Chapter 129 – Invitation From the University Magic Tower (4)
It’s been a week since I started preparing for the lecture under the leadership of the elf. The preparation for the lecture was completed without much difficulty thanks to the elf who had a wide range of knowledge that was incomparable to mine.
Now that the preparations for the lecture are over, I have to go to the Imperial University Mage Tower on time, but the problem is that the invitation date of the University Mage Tower coincides with the schedule of the Spring Hunt held by the Pelgarin family.
In order to attend the Great Hunt, he could not go to the Mage Tower, and if he went to the Mage Tower, he could not attend the Great Hunt.
After thinking over and over again, I chose to go to the Magic Tower. It was important to build friendship with Count Pelgarin, but I couldn’t ignore the letter written by the president of the Mage Tower himself.
So, before going to the Magic Tower, I stopped by Pelgaroin Castle to explain the situation to His Excellency the Count.
I wanted to have a quick chat with Essilly before seeing the Count, but things didn’t go the way I had hoped.
“The university magic tower said they would serve you as a special guest lecturer.”
While walking down the hallway following the maid who promised to guide her to her room her, she happened to meet His Excellency the Count.
Thanks to His Excellency’s request to talk right away, I had no choice but to go into a nearby drawing room and have a private meeting with the Count.
“Hmm.”
The neatly swept back hair and neat clothes are still the same, but for some reason, it seems that the fatigue is piled up in both eyes.
He must have been physically and mentally exhausted from Prince Fred’s joining the rebels. I kept my silence because I didn’t think it was polite to ask about it.
The faint scent of black tea rises from the teacup placed on the table. The Count paused for a moment before continuing.
“Isn’t it the slope? There is no need to apologize to me.”
I lowered my gaze with a guilty heart and slowly raised my head. A faint smile crept across the stern count’s face.
“This boy. The Great Hunt will be held next year and the year after that. But what about the invitation from the University Magic Tower? If you refuse this time, it’s an opportunity that won’t come again. Am I wrong?”
“It is not wrong.”
“Okay. So don’t worry and have a good trip. If things go well, the imperial family will be interested in you. Do you know I will give you gold and silver treasures and appoint you as the lord of the fertile land. “
“Dismissal. Even if you ask me to become a lord, I……”
I hurriedly refrained from talking behind my back. It was because His Excellency the Count looked at me with a stern expression.
“Don’t be silly, if you get a chance, grab it. It’s because the guy who will be my son-in-law doesn’t have this much ambition. It’s not enough even if you keep your eyes wide open to get your share in the upcoming war…….”
For some reason, the complexion of His Excellency the Count, who said that, was a bit bitter. Holding on to the armrest of the sofa, His Excellency the Count let out a faint sigh.
“Anyway, do well. Shouldn’t you tarnish the honor of my best friend and your father?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Okay. By the way……”
His Excellency the Count, who looked around, leaned down and whispered so that only I could hear.
“When are you going to serve the meal?”
“Speaking of food…….”
“Don’t you know that my daughter’s wedding season is full? You should soon get married and have a relationship between husband and wife.”
“Ah. I understand what you are saying, but I am concerned that the timing is not right.”
“Not appropriate!”
His Excellency the Count spat out a rant and glared at me mischievously. At first glance, it looked like it was swollen.
“Even in times of war, flowers bloom. The sooner you need flowers, the better. Or are you going to give me grandchildren only when I die of old age?”
I had nothing to say when you asked me that much. He passed the time with a gigantic smile, but His Excellency Count’s eyes His did not waver one bit. After a moment of embarrassment, I finally raised the white flag.
“All right. When I return from the Mage Tower, I will formally propose to Essilly.”
Only then did His Excellency the Count’s expression soften.
“Good idea. If there is anything I can do to help in this regard, feel free to let me know. I’ll listen to whatever you ask for.”
“Yes. I will do that.”
Peace remains where goodwill agreements have passed. As if we had promised, the Count and I raised our teacups and savored the taste of the black tea.
Afterwards, when I let out a leisurely breath and put the teacup down, I heard a light knock.
“Your Excellency Count. The lady has come.”
“Are you here now? Please open the door.”
As soon as His Excellency finished his words, the door opened in both directions. Esily appeared in the midst of them and slowly walked towards us.
The beautiful blond hair of her, as if it had just been trimmed, and the blue iris that shines under the neat eyelashes naturally exude charm.
As she came closer, Seely put her hand on her chest and lightly bowed her head.
“Sir Theorard. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Do I need to post an apology? I could wait for hours for you.
I greeted Esily with a coy smile.
“Esley. I missed you.”
“Me too. It was to the point of sending calls every night.”
“Yes? Do you mean me?”
Sending the contact must have meant the location note. As far as I know, except for the first day I received the location note, Esily hadn’t sent me a message.
I asked cautiously, wondering if I was mistaken.
“Did you really send it to me?”
“Yes? To Sir Theorard, of course…….”
Esily’s words stopped in her reply. Esily hardened her complexion, as if she had guessed something, and bit her lower lip.
Naturally, His Excellency’s eyes met Esily’s face her. Conscious of her gaze at her, Eshili suddenly smiled awkwardly.
“I have something urgent to see. I’ll be back soon.”

In the wagon without Theo Rad, the elf with his arm on the ledge looked out the window sullenly.
The female knight, Marhan, was demonstrating swordsmanship to the soldiers with a spirited spirit. The cumulus clouds that fell sparsely over it flowed slowly and relentlessly.
‘I wish it would rain…….’
The sunny weather today was a bit irritating. When the day is clear, the mind is relaxed, and when the mind is relaxed, memories that you do not want to recall are played in your head.
—Heung. What do you mean you don’t like it? Aren’t you just a whore who likes things like this?
Theorard is immersed in the role, and the words he uttered pass through my mind. Even though I wanted to shake it off, it reminded me of it several times, and now I’m sick of it.
“A cheeky toy…….”
The elf muttered out of habit, half-closed his eyes. It’s a little less now, but every time Theorard’s selling resonated in my head, a piece of my heart ached quite a bit.
It’s just selling like usual, so why does my heart feel so full at the word prostitute?
‘…… I didn’t do this when I heard from Essilie.’
When Essilie Pelgarin has been using the word ‘prostitute’, I’m simply angry. It was because I hated it to the point where my teeth trembled when the cheeky ignorant Dan Myung-jong criticized him.
Okay. I was angry. Not sad
But why why did his heart hurt so much when he heard the same thing from Theorard? Why was my heart so broken that I couldn’t even get angry?
I’ve been thinking about it in many ways, but I couldn’t come up with an answer. It was as if a tangled ball of thread had been brought into the heart. I can’t figure out where to start solving.
‘It’s just a toy…….’
Since when did you start to have feelings for toys? Did I go crazy without even knowing it? It was really something to live for a long time.
‘Theorad Deharm.’
Calling the name of the person who is not present and knocking on the shelf. Then he recalled the memory of helping Theorard prepare for the lecture for a week.
I had no intention of helping with the preparation of the lecture from the beginning. If Theo Rad cried and blew and clung to him, then he thought of helping out with the lecture, pretending to be patronizing.
It’s a bit childish idea, but since he didn’t have the upper hand in sexual relations, it was because the idea that he should reign over Theorad’s head even in everyday life was at the bottom of it.
But she had heard Theo Rad say that she was a prostitute. His mind her went blank in an instant, and he showed tears like an idiot. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced the feeling of sadness.
At that time, he did n’t even think to catch up with his distracted mind her and said something stupid.
– Master…… Do you really think of me that way?
Even thinking about it now, her face her heats up. Theorard did not answer, and his non-answer made the elf even more miserable.
If I stayed still, I felt like I would cry without knowing, so I ran out of the room as if I was running away. After that, he wandered around the mansion, and later, feeling shame, he decided to help Theorard with his lecture.
It was because I decided that if I helped the lecture as if nothing was wrong, the shame inside would disappear.
However, the emotional core showed no sign of loosening up. Even though I know it’s a joke.
‘Dummy.’
The elf who blamed himself was self-deprecating. The words that came out in a situation that was nothing more than a role play couldn’t have been sincere. Theorard also said that she was a whore without meaning…….
Disbelief rears its head.
‘Then why didn’t you answer my question?’
It’s a dodol ticket again. In all likelihood, in all likelihood, what if Theorard thought of me as a whore?
After thinking for a while, the elf curled her toes. As the stomach cries, the color of the blood lowers.
‘I think I’m going to vomit.’
Feel bad. It wasn’t just bad, it was really bad.
Probably not. You will no longer struggle alone. When Theorard returns, he will ask again if what he said was true.
‘Theorard must be…….’
He won’t say anything bad. Thinking about it makes me feel more at ease.
The elf, who had calmed her breath by inhaling and exhaling slowly, looked out of her window. At the same time, I couldn’t help but frown at her.
“Hey.”
From her expensive earrings to her necklace to her luxurious dress her. A woman eager to show off that she is a daughter of a prestigious aristocratic family. Because there was an incomparable bitch who was secretly revealing her vulgar breasts.
“Why is that?”
She wanted to tell her to go away, but since her status her is a slave, she is called by a nobleman, so she cannot be ignored.
She Essilly lifted one of her books as her elf looked on coldly. It was a location note.
“Is that you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Just now, Sir Theorard said he never heard from me. Even though I contacted them from time to time.”
I hope it is because of that. The elf leaned against the back of the seat as if he was not interested. It was enough if I took off the pretense anyway.
“Do you think I blocked your Location Note? I don’t have any admin privileges.”
“Block?”
The problem is that Esily is not a talent to be passed over.
“Was there a blocking function in Location Note? But how do you know that? While talking about administrator rights.”
“That’s it…….”
I can’t think of anything to justify. The hesitant elf slowly looked away. It was because Esili’s blue eyes were shining sharply as if they could pierce her lungs.
‘I got caught….’
A small amount of despair arose in the elf’s emotionless face.
