Academy Munchkin Enslaved

33 – Have My Daughter

Lorraine Dearheart.

She was the eldest daughter of the Dearheart family, and at the same time the only child of the Duke of Dearheart.

The status that the Dearheart family magically has on the continent is absolute.

Normally, the tribe of wizards creates a force in the form of a magic tower, regardless of their origin, and the institution called the magic tower is an independent institution that does not belong to any country.

Therefore, the fact that it has been boasting its magical status for such a long time under the name of the ‘family’ already means that its value is equal to or higher than that of the mage towers.

The reason for this is, of course, the red gene of the Dearheart family and the high level of home education that has been passed down since ancient times.

The current Duke of Dearheart is also one of the wizards who have reached the 6th tier with only 7 people on the continent following his achievements.

And Lorraine also had to follow the achievements of her ancestors, including her father, to reach the 6th rank.

If Lorraine did not reach the absolute achievement of the 6th hierarchy, it was clear that her family’s collaborators would seek the position of the direct descendant anytime, anywhere.

As the only direct descendant of the current Deerheart family, Lorraine had an obligation to reach that level.

However,

‘If she doesn’t reach the 4th hierarchy within this semester, don’t think about coming back to the family again.’

A promise she made with her father before entering her academy. Reach the 4th tier.

For generations, the heads of the Dearheart family were already at the age of entering the academy, and they were already on the threshold of the 4th hierarchy, and reached the 4th hierarchy at the academy.

Of course, it was definitely unreasonable to reach the 4th rank right away in the first semester of the first year.

However, the only direct descendant of the Dear Heart family was Lorraine, so the Duke of Dear Heart treated her even more harshly.

If Lorraine didn’t show her talent properly, she never knew when her collaborators would seek her immediate position.

It was not Lorraine’s fault that she had no brothers, but somehow she had to carry the weight of her family as the only direct bloodline.

And Lorraine felt that fact too, so she whipped herself even more.

To avoid the contempt of the Duke of Dearheart, Father, for the sake of the family.

She means that somehow she pushed herself to reach the 4th tier.

But, of course, it was impossible for her to reach the 4th rank in just one semester of her freshman year.

In the end, she had to return to her family on vacation without any achievement.

It was clear that if she didn’t return to her family, something bigger would happen.

“Wow- Ian, look at that.”

“Wow- the scenery is amazing.”

In the carriage back to the family. Of course, it means a car that moves with magic, not words.

Ian and Miya, who were together, were excitedly looking at the outside world, unaware of Lorraine’s speed.

If it was the same as before, I would have tried to get Miya out of Ian’s arms and not falling, but now I couldn’t afford it.

Because the reaction of the duke to go back and meet was so frightening. She

When she said she hadn’t reached the 4th tier, she was terrified of the cold look on her face.

‘Mister… ‘

Ian. He was a slave, but became an academy cadet with only his skills.

He had already reached the 5th level.

Across the continent, there are only about 100 wizards who have properly reached the 5th tier.

That’s why I could tell without saying how monstrous his talent was at the beginning of the 5th hierarchy.

Perhaps he could really unlock the 7th tier magic.

Lorraine proposed to him for that reason as well.

‘Craton… He’s much better than that nasty bastard.’

Lorraine and Creighton’s engagement is the Duke’s choice to defend the unavoidable family.

It was a means to defend the family from collateral by entering into an engaged relationship with Creighton, one of the men with the highest achievement among current cadet-level wizards.

Of course, Lorraine was an unwanted engagement. However, since he had not reached such a high level of achievement as to protect his family, he had no good grounds for rejecting the engagement.

He could have broken off an engagement like this if he had reached the 4th level now, but Lorraine knew he still had a while before he reached the 4th level.

There was no grounds for breaking this engagement right away, and after ten thousand years, if Creighton ever reached the fifth tier at a young age, he really should have even gotten married.

That’s why Lorraine chose her Ian.

Although his origin was pathetic, he was the one who reached the 5th rank in the shortest time in the history of the continent.

The Duke could also be interested in it.

Above all, an engagement with a handsome man who is good at magic.

It was a hundred and a thousand times better than doing it with a guy who felt like Creighton.

And the fact that there were several women clinging to him also increased Ian’s value.

For Lorraine, it was best to take Ian, and he became the option he wanted.

“Co… “

Ian had already left the carriage with Miya as if he knew what was inside him.

This guy is perfect even when he sleeps while drooling.

In fact, even if it wasn’t for his magic skills, the charm of a male was enough for him.

With that magic talent added to it, Lorraine even had a reason to catch him, even if it meant giving her everything.

‘Somehow this vacation… ‘

The employee named Miya who followed along was annoying. It was even pretty.

However, in Lorraine’s struggle-filled life, none of that mattered.

Lorraine is determined that she will somehow make him her own in her family during this vacation.

If necessary, even if you give up your most precious thing.

Without knowing Lorraine’s feelings, Ian was sleeping peacefully.

“Uhhh… nice… “

Duke of Dearheart, Duchy of Dearheart was more like a duchy rather than a family territory.

From what I hear, it seems that the status of the Dearheart family is higher than I thought.

It’s almost as influential as a mage tower.

The duke’s mansion was also a more appropriate size to call it a castle, and even the hospitality of Miya and I, who came as guests, was unbearably generous.

From the time he first arrived at the duchy until now, the Duke of Dearheart had been vacant.

I heard that he went to the imperial castle, but he said he would come back soon, but until now, even after dinner, he has not returned.

The current owner of a venerable magic family that has supported the empire for generations. A great wizard who has reached the 6th tier with only 7 people on the continent.

And Lorraine’s father.

When I inferred from all the information, it didn’t seem like he had a very friendly personality.

According to Lorraine, he said that at this age he had reached the 5th tier and would never disrespect me, but it was somehow scary.

Miya had drunk a lot of wine at dinner and had already passed out, so I returned to my room by myself and lay down on the bed.

You will be able to read the magic of the Dearheart family in earnest once you finish talking with the Duke.

There is nothing I can do right now, so it wasn’t bad to go to bed early.

Sometimes I’m tired from riding a carriage for a long time during the day.

Koogu Palace…

Just as I was about to close my eyes, I felt a huge vibration from outside the window.

The huge vibration that resonated throughout the mansion and the strong scent of mana that was instantly felt.

The magic was obvious. Its form was very simple, but its power was never simple.

I ran to the window and looked outside to confirm the identity of this huge vibration.

-… Sorry.

Outside of her was Lorraine, with her head down, apologizing for something she had done, and a red-haired, middle-aged man standing in front of her, looking down at her.

According to the circumstances, that middle-aged man with red hair is the Duke of Dearheart. And judging from the cracks on the ground centered on him, it seemed that he used magic.

It was strange that my daughter kept her head down, but there was something else that surprised me more than that.

“… Ground strike?”

The magic used by the duke is first-class magic no matter where you look at it. It was a ground hit.

In other words, a simple first-tier magic caused a wave of this magnitude.

I couldn’t even dare to predict how it was done, what kind of calculation process it went through.

This is the head of the Dearheart family. A wizard who has reached the 6th tier with only 7 people on the continent.

I was the one who didn’t know calculus and ignored the wizards in this world who calculated magic, but I couldn’t help but think of that when I saw that scene.

The grid itself was different from the kids at the academy.

Even if it was the same 1st tier magic, the difference was like heaven and earth.

To be more precise, the magic he used was essentially different from what I knew.

-… Pitiful guy.

The Duke looked at her Lorraine with her contempt, then passed her into her mansion.

Still she had her head down, frozen in place.

I couldn’t hear it properly because of the distance, but they said something about the 4th rank.

Could it be that Lorraine went as far as saying that she couldn’t use 4th tier magic yet?

“… Hopefully it isn’t.”

I’m only a freshman now, so what’s the 4th rank? She already knows how to use most third-tier magic, and Lorraine is already full of her talents.

From my point of view, Lorraine was not a skill to be ignored.

“You’d better leave it as it is.”

She still felt a little sorry for Lorraine, who had frozen with her head down, but she didn’t want to go out and comfort her.

And also, given her personality, knowing that I saw this scene would hurt her pride.

I just quietly went back to bed and closed my eyes.

I kept thinking about the weak voice that wasn’t like Lorraine, but in the end I was able to fall asleep.

And dinner the next day.

“Have my daughter.”

As expected, it seems that Lorraine’s father wasn’t normal either.
