I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines

49 – Collapse-1

“I’d like to throw a simple party this time. Would Lord Wade be able to attend and grace the occasion?”

Several knights gathered in the hallway looked at me and smiled warmly.

“I’m sorry. The tournament finals are scheduled soon, so it seems difficult to leave alone.”

A female knight asked me vaguely.

“But with Sir’s skills, I don’t think he would lose if he fought against anyone, right?”

Although I certainly didn’t receive a knighthood, they casually called me by the title ‘Sir’.

It may be their own courtesy. For a knight, the world was made up of knights, ladies, and the rest.

It is difficult for those who hear about my achievements and want to use them to include me in their list of ‘throwaways’. Even so, it was impossible to include me as a lady.

These were very discriminatory words and actions in that they looked down on people other than knights and ladies, but changing one’s entire way of thinking is much more difficult than making an exception to that way of thinking.

“Because the person who will be your opponent is the princess. Although she will lose, if you do not do your best, you will not be an opponent worthy of her glory.”

“You know honor. In that case, we can’t force you either.”

There was no need to fight with them. Just tell them what they will like.

“But… Sir Olivia did an amazing job this time, right?”

“Yes. We met suddenly, but you were a great help. I thought you were close friends…”

“Actually, we had a little fight recently. There was a lot of misunderstanding… So we had no choice but to break up. She was her old friend…”

I smiled bitterly inside.

Although we didn’t have much information about this community, we were able to guess the reason why Olivia stayed away from them.

This is a group of people who directly offer loyalty to the princess or show respect to the ‘knightly princess’ even if they come from another country.

After the rumor spread that Olivia had disappointed her princess, ‘this group’ would have kicked Olivia out without any reason. It was as obvious as seeing fire.

“I’ll make room for you. I’m sure Olivia is hoping to go back too.”

“Thank you!”

However, this was her problem after all. Olivia will feel indebted to me, so it won’t be difficult for her to make her kite again.

After sending the female knight away, I walked down the hallway alone again, lost in thought.

‘First of all… It was successful.’

Adults have a lot of thoughts. Nobles have so many things to consider.

There are people who thought that they did not want to insert a warlock into the place where their family’s children were sent.

As the danger of the academy becomes stronger, there are aristocrats with ambiguous skills who expect that they can make a lot of money through private lessons.

There are nobles holding the titles of knights and generals who believe that their power will flourish when war clouds roll around.

Being a warlock wasn’t much different.

There were people who thought that the daughter of the Erst family entering the imperial academy was submission and obedience.

They were hoping to escape from the tyranny of the empire right away. Rather than the superficial peace represented by the Academy, I was hoping for a fight in which people would kill each other.

‘Compared to that, students are much more pure.’

To be precise, I could not objectively observe what kind of situation I was in and what symbolism it had, like someone from the outside.

If outside of the academy they see an incident like ‘A drug addict warlock who was being bullied committed murder’, they will be able to use that as an excuse to make their own profit.

The Inquisitor will demand increased investigative authority, saying that stricter isolation and investigation of warlocks is necessary, and the warlocks will say, ‘If you enter the academy and act like a dog of the empire, you will end up like that!’ It will put anger into the hearts of wizards.

But, not the people here. For them, this is reality.

Fabian was a dark and weak-looking warlock friend whom I occasionally saw in the restaurant, and the deceased was one of the students who was taking classes with him, who was known for his poor quality.

It’s no one else’s business. What the students wanted most desperately was a solution to this problem.

At least there was hope that they could do something to solve this problem.

And I made that hope a reality.

With very clear evidence, they created an object for them to hate.

Instead of being an ‘ordinary warlock cadet right next to me’, I created an easy-to-understand enemy: a ‘horrible and disgusting secret organization that wants violence and conflict.’

They were more genuinely happy than anyone else that this problem had been solved.

‘Hmm…’

But I also did not do anything without risk.

Kazot’s plan was ruined from the front. They don’t know what information or basis I made my moves.

Even if you try to look for it, you won’t be able to find it. It would be impossible for the rest of my life to find out from what source the information before ‘possession’ came from.

I will choose the easier way. What is trying to get rid of me.

‘…’

I can’t be sure, but there were rare cold looks mixed in between the cheers and respect.

There will be Kazot members or collaborators sandwiched between students and teachers.

Since you probably haven’t figured out my strength, I won’t use a hasty move, but I will use a clear threat that I have prepared for a long time.

‘And…’

Not everyone who acts according to the intentions of the evil one has evil intentions.

The princess is more wild than anyone else. It also means that we are humans who can be easily used for the purpose of destruction.

In her tournament, you have to beat her. Since things have turned out this way, it has no choice but to happen.

‘Huh.’

There was a lot of work to be done.

“Nice to see you again, Sir Olivia.”

“…Thank you.”

It was clearly Wade who emerged as the new hero of this academy.

Despite his status as a warlock, numerous people supported him.

He was a person who could react more bitterly and powerfully than any other knight to Catherine’s evil deeds, and he was a person who could destroy the secret organization’s plans with more cunning and quick action than any other wizard.

Every time all the students gathered, they praised his achievements. And, the next one who received the most praise was Olivia.

“I was really sorry at that time. We all knew that he said those words for the princess.”

“No. I forgot everything.”

“Thank you.”

The fragrant scent of wine gently spreads throughout the banquet hall. The wine touched Catherine’s lips.

It’s sweet. But that didn’t make Katharine laugh.

Everyone praises her reputation. The news hasn’t reached the family yet, but the moment they hear this, her parents and other family members will support Olivia’s every move.

Although she lost the tournament and took Katarin’s side, compared to her accomplishments, she would have been able to cover up all the other ‘little’ things.

The fact that she had beaten up Conrad, the culprit of her incident, with her words of justice spread throughout the academy.

Some bards exaggerated her feelings, as if they knew everything, and sang in detail how she judged Conrad for the sake of revenge and justice for Fabian.

It was the life she wanted. Even though she wasn’t in bed, she felt like she was dreaming.

The princess smiled and passed her compliments to her Olivia with her wade, and her group of knights who admired the princess invited her Olivia to her party as if they had never kicked her out. Did.

Everything was running perfectly. She was recognized.

Now there was no need to engage in dangerous work or sell anything precious to maintain her position.

There was no need to use the power of darkness. Even if she doesn’t become abnormally strong, if she has this level of fame, she will be able to attach a good teacher and take decent elixirs.

Even after she graduates from the academy, she will probably be able to get into a decent knighthood. She might not be able to inherit the family line, but she didn’t expect that from the beginning.

The path ahead of her was blindingly bright.

“Wine doesn’t suit her taste?”

“No.”

But, she couldn’t bear to smile.

Because Olivia had nothing to do with all this recognition and honor.

She got all this by climbing on the board he made, grabbing Conrad who he had prepared for her, and relying only on the fact that she was ‘relative to Fabian’ in the truth he revealed.

It didn’t matter if she tried a little less. Conrad’s skills were poor.

Even if it wasn’t Olivia’s swordsmanship and armor, she didn’t care if it wasn’t her magic power. If necessary, Wade would have taken appropriate measures to ‘neutralize Conrad’s artifact’ and bring in the right avenger.

Olivia’s eyes wavered.

Now that she has achieved a glory she has never had before, she cannot help but think things she has never done before.

‘What does this mean?’
