Chapter 123: Getting Crushed at the Same Time
(What, is this the bathroom?)
Suddenly standing up from the sofa… instead of asking Ishud about the restroom’s location, Dimna turned towards Ishud, then knelt down straight to the floor.
“Wha-?!?!”
Not stopping there, Dimna slowly lowered his head… and positioned his hands diagonally.
“Please. I want you to train with me.”
(Th-this guy… Seriously. Seriously, seriously!!! Is he an idiot???!?!?!?!)
Although his face showed utter shock, Ishud managed to suppress his retorts only in his mind.
However… Dimna’s gesture of prostration was firm, with his head literally touching the ground… literally rubbing his head against the floor as he pleaded.
Ad
“I recently learned that this is the highest form of asking.”
(Who taught him such a thing????)
Clutching his fists, Ishud’s face contorted with intense anger.
Philip and the others who were a bit away could see his face, and normally… Philip might burst out laughing first, but the sight before them was so unbelievably surprising.
(Hey hey hey… Am I dreaming? I woke up a while ago and had breakfast, I think…)
He lightly pinched his cheek to confirm, and it hurt properly.
Philip wasn’t the only one who took such a classical method; Michela, Christeal, and Dustin also confirmed that the scene before their eyes wasn’t a dream.
But for all of them, it properly hurt.
“I see, so that pose had a significant meaning.”
Saying this as he stood up from the sofa, Adreas lined up beside Dimna.
“Adreas-sama!! Please, just stay there without saying anything!”
Reacting to the change in the guard knight’s voice, sensing something… Adreas, as a member of the royal family carrying weighty authority, knelt down beside Dimna, bending his knees and lowering his waist to the floor.
(This fool… Is he in his right mind?)
Rather than questioning if they were serious or not, Ishud was now witnessing a scene that made him question their sanity.
“Ishud… Please. I also wish to train here with you.”
“Wha… wha… wha…!!”
Ishud clenched his fists so hard it seemed he might draw blood.
Despite his face becoming even more interesting… no one dared to comment on it in this situation.
Moments ago, the guard knight who tried to stop Adreas’s actions… was now shouting that how long would they allow Prince Adreas to continue such a posture!!! But seeing Ishud’s face, it was clear to everyone that he found the current situation annoying, and out of sympathy, they all remained silently closed-lipped.
“…Haaah…”
Exhaling a sigh that seemed to release all the oxygen from his lungs… Ishud opened his mouth without hiding his troublesome expression.
“Well… I get it.”
“Wha…!!”
Upon hearing the words of forgiveness, both of them looked up eagerly.
“But before that, let me confirm something. Your parents… they know about you coming here, right?”
“Oh, yes, my father… the head of the family, knows.”
“I’ve informed my father, His Majesty the King, as well.”
“Okay, for now I’ll believe your words.”
Ensuring that this wouldn’t escalate into a situation where “My child has been kidnapped! They were forcibly taken away!!” happened.
“When asked what you were doing with the others, don’t say you were with us. Especially you, Prince.”
“Of course!”
“Alright… Huh? What is it, Philip?”
“Well, if those two are going to operate here, it means they won’t be coming home for about twenty days, right? So, don’t you think some minimum excuse is necessary?”
“Something like feeling regret over the results in the Fierce Battle Festival and aiming for greater heights should suffice. You two, stick to that. And if any of your family members seem like they’re about to go berserk, stop them at all costs. Got it?”
Nodding obediently to Ishud’s almost threatening command, the two agreed.
Then… Ishud turned his gaze not to Adreas and Dimna, but to Philip and the others.
Ad
“And you guys, never mention the scene that just happened here.”
It was a pressure that Ishud would never direct towards Gulf and the others in normal circumstances.
Although he didn’t explicitly say what would happen if they did talk… invoking Ishud’s pressure was akin to issuing a threat.
Despite sensing that it wasn’t directed as pressure towards friends or acquaintances, Gulf and the others vigorously nodded in agreement.
“Alright… Now both of you, get up quickly.”
Feeling that it was too cumbersome to have them kneeling on the ground like that, Ishud stood up from the sofa and, before leaving the room, threw a sarcastic remark at the guard knights.
“Seriously, what kind of education are they giving their kids over there?”
Having been hit with such a sarcastic remark, they had nothing to say in return, merely lowering their heads.
“Excuse us.”
“Yeah, whatever.”
Leaving the reception room, Ishud arrived at the head’s office.
“Well… to cut to the chase, I’ve approved their stay for the summer vacation.”
“Oh… I see. I actually thought you might send them back.”
It wasn’t a joke, nor did his face show any sign that he would genuinely be troubled if they stayed.
“You could have made a deal like ‘if they beat me in a 2-on-1, then send them back,’ right?”
Ad
“Yeah… that’s true. But you know…”
Having heard the details of what transpired in the reception room, Alba fully trusted Ishud, yet still found it hard to digest the explanation given.
“Is that… really true?”
“Absolutely, seriously true. Those two fools… it’s not a problem for someone like me, but showing that to ordinary nobles might really shorten their lifespans.”
“Haha… hahaha!!! Yeah, that sounds about right. I mean, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone fainted right on the spot.”
“They might go beyond fainting and start wetting themselves… Anyway, we’ve got two new additions.”
“I see, got it. Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll handle it somehow. You just handle those two fools.”
By the way, the two guard knights and the magicians ended up being thoroughly grilled by the knight and magician corps belonging to the Regula family as well.
