18. The Limits of Human Capability (Happy New Year)

A little earlier, inside Ogelid’s dormitory.

For Niel, Mr. Ogelid’s current situation was anything but the leisure he claimed. The moment he made up a lame excuse to stay behind and then bolted out the door, Niel already sensed something “off.”

A moment of wild thoughts caused Niel to miss the chance to keep Ogelid, and by the time she realized it, she was left alone in the dormitory!

At the same time, the tiny fairy who insisted on seeing herself as the “master” also sprang out from Niel’s right eye, fluttering in the air with wings made of flames.

“My lord, there seem to be many people sneaking around, but after he ran out just now, all the presence followed him.”

“…”

Niel was silent. Although she couldn’t sense these presences, she had already detected Mr. Ogelid’s anxiety from his expression, and now it seemed that the danger was indeed heading for Mr. Ogelid!

“It looks like they want to capture him? Hmm~ Then this man must have run out to attract attention to protect you, my lord. Heh~ Even though he’s a weakling, his actions are unexpectedly considerate…”

The tiny fairy Gias’s tone was more teasing than praising, “What to do? My lord, this doesn’t seem to concern you.”

“Please don’t judge him casually.”

From noble mtl dot come

Niel spoke up even before the fairy finished.

She had always been in a position protected by Mr. Ogelid, and this time, Mr. Ogelid had plunged into danger without a second thought, all for her safety. But this time, now, and in the future… she would no longer be just a burden, Mr. Ogelid.

“Chase after him.”

Without feeling a shred of inner tension or fear, Niel made her command and then took a step forward.

This is the male dormitory area of the Rublyanka Academy. Although the dormitory interior seemed unproblematic, when Niel chased out of the dormitory, she immediately saw Mr. Olegid being carried away, shielded by several figures.

Niel instinctively wanted to go to the rescue, but in the next moment, two figures had somehow blocked her way: they were clearly lookouts!

“Why are you taking him away!?”

“Comrade, this is not something you should be asking about.”

The two towering men from the Rossiya Empire, one of them threateningly said, “If you don’t want to suffer, just pretend you saw nothing and turn around!”

Years of training as a maid made Niel keenly aware of the discrepancy. The blocking Russians, though cloaked in black coats, were slightly exposed by the cold wind and snow, revealing the military uniforms hidden underneath.

In other words, the ones who took Mr. Olegid were formidable figures from the Rossiya Empire!?

It can’t just end like this! Otherwise, it would be difficult to know where Mr. Olegid was taken! And…

What do I have to be afraid of?

In the silence, another irritable Rossiyan man was straightforward!

“Suka blyat, a punch will make this clueless woman cry and run away, idiot.”

With that, the punch was already on its way, aimed straight at Niel’s face! There was no hint of intimidation, it was all real!

Of course, there was a bit of fear, but now Niel felt more… excitement!

As if a switch had finally been flipped inside her body! Her body also leaped with joy, and even a smile appeared on her lips. Because Niel realized: it had come.

The chance to prove that she was not just a vase, not just someone who could only watch the young lady and him from afar, but someone who could make him take notice and win his heart, had finally begun. Mr. Olegid, I will definitely perform better than the young lady…

The man’s punch swung fiercely! However, just as it was about to hit Niel’s face, it took a bizarre turn and hammered down on his own nasal bone! Followed by a scream, he covered his face, now streaming with nosebleed.

And the other flustered strongman, after making eye contact with Niel subconsciously, also froze in place as if bewitched.

“Please take me to Mr. Olegid.”

After Niel finished speaking, she helped up her fallen companion, and the two turned and left.

The night grew darker, and the snow grew heavier. The two men not far ahead were still foolishly shuttling through the academy, which, in Niel’s view, meant that the destination where Mr. Olegid was taken was probably somewhere within the Rublyanka Academy.

The cold-proof contract added by the young lady didn’t make Niel feel cold; instead, the flames emanating from the little fairy following her made Niel feel somewhat overheated. Finally, the two guiding Rossiyan men stopped in a classroom, then opened a switch, revealing a passage connected to who knows where, of course… accompanied by many puzzled members of the Rossiya Empire, alert and emerging, then noticing Niel’s presence.

“Hey! Tugayev! Why did you bring an unrelated person back!?”

“Weren’t you just supposed to bring that man over!? That man is just waiting to be burned on the street tomorrow, don’t cause trouble tonight!”

I guessed right! Mr. Olegid is here!

But the “burned” just now, could it be referring to Mr. Olegid’s current predicament!?

I will not allow anyone to harm Mr. Olegid, but if I just barge in and rescue Mr. Olegid…

“Comrade, it seems tonight we will have to invite you to our safe house for a cup of barley tea.”

In the blink of an eye, more men in black had surrounded Niel. If it were the old Niel, she would have been scared stiff by now, but now…

Niel just felt it was a hassle, and also… quite dissatisfied with them for daring to harm Mr. Olegid! I have the right, I have the capital, because with the appearance of Princess Kias, Niel also remembered fragments of memories.

For example: I am no mere mortal, I am extraordinary. A sovereign, born to dominate.

“Kias.”

“Yes, my lord.”

A dazzling flame burst forth from Niel’s right eye, transforming into a fiery fairy with long wings of flame, her entire being ablaze.

“Hmph… Mortals, ants, heed my command, submit to my lord!”

In an instant, the fairy turned into flame, sweeping over everyone inside the room!

——

Deep into the night, within the pitch-black darkness, a faintly flickering crimson light in the right eye of a silhouette, slowly faded as the figure stepped out.

“My lord, I just sensed that man’s presence, why didn’t you save him directly? Instead, you let those mortals decide tomorrow ‘not to stop those who go to rescue Ogelid’? Isn’t this just making a wedding dress for someone else?”

“Because what he’s looking forward to isn’t being saved by me, but by Kefir.”

“Eh? Sigh~ That’s why love and romance are so troublesome.”

“Just wait a little longer, Kias, it’s not time yet…”

Following that, Niel carefully initiated the contract, taking a deep breath.

Her tone suddenly became frantic and flustered.

“Miss! It seems Mr. Ogelid has been captured by the Rosian Empire!”

Happy New Year, may all go well with you, and may you have plenty of monthly tickets, all for me.jpg
