Chapter 429 Battle for Dmitri (5)
Actually, Lauren Dmitri’s attack has been going on for a long time.
when several months ago.
The starting point of the problem was a professor.
Professor Bradley, who belonged to the same Cairo Royal Academy as Henry Albert and took charge of the education of the students, showed a suspicious look one day.
“Professor Henry. Just curious, are you really dating Roman Dmitry? No, if you listen to the story of the Southern Front, you seem to have played a key role, but during your time here at the royal academy, you never had a direct exchange. I’m not denying everything you’ve experienced, but I’m just saying that I think you were one of the people who were there.”
Bradley was the quintessential aristocrat.
Henry Albert, who considered himself noble, was not very happy with Henry Albert’s success based on the experience of the Southern Front.
Come to think of it, there were actually a lot of questions.
If it was such an important role that he was in charge of direct communication with the Cairo royal family, wouldn’t it be right to interact with the Dmitry family even after the war?
Once I thought it was suspicious, there were not one or two suspicious things.
One question raised.
The lights went out on fire.
Henry Albert could not just let go of a situation where someone doubted him.
‘If my bottom line is revealed because of Professor Bradley. It’s just an instant to fall as quickly as I’ve risen to this place.’
Professor Bradley’s words.
It wasn’t a mistake.
In fact, Henry Albert was nothing more than nothing, and if the Dmitri family were asked about this, their authority as a professor would fall to the ground at once.
In fact, he wasn’t even lying.
Wasn’t it true that he was on the southern front, just a little exaggerated based on what he clearly experienced.
However, it was clear that it would become a problem if the truth was revealed beyond those problems.
I rolled my head.
How can we overcome this crisis?
What should he do to shake off people’s doubts and keep this position?
The trouble deepened.
Then eventually.
came to one conclusion.
‘Professor Bradley’s suspicion of me stemmed from the fact that I had no interaction with Dmitri and I had no contact with them. If it is confirmed that I am directly related to the Dmitri family, which is the current trend, then no matter what the truth is, they will not bother to touch me.’
Even then, Dmitry was not in an imperial position.
Although the situation on the continent was still in chaos, it was an undeniable fact that Dmitri was leading the new game as Henry Albert thought.
In particular, Dmitry’s influence in Cairo was absolute.
Since the King of Cairo actively followed Dmitri, it was necessary to prove this opportunity.
‘The method is simple. I don’t want my relationship with Dmitri to end as a fleeting connection on the southern front, but to make it rooted in the life of this Henry Albert.’
The conclusion is right.
It was an in-law’s kite through marriage.
There was no surer method than that that no one dared to question.

The next day.
Henry Albert’s class was conducted.
In the sight of the students arriving one after another, Henry Albert hid his sinister intentions.
‘Never let my intentions be found out. If you push for an arranged marriage in the name of the Albert family, you will surely be rejected considering the current status of the Dmitri family. There is no other way to bring Albert and Dmitri together than to pursue a natural encounter. A man and a woman must strongly assert their feelings for each other so that they will seriously contemplate joining the Albert family, apart from practical gains.’
with stupid words.
The class didn’t match.
Unlike the Albert family, which is going downhill even in Cairo, isn’t Dmitri a family that the influential people of each country will attack if he expresses his intention to marry?
Introducing an arranged marriage was a really stupid move.
Knowing his place, Henry Albert approached the problem in an unusual way.
All students were seated.
Henry Albert, who sneakily checked Lauren Dmitri’s appearance, proceeded with the class with a face that was no different from usual.
“I will start class from now on.”
subject of the lesson.
Those were the qualities of a hero.
As articles analyzing Roman Dmitri became popular, classes were conducted on topics related to him.
“The existence of a hero is not simply born under special circumstances. Roman Dmitri rose to prominence as a hero during the war on the southern front, which no one expected, but the true starting point is to look at his life before that. The Blood Fang Incident. When people said that it was necessary to touch them and take the damage, Roman Dmitri boldly attacked their headquarters and struck them down in one blow. Same situation, same problem, but different response. That’s what a hero is… … .”
It is safe to say that the class was from the point of view of the omniscient Roman Dmitri.
He dealt with his life and actively saved elements that students would be interested in.
Suddenly.
Class has reached its end.
Henry Albert, who finished all the lessons he had prepared, naturally put his plan into action.
“Today’s class will end with this. There are additional group assignments. Based on today’s lesson, you can research historical figures such as Roman Dmitry who have lived the lives of heroes. It may or may not be a person everyone knows. Then we will present each group. Group A is… … Lauren Dmitri and Emma Iris are in Group F. Everyone has worked hard.”
I smiled.
It was a very natural flow.
Emma Iris in Group F with Lauren Dmitri.
She was Henry Albert’s cousin, and his dearly beloved sister.
* * *
Henry Albert and Lauren Dmitri.
The two were quite close.
Henry Albert listened to Lauren Dmitri’s concerns and maintained a relationship enough to meet often outside of class.
So it wasn’t unusual for the two of them to have dinner together.
Just in time, Lauren Dmitri showed good grades at the academy, so we made a dinner appointment to celebrate it.
“Thank you every time. I think I was able to get good grades thanks to the professor.”
“okay? If you think about it like that, I’m really happy hahaha.”
I laughed heartily.
Henry Albert laughed heartily at the fact that Lauren Dmitri thought of him as special.
Leave some kind of plan.
Lauren Dmitri was such a pretty kid.
In fact, even if he wasn’t the third son of the Dmitry family, he would have seriously considered an arranged marriage because he had the right values and his usual behavior.
However, rather, the value of the name Dmitry held back his ankles.
It was a mountain that the Albert family could not dare to climb, so it could not be approached by ordinary means.
“I am proud of the food quality of the restaurant we go to now. It’s a place that’s gaining quite a reputation for its delicious food in Cairo these days, so order everything you want to eat. I am capable of that.”
I couldn’t find the appearance of the class.
Ball and company were completely different.
Still, as a professor, he pursued the most serious appearance, but he did not maintain the same attitude as in class even in private.
In fact, the image I show now is more like myself.
Henry Albert was a bit immature and sleazy, but he learned how to live publicly as he was swept away by the flow of time.
yet.
arrived at the restaurant.
I moved to my reserved seat and ordered the chef’s special course according to the employee’s recommendation.
And while exchanging a light conversation, a woman passing by opened her eyes wide and said.
“Oh my brother Henry?!”
“Elena?”
It’s like we met by chance.
It was a rigged encounter from start to finish.
Elena, the daughter of Henry Albert’s uncle, Viscount Vale, smiled and said something planned.
“… this person is?”
“Ah, the disciple I teach. Lauren Dmitri is the third son of the Dmitri family you know. And this is Elena Frank. It has the same name as the Frankish kingdom, but it is my uncle’s family.”
A brief self-introduction at first.
and natural synthetics.
In this way, Elena Frank and Lauren Dmitri had a pleasant meal while receiving Henry Albert’s warm gaze.
* * *
Henry Albert’s plan was a long game.
I did not reveal my intention hastily, and each time I made a place to introduce a different woman in a new environment.
It was intentional.
Even Henry Albert did not know Lauren Dmitri’s taste properly, so he threw rice cakes countless times, thinking that it might take a while.
But still no results.
In a situation where Rodwell Dmitri is emerging as the center of the topic, even Henry Albert began to feel uneasy.
for that reason.
He abused his authority as a professor.
I called in Lauren Dmitri for a personal consultation and asked if there were any recent concerns.
‘It’s a natural flow. Who would think it strange that a professor would find out what a student is struggling with?’
The intention was on point.
Lauren Dmitri showed a slight hesitation, then let out a deep sigh and said what she had been thinking about.
“… uh huh Actually, I’m worried because there are a lot of people who intentionally approach me lately. I understand that Dmitri is interested in me as his circumstances change, but since he is openly pursuing an arranged marriage, it is a little uncomfortable.”
Henry Albert’s eyes changed.
There are people who dare to look at Lauren Dmitri instead of herself.
said Henry Albert in the most calm tone possible.
“Lauren. As you said, Dmitri has become an empire, and interest in you is bound to grow day by day. It has become a reality that Lauren Dmitri has to accept on a daily basis. What I want to tell you is that you don’t have to be swayed by their intentions. If there is someone who has approached you like that, you need to open your heart, but if not, you have the qualifications and strength to draw the line. It’s the opposite of accepting everything even if you don’t agree with it.”
I had to stop completely closing the door of my heart.
Wouldn’t that make your plan a success?
“Actually, it is true that in an aristocratic society, your age is a time when you should start thinking about getting married. So rather than people who intentionally approach you, first look around you. In fact, you may not be aware of it yourself, but there may already be someone you like rationally.”
properly maintained the line.
To such a level that he can appeal to his plan while sincerely consulting on Lauren Dmitri’s concerns.
Lauren Dmitri showed a much lighter expression.
It seemed that the problem had been resolved.
“Thank you every time. Like the professor said, I will try to be honest with my feelings without limiting my thoughts.”
“okay. Shall we go for lunch to commemorate our long-awaited meeting?”
“… I’m sorry. I really want to eat with you, but I made an appointment before coming here.”
The tip has come.
Henry Albert asked.
“If there is a prior agreement, there is nothing you can do about it. By the way, who are you dating?”
“Amy! I said I would serve lunch first because I had recently received help.”
Moment.
Henry Albert cheered inwardly.
who is amy
She was my eighth cousin who naturally made me meet Lauren Dmitri, and I was personally looking forward to her because she was really pretty, gentle, and had a kind heart.
However, he made a personal appointment with Amy without even intending to.
It was a relationship that was formed really naturally, so he clenched his fists without realizing it.
Unlike lies.
Outwardly, he smiled.
“Yes, have a good time.”
He suppressed his excited voice.
Henry Albert was not unaware that it was still too early to celebrate.
* * *
It was a happy day.
Henry Albert’s future as a professor was bright, and he couldn’t hide his expectations from the news that Lauren Dmitri and Amy met often.
If this is the case, if you really have a relationship with your in-laws.
With Dmitri on his back, there will be no one who will oppose him beyond Cairo, even in the entire Salamander continent.
but.
There were curves in a person’s life.
After class, I was going to the office, and Professor Bradley, who I met on the way, said with a sly smile.
“Professor Henry. Did you hear the news? This time, for cultural exchange between Dmitri and Cairo, Chris, the flash of Dmitri, visits the academy himself. Professor Henry, who personally crossed the life and death juncture with Knight Chris on the battlefield, would of course be able to introduce him to us, right? Of course, I’m not asking to set up a separate seat for you, but I’d like to ask for a simple name after the seat is over.”
at that point.
My heart sank.
Cold sweat ran down my back, but I couldn’t resist because I knew Professor Bradley’s intentions.
‘If I evade this meeting, Professor Bradley will be sure and try to lash out at me.’
Is that why?
He uttered the words involuntarily.
“Of course. Like Professor Bradley said, we went through life and death together.
I laughed awkwardly.
D-3 days until Chris visit.
Henry Albert’s head began to move busily at the biggest juncture in his life, which had been going smoothly.
