The road to the location where Damon is investigating. An unexpected person was seen in front of the building. It was Irina. She smiled happily as if she had been waiting for him to come.
“Ah, Prince Luid. long time no see.”
“hello.”
Ruid was rarely treated with respect. Because she was my sister’s friend, and although generations had changed, she was a princess.
“Can I pet you?”
Irina’s eyes narrowed beautifully.
Ruid also smiled and said out of courtesy.
“no.”
“….”
Irina stood up and half-opened her eyes.
“Are you here to see Damon?”
“yes.”
“You too?”
“I followed you. “The princess.”
“The princess. It’s old. Now it is Kairos.”
A thought occurred to me as I watched Irina having a normal conversation.
‘It always looks suspicious.’
It’s an idea I’ve had for a long time. There are some people in this world whose thoughts we cannot tell, but the first one was Irene and the second one was Irina.
However, Irina was easier to understand than Irene. She is completely driven by interest.
In the original work, he helped Justin in the beginning, but then suddenly turned his back on him. The line he said back then was probably…
-‘Uhm, even if you ask me why I betrayed him. You know, anything is boring if it’s one-sided. I am the guardian of balance!’
It was. Personally, this is a person I don’t want to have anything to do with. Above all, Amelia doesn’t like it very much.
“What about your sister?”
“Our leader? If you’re the leader, you’re probably working hard to find talent. But I feel sad. “Is that all you have to say about me?”
Ruid was seriously worried. And then he looked up at Irina with a serious face. Irina felt nervous for some reason and her cheeks turned red.
“yes.”
“….”
But I was immediately disappointed. To Ruid, Irina was just like that. Because he is not a trustworthy person to begin with.
“You said you came to see Damon, right?”
“yes.”
“After all, she was a princess… She had a lot of connections in the imperial family… Don’t I know something? “You know, Damon is my younger brother.”
“ah.”
Ruid opened his eyes wide. That’s natural since she’s a princess, but I forgot about it because it doesn’t suit her the most in the world.
‘Aren’t you two close friends?’
A question like that popped into my head, but I put it aside for now. As she said, the important thing now is Damon.
“Do you know? “What happens to the case?”
“hmm.”
Irina pretended to be worried for no reason. The question was asked by myself.
‘Should I just pass by?’
Ruid had a feeling that it would be quicker to ask the person in question.
“Damon…Damon did it?”
“So, you’re saying you’ve been harassing commoners like usual?”
“Yep. However, commoners are people too, so this time I got angry and punched Damon.”
“So it’s true that a commoner attacked?”
“No, no. Actually, I was there at that scene? The commoners just talked. I guess they thought even the prince would feel intimidated if several people came and argued. Damon misunderstood it… and it all ended in death? Hehe, isn’t it fun?”
It felt like the situation was clearly pictured in my mind.
“But you know.”
Irina bent down and lied in Ruid’s ear.
Ruid was disgusted and took 10 steps back. I just felt strange.
“…If I’m that surprised, it makes me feel like I’m a bad person.”
“What were you trying to say?”
Hersy asked.
“Uh… it’s not fun to say it like this. “Can’t we do it?”
Irina said with a regretful expression.
“I was waiting for you. I think it will definitely come. “You’re Damon’s only friends, right?”
“It’s better not to go. Exactly… should I say it’s better not to get involved?”
“why?”
It was a pure question. Irina answered as if she had been waiting.
“His Majesty received a report on this incident and issued an imperial order. Send Damon Kairos to the imperial court.”
“…!”
‘Your Majesty?’
It was unexpected. Ruid was embarrassed.
“why…?”
“Because Damon always causes accidents. They tell me to return to the imperial palace and take care of business. “I hate to admit it, but my younger brother is very capable and will be of great help to the empire.”
I had no choice but to admit that. Damon may be arrogant, but he knows he’s smart.
‘Are you saying I should just use this opportunity to get rid of it and go back to work? You have a point. ‘There’s no particular reason for Damon to be at the academy.’
but. Ruid felt uncomfortable somewhere. I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m missing something very important.
‘Let’s ask Damon first.’

Since it was Damon who owed the debt, Damian’s intentions were important. The moment I passed Irina and was about to enter the building.
“So, can I go back?”
Irina said so. It wasn’t that I was blocking the path, but Irina and I were very close. Normally, people would move out of the way when people pass by. Especially a kid like you. But Irina did not get out of the way. Just stay still. I don’t know why— but he was blocking me from getting to Damon.
‘Was this the cause of the déjà vu?’
If you think about it, it’s strange to begin with. There was no reason for Irina to be here to tell me this.
If it’s Hwangmyeong, nothing will change and you will find out naturally.
If it were any other person, you would think he would faithfully follow the emperor’s orders.
Irina is a character whose own interests are most important. It’s unnatural.
One hypothesis was developed.
‘I am currently the only person who might prevent Damon’s expulsion.’
That means – this situation tells us only one thing.
‘…Irina wants Damon to be expelled?’
But Ruid had no choice but to ask this question.
Why on earth?
For what?
Why does Irina want Damon expelled?
There is some interest and passion there.
**
Irina did not stop until the end. First, Ruid put aside his doubts and faced Damon.
It’s been a while since I last saw Damon, and he was still the same.
“One woman and one commoner. And you came to Ruid.”
“Why don’t you call me by my name!”
“I didn’t even call the lowly person next to me by his name.”
“At least I know each other.”
Hercy sighed.
Damon was sitting in a chair with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
“Now, Ruid, I think I know how you feel.”
“…?”
“You’re sleepy.”
Damon opened his eyes.
“But no matter how long I close my eyes, I can’t fall asleep. I feel very uncomfortable and dirty. I can feel that my thinking ability is deteriorating because I am not of sound mind. “This is why you behaved strangely sometimes.”
‘…I sleep well.’
If Ruid were asked to fall asleep right here, he was confident that he would fall asleep within 30 seconds.
As always, Damon read Luid’s thoughts and laughed.
“No one sleeps 20 hours a day. You probably spend most of your time just closing your eyes. “To get a few hours of sleep.”
It wasn’t. It was a sleep of such purity that I could not give up even a minute out of 20 hours.
Anyway, the joke ends here.
“Damon.”
“Say it.”
“Do you want to be expelled?”
“No member of the royal family likes that kind of tone.”
“Do you want me to help you?”
“Arthur, didn’t you know? “There is an emperor behind him.”
“It doesn’t matter. “Your opinion is important to me.”
When Ruid spoke casually, Damon’s eyes widened.
Then he covered his eyes with his hands and laughed loudly.
‘…Why are you smiling?’
Ruid looked at Hercy with an uncomfortable expression and mouthed, ‘What’s on my face?’ Hercy shook his head.
Damon, who had been laughing for a while, stopped laughing. He said in a voice that still had a hint of laughter in it.
“It seems like the emperor treats you like his own younger brother, but that’s all pointless.”
“So I can help you. “If I tell you, they will listen.”
Damon chuckled.
“You don’t know the emperor. He may seem like a good older brother to you, but he is the monarch who rules over this large piece of land. Even if you are a bitter enemy, you can become friends as long as you have a good reason, and even you, who are like my younger brother, can become enemies with the palm of your hand. Well, as long as you don’t commit treason, the emperor’s stance won’t change. Are you willing to take unnecessary risks?”
‘…Is this enough?’
To be honest, Ruid didn’t think it was a very serious matter.
I thought it would be easy to persuade him if I provided him with what he would gain from Damon’s expulsion.
In any case, Ruid’s position did not change.
“Tell me what you think first.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Damon said, looking intently at Ruid.
“What you can do here, you can also do outside. That’s the value of the Academy to me. However, I don’t like it.”
Damon chuckled.
“It’s not about going out willingly, but of someone else’s will.”
“Then decide.”
Ruid turned his back.
“I will prevent your expulsion. “Anyway.”
“Luid.”
As I was about to open the door and go out, I heard Damon’s low voice. I turned my head. Damon said with a more serious face than ever.
“thanks.”
“….”
‘Ugh, that feels strange.’
It wasn’t something I wanted to hear from a man often.
Damon said with a grin when he saw Luid’s disgusted expression.
“It’s already too early to talk about repayment, but if things go well, I will give you a gift. “Probably quite valuable information.”
**
‘What on earth is information? ‘I’m curious.’
Ruid walked while thinking deeply. Damon’s last words sounded quite meaningful.
‘…You’ll find out soon enough.’
Ruid was walking towards the imperial palace with a brisk gait. I was excited to go there after a long time and eat something delicious.
“Luid. “What are you going to do?”
“To go to His Majesty.”
“…You are thinking of defeating Hwang Myeong.”
Ruid is on his way to an audience with the emperor of the empire, but speaks as if he is going on an outing. At times like this, Hersy realized that he was the youngest member of the Duke of Windsor, a family that Luid could not dare to oppose.
‘Should I leave them behind?’
Ruid stopped at the main gate of the academy.
“I’ll resolve it soon. See you all later.”
“yes.”
Hercy was immediately convinced that this was something that was far beyond his authority.
“I…”
But Ella seemed to have something to say.
“Do you have something to say?”
“that is.”
Ella was incredibly hesitant. I wasn’t sure if I could say this. But I felt like if I didn’t say anything like this, there would be a big problem.
“Well, what should I do in the meantime…!”
Ella covered her mouth. The voice came out louder than expected.
‘Am I supposed to say that he’s amazing or that I don’t have any sense?’
Ruid was dumbfounded.
“S-sorry.”
“…I’m researching.”
“Research?”
Ella looked at me like a puppy.
“huh.”
‘Because he’s a genius, I’ll tell him it takes as long as possible.’
If you give me something half-hearted, I will clear it in less than an hour.
Ruid thought for a moment and then said.
“Research on immortality?”
“…!”
Hercy was absurd.
‘Isn’t it too grandiose…?’
Actually, I thought that Ruid also made a mistake.
‘No matter how hard it is, it’s too much for a kid who tries hard…’
But.
“yes! “I will have it finished by the time you come back!”
Ella shouted like that and quickly walked away. She looked very excited from behind.
