{What William is aiming for}

Theodore and Yuria now had to go back to class as the lunch break was over.

Especially, today was the first day after studying abroad for the two of them, so they couldn’t miss it.

“I’ll go to class soon. I’ll be back a little later in the afternoon after class. What should I do?”

At Theodore’s question, Reina smiled slightly and asked in reverse.

“Then may I wait here?”

Reina wanted her to stay here instead of going back to Duke Artin.

At those words, Yuria looked at Theodore.

‘If it were my accommodation, I would say it’s okay to stay… ‘

But this was Theodore’s quarters.

The decision to stay was up to him.

“Wouldn’t it be boring?”

Luckily, Theodore didn’t refuse Reina to stay here. I was just worried that she would get bored with her alone.

Seeing that figure, Yuria felt a little relieved without even realizing it, and she looked at it with a smile.

And now it seemed that she would have to change her clothes again.

“Then I’ll change and come back.”

Yuria went back to the dorm to change out of her school uniform into casual clothes.

She could go in her school uniform, but it was always better for her to wear pants, as she could get into trouble with her outfit if she was challenged to a duel again.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Yuria immediately went back to her own dorm.

Then she changed out of her school uniform into her favorite outfit, and then she returned to Theodore’s quarters.

“These are the books I referred to when I was studying cooking. If I’m bored while waiting, I read them first.”

“Yes! Brother Theodore, I will read it carefully.”

By her looks, it seemed that while he was coming to change her clothes for a while, Theodore had handed her her cookbook.

While receiving her book from Theodore, she felt fortunate to see Reina’s visibly happy face, but felt only pity for the divergence between the two.

‘If the Duke and Duchess Artin were normal people… ‘

If that were the case, neither Theodore nor Reina would have grown up happy and not unhappy.

Although she had such thoughts, Yuria felt that such a family was rejected by the two, although she felt sorry for them.

If that happened, a lot of things would have changed, and I felt like I would be lonely in a different way to my current self.

“Then I’ll be back, Reina.”

“See you later.”

“Yes! Older brother Theodore and older sister Yuria. Have a good trip.”

After saying goodbye to Raina for a while, Theodore and Yuria came out of the dorm together.

While we were heading out to the Minst Academy classroom, Yuria asked.

“Prince Theodore, are you all right?”

“What do you mean?”

At Yuria’s question, Theodore pretended not to know.

“I mean Reina. Would it be okay to leave it as it is?”

At Yuria’s words, Theodore didn’t say anything for a moment as if thinking about something. Then, Yuria quietly waited for his answer while walking side by side, and Theodore opened her mouth soon after.

“It’s up to Reina to decide what she will do next.”

Yuria understood Theodore’s meaning.

He was trying to give Reina the choice of whether to leave the Duke of Artin or whether she would stay.

“Come to think of it, Prince Theodore. I went upstairs for a while…Did you contact the Duke of Skyroad by any chance?”

Yuria asked Theodore, remembering that she went up on top and then came down after about 5 minutes, saying that Theodore had some business to do.

She speculated that she might have contacted the Duke of Skyroad to discuss Reina’s treatment.

“Right. I talked to my father for a while.”

Hearing that she had talked with the Duke of Skyroad, Yuria carefully examined his expression and asked.

“What did you say?”

“I asked my father, Judy, and she said that having a pretty and nice little sister is a welcome thing. She also said she would like to see my mother.”

In other words, the Duke of Skyroad had no objection to accepting Reina.

But the question was whether the Duke of Artin would let Rayna go.

She also wondered if Reina would be able to shake off that touch if her biological parents held on to not letting go.

‘Either way, I hope Reina makes a choice she won’t regret.’

As she thought so, as soon as she arrived at Minst Academy’s main school, Yuria felt that her students’ eyes were focused on them.

Her gaze was completely different from the way she looked at the international students in the morning.

There was a mixture of fear, envy, and jealousy of the overwhelming power.

“Theodore Skylord and Yuria Arsein.”

“Didn’t Owen, the head of the 2nd year swordsmanship department, lose to Yuria Arsane?”

“How did you beat Owen with that slender body?”

“I guess my skills aren’t average.”

Yuria was internally satisfied that her story about herself had turned into her evaluation of her skills.

If she stayed like this and won a one-on-one duel in front of the heads of other departments and countless people watching her, she would be able to widely publicize the skills she had accumulated through her hard work.

And she will be able to get a little closer to her swordsman who makes a name for herself on the continent, her dream.

“Theodore Sky Road…”

“It’s not okay to defeat senior Jade with magic skills comparable to that of an archmage. I heard you defeated Professor Benjamin with swordsmanship… Does that skill make sense?”

“There are still rumors about it.”

“What is it?”

From the fact that there were rumors about Theodore, Yuria guessed what it was about.

It was clear that rumors about her and Theodore spread rapidly as the students gathered in the academy cafeteria, probably during lunchtime.

“William Artin, does that idiot honestly look like the real Chosen One?”

“You mean no?”

“Yes. This is speculation, but the story that William’s twin brother, Theodore Artin, ran away from home because he couldn’t stand the neglect of his family is famous? By any chance… What if he was Theodore Skylord?”

“Ah, no way~”

Among the students, there was already speculation that Theodore’s true identity might be Theodore Artin.

The hair color is different, but the face similar to that of William and the twins, and the overwhelming talent that transcends imagination to the point of being a real chosen one.

However, there was a crucial reason why they couldn’t turn that doubt into certainty.

“Heir to the Sky Road duchy? Would you pass on the family to someone who is not even a duke, but who doesn’t even mix your own blood?”

“Well…it took a while.”

The origin of Theodore, who was designated as the successor by the Sky Road duchy, was not known at all.

Even within the Arkhan Empire, there were all sorts of speculation about his identity, but most of them speculated that he was in some way related to the Duke of Skylord.

It was rumored that the Duke of Skylord loved his wife too much to put the speculation that he was his illegitimate son, so maybe he was his close niece by blood.

“You’re slowly getting more talkative.”

Theodore said calmly as if he had expected the story of himself being heard from everywhere and the name Theodore Artin.

No, this situation itself must have been what he intended.

But at the same time, the stories the students were talking about made Yuria uncomfortable.

“But if Theodore is the real Theodore, and if he is the chosen one, what will happen to our country?”

“It’s really a big deal to have the chosen ones stolen by a foreign country.”

“Oh, then the interests of the Britannian Empire will collapse. Maybe it’s good?”

“I’m worried too. Ehh.”

They didn’t care what Theodore Skylord went through in the past.

They used to benefit indirectly or feel vicarious satisfaction from the fact that the chosen ones benefited from being in their country, but they sighed at the fact that that had become impossible.

The Britannian Empire had already been benefiting in many ways by having William Artyn as the chosen one and gaining a diplomatic advantage over the Thran Empire and the Arkhan Empire.

Through their way of thinking, those who were chosen were treated as just a convenient tool for themselves, not a hope to save the world by preventing the apocalypse.

Maybe it wasn’t like that at first, but as time passed and they got used to the benefits they gained, it seemed that the way they thought of the chosen ones as mere convenient tools had settled down.

‘I think this country is really too much.’

Yuria didn’t like all of this.

Not even Theodore Skylord, but whoever is chosen… It was because he thought it was not right to be treated as a convenient tool regardless of his faults, even for a human scum like William Artin.
