Avoid Former Co-Workers

12 – 12. Aftermath

“Are you here?”

A gray-white man with a deep voice raises his eyes and calls out to his daughter, who lags far behind her promising sons.

“…Yes.”

And the answer is the illegitimate son of the count’s family, who hangs his head and trembles in fear.

Even though she came from another woman’s boat, it is unmistakably true that she is of the count’s blood, but Sylvia can’t lift her head.

I was in a position where I was in a position where I couldn’t even speak properly because I was in a position where I was asked if I wanted to be, and since I didn’t know what the count was going to say, I had to be as polite as possible.

If an outsider comes and witnesses this scene, it is not a father-daughter relationship, but a servant and master. So, you will ask if it is not a master-servant relationship.

Because the count’s eyes, sitting in an authoritative position on the chair, were looking at the top of Silvia’s head as if he was not happy.

The Count opens his mouth. In a more forceful tone than usual.

“I’ve heard the news already. They say this doesn’t seem right.”

Sylvia is not allowed to speak yet, so she can’t speak.

Until her count finished her words, Sylvia had to wait without disturbing her posture.

“It’s not like you. Tell me what happened.”

When I asked her to answer her question, Sylvia finally had a chance to speak.

She had to correct her uncomfortable posture as much as possible, straighten her back stiffly, and maintain a precocious tone so as not to offend the count’s planting.

That was the etiquette that the count’s illegitimate son had been learning, and that was the attitude to take.

However, even though she was allowed to speak, the reason that a little more time was left was probably because she didn’t know what to say.

“I’m sorry. Please give me another chance so this doesn’t happen…”

“Are you asking me to give you a second chance now, Sylvia?”

Sylvia’s body trembles at the Count’s words filled with anger.

If he did not properly carry out his duties, he will be punished accordingly.

Sylvia, who went against the count’s heart for the first time, had no choice but to become impatient.

“I will do it again this time. Please give me a chance to consider it!”

She did her best not to be kicked out every time to please the count and carry out the mission.

It was in the same context that she was ordered to enter the academy and further enhance the majesty of her county family.

However, Sylvia’s magical talent was remarkably low compared to her two eldest sons, and the Count clicked her tongue and gave up his expectations.

The Count Kutelli family is a model of authoritative nobility, and anyone who becomes useless is often thrown out.

There is no exception even if it is my child. Some of the children have already been thrown out, and only the two eldest sons and a handful of family members survive.

‘How did I live… I can’t get kicked out…!’

Sylvia wanted to earn the count’s trust by enduring her life, and she did everything she was told to do like a machine, and she survived by far.

Aristocrats expelled from their families return to commoners the moment they are excommunicated and cannot enjoy their former lives.

Even being pointed at as an outcast aristocrat and being treated worse than commoners, excommunication was no different from death to Sylvia.

Be treated worse than the fallen nobles, become the gossip of commoners and nobles, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the rear ship disappears.

The end of those who are excommunicated usually leads to death. Even if the body does not die, in most cases the mind cannot endure.

Thus, asking for extenuating circumstances was a last resort to escape from the death sentence of excommunication.

Sylvia now has a ray of hope. Fortunately, the Count was the first to release a small distribution.

“Yes. You may make a mistake once in a while. This time, do it right.”

“Yes, yes…!”

“However, two mistakes will not be tolerated.”

But instead of releasing a small distribution, Du didn’t exist anymore.

Sylvia has no choice but to subdue Junon.

***

Every time I visit a place called the office, work piles up.

So I knew deep down that it meant asking you to do everything after being assigned the office.

I frown whenever I see the relationship between the review items and school policies in the heap of confirmation documents.

“Did those called vice principals or professors rule the academy like this?”

Professor Meuniher tucked his hair back and leaned his headache-inducing head back in his chair, watching the unanswerable stack of papers.

Using the evidence given by Ophelia, she succeeded in expelling the sympathizers who were like scarecrows, but when she looked into how they handled things, she could only sigh.

“This is nothing… There are mountains to fix even after looking at it.”

No, I don’t know if it’s possible to fix this complicated and contradictory relationship in the first place.

Although he once held a brief teaching position at Hardia, he has already devoted himself to research after retirement.

Is it reasonable to ask him to take up the position of professor again for himself, who is working hard on academics and research?

But I had no idea why she had asked for it so urgently.

Of course, the rules and regulations set forth by the academy are just a facade, and a huge loophole occurred in the academy’s educational process, spreading as a social problem, to the point where even the discipline that the principality established the academy was shaken by.

“It must be because the rotten bastards seized power and shook them.”

The documents I looked through were still less than halfway through.

Even though a few people who are friendly to the principality, including Professor Jake, have culled it, the problem hasn’t been reduced.

Even if he tried to come up with a plan, there wouldn’t be any clever way to break through the confrontational relationship between the current school policy and the law of the principality.

There is only one answer to this.

“I have no choice but to turn everything upside down.”

There is no other way than to take a hard line.

If this opinion is made, even if the emperor of the Artena Empire directly steps forward, there will be a barrage of resistance, but the cloth called Levant Academy will not be sewn properly unless the wrong thread is untied and sewn again.

However, if you do not boldly cut and re-sew the stitches sewn with the wrong stitching, even a little bit of the remaining fabric will not function properly.

Professor Meuniher boldly divided the documents into a series and got up from his chair to report to the Archduke.

That was the moment.

– Smart.

“Well, I came here because I have a brief meeting with the vice-principal.”

This is the vice-principal’s office, where the main problems of the academy were either neglected or dealt with erratically.

Thus, there must have been only one reason for someone knocking and entering this place.

“Excuse me… Eh?”

The door of the office opened, and Professor Meuniher’s eyes caught the familiar face of his nephew.

“It’s been a while. Renias.”

“Why is Uncle Meuniher here????”

The twin daughters of a friend and his wife who saved my life in the past have grown up to be mature women, not children.

***

Squeaky.

As the two cups of tea brewed, the two sat on the sofa and decided to relax.

“I don’t think much has changed since then. Are you eating well these days?”

“Mr. Woo. My uncle nags me not to eat unbalanced, so I’m still emptying it out. How much have I grown!”

“Put, so when are you going to surpass my height? When was the last time I said, ‘I’m going to catch up to your uncle’s height, so you know that!'”

“Ah, true. That’s what I said when I was young without knowing anything. Besides, my height is above average.”

“hahahaha. Got it. Stop it.”

Renias inflated his cheeks at the grumpy Professor Meuniher after meeting him after a long time.

Still, I have become such a mature lady. Professor Meuniher, who had seen Rénias for a long time, was actually delighted and would swallow a sip of tea, saying that the other guys should see this as well.

“More than that, I came because of something very important.”

I spent enough time playing and chatting.

Actually, Meuniher was also about to sneak a peek into why Rhenias came to the office.

“I haven’t been able to find the assistant principal for the last few days because he hasn’t been there. Don’t you know where he is? It’s because I have something to tell you.”

Unfortunately, the rapporteur Rhenias was looking for has now been fired and transferred to the dungeons of the Empire.

It might come as a bit of a shock to Rhenias, who is still untainted, to say that he was a person who didn’t handle things properly and committed embezzlement.

“Because the principal will soon change to me. I’ve decided to retire.”

“Hmm… I see…”

“If it’s an interview, would you like to do it to me? Of course, I should call you professor instead of uncle.”

Renias was lost in thought for a moment, then opened his mouth with a face he had never shown before.

“Did you know that class discrimination is taking place at Levant Academy?”

It was a story related to the light and shade of the academy, including the internal circumstances among the students, that even Princess Ophelia could not understand and convey.

Originally, the information that should have been known after the envoys of the Empire completed their investigation and waited a little longer, was delivered quickly.

It was because Junon met Rhenias and led Rhenias to see the dark side of the academy at the entrance of the banquet hall.
