Chapter 404. Side note: Workaholics are difficult (1)
“Your Highness. Don’t you know that we have to live together properly for two months from now on?”
“yes.”
“But what is this?”
“this?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Lloyd nodded.
King Alicia’s office desk.
He poked at the papers lying on it.
King Alicia raised one eyebrow slightly as if it was nothing.
“It’s a schedule with Jim’s schedule for today organized.”
“Yes, I am well aware of that, Your Highness.”
“But what is the problem?”
“This schedule. Why can’t I see the white space?”
“That’s because the chief chamberlain wrote and uploaded it like that.”
“No, that’s not it….”
“If not?”
“I’m asking why Your Highness’s schedule is so tight that I can’t even see a gap where a needle can go through.”
“Hmm, isn’t the reason simple?”
King Alicia shrugged.
He replied as if it was really very natural.
“Because Jim has so much to do. So the schedule is tight. But this is nothing special to Jim.”
“then….”
“Jim lives like this every day.”
“Are you talking every day?”
“Yes.”
“Are you talking all day?”
“of course.”
“What about holidays?”
“What is a holiday?”
“…Big.”
Lloyd stopped tearing his eyes away.
Tears came to my eyes as I talked with the King’s sister from early morning.
It had to be.
chest full.
It was because I felt the destruction of the two-month camp training that I was currently promoting.
‘Wow. I’m going out like this.’
Lloyd felt a premonition of the plan’s explosion.
And now, I quickly summarized the situation I was in.
‘Whoa. Let’s stay calm. For now, let’s not panic. Let’s get a good grasp of the situation right now. therefore…I have to prevent the event that will trigger the restoration of fate. But what is the trigger that will bring about the restoration of fate this time? The King’s sister’s left arm. Because of the symptoms of paralysis of unknown cause. Eventually you’ll lose that arm. Then, my sister turns black. He will become a tyrant and cause an uproar.’
had to stop it
To that end, he had proposed a two-month training camp to the king’s sister.
‘Because I have to pass on the dark heart method. If you properly equip that simbeop, you’ll probably be able to heal the King’s sister’s left arm. Then, this phenomenon of restoration of fate can be prevented in advance.’
Thanks to that, I had to work very hard.
He said he had worked hard to persuade the king’s sister.
I was able to barely start the two-month training camp.
Fortunately, he overcame the expected concerns and opposition.
‘I proved that I am a sword master at the Noble House yesterday. It has been recognized that I am qualified as the king’s sister’s sparring partner. And my sister officially announced the two-month camp training.’
that was yesterday
Until then.
No, not until last night.
That the plan was half successful.
The only thing left to do is to train hard in the future.
I was so confident and sure that I had my own pink (?) training plan.
But what do you see now?
‘No, why is this sister’s schedule like this? This is broken into 10-minute units, interviews, reports, attendance at meetings, audiences, banquets, review of agendas, interviews for submissions, reviewing documents, and meeting again…Is this on today’s schedule? Aren’t they a month old?’
It was a very tight schedule.
Shall we compare?
It was like running a full-time college major lecture from the first time in the morning to the last time in the evening, or even at night, without a single break.
I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it.
So, this stupid question came out of nowhere.
“Your Highness, this…Really, is today’s schedule right for you?”
“of course. Wasn’t it too early?”
“….”
This sister is sincere.
What if this sister was not a sword master but an ordinary person?
To think that I was doing the schedule every day that would have made me sick from overwork or chronic fatigue.
‘Whoa. This is dangerous.’
Because I have to tie my hands with my sister?
Because I had to drag myself along with that schedule all this time?
no.
It wasn’t.
‘This doesn’t work. If you spend every day as it is on this schedule…It’s a camp, it’s equipped with a shady mental method, and it’s all going to go away.’
Literally, this was embarrassing.
It was a very tight schedule.
No matter how much he tied one hand with the king’s sister and hung out all day. Even if he guides the path of mana all the while and engraves it.
In the end, it was something that the King’s sister had to feel, respond to, and accept.
That was the purpose of the camp.
However, it seemed impossible to achieve that goal while digesting such a schedule.
‘Just looking at cancer, this isn’t it.’
In this way, there is no meaning to camp accommodation.
Lloyd, who came to a conclusion in his heart, said.
“Hmm, Your Highness?”
“Tell me.”
“This is a bit troublesome.”
“How?”
“The schedule is too tight.”
“Does that mean that it is so even if you carve the path of mana?”
“yes. That’s right, Your Highness.”
This is why conversations with the king’s sister are comfortable.
This one doesn’t even have to add a lot of explanation.
Knowing this side’s intentions and intentions, he carefully matches them.
Of course it still was.
“Hmm, Lloyd Frontera. I know what you mean.”
“Your surname is indescribable, Your Highness.”
“…Jim has not yet come to a conclusion.”
“I am truly sorry, Your Highness.”
“Tsk.”
“….”
“Anyway, I know what you are talking about. It must mean that the training camp to treat Jim’s left arm must come first. Is it right?”
“It is indeed so, Your Highness.”
“But that seems a bit difficult.”
“…yes?”
Lloyd was startled.
An embarrassing smile appeared on the king’s sister’s lips.
“No matter how important Jim’s health and arms are, this schedule is for everyone in the country, not just Jim.”
Cock-cock, she pointed her finger at the schedule on the desk.
she said forcefully.
“Innumerable nobles loyal to my royal family, subjects, citizens living in the capital, and everyone born and dying in my domain are affected by this schedule. Wouldn’t it be?”
“Here, haona….”
“no. This time, no matter how you say it, I won’t take objections. The more diligent Jim is, the busier he is, and the more tired he is from work, the more abundant, leisurely, and comfortable his people become. Wouldn’t it be?”
“However, even so….”
“Tsk. That it is the responsibility that rests on my shoulders and the weight of the crown. But do you defer that responsibility? Does that make sense?”
“Your Highness, just….”
“just?”
“It will only take two months. Couldn’t you just leave state affairs to competent officials for the time being?”
“No.”
“….”
“That will never happen.”
“….”
Wow, this sister cuts like a knife more than I thought.
Lloyd felt embarrassed inside.
realized at the same time.
‘This older sister was a workaholic.’
It is also a serious workaholic.
He wasn’t the type to stick to work just for personal success, honor, and wealth.
In a way, he was the most terrifying and resolutely diligent type, armed with a sense of mission to burn oneself for the public good of the society he was in.
‘Write. If that’s the case, I’m really leaving.’
Somehow, it was persuasion, and the ominous premonition that I wouldn’t go into it like a cauldron’s beef bone stock that had been boiled for 50 years bloomed thickly.
But I don’t know if I know the darkness of this side.
The king’s sister only gave orders to us with a solemn expression.
“Hey Lloyd Frontera. You study and research further.”
“yes?”
“A trick to reliably pass on the dark mind to Jim even while digesting this schedule.”
“….”
You’d rather be running a marathon while blowing the recorder.
Or bungee jumping and eating without spilling a single drop of soup.
‘Wow. driving me crazy.’
I really can’t.
this is something
Special measures are needed.
While this side feels a sense of urgency.
“Then let’s start with the first schedule. Please follow me.”
The king’s sister left the office.
The one who tied her hands was also dragged away.
That’s how the hectic schedule began.
♣
The day passed without hesitation.
The deep night finally came.
“…Hee hee hee hee hee.”
“Are you okay?”
“…Whoa, whoop, whoop.”
“I’m not okay.”
“I apologize.”
Lloyd took a deep breath.
It was so hard that I thought I was going to vomit.
No, I was dizzy.
“Whoa whoa.”
I threw myself on my furry bedroom chair.
It was a very tiring and hectic day.
‘therefore…Five meetings I attended while being dragged around by the King’s sister today. There were so many interviews, audiences, and things like that, I stopped counting them. Even the banquet runs twice. I get a lot of reports too. Then, as a bonus, we had an emergency meeting at the end.’
That’s all that happened in one day.
But what’s even more surprising.
“Tsk. Indeed, he is weak and frail. Could it be that I was so exhausted just because I had a little hectic day?”
“….”
“This is just a daily routine for Jim.”
“….”
It feels like it’s tingling all over your body.
That melancholy feeling increased dramatically when he saw the pile of papers occupying the huge desk in one corner of the bedroom.
“majesty.”
“Tell me.”
“I’m sure you’re referring to that document.”
“I know you well. Have you already tried it?”
“…Please save me.”
“Did you say Jim will kill you?”
“Isn’t that….”
“It’s just a matter of signing the papers.”
“Is this something I must do?”
“That’s why Jim is happy.”
“….”
Bad taste!
This is seriously bad taste!
Lloyd wanted to exclaim.
However, I had no choice but to swallow dry saliva when I saw the King’s sister smiling brightly at this side.
“If you do, I will wash my luggage for a while and come back. In the meantime, change your clothes too.”
“…Yes, Your Highness.”
The string that binds each other’s hands all day long.
It only takes a few moments to release it.
So now I have to wash my face and change into my pajamas.
Lloyd thought as he changed into pajamas provided by the royal family.
‘I’m sure it can’t go on like this.’
I really can’t.
While digesting that crazy schedule today.
He could hardly engrave the king’s sister with an astounding mental method.
Even if I try to move mana and direct it to her left arm.
I was swept away by my busy schedule and my concentration quickly flew away.
It was the same that the king’s sister, who was directly handling the schedule, could not properly focus on the mana induction of the dark mind.
‘It can’t be like this. There is no meaning of camp.’
You have to find a way somehow.
The king’s sister’s crazy schedule has to be shortened somehow.
What should I do to do that?
after congratulations
Washing my face in the pure gold washbasin brought by the maids.
Lloyd brought out all his troubles, his hair, his tricks, and his ideas.
I put them all together, shoved them into my brain, and shook them.
with various tricks.
numerous tricks.
More tricks were put together.
Among them, all those that were not feasible were weeded out.
He also brushed off plans to get killed by the king’s sister.
Then, at least, I had an idea to end with a few blows to the king’s sister.
‘good. Let’s do this.’
Lloyd made up his mind.
Just then, the king’s sister, who had changed into pajamas, returned to the bedroom.
“….”
It’s my first time seeing something like that.
That’s why I’ve never even thought about wearing sky blue silk pajamas.
But come to think of it, the pajamas I’m wearing are somehow like that….
‘It’s a set!’
Lloyd was shocked.
I only realized it belatedly.
The blue nightgown he is wearing now.
That was the King’s sister’s pink nightgown and set!
‘This isn’t a couple look.’
Could it be that there is an administrative error?
Did the royal ladies-in-waiting make a mistake?
How dare you wear the king and the couple’s pajamas.
Could it be that he would be in trouble for insulting the royal family or something?
Suddenly, a feeling of tension bloomed.
Lloyd looked at the king’s sister.
But who is the king?
“Why?”
“Oh no.”
“Hmm. Is it strange how Jim is dressed?”
“Not even that.”
“But your clothes are strange.”
“…yes?”
“No, I have to say it’s weird. It’s really insignificant and ugly. I didn’t know you could look like this wearing pajamas.”
“….”
Why are you dissing people all of a sudden?
Lloyd couldn’t find an answer and only twitched his fingers.
The King’s sister’s meaningful smile deepened.
“I need to change my pajamas for the royal guests. When Jim wore it, I didn’t pay attention to it because it looked good on him. Tsk tsk.”
“….”
Was it like that
Was this pajamas for the royal family?
‘Then the King’s sister just didn’t care too much and used pajamas for VIP guests.’
That means it wasn’t a couple pajamas.
It was fortunate.
But strangely, I also felt a little regretful.
‘…what do you say Am I crazy?’
Lloyd quickly brushed off his delusion.
And it reminded me of an idea I had a while ago.
‘Whoa. I guess that’s the only way.’
In any case, the King’s sister’s schedule must be shortened.
To do so, you have to change her workaholic tendencies.
Lloyd hides his desperate feelings.
I said to the king’s sister.
“Here you are, Your Highness?”
“hmm? Say it.”
“yes. Seong-eun is in awe. Your Highness. If I had to tell you one thing…Before you start signing the papers piled up here, I would like to make one suggestion to Your Highness.”
“proposal?”
“It is, Your Highness.”
“What is your suggestion?”
“Actually, I am too tired and sleepy.”
“But?”
“But, shouldn’t we somehow finish signing the documents Your Highness ordered us to do?”
“however?”
“I want to get rid of sleepiness for a while.”
“Drowsy?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“If you do, sparring?”
“That’s a bit….”
“then?”
“Your Highness, would you like to play a bet with me?”
“bet?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“If it’s a bet, will the winner go to the reward?”
“That’s right, Your Highness.”
“Interesting.”
“Your surname is indescribable, Your Highness.”
“If so, what are you asking for as a result of the bet to wake up from sleep?”
The king’s sister asked with a slight smile.
The atmosphere is not bad.
It’s a chance.
Lloyd spoke clearly, measuring the timing with the feeling of snatching prey.
“Her Highness, have you heard of Yaja Time?”
