chapter 23
23 – Episode 23 Madman
As usual, Cadian turned around. But at this moment, I looked back even more.
‘Is the impact of dressing up too great?’
Otherwise, there is no way I could act like this.
Stella was aware that Cadian was a madman. In the first place, most of the
people who look interesting to her are crazy people.
And the Ministry of Magic itself was so full of crazy people that there were
rumors in the imperial court that it was a gathering place for crazy people. So,
he is the second-in-command after the minister. It was not surprising that the
Deputy Minister of Magic, Cadian, had turned away.
But that too has its degrees.
“I’m fine. So, will you accept my confession?”
Clear and clear eyes met purple eyes. The two eyes intertwined and conveyed an
unspoken will.
Without the slightest hesitation, the tense eye-to-eye fight made the audience
nervous.
The silence falls deep. Yohane remembers! I closed my open mouth again.
He fixed his gaze on his older brother, who was reaching out his hand in
silence.
‘T knew my brother… was crazy, but…’
Yohane admits that his older brother is crazy. I just didn’t know he was this
crazy.
Confessing to someone dressed as a man while dressing as a woman?
Watching his brother become a dark history forever… Even though Yohane’s mouth
was open, his hand was steadily recording all of his brother’s actions with a
video recorder.
The crowd… fell silent for a moment.
The students looked at the two cross-dressing participants in front of them and
looked with anticipation.
Will you receive it? will you not receive
in the audience’s expectations.
Stella parted her lips slowly. The corners of her mouth twisted.
“go away.”
The result of the confession was, of course, a failure.
There is a lot of irritated emotion in the distorted eyes. Cadian let out a sigh
of relief as she saw Her Highness annoyed by the princess.
If you really do get it… then… well… let’s not imagine it.
Cadian put on an imaginary brake.
He had no interest in imagining things that would never happen.
Especially if that doesn’t make sense.
—Uh… Unfortunately, Miss Cadian was dumped.
The emcee’s awkward tone echoed in the quiet auditorium.

Crimson was on her way back to her lodgings after meeting and having a few
conversations with President William because of Her Highness’s unexpected
overnight schedule.
He has excellent skills as a knight, and even when he does not use mana, his
physical ability is different from that of ordinary people.
His eagle- like sharp eyes spotted His Highness the Prince trudging far away.
Crimson approached His Highness the Prince.
“majesty.”
“Ah… Crimson…”
The prince’s face was seriously injured. His muscles slightly atrophied and his
expression stiffened a little, as if he had seen something surprising he had
never imagined.
“Did something happen?”
Chris pursed his lips.
“No, nothing.”
It seemed like nothing, but Crimson read the look in his eyes saying ‘don’t ask
me any more’ and closed his mouth.
Chris still couldn’t get out of the shock.
It doesn’t matter to him that a woman dresses as a man.
I enjoyed watching him too, and I don’t have any thoughts about men’s or women’s
clothing.
However, it was a bit of a shock for her sister and her family.
What kind of person was your sister?
Chris was able to rise to the emperor’s seat if he wanted to.
Currently, all marquesses in the empire have been demoted to counts, and dukes
have chosen to be neutral rather than support their sister.
So, by attracting them, Chris could easily overtake his sister and become
emperor.
However, Chris didn’t and he deliberately went to the academy to make it easier
for his sister to build a foundation in the imperial family.
‘Sister is arrogant, indolent, lazy, and bored, but she has the qualities of a
better emperor than me.’
The fact that His Majesty the Father is actively supporting his sister
indirectly shows that he has the qualities of a better king than he does.
Chris concedes. To him, a sister was an object of admiration, envy, and
admiration.
You can do it if you want, and if you don’t want to, you don’t. Watching his
sister walk such a path of chaos, Chris was sometimes worried, but he was in awe
of his sister who walked such a path.
however…
‘Crossdressing.’’
It was the moment when his long-standing admiration was broken.
For a moment, he even thought that he had invited his sister to the festival.
“Crimson.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“I’ll go in first, so when my sister comes later, she’ll guide you well.”
“All right.”
Not meeting him personally was a measure for his mental health, but at the same
time, it was a consideration for his sister.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to control my expression the moment
I ran into her. Then your sister will know it naturally, so what would you think
if your sister said that your younger sister saw you dressed as a man?
He was very considerate of his sister, very different from anyone who might be
making fun of his brother.
“Lady Stella. Here is the video recorder.”
“Good save.”
Unlike Stella’s younger brother, Cadian’s younger brother. Yohane flirted with
her while watching the video stored in the video recorder.
“Come here Cadian and take a look at this.”
Stella casually called Cadian.
her eyes narrowed
After his confession, Cadian…
A momentary sense of shame came rushing in and it turned white.
From his mouth… pure white spirits spewed out.

The intelligence department is full of people on the verge of evolving into
undead.
According to the Imperial Labor Law, the working hours per day were set at just
8 hours. But working 8 hours a day is like a fantasy or a dream for them.
On average, the intelligence department works 16 hours a day as standard, 26
hours a day, and works 24 hours at least once a week.
Because of this, the sweet smell of the tonic and the smell of caffeine did not
dry out in their mouths, and they were spending the day in a tower piled with
papers.
Deputy Minister of Information Leon struggles with sore eyes and a brain that
doesn’t roll as if it wasn’t properly oiled. He still got hope that he was
leaving work early today.
“If I keep going like this, I will be able to sleep for 8 hours today.”
I’ve only slept 8 hours in total over the past three days. As the Minister of
Information was dispatched to the outside world, he was in charge of handling
all the overdue work, so Leone was busy without blinking his eyes.
After working like that for three days, sleeping half as much as other members
of the intelligence department, I finally started to see the end. In the rush of
hope, Leon made a resolution to go to bed early today without fail.
“Deputy Minister.”
Director of Intelligence Unit 5 approached him. In my hand, I don’t have a thick
wad of papers together as always.
“What’s going on?”
Leon narrowed his eyes. The work of the intelligence department is to collect,
organize, and weave information, and to establish all the things that are
revealed in the information.
So, it is a job that must always be accompanied by thick documents
unconditionally, but Director 5 did not bring any documents.
This meant that there was information to be conveyed orally.
“The Ministry of Magic has requested assistance.”
“Ministry of Magic?”
Unexpectedly, at the end, Rion expresses her curiosity. As he remembered, the
Ministry of Magic was now divided into two branches. The Ministry of Magic in
the Abyss and the Ministry of Magic in the Islands.
“The Ministry of Magic on the bottomless pit is in danger of annihilation.”
Leon’s face visibly hardened.
he asked urgently.
“Is this information clear?”
“Yes. I’m sure.”
He grabbed his throbbing head. Where is the Ministry of Magic?
It is said to be the most lively and pleasant department among all departments,
but the reality is different. It is the department of madmen.
Until that incident three years ago, the Ministry of Magic was not the Ministry
of Magic, but the Royal Guard, the royal hunters.
It was re-established as the Ministry of Magic two years ago after its power was
cut in half due to the incident at the time, but it is full of people who are
unmatched enough to be called hunters, not the hounds of the imperial family.
But the majority of those departments are on the brink of extinction.
why? why?
In response to the Vice Minister of Information’s question, Director 5 explained
in detail.
“It is said that the Ministry of Magic was attacked at the 3rd base while trying
to escape from being besieged by warlocks.”
“In the abyss… I’m sure most of the Ministry of Magic went there, right?”
“All the team leaders, including the manager and director 3, have gone.”
Leon felt the pain as if someone was hitting him in the back of the head. Again,
the Ministry of Magic is a department of madmen.
I don’t know what will happen if they say that most of my co-workers are dead.
Since the Ministry of Magic is full of only those who have a grudge against
war locks, it is possible that the case of ‘Deputy Minister Cadian’s defeat and
beheading of warlocks’ a year ago might happen again.
First of all, Leone confirmed the most important fact.
“Does the Ministry of Magic know about this?”
“It seems you don’t know yet.”
Director 5’s answer made Leon relieved.
I don’t know why the request for support only reached the Ministry of
Intelligence, but if the request for support went to the Ministry of Magic, they
would have jumped in without hesitation by now.
“Then keep quiet.”
To think that this would happen when the Minister of Information was absent.
Feeling that he will not be able to avoid working overtime today, Leon headed to
the palace where His Majesty the Emperor was staying.
In his hand, all the information about the Ministry of Magic’s annihilation
crisis organized by Director 5 was written down.
