Chapter 119
The explanation of the Duchy of Windsor did not last long. I’ll explain. It was more snow than the Northern Great Forest, but Ruid wasn’t that active to begin with.
Ruid was sitting on the rice straw. Damon was like, ‘That’s amazing.’ ‘Huh.’ I added the same chuimsae and looked at the hand warmer. The people of the North came up with many tricks to overcome the cold, and hand warmers were one of them.
As I was taking my time, I heard a commotion nearby.
“Well, I said no.”
“How old are you?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Please, please…! “If you don’t process all of this today, you will be disciplined!”
“That’s none of my business. “I can’t really put it back!”
This was a food warehouse located in the square.
The knights had been carrying the rustic food outside earlier, and it seems they were planning to distribute it.
The problem is that people who receive food rations are refusing food.
“That one?”
“It’s like a regular event. “We are handing out food, but no one wants to receive it.”
“…Didn’t you say that the North is quite poor?”
“It’s because everyone is nice.”
Ruid watched with a chuckle as people protested.
The knight of Windsor was sweating profusely even in this cold weather.
“Please, please take everything!”
“Hey! “If I spray it already, I won’t be able to eat it later when I’m really in a hurry, right?”
“Yes, it’s still worth living. “You can eat one full meal a day.”
“And isn’t this because His Excellency the Duke gave away his own food!”
There are two reasons why the territory residents refuse food.
First, it was still worth living.
The weather in the North is divided into two types.
It’s cold, or it’s bitter cold.
In the latter, there is not even a speck of food left.
It’s so cold that even monsters won’t invade.
In other words, the logic was that if the warehouse is opened like this when it is not cold yet, it might not be able to be used when it is really urgent.
Second, there are concerns about the Duke of Windsor.
It is common knowledge that the Duke of Windsor lives a very frugal life.
…This was a perception I had created myself. I originally had that perception, but there was a time when I was lazy to eat, so I just slept and ate at a certain Young Ji-min’s house.
Of course, since he was young and had starved for a week, Confucius forgot about his dignity and ate very delicious food.
From then on, the rumor spread that ‘The Duke even gave food to his people to feed his only son.’
‘greatness.’
…I still feel sorry for what happened back then.
When I see you later, I will be as filial as I am sorry.
‘Anyway, I guess we’ll have to solve it. Still, he is a Confucius in his own way.’
A fierce battle was still going on between the knights who wanted to distribute food and the people who did not want to receive it.
Ruid took off his robe and entered their center.
People recognized Ruid at a glance.
“Oh, no?! “Aren’t you Confucius!”
“I heard you went to the Islands, but when…”
The knight of Windsor hastily bowed. Ruid grabbed my arm and helped me up.
“It’s vacation.”
“Hehe, time flies. “I think it was half a year ago that we had our farewell ceremony.”
…That’s right, half a year ago.
Ruid turned to the people of the territory.
“Oh my, look at how skinny our Confucius is.”
“If you went to the system, you would come back with some weight gain.”
“….”
Concerned voices from the territory residents were heard.
‘…Is it structurally correct for Youngji-min to be worried about Youngju’s son?’
Ruid was a little suspicious.
“I heard Confucius is here?”
“Hey, get out of the way.”
“You’re cute.”
“How did you grow up so well?”
In front of the food warehouse, where about three or four people had originally gathered, a large crowd suddenly gathered.
Ruid, who thought that many people had gathered, put his hands on his waist and said.
“Everyone, please take this food.”
“Oh, we’re done, so you can eat a lot, Confucius.”
“Are you eating well these days?”
Even if I said it myself, I never thought it would be like this.
No, on the contrary, it felt like the backlash from the residents of the territory grew even stronger because of Ruid’s words.
Where has the authority of the Duke of Windsor gone…!
It seemed like there was a need to correct it.
“Everyone listen to me.”
Ruid spoke very seriously.
“My family is not that poor.”
“We also have a decent life.”
“If you give it away like this, what will be left…”
‘Why on earth are you so worried about that…!’
Ruid was dumbfounded.
He took a long sigh and said.
“Larden Territory has been added to the Duchy of Windsor.”
“If it’s the Larden Territory, is it the place where you import it every time?”
Ruid spoke as if he was subtly bragging.
“huh. It’s a reward from His Majesty. FYI… it’s my personal property.”
“Oh oh!”
“From now on, we will bring food directly from Larden Territory. In other words, it costs less money. “This food was also brought from Larden Territory, so hurry and take it.”
“But.”
Even after saying this, people were reluctant to take food.
“It’s an order. “Take every single person.”
Thinking that it was this time, the knight of Windsor shouted loudly.
“It is an order from Confucius! “If you don’t take this, you will be punished!”
Only then did the territory residents begin to take food.
“Thank you, Confucius.”
“This amount will be enough to feed you for a month.”
I didn’t forget to say thank you one by one.
After all, people in the North are nice.
Ruid was proud. No matter where you go in the world, you will not find a place with such high civic awareness.
‘Anyway, I completely forgot. ‘Should I have stopped by when I came?’
In the past, a valuable estate that was received as a condition of becoming a professor at the academy.
I forgot about it for a while, but then it came to mind.
That’s right, distributing enough food at this timing is something that would normally be impossible for a duke.
“huh?”
Ruid looked somewhere at the familiar sight he felt.
Whick!
The silver eagle descended and stopped in front of Ruid.
“Hello Jefford.”
The eagle flapped its wings and hugged Ruid.
Damon asked with a puzzled look.
“Jefford?”
“Irene’s sister’s familiar.”
He took out a letter from the eagle’s beak.
After reading the letter, Ruid nodded.
“They say they’re all scolded now. “Let’s go to Windsor Castle.”
**
Sometimes I think about this.
‘Is it okay for me to enjoy all of this?’
A large house, a lot of money, good looks, and even great strength.
I was possessed by ‘Lazy Ruid’, who had everything that other people couldn’t even have.
Unlike my previous life, I had a harmonious family.
It is even loved very much.
‘I had a family in my past life too. It was pretty harmonious until that happened. But…’
If I had to explain the feeling of possession, it would be strange.
It is clear that he is a different being, but from the moment he was possessed by ‘Lazy Ruid’, it seemed very natural.
It feels like I woke up from a long dream.
Sometimes I think that my past life itself was just a creative dream I had for a while, and that ‘Lazy Ruid’ might actually be my real self.
Although it is ridiculous.
“son!”
Even in the touching moment of mother and son reunion, that feeble thought did not go away.
But what was clear was that the thought that came to mind now that I was being held by Victoria was that it was ‘precious.’
Whether it was the inherent feeling of ‘lazy Ruid’ or not, Ruid decided to be honest about his feelings.
He said with the most adorable smile he could.
“I missed you, Mom.”
“…!”
Victoria’s eyes wavered.
“Now… they don’t even call me mama.”
“…I’m 12 years old.”
I hurriedly waved my hand away, looking like I was dying of disappointment.
“Ah Okay. “I’ll call you Mama.”
Victoria’s expression brightened again. I hugged Ruid tightly again.
A familiar scene was visible through the window, over Victoria’s shoulder.
‘You’re back.’
It’s only now that I feel it.
Perhaps, the academy and his own life are much longer than the end of this original story.
I returned to Windsor Castle, where I would spend most of my time.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Victoria put her hand in Lloyd’s armpit and raised it high in the sky.
Ruid nodded. Victoria seemed to feel uneasy, so she put her son on the ground and looked at various parts of her youngest son’s body.
“I heard you went through some rough times. I was wondering what would happen if I got hurt somewhere… I’m glad that you seem to be okay. Have you been eating well? “You look a little thin.”
“It didn’t decrease or increase by even 1 gram.”
Victoria stroked Luid with a warm smile.
Stroking one’s own hair was something that happened quite often, but Victoria’s touch felt strangely better.
Much more careful and gentle.
‘This is where I will live. I think I forgot something important.’
If you think about it, doesn’t what happens in the original work have nothing to do with you?
Even if the original story goes to the worst situation –
the Duke of Windsor’s strength will be enough to deal with it.
‘Should I stay here like this? There is absolutely no advantage to being at the academy.’
The only thing that bothers me is Amelia and her various relationships.
I don’t think I would feel good if they got hurt.
But fortunately they were now in the North.
If we teach them well, improve their abilities, and send them back, wouldn’t they be enough to protect themselves?
‘I’ll have to consider it. ‘I feel like I want to get fucked here right now.’
At that time, Victoria spread her arms.
Ruid hugged Victoria without hesitation.
Victoria hugged little Lloyd’s body and whispered in his ear.
“Welcome.”
After stopping his thoughts, Ruid answered with a quiet smile.
“I’m home.”

“I heard the monster’s scent is suspicious, but it’s not just that.”
Irene muttered from above the fourth line of defense.
Irene saw a distant place that couldn’t be seen with normal human vision.
Monsters were gathering.
Like a soldier, armed with enthusiasm.
That number was too high to be considered an ordinary wave.
Rosalie, one of the twin maids, bowed her head and answered.
“It wasn’t like this when I reported it to the head of the family.”
“I know that. “It seems like the monsters are just gathering.”
Irene smoothed her chin.
“A catastrophe, huh… If possible, I would like to come after Louis goes to the academy.”
Mine appeared in Irene’s field of vision.
He was a demon with dark skin and black eyes down to the whites.
He glanced in this direction as if he knew he was being watched.
It’s probably a pretty strong demon with a name.
“It won’t work out that way.”
“I will report and come back.”
Irene grabbed Rosalie’s arm as she tried to disappear. The gaze was still directed towards Mine.
He spoke quietly with a smile.
“You’re probably having a good time with Louis by now, so don’t disturb him.”
“….”
Rosalie stared at Irene, then lowered her head and answered.
“yes.”
“Rather than that, when does Ruby say she’s coming?”
“We have arrived now.”
As soon as Rosalie spoke, a gate appeared next to her.
What came out of the purple space was Ruby. But next to Ruby was Damon.
Damon approached Irene with a calm face.
“Why did you call me?”
“Nothing special. “I didn’t want to disturb the mother and son who haven’t seen each other in a while.”
“Hmph, I don’t intend to disturb you. Because what I was curious about was Yeongji. “The purpose has been achieved.”
“Then that’s a relief.”
Irene didn’t particularly dislike Damon.
If I were to compare him to the Emperor, I liked Damon more than anyone else, to the extent that there was no comparison.
The reason was simple. This is because Ruid said that he received help from Damon quite often.
So what you want to do from now on is a small repayment.
How to use it is up to Damon himself.
Irene asked, facing Damon.
“Does our prince like hunting?”
Damon naturally raised the corners of his mouth.
“Of course. Hunting is the right skill a ruler must have.”
Irene laughed heartily.
“That’s good. I’d like to teach you a little about Windsor’s hunting methods.”
