Chapter 62
Happiness is nothing special.
I thought that if I ate well and lived well, that would make me happy. Ruid was only interested in that.
Of course, he had no desire to deal with villains or solve various problems of the empire.
However, his actions always resulted in unexpected results.
“Okay, is there anything you want? If you want territory, I will give you territory. If you want treasure, I will give you treasure.”
The emperor said that this work was of great help to the empire and that he would bestow a great reward.
Ruid was just dumbfounded.
A great help to the empire??
The only thing he did was because he wanted to eat tteokbokki, so he watched the kids and ordered them to shuttle the ingredients.
Ruid felt very burdened by the emperor who praised him excessively.
“I’m fine. “Your Majesty, please eat a lot of delicious food.”
“Haha, are you even caring about my health? You’re talking about congratulations, but you’re actually trying to protect your burden. Louis, you are a nephew that I cannot stop. This is why Jim has no choice but to favor you.”
Lucius, sitting on the throne, gestured to his aide.
Aide Michael quickly approached and put his finger on his ear.
Michael’s eyes widened when he heard the emperor’s whisper.
“Do you really want me to bring that?”
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
“S-sorry. I will prepare it right now-”
“??”
Ruid felt puzzled.
The emperor grinned while looking at Ruid like that.
“It’s not easy to know how to praise Windsor, no matter how burdensome it may be. The only thing Windsor doesn’t have is the throne, right? But that doesn’t mean I can give you the throne.”
The emperor shrugged his shoulders and told a very scary joke.
“So, I thought that if it were a commendation to give Windsor, it would be appropriate to give him the ‘best’ of all he has.”
‘But what are you trying to give me?’
Ruid was also secretly looking forward to the gift the emperor gave him. Although it is too much to receive a gift just for making tteokbokki.
‘I wish I could give you a blanket…’
Ruid opened his mouth slightly with a face full of anticipation.
After a while, Michael returned with five or six knights.
It was a coffin covered with red cloth. Luid’s expression brightened.
‘I guess it’s a bed.’
It’s also a portable bed!
Ruid was already satisfied.
The engineer, who gently put down the coffin, slowly, very slowly, opened the lid of the coffin.
The lid opened with a slither.
Inside was a red cloth that looked incredibly soft.
As expected, the bed was right!
Ruid immediately felt the desire to go there and lie down.
But…
“It’s Delrin’s staff. As the 13th Emperor, I bestow this upon Louis Christopher Windsor.”
The words fell out like a lightning bolt.
The emperor reached into the red coffin and took out something, which was a staff.
A staff that exudes great power.
“Delin’s Staff…?”
“Haha, guy. Even you can’t help but be surprised by this, right? This is the staff that Archmage Delrin himself used. “It’s the only cane in this world.”
The emperor spoke proudly.
‘You can’t eat it and you can’t cover it.’
Ruid was sullen.
The emperor was taken aback by the reaction, which was worse than expected.
“Paddy, isn’t it good?”
However, Ruid also had some sense and reacted as best he could.
“Wow, I’m really happy.”
**
The way back.
Damon was sweeping the leaves with a broom.
Well, that was a very unsuitable combination.
“What are you doing?”
Ruid walked over and spoke to Damon.
Damon looked at Luid and spoke confidently.
“I am being disciplined.”
“…Punishment?”
“Yes. The greatest punishment for the royal family is humiliation. “His Majesty told me to reflect by making me do things that only a servant would do.”
Damon raised the corners of his mouth.
“But you can’t subdue me like this. “Don’t worry, my momentum won’t break at all.”
‘You need to bend down a bit.’
“…go for it.”
Still, Ruid cheers me on.
As I was about to pass by, Damon suddenly spoke.
“Tteokbokki, it was delicious.”
“thank you.”
‘But the kid is good.’
Although Damon has a personality that is easily misunderstood, I thought he had a good personality.
Ruid looked at Damon using the broom with an embarrassed expression for a moment, then turned around.
The response to the cooking class was better than I expected, so I guess it felt a little rewarding…
‘Next time, I’m going to go to Kimbap.’
If I make you kimchi fried rice, won’t you faint?
Ruid thought seriously.
**
Ruid’s mansion.
He was chatting with Hersi.
“When is your sister coming?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Is something going on?”
3 days of making tteokbokki.
Amelia never returned to the mansion.
It was the same with Sherry.
I think I followed her to settle scores – but she, who is usually meticulous, hasn’t sent a single letter.
‘Is that idiot lost?’
No matter how indifferent Ruid was, I couldn’t help but be worried.
“…Shall we go look for it?”
Hercy asked quietly.
‘Just the two of us in a secluded mountain range… This is a date, so to speak.’
“Well, the friendship between you two is so good. “If you’re worried, I think it’s the right thing to do.”
Hersy, who wanted to go on a date with Ruid, actively insisted.
“That’s a bit much.”
Ruid slowly turned his head.
‘I turned away!!’
“Ame noona is not the type to go out and get beaten up.”
I was worried, but I was worried that I might get lost and starve because I couldn’t find my way.
“Besides, it’s a mountain range. “If the opponent is a monster, my sister will never be defeated.”
It was because I had strong confidence.
Amelia was weaker than Irene, but she was more talented at hunting than Irene.
When Irene caught one, Amelia would bring a cart full of monsters.
“…Maybe he went to the mountains on the pretext of getting supplies and was excited to hunt monsters for the first time in a while.”
“Is that so…”
Hercy was openly disappointed.
You missed an event that could have made your relationship better.
“Anyway, how are the nobles these days? “What are your complaints?”
Grumbling, Ruid asked while drinking tea through a straw.
When a nobleman ate a meal, there were two things that made noise.
Either he’s an idiot who doesn’t care about others, or he gets along well with the other person.
Since Ruid was definitely not the former, it was probably the latter. Hercy’s expression brightened again.
“Luid’s cooking classes are very popular. “That’s all people talk about.”
“Not my classes, just… the overall atmosphere. “Isn’t there anyone who is against the reward/punishment point system?”
“Nobles don’t like to waste time on useless things. Rather than spending time protesting, let’s get some stores. Of course, it seems that there are some nobles who don’t like teaching etiquette to commoners.”
Teach etiquette to commoners.
I heard that some nobles don’t like it because they think it means allowing commoners to enjoy their own privileges.
But that was a minority, and most people said they liked it because it didn’t bother them.
“I’m glad. “What about commoners?”
“…I can see some irreverent movements. According to the results of a recent investigation through Miho.”
Miho purred as if asking for praise. Ruid patted my head.
“Is the Countess the target of that irreverent movement?”
Hercy widened her eyes.
“How did you know?”
“Hmm, then just leave it alone.”
‘It’s running well just like the original. ‘Whatever.’
Ruid thought as he felt the ‘Delin’s Staff’ hidden in his robe.
Originally, this was an item that Justin received as a reward through a certain episode.
Delrin’s staff cannot be used unless you are a true wizard.
Justin, who has mediocre skills, becomes stronger every time he uses the wand’s performance by 1%.
Of course, since it was already in his hands, Ruid had no intention of returning it.
‘I shouldn’t say this’.
The resonance of the name Delrin for a wizard is considerable.
In terms of boxing, he is like Muhammad Ali, and in terms of science, he is like Einstein. It was sensational and created several basic theories of magic.
The consensus is that there is still no wizard who has surpassed Delrin.
Of course, Ruid didn’t think that way. He had already surpassed Delrin.
“As expected, it’s in the palm of Ruid’s palm.”
Ruid held out his hand.
Hercy blinked when she saw the cute hands.
“My hands are small.”
“….”
‘It’s a joke, isn’t it funny?’
Ruid lowered his hand with a nonchalant look on his face.
I was a little embarrassed and my face turned red.
“right. Ruid, when are you going to have your next class? “Luid’s classes do not have regular schedules.”
Ruid was also self-indulgent in class. I do what I want to do, or I don’t do it. Perhaps teaching tteokbokki could be my first and last class.
But he also received Delrin’s staff from the emperor… and he seemed very excited about it.
‘It’s really annoying.’
…For Ruid, the emperor is like family. I couldn’t bear to disappoint.
“…I will do it as soon as my sister comes.”
“You’re saying we’ll do it right away?”
Hersy was quite surprised.
“Luid, you’ve been working really hard lately.”
“Do you think so?”
I was a little happy that Ruid seemed to recognize my hard work.
“Yes, you only sleep 15 hours these days, and you’re only an hour late for your appointment.”
‘…what? ‘I feel like a very poor person.’
Ruid blinked.
Still, if unemployment is like this, it’s good.
I thought it was probably a compliment, so I responded with a proud heart.
“thank you.”
**
Two days passed like that.
Ruid immediately told his mother.
“It’s obvious that I don’t care because I’m playing alone.”
[…Tell me to contact me immediately when you return. Rather than that, Luid. Are you eating well?]
“Yes.”
After a few words of daily conversation, Ruid connected with Irene this time.
“Ame noona is not coming. “Scold me.”
[That kid is useless. Don’t worry, I’ll kill you half, Louis.]
“Half and half.”
Just like that, another week passed.
That was also the time that Ruid spent in Amelia’s room.
Ruid turned on the crystal ball again today.
“Amelia isn’t coming.”
Ruid doesn’t even call me sister anymore.
Victoria in the crystal ball was in a lot of trouble.
[Luid, this is already the third transmission today.]
There are 40 crystal balls written today.
In gold terms, it is 4 million gold.
Considering that the mansion where Ruid was located cost 200,000 gold, it was an enormous amount.
Even this was the amount of the crystal ball used by Ruid. The price does not include the crystal ball at Windsor Castle.
If you include it, 8 million gold. It was an astronomical amount.
“What should I do if Amelia doesn’t come?”
[Amelia said there was no need to worry. There is no person who poses a threat near the space the child went to.]
“What are you worried about? Don’t worry at all. “It’s just annoying.”
[Hmm, …Windsor Castle’s crystal balls are gradually running out. I would rather turn on a crystal ball and talk to my mom all day…]
“Is the crystal ball a waste?”
Pop-.
Ruid turned off the crystal ball.
I hugged the pillow and glared at the crystal ball with a face full of dissatisfaction.
This time, I sent a message to Irene.
Irene was smiling as usual.
Ruid didn’t like her smile because it was like a joke, but today he was very reassuring.
“Amelia isn’t coming.”
[It’s the death penalty.]
“Really?”
[Running away from home, leaving my younger brother, who is only 12 years old, at home. Out of stock.]
Ruid nodded his head sharply.
“After all, I have no other sister than Irene. “I like Irene the best.”
Irene’s laughter grew stronger.
Crash!
-Go, matriarch!
A commotion was heard inside the crystal ball.
Soon the door opened and Victoria appeared in front of the crystal ball, wiping away her cold sweat.
[Ah, son. I think I misunderstood something—]
“I never had a misunderstanding.”
Ruid disconnected.
I curled up on the bed.
“…Shall we go?”
There is a problem with it not coming like this.
So I couldn’t go.
Seeing as Sherry doesn’t come in the same way, it’s kind of a test.
During the last warlock incident, Amelia truly hated her involvement.
If I intervened this time, it could have harmed Amelia’s pride.
…I didn’t want my family to have a falling out.
But at the same time, it was very unpleasant to be away for such a long time and not see a single letter.
“Just really come.”
**
Amelia entered the mansion with a happy face.
‘Hehe. It’s a little late, but if it’s something like this, Roid will like it too.’
Amelia went to the Melang Mountains to look for smelt.
You meet a fisherman along the way…
-Do you know what? It is said that an ice god lives at the peak of the Melang Mountains.
Ice God, Ice God.
After hearing the story of that legendary being, I couldn’t catch an ordinary smelt.
That’s why Amelia wandered endlessly through the mountains to catch the legendary fish…
“Ah, Sherry. “You’ve worked hard. You can go and rest.”
“…yes.”
As soon as Sherry heard those words, she immediately fell to the floor.
Amelia shook her head.
“It’s because Ruid’s maid is so physically weak.”
Amelia doesn’t think it’s a miracle that she’s survived this long after not having slept a wink for over a week.
She opened the door, thinking that she had to get dressed and go see Lloyd.
“uh?”
But Ruid was sitting on the bed in his room.
When Ruid saw Amelia, he was happy for a moment, but then made a very fierce expression.
“Why are you here…”
“….”
Ruid’s magic suddenly fluctuated.
All the objects in the room fell and the floor made a loud noise.
“get out!!”
The door closed with a bang.
“…Louis?”
Amelia froze, holding the fish on her shoulder.
The fish fluttered mercilessly.
