NovelEnglishLudwig is moved to the Core!
“The Greenmoon family had a strong tendency to look down on commoners. It seems that this is a protest against Her Highness’s policy of opening the door not only to nobles but also to commoners. Unfortunately, there are a lot of nobles who agree with them. The situation is serious.”
The Greenmoon family owns sailing ships. They had a lot of ties with foreign nations across the seas. Early on, the Greenmoon family realized the usefulness of knowledge coming from across the sea, and from then on, they actively invested in scholarship.
Due to this background, Duke Greenmoon has great influence over the academic cliques within the empire. Therefore, its influence could never be ignored. Also, in this case, the Greenmoon family has become a banner that rallied the nobles who were dissatisfied with Mia. There are quite a few noble families who do not like Mia, who has been tolerant and kind to commoners for a long time.
It wouldn’t be strange at all that most of these nobles cooperated with Duke Greenmoon secretly.
However, the civil servants with hearts support the actions of Mia and Ludwig. So, information such as secret maneuvers of the Greenmoon family are passed on to Ludwig. But still…
“By the way, how are the other Four Dukes doing?”
“Both the Redmoon family and the Yellowmoon family have decided to wait and see. Only the Bluemoon family has offered financial assistance. And it’s quite a considerable amount.”

This seemed to be intended as a way of showing gratitude for having Sapphias part of the student council.
“Or should I see it as a snake snuggling up to me… Anyway, if he’s going to be on my side from now on, then there’s no problem.”
“Yes. Because of them, funding is not a concern at the moment. As for the buildings, Viscount Berman is overlooking its construction. So, it is proceeding smoothly as well.”
“Well, that’s also surprising. I thought he was definitely reluctant about something.” Mia secretly apologizes in her heart. “Even so… what shall we do?”
“Yes. Either persuade them again or find someone else.”
Ludwig was right, but at the same time it was not easy.
“It’s not going to be easy. There aren’t that many people who want to go against the Greenmoon family. Hm? Outside the influence of the Green Moon family? What about…”
Mia groaned while thinking for a while… then she finally remembered.
Mia evaluates that this option should be better than being married to a stranger for political reasons. Besides, she would only be asking to teach for about 2 or three years. She can quit afterwards if she wants to get married. In the meantime, it will be possible to find one to replace her.
Somehow, Mia involuntarily smiles, feeling like she’d come up with something really good.
“Ludwig, about the issue of lecturers, I have my eye on a person.”
“Is that so? Who is it?”
“Second princess of Perujin Agricultural Country. Princess Aisha Tafrif Perujin is said to have studied botany at St. Noel… and is looking for a place to where she can put her knowledge to good use.”
Mia said in a light tone,
“She’ll just the right person for my academy.”
Mia spoke confidently.
Ludwig gasped upon hearing the candidate lecturer’s name. Calling the princess of the Agricultural Country as a lecturer of botany would mean that Mia was going to fight head on against the ‘evil anti-agriculturalist thought’ that was prevalent in the empire. This seems to make sense as education is the best way to wipe out irrational discrimination and superstition. Mia is trying to solve the biggest problem of the Tearmoon Empire with her Academy City Project.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA sudden shudder ran through Ludwig’s body. He couldn’t help but get goosebumps from the intense emotion.
Mia, in Ludwig’s eyes, had moonlit shining wings on her back. Proud to work under the direction of such a supreme being, Ludwig, uncharacteristically, smiled cheerfully.
“Fufu, is that so… I didn’t know you were already looking for the right person to be the lecturer.”
“Well, I haven’t discussed it with her yet. Besides, we need more than a single teacher. But what is really a headache is looking for a Headmaster for the academy.”
Indeed, it was so. Initially, it was planned to appoint Count Bachmann, who is known as a prominent intellectual within the empire, as Headmaster. Attracted by the fame, there were several people who came forward as instructors. It is necessary to appoint a well-known person as the person who will be above the lecturers.
But…
“Regarding that matter… Could you leave it to me?”
“Oh? Do have someone in mind?”
“Yes. I have had some reservations about this person. But after witnessing Your Highness’ resolution, I have made up my mind to also do my best.”
“Resolution? Huh? Well, that’s good. Who are you thinking about?”
After closing his eyes for a moment, Ludwig speaks in a quiet tone.
“My… master. The man who taught me everything I know.”
