chapter 99
Envy
Sitting on the chair, I had a fat face.
‘No, why isn’t it moving?’
It’s not about the tower.
Academy story.
In the case of the Red Horse Tower, even after formally declaring war, there has been no battle yet.
Because the Imperial Family was desperately arbitrating between the Red Horse Tower and the Duke of Epsilt.
In fact, in the case of mediation, the Duke faction was openly on the side of the Duke of Epsilt.
At least, the emperor and his subordinates were somehow preventing the start of the war.
Even if it’s a war of territories, the imperial family doesn’t need to worry about the extent to which Korean and American baron writers fight each other.
If you become a duke and are fighting a territorial battle with your own country’s horse tower, that’s a serious loss of flesh.
If you think about the families under the influence of the duke, the civil war is confirmed as it is if you make a mistake.
Therefore, the imperial family has no choice but to intervene.
However, the academy is different.
It has been quite some time since the incident took place, and there has been no official announcement yet.
Obviously, I called all of our party members and checked it out.
That wasn’t enough, so I called all the cadets in turns.
But why is there still no movement?
Even if he was a Duke of Epsilt, he didn’t think he could even put pressure on the academy.
Although the Academy is located in the Empire’s land.
In fact, it’s no different than the realm of President Luisa Falken.
In the first place, it doesn’t seem like he’s going to do anything to set an angle for the academy while he’s already in confrontation with the tower.
Anyway, now that this is it, maybe the academy is trying to cover it up.
I was starting to have such doubts.
The Luisa Falken seen in the original game wasn’t like that.
With that said, all of my previous party members weren’t like that in the original game.
But again, to think that I am being discriminated against because I am Louis Wallenstein.
Luisa Falken in this world seemed strangely friendly to me.
According to Aine, when I submitted a nonsensical party expulsion application before.
It is said that the president himself appeared in front of the protesting Leo Epsilt and removed him.
Thereafter, the president also told me that the president had approved the application.
Looking at it like that, it doesn’t seem like I’m discriminating against Louis Wallenstein.
Rather, he is showing a favor to me…
‘It’s because the names are similar.’
Anyway, despite this, there is no response from the academy, so it’s getting annoying.
“Son, what’s wrong?”
“Yes?”
At Master’s sudden question, I expressed my doubts.
“No, it’s because you don’t have a good expression on your face.”
“It’s nothing.”
you are sharp
It’s morning time, before class starts.
The atmosphere in the classroom was strange.
The cadets were chatting as usual, but little by little, everyone was looking at the two of us.
That would be natural.
Those who were about to die and those who were about to die are in the same class.
Originally, it was impossible, but Leo Epsilt’s family made it possible.
There, if there’s Leo Epsilt and Saints in the party over there.
We have Veronica at our party.
The two successors who are fighting each other are in the same class.
Literally, it couldn’t have been a bitch.
Actually, if you think about it, Veronica was also trying to kill Leo Epsilt.
As soon as she thought of her, just as Veronica entered the classroom.
Next to her were Aine and Felice.
They look around and wave their hands when they see us.
The three of us return face to face and come towards us.
“Good morning!”
“good morning!”
We say hi, and Veronica sits down at my desk.
“Leo, isn’t that bastard here yet? I’m glad I haven’t been in a bad mood since morning.”
“Good luck, thanks for a refreshing morning!”
As such, I lightly chewed Leo Epsilt as a greeting.
Veronica brings it up.
“Are you two okay this weekend? I said Aine and Felice were okay.”
“I have nothing.”
“I have no plans, so why? Originally, I thought I would ask him to go to a homework assignment.”
When I answered that, Veronica said.
“Why, you said that Master and Sally invited everyone last time.”
“Yeah, it was.”
“Well, if you don’t have any other work, you’d like to come this weekend? He said he had something important to say.”
Looking at the date and invitation, it must have been no empty words.
Even more important than that.
“What to say? What is it?”
“That’s something I didn’t even hear about. But maybe… ”
“Maybe it’s about war.”
When Felice spoke, everyone nodded.
“What exactly happened, do you want to hear from us?”
“So, have I already told you enough detail?”
Veronica answers Aine’s question.
“Okay. Maybe it’s something we want to hear directly from us.”
“Oh, sure.”
“Or maybe just to let you know how things are going.”
Everyone says one word at a time.
“Well, you’ll know when you go.”
I said.
“Okay, so everyone says they’re going?”
At the same time as Veronica said that with a happy expression.
The classroom door opened and Leo Epsylt entered.
Beside him were the saintess and Elin.
If it’s the difference between the two, the saintess smiles as usual and sticks to Leo’s side.
Was it that Elin was chasing after them a little behind the scenes like a criminal?
Leone’s eyes met with our party members who naturally turned to the sound of the classroom door opening.
At the same time, he grimaced without saying who came first.
Leo Epsilt ignored us and headed towards his seat.
After that, Veronica mumbles as if to listen.
“Ugh it’s frustrating. If it wasn’t for the imperial family, the duchy would have been burned sooner.”
“Veronica, I think that’s a little harsh. The innocent people of Yeongji are pitiful, so we’ll just burn the duke’s castle.”
Whether or not Aine is curling up next to him, he says something that can scratch Leo Epsilt’s temper.
Veronica also tells Elin.
“Hey, you bitch there. Do you remember when I offered to show you the World Tree fireworks? Look forward to it.”
It was a provocation, but there was no reaction from Elin.
Still with a gloomy expression on her face, she just kept her head down without saying a word.
“Hey, that’s not fun.”
Veronica mumbles so.
—
A few days later, the weekend.
Following the words of the Red Horseman, we boarded the carriage from early Saturday morning.
“Huh… Do you really have to go this early?”
Master yawns long.
“haha… I asked you to come as early as possible.”
Veronica scratches the back of her head and says.
The wagon prepared by the Red Mage Tower was quite large and luxurious.
“Oh oh… ”
Perhaps it was her first time riding a carriage like this, Aine exclaimed in admiration.
Seeing her like that, Veronica starts to explain with a happy expression.
“Is this the wagon that is used to transport the distinguished guests in our Red Mage Tower, or when the owner of the Mage Tower or the elders move around? Through technical partnerships with other magic towers, wind magic reduces shock and vibration, and especially the heating magic used in wagons is a technology developed and improved by our red magic tower… ”
As we all enter, the carriage departs.
Veronica continued her boasting and detailed explanation of the magic that went into it, starting with the carriage and continuing to the magic tower, to the point where she wondered if there were so many words in the first place.
Aine and Felice didn’t show it, but their expressions were a bit tired.
Because the wagon is very wide, and as Veronica said, there was almost no rattling compared to normal wagons.
In that comfort, Master was already lying on the chair and sleeping on my leg.
Veronica’s story continues endlessly.
“… So, when an enemy is caught, a fireball is immediately launched, and when it comes within a certain distance, it is released at once using the remaining mana… ”
Veronica now explains the defense devices installed in the wagon.
Master gets up and stretches out his arms.
“Ahhh, that’s cool. I’m getting hungry now… ”
At Master’s words, Veronica pulls the handle inside the carriage as if she’s used to it.
After all, she said it was a carriage for VIPs, so she must have ridden it often.
In the drawer she opened, there were various drinks and light food just like a mini bar.
“First of all, this…
“Oh oh!”
Master brightens his eyes.
It was the same with Aine.
Everyone started eating simple sweets.
“This… ”
“You can drink!”
As Aine looks at the bottle, which looks expensive at first glance, with bright eyes, Veronica says.
‘Am I okay?’
Well, this is a fantasy world.
Everyone takes turns drinking a sip out of curiosity.
Chatting happily, we finally arrived at the Red Mage Tower.
“Hey… Felice, it’s fluffy… ”
“Hyat!”
“Wait, kid. How much did you drink?”
Aye, you are envious…
no, not this one
Anyway, drunk Aine’s face was red.
We got off the wagon.
Felice held Aine who stumbled.
As soon as you get off the carriage, you will see a huge red horse tower.
At the entrance, I rubbed my eyes when I saw a human who wondered why he was here.
“Lord… ?”
