{Minst Academy, and Reunion}
* * *
I saw William screaming and running away.
“Huh?”
Dean Albert looked at William’s sudden change as if he did not understand.
Knowing how much of an idiot and personality breaker William is, he thought that William’s behavior, which was corrupt while he was the chosen one, would cause a big conflict.
Worrying about the aftermath, he was in trouble, and he couldn’t believe his eyes and ears when William suddenly turned around and screamed and ran away.
“Prince Theodore? What’s wrong with that person all of a sudden?”
Yuria was also looking at him with an absurd expression.
William’s conduct and the insults he had inflicted on him made him shudder.
While trying to molest her, YuRia, who was prepared to pull out her sword at him who treated her like a cheap prostitute for one night, had Theodore not stepped forward, she would have really stabbed herself.
However, she suddenly tried to show off her power toward Theodore, but William, who suddenly turned around and ran away screaming, was so ridiculous.
“I realized my subject was nothing more than a filth that stinks and annoys those around me just by dumping it on the street. The fact that such a filth dares to oppose me, shining brightly even among the clouds, only raises my fear. “
Theodore spoke in an arrogant manner as always, but Yuria sensed that he was speaking in a twisted manner to hide the truth.
But she decided not to interrogate.
“Is that so?”
She had something to say before that.
“And thank you just now, Prince Theodore.”
It was to thank him for protecting him from William.
“I’m just keeping my promise. I promised to protect you here. I will continue to do so.”
Theodore said casually.
‘What kind of relationship is this?’
Yuria could predict that Theodore and William had some important relationship.
Theodore, the successor of the Duke of Skyroad, and William, the heir of the Duke of Artin, were normal when they had no contact in that their respective countries belonged to the Arkan Empire and the Britannia Empire.
“I apologize for this. Princess Skyroad and Princess Arsane. As the president of Minst Academy, I apologize for the rudeness of our student…”
Suddenly, Dean Albert, who had been humiliated by the nation, sighed and made an official apology to the two children of foreign aristocrats, not as a student, but as the head of the Britannian Empire’s Minst Academy.
William’s atrocities, with his reputation as the Chosen One, really crossed the line, and yet he didn’t seem to be aware of his faults at all.
“Such disrespect to Princess Ar Sein… I really feel ashamed. We sincerely apologize to the victim, Princess Ar Sein… We also apologize for the disrespect towards her fiancée, Princess Sky Road.”
Dean Albert was offering an apology while considering diplomacy.
As the dean’s attitude toward the students, the aftermath could have spread even more, so he apologized first, treating them as children of aristocratic families in other countries, not as students.
And he thought that the reason Theodore was angry with her was her fiancée, Yuria, and her rudeness and insults toward her.
However, Yuria thought differently about the reason why the relaxed smile disappeared from Theodore’s expression and the terrifyingly cold air lingered.
His anger was never caused by disrespect towards himself.
‘Come to think of it, I heard that the people from the Duke of Artin are twins.’
It was such a famous event that even Yuria, who was not very interested in rumors, could hear it.
The whole world was paying attention to the existence of the chosen one who would save the world from the end, nothing else, and there were two people who met the condition, but the fact that one went missing due to the Duke of Artin’s indifference is the reason for the loss of the Duke of Artin. It had taken a toll on his reputation.
‘No way?’
William and Theodore’s appearance was too similar to be called men.
There was a difference between black hair and blonde hair color, but the color of the hair was a matter of dyeing it using magic or medicine.
However, it was a strange story that someone from the Duke of Artin took the place of the successor of the Duke of Skyroad as an adopted son.
That’s why I also thought that it might not be possible.
‘If you want to know the answer, you’ll have to ask yourself.’
But I couldn’t ask for it.
If true, it must have been a very painful memory for Theodore.
For the sake of her own curiosity, Yuria did not want to dig into the painful memories of others.
‘Let’s bury it.’
That’s why Yuria decided to bury her curiosity.
If Theodore told the story directly, I would know, and if not, I would not know.
That was the only story.
“I heard the principal’s apology. It seems that this is a matter for Princess Yuria and the Arsene duchy to decide.”
“…I understand.”
At Theodore’s words, I saw Dean Albert nodding his head with a dark expression.
I heard Dean Albert’s apology, but as Theodore said, this was a matter for Yuria herself and her family, the Duke of Arsene, to decide.
‘I’m worried that my mother will go into trouble.’
Her mother, the Duchess of Arsane, who had opposed her studying abroad even before that, was very angry, and she was worried that she would be upset, but Yuria did not intend to stop studying abroad.
Giving up on her study abroad with only this amount of work seemed like running away.
She, of course, as a woman, it was upsetting and humiliating for her to be treated and insulted like this.
However, as she recalled her vow to herself that she would grow up to become a renowned swordsman on the continent, Yuria remembered what to prioritize.
“First, guide me to the room. I’ll tell this story separately to the family.”

‘This is ridiculous!’
William thought he was having a terrible nightmare.
‘Brother… Theodore, he was alive? And what is that power?’
The power to speed and slow the world’s time. I couldn’t believe that such a terrifying force existed in this world.
It was a terrifying level of power that was incomparable to the power of telekinesis he possessed.
At the age of two, he couldn’t even remember properly. After he awakened to the power of telekinesis, the world admired his power.
Surprised by his power that he could generate this kind of power with just his will, without any other factors, the world admired him as a special power worthy of the chosen one.
Rather, this power, which only consumes mental power, played a big role in instilling in William a sense of privilege that he was the chosen one to save the world.
‘Damn it! Shit!’
However, the only things that now fill his heart, which had always been proud of his own strength, were misery, inferiority complex, anger, fear, and confusion.
The power shown by his long-lost twin brother, who makes the world’s time flow slowly by 1/1000, and frees only himself and those he chooses from its influence, is incomparable to anything other than telekinetic power. It was at a formidable level.
‘That bastard is the chosen one?’
Now that I saw that power, I kept thinking that I had no choice but to admit it even if I didn’t want to admit it.
William also knew that there were people who speculated that the true chosen one might not be William, but Theodore, comparing himself to his twin brother, Theodore, who disappeared in the world.
However, with pride in his special power called telekinesis, he had no doubt that he would be the one chosen by the prophecy, so he used to laugh at those who spread such nonsense (?).
But now I couldn’t laugh at them anymore.
‘No. Something’s wrong. He has no way he’s chosen!’
William knew that the fame and privilege he enjoyed was only possible because he was the
So what if he is no longer the chosen one himself?
He would no longer be able to enjoy the same privileges as he does now.
He might no longer be able to maintain the position of successor to the Duke of Artin.
“No. No.”
William was shaking his head from side to side like a madman.
I’m sorry.
That shouldn’t have happened.
“I am the Chosen One…I am the Chosen One…”
William made up his mind in this chaos.
‘He didn’t seem to want to talk about it himself.’
Then he wouldn’t reveal himself either.
It was enough for him to be the chosen one.
No, he had to be the only chosen one.
‘Theodore, I’ll make you regret reappearing. I’ll make it look miserable again and make it disappear.’
In order for it not to be known that he is the Chosen One, he had to somehow ruin Theodore.
Blinded by his greed and fear, William began to harbor an unending hostility and hatred towards his twin brother.
‘Yuria Arsane, that girl is mine too. The seat of the chosen one is also mine. Nothing is yours.’
The twisted love of Duke Artin turned a young man into a monster.
