{Borders and Monopolies}
When Yuria went to J-Ha Academy for the first time in a while, what she was greeted with was a massive cheer.
“Princess Yuria! Awesome!”
“You’re the best, Yuria!”
“Congratulations on winning!”
“To beat all the minst academy guys and win! It’s amazing!”
The students of Jha Academy were all clapping and cheering for YuRia.
Her professors were also smiling happily, and it seemed that they were also admiring the achievements that Yuria had achieved by going to Minst Academy to study abroad.
‘Perhaps I came back too early, so not much has changed.’
The appearance of J-Ha Academy, which has returned after a long time, has not changed much.
And since Theodore was the head of all departments except for the Divinity Department, her position was the second head of the Swordsmanship Department.
“Student YuRia! Welcome back!”
And Professor Morten, one of the professors in the Faculty of Swordsmanship, approached with a smile.
His face was smiling non-stop, not a ceremonial smile, but he also seemed to be delighted with the fact that she defeated all the Minst Academy students and won the tournament.
‘It’s not strange since His Majesty was also delighted.’
Yuria recalled the day before when she reported her report to the emperor.
Ten days ago, on a late Friday night, the image of the emperor rejoicing over Yuria’s victory was still vivid.
He was delighted that Yuria Arsane, a second-year student at the Arkan Empire’s Jha Academy, won the tournament by defeating all the talented students from the Britannian Empire’s Minst Academy.
Professor Morten, delighted with the outstanding performance of his country’s students in competition with other countries, looked similar to the emperor.
“Huh, YuRia. You’ve become popular? You used to be popular, but maybe there’ll be a religion that worships Yuria as her goddess?”
Seeing Ashley playfully speaking, Yuria slightly shook her head.
“No way. Wouldn’t it be faster to create a religion that worships Theo as a god?”
Yuria thought that she was serious, not joking.
She was herself, but Theodore would have been more troublesome in the future.
‘Now that it’s known that Theo is really the chosen one… ‘
Of course, Yuria’s achievements were so great that they were unheard of in history.
Perhaps it would be difficult for a second-year student to come out with the achievement of defeating all the talented students of the Britannia Empire’s most prestigious academy.
But more important than all of that, it was revealed that Theodore Skylord’s true identity was the Chosen One, the only hope to save the world.
Because Yuria is also the fiancée of her chosen one, she might get more attention, but she would not be as good as Theodore, the chosen one.
Especially, since the story of Theodore’s past was known, it was clear that he would receive a lot of attention.
‘Theo doesn’t want to be pitied.’
Yuria was well aware that Theodore did not want anyone to sympathize with her because of her past.
And even in her opinion, Theodore was not a person to be sympathized with.
To be honest, no one was as proud as he was.
‘No one would be in a position to sympathize with Theo.’
If there were any people who were qualified to sympathize with Theodore’s situation, it would be the Duke and Duchess of Skyroad.
But no one else had the right to sympathize with Theodore and treat him as a pity.
He was already the heir to the Duke of Skyroad, he was the chosen one, and he was the strongest in the Jayha Academy that everyone acknowledged in terms of ability.
It was not just the students, but also the professors.
Perhaps if he combined all of his abilities, he might be the strongest player in the Arkhan Empire.
No, Yuria thought it would be true.
“If it is a religion that worships Prince Theodore as a god, that would be acceptable.”
Ashley also acknowledged that Theodore’s situation was not in a position to be sympathized with, so she nodded in sympathy with YuRia’s words.
Perhaps, from her point of view, Theodore was difficult to approach.
‘Theo doesn’t give affection easily.’
To the extent that if you give him a kiss, it grows out of control, Yuria now knows more about how he draws the line.
He drew more than a certain line not only with his friend Ashley, but even with his own family, the Duke and Duchess Arsene and Lilia.
To him, they would all end up as people he knew only by their faces if he didn’t exist.
“Yuria, but a strange story has been circulating since a week ago.”
“What kind of story is this?”
Yuria asked while walking inside the academy with Ashley.
There was still some time before class, so she was taking a light walk with her friend.
“That’s it… Several female students put their heads together to try to seduce them into going into Prince Theodore’s concubine…”
Yuria stopped walking.
As she fidgeted with the handle of her sword wrapped around her own waist, Yuria felt an emotion slowly bubbling up from within her.
The name of that emotion was anger.
‘Where do you dare to look?’
The first thought that came to her head was this.
As Yuria, who did not share Theodore even with her beloved sister Lilia, she had no intention of condoning the actions of other women who dared to take the seat next to him.
“What kind of girls are they?”
Yuria asked Ashley who became chilly.
Ashley said as if she had been waiting, feeling the distinctly colder tone in her tone.
“First of all, Abigail from the 4th year Faculty of Magic, Astoria from the 3rd year Faculty of Swordsmanship, and Victoire from the 3rd year Faculty of Magic are representative.”
“Yeah, I remembered all three.”
It was a time when YuRia quietly made up her mind.
“Yuria.”
Yuria immediately smiled brightly at the familiar voice calling her.
“Theo!”
Theodore, dressed in a male student uniform from Jayha Academy, was approaching.
Yuria quickly approached Theodore, and at that appearance, Ashley shed a lamentation mixed with self-deprecation along with an exclamation of “Wow~”.
“Why is my side getting cold…”
And then, Theodore’s unexpected behavior that followed her surprised her even more.
“Oh my God! You both are so bold!”
* * *
“Theodore Skylord was the chosen one!”
“For some reason, the ability is amazing. Was that the reason?”
“But isn’t there a drop of blood mixed with the Duke of Skyroad? Can a complete stranger become the successor?”
“I hear that if Princess Yuria gives birth to a child, her heir will marry someone with the blood of the Duke of Skyroad to inherit it?”
“Ah, then it will work.”
Theodore knew that his stories were coming and going inside J-Ha Academy.
There were many students of the Arkhan Empire’s Jeha Academy who admired themselves for occupying the top positions in all faculties except for the top spot in the Divinity Faculty.
I knew that there were many followers made up of women, but Theodore always had a clear line, so it was just a courtesy to keep a reasonable distance from them.
I didn’t have the slightest personal favor with them.
“Oh, hello. Prince Theodore?”
“Yes, senior Victoire.”
Theodore smiled and greeted Victoire, her junior year student, in good manners.
But that alone caught her eyes enough to make her face turn red.
However, the fact that she was quite pretty did not impress Theodore.
‘Yuria.’
Rather than that, she thought that she wanted to see Yuria’s appearance.
At Minst Academy, we used to spend hot nights together at the dorm, but it was difficult at J-Ha Academy.
‘I think we should go to school together starting tomorrow.’
Theodore must have been accustomed to moving alone, but for some reason he felt empty.
It seemed that it had come to be taken for granted that Yuria was right next to her.
The way she smiled and many other aspects of her came to her mind spontaneously.
The sound of her laughing, the voice of her asking questions, and the voice of her bewitching seduction were playing in her head as if she had heard them right next to her.
Theodore, who kept picturing various images of her in his head, thought it was like withdrawal symptoms.
‘I’ve fallen terribly into it.’
Yuria Arsein, who somehow managed to get over the barricade she had set up and came in, was driving him crazy to the point that she now made him even feel the withdrawal symptoms of her.
Before her beautiful appearance, she was affected by her actions in unexpected ways.
‘I’m walking while talking to a friend… It must be hard to leave it alone.’
Theodore thought so and immediately went to where Yuria was and called for her.
“Yuria.”
“Theo!”
Theodore immediately hugged her at the sight of Yuria approaching her with a bright smile.
It was something that happened inside the J-Ha Academy, and of course it was in front of all the students nearby.
