Chapter 188 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
As Lorna continued speaking, her previous friendly demeanor was overshadowed by her speaking in a rather overbearing voice.
“I heard that in the past, he may have been a member of the grand dukedom, but now he has been expelled from the grand dukedom and is not guaranteed any title, so in short, he is a commoner?”
“Commons…”
In response to Rona’s remark, Eugene said that although he may be a commoner in terms of social status, he thought of his lover’s title and muttered that word with the meaning of ‘Am I a commoner?’
However, perhaps interpreting the murmur differently, Lorna brings her face closer to Eugene and whispers to him in an alluring voice.
“Do you think it would be okay for you, such a commoner, to keep rejecting me so sharply when I ask you to do so in such a low manner? “I may not be as good as the Grand Duchy of Zenon, but I am the second daughter of the Count.”
I don’t know if it was in the past, but now that Eugene has been expelled from the grand duchy and has become a commoner, do you really think he can get away with just ignoring the words of himself, a nobleman? A statement with the meaning of a threat.
Even within the academy, by order of the imperial family, everyone, even the imperial family, has equal status with other students.
This was a system to prevent talented people from failing to grow properly due to differences in status within the academy.
Therefore, even though Eugene, who is now a commoner, and Rona, who is now a noble, were just the same students within the academy.
In other words, it was true that this kind of threat would not work. However, being of the same status within the Academy is different outside of the Academy.
Therefore, although it is not possible to openly discriminate based on status, the original status of each student cannot be completely ignored.
Even if you can’t openly bully within the academy, things like bullying a student’s family outside, or bullying someone in a place where the professors can’t see, can easily happen.
In other words, it is not a crime if you do not get caught.
In fact, in the original game, Nefty, who fell in love with the daughter of the Marquis Wilhelm, was harassed in that way, and in the worst case, her life was threatened by an assassin dispatched by the marquis.
In other words, despite its appearance, the threat from Lorna, the second daughter of Count René, one of the count families of which there are only 30 in the empire, could originally be said to be an effective threat.
Even in the original work, if the main character were to lose the title of saint by taking a route other than that of a power user, she showed that she would not be able to calmly ignore Lorna’s threats like she does now.
… It was not for nothing that Geumtaegya was a villain who appeared in the romance part between the main character and the heroines in the original work.
He is a villain because he has the ability to NTR the main character and go straight to the bad ending.
As someone who literally reversed the gender of the Golden Sun of the Earth, he had a decent appearance and a good family name.
As can be seen from the fact that he was in the A class of the combat department, he was also quite talented in other abilities.
The story is that Geumtae-gya, Lorna Rene, is a character who would have barely made it into the ranks of sub-heroines if her values about the opposite sex had been intact.
… Among players who actually played the original game, some people said that Lorna Rene was their favorite character, as she had a charm that could not be found in other heroines, depending on her taste.
Some even said that they would rehabilitate Lorna and make her look only at herself, and that they would rehabilitate her playboy and make her pure love.
To that extent, Lorna Rene is contrary to the appearance of Geumtaegya, or rather, in a sense, should it be said to match her appearance?
Anyway, she was said to be a woman with a strong background and lacking in nothing. She did, so she could go around hitting on men all she wanted.
And since she is that kind of woman, even if her opponent was Yeongsik of the Grand Duke’s family, she is confident that she can beat him, and in order to establish a contact with Eugene, she uses her identity to semi-threaten him. But…
“Are you a traitor?”
Unfortunately, the person she threatened was none other than Eugene.
I don’t know his current strength, but in the past, when he was living on Earth, Jeol Yu-jin had the strength to stand up to a marquis or a duke, let alone a count, and not be confident of losing.
Moreover, even now that he is recovering his status, he has a monster-like wife who is stronger than he was in the past.
Threatening against such a person with his family name? There was no way it would work.
Rather, do you want to see this bitch and even her family ruined by her wife? In response to this question, he unconsciously expressed his doubts about her mental state.
“… Phew, puhahaha! It’s fun! “Did you really think what I said was a lie?”
And Lorna, who couldn’t possibly understand the meaning behind Eugene’s question, burst into laughter as if she was interpreting Eugene’s reaction in a different way, as if she genuinely liked him even more.
Haha! … Or are you just looking down on our Count René family?”
In addition, right after that, Lorna began to continue her words while looking at Eugene in a voice that felt a little harsh.
“That’s good. This is indeed the pride of the eldest son of a grand duke. … “I don’t know how long that pride will be able to protect you.”
Then, Eugene once again spoke with sincerity to Lorna, who sounded a little angry, as if her friendliness was just an act, but at the same time, her voice was full of sticky desire.
“Is this bitch really crazy?”
“Cook cluck cluck, you’re really funny.”
And how did she interpret Eugene’s 100% sincere remark? It was when Eugene was shaking his head at the sight of Lorna smiling and talking again as if she liked him.
“Hey, I’ve been listening to you since a while ago, and you’re saying something that’s quite difficult to listen to, isn’t it?”
A voice suddenly heard from behind Rona.
Rona looked behind her in confusion at the voice that literally made her jade beads roll, and even strangers could tell that she had not neglected the slightest effort in taking care of her neck.
“… Hehe, are you sure?”
And when she looked behind her like that, she saw a face that was unfamiliar to her, but she knew it well, and she made an expression of interest.
Another female student faced Rona’s face with that expression. … The girl who, for some reason, was unable to arrive at the classroom until after the start time for class A-4’s orientation, opened her mouth.
“Because he is someone I have benefited from. “No matter how high-ranking a noble he is, I couldn’t just pass by him after seeing him threaten me with his status like that, so I intervened.”
“Favor? “You mean that handsome idol?”
At the remark the girl made, Lorna looked curious as to what the relationship between her and Eugene was, and Eugene… And they took turns looking at Nefty, a famous idol who had just arrived.
Is this famous idol by any chance the girlfriend you were talking about? Eugene ignored Rona’s gaze, which contained a question.
Instead, Eugene, who knew from her presence that she had just arrived in her classroom, speaks to Petit.
“It looks like you were able to receive protection safely, so why didn’t you just rest today? “Something like that happened.”
“Hehe, thank you for your concern, but I was only under your protection and I didn’t get hurt or get tired in any way. “It’s like your first class after entering the academy, but you can’t miss class no matter how much it is during orientation.”
Eugene’s remark was as if he was acquainted with the famous idol, Nefty.
And just like that, the sight of the two people calmly responding to Eugene’s remarks made Rona, as well as other students in her class, whisper.
“Wow, are you in the same class as that Nefty?”
“But those two people knew each other?”
“Ugh… ! After all, to get to know a pretty boy like that, you have to be at least a top-tier idol…? … !”
“I’m jealous, Nefty… ! Seriously, we’re not dating or anything, are we?!”
And unlike when most of the whispers were about Earth, it’s not that he’s jealous of the fact that he’s an acquaintance of a pretty girl the size of Nefty.
Eugene’s expression almost became complicated for a moment at that fact.
Even though she is a famous idol for a role that is not hers, it was difficult for Eugene to get used to the whispers that she was jealous of Nefty, who was also from Earth.
That’s why Eugene focused his eyes on Nefty, trying hard to ignore the sounds coming from around him.
“Protect? “What are you talking about?”
And when Eugene focuses his attention on Nefty and brings up her story that only they know, Lorna asks Lorna as if she is a little uncomfortable.
In response to Lorna’s question, Petite grinned and spoke as if she had gained the upper hand through a connection with Eugene that she didn’t know about.
“I don’t think there’s any reason for me to explain it to you, as the professor in charge of this class will understand it a little later when he comes to visit.”
“Hey… , She is quite gutsy for being a famous idol. No matter how famous she is, she is still a commoner. Even according to rumors, you… “I heard you’re in a relationship with the marquis’ daughter?”
Was it really strange that Nefty, a commoner, was talking to her as an equal, and that she was also acquainted with Eugene, the prey she had already identified?
Rona immediately pointed out her status and the biggest problem that Nefty is currently facing, and she said that she meant to distinguish between what to do and what not to do.
“Hehe, it’s not wrong, but what does that have to do with this situation? As I said just before, I only intervened because I couldn’t stand by and watch the person I was indebted to be in trouble. Grace is repaid with grace. It is a benevolence and duty that all people should have. “My status, much less the situation I’m in right now, wouldn’t have any meaning here, right?”
This academy is even officially a place where it is recognized by the authority of the imperial family that there is no difference in status within the academy, even among the imperial family.
Even if it was just an official story and the unofficial reality was quite different, something that was public was not public for nothing.
In other words, the side that does not differentiate between statuses is superior when it comes to justification. Even though Stral Zenon was the eldest son of the Grand Duchy, he did not collude with the Demon King’s army for no reason.
It may be true in the shadows, but it is said that in the sun, it was difficult to control the main character even with the authority of the archduke within the academy, so he tried to borrow the power of the shadows.
“Hey… “You have a lot of guts, don’t you?”
“Then the person who brings up their status within the academy is a nobleman who is quite unusual?”
Jijijijijijiji!!!
For that reason, because of the favor she received from Eugene just a few hours ago and because it was a sight she couldn’t just ignore due to her personality, Nefty confronts Rona with a recognized cause behind her back.
And no matter how famous she is as an idol, Rona glares at her with a smile filled with displeasure and cruelty at the fact that her commoner subjects are confronting her noble self.
The students around them were whispering again at the sight of the two female students colliding and giving the illusion of lightning.
“Wow… “Is that the kind of scene where women fight over a handsome man who only appears in stories?”
“This is my first time seeing it in person…”
“Still, it’s acceptable to growl like that just to have a boy that handsome.”
“… “Can I join too?”
“Arthur, you can fight like that because you are a famous idol with the daughter of a count family. Are you a bitch to get into that?”
“Hey, but I’m also a class A student at the academy.”
“Is there anyone here who isn’t a Class A student?”
From the perspective of this world, the situation can be said to be a scene straight out of a romance comic.
