Tearmoon Empire Story

Lesson 49: Patricia Thinks

Altogether, the classroom of the special elementary school.

"That's why now, Princess Raffina and Princess Meir are working on a response." So, please, rest assured. Please act calmly. ”

Coming off the podium, staring at the faces of each of the gathered students...... Julius said.

"Don't get short-tempered." That would make the people who help you worse. [M] All you have to do is keep studying. [M] Just be quiet, like nothing happened. I'm sure that what I've worn will be useful in the future. ”

Words of gentleness and care... "

Patricia - Patty was quiet and listening to him. I was listening and watching.

--Sensei Julius, why don't you ask us if we stole it...?

That was the question I had.

Ever since the incident, he never asked.

--Normally, I would appeal to the culprit to name himself... And yet, this man has never said such a thing.

The gentle eyes in the back of her glasses...... Patty noticed the occasional grief-laden light appearing there.

- Because you believe in us? Or are you sympathetic...? If so, it's very... bypassing.

Compassion, kindness, sympathy... Such emotions are nothing but a place to put in.

That's the snake's point of view. Find the weak part of the opponent, poke it, and try to manipulate it.

Patty looked at people with snake eyes.

"As I was taught..."

Finally, Julius leaves the classroom. "As if I was looking after it..."

"Hey, Karon..."

Quietly, the voice of pushing and killing echoed.

You really didn't do it, did you?

Yana thrust her sharp gaze at the boy.

”You're choking me, aren't you?”

A boy who speaks with an unchaste face. While looking at it, Patty was thinking.

- Maybe I didn't lie. That boy was just scared to believe... "

Patty was analyzing the boy's psychology of bringing stealing to Yana.

I was afraid of being betrayed because I believed in the happiness that came. That's why I wanted to prepare myself so that I could be betrayed, and I wanted to assume that I didn't really believe in Yana, who was in the same situation as me.

I feel more comfortable with that. Because it overlaps with the values I know.

--So I didn't really steal it. Even if I steal it, I'll steal something more like I don't know.

As an orphan, I know anyone who has lived in a ghetto. It's very hard to make money to steal a silver platter. Not to mention stealing a silver platter like the one used by the nobility is ridiculous.

If a filthy child takes such a thing, he will definitely be suspected of stealing it, and it will be taken away by an adult.

--The only people who don't know it are those who have never lived in a ghetto. Aristocrats... or not for sale from the beginning...

Either way, Patty decides that Karon wasn't the killer.

"Damn it, I thought you'd have to worry about meals..."

Yana gnashes her teeth in remorse. However, the expression suddenly eased. Because her brother Cyril was taking care of her.

Then Yana turned to the students in the classroom.

Anxious young girls. And the same age as Yana, the children are also looking like they are about to cry.

"Shh, don't worry." Her Royal Highness Princess Meir is very kind. As Sensei Julius said, if you believe and wait..... "

The words disappear into the asshole. Yana knows how difficult it is to make the children who are most far from believing accept the words...

Patty looked at the sight in silence.

Yana is desperate to protect her brother. Apparently, Patty sighed quietly to her hard-working friend, who looked like a leader and cared about the others.

--If you hold a lot of things like that, you'll have to let go of them all. I... I don't do that.

I closed my eyes gently, and there was a face that came to my mind.

"I can't feel my vitality, my thin face..." My brother... Hannes' face.

--To save her, we need the knowledge of snakes. To do that... I have to be a snake.

That's Patty's principle of behavior. To save her only fleshly relative, she chose to rely on the knowledge of the snake.

... honestly, Patty doesn't like snakes.

For the ideal of the serpent, there shall be many sacrifices of this sister and brother in front of them.

Besides, I'm sure if you say you've made friends with these kids, you'll be holding them hostage and doing things you don't want them to do.

Or would you kill in front of your eyes and carve out despair?

Either way, there's no way you can like that kind of thing.

--The snake has its roots in the hopelessness of the weak. "You can't escape that poison..."

A woman's voice as a teacher echoed in her head. Even if you plug your ears, it will never go away. The voice that binds Patty's heart.

There were three serpentine teachers that Patty had ever taught. All of them were shady, tangled voices.

But... this time, the serpent teacher was a little different.

- Sensei Meir... what's with that guy?

Patty didn't really dislike that person trying to trick the Empire Princess into playing it.

--Ever since I got here, there's been so much I don't know. Or are you trying to test me?

In any case, Patty had a job to do.

Obedient to the serpent's teachings, never defying them... "

- To save Hannes.

"To save my only fleshly relative, my brother, from illness..."
