Chapter 83
Hamzzi.
No, it is an undeniable fact that the academy became very pleasant as soon as he accompanied Esmuier. If the nickname of the iron-blooded princess was a joke, the usual actions students could take were just greetings.
No one came close to me. It doesn’t even approach within a certain radius as if it had sprayed some pesticide.
“I didn’t insist on accompanying you for nothing.”
As Esmuer joined in earnest, Old Zeke decided to avoid accompanying us for a while. The reason was that the family relationship of the princesses was not in a very good shape, even at the academy.
As a result, inevitably, even Ragnis, who was visiting for the purpose of the hero, Zeke, separated from me and acted with Zeke, resulting in an extraordinary division of labor.
When Esmuer informed him, Ragnis looked like someone who had just heard that the sky would fall tomorrow, but in the end, he gnashed his teeth and decided to move with the warriors.
After lunchtime, which always came as time went by, we enjoyed a normal walk after having a meal with learning.
To be honest, I wondered if an escort would be unnecessary, but Esmuer crossed his arms as if it were natural, and I decided not to say much, praying that her shoulder muscles would be well.
“The entourage is the 1st princess, and the Marquis himself maintains a relationship with the hero, right? It’s a golden opportunity that other envoys would want to get but couldn’t get, but the Marquis doesn’t seem to like it.”
Indeed, it was, but… for some reason, Esmuer’s tone was more like playing pranks on Ragnis rather than feeling like he really didn’t understand. Did Ragnis disintegrate because of that attitude?
Still, even though the kid is famous and noble, he probably wouldn’t be able to control his emotions that much. It’s really unknowable.
“Anyway. It’s a good situation for everyone, so there’s nothing to worry about. It’s the first time I’ve experienced something like this, but it’s pretty good.”
Esmuer seemed to be smiling, but I had no choice but to think differently.
only 18 years old Because he is a genius, he skipped the academy and entered the political world, fighting to consolidate the imperial power for four years. Since the foundation for it must have been established a long time ago, it was clear that he would have fought fiercely and stayed tense even in the midst of abundance.
Didn’t he already say that even simple tasks make him nauseous to say that he solved everything easily because he was a genius? Seeing her enjoying herself now, even though she was a genius, she was not devoid of emotions.
Just as I run non-stop for revenge, she also runs non-stop to become emperor.
Thinking like that, I can’t help but think that it’s amazing. Even I wouldn’t have been able to live like that if it wasn’t for the form of reincarnation.
“Aren’t you tired of your job?”
I brought up the topic of work because I couldn’t openly ask if the blood-drying political battle to become an emperor was difficult. Then Esmuer, who looked at me for a moment with a subtle smile, replied as if it was nothing special.
“There is nothing in the world that is not difficult. If you have good abilities, it may be a little less difficult… but eventually, things that match your ability will happen.”
“With Esmuer’s ability, can’t he avoid hard work?”
How far will you understand and accept my question? I’m not a genius so I don’t know. I just ask questions and wait for answers, just like casual chatter during our time together anyway.
“The next emperor does not avoid. Only get through.”
“No. That’s the next Emperor. You have to tell me how Esmuer is.”
‘How dare you say that you can’t be the vessel of the next emperor! Bring me the guillotine!’ I could feel a slight strain in my arms, but I didn’t feel much of it because it was the strength coming from Esmuer’s small body.
“Well. I’ve never thought about it until now. She’s an open princess, and has enough abilities to become the next emperor. In fact, isn’t she a genius with abilities that match the emperor’s far better than her other siblings?”
If I didn’t know, I would have had a bad night because I was a cheeky kid, but since I’ve already established myself as a hamster, words like that are so cute.
The killing point is that Esmuye, who actually speaks those words, is infinitely sincere and that it is also true.
“I thought it would be like that in the future… but, it seems like it’s a little worrying.”
Esmuet twisted his body and blushed, as if he was ashamed of having thought about it.
After all, he’s still a kid. It’s natural to worry like that, but it’s just that we’re facing a situation that shouldn’t be taken for granted.
In my previous life, I even pretended to lead a normal life, so I’m holding on. It is the same everywhere that it is never easy to endlessly fight, train, and prepare for the future year after year.
“Esmuer.”
“Why, why are you calling me?”
Once the conclusion was reached, action was swift.
“Esmuer is, after all, a student under the academy’s discipline, and I am also here, similar to the form of an observer, but in the end, isn’t it the status of a temporary student?”
“yes?”
In order to hear a definite answer from her nodded as if she was puzzled by something, I asked again while making direct eye contact with my lower back slightly.
“In other words. Until the day I go back to Ethiel, Esmu and I are the same student, right?”
“That, that, that, yes.”
Memo…Small animals…Hamsters…I can’t stand being close to them because I’m too scared…
“Then, of course, you have to do something that can only be done at this moment to fully enjoy your status as a student, right? ”
“What the hell are you trying to do by trying to get her to agree and wait? It’s something that can only be done now…
I don’t know what he was thinking that made his face turn red as if it was about to explode, but the answer was fixed.
I just picked up Esmuer and sat it on my shoulder. Unable to accept the sudden change of circumstances, Esmuer sat on my shoulder and stunned me for a few seconds before reacting normally.
“Huhhh?! What, what are you doing!”
I answered without hesitation in order to calm Esmuer, who was holding my head as if he was frightened, even though he was not only properly balanced but also holding his hand just in case.
“Truancy!”
“….radish…?”
truancy. self-retirement. Polka dot.
Actions that only students can do.
Isn’t that the most student-like behavior?
“Let’s go play!”
“That’s so…hhh! Run, don’t run! Don’t run!”
There’s no way. Going like this to the mansion.
◈
“Dae, what the hell did you do?”
The one who greeted me at the mansion, where I had run with all my might, was Lenisa, who was shocked by her jaw dropping out. Her gaze was directly on Esmuer, who was sitting on my shoulder and still hugging my head.
hmm. Perhaps because she was a knight, she must have basically memorized the face of the imperial princess.
“Now, Tuesday, Tuesday, lead the princess, lead…!”
“It’s just part of the job, Lenisa. Therefore, call the ladies-in-waiting and pick out some plain clothes for the princess to wear.”
“It’s business. I see.”
What is that sister afraid of?
At just one word, the person who was shocked and about to mention the abduction disappeared in an instant, leaving only the extremely calm and businesslike knight Lenissa.
And Esmuer naturally followed Lenisa and disappeared, as if he had made an appointment with me. hmm. To be honest, I thought I was just embarrassed and asked for an explanation, but it’s surprising. Isn’t the trust that a man can give me is truly frightening?
The reason I came here was simple. The black-and-purple dress Esmuer is wearing is filthy expensive and you can’t help but notice it.
In this world, black purple is a dye that is so damn hard to find, so even a single handkerchief dyed black purple can make you a super celebrity in the social world.
But did you make a dress out of it? Even the princess of Ithiel is politically beaten for being excessively extravagant. Already, that was a symbol of power that he could wear because he was a descendant of the imperial family.
How can you go out wearing something like that?
Of course, my current outfit was a knight’s uniform from the Levien family, like Lenisa, and I also took out the everyday clothes I had never worn before, and wore only my wallet and longsword at my waist. Then, while asking the servants he encountered, he picked up the stories of the three-day imperial sightseeing tour and began to make a specific plan to play.
The wait wasn’t too long.
“Eh, Eldmia. It’s ready.”
Although his beauty and white hair were bound to stand out, Esmuer, who was infinitely more modest in his attire, appeared.
In modern society, it would have been a level where people would be criticized for having a one-dimensional idea, asking if a world-class beautiful girl could become a neighborhood woman just because she was barely wearing ordinary clothes, but that’s enough here.
Above all, I want to applaud the person who skillfully co-ordinated the outfits that fit well without looking too young, even though Esmuer, who is exceptionally petite, is the target. If you have that sense, wouldn’t it be okay to open a clothing store?
I approached with a satisfied smile, picked up Esmuer again, and placed it on my shoulder.
I didn’t lift it that fast this time, but Esmuer, who rather accepted my hand without resistance, opened his mouth hesitantly while sitting on my shoulder.
“Kko, do you really have to go like this?”
“No matter how much I go to the city after truant, I can’t make the princess walk.”
“Eh, this seems rather problematic for the princess’s dignity…” ”
That’s good. Who would dare to imagine that the princess would wear plain clothes and sit on her shoulder while walking down the street?”
I have to do something unimaginable as a princess to get less attention. I answered confidently as I walked out the door of the mansion.
“Now. From now on, I’m going to go to Eldmia, an adventurer in the kingdom of Ethiel. Esmue, you’re a girl from the neighborhood who became friends with me. I came out to play with you with the money I earned after completing the request.”
“Eh, Eldmia? It’s you now…?”
“Are you ready to take a break while experiencing a full-fledged commoner’s experience, Eshe?”
When I looked at Esmuer on the shoulder and asked, she dazed for a long time with her eyes wide open and her mouth open.
“Yes, it is done.”
As expected, the princess was quick to understand.
This reminds me of when Ragnis and Ogwen were on tour.
