No one knew that the one who posted such a ‘ridiculous’ comment and got reprimanded was actually the ‘commander’ of the royal knights. Well, her thirty-fifth ‘shadow’ account, that is.
Anyway, as the person in charge of most of the forces promoting and defending Emilia online, Penny felt that it was only right for her to do whatever she could to defend her princess.
If she only put in one person’s effort, would she even be worthy of being a commander who could enjoy the privilege of (secretly) molesting the princess?
Being Penny, she even added ‘while clinging to her thighs’ at the end of her ‘apologetic’ statement… in her mind, at least.
Needless to say, the ponytailed blonde naturally didn’t feel embarrassed or frustrated even after being reprimanded, and only regretted that she couldn’t go to the empire of her princess to try her theory right away.
Making sure that her mother was not in sight, Penny kicked the coffee table in anger while smashing her phone on the sofa. “Ahh…! Everything is so lonely without her! Even my sacred treasury isn’t enough now!”
The sound of a young girl giggling melodiously quickly broke her thoughts of frustration and despair as Penny hurriedly dived to get the phone she had thrown back.
Fortunately, while it got stuck between the sofa’s seat and back, it didn’t fall too deep in, and Penny managed to quickly retrieve it with her nimble fingers.
The only number she had set to make the sound of her princess giggling was that of Emilia herself, and for her to send a message now could only mean one thing…

Life for Amos hadn’t been so bad ever since Emilia left Oriana country, but not everything was so well.
After all, while he had managed to restore quite a bit of his lost reputation in certain age groups, the youngsters, and especially his schoolmates, seemed to have started hating him even more.
Of course, the opinion of these irrelevant people didn’t really bother him, but the fact that they dared to stare at him as they did still put him in a bad mood.
It wouldn’t matter so much if that bastard father of his just allowed him to rest at home as before, but no, for some reason that idiot insisted that he be on his ‘best behavior’ from now on.
Of course, if this was just another attempt to distract and suppress him, the man had another thing coming.
Ever since the last time he fell into a trap, Amos had already vowed to no longer be caught on the back foot ever again, and discretely started accepting communication with his father’s rivals within the corporation.
The silver-haired boy chuckled as he stepped out of his luxury car, trying his best not to stumble on his bad foot. ‘The fool doesn’t even realize that while he’s trying to push me into a ditch, I’m already having his grave prepared.’
Knowing it wouldn’t be too long before he overcame the oppression of his bastard father put him in such a good mood that he didn’t even look around to check if someone dared to glare at him as he strode towards the class, let alone scold them back.
Plus, just imagining the look on the face of that little bitch Emilia when she finally met him as the leader of the Black Tiger Corporation, while she had spent all her life fucking around as a shithole country’s ’empress’, the joy he felt was enough for Amos to smile for days.
It was only a few minutes later that the hero finally realized that something wasn’t quite right. “Isn’t the academy… kind of empty today?”
Frowning suspiciously, Amos quickly found the nearest student, a skinny boy in spectacles, and grabbed him by the shoulder to demand an explanation.
Much to his surprise, the boy didn’t seem scared, no, he looked positively excited to share the ‘news’ with him.
Amos had no idea that this was the boy he had ‘replaced’ in the debate team for the annual events, or that he had long since been waiting for an opportunity for ‘payback’.
The skinny boy chuckled. “You really don’t know? The academy issued a notice about an ‘exchange program’ with the newly established Imperial School of Blue Dawn, and was taking up names to allow students to transfer over there.”
Although it was called an ‘exchange’, the fact that only one side was sending students made it obvious that something wasn’t quite right.
The students couldn’t even imagine what means Emilia must have used to get the academy to agree to such a thing.
After all, not only were they extremely possessive of their talents, the fact that there was no ‘limit’ or requirement to those who wanted to participate was completely ridiculous!
Given that their most promising student from Emilia’s batch, Crystal, had already left without even getting a transfer certificate was bad enough, this was just on a whole other level.
In the worst case, wouldn’t the result of the academy suffer a great blow? How can they accept such a thing?
Had it been in the past, they could barely accept that the academy ‘gave in’ because of the White Deer’s influence and donations, but now?
Although the White Deer Corporation’s various businesses were still going strong, it was no secret that all their top executives and most talented employees had fled the country.
Even if the government tried their best, such a big thing couldn’t be hidden from the top elites, after all.
The spectacled boy gave him a gloating look as he shook the silver-haired boy’s hand off his shoulder. “Did you start to think just because Emilia left, your Black Tiger became the sole ‘big player’ in our country? Heh, I guess it must not feel so good to realize they still have that influence.”
Amos was too dumbfounded to even stop the boy from walking away, and he could only mumble to himself in disbelief. “No way, isn’t Black Tiger now the biggest sponsor of the academy? How can they still favor that bitch so much?!”
