A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

Chapter 141

141 – Be on My Side (2)

Dinner.

Astasia received a visit from Room 305, Scarlett.

“What happened, all of a sudden?”

A cold attitude that makes you feel cold.

Scarlett drooled at Astasia’s sharp attitude, as if she was interrupting a good time, but she soon corrected her attitude and looked calmly ahead.

“The Chairman of Gray Gibraltar approached me.”

“…What?”

Astasia frowned.

“I’ve never heard that before?”

“They called me through the scholarship committee and said they were appointing me as an outstanding volunteer scholarship recipient.”

“…”

“And he gave me this offer.”

Scarlett straightened her posture and bent her back.

“You asked me to spread a smokescreen regarding your personal time with Her Highness Astasia.”

“Smoke…?”

“Yes. For example, when I go somewhere with Your Majesty. Although it will be officially known that it will be just you and me there…”

“Actually, the chairman and I are separate?”

“Yes.”

“…Hmm.”

Astasia let go of her guard and tension a little and took a relaxed stance.

“Again.”

“You gave me this in return for the deal.”

Scarlett took out a photo her her her from her her arms her her her.

“Crimson Photo of the Margrave of Gibraltar. This photo was probably taken directly with a camera secured by the Earl of Gibraltar.”

“Hmm… “

“The image quality is overwhelming compared to the pictorials distributed through dark channels behind the scenes of the Empire. It has to be that way…”

“In the first place, a pictorial is just a voyeur taken from afar.”

“Yes.”

The subject in the photo filled the photo.

This means that the photo was taken from that close, and at the same time, there was no restraint from the person taking the photo.

“A photo taken directly by Gray Gibraltar. It came to me. If I report this, I will die.”

“…”

“But it is something I cannot help but report. Drinking a teacup. Looking at the sunlight shining through the window, it can be inferred that it is around 3 p.M., So what is there to drink while looking outside while holding a teacup like this? Probably someone training at the training center. It is highly likely that it is a ‘day job’ that is looking down on the drivers.”

“I wish we could postpone the complicated and headache-inducing story until later…”

“I understand.”

When Astacia waved her hand, Scarlett immediately shut her mouth.

“Granddaughter Hwang.”

“Yes.”

“I promise to keep silent in accordance with the deal, no matter what Granddaughter Hwang does with the ‘target’. Even if it violates imperial law.”

“What?”

“This is a kingdom, and it would be wrong to impose imperial laws as is. If you come to Nostrum, wouldn’t it be natural to follow Nostrum’s laws?”

“Well, that’s…! You really…?”

“In Nostrum, it is said that everyone gets married and has children at the age of 16.”

“That’s a very old story!! Who says that’s really true?”

Astasia blushed and screamed.

“Are you telling me to act like that with the chairman?”

“You may not know this since you are in the imperial palace, but our shadows have also learned the ‘honey trap’.”

“!!”

“The method of using human nature and instinct to catch the target off guard and then seducing him with his body is a method of appeasement that boasts history and tradition … Or, assassination.”

“You… “

“Of course, Chairman Gray Gibraltar did not physically demand me.”

“…”

At Scarlett’s words, Astasia’s stiff expression softened slightly.

“So, rest easy and do your best to seduce Gray Gibraltar. I will help you. In return.”

“Instead…?”

“If that happens, there is a high possibility that I will have many difficulties in contacting the target I need to aim for. Therefore, for the mission given to me, I ask that you give me a higher-level mission.”

From noble mtl dot come

“…Okay.”

Astasia swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth.

“No matter what I do against Gray Gibraltar… Whether I invite him into my room or force him into my bedroom, you see nothing and you hear nothing. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

“If you break it… I won’t let you go. Okay, go.”

“Excuse me.”

Scarlett bent her waist 90 degrees and left her room.

Crash.

As soon as the front door closed automatically, the lock was immediately engaged.

“Ha.”

“Isn’t it good?”

Master bedroom, Astasia’s bedroom.

“Now we can legally be together anywhere.”

Gray Gibraltar came out of the bedroom with a grin, holding a long glass bottle in one hand.

* * *

There are listening ears everywhere.

If Scarlett had had a different mindset and told me a different story than the deal I had made, she wouldn’t have let me go, but fortunately, she decided to join hands with the person closest to power in this academy.

“From now on, I will have to travel around with Scarlett with me. In addition, I should think about distributing necessary items through Scarlett.”

“Scarlett, do you think I can trust you? I’m honestly…”

“Honestly, I don’t believe it either.”

Is the shadow loyal to the granddaughter or the foundation chairman?

Nonsense.

“Scarlett, what she considers most important is her mission. So didn’t she ask Granddaughter Hwang to give her a new higher order?”

“I don’t really have that kind of authority.”

“It’s important that you gave her verbal permission to her. She’s probably writing a report in her her room her her her right now. The situation is like this, so I want her to redirect her her duties “Her her her.”

“The imperial granddaughter’s counselor?”

“Yes.”

No matter how irrational the Imperial Shadow Units may be in their actions, they are fundamentally rational.

“The crown prince will be the final decision-maker in managing the shadow and international students sent to the empire.”

“…”

“Comparisons will inevitably be made. Will Scarlet be focused on her own goals, or will she be used as an auxiliary person to create a clearer and more certain connection between Gray and Astasia?”

“What do you think you would do?”

“Of course it’s this way.”

I sat next to the sofa where Astasia sat.

“It’s okay for all 9 to fail. If we can use Astasia to tempt Gray Gibraltar.”

“…”

“That’s what you think, so you just have to adjust to that. Scarlett, it’s convenient for the granddaughter, right?”

“It might be comfortable, but…”

Astasia puffed out her cheeks with a sullen expression on her face.

“What is it?”

“Hmph.”

“If you don’t tell me, you won’t know?”

“I don’t want other people coming into the space where you and I are together.”

Astasia answered honestly.

“And the fact that you are perceived as someone who sold your father to have a relationship like this.”

“…”

“Scarlett, obviously-“

“I will never pass up the photo.”

I pulled Astasia’s shoulder and patted her her shoulder her

“One thing is, I also have a spy network that the other party doesn’t know about.”

“Spy network…?”

“This is a story about commerce, and records of buying and selling goods are also information.”

“If you don’t tell me right away, you won’t know.”

“Chairman Erwin.”

Astasia tilted her head.

“Why did he suddenly…?”

“It’s my father’s illegal photo book that was distributed throughout the empire. Who bought and sold it, and all the cash flow is kept by Iperia Industries.”

“…”

“And one of them, I have a record of someone buying it for a higher price.”

If it’s obvious, it’s natural.

“You don’t think I sold my father’s photo for that pitiful penny, do you?”

“No way. Other people may not know, but I don’t think so.”

“That’s it.”

Money is money, too.

“And my father feels good about it, too. No matter the intention or process, in the end, the money earned by selling his human resources goes to his children.”

“How? Chairman Erwin must be managing that money. Even in thaler.”

“Isn’t Chairman Erwin going to provide significant financial support for the granddaughter’s wedding?”

“…You.”

Chairman Erwin is holding tightly to the profits from the sale of the numerous photo albums sold in the empire, and someday he will receive it as a dowry and trousseau for Astasia’s wedding day.

“Then it’s okay because it ends up coming to me.”

“Pervert.”

“…You didn’t say anything, but are you already saying pervert?”

“You’re already thinking about getting married. It’s weird.”

“Eungkuh? …Ha.”

I pulled Astasia towards me and buried her face in my shoulder.

“Who is the really sassy one?”

“Now, wait a minute… !”

“I know what you did last morning.”

“Si, it’s noisy!”

Astasia screamed, but she didn’t push me away.

“Well, you are like that…!”

“What am I?”

“Well, I know that much, right? Men, even after puberty, try to solve their desires on their own!”

“Oh, you mean that?”

I took Astasia’s hand and placed it on my chest.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve never tried it before.”

“…Yes?”

“I left it all for you.”

“What?”

“The day when I become an adult, marry you, and have my first night with you. I am saving it again and again just for that day.”

“…”

Astasia’s face turned red in an instant.

“You can hold on until you become an adult, right?”

“Well, that is…”

“I believe that Astasia will not cross her line or do anything like that due to a momentary desire.”

“…”

“Of course, Astasia is also a human being, so if necessary, she may be able to resolve her accumulated grievances. Scarlett may be the one to resolve it.”

“Ugh, ugh…”

“But if you wish.”

I whispered softly into Astasia’s ear

“…”

“…Ah!!”

As soon as I spoke, Astasia immediately grabbed my neck and started shaking me.

“This pervert!”

“What did I say, did you say, pervert?”

“Oh, really!”

“I think it’s the most obvious solution.”

“Okay! We’ll talk about that later!”

Later.

Reception.

“More than that, is Scarlett really okay?”

“You’re trying to change the topic by bringing up a problem you’ve already identified.”

“That’s true, so please answer quickly. My future father-in-law was accidentally leaked by the shadow of the empire.”

“…”

“Why are you doing that?”

“No, just.”

Since I knew that it was said without any particular intention, I felt a little more excited.

“As I said before, I know all the information about the people who bought the photo book.”

“It means Scarlet envies the Crimson Margrave.”

“And that’s why I took out her father’s photo her her her her.”

“So… “

“Idol.”

My father’s photo album, hidden effect.

“Even if it is sometimes a shadow of the empire, wouldn’t it be good if there were appropriate elements to resolve personal complaints?”

“…Is that okay? A picture of my father?”

“No matter what you see or do, as long as you don’t get caught by the person involved.”

I pointed down.

“Even if Miss Scarlett is hanging out in bed downstairs in room 305 with a picture of her father hanging on the ceiling, we have no idea.”

Like.

“It’s as if Scarlett turns a blind eye to us secretly holding hands when we walk through the Academy together in the future.”

“…Uh.”

Astasia’s expression hardened for a moment, and she lowered her head slightly.

“Wait a minute, really, this sound…?”

“Exactly down here is room 305.”

“…Then what about our bedroom?”

“Of course.”

I lifted her off the couch, squinting at her her astasia her her her her.

“It’s the empty room you were supposed to go into.”

The same goes for the Imperial Dormitory, but there is no such thing as inter-floor noise in the dormitory.

Unless a person with master-level physical specifications deliberately listens to the vibrations from downstairs.

Time flies by at the academy, about 3 weeks.

International students from the empire easily integrated into the academy.

The students who formed the club are enjoying their youth by engaging in activities that suit the club.

The student council is centered around Naria and is moving in earnest for the next event.

A period approaching the last day of March.

“Scarlett.”

“Yes, Chairman Gray.”

Scarlett, whose skin has recently become better than before, followed me like a maid and pointed to the gift that had arrived beyond the walls of Orosol Academy.

“That’s why…”

“This is a gift from ‘him’ for Chairman Gray.”

“…So that huge ship over there is a gift?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Gift.

“No matter how you look at it, does it look like a frigate with 12 wheels on the left and right?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“That’s right.”

Before you know it.

“As a birthday present for Chairman Gray, His Highness Habsburg gave a ‘Magic Car’.”

“…It’s a boat.”
