"Princess Elvina, what are you doing here?!" - Jovie was still stunned when the person in front of her was not an ordinary schoolgirl but the daughter of the king of Violeska. When Elvina's friends stopped to call her back, Elvina told them to go first and then said to Jovie:

“You keep your voice down, otherwise people will discover me. No need to address me formally here, it’s ok to call my name Elvina..."

“Why are Your Highne... hmm... i mean, why are you here, Elvina? More importantly, how did you get here?”

“Thanks to Mr. Kinsley's help.”

“Duke... Kinsley’s help?”

“Well, he used to be the principal of this school, you know. Power is something we cannot predict who will belong to until everything is revealed, right?" - Elvina said with a cheerful look.

When Jovie heard that the duke was a former principal, he was quite surprised, understanding the reason why he was able to enter the teaching school. But what surprised him even more was Elvina's presence. He asked:

My house’s here!”- A shrill voice outside interrupts Jovie's precious short nap before he resumes his tutoring in an important place in the afternoon. It’s the voice of his mother, Sev Thorium. After receiving the goods ordered two days ago, she immediately runs up to Jovie's room, repeatedly knocks on the door, and shouts: “Wake up, boy! The delivery robot delivered an item that I’d ordered for two days. I want you to come out here to see and show me how to use it. I have to bring it to the extradition hearing later.” Jovie was woken up by his mother's high-pitched screams even though he is wearing wireless headphones and turning the volume to be high, so he opens his eyes, sits up from the multi-purpose pillow, and shouts: "Come on, that's a freak." “What do you mean?

A resident incites everyone's hatred towards Hochi by pointing his finger at him and shouting: “You traitor bastard, how can you be so calm after returning to your hometown to commit crimes against the empire? Do you have any shame left? Do you think that's cool? Guys, this guy doesn't show any remorse for what he's done, so we don't need to respect him anymore.

She just stares at Hochi and keeps her silence for a long time. Jovie turns his mouth to her mother's ear and asks: "Mom! Mom! What are you thinking about?"

As the crowd boos and curses Hochi incessantly, he still sits there, without any expression of anger or depression, instead in a relaxed posture . It can safely to say that his face is almost emotionless. It’s as if he is enjoying the fresh air, the gentle rays of the early morning on the last day of his appearance in his homeland.

    Hochi still refuses to stop, despite Babilo's acceptance of being a two-faced person to harass him: "Every year young people who are 18 years old or above were sent to the country to learn about Violeska history and culture and participated in harsh military training courses so that they could later serve as soldiers for the government army. During the actual wars on the peninsulas, many young men were no more, their bodies were not properly buried but only placed in coffins piled on top of each other. Those who were still alive were either disabled or suffering from severe mental sequelae, and had no choice but to desertion. Sadly, for families with dead or disabled children, there was no compensation for war benefits from the government, so some of them had to suppress their grief and pain in their hearts to bury their dead children's bodies, some were raising their crippled children without any help for the rest of their life." People begin to be shocked by the accusations about

Suddenly, a soldier standing in the ranks exclaims when saw Jovie: "Oh, Jovie. Why... why are you here?" "Eh, Gerl, is that you?" When the commander sees Jovie, he exclaims: "Mr. Jovie, isn't it? Why don't you go to class but stay here?" "Ah, I just helped General Babilo fight against a group of rebels who want to rescue Hochi. In a minute of carelessness, I have been beaten by one of them and then fainted... Wait for a second, where are the men in black? Did you let them go?" "Sorry.

    When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Gerl said: “There you go, come down. I just brought it here.” Jovie was surprised and asked: "Wow, why don't you take me inside quickly?" “I still have to go to the Giga area. I heard that there was a protest about the death of a liquor dealer.” “Ah, the thing about the bartender named Arabell who died when a soldier pinned his neck to the ground? The case made headlines in the media. People are protesting to get justice for him." “Yes, this case has caused a lot of notoriety to the Imperial soldiers.

    Duke Kinsley ran his hand through his beard, just remained silent and walked away. He walked faster than before, as if so Jovie wouldn't see his present expression and wistful face. Looking at Kinsley's current appearance made Jovie think of Babilo's servant. He knew it was a woman and suddenly realized that he was extremely curious about that girl. I think:“Babilo once mentioned before members of the royal family that in his spoils, when he was gone, he even brought a little girl to the king. I once saw her when I was 15 years old and entered the Voidenorten palace to meet the king with her father - then the leader and also the representative of the Violeska labor union in general and the working class of the country.

As soon as you look at him, you immediately know that he is a person with stylish clothes and a true playboy.""I rarely wear this outfit when I go out. Now I'm only touching it because I lent you my Raccoon outfit."“You’re bullshitting, right? Because you like wearing it, right? You have other clothes to wear…”“Screw you, Affa. I'm not. That's not bullshit but the truth, nah..." - Jovie's face fell - "I've already put all the other sets in the clothes bin, I haven't had time to wash them yet, there are only two sets left that you and I are wearing."“And I have to say, the thing you let me borrow

    After lunch with the king, Jovie quickly left Voidenorten Palace and went home. As he drove the Rollride-1010 back, he remembered the king's instructions earlier while having lunch together about the enormous responsibility of becoming the commander of the elite army escorting the armory transport vehicle. to the palace: “Your task is extremely hard. Enemies are everywhere, so are their spies, they definitely know about my assignment to you this time. Whether or not the weapon truck can safely reach the palace depends entirely on your bravery and talent. Don't think I'm flattering you, it's the truth. I trust you a lot, so do not disappoint me, my knight.”That sentence kept echoing in his head the whole way. He finds this more stressful than running a class with bad students. He did not know what would happen next, or who the enemy he would face would be, he could only rely on his abilities and judgment to improvise. Suddenly he looked to the right of the bridge, a few hundred meters

He... who exactly is he? How could he know about the treasure?" - The king stood restless, his face pale from anxiety to the point of biting his nails.After hearing this, Jovie suddenly imagined the character that Aragad was talking about and thought:“That person has a way of acting similar to 'him' - that long-haired guy. On the day he met me and before handing over the sling, he also mentioned that he would reclaim the treasure that had been stolen by a group of people living here. Is there any reason…”The king was extremely uneasy and asked Aragad:“And can you tell me more ab

    Now everyone understands that things are starting to become more ambiguous and complicated than they thought. The insider story has always been very sensitive even though it is an extremely common issue everywhere, especially in the Violeska territory. Understanding the seriousness of the problem, the king had to stand up from the throne and then stagger down to the surprise of his ministers. He signaled Kinsley to come closer to him and asked:“How do you think this matter should be handled? Is it necessary to make a trip to Federation J to investigate the matter and thoroughly see what's really going on?"“Your Majesty, don't worry. I have no doubts about the strength and loyalty of the ministers sent there. But if you are not assured, why don't we directly call Aragad's powerful subordinate, Frankastin, to come here and ask for clarification instead of going all the way to the federation?"Hearing advice from Kinsley, the king nodded, patted the duke's shoulder, and then walked with
