Episode 15

On the one hand, it was only after a hectic and refreshing trial that I could return to the Dukedom after a long time.

I was quite exhausted, as I was immediately called as a witness to the trial, starting with a skill test and less than a four-hole.

Yerine, why dont you take a break? Youre already working?

So Cassius, who said he would go with me to The Dukedom, didnt bother to take off.

Its much easier to just bring him in and listen to him than to make all kinds of excuses to avoid him.

Wellits not a job, to be exact. Did you worry about me?

As I looked at Cassius with a quill pen in my hand, he answered, shining his golden eyes at me.

Im always worried about you.

Really? Well, Im so tensed up because The 2nd Prince is in my mansion, so Id like you to give me some rest

Then Cassius cried, tearing out his black hair at a speed faster than light.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh My head is still pounding.. Is it because, thanks to someone, I hit the wall so hard?

Oh, I really dont knowIm so sick that I need to go to see the Imperial Households doctor

Okay, thats enough. Oh, youre so grumpy.

I kicked my tongue and wrote squints on a clean sheet of paper with a quill pen. Cassius, who was staring at it, casted.

Then what is it then if it does not work?

Oh, this

The sentences with smooth writing on a white background caught my eye clearly.

[The charges of embezzlement and various ex-communications have brought serious disgrace to the Spade family, so I request that the familys branch of the Postade family be deprived as the familys successor.]

Its a wish to deprive the Postade of their separation status.

When a family of 7 successors commits a serious act that defames the family name, they can apply to the administrative agency for the cancellation of their status.

Thats why, after they were found guilty of embezzlement and obvious illegal act, I immediately returned to the mansion and began writing the request.

If this request is accepted, the Postade family will have nothing to do with the Spade family, and, of course, their status as a branch family of the Spade family will be lost.

OhI see.

After that, Cassius kept his mouth shut for a while.

If it had been something else, he would keep talking and bothered me, but he seemed to stay still because he knew this was important to me.

Cassius.

Cassius, who had been dazed by my call, looked at me with his neck pulled out of surprise.

When I saw that, I thought of meerkat and burst into laughter, and desperately held back my laughter and spoke to Cassius.

Its okay to talk as usual. I can listen to it while writing.

You you do?

Yes, and Im almost done now.

Thats what I started as soon as I arrived at the mansion. So, no wonder that it was almost complete by now.

But Yerine, are you going to the capital next month?

The restless Cassius opened his mouth.

I paused at the remark and thought, taking my eyes off the paper.

Having passed the previous skill test first, I naturally had to complete the magic education of the Empire.

Since this education can only be completed in the capital city, I was wondering whether I should go to the capital city right away for education, or go to the capital city after solving some of the small problems of the estate.

will you be going?

I shook my head and sighed at Cassius question.

Im not sure, actually. I might not go if I do well.

Cassius asked back with his eyes wide open with astonishment.

Really?

Yes, its been a while since I got my successors status, and I need some time to get back the mess that the Postade family made. For that, Id rather stay here.

After finishing the last part of the request, I lifted up the paper and checked the contents one more time, continuing the story.

And I dont know how long itll take to process this request. I will make sure that The Postade.. No, I think I can do something right after I bring them down.

Smiling refreshingly, as I put down the paper and looked at Cassius, Cassius replied with a troubled face.

You said that youre going to beat them up so dont pretend youre not.

Ah, did I get caught? Anyway, I havent decided yet whether to go to the capital or not. But why are you asking?

Strangely, Cassius could not answer the question straight away.

Instead, he rolled his golden eyes around, barely opening his mouth in a crawling voice.

you can.

I couldnt hear his voice mumbling with his head down, so I asked him back loudly.

Huh? What did you say?

Only then did Cassius raise his head, and spoke with a giddy serious look.

Can you not go to the capital?

Somehow his golden eyes, shining yellow, seemed to contain some strange force that was hard to resist.

But I couldnt believe what he said.

Can I not go to the capital you said?

I couldnt understand the word no matter how much I thought about it, so I asked him.

No, shouldnt you rather ask me to come? Its closer to The Imperial Palace, right?

Cassius looked at me still with gold eyes, slightly nodding his head to show his positivity.

Thats true.

Then why? Shouldnt I go to the capital to meet Cassius more often?

Of course, I hope to meet Cassius less often.

Out of sight, out of mind, less often seen, less intertwined, but the more we keep seeing each other these days, the more interested he seems to have in me.

Anyway, it would have been better for Cassius if I came to the capital where he lived.

So it was hard to understand what he said not to come to the capital now.

No, the opposite.

Cassius answered seriously, clasping his fingers in his hands.

You know that the magic education of the capital is very strict, right? Thats why its very hard for the students to meet people from outside.

Only then did I understand Cassiuss words.

I didnt know it was that hard, but I guess its different to train the future officials.

Oh, I see..

After hearing Cassius explanation, I was troubled for a moment, and I turned my head towards Cassius at the thought that came to my mind.

But I cant stay here forever. Someday I should go to the capital city to get an education.

At the words, Cassius stood up as if he had waited and begun his speech with glistening eyes.

Thats right, so I thought about it, and instead of you going to the capital, Im going to call in some of the Academys magic professors here to teach private lessons

Yes, I reject it.

I smiled refreshingly and expressed my refusal.

Hes trying to abuse his power just because hes a prince.

Why

Cassius muttered weekly, in a tearful look.

Dont abuse The Imperial position for such useless things. The Empire will be cursed.

By the way, the quality of the class seemed to be very high, given that the education was so tight.

Well, then With that training, I can improve my magic skills and Ill be able to become The Palace Wizard faster.

Moreover, the other successors seemed to be leaving for the capital immediately for education.

Which means if I dont go to the capital this year, Ill be left alone.

Ill do something for you anywaycan you not go to the capital for a little while?

I woke up from my thoughts at his words.

Looking before my eyes, Cassius was begging me with a face resembling a poor dog that had been drenched in the rain.

When I first saw him, I was so scared that I realized his handsome face at all, but now I dont think that was it.

Actually, my mind weakened for a very short time.

But Cassius, on second thought, I think I should go this time.

Cassius then held my hand with a look of astonishment.

Why? Why?!

I should answer it well.

This man is a yandere who has a huge obsession and will bury all the people who touched the heroine alive.

Lets answer rationally to save my life.

Well, if I dont go this time, theres no point in getting the top spot on the test, and Im sure Ill have to do it again, and I dont want to be left behind by other students.

Cassius has a slightly long face.

But

And about the problem within the estate, I think I can do it at the same time. Ill have to get my status as the family leader soon anyway, so I will do it for my experience.

Cassius then just stood still, with his head down and no words said.

At first, I thought he was upset, because he didnt talk much, so my heart sank at the thought of whether he was angry.

Im doomed

The ridiculous obsession should not be awakened here any more.

I opened my mouth in a quivering voice to soothe him in a hurry.

Ca, Cassius?

Nevertheless, Cassius did not budge.

The Male Leads unique black aura seemed to be pulled out from his surroundings, standing fearlessly.

I try calling out his name with a feeling goosebumps all over my body.

Cassius!

It was then.

Cassius, who had not moved, suddenly reached out and hugged me and locked me in his arms.

I was startled by the feeling of a sturdy arm around my shoulder.

Before I knew it, the shrivelled black hair of Cassius touched the nape of my neck.

Ca, Cassius?!

When I called his name, the words seemed to make Cassius embracing me tighter.

The heart, which began to beat rapidly because of surprise, is now beginning to beat faster but in another sense.

Yerine

The low voice of Cassius, which grazed my ear, made my face flushed red.

Cassius, who embraced me with his earnest yet affectionate touch, could not overcome his intense feelings and spit out words.

I dont want to be apart from you anymore.
