“Do you have that? It doesn’t look very tasty.”
“Tasty, delicious, but…”
Rowena spoke in a voice that was a little shaky at Lee Han’s harsh criticism.

Not all elves were necessarily vegetarians, but some elf families did adore vegetables. Lee Han knew that too, so he didn’t blame Rowena.
“Don’t cancel the word that it doesn’t taste good. But when she sees the rest of her schedule, she’d be better off eating a little solid.”
Lee Han took Klatran’s plate with the horse.
When he lost a plate of thick pancakes soaked in honey and syrup, three kinds of fruit tarts, and a plate of crispy three-layer meat pie, he broke his ankle and made a more painful expression than he did the last time he had been in the fight. .
However, the princess’s face brightened slightly.
Lee Han placed the plate in front of her princess, and held out her green plate to Kl Tran.
“Clatran. You eat this.”
“…can’t we just bring it back? Wodanaz?”
“So.”
Kltran got up from his seat anxiously, hoping that the pancakes weren’t running out. Rowe I saw that she didn’t have a plate in front of Lee Han, she said.
“Isn’t it better to eat a little something?”
“I think this is enough for me, so I think you should fill the plate a little.”
“I’m fine too…”
“I beg your pardon? Her Majesty the Princess? Worried? Are you worried?”
The princess put her pancakes in her mouth and looked at her absurdly, but she ignored Lee Han.
Rowena stood up from her seat as if she knew it.
“Oh yeah. Are you really okay with that plate?”
“it’s okay.”
Lee Han didn’t like Rowena’s fresh green plate, but she wasn’t hungry, and above all, Lee Han was used to her rough food.
Even when the Blue Dragon Tower friends clapped with the hard black bread, Lee Han was able to pass it down his throat without hesitation.
“Wordanaj-sama also likes vegetables.”
“It’s not… no. Just bring a plate or something. The break is over.”
Lee Han sent Rowena out of his seat again. Then she said to the princess.
“Aren’t your followers bullying you?”
The princess croaked and coughed her while eating. Lee Han handed the cup. The princess drank some of her fruit juice and she answered slowly.
“…no.”
“Really? I’ve been thinking about it since I was in school, but that seems a bit annoying.”
The princess was silent for a moment. She seemed to be choosing what to say.
“It’s not with bad intentions… it’s not. Just a little… I’m over-motivated…”
‘Gainando needs to see that.’
Lee Han admired the appearance of the princess who tried not to curse her followers as much as possible.
If it had been Gainando, the criticism would have come right away, saying, ‘These kids say I want to eat, but I can’t eat, I want to play, but I can’t play, I’m not studying, but I force them to do something.
“Can I not tell you to restrain yourself? Just one word would make you understand.”
At Lee Han’s words, the princess shook her head.
Then, it is irresponsible as an imperial family to be arrogant to his followers and live up to their expectations.It was described as breaking.
As long as you are supported by the royal family, you have a responsibility to show your followers what they expect.
A person who does not say anything and nods his head solemnly tends to feel more charismatic than saying, “I am not what you think I am”.
‘No what?’
Lee Han was shocked beyond admiration.
You must be thinking like that.
Of course, there must have been someone in the royal family who had that kind of responsibility, but when I played with Guy Nando, I was surprised and compared for nothing.
‘Isn’t it about five years older than Guynando?’
“Still, the number of followers may not be that high yet, so wouldn’t it be better to convince them from now on? How many followers do you have?”
Lee Han was a little embarrassed to be with Bo Gajun, Judraantas, and the two of them, but he thought about the followers of Guynando.
According to the city’s rumors, Bogajun’s followers consisted of one medium-sized Earth Elemental Wizards Guild, one well-known adventurer party, three tops, two banks, one guerrilla team, and five city noble families. Those who are counted as followers of Baldrogaard were one tower built by wizards from Baldrogard, one large leather guild, one horse tower specializing in carnivorous plant research, two swordsman guilds and three knight families.
Those who are counted as followers of Gainando are the owners of the confectionery store in Granden City or the owner of a toy store, if I had to force them.
Of course, there are more followers of the princess than Gai Nando, but it was worth trying to persuade them one by one and gain human support if it was Bo Ga-Jun and Judraantas.
“Palm Knights, Red Rain Wizard Tower, Imperial Western Union Chamber of Commerce, Cross Brothers Swordsman, Olodo Party…”
“……”
However, a list completely different from Lee Han’s expectations came out of the princess’ mouth.
The Palm Tree Knights were an honorary knights made by the great nobles of the Empire, and their force was weaker than that of the real knights, but their name value was enough to crush a few knights as they were, and the Red Rain Wizard Tower was a horse tower built by wizards from Einroguard.
The Imperial Western Union Chamber of Commerce was a huge capital group formed by the upperclassmen and merchants of the western region, and the Brothers Cross Swordsmanship was a prestigious swordsmanship guild that produced many outstanding swordsmen. Some knights went and learned swordsmanship, so there was no need to say more. The Olodo Party was an adventurer’s party that I’ve heard of Lee Han-do’s name several times.
‘Is this enough?’
I thought my name would appear frequently in the Imperial newspapers, but I’m sure the big guys of that size already supported it.
Even that isn’t the end, there’s more left.
Lee Han understood why so many of her freshman friends support the princess.
‘I think the country will want to support it too.’
Isn’t that the highest win rate horse in the Empire? Even Lee Han seemed to want to support him.
The princess stopped her words and looked at Lee Han.
As she is a senior in the grade who is doing a lot of work even on vacation, she was expected to give clear advice about the current situation.
“My Majesty the Princess.”
“!”
“Be strong.”
“……”
The princess stared at Lee Han.
She spoke differently than before.
“…you told me to persuade you.”
“Well. Come to think of it, sometimes dignity is better than persuasion. There is a saying that silence is more precious than gold. Look at Guyan over there.”
Taking Guy Nando as an example shamelessly, she could not refute the princess.
* * * *
Until the end of the event, Lee Han was nervous.It was released, but there was no attack.
Seeing the skeleton principal greeting the city aristocrats with melancholy eyes, Lee Han sighed in relief.
‘Somehow I lived.’
“Oh yeah. Wodanaz. I have one thing to ask you as we go.”
At Rowena’s words, Lee Han was puzzled.
“Are you suggesting that we do an adventurer quest together?”
Some of the White Tiger Tower students who heard rumors during vacation would suggest that whenever they see Lee Han, they say, ‘I found this kind of request, and if it succeeds, we will all be able to sit on a pile of gold coins.’
However, in Lee Han’s view, most of them were false requests. The possibility was so slim that no one touched it, so the color of the request was fading.
“ah. sorry. I haven’t heard anything new about the quest to subdue a being equivalent to the king of ghouls.”
“…Rowena. First of all, I am not a person who only seeks out things like the king of ghouls.”
“Be humble.”
Rowe I laughed as if she was going to pass. Lee Han thought that the White Tiger Tower guys were all really annoying.
“So what do you want to ask?”
Rowe I pulled a thin booklet out of her arms. On the cover of the booklet it was written:
To Her Majesty, the Honorable Aden Art, may this riddle appease Your Majesty’s boredom.
“Isn’t that really rude?!”
“Uh… huh?”
Lee Han couldn’t keep up with Rowena’s resentment, so his reaction was a bit late.
Rowe I explained to her later.
Among her followers, there were those who believed and supported them as actively as Rowena, but there were also those who compared, tested, and watched.
Of course, these people had no regrets, and they had quite a strong power in the empire. Without that level, I couldn’t do a tightrope like that.
The riddle I received this time was sent by one of the Imperial Dukes. Words are a gift, and if the recipient fails to unlock it, his reputation could be damaged, so he had to be very careful.
“It’s definitely rude…”
“The Duke sent this riddle the other day! Keep doing what once is enough…! No matter how much gold you reward, if you keep doing this…”
“goldfinch?”
“yes?”
“Didn’t I just say gold coins?”
“yes. did you?”
Of course, as the opponent was an imperial family, he sent only such a riddle and did not finish it.
It was the honor of the nobility to send a congratulatory gift as well as an apology for testing if the riddle was answered correctly.
Hearing this explanation, Lee Han felt immense jealousy towards Adenart.
‘I envy you!’
Lee Han can solve such a riddle diligently, so why didn’t the other great nobles send him to Lee Han?
In fact, I knew the reason very well. As one of the successors of the Empire, the Imperial Family, it is okay to send such a thing.
“for a moment. Kainando is… no. done. I was about to ask something. Anyway, that’s why you’re all pondering this riddle together?”
“Yes.”
“Did you all think about it together last time?”
“Yes.”
“Did the princess take all the gold coins she received?”
“no. Did you give it to us?”
“……”
Lee Han seriously wondered if he should have become friends with the princess rather than Guy Nan.
Of course, he was still satisfied enough now, but he regrets a little when he hears what the princess’s followers have to say…
“Isn’t this the Wizard of the Wodanaj family?”
Ihan raised his head in contemplation. The owner of the familiar voice was surprisingly the Duke of Icaldoren.
“This is a happy coincidence. Time has passed since the last time we metIt’s been quite a while. To meet you like this.”
Of course it was a lie.
The Duke of Ikaldoren appeared around here today to make contact with valuable students of the Magic School.
And if it was a boy from the Wodanaj family, it could be said that it was the most valuable card.
‘You’re with Princess Adenart? Are you supporting the princess by any chance? I heard that Kainan is also close with the prince?’
Duke Ikaldoren had a lot of thoughts and worries during that short period of time.
“It’s nice to see you. Your Majesty the Duke.”
“If it’s okay, why don’t we talk for a moment?”
Rowe I gave her an outright dislike. Lee Han poked Rowena in the back to mean to take care of her expression.
-what’s the matter?
-That duke sent me a rude riddle!
– No really? By the way, last time, I had a big basilisk egg…
-Yes?
-Nothing.
It didn’t matter to Lee Han whether the duke kept trying to test the princess or not.
And if it was the peacock who gave the riddle, he should have taken a more approach. Wouldn’t that be the only way to find a hint?
At that moment, a gloomy energy flowed from the alley. It was a dangerous energy mixed with life explicitly.
Duke Ikaldoren’s escorts rushed in surprise.
“Stand back. master!”
“It’s done. I will deal with it.”
Lee Han sighed and held up his staff.
With that absurd confidence, the escorts didn’t know whether to be shocked, discouraged, or angry, so their reaction was delayed by one beat.
“What the hell… Wodanaj-sama. I know you’re the magician of Einroguard, but this is no joke…”
“Did I say I was going to fight you?”
Lee Han looked at the alley.
And then he shook his head. It was thought that the principal of the skeleton was playing a lot of jokes.
You have to finish it inside the banquet hall. If you do this outside, won’t outsiders get involved like this?
“…for a moment.”
Lee Han felt something strange.
The energy coming out of the alley was getting stronger and stronger, no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a joke.
