Episode 153. anxiety (1)
“Is your body okay?”
“Maybe it’s because I slept well for the first time in a while, but I’m so refreshed that I’m flying! “If I’m in this condition, I think I can win even if I fight against Xian.”
Lunav responded with a straight face to Set’s reckless remark, which made all the worries disappear.
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding! I can’t say anything… … .”
Set waved his hand, telling me not to take it seriously.
Lunav and Set made their belated return journey through a harsh sandstorm.
When we left, there were three of us, but when we came back, we became two, and it was a situation that I couldn’t laugh about.
“Aren’t you going to ask?”
“Do I have the right to ask anything? The incident at your academy didn’t happen because you wanted it, and I was happily sleeping while the incident happened, so to be honest, I’m very embarrassed. “If it weren’t for her in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to return home as comfortably as I did now.”
Set licked his lips and expressed his honest feelings.
“If you look at it roughly, there is some kind of behind-the-scenes force in Xianhan that we don’t know about, right? “Is the power you have beyond what we think?”
“That’s it… … .”
The problem went far beyond that category.
“Then that’s it. What more can I ask? Basically, a man has one or two secrets that even his lover doesn’t know about. “As rivals, you have to respect that!”
Did he at least feel favored by the way he smiled and acted coolly?
Lunav looked at Set with a slightly different respect than usual.
“After all, if you’re my rival, you have to be at that level! Wouldn’t that make me want to take on challenges too? good! When I return to the academy, I will have to begin training that is twice or even three times more rigorous than before! “Are you going to help me, junior?”
“Do it alone.”
It was an insensitive response that instantly neutralized an ambitious proposal.
It was fortunate that he was a simple man, but the thought that Lunav was too simple was a problem immediately struck me.
About two days passed like that,
The two were able to arrive at Luwen around dawn, similar to when they departed.
“Eh?”
Set looked at the castle gate and immediately couldn’t believe his eyes.
Compared to before, twice as many knights were guarding the castle gate.
“what? Why are there so many knights? “Isn’t it a good idea to sneak this in?”
“Then let’s just go in.”
As if it was no big deal, Lunav walked towards the castle gate with long strides.
Set watched this with blank eyes.
“Check your identity… … Eh?”
After trying to confirm their identity in a solemn voice, the knights tilted their heads to see a familiar face that seemed like they had seen it somewhere before.
“Lu, Lunav Rainreaver?”
Aside from her, the knights’ eyes widened as Sett, whose size was clearly an identification, appeared.
“Academy students, why are you here at this time…” … ?”
“I’m just returning from experiential learning.”
“You mean experiential learning? We haven’t heard anything… … .”
“I guess so. This is an activity that was carried out secretly without approval. “I plan to receive disciplinary action as soon as I leave.”
There was silence around the gate for a moment.
“Okay, I understand. “Let’s go in.”
“thank you. “You don’t have to do things like dock to get tired.”
Lunav looked at the set as if asking what he was doing and gestured for him to come.
Set, who was watching this, thought to himself.
Although I’ve been listening to reckless people talk for a long time,
I don’t think this junior will have any trouble.
“But it seems like there are more guards than usual. Is there some reason?”
“Oh, you’ll hear about it when you get back, but a murder case recently occurred within the academy.”
“A murder case?”
The eyes of the two men and women flashed at the same time.
“yes. Not only that, an official document was issued saying that VIPs of the empire will visit soon… … .”
“came!”
At that moment, a knight came running from the side of the main road in a huff and urgently shouted at the guards.
“The imperial family has just passed through the western gate!”
* * *
Graduates usually visit the academy in two ways.
You come here for the purpose of resting and reminiscing about old memories.
Or they come to encourage current students attending the academy, such as siblings or acquaintances.
In fact, since the academy itself is located in a very remote place, this doesn’t happen that often.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an unprecedented event in the history of the Academy that three members of the imperial family, rather than ordinary nobles, came to visit at once.
“It’s nice to smell the fresh air at the Academy after a long time. “You guys are like that too, right?”
“yes. It’s like a perfume of forgotten memories… … .”
Unlike Nerobien, who smiled awkwardly as if trying to accommodate her, Fabian spoke with an unhappy expression.
“Arin will be in the Royal Pavilion. “She should go quickly.”
His tone clearly showed that he wanted to finish work quickly and go back.
“Is there any need to go in a hurry? Since it felt like an outing, you can just enjoy it slowly… … .”
Unlike Violette, who was ecstatically looking at the streets of Luwen, Fabian and Nerobien’s faces were literally on the verge of crumpling.
How on earth did they bring them to this place with the intention of torturing them?
It was a truly incomprehensible situation.

A woman with a familiar face appeared in front of them.
The youngest child, Arin, came running in a panic after hearing the news of the imperial family’s visit.
“Arin Sebellus, princess of the Usif Empire. “See her sister and her brothers!”
Arin immediately greeted her brothers.
“Nice to meet you, Arin! It’s been a long time since I last saw you. “I was very worried, but I’m so glad that you look healthy.”
Violette smiled brightly and welcomed her.
Fabian and Nerobien reluctantly welcomed her with bitter smiles.
“What brings you all the way to this far away academy?” … ?”
“I think you must have been quite shocked by the unpleasant incident that happened the other day. So we all came here with the intention of comforting Arin!”
“Um, you mean me?”
For Arin, these were unbelievable words.
Her eyes naturally turned to Fabian and Nerobien, and the moment she saw their uncomfortable and even anxious reactions, she realized that Violette’s words were not sincere.
“I can’t keep doing this, so should we move?”
“Then, let me show you to my room…” … .”
A room in the royal building that would be familiar to the three siblings.
Looking at the neatly organized school materials such as swords and textbooks, as well as the books borrowed to improve her studies, Violet was full of praise.
“As expected, honor students’ rooms are different. “I feel like I want to follow everyone’s example?”
“I think you are nothing compared to Violet.”
Arin answered in a humble tone.
“As an older sister, I feel so proud to see my younger sister who has grown so much in the time I haven’t seen her.”
Arin was very confused about the current situation.
The Princess Violet he knew did not have this type of personality.
She, who had no interest in running the government, let alone her brothers, is giving herself a boost by giving such awkward compliments.
I could blame it on my mood, but I also thought that he definitely didn’t come for a benevolent purpose.
“Now that I think about it, I heard that Arin’s fiancé also lives in this dormitory, right? Did she say she was Sian Berth?”
The moment Xian was mentioned, a cold feeling of anxiety passed through her head.
“yes. Yes, but… … .”
“I’d like to see you come this far. From what I heard, she said she had a relationship with Arin before she entered school. What does she think of Arin? Did she seem like a good guy?”
“Well, that…” … .”
Arin could not easily answer.
It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say, but it was the worry about whether it was okay to say something that made her head spin.
“If you want to meet, we will come and get you.”
Fabian, who was standing there with an uncomfortable look on his face, volunteered to bring him.
“It is not polite to call the other person arbitrarily during a meeting without prior arrangement. “Before you are Arin’s fiancé, you are the youngest master of the Berthe family. Wouldn’t it be right for us to go?”
Violette stood up as if she was really going to go to Sian’s room.
“Oh, maybe Sian isn’t in the room right now! On weekends, rather than staying in my room, I train with my guardian knight… … .”
“is that so? Then I guess I’ll have to go to my room and wait. “There is nothing urgent, so please wait slowly.”
Waiting wasn’t the problem; getting to Sian’s room was the problem.
If she were alone, wouldn’t she know it? Wouldn’t there be other beings in her room that should never be seen?
Arin should never have taken them to the room in Xian.
“That Xian doesn’t really like people coming to his room, so he’ll probably be displeased if you go!”
Violette’s eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she hadn’t expected Arin’s reaction like that.
“It would be better for me to go and tell the story… … .”
“scale.”
“yes?”
“You’ve grown a lot? I know how to criticize my words… … .”
Violette’s smiling face suddenly became as cold as ice.
However, as if he had never seen it before, he showed his original smile again, and Arin, who watched it, was consumed by the fear she had forgotten for a while and could no longer open her mouth.
“… … !”
Fabian and Nerobien, who were watching this, were silent and only shed cold sweat.
At that moment of awkward silence in the room,
“Sian Bert has come to visit… … .”
There was news of an unexpected visit from someone.
“Xi, Xian is here?”
Arin’s frozen mouth opened again, and at the same time, Violette’s expression subtly changed.
Before long, Xian appeared in front of them.
“Sian Berthe, the youngest child of the Duke of Berthe. “I meet the noble princesses and princes of the empire.”
Despite facing the royal family, Xian greeted with an insensitive gaze instead of feeling nervous.
“Oh, it’s been a while. Sian Bert. No, Lord Xian… … .”
Unlike the princes who greeted her awkwardly because they were at least acquainted with her, Princess Violet’s stern face rarely relaxed.
“Oh, welcome, Lord Xian! I was planning on going to see you in person, but thank you for coming first. “Please sit down instead of standing!”
Soon the awkward expression was gone and hurriedly greeted him as if he were the owner of the room, and Xian naturally sat down next to Arin.
Arin, who had not yet come out of her confusion, looked at Sian cautiously from the corner of her eye.
A calm yet indifferent appearance, no different from usual.
Was he at least relieved to see that familiar sight?
Arin felt that the anxiety that had been building inside her was slowly subsiding.
“I don’t know if we’ve interrupted the weekend routine.”
“it’s okay.”
“What were you doing?”
“I was practicing swordsmanship with the Guardian Knight.”
“oh? So Arin’s prediction was exactly right? “It makes me envious that we already know so well what each other is going to do.”
Despite the unfamiliar compliment, Xian maintained a calm expression.
“As you know, Lord Xian, the shock that Arin received from the unpleasant incident that happened the other day is indescribable. I hope Lord Xian will be there to comfort you. “We came today for that purpose too.”
When the unpleasant incident was mentioned, the prince’s brother’s brows furrowed severely.
Arin also wasn’t comfortable.
Although it may be something that an older sister could say to her younger sibling’s fiancé, the air in the room became heavy as they all knew that the true meaning was not true.
“You mean up?”
At this, Xian raised one corner of his mouth and smiled strangely.
As if her words were very insignificant.
When Violette saw that smile, she felt a very unpleasant feeling, as if her blood was rushing to her stomach.
With strong anxiety that I don’t know why,
“Did you come to give me a bottle and give me medicine?”
Everyone’s faces except Xian turned white.
