I Became a Munchkin Who Hides His Academy Powers

318 – Jeongsil

“Haa… “

Hwivien sighed.

She must have been absorbed in that sigh, and soon Whivienne was lost in her soul and stared blankly into space.

“Huh…” “

Then she sighs deeply again.

It seemed like the series of processes would repeat forever until someone spoke.

A few days ago.

Hwivien has been in that state ever since Ceylon and the five families met in one place.

“It’s true… “

Hwivien muttered.

“It’s cronyism.”

Hwivien muttered.

“Corruption!!!”

Hwivien shouted.

She covered her face with her palms and said, ‘Uh!’

Finally, she threw her body onto the bed in the corner of her room.

Because it was so light, Hwivien’s body was buried in the bed with a small recoil.

Her legs were flailing and she was kicking the bed again and again.

“Corruption!!!”

Hwivien’s struggle only stopped after a while when her energetic strength was all gone.

“… “

Returning to her initial dazed state, Hwivienne lay on her bed like a corpse, staring blankly into space.

“You mean cronyism…?” “

The reason why her Whivienne was in such a strange state right now was obvious to anyone looking at it.

-Ceylon Can I ask you one question?

-If I were to marry all five women, I was planning to decide who would be my wife.

It was because of a question that Leon Liebringer asked Ceylon on behalf of the five families at the previous meeting.

“Marriage… “

What else can you hide and deceive?

Hwivien no longer denied her own feelings.

She loved Ceylon.

She wanted to be with him like this forever, and at the same time, she wanted to do many of her things with him.

But that did not mean marriage.

“I’ve never even imagined it… “

Marriage was a very distant story for Whivienne, who had only just experienced Ceylon for the first time.

“No, imagine…” “I see you tried it.”

Yes. Far away.

Whivienne vaguely thought that if her relationship with Ceylon continued like this, she would one day renew her relationship with him by promising her eternity with her sacred vow. I was thinking.

For Gilmyeon, within 10 years.

In short, not long after she graduates from the academy.

Anyway, one thing is clear.

Hwivien was not paying any attention to the important issue of marriage at the moment.

But such a serious problem suddenly appeared before her eyes.

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but… “

Hwivien is suffering from marriage with Ceylon, but if she were to marry Ceylon as soon as tomorrow, she would be happier than anyone else in the world.

The reason why she is still suffering from marriage with Ceylon.

“… If me. “What if I don’t get chosen?”

What if I’m not the first to be married to him?

This was the real reason why Hwivien suffered.

“Ugh… mother… !!!”

Hwivien suddenly felt resentful of Ravien. She

She decided such an important thing without consulting herself.

Of course I know.

For nobles, marriage is not simply an extension of love.

It is a business to maintain the power and status of the family.

Hwivienne is a great nobleman and the successor of the Leonian family.

She completely understood her mother’s choice.

Great Hero Ceylon.

From the great family’s point of view, he was a talent that must be captured.

What if the family’s successor is not chosen as the royal wife?

It doesn’t matter.

The clear distinction between the positions of the royal family and the concubine is a story from the distant past.

Today, the only thing that distinguishes the first wife from the second wife is the name.

Their powers and rights were substantially the same.

However.

That’s the story if you approach it from a nobleman’s point of view.

If you approach it from a woman’s perspective, the story naturally changes.

Even though the first wife has the same rights as the second wife, there is symbolism in the name of the first wife.

There are many nobles who want to be the concubine of a great nobleman, but there are absolutely not many women who want to be the concubine of the man they love.

All women want to be the faithful wife of the man they love.

So, Hwivien was suffering.

I am afraid that I will not be the first woman chosen by Ceylon.

Hwivienne was never a woman with low confidence.

Rather, she was confident as a woman.

But this time the competition was not good.

Kasha.

Aedrin.

Ms.

More than anything, especially that person.

‘Drink Libringer!’

Let’s leave aside its unrealistic appearance.

Whivien recalled her Ceylon face as she looked at her.

‘That face that makes you want to die of joy!’

As far as Hwivienne knew, of the five women, Drin was the only one who could make Ceylon look like that.

Of course! She was able to make facial expressions that other women could not pull off.

And yet. And yet! She didn’t feel confident at all.

‘Completely flawless… ‘

Libringer was someone who brought out such emotions in others.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have tolerated it a little longer… !”

Hwivien suddenly felt regretful of last night’s reckless behavior.

“They say that men’s interest in women who succeed in their strategy (?) Decreases… “

Compared to her previous days, Whivienne was particularly distressed and struggled.

It was because today was the day of the decisive battle.

-This peace festival, I would like to take the opportunity to bless you and our children.

-Yes. It’s an engagement ceremony.

-Since a festival is a festival, wouldn’t it be better if there were more auspicious events?

-So, can you give me an answer to the question I just asked within a week?

-The festival is not far away, and there are many things to prepare.

-Thank you for your understanding.

In a moment.

The official who received the answer from Ceylon will visit the home of the woman he chose.

To measure the size of a dress, a traditional formal attire worn by women at an engagement ceremony, and to inquire about the person’s taste in dress.

It is no exaggeration to say that all women in the world live only looking at that moment. It was a monumental moment for women.

But.

The main character of that moment is a woman other than me?

Even the partner of the engagement is that man?

At a grand festival attended by people from all over the world, an engagement ceremony is held where the man chooses a woman other than himself to be his wife?

“… “

Sniff.

Before we knew it, tears were welling up in the corners of Hwivien’s eyes.

“What should I do? I should congratulate you… “

Peueeeng!!!

Whivienne cried endlessly like a young bird that had lost its mother.

She should start crying now, so she won’t cry at that auspicious occasion.

Knock knock knock.

-Lady. A guest has arrived.

“… Huh?”

How long has it been since Hwivien devoted himself to the task of expelling all the tears that exist in his body?

Suddenly, her guest visited the Leolian villa where she was staying.

“Who is it… ?”

Until then, I could not even imagine Leolian.

“… Yes? “A dress tailor?”

Hwivien looked at her guest at the Leolian villa with her swollen eyes.

He was a famous tailor who was not known to anyone on the continent.

At the same time, he was the tailor whom Hwivien had chosen to be the tailor for the dress she would one day tailor.

Whivienne blinked her eyes and tried for a while to understand the situation.

After a while.

“aaa!!!!!!!”

The sound of a monster howling rang out near the Leolian Villa for a long time.

***

The day the dress tailor visited the Leonian villa.

Hwivien was troubled.

How should I tell her friends about this?

The opportunity came the next day.

Aedrin, who was the most affable of the five ladies, hinted at a suggestion.

She asked for a delicious dessert, so why not get together and eat it together?

They readily accepted the offer.

“Ah, Miss Kasha! You’re here!”

The meeting took place in the drawing room of the Teln villa located in the academy city of Eteran.

Aedrin vigorously waved her invisible tail.

She welcomed Kasha, who arrived last.

It was the moment when all five ladies gathered together.

“Please! Please sit comfortably!”

Kasha sat down in a comfortable seat as Aedrin said.

There were empty seats on both sides.

Coincidentally, it was also located across from Whivien.

Hwivien, who had been drinking tea elegantly, frowned and looked.

Kasha also had her signature rotten smile on her face.

“Why do you have to sit across from me?”

“Why? If I could sit where I wanted out of these many seats, I would of course have to sit where I could have the honor of facing the great Lady Leolian. No way, I’m sitting here because I feel comfortable with no one on either side of me. Would you have sat down?”

“…Why do I have to be sarcastic by stretching it out so much when I could just say that I sat down because there were empty seats on both sides?”

“You said something about where you sit, and now you say something about people talking. That’s good. While you’re at it, let me give you my name-“

As soon as they saw each other face to face, they started bickering as naturally as breathing.

As always, it seemed like there was a fight going on for a while-

“… No, it’s done.”

Kasha awkwardly avoided Hwivien’s gaze.

“That is correct. “There was no need to be so sarcastic.”

“???”

“???”

“???”

Drin, Miz, and Aedrin looked at Kasha with faces as if they were fascinated.

That Kasha Hanahan apologized!?

That too to Hwivien!?

Even from a third party’s perspective, it’s that much, but the person involved must be embarrassed.

‘Why is this person so disgusting?’ !?’

Hwivien tried to talk to Kasha, slapping her disgusted head.

I wonder if I ate something wrong in the morning.

By any chance, what are you talking about?

“… !”

But I remember it at that moment.

The reason for attending this meeting today.

And, in fact, the reason why everyone gathered here.

‘Ah.’

Hwivien realized the reason why Kasha was acting so uncharacteristically.

Yesterday. A dress tailor visited Leolian’s villa.

That meant that the dress tailor did not visit the other four women.

Kasha must be out of her mind from the shock.

Hwivien saw Kasha again.

In the meantime, I can’t believe you attended today’s meeting as if nothing had happened.

Probably so as not to ruin the mood.

It is a consideration that ensures that the chosen person can be purely happy.

“… No. “If you think about it, I started the argument first, and you just responded.”

“… “Is that so?”

“… Yes”

What should I do with this atmosphere!?

Hwivien screamed inwardly.

B. I was chosen by that man.

How can you bring up that story in this current atmosphere?

‘Now that I think about it, what about other people?’

Hwivien followed Kasha and looked at the reactions of others.

“… “

Miz put on her mask without saying a word.

“… “

Ha. hahahaha…

As Aid Lin smiled awkwardly, she fidgeted.

“… “

Dryn closed her eyes and lost herself in her thoughts.

Her calm face was unusually distorted by her agony.

‘What should I do!!! How can I say that in this atmosphere… !’

Before they were competitions to Whivienne, they were close friends.

When Hwivien saw their sad appearance, her heart broke.

She was so happy just a moment ago-

I also felt ashamed of myself for boasting about showing off in front of them.

“Huh…” “

Before I knew it, Hwivien was sobbing.

“Hwi, Miss Hwivien… Heehee… “

Seeing Hwivien crying, Aedrin burst into tears that she had barely been holding back.

She got up from her seat and approached Hwivien, her companion.

“I’m sorry…” Sorry… “

As Ade Lin repeated those words, she gently hugged Hwivien.

“Oh, no… I, I am more sorry, Miss Aedrin… “

Soon, the two embraced each other and wailed.

“… “

Miz took out another of her masks and put it on like an eyepatch.

“Ha, sir… “

Kasha’s eyes turned red.

“… Everyone.”

Drin opened her eyes.

There were thick clouds inside her infinitely clear walls.

She opened her mouth with difficulty.

“I have something to tell you.”

“No!”

Hwivien urgently tried to dissuade him from doing so.

It must be known.

Before she congratulates someone who doesn’t know who she is!

“The amount given! Let me say it first. It’s okay… ?”

“… No. Ms. Whivien. No. “Please let me speak first.”

“Why, why are you doing that? hehehehe… “

Aedrin participated in the war.

“If everyone, everyone, everyone does that… I, I, I, I-… Heee… “

“… “I have something to say to everyone.”

Miz said, taking off her wet eye patch (her mask).

“Hi. Hey. Everyone, just wait. Because what I’m saying here is correct.”

Whivien said, wiping away her tears.

“No- why on earth is everyone doing that? Really… !”

In Hwivienne’s eyes, it seemed as if they were trying to kill her own feelings and bless her friends.

And.

Even in their eyes, Hwivienne seemed like she was trying to kill her own feelings and bless her friends.

“… What?”

At the same time, they felt something was wrong with each other.

“… “

Whivien watched them for a moment and carefully opened her mouth.

“Everyone. It’s nothing else… Yesterday, a dress tailor came to my mansion… “

“… You also?”

“Yes? I beg your pardon?”

Hwivien looked at Kasha.

“Hwi, Ms. Hwivien… ?”

“??”

Hwivien and Kasha looked at Aedrin.

“Lady Teln too… ?”

“???”

Hwivien, Kasha, and Aedrine looked at Miz.

Then I looked at Drin.

Perhaps you too?

“… For your information, we also visited our residence. “Dress tailor.”

“… “

They took turns looking at the faces of the other four friends for a while as if they were broken.

***

A week has passed since the day the five ladies met.

It was the day when the Peace Festival began.

The five ladies were in the midst of preparing for the engagement ceremony, each wearing the dresses they had prepared.

A waiting room prepared for the royal family at the Grand Assembly-

So, in the same waiting room.

“… “

The dressers in charge of dressing up different ladies occasionally glanced at each other while concentrating on their work.

Does anyone know what kind of situation this is?

“Ha… “

The moment she saw the reactions of the dressers, a young lady sighed deeply.

Judging from their reactions, it was obvious that the heads of the family would react the same way when they see this situation.

A young lady sighed deeply and muttered.

“A truly crazy person… “
