I Became The Necromancer Of The Academy Chapter 86

Chapter 86 – 86. Academy Professors (2)

It was the first time I was overcome by the urge to close the door as soon as I saw a person’s face.

I was really worried about closing the door, but I thought it would look like a joke, so I forced my hand.

Because I didn’t want to seem even the slightest bit light.

“What’s going on?”

“Hey, can we talk to you for a moment?”

It was quite impressive to see them show courtesy in a way that was clearly different from before.

But I didn’t mean to feel sorry for him. This is connected to the saying that the Zeronia family is in ruins.

“It’s late at night.”

Gideon’s expression darkens even more as he answers the same thing he said to Erica.

“Okay, it’ll just take a moment.”

“It’s a waste even for a moment.”

I tried to close the door, but Gideon was in a hurry, so he held the door. Immediately, he frowned and said while biting his lip.

“Our family really has nothing to do with this assassination of His Majesty the King!”

“… … .”

“To be honest. It is true that money was spent separately to maintain close relationships with the religious upper class. But it’s really unfair to use that as an accomplice to an assassination!”

“… … .”

“I heard that Master Monsignor was in charge of this incident. If my family is harmed because of my previous actions… … .”

“That’s ridiculous.”

Sigh.

Instead, I open the door wide and push it away. I glared at Gideon and warned him.

“It was an attempted assassination of His Majesty the King. “Something like that happened, but you think your family is being investigated based on personal feelings?”

“Well, that’s not it… … !”

“It is a matter of execution through fairness and justice. “If your family is flawless, His Majesty’s blade will take care of you.”

“… … .”

Gideon, who closed his mouth, clenched his fists as if he had nothing to say.

Then he shook his head.

I got down on my knees.

“I have nothing to say. But! No family in this kingdom is without blemish!”

“… … .”

“Your Majesty seems to want something else from us. But we don’t know that!”

Gideon’s voice trembles. Not only was he worried about the family, but it seemed like the family was putting pressure on him.

“Our family’s businesses are being seized one after another. “In particular, the pink salt business in the Paruere waters was a matter of life and death for the family!”

“… … .”

“It’s not just a seizure. All of the family’s finances were frozen. Dealing with our family is called treason, and the people of the territory do not even want to pay taxes. “Your Majesty is already accusing our family of criminals!”

I had heard that the Geronia family was doing business here and there.

You are investing money and expanding the size of your business, but suddenly there is a seizure and sanctions from the royal family, so you must be upset.

Every day will be a series of enormous losses.

“Ji, wisdom. Please give me your wisdom.”

I thought for a moment as I watched Gideon bow his head deeply. In order to do business, the Geronia family must have spread their hands here and there.

It seemed to me that it was not just a business matter, but that there was something involved in it that should not have been at stake for the royal family.

There are certainly things I want from them, and if I were to be particular, I vaguely know the solution.

“It’s late at night.”

I pull back again and pull the door open. The Geronia family will still have some leeway.

I planned to wait calmly and extract it all, like removing steam from carbonated beverages.

“please!”

But Gideon leaps forward and enters the threshold.

Since he was a magic swordsman, his strength was greater than expected, so he almost missed the doorknob.

“light.”

The cool sound of a woman ordering was heard from behind. And a faint ray of light came out.

It struck Gideon in the chest, causing him to bend over backwards and hit his back against the railing behind him.

“Gagging!”

The impact was not great, but it was definitely pushed away. Gideon’s eyes widen as he raises his head in confusion.

“Eh, Erica Bright!”

Erica Bright, a passenger, passed me by and fired a spell.

She said, looking down at Gideon with a cold gaze.

“I was a passenger. “If you’re going to come, come back later.”

Erica put her hands together to cover her pajamas and slammed the door.

As I was watching this from behind, I said something to Erica.

“You too, stop leaving.”

“… … .”

Erica slowly turns around and pouts her lips. It was the same expression she often showed as her fiancé back when she was attending the academy for three months.

“If we go out now, we’ll have to run into Gideon.”

“… … .”

“Now that he’s seen me with you, Gideon won’t ask me anything anymore.”

Erica nods with satisfaction. Even if I told her to leave right away, she didn’t seem to listen, so she turned around and sat down on her bed again.

Erica follows behind me at a brisk pace. It was a childlike reaction that did not match his age and cold appearance.

[Cute? Is this an unexpected charm or something like that?]

The dark spirit next to me looks at Erica while squinting. Certainly, her body language was not as cold as the students at her academy, nor did she look as worried and worried as before.

I sip the tea I was drinking earlier.

It was slightly cooled, but it was much easier to drink this way.

I cleared my throat and smiled slightly as I looked at Erica, who was looking at me blankly.

“You’ve changed.”

“uh?”

Erica, startled by my words, shakes her shoulders. Then she secretly smiles.

“Does it look like that?”

Even though it was a vague compliment, she felt embarrassed for no reason. Then she began to tell her own story one by one.

“I told the family clearly. There can be no engagement with Gideon. “If you force me to proceed, I won’t stay still.”

“… … .”

“So, thanks to you, I won’t get married to that man outside. thank you.”

It felt like a child telling me what he did well and asking me to praise him.

The dark spirit seemed to feel the same way as me, as she patted Erica’s head and said it was cute.

[Oh my, good job.]

If Erica had seen it, she would have shot magic right away. I answered, pretending not to have seen the dark spirit.

“okay.”

“… … Is there anything else to say about Verdi? “When are you getting married?”

She glanced at me and asked, and I answered calmly.

“Okay, there’s nothing else to talk about.”

On the contrary, in the case of Deia, after hearing that the engagement was scheduled to be broken off, he even urged her to do it quickly if she was going to do it instead of dragging it on.

“I see.”

I told her, who seemed a little disappointed, that I thought it was a good thing.

“Bring the divorce letter tomorrow. “Now you are a woman who can stand alone.”

“ah… … .”

While I was away, he used my engagement as a shield to engage in a war of nerves with Gideon and the Bright family.

The woman who had been swayed by love and was unable to make sound decisions was once again living a confident and independent life.

Now my engagement will be a distraction to her.

“No, that’s… … .”

As I looked at her blankly, Erica waved her hands around and jumped up.

“Well, it’s late at night! “I’ll go out.”

Then, without even listening to what I said, he just walked out.

[It seems like breaking off an engagement would be quite difficult?]

“… … “I’m tired.”

There is no need to receive a letter of divorce right now. Her engagement to her in the first place had its benefits in some ways as well.

The last time King Orpheus tried to arrange an engagement with the princess, it was a good excuse for me to refuse.

“I’m going to sleep now.”

[Yes, have a nice dream.]

It’s a dream.

I didn’t really need to say anything else.

I slowly laid down on the bed and closed my eyes.

Erica came out of the room and took a deep breath, shaking her trembling heart.

If you think about it, wasn’t it just the two of us in the same room? I was a little excited that if I had just had a little more courage, today’s story could have turned in a different direction.

“ha.”

However, since the story of the break-up of the engagement was brought up, Erica could not be there.

For me, the letter of break of engagement was something that calmed my mind, but at the same time, it was also something that I wanted to disappear.

Proof that the connection with Deius Verdi has not yet ended.

But I promise it will end soon.

It was the letter of engagement that contained such complex meaning.

“Originally, I was going to ask about your relationship with student Aria.”

Two people were holding hands in the hallway. I wanted to ask that because I saw Deius holding his hand, but it’s okay now.

After talking with Deius for a moment, I was reminded of what kind of person he was.

From a professor’s perspective, he is not someone who would ever date a student or enter into a separate, deep relationship.

Because apathy that went beyond discernment was firmly established in him.

“… … .”

In that sense, he could be said to be in a quite advantageous position as he had a letter of divorce.

If Erica doesn’t release him, Deius won’t be able to date or get married.

“uh… … ?”

When I think about it, that’s true.

My body gets a little hot as it feels like I’m holding Deius’ leash.

Whether it’s Princess Eleanor or Aria Rias. His mere presence would become an obstacle to those who openly expressed their interest in Deius.

“Hmm.”

Of course, I have no intention of telling anyone that I had such vulgar thoughts.

If Deius seriously fell in love with someone and asked to break off the engagement, of course he was going to bring a letter of engagement.

‘Unless that’s the case.’

Okay, unless that’s the case.

Wouldn’t it be okay to continue this relationship a little longer?

It was Erica who was thinking that way.
