EP.82 Tower of Stars (3)
“If I had to describe my brother in one word, she would choose the word mentally ill without the slightest hesitation. Ah, if I could add a few words to the beginning, I think ‘mad with power’ would be appropriate.”
The first princess, Leruel, had a unique impression.
Because she is also a member of the royal family, she was born with platinum blonde hair and golden eyes. It was an appearance that appeared when a member of the royal family was blessed, however faintly, with the star’s blessing.
I thought of the fourth princess, Ayla.
Although the two were sisters, it was difficult to find similarities between them. While Ayla had platinum-blonde hair that was closer to gold, Princess Lruel had hair that was closer to silver.
‘The eyes are like that too.’
Lruel’s eyes are pale gold.
Yes, overall. Everything paled compared to Ayla. While Ayla had a sparkling appearance, Leruel was a person with a calm expression.
However, there are two factors that overturn such lightness.
‘Sharp eyes, and…’
I glanced at her sharp eyes and slowly listened to what she said.
“It’s a long story, but it means you’re a f*cking bastard.”
Thick, harsh tone of voice with no backing.
That was the problem.
I seriously wondered if I should cover my ears. In its original form, just listening to someone disparage the royal family is blasphemous. It is better to cover your ears or leave the room right away.
‘But this person is also a royal.’
The royal family is criticizing the royal family.
I wonder if covering our ears and ignoring those words might be disrespectful.
“Uhm…”
Regardless of whether I was at a crossroads or not, the princess continued to say what she had to say.
“The royal family is sick. “My father is a bastard who has no intention of managing his children, and my brother wanders around with his connivance.”
“Ah,” the princess said calmly.
“It has an ambiguous meaning of being restless here. It means wandering around here and there, and it literally means picking up and torturing the children of various nobles.”
I learned about the first prince’s s*xual history, something I didn’t really want to know.
“That’s ridiculous.”
“Sigh,” the princess sneered.
“Because they are in the midst of a war with the Demon Lord’s army, their desire to reproduce seems to be very strong. “He is a blood relative of hers, but sometimes I worry that he might even attack her original daughter.”
“···yes?”
“The main girl is pretty. Isn’t she pretty? Even if you look at her objectively, I think she belongs to the axis of beauty.”
“Oh yes…”
“I’m so busy every day because I was born with good luck.”
What on earth.
‘I feel dizzy.’
I nodded slowly.
Regardless of how dizzy I am, I need to show at least some reaction.
“···Is that so?”
“Indeed, yes.”
The princess also nods.
She didn’t seem to have any hesitation in belittling her older brother. As the sun rose and her luggage was discussed, she continued her words as if it were very natural.
“Anyway, I think it’s hereditary that I play with my dick. A psychopath like that is the next owner of the throne. Can you believe that the royal family has become this corrupt? “She doesn’t really want to trust the real woman.”
So, the main lady came down from the throne.
Muttering that, the princess took a sip of coffee. She said, swallowing her coffee.
“Even though I lived my whole life like a doll, doing as my brother wanted.”
I also stretched out my arms to drink coffee.
“It seems my brother is not satisfied yet.”
She slowly puts down her coffee cup.
And then he raises his head. A pale golden light flowed between the narrowed eyes.
“It’s not enough to kill them both, I see that they are trying to kill the main woman as well.”
Tuk.
I stopped reaching for the coffee cup.
I stopped my hands and raised my head to look at the princess. She met her eyes.
There is no wavering in those eyes.
There is no wavering in that expression either.
Finally, she opened her mouth. Her red lips move. The words she speaks from her mouth are plain. She put one sentence into her mouth.
“And the next one will be the youngest.”
The attitude was as if there was nothing strange about it.
2.
Fourth princess, Ayla.
‘···I don’t know if it’ll be okay.’
She was lost in thought as the wind blew outside the window. What comes to mind for her is about her older sister who came to visit her not long ago.
The first princess, Lruelle.
She suddenly came and asked Ayla a question.
The question was succinct.
‘Please recommend a trustworthy and skilled wizard.’
If it were someone else’s question, Ayla would also have introduced a suitable wizard. However, the first princess is different.
‘Because she’s a talented sister.’
Always full of confidence. Not subject to other people’s standards. Set yourself as the standard for everything.

Such a person asked a favor from someone else.
If so, it meant that it was an important issue. So Aila shouldn’t have recommended someone half-baked.
‘Because that’s not polite.’
Ayla hates people from the royal family.
Tired of the bloody royal family. So, even in situations where politeness should have been shown, politeness would have been shown only on the surface.
‘Because there was no one I could truly respect.’
However, Princess Leruelle was different.
If it weren’t for her, Ayla would have already been killed by the First Prince.
Just like the 2nd and 3rd princesses.
“·····.”
So, I introduced it.
The most talented and trustworthy wizard that Ayla knows. He was a wizard chosen with the help of stars.
Star’s intuition and Ayla’s intuition matched.
Ayla told Princess Lruelle the name of the magician she had selected.
-Rania Van Trias.
-···Is she Sir Roselle’s adopted daughter?
-Yes, if it’s him… I think you can trust him.
I don’t want to get tangled up in the royal family anymore.
So, Ayla received confirmation from Lruelle.
-Please don’t drag the professor too much into the royal family.
-Don’t worry, I’ll use it cleanly and put it back where it belongs.
-···yes?
-They say they will not have any influence on the academy.
···Anyway, I accepted it.
Although the direction was a little strange.
“…Nothing will happen, right?”
I wonder if he will go so far as to reveal the entire situation of the royal family.
Even though my sister doesn’t care about what’s going on, she probably isn’t that crazy.
Ayla trusted Leruel.
Just like that, I was trying to focus on my overdue assignment, but suddenly my fingers started to feel numb. Ayla looked at her thumb.
Stinging.
My thumb is tingling.
Suddenly, anxiety came over me.
“···Ah, no way.”
Probably not.
3.
“And the next one will be the youngest.”
Saying that, Lruelle narrows her eyes.
I look at the professor sitting across from me. She is also looking at herself.
Bluish eyes.
There is no sign of embarrassment in those eyes.
When people hear facts that are difficult to accept, their reactions are largely divided into two.
‘Either be embarrassed.’
or.
‘Either try to figure out the intention right away.’
Most of them fall into the former category.
However, sometimes there are people who fall into the latter category. The professor in front of me clearly belonged to the latter group.
‘Not bad.’
Lruelle is silent.
By remaining silent, you wait for the other person to speak next. The die is cast. All that remains is to observe how the opponent moves his pieces.
Anticipate a reaction while remaining silent.
‘The most boring response is, what do you mean? ‘I guess that’s what you’re asking.’
It is boring for someone to repeat something that has already been said. He who doubts his ears is not sure. Lruel doesn’t need someone like that right now.
“·····.”
And then the professor opens his mouth.
The lips move and spit out words.
“Why me?”
It’s not bad.
Lruel thought so.
The professor in front of me didn’t ask what he should do. Just, why should he be who he is? He just asks that question. It’s not a very bad response.
“Hmm.”
Lruel smiled.
“I needed a wizard’s help.”
“You seem to be in magical danger.”
“Yes. She is also an expert in magic, but her ability to manipulate mana is limited. “Something is after me, but I have no way of knowing what it is.”
lack of ability
“So, we need a wizard. A capable wizard.”
What you lack in ability, you make up for in others.
“You must have an excellent eye for circuits. You must be good at activating and modifying circuits. “You must know how to use mana well.”
The professor in front of me met those conditions.
In the ivory tower, L’Ruel judged the professor’s level with his own eyes. It was beyond expectations.
‘There is no problem with skill.’
However, if you need the help of a skilled wizard right away, you can find one anywhere.
‘the problem is.’
The question is whether or not he is a person who has not yet fallen into the hands of his brother.
It wouldn’t be as funny if you saved someone to escape from your brother, but the person was already in your brother’s hands.
And, the professor in front of me is quite liberal when it comes to such matters.
‘There is no time to contact my brother.’
Rania van Trias.
This young professor distinguished himself in less than three months. It is too early for my brother to contact me.
‘and.’
He was raised under the sage Lord Rossell, unaffected by any political influence.
‘He is a person who is free from political interference.’
There is such a calculation.
Although it is laid down.
“And, in her eyes, you have sufficient qualifications.”
Leruelle does not bother to say that fact.
The professor doesn’t ask about it either. He just asks a different question.
“What do you believe in me?”
That question touches the essence.
If these conditions are met, there is only one thing left. Indeed, is this person trustworthy?
In response to that question, Leruelle answered clearly.
“Don’t be mistaken. “She doesn’t really trust you.”
When it comes to trust, Leruel does not trust the professor in front of him. He recognizes ability, but he does not believe in personality. Because there isn’t enough time to meet each other for trust to sprout.
-Recommend a skilled and trustworthy wizard.
So, what do you believe in and entrust your life to?
-Rania Van Trias.
-If it’s him, you can trust him.
“Ayla recommended you.”
“·····.”
“The main daughter trusts the youngest’s insight. She doesn’t trust you. “She believes in the youngest who recommended you.”
Lruelle clenched her chin.
And then he calmly continued speaking.
“The main lady said everything she had to say. “There is a story left to tell, Professor, but it will be the story of when you accepted the offer.”
Lruel senses his own death.
There was a time when I thought it was okay to die. She lived prepared to die at any time.
However, not now.
If you die now, everything will be ruined. He must still be alive. Estimate that period.
‘Even if you can’t do it, it’s 3 years.’
You have to live until the child settles down. He is prepared to die, but he wants to decide when he must die.
“three days.”
To do that.
“Work for me for three days.”
We need the wizard in front of us.
“If you will do so.”
Lruelle said.
“I will give you everything that I lost my life for.”
* * *
With Princess Lruelle in front of him, Raniel sighed inwardly.
‘I’ve vaguely known for a long time that the royal family is the opening venue, but…’
I had no idea it would be this bad.
I thought it was because the country was running well right now, so I didn’t pay much attention.
‘It’s worse than I thought.’
Raniel looks at the princess sitting across from him.
It’s rare to meet this type of person. However, people with similar tendencies know.
These are people who live with only one purpose.
They give up everything for one destination. Sometimes even my own mother.
‘···For some reason it reminds me of Uncle Kuntel.’
Raniel finally sighed.
Even though he sighed in front of the princess, Lruelle did not point it out.
“What are you going to do if I tell you?”
“That is truly foolish.”
The princess chuckled.
“Professor, didn’t you tell me?”
“·····.”
“Your brother is extremely paranoid.”
With a tap, she pushes the coffee cup away.
“If you tell my brother by some means… of course, she will die. “She couldn’t resist once, for sure.”
But, she said.
“You too will die. “My brother won’t leave a single witness.”
“···Ah, yes.”
Lruel tried to scare him in his own way, but Raniel actually had a grumpy expression on his face.
‘···I don’t think it’s particularly dangerous.’
Because that was the first thought I had.
“Did you say three days?”
“Yes.”
Raniel nodded.
“Yes, let’s try. what.”
If it doesn’t work out better than the situation, just throw it away.
With that in mind, Raniel readily accepted the princess’s proposal.
