ㅇㅇ(89.74): Seal off the library entrance now.
ㅇㅇ(89.74): Make sure no one can co near.
Justice's Magical Girl■: Yes.
Laplace did not question why.
The command of the ruler was absolute.
No matter the circumstances, it must always be the utmost priority.
And the reason for the command beca imdiately clear upon arriving at the library entrance.
‘Huh?!…♥Cough..Uh-huh!..Oh♥Ugh…Ah..Huh!..*Gulp ♥Ho…*Choke.!♥’
Which fortunate female was receiving the ruler’s favor?
The ‘indefinable emotion’ felt in the morning propelled Laplace’s steps into the library.
To clandestinely observe the ruler’s intimate monts…
It was a bold move for a re Onahole, yet it was too tempting to resist.
‘…Helen Redrose?’
To her surprise, the recipient of favor was the heir to the Redrose family.
Naturally, an ordinary female would never catch the ruler’s eye.
However, to directly obtain ‘Redrose’ was unforeseen.
‘I did not receive his favor today…’
While witnessing the intimate scene, Laplace bit her lip and proceeded outside to guard the entrance as instructed.
…About 30 minutes remained until ‘Elise’s Day’ concluded.
Step- Step-
The ruler exited the library, buttoning up his shirt.
“Ah, Ian. I’ll handle it…”
“It’s okay. I’ve got this.”
“…Yes, understood.”
“Besides, you ca unexpectedly, thanks for making the effort.”
“…Ah…no problem. And maybe because it’s Elise’s Day, there weren’t many people around…”
Laplace halted mid-sentence and closed her mouth.
There was no need for soone like her to elaborate. The all-knowing ruler must already be aware of everything.
‘…Then, why did the ruler summon ?’
It was perplexing.
If he knew no one would co, why summon her?
‘Perhaps, to see ?’
The thought almost made her blush, but it was a naive notion.
The ruler’s actions and words always carried deep significance.
Of course, no matter how hard she tried, she could never fully grasp the ruler’s thoughts. Yet, she hoped to understand even a fraction of them.
‘…For what reason… Why? There must be an important reason the ruler called !!…Exactly…I…Ah!!!’
Then, Laplace felt a chill run down her spine.
This was both a revelation and a test from the ruler.
It was to show that he had finally taken action after biding his ti, by taking the Redrose family… no, Helen, into his hands.
Shivering-
The thought of passing the test made Laplace tremble with ecstasy.
He had given plenty of hints, but the ecstasy stemd from having approached the ruler’s thoughts, even slightly.
‘…Ah! …My eternal ruler!’
She dared not even hope for an equal position as a ‘wife’ or ‘lover’.
To the ruler, all humans were no different from monkeys.
…But among them, there were always those to whom he was more attached.
‘The most attached monkey’
That was all Laplace wished for now.
“Now, you can go back. Good work.”
“No, it’s nothing… Ian. Thank you very much.”
Laplace, deeply bowing, spoke with sincerity.
Just being tested by the ruler was proof of being a bit more ‘special’ than the other monkeys.
May 7th.
Two days since Elise’s Day.
Helen, who was expected to co to retrieve the ‘Rose Brooch’ imdiately, had been surprisingly quiet…
“…Estelle didn’t co today either.”
“Right…”
Estelle still hadn’t attended school.
The horoom teacher claid Estelle was physically unwell and would be absent for a few days, but it was obviously a lie.
“….”
Looking at Estelle’s empty seat filled my heart with unease.
‘…Estelle.’
Swoosh-
I touched my forehead with my hand, but after receiving ‘healing’, the wound had vanished without a trace.
I desperately wanted to visit Estelle, but her absence from school likely ant she needed ti alone.
I didn’t want to inadvertently remind her of that day’s mories and cause her more distress.
“Hey… Ian.”
“Yeah, Evelyn.”
“You said you had sothing important to tell this weekend. About that, I was wondering if we could po…”
Evelyn, who had swallowed her words, bit her lip and then sighed deeply.
“……sigh, it’s nothing. We are going on a date this weekend, right?”
“…Yeah, we should.”
Revealing my harem plan to Evelyn was not a decision made lightly.
If I postponed it now, I wasn’t sure when I’d muster the courage again.
“Sigh… Okay.”
Seeing Evelyn sigh again while looking at Estelle’s empty seat made my heart heavy.
‘…Let’s focus on Evelyn for now.’
Even if I beca aware of my feelings for Estelle, we were still just ‘classmates’.
Evelyn was what mattered to now.
Sunday.
“Oh, you’re here?”
She seed not to understand what I ant for a mont and looked at blankly…
And then, for the second ti in my life, she gave a sincere slap.
