Episode 67. To Hwangseong (4)
I’m not bragging, but wherever I go, I always hear this.
His face looks dull and always dark.
Even now, I didn’t understand why she was saying those things because of my face, but as I was looking at this girl in front of me, I felt like I knew a little bit what she meant.
Short ponytail hair in cool sky blue.
A face so cute that a father with a daughter would be scared to show it outside.
However, I think even people with such bad intentions will give up their hearts and run away in fear the moment they look into that girl’s eyes.
The eyes are so dark that they are so gloomy that they are so poisonous.
I once again wondered if other people who had looked into my eyes felt this way.
Do you know this guy?
at all.
It’s a completely new experience that I’ve never seen in passing in my entire life.
Nevertheless, this girl now called my name.
So that means you know me.
“Do you know me?”
As soon as he came to our table in the corner and started talking, I also asked questions calmly.
“yes. You are a third-year student at the Royal Academy. “There’s no way I wouldn’t know someone famous at the Academy.”
The girl’s words were calm yet clear.
Honestly, the only way to become famous is to not show up for class, right?
For now, I answered without showing any signs of it.
“Oh, well, even celebrities. “So you’re also an academy student?”
“Yes, I am a second year student. name is… … “Please call me Lunav.”
They say that if you’re a sophomore, you’re not a freshman, but why bother omitting your last name and only saying your first name?
I wondered if it was really necessary, but since it wasn’t really a part-time job, I decided to skip it for now.
“sorry. “I’m not the type to remember the faces of my juniors.”
“are you okay. “Actually, I’m sick, so I don’t come to class very often.”
I was a little embarrassed because he was so kindly telling me things that I didn’t even ask about.
“First of all, since you called me junior, can I call you senior too? Senior Xian?”
Then, he suddenly sat down in the empty seat.
Is this a good attachment? Or is it just a cheesy thing?
Since I don’t really care about titles, I said just that for now.
As she sat down, her eyes immediately turned to Nana and Brian.
“… … !”
I don’t know what family she is from because she didn’t give her last name, but since she is said to belong to the Royal Academy, there is a high probability that she is also a noble.
Nana and Brian’s shoulders suddenly shrank.
“Looking at you, you look like a maid and a guardian knight. You seem to be getting along really well. Eating in one place… … .”
“Well, it’s kind of like that. “There’s no need to sit separately, right?”
“That is correct. “It looks like there are a lot more people than you think.”
I’m a little confused as to whether it’s a compliment or an insult, but seeing the way his eyes light up a little, I don’t think it’s an insult.
“Excuse me.”
Two waiters came over to serve the prepared food.
Since there were more than ten plates, it took a year to serve them.
Lunav stared at the food filled to the brim as if her upper legs would break.
“Are you eating all of this?”
“Yeah, right. My servants tend to eat a lot… … .”
These are exactly the foods Nana would eat.
“I will eat well, green onion…” … “No, master!”
Nana began happily eating the prepared food as she always did.
A girl named Lunav was looking at Nana eating with slightly raised eyes, as if the sight was quite fascinating.
Now that I look at it, the robe the girl is wearing looks somewhat familiar.
A blue robe similar to the light emitted when mana is generated.
I’m not sure because I haven’t seen the back of the head yet, but there was only one place on this continent that would wear those stylish clothes.
“Are you a member of the Garam Kingdom Magic Society?”
Lunav responded with a dry look.
“yes that’s right. “How did you know?”
“I just knew from what you were wearing. “You can’t wear that Mana Robe just anywhere.”
“You have a good eye for attention.”
I could feel some unexplainable emotion from the slightly raised eyebrows.
“But from what I heard, you don’t leave the academy even during vacation. What are you doing here in Hwangseong?”
For a moment, I had a bit of doubt as to whether I should hear something like that from a stranger from another country.
Actually, I think I should ask that question right?
Although it was strange, since I was asked, I decided to answer.
“I received an invitation to a banquet from the imperial family. “I came here to attend.”
She tilted her head as if she was surprised.
“It’s surprising. “I thought my senior wouldn’t come to a place like this because I thought he was a loner, but I’m still very glad.”
Why is that fortunate for you?
The moment I was about to ask a question, she took out a familiar piece of paper from her arms.
“I also came because I was invited to the imperial banquet. Actually, it was a place I really didn’t want to come to, but my grandfather insisted that I had to go. “I’m glad I have a senior at least.”

If anyone hears it, they will think that we are seniors and juniors who have been close friends for 10 years.
As I was pondering whether to explain the dictionary meaning of the word fortunate, a number of people wearing blue robes appeared from around the corner.
Judging from the atmosphere, it seemed like he was her companion.
Some people were unable to control their facial expressions, such as frowning when they saw my face.
“I’m sorry for interrupting your meal. I hope you enjoy your meal and see you again at the banquet. Senior Xian.”
I don’t know how to react as he politely puts his hands together and bows down to his waist.
For now, I just waved my hand awkwardly.
A strange feeling, like rain in a dry sky.
It is not a fourth dimension at all.
What on earth did you want to say?
Now that I’m there, I want to stop worrying and just eat, and that’s the moment I grab the spoon.
“And my name is Lunab Rainriver… … .”
“… … ?”
“Please remember. Senior Xian.”
He said his full name with a meaningless smile and then disappeared from my sight.
The right hand holding the spoon stayed in the air for a while without moving a single word.
“Lane River… … ?”
* * *
After finishing the meal, I went into a random inn nearby and found a room.
If you go to the castle, they will give you a guest room, but there is no need to stay within their enclosure.
I plan to attend the banquet on time as much as possible.
As I sat on the chair and looked out the window at the rising moon, I couldn’t help but be concerned about the girl I saw that evening.
Garam Kingdom Magic Society.
A place where crazy people gather who will not hesitate to do any research for the advancement of magic.
The leader of those crazy people is the Rainriver family.
Regens Lane River.
He’s a very crazy person who doesn’t hesitate to use his own family as test subjects at times.
Lunav Rainriver… … .
When I heard only the first name and not the last name, I had no idea who it was.
I thought she was just the daughter or granddaughter of an influential family affiliated with the academy.
I never would have guessed that he was a blood descendant of the Rainriver family.
The grandfather who sent her was probably the president of the academy, Yeongtaeng.
Looking back, I vaguely remember it.
A rare holder whose attribute values are not biased towards one side, but who possesses a total of 20% of each of the five attributes of fire, water, wind, light, and darkness.
In other words, it means that he is an incredibly talented person who can unleash his magic by equally exercising the power of all five attributes, rather than being biased towards one side.
Maybe you can say that you are more valuable than someone like me who is extremely biased towards one attribute.
Because it means that the range of magic that can be used is that wide.
Of course, there is a limit to any attribute where it cannot go up any further at a certain point.
Anyway, even though she had such great attributes and family, that girl was not in my memory.
There is no particular reason.
This is because it died early before it could even bloom.
It’s probably true that I was sick.
In fact, she died of illness before graduating from the academy.
I didn’t pay much attention at the time and passed by, but I had no idea it was that girl.
Anyway, it’s none of my business.
Whether you come to the banquet or not is up to you.
I’m not a senior who is relaxed enough to care about my sick junior.
“… … .”
A familiar energy suddenly passes through my touch.
I got up from my seat and prepared to leave.
“Where are you going, master?”
Brian, who was exercising, looked at me and asked.
“Have a drink. “I’m watching carefully.”
Nana had already left for dreamland a long time ago.
I soon came out of the inn and headed into a dark alley without moonlight.
As I moved forward through the cold night air, a man soon appeared.
“long time no see. “Master Xian.”
It was Eshel’s loyal squire, Kelin Diego.
“There is no need for a long greeting. “Just tell me what you want.”
Despite the stiff answer, Kelin continued speaking without showing any expression.
“In about 10 minutes from now, a number of infiltrators will surround Master Xian.”
“Where did you send it?”
“This is Master Eshel.”
I burst into laughter without realizing it.
“If I knew there was some force around me, wouldn’t I be able to do that? “Why did you bother sending it now?”
“I think they took advantage of the fact that it was a royal castle. “I think you, like us, thought that there would be no stabbing here.”
No matter where you are, the meaning of the land of beginning is never small.
The same goes for Sebelinas here.
The imperial family absolutely does not tolerate crimes occurring within Sebelinas.
If you slaughter without knowing what to do, you will be caught up in the imperial surveillance network, which is a very annoying problem.
Are you using this as an opportunity to spy on me?
I don’t think you were specifically aiming for it, but your timing was good.
“okay. “Watch everything and pass it on.”
“All right.”
Kelin accepted the instructions and lowered his head.
However, he did not turn around and continued to look at me.
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
Kelin asked in a somewhat cautious tone.
“Is there any other reason why you are attending this banquet?”
If I had to explain it one more time, Kelin’s personality has now changed.
The existing personality that tried to give everything to Eshel is asleep, and the new personality I injected into him is eating into his body.
In other words, you could say that the intention of that question was only for me.
But there’s no need to tell me everything.
“if there is?”
I answered with a retort that hid my true feelings.
“I don’t know what you plan to do, but I think it would be a good idea to hold off for a while.”
“The reason is?”
“I don’t know the specifics. However, there seems to be some kind of plan between the First Prince and Master Eshel at this banquet.”
stratagem?
This was an issue that could not be ignored.
“what is that?”
“It’s an assassination.”
I was so dumbfounded for a moment that my pupils dilated greatly.
assassination?
It’s not only fun, it’s so cute, isn’t it?
“Who is the target?”
“This is Lunav Rainriver.”
The name is not familiar, but there is no way you wouldn’t know it.
Now, at this moment, all the distracting thoughts were put aside and only one thought filled my head.
Are you crazy?
