Afterword: Perticia Yves Al Reuben (Part 1)
One.
After summer vacation is over.
The opening ceremony to announce the second semester has begun.
Students gathered in groups of twos and threes and headed to the auditorium, where each student submitted the research materials they had received as assignments during vacation to the research professor.
However, there was a problem.
There is only one student out of all the students who did not submit their assignments.
Actually, if you look at it up to this point, it is not a big problem.
All you have to do is give a penalty point for not submitting an assignment and be done with it. But the real problem was something else: the identity of the student.
『Perticia Eve Al Ruben』
A special student who transferred to Arsene Academy around this time last year. And he will soon become the new master of the empire.
An incident that could affect the next emperor’s achievements. He searched for a suitable solution at the academy and quickly found one.
“Do you understand up to this point?”
Arsene Academy’s student leadership department.
Professor Ethan Arnoff, who was in charge here, asked the student sitting across from him.
A young man with reddish-brown hair and a muscular upper body. It was Ulan. When he nodded slowly, Ethan spoke again.
“good. Now, let’s get to the point.”
Ethan clasped his hands and lowered his eyes. Then he got to his main point about Pertichia.
“I will count you as attending the school opening ceremony today, so go to Ruben’s Imperial Castle and pick up your assignment. “It would be nice if you could also pass this along.”
What Ethan handed over after taking out the business was a notice containing the schedule for the second semester. However, Ulan, who received this, reacted with a bit of trepidation.
“Uhm, it doesn’t matter… … .”
“Is there some problem?”
“Why are you asking me to do this?”
Ulan asks in a puzzled tone.
Ethan stared at Ulan intently and asked a question with a serious face.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“I’m asking because I don’t know.”
Ulan spoke confidently.
It is not only Ulan who is familiar with Perticia here. Ibella, Delia, and Noah were also friends with Perticia.
But why do I have to go?
What he wanted to ask was this.
Meanwhile, Ethan looked blank for a moment. Then he immediately let out a heavy sigh.
“… … “That guy must be having a hard time too.”
“What do you mean?”
“It is nothing. “Anyway, it’s hard to talk about it in detail, but if I had to say one thing, they asked you to come.”
“Perticia?”
No answer came back.
Ethan just shook his head in silence. That alone was enough of an answer.
“I understand. “Let’s go.”
If you are called, the right thing to do is to respond.
Even more so if it is a call not from a stranger, but from a comrade in arms who fought against the abyss together.
“Yes, please.”
A smile bloomed on Ethan’s stern face at the sight of Ulan willingly accepting. Ulan got up from his seat and left the student guidance office.
2.
Meanwhile, around that time.
It was still a little earlier than lunch, and three girls gathered in the student cafeteria.
Ibella, Delia, and Noah.
The three looked at the crystal ball on the table with somewhat stiff faces. And in the crystal sphere, a girl with snow-white hair was reflected.
-So that’s it, I’ll use the opportunity today.
Red eyes that shine like jewels.
It was Perticia.
She had gathered everyone and had just announced that she would be alone with Ulan.
Of course, if it were normal, there would have been immediate opposition, but this time I couldn’t say anything else. This was because the discussion had been concluded.
“Phew, I understand. “Because it’s a promise.”
Ibella sighs.
Delia and Noah also added their words.
“Anyway, it doesn’t really matter… … .”
“The time given is one day. “You know, right?”
You can only monopolize Ulan for one day.
Both Ibella and Delia followed this rule.
-Sure. I’ll be with you for just one day.
Perticia smiled at the three girls’ worried voices as if telling them not to worry. However, even though she said that, the three of them could not let go of their relief.
“Well, I’m a little uneasy.”
“that’s right. “Aren’t you trying to trick me again?”
Delia and Ibella’s eyes narrowed.
That would be natural. Until now, Perticia had been clinging to Ulan in unexpected and unusual ways and showering her with affection.
Then.
Delia’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

“I’m just saying, based on the spirit’s time, a day or something like that doesn’t work.”
She added a condition as if she remembered something she had forgotten. Then Perticia’s brightly smiling expression suddenly cracked.
-Tch.
The sound of clicking one’s tongue was also heard.
The three girls’ expressions turned grim as they saw her frowning as if her plan had gone awry.
As if I knew it would happen.
-all right. Based on human time, I will stay with you for just one day and then send you back.
Perticia eventually raised both hands.
After the dramatic negotiations, communication with Perticia was lost. After a while, the crystal ball regained its faded color and the three sighed in unison.
“Ha, I have the hardest time talking to him.”
“I agree with that much.”
“I hope nothing special happens.”
A face with a clear look of exhaustion.
As I was leaning against my chair and sighing in fatigue, I heard a welcome voice.
“Is everyone here?”
A voice as deep and resonant as a cave.
It was Ulan’s voice. The moment they recognized his appearance, the three girls’ faces turned bright red. As if asking when did he look tired?
“Ah, Ulan.”
“Come on. “Are you done?”
“Yeah, it’s over, but… … .”
“Did you do it?”
Ibella asked back as if she was puzzled.
In response, Ulan slightly lowered his head.
“I’m sorry. “I don’t think I’ll be able to keep my promise to eat together at your request.”
Originally, Ulan had planned to have lunch with the three girls today. However, since she was asked to do so by Professor Ethan, she could not do so, so she apologized.
“because… … .”
The moment I was about to explain what Professor Ethan had asked me to do, Ibella shook her head.
“Ugh, it’s okay. “I already know.”
“You know?”
“I just talked to Perticia.”
Noah pointed to the crystal ball.
Through this, Ulan showed an expression of understanding, as if he had guessed the general situation. At that time, Ibella and Delia looked at Ulan and said.
“More than that, Ulan.”
“hmm?”
“Promise us.”
“I will be back by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.”
A somewhat unexpected request came back with a serious expression. Then Ulan asked back as if what she was talking about.
“I’m planning on coming back today.”
“Okay, then it’s perfect, but… … .”
“It will probably be difficult.”
“why?”
“… … “Don’t ask me the detailed reason.”
“Anyway, if you can’t come back today, you have to come back by tomorrow. got it?”
The two once again emphasize the words “until tomorrow.”
Ulan tilted his head, but since it was not a particularly difficult request, he answered willingly.
“Okay, keep that in mind.”
“Okay, then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Take care, Ulan.”
The two girls waved their hands as if to see them off.
Noah also slightly lowered his head, and Ulan turned around. Then he left the academy and headed west.
It was to go to the capital of the empire.
3.
Imperial castle of the Leuven Empire.
This place in the northern part of the capital boasts such strict security that an ordinary person can be arrested just by loitering near the main gate.
However, Ulan was an exception.
He was one of the few people who could enter the imperial castle naturally as if he were going in and out of his own home.
“Excuse me?”
The knights lowered their heads with sad faces.
Originally, it was customary to check names and identities even when great nobles came to visit, but they naturally let Ulan in.
Because there was an order from Princess Perticia.
And not long after, a man who could be said to be as big as Ulan came out to meet him.
“It’s been a while.”
Imperial sword, Saxony Yul Orden.
A knight said to be the strongest of the six masters of the Empire and a former bodyguard of Chartrand. Now he is a strong man who calls himself Perticia’s bodyguard knight.
Ulan, who faced him, nodded briefly and revealed the business of visiting the imperial capital.
“I have come to see Perticia.”
“… … It’s a shame there’s no one to listen, so call me princess when there’s someone else around. “Because it is a matter related to the princess’s reputation.”
“I will try.”
Saxony sighed at the insincere answer.
Afterwards, he took Ulan and walked deep into the imperial castle. As the long silence continued, Saxony suddenly spoke again.
“Ulan.”
“Why are you calling me?”
“Persuade the princess.”
“persuade?”
“Recently, I heard that you have become neglectful of learning. “If this continues, the coronation ceremony will be postponed, and it is not good in the long run.”
Saxony looked concerned.
As the saying goes, Perticia had been neglecting her imperial classes recently. On bad days, she often skipped class and did not do her homework well.
Meanwhile, Ulan asked back in a puzzled tone.
“Why are you telling me that?”
“I think they will listen to what you say. “Honestly, I don’t want to admit it, but the princess seems to like you quite a bit.”
Saxony answers with a disapproving look.
Ulan shook his head.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“What do you mean?”
“That is for Perticia to decide. “It’s not up to me to say this or that.”
“Okay, that’s true too, but… … .”
Saxony, who was speechless, sighed.
Because what Ulan said was not entirely wrong.
Saxony, who was unable to resolve his concerns, looked frustrated. Then, a familiar voice came through the wind.
“Ulan!”
A cheerful and clear voice.
Along with the excitement that followed, a black shadow suddenly jumped out. Then he fell into Ulan’s arms.
Brilliant white hair and red eyes.
Ulan called her name.
“Perticia.”
“Hehe, I missed you.”
Perticia, princess of the empire.
She, also known as the next emperor, smiled brightly while being held in Ulan’s arms.
At that time, three or four maids appeared from where Perticia had appeared.
“Woe, princess! “Get off quickly!”
“What are you going to do if someone sees it?”
When they found Perticia in Ulan’s arms, they shouted with pale faces. Of course, Perticia didn’t care at all.
“Hmph, if you want to see it, let me see it. “What’s wrong with being hugged by someone you like?”
She snorted and stuck out her tongue.
As if you don’t know anything like that.
Seeing that, Saxony touched his forehead and the maids also sighed. Ulan, who was watching this, immediately revealed the purpose of finding Perticia.
“I came to receive an assignment.”
“yes? “What assignment?”
“I’m referring to the Arsene Academy vacation project I mentioned three days ago.”
A maid added an explanation.
Perticia opened her eyes wide.
“ah! “That’s pretty much it.”
“Almost everything?”
“I did everything except one. But since Ulan came, I should be able to finish the remaining one quickly.”
What does that mean?
Ulan looked puzzled, but there was no reply. Perticia jumped out of Ulan’s arms and immediately grabbed his hand.
“Then I will guide you. “Follow me!”
I have a rough idea of where I’m going.
A garden located in the northern part of Hwangseong Fortress. It is also the place where she first met Perticia in her past life.
Ulan walked as if she knew where she was going, and Perticia followed Ulan with a bright smile.
A place only allowed to Perticia.
To the northern garden full of spirits.
