(I don't want to go to school...)
The day after the triumphant party.
Isaac's mood was sinking.
I haven't had a closing ceremony yet, so I have to go to school like a student.
But in the same class are Amanda and Tiffany.
Isaac wasn't ready to face them yet.
The thought of not wanting to face each other blunts Isaac's steps.
"I know how you feel. Isn't it a good idea to walk with your shoulders down like that?
"Whatever you do, you just seem to be talking about 'failed'.... after the clash between His Royal Highness Loretta and Amanda, so we need to be dignified."
Paul and Kai look at Isaac and point out that you should correct your posture.
They were also off morning practice for the club today and attending school with Isaac.
It was supposed to be, "You did something amazing!" I almost complimented him, "but the impact of yesterday's events was too strong to make me feel that way.
"I know... I've decided to talk to you individually, but it's awkward to look at each other before we discuss it properly."
Isaac exhales.
Though I fell asleep feeling well last night, when I woke up and realized I had to face a hard reality, I felt down all at once.
It would have been different if we had at least discussed it in Sashi, but now I'm still not willing to talk directly.
- What do they say?
- What rumors are circulating?
I didn't feel comfortable considering that.
(Even Nicole won't just be watching... Student life is more than a year away. What the hell is going to happen...)
The more I think about it, the more I dislike it.
When I arrived at the school gate, I was concerned about my surrounding gaze and my cheeks caught on.
Besides, even Neil, who is in charge, is looking at this one and inviting him.
(Hmm? Teacher?
Isaac approaches him, wondering why he's being called by a teacher.
"Hey, it's been a lot of trouble? I'm listening."
"Yeah, well, quite..."
(How far!?
The anti-dragon journey was also tough, but I felt tough when I left.
Isaac didn't know how far Neil was talking about it.
But that didn't matter to Neil.
"You'll want to talk to everyone, but you're going to have to be patient today. I have a test."
"Is that a test? We should have been talking about grades this semester based on the first semester's grades..."
"Exactly. Just because you don't have to go to school is to find out if you haven't neglected to study. Well, the results aren't important, so just think of it as an opportunity to test your strengths regardless of your grades"
"Ok...... See you later."
Had it been on winter break when we arrived in Wangdu, there wouldn't have been any tests.
But not yet.
I guess you want to check your academic achievement for once, more than this is the school.
Isaac decided to follow suit.
Say "I'll see you later" to your friends and break up.
Because I just need to see you between classes and for lunch break.
- But Isaac never saw his friends again during the holidays.
"Uh, can't I see my friends until after school today?
Neil taught me a hell of a new fact as I was walking down the hall.
"That's right. The test questions are the same. Even though it has nothing to do with grades for once, it doesn't make sense to test if a friend tells you. And well...... Ha, I have to tell you this too."
Neil looks disgusted by the outspoken.
"I have a word I'm keeping from the Dean of the College." It will be hard to do when your classmate has a courtesan from the Marquis Wallick family. I think you're tired from the long journey, so take your time today or so '. Though I did do well, I only try to make it convenient for certain students... "
Sometimes I don't like it as an educator, but I guess I didn't like it better when it was used by the dean's sesame seeds.
He seemed dissatisfied with the way he spoke.
But Isaac isn't.
Contrary to him, I couldn't hide my happy expression.
(Principal Yikes! It wasn't. Dean of the Academy. Ooh! You're the best! That's good for the world!
One day, yeah, just one day.
But this past day has been huge.
It will be two holidays tomorrow.
This is your chance to have a one-on-one discussion at a later date without having to face to face at school.
I just wanted to thank you for your meticulous attention.
Neil stopped in front of an empty class.
When he opened the door, Nicholas sat in the front row seat and waited.
"Let Nicholas take the test, too. I don't think you need to tell me, but get along. The exam supervisor will come later, so as to study and wait until then"
"Okay."
Isaac's heart was clear when he got room for his mind unexpectedly.
It is not a problem for Isaac, as it is not bitter to take the test of this world.
Although it was a sudden test, it never felt heavy.
"Good morning. That sounds like a lot of room."
But Nicholas isn't.
Even though Isaac was watching me study, there are some anxious subjects.
Social studies.
Even if the history and geography of the kingdom of Fartil has long been studied, those of the Reid kingdom are basically just recently learned knowledge.
I was anxious when it came to social studies because I couldn't study ahead of time.
I still wanted to keep a good score, albeit a test that wouldn't be reflected in my grades.
"Good morning, because it's a test you don't have to worry about scoring.... By the way, how did His Highness Loretta look?
Isaac asks what he cares about as he sits next to Nicholas.
Even though Loretta has different classes, being in the same college doesn't make any difference.
I wanted to make sure how things were going beforehand because I might end up looking at each other perfectly.
"Your Highness was sorry. But I didn't say grudge."
"Well, I was reflecting that I did something sorry. I'm not angry. I'm not angry."
Isaac gives a voice of joy in his heart, careful not to put it on his expression.
I can't help but hate you, but I have trouble being hostile.
The worst thing that could have been avoided was a good story for Isaac now.
"I'm going to send a messenger and ask him when he'd like to have a discussion day. I have to apologize."
"I have an appointment tomorrow. They said they wanted to discuss it a little faster, so they had plans open."
"Oh, yeah. Well, I guess I'll send a messenger when I get back to the mansion."
(Wow, do it. I knew you were mad at me)
I guess wanting to see you soon means wanting to see you before you can't wake up angry in time.
Though I relieved myself once, I still get scared to see him.
For this reason, I try to change the subject as usual.
"Though I had a lot to learn on this trip, I guess I'm a little anxious when it comes to schooling. Even though I was studying, I didn't know how far I could go to the test."
"Right. Even though Brother Isaac was teaching me how to study, I'm still anxious. But I've learned so much on the road that I don't regret it. Above all, you wanted to be someone like Brother Isaac, but it was huge that you realized you couldn't do it."
"I'm glad to hear it."
When Isaac laughed huffy, Nicholas laughed the same way.
Tell the younger kid, "I want to be like your brother. But I couldn't do it to myself," I don't feel bad.
At the same time, I feel responsible for continuing to work hard not to disappoint you.
(You want to be like me? I can't believe you're going to say it that way...... Hmm?)
And I noticed one question.
"... before you left, you said, 'If you want to use it, you should do it efficiently' or something, right? Is that my imitation, too?
"Yes, I am."
Nicholas said plainly.
Isaac is also distracted by this.
"No, what, seriously... I don't remember saying that..."
"That was after they did a hell of a lot of work, so I thought you were like the predecessor Marquis Welrod. I could only talk a little bit about it at Sonicroft, and you haven't had much chance to talk about it as a body since you came to the Reid kingdom. I was just imitating it from the impression that you were like the predecessor Marquis Welrod. Don't worry, I know it's different now. I'm not doing that anymore."
Nicholas rushes to excuse himself when he sees Isaac in shock.
As far as he was concerned, he was just imitating a hero of salvation.
If I had said, "We should use it efficiently," I would have felt like approaching a wise man like Isaac.
That is all.
At least, there's something Jude would have said, so if you had his image, you can't say it was a mistake.
Isaac, too, feels like he knows a little about Nicholas' feelings.
So I didn't mean to scold you harshly or anything.
"Lend me one."
"Yes......"
So I decided to just make a loan.
(Please, cover me when I talk to Loretta. I'm really asking you. I don't know if I'll be there.)
All Isaac wants is backup during discussions with Loretta.
If you're going to give me support there, you can forget it.
That was about it.
But Nicholas was different.
When I was getting along with Kendra, I noticed that you were being turned to a caged gaze of murder.
Even though Isaac and I had some bottom line of getting closer together, it was supposed to have been an interaction with relatives Kendra.
He was taking it seriously that this debt was going to be so huge.
When Nicholas swallows Gokuri and Spit, the classroom door opens.
"Come on, it's time for a fun, fun test. Students study for the time being. Even though you were tasked with important tasks, you didn't put your studies behind you, did you? Now, let me show you how you two feel."
It was a female teacher who came in.
Unlike Neil, I guess the dean hasn't informed me what it means to do a test.
Purely a test, I was trying to find out how Isaac and Nicholas felt as students.
(About as much room for testing in this world. Because the problems that remain after this are harder!... oh, I'm getting disgusted)
Isaac tried to work on the test positively, but became the feather to be tested depressed because of his deep overthought.
----------
Meanwhile, around that time, Morgan and Randolph had been summoned to a room in the Royal Palace.
It was Elias who called.
It was an official apology.
"I had forgotten that Lord Enfield was a valuable heir to the Marquis Welrod family. Though I trusted you, I shouldn't have easily sent you on a mission that would have cost you your life if you had taken a wrong step. I am also sorry that I did not listen to Marquis Welrod, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that he has hurt Fujiko. I'm so sorry."
Keep your head down as deep as Elias is likely to have a head on the table.
Heads up, I see Randolph next.
"Viscount Saunders would also have been quite wolfish to hear that his son would be sent to his place of death. I have a son, too. It was an unlikely order if you think of it as a single parent. I'm really sorry I did that."
"No, I was certainly surprised at first, but I wasn't so worried because I felt Lord Enfield would likely be back safely. He acted like he wouldn't worry about me, too, so don't worry about it."
Morgan received his apology with dignity, but Randolph had wandered off.
I was not dissatisfied with Isaac being sent to fight the dragon, but not so dissatisfied as to demand the king's own apology.
This was because, as he said, there was trust in Isaac.
In Randolph's words, Elias also feels just a little lighter.
"This is only an excuse, but Lord Enfield's character seemed too good to have made him sweet. If that was my predecessor Marquis Welrod...... I wouldn't have been able to give orders as easily as that."
"I guess so."
Morgan agrees with Elias.
Because I can't think of Jude being ordered by Elias to "do something about the dragon for a second".
- Being that even a king cannot easily command.
That was Jude.
But it didn't mean that I didn't like being ordered because the work I was ordered to do perfectly.
I was just haunted by the atmosphere that it was too cut to be used cheaply.
Isaac doesn't have it.
"Lord Enfield has become a duke, and if you still order him to 'pour wine,' he has the atmosphere to follow easily."
The feeling of Elias is hit.
In fact, if Isaac had been commanded by Elias, he would have poured wine without making an unpleasant face.
"Normal enough to pour alcohol on the King (the president)," or so, but it should have moved as ordered.
"My predecessor, Marquis Welrod, was just a man who needed to be prepared to say, 'Do we have to use such a person when we become king one day?', and he was sweetened by Lord Enfield's ease of handling. It's stranger to keep track of achievements that way and not make you feel dignified or anything. Perhaps that's also a pseudo to fool people. I was totally fooled, too. I have forgotten my pride and concern for my surroundings because of it"
Elias sincerely regrets it.
With a little clue, I lost so much trust that Isaac asked me for the right to reject the order.
At that time, it would have turned out differently if I had asked Morgan for his opinion.
Both that and this was due to Isaac's uneasiness.
"But I didn't take it lightly on Marquis Welrod. I don't want you to get me wrong there. As much as I have ever left my name in my hands when I needed it, such as condolences to the Kingdom of Rockwell. I want you to remember that I trust you. When I dispatched Lord Enfield, I only ordered the momentum on the spot. That was a mistake due to my detour. I'm so sorry."
Elias explains that he was not taking Morgan lightly.
But what Morgan cares about is the tragedy that wasn't there.
Words of apology also end in empty results.
Nevertheless, ostensibly, we must take the form of accepting apologies.
"Your Majesty, the important thing is not to make the same mistake. It is not for anyone to realize a mistake and admit it. Let's flush this one down to the water."
"Lord Welrod......"
Elias makes his eyes shine on Morgan's kind words.
"But that's it. If anything goes wrong, I would like to receive an official document stating that we view the Marquis Wellrod family significantly. If Lord Enfield moves, things move a lot. Some of them will be like upsetting the royal family. We don't want the Marquis Welrod family to be overwhelmed by a temporary mess."
"... ok. Let's get you the paperwork you need. I'm so sorry. Don't be mad at me."
Morgan captures the verbal butt and sticks his demands to Elias.
I will help Isaac.
I'll cooperate, but I don't know if Isaac can stand it when he's about to fail.
I've been secretly prepared to be unnoticed for years.
Even if I can't do it, I might carry out the plan.
In preparation for that, I was trying to get insurance in the form of an official document.
Even with official documents, I would have a narrow shoulder for the moment if I had planned a rebellion.
But if the house continues, one day it can float.
This interview was a good opportunity for Morgan, who wanted to have insurance to avoid the worst.
He and I are the masters of the Marquis Welrod family.
I've been shredding my sneeze with other nobles.
It was as easy as putting demands on those who felt attracted.
