After saying that, Sith turned around and walked out of the classroom without any hesitation.

For some reason, I wondered if he had finally developed little liking for me by visiting my classroom, but it was just to interrogate me!

There’s no way he can know I used a secret spell, so he probably assume someone broke down the door and stole Anna away.

Ah, but I can’t say that I used a secret spell…

The secret incantation is the secret method for Vin and the crown prince to overcome adversity in the future, but wouldn’t the development be greatly misaligned if this was revealed?

Damn, Is it completely out of the question to be liked now?

“Haaa…”

“I can’t sleep because my heart is pounding these days.”

While sighing in the dark, I heard Callie** chatter from afar. She hangs out at other places because I don’t play with her these days.

“Three days left. How the hell am I going to wait until then?”

“Ahh, three whole days.”

What are you talking about…. ah, the founding(?) festival.

The academy has been noisy the past few days. For these children who go through the same routine every day, a special event is like rain during a drought.

“I really want to live…haaa.”

Whatever, I just let out a deep sigh as I lay face down on my desk. Life ahead felt bleak.

As if my behavior was quite unusual for a 13-year-old, the prince sitting in the front seat started talking to me in a very kind voice.

“Are you sick anywhere? Why do you look like you’re about to die? Well, if that’s the case, I’d be happy.”

It was clearly not worry, but a warning.

”Unless you die first, I will kill you’……

My relationship with Sith definitely doesn’t show any signs of getting better, I don’t know why the characters are oddly different from the original work, and I can’t say I want to break my engagement with Vin, and the prince already wants to kill me!

If nothing happens, and this continues, it is certain that I would be executed according to the original story, no matter what.

Is there really no other way but to run away?

…But, even if I ran away, what the hell would I do?

If I ran away with this 13-year-old body, I would be caught by the marquis’ private knights before leaving the capital.

The end would most certainly be a trip to Dr. Saint’s hospital.

“When the founding festival is over, two carriages will be sent to the northern and the southern ends! I really look forward to that!”

“Yes! I never get tired of seeing the enchanted carriage flying through the sky every year.”

“That’s it!”

I jumped up from my seat.

Forgotten information winds around my head, ideas flash with wings of hope.

Blue eyes in the front seat looked at me for a moment and fell.

The wind blowing from outside stirred his silver hair.

After three days, the founding festival finally arrived.

Lately, there has been a series of hectic incidents that have weakened my sense of presence.

The graduation exam.

Although my presence weakened, I didn’t neglect my preparations.

For two months after I lost to Rapel Isdon, I had been working hard. Thanks to that, my skills were considerably improved compared to before.

Even so, it’s still a tree branch I’m using.

In the midst of this, the date of the graduation exam was set for tomorrow. Thanks to it, I was suffering in nervousness these days.

Tomorrow is the exam, but I still don’t have the courage to raise my sword.

I bought a sword, but I can’t pick it up….damn it!

I think I can do it if I have a little more courage, but that ‘a little more courage’ is not there!

It probably because of the pressure knowing that there is not much time until the exam.

But the pressure will soon go away.

Why? Because I changed my mind!

I decided not to take the test and just run away.

Jobs and something like that, I can do it!

I won’t be going to the academy forever anyway!

“Student Irillin Heather, please sit in seat 56.”

Today is the last time I will be treated like a student.

By the time the founding festival comes to an end, I won’t be here.

But there was still work to be done here .

It was a rather hasty plan, so I didn’t have enough funds to run away.

That’s why I applied to participate in the Konkuk International Art Contest, which I had been thinking about earlier.

If I can win a prize in this competition, it will be a great addition to my finances.

I hoped that would be the case, and the field I chose, of course, was the writing side.

Not long after the students were seated, a person who seemed to be the supervisor entered. Then the topic was announced.

“The subject is: Love, family, magic, dreams, country.”

They are all abstract subjects.

Hmm, out of all of them, love is probably the easiest.

It is because I had the strength to read numerous BL novels.

Is our BL sub ball doing well? I glanced around and saw the painting booth right next to mine.

However, no matter how much I looked, Sith was nowhere to be seen.

What? Could it be that you didn’t participate?

Since Anna ran away, there is no need to win the prize…?

“Student over there, focus on your writing.”

“Ah, yes. Sorry.”

The supervisor pointed at me, who was blankly looking at the painting booth.

Phew, I’m glad you didn’t suspect me of cheating. For no, I need to focus on my wwork.

Love…

Among them, the story I will talk about is……

That’s it!

Immediately after the competition, I couldn’t help but be disappointed.

Results are announced, not on the same day, but after a week.

In other words, the prize money will be received in a week.

In a week, I won’t be here.

I definitely have a reason to run away today.

Thus, my plan to add to my escape fund was in vain.

All I got was a copy of what I wrote in the contest.

It’s a very convenient world. There is no photocopier, but magic copies are made…

If I run away, I will not be able to enjoy this comfort and convenience.

But if I don’t run away….

I’m afraid of my approaching death.

“Sh*t!”

Inadvertently, profanity came out. Then the person in front of me who was leaving the competition site paused and stopped.

It was a man who wrapped his entire body in a black robe.

I remembered because he was a person who participated in the writing section earlier. He was dressed quite strikingly.

However, the person who stopped suddenly turned his head in my direction.

The I saw the face which was not covered by the robe.

A few strand of hair showed from under the robe and the color of his eyes, the same as mine.

It was a very familair color.

“Sith? Why are you here?”

“…You are……”

“Me? Of course, I came to participate in the competition.”

“Me too.”

“Huh? But weren’t you just at the writing booth? Why did you participate in the writing section instead of the drawing section?”

“Because what I wanted to participate in, was the writing section in the first place.”

…So not a picture, but a text?

Ah, I can understand why you said that you wouldn’t participate in the compeition in front of me.

“Sith, do you want to enter the drawing contest?”

“…What are you talking about? No.”

Because I only asked about ‘drawing’.

Since he has a talent for drawing, I thought that if he went out, he would definitely be painting……

Are you also interested in writing?

How many hidden settings does he have?

“Are you good at writing?”

“Hm.”

Surprisingly, Sith responded immediately.

Sith, who was not confident in everything and was always busy running away.

“You sound pretty confident.”

“Of course. I may not know anything else, but I have no choice but to be the best in the world when it comes to writing.”

….I’m speechless.

Was Sith Heather the kind of person who could say such a silly thing?

Somehow, it seems like his personality has changed?

“You are weird. Did you fall down the side of the road.”

“It feels weird to hear from a weird kid that I’m weird.”

“Ah, stop talking weird. I’ll become weird too.”

“You’re the one who is always saying strange things. Go down to the banquet hall, our parents are waiting for you.”

“And you?”

“I have to go too. I mean, you go first. Haaa, we’re suppose to go together..?”

As he took off his robe and put it on his arm, Sith urged with his eyes as if he was not going to do anything.

Oh, something is definitely strange…

But I don’t know what that something is.

Oh, let’s stop worrying. If I keep thinking about it, he’ll be strange again(?).

I hurriedly took the lead.

After a while, I heard the sound of Sith following me.

This strange position(?) continued all the way to the banquet hall.

I secretly admired Sith, who was following me from behind

“Oh my god(?), this is really great…)”[T/n: Pretty sure this is wrong lmao]

The banquet hall which I saw for the first time in my life, was more ostentatious than I thought.

There was no place without jewels, and the walls were filled with paintings and decorations without any gaps.

Wow, even selling just one of these would be a huge addition to my getaway fund…!

“Oh my god??”

When did you come closer?! Sith, who was standing right behind me asked.

Oops, that’s not used here.

I hurriedly rectified it.

“It’s a popular swearword these days, don’t you know?”

“…Ha”

Sith snorted as if it was absurd.

Well, it’s probably absurd to someone who doesn’t even know this word…

T/n: I just noticed a site that has my translation, word for word. *sigh* I’m not particularly against it, but it’s sort of sad that I take about 3 hours of my time to translate, and a quick copy and paste and mAgIc a whole chapter over there…
