A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

54 – The Little Tyrant of the Orphanage (3)

Again, nursery school.

Externally, the Whites at the orphanage were not known to be from the Empire.

It’s natural.

‘I brought you from the empire, but you can’t be imperial. For now.’

The children of the empire have come even though we have not yet established formal diplomatic relations with the empire?

-You didn’t open the canyon, so how did the imperial children enter Gibraltar? You opened it secretly! It’s treason!!

This will definitely become a rumor.

‘That’s why he’s currently considered a mutant who hasn’t learned to speak.’

In the Empire, white hair symbolizes a girl with royal blood, but in the Kingdom, it is a color close to a mutation.

So I had to hide it properly.

Rumors spread that a number of white-haired girls have gathered in Gibraltar, and we must control this to prevent people from saying that they are children of the empire.

Hair can be hidden.

‘I saw something white right away, but I can’t explain it.’

Even if you can’t change the roots of your hair, you can dye your hair color using dye.

‘But language doesn’t work.’

Although they come from the empire, everyone except a very small number of people should understand them as orphans of the kingdom.

‘Not only for now, but in the future as well, I hope people will misunderstand that I’m from the kingdom.’

Unless you can at least speak the Kingdom language appropriate for your age, you should not hang out with children from existing orphanages.

-Young master. These kids are so smart it’s scary. Everyone is already speaking the language of a 10-year-old?

However.

Fortunately.

-At this level, there won’t be any major problems with hanging out with the children at the orphanage! Daily conversation will be sufficient!

As Lady Myrddin regularly reports, the Whites began to acquire the Kingdom language quite quickly.

-About your origins?

-Each child made it differently, and they understood it well! Even if we’re from the same area, you won’t find it strange!

They even learned the background information about their fake hometown from Lady Myrddin, and the children were instantly treated as orphans from the kingdom.

Because we prepared thoroughly?

Not only that, but the children themselves were somewhat prepared.

‘They’re such clever guys.’

It turned out that everyone was secretly pretending not to know the kingdom language.

‘But. Chairman Erwin selects children to send to the kingdom, but he probably did not send children who could not speak the kingdom language at all.’

Everyone knew the basics.

In order to be chosen by Erwin, he studied the kingdom language to some extent, but when he came here, he was acting like he didn’t know the kingdom language at all.

‘Even if you’re of imperial blood, there’s no way you can learn the language that quickly. And all 9 of them.’

Our innocent Lady Mirdin must be afraid that she is teaching geniuses.

But she has no intention of revealing her detailed story.

The whites are smart enough to hide their weapons.

The value of use increases, and if you make it your limb rather than the crown prince’s spy, it will soon become your shadow.

‘Not bad. I rather like it.’

Talent is guaranteed.

Half of the blood flowing through the body is the crown prince’s blood, and the other half is the blood of pretty or capable women.

‘Any talented limb is always welcome.’

If Chairman Erwin’s blood is said to be master-level talent, then these are people who have at least intermediate-level, to put it bluntly, low-level knight level talent.

‘If you have the benefit and hope of being on my side enough to overcome the fear of the imperial family, there is no blade more reliable than this.’

Make white people on my side.

As a result of coming up with several plans for him.

Although it was a little annoying, I decided to take advantage of the suggestion of my beloved younger brother, Noir Gibraltar.

-Brother. The kids keep saying they want to talk to them…

Children who are captured by the beauty of white people take advantage of the youth who want to say hello in some way.

-Okay? Then gather all the kids together. No. I have to instruct the orphanage director to gather in the auditorium.

-Uh, really?

-I’ll tell your father, so you can bring the trainees to the orphanage tomorrow. In the morning.

– Really?! Can I talk to the kids?

-Of course. Would I make my younger brother feel embarrassed by lying to him like this?

Like that.

-Guys! Tomorrow, something big is coming! What? You don’t need to know! Just look forward to it!

Thanks to Noir’s eloquent words to not only the knight candidates but also the orphanage children.

I was able to gather the children from the orphanage together without much effort.

* * *

“Ah. Everyone, everyone has gathered.”

The main auditorium located on one side of the orphanage building.

There is ample space in the front for 100 children to sit with their butts pressed together.

“The reason we gathered you all together today is nothing more than to answer your questions.”

I got up on the podium and opened my mouth, receiving the attention of all the children of the canyon.

“Everyone gathered together.”

A knight cadet who had to swing a wooden sword in the training hall after completing morning training.

A future alchemist who took care of flowers and studied plants underground.

Future spies who are not talented in martial arts or alchemy but are being taught the imperial academy education system.

Everyone is gathered in the main auditorium and looking up at me.

“Don’t worry. It’s a regular class.”

Some children’s faces brighten.

“There is no special reinforcement. There are times when Lord Hadith, Director Marylee, and Teacher Carls need to rest.”

Although some people are afraid of me standing in front of them, the very act of skipping class arouses their interest and interest.

“Of course, those who don’t listen will be sent underground.”

“Hee, hee hee… !”

“I just happened to have a lot of somnus flowers left.”

One warning is enough.

“Are you used to academy-style classes? You will have to get used to it. For your hopeful future.”

Currently.

“Whether you are a knight of Gibraltar, an administrator, or a deacon, I have no intention of accepting you without the level of ability to pass the exam and the minimum level of sophistication. Make sure you learn well.”

Children at the orphanage take classes according to the imperial curriculum in the morning.

“I will end the nagging here. The reason I have summoned you all today is to introduce certain people.”

Roaring, roaring.

There is a commotion in the quiet auditorium.

The girls look embarrassed, and the boys correct their posture while their eyes light up.

‘Children.’

A creature’s instinctive desire that makes it suppress even its fear of Gray Gibraltar.

“Sir Robert, ask him to come in.”

“Yes.”

Squeak.

The doors to the main auditorium open, and those waiting outside come inside one by one.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk.

11 new girls coming in.

Wearing black and white maid uniforms, they come in with a casual posture and line up behind me.

There was about one girl with blonde hair, not white hair, but she felt like she had a different elegance than the other girls, creating an atmosphere that overwhelmed those around her.

“Hehe.”

One person.

There was a girl who was looking at all the children in the orphanage without any tension, with sparkling eyes, but she just smiled and didn’t say anything.

“I thought a lot about how to introduce these children, but I decided to do it this way. Let me introduce them. They are apprentice maids who will be responsible for managing the orphanage.”

Maid.

Everyone is curious about the word ‘apprenticeship’.

“These are children, just like you, who came to Gibraltar because they had nowhere else to go.”

In other words, it means orphan.

“However, the orphanage is full, and we cannot treat them carelessly out of consideration for the people who entrusted them to us.”

However, they are inherently different from you, so if you mess with them, I will not leave you alone.

“The two here are in my exclusive possession. The one with the blonde hair is Jabes. The one with the silver hair is-“

“Ellie, yes!!”

Astasia raised her hand and introduced herself under the pseudonym ‘Ellie’.

“Gasp…!”

And then, the auditorium stopped.

All the children who had been talking about various things to the apprentice maids a little while ago kept their mouths shut.

Then his eyes started rolling from side to side.

As if watching someone’s notice.

“Ellie.”

“Yes, master!”

“For now, be quiet.”

“Oh, yes! I understand. Hehe.”

When I give Astasia attention, her eyes widen and she looks at me.

“What. Why?”

This is the reaction I was hoping for.

In particular, Ethan’s eyes look the most confused, are the most impressive.

‘As expected, it’s effective.’

A special reaction shown only to Astasia, not shown to others.

Through this, rumors will spread.

Gray Gibraltar made an exception for everything for Eli-Astasia.

The look in his eyes was unusual, and he kept walking next to me.

‘Feel free to pretend you’re in love. That way I feel comfortable.’

If she is recognized as Gray Gibraltar’s exclusive maid, no one will be able to treat Astasia carelessly.

Feel free to be deceived.

I fell in love with Astasia.

So that one day the rumor can cross the canyon and reach the ears of the crown prince in the empire.

‘That may be the greatest value you have in this orphanage.’

Rumors based on children’s prejudices will become a sword that will taint the emperor’s ears and cloud his judgment.

“These maids will manage your lives. Cleaning, laundry, somnus harvesting, etc.”

The moment the role of white people was mentioned, the expressions of some children changed.

‘Anyway.’

Humans always like to divide into classes.

Even within this orphanage, a tendency to look down on the maids creeps in as she feels that others are doing something for her.

However.

“These children will assist you in your lives and become my eyes to monitor, understand, and catch the uncle.”

That base perception is overturned in an instant.

“Please, I hope you don’t do anything that will get me caught.”

Even if they are from the same orphan, their level varies depending on who they belong to.

“Then, let’s introduce ourselves one by one. Marylee. Can I leave the introductions to you and the kids?”

“Yes, I understand. But…”

“Think of this child as your counselor.”

I pointed to number 9 of the maids, White, who was wearing an orange epaulet on his left shoulder.

“This child is their representative. For now.”

“I understand. Master. That.”

Mary Lee very carefully lowered her voice and lowered her head.

“For those two, is it okay to separate construction and construction?”

Merili glanced at Astasia and Naria, and I lightly tapped Merili on the shoulder her.

“That’s correct. If it’s possible, I’ll keep it by my side.”

“I understand. Then, I will take charge of the rest.”

Mary Lee faintly smiled and walked away from me, then walked towards number 9.

‘I’ll take care of it.’

She gave a brief self-introduction every time a new rider came in.

We then held a recreation to get to know each other, and Mary Lee is a veteran who has already conducted it 9 times.

If so.

“Noir?”

“…!!”

Chat Noir, who was sitting quietly in the chair behind him, suddenly stood up.

“You, follow me for a moment.”

“Uh, uh, yes.”

Noir had the most solemn posture, but he followed me out with a squeak.

Squeak.

The moment the door closes.

“…Hyung.”

Noir called me in a very calm voice.

“They, could they-“

“You.”

I turned to Noir, immediately grabbed his shoulder and pushed him against the wall.

“I guess you didn’t just want to introduce it to the knight candidates training with you?”

“…!!”

As expected.

“You.”

The fundamentals of people do not change.

“Are you trying to differentiate between people like that and use women to make you one of your own? Huh?”

Future.

“Follow me.”

How Noir gained the loyalty of his own knights, not the Knights of Gibraltar.

Alcohol. Female. And white silver.

“I will correct that comparative thinking.”

After patting Chat Noir on the shoulder, I pointed to the reception room on the first floor of the orphanage and headed down.

Noir’s expression reflected in the window was literally like a death row inmate being dragged to execution.

* * *

Noir Gibraltar.

A future sword master, and at the same time a being with the notoriety of a ‘debaucher’.

Before returning, my family was all troublemakers.

The expression ‘troublemaker’ is a way to lower the level of family as much as possible, and if it were someone else, I probably would have hurled all kinds of insults at them.

Father, Mother, Noir, Lettar.

Among these, who gave me the most trouble?

It’s impossible to determine superiority or inferiority, but if you count the number of accidents that have occurred every day over the years-

‘You b*stard.’

Nine women were invited to the villa at once.

And this guy changes women once a week.

‘So I fell into the revolutionary army’s trap.’

Although I played promiscuously, I managed it thoroughly, but I tried to thoroughly manage hygiene so that I could have fun.

‘Just like St. Geo did.’

So, I only played with women who had some level of experience.

‘The problem is that this guy heard the story from the emperor and gave away birth control.’

It was pleasure without responsibility.

The responsibility came back to me, the Margrave of Gibraltar.

‘How many people were there?’

In the end, I had to greet women who came to me two or three times a month at the entrance of the mansion and said, ‘I gave birth to Noir Gibraltar’s child.’

There were cases where it was real, and there were people who used it.

‘And then I got hit.’

When I think about it now, it was a designed trap.

‘I never would have thought that a woman of noble blood would kill Noir, and that she would give herself syphilis and be embraced by Noir.’

No one would have thought that such a woman would fall ill herself and be embraced by Noir, or that she would attempt so-called ‘self-destruction’.

‘She’s a scary woman. Really.’

Even the emperor.

Even the princess of a fallen country.

An assassination that even I didn’t expect, in which a woman sacrificed herself to seek revenge.

That’s how Noir suffered and died.

So.

To avoid being like that.

“Noir. Let me start with the conclusion.”

I handed out a list to Noir, who was very frightened.

“You.”

“This is…”

“If there is a child you like among these, choose it in advance.”

“…What are their names?”

List of Whites.

“Maria. Enansi. Gloria… Wow. These… They are such pretty names.”

I memorized the name and complicated background by number, but I immediately memorized this girl just because she was a ‘beautiful girl’.

“But, brother. Suddenly this…”

“From 1 to 9 people. If there are no people, do whatever you want.”

“What?”

“Do whatever you want.”

I am.

“If you like, you can take all nine as wives, or you can just make them your knights’ childhood friends and gain their loyalty.”

“Uh, uh… “

Me too.

“My beloved younger brother, Noir.”

Because the fundamentals of people do not change easily no matter how hard you try.

“Brother, do you think you don’t know what you want?”

“Tongue, bro…!”

Rather, we should set the stage to do better at what we are good at.

“Instead.”

That board must be thoroughly controlled.

“Until you become an adult, just kiss.”

“…”

Noir blushes deeply and lowers her head.

“Key, even a kiss. What does that mean? Haha.”

“Don’t climb up. Don’t be rude.”

Every time Noir made an excuse, he pretended not to know and said something else.

“…”

“Do I have to tell the trivial jokes you make with your students?”

Among the nobles, there are some people like that.

Don’t even think about hanging out with commoners.

“Do you think you didn’t know until now that I knew what you were talking about with those guys?”

And among the nursery technician candidates, there are some who are older than me.

“Me.”

It was the same in the past, and it is the same now.

“I hope I don’t disappoint. Sincerely.”
