Amelia, who returned to the mansion, opened Lloyd’s door in one step. I promise myself that I will never let this go.
“Lude Christopher.”
Amelia was really angry that she even called Ruid by his middle name.
But—
as soon as I entered the room, what I saw was Ruid covered up with a blanket and only his eyes sticking out.
That was… fatal cuteness.
“….”
Amelia pursed her lips.
The fluffy eyes were so adorable that you wanted to bite them, and the weirdly sticking out hair doubled the cuteness.
‘…What did I come here for?’
Amelia forgot her original purpose!
“This isn’t it. “I almost fooled you.”
Amelia regained her senses by touching her cheek with one hand.
Then, with his eyes focused, he went in front of Ruid and placed his hands on his waist.
“Where have you been?”
“…I was here the whole time.”
Ruid avoided Amelia’s eyes. At the obvious lie, Amelia sat next to the bed with a stern expression.
“Look straight into my eyes. “Did you really not go anywhere?”
“….”
Ruid couldn’t bear to lie. He hesitated and said.
“The Magic Tower of Pisa.”
“What did you do there?”
“…we had a fight.”
“What did your sister say?”
“Never come forward.”
“But why did you come out?”
“I was angry to see the children locked up.”
“Phew.”
Amelia sighed. With a more calm expression, he stroked Luid’s head.
“Luid. I will stand by you no matter what you do. However, I cannot agree to taking risks.”
“…It wasn’t dangerous.”
“Don’t talk back.”
“huh.”
“…Of course, Ruid is so, so strong, so he can’t risk something like that at all.”
Amelia calmly gazed into Lloyd’s eyes.
“But you are too young. “It’s not good for your emotions to touch on this kind of thing yet.”
“…huh.”
Ruid lowered his head sullenly.
‘Still, you’re reflecting.’
Amelia smiled proudly and held out her little finger.
“Promise. “I will never do something dangerous like this again.”
“okay.”
Luid’s small hand caught Amelia’s little finger.
“If anything bothers you, tell your sister. My sister will take care of it. Understand?”
“…are you forgiving me?”
Amelia nodded.
“Of course not.”
But the answer I received was different. Ruid had a puzzled expression.
“You’re grounded for a month, Louis. Even if you come out, don’t disappear from my sight.”
“…!”
Amelia stood up as if she would not allow any objections.
Before leaving, I glanced at Ruid one last time and waved my index finger.
“Even if you act cute, it doesn’t work. Who do you think I am? “This sister is on top of your head.”
And with a victorious smile on his face, he closed the door and left.
Ruid stared at the door for a long time with an expression of resentment.
‘Isn’t this working? Should I come up with a different pattern?’
The 14th sibling fight this year… Amelia won.
**
Hercy visited Ruid’s mansion for the first time in a while.
Miho, who was now resting on Hercy’s shoulder, seemed quite comfortable.
“Aren’t you sad that I’m not around Ruid often?”
Miho was by Hercy’s side most of the time. It wasn’t Ruid’s order. This is because Miho received permission from Ruid, asking, ‘Can I stay by Hercy’s side for a while?’
[But, it’s boring around the master. I was trapped in a bead for 500 years. I want to see the world a little more.]
“Oh, that’s right.”
[So, Ruid is a very good master. They respect my opinion. I am always grateful.]
“Hmm…”
Rather than respect, it was more likely that they were forgetting their very existence. But Hercy just laughed and didn’t say anything.
In front of the mansion, Sherry was seen cleaning the garden. Sherry stopped cleaning and bowed briefly. As Hercy bowed, Sherry opened the door to the mansion.

“Luid…?”
With blank eyes, Hercy looked at Luid, who was sleeping under a blanket and a pillow in the middle of the mansion’s red carpet.
Perhaps because he sensed that he was being popular, Ruid slowly opened his eyes.
“hi.”
…and slept again.
Hercy crouched down in front of Ruid with weak steps.
“You’re sleeping in an unusual place today.”
“Sometimes I have to change my bed to sleep well.”
Ruid couldn’t sleep so he opened his eyes again.
I slowly got up and wrapped myself in a blanket. Hercy followed behind Ruid.
“long time no see.”
It’s already too late to say it now, but I wasn’t embarrassed because this was Ruid’s way of speaking.
“long time no see.”
It had been about five days since Hercy came to the mansion. A lot of things had happened in the meantime, but there was also a midterm exam.
Since Hersy is a man who makes sure to do his own thing, I haven’t been able to stop by for a while.
Ruid entered the guest room and almost jumped onto a high chair.
When I arrived, Sherry, who followed behind, was making tea.
“Hmm.”
Hersi came today with a purpose. He cleared his throat and made a subtle suggestion.
“I found a delicious dessert shop nearby… would you like to go?”
Hersi spoke with great courage. That’s because I’ve never done anything like suggest someone to have dessert.
I waited for Ruid’s answer with a very nervous expression.
“sorry.”
Hercy’s heart seemed to drop. She struggled and waved both hands.
“Oh, no. “There’s no need to apologize…”
“I’m a foreigner.”
“yes?”
“No going out.”
Sreuk. Sherry put the car down without a sound. Hersy bowed his head politely.
Sherry went to the door and stood stiffly with her hands folded.
“You’re not allowed to go out… Are you Luid?”
“I broke my promise.”
Ruid sipped and drank black tea.
‘What, it’s not that I didn’t like it.’
Hercy blinked when he realized that the rejection wasn’t his fault.
“For some reason, Amelia didn’t seem to be in a good mood. Did you have an accident? But it’s surprising.”
“what.”
“…I didn’t think Ruid would care about that one bit.”
“Pay attention to 2. That’s right, because we are family.”
Ruid added one more word.
“And Windsor has a strict hierarchy.”
“Hierarchy…?”
“There are all noble families. “Isn’t there Hercy?”
“Oh, no, of course I have that too. “I thought Windsor would be different.”
The Windsor family looks harmonious, but the hierarchy is strict.
Ruid was a special case, but he is not out of this situation. First place is Mom, second place is Irene, and third place is Amelia.
In other words, Amelia was clearly a superior. … I don’t tend to get treated like that, though.
Anyway, Ruid had no intention of going against it. That is an act that breaks respect for Amelia.
“How about the academy? “Something must have happened.”
“I’m still here to tell you that.”
Hersi brought up a topic that would normally have been discussed at a dessert shop.
“It wasn’t even a fuss. “How on earth did Ruid find the warlock?”
Hercy cried out. About the stormy events at the Academy over the past week. To be precise, about the resignation of the president.
**
President Clifford Finance announced his resignation.
He made a bombshell statement at a regular meeting that he was handing over all authority to Phenicia Finance.
“That’s not possible!”
The response came immediately. The result was that all academy professors opposed it.
“I am also against it. “I’m still not good enough, President.”
Phenicia was still 24 years old. He is too young, and although his abilities are outstanding, he has not yet received the position of vice-chancellor.
The vice-chancellor’s position was vacant, and since she was the next vice-chancellor, everyone thought she was the vice-chancellor.
That’s how big the gap in perception was. The president of the academy had to be a wizard with a certain level of experience or an archmage.
“It has already been decided.”
“Please at least tell me the reason!”
“I am a foolish adventurer who awakened a sleeping dragon.”
“yes?”
It was a noise that came out of nowhere. Only Phenicia barely understood.
“President. “You’re being too self-deprecating.”
“It’s not a disparagement.”
Clifford spoke in a heavy tone.
“What do I need to protect as president of the Imperial Academy? It is processing gemstones. However, I missed seeing a gem that was already perfectly processed. It’s no different from a blind person who has opened his eyes, so how can he continue to be in this position? I must have already reached old age and lost my ability to judge. “My conclusion is that I resign before my judgment becomes further impaired.”
“….”
Clifford was the spiritual leader of the professors. Even though he has a slightly dirty personality, he always provides a clear solution to any confusing situation. He was a good leader. The good leader’s story resonated, but it was not easy to accept.
This was especially true for Clifford’s eldest daughter, Phenicia.
“…little bit more.”
Phenicia lowered her head. I didn’t want to be caught crying.
“Please stay by my side just a little longer.”
There was deep silence in the hall.
But Clifford’s resolve did not waver.
In the silence, he wrote down a letter of resignation saying he was resigning from the post of Commander-in-Chief.
It was a letter addressed to the emperor.
**
Lucius was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed and reading the letter with a crooked gaze.
In front, Guardian Knight Galahad Ryan was prostrate.
“President Clifford’s resignation. “Is there a replacement?”
“I can assure you, there is none.”
“I guess so. “The Count Feinens family has served as president ever since its establishment.”
The emperor tapped the solid gold armrest with a steady sound.
“Phenicia Finensra. I understand that you have to learn the job under the president for at least ten years, but is Jim’s knowledge wrong? “Tell me, sir.”
“Your Majesty’s knowledge is never wrong. “Because the center of the world is Your Majesty, the principles of the world are also decided by Your Majesty.”
“what the. “If I’m going to flatter you the same way as other nobles, why am I chatting with you?”
“…If you feel uncomfortable, I will correct it. But, this Galahead!!! I’m risking my life to tell you this! “Not a single lie!”
“It’s loud, it’s loud.”
“S-sorry.”
“Raise your head.”
Galahad raised his head as if he was sorry.
The emperor said, resting his chin.
“What do you think the old man’s intentions were?”
Lucius always likes to ask questions and chat with his subjects. He never reveals his intentions first.
This was because the emperor was concerned that speaking first would make it difficult for his subjects to say the right thing.
This is to check if there is anything you may have missed. Galahad, who knows this well, desperately put his brain to work and came up with a solution.
“Well, I’m old too. “Don’t you want to take a break?”
“You’re 111 years old? “It’s still a while.”
“…Your Majesty, when does retirement age come??”
Galahad was genuinely curious.
“A month before I died.”
Lucius expressed his opinion as if it were a joke but sincerely.
“You probably want to put our cutie Ruid back into the academy. If he says he resigns, he believes he will come back. I will probably send a letter to Ruid right after I resign. Ruid has a soft side, so he will accept it. At least he will return to the academy, and if he does well, he may even say he will come to the academy to prevent the president’s resignation. “He is not an easy old man after all.”
“…Are you saying you’re doing that because of Prince Ruid?”
“okay. A piece of rice cake rolled in and went out on its own, and who wouldn’t regret it? I’m a senile old man who loves fame and money the most in the world. “If things continue like this, they’ll think I can’t even enter the coffin in my right mind.”
Lucius looked at the document with a bored gaze.
Galahad asked curiously.
“So, you’re not accepting that resignation?”
“no. I will accept it. Jim also agrees with Clifford’s intentions.”
It was better for Ruid to belong to the Academy, both for the sake of the nation and for personal reasons.
It was a blessing that the Windsors’ child was in the system for four years.
You can secretly force the 3rd princess into marriage.
“Hmm… But he’s a 24-year-old president.”
Lucius didn’t seem to particularly like that part.
I lightly threw the document into the air. He said as he stood up.
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to just order him to be Ruid? Whether he’s 24 or 12, that’s it.”
“…!”
Galahad’s eyes widened at the emperor’s unconventional words.
