“The sunlight is so strong that it’s hard to sleep.”
Amelia’s office. Ruid spoke like Damon. Of course, because he was very soft-spoken, he didn’t have the arrogant feeling typical of Damon.
“Well, I see.”
Amelia smiled awkwardly and looked at Luid lying on the sofa.
“It would be really nice if someone would close the curtains.”
Amelia flinched at the helpless voice.
“Uh… Louis? “I have to do my sister’s work.”
Most of the current swordsman’s work was construction of the main building that Ruid destroyed.
Although there was some backtracking on the warlock, the process was being followed to hand it over to the imperial family.
Of course, it’s not Ruid who would care about such things. Ruid was definitely the type to use something if there was a good reason.
“I guess my sister doesn’t want to eat.”
Ruid spoke to Miho, who was holding him. Amelia hurriedly closed the curtains.
“Okay, okay?”
Ruid smiled brightly.
Amelia signed the document again while looking at Lloyd’s eyes.
‘I can’t see it…’
Then-.
Hwareuk.
The lamp came on. Ruid used magic.
“…thank you.”
“I used magic and I’m thirsty.”
“….”
Amelia had been nagging to her heart’s content during the previous main building explosion.
If you just pass over it, you will be disqualified as the younger brother.
Ruid’s eyes sparkled.
‘If they wanted something like that just because they had some justification, they should get it back, right?’
Above all, there was nothing more fun in the world than bullying your older sister.

There are different types of Imperial Knights.
Among them, the ones dispatched to the Academy this time were the Emperor’s direct bodyguard, the Teutonic Knights.
Total number of people: 21. An invincible group of knights whose individual strength is considered to be at the level of a knight commander.
It has a long history, and unlike other knights, its degree of freedom is quite high. The orders are only those of the emperor. As a result, it was always like off-duty.
The fact that such a large group of knights was dispatched was a testament to the extent of the emperor’s trust in Ruid.
“Your Majesty seems to care a lot about you.”
Charon, vice-captain of the Teutonic Knights, spoke. Aide Michael had bleary eyes.
“I don’t know whether I should like this or not.”
It was a great honor to have the emperor by my side. No matter how outstanding the Windsor family’s youngest son is, isn’t this a demotion no matter how you look at it?
“I think the opposite, right? “If you care so much about Confucius, isn’t it normal to send the person you trust the most?”
Judith said, cursing the back of her neck. It was a female knight with quite tanned skin.
“Is that so?”
“lol. Of course, it could be that I sent it in moderation because Sir Michael was annoying. “Aren’t you a very unpredictable person, Your Majesty?”
Michael became sullen. Judith laughed and patted Michael on the shoulder.
“I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I was told by His Majesty’s aide that there is no such thing as a vacation. Because the emperor of an empire cannot rest even for a minute. So, I guess they’re sending me to rest in peace.”
“Is this a little bodyguard? It’s so annoying.”
The only wizard among them. The man called ‘Lazy Nolan’ because he liked drinking and gambling yawned.
“Avoid making rude remarks. “It is His Majesty’s order.”
“Honestly, you don’t like the vice-captain either, do you? “Because the first order given by His Majesty was not ‘punishment of a warlock’ or ‘annihilation of a certain count’ but ‘protection of the Prince of Windsor.’”
It has already been five years since the Teutonic Knights completely crossed generations. However, due to the extremely strong military force and the peaceful atmosphere of the empire, they never came forward. This was the first order.
“….”
Charon closed his mouth. The fact that he didn’t refute meant that Nolan’s story was correct.
“Honestly, escorting a brat. Where’s the article you like about that? That’s not why I joined the Teutons-”
“Everyone is very dissatisfied. Have you ever seen Confucius?”
Judith said with a grin.
“…You talk as if you exist.”
“I have.”
“what?”
Judith shrugged her shoulders.
“So I can say for sure. Prince Ruid is a person worth escorting. “It’s worth it.”
“Hey Judith. “Don’t get into an accident.”
Galahad, with impressive red eyes, spoke fiercely.
“Huh? “When do you say I had an accident?”
“Didn’t you attack one of the SS’s training grounds last time? If you have a conscience, stay still this time. Otherwise…”
Galahad’s eyes sparkled.
“Smash it?”
“Huh? How can Galahad defeat me? “You’re kidding, right?”
Galahad’s eyebrows twitched at the slightly annoyed tone.
“Haha! Joke, joke. “The boy gets upset over things like this.”
“Judith!”

Galahad followed Judith, who was running away with her life flying around.
‘This is already the third time.’
Michael sighed with an already haggard complexion.
These knights are incredibly energetic. There are frequent fights and no fuss. Besides, isn’t it the legendary ‘Teutonic Knights’? No matter how much he is the emperor’s aide, he is someone who cannot be treated carelessly.
Michael sniffled. I already want to go home.

They walked through the forest of Delrin. After asking around, it is said that Prince Ruid usually takes a nap in the Forest of Delrin around this time.
“It’s a forest with so much magic that it’s uncomfortable.”
“I never thought there would be a space with so much magic power. But is it possible to sleep here?”
“Is this Confucius taking a nap in a mysterious forest? It’s like something out of a fairy tale.”
Charon looked around with an indifferent expression. I heard that a warlock came to the academy and that the second son of the Windsor family was involved in a battle, and it seemed like it was here.
I felt the clear magic power and the contrasting magic power that was unpleasant, like oil residue.
“Amelia Windsor, la…”
Charon unconsciously muttered the name of the knight who dealt with the warlock.
“Now that I think about it, I guess I’ll meet Geomhee while I’m guarding, right?”
Galahad moistened his lips with his tongue as if he was looking forward to it.
He was a fighting fanatic, and if he looked even the slightest bit strong, he had the personality to fight with his sword.
“What? This escort isn’t as bad as you think, right?”
There was a faint touch of madness in his words.
“…It’s not bad. “It’s Windsor, not any other noble family.”
Michael added.
“Every time Windsor comes to the Islands, he always leaves behind at least one great achievement, right? Above all, it is a family shrouded in mystery.”
“It’s a rare opportunity. “Because they are people who will never leave the northern castle unless it is a succession test.”
Judith said with amusement.
That’s right, the Windsor family has been strong for generations. No matter how great a prestigious family it is, it is bound to stumble once in a while, but its talent has never been lost.
There was no possibility that it was manipulation. He left behind great achievements for generations.
Still, many people in the system were looking forward to what kind of achievements Windsor would achieve this time.
‘Okay, you don’t have to worry. Let’s think positively.’
Michael clenched his fists.
Kugugugu—
At that time, I felt a vibration shaking the floor. Judith was the first to react and drew her sword.
“It’s powerful magical power.”
“I can feel it without you having to say it.”
“…Something may have happened to Confucius. “Let’s go quickly.”
Charon and the rest of the knights also pulled out their weapons.
I lowered my posture and walked slowly.
Michael was surprised when the knights, who showed no signs of seriousness, united in unison.
‘After all, isn’t he a Teutonic for nothing? They seemed as weightless as a cloud, but now they look like completely different people.’
Gulping, Michael swallowed dry saliva. An enormous magical power that can be felt even by someone who can only use simple everyday magic.
What on earth is happening out there?
“Uh, that’s…”
Michael couldn’t help but be astonished at the unfolding scene.
“Confucius…?”
Kugugugugu-!
“Zzzz…”
Lake of Delrin. I saw a boy with blond hair lying casually asleep.
However, the problem was that the magic power in the air was flowing into Ruid at an absurd speed.
An incredible amount of magical power was absorbed with each breath, and the air was vibrating from the impact.
For an ordinary person, it was definitely a lethal amount of magical power.
“This, this.”
Naturally, their eyes turned to Nolan, the lazy but useful archmage.
“Is there something wrong with Confucius?”
“…Dangerous.”
Gulp, Nolan, who had no interest in anything other than drinking and gambling, broke into a cold sweat.
“It’s a mana addiction phenomenon.”
Michael’s eyes opened wide.
Mana addiction. The most dangerous phenomenon that wizards must avoid.
The end result is that the circuit burns out and you become a ruined person, or you become a cold corpse.
It was a symptom that occurred when magic power was used rapidly or when magic power that could not be handled was injected.
A magic circuit was like a passage through which magic power passed. Each person has a certain size, and if the size exceeds that size, the passage naturally becomes crowded.
Perhaps the reason this phenomenon occurred was because Delrin’s lake had abnormally high magical power in the atmosphere.
“Ma, we have to stop it! “There could be a big political problem!”
“I know, damn it!”
It was last evening that I received an order to serve as an escort. If Confucius dies in such a situation, he will not be able to avoid responsibility. No, regardless of that, I cannot predict how the Duke of Windsor, who prioritize blood ties, will react.
Nolan hurriedly sat down in front of Lloyd and placed his hand on his head.
‘It’s hot.’
Perhaps more than half of the magic circuits were already dead. But the important thing here was to make sure that life was not in danger. Then at least the worst will be avoided. Nolan closed his eyes and poured magic into Ruid. There was
only one way to overcome mana addiction – to directly guide the magic power of an unreasonable wizard.
‘The magic circuit is safe, right?’
Nolan, who injected magic power into Ruid, realized it right away. Ruid’s magic circuit was safe, and he did not overuse the mana circuit.
Nolan entered the circuit with a sense of déjà vu. As he reached the area near Ruid’s heart, Nolan’s mind became dizzy.
‘No, that’s ridiculous.’
It was a deep abyss with no end in sight. The magical power gathered together and gathered together, and its depth could not be gauged. Nolan hurriedly ran away from Ruid’s heart.
‘There is no problem with magical power…’
Then, this phenomenon that is happening now is-
‘Normal magic recovery speed, you say?’
Nolan could not contain his astonishment.
I couldn’t even imagine it. Magical breathing of this magnitude is ‘normal’.
Even what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg. Because I’m just taking a peek at the lake of magical power that hasn’t been filled yet.
No, is this really a lake? This was the sea. The ocean is deeper and wider than anything else in the world.
‘Damn, you’re a genius? This is a dragon. ‘I’m not human!’
Nolan quickly tried to retrieve his magic power to let people know about this.
But it was that moment.
“——!”
In Nolan’s field of vision, whose eyes were obviously closed, I could see his pupils.
It had big eyes that seemed as if they could swallow the world.
That too – a very clear wall. Nolan instinctively realized that the subject of these eyes was the young boy he was touching.
‘Magic power.’
Suddenly, Nolan’s magic began to flow into Ruid at an incredible speed.
In the face of an overwhelming force that he could not dare to reject, Nolan’s mind faded.
**
Ruid stretched with a refreshing expression.
‘It’s been a while since I had a good night’s sleep.’
How long has it been since you felt this way?
I didn’t feel comfortable, as if I had fallen asleep for a week. My head felt refreshed, and even my body felt good.
Ruid quenched his appetite.
‘What was that?’
Even though I was asleep, I felt it. The feeling of eating something incredibly sweet and delicious. Although it was unconscious, I think I thought it was ‘a piece of shit.’
Ruid opened his sleepy eyes.
‘It’s a surprise.’
His expression was still indifferent, but on the inside he was shocked and turned upside down.
Because right in front of me – there was a man. A man whose cheeks were puffy and had a face like a skull.
After that, five people were all looking at him with relieved expressions.
I feel like a monkey at the zoo. Ruid asked curiously.
“…Who are you?”
