Chapter 134 – Episode 133. Where Are You Short?
“Does it make sense to have four blessings on one body?”
“But wasn’t Astrid like that too?”
The 12 signs of the zodiac, in Berasien’s memory, 4 of those 12 patterns were definitely shining orange.
The four blessings that Astain had collected were shining while sealed.
All the patterns that had been like that were now showing no light as the light had faded.
“I think Astrid is an exception. Because he really, really, coincidentally got two.”
‘Isn’t it because I’m in?’
One blessing for each soul.
Then, since Astrid’s body now has two souls, wouldn’t that be why she was able to have two blessings?
It was a reasonable question at first glance.
Duplicate grant of divine protection, which was said to have never been reported so far.
Didn’t Astrid proudly do such an unprecedented thing?
【That’s not it. Maybe I’m just a real coincidence.]
‘Why? Do you have grounds for certainty?’
【Yes, of course. It was around the time I started to walk that the divine protection dwelled on me. You are in my body raw. It’s been less than a year since I did it.]
‘… Hey, you’re a parasite. There’s no need to focus on that.’
【I like it. Joy!】
It seemed that he liked what he teased Ebebeb earlier.
“Was that possible… “
“It won’t be possible. Astrid here also has two, so the difference between naturally endowed and randomly acquired isn’t it?”
Leopold and Berassien were standing on top of the camp and talking with serious faces.
“… Then, do you think it would be better to go to the academy quickly?”
It was a bit sudden.
I was planning to go to the academy, but as soon as I saw this, it sounded like I had to go to the academy as Astein’s destination was the academy.
“What… ?”
“That’s right, one of Astain’s goals is to destroy the academy.”
“… Collapse of the academy?”
“That’s what… No, don’t you guys think!? If targeting the academy attended by the Imperial Crown Prince and Crown Princess is a villain, isn’t it a natural flow of consciousness?!”
Vera Sien, who was trying to explain something, suddenly frowned at her and screamed.
“Wow, Crown Princess… “
Asti’s face turned red.
Before I knew it, her fingers were wiggling.
And Vera Shien looked at her with her ridiculous face.
“No, never mind that! Anyway, Leopold! You will understand!”
“The crown prince and the crown princess are here, and she has no reason to aim for the academy… No, is it a plan to lower the defense power of the empire by attacking the academy?”
“Y-yes!”
“Hmm… Is that so, is that so.”
【Wait, let’s stop by the mansion for a while.】
“Wait, I’ll stop by the mansion and go.”
“Why?”
According to Veracien, Astain went to the academy.
I don’t know what kind of divine protection she ate and she went to the academy, but I thought it was right to go to the academy right now, but Astrid’s words were somewhat surprising.
“Astrid, what do you mean you have to go to the mansion?”
Asking Astrid would be more accurate than asking Asti.
Because Astrid’s judgment was accurate in this situation.
“Whoa, whoa. It’s hard to get used to.”
“What is it, does it change as Leopold calls it? Interesting? Does it look fun? What?”
Leopold asked Astrid, trying hard not to notice Vera Shien, who was shining in her eyes as if he had found something interesting again.
“Do you have any other reason to return to the mansion, Astrid?”
“There is. He thought he had seen it a lot somewhere, but he seemed to be thinking about it. I guess I’ll have to look for it.”
Astrid said with her eyes shining.
I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere.
Astein.
The narrow eyes that give that bizarre feeling.
Around that time when he hadn’t been able to talk to Asti yet, from the moment he saw Astain for the first time, he thought it was the energy he felt a lot from somewhere.
His appearance was obviously a face he had never seen before.
If it was those narrow eyes, if it had those characteristics, it would have been a look that I would have remembered if I had seen it somewhere, but it wasn’t.
However, the energy I felt from Astain was clearly familiar.
He had a lot of energy, as if he had seen, felt, and experienced a lot.
But I couldn’t quite remember.
It’s not easy to revive someone’s memory with energy alone, so Astrid had to think about it for a few days before finally getting rid of it.
However, now that I have come and looked closely at these patterns, I have noticed something.
*
In the carriage back to the mansion.
Astrid was lost in thought.
Those patterns, I clearly remember seeing them.
I remember seeing it among the notes crammed into the secret base in his room.
If you look through those notes, you might be able to figure out the true identity of Astain—
Such a thought.
“By the way, Astrid.”
“Yes yes?”
Astrid suddenly came to her senses at the sudden sound of Leopold’s voice while she was lost in thought and looked at Leopold.
It’s the way back to the carriage, and since it’s going back the way it came, it will take quite some time.
But more than that, Leopold was looking at Astrid with affection in his eyes.
“Didn’t you never want to come to the academy in the past? I know the reason why you came back, but what was the reason you never wanted to come until then?”
Astrid thought.
Although he was ridiculed when he told Asti about it, maybe it would be a little different if he said it to Leopold himself, to that person himself.
In fact, if you think about it, it might be a really perfect plan.
Asti laughed at it, but maybe that wishful cat was an intention to push away the real Astrid and take the crown princess position herself.
No.
Surely it must have been!
Undoubtedly!
It must have been a wicked and sinister plan to somehow block the plan because he had made a plan that was too perfect, and in the meantime, to buy a lot of goodwill from his highness and establish himself as a royal family.
“Hmm? Are you having trouble talking?”
“Oh, no. It’s not like that. Actually.”
“Actually?”
“What, did you mean not to come to the academy?”
Vera Shien, who had been sitting in the carriage as if bored, shifted back to sit, her eyes twinkling, as if she was interested.
Vera Shien is also very interested in the story she is about to tell.
There is no guarantee that in her life, which has always been a series of boredom and boredom, there will be more interesting kids like the couple in front of her.
At least this one is a lot more fun than that idiot Astain who always makes plans and makes strange noises and then fails and blames Veracien!
“Well, actually I had a plan. I didn’t have to go to the academy to do that… ”
Astrid’s plan started like that.
The beginning was more exciting than I thought.
For that reason, Leopold and Veracien sat back with a rather excited look on their faces and listened to Astrid’s story.
“Yeah, so what was the plan for not going to the academy?”
“Eh, so. Once you enter the academy, dating activities inside are absolutely impossible.”
“Yes. Actually, that’s why I’m about to drop out of the academy as well.”
“Eh, why!? Then I will quit too!”
“Please be quiet. You are talking.”
“That, yes. Keep listening.”
At some point, the atmosphere inside the carriage was quite serious.
Leopold felt like his expectations were getting higher and higher.
Who is astrid
He was called the white leopard of the snowfield and was an undefeated general.
How many northern barbarians perished under her great sword?
From the time she grew up, she picked up a greatsword before books,
A master of reversal who learned to arranging flowers first than arranging flowers.
What kind of plan will her plan be?
Leopold could not hide her rising expectations.
“That’s why dating activities are impossible. If I followed Her Highness and entered the academy together, we wouldn’t be able to date.”
“So it is! It is indeed Astrid!”
Still, the question remains as to why they entered the church together, but thanks to the contract Asti made, Leopold has no doubts.
“So, what were you thinking about?”
“The Grand Duke’s mansion in Myterien is also in the capital, right? The northern barbarians, ah… Actually, there is no problem if there is a bean or Ashley. I was thinking of coming down to the capital.”
“Hoo. So?”
It must be some great plan.
What were you thinking about doing after this?
“I visit Her Highness every weekend, until you graduate and are commissioned. And even after he was commissioned, I tried to appeal to him as an ideal wise mother by visiting me regularly!”
The smile faded from Leopold’s face.
The smile also disappears from Berashien’s face.
Is this the plan
“… Is that the end?”
“Yes. I think it was the perfect plan. I was ruined thanks to someone. I wish I had done that more than now… “
“That… No no… Done. Okay. Joe, that was a good plan. Okay. It seems that not doing it was also a good choice.”
If it had been done honestly, Astrid would have already rushed in a straight line to break up the marriage without even recognizing each other’s intentions.
Inside, perhaps the engagement had already changed to one of the other princesses of meritorious subjects, such as Violet or Emily, or Akemilla, whose memory was vague now.
But he didn’t have to say anything, so Leopold didn’t say anything.
“… Where are you missing?”
However, Berasien was not a patient person.
