The quickest way to untangle a tangled thread is to break it.
However, if you cut it off because it’s annoying, the skein won’t be usable again.
If the thread is yours, it’s okay, but if it’s someone else’s, a problem arises.
“Prince Luid. Why did they blow up the main building?”
“To break the barrier…”
Ruid spoke weakly. Phenicia had a lot of horns.
Even Vice-Chancellor Phenicia, who usually took Ruid’s side, did not put up a shield in this situation.
“There were about 10 minutes left until the academy faculty terminated the ban. “That’s no excuse.”
Ruid flinched slightly and turned his head.
“sorry.”
“Ha… Anyway, I can’t just get away with something like this. “Not only will it cost you money for repairs, but it will also result in a three-month pay cut.”
“…!”
Ruid has already been banned from receiving pocket money. That was difficult.
“That’s…”
Phenicia’s eyebrows twitched.
“that?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
He drooped his shoulders sullenly. Phenicia, who opened her eyes, put down the document and said.
“The reason it went to this level is because it was Prince Ruid. Please be careful next time.”
“…yes.”
Ruid trudged on.
‘Mom was really angry.’
Victoria was as angry as ever. I didn’t say anything for a long time, but that made me even more scared.
It was the same with Amelia. I followed him because I believed he would solve it well, but he said something harsh, asking if I was betraying his expectations like that.
‘Was I being too harsh?’
I had no choice but to break the barrier, but I did it because I didn’t want to solve this episode myself.
If it was karma, it was karma.
‘Anyway, it’s difficult if you don’t have pocket money.’
Of course, the subspace was connected. However, Ruid was not the kind of kid who would ignore Victoria’s warning and rob the treasure chest again.
Living in the system costs a lot of money. Ruid spent the money almost like it was water.
Now that life is goodbye for the time being.
Ruid had just turned the corner, thinking that he should properly apologize to Amelia.
I don’t know how he knew he was here, but Damon was leaning against the alley with his arms crossed.
“….”
Ruid quietly walked away without saying hello. It was time to pass by.
“Why did they blow up the main building?”
Damon spoke. Ruid stopped walking. I looked up at Damon with a wrinkled expression.
“It’s a mistake.”
“It’s a mistake. “You’re making ridiculous excuses.”
Damon opened his closed eyes. His red eyes looked at Luid.
“I’ll just ask you one thing.”
“huh.”
“What did I do that day?”
“….”
Damon’s words were filled with deep emptiness. Luid’s expression hardened. Damon turned his head and looked into space.
“You destroyed the tower your students worked so hard to build. “Feel guilty that you have wasted the efforts of those who were trying hard.”
Damon walked in the opposite direction as if he wasn’t expecting an answer. Ruid looked at the sky with a blank face.
‘Maybe I thought it was too easy all this time.’
Suddenly, Luid remembered that this was reality, not a novel.

“Captain, your younger brother has arrived.”
Gilbert, who has been awake for nearly 40 hours now due to the so-called ‘Luid’s mistake incident’, said while smoothing out his dark circles.
Amelia blurted out without even looking up.
“Send it back.”
“…Really?”
Gilbert was surprised to see Amelia, who turns into a golden retriever just by hearing Ruid’s words, react that way.
“uh. I guess he’s coming to make a fool of himself again. “I need to take this opportunity to solidify my habits…”
Ppaekkom.
However, Ruid was just peeking his eyes out through the slightly open door. I think I’m watching it secretly, but Windsor is the only one in this world with such clear walls. Amelia sighed deeply.
“I told you not to come look for me. “Let’s talk properly at home.”
Ruid quietly opened the door and came in.
“…I came across this by chance while walking down the street.”
“…How did you come to the swordsmanship museum by chance?”
“Hmm.”
Gilbert cleared his throat and lowered his head.
“I’m going out.”
After Gilbert left, Amelia glared scaryly at Lloyd. Ruid sat on the sofa, quietly avoiding gaze.
“You know pocket money is prohibited, right?”

“huh.”
‘What about money anyway?’
Ruid thought with cat-like eyes. If you make money using your magic skills, you don’t need pocket money. However, Ruid viewed Windsor too poorly.
“He looks like he thinks he can make money somehow.”
“…!”
“The matriarch gave an order. Now is the time to change your spending habits. In the meantime, I was wondering if it was too much. In other words, you will also be subject to Windsor’s rules from now on.”
Ruid opened his eyes wide.
“know? Our family rules. Windsor, who goes out, cannot receive any benefit other than earned income. You can’t sell what you own, and you can’t make money by investing. Of course, Ruid can’t even manage his existing assets. Especially this time, because of the accident, you can’t even accept ‘donations’ that would have been allowed originally. “You have to live solely on the professor’s salary.”
“Well, that’s too much.”
“too bad? too bad?”
Amelia jumped up from her seat.
“too bad?! The one who went too far is Luid. No matter how much of a genius you are, if you made even the slightest mistake, everyone there could have died. Plus you. Why did you lie to your sister? “They said it was a gift from His Majesty, but they stole it from my home’s armory!”
Ruid flinched.
Amelia took a breath, calmed herself down, and sat down.
“Anyway, I know that. “Come to your senses this time.”
Ruid bit his lip in desperate danger.
‘I don’t know anything else, but I can’t survive in this harsh medieval era with a professor’s meager salary.’
I slowly approached Amelia. Without hesitation, I hugged Amelia’s waist. I was held captive in my arms.
Amelia’s entire body stiffened. Ruid looked up at Amelia with watery eyes.
‘Ears, cute.’
It was so cute that my saliva dried up to see a cute kid doing this even when he was still.
“I did it wrong. “I sincerely regret it.”
“….”
“So, can you please speak kindly to your mother? “You won’t receive any calls from me.”
‘Up, it’s dangerous.’
Amelia stroked Ruid’s head and suppressed the desire to shout brightly, ‘Trust me, sister!’ with superhuman patience.
“huh?”
But that… was impossible even for Amelia, who had a mental strength strong enough to be called a swordsman.
Crash.
“…?”
But then, I heard the sound of metal being clicked. Amelia tilted her head to the left. …Luid was secretly unlocking the safe. It was a double device, but when I tried to open it by unscrewing only the first stage, it got stuck.
“…What are you doing?”
Ruid rolled over and did not notice. Before I knew it, I had put away the pitiful expression that looked like I was going to cry at any moment.
“Kabi.”
“hey!”
Amelia shouted.
Ruid said with an indifferent expression.
“Honestly, Sister Ame has no right to say such things. How much did I help my sister? “It’s melong.”
And then I ran hard and left the room.
Amelia made an absurd expression, then her face turned bright red.
“Hey, I’m cheap!”
Amelia thought that she would definitely use this opportunity to correct her misbehaving younger brother.
**
Ruid was lying face down in the window seat of the dessert shop.
‘The apology…there’s no way it was delivered properly.’
Actually, what I really wanted to say to Amelia was, ‘I did it wrong. The words were, ‘I’m truly reflecting.’ That was Ruid’s honest sincerity. But when I actually spit it out…I was embarrassed.
So I just passed it off as a joke. In the end, it only made Amelia angry.
I’ve apologized several times so far, but it’s strange. I apologized because I was really sorry, but my mouth didn’t fall out.
‘What have I done so far?’
It’s a funny thing to say, though. It was only after seeing Damon’s vain expression, with his high self-esteem, that Ruid realized.
Until now, he had only been living in a novel and was not living in reality. The people I care about took it easy and only caused harm. I’ve never seriously considered it.
For the sake of protecting the episode, I cared about Justin, whom I thought I had no relationship with, with whom we never exchanged more than five words. I was worried about the future that wasn’t even coming and didn’t even look at the immediate future.
This is absurd. Having the power to solve everything. He entrusted his future to Justin, who was not even a water flea by his standards.
I only realized this after I fell on a rock and got a bump on my forehead.
‘What you should cherish is not the original content, but the people around you. ‘Let’s look at reality seriously.’
So, Ruid decided to change. We will look at the immediate future, not the distant future. I will live reality.
Jump up.
Ruid raised his head.
To do that, first of all.
“How much do I have?”
Let’s look at the money first. Ruid turned over the bag containing the gold. Gold poured down. Since most of the gold was stored in subspace, there was little cash.
But I still counted it, thinking there would be quite a few. How much wealth do I have?
But—
“…50 gold?”
Unbelievable amount. Ruid shook his head.
“Oh, no way.”
I started counting them one by one.
It was 50 gold.
“….”
Ruid denied reality and counted again.
But gold coins did not increase.
He clenched his chin and made a serious expression.
50 gold is about 500,000 won in modern times. For reference, the price of one cake eaten at this dessert shop is 10 gold. I wanted to eat several, so I ordered 4, and including the price of the black tea, it was about 45 gold. So what’s left is 5 gold…?
“Well, even if we replace rice with weeds. “If I do this, I can’t eat snacks.”
Ruid felt a sense of crisis that he would not feel even if the world were to end.
