Chapter 48 Epilogue

The first school building of the elementary school.

While bathing in the sunlight that shone through the window, I was resting my chin in my hand as I propped my elbow up on my desk.

how did things end up like this?

It didnt make sense no matter how I thought about it.

My underling Wallace was crying to me,

Liam, increase my allowance already! Give me anything, please!

Kurt looked at Wallace in amazement,

Well I guess Wallace is the same as usual.

Shut up you! I thought Id be able to spend my vacation in luxury at Liams mansion, but I was put through hell by Serena instead! Asking for a bit more money should be fine at this point!

Serena wasnt at fault for constantly getting mad at him, just looking at Wallace I could tell he was that bad.

I now understood why as a prince he was called a person who could be considered neither poison nor medicine.

Less than a nuisance, he was more like an unnecessary piece of luggage you had to carry around.

It was a miscalculation for me to take such a luggage as my underling, but the more pressing problem right now was

Darling, where do you want to eat lunch today? Do you want to go to the cafeteria?

Rosetta, who I initially thought was a woman of steel was actually a heroine.

I was disappointed with how easily her cheeks flushed at the sight of me.

However, I realised that itd be too troublesome to abandon her now.

If she betrayed me, Id show her no mercy, but until then well, I guess I could take care of her.

I feel like buying bread from the school store today.

Bread? Leave it to me, Ill buy the most popular brand of bread for you.

Who told her to buy bread?

In the first place, was it really okay to have a young noble lady act as a bread shuttle?

Dont worry about it, Wallace will buy them.

When I said that, Wallace flipped the blue hair he was so proud of,

Its hopeless. Dont you know how crazy the crowds get during lunch? Its impossible for me to get the popular bread.

For the former prince to confidently declare that he couldnt even buy bread was a disappointing sight.

Kurt turned a frosty look towards him,

You really are useless, Wallace.

Well what else am I supposed to say? Besides, dont you think Liam is the weird one for making former royalty act as a bread shuttle?

I repeated my order,

Wallace, buy us bread.

Liam, give me a break here. The battle for bread during lunch time is too ruthless for me.

He was lying straight to my face,

Youre lying. When I went it wasnt crowded at all.

Everyone lined up and bought their food in an orderly fashion.

A true reminder that this school was specifically built for the nobility.

But Kurt shook his head,

Thats only because you were there, Liam.

He started saying something incomprehensible.

In anycase, Rosetta looked troubled, so I decided to give up on the bread,

Forget it, lets just eat at the cafeteria.

The cafeteria. Leave it to me, Ill make sure to secure us the best seats!

Like I said, why are you acting like a maid, volunteering to do all these errands?

It was kind of fun watching her do so, but I wasnt pleased with how happily she was willing to take the initiative.

Securing us seats is fine, but you dont need to declare it so loudly.

O-of course. Yes, youre absolutely right

Looking at Rosetta, youd think I did something bad to her.

Wallace called out to me,

Liam, I want to have dessert too.

You can just drink water.

Wasnt this different from the school life I thought Id have?

The imperial capital.

There, the prime minister had gathered multiple officials.

Assembled here were those who had been assigned to monitor the Claudia house for millenia.

These people had always kept the Claudia house under watch from generation to generation, and were now making frustrated expressions.

The prime minister was smiling,

Thank you so much for the loyal work youve done so far. Well now prepare new stations for you.

But they didnt seem satisfied with that,

Minister! I cant accept changing things now, please give us the order to monitor the Banfield house!

Yes! We must keep the orders of his late Majesty alive!

Lets make sure to keep Count Banfield under supervision!

If they were deprived of the work theyve done for many years and suddenly asked to do something new, of course theyd be troubled.

He completely understood their feelings,

I see. Then lets have all of you die here.

prime minister?

Presented to them on the desk were the weaknesses of the nobles they collected over their many years of service.

After receiving his congratulations for Liams engagement, Brian submitted all the materials gathered to the prime minister.

There was no reason not to use useable information.

This was his chance to dispose of all the undesirable officials at once.

it seems youve been sticking youre noses in a lot of places you werent supposed to. I didnt think youd even be investigating myself.

As such, the prime minister started his own investigations.

Looking into them, they were a talentless group only good at torture.

For the prime minister, there was no need for dogs that bit their owners hands.

Th-this is

No excuses are necessary. I can finally sleep with peace of mind once youre dead, and for that reason alone, were having you disappear.

As the officials got ready to resist Tia, who was on standy, pulled out her sword. 𝗳𝐫𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦

It was a rapier a weapon that specialised in piercing attacks, accurately impaling the officials in all their vitals spots.

The officials fell.The prime minister applauded Tia,

What great skill. You will undoubtedly bring great results in the military academy.

Tia wiped the blood off the blade, looking down at the bodies as she returned it to her sheath.

Work of this degree is of no problem. Id like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to dispose of the officials hostile to Lord Liam.

These people had tried to lure Liam into a trap.

For Tia, they were her enemies.

While looking at her, the prime minister asked,

Are you enrolling in the military academy soon?

Tia softly answered,

Yes, I plan to enter by next year.

As the prime minister watched his subordinates clean up the corpses, he asked,

So what are the Counts future plans?

As he was currently in his fourth year of elementary school, it wasnt long until he graduated.

In less than three years, Liam had to decide if he was going to go to either the university or the military academy.

Which was he going to choose the prime minister was curious.

Tia replied,

Lord Liam has decided to give priority to the academy.

In that case, hell be finishing his training in the university? I wonder if the upcoming battle will be over by then.

Will the war with the Berkley family end before Liam successfully completes his training?

The prime minister was concerned about this.

Tia responded with absolute belief in Liam.

Who knows? We might dispose of them sooner than you think.

Tia left the room and returned to her work furrowing her brows.

She quickly stepped down the hallway while venting her frustrations and complaints,

What the hell is a name like Mad Dog Marie? To leave so many of Lord Liams enemies alive, shes nothing but a cur with the appearance of a faithful mutt.

She started remembering that eyesore Marie.

It was during the engagement ceremony.

For her contributions in renovating Avid, Liam had prepared for her the position of deputy, while Tia herself was assigned as the head knight.

everything was fine until there. freewebno(v)el

But then she remembered what happened later that day.

The day of the engagement ceremony.

After everything was finished, the knights were happily drinking in celebration.

At the seat the head knight Tia was sitting at, Marie had approached,

So youre Christiana?

With those words, the air seemed to freeze.

In the now silent banquet hall, Tia continued drinking her beverage as she observed Marie.

What does the mangy dog want with me?

Marie instantly drew her sword and pressed the blade against Tias throat.

But conversely, Tias rapier was already pointed towards her chest.

An eerie smile rose up on Maries face,

Itll only be for a short while, so you better enjoy your status as the head knight. For that position is supposed to be mine.

They withdrew their blades.

Tias gaze was frosty,

Youre too slow for the position of deputy. Youre age is getting to you, or would it be more apt to describe you as a crusty old fossil?

Tia laughed at Maries former petrification.

To her provocation, Marie answered in a dark tone,

You little bitch I could take your neck right now if I wanted to.

Sparks were flying between the two.

Some of the knights were trembling in fear, while others were thinking about how they could kick the two of them down to take their spots.

There were even a few knights who didnt seem interested at all.

Unlike when Liam had first inherited the territory, there were many knights gathered there.

Some of them had come because they wanted to serve Liam, while others pledged their loyalty in thanks for the help hes given them.

A lot of knights had high expectations for the Banfield house, which had recently rose to power.

There were many who wanted to join the new up-starts.

However, considering his position of a Count, the number of knights gathered was still insufficient.

More were sure to converge there in the future but whether theyd be able to work together was another matter.

Liams order of knights were still in a state of assembling themselves.

Since they were only held together by their high loyalty, many problems had arisen.

Above all else, there wasnt anyone there who could rally together such powerful individuals.

Tia and Marie were potential candidates, but neither of them was willing to cooperate with the other.

You mangy mutt, Lord Liam doesnt need someone like you. Ill put you down.

When Tia said so, Marie replied,

A minced-meat bitch like you is unnecessary for Lord Liams ambitions. Ill prove it so.

They recognised each other as nothing but enemies.

The first building of the elementary school.

Twelve Knights of the Round Table isnt that cool?

It was Wallace who said such a thing.

Kurt turned to him with cold eyes.

There you go again. What did you come up with this time, Wallace?

No, you see, its a title bestowed to select knights of particular talent. I read about it in a book from the inner palace, dont you think thats cool?

Isnt that from some comic?

Apparently such a knight group was from a comic series.

Twelve capable knights of talent and strength.

The king bestowed the title on the knights, giving them privileges and status.

We were talking about this behind the school building.

Itd be troublesome finding twelve individuals that fit the criteria.

Kurt followed up on my comment,

Liam, dont take him seriously. Wallaces idea is mostly based off of fiction, and in the first place, it should be easy for you to find twelve of such people.

Huh?

No, just think about it. There are bound to be innumerable knights back in your territory, you can just choose twelve from there.

But what about the criteria to choose

Itd depend on their qualifications, but Im pretty sure your knights would clear them.

In that case, Ill immediatel

No, there are many problems with handing out special treatment. In the first place, the twelve knights Wallace was talking about were the enemies in that story.

I looked at Wallace, and he turned away from me.

Apparently, it was the truth.

However, I didnt hate such things.

It takes guts to join the path of evil.

For serious-based evil lords like Kurt, its only natural hed see it as inefficient despite all the flair, werent they just a gathering of villains?

Theyd be like the four heavenly kings to a demon lord. It was that kind of feeling.

I wanted that kind of knight order.

Recently, I couldnt help but feel like I havent been active as an evil lord lately.

Well, I was stuck in elementary school, so it couldnt be helped.

A round table of twelve knights

Wallace raised his head at my mutters,

Liam, Im going to be the one to establish the Knights of the Round Table, so dont steal my idea!

Wallace was saying something immature, but I couldnt care less.

I guess even he came up with good ideas every once in a while.

As I thought so, Kurt looked at us in amazement,

Liam is being corrupted by Wallace.

Wallace turned to Kurt,

Hey dont you treat me a bit too harshly?

As us three men continued our conversation, Rosetta approached us while waving her hand.

Darling! There you are!

Watching the heroine running over with a smile, I fell into thought.

A beaming smile.

Fluttering hair slightly curled into ringlets.

A swaying chest.

Her cute way of running there was nothing about Rosetta thatd make you think I used to call her a woman of steel.

how did this happen?

Darling, what happened?! Is there something wrong?! Are you not feeling well?! Lets immediately go to the infirmar

No, its nothing.

Rosetta seemed to be genuinely worried about me.

If this was all a ruse and she was just trying to trick me then I might still be able to have some fun with this.

However, it didnt seem that way at all.

Where did the Rosetta with the spirit of steel disappear to?

just how did this happen?
