LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 79. Siblings of the Pernil family (1) I thought about going on an outing to the royal capital again.
reason? just because i want to play
I have already turned fifteen.
I'm at the age where I like to play and I just want to go out. Not so.
“Even so, it is too sudden.”
“How many years are you saying you’ve served me?”
“It’s the second year now.”
Asha, who accompanied me as an escort, sighed.
hmm? Is it already 2 years? time goes fast
“How are you? It’s not even a day or two that I do this.”
Suddenly, in the morning, I said, “I will go to the royal capital for a while. You will accompany me too.”
It is proof that I am getting used to the attitude of accepting that I suddenly go out on a whim or commit something to decorate something.
“Today is something important, so you even used a teleport scroll?”
Asha asked with a slightly serious look.
Normally, when I go to the royal capital, I usually ride a carriage or something, but today I deliberately used a teleport scroll.
He seems to have guessed that this would not be a normal thing since he used even the cheapest magic scroll without hesitation.
Well... these days, since I keep preparing only serious things, do you think it's natural to think that I'm preparing something again?
“Did you tell me? I just came out for personal business today.”
he doesn't know me yet
If it's just to play, I'll spend a lot of expensive teleport scrolls.
And in fact, sometimes even sneaking out of the castle wastes scrolls.
No one knows because it hasn't been noticed until now.
These days, he secretly practiced space movement magic, so the proportion of scrolling will soon decrease.
well that happened
“So where are you going today?”
“To buy erotic books at a large bookstore in the capital.”
There may or may not be a series of fantasy erotic books that the owner sells only to trusted customers.
“…Let’s go back.”
Asha sincerely grabbed my wrist and took me away on the spot.
Suddenly, it seemed to end as soon as I went out.
“I'm kidding.”
“Did your eyes look serious?”
“Do you think I will take you, Asha, to buy something like that?”
I went secretly
Or did she come with Seina or Dia?
It has always been and will always be.
“It’s a joke. I've got something else to do for a while. Really.”
When I appealed with bright eyes, Asha let me go, as if she trusted me.
“Where are you?”
“It won't be far. In the first place, I set the coordinates before using the scroll.”
I only looked at the map and took the coordinates, so it seems that the location is subtly misaligned, but it won't be that far.
I took the lead, and Asha followed after me, and after walking for a while, I immediately saw the goal.
“Here!”
You've come to the right place.
“…Arell-sama? What kind of joke are you talking about?”
“Hey profit!'?”
It was a big deal.
The gaze from our female knight is very cold.
It's just that it's more like a feeling of bewilderment than angry.
I'd rather just tell the truth here.
“No, that's... No matter how much, I wonder if this isn't it.”
He said scratching his cheek.
The place where I stopped was the Royal Academy located in the royal capital.
Basically, it is a kingdom-approved educational institution that teaches children of nobles.
.... I know.
I should have been there to know
The education of a child from a truly noble family is usually hired by a private tutor, but not entrusted to such a place.
In the end, the reality is that those who attend this place are nobles of a certain level or lower.
Really precious bodies go to places like this.
The important thing is that Asha's younger brother enrolled here.
“Asha, I heard your younger brother enrolled here? But isn't it a little bit strange that you never come to see it?”
Actually, I asked Ashane's family situation once when I had the chance before.
Also, I'm sorry to the person himself, but I already knew because I had done a background investigation.
After the family stumbled once, she became a knight to feed the family.
After struggling here and there, he became my escort knight.
And they followed me to Fahilia.
Even though he thinks that his life is full of ups and downs once in a while.
It wasn't just her, but the others, too, didn't stand out that much because they had a little life.
In addition, these days, the salary I give has gone up quite a bit, so I know that the family situation has improved, so I didn't have much to worry about.
It may be too much for Asha, but being a noble without money is surprisingly common.
By the way...
I tried to give Asha a vacation before.
At that time, Asha refused, saying she was busy now.
This is because Asha has never returned to her hometown since being assigned to this side.
Even so, it seemed like they were exchanging letters.
Rumors of a possible war soon began to circulate within the kingdom.
It must have been conscious because I, not anyone else, was preparing the most diligent countermeasures.
“If your younger brother had enrolled here, wouldn’t it be okay to come see him at least once, even if it wasn’t for vacation?”
What if I was in Asha's shoes?
would have run at once.
Day? Fuck the x yeah!
And the working environment under me is not so black?
Of course there is a position, so I know that I can't do it like that.
But if it were me, I could understand and give you time.
If you're short on time, you can also give them a teleport scroll.
I have a lot of acknowledgment.
If I didn't think so, I'd be a bit shocked too.
Was working under me that black...
no, I sang a black black song, but that was a joke.
“...Ha, but everyone is busy....
I can't take a break, can I? Besides, Arell-nim is busy too.”
me? Are you playing secretly?
Every day, you secretly leave your work to someone else and play around?
“It seemed like I couldn't allow that much... It's sad... I
deliberately pretended to look up at the sky as if I was sad, and muttered.
A slightly empty gaze is the point.
When I pretended to be really sad, Asha was really flustered.
“It's not like that! Just...
“just?”
“Everyone is busy…. It’s a bit too much for me to be alone…
“Ehh, don’t be stubborn with just that.”
....This is why too much diligence can become poison. No wonder.
Yes, it's all because of what the Three Kingdoms Alliance is.
Let's make them look bad. yes they are wrong You guys are bad okay?
That's why I was going to personally take Asha to meet her younger brother.
Actually, if you ask them to come and go, there is a possibility that they will refuse because they are stubborn.
It's a bit like pushing something like this with an order.
So I came myself.
As long as she's an escort, it's her job to follow me when I come.
....In my true heart, I also want to take a look at the academy or something.
It's all for the sake of my subordinates!
I, who thinks of letting my subordinates meet my younger brother, is truly the true owner! huh! Not to mention that I'm a real, true superior!
Yeah, it's never boring.
It's boring to just roll around in the castle, so sometimes I go somewhere else...
No, I didn't think I was going to play.
Ego? Then what shall we go and play?
....No. How can I get him to meet his younger brother, Shaliang?
? ? ?
No matter how much I'm a prince, I don't have that many powers.
There was no power that would make it okay to roam the inside of the Royal Academy without any reason.
Above all, if you play a game for no reason, your father will be second to you and your mother will scold you.
In other words, it doesn't matter if you go around as long as there is a reason.
I walked alongside Asha and explained why I was allowed to roam here.
“…Did you say you wanted to refer to the academy’s educational environment?”
“that's right. I wanted to see the educational environment of the prestigious Royal Academy, so I asked to see it for myself.”
It was an excuse to say that someday, when our territory grows, we have to give the people of the territory a minimum education.
‘Actually, I don't need it.'
If it was necessary in the first place, I referred to it once upon a time.
It's true that this place is famous as one of the best educational institutions in the kingdom, but to be honest, if it's evaluated as a facility for pure educational purposes, it's below my standards.
In the first place, the aristocrats' educational institution was not a place to learn academics purely.
‘Actually, it's a place for networking.'
The core of the aristocracy's power is money and personal connections.
To that end, we throw social parties on fictitious days, build networks, and exchange lucrative information.
So, where does a young aristocrat, before jumping into the social world, build those connections?
here it is for
Friendships are formed from childhood and carried on into adulthood.
‘...Even though it wasn't founded for that reason in the first place.'
The history of this place is said to be deep.
It is said that the first king directly insisted on the necessity of education and established it.
However, between then and now, the form and... the contents seem to have changed.
As the years change, no matter how noble the purpose is, it changes.
That's a boring explanation.
In short, I intend to find Asha's younger brother here.
Since this is a dormitory system, once you enter, it seems difficult to come out until the vacation period, which is given once a year.
Of course, I could kindly ask for it, but there's no way Asha, who is naive, would be pleased with that.
So I'm about to pretend I'm out to play and let them meet.
....And personally, I'm curious about what kind of kid Asha's younger brother is.
In the end, it means that 75% of my pure interest and 25% of consideration for my subordinates were mixed.
“So, I’m going to look around on my own. Asha, you don’t have to worry about it either.”
“I see.”
In the end, Asha, who could not overcome my argument, nodded.
So, we set out to find the little brother first.
I asked about the lecture schedule here in advance, so I know roughly where it will be by now.
I secretly gave the dean here some of the new upgraded hair loss pills that hadn't been released yet.
I wondered what it would be like to have someone as the dean who could explain all the lecturers and noble children's classes just for that.
He said that after the theory class, he would come out of the building where the lecture room is located.
“Ah, now that I think about it, I don’t even know what Asha’s younger brother looks like… I have to
look around to find a kid I don’t even know, and all I see is a strange boy and his escort driver.
Ask Asha about her younger brother's appearance.
“You will know right away when you see it. I’ve heard a lot of people say that I look a lot like me.”
“Is that usually just a greeting?”
Why do you always say this when you take your kids? Oh hey, who does he resemble?
Buy all of them didn't look like
“And unlike me, he’s an honest and kind younger brother.”
“Hmm, I think Asha is also quite direct and has a good personality, right?”
“You're making a weird joke again.”
“Isn’t it true?”
than that Seeing that she is talking about her younger brother now, fortunately, the relationship between them seems not bad.
Well, seeing as Asha used the money she earned to advance to the academy on her own, there can be no bad relationship.
As a younger sister...
Strangely enough, most of my family relationships have been shitty over the course of my life so far, so it's hard to understand all of Asha's feelings.
Honestly, even if I understand it in my head, it doesn't reach me well in my heart.
With that thought in mind, when I moved my steps again.
“....ah.”
Asha groaned softly.
