Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

59 – Part 2 Episode 15

“So, you’ve been living here since that day?”

“Yes!

“Wasn’t it uncomfortable?”

“Uh… actually… “

“I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all!”

“What? Hey Lea! Even if you were yesterday… “

“….”

“No, there’s nothing to stare at like that… “

“Leah, you can be honest.”

“No! Really no problem.”

“Don’t lie. Honestly.”

“… Actually, it’s a bit narrow… “

“Only narrow?”

“It was a bit old… “

Actually, the dormitory where the cadets were staying didn’t look very good.

It’s narrow compared to the number of people that came out, and it looks a bit old.

Well, that’s what officials do.

“Did you really need to be here? That, as well as Bell and Leah.”

“Ah… that is. Actually, it’s not difficult to find another place, but he told me to stay here until the academy is built again… “

“Ah.”

From my point of view, the official who gave the cadets accommodations probably didn’t necessarily want them to stay there.

It must have been with the feeling that if you have nowhere else to go, just write it here.

I could have seen it as my own consideration.

But that would have sounded a bit different from the cadets’ point of view.

Wouldn’t there be a disadvantage later if you get out of here by any chance?

You must have been staying in an uncomfortable accommodation while worrying about that.

There were many who were not, but some of the students seemed to be quite wealthy, but they seemed to be the sons of merchants because they were worried about such trivial things.

Come to think of it, none of the cadets seem to be nobles.

“Come to think of it, what about the other kids? Like Moldy.”

Rael asked the other cadets if they had the same question.

“Ah… Moldy went to his hometown. Same with Bran and so with Kon.”

Of course, these were names I didn’t know.

In fact, even if I told you the family name, not the name, you might not have known it.

Of the descendants of the family I know, very few have attended the disappeared academy, and those few have all died.

But Rael seemed to know those names as well.

“Yes. So why don’t you keep in touch with them?”

“Oh, that’s not it. Well, they quite often invite us to banquets or something.”

Hmm?

That’s Rael, but the other nobles?

Inviting commoners to a banquet?

Really?

“Uh… ? That, you guys were so close… ?”

Rael was also flustered.

“Ah.”

The cadet named Bell, who spat out the words, covered his mouth as if he had made a mistake.

The cadets around them also changed their expressions as if they were embarrassed, and the cadet named Lua glared at the bell.

“… What.”

“Yeah, actually, we’ve gotten pretty close lately. Yes. We became friendly.”

That cadet, Leah, couldn’t stand a lie.

“Leah.”

“Princess… that is… “

As the cadets were trying to change the topic somehow, someone came to the place where the cadets were gathered.

From his appearance, he seemed to be a servant of a noble family.

“Cadets. Prince Moldi has invited you.”

——————————————————————————-

“Young master Moldy. Can I look forward to it today?”

“Of course! Garter Young master. Today, we prepared a special swordsmanship sparring.”

“Swordsmanship sparring?”

“Yes, Prince Garter. I’m sure Prince Garter will be satisfied!”

“Could I join in? I’m curious about the swordsmanship of the cadets, who are said to have been trained by imperial knights.”

“Of course! Young master Fran.”

Moldy. Moldy Piet was actually not that promising.

The Piet family itself was fairly old,

Although he was the eldest son, his talent and personality were lacking, so his successor position was threatened by his younger brother.

Going to the academy felt like a last-ditch effort.

Because he needed something to somehow get his brother out of the way.

Even at the academy, Moldy wasn’t a great cadet.

Among the cadets, the family belonged to the good side, but the princess.

Since the arrival of the princess, that has ceased to mean anything.

Even if her mother’s family was massacred and she was disgraced, the princess was still a princess.

I couldn’t mention Piet’s name in front of Arhan’s lineage.

By the way, how about now?

Heaven helped.

Even though many of the cadets died in the raid, Moldy sincerely thought so.

After the academy disaster, the cadets are still staying in the system.

And the situation where no one is paying attention to them.

When the emperor convened an imperial meeting and declared the unification of the continent, no one paid attention to the survivors, except for the academy disaster, and most of the survivors were commoners.

‘If you don’t aim for this opportunity, you’re an idiot in the world.’

Of course, the princess who protected the commoners did not stay with them.

The official who provided accommodation for commoner cadets did not seem to be very interested in them, and the very few surviving aristocratic cadets had no interest in commoners at all.

Because they are stupid.

Moldy thought so.

When he told the aristocratic cadets about his far-reaching plan, they got scared and withdrew his feet.

So how did it go?

Look.

In this way, he had connections with Fran’s Jigger family and Garter’s Trevor family.

Both are influential families in the system, and families closely related to the Duke of Triel.

If the two families support him, his younger brother will never take over the position of head of the household.

“It’s almost time to come… ah! He’s coming over there.”

From afar, I saw the Piet family butler leading his students.

——————————————————————————-

“Bell! Did you come Other friends also came. Welcome. Come sit down.”

Moldy Piet said with a fake smile on his face.

“Thank you for inviting me, Prince Moldi… “

Invitation.

Can I call this an invitation?

In fact, before Rael entered the academy, Moldy Piet was the one who most blatantly ignored and harassed the commoners.

It was famous that one of the cadets who defeated Moldy Piet in a match between cadets was attacked and almost crippled when he was out.

“Thank you! What does that mean between us!”

If he invites commoner students, would that be a favor?

That can’t be.

In fact, when she was first invited to the banquet, Bell politely declined.

The very next day, Bell’s father’s guild was seized and searched, and five customers were cut off.

Other cadets said they encountered the Piet family knights five times that day alone.

An invitation came once again, and this time I had no choice but to accept it.

‘Welcome.’

When they first responded to the invitation, the cadets were taken aback by the unexpected situation.

I even planned to escape by force in the worst case, but I returned with only a polite treatment.

Moldy’s brother glared at him like he was going to kill him, but other than that, it didn’t matter.

And ever since.

Invitations came flying every day.

Even the cadets, who wondered if Moldy had reformed, couldn’t help but feel strange at that point.

At first, only the cadets, including Moldy, attended the banquet, but the number gradually increased.

The owner of the grand corps, the heirs of other noble families. Sometimes even the head of household.

In front of them, Moldy talked with the cadets.

It is mainly about how much His Majesty the Emperor was interested in the academy and how much support he gave to the cadets.

Of course, the story about the princess was not left out.

In reality, Subject, who had never even spoken a few times before, talked about himself as if he were the princess’ limb, but it was impossible for commoner students to say it was a lie.

After the sixth invitation, Moldy gave the cadets a ‘little consideration.’

It is a pity that the cadets who came to the academy to learn by the grace of the emperor can no longer learn because of the raid.

So, I will give you that opportunity instead.

A family knight, wizard. Scholar.

The Piet family’s manpower was poured into it, and they often held brief classes at banquets.

The difference from the academy was that the nobles and top members of the grand corps stood as spectators.

‘Ohh… !’

‘A cadet at the academy Your Majesty built. Everyone is great.’

‘To think they created a place like this out of pity that they can no longer learn. Young master Moldy’s heart is very deep.’

Among the nobility of the system, Moldy was known as the leader of the academy survivors.

Someone pointed a finger at the Piet family for trying to enlist the cadets at the academy, but

‘I’m just giving them a chance to learn!’

Learning opportunity.

From noble mtl dot com

It was like magic.

Because it was the words the emperor uttered when he built the academy.

The moment they refuted that statement, it could be seen as opposing the will of the emperor, and the nobles who had the courage and ability to do so had no interest in what the Piet family was doing.

Of course, that was exactly what Moldy was aiming for.

It was good to become an enlisted soldier, or even just to be recognized as one community with these cadets.

In the midst of increasing his connections with the academy cadets, he finally reached people who could be called big players.

The Zieger family and the Trevor family.

The families that have served the Duke of Triel for generations, and their influence is counted among the top 10 in the system.

If you join those two families.

No, we’re not just together.

Even in Moldi’s own eyes, the academy cadets were very talented.

In the future, if they grow up and are in the eyes of the emperor, the status of the Piet family will rise significantly.

Neither he nor the cadets liked each other, and there was nothing wrong with knowing that.

If most of the nobles consider us to be closely related, that’s how it is.

When that time comes, it would not be a dream to overcome these two families and form a direct relationship with the Duke of Triel.

As the cadets slowly approached and the two Young master staring at them, Moldy Piet thought so.
