Chapter 131. The Assassinating Butterfly (2)

The students’ jaws dropped wide open.

‘What the hell is this scene…?’

The students entering the Demon Hunting class were bewildered.

And for good reason, the 2nd Prince was…

The 2nd Prince, who was said to bite anyone who even spoke to him, who was called a mad dog…

“Here are today’s class materials. Please take one.”

Was kindly handing out handouts?

The students were confused, shocked, and honored as the tall man distributed handouts at the entrance.

“Th-thank you! Your Highness!”

While doubting their own eyes.

‘…Is that really the 2nd Prince?’

What kind of person was he?

Zero social skills, maximum level rudeness, a shameless bastard who repaid kindness with enmity.

And that same person was diligently distributing handouts.

The Imperial Princess also looked confused as she faced the 2nd Prince. She stood there dumbfounded, unable to even take a handout.

“R-Ryle, why are you…”

“Huh? Is there some problem?”

As Ryle glared directly at the Imperial Princess, smack! He got hit on the back of the head. It was Ruin holding a textbook. His eyes were those of an angry teacher incarnate.

“Do it properly. You’re being slow so the kids’ entry is delayed.”

“Shit… I got it… Yes. I apologize.”

The students were horrified and shocked at the sight of the mad dog instantly becoming a chihuahua.

‘Ruins! What did you do this time!’

‘More importantly, hitting a member of the Imperial Family. Is that even allowed!’

Perhaps noticing those gazes, Ruin raised an eyebrow.

“He’s not Imperial Family. He’s an insolent assistant who just resembles Imperial Family.”

…Is that really okay?

Well, as long as the person in question doesn’t mind, there’s no problem.

‘But an assistant?’

The students looked at the 2nd Prince with eyes asking if he was serious.

However, Ryle himself engraved the character for patience in his heart. The reason he endured such humiliation was for one thing alone-

“You’re after Rose Isles, aren’t you?”

“!”

It was because of those words from Ruin.

Ryle had no choice but to react sensitively to this ‘party’ talk.

That was because Rose Isles would obtain the ‘acorn’ that Ryle absolutely needed at this party.

‘I must steal that.’

Above all, it couldn’t fall into the hands of the First Prince or the Imperial Princess. Before regression, Rose had appeared as the First Prince’s partner, and the First Prince, who had read the 2nd Prince’s plan, had recruited her.

Because of that, the ‘acorn’ fell into the First Prince’s hands, making it difficult to even retrieve.

Perhaps reading that situation, Ruin had said something unexpected to Ryle.

“The First Prince was watching you. Did he find out that you’re a Regressor?”

“…!”

Ryle answered through gritted teeth.

“I don’t know. Whether he’s just copying everything because he has prophetic abilities, or whether he’s copying because he noticed I’m a Regressor – I can’t tell which. So I’m avoiding him as much as possible, but strangely he seems to know a lot about me.”

“Is that so? Anyway, how dare he target my item.”

“Why is that yours….”

“You’re also targeting my item, which is presumptuous, but I’ll let it slide.”

“????”

Anyway, Ruin spoke as if doing him a favor.

“Do you want to make contact with Rose Isles?”

“Will you change partners?!”

“That’s fine too, but it won’t be free.”

“What? Then how much….”

“Work for me.”

What?

And now.

“Say hello. This is Ryle, who will be working as an assistant for the time being.”

The students all dropped their jaws wide open. The sound of their confused murmuring leaked out beyond the classroom.

“Professor Ruins, didn’t you say you wouldn’t hire student assistants?”

Karin couldn’t help but experience an earthquake in her pupils.

The 2nd Prince as an assistant?

‘He rejected my assistant request with a single blow!’

In her shock, Karin recalled what she had overheard in the Student Meeting Room a few days ago.

Of course, eavesdropping wasn’t behavior that aligned with her values, but… it just so happened that Judith and Rose were talking about Ruins.

“Sister, Father decided on Professor Ruins as your partner. Why didn’t you refuse?”

“Oh my, is that strange?”

“…You weren’t interested in the Professor originally.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Rose laughed lightly.

“But do you remember what our great-aunt said?”

‘!’

Great-aunt, Princess Lucherin.

She was the Magic Tower Master, a legend from 50 years ago who directly faced Fire Butterfly.

While developing weapons to destroy Pride, she fell for Fire Butterfly’s temptation and scrapped the plan, enduring countless criticisms for love and never marrying.

So she had heard it often since childhood.

“That Fire Butterfly and Ruins Wayne. Their radical aspects are somewhat similar.”

“…!”

Only their radical aspects were similar…?

Radical or whatever, wasn’t that saying she was interested anyway?!

That’s why lightning struck Princess Karin’s head.

Moreover, she was already observing Ruins through Frix. In that process, she had caught him with the 2nd Prince several times.

Of course, she couldn’t hear their conversations. Strange power blocked her, making the words keep cutting out so she couldn’t understand.

But even so, there was exactly one thing she barely managed to hear.

“This guy is my disciple. A master disciplining his disciple a bit, is that so wrong?”

Yes! She heard those words crystal clear!

That’s why Karin was flustered when Ryle appeared as his assistant.

‘No way… no way… he’s really going to take the 2nd Prince as his disciple…?’

But as if that wasn’t enough, what about the Grand Duchess?

‘Partner!’

No way!

She was already worried about Judith and Ruin growing closer. Because of the prophecy, she wanted to keep Ruins by her side, so she bit her lips tightly.

* * *

“Kyaah, it’s Professor Ruins!”

“Professor!”

“He’s so handsome!”

The First Prince’s party banquet hall.

Students who recognized Ruin, dressed in formal attire unlike usual, came rushing over.

They spoke as if to tease him.

“You don’t know who we are, right?”

“There are no name tags, so how could you know.”

“Now’s our chance. Let’s mess with the Professor!”

“You guys are, yes. Redmoon’s Della and Sara, Martin, Oscar, Risel, Jenin, Paul, Bianca, Adel, Kyle, Yvonne, Neri, Joshua, Karen, Ren, Rudy, Hayden, Silvy, Colin, Bria, Paz, and Dorothea. Eileen, Jack, Lewis, Miko, Iris, Fran, Arenne, Cassia, Franz, Allen.”

“Eh?”

“Act up and you’ll lose points.”

The students who were trying to mess with him were shocked, and the female students screamed as if they couldn’t believe it.

“Kyaaaah! You remembered our names!”

“Professor, really?! That’s insane!”

At their ecstatic reaction, Ruin himself was dumbfounded.

‘…Isn’t being remembered by a professor usually not a good thing?’

More importantly, since it was definitely the First Prince’s birthday, many Redmoon and Goldmoon students with political connections were noticeably present. Students recognized Ruin and approached him saying “me too, me too.”

With chicks clinging to him from all sides asking for attention, Ruin found it cute on one hand but tiring on the other.

‘At this rate, you can’t tell if this is a Haven event or a political gathering.’

Ruin also spotted a familiar face hiding behind the students.

“Isles was here too.”

“!”

Princess Judith, who had been called out, was startled. Her face turned red as she looked at Ruin.

‘Professor Ruins.’

He had always been handsome, but honestly, today’s appearance was just unfair. While Judith was breathless and couldn’t dare meet his eyes, the students mischievously asked.

“Professor, who is your partner today?”

“Hey, why are you asking something so tactless? It must be his lover, obviously.”

“What? No way! Professor, you don’t have a girlfriend, right? Right?”

It was then that Judith flinched and shrank back at the female students’ opposition.

“Of course. How could our unlucky professor have a lover?”

A leisurely and confident voice echoed through the banquet hall.

Where everyone turned to look, there was Rose Isles in a red dress, a beauty confidently and magnificently drawing all the attention in the banquet hall.

Ruin frowned.

“Why are you picking a fight with your partner?”

“Partner? You call it being partners when you abandon your partner at the entrance and come in alone?”

Ruin was serious.

‘She must be angry about being stood up at that blind date last time.’

「No. I don’t think that’s the problem here? You did abandon her at the entrance.」

‘Well, who told her to bring a bunch of AEGIS agents with her?’

And when it’s not even a mission, would he really do something so troublesome as putting on a shameless act in front of the agents!

Soon Rose, who had entered a party alone for the first time in her life, approached fuming.

“In the first place, Father paired us up on his own.”

“Then why didn’t you refuse?”

“Today, I’m going to thoroughly humiliate you.”

Rose lifted her head proudly.

“I wonder if a reclusive loner would be able to dance.”

“Hah… I didn’t know the Grand Duchess had such a foul temper.”

Ruin muttered cynically as he picked up his teacup.

“That’s what you get for harboring admiration for a criminal.”

At that, sparks flew in Rose’s eyes.

“What did you say? Did you just insult ‘Fire Butterfly’? Listen here, Fire Butterfly is someone I lik-”

At that moment.

“Oh, the Fire Butterfly from that novel you like, sister?! R-right, sister?!”

Judith, who had been experiencing pupil earthquakes, suddenly shouted.

Rose looked flustered, then soon glared at Ruin.

“Well, that’s true, but I-”

“He appears a lot in it, right!”

“Uh, yeah… That’s true.”

At those words, Ruin quietly set down his teacup. Cold veins appeared around his eyes.

‘Those Union bastards… Do they even get copyright permission before using it?’

Well, novels aside.

「Hey. Are you really going to kill the First Prince? He’s a Haven student.」

‘The Assassination Squad will do the killing, not me.’

「You said you’d support them. So it’s the same thing in the end.」

‘Well, the pay isn’t bad.’

「Tsk, our kid’s going crazy over money-」

‘If the First Prince really dies here, that is.’

「!」

Ruin’s eyes narrowed.

He had known from the beginning that the First Prince wouldn’t die at this party.

Why?

‘Didn’t Squirrel say? That in the end, it’s the First Prince who becomes the next Emperor.’

Then at least he won’t die here.

In other words, today’s scheduled assassination is a failure. Then there was no need to dangerously intervene. Just enjoy the atmosphere while drinking expensive alcohol.

「Aren’t you going to provide support?」

‘You should think that just my presence here is already support. Get lost.’

「Hey, this means you’re not going to do anything at all.」

That’s right.

A sweet part-time job where money comes in even while doing nothing.

‘Ah. This is what retirement pension feels like.’

But well, it wouldn’t hurt to know the details.

He turned his head and called the tall waiter.

“So, waiter. Don’t you have any information about this party?”

The summoned waiter seemed dumbfounded.

What? Information? Did he just say information? The waiter, no, the 2nd Prince gritted his teeth.

‘How dare he deceive me.’

At that expression, Ruin let out a chuckle.

“Why. You got to escort the partner you wanted, didn’t you. Didn’t I keep my promise?”

At those words, Ryle dressed in waiter clothes trembled with rage.

Yes, I did get to escort her!

‘As a servant!’

Right before the party, Ruin had said this.

“I’m sorry to Your Highness. It seems I’ll be going to the party after all.”

“What? Then the promise!”

“I’ll make sure you get close to Rose Isles, so don’t worry. Nobles can bring one attendant with them.”

This con artist! Was this his plan from the beginning!

So as he glared with burning eyes, Ruin said.

“If you don’t like it, go back to the house.”

「Hey, is it okay for you to openly grind down the 2nd Prince like this?」

‘I’m not grinding him down, I’m educating him.’

Ryle was a beast who wouldn’t hesitate to kill those around him when things didn’t go his way. In other words, he was a ticking time bomb type who could explode at any moment.

That’s why he had to be suppressed with strong fear, and making such a Ryle wear servant attire was a kind of forced injection of hierarchy.

In short, it was psychological pressure saying ‘don’t get the wrong idea that you’re above me.’ After all, gaining the upper hand in psychological warfare is a spy’s basic skill.

And the reason for bringing Ryle here?

‘To confirm how accurate my information network is.’

Sure enough, Ruin spoke.

“Let’s hear the Squirrel information.”

Squirrel information – does he mean regression information?

Ryle clicked his tongue and made an openly sullen expression.

“Honestly, the fact that you came to the party and became the Grand Duke’s daughter’s partner already changed the future quite a bit, but… there is some.”

The future has changed?

Then does that mean the First Prince might die?

“Then what’s the most important information about today’s party?”

Then Ryle glanced around and spat out.

“Tonight, Pride appears.”

Well, of course. The assassination order has been given.

“And Fire Butterfly assassinates the First Prince and Rose Isles.”

“….”

….

…Why me?
