Chapter 54
“Jefford.”
Victoria, Duke of Windsor stroked an eagle. He carefully took the letter in his beak.
-I don’t want to work.
“....”
Victoria Windsor stopped moving as if thinking for a moment.
This text is Ruid’s handwriting.
The hastily bent tail of the writing seems to represent the son’s feelings.
Ruid is currently at the academy.
I ran away from the academy because it was annoying.
Academy President Clifford said he was resigning.
Immediately after that, there was news that the Emperor visited the Academy.
There is no way Ruid would send a letter about anything.
He sent a letter asking for help because he had exceeded his authority. Since I said I didn’t want to work, I could tell that the emperor had ordered me to do something.
“...Is that really what happened?”
It only took a few accidents for Victoria to find out what had happened to Ruid.
“Lucius. “I thought of you as a close friend.”
Victoria carefully held the letter and headed to her room.
First of all, let’s permanently store the ‘first letter’ that Ruid sent to himself through various magical treatments.
**
“your majesty! This is a big deal! A remarkable flow of magical energy has been discovered at Windsor Castle!”
The court wizard, Merlin, made a fuss and reported.
The emperor asked casually.
“What flow are you talking about?”
“Well, that is... It is presumed that it was the act of throwing sword energy into the sky, and considering its power, it is presumed that it was done by the Duke of Windsor. “It’s snowing at Windsor Castle right now.”
Lucius, who heard that story, laughed as if it were absurd.
“Windsor also conducts protests in a novel way.”
“This is not something to be taken lightly! Windsor’s magic turning towards the sky can be interpreted as a challenge to the authority of the imperial family. “This has never happened before in history!”
“It will be recorded as a rare act of nonsense? “Why are you tormenting the poor sky?”
“your majesty! “The Duke of Windsor must be brought to the imperial court immediately and held accountable!”
“Are you going to ruin your relationship with Windsor over a trivial prank? “Fuck off, sir.”
“yes.”
Merlin quickly ran away.
Lucius took out the bracelet while he was alone in the battle.
When he used the emperor’s authority, his arms glowed brightly and a square appeared in the air.
It was a contact network that replaced the role of the crystal ball.
Victoria was seen wearing her uniform.
“Nice to meet you. Victoria.”
[Lucius.]
Victoria paused for a moment and added.
[Your Majesty.]
“Just speak informally. “It’s not really a public matter, is it?”
[I heard the news. It looks like he ordered my son to do something.]
“Are you even protesting just because of that?”
[The clouds are gathered together, only separated.]
Clouds symbolize peace. Parting the clouds did not have a positive meaning.
Lucius sighed heavily.
“That’s your problem. We haven’t talked since a long time ago. “If you don’t like it, just say you don’t like it. Why bother with this cute cloud?”
[What exactly did you ask Ruid to do?]
“I recommended him to take over as president of the academy. Still, it seems like Ruid relies on you a lot. “If you look at what I told you right away.”
This is a technique that first suggests high value, induces rejection, and then makes the person accept the value they really want by making them think it is not that big of a deal.
Of course, offering the position of president to Ruid, who is only 12 years old, is a step away from common sense.
However, the ‘honorary professor’ that the real Lucius wants is also beyond common sense. Because Ruid was already the youngest academy student.
However, it feels like a much more trivial task than initially offering me the position of president. And that was what Lucius intended.
Lucius looked at Victoria with a confident expression. I didn’t think she would reject this offer.
[...I’m sure it would be okay to be an emeritus professor.]
“Really? Then...”
[But it is more important to ask my son’s opinion.]
You’re saying you won’t accept this right away?
Lucius was embarrassed.
‘It’s really terrible...’
He shook his head.
Asking for more than this could be seen as coercive. Lucius had no choice but to nod.
“good night. “Then, let’s ask Ruid what he wants.”
Victoria spoke very hastily.
[I will ask you directly.]
Lucius nodded with a shocked expression.
**
[...It’s nothing... that...]
Ruid looked at the crystal ball with a cold face.
“Speak quickly, Mom.”
Victoria said with a very sad face.
[Is this all grown up now...? [I don’t even call her ‘mama.’]
I wish Ruid would do something about that word.
‘Where is the 12-year-old who still calls me mama?’
But I couldn’t be stubborn when faced with that very sad-looking face.
“...mama.”
Victoria’s expression brightened.
“Anyway, how did it go?”
Actually, I already noticed it.
Because Victoria is hesitant, it means the results are not good.
‘What on earth, you failed even though you used Mom’s chance?’
Ruid couldn’t understand.
[Well, how about an emeritus professor instead of a president? Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. Because Mama is on Ruid’s side. Although the conditions are a little better, they are not at all important compared to Ruid.]
Victoria was not the type of person to talk much.
It was the same for me too.
But now, it’s a bit talkative.
“...What are the conditions?”
Ruid noticed right away and asked with eyes full of suspicion.
Victoria paused again.
[The conditions are not important at all. The only thing that matters is my son’s doctor. If you don’t want to do it to the tee, you don’t have to.]
“Condition.”
[...Large.]
Victoria cleared her throat once and spoke cautiously.
[...I decided to receive the Larden territory as a grant. On the condition that you become an emeritus professor.]
“....”
Ruid blinked.
I was confused about what I had just heard.
Isn’t Larden Territory a complete bonanza?
[If you accept this offer, since Ruid has obtained it, the Larden Territory belongs to Ruid...]
“I will do it.”
Ruid answered without a moment of hesitation.
