chapter 18
18 – Reunion with the Royal Palace
“Enough of today’s class.”
With the cry of the end of class, they rushed out.
The homeroom teacher who forgot to call attendance again belatedly started drawing dozens of circles on the attendance sheet at once.
Usually, even if class was over, there was no running out first, and it was something I shouldn’t have done.
Since the homeroom teacher said in the morning that he would take care of her for today, she is unable to catch her again.
I left the homeroom teacher and Lili alone and went outside.
When I came out, all the first graders were waiting in line in front of a big truck.
One of the employees standing in front of the truck was checking his ID card and checking the list, while another employee was in the truck.
They were taking out items and handing them out one by one.
“What is that giving you?”
I was interested in exchanging square boxes, but
If I went and asked for one, wouldn’t it be a nuisance?
Lillie took her phone out of her pocket and turned it on, and she gave a look that she knew what was going on.
“It’s the day to distribute the entrance gift. Come to think of it, was it the company’s product that I first presented to Her Highness?”
“Could it be mango pads? Those are very expensive. Can you give them as a gift for admission?”
“I understand that among them, the cheapest one is handed out to the basic model.”
Although I had already received the Mango Pad Pro as a gift from my mother, where would the blood of the tech-chung go?
I took Lillie’s hand and dragged her toward the back of the line.
She doesn’t seem to be very interested in Lily.
It’s hard to carry around because of its size, and what’s the point of buying it when you can already do everything with your mobile phone?
It was a typical minimalist idea.
…
Come to think of it, if you look at the community
There was a situation where the relationship between her and her husband was extremely broken because the wife did not approve of her husband’s hobbies.
There were also people who soaked their husband’s favorite electronic devices in the water with detergent in the bathtub and broke them.
Even those who insist on refunding what they have already bought.
The incident gradually cracked the relationship, and eventually divorced…
No, of course Lillie wouldn’t do such a heinous(?) Thing.
There’s no way this understanding and kind child will grow up to be that kind of person.
Still, I don’t know what a person is.
I’ll make an effort to tell Lillie where to use the tablet PC.
The line quickly decreased and we received the tablet PCs.
As a result, not only the main body was given out, but also a smart keyboard and a pencil were given out.
How much money is…
“Huh? I don’t think this is a cheap model?”
The model with PRO is the most expensive one.
It depends on the capacity, but at least one medium silver coin (about 1 million won) or more.
Considering that the cheapest model is 4 small silver coins (about 400,000 won)
Even if your hands get bigger, they’re too big.
I looked around.
Could it be that only me and Lili got top models?
Poof
Poof
All holding the same model
hahahaha, hoho, he is smiling and heading towards his dormitory.
Wow…. Burning 360 million as an entrance gift?
Since I am exclaiming, not exclamation, Lillie chuckles.
“Your Highness, don’t you know what the academy’s annual budget is?”
“Of course I don’t know. I didn’t know it was such a rich school until I entered.”
“Rich… Considering the wealth of the Sieghart family, isn’t it rather low class… Anyway, Crescent Academy’s annual budget is 450 large gold coins.”
“Investing 4.5 Trillion won in educational institutions…? Who?”
“4.5 Trillion…?”
“It’s nothing. Keep talking.”
“Crescent Academy is the world’s largest educational institution founded by His Majesty the predecessor. It deserves to be organized.”
“Huh.. Educational institutions are also educational institutions, but isn’t there a place to invest more?”
“I heard that the military budget is 350,000 gold coins per year…”
“Yes. That’s it. It’s a country with more money than you can imagine.”
“Of course. It’s a hegemon with more than 2/3 of the world as territory.”
Didn’t the United States use 1,000 trillion won in its annual defense budget and call it “Cheonjoguk”?
A simple calculation of 350,000 gold coins is about 3,500 trillion.
It’s really beyond imagination…
After that, I told Lillie extensively how to use the tablet PC.
At first, he showed a puzzled expression, but he was able to write with a pencil and use a word program with a smart keyboard.
When I demonstrated it, he showed an expression of culture shock.
Even if you can do everything with a small smartphone, you seem to have noticed the productivity of working with a large tablet PC.
I came up to the dormitory, called my older sister, threw the tablet on the bedside, and lay down.
I did, but my mother gave me a high-end model with a large capacity, so I didn’t really need to open it.
“I called my eldest sister… So let’s call Alice.”
Even my queen gets upset if I don’t call her every day.
That’s also on a huge scale…
From two years ago when we first met until now, we’ve been talking on the phone every day except for a few times.
Of course, I’ve only been doing it on my phone for about a week now, but
I started making phone calls with the attitude that I was used to it now.
‘Durururu-duk’
Since he always calls around this time, I wonder if Alice was also waiting.
The phone rang just once, and I answered the phone.
“This is Alice.”
-Did you have a good class today? Did you hear the instructor?
What are you talking about…
“…Not even my mother…”
-Ahahahaha, it’s a joke. It’s a joke. Did you receive your admission gift today?
“I received it when I arrived earlier. There are rumors that my hands have gotten a little bigger compared to last year.”
-Yuke is an enrolled jockey, so of course you have to do that, right?
“Isn’t that what you’re talking about?”
-Ah, it’s a gift from someone.
“I like the tablet, but I want something else.”
– Huh? Really? Say anything. I’ll pick up the moon too.
Really?
I’m interested in things like moon rocks.
Are you asking for that?
I know it’s a national treasure.
“Then please pick up the real moon. Moon rock.”
-I’ll bring it to Yuk’s room, check it out later.
“No, I’m just kidding.”
-I’m not kidding, am I?
For some reason, her voice seemed half joking and half sincere.
I felt excited.
“What’s up? You look pretty good.”
– Yes? Did the dean ever call or do anything?
“Well? I don’t think I’ve seen the dean since admission.”
I think I heard something break through the receiver.
It must be an illusion.
-First of all, just pack your luggage.
“Why? What happened?”
-I think I need to inform Miss Lillie, so I’ll hang up. See you later.”
“Oh, wait…”
Tap…
Ah, I was going to ask you to act cute as a gift.
It’s gone.
But what do you mean by packing your luggage?
Let’s just take a deep breath.
Today’s swordsmanship training was so hard that I’m tired…
***
“It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.”
I used to shout the lines I wanted to try at least once
When I woke up leaning against the bed, I could see the huge room at a glance.
Dorm rooms are never this large.
And the really expensive looking furniture and not the cheap office computers used in the dormitory.
From gaming computers tuned here and there…
And in front of the door is a large luggage bag brought from the home.
Earlier, Alice told me to take care of it, but I fell asleep.
But I must have pushed it in until it was about to explode.
It looked as if someone had cleaned it up and brought it back.
Who is it?
There is a feeling of popularity from earlier.
The popularity felt in the blind area that was not visible because it was in the middle
For some reason, I felt friendly.
“Good night?”
And even a friendly voice
It’s only been a week since I haven’t heard of it
It was the voice of the person who was so sorry recently that he was about to cry.
“Lala. Long time no see.”
“Has Yuk been well?”
When I think about the last week, I didn’t get along well
It was hard to come up with just one word, “How are you?”
Lara already knew everything, so it was hard for no reason
I decided not to say that I had a good time.
I open my arms with a bitter smile
Lara gave me a little hug.
I wonder if you missed the smell of Lara’s shampoo and body that you haven’t smelled in a long time?
It felt more cozy.
“But why is Lara here? Where is she in the first place?”
A question I’ve heard before
It looks like Alice brought it, Lara is there and everything is fine.
The most curious thing is where is this place?
“This is where I was born and raised.”
“Where Lara was born…?”
“Yes, actually, Yuk-sama already knows, doesn’t it?”
Are you referring to Lara’s identity?
Or is it about this place?
I had asked her directly before, impatient with her mother’s doubts and curiosity.
Lala’s true identity.
A black-haired commoner elf who is more dignified and dignified than noble ladies.
To be honest, it makes no sense.
At first, I simply thought, ‘Where would I be the daughter of an aristocratic family’?
Education was given instead, which was easily seen in medieval aristocratic culture.
But as her mother treats her badly, the only thing she cares about is Lara.
The other maids really treated me like servants, but it was a little different with Lara.
And the last clue is the day she first met Alice.
In the hallway from her mother’s office to her room
Lara stood with her hands clenched.
Then Lara, who was called by her mother, did not come out for a while.
She even had the idea to eavesdrop on it secretly, but when she saw that expression, she gave up because she felt like she was doing something bad for some reason.
“That’s what I think, right?”
“Maybe it’s right? Yuk-sama is smart.
You must have guessed right.”
“Haa… I must say I felt cheated for quite some time.”
“I’m sure you’ll understand why I couldn’t tell you.”
“Of course.”
“Thank you.”
Then they hugged again.
I seem to be hugging women too much these days.
