I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

243 – Sephilia (2)

“It’s an arranged marriage with the Fix family…. “It’s not that I didn’t consider it.”

The princess’s state reception room.

After hearing Ed’s proposal for an arranged marriage, the princess stroked her chin and nodded.

In the end, the most powerful means to strengthen the imperial authority is to have noble families with abundant future growth engines as members of the imperial family.

This is because he thought of Count Fix as his spouse solely for political interests.

Abama also must have kept Edgar Fix close by considering the pros and cons.

“One, I don’t understand your intention. Gyeong’s power is already strong, so there is no need for a marriage alliance. Above all, according to rumors, I heard that Kyung only pursues a love marriage.”

However, arranged marriages are promoted when mutual interests are aligned.

Edgar Fix can exert great influence without having to rely on the imperial family.

If most of the women he is dating are descendants of the Grand Duke’s family, then the political foundation has already been laid.

Isn’t it advantageous for Edgar Fix to choose one of the children of the grand duke he loves as his confidant, rather than having to accept someone he doesn’t love as his confidant?

“····And it’s not like he came to me because he was afraid of the royal family.”

Also, Ed did not have to worry about retaliation from the imperial family.

Usually, when a noble family powerful enough to oppose the imperial family appears, it is an old Orserk tradition to frame them and kill them all or absorb them into the imperial family through marriage.

Edgar Fix was the only one that did not apply.

He has already grown too big to kill him.

More than anything, there was no time for power struggles as humanity was about to be destroyed.

The imperial family will be able to survive only if Edgar Fix, who brings hope to this world, is saved.

·····More than anything, the power of the magical eye did not work on Edgar Fix.

“······Or did His Majesty persuade you? From what I heard, she became quite a close friend of His Majesty. “Did Her Majesty tell you to make a marriage alliance with her maiden for the sake of her political stability?”

The princess came to only one conclusion.

Abama convinced Edgar Fix.

Otherwise, there is no need for a marriage alliance with Edgar Fix.

More than anything, there is no way Edgar Fix, who does not have any feelings for him, would be the first to propose a marriage alliance.

“No, this is purely my will.”

But Ed said something unexpected.

He answered that it was his will with a look in his eyes that was not at all false.

The princess, filled with curiosity, looked at Ed with her interested eyes.

When the princess asked why she wanted a marriage alliance, Ed answered:

“Because Her Highness’s abilities are needed.”

“····My abilities?”

“Yes. “It is the ability of the magical eye to look into human thoughts and desires.”

“······.”

The princess was lost in her thoughts for a moment.

She also had a meaningless expectation that maybe he would see her as the opposite s*x.

As expected, Edgar Fix wanted himself as a tool.

She admits that it scratches her pride as a woman, but she prefers to be honest about her intentions rather than try to hide them and disguise them with her glossy words. I also liked it.

“···Then I’m curious. “If you need the power of the Mystic Eyes to the point of marrying me, who are you using it on?”

Because of this, one question remains for the princess.

If you want your own magical eye, who should you use it for and how should you use it?

Ed answered.

“I will use it on my person.”

“······? What?”

“To be precise, managers or people in charge who sit in high positions in my power. “I want to use it to manage them.”

Ed began to explain why the princess was needed.

It was quite a long-winded explanation, but the conclusion was that she needed someone to strongly control the Fix family in her absence, and the right person for that was the princess who became her first wife.

“······I don’t understand. “What is the Fix family without you?”

“···There is a mission that must be accomplished over several years. Because of that, I have to leave my seat.”

However, Ed gave an appropriate reason for his absence.

She must not reveal to anyone except Eve or the Emperor that she will be sealed by the Duke of Hell.

“······So the conclusion is, keep the Fix forces together while you are away?”

“···Yes.”

After listening to Ed’s entire explanation, the princess nodded her head.

Assuming there was no Edgar fix, she could have kept her system stable if she took over power as his crony wife.

Above all, the children of the grand duke who take her in as concubines will not have to fight over the position of first wife.

‘You used your brain quite a bit. ‘She will thoroughly use her real wife as her tool.’

But as expected, Ed had no selfish interest in this marriage.

It is only used as a tool to maintain the system.

“······Then, what can the main woman gain from this marriage? “I think she would have the answer to that as well.”

So, the princess asked the question that needed to be asked.

If she becomes his tool, she should receive a befitting reward from there.

“····I will give you the world, the world itself.”

“······.”

And Ed gave an unexpected answer this time.

Will you give yourself the world itself?

I didn’t understand whether it meant the literal world or whether it was a metaphorical expression.

Since I couldn’t read his mind with my magical eyes, everything he said seemed like a riddle.

‘It’s fun.’

But because I couldn’t read, my heart was pounding.

Everything in this world was so boring, like a collection of short stories whose ending you know.

Neither Elena nor Edgar Fix knew the inside, so he always entertained himself.

Eventually, the princess, who wondered what the ‘world’ Ed was talking about, gave her own answer to Ed.

“Is the world that the Lord speaks of the future of the Fix family? “The advanced world you lead?”

“······No. “I will give you a world other than this one.”

“·····?”

The princess’s eyes widened.

So what Edgar Fix means is that he will give you another world?

“Gyeong really embarrasses her real wife. It’s not a metaphor or metaphor, but you’re giving me a different world? “Is this really a different world?”

“Yes. “It’s another world.”

“······Ha?”

“If I were to explain it in an easy-to-understand way, could we say it is the hometown of the Celestials?”

“Hometown of the Celestial People?”

“Yes. The first emperor of the great Orserk Empire, the first head of the Grand Duchy, and even my distant past life. All of them are from another world. “It is in this other world that I want to give it to the princess.”

“······.”

Excited. Excited. Excited. Excited.

The princess’s heart began to pound.

This was the first time I felt such excitement since I was 7 years old.

The feeling she had when she first encountered Elena, as if her own magical eyes did not work at all.

That embarrassment and joy once again excited the princess.

“In that world, Her Royal Highness’s magical eyes do not work. It’s a world without mana to begin with. Instead, Her Royal Highness can finally become ordinary. “Everything will be curious, everything will be new, and everything will feel real.”

····The princess’s shoulders began to tremble with excitement.

Ed’s proposal to give her ‘a world that feels real’ is actually her long-standing wish.

“A world where the magical eye doesn’t communicate?”

“Yes. It is a world without mana and magic. Instead, technology is much more advanced. “It’s like a territory I’ve built.”

“···Then, do all your technological capabilities belong to that world?”

“Yes. Of course, there are many technologies that were independently developed by combining them with technologies from this world, but most of the ideas were taken from that world.”

“····Tell me more about that world! “What kind of things are there in that world?”

“Umm… A representative technology is the ‘smartphone.’ “Almost all the functions are packed into a small square machine.”

“Hoo…What are the typical functions?”

“···I mainly used it to watch videos.”

“Video?”

“So, I can watch the works shown in my theater through that machine. “Lie down comfortably at home.”

“····Hoo. “There’s a video transmission magic ball inside.”

“You can think of it like that. Would you like to take a look? “The culture of another world.”

Ed said that and took out the device he had prepared in advance.

It was not a smartphone, but it was a device that could play videos.

And the device was full of YouTube videos that the princess would like.

Through Eve’s ‘Memory Search’ function, Ed recreated the You Tube video she saw in her own world.

“I will come closer to the Okche for a moment.”

So Ed asked for the princess’s understanding and approached her side.

Then he placed her device in front of her and started playing her video.

The princess immediately showed interest in the new culture.

As the video was entirely extracted from Ed’s memories, even her magical eyes could not figure out what the video was about.

“Umm… It’s rude. “Eating is quite a blessing, but why am I watching you eat so much food?”

However, mukbang was not the princess’s style.

Ed immediately moved on to the next video.

“That’s interesting. So, it’s like a competition between chefs over the food in that freezer.”

However, it seemed like it was fun to ask for a relatively easy-to-understand freezer.

No, it wasn’t just fun, it was a very excited expression.

“····Hmm. That person seems unique even to me, who is unfamiliar with the culture of this world. “It’s also unusual to have the number 84 in her name.”

In addition, Ed showed several videos.

I live alone.

You bastard like gold.

Running Man.

Tight tube.

Etc. Etc. Were shown as a taste of popular videos.

However, the princess, who knew nothing about this world, liked intuitive videos.

So, Ed narrowed down videos that would interest her even if she didn’t know much about modern culture.

Meanwhile, she accidentally played an idol music video.

“Ah…?”

The princess’s face turned red.

When she sees the cute and adorable dance moves of a popular girl group, she falls in love without even realizing it.

“Wow, that kid… He’s really cute… The movements and facial expressions are full of liveliness…”

“···Would you like to see more videos of that child?”

“·····Keuhum. “Let me look at it a little more.”

Ed showed the visual center video of a girl group that the princess liked.

The princess’s face turned bright red and she began to laugh sinisterly.

-Tak.

But then, Ed turned off the device.

The princess looked at Ed with a look of ‘What are you doing now?’

Ed said as he put the device into his inventory.

“If you accept my offer, I will let you go to this world. Of course, for that time to come, we must first resolve the crisis facing the world, so until then, we will have dinner with Her Majesty the Princess every evening and spend time exploring the culture of this world. How is it?”

“······.”

The princess looked at Ed.

I had dinner with Ed, whom I had a crush on, and explored the culture of another world…

It wasn’t a bad offer.

Although it was unpleasant to be used as a tool of the Fix family in return, marrying into the Fix family was ultimately the right answer to stabilize her system and promote the interests of the imperial family.

“Hmm, at 6 o’clock tomorrow evening, I will find her real wife with her device.”

And so Ed and the princess’ regular date began.
