I can see emperor stats-Chapter 26
what you get from the academy
The four months passed really quickly. It is now December, when the snow is blowing.
As the academy semester neared completion, the professors' evaluation of Julius was usually this.
'He's not a genius, but he's a genius with hard work.'
'They say Mu's talent is excellent, but this is enough for the status of a prince!'
'Before he was a genius, he had a great personality. Isn't it strange that rumors about someone like this have spread like that?'
With Julius, who had completed all the curriculum, in front of him, Dean Dippet was also looking at him with warm eyes different from before.
[Puhahahahaha!! What did I say? Your Highness is the one I taught since I was a toddler! I know best!]
It's true that Mareus, who is exchanging letters, will sue while laughing loudly, but it's true that Julius has done an excellent job.
Dean Dippet, as an educator, naturally had good feelings for Julius, who was an outstanding student.
“It was a short period of time, but I consider it a great honor to have such an outstanding person as Your Highness educated at our Savior Academy.”
“I can’t help but say it’s an honor. I also learned a lot at this academy, including the dean.”
Julius accepted the certificate from the dean and finally left the academy.
'Huh, that Mareus guy. Unexpectedly, there are so many blessings for disciples... … .'
The dean looked at her back with regret and just stroked his beard.
Julius felt the same way. Here's what he got from Savior Academy.
First, through speeches and academy activities that reveal his prominence, he made many talented people turn their eyes to the empire.
Perhaps in a few years, the number of verified talents from the Savior Academy will increase considerably in the Imperial Administrative Office and the military.
It goes without saying that they, with their excellent practical skills, will give strength to suppress the power of the nobles!
The second is the recruitment of Devan Kalios, who will become one of the continent's best strategists in the future. As it was his first priority, Julius's joy was great.
'No way, I didn't know it would work that well.'
“Thanks to Your Highness, it feels like my eyes have been reopened.”
Devan literally became a new man. People around him who knew him doubted whether it was the same person.
Of course, his ego may not have been crushed overnight. But just knowing that he has to bend when he has to bend is a huge realization for him.
'It's because the Devan in his previous life actually behaved great, but his personality itself could have been an eccentric.'
"Even if I'm not by your side, I will definitely become a person who can help you!"
Julius laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
“I graduate and come, but no matter how much I do, I don’t accept dropouts. haha!!"
He is satisfied with bringing Devan into the Empire for now.
And the third... … .
“Do you have anything to say?”
“… … .”
Marquis Wallace was prostrated in front of Archduke Wilhelm, dripping with cold sweat.
'I might really die this time.'
Wallace knew the archduke's character well. He was the type of person who gets colder the more he gets angry.
To see such a reaction means that the Grand Duke's anger has really exploded.
The Grand Duke slowly opens his mouth.
“Fortress Mareus, look at that old man walking around triumphantly. It's a really gut-wrenching feeling.”
Yes! Already, Julius' activities in the Holy Land were quite a topic of conversation within the imperial palace.
“No way, that First Prince had the ability to get excellent grades at the Savior Academy!”
"Well, even though he's been a troubled kid since he was young, isn't he someone who has never been praised as Dunjae?"
Mareus literally forgets his body language and whenever he sees the officials around him, he goes around saying 'Proud of our 1st Prince'.
The Grand Duke shook his head, as if his stomach was spinning just thinking about it, and said sternly.
“Your plan has failed. Admit it?”
“I apologize.”
Wallace lies on his stomach and can't even get up. Indeed, the right to escape his life or death is in the hands of the Grand Duke.
“I made a mistake by trusting only you and entrusting the work.”
The Archduke was no fool. I didn't think that this series of events was necessarily because of Wallace's incompetence.
The cause he thinks is the current emperor, Mareus, and, crucially, the first prince!
“I think we looked down on the first prince too much.”
Yes! The Grand Duke, who trusted Wallace's words too much, looked down on the first prince's talent itself. But the tiger's child was a tiger.
'In the first place, the 2nd prince is so brilliant, how could the 1st prince be an idiot?'
A lot of clues were given. He called his son-in-law, the Marquis de Carlos, the head of the Guard Knights, and asked.
“I heard that you are teaching His Highness the First Prince. How is his talent?”
The Marquis of Carlos thought for a moment before speaking.
“Confined to the talent of nothing, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone better than him.”
At that time, in fact, the Grand Duke was quite surprised.
“Is that enough?”
There was no way that Choin's eyes were wrong.
He said that he trained hard, but the Grand Duke, thinking that he had that kind of talent, did not bother to interfere with Julius' journey to the kingdom.
Could he have imagined that a foreigner, Duke Dios, would guide Julius so diligently?
The intention was to spend a lot of wasted time at the academy, where he was forced to enter, rather than in the field of talent, but the expectation was completely wrong.
After pondering for a moment, the Grand Duke spoke again.
“From now on, I will assume that the first prince's talent will be at least on the same level as the second prince, and proceed with the plan.”
Wallace sweeps his chest. At least he was convinced that the Grand Duke would not kill him at this spot.
"but! There is no third
The archduke stares at Wallace with an ice-cold tone.
He has failed twice so far.
The first is not making Julius a problem child when he was young!
The second is that he generously invested in knight lessons so that Julius' talent could bloom!
“I will definitely meet the expectations of the Grand Duke this time.”
'I live!'
In the end, his life was barely saved. He thought the Archduke was pathetic to Wallace, who was relieved.
'This side doesn't even have talented people, so I have to trust and use even a guy like that.'
The Marquis Wallace, seen by the Archduke, was clever and had great talent as a merchant, but was basically a small person. He is an unreliable person who cares only for his own gain.
'But there are still many uses.'
He was, after all, a man with the highest rank in the Empire. And the fact that he is still a spy for the imperial faction is one of the reasons for keeping him alive.
The Archduke judged that there was no need to destroy those who were worth using in a momentary rage.
He slowly recalls the silences of his life.
The emperor and Mareus were indeed strong enemies. To make a prince who was called an idiot like this in just a few years.
'But now I'm only making up for half. His Majesty the Emperor.'
While Julius raised his name in the Holy Land, Leonhardt was not idle either.
Leonhardt helped the activities of the nobles, including the grand duke, in the south and achieved considerable results, and he also gave good luck to the people, so the popularity of the second prince could not be ignored in the south.
'From now on, don't be vigilant! never!'
He must make his nephew emperor.
While the Archduke stiffened his expression, Marquis Wallace was also desperately shaking his head.
'I've already lost too much of the Archduke's trust. If things go on like this, I have nothing to say even if they are purged in the future.'
Something has to work! To regain the trust of the Archduke.
'I tried to save it until the end if possible, but I can't help it.'
His Ryan Merchant is a thriving merchant commerce trade in the southern part of the Empire. He had other secret connections besides the Grand Duke.
'The Southern Desert Kingdom!'
He was determined to overcome this crisis somehow, even by using those connections.
Julius also pondered about that.
'If I go back to the Empire now, I can't avoid the Grand Duke's interference.'
The third thing he gained this time is his external stature!
From a somewhat unusual prince, he has emerged as a potential successor to the throne with both knowledge and skills.
'But it's a double-edged sword.'
The Archduke is by no means a person who will allow himself to win any longer.
Julius also muttered softly as he left the academy.
“This is the real beginning.”
And finally, the day came when Julius left for the Empire again.
“It's a pity that His Highness is gone even though it was only for a short period of time.”
Duke Dios, looking sad, personally sees off Julius as he leaves.
“I also learned a lot from Your Highness. Thank you so much.”
Beatrice also bowed politely.
Julius smiled and was greeted by the two.
“I don’t mind. The duke is rather a great benefactor to me.”
And he turned his gaze to Beatrice.
“Lise, you were also a good stimulus to me. As I said before, thank you very much.”
Julius and she had been receiving swordsmanship instruction together as the Duke had intended for several months.
Although he is far ahead of him now, she must have felt a lot while watching him and the duke's training, and like a natural genius, she also improved her skills.
'It's not just a joke that if you neglect training, you'll catch up.'
Unaware of his thoughts, Beatrice slightly blushed.
"You're welcome, that's what I'm going to say."
The duke looked at the two of them with delight.
'Look, but it's not ineffective because it's pasted.'
The two had known each other for several months and had become quite close. There was no such thing as a relationship between a man and a woman yet, but the duke was still satisfied.
It was because the duke, like a military man with keen senses, felt the affectionate feelings that Julius had for his daughter at first glance.
Even if Beatrice did not express it outwardly, it was clearly visible that she did not dislike the prince.
The duke nodded his head inwardly.
'Cancer, no matter how princely she is, my daughter is also not a child who falls into it.'
However, there are some things that take a little bit to see unconditionally positive.
'I don't know Rize, but the prince seems so disinterested? Don't you just think of me as a friend?'
Of course, this is the reality of Julius.
'But this time, the first meeting was really good. Even in my previous life, I had never called him by a nickname.'
A relationship suddenly formed through an arranged marriage, and he in his previous life was nothing more than an indecisive madman at the time of marriage.
Of course, there was no choice but to creak from the start, and he and Beatrice had been more like reliable colleagues than affectionate lovers in their previous lives.
Of course, the duke's worries were groundless.
If possible, Julius would like to have her by his side right now.
'It's too dangerous to bring Beatrice to the Empire right now.'
Julius judged that it was not yet the time to gather forces in earnest. She is still a great talent, but she is not yet complete.
'It's not now, but I'll definitely bring it someday.'
Julius temporarily shakes off his lingering feelings for Beatrice. Even for the sake of future plans, now is not the time to be bound by personal affections.
His gaze was heading towards the northern part of the Holy Kingdom.
'Soon, the northern road construction will be completed.'
Julius' first foreign activity has been decided for a long time to be in the north.
I don't know what the outcome will be, but the important thing is that a lot has already changed from my previous life.
And the winds of full-scale change will begin to blow from the north.
