chapter 28
Villain? Young lady – 2
For a moment, I thought that today was the weekend or that it was already club time. It’s strange, it’s definitely on time for class. Why are students here? Is it okay if the vice president runs away from class?
Marghetta tilted her head as she looked at Marghetta with her eyes of questioning and reality denial.
“Carl Youngsik. Are you going to keep the customer standing?
It’s a criticizing tone, but it couldn’t hide the laughter contained in it. Amid her exaggerated tilt of the head and tone of voice, Marghetta’s eyes were curved like crescent moons. She almost burst out laughing at the sudden visit and prank, but she’s a guest anyway.
“I don’t think so. Come on, have a seat. I’ll bring you some tea.”
“No, it’s fine. I’ll be back soon.”
“Is that so?”
That’s good news.
She nodded her head at that and sat down across from Marghetta. Fortunately, she says she’ll be back soon, so it looks like she’s just trying to say something. I don’t know why Marghetta bothered to visit me at this time, but she was going to be visited by me anyway. It’s embarrassing, but nothing bad.
Looking at Marghetta, she said nothing, still with a smile on her face. No, once you come as a guest, shouldn’t you tell the business first?
“I didn’t expect to see Marr at this hour. Is there something urgent?”
“Should I only watch it when I’m in a hurry between us?”
“It doesn’t seem like the close relationship I’ve seen in a year.”
“It’s not a normal relationship if it comes to marriage talks.”
As I shuddered at the sudden attack, Marghetta gave a small laugh, saying it was a joke. Her princess would be a stone thrown inadvertently, but a poor official might die from being hit by that stone. She wants the princess in front of her to know that.
As I let out a small sigh, I heard a choking laugh. I wasn’t this kind of person when I first saw him, but from a certain point on, he started joking around and teasing me. Since it was a prank of a princess who received a lot of love from Iron Blood Ball, she couldn’t turn away or fight back.
Marghetta will not know how I, who suffered so much, rejected the marriage proposal proposed by the iron-blooded worker. The smiling Marghetta suddenly changed and said, ‘How dare you say no!’ I was afraid that he would strangle her.
I sometimes dreamed of being sacrificed in front of the duchy by the hand of an angry iron-blooded worker. It was terrible. Fortunately, nothing has happened so far.
“Actually, I came here because I have something to ask of Carl Youngsik.”
“I will listen.”
“You know there’s a club fair coming up soon, right?”
I know. Even though it’s only a business card, I know the schedule because it’s a club advisor.
In the first place, from a few days ago, I heard Louise’s bold ambition to make and present this and that at the fair, so I couldn’t help but notice it. As she nodded, recalling Louise’s voice that still seemed to linger in her ears, Marghetta continued her words.
“The Club Fair is not just an academy event. It’s like a social gathering where nobles who have already graduated come in contact with nobles currently enrolled in the academy through clubs.”
I don’t understand.
I had no choice but to agree with Marghetta’s words as she added and shrugged her shoulders. I’ll spend decades bumping into social circles anyway, so why bother crawling up to the club? I can understand the feeling of strengthening the faction and discovering talented people early.
“That’s why the student council is having a hard time preparing for the club fair every year. We don’t have a small budget, but we don’t know if we’re doing it right.”
“You must have suffered a lot.”
“So, it would be really reassuring if Carl Young-sik helped me.”
“Yes?”
At the request of Marghetta, who speaks confidently, a bewildered voice leaked out. Want help? See me?
“You mean me?”
“Yes. Since I did it last year, it took me the longest to make sure the budget was properly distributed. I think it will be over soon with Carl Youngsik.”
“I have nothing to do with the student council.”
“But you’re the Academy Inspector, aren’t you?”
The more I listened to Marghetta’s words, the more I felt like I was running away from home. You want me to check if the budget has moved right? Are you the Academy Inspector?
“This is the first time I’ve volunteered to be inspected.”
It was an unexpected request. This is really cool. Inspection is what everyone is trying to avoid somehow, but I didn’t know that they would come first and ask for it. Even in my staring gaze, Marghetta was maintaining a smile.
“We didn’t commit any corruption, so is there anything to be afraid of? We want to see if the budget was properly moved through the eyes of an expert. Is that possible, Chief Inspector General?”
I’m sorry for Marghetta, who looks at me with her expectant eyes, but I didn’t get the position of her manager because of the ability that Marghetta wanted. Minister Nana is a case of being promoted in a very unusual way, so there is a little distance from the general Minister of Finance and Director of the Inspection Department.
Because of that, immediately after becoming the head of the inspection department, I was busy cutting through the 2nd Prince faction on the outside and the existing mainstream forces of the Ministry of Finance on the inside. When I think back to that time, it’s dark in front of my eyes.
…No, but Marghetta should know this too, right? It was so famous that the Treasury Department was a mess at the time, so if you are a member of the duke family, you hear the news even if you don’t want to hear it. You know that, but you want to help me?
My gaze seemed to contain a lot of negative emotions, and as if it was difficult to burn dry, I put the fan in his hand on my cheek and tilted his head.
“Was that an unreasonable request?”
“If my name is included in the achievements of the student council, the meaning will fade.”
“Sorry.”
The way he let out a sigh at my rejection seemed like he was about to give up. This is surprising I thought you were determined to come in person at this time. Hey, since you already did it last year, you probably don’t need help.
“Well, I can’t tell you how long it will take. I don’t know how much I’m going to put myself into this job.”
“If you’re Marr, you’ll do just fine. You did it last year, right?”
“Still, it’s a headache when we do it ourselves. During the student council, there were times when we went out for a flirtation and wandered around for a long time. If Carl Young-shik was there, we would be able to focus on our work.”
“…….”
I quietly closed my eyes at Marghetta’s frank words.
‘I’ll put this up as a trade condition.’
On the outside, they seem to be saying, “It’s hard to work. Please help me.”
It means that if she cooperates obediently, she will not visit and shoot Louise somewhere in the academy, and will quietly work in the student council room. God, what a clunky deal. Admiration comes out of nowhere.
‘That much effective.’
Anyway, Marghetta’s sniping at Louise yesterday must have been a build-up for the present. She shows herself threatening Louise and the club, and if she wants to get rid of that threat, she wants to hear her words.
It’s a trick that can be seen clearly, but if you refuse here, the sniper, which was a simple build-up, will transform into a more spectacular attack on Louise. That’s not trouble
After organizing my thoughts, I smiled lightly and opened my eyes again.
“I can’t stay still after hearing that Marr is having a hard time. If it’s okay with me, I’ll help.”
“Thank you, Carl Youngsik. I trusted you.”
“Ha ha ha.”
I started a fight with a fixed outcome from the beginning.
I said I would help, but I didn’t know that I would catch it right away. No matter how much she was a princess, since she’s a student now, wouldn’t it be right for her to go back to the classroom?
“The student council is in the student council room preparing for the fair. I came out for a while to take Carl Youngsik.”
I see. Then there is nothing you can do Sometimes there are things more important than class.
With the feeling of being a slave being sold, I followed Marghetta to the student council room. Yeah, I’d rather finish it sooner rather than later. There’s no reason to stay in the club room anyway, unless it’s club time.
Arriving at the student council room, Marghetta knocked on the door of her courtesy a few times, and before she could answer, she threw it open. If so, is there any point in knocking?
She peeked into the student council room anyway, and there were already six people gathered. The student council is seven, including Marghetta. She had no ties, so she wasn’t paying attention, but she didn’t know that she would meet them all like this. This is very awkward
“Vice chairman. Who is outside?”
The male student sitting at the top of the table, probably the president, looked at me awkwardly. What, what if the person who asked for help did that? If Marghetta, who went to pick me up, comes back, she will, of course, come with me.
“I’m Inspector Carl Krasius, who serves as an adviser to the confectionery club. I’ve brought you here to ask for advice on the budget for this fair.”
At the same time, I entered the student council room and met the eyes of the president, who was sitting in the top seat. It was only then that he saw my face, his eyes fluctuating so much that he could not control himself. Looking around, the reactions of the other five were similar.
Hey, no way.
“Mar. Wasn’t listening to my advice something the student council agreed on?”
“No.”
That’s not the case with ‘Why do I need an agreement on my decision?’ It seemed to have meaning. Oh, he was such a person. I had briefly forgotten about the My Way tendencies of the Duke of Varenti.
At Marghetta’s gaze, as if wondering why she was asking such a thing, I quietly turned my gaze toward the president of the high seat.
A pale complexion and a hardened body. From the chairman’s point of view, it must be an out of the blue. Even if it wasn’t, the vice president, who would be hard to treat as a princess, suddenly brought an inspector. You can understand it if you interpret it as ‘I don’t like you, so I brought you down to bring you down’.
But that’s a misunderstanding. Until now, I was confined to the club room because I thought my existence would be a threat to the students. He lived a secluded life, not seeing anyone except for his members. If I had known that this was Marghetta’s dogma, I wouldn’t have come so lightheartedly…
When he nodded his head apologetically, the chairman closed his eyes tightly.
What do you think? It’s not that.
I almost let out a sigh, but I managed to hold it in. If I let out a sigh in this situation, it seemed that the president would hit me in the head.
