Love Letter From The Future

3. Dragon’s Eye, Human Mind (66)

Hundreds of mouths fell shut at the sight beyond imagination.

Puck, puck, puck!

Ian’s fists and feet were hitting the princess without hesitation.

At first he thought he was going to hit her in the face, then he got up and kicked the princess. One after another, the man trampled on the arm of a weak girl who couldn’t even breathe properly.

The princess, who had been screaming, must have been hoarse, and it had been a long time since she stopped making a sound.

He was just enduring the brutal violence of the man.

It was such an unrealistic scene that I was blown away.

How could the royal family be beaten like this?

No matter how much the honor of the imperial family was staked, it was an excessive measure. Even if he was called to the imperial family with a high probability, it wouldn’t be strange.

Some students removed their lips to dry them, but soon had no choice but to close their mouths again.

Ian’s violence was inorganic.

Although it seemed to contain subtle emotions, Ian’s attitude in essentially assaulting the princess was cold. It seemed as if they were always following the calculations.

So, the minds of the onlookers watching this became more and more complicated.

I couldn’t even guess what kind of calculations I had to complete to do that. However, as the violence continued, more and more people were looking at the princess with pity.

Contrary to the thoughts of the crowd, however, the princess had a slightly different idea.

‘does not it hurt… … ?’

It really didn’t hurt. Of course, when the ax was lodged in his shoulder, it was painful and painful enough to make him scream.

And when I was hit in the face with a fist, it also hurt. That was enough to keep screaming out of my startled heart.

It was only after a few minutes had passed that the princess noticed the abnormality even in the midst of her unconsciousness.

My senses, which had become more and more dull, soon became dull enough that I could not feel any pain.

I could feel the punches and kicks hitting my body.

However, it did not stimulate the sense of pain. The princess was experiencing a strange sensation of feeling only pressure and no pain.

It wasn’t long before she realized why.

It was because Shien’s mind soon became hazy. The princess had experienced such a state not too long ago.

It was an anesthetic.

This was the main street of the academy. Of course, it seemed clear that Ian did not use an anesthetic to stun the princess and kidnap her.

Then there was only one answer.

Ian purposely used the anesthetic poison so that the princess wouldn’t get sick.

Possibly there was venom on the ax blade lodged in his shoulder. Looking back, that was the only time Ian used a blade.

Because there was a reason it had to be.

Ian assaulted him, but he did not want to cause the princess pain. Normally, it was an incomprehensible situation.

To use violence meant to inflict pain on the other person.

In this way, violence was the means to relieve resentment and punish resentment. However, Ian’s behavior was the exact opposite.

The disadvantages of using violence remain the same, and the benefits are eliminated.

Shien couldn’t understand that and stared blankly at Ian.

Still, only vague emotions came from him. In his heart, frustration, sorry, and even worry were buried.

Only then did Shien gain a lightning-like realization even in the middle of being assaulted.

Ian had no particular grudge against the princess. As soon as she realized that fact, the princess felt good as if she would fly away.

Ian was even sacrificing himself to help the princess.

This was evident just by looking at the changing waves of emotions surrounding him.

The air that was once filled with hostility towards Shien has now been filled with worry and anxiety. It was as if his perception of C.N. was changing in real time.

A weak girl who is assaulted by a strong man.

And the strange anxiety that Shien might become strange and the imperial family might attack them stimulated the crowd again.

They were now looking for a new reason.

As before, the reason why he should worry and take care of the princess instead of hating her.

Only then would they be at least exonerated from the imperial wrath.

In particular, Ian’s reckless behavior was clearly imprinting the existence of the ‘Imperial Family’ on them.

It was because the thought that the wrath of the imperial family would reach him if he did so naturally made him draw a picture of himself being disposed of by the imperial family.

Shien burst into tears.

Even now, Ian didn’t feel any desire. Ian took on the role of a villain simply to save Shien.

I was grateful for that, but also felt guilty.

Other members of the royal family might have reacted a little differently. No matter how much it was, such anger would have arisen as to humiliate the imperial family by assaulting them on the roadside.

But Shien was different.

Because I knew that Ian was the owner of the dragon blood letter.

In the first place, having dragon blood characters meant that he was an agent of the emperor. There was no one to say anything about the emperor’s assault on the princess.

Rather, I had no choice but to guess that there must have been a sad decision for the imperial family.

So, Shien was thrilled.

Again, it wasn’t a mistake.

Ian always treats her sincerely. It was the only ‘real’ one.

Of course, the man wasn’t even friendly enough to be a scapegoat.

After continuing the assault for several minutes, Ian gasped and took a few steps back.

There were already several bloodstains from the princess’s body all over his clothes. Blood-soaked golden eyes scanned the surroundings sharply.

Then, the onlookers could only hesitate and lower their eyes.

It was because he was afraid of Ian who was about to leave.

In their minds, Ian’s nickname, which had been forgotten for some time, was being revived.

‘The Mad Dog at the Academy’.

Yeah, why did I forget?

Ian Perkus was out of control. The princess could not help herself if she was insulted by such a person.

In a way, all the things he had been cursing for so long seemed natural.

It was a new but significant realization.

“… … What you looking at?”

The crowd desperately averted their eyes at the murderous tone he spat out. As if making eye contact with Ian would be the next victim.

“You guys are the same. Wasn’t Her Highness the only person who touched me?”

At that sharp point, several students flinched and trembled.

They were mainly those who directly harassed Ian and the people around him. Seeing this, Ian burst into laughter.

“… … hey.”

Then, the Pyongseong flew in, tearing through the air.

The hatchet, fired like a ray of light, lodged in front of the onlookers. The blade, tucked into the stone floor as if it were mud, was enough to strike fear into the crowd.

“There is no next. Be mindful.”

Finally, Ian raised his hand.

Then, with a thump, the hatchet returned to his hand.

It was a technique that applied Jung Jung-dong’s technique.

A hand ax that followed a pre-determined trajectory was easy to retrieve.

Ian left like that.

At the scene where the storm-like man had passed, only the weeping girl and silent onlookers remained.

Some of the onlookers who had been watching for a while sneaked up to the princess.

Then, as he helped her up, he looked at the princess covered in injuries and put on a worried expression.

“Ah, anyway… … .”

“I’m not a bad person, but I think someone who is a bit scary is right.”

“Your Highness, are you okay?”

It was a warm voice I hadn’t heard in a long time. So, the princess sobbed even more, then raised her head with a hazy look as the anesthesia had not gone away yet.

Those light gray eyes were filled with joy.

The students who were supporting the princess had no choice but to exchange glances with bewildered expressions. Like it or not, the princess muttered in a voice like a dreaming girl.

“Awesome, Sir Ian… … .”

Those who heard the idiotic chanting, including the students supporting Shien, couldn’t help but make dumb faces again.

It was because it was unthinkable that a woman who had been brutally assaulted could have uttered it.

Did I hear you wrong?

However, judging from the reaction of the people around her, she was not mistaken. On the contrary, the princess continued to mutter as if to confirm death.

“It’s so cool, it’s the best… As expected, I only have Sir Ian… … .”

In the end, as always, the public understood the incident to their standards.

It’s broken, Her Highness the Princess.

There was a look of sad pity in their eyes, and the princess was confessing her affection for Ian with a hazy expression.

The man who came suddenly like a letter put an end to everything.

Of course, there was no such thing as Ian being cursed at like before. It was true that there were many people whose lives were saved by him, and students with such courage did not exist at the academy.

However, if you ask about ‘Ian Perkus’, the members of the academy will only spit out one word at a time.

“It’s crazy.”

As an ally, he is infinitely reassuring, but as an enemy, he is more fearless.

Of course, no one wanted to have him as an enemy.

Even the princess couldn’t match him.

**

However, every ending leads to the beginning of a new story.

The next day, Neris visits Ian and leaves a bombshell.

“Me, Ian? The imperial family will send a high-ranking official to see Ian in a few days… … .”

“What the f*ck.”

In the end, what was to come had to come.
