220 Trouble At The Gates Of The Academy
“Adel, if things really did turn out badly. And you were the only one able to inherit the throne. I will stand by your side and assist you in any way possible. You can then slowly learn the kind of ruler you wish to be and do the things you need to do to get the kingdom back on track.” I said softly. Adel lowered her head and then hugged my arm. She seemed to be very emotional right now. I guess all this talk about civil war was getting to her.
“No…” After a few minutes, I heard Adel softly speak. “If things do go in a bad way and we somehow do push back the enemy. I want you to take my place. You can do this job much better than me.”
Hearing Adel’s words, I could only sigh. For now, I will just take it as her being over emotional. But I will also not give her a proper answer either. To be honest, I really hate all this political stuff. I hate it so much I just want to blow up all the nobles I think are taking part in this conspiracy, including the Prime Minister. I want to just clean house now instead of dealing with all the troubles. But I guess this also makes me more of a tyrant than anything.
Ruling with an iron fist is not a good thing. Especially if you suppress the people, but at the same time, ruling in a too lenient manner will also cause problems too. You need to find a mix of the two that will give citizens the freedom to do as they please but at the same time keep law and order strict so no one tries to stir up trouble.
I am not sure if there is any way such a thing is possible. Even back on Earth, no matter the country you lived in, there were always problems. People were never happy, and greed ran rampant. This world was no different. It seems to be ingrained in all living beings, whether they are beast or man.
The two of us walked in silence. I am sure Adel had a lot to think over. But her question bothered me a lot as I remember back to my fortune telling and the dreams I have been having. I myself couldn’t help but feel a tad worried.
I do not know what exactly the Prime Minister is up to. I can only hope that with Diablo’s help, I will be able to get the information needed to make plans for the future to prevent anything serious from happening.
An hour later, I was standing outside the gates of the academy. Two guards were standing in front of me. Both were students of the academy, upperclassmen, I guess. “What is a demi human doing here? The Royal Magic Academy does not accept demi humans. Turn around now and leave.”
“Since when does the academy not let in demi humans!? From what I understand, my father and the Dean have long said that as long as they are qualified to enter, they can enter. Do you really wish to go against the royal family and the Dean? Faith is one hundred percent a student of this academy. If you want to stop her from entering, then I will make sure you and your family lose all your status.” Adel was very angry. But these young men did not seem to care for a single word she said.
“Princess Adel, you may be the princess of this kingdom, but our Royal Magic Academy does not let dirty demi’s into it. We have been told that no demi humans are allowed to enter at any time by our head instructor.” One of the young men replied.
“Oh, so your instructor is now in a higher position than the Dean?” I asked in a mocking tone. I crossed my hands in front of my chest and tapped my foot off the ground as I continued. “You do know that I was called here by the Dean himself. I am sure you know that Faith Cyrilia is to be allowed in. And Adel is right, I am a member of this academy. I just finished my test the other day. But if you insist on not allowing me in, I do not mind showing you my qualifications.”
I didn’t wait for them to answer before my eyes lit up, and they found themselves stuffed in the ground up to their necks with only their heads above ground. I knelt down in front of them and gave them a sweet smile. “Who is the instructor that told you to block all demi’s from entering?”
“You! Do you think you can get away with this!? Ouch!” One of the young men yelled out but ended up getting kicked in the face by Adel.
“She can get away with it. Even if she killed you now it would be no problem since I will say I did it. What can you do about it!? I mean, I am standing right here with her, and yet you want to go against the royal family. Since that is the case, you and your families will have to suffer the consequences,” Adel sneered as she turned to me with a smile and asked: “Do you have any more of those pastries with the fillings in them?”
I looked at her a bit confused, but with that smile that did not seem to reach her eyes, I understood that whatever she was about to do, it was not going to be good for them. I took out a few pastries and watched as Adel squeezed out the filling on her hands before kneeling down and smearing it all over their two young men’s faces. Once they were both coated well, she stood back up and held her handouts to me. I chuckled and used water magic to clean them. “Thank you!”
Adel spun around and looked back at the two young men and, with a bright smile, said: “Enjoy having your face covered with red pepper ants. This area is filled with them, and they like to lay their eggs in human flesh. It is a strange thing if you ask me because they never do it to demi humans, only humans, and they really like sugar. That filling has a lot of sugar in it which makes your faces the perfect breeding ground.”
Ah… Adel is a devil. It has been confirmed. Even I am not that evil! But I like it! Adel really knew how to dish out punishment.
