chapter 26
26 – cover fraud
[Kajidoom Academy starts issuing pamphlets modeled on Prince Regid!]
[This portrait is different from usual… ? Continental history, Jeong Shim-hwa, boasting even more amazing beauty!]
[Initial distribution to bookstores in major cities on the continent! However, due to the rise of resellers, there are reports of situations where people who really need it can’t get it… ]
[pamphlet every day classy phenomenon. Yamche people buy pamphlets and sell them at auction houses… .]
[Where have all the pamphlets gone? In fear of becoming a ‘fantastic pamphlet’, a long line is made to get it. “I stood in line with me from the night before”]
“Tsk!”
Prince Milo of Brickell Kingdom clicked his tongue.
He crumpled up the newspaper and threw it back.
The portrait painter in front of him said in a troubled voice.
“Prince, if you move so badly while drawing… .”
“Rather, isn’t it enough if you draw well! If you give me more money than the market price, I’ll take care of it even if you don’t tell me!”
The painter hurriedly lowered his head at Prince Milo’s annoyed voice.
“Yes, yes! That’s right. Soin will take care of it and draw it nicely.”
The painter groaned and began frantically playing with his brush.
In fact, it is not necessary for the subject to remain still throughout the process of painting the portrait.
Besides, Prince Milo was even more so.
The painter glanced sideways at Prince Milo and thought to himself.
‘Anyway, I’ll be able to draw it much more beautified as usual.’
It was only necessary to decorate more than the original version, like a wonderful ideal prince who attracts women’s attention.
I felt a little remorse, but I tried to make an excuse.
‘Everyone else is doing this anyway, so what?’
Meanwhile… , Prince Milo was grinding his teeth thinking of Regid.
To be honest, he didn’t like the word ‘continental history’.
‘If he’s the most handsome man on the continent, he’s handsome. Chit!’
I don’t like all of Continental History except myself.
However, Prince Regid felt especially like a thorn in the eye.
Apparently, his homeland, the Kingdom of Brickell, was inferior to the Kazidum Empire.
In addition, there is a clear difference between the status of a prince and a prince!
All of this caused extreme stress for Prince Milo.
Was it because of such an inferiority complex?
For a long time, he had been secretly giving back money to reporters working in Kazidum to paint Regid’s portrait much uglier.
‘I must never lose to him!’
He suddenly remembered something and started rummaging around the table.
‘Come to think of it… .’
Soon, he was holding the Kazidum Academy pamphlet he had obtained a while ago.
‘Hey, did you spend some money this time?’
As we just saw, a portrait is a method in which the subject’s appearance varies greatly depending on the weight of the purse.
Apparently, this time he used a painter hired by the Empire himself.
Quite a bit more than usual… No, the portrait came out as well as the eyes of an ant.
‘How much money did you pay the painter?’
He clicked his tongue with an annoyed face.
‘Sheesh. Should I get a new, more expensive painter?’
Prince Milo glared disgruntledly at the painter in front of him.
* * *
A small kingdom somewhere on the continent.
A certain viscount Youngji.
There, the lord’s family had a big incident not too long ago.
The Sky Tower tokens came to mind simultaneously from the lord’s two twin daughters.
On a dark night, two twin sisters are sitting across from each other on a wide bed.
They were discussing something with serious faces.
On the bed, pamphlets of various academies that were established and planned to be established in various parts of the continent were strewn about.
Unfortunately, the kingdom they belonged to didn’t have a sky tower, so they had to choose one of the other countries to leave.
In the meantime, the academy, which provides systematic education and lodging, was a very attractive story.
In addition, if you enter there, there will be plenty of young talents in the same situation, so it is a chance to kill two birds with one stone to build a personal network.
“sister. Where are you going?”
Diana, her twin sister with curly orange hair, asked her sister, Tiana.
“Um… .”
My older sister Tiana, who had the same face, grunted at the pamphlet lying on the bed with her arms crossed.
The three academies that were finally picked and picked.
Coincidentally, in those three pamphlets, three of the current continental history paintings were adorning the cover as models.
『Prince Milo, ‘Continental History Beauty’ of Brickell Kingdom.』
『The City-State Alliance’s ‘Continental History and Color’ Prince Gadin.』
『Prince Regid of the ‘Continental History of Continental History’ Jeongsimhwa of the Kazidum Empire.』
For reference, the other one did not participate as a model this time, probably because it was a mystical concept from the beginning.
My sister Tiana carefully examined the men on the three covers as if licking them one by one.
‘First of all, Prince Milo, who is ‘beautiful’… .’
He is a handsome man who feels as if he embodies the feeling that a gorgeous royal prince is like this.
He has a confident and arrogant face unique to the royal family, but he is never hateful.
Its splendid beauty greatly stimulates the admiration and romance of women from all continents.
It is a figure worthy of the immovable popularity No. 1 among the current continental history.
‘next… .’
Tiana’s gaze shifted to another pamphlet.
‘Prince Gadin, the ‘sexy’ of the City-States Alliance… oops… !’
Her face turned red.
Prince Gadin… She boasted a tremendous amount of sexiness that could be conveyed even beyond the portrait.
As befits an open-minded city-state, his clothes are half-naked, bolder than common continental men.
That seductive sexiness was enough to make the lady’s heart pound at her age when she was in full swing.
“Sigh… .”
Tiana, her face flushed red, gently touched Prince Gadin’s body in the portrait.
‘First of all, this pamphlet is unconditionally classified as S-class!’
This portrait will be stored separately in her [S-class treasure chest].
For a long time to come, I will be indebted to many people from time to time.
Having enjoyed enough with her eyes for the time being, she turned her gaze to the side.
‘The last one is Prince Regid of Kazidum.’
Wow… .
She involuntarily let out a sigh of admiration.
This is a handsome man who seems to have realized the elegant figure of the traditional handsome man by maximizing it as it is.
It wasn’t overly flashy like Prince Milo, nor was it seductive like Prince Gadin, but its overall beauty easily overpowered the other two.
‘It’s really, really great… . This, too, is moved to the S-class box!’
Tiana stared at Regid’s pamphlet as if she had lost her mind, then belatedly startled.
‘It’s cool, it’s really cool. But the problem is… .’
She shook her head and asked, turning to her sister Diana.
“Who are you going to go to, or to which academy?”
As if he had already made up his mind, the younger brother reached out and picked up Regid’s pamphlet.
“As expected, Jeongsimhwaji. It’s rumored that he’s the coolest out of the three, and above all, he has a really nice heart.”
“Huh… You might want to reconsider… .”
“yes?”
“The portrait of Prince Regid posted there seems to have been fabricated.”
“What, what?!”
Tiana grinned at her sister Diana’s astonished gaze.
She quietly pulled out the [Class A treasure chest] hidden deep under the bed.
Tiana took out the album she had been scrapping from the box and opened it.
Cheer up—!
Soon, the portrait section of Prince Regid, which has been published in the newspaper, is spread over the bed.
“Now, can you see the difference?”
“… oh?!”
“yes. The portrait in this pamphlet is many times more beautified than the portrait of Prince Regid, which is usually published in newspapers!”
“Oh, that can’t be… .”
Her younger sister Diana’s gaze moved back and forth between the cover and clippings of the pamphlet.
“This is enough to make me the most handsome man in continental history… If you were a lady like me, you would have seen through all the lies, right? I admit that I was always cool, but I still feel like this manipulation was too much.”
At the words of the older sister, the eyes of the younger sister shook wildly.
“how? Are you still going to Kazidum Academy?”
My sister Diana pondered for a long time with conflicted eyes, and then joined… He nodded.
“Yeah, I’d still choose Prince Regid.”
“huh! Don’t regret it later.”
“divination… It’s fine… . A man is more of a heart than a face… .”
“It’s bullshit.”
“Ugh… .”
The older sister teased the younger brother like that for a while.
after a while
My sister Tiana pointed to another pamphlet.
There was a confident smile on his face.
“I’m going to choose Prince Milo. Because this side has been consistently cool without ups and downs. The discernment of a lady of my level can never be wrong. Kick kick.”
“Sister, are you going to Brickell Kingdom? Then we’re breaking up… .”
Tiana laughed softly at her sister’s words.
“Even twins can’t be together forever. Now we have to carve out our own lives.”
“That might be… .”
Tiana excitedly reached for the academy pamphlet with Prince Milo on the cover.
That moment.
stop!
Suddenly, as if she had a strange premonition, she stopped her arms.
‘… … … Surely this isn’t a cover fraud?’
But Tiana immediately shook her head.
It couldn’t be.
Because Prince Milo has always been cool without ups and downs!
It was the choice of one day that decided the future of the two twin sisters.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Kazidum Academy board meeting room.
I sighed quietly as I looked at the person sitting on one side of the conference table.
“sister… .”
The crown princess, Irene, was sitting proudly in the academy board seat.
My sister looked around at every aspect of the board of directors with sharp eyes.
“The cover of this academy pamphlet… … Princess Bon was very disappointed.”
The directors averted their gaze in a cold sweat and lowered their heads.
“How dare you put the prince of the imperial family in front of people’s eyes on your own like that… ”
I asked with an absurd look at my sister’s words.
“sister. Isn’t it just a portrait like the ones that are usually published in newspapers? We’ll know if it’s effective when we get applications from applicants sooner or later, but for now, the response isn’t too bad—”
bang!!
Sister Irene tapped the desk as always.
“So that’s the problem!”
“Yes?”
“Legid, portraits of your ‘true form’ are all over the continent… I, my own legid… .”
Sister Irene’s bleak gaze, different from usual, passed by the directors once again.
flinch.
They bowed their heads with pale faces.
“If you think about it, this academy is an important place to nurture talented people who will carry the future of the empire. From now on, I, the Crown Princess, will take care of the affairs of this place one by one.”
Benita, the dean and chair of the board, was also present here.
At her sister’s words, Benita slightly frowned as if she didn’t like it.
Apparently, the siblings of the imperial family parachuted into the academy’s operation one after another, so she had no choice but to be shy.
“Hwang Tae-nyeo. He must have been busy with construction work, but to follow his younger brother’s work and look after him… Prince Regid must be really happy.”
A subtle twist that anyone can see.
However, older sister Irene gave a big nod along with a smile on her face.
“Whoops. That’s what it says. It is true that Regid is happiest when he is in my arms.”
“… ?? Yes?”
Benita stared at her sister with blank eyes.
It’s a face that doesn’t understand what he heard right now.
‘It’s already a nerve war.’
I never thought that running the academy would be easy, but I never thought that my sister would step in.
‘It must mean that he was very concerned about me as a younger brother.’
At any time, in front of my sister’s deep affection for her younger brother, I can only feel grateful.
Even in the midst of this, sister Irene and dean Benita were fiercely stabbing each other with elegant and aristocratic language.
Seeing that, I was worried about running the academy in the future… .
‘It’s enough for my sister to ‘convince’ and defeat me when I’m in trouble.’
The dean, the dark elf Benita, also glanced at him.
‘If I close the distance with her step by step, there will be no major problems with the operation.’
It was also a deep trust based on the time and memories that Benita and I had built up alone in the previous episode.

The northern central city of Kiritel.
A city that exudes a cold and barren feeling at a glance.
At the center of it, a huge and majestic lord’s castle stood firm as if against the fierce north wind.
Yeongjuseong’s office.
A woman was sitting at a large desk inside.
Silver hair that shone brilliantly, reflecting the sunlight from the window.
Sharp and strong-looking eyes with blue eyes.
The two pointed ears make it easy to tell at a glance that she is an elf.
—Sanael, Grand Duke of the North.
She reads the contents of the letter in her hand in silence.
『… Like this, my older brother, Prince Regid, is very shy, so as a younger sister, I took the place of him and contacted him.”
『… A series of announcements related to the Goddess’ Oracle were distorted and expanded reproductions of my brother’s will… … Because of His Majesty’s unilateral coercion… 』
『… Regid’s older brother also expressed a subtle interest in the marriage with the Grand Duke of North Korea, even showing a flush… 』
『… Please don’t neglect my older brother’s innocence… … I sincerely hope that the Northern Grand Duke will save my brother from the precarious situation… 』
『I hope that the imperial family, the northern part, and both families can be married and promote the harmony of the empire… 』
『I look forward to a positive reply from the Grand Duke.』
『Kazidum Empire 2nd Princess Ekinne Kazidum Dream.』
“Huh… .”
Northern Grand Duke Sanael handed out a letter to someone by his side.
“Read it.”
“yes.”
The recipient of the letter was also a snowfield elf like the Grand Duke of the North, Sanael.
The overall atmosphere was similar to that of Sanael, but her eyes were a little softer and her pupils were shining bright, giving off an innocent impression.
—Cyrell, Princess of the North.
As the daughter of the Grand Duke of North Korea, she was suddenly revealed to the public a while ago and caused a stir.
Cheryl tilted her head as she read the letter.
She asks her mother with an innocent face.
“Mother. Are you marrying the prince? So from now on… ‘Legged Daddy’?”
