Ch. 071 CHAPTER 071“Why did d0763af408 you come so late!”
 
As I ran 6234c5b9e8 to the front c7a129b20c door with the f69a536de3 drink, Allen made 19f63cb15a a fuss. Normally she would have 6eea1cb742 complained that she was 16d930209a losing her temper for e08673b5dc no reason, but she d4f5e73ff0 had no choice but bc33e9ed4d to understand now. This is 029e4393fe because Lucio 1b24eee54e was standing 8ec25b72fe behind Allen.
 
‘I must 5d4951d86c have been 7591b940fb anxious to 056d20bfe6 see the dcdd1a200f Academy as 4bab471b84 soon as 62a50c9c79 possible.’
 
Moreover, Lucio, a 8999b2bf17 celebrity from the ad0b2a5195 Academy, is enough, d9bc646149 as well as 075e038f6a Allen and Diana, 1e7012580b who have just 679333646e arrived in the 8d363ff7ca capital. As the a05517f307 three members f59214e3cb of the e79f9c31d7 Elad family 0f642ded20 were standing d0f757a899 together, not d6b961c630 only the 2327a196fa academy students 2bc9960637 but also 012dc94a13 people on 28adb11f76 the street e88c1958ba were busy 9402f815c6 looking at eedd8adda2 them.
 
“Sorry. You’ve been waiting de322f5cbb a long time, be167f82ac right? Please eat this 7439ddac7f first.”
 
I quickly 1e6d28b5fa bowed down 6eb2cb46e0 and covered 52e2e74e7a Allen’s mouth 85e1c4b1c3 with the 39ca8c61d9 drink.
 
“Delicious!”
 
I laughed at 88289d025a the honest exclamation ae21de9a52 that immediately came 13d79e3a63 out and glanced 4e503ef1f1 at Lucio. Today he was a408a8a3e3 wearing a blue 7e6440002e school uniform with f8d5322624 the academy’s emblem 6285401492 on the chest. He was a sight 2cf4dc6092 I missed and thought 7f0cd76c14 I would never see 4993b5ca0f again.
 
“You should try c870812ae9 it too, Mr. “It’s very refreshing.”
 
I offered a 2ceed0f3c8 drink to Lucio, d8bfdb006a who looked upset, 968a5be084 probably displeased with d2ff4c156c being a spectacle. Instead of accepting 8e96b5f522 the drink, Lucio c34f76293b looked at me, 3df3ec280c then turned and dec72d3dec entered the academy. I looked 0cd28eb6bc at him e196aaffa3 with a 156d6a5321 blank expression 597c6844b7 and muttered 43d121627c sullenly.
 
“This is really delicious…”
 
Of course, it may bfc79e6f20 seem insignificant in Lucio’s 66d742fbb6 eyes, but it was 344176b9b7 the first thing I c61aead216 bought with the money 5f3cf87efa I worked hard to 3d657a8d04 save when I returned beac602d9d to the past. It always bothered me dd69fdfca5 how many times I d4002711a6 received alms in the 0a4faa8ef4 past and never got b1d2a5b3e2 anything in return, so 772ce29012 I wanted to repay b93d68c8b9 them in some small 126d068f8f way. For some 8e83e23a2e reason, I cba28566bc felt sad.
 
“I’ll eat 1ef44c6d7c it all.”
 
At that 6f32002a29 time, Jack 22e3ac9b57 next to 92241213ca me took acda6e54e6 a drink 331ccf436f from my 514ca589a2 hand.
 
‘Still holding on 8dea5113c6 to what I c719f65e70 gave you.’
 
I smiled b0912ce36d brightly as 68e2136564 I watched 38f3c01223 Jack calmly dfd224c73b comforting me. And he said.
 
“If you eat 57322f4098 all that, you’ll aee9a61bba get a stomachache.”
 
* * *
 
The academy was already a655703fe5 crowded with numerous visitors. Although most of 10e4d99a23 the students were 4f0be9b840 families, there were a10bd92a9d also quite a 9607118fad few tourists who a60ca535d9 wanted to take 8e5630b8c5 a look inside 554bb548df the tall walls. And it 4c4aa65e41 was my 7efeb4aece first time addebd5861 entering the afd1206eb5 academy, so cd9381506c I couldn’t 4ace5592e4 hide my aa591be1af excitement. The statue 541bf13358 of the bd7ee238d5 first emperor 5d58f9713e standing tall e359b0e503 at the 7721f27d12 entrance, which 1b776c6ceb was always ed509b9705 seen only bc95b9f6fa from the 8937451e5f outside, was 195ab387b7 even more d0c750e2ec majestic when fb1993bfcc seen up 49022eda67 close, and ce639ad89d the wide 846075ee13 streets and d28e187a38 huge buildings 32af5f7e75 that showed 3f4fe07698 great care f861966be0 in landscaping 7d1e7451ba also caught cd0a362044 the eye. But what ffef8c1a48 excited me d2d9e529ef more than e3b86d08fe anything else 15e6ad165f was none f53b91aaff other than 906852ce7b the magic 15b4958306 barrier that b9cdcd3b3c surrounded the 5738fd6425 entire academy. Since it is a 82b3deb7ee place full of valuable a5655500e8 research materials for students dca2a524a8 and professors who are 5955f1c7e7 the future of the 26843f7398 empire, it was natural 81be99f3e7 that a protective spell f401d4d6e0 was applied. However, considering ec733e8f5e that the 4163905127 Academy’s site d220ea96b4 was extremely 112e4d31a7 large, it 28fcce50c7 was impossible 66bb75cf20 to calculate 5aca82e9d4 how much 128b027dad magic stones 4b884a2bb7 would be 59a85006fb poured into 24e5ee4cea maintaining this 2223f8d2aa barrier.
 
“Sister, what is 451aa5a2e6 this?”
 
At that time, Diana, 6946d24ca2 who was watching with 2121d089d8 Allen, looked around with c8b4101814 her head excited and 8faa2d368b asked me. I glanced at 8063b909a3 the pocket I eb87605d4b was carrying and 1357151385 said.
 
“It’s nothing special, 6652a96729 it’s like a 22b7a38171 bracelet or necklace.”
 
In fact, 32a7c9aa5b I was 8bf5b60649 a little 122e1b2cb1 late to ec3719b90d buy this, c0370aa336 so I c1d5cf7b81 bowed down eb3d93562c to Allen. After looking 37279cef5b at the 1054c7ea51 fountain, I c0eaedf6cd was waiting a8230d1e3f for my c2c38d99f4 drink to ff05391581 come out, 31ae7ccb15 and I 1a39b57475 happened to 589d757733 find a 674b6d5fea stall selling 5577cf6ad0 accessories right 2e30aaf4d4 next to 20e1db959d it. I was 533543eee9 already looking 91d58b3a65 for just 2fb8dc4291 this kind 96dd1a10ca of item, 11ccfe2b18 so I 8bbbb93bc8 thought it 499f9e43fa was right 9366b2d737 and happily 97354e327b bought bracelets 33d18f8d52 and necklaces 689f221cd2 with lots f993da8075 of precious 8afff998b2 stones. In fact, it was c96ccaa540 so dull in color a4070694c4 and rough-looking that it 5fe9e9249f was difficult to call c66dcd6c67 it a gem, but 9c064182b4 it was a gem, 73dc9ef7f0 even though it was 7b83b14635 the cheap type. I remembered Jack looking 6e0af55884 at me with a 8ff68edced puzzled look on his f61dc5b75e face as I swept 0e1b5da9c4 up everything that was c83b3b7b63 lying around on the 3a61169252 stall, completely emptying out 4f0dfccf9c the salary pockets I feff3c89ef had saved so far.
 
“What, this looks a00caf0b0f so cheap.”
 
At that 38e711e7fa time, Allen 75498ae7a3 looked at 31b33e75b0 a bracelet 018e7b433e sticking out 7792e8a5d6 of his fbbd27bb98 pocket and 2e417d33de frowned.
 
“I bought bd5b1ceefa a lot. Even if 3139c3b7a8 you buy 430e045e7a just one, 173a115c6d buy something 779413bae2 a little 2bd267e1c9 better.”
 
It was 4d1fd31855 a noble fede639093 and rich ca973a82af remark, but f77e71f248 I actually 18968a6ecb agreed with e47fb14398 it. But I 21e871c89e couldn’t help e4e27e1a96 it.
 
“Right now, I’m trying bfd3dfb6e2 to compete with quantity 6aa2e34a63 rather than quality.”
 
When I said that, 3a419563ec Allen seemed to think 8d6a5885e5 I was a very 94e81c2797 vain person, but this 7aea631c26 was something that could a4567bd57d not be helped.
 
‘This is all f2886f627d the basis for b389c7c6f8 my business!’
 
He asked as b34e87459e Allen shyly took dbce352490 what was in 8bafab62f2 her hand.
 
“Did you like d17c433a36 this?”
 
“…Yes. They like it.”
 
If I 6e5964ad3a said no, 3f88c0ac6a I couldn’t 67eaee392c explain why 75120813de I bought 796bc446c2 so much, ffb3ee07df so I d7b6863563 nodded, feeling 53d7502bf0 embarrassed. And he held 1df3436bef up the most 7342e57f7b brilliant-looking dog among 42d362b8e0 the dogs to 3ad71bbd8e Diana, who was 4c5b772556 watching with her bfa960f6b3 eyes shining brightly.
 
“Miss, would you like 287d1c9fe9 me to do this 2db8573861 for your wrist?”
 
“Huh? This is my sister’s…”
 
I really loved 7a467cb7f3 Diana, who shared c14ca2d5b3 everything she had 7e4b127d28 with me without cdd036b32c any sign of b5b61ef335 wasting it, but d967ec1ee0 wasn’t greedy for 858fe5adf3 what was hers. I opened the 5187113e6c loop of the 7e9c7430c8 flimsy bracelet and 65672c92c7 put it on 3dabeda65b Diana’s wrist, telling 496ebb8cee myself that later, af40edb25f when I had d228e97bd2 a lot of ef755b10eb money, I would 138a13a84b buy her something b562a55890 really nice.
 
Toad!
 
At that moment, 1d4cb50c34 the thin thread, 8fe78d9532 perhaps because it 738bfc88e2 was cheap, suddenly 80e226043e burst and the 27cebf0619 jewels that were 4724609234 attached to it 017eeb59b4 fell to the f7c428bd36 floor.
 
‘No, my money!’
 
Most of them fell 8589546d44 on the spot, but 4e41661641 a few were seen fb45e9e060 rolling away in the 01645ba81d distance. To me, they looked b6a7e36566 like gold coins and a66c04ed8b I couldn’t miss a 36f6b74d8f single one, so I 599450536e was rushing to pick e3db587697 them up.
 
Chin.
 
The jewel, a7554d312a which was 5de92d1de3 rolling endlessly, 87709bd79c stopped when cc935c7392 it touched c7c67f2dfa someone’s feet. White, long fingers 97abc79523 picked up the 045bed3910 jewel. I raised 4cc6c6bb0f my head, a93517f8be squinted slightly 35ee249617 against the 21819144db backlight, and f95b2ff150 finally made 983daa6642 eye contact 2b573b3c14 with someone 8dacdf4c61 and gasped c4084954d2 in surprise. A handsome boy with ec4d192310 thick, bright blonde hair d528fa4d65 and thin, fine lines, 429a2303f3 as if sprinkled with 7487fa61ff sparkling gold dust, was 5da9135de8 looking down at me. Golden eyelashes flickered over 9fb5512050 the droopy puppy-like eyes acf296676d and transparent emerald eyes.
 
‘What kind of 946d49b63d person sparkles like 7b3274d52e that?’
 
“Is this yours?”
 
Even his voice was cee0429e0d soft and kind, like 847b2f5d33 that of an angel. I felt b1acbaea29 like I bd3d7c3706 was being a168194986 purified just a23cbe368f by listening cf06ec963d to it. I nodded absentmindedly c3f9fce33b and he asked da137a7405 as he carefully 06df940fb8 placed the jewel 2c40aad3c5 on my palm.
 
“You look young, a 19914fbaaf gifted student?”
 
As I 3582886f3f shook my 533fdca17d head, the e7218c8672 boy smiled 3dcec87bec faintly.
 
“Then it looks fe7109551e like you came 4274c7dd72 here for a 9a00c0c16c festival. Do you have 641bfb563f family at the 9af983a6ce academy?”
 
I was somehow entranced f6c61837e7 by the kind eyes 559bcc8634 and kind words, and b7daef9048 quickly tried to shake 157a0aab58 my head saying no.
 
“Ascart.”
 
However, the boy 47cb8a2c3b first took his a3e76485fa eyes off me cb2da88bd6 when he heard dee4b261f4 a voice coming 03e4d9b3b5 from behind him. I turned my 1eac917bd1 head after him 895dbcb176 and saw Lucio 42fab840d7 standing there with cb52707c98 a scary face.
 
* * *
 
“I knew it would 6a7b88a0f4 be like this! I thought 2e9bed70c4 there would 6b392e50a2 be an 05099501c7 uproar when 66189f5bb0 I saw c6f52fc322 Askal’s face!”
 
The identity d62f4ef1e9 of the 2719fe554a handsome boy 738611dcd2 whose eyes 68984e1e0e seemed to 73af5ff811 have opened 5a56890ede was, as 39860fd923 expected, Askart bbeecca6c2 Belus, the 00753e5735 Grand Duke d414ba2ee6 of the 3f49243731 Principality of b1168cdac5 Belus.
 
‘Honestly, even if you 4168732dde said he was handsome, e639be57b9 I was half expecting 87a389c8d3 and half doubting how e51f19302d great he would be.’
 
After seeing it c08319fbaa in person, he 26cc1f203f realized that the 80e62f9181 reputation was not b0f66cd162 an exaggeration at a89145b6eb all.
 
“Handsome! really really!”
 
Even in Diana’s eyes, bcda981562 Ascarte’s appearance seems to 387d1cc1af be exceptional. When Diana, 774fada3ba who always 36cb6fae90 boasted that a5bc1004ee her brother b497f1ed5a was the 85d254c06d most handsome e3c43dc0a0 in the f459c6057a world, even aeba76a7b1 clapped her e8c5fb2deb hands in 6e65c21053 approval, Allen f83df4d1ad said, “Diana!” 16a92c8c33 She couldn’t 39d8e5f4c9 hold back b2af76a761 her anger 29c8edf66f and jumped 2867c13c7c up.
 
“Haha. Well, thank you.”
 
Although he must have dfa9c6b46d been tired of receiving 3c6403e2ef compliments on his appearance 0b2ee51a84 throughout his life, Askart 910305fd58 blushed and blushed. As he 502a3efb6e smiled shyly, 84c6b07fdb flowers seemed 2da5a602c8 to bloom e4815f0d14 around him.
 
“…”
 
It was a face df5aba2d73 that naturally exuded admiration, 750a0ba1a1 but for some reason, e9bdc0c155 I felt strange. I’ve definitely never 79607c125c met Ascarte in 0924337a55 my previous life, 2a5c1320fc but I feel d07955f891 like I miss 389f55d84e him so much. It was 01d62812e0 the first 862b80c957 time I c5d6263ea5 felt this 7cd252a66e way when a343b3f6b2 I saw ccddf927e2 someone.
 
‘Why am 4adf665f8f I like 78b3e4ce1d this?’
 
For some reason, my 91b6bb81f7 chest hurt, so I 77c9eb9fce pressed my heart hard. Then I heard the b34d40fbde sound of clicking one’s a77160dca7 tongue next to me.
 
“Ascart. He usually stays in 79b2f686f7 the library and doesn’t 88cb1cf9e3 come out, but today eb1c58f411 he goes out for 6db811446e some reason.”
 
Lucio spoke in a ba3718544d very sharp tone. At first bbd53f634e glance, one 2f7c04c752 might have 647ace5501 suspected that 6f50d4cfbc their relationship f27ecc95a0 was not b97ed5fbcb good, but b4f40e3c6f from what 8fdc915c5c I heard 8c9e7ccccd from Allen, 7437c75198 the two 60bc74da48 were close 632dc20b89 friends, along df8b5e171c with Prince de5333b771 Nicholas. Apparently, Lucio, like Allen, a06280f21e did not want to 6967689eee hear his younger sister, b19b9b295a Diana, praising Ascarte.
 
“When I looked 64626549a9 out the window, fc976f9ef3 the sunlight was a49972ecd6 nice. I thought 66a2cd3bbc I’d take 6e6bc90cbf a walk 7d34ece4d2 for the 2d3a4aceaf first time c80bb213d9 in a a9ae79a3af while.”
 
Unlike Lucio, 20b7fbcedb Ascarte answered bf9e9c442f with a 5c6f5fc323 gentle face. Now that 8d735fbdb3 I think cba80aba64 about it, f97b3f9cac I wonder 40ac2b0204 if it cc84784832 was a b77565bbce lie that 2a81643100 he was e35b0771b8 only in 47ec811ea8 the library, f76c4981a6 and the 344264812d area under de80f3a53d his eyes fda51562a8 looked a 2ffe68cb17 little dark f1b77e3e08 and tired. His face 6f2458bcaf was so f9d6053544 bright that 2ffcee9ece I noticed b50241117e it too 364023a1ab late. At that 34af8d4ce0 time, Ascart c4f7ca4228 looked at 7a668c6b57 me, probably 55a0b60e64 because he a2b260c3b8 felt his d8eea95948 gaze staring 40855d29be at me. Soon his e4a846f5f1 drooping eyes bb3274ee86 softened. Even when Askart 409f2bf700 found out that 9c786a72c5 I was the 5635d24f74 duke’s maid, he fa58244294 did not change f1892d41cc his attitude towards 11af22c3b5 me. On the contrary, dcbe89d5a3 he was still fab9479f46 so kind and 27881ef08a gentle that I 73464b1814 was very saddened.
 
‘Well, I’m really sorry 8b9ef1f691 to compare you to ca7f657f11 Kenneth Pettier.’
 
Maybe it was because f7e139864b of his looks, but 9c173cdbfa I somehow liked him b801942de4 even though it was 3b0f924d1c my first time seeing 2e1de12d43 him. In her previous f951ff1e31 life, I only b8490db2be heard that she 20dfd30777 graduated from the e14591bb8a academy and returned 23b44c2231 to the principality, d25fbbcd41 so I couldn’t a64a736163 tell what kind acdea4bd43 of person she 7de5203e67 was, but looking c848bd6baf at me now, cdaa1b69de she didn’t seem 51f7404117 like a bad 9b042fdc10 person at all.
 
“If you’ve 94fe67acba walked everything, 42008d11ae why don’t c8f9eefe34 you go 72982bb108 now? “I thought you said 44a1f15934 you had no intention 3aa583c6ac of going to the 42ba0adb3b festival.”
 
As she 13b168301a and Ascarte 3e176d18b6 were making d591df2933 eye contact, 53fbf33b4c Lucio’s harsh 8dbf4e6a02 voice was 8a04ff2ac7 heard again. The atmosphere became 645a8b255a cold at the d8f6eacc93 words, which were b3015e4720 almost like a fbecf004e3 blatant order to 755e0510cc congratulate guests.
 
‘Lucio… I cd1d11c1f4 didn’t know, 7e4907c38f but her f6151b0b28 younger sister 0d6f191ff6 was seriously 254a0cfea3 ill.’
 
Still, I 5300292e48 looked at f2b76a9894 her sullenly, cce768fa0c wondering if d577735da0 I was 41308265d3 being too 549792d453 harsh on 57d5a28b8d her friend, 8fc52b626b and we fcfe9171c7 immediately made d52bb50c53 eye contact. I don’t know if 9afca0f5c8 my complaint was properly b5a4dfac89 conveyed, but Lucio added a30392bf24 quietly to Ascarte.
 
“You hate 8331e32eba crowds of ddc4857c66 people.”
