Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

Laura was walking down the Imperial Palace corridor. She had just had a simple, ordinary conversation with her father, the Emperor, and was on her way back.

There was no particular reason. It was just a normal, everyday conversation between father and daughter, and neither of them had any ulterior motives.

Laura, who had finished her conversation as a father and daughter, not as an Emperor and a Crown Prince, stopped as she saw someone approaching from a distance.

The other person greeted her warmly.

“Hey, it’s been a while.”

Igor Ercarencia, with blond hair contrasting with Laura’s black hair, a height that looked at least a head taller than Laura, a well-built body, and a handsome face that ninety-nine percent of people would rate as handsome.

Laura’s older brother and once the Crown Prince.

Of course, not anymore. It had been a long time since he had lost the power struggle with Laura and been stripped of his title as Crown Prince.

That’s why it was even more strange. How did a man whose very name, symbolizing the bloodline of the Imperial Family, had been taken away, enter the Imperial Palace corridors?

“How have you been, little sister?”

“I have no reason to be called your little sister. Show respect to the Crown Prince, now.”

Laura, who naturally shrugged off the arm that was about to rest on her shoulder, folded her arms and glared at him. But Igor calmly accepted her gaze.

“This is ridiculous. You can’t say no to your brother. If you act so coldly, you won’t have any friends. Be more flexible, kid.”

“Your behavior is so frivolous that I can’t stand it. Have you finally gone crazy, Igor Ercarencia?”

Laura found it extremely unpleasant. The fact that this man was trying to match her was unpleasant in itself.

After losing the power struggle, he had been unable to even look her in the eye, and now he was acting so confidently. What had happened to him during that time?

“I’m perfectly sane, little sister. And, why did you leave out the word that should come after my name?”

“You don’t have the right to claim the bloodline of Bellium. I warn you. Know your place, Igor Ercarencia. I will not tolerate any more rudeness.”

“Ah, that?”

Igor grinned. It was a smile that had charmed countless women, but to Laura, it only brought disgust and annoyance.

“I’ve been gaining confidence lately.”

“Are you on drugs or something in broad daylight?”

Laura scoffed at his words.

He was the one who had been exiled to the outskirts after losing the power struggle. Laura herself had received recognition as a legitimate and proper successor from the Emperor.

Moreover, if Laura signaled with her hand right now, she could have him executed by framing him for any number of crimes.

In this situation, why would anyone support Igor over Laura? Anyone with a sane mind and a proper understanding of politics wouldn’t do such a thing. It was an action that a noble with a sound mind would never take.

“I’ll let it slide this time, so get lost. Be grateful for my mercy, and don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I’ll call the Royal Guard and have your neck chopped off.”

“Hey, hey, listen to the end, little sister. I’m serious……”

“I told you to get rid of that dirty hand.”

-Slap!

Laura slapped Igor’s hand.

Igor looked down at his reddened hand and seemed about to get angry, but soon changed his expression and smiled slyly, raising his hands near his head.

“Okay, okay. I’ll leave. I didn’t come here to fight with you, so if I stay any longer, someone might catch me.”

“In fact, they could catch you. You should keep in mind that the fact that your neck is still attached is thanks to the Emperor’s mercy.”

In fact, Laura had truly intended to blow off the necks of the two siblings. There was nothing more uncomfortable than leaving behind a defeated royal family member.

The current Emperor, that is, the father of the siblings, had begged her, almost threatening her, not to witness a fratricide during his lifetime.

Laura, who had noticed the hidden meaning behind his words, had readily agreed. It meant that she could do whatever she wanted with them after she ascended the throne.

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

“Also, you should be careful with your choice of words. In the relationship between you and I, the word ‘fight’ does not apply. A fight implies a dispute between two equal parties.”

Igor didn’t answer and just kept smiling slyly as he walked past Laura.

“How long do you think you can keep it a secret?”

Then, as he passed by, he whispered.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, hiding something.”

It was a blatant attempt to find out her inner thoughts, even though he obviously didn’t know anything. It was a tactic that was too obvious to ignore.

“Heh, okay. Think whatever you want. You’ll find out soon enough.”

Igor waved his hand casually and left, and then started hitting on a maid near the corner.

Laura, who had been watching him with disgust, turned away.

“I wasted my time for nothing.”

Her hand naturally went to the necklace of a thousand transformations. It felt a little awkward because it had been a while since she had lived with a perfect male skeleton.

Laura thought that she should call Mira soon when she returned to the Academy to confirm the effect of the special training.

He had asked Beatrice to clean the mansion and had also conveyed that she didn’t need anyone to wait on them.

It was natural. Not only did they have to keep the fact that the Demon King had come here a secret, but it was also essential for the sake of the conversation that could only be shared among the reincarnators.

No matter how close Beatrice was to him, he couldn’t reveal anything related to the reincarnation.

“Greetings, friends of Young Master. I am Beatrice. I have come to serve you.”

“Ah, hello. I am Nika Yustera. Likewise, I have come to serve you…… Ni, da……?”

But, I never imagined that she would come here herself.

Elysier was happily eating cake, but she suddenly looked away as if she was looking at something else, and Rosalia seemed quite flustered, worried that the Demon King might be discovered.

The only one who seemed calm was Priscilla.

“……”

On the other hand, Nika, who was now living as Nika Yustera, a former succubus, was also quite surprised.

Of course, it wasn’t because of me, but because of Elysier. She seemed to have realized who the purple-haired woman sitting in front of her was.

“Hic.”

Nika, who had been constantly looking at the Demon King, hiccupped. Beatrice, who heard the sound, glared at Nika with axe eyes, but she soon returned to her original expression because of our presence.

“I said you didn’t need to come, and I didn’t need anyone to wait on me.”

“The master and mistress have also given their permission, so rest assured.”

“……Both of them gave their permission? Why?”

“Young Master always says it’s fine. This time, too, you must have had some inconveniences while staying with your friends, and they didn’t want you to bear it alone.”

Since childhood, no matter how much he said he was fine, healthy, and okay, they never believed him, and this situation seemed to be an extension of that. Mira sighed inwardly and approached Beatrice.

“Beatrice.”

“Yes, Young Master. What is it?”

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

She signaled to the three behind her to wait, and then lifted Beatrice onto her shoulder.

If she carried her in a princess carry, it would feel like she would have to do the same for others later.

“Kyaat?!”

Beatrice, a veteran maid who had experienced many battles, also made a cute moan as she experienced this for the first time.

“Young Master?! What’s this all of a sudden?!”

“Be quiet.”

He put her arms around her waist and squeezed. Beatrice immediately became quiet. Then, using physical enhancement, he left the mansion. A shrill scream rang out from behind.

When they arrived at the forest, Mira put Beatrice down. Beatrice, who had been catching her breath, “Huff, huff,” straightened her clothes as soon as she made eye contact with Mira and returned to her usual self.

“What is it that you wish to say, Young Master?”

Mira frowned slightly and approached Beatrice. Beatrice, who had finally sensed the unusual atmosphere, hesitated and backed away. Thud, her back hit the tree behind her.

Mira placed his hand on top of her head and bent his elbow. Naturally, his body leaned forward, and his elbow touched the tree. Their foreheads were almost touching.

It was a version of the so-called ‘wall-bang’ where they were even closer. In that state, he placed his other hand on Beatrice’s shoulder.

“Beatrice.”

“Yes, Young Master……”

“What did I tell you before I came here?”

“You said you didn’t need any servants……”

“Yes. But why did you come?”

“But, Young Master……”

Mira lowered his head further. As their noses almost touched, Beatrice’s eyes closed as she hiccupped. She seemed to have caught it from Nika.

“Do I still look sickly to you? Really?”

“That……”

“Didn’t you hear that I got first place in the mid-term exams at the Academy? I’m sure the news was delivered to the house. Didn’t your parents tell you?”

“I heard……”

“Then why are you doing this?”

Mira deliberately pushed Beatrice hard. He needed to do this.

If it had been just her, he would have let it go, whether she came or not. He had lived with her for 18 years, and they had a lot of affection for each other. The whole family had worried about him many times.

It was also an improvement from the past.

But now, it was different. If he hadn’t sensed their presence a little earlier and cast a spell on Elysier, it could have been very difficult to deal with.

“Beatrice.”

So, she needed to make sure things were clear here.

“Yes, yes, yes, Young Master……”

“I’ll make it clear. When I say I’m fine, that means I’m really fine. Got it?”

“But, Young Master……”

“Answer.”

Mira lowered his head further. As their noses touched, Beatrice closed her eyes.

It was a method Rosalia had told him about before, and if even Beatrice, who had been with him for 18 years, reacted like this, it seemed to be quite effective.

“Hic?!”

Mira waited for Beatrice to answer, but a strange sound came from an unexpected place. He turned his head.

Nika was trembling as she looked at them.
