The ‘Starlight Garden’, called the paradise of the Imperial Academy,
is usually a place with a lot of floating population, but today Damon was alone.
[ Under construction! No entry. ]
This is because Damon, who learned a lesson from Ruid, used it right away.
Damon sat down on a picnic chair and waved a fancy golden wine glass.
‘This has excellent flavor.’
It was when Damon was sipping wine in a relaxed manner.
“Damon.”
“huh?”
The second princess, Irina, approached with a flawless smile. Damon asked with an interested look on his face.
“Hoo, what are you doing here? girl.”
“…I still have a bad habit of speaking. And alcohol. “You are still too young to eat.”
“If you’re going to act like your sister now, get out of there.”
Damon said cruelly. A lineage that flows from the same blood. The imperial family has come too far to argue with such things. Competition, rivalry, intrigue. Even if he does not become emperor, there have been many wars to become the second-highest-ranking ‘Kairos’ family head.
“Hmm… I think I was kinder to you than my brothers.”
Damon raised his eyebrows.
“The bitch who tried to kill me twice speaks volumes.”
“uh…?”
Irina grinned and held up two fingers.
“You only tried to kill me twice, right?”
“Stop talking about personal things. say it “Why did you come to see me?”
“Your Majesty is moving.”
Irina whispered to Damon with her back to him.
“The plan is to make Amelia Windsor the head of the family.”
Damon’s eyebrows twitched.
“how is it? “Isn’t it cool?”
“…is it true?”
“There’s no reason to lie to you.”
Irina looked amused. Damon said with a cold look.
“Say bite.”
“huh?”
“If this sound reaches Irene Windsor, it becomes dangerous.”
Irina covered her mouth and laughed.
“Wouldn’t that actually create a good cause? The Duke of Windsor—he could never betray the royal family. No matter how great Irene Windsor is, she is not stronger than the Duke of Windsor.”
“This is ridiculous. Would you treat a loyal subject who has protected your back for generations like that? “Is this really what His Majesty said?”
“Well… I’m not sure.”
Irina tilted her head.
“The act of cutting off the head of a member of the bodyguard directly under the emperor and showing it in front of the nobles… appears to be treason against the authority of the imperial family.”
Damon put down his wine with a look on his face as if he had lost his appetite. I got up from the chair, put my hands in my pockets, and looked down at Irina.
“That person seems to have become senile even though he is still young.”
How can you speak like this even after seeing the emperor? Even though he was a blood relative, the more I saw him, the more amazing he was. Irina covered her mouth and laughed.
“Get out of the way. “I need to go right away and give my body advice.”
“Ah, I didn’t come to ask that.”
“Is there anything more to say?”
Irina opened her eyes. The same eerie red eyes as Damon’s were shining.
“Damon Kairos.”
Irina held out her hand.
“If you are close to Louis Christopher, His Majesty’s plan will be easier. how is it? “To be on the same boat.”
Damon answered immediately.
“refuse.”
Irina smiled brightly and turned around.
“I’m sorry.”
Irina blew a whistle. At that moment, Damon smiled helplessly.
“Still a dismal bitch.”
People appeared between buildings. These are faces I’ve seen several times. The commoners he harassed. Each one of them was holding a weapon. Sword, staff. Someone is holding a hoe.
Damon still doesn’t move, with his hands in his pockets. He looked at the commoners approaching with hostile faces and shouted with a noble expression.
“What kind of safety do you dare raise your head, lowlifes! “Bow your head in respect right now!”
**
Ruid heard absurd news.
“Damon… knocked out 30 commoners?”
“yes. “They say it’s all slander.”
‘I wish I didn’t like it.’
Looking at the behavior of the commoners here, it’s not like Damon doesn’t understand it at all.
Ruid opened his eyes and asked.
“why?”
“…I guess it’s the same reason as usual. I don’t like it. But this time things are different.”
When Ella brought out the tea, Hersy bowed slightly and sipped the tea.
“They said he attacked first.”

“Commoners?”
No matter how Luid it is, this is surprising.
‘Did I eat something wrong…?’
“Right? Everyone can’t trust Prince Damon. So does the professor. In some ways, it is a benefit to becoming self-employed. “Because he was always so violent.”
Hersi pursed his lips. After a little hesitation, he looked at Ruid and spoke seriously.
“But… I want to believe what Damon says. “I may be a strange person, but I’m not one to lie.”
“i think so too.”
Ruid also nodded and agreed.
Damon wasn’t the type to hide it, no matter how outrageous he did. Instead, I did it by openly showing it off and bragging about it.
“I need help.”
The timing is also good. Ruid was fully charged. This is because I woke up after sleeping for about 30 hours.
As proof of that, his eyes were not sleepy like usual, but were clear.
“Well, I think it might be a little difficult.”
“All we have to do is prove that the commoners attacked first, right?”
Hercy shook his head.
“Even if it is recognized as self-defense, it is a problem.”
“why?”
“Damon’s penalty points are 49 points. No matter what happens, you won’t be able to avoid receiving even one penalty point.”
“ah.”
The laws of the Empire and the rules of the Academy are different. According to the empire’s laws, there is no possibility that Damon, a member of the royal family, will be punished. But this is the academy. It is difficult to recognize ‘justifiable defense’ in the Academy’s rules. For example, if a robber comes and beats you up, not only is the robber punished, but the fan is also punished for assault. Being fair to everyone includes criminals.
‘The first emperor was real.’
He left behind a huge mess called human rights in the Middle Ages.
“…Can I give you a store equal to the penalty points you get?”
“Uh… did you know that the rules regarding penalty points have changed this time? The rubric was distributed to all students a week ago. “No matter how much you are, it will be difficult.”
I realized it only after Hersy pointed it out.
‘You don’t do anything for nothing.’
It means that Michael touched this and that. I never thought it would work like this.
“…What are the chances of being completely acquitted?”
Hersi shook his head again.
“It might be difficult. “Due to the nature of the Academy, which absolutely follows the will of His Majesty the First Emperor, the value of ‘equality’ cannot be denigrated.”
“It’s equal. If 30 people had come in, it would have been worse for me. “One or two people may have died.”
“I think so too, but… you know. Awareness is important. If Prince Damon does not receive any punishment this time, a controversy over preferential treatment will arise. Besides, it’s because he’s Prince Damon, whose reputation is at a low level.”
Hercy spared the conversation.
The idea was that it could be a good example. If Prince Damon was kicked out, the slogan could be ‘The Imperial Academy punishes even the imperial family!’
“Will His Majesty allow it?”
“…It’s too early to be sure. yes. Personally, I think it is 100%. What we have to gain is greater than what we have to lose by Damon being expelled. Moreover, because of the previous incident… he must be looking for a way to strengthen the imperial authority.”
In short, it was more important to raise the reputation of the academy itself than to lower Damon’s reputation, which was already at the bottom.
The Academy is the power of the imperial family.
‘…I’m glad I have Hercy. Otherwise, Damon would have been expelled for sleeping.’
In addition, Hersy, the successor to the Minerva family, had a keen knowledge of politics.
If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been able to read the situation properly.
“The bottom line is it’s not easy.”
Hercy nodded with a grim face.
“Yes, even if you don’t do it, you won’t be able to avoid being expelled.”
Ruid chose Damon as the villain instead of Hersy. Damon was good prey. From the commoners’ point of view, Damon was nothing short of a disaster. Thanks to this, I was able to separate the like-minded Justin and his group. The aggro was dispersed.
In other words, it was his intention that this happened. Damon was singled out as a victim of persecution and punishment. I was guessing that it would end up like this. That’s right, the main character is Justin. Because he will be convenient only when his play of justice begins. But recently I changed my mind.
‘I hate commoners. ‘I like Damon.’
Very, very simple childlike logic. However, Ruid was no longer a careless character who got caught while sleeping. Ruid stood up.
“If there is no way, I will create one and help you.”
Above all, he owes me a debt.
“let’s go. “See Damon.”
I had received help so far, so now it was my turn to help.
**
Gilbert was embarrassed.
“Yes, Prince Damon. “If you do this, you will be in trouble.”
“How dare you ask me to sit on a chair like this! “It is too inadequate to be used as a royal decree for this body!”
Crash! Damon kicked the wooden chair. The chair hit the wall head-on and shattered.
This is the academy’s swordsmanship department investigation room. It was a space set up for the interrogation of students who had committed serious crimes.
No matter how non-discriminatory the academy is, it cannot interrogate nobles while imprisoning them in a cold facility, so this space was renovated from what was originally a reception room.
But Damon didn’t like even this.
“I just need to ask you a few questions. “Can you please bear with me for a moment?”
“This is already the third investigation. “I responded sufficiently.”
“…Well, because our words are different.”
Damon’s face lit up with obvious anger.
“How dare this body lie to such lowly people?”
“No, that’s not it…”
As the commotion continued, several students from the swordsmanship club came carrying chairs.
It was a chair dazzlingly decorated with gold and jewels.
Damon’s expression softened a little when he saw that.
“Now I finally have a chair that matches the dignity of this body.”
Damon sat proudly in his chair and crossed his legs.
“Okay, tell me.”
“….”
‘The real problem was the chair.’
Gilbert was dumbfounded.
But now that Damon’s anger had subsided, it was an opportunity.
Gilbert began his investigation seriously.
“The part where the testimonies differ is who carried out the preemptive attack. So…”
“That’s it.”
Damon cut Gilbert off.
“Looking at the current situation, it seems natural that expulsion from the academy cannot be prevented.”
“…!”
Damon raised one corner of his mouth and said as if it were a waste.
“Do it. I’m starting to get bored of playing along with this little house game. Please allow me to be expelled. but.”
Damon said cruelly.
“I will execute all the lowlifes who dare to soil me for insulting the royal family.”
Gilbert, who had been investigating crimes for a long time, knew. This is Prince Damon’s Maginot Line. Since I have made this much concession, it means that you should also make concessions. He didn’t know that, and Damon’s request was reasonable.
but… That’s why I couldn’t say it.
‘shit. I don’t know if it’s just sparks flying for no reason.’
Former second princess Irina said she would protect the commoners who caused this accident.
The emperor also issued an imperial command: ‘Punish Damon and establish the will of His Majesty the first emperor.’
The imperial family has abandoned you, and it’s all game over.
It was absolutely difficult to say. First, he was afraid that Damon’s anger would be directed at him. Second, it was a human sadness.
Damon was 15 years old. He was not yet an adult. If you know that no one has taken your side, the feeling of loss will be enormous.
Gilbert bit his lip. Damon looked at him with calm eyes.
“do not worry.”
“…yes?”
“I have no hard feelings towards you. It will be the same in the future as well. So please speak comfortably. What decision was made in the imperial court?”
“….”
Gilbert lowered his head.
Damon already knew everything.
