“I see the sun of the empire.”
Amelia, oblivious, got down on one knee.
“What are you talking about, Amelia? “I am Inglencia, Luid’s cousin…”
“Please give me your name.”
But it wasn’t just because he was clueless. As a knight, she could not comply with the emperor’s intentions.
“Your Majesty?”
“Get out of the way. I’ve seen John An before. Wow… it’s real! “Your Majesty the Emperor!”
“….”
I seriously had no intention of hiding it. They also came as encouragement. But I didn’t want to get caught until I talked to Ruid.
‘Why are knights so inflexible?’
Lucius quenched his appetite.
**
“I wasn’t able to fully congratulate you on the warlock incident, but there’s one more thing to reward. Jim’s magic knights just eat away at their salaries. You do more than all of them, Ruid. “If there’s anything you want, just say it.”
‘burden.’
Ruid hid behind Amelia.
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t receive any compensation for ruining the briefing session. When will the treasure trove come?”
“I was planning to go in the winter.”
“I didn’t come here disappointed.”
“…Because Your Majesty is busy.”
“If you come, of course I can clear your schedule for that day. “A pretty niece comes to visit who only helps the empire. Is that a lot of work?”
“Luid. “Be rude in front of Your Majesty.”
Amelia held Lloyd’s hand and made him sit next to him.
“Don’t be so hard, Amelia.”
Lucius scoffed and laughed.
“We’re not that kind of relationship, are we?”
The emperor was on good terms with the Windsor family, to the point where they occasionally joked around. This was generally true of past emperors, but Lucius had a more severe tendency to do so.
“Because this is a system. “We must protect His Majesty’s dignity.”
The emperor must not be friendly with any nobleman. A minimum distance must be maintained. However, the only place where you didn’t have to pay attention was Windsor Castle.
Even Amelia, who is so hard-hearted, becomes much more relaxed when she meets the emperor at Windsor Castle.
“By the way, for what reason did you visit? “It would be difficult if you came suddenly like this without any schedule.”
“I came here to familiarize myself with the faces of children who might become my knights in the future. “I’ll give you some encouragement too.”
Ruid was able to bet the piece of baguette left over from yesterday that the emperor’s words just now were false.
Lucius made eye contact with Ruid, who was full of doubt, and smiled softly.
“What are you doing these days?”
Ruid felt a slight pinch on his thigh. I looked to the side and saw Amelia watching with spinning eyes. Although he was smiling on the outside. Still, I could tell that she was my real sister.
-Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me.
…It seemed desperate, so Ruid decided to take a look.
“sleep.”
“You don’t have anything special to do?”
Ruid almost answered “yes” out of habit, but quickly made up his mind.
‘What is this ominous feeling?’
“no. I’m busy.”
“…sleeping?”
“I’m researching.”
Ruid tightened his eyes. It was to make it seem a little more credible.
The emperor looked at Ruid as if he was cute.
“This is the research of a genius wizard. It must be worth a lot of money. What kind of research are you doing? “I’m just curious, so feel free to tell me.”
Ruid spit out whatever was in his mouth.
“A study of moving freely within a dream while being aware that it is a dream.”
“Wow, that’s an interesting topic. “Is such magic possible?”
“You can do it without having to use magic.”
Lucius’ eyes widened.
“Is that possible?”
“Yes, anyone can do it.”
Ruid was an expert on sleep. Lucid dreaming was his specialty.
“That’s really interesting. “What is the name of the study?”
“Lucid dream.”
“Haha, the research idea is good, but your naming sense is terrible. “How about Luid Dream?”
“….”
Ruid remained silent and spoke at the Emperor’s desperate naming sense.
“Anyway, I’m busy.”
“If you’re doing such incredible research, you must be busy. “I was going to ask you something, but I guess I can’t help it.”
“yes. “I’m really busy.”
‘As expected, it was a landmine.’
There was no doubt that he was trying to get me to do something. Ruid was relieved.
“Can you tell me what I was trying to ask of Ruid?”
At that time, Amelia asked seriously. It was thanks to the consideration of the imperial family that Windsor was able to live peacefully in the empire without any checks.
Even though the tip of Windsor’s sword is always pointed at the monsters of the North, the fact that it ultimately has a private army that is too strong for a single family to possess does not change.

This was impossible without the emperor’s permission. And that permission is granted based on infinite trust in the Duke of Windsor. The idea was that this was only possible if there was confidence that Windsor was a loyal family.
Naturally, Windsor was in a position to respect the emperor. We must not cause even the slightest disappointment to the emperor.
“Hmm, it seems like Ruid doesn’t like it, so what can I ask for?”
Lucius smirked.
“It can’t be. There is no way Ruid would dislike His Majesty’s orders.”
Amelia stroked Lloyd’s head in the right posture.
Ruid glared at Amelia.
‘They said don’t tell me if you lose. We’ll see.’
“Then, can I ask you a favor?”
Amelia smiled brightly as she looked at Ruid.
Ruid felt pressured and had no choice but to answer.
“…yes.”
“It’s nothing special.”
Lucius spoke in passing.
“I’d like you to serve as president of the academy for just a few years.”
“Yeah… it’s nothing special.”
Ruid paused for a moment and thought deeply.
Amelia also blinked.
“???”
The two looked at each other, very embarrassed.
**
smart. Amelia knocked on the door with a downcast face.
“Luid…?”
Ruid, who was on the other side of the door, said nothing.
Amelia fidgeted and knocked on the door again.
“I’m sorry… my sister wasn’t paying attention.”
“….”
“I’m going in…?”
Amelia turned the doorknob.
Crash.
But the door was locked.
‘I guess I’m really upset.’
Amelia broke into a cold sweat.
After the emperor visited. I still can’t forget Ruid’s resentful eyes.
“Well, if you don’t like it, His Majesty said it’s okay. “If you refuse.”
-liar.
A small voice was heard. There was no way Amelia would miss that.
In fact, it was unreasonable to refuse now that he had agreed to grant the emperor’s request.
Moreover, being president of the academy was a tremendous honor. … It’s a bit absurd.
In other words, from the emperor’s perspective, this was no different from a reward. However, it was important to Ruid that it was not a reward.
I habitually bite my nails.
‘What should I do? After all, it’s the thing I hate the most.’
What Ruid hated most was troublesome work. The academy president was the worst in that regard.
“It’s true, Ruid. If you hate it that much, my sister will do something. “Can you please open this door?”
Amelia said earnestly.
Crash. Squeak….
The door opened. Amelia breathed a sigh of relief and went inside. Ruid was covered in a blanket all the way to his head.
“…What are you going to do?”
I heard a voice from inside the blanket.
“All we have to do is prevent the president’s resignation. Because that’s the cause of everything.”
Ruid stuck his head out.
“you can do it?”
“I’ll do something, sister.”
To be honest, Ruid was untrustworthy.
“My sister is an idiot.”
“…I’m not stupid.”
“You’re stupid.”
Ruid went back into the blanket.
“Jeez, it’s true. “I will do my best to prevent the president’s resignation.”
Amelia said in a panic.
Ruid stuck his head out of the blanket again.
“Are you confident? If you don’t have it, I’ll do it. “The president won’t do anything even if it kills him.”
It was Ruid who didn’t want to move himself.
Amelia clenched her fists and made a promise.
“I will definitely stop it.”
“Then I forgive you.”
Ruid went back into the blanket. In short, it was a strong sign of protest telling them not to talk to each other until the problem was resolved.
**
“I don’t have the qualifications to be president. Don’t you think so too? Amelia Windsor.”
Amelia, who immediately went to the president’s office, was slightly taken aback by the reaction that was more stubborn than expected.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“It’s the same as what I just said.”
“…Is it because of Ruid?”
Amelia comforted the president in her own way.
“If you’re going to regret it, you shouldn’t have even started.”
“Are you here to salt?”
“….”
Amelia pursed her lips. As expected, there was no good sound.
But the promise to Ruid was more important than anything else.
“No matter who was the president, Ruid would not have stayed at the academy. Because there were a lot of annoying students. “It’s not necessarily the president’s fault.”
“It’s not just the problem of that bastard. Of course, it had a great effect, but-”
Clifford said bitterly.
“It’s an idea I’ve had for a long time. “I tried to hand over the position of president to Phenicia as soon as possible.”
“Wait…!”
Amelia was indignant when she heard the story.
“But why was Ruid offered the position of president?”
“what?”
Clifford was dumbfounded by the story he heard for the first time.
“What are you talking about? “The rector will be passed on to Phenicia.”
“no. “His Majesty offered the position of president to Ruid.”
“…!”
Clifford’s pupils got bigger. But it soon subsided. He smiled and said, “I’m tired.”
“This is the best result for the Academy. Since it won’t be for long anyway, Phenicia can gain more practical experience as vice president. This is a very good thing. “Your Majesty has done something divine.”
“No, that’s not it.”
Clifford said seriously. The corners of his mouth were twitching, so it was clear that he was holding back laughter.
“Is there a more red flag than this? “Amelia, your words just made my resolve stronger.”
‘This old man…!’
Amelia was very feverish.
“You will regret it.”
“regret?”
Clifford shrugged his shoulders.
“Who do you think will regret it? “This.”
“yes?”
“That bastard made me regret by destroying the Academy. Then isn’t it time for you to regret? Haha!”
“….”
“Go back. “Even if it means beating me to death, I have to resign as president.”
Amelia felt like crying.
**
“….”
Ruid quietly recalled what happened earlier.
I came in after drinking a lot.
-Hey, I’m sorry, Ruid. Please forgive.
He said drunkenly. It seems like a failure.
From the beginning, Amelia didn’t even believe it.
Because in the eyes of Ruid, Amelia was a complete loser other than trying hard.
Ruid decided to use his special move.
I immediately sat down at my desk, opened a piece of paper, and wrote a letter.
-I don’t want to work.
I folded the letter I had finished writing four times and opened the window.
-Shh.
I whistled. Not long after, a large eagle appeared cutting through the wind.
I stroked the eagle’s head.
“It’s been a while, Jefford.”
Jefford is a familiar who delivers letters. To be exact, it was Irene’s familiar.
Ruid placed the letter in its beak and spoke to the eagle.
“Tell mom. ASAP.”
The majestic eagle looked at Ruid and slowly nodded its head. Then, it strengthened its claws and flew away.
