Chapter 364

After a brief greeting from Owen de Gate, he headed towards the main house with something to do. I was silently watching his back. Being a merchant guild master, there shouldn't be any problem wherever he goes. Of course, he will go back and forth for profitable things, and since the Granatz Duchy is a place with money, it will be a profitable place. It would have been true until recently. However, I now know that he is associated with the revolutionary forces. Owen de Gate is a person who can go anywhere. So, he can visit the Granatz Duchy for business or any reason. The Granatz Duchy has no reason to be interested in the revolution. Therefore, it is an excessive speculation to think that the Granatz Duchy may be involved with the revolutionary forces. However, it is not as if the nobles who have everything have not poured everything into such things. Since there is no description of who the Granatz Duchy is, I do not know what he thinks or what kind of person he is. My head was about to explode. If the Granatz Duchy corresponds to the core figure of the revolutionary forces, then what does it matter? Anyway, since they will eventually become allies from the perspective of the Demon Prince, it doesn't matter what happens. No. After the Gate incident is resolved. If the Anti-Empire Alliance is assumed to be safe, which side should I take? I thought it was a ridiculous thing to think about washing dishes before the main character appeared. If they maintain the empire and destroy the Anti-Empire Alliance, the result will be a massacre. If they maintain the Anti-Empire Alliance and raise anti-empire sentiment, it will be a war. -Clang! I heard the sound of the annex window opening from behind. -Hey! Aren't you coming in quickly? Rianna shouted at me, as if she would burn me if I didn't come in quickly, while sparking electricity. It's not him. There is no reason. The Granatz Duchy has no reason. Why should the Granatz Duchy, who was born with a sense of entitlement and will continue to hold it in the future, make a reckless challenge? But what if it's not him? What should I do again? Whether the Gate incident is resolved or not, the fact remains that many people will die depending on my choice when the Anti-Empire Alliance was formed. Whether I choose the empire or the Anti-Empire Alliance. I just realized another truth that many people will die according to my decision. Don't just stand there and come quickly! -Zap! Zap! "I got it." Rianna de Granatz, who lives as she pleases without knowing the world's affairs. It would be nice to live without knowing such things for a lifetime. * * * No matter what worries I have, Rianna doesn't know them. There were various discussions about where to go for the winter vacation, but everyone had a lukewarm reaction. "I'm going to train. I've rested too much when I went back to my hometown this time." "I still have a strong desire to become stronger, even though I didn't participate in the Ellen Tournament. I feel like I need to save time to train, as there may come a time when I have to fight the Demon King and I may need to be at the forefront. Even now, although I don't know how long it will last, the strongest inspector on the continent, Saviole Tanaga, is in the dormitory. Rudbich continues to learn from Tanaga while harassing her, but Ellen couldn't train with Tanaga last time because of Miss Temple's preparation, and this time she couldn't train with her because she went home. So she couldn't help but feel frustrated. Adelia also hesitated, but she didn't want to waste a week or so when the completion of the power cartridge seemed to be getting closer. Harryott was also a guy who was short of time, including dimensional magic research. "I'm grateful for today, but I'm also busy." I couldn't explain it, but in the end, I was also busy, and the reason I was busy was because of personal training like Ellen, so I could make excuses. In terms of travel, except for Cliff, everyone had a hard time going. "What? Why is everyone... living so diligently...?" Rianna murmured absentmindedly, her eyes unfocused. I smirked at Rianna. ".... You forgot, didn't you? Isn't this how Royal Class students who receive full support from the Empire should live?" "Wow... it feels really bad to hear that from you..." Rianna murmured absentmindedly. Come to think of it, these kids are all gathered from the top students. It's strange not to do this! Except for you, who can output superpowers vertically without much effort, everyone else has to work hard! "...." Rianna looked weakly at Cliff. What about you? In that feeling. Although Cliff was born with a natural talent, he also had to train. He hasn't awakened his magical power yet. But if Rianna is rejected again this time, her heart may be broken. "Um, that... I, I..." But if I say it's okay, I might end up in a situation where the two of us really go on a trip, so Cliff's face was distorted and he stuttered. Rianna looked at Cliff like that and finally shook her head. "It's okay... Let's all live well... Let's see how well we live..." Rianna murmured as if her soul had left. It's crazy that her mental state is so broken because her friends are living too hard. * * * As the evening approached in the Granatz Duchy, Rianna's mental state, which had gone out, began to return slowly. "Hehe." It's because it's time to have a glass of wine. Can I really like alcohol at this age? Whether the Granatz Duke is involved with the revolutionary forces or not, isn't it a failure to raise a child in the first place? "Oh, miss... there are guests..." "It's okay. Hurry and go. Rest, go and rest. It's okay." Sorry, I cannot translate this text as it is in Korean and there is no request for translation. Please provide a Korean text that needs to be translated. "I, am I... am I a spoiled brat?" Rihanna eventually showed a typical spoiled brat reaction of realizing through her friends' words, even if she didn't listen to her father's words. * * * In one way or another, Duke Grants became the one who blew away the last bit of anxiety we had, even though Rihanna didn't know. Clearly, he said to drink slowly. Drinking slowly means to eventually drink. He probably didn't make a fuss for no reason, even though Duke Grants likes it when his daughter is in trouble. Rihanna and I drank whiskey, and the rest drank sweet wine. There wasn't much to talk about. The important topic was about the juniors who will come in next year. "It would be nice if there weren't any kids like you." Harry said exactly the same thing Rihanna said today. "Wouldn't people like me be common? It's a talent." "You know that it's not a matter of understanding, but a matter of fixing it, right?" "Haven't you realized that I'm not the kind of person who has that kind of personality? You jerk?" "You always get angry when you talk to me... and stop calling me a jerk!" "You're used to it now, right? You feel uncomfortable if you don't hear me call you a jerk, right?" "Aaah! I'm not uncomfortable! I'm not!" "Okay, Harry." "...Huh?" "You're feeling a little awkward now, aren't you? Because I called you by your name? Isn't it more comfortable for a jerk to hear it?" "Aaaah! Stop it! You're really a bad guy! Why are you doing this to me?" I felt a great sense of satisfaction in successfully opening Harry's lid after a long time. "Ah, I'm getting dizzy... it's because of that bastard..." "Lie down for a bit." "Uh-huh..." Harry screamed and then lay down on the sofa, feeling dizzy. Harry hugged Adelia, who was staggering, and fell asleep. Ellen, who seemed to be completely sober, sipped wine and then lay down on Rihanna's thigh. She'll probably fall asleep soon. Only Rihanna, Cliff, and I were properly sober. Cliff surprisingly didn't seem to be very drunk. I thought he was strong against alcohol, but he wasn't drinking at all. Maybe he's afraid of not knowing what he'll do when he's drunk. "Hey, what did I do wrong..." Rihanna seemed to seriously consider whether she was a spoiled brat or not. She didn't seem to be drunk, but she seemed to be in a good mood. I didn't drink much. It wasn't for the same reason as Cliff. "Hey." "I'm not a spoiled brat." "No, what did I say?" "When I called out, that response came out automatically as if I was going to hit someone. If you think it's true or not, it's usually true, and Rihanna is a spoiled brat. Of course, I'm not trying to say that. Owen de Gate Mora is a member of the revolutionary forces. There is a possibility that Duke Grants may suspect that he is a revolutionary force because he came here. But it's just a possibility. There is a very important question to confirm this. "Did your father also... go to the Temple?" "Temple? Of course." My heart beats like crazy. Rihanna takes a sip of whiskey and says so. "You graduated from Orbis Class?" Oh no. Damn it."
