Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

130 – Fallen Imperial Family (1)

“The lion is dead.”

The gloomy voice of the Earl of Queensberry resounded throughout the Great War.

“The messenger I sent thinking it was the minimum Maginot Line came back as a cold corpse.”

At least there was no one left here to refute his words, and Lucius also had his chin tucked in and looked like he was deep in thought.

“Your Majesty. Please name me. How long are you going to leave the Duke of Windsor alone?”

Fire gushed from the Earl of Queensberry.

“Seriously, Countess of Queensberry.”

“You kill my daughter, and you try not to do even the bare minimum… ! How can you stand it!”

Lucius held his throne in his hands.

‘It would be foolish to lose Chuck with Windsor here. Today’s Windsor is stronger than ever. Even, Irene Windsor is always aiming for the Empire’s throat.’

Lucius’ strong intuition.

That was telling.

It’s too dangerous to touch Windsor at this time.

But—

“Your Majesty.”

“… ….”

The eyes of the aristocrats sitting around the desk were also telling.

Is the Duke of Windsor higher than the Empire?

Of course, no noble can stand above the Empire.

The moment I admit this…… He himself would lose even the minimum qualifications of an emperor.

So Lucius had to make a decision.

“Get a soldier.”

‘Ruid. If it was that smart kid, he would understand my intentions. I have no choice but to lean on it.’

“I allow you to lead the main pillar of the new Imperial Knights, the Knights of the Garter.”

Send the knights Amelia created to the north.

This meaning was also the meaning of Lucius, who did not want to lose Chuck with Windsor.

Other than that, I will do everything I can, but the variable was, of course, Irene Windsor.

‘…… It’s the worst’

At that time, what would have happened if Irene Windsor had been pulled down?

No, she’d rather not have tried-

But it was already too late.

**

Ruid was holding Irene’s hand while walking. It wasn’t Louise’s own will, but Irene’s stubbornness.

After that, I didn’t allow them to be apart even for an hour. Louis opened her eyes and looked up at Irene.

“How long will you hold hands?”

Irene answered with a quiet smile.

“There is something I want to show you.”

The place Irene headed was the knights quarters. Compared to the 4th line of defense, very small buildings were sparsely located.

Well-angled knights walked and saluted. Among them, the place where they entered was not a building, but a barracks. I could see a pile of snow that hadn’t melted yet.

“Is this place?”

“It’s a conference room. Are you here for the first time?”

“Yes.”

Ruid has never been on the 1st line of defense before. She spent most of her time at the 4th Line of Defense, Windsor Mansion.

Upon entering the barracks, the knights were talking about something with serious faces.

At the square table, in the first seat, Charlotte and Amelia are sitting face to face. Amelia, in particular, sat stiff with her back straight.

“Thank you for your hard work! All preparations for the meeting are complete.”

“Yes. Have a seat.”

“Yes!”

Vincent ran and Irene moved to the front of her holding Louis’ hand.

She lifted her Louis and sat her in her own chair, then walked towards the map on her wall.

Ruid tilted his head. Why did you come here all of a sudden?

“Then, I will explain the situation now.”

Irene opened the door with a strange smile. She put the map in her hand. There were a lot of round black magnets that marked her monsters.

“A week ago, I went on a subjugation to block the approaching Great Omen.”

“Starting from the 4th line of defense, we broke through to the center. I pushed it to this point.”

Irene pushed her black horse with her finger. Naturally, her horses were split on either side.

‘… That much?’

Her problem was that Irene’s fingertips didn’t know how to stop. She pierced through to the point of impossibility.

As if reading Louis’ thoughts, Irene raised the corners of her mouth.

“This is the result of consuming about 80% of my strength. Things weren’t good enough to have to do that. We talked well with Mine and ended it peacefully.”

Ruid could be 100% sure that the conversation was never peaceful.

“So, as you can see- like this, the monsters have been dispersed to both sides.”

As Irene said, the black pieces on the magic board were clustered on both sides. It was a fairly large amount.

“Because the only ones who reached an agreement were monsters with some level of intelligence- those without reason will probably come sooner or later. Crush thoroughly. That is the purpose of today’s meeting.”

Irene returned to her seat as if she had finished talking. She sat Louis on her lap.

“The confirmed number is 7,000. Monsters who have lost their place to live are invading this place.”

Vincent said seriously.

“Has the family lord gone to the 9th line of defense?”

“Yes.”

When Irene answered, Charlotte replied.

She said, “I heard that there are more monsters in the 1st line of defense…… Our captain, you’re not feeling well, are you okay?”

“If you’re curious, would you like sparring?”

Irene responded roundly. Charlotte made a strange noise and twitched his shoulder.

“Sorry.”

Charlotte immediately became a jjuguri.

‘Well, Irene is serious about sparring.’

Irene’s sword has no middle. As a result, the opponent of Dalian becomes a super corpse. It’s not uncommon for her to break somewhere. No matter how tough the knights of the north were, there was no way they were happy to break something every time they sparred.

“Sure.”

Louise opened her mouth.

“I will solve it.”

Amelia’s eyes widened as she sat in front of her.

“Louis… Are you going?”

“Yes. No? 7,000 Of them in one magic shot…….”

Louise blinked her eyes.

Because Amelia was staring at her floor with a look like she was going to cry.

“…… Can’t handle it in one shot. Also I can’t It’s impossible if it’s not a magic that blows away the entire 1st line of defense. Sister Amelia takes care of this.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

Amelia’s expression brightened.

After all, Amelia is simple.

‘…… I don’t know if it’ll be ok anyway. 7,000 Is not a small number.’

Considering that it is usually around 3,000 in a single wave, this is a fairly large number.

In addition, Irene, who consumed her power, could not be used.

At the 1st line of defense, there are only minimal troops remaining because of the aftermath of one wave.

People from the House of Windsor can come in and out through the gate, but it usually takes more than two weeks to get here from the nearest second line of defense.

“Even originally, Ruid could not be allowed to participate.”

“Huh?”

The northern family doesn’t impose any obligations on themselves, but they were happy to participate.

Ruid looked at Irene with a puzzled look. Said Irene, stroking her Louise’s head.

“Louis has something to do with me.”

“Are you going to do it?”

“Yes.”

Irene’s eyes were colored with life.

“I have to give a wonderful gift to the empire that crossed the line without knowing the subject.”

“…… Uh?”

Ruid was perplexed.

Because she had no intention of destroying the empire.

Damon agreed to become emperor, but he had no intention of helping. He hates fighting, so I don’t want to get involved in that part.

He only wanted to save the first emperor and avenge Delrin through Ella and her research.

“That…… “

“I don’t mean to go to destroy the empire right away.”

Irene said in her grim voice.

“Since you have stepped on our land, we are only holding a welcome ceremony.”

**

‘Then I said that from the beginning. Misunderstood people.’

Ruid walked with a grunt, her hand on the back of her neck. She said that Irene had something to prepare for a while and she was away.

She said the messenger of the empire was coming, she said. It is an official delegation. However, it bothers me that the size of the troops is quite large.

Could it be because there is a perception that the North is a dangerous place?

‘Could you do something stupid to make a fuss in the north? I won’t.’

Ruid walked with a light heart. She has Miho attached to Amelia, so she thinks she’ll probably be safe.

“Ruid!”

Then, someone shouted and ran. It was hersy

“Ah, Hersy. I was just about to meet you.”

I think I’ve been too negligent lately. But Hersey shook his head.

“No. Since we were training hard, it would have been rather difficult for Ruid to come. There is no time to dress up.”

“You don’t have to dress up to meet me…… “

“…… You don’t seem to be interested in the way I dress up.”

Hersie’s pupils shook, and water formed.

‘Starting with Irene, why the hell are women these days!’

Ruid felt extremely uncomfortable. Shaking her hand, she said.

“That, I didn’t mean it that way.”

Fortunately, no tears fell from Hersy’s eyes.

She said with a serious face instead.

“I saw the knights moving. Is it an air raid?”

‘As expected, he’s quick-witted.’

Ruid’s gaze turned toward the other students.

Seeing how calm she is, she doesn’t seem to notice at all. Nodding her head, she said.

“Right.”

“Please, Ruid.”

Hersy said in a rather tense tone.

“Let us, too, participate in the battle.”

“…… It’s not such a simple raid this time. A little dangerous.”

“If you come all the way here and don’t do anything dangerous, there’s nothing more dangerous than that.”

Hercy bowed. Ruid’s eyes widened. It is not easy for a noble to bow down.

“Please. I want to develop further.”

“Mmm.”

Ruid was worried.

But – seeing Hersi’s earnest eyes, she couldn’t bear to refuse.

‘…… Anyway, since the wizard will only use big magic from the rear, it should be fine.’

Ruid couldn’t help but nodded her head.

“Okay. I’ll tell Irene noona. Get ready and go under the wall.”

“Thank you!”

She wondered if that was how she liked it. She hopped once, hugged herself once, and ran to where she was.

Ruid sat on the fence around her, yawning. She was talking enthusiastically about Hercy gathering her students.

However, the story didn’t seem to go well. She has an aura of fear. Then, Damon approached her, putting his hands in his pockets, and said something.

More than that, the pale students began to prepare quickly. Louis was amazed.

“One leadership skill is great. Is it because of the royal family?”

Anyway, it wasn’t long before the academy students formed a row. I walked with Hercy and Damon at the forefront.

“Don’t step out. Dear friend Those cattle are mine.”

“… I won’t touch you anyway.”

“Thank you for your permission!”

Damon and Hersie said one word at a time as they passed by.

Louise stretched her and rubbed her eyes.

Just then, a smiling Justin came into view.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been very quiet lately. Due to Justin’s outgoing personality, he can’t stay still in this situation…… ‘

Ruid felt a subtle sense of deja vu.

Sophia is dead. She is somehow kept alive but unconscious. Not a good situation.

Sophia was Justin’s heroine. No matter how wrong she was, she was smiling like that.

She wasn’t the Justin she knew.

Louise stretched out her hand towards Justin. She then clenched her fists.

“Ouch… !”

“Lou, Louie.”

Justin’s body floated. He grabbed his neck and twisted his whole body as if in agony. Ruid dragged Justin with her nonchalant face. And the pizza in her hand again, Justin rolled off.

She went down the fence and grabbed Justin by the collar and pulled him.

“Who are you?”
