Episode 117: Falling Love (1)
It started to dawn.
As Hugo ordered in the cupboard last night, Bikir returned to his true nature early in the morning.
“Get into the academy.”
Hugo still used direct speech.
An official document was put in front of Bikir.
It was a newsletter from the family saying that the academy was recruiting new students for the new semester.
<Academy ‘Colosseo’ New Student Recruitment Information>
Application submission: November 04, 19th year of the imperial calendar ~ November 26th, 19th year of the imperial calendar
Duration of study: 8 semesters (4 years)
Date of admission: January 1st, 20th IC
Academy Colosseo. It is a large-scale group educational institution that is being implemented in Great Empire Rock.
There are over 7,000 students enrolled in the school, and the number exceeds 20,000 if you include students from the academy and the academy one.
It was a very large institution with 4,000 faculty members alone.
Colosseo, which leads to the best institution of higher education in human history, receives students every year, led by seven families that support the empire.
All young aristocrats of the empire considered it a lifetime honor to be able to enter this school, and in fact, graduates of the academy worked with pride as elite personnel in the imperial family and other high-ranking classes.
The emperor of the great empire has already graduated from the academy, most of the heads of the 7 families, various billionaires, heads of super-large guilds, renowned scholars, and other top positions in the political, legal, financial, cultural, media, academia, and sports worlds. All of the social leaders who stand in the school have graduated from this school.
There is no organization in the empire that can compete with alumni connections, and it was also the most influential group among all social groups.
“… … .”
Vikir looked down at the official document in front of him.
Students of the academy are not discriminated against in any way during their four years of study here, and admission and graduation are determined solely by ability.
Although there is some variation, most of the academy students enter at the age of 20 and graduate at the age of 24.
Academy graduates are given the option of remaining in the Imperial City and working for the Imperial Family or returning to their original family.
Hugo hoped to return to his hometown after graduating from the academy, and his eldest son, Osiris, also walked the same path.
And, of course, Bikir also planned to take that route.
“I’m coming.”
Bikir accepted Hugo’s offer without question.
Even before returning, I had been to the academy once.
‘… … Of course, I wasn’t eligible for admission at that time.’
It was used as a hunting dog to escort incoming students and provide various services.
For reference, the students who entered the academy at that time were triplets, Hive, Middle, and Low.
Hugo nodded and asked Bikir.
“Do you have any brothers you want to go with?”
The academy gave the Baskervilles a certain seat at the academy.
It’s a kind of seed assignment, TO was vacated, but considering the brand and name value of the Baskervilles, it’s natural.
Bikir answered without question.
“I want to go with the hyungs to Hive, Middle, and Low.”
I’ve said this to Hugo before.
Hugo still rubbed his chin as if he was surprised, but soon he seemed convinced.
“Among your brothers in the line, those guys are the least useful.”
But Bikir wasn’t just taking the triplets with him for that reason.
Naturally, after the great banquet yesterday, I remembered what happened.
‘… … It was a surprise.’
Bikir had been visited by the triplets on his way to his bedroom.
seuleung-
The guys pulled out their swords with expressions that felt strangely determined and blocked Vikir’s way, and Vikir was trying to annihilate them, who had a lot of things to do in many ways.
At this point, with the intention of burying what happened in the flood two years ago.
but.
The triplets had a completely unexpected reaction.
… dump!
All three of them knelt on their right knee in front of Bikir and bowed their heads.
The tip of the drawn blade was placed on the top of her right foot, and the tip of the handle was pointing towards Bikir.
If Vikir just stretches out his hand and presses, their swords will pierce their feet.
It was similar to the act of entrusting one’s life to the other person, or, in terms of a dog, lying on its stomach.
‘What are you doing?’
Bikir asked with absurdity.
Why did the knights of the empire swear an oath to themselves, like when they met the master of fate?
To this the triplets replied.
‘I want to repay the debt of my life to you.’
‘want.’
‘want.’
The reasons they said were definitely surprising even now when I think about it.
The triplets have been afraid of Bikir ever since they were badly beaten by him when they were 9 years old.
That fear was acknowledged when Vikir hunted Cerberus and respected when Vikir single-handedly killed a troll.
and last. Madame of flood.
The moment Vikir exploded the graduate’s aura towards the huge monster that hung like death itself.
The triplets’ feelings for Bikir changed once again.
awe. awe.

The ambivalent feelings humans feel when meeting an unapproachable, unapproachable genius.
The triplets were rescued on the backs of the Guardian Knights that day, and they saw their helpless naked face and, in contrast, the power of Bikir, who burned like the sun.
And that day, the day I barely saved my life. The three gathered in one place and made a promise with one heart.
‘We are Bikir’s trident starting today.’
It was meant to pay off the life debt of the day.
After that, the triplets never revealed anything about Bikir.
He also kept quiet about the ridiculous reputation he showed two years ago.
And two years later, when Bikir returned alive, he never said that the achievements he showed had not grown at all compared to two years ago.
they knew That Bikir was already an Intermediate Graduate two years ago. Over the past two years, he has grown stronger than ever before.
But, nonetheless, they kept their master’s secret.
‘… … .’
Bikir quietly stroked his chin.
Born to be hounds by nature, these three brothers need a master to obey.
Their skills and loyalty have already been fully known through the past life.
Before returning, they were the ones who threatened and drove Vikir more than anything else.
Vikir immediately stopped reminiscing and looked at Hugo.
“How many other squires can I bring?”
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
Hugo nodded happily.
Bikir nodded quietly.
In the past, Bikir also lived in the academy as a servant who assisted students entering the academy.
The servants take turns entering the academy each semester to assist the students entering the family.
Even though she was an assistant, her job was to escort and run small errands.
It was a typical knight’s squire role.
Bikir entered the academy as a servant of Hivero, Middlebro, and Lowbro before returning.
It was nice to take classes at the academy over my shoulder, but everything else was tiring and tiring.
He did chores such as washing clothes, preparing preparations for performance evaluation, memorizing timetables and menus, sometimes escorting them, sometimes solving various disputes, becoming opponents for sparring, and even delivering love letters instead.
‘At that time, I received a lot of persecution.’
When I went back to my home in the middle, I went through a lot of harsh scenes, so my face was full of scars and my legs were lame.
Is that why? The well-bred sons and daughters of nobles attending the academy used to frown and show contempt whenever they saw Bikir, who came quarterly to serve as a squire.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter. The reason you want to go to the academy anyway is not to learn something.’
There were two reasons for Bikir to enter the academy.
First, to get out of Hugo’s watch and increase his strength.
Second, to process the ‘black list’ that was created before regression.
I thought that I might have to wear the ‘Night Hound’ mask that I had sealed for a while.
at that time. Hugo opened his mouth.
“This is the end of the matter. You may go away now.”
As soon as Hugo had finished what he had to say, he issued a congratulatory order.
but.
There was only one thing left for Vikir to do with Hugo.
Instead of backing away, Vikir raised his head towards Hugo.
“father. There is one thing I would like to ask you.”
“… … ?”
It’s not uncommon for Bikir to ask something first, so Hugo is also interested.
Before long, Vikir asked Hugo one thing as if to double-check.
“I understand that the family benefited greatly from diplomacy with the Morgue family because of my disappearance two years ago.”
Hugo also nodded at Vikir’s direct words.
Bikir immediately continued.
“And my father said he would reward me for this.”
“Yes. I said I would give you an appropriate reward. We are still discussing that.”
The achievements made by Bikir are so great that a proper reward would not clearly make a merit award.
Hugo was also thinking about it, so Bikir brought up the story first.
“I want to receive that reward now.”
“Hoo. Have you found anything you want?”
It is also unusual for Bikir to want something first.
Hugo’s eyes lit up and he looked at his son’s face in front of him.
yet. Bikir’s mouth opened.
“All I want is for my father to answer my questions honestly.”
“… … ?”
Hugo’s brow furrowed slightly.
It was a request that could be unpleasant, depending on what you heard.
Hugo opened his mouth.
“What is your question?”
“Then I’ll ask you knowing that you’ve given permission.”
Bikir looked straight into Hugo’s eyes. And he asked in a much more direct manner than Hugo.
“How was your relationship with your deceased first wife, the late Marquis Roxana?”
Then Hugo’s entire body stiffened.
Is this the expression of a dragon stabbed by reverse?
extreme agitation. Hugo was reacting in a way he hadn’t seen before.
“… … What are you going to do now?”
Hugo’s voice became extremely cold.
A terrifyingly cold, cryogenic aura creeps up from his body.
But Bikir was unconcerned.
Despite the fact that all the intimacy and liking that had been built up until now were collapsing, there was not a single slight movement.
Hugo opened his mouth.
“scram.”
“… … .”
“Forget about the academy. It is completely blank.”
Hugo waved his hand.
Never in his entire life had he ever overturned a task set by emotion in this way.
But Bikir was still at his own pace.
“As far as I know, the case of admission to the academy has been cancelled.”
“… … .”
“However, the trade profits gained by the family due to my disappearance two years ago cannot be undone.”
So, I meant to answer quickly.
Hugo gave Bikir annoyance with a look he hadn’t seen before.
“What kind of answer do you want to hear!”
“The question is as it is.”
Bikir asked in a still tone.
“What did you think of Roxana and the Marquis?”
The Pomerian’s bright face was floating in Vikir’s mind.
How will Hugo react if he finds out about the existence of a granddaughter he didn’t even know existed?
Do you think it’s unpleasant and go wild like now? Most likely it was.
‘… … Because I am a human without blood or tears.’
The first wife he met through an arranged marriage, the eldest daughter born with her and kidnapped by the natives, and the granddaughter of mixed native blood.
Vikir had already counted more than 365 cases in his head about how Hugo would react when he learned of the Pomerian’s existence.
And in any case, he had taken steps to benefit himself and the Pomeranians.
… … together?
From the beginning, Hugo began to speak words that were not found in any of the 365 plans Bikir had made.
“She was the only woman I’ve ever loved in my entire life.”
