I Became The Necromancer Of The Academy - Chapter 227
I didn’t want this.
The title of prince that I had carried since birth was unexpectedly heavy for me.
However, I had no intention of giving it up.
I wanted to become stronger.
I wanted to be an existence that wouldn’t be pushed aside by my brothers.
One day, a purple door appeared in my room.
There was nothing written on the door I had seen for the first time, but for some reason, the moment I saw it, I walked in as if being sucked inside.
There, I met a man.
“Welcome to Claire’s General Store.”
A being whose gender, age, or identity was unknown.
The moment I finished the transaction with him and went outside.
The Kingdom of Jermania began to warp strangely.
I didn’t want this.
No, definitely not.
* * *
The carriage provided by the royal family to go to the Kingdom of Jermania had excellent speed and shock absorption.
The rattling unique to carriages was almost nonexistent, so it was definitely more comfortable than other carriages when traveling long distances.
“Ah, I’m tired.”
Sitting across from me, Deja yawned and tossed and turned.
It shouldn’t be difficult to fall asleep since there was no shaking, but she seemed uncomfortable.
Originally, she was supposed to return to North Sweden with Darius, but Deja, who said she wanted to visit the Kingdom of Jermania once, ended up coming along.
It wasn’t like she was going on a vacation, but I allowed her to come because she wasn’t tagging along just to play.
In the carriage following behind, Aria was accompanying us with the gifts to be delivered to the Kingdom of Jermania.
I would have originally told her not to come, but she came along with the excuse of wanting to help her friend, Eleanor.
I don’t know if she really came with such good intentions.
Anyway, Eleanor would probably like seeing her.
“I can’t sleep in carriages.”
She grumbled and changed her posture here and there, but Deja kept looking dissatisfied.
Then, she glanced at me and quietly came next to me.
“Let me borrow your lap.”
“……What?”
Before I could say anything, Deja naturally rested her head on my lap.
I moved the book I was reading to the side and looked down at her, and she was already crossing her arms and closing her eyes.
“What are you looking at?”
She expected me to be looking at her and replied flatly.
I had felt a sense of closeness before. I thought it wouldn’t be a big problem if I thought of it as the closeness of siblings, but is this the closeness of siblings?
“Deja.”
Even though I called her quietly, Deja said nothing. She couldn’t have fallen asleep already, so she was probably intentionally not answering.
“Deja.”
“Oh, why?”
When she realized I wasn’t going to back down, she slightly opened her eyes and acted annoyed.
“Even between siblings, there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.”
I never had any brothers or sisters, so I couldn’t know for sure, but there must be a line that even family members shouldn’t cross.
“It doesn’t seem very desirable for an older sister to sleep on her brother’s lap.”
Annoyed by my words, Deja snorted.
“Everyone does that? What’s wrong with family members lending each other their laps?”
“…….”
“Rather, aren’t you being overly sensitive because you think of me as the opposite sex?”
When she said that, I had nothing to say.
I was like an outsider when it came to the concept of family.
Maybe I was uncomfortable because I had started to see her as a woman rather than a younger sister without realizing it.
Then, I could think that I needed to come to my senses.
“Then.”
However, wasn’t that a typical gaslighting approach?
“Can you lie on Darius’s lap like this?”
When I asked bluntly, Deja closed her mouth for a moment. Then, she suddenly stood up.
“I’m not sleepy.”
“…….”
“Really. I just got up because I’m not sleepy.”
“Really. I just woke up because I wasn’t sleepy.”
She is 10 years younger than the young Princess Eleonora.
A sigh escapes me, but I start to concentrate on the book again. In the carriage, I couldn’t sleep well, so I preferred to read a book.
“Ah, I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
I thought I could concentrate on the book, but the grumbling next to me was getting worse.
What’s wrong again? But Dea’s complexion was really bad.
“Motion sickness?”
The royal carriage didn’t shake much, and Dea was used to riding in a carriage, so I thought she would be fine.
I was going to give her some motion sickness medicine, but Dea covered her mouth with her hand and groaned.
“I imagined you lying on Darius’ lap because of you.”
“……”
“Ugh!”
I really hated it.
As Dea’s expression gradually turned pale, saying she felt nauseous, I sighed and said.
“Lean on my shoulder.”
“……”
“I think it’ll be okay if you lean on it and rest.”
Dea slowly approached and put her head on my shoulder. Her expression relaxed a little as if she was a little more comfortable.
Right after.
I could hear a faint, regular breath between her disheveled hair.
“Are you asleep?”
I checked and saw her sleeping comfortably with her eyes closed.
I briefly recalled her grumbling that it was hard to fall asleep in the carriage.
“Even siblings can do this much.”
I closed the book so that Dea wouldn’t wake up and turned my gaze out the window.
* * *
“Don’t worry.”
Rahul German, the first prince of the Kingdom of German, smiled broadly to reassure Eleonora.
“I’m not really worried.”
Eleonora replied bluntly because she really wasn’t worried at all, but Rahul laughed, saying that he even liked that.
“Haha, as expected of Princess Eleonora. You’re different from other women.”
‘Oh, damn…’
Eleonora barely managed to swallow her saliva, almost cursing out loud.
I heard that the royals of German have been womanizers since the old days, and especially in the case of Jehul, he had many women.
But she never thought they would be so blatant about hitting on her, the princess of the Griffin Kingdom.
‘How are you going to take responsibility later?’
When his father, the current king, steps down, he, as the eldest son, has the first right to the throne.
However, if he were to have a serious relationship with Eleonora, Eleonora would naturally become the mistress of German.
That would not be a desirable direction for the Kingdom of German either.
Even if they were to marry, they would want it to be with one of the other brothers, not the eldest son.
After Rahul German left, the other brothers came one by one.
In particular, the second and third sons, who were participating in the giant monster crusadetoday, were quite blatant in their affection.
“Haha, my brother came and went? Don’t take it to heart.”
Rehul, the second son, spoke kindly and considerately, but I wondered what he was thinking inside.
“Stay sharp. You’re the princess of Griffin.”
A cold voice.
Serhul, the third son, who doesn’t give much affection to people and finds it unpleasant to meet them.
The two of them naturally competed over Eleonora and tried to talk to her more.
‘Why the hell are they doing this?’
However, Eleonora was looking at the situation coldly. Not one or two, but all the princes suddenly came to her.
I couldn’t help but think that something was going on in the Kingdom of German.
That’s why I’m on my guard, but…
‘Is this real?’
Looking at the actions of the princes, they really seemed to be in love with Eleonora.
She was a woman with an eye for people, so she couldn’t help but be particularly embarrassed.
Because the princes were courting her with all their hearts and passion, as if they were under some kind of spell.
The second and third sons left.
I wondered if the next ones would come looking for me.
By the way, the youngest sixth son was only eight years old.
Princess Eleonora was still young, but she was a whole 10 years younger than him.
When that child said that he loved her, she truly felt like she was doing something wrong.
‘I hope he doesn’t come.’
She wanted to lock the door, but if she did something like that in the Jermain Palace, she didn’t know what kind of suspicion she would face.
In the end, Eleonora let out a sigh and looked out the window.
The desert stretched out behind the city.
Beyond the horizon would be the Griffin Kingdom, and there…
‘Deiusssss.’
For the first time, she missed the man she had thought of as fate. She wanted to go back to him soon.
The vacation would soon be over, and she would have to go to the academy.
Eleonora hoped that the princes would succeed in subjugating the demon.
Just then.
Creak.
A man entered through the opened door.
She thought that it would be one of the six princes and put on a fake smile, but.
“Well, are you satisfied with your life in the palace?”
A well-groomed beard.
Wrinkled skin.
However, he still had a dignified, copper-colored appearance.
The old man sitting on the throne of the Jermain Kingdom.
Ramahool Jermain had visited this place in person.
“Yes, I am very grateful for your kind treatment.”
Eleonora replied with a smile.
In truth, she had not had a long conversation with Ramahool Jermain, but when she saw him up close, the back of her head tingled.
What should she say?
She felt like there was a scorpion’s sting hidden behind the smiling, benevolent old man.
It wasn’t a very good feeling.
The old man did not hide his greed and approached her.
“I heard that our sons have been acting very disrespectfully.”
“No, they are just teasing me. I laugh and accept it.”
“Heh heh, is that so?”
Ramahool’s eyes were filled with desire. It wasn’t for nothing that he was in charge of a kingdom; his desires were extremely broad and selfish.
‘Is he crazy?’
Eleonora received the disgusting desire burning in his eyes head-on. However, she did not change her expression and maintained her smile as she responded naturally.
“Come to think of it, the other princes will be here soon. They come to my room once a day.”
“Ahem, my sons are being disrespectful.”
Ramahool took a step back as if that was unpleasant. He stroked his beard and let out a knowing laugh as he went outside.
“……Wow.”
Eleonora let out a breath in disbelief.
What was going on?
From the six-year-old sixth prince.
To the old man who had six sons and five daughters.
Eleonora, who had seen and felt firsthand the messy and passionate sexual desire of the Jermain royal family, began to feel irritated to the point of madness.
Furthermore, King Ramahool did not really have feelings for her.
He probably just wanted to feel the strange satisfaction of taking a woman that his sons liked.
“That’s it.”
Ugh.
She bit her lip and rubbed her forehead.
She had been saved by Deius Verdi and had lived innocently in the academy.
“Is this what I’ve become?”
Eleonora Luden Griffin was a boss in charge of a chapter in the game ‘Retry,’ just like Pinden Eye.
In the original, she was a fallen princess.
A rebel who spent her nights out.
A girl who was called a dignified villain.
She had judged that Orpheus, whose mind had been broken by the evil spirits of Griffin or whose body had been taken over, was not qualified to be king.
She had incited numerous students, led the knights, and made the cold judgment that it was right to overthrow the country.
“Let’s give it a shot.”
Eleonora gritted her teeth and began to pull out the schemes and nature that she had been hiding.
