Chapter 567 – 567. The New School
A young girl in a maid’s uniform often ran to Eun-hyeon and stood in front of him.
“Hello!”
Right away, the maid bowed her waist and greeted her energetically. Eunhyun naturally smiled at the look of the maid girl who looked very bright.
The same goes for Eleanor, who accepted the greeting together.
“Okay. It looks good.”
The maid girl who sent a strong message of gratitude to Eun-hyeon was the only survivor whom Eun-hyeon saved from the necromancer incident that took place in the Kingdom of Pernias earlier.
The situation at that time was that Marius saved a little girl who had been left alive on a whim and returned to Pernin, and Eleanor, who felt sorry for her situation, took her girl away.
A few years later, a young girl who suffered a lot as the incident became traumatic, is now smiling brightly and living in good health.
“I will guide you.”
“Okay. Please?”
Eleanor smiled and nodded her head as she looked at the young maid who had said she would go ahead and guide her.
Seeing the servants of the mansion smiling warmly at the sight of this maid girl, the youngest member of the current duke’s mansion, it was clear how much the girl was loved in this mansion.
“Whoa…”
Soon after, the maid stood in front of Abros’s room with Eunhyeon and Eleanor.
Even though she had been living here for two years, calling the duke, who was no different from the owner of this mansion and estate, still trembled even for the girl.
“Duke. Eleanor-nim and Eun-hyeon-nim have arrived.”
“Okay.”
When Avros’ gentle voice from her room gave her permission, the maid nodded to the two of them and left.
After giving her hand to her maid and giving her a small shake, Eleanor went into her father’s room with her Eun-hyeon.
“You’re here. Sit down.”
“Yes. Father.”
“Yes.”
Eun-hyeon, who was sitting at the table with Eleanor, praised the maid who guided them to Avros.
“It got a lot brighter.”
“Hmm. Recently, she herself said that the child would like to help her with her work as a servant of the mansion.”
Abros nodded her head in response, and the response was very mild.
He was a very blunt father in dealing with his son and wife, as well as his daughter, but as he got older, his expression and attitude became more docile.
“That child is getting a lot of love from servants these days.”
Eleanor smiled and briefly told Eun-hyeon the story of the girl he saved.
It seemed that the image of the girl standing up after overcoming the hardships on her back with a pitiful story resonated greatly in the hearts of the servants.
In addition, it seems that he is getting quite good marks for not smoking tips and treating other users with kindness and working hard.
“My mother likes it too, saying it seems like she has a new daughter these days.”
It is said that Eleanor’s mother, Runes, who got married before reaching adulthood, also likes the maid girl quite a bit and often makes her wait on her, so the girl’s future is bright.
The new maid, who hadn’t been in for a long time, seemed to be enjoying herself in the duke’s mansion and gradually establishing herself.
“You came to see me for a reason, right?”
Avros, who had been carrying on a little miscellaneous conversation, immediately got to the point.
His mild demeanor changed sharply when he entered the subject.
Eleanor, who came to see her mother, Lunes, or took the place of her brother Alex, who is busy preparing for Princess Yuria’s coronation as queen, came to find herself not alone, but with Eun-hyun. I saw right through that it was to ask for a favor.
In order to take responsibility for not properly cracking down on Ashton, his first son, he withdrew from all front lines and decided to retire unofficially. What business does he have?
Abros waited slowly for Eunhyun to open her mouth.
“Master… Adults…”
“Whoops.”
Seeing Eun-hyeon’s hesitant attitude for a moment, Eleanor burst out laughing at her.
It’s not that he finds Avros difficult, but this title of ‘artisan adult’ is a difficult word that Eunhyeon can’t quite stick to.
However, it was also a small joy for Eleanor to call her by that title through her efforts.
“Did you hear about the migration of the dwarves from Eleanor?”
“I heard you.”
Next to encountering a race called elves that existed only in books, the appearance of a race called dwarves was certainly surprising, and even more surprising was the fact that they willingly announced their intention to migrate to their territory.
That’s why the story was very impressive in Avros’s memory.
Living in harmony with a large number of different races in one place was not as easy as expected and caused many concerns, but Avros did not interfere in Alex and Eleanor’s acceptance of the proposal.
It was because he was hesitant to step out after stepping back from the front line.
Having unofficially decided to retire, Abros no longer had any real power, leaving only the succession of all titles, including the title of duke, to his son.
Eun-hyeon must also be aware of this situation.
Abros quietly waited for Eunhyeon to continue.
“We are going to build a school in the dukedom.”
“School?”
“Yes.”
“… What are you going to do?”
He had no intention of blocking or denying Eun-hyeon’s plan, but at least he needed to know what he was thinking and what kind of picture he was drawing.
“I have no intention of opposing your plan, but at least you know what the nobles of this country will think of it, right?”
“It won’t look good.”
Although all the nobles remaining in the present kingdom of Pernias either shy away from Eun-hyeon’s prestige or take a friendly stance towards him, Eun-hyeon’s plan to establish a school in Armitas is not a proposal that they will be happy with. .
Aether Royal School is like the backbone of Pernias Kingdom, which boasts a long history and tradition.
After the establishment of the kingdom of Pernias, many noble families entered and graduated from this school, producing key figures who constituted the country.
Now, it is no different than trying to keep a school in check that has become prestigious enough to accept international students from other countries.
Even if the substance was created to betray the nine-tailed fox, the object of love of the first king, Ortas, and use her remains, all the nobles of this country, who are mostly ignorant of the situation, would not be happy with the appearance of a new school.
“Father. The school we want to create is not a school that accepts nobles as students like Aether.”
“Then… Are you saying you want to accept commoners as students?”
Soon, Abros hardened his impression and faced Eunhyeon.
If it wasn’t a school that accepts aristocrats as students, would there be more targets besides commoners?
“You’re right.”
“… Hmm.”
Avros was lost in his thoughts.
Then there is no problem.
His concerns, which he thought might have been an attempt to keep Aether in check by accepting the sons of the nobles of the kingdom as students, were conveniently dismissed.
What Eunhyeon is trying to accept as students are ordinary commoner children in the current Armitas territory.
“… Are you planning to raise ordinary citizens as soldiers?”
Avros asked, hardening his face.
It is a fact that he knows that recently, Eun-hyeon is fighting against the undead, which are expanding day by day, and preparing for them in various ways.
So, what came to his mind was military reinforcement through the conscription of the people.
“No. Wrong.”
Abros let out a small sigh of relief at Eunhyeon’s answer, which immediately denied him by shaking his head.
Considering the worst-case scenario, there was nothing we could do about it, but even Abros was not happy about sending the people who didn’t want to fight to the battlefield.
“We will educate them.”
“Education?”
“Yes.”
That education does not refer to the kingdom’s history or etiquette, or the prestigious education that trains knights and magicians.
Eun-hyeon’s plan is to teach various professional skills, including basic calculations, agriculture, pharmacy, medicine, metallurgy, and building technology, and to nurture key personnel in the manor.
As for the field of metallurgy, it was for this reason that the Dwarves who excelled in the field were brought out to the ground and proposed to move to Armitas territory.
“But it is not easy. The intention itself is fresh and interesting, but there must be more than one thing to prepare.”
However, at that obvious point, Eleanor nodded and replied.
“We are already preparing to some extent in advance.”
Eleanor had already selected the site for the school, which was planned to be built according to Eun-hyeon’s plan, while securing a place for the dwarves to migrate, and had already selected some teachers to teach the children who would become students at the school.
Abros showed a slightly surprised reaction that things were progressing more smoothly than expected.
Most surprising is that the operation of the school is planned to be run entirely with the finances of the duke’s family.
“… The budget won’t be too tight.”
“That’s why I kept my pockets full.”
Considering the current population and financial situation, the Armitas territory easily beat Pernin, the capital of the kingdom.
In addition, since the migration of the dwarves will allow them to engage in more diverse businesses, their financial status will become richer, and as a way to further develop the territory by rolling these properties, Eun-hyeon aimed to build a school.
“Then what are you asking me to do?”
Although unofficially retired, the influence of Abros still remains externally.
It is also the same that the expectation that he would use that to become his shield and ask for a request to quell the resistance of the aristocrats was also missed.
He is already doing a lot of things except for himself, who does not have real power, but what the hell is he trying to propose by coming to him?
“Can’t your father take over the school?”
“… What?”
◆ ◆ ◆
“Huh? Okay?”
Returning home at night, Eun-hyeon lay down on the bed talking about the proposal she had made to Abros today.
“So did you accept it?”
“No. That’s why Eleanor is persuading.”
Avros hesitated to accept the offer.
Still blaming himself for not being able to properly guard his children and causing harm to many people, he avoided sitting in a position of any position.
Feeling sorry for that, Eleanor stayed behind in her mansion to persuade Abros.
“It’s a lot of trouble. My husband.”
Late at night, the time came when Eunhyeon could spend the night alone with Illyana, which was rare.
As before, Eleanor remained at the duke’s mansion to persuade Avros.
Lily returned to Armitas Territory after a long time and said that she would stay out at the nursery school today to solve the operation problem of the overcrowded nursery school.
In the case of Erin, she is currently staying up all night at the nine-tailed fox’s shrine.
In fact, the three wives made excuses for this and that, and each stayed out, but in fact, there was a different reason.
“They’re pretty obvious too.”
“I know.”
Eunhyun replied with a bitter smile as if she agreed with Illyana’s words.
The intention of the wives to make time for the two of them is very obvious with Illyana, who has been absent from the house due to various problems recently.
In the end, only Eunhyeon and Illyana were using the large bed she and her wives slept on, and they were enjoying themselves.
“It’s already time like this.”
Eunhyun touched Illyana’s stomach and fell in love with her.
The change of her wife makes the tumult in her heart more complicated.
Illyana grabbed her hand that was caressing her own abdomen and led her to hug him.
“I am now in a stable phase. Therefore…”
Eun-hyeon knows what she wants.
