Episode 429: Battle for Dmitri (5)
In fact, Lauren Dmitry’s strategy has been in progress for a long time.
It was several months ago.
The starting point of the problem was a professor.
Professor Bradley, who belonged to the same Cairo Royal Academy as Henry Albert and was in charge of educating students, looked suspiciously one day.
“Professor Henry. I have a question: Do you really know Roman Dmitry? No, if you listen to the story of the Southern Front, it seems like you played a key role, but you haven’t had a single direct interaction while you were here at the Royal Academy. “I’m not denying everything the professor experienced, but I’m just saying this because I think he was one of the people who were there.”
Bradley was a typical nobleman.
For a man who thought of himself as noble, the sight of Henry Albert gaining success based on his experience on the Southern Front was not very pleasing.
If you think about it, there were actually a lot of questionable things.
If his role was so important that he was directly in charge of communication with the Cairo royal family, wouldn’t it be right to interact with the Dmitry family even after the war?
Once I thought it was suspicious, there were more than one or two suspicious things.
One question raised.
A fire went down in my feet.
As Henry Albert, he couldn’t just ignore a situation where someone doubted him.
‘If my origins are revealed because of Professor Bradley. ‘As quickly as he rose to this position, falling down was also an instant.’
Professor Bradley says.
It wasn’t a wrong point.
In reality, Henry Albert was nothing more than a nobody, and if this fact was asked of the Dmitry family, his authority as a professor would immediately fall to the ground.
In fact, it wasn’t like I was lying all this time.
I just exaggerated it a little based on my own experience, but isn’t it true that I was on the southern front?
But regardless of those issues, it was clear that it would be a problem if the truth were revealed.
I shook my head.
How can we overcome this crisis?
What should I do to shake off people’s doubts and maintain this position?
My worries deepened.
And eventually.
I came to one conclusion.
‘The reason why Professor Bradley is suspicious of me comes from the fact that I passed the life-or-death crisis with Dmitri and had no interaction with them. If they confirm that I am directly related to the Dmitri family, which is currently popular, they will not bother to touch me, no matter what the truth is.’
At that time, Dmitry was not in the position of an empire.
Although the situation on the continent was still in a state of confusion, it was an undeniable fact that, as Henry Albert thought, Dmitry was leading the new landscape.
In particular, Dmitry’s influence in Cairo was absolute.
Since the King of Cairo actively follows Dmitry, he needed to use this opportunity to prove it.
‘The method is simple. ‘You just have to make your relationship with Dmitry take root in the life of this man, Henry Albert, rather than simply end it as a fleeting connection on the southern front.’
The conclusion is right.
It was a relationship between in-laws through marriage.
There was no surer way than that that no one could dare question.

next day.
Henry Albert’s class was held.
Seeing the students arriving one after another, Henry Albert hid his sinister intentions.
‘You must never reveal my intentions. If you push for an arranged marriage in the name of the Albert family, it is certain that you will be rejected, considering the current status of the Dmitry family. There is no other way for Albert and Dmitry to unite than to pursue a natural meeting. Only when a man and a woman strongly assert their feelings for each other will they seriously consider union with the Albert family, regardless of practical benefits.’
Absolutely.
The grade didn’t match.
Unlike the Albert family, which is going downhill even in Cairo, isn’t Dmitry a family that powerful people from all over the world will rush to if he announces his intention to marry?
Instigating an arranged marriage was a truly foolish move.
Knowing his position, Henry Albert approached the problem in an unusual way.
All students were seated.
Henry Albert, who took a quick look at Lauren Dmitry, proceeded with the class with his usual expression on his face.
“We will start class from now on.”
Topic of class.
It was the quality of a hero.
As articles analyzing Roman Dmitry became popular, classes were held on topics related to him.
“The existence of a hero is not simply born under special circumstances. Roman Dmitry distinguished himself as a hero in the war on the southern front that no one expected, but the real starting point is to look at his life before that. The Blood Fang incident. When people asked whether it was necessary to attack them and take the damage, Roman Dmitry boldly attacked their base and defeated them once and for all. Same situation, same problem, but different response. That’s what a hero is… … .”
It was safe to say that the class was from the point of view of omniscient Roman Dmitry.
It covers the life he lived and actively brings out elements that students may find interesting.
Suddenly.
Class has reached its end.
Henry Albert, who had completed all of his prepared classes, naturally put his plan into action.
“This concludes today’s class. There are additional group assignments. Based on what we learned in today’s class, you can research historical figures who lived heroic lives, such as Roman Dmitry. It’s okay if it’s someone everyone knows, or it doesn’t have to be someone everyone knows. Then, I will announce each group. Group A… … Lauren Dmitri and Emma Iris are in Group F. “Thank you all for your hard work.”
I smiled softly.
It was a very natural flow.
Emma Iris is included in Group F along with Lauren Dmitry.
She was Henry Albert’s cousin and his beloved younger sister whom he always cherished very much.
* * *
Henry Albert and Lauren Dmitry.
The two were quite close friends.
As Henry Albert listened to Lauren Dmitry’s concerns, they maintained a relationship to the point that they often met outside of class.
So it wasn’t that strange for the two of them to have a meal together.

At that time, Lauren Dmitry showed good results at the academy, so we made dinner plans to celebrate.
“Thank you every time. “Thanks to the professor, I think he was able to achieve good grades.”
“okay? “If you think about it that way, it makes me really happy, hahaha.”
He laughed cheerfully.
Henry Albert laughed heartily at the fact that Lauren Dmitry thought of him as special.
Leave some sort of plan behind.
Lauren Dmitry was such a pretty child.
In fact, if he had not been the third son of the Dmitry family, he would have seriously considered an arranged marriage, as he had good values and good behavior.
But instead, the value of the name Dmitry held me back.
Because it was a mountain that the Albert family could not dare to climb, it could not be approached by ordinary means.
“I am proud of the quality of the food at the restaurant we are going to now. It’s a place that has recently gained quite a reputation for its delicious food in Cairo, so order whatever you want to eat. “I have that level of ability.”
There was no sight of the class being conducted.
Public and private affairs were completely different.
Still, as a professor, I tried to look as serious as possible, but even in private, I did not maintain the same attitude as in class.
In fact, the image he is showing now is more like himself.
Henry Albert was a somewhat immature and reckless person, but as time passed, he learned how to live publicly.
yet.
Arrived at the restaurant.
I went to my reserved seat and, based on the waiter’s recommendation, ordered the chef’s special course.
And while we were having a light conversation, a woman passing by opened her eyes and said,
“Oh my, Henry?!”
“Elena?”
It’s like we met by chance.
It was a manipulated meeting from beginning to end.
Elena, the daughter of Henry Albert’s maternal uncle, Viscount Vale, smiled and made a planned comment.
“… … this person is?”
“Ah, the student I teach. Lauren Dmitri is the third son of the Dmitri family you know. And this is Elena Frank. “It has the same name as the Frankish Kingdom, but it is my uncle’s family.”
At first, a brief self-introduction.
And natural joint stone.
Elena Frank and Lauren Dmitri had a pleasant meal while receiving the happy gaze of Henry Albert.
* * *
Henry Albert’s plan was a long-term war.
We did not reveal our intentions hastily, and each time we created an opportunity to introduce a different woman in a new environment.
It was intentional.
Even Henry Albert didn’t really know Lauren Dmitri’s tastes, so he threw in a few pats on the back, thinking that he might get caught at least once.
But there was still no result.
As Rodwell Dmitry emerged as the center of attention, even Henry Albert began to feel anxious.
for that reason.
He abused his authority as a professor.
I called Lauren Dmitry in for a personal consultation and asked her if she had any concerns recently.
‘It’s a natural flow. ‘Who would think it strange that a professor would find out what his student was worried about?’
The intention was spot on.
Loren Dmitri seemed a little hesitant, then sighed and said what he had been thinking about.
“… … Huh. Actually, I’m worried because a lot of people are intentionally approaching me these days. “I understand that Dmitry is interested in me as his situation changes, but I feel a little uncomfortable because it is clearly for the purpose of an arranged marriage.”
Henry Albert’s eyes changed.
There are people who dare to look at Lauren Dmitry other than yourself.
Henry Albert spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
“Lauren. As you said, Dmitry has become an empire, and interest in you is bound to grow day by day. That has become a reality that Lauren Dmitri has to accept on a daily basis. What I want to tell you is that you don’t need to be swayed by their intentions. If there is someone you really like among those who have approached you, you may need to open your heart, but if not, you have the right and power to draw the line. “It is the opposite of accepting everything even if you absolutely, absolutely do not agree with it.”
I had to prevent completely closing the door to my heart.
Only then will he be able to succeed in his plan.
“Actually, in aristocratic society, your age is the time to start thinking about marriage. So, rather than looking at people who approach you intentionally, look around you first. In fact, you may not even be aware of it, but there may already be someone you like rationally.”
The line was properly maintained.
At a level where he can sincerely counsel Lauren Dmitri’s concerns while also appealing his own plans.
Lauren Dmitry showed a lighter expression.
It seemed like the problem had been resolved.
“Thank you every time. Like the professor said, I will try to be honest with my feelings without limiting my thoughts.”
“okay. “Shall we go for lunch to commemorate the first time we’ve seen each other in a while?”
“… … Oh, I’m sorry. “I really want to eat together, but I made a reservation in advance before coming here.”
The prompt came.
Henry Albert asked.
“If there is a prior agreement, there is nothing we can do. “But who are you meeting?”
“Amy! “I recently received some help, so I said I would treat them to lunch first.”
Moment.
Henry Albert cheered inwardly.
Who is Amy?
She is the 8th cousin who naturally led me to meet Lauren Dmitry. She is a very pretty, gentle and kind-hearted child, so I was personally looking forward to her.
But he made a personal appointment with Amy even though he didn’t intend to.
Because it was a relationship that was formed so naturally, I clenched my fists without realizing it.
Contrary to what you think.
On the outside, he smiled brightly.
“Okay, have a good time.”
I suppressed my excited voice.
Henry Albert did not know that it was still too early to raise a toast.
* * *
It was a happy day.
Henry Albert had a bright future as a professor and couldn’t hide his excitement at the news that Lauren Dmitry and Amy would often meet.
What if you really end up in a relationship with your in-laws?
There would be no one, not only in Cairo, but even in the entire Salamander Continent, who would oppose him for having Dmitri on his back.
but.
There were ups and downs in a person’s life.
After class, I went to the office, and Professor Bradley, whom I met along the way, said with a sinister smile.
“Professor Henry. Did you hear the news? This time, for cultural exchange between Dmitry and Cairo, Dmitry’s flash Chris will visit the Academy in person. If you are Professor Henry, who personally crossed the line of life and death with Knight Chris on the battlefield, then of course you can introduce him to us, right? “Of course, I’m not asking you to set up a separate seat for me, but I’d like to ask for a brief statement after the meeting is over.”
In those words.
My heart sank.
Cold sweat ran down my back, but I couldn’t refuse because I knew Professor Bradley’s intentions.
‘If I avoid this meeting, Professor Bradley will be sure to criticize me harshly.’
Is that why?
I blurted out the words without realizing it.
“Of course. As Professor Bradley said, we have overcome life and death together, so what’s the big deal?”
I laughed awkwardly.
D-3 days until Chris’s visit.
At the greatest juncture in his otherwise solid life, Henry Albert’s mind began to move busily.
