I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy

Windsor Castle is white.
Although it was not the original design, it had a frozen appearance. That’s what happened after being in the snowy field for a long time.

Of course, with Windsor’s wealth and talent, he could have made Windsor Castle as cold as it was…

but since the extreme cold of the snowy field was not a hindrance to the child of the Windsor family, he was neglected and neglected until now.

The owner of the frozen castle was sitting on a throne that only the duke could sit on.

She was wearing a black dress, and her bright blonde hair reached below her waist. There was a silver tiara on her head.

Victoria Windsor.
He is the 6th Duke and the most powerful of all Windsors.
Maybe that’s why her children were also born with extraordinary talents.

Victoria Windsor gave a disapproving look.

I don’t enjoy sitting on the throne because I don’t like the empty feeling. He was not an emperor in the first place, and this type of authority was not suitable for a northern grand duke.

But today was a day when it was necessary. This is because ‘Irene Windsor’, who was none other than his successor and eldest daughter, abandoned the first line of defense without a sense of responsibility and followed her younger sister.

“Irene.”

“yes. “Matriarch.”

Irene, prostrate in front of Victoria, was smiling.
Victoria usually likes the look of her successor who keeps a smiling face no matter what happens, but when she saw it again today, her outfit changed.

“Don’t laugh.”

Irene’s face became expressionless.

“…it’s a joke.”

“yes.”

Irene smiled brightly again.

“What happened… I’m sorry.”

And Irene hit the player and quickly apologized.

“No matter how much you have the authority to act independently, protecting the first line of defense is important.”

“yes. sorry.”

“….”

Victoria remained silent and looked at Irene.

‘…What should I say?’

Actually, I was very angry.
There was a lot to say.
But when I said I was sorry, I was at a loss for words.

To be precise, it is difficult to know how to speak as a ‘peacock’.
Victoria was a duke.
He was the leader who protected this vast northern region.

If you don’t make the right decision, you will be in a position where you will have to deal with the worst outcome in half a day.

That’s why Victoria had to maintain her body.
Even if there were family problems, I couldn’t talk about them carelessly.
Rather than being a good mother to her three adorable children, she had to be an icy peacock.
The reality is that I cannot see my youngest son, whom I miss so much, often.

But, but…

“How can a successor be faithful only to his own desires?”

How could the heir who was supposed to inherit the position of head of the family act like this?

Why wouldn’t you want to see it as yourself?

I would touch the crystal ball several times a day, wanting to at least see Luid’s face.

That’s why Victoria was angry.
Just today, I was preparing to say something to Irene.
But when I actually saw Irene’s face… I couldn’t scold her.

Because Irene is precious?
Of course it is precious. But it wasn’t like this.
The reason I lost my anger was for another reason.
When I saw Irene’s face, it felt real. Soon, my youngest son and only son, Ruid, whom I love dearly, will come.
The corners of my mouth are twitching and I can’t stand it.

“It’s okay, Irene. “There would be no use telling you this.”

“Xavier, thank you.”

“The reason I called you an hour early was actually for another reason.”

Victoria slightly closed her eyes.

“There’s something I don’t want neither Louis nor Amelia to know. “From now on, keep what I say to yourself.”

“Finally, it’s war.”

“Yes, it is war.”

Victoria nodded quietly.

Irene’s smile deepened.

“I will go down to the islands right now and kill the emperor first.”

“…?”

Victoria blinked.
And my complexion got worse.
He said, wiping his face.

“…War is with monsters.”

“It was a joke.”

Victoria sighed.

“They say the monsters’ movements have been unusual recently.”

“What line of defense are you talking about?”

“entire.”

Irene’s eyebrows twitched ever so slightly.

“You mean everything?”

“We need to watch the trend a little more to find out, but for now, the most likely thing is ‘catastrophe.’”

“I heard it happened once 150 years ago. There would still be 50 years left….”

“You never know. It’s still just a sign. “Will we invade in 50 years as scheduled?”

The so-called ‘catastrophe’ refers to a wave of monsters that occurs approximately once every 200 years.

According to records, each time, the North suffered devastating damage.

It doesn’t stop in the north. When the ‘Great Disaster’ begins, there are monsters with numbers and strength that are incomparable to usual, and Windsor cannot completely stop them.

Inevitably, we miss a few. Of course, ground monsters are not missed, but the problem is flying monsters.

“But you definitely have to be prepared. “It is difficult to conclude that the cycle of a great disaster is 200 years, because it has only happened twice in history.”

“Is that why it is called war?”

“You have to choose one of the two. “Either we attack first and reduce the population, or we increase our power and wait for the monsters to invade.”

The reason why a catastrophe occurs is not clearly known.
However, the most influential theory is the ‘saturation state theory’.
The theory is that the population of monsters living in the north has increased excessively, and that this is a planned invasion to expand their territory.

“It seems better to reduce the population.”

Irene made a quick decision.

“No matter what the cause of the catastrophe, reducing the number of units taken will reduce the risk.”

“Right.”

Victoria spoke slowly.

“First of all, I said it in the sense of being aware. “Let’s talk about this after vacation is over.”

“May I know why you don’t tell your younger siblings?”

“It’s not time yet.”

Irene shook her head.

“I also felt the same way as the head of the family. I came to see it. And then I realized. “My younger siblings have grown up, and rather than hiding it forever, we should let them face it.”

“Do you remember what happened 10 years ago, Rin?”

Irene’s pupils widened slightly.

His face froze for a moment, then he smiled and answered.

“yes.”

“Probably since then. “Your humanity has been destroyed.”

“…I think it’s completely normal.”

Victoria said with a straight face.

“That’s not true.”

“….”

Irene was embarrassed.

10 years ago.
This happened when Irene was 12 years old.

At that time, the 4th defense line was under intensive attack.

The monsters that were supposed to be evenly distributed across the nine defense lines were causing trouble.

Victoria wiped out as many monsters as she could from the front lines, but no matter how powerful her magical power was, it was impossible to deal with the monsters that rained down on her for an entire month alone.

When there was a short period of time –
Irene, who was a quiet child, threw a tantrum towards Victoria for the first time.

Let us fight together.

Windsor’s knights fought hard alongside Victoria, but gradually their stamina and magical power were depleted. And there were dead people, leaving a hole in the camp.

Still, it would be great if you could at least lend a cat’s help.

Even at that time, Irene had stronger power than most of the Windsor knights.

After much thought, Victoria sent Irene to the front lines.

“That day the battle lasted longer than expected. Lin, you fought for about two weeks as a 12-year-old. “When I tried to send it back, it bit and scratched me – why did you try to fight so desperately?”

Irene answered without hesitation.

“My mother fought for two months.”

“I am a saint and a duke. But you weren’t. “I should have stopped you then…”

Victoria’s voice was filled with deep regret.

After that two week battle.
Irene has changed.

Before that, I was just a little quiet and liked killing bugs, so I was in the ‘normal’ category.

From then on, it seemed like any hesitation about killing ‘life’ had disappeared.

“Monsters are also life. Windsor is a target that must be killed – but there is no human being who can kill thousands or tens of thousands without feeling anything wrong. “It’s just becoming more and more dull.”

Especially since there were many monsters at that time who had egos.

In my defense, Victoria didn’t know.

The fact that if you kill that much life at a young age, your humanity fades.

If I had known… I wouldn’t have allowed it no matter what.

“Lin. You have become insensitive to the killing of life. Even if it’s the same person.”

“Is that disqualifying him as Windsor’s successor?”

Victoria shook her head.

“It couldn’t be better.”

The Duke who ruled the North had no need for humanity.
All that was required was the ability to protect oneself.

“I guess that’s it then?”

“Not your brothers.”

Irene had no choice but to agree.

Deep down, I wish my younger siblings would be a little more violent.

In particular, Ruid’s honest desire was to be of the same type as himself.

‘…Now that I think about it, Louis and I at that time were the same age.’

Still, I had no intention of forcing it.
He is the precious youngest, and will definitely become like her someday….

Irene thought about that and stopped thinking.
The more you think about a desire, the more you want to achieve it.

“All right. As the matriarch said, I will keep this story from my younger siblings. “More than that.”

Irene smiled softly.

“Louis, you should take a look, right?”

Victoria’s cold face changed into an innocent one.

And I was greatly embarrassed and fidgeted.

“Ah, I’m not mentally ready yet…”

She stood up and wandered around.

“Should I prepare dinner first? Would it be a good idea to come pick you up? Ah, no, what should I say first?”

Irene smiled brightly at Victoria, who couldn’t come to her senses whenever the topic of Ruid came up.

**

“Are you okay, Hersi?”

“Yes… I wonder if it would be okay to waste magical power like this even before the fight.”

Hersi was surrounded by the magic of the wind. It was somehow holding on by warming the air between the double curtains of wind.

In this condition, it will be able to withstand extreme cold for quite some time.

But the problem is….

“A total of 17 people have no measures against the cold, Captain!”

Amelia groaned in response to Gilbert’s report.

‘What should I do… I can’t even go if it continues like this.’

It was okay because I could get an artifact that could prevent the cold if I went to the first defense line, but the problem was how to get there.

“…By the way, Ella, what have you been doing since a while ago?”

Hersy asked Ella, who was sitting on the floor and scribbling something in her eyes.

Ella was the only one who wasn’t cold. Her face was a little red, but she seemed fine even without magic.

“Ah, Hercy.”

Ella said with a puppy-like face.

“We were developing efficient temperature control magic.”

“…Temperature control magic?”

“I saw Ruid using it. However, the horsepower was a problem to use as is, so it was being improved. “It’s almost finished. Would you like to see it?”

Hercy looked at the magic circle.

“…uh?”

I opened my eyes wide.
As Ella said, it was a magic that could be used with just a little magical power.

“No, that’s ridiculous. “You made this on the spot?”

“Yes!”

Ella raised one hand and shouted brightly.

‘…genius.’

Hercy swallowed hard.
Amelia came up from behind.

“Hercy. “Have you found a way?”

“…yes. I developed a magic without Ella. “At this level, anyone can use it.”

Amelia brightened, then her eyes became worried again.

“Most of the 17 people who do not have measures against the cold are members of the swordsmanship club.”

“Don’t worry about that! “Amelia.”

Ella stood up.
Amelia looked up at Ella, who was one size taller than her.

‘…I think I’d be better suited as a knight than a wizard.’

The skeleton was that of a typical female knight.

“This spell is total magic. “With Hercy’s magical power, it will be possible.”

“greatness.”

Hercy cleared her throat and blushed.

“That’s because the magic I used in training yesterday didn’t come back.”

Amelia spoke confidently.

“hmm. Then we just have to wait until then.”

Because Amelia was simple.

Hercy said, smiling awkwardly.

“…There is a way.”

“It would be better if we could go right away, Hersi. However, there is no need to overdo it.”

Hercy shook his head.

“It’s not unreasonable. It’s just… there’s someone other than me who can make this magic happen.”

“Has there been anyone else in the Ministry of Magic with such outstanding skills?”

“yes. “It’s not that strong because of its low application ability, but there is a kid who is born with magical power.”

Hercy sighed weakly and looked somewhere.

“Sophia Queensberry. “Could you please come this way?”

“Sophie, Hersy is calling.”

Justin said, looking at Sophia.

“Ah, uh, yes.”

Lilith timidly got up.

I tucked my short hair behind my ear and walked towards Hersi with a shy smile.

But her eyes were fixed on Amelia Windsor next to her.

Brilliant blonde.
It had an appearance that reminded me of someone.
Is it because the same blood flows? Amelia seemed very attractive to Lilith.

She chanted a powerful wish in her heart.

‘Please wait a moment. ‘My husband.’

Lilith. No, Sophia barely suppressed the laughter that was about to escape.
