able to immediately notice that Elysia loved Dre.
The reason she said polygamy was hope, even though she thought it was nonsense.
‘I love Instructor Dre.’
I don’t know when I fell in love.
But only the endless tears made me realize the eternal heartbreak.
