chapter 31
31 – 7. The fortuneteller says
Five days after the forced march called the first class.
Instructor Redfield did not change his words. The five of us were sent home, leaving only Prince Kim Seong-il of <The Hero> and <Saint> who did not pass.
During this free time, I think about my skills, the events that followed, and even the upcoming midterm exams.
Not even a day passed. After all the preparations were finished, there was no free time.
So, when I tried to meet with Princess Riona, she just said let’s meet next time, and Arthur’s brother and sister are a bit difficult to find from this side.
One day, while I was walking around the academy for the past few days.
“…Honestly, I’m a bit embarrassed.”
“I understand.”
… … Caught.
To the students who entered the academy together under the name of bodyguards with Prince Kim Seong-il, who had finished class before he knew it.
Halfway dragged into a classroom in a building, I sat on a fancy chair that didn’t match the place and looked around.
‘All six.’
Prince Kim Seong-il, who was sitting across from me, and six students standing around him as if to escort him.
Three tall boys, one boy wearing glasses who looked a bit unlucky, and two girls looking at me strangely.
All of these are the exclusive privileges of Prince Kim Seong-il.
‘Honestly, I didn’t know in the game… … The position of being the next heir to a superpower is enormous.’
In fact, even if it was the princess, it didn’t make sense for the crown prince, who was supposed to be the next emperor, to come to the academy.
But did you come? Did this b*tch younger sister just use ignorance to say she wanted to attack the prince?
Since that became a reality, the academy allowed the admission of the prince’s aides as an exception to prevent any possible danger.
Of course, he didn’t actually go to the romance academy because he was an academy student, but it just gave him a reason to follow the prince.
however.
“First of all, thank you to the prince for finding this insignificant fortune teller.”
“no.”
“But I dare to ask… What is the love point…?”
What kind of a guy’s love point is a sick love?
Didn’t you have an event like this? Aren’t you a pure lover who only looks at the main character?
“It’s literally.”
“……Are you really talking about a love point?”
“okay.”
A prince who indifferently gives a short answer to any question.
I know this is acting, so I don’t feel bad about it.
‘Can’t you see the eyes of the people behind you!?’
refuse refuse refuse
The guys standing behind you are staring at me with all kinds of eyes! You’re pressuring me to refuse unconditionally!
Yes, even I would see it as absurd if someone called the next emperor suddenly fell in love and called a fortuneteller to find out about love.
But then, tell the prince himself, why are you doing this to a clumsy fortune teller?
Aren’t these guys really weak and weak?
“Prince, would it be all right if I talk to you for a moment?”
“do it.”
“Among the divinations, the love divination is the most uncertain. It is because it is not easy to know even by divination in the human heart, and even if you know it, it is love that changes quickly.”
If anyone comes to do fortune-telling, it’s almost unconditionally coming to see one of the three.
future, studies, love.
Love points are so popular, and in reality, love points can be seen in a variety of ways, such as compatibility, four weeks, date of birth, tarot, and contemplation.
In fact, the dating point is the most bullsh*t among the divination points.
“Go ahead.”
“Peeking into one’s heart with fortune-telling is abandoning human morality, and making a relationship with someone is betraying heavenly principle. “
what? I confessed that my dating relationship was good, and I accepted it?
Then I just had a crush on you from the beginning. not because of the point.
what? Didn’t you confess because your dating relationship wasn’t good?
So what’s the difference between not seeing it and not seeing it?
That’s what the point is. It’s because of divination that makes you think that if things go well, it’s because of divination, and if things don’t go well, it’s because of you.
That’s why people who read love divination are trying to gain a kind of ‘courage’ rather than really doing it.
Because the point came out well, because the point said it would work.
That’s where you gain courage and confess. If you confess like that, it may be a car, but there are not many people who blame it for being a car. Because I didn’t even really want to believe it in the first place.
But what if I accept your confession? Oh, because I thought it was because of fortune telling, I went to that fortune teller even after that.
That’s how scammers do it.
“So, I think it’s wiser to confess directly or build a relationship if you want to see my dating history.”
“…….”
When I say it in moderation, my aides look at me saying that I did well or nod my head.
No, you guys won’t. why do you do it to me
Anyway, I’ve said this, but I won’t say I’ll keep watching… … …
“I beg you anyway.”
“…….”
… … Write, it’s a bit strange.
Even though they obviously refused euphemistically, they tried to go ahead with it, and even the faces of their aides turned to bewilderment.
Yes, Prince Kim Seong-il is not like this. It’s a little strange that you came to me in the first place.
He despises professions like <fortune teller>.
Kim Seong-il hates jobs that are judged to be of no use to the country, such as <Fortune Teller>, <Hero>, and <Singer>.
Should we call it efficient? Anyway, he is a guy who has his own standards.
By the way, did you come to see me for divination? You didn’t call that, did you?
‘There seems to be something.’
Let’s think about it.
Prince Kim Seong-il came to visit me on purpose. In other words, there are things I want to say or hear.
For that reason, he brought up the cause of dating, and he is forcing it excessively.
Why? What is the connection between me and Prince Kim Seong-il?
… … no way?
“Um, if the prince says so… Gentlemen, can you step back for a moment?”
“What? Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“A love fortune is a very sensitive point. If the person involved in the fortune telling and another person are too close, their love fortune may be mixed…”
“Is that… is that so?”
“Yes, I’m not asking you to leave the room at all. Just stick to the wall.”
“Hey, we were entrusted with escorting the prince. Such a ridiculous request…!”
okay. It would be embarrassing to suddenly drop it. But I was just as absurd, you bastards.
And if you’re close there, love luck is mixed? Of course that is nonsense. Even people who are ignorant about divination can say what they are talking about.
but.
“Back off.”
“Ah, Prince! If you do that and you get in trouble…”
“Back off.”
“……Yes, I understand.”
yes. I thought you would help.
At the prince’s command, my words as a fortune teller. In addition, since I would have investigated my background, I decided that there was no way that I, who had no particular grudge against the prince and was not a combat profession, would pose a threat to the prince.
This is enough to push the escort to the wall. If I had told you to leave the room at all, I wouldn’t have listened, but sticking to the wall is no big deal.
“Then, let’s start dating. First of all, I’ll draw a picture on this piece of paper while asking questions. The prince just needs to draw along the picture while answering.”
“okay.”
And this room is quite large.
Close to the wall, we sitting in the middle of the room can barely see our heads.
If we covered it with our body properly, even if it was a combat job, it would be hard to see what was written on the paper between us.
First, I leaned over and moved the pen, covering the paper.
“Can I see your compatibility with him?”
[Is it about the princess?]
“Yes. It would be nice if you could look at the compatibility and love points.”
[I lived because I was a quick-witted guy. Thank you.]
“What? Then, I’ll draw a picture of a woman first, so would you please take a look at it?”
[Is this method safe? Can you avoid the eyes of your aides?]
“It’s a fun way. I see.”
[If this is the case, there will be no problem.]
also.
Seeing that he’s trying to talk to me this far but not actively speaking, he’s trying to talk about something secret.
If the story wasn’t a problem, we would have talked a long time ago, but seeing that it wasn’t so, he wanted to talk alone, avoiding the escorts’ eyes.
Lastly, of course, the only link between me and the prince is Princess Kim Eun-ha.
But why do you bother approaching me? What did I do to the princess?
‘hmm… … … .’
Did you do nothing?
Just use it to break down walls, make some good deals with each other, use it to make roads in the mountains, and use it to catch that crazy knight… …
There is nothing wrong. What is it? Well, if you talk, you’ll know.
“Could I possibly know the woman’s name?”
[May I know what your business is?]
“I don’t know yet. I want to take it slow.”
[I want to ask for a messenger role. There is too much snow near me.]
“Um, then what does it look like?”
[Is this a message to the princess?]
“That’s fine.”
[okay.]
A message to the princess, there are too many eyes around.
… … I’m getting a little carried away.
“Then, think about what he looks like, and write it down.”
[What can I say?]
“Long straight hair, beautiful eyes, a tall nose, red lips, big eyes, and a nice smile. She was a beautiful woman.”
[‘Things I like and protect’, this is enough. I don’t need to know more.]
“okay.”
[okay.]
I know now what the situation is.
The prince has something to secretly convey to the princess, but since there are many eyes around him, he intends to convey it through me in this way.
There are ways to go through other students, but… … Apparently, I am a citizen of the unified Korean Empire, and in the last class, I showed a close image of the princess, and there is also a good cause for dating.
Somehow the appearance description was needlessly detailed, but anyway.
Perhaps he would have communicated to me in some other way if I hadn’t noticed first?
Anyway, just say ok here and say this and it will be over.
by the way.
“I see. Lastly, would you like to draw a circle while thinking of him?”
[Can I ask you one question?]
“I will.”
[If it’s a reward, I’ll give you money.]
“Ah, if you’ve drawn all the circles, I’d like the triangles too, please.”
[Another question.]
“okay.”
[I’m the one asking for it, so I’ll allow only one.]
I guess this
It sounds like something I should intervene in.
“You drew everything.”
[Who is it?]
“okay.”
[What do you mean?]
“…Well, I think it came out a bit bad.”
[The person trying to assassinate the princess, who is the escort?]
Right.
The prince dropped his pen.
“……what?”
“I’m sorry, but I can help you.”
Jjiik. Jjiik. Jjiik.
The absent-minded prince leaves, crumpling and tearing the paper he and I were using.
The escorts seemed to flinch at my sudden action, but they seemed to rush at me.
Who among them would be more interested in the paper written by the prince than me?
“A bad result has to be ripped out. It’s far better to tear it apart, do something that didn’t exist, and try again than to leave it as it is.”
“…will you help me?”
“Of course. We can’t send the prince like this, can we?”
Tear, tear, tear again.
They are crumpled and cut so that even the writing is unrecognizable, and scattered on the table.
The prince, still bewildered and with a puzzled look on his face, looks at me.
“Aren’t you a fortuneteller? You’ll need me for something like this.”
“……Huh, hahahaha. Yes.”
He hides his embarrassment, leaving only the feeling of gratitude on his face.
that’s smoke Eyes watching you… … That is why the escorts will also be fooled.
An act of thanking a fortune teller for helping a love affair with bad results.
But I can see the prince’s inner thoughts.
‘They’re suspicious of me.’
Maybe you think you’ve fallen into a trap.
One of the escorts is a traitor, so I had no choice but to choose a fortune teller to act as a messenger. Does the fortune teller know about the assassination?
This, of course, is doubtful. Even if it’s not Rio, I usually doubt it.
‘But this is an opportunity.’
It is not easy to gain the trust of the prince and princess. These two character events are difficult and come later.
However, if the ‘attempt to assassinate the princess’, which had to be watched in the game, intervene here.
“Then, when should I do the next dot?”
“…do it tomorrow.”
“Okay. Please contact me when you decide the exact time and place!”
One day until the next time we meet. During that day, the prince will properly dig me out.
But I’m already a pro who has been investigated twice by Liu and Rain.
A real pro is confident. Even if you dig, nothing comes out!
“Goodbye.”
“…okay.”
Well then, for now.
Shall we go see the princess?
