I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

16. The Princess and the Grand Duke of the North are in total chaos (5)

1.

“Oh, I’m tired.”

I slept on my stomach in an uncomfortable position, and my body was sore. I don’t even know when I fell asleep.

I mean, this guy’s hunger is getting worse and worse.

Sylphia was watching me with warm eyes as if she strangely understood everything.

It’s still early in the evening.

The teacher said it was okay to go up, so I went back to my room, but I was still sleepy. But even if it’s early, it’s too early.

My body was whispering to me to quickly dive into a soft bed and get a full 12 hours of sleep.

Champchamp.

When I lightly slapped my cheek to drive away sleep, the tingling feeling and the surge of tension disappeared.

“If I sleep now, what will I do tomorrow?”

He shook his head.

I hope there is someone who knows more about my body than I do. If I fall asleep here, I’ll wake up around dawn and spend the whole day tomorrow without an open eye, but it’s better to hold out a little longer before going to sleep.

Cancer, no way.

First of all, that moment when I just put my butt on to sit on a chair to organize my thoughts.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, it passed through my head.

No, wait a minute. The fact that Master told me to go up means that all the research I have to do today is over. And it was me and the two Sylphias who had to do it. But after I ate, I lay on my stomach and slept all the time… ….

“……Could Sylphia do everything by herself?”

I could tell without looking in the mirror. Wouldn’t his face have been stained with death in an instant?

…… I’m sorry about this

To put it simply, this was just sleeping while leaving everything I had to do to Sylphia. And Sylphia didn’t wake me up even if I was sleeping, and she just silently did everything for me.

Ugh.

My face was frowned upon.

I’m sorry from tomorrow, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to see your face properly…….

What should I do? Is it right to go and apologize right now…… ? Or just apologize when we meet tomorrow? Visiting now might seem a little unusual.

I had no other option but to slap my head to say I’m sorry. First of all, at least a person should have a conscience. Even when I was in the army, I didn’t hit my subordinates for my work.

Lee Seon-da, I couldn’t do this or that with the choice, and I wandered around the room restlessly for no reason, and came to the conclusion.

‘Let’s just apologize tomorrow.’

When we meet tomorrow, we’ll punch you in the head.

You must have been doing everything by yourself all day because of me. What if I visit you for no reason and disturb you so that I can’t rest properly?

It was a conclusion drawn through such a series of thoughts, but the taste was bitter.

Something remains in a corner of my heart and I feel uncomfortable. Naturally, I felt a sense of displeasure, and the arrows of this displeasure were directed at the two people who scammed me.

“……These gentlemen are real.”

Elena Esgeland.

Lorenzo Tonali.

Well, the two people who dared to come to Countess Weiss, who was stuck in a rural village, and scammed me into a job because there was something to be said.

Of course, one was the 2nd princess of the empire, and the other was my teacher and the court wizard of the empire, so there was no way I, the son of a country count, could do anything to them.

But I also have a bad temper when it comes to getting hurt, and moreover, I had someone who could prick the two instead of me.

“I didn’t want to write it already.”

Juseomjuseom.

A piece of paper that looks like a business card with nothing written on it except for the gold leaf border.

But to my surprise, this piece of paper wasn’t just a piece of paper, it was a magic artifact. Excellent durability that does not wrinkle even when the proof is wrinkled, and does not get wet with water.

Besides, that substance was an artifact that the Grand Duke of Nord gave me directly.

“I’m sure it’s not bad.”

I confirmed that it was working, but when I poured my magic power into it, the artifact greedily sucked my magic power. The artifact, which had enough mana to satisfy it, glowed and was activated.

– Eileen Nord.

A husky, low voice unique to Archduke Eileen was heard from beyond the paper.

“Connected.”

– Ludrick Weiss. What’s up with you? Could it be that Elena did something strange?

“……Uh, no. It’s not really like that.”

Whoa.

I took a deep breath and organized my words in my mind.

In a world without labor unions and no labor laws, wouldn’t it be right for workers to fight for their rights on their own? Being like this is a connection, and it is the same in this world that school ties, regional ties, and blood ties are accepted.

Well, if you ask me if I’m just whining, I don’t really have anything to protest.

First of all, I don’t know everything, but I have to say something even if it’s because I was scammed for a job. If I knew it would be like this, I’d rather continue studying on my own or go to the Magic Tower.

“It’s not that Her Highness did anything strange… No, job fraud is also weird.”

– … ….

For a long time, silence hovered over the artifact instead of an answer.

What kind of expression would Archduke Eileen have if she was told that she was scammed out of the blue? I don’t know, but I wondered if the expression of a little absurdity on that expressionless face was young.

Just before I was lost in useless thoughts, Archduke Eileen’s voice called my attention to distraction.

– If you are a job scam…… Have suffered can you tell me what it means?

“I-I said it’s definitely better than going to the Mage’s Tower. But they don’t cook dumplings, they just give me sandwiches and make me do research. Today, someone else was helping me, so it wasn’t that hard.”

– …… Being a wizard’s apprentice is usually like that. However, if he didn’t give you a detailed word in advance, and if he seduces you first and then treats you unreasonably, then there must be a problem.

“At first, they just told me to go to the capital city. So when I came, they told me to spend less time sleeping and study hard!

My voice rose for a moment, but when I realized that I was communicating with Archduchess Eileen, my voice lowered again.

– Ha…….

A deep sigh came through the artifact. I knew it the moment I heard it. That was a sigh of anger, or, to put it mildly, anger.

I don’t know if that’s because he gave me the artifact, so he was angry because of me whining about something like this, or because of the princess.

While I was looking at Archduke Eileen beyond the artifact, whose face I couldn’t see anyway, just rolling my eyes, I heard a husky voice as if I had regained my composure.

– I’m sure you know that.

“……Yes?”

– In the first place, it is not very common for me to give artifacts that are directly connected to me to others. But you were a bit of an exception.

“…….”

– That’s crazy.

“Yes?”

It took a while for me to frown and ask back at the voice I heard.

– You don’t seem to understand it well, but it’s like having a private meeting with the Grand Duke of Nord whenever you want. What does that mean…… Well, let’s leave this boring story at bay.

“……Uh, I know that well. That’s why I was able to say, ‘Can’t you do something about it?'”

– Huhu…….

A low laugh could be heard over the artifact.

– I didn’t know that I would receive a request from you, and I didn’t even know that the content of the request was to punish Elena.

“…….”

– I will go directly to the imperial palace tomorrow. You don’t have to worry. Is that the end of what you’re asking for?

“Well, that’s right. Everything else is fine.”

– I will know when the business is over.

As expected, the Grand Duke of the North.

The connection was severed as soon as the business was finished.

Just.

– Not knowing where to bounce is still the same.

Perhaps the communication state connected to the magical power was a bit bad, and such a voice came out. And with that voice at the end, a connection that was completely severed.

And then I looked at the artifact in a daze, and carefully picked it up and put it in a drawer in case it was damaged. It is an artifact that connects directly to the Grand Duke of Eileen Nord, not to anyone else. It’s a big deal if you lose it.

“If you come tomorrow and say something, it will be okay…?”

Muttered to himself while tilting his head.

No matter how much the opponent is the second princess of the world and the court wizard, the card this side pulled out was not easy. It was a situation where he had recruited the Grand Duke of the North of the world as an ally.

Leejay, Admiral Lee Dok, fighting fiercely.

If the other person has a high status, we can bring someone with a high status to solve the problem.

I’m glad you were willing to listen. I was prepared to be scolded for being kidding.

It would be much better to end up swearing for a while than to continue living as a graduate student with no future plans, but……. More than I thought, I thought that I didn’t want to do it even if I died soon as a graduate student.

A graduate student overnight after living an unemployed life of playing and eating for 20 years?

Absolutely not.

Cancer.

I was trying to rationalize it while nodding my head like that, but I suddenly had that thought.

I thought that what I just ran to Archduke Eileen and said might have opened Pandora’s box.

‘There must be something special.’

I thought so and brushed it off.

I felt strangely ominous.
