Start drawing part 2 (7)

At Langmore's insistence, Inger was tucked back into bed and covered with a soft fur coat.

He drank the medicinal tea slowly, "Brother, I will go back to school after I recover."

The Royal Military School of Nantes was the school he attended.

In fact, it is a school for the children of nobles near the capital. Of course, there are also nobles from other remote territories who send their children to study there.

Alex was thrown into this school after returning to the capital.

This school is equivalent to the aristocratic circle of the younger generation. Of course, most of the students who attend are second sons and daughters. The school will train them to become military or political talents, and then send them back to serve as retainers or adjutants to the brothers and sisters who are the heirs of the family.

Because the eldest son and daughter receive inheritance education at home, and have already begun to take power and participate in politics at their age.

They will first learn some basic knowledge in school, and those with good grades will be directly promoted to graduate school for academic training depending on the situation.

School is the best place to learn about the world. You can also effectively use school educational resources, especially the library.

The Neka family library has a fairly rich collection of books, but after all, they are not a family that specializes in academic research.

"Don't worry about that. I've talked to the principal about your situation. He told you to just focus on your self-improvement. It's okay if you don't go this school year. Besides, what are you learning there? Aren't you just going there to have fun?"

"...Haha, brother, you really understand me..."

"And didn't Archbishop Bixi promise to teach you magic? You're still not satisfied. It's hard for her to spare the time."

"Well, I'm very grateful to her for saving my life, but she told me before that I don't have much talent for magic, so she lowered my expectations."

Lanmore rubbed his chin in confusion.

Bishop Bisi, who is known for her pickiness, would never agree to take him as an apprentice if he was not talented.

"Well... don't believe everything she says. That's how she is. She always says things that hurt people... Ah, don't say I said that."

Inger didn't seem to care about it at all, and he felt relieved.

"Come to think of it, I don't know why you suddenly want to learn magic."

Inger put down the medicinal tea, wiped his mouth, and said with a piece of candy in his mouth: "I want to learn some healing magic, just in case."

[In future wars, there will be countless opportunities for injury, and this will definitely come in handy. ]

Lanmore's heart was suddenly pierced, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold Inger's hand tightly.

"..." Lanmore's eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to say something but couldn't, choking with sobs.

Inger: "..."

"Brother, don't think too much. I just got interested suddenly."

The little griffon next to him suddenly ran over with his paws out and rubbed Inger's arm.

Then it quickly shrank into a fluffy snowball in his hand.

Inger picked it up gently with one hand and gave it a push, and the snowball rolled from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed.

When he was about to fall off the bed, Tuanzi spread out his wings and flew to Inger again, asking for another try.

Langmore: "...this is"

"Well, the little fellow I bought before, named Finie, is a bit playful."

Inger stroked its entire body, and finally touched Finie's chin and belly, looking very skilled.

The little griffon rolled over on the bed, closing his eyes and rolling around.

Lanmore couldn't help laughing as he watched his adorable brother teasing his pet with an expressionless face.

“You look happy.”

"Really? It's OK."

Inger threw out a fat fish, and the griffon took the food and ran to his lunch box to eat obediently.

"Let's get down to business."

Lanmore put away his brother mode and sat upright: "I have had preliminary contact with the eldest princess. She has this intention and has clearly shown an attitude of opposition to the Queen's faction."

Inger nodded. "Well, if they are not my biological children, they will not be mixed together."

Lanmore was stunned and his jaw dropped: "...Ah!"

Inger: "...Ah, I thought you all knew..."

Lanmore: "…What do you mean? Tell me more!"

The eldest princess Aura is actually the child of the previous queen. The current queen Lucia is a strong contender for the position of queen, but the current emperor Sufpi fell in love with the former queen Susan at first sight.

But the emperor was amorous by nature, and he also fell in love with the current empress, so he made the two of them empresses together.

Susan died of illness two years later, and the current Queen Lucia gave birth to a prince. This was announced to the outside world.

Later, no one mentioned Queen Susan anymore. She was originally the daughter of a second-rate noble family.

Two or three years later, Queen Lucia gave birth to two or three princes, but she discovered that the eldest prince was not a prince, but a princess.

As for the explanation, there are many different opinions. Some people even speculate that the eldest princess is a monster that is neither male nor female, so she made a mistake in the beginning.

It was obviously a rumor, and you didn't need to guess that it was the Queen's doing. But many people still believed it.

Because everyone who has seen the princess knows that she now looks more like a handsome prince than a princess.

But later in the comics it will be revealed that this princess has been fed a gender-distorting potion since she was a child, which is actually equivalent to injecting male hormones.

She continued to take the drug until she was a teenager, after which it became virtually impossible for her to develop, and she no longer had the ability to reproduce. She no longer had male secondary sexual characteristics, but all female characteristics and abilities were also erased.

It was not until she was in her teens that she accidentally learned her origins: she was actually the daughter of Queen Susan, not the current queen.

Queen Lucia was a cautious person, and she kept this matter secret from the outside world. So no one except herself knew her background.

But after the eldest princess grew up, she no longer bothered to pretend to be the queen.

Inger only told Lanmore vaguely, "Well, the eldest princess was born to Queen Susan, and Queen Lucia killed Queen Susan. It's normal that they don't have a good relationship."

Lanmore looked at his brother who suddenly revealed this shocking secret and didn't know how to react: "...how did you know that?"

Inger: "...I was poisoned and somehow gained the ability to predict the future."

Lanmore was struck by a second bolt of lightning.

Inger slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

[According to the usual comic book routine, it should be kept secret.]

He just refused.

Anyway, this is not true, I just use this as an excuse.

He knew very well that his family was trustworthy and would die for the protagonist.

So this is the best excuse to hide his own changes and seek help.

Prophecy can explain everything and save you a lot of trouble. Why not do it?

Lanmore assembled himself with difficulty, "…………I……I……" his tongue was tied.

After eating its fill, Finne pecked its wings and slipped into Inger's arms to act coquettishly.

Inger gently wiped its beak and combed its feathers.

"Brother, it's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Many things will prove it in the future."

Langmore thought of Inger's recent subtle changes, and this reason could explain everything, so he said: "I believe it."

Inger smiled and said, "Really?"

Lanmore looked at him with a calm expression, neither surprised nor delighted.

"I know my brother will believe me."

Lanmore said worriedly: "...you...you..."

He hesitated to speak.

Inger: "...Brother, if you stutter, you should see a doctor."

Lanmore instantly forgot what he wanted to say and raised his hand to pat his head.

"You brat!"

He paused for a moment and said seriously, "Is this the main reason why you told us that you want to support the Ninth Prince?"

Inger nodded: "He is the most suitable candidate."

Lanmore thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me what you saw?"

Inger was silent for a while. "In the near future, there will be a war among three kingdoms. To avoid this, the emperor of Quene must be someone else."

Lanmore said: "...only this"

[This is indeed a politician’s intuition. 】

Inger smiled and said, "My prediction is not omnipotent. I can only see a few words. The future now and the future I know may change... We must be prepared in advance."

Lanmore looked at his younger brother intently, as if he was getting to know him all over again.

"Hmm...is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

Inger poked Finé's cheek and said, "...After the new emperor is crowned, you must leave the capital and return to the territory within two years."

"Why"

Lanmore's mind flashed through several possibilities in an instant, the biggest of which was to cross the river and destroy the bridge.

And Inger planned to keep the part about the demon invasion.

Given Lanmore's character and the Duke's family's loyalty and morality, they would not ignore this matter.

Out of pure selfishness, he didn't want them to get involved in the war between humans and demons.

All the heroes seen in the comics died in this catastrophe, so there is no reason to feel complacent.

Inger avoided the question and said, "Brother, I won't harm you. I hope our family can live well."

Lanmore was stunned for a moment, although it was only fleeting, he caught a look of regret in Inger's eyes.

When Inger lowered his head slightly, Lanmore suddenly reached out his hands, held his face, and gently lifted it up.

Two extremely similar purple eyes looked at each other silently.

Lanmore showed a reliable smile: "Ying, you know that no matter what the situation is, your brother, father and mother will trust you unconditionally and stand by your side. So, today, you did a good job. You did not bear it alone, but chose to speak out. You have matured, which is amazing."

The tone, like praising a child, made Inger feel a little embarrassed and cheesy. His face turned pale, and the redness became more obvious.

To Lanmore, that was also endearing shyness.

"I'll talk to my parents. Take good care of yourself. If you have any critical information, please let me know. I'll handle everything."

Inger smiled and nodded.

【See, this saves a lot of trouble. 】

【There is nothing you have to do yourself. 】

After Lanmore went out and closed the door, his expression changed instantly. The coldness that he had never shown in front of Inger instantly captured every inch of his face.

He was nearly grinding his teeth.

【Prophecy! Prophecy! Prophecy!】

He never thought that such power was a good thing. If the goddess really existed, how could his brother suffer so much?

His brother used to be such a happy-go-lucky person. He didn't have to endure that!

That ability even allowed him to shoulder the burden of a cruel future that had not yet happened.

Even if he didn't say it, he could clearly feel the weight of life and death pressing on him.

He vowed to make the perpetrators pay a thousand times the price.

But even so, how can he repay what his brother has endured?

【Damn it!】
