Chapter 6 – Episode 6. Astrid Is Dumbfounded
Astrid was originally a reserve.
I mean she went to the army.
“This again… To do it again.”
Training to maintain combat power against hot weather, training to maintain combat power against cold weather… It sounds like this, but in reality, it’s just guerrilla training, isn’t it cold weather training?
In terms of having to do this again, Astrid really seriously thought about whether it would be better to just give up everything and quietly live as the Crown Princess and find a way to return to the original world.
‘No, no. As for the novel… Once it gets stuck, the taste goes away… ‘
Hearts form in her eyes, and when she sees the descriptions she couldn’t go back to… It’s scary too.
It’s impossible.
No matter how much you think about it.
What would you do if your body was a woman, but your mind was a man.
I couldn’t even stand it.
No, it’s not a matter of being willing or not.
Absolutely not.
That it is impossible
You have served in the army twice, and if you have cancer, you have to have a baby.
Are you crazy
“I am a man. Even if the body is a woman, it is a man. I mean a man A man is put under a man? It’s something that can never happen. Okay… Training as an executive is different. It will be fine.”
If you think about it, maybe it was because you were a soldier that you had a hard time during training.
The executives always sucked honey.
‘Let’s see.’
If you look at the entrance guide, you will be treated like an apprentice knight at the same time as admission.
And upon graduating, he is formally knighted…
Anyway, even though he was an apprentice knight, since he was a knight, he was definitely not an ordinary soldier.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay if I started as an executive?’
Astrid’s white fingers began to read through the entry guide carefully, one by one.
I’m glad I can read the text. There were no problems with reading, speaking, writing and listening.
“I guess I could count on driving a stake… ?”
You think you went to the sergeant.
A noncommissioned officer is going to become a sergeant after living as a soldier.
Let’s think so.

Two days passed.
Early in the morning on the day with only two days left before departure for the academy, a jockey came running to announce the return of the homeowner, Wolfgang.
It was only five days before the return, so everyone in the mansion rushed out and lined up on either side of the mansion with the main gate in between, welcoming the homeowner’s return.
“Father, have you been?”
And in the middle, Astrid came out in a red dress and took the place of the hostess of the vacant Grand Duchy.
She lightly pressed her chest with her left hand and lightly lifted the hem of her skirt with her right hand and bowed deeply, welcoming the return of the head of the family who had defeated the foreign invasion.
“Ah… It’s not Huh Huh. Yes, I went Did anything happen?”
“Yes. Will there be anything special? Nothing happened, and I was almost ready to go to the academy.”
“Is that so?”
From Wolfgang’s point of view, it seemed that he wanted to be called dad, but he couldn’t bear it because there were so many people around him.
Her dark eyes turned to Astrid, full of her affection for her daughter.
Even though his whole body was covered in blood, Wolfgang’s face as he looked at Astrid was full of affection for his daughter.
The eyes of a father looking at his child.
Those soft, warm eyes.
Astrid thought after a moment of hesitation.
‘Wouldn’t it be nice to try the service at this point?’
“Father, could you lower your ears here for a moment?”
“Hmm? What’s wrong with your ears?”
In the rear, the soldiers were now moving to the parade ground where the victory ceremony was to take place.
Because they had suffered, other servants received them and moved them to the barracks instead, and the soldiers finally walked to the parade ground where the victory ceremony was to be held with a relaxed mind and body.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Yeah, what happened? If it’s something important… “
“No, because it is fine. Listen for a moment.”
Wolfgang, who was tall enough for Astrid to look up, bent down and put his ear close to Astrid’s mouth.
This takes a bit of mental preparation.
“Good work, Dad.”
Ugh. Unlike Astrid, whose chicken meat sprouted, Wolfgang didn’t show any signs of it, but he seemed very satisfied with the smile on his face.
‘I’m glad.’
“Okay, then come in. It’s cold. I won’t go in soon either.”
“Yes.”
However, Astrid did not enter the mansion right away.
Ashley stood right behind Wolfgang, looking expectant, like a bear staring at a salmon basket full of salmon.
“Sister, what do I have?”
It’s as big as a bear, but at times like this, it’s like a child.
“Great job. Ashley.”
“… Is it over?”
“It’s over, what more do you need?”
“Ah, I thought you’d be kind.”
“Don’t climb up, Ashley.”
Ashley, whose mouth is not suitable for her size.
“… You worked hard, my brother.”
However, when Astrid approached and patted her waist, Ashley also smiled so brightly that her big cut was twitching.
“Sister, it’s cold, so come in. It’s a big deal if you catch a cold.”
“Have I ever caught a cold or something?”
‘There have been times when I’ve had bigger problems.’
It’s something I can’t even say out loud.

“Okay, are you ready?”
The wheat-brown bread tore apart in Wolfgang’s grasp and rose to the surface of the white steam.
Thanks to the well-inflated roast, the white flesh was torn into long pieces, and Wolfgang dipped a piece into the corn soup and took a bite, then dipped the steak with his fork with his other hand.
Wolfgang asked Astrid as he chewed on a steak dripping with greasy broth, topped with a brown sauce of overcooked onions and simmered down with caramel.
“Yes. Thanks to my nanny for taking good care of me.”
Astrid sliced the steak while controlling the force so that the knife would not make the sound of scraping the plate—- but rather, the knife would not cut through the plate to the table.
Sprinkle very little pepper on top of the sauce and take a bite as it is.
“The day after tomorrow? Sister.”
Ashley also took a bite from the side.
Ashley took a handful of well-marinated salad and put it on Astrid’s plate, then picked up a piece of Astrid’s sliced steak and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Ashley, I said you should eat salad too.”
“Ah, a guy like me can’t get enough energy if he eats something like salad.”
“You really… “
‘I like meat too.’
But for some reason this body eats less.
Since I was full after eating only a little bit, I couldn’t even finish this steak anyway, so Astrid took two pieces of the cut steak and put it on Ashley’s plate.
“Your father won’t go with you either.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Thinking about that makes my head hurt again.
The call came yesterday.
I wondered what kind of whim this was, but if it had been a phone call or messenger, I would have said that I didn’t need it right away.
‘Leopold, why did that skinny bastard never do something like that again… !’
A message from Leopold, the Crown Prince, that he would personally pick him up.
The handwriting on the letter was crooked, and it was clear that he hadn’t wanted to come too much.
It took a week to get here from the capital, so if this letter arrived yesterday, it must have already been in full swing.
Perhaps Kreuz did it.
Obviously, I could have refused, but since the person who ordered it was the emperor, I couldn’t have refused.
“He said that His Highness Leopold would come to meet him.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. A letter arrived yesterday.”
“If you do, you must have already come close.”
“I guess so.”
“But why do you look so bad? Aren’t you on good terms with Leopold now?”
‘Where are you looking?!’
This wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t declared going to the academy.
It wouldn’t have happened if he had just quietly kept his mouth shut on the spot, and even if he had checked the crown prince’s academy a bit more.
It’s too late for those who regretted coming now.
“Still, since you say you’re going to the academy, I feel relieved. If it’s you, it’s a given that you’ve earned the title of mid-long term knight. Since you are also a long-term knight, isn’t it the perfect condition for you to inherit this family? This father is reassuring. Furthermore… “
Yum, Wolfgang took a bite of the smoked meat sandwich next to him and drank a beer.
“If you don’t get along with Leopold, we can’t force her to marry you.”
Astrid thought.
‘Let’s cancel the academy right now.’
There was a simple solution, but you didn’t know it.
I hate Leopold, I really hate it, are you going to turn my life into hell if I become a couple with him?
“I should have looked for a son-in-law to take her instead. Well, the Ashley guy over there.”
Astrid thought again.
‘Let’s go to the academy.’
It seems that there was no option at all to become a grand duke and live unmarried.
If you stay still, it’s Leopold, if you break up, it’s Ashley.
When asked which of the two was better, she had the option of biting her tongue and dying. Astrid made up her mind again that she would definitely go to the academy and find a way to return to her original world during the four years.
4 years.
4 years left.
In it, she must find a way back to her original world.
‘There is no Amtar. Never. My life is noman Calm down, Astrid… !’
