Evelyn’s Ring Chapter 6
PLANUS EXARMATIO (5)
At the time when unmarried Cecilia lived in the Palace, angered by the kidnapping of her young nephew who was the current King, the 2 wagons used for the crime were made into barbecue. Witnessing the accident from the top of a 70-meter tower, she directly jumped down. The captors were scared witless seeing Cecilia waking through the flames and were severely warned (more like threatening) by her.
-Back off. The moment your dirty hands touch Arthel, I will turn them into ashes.
The kidnappers didn’t know that Cecilia was not only an archmage but also a person who stays true to her words. In fact, two of the kidnappers lost all their fingers on the spot and the sole heir of the previous King was returned without even a scratch.
When Count Lehil, the second most dignified of Berine, proposed marriage to the old King, people thought he didn’t know princess Cecilia that well as he was disinterested in the social talks(rumors). But surprisingly Count Lehil was more than that.
-I fell for the Princess’ courage and composure. Even in that dire situation, she only said to cut off their fingers. It’s not something anyone can do.
Raised under such parents, it’s inevitable to turn out like this. Taking in a deep quiet sigh, Henry went on with the chat as indifferently as possible. She won’t stop even if he asks, so it would be better to chat than look at some complicated book.
“Heard you will be sent to Pitte later?”
“That’s just a threat. My mom can’t bear sending me that far. Can’t even connect to the gate once you cross the sea. In a slip of a tongue, I once said that I wish to go on a trip there. My mom sulked for a whole 3 days.”
“Heard you are gonna sue them?”
“It has to as I was seriously injured saving them. Only I have the power and money to file a lawsuit that the judges won’t just skim over and say: ‘All are safe, then it’s good.’ Kids are cocky these days since they aren’t punished by the law. It would be a complete disaster if they can’t distinguish between heaven and hell (the things they are capable of doing). They must be taught that it will cause financial damage to their parents and only then they will be a bit more careful.”
Young lads these days… It has only been a few months since we turned adults. Henry tightly withheld his laughter. The just and hot-headed Evelyn Lehil, this is why I like you.
“You are already busy with the College Research Center, can you take out time for the court?”
“I have to. For the realization of social justice.”
Then I will also get busy for a while. The sigh he couldn’t hold back was louder than usual but didn’t reach Evelyn who yawned at the same time.
Last month 17th, six intermediate mages of the S group attending the Kriso Academy, on their first violation, expanded the gate and got trapped in it. Accordingly, the ministry of magic along with the research institute conducted an extensive search and succeeded in securing everyone on the 3rd of this month. However, Evelyn Lehil (18 years), a researcher of the Magic department as well as an 8th circle mage was seriously injured by the monster, which shocked the public. The Ministry of Magic, criticized for deploying a young girl (student) alone in that dangerous situation, revealed that Miss Lehil was not at all forced. Miss Lehil was present there because the gate was opened in the Moyen College where Miss Lehil was a freshman. It’s repeatedly emphasized that Miss Lehil Coincidentally found traces of the disappeared and voluntarily stood up to the rescue. Minister Jason of the Ministry of Magic strongly urged Kriso Academy to severely punish the six students who inflicted prodigious damage to the Country and society as well as expressed his gratitude and Apology to Miss Lehil who was seriously injured while rescuing them. In addition, he also announced that each family will be fined 80,000 Ceylon. Minister James expressed that the country will always strive for the life and safety of the citizens, but also will accord responsibility to the offenders. Meanwhile, Count Luis Lehil, father of Miss Lehil, who is nursing her injuries, filed a lawsuit against the parents of the students for damage compensation. The purpose of the aforementioned lawsuit is to evoke awareness for the transgression, therefore the compensation money will be donated…..
Seated in the same place as last week and meticulously reading the newspaper, Kyren looked strange. The newspaper was relatively neutral but the government influence was quite noticeable in the article. Even Kyren, who didn’t know the whole story of the incident, felt that some parts were different from the truth. A coincidence…? who knows. The situation seemed to be in a tight grasp.
-Due to those damn bastards!
Before jumping into the gate, she was clearly aware they were inside. Sure enough, the Civil servants are all about appearance. But here the opponent was a big shot, it couldn’t be buried that easily. For an accident caused by curiosity, 80,000 Ceylon was quite the price to pay. Compensation on the top, the damage will be great. Well, it’s their fault in parenting, there is no room for sympathy.
Plan to donate the full amount of compensation… Of course, they won’t feel bad for a few pennies for the treatment. Then why this unnecessary lawsuit? Those lads are from Kriso Academy, so they must be aristocrats. In this small circle, what is the need to suing the Aristocrat circle when Mr. Lehil doesn’t side with conflicts?
But no way for them to do such an annoying thing for no reason. Since the person concerned just turned adult, her Father must make a move. Is there any family disgusted by the Lehils among those stupid kids? Or needed to be checked? Which is right?
“That.. night-ssi.”
Deep in thought, Kyren reflexively raised his head hearing a cautious voice calling for him. In front of him, a woman in a neat dress holding a parasol was looking down with blushing cheeks. Kyren stood up. Looking at the girl, he smiled inside.
The outfit is quite to his taste. Haven’t heard of his rumors yet, seems to be a freshman. He is even rumored to be gay now. Until now, the women approaching Kyren, who had dashing looks and great wealth, were numerous. But without any exception, all were rejected as he had no time nor mentality to associate with a woman.
Above all, he must be careful with each word and scandal at this time. Before establishing himself, he had no mind for a relationship and became the talk of the town. And among them, no one was charming enough for him to bet on it.
“Is there anything?”
“Ah… that, I am Ruana Carol.”
“Nice to meet you, Miss Carol.”
Kyren’s polite greeting ended there. Expecting him to say more, Ruana’s face hardened. For a girl to strike up a conversation in public means that she is showing her interest in an obvious fashion. It’s proper manners for the counterpart to offer a seat but Kyren just smiled gently, didn’t even offer a cup of tea.
Is he gonna keep me standing? He isn’t a noble, so doesn’t know the etiquette? Biting her lips in arrangement, Ruana braved a bit more. Kyren was a celebrity, so the surrounding attention was already focused on them, she can’t back off now.
“Would you mind spending some time having tea together?”
“I am sorry Miss Ruana. I am glad for your offer, but have a class a little later.”
Ruana’s face darkened, she already checked his itinerary. Kyren’s next class is more than 30 minutes later and the classroom was right next to the cafeteria. It was an obvious rejection.
“T-Troubled you .”
“Not at all. I was glad to greet a beautiful girl.”
Ruana hurried away and Kyren greeted her very politely. As he turned around, his eyes widened seeing a familiar figure from afar. Heavily injured, looking at those energetic steps, seems to have fully recovered. The voice is also elated as always. Those rag-like robes, I can’t like as usual. Though my preference doesn’t matter.
“If you are fine now, then why are you still annoyed? Don’t stand in the way and go to your class. I don’t have any thoughts of coming to college and taking your classes for you. My studies are annoying enough! If you pass or fail, I won’t care anymore.”
“I am also off to my class. I canceled <Principles of Economics> and applied for <Ancient magic Incantations>. I can’t just let go of my mind. You always cause trouble when alone.”
“What bullshit? What trouble did I cause? I always take care of trouble! Did you forget how many lives I saved till now?”
“No, Not that.”
I already felt this before, how this noble miss speaks is quite extreme in the sense that it is violent and hard. Kyren, who hesitated a bit, slightly adjusted his expression and walked towards Evelyn. Anyway, they will be together in the same class for a semester, the greeting is necessary. And keeping aside his dislike, it’s not bad to get acquainted with such a great nobility.
“How are you doing, Miss Lehil.”
Who? Locking eyes with Evelyn who was looking guarded at him, Kyren showed a gentle smile. I expected a lot from the youngest qualifier of the bureaucratic exam but it seems like her memory is just so-so if she forgot a face like mine. Hiding his emotions, Kyren said in a gentle voice, “I am Kyren Night introduced by Ian Maxwell last week at this time. It’s normal not to remember me. The situation wasn’t appropriate for a proper greeting.”
“Ah…”
Finally remembering, Evelyn reached out for a handshake. He also greeted Henry who, with a sullen face, was standing beside her. With an embarrassed smile, she lightly stepped on Henry’s foot whose face was almost black as if smoke had come out of him. Only then did he offer his name.
“Sorry. That day the situation was quite…”
Hmm… She does know to greet properly.
“I fully understand. Your wrist was hurt, how is it now?”
“Yes, It’s fine.”
“Heard in the news that, you were heavily injured…”
“Evelyn, Class is gonna start.”
