How To Survive as a Crazy Prince

“… … I managed to find out.”

I fiddled with the tip of the hood and turned to the commoner female student. The commoner female student was happy that her prediction was correct, but trembled as if she was nervous that the crown prince was in front of her.

“Oh, today, I saw you were in class. all the way… … .”

I checked to make sure there were no other students around. Thanks to the last lecture, everyone went back excitedly, so no one was watching. Those who remained seemed busy packing their bags.

“Did you come to check that thing?”

“that… … ?”

If so, did something happen? Maybe it has something to do with Byte’s disappearance.

“Are you talking about bytes?”

That’s why I asked directly.

“yes yes! By all means, I want you to help me. If you leave it as it is, bytes will… … .”

Fortunately, my guess was correct. But the girl’s story is

“Byte might die… … !”

It could never be said to be fortunate.

“Calm down for now. Then explain step by step what is going on.”

“yes yes… … . All right… … .”

I took the girl who was about to cry at any moment to a nearby classroom (the alchemy classroom, which was temporarily closed, was empty) and closed the door. Then, he gave a handkerchief to the girl who was sobbing as if she couldn’t control her emotions.

“Write, is it okay if I write? Isn’t that expensive?”

“… … Don’t worry, it’s a cheap handkerchief. You may take it.”

“Then, excuse me.”

Instead of crying, he answered the female student who asked nervously. Even if it’s expensive, I don’t intend to charge or charge it. Even if they went to knight academy, were commoners still not that wealthy?

“So what is going on with Byte? tell me.”

“That, that. I don’t know where to start. wait a minute… … .”

The female student hesitated at my questioning. Is it a difficult story to tell?

“Is it bullying?”

After waiting for a while, I asked. Reporting bullying from the standpoint of a bystander seems to be no different whether it is in modern times or here.

“… … yes. In a way, you could call it bullying.”

The female student responded with a wry smile as if to help herself. And as if he had made up his mind, he looked straight at me and said.

“The thing that put Byte at risk… … It’s a gamble.”

It was quite an unexpected answer.

“gambling?”

“yes. Because of that gamble, more than half of not only Bytes but also commoner first-year students… … . I have already become like a slave.

“What, what… … ?”

I was puzzled. That’s natural.

In the original story, that didn’t happen. The word gambling itself was never mentioned.

‘In such an unknown situation, more than half of the first year commoners became slaves… … ?’

I had no idea what the hell was going on.

“… … Carte.”

In front of me, who was confused, the female student said.

“Carte?”

“He is a nobleman with the magic of truth. That man… … .”

The name that came out of the girl’s mouth remained very faint in my memory.

It was a name that was mentioned only once, in only one episode.

‘I hoped… … Are you saying that extra guy made things like this?’

It was the name of the extra that Eugene beat to death after giving his first class in the original work.

Rather than that, the magic of truth, did you leave with a punch to a subject with such a powerful-looking magic? I don’t know if Eugene is great or if he’s stupid.

“That man offered a gamble to the commoners. Because it’s getting bigger… … .”

No, it might have been simply unlucky to be caught by Eugene. Looking at the current situation, you can’t be called stupid.

“It’s a gamble. what kind?”

“That’s because it’s so diverse… … . If you do all the things that have been released so far, there are more than 10 things. There were a lot of times when I saw something for the first time because I was from a family that researches such things.”

“Then it wouldn’t do much good to know what kind there were.”

I talked to myself and urged the female student to explain with a chin gesture. The female student was about to say something, but her expression became unsure.

“Why?”

“Well, it might be rude, but wouldn’t it be okay if the crown prince just told me to stop doing that? If it’s the prince’s strength, what Carte has done is enough… … .”

True to what he said, if I yelled at him and told him to stop right away, he might be able to finish it without fuss. However, only then can the interesting truth of the case or greater gain be obtained.

“I don’t do it in such a boring way.”

Above all, it’s not fun.

“First, answer the question. Why is Byte in a situation where he might die? Did the person himself go on a gamble and break the bank?”

“No, no! bytes, bytes… … .”

At my words, the female student jumped up from her seat. And at the end of looking around as if he didn’t know where to look, embarrassed by his actions,

“Byte is… … Byte was a hero!”

cried and shouted.

“But we, bytes… … Betrayal, shamelessly… … ! Then, no… … !!”

And as if something had been pressed, tears flowed and wept.

“Calm down. And tell me more.”

I handed my handkerchief on the table back to the girl.

“What happened?”

And the back part was questioned. The story started getting interesting.

From noble mtl dot com

“Chuck, at first it started in the name of friendship, gambling.”

After crying for a long time, the true female student started talking again with her characteristic trembling voice.

“amity?”

“yes. Carte proposed to resolve the awkward atmosphere between nobles and commoners. The stakes weren’t expensive at first either. At most, it was about a cup of tea or, if a bit expensive, a meal.”

It’s quite common even in modern schools, so the atmosphere was roughly expected. It must have been a sense of panching or sipping.

“It’s not easy to refuse a noble’s offer, and gambling is easy and there are many fun things, so after a few people started participating, it became quite common. To the point where everyone expects to gamble after the lecture.”

“I don’t know what the professors were doing.”

In modern times, it is common to get caught by a teacher and disappear after being scolded, but it seems that was not the case here. Was it difficult to crack down at the point where nobles were mixed?

“Then Rowen won very big.”

“Rowen?”

“yes. commons… … I was, I am a student.”

I was worried about being a student who was a ‘commoner’, but for now I kept quiet.

“Somehow, the stakes became very large, and the card with the highest multiplier came out… … The stakes, which had already risen to a frightening level, increased nearly 50 times from there… … .”

“XXXXX gold.”

“?! Coke, Coke! wait a minute What, how much?”

In an instant, an unbelievable amount came out and Sarai was heard.

“It’s XXXXX gold.”

“… … Didn’t I hear you wrong?”

“You heard me right. It’s an amount that I can’t even realize even though I’m talking about it.”

It was a ridiculous amount that exceeded my savings by several times. The amount was more than enough to buy a decent house in the capital and complete the furniture arrangement.

“That kind of money came and went from your freshman gambling? Are you saying that commoners gambled on money coming and going? Did you have the ability to pay?”

“Well, I’m not defending it, but the stakes weren’t that high at first. However, the gamble I took that day was a gamble in which the multiplier continued to roll over if there was no winner, and as it continued, it went up to a dangerously high level and even hit the jackpot. … .”

Is it like a lottery ticket that has been carried over because there is no winner? Even so, it was not an amount that would come from children’s gambling.

“Looking back, it may have been all planned. Because that’s where all the nightmares started.”

The female student shook her head bitterly.

“Carte paid the right amount even as he disassembled it. And Rowen, who won a large sum of money, used the money to become the adopted son of a poor nobleman and escaped the status of a commoner.”

“… … ? Wait, even if you’re an adopted child, if you don’t have magic, you won’t be able to meet the requirements of a nobleman, right?”

“that is… … As for the certificate, it’s easy to forge if you’re good at it. If only I had money… … . If it’s low-level magic that doesn’t get much use, there’s no use for it in the first place, even if you can’t actually use it.”

The female student said restlessly, as if she didn’t know if she could talk. My head was pounding and I sighed deeply.

‘It’s like the end of the Joseon Dynasty when people were buying and selling nobles. Is Sang-hyeol right now like that?’

Come to think of it, it was mentioned slightly in the original story. However, as the prince, when he heard that this was the case, he let out a sigh. The country where I am the crown prince is such a ruined country.

“Ah, anyway… … After that, gambling became even more heated. The money Rowen earned was overwhelming, even possible to become a noble.”

understanding goes. It’s natural for people around you to think, “Maybe, too.” Most of the time it usually doesn’t happen that way.

“Everybody was crazy about gambling. It’s embarrassing, but I did too. It was to the point that a child who didn’t open up at the time would be treated like an idiot.”

It was quite bitter when I imagined the timid girl in front of me staring at the card.

“But since Rowen, there have been few hits like that. No, there was none.”

‘Even Rowen’s jackpot may have been manipulated in the first place.’

A rise in status from a commoner to an aristocrat. It is the greatest success that can not be imagined from the point of view of common people. As a windswept, it couldn’t be more perfect.

“After repeated defeats, the debts of the commoner students continued to grow. Borrow money, gamble, and lose again. In the first place, it is natural that there is an overwhelming difference between the aristocracy and the capital.”

“It is possible for nobles to win until they win, but commoners do not.”

“yes. And as the debt piled up, it became difficult to respond to gambling, so in return for the debt, the nobles and the Carte gang started working the commoners like slaves.”

After that, the female student was silent. And he spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

“They say that if you do what they ask for, they will reduce your debt… … .”

“… … done. Say no more.”

Even without hearing it, I fully expected what would have happened.

“That was when Byte started.”

Is it the appearance of the main character now? I focused on the girl’s words.

“Byte had never been involved in gambling before. It was a fairly wealthy merchant family, so I could have done it, but I never did. I refused all solicitations, and I flatly refused to ask for a loan.”

“Are you saying that Bytes participated? What did you stake on?”

“Byte is… … .”

The girl caught her breath.

“He asked me to transfer the debts of all the commoner students to him.”

And he said it with an expression that seemed like he would cry again at any moment.
