Royal Lady of the Blueprint

Disguise

“By the way…every time I see you, I feel that your ability is quite amazing. You had a complete change.”

“And.”

“Oh, again, sorry, my Lord.”

The reason why the prince’s face changed was because of his ability from the Eisenberg family.

The Royal family of the Granzreich Empire is the last remaining mystical beings in the world and had supernatural abilities.

Bruno thought to himself.

‘That supernatural power is the true symbolism of the Granzreich family.’

Many of Granzreich's abilities can be used throughout the continent.

The symbolism that comes from there is a great number of royal families collapsing, and some even thought that the Granzreich imperial family is strong because of their ability.

Of course, the prosperity of the Granzreich family was due to the selection of emperors by the citizens not because of their portrait ability.

Now that the development of the industry is led by the era of guns and cannons, the meaning of supernatural ability has faded a lot.

Still, its symbolism has never been ignored.

The citizens of the Granzreich Empire are proud that the imperial family that ruled them are masters of supernatural power.

“Before, no, my Lord. How are you feeling? Haven’t you been feeling weak lately?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Are you sure you can’t keep sleeping?”

Sleep?

The crown prince grinned at the question.

Since “That Day” 15 years ago, he has never slept comfortably.

He had a nightmare that always repeats all the time.

However, it wasn’t because he couldn’t sleep that he has been feeling under the weather lately.

“Have you been treated?”

“A long time ago I’m taking the medicine that the doctor gave me, so I’ll get better soon.”

The servant spoke anxiously.

“I don’t think taking medicine has many effects. You keep getting tired. Why don’t you go see a doctor again before you return to the palace?”

Surely the feeling of fatigue was long-lasting for simple overwork.

But the crown prince shook his head.

“Well, what’s special about it? Let’s wait a little longer.”

“Your Highness… ..but…”

“I’ll take care of it.”

The servant was forced to shut up.

“Then let’s go back. I’m worried about something getting worse.”

“Is there anything else you want to look around?”

The Crown Prince did not answer.

Actually, there was one place to visit.

Therese Institute of Engineering.

That is where his fiancé, Young Lady Catarina, is working.

Not long ago, the emperor’s audience came to mind.

‘Catarina, go and see for yourself if the child is doing well.”

“Catarina…”

He frowned slightly.

I remembered the day I met her last time.

She was like a totally different person, no she turned out to be like ‘that woman’. The girl that day looked like that woman and he doubted his eyes a few times.

He recalled what the girl had said that day.

‘I’ve talked about unwanted engagement, and I’m so sorry.

‘You don’t like me.’

Her remark that day was strangely offensive.

Actually, there’s no reason for him to get offended.

“Your Highness?”

The servant called him again by the title of Your Highness.

But, thinking he was a disobedient servant, the crown prince said.

“Let’s go back to the Imperial Palace.”

Now that he’d been ordered by the father, he’ll have to go, but he didn’t like it strangely.

‘Promise.’

He murmured the word inwardly.

Although the bet remains, she is sure to be his fiancé.

There is no chance that she would win that ridiculous bet, and above all, the Emperor wanted her.

It is the greatest lie to think that he has a gentle impression. The Emperor is an iron-blooded giant who has an empire that encompasses the entire world.

As soon as he wanted something, the engagement was already settled. It’s just that he delayed the time in consideration for her, who is like his niece.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter. Whoever the fiancé is.”

After that day, he only had one wish left.

So it didn’t matter who was going to be.

“Yes, this way, please. I parked the car over Hugo street. It’s a bit far, so we have to walk a little.”

The servant guided him.

But as he walked, he came across a creepy alley.

“Do we have to go this way?”

“If we don’t go through this road, we have to go a long way. Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. Even if a robber shows up, I will do everything. Haha.”

He is a servant that is a scholar that is in middle age, but he is also an outstanding knight who belonged to the Royal Knights in his old age.

The robbers in these alleys could be dealt with even one hand.

“And two years ago, you, a portrayer and the war hero in Angelli, you are an unparalleled force like me, and I can’t harm you unless the army comes.”

But were his words really that reassuring?

Someone appeared deep in the alley.

“—S-stop there.”

“G-give me everything you have…”

The thick-bearded robber threatened them with a rusty knife.

The crown prince frowned.

“He’s an opium addict.”

“I think so too.”

The hand with the knife was shaking.

His blurry eyes were typical of opium addicts.

“It’s been a long time since opium was prohibited by law, but there’s still opium in the capital.”

“I will order Lord Hasseu to investigate.”

“Yes, we’ll have to hand that addict over to the security forces first.”

They met a robber with a knife, but there was no sign of tension on his face when he talked to them.

‘There are 10 of those robbers and they have to deal with it.’

The servant, who thought so, pulled a sword from his waist and aimed it at the robber.

Clang!

“If you don’t want to get hurt, put the knife down.”

“D-don’t come near!”

The robber backed away from the unusual courage of the servant.

The servant approached the robber with the intention of suppressing him at once.

Meanwhile, the crown prince looked indifferently at the figure and took out a cigarette, and bit it.

“Let it go!”

It wasn’t emotion suitable for a life-threatening robber, but it was resisting.

“Yes, let go.”

He looked up at the dark night sky.

It wasn’t the feeling he just had.

‘After what happened that day after day?’

He is the noblest man to inherit this country, but his heart was always calm and desolate.

‘Nonsense thoughts.’

He shook his head.

“Hick! Get away!”

Eventually, the opium addict threw away his knife and ran off.

“Stand there!”

“Don’t move any closer! I’ll kill you!”

The servant followed behind in a breath, and his hand snatched the robber’s neck.

He smiled at the thought that he had caught him.

“You! Stay still!”

But that was the moment!

A sound that I had never thought of resonated.

Bang!

“Huh?”

Bruno groaned.

With the smell of the mechanical gunpowder, his left stomach was burning, and suddenly the sight of his sudden death had immersed.

‘W-what….?’

“Bruno!”

In this hazy situation, the Crown Prince’s cry was heard, and the opium addict with a pistol was seen in front of his eyes.

It was a two-strike Derringer pistol used by aristocrats for self-defense.

‘How can there be… a gun?’

“Hick, heuk! I said I’d kill you! Hick!”

The opium addict lost his reason, and talked gibberish, and pointed a pistol at the crown prince while running.

“You, I kill you, too!”

The servant Bruno clenched his teeth to suppress his injury.

Your Highness!

Such bullets could not harm the king, the owner of the superpower ability, but the robber struck the sword with his last might before pulling the trigger.

Pang!

Bruno.

“Geuk!”

The sword had penetrated the opium addict’s neck, and he died instantly with a single scream.

And that moment.

The Crown Prince arrived with his servant.

“Bruno!”

“Y-Your Highness… I’m sorry, I really am. I didn’t expect that he had a gun …I was foolishly off guard…”

The servant threw up his blood.

“Stop! Stop talking!”

“Y-Your Highness…”

The light faded from the eyes of his servant.

‘Oh, my God!’

The crown prince bit his lips.

“Left upper abdomen, of all things, it was right on the vital point!”

The top of the body, which can be dangerous even with a small impact, is the vital part. How dare he get shot in a place like this!

“Y-Your Highness…”

The servant opened his mouth with difficulty to say his last words.

“So far… thank you… Good luck on your way home—.

“…!”

At the end of his speech, the servant dropped his head.

“Bruno! Pull yourself together!”

The crown prince hurriedly grabbed his pulse.

Fortunately, there is still a pulse!

“He just lost consciousness and is not dead yet. But he’s weak.’

At this rate, it is clear that his life would soon be lost.

‘You think I’ll let you die?’

He is not a particularly personally close servant.

However, he is still one of “his people” who devotes his loyalty to himself.

I can never let you die like this.

The nearest hospital?’

The best-equipped Royal Cross Hospital is too far away. It is obvious that he would not be able to hold out until he arrived.

“Not even Rosemaine Hospital. It’s far. Too”

‘s**t!’

Unfortunately, there’s no nearest hospital in the city. However, he didn’t give up. He racked his brain, thinking of any other way to save him while looking at his servant who is bleeding to death.

‘Ah…’

An answer came up.

He had heard that the Therese Institute of Engineering has a built-in clinic where workers can be treated and tended immediately after suffering from hazardous work.

There might not be a doctor there but he hoped that there’s someone who could save his life.

Is it a play of fate?

…

Even though it was late at night, the Theresa Institute of Engineering is still crowded with workers.

Nearly everyone is working together to finish the prototype.

“It’s nearly done! I can’t wait to test it out!”

Catarina said, her eyes sparkling with joy.

While Catarina is in that state, Michael observes her discreetly.

After seeing the blueprints and the machines she designed and comes to life. He has no words to describe how genius this woman is.

Ever since she came to this facility, his expression is always amazed and dumbfounded before her feat.

‘How the hell can she do this.’

He asked a question a few more times.

In her office, a blackboard filled with mathematical and chemical equations greatly amazed him. He was amazed at that time, even though he didn’t understand half of it.

The girl is a genius.

A genuine genius who may change the flow of the world, not a clumsy genius like himself.

But now the idea has been questioned.

How can a genius do this?

Not just a talent, but he had a feeling that her engineering practice was already complete

It’s as if she was born with science engraved in her body.

‘That’s a crazy idea.’

Michael shook his head.

She’s not an engineering guru. How can she be like that?

.

But the girl is so great that he had such a ridiculous idea.

“To be honest, I know that I feel like I’m working with a fellow engineer rather than teaching her now.”

He had a lot of work today, but it was easy working with this girl. This is because the girl has played as much role as an engineer as most of the engineers here.

“Emilia.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Don’t you get tired?”

Emilia had her eyes slightly wide due to his question.

It was the first time for him to say such a thing.

“It’s all right.”

“Yes, if you’re tired, go in for a while and close your eyes. Let our engineers work for your invention. Don’t worry, they may not be from the Imperial Engineering or Ministry of Engineering, they are one of the best.”

Emilia smiled due to his unusual soft words.

“Thank you for your attention.”

Michael’s face hardened when he saw her smile.

It was such a pretty smile. He was so giddy that he didn't even know why.

Michael spat out curses at himself.

‘Get a hold of yourself, Michael. Your heart flutters at your own pupil.’

There was never anything special about the girl he thought.

It’s just that her smile is so beautiful that his heart flutters for a moment.

Yeah, it was just that. Yes, It must be.

The girl had a questioning face. Michael frowned and shook his head.

“No. It’s nothing.”

“Hm? Is there something uncomfortable?”

Emilia asked again, but Michael just kept his lips closed. How was he supposed to say that his heart beat faster looking at his disciple?! Of course, he was known as a ‘young genius,’ and he became a professor at an extremely young age so he was only in his early twenties, and the age difference between them wasn’t too bad.

But it still wasn’t right.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing.”

And it was then…
