“…So, Lord Harold, Monica. Could you please explain what this is all about?”
“………………….”
Hello, I’m Harold.
I am currently sitting in seiza in the common room for both men and women in the dormitory. My legs are totally numb.
The reason? You don’t even need to ask, right?
My partner Caz betrayed me and told Sandra.
Even after explaining many times that ‘it’s a misunderstanding,’ Caz said, ‘Hmm… then, it’s okay if I tell Sandra, right?’ and as soon as she joined up with Sandra, she immediately spilled the beans.
“So, that’s why it’s a misunderstanding. Monica is also a ‘Precious Thing’ to me, but it’s different from Sandra’s.”
“How is it different, may I ask?”
Sandra directs an absolute zero gaze at me, still pressing for answers.
But, is she slightly less angry? Then, now is my chance.
“Of course. You, who are most precious to me, are more special than anyone else. I swear this to God.”
“Fua!? I-is that so… then, it can’t be helped…”
“So… does that mean what happened between us was just a game?”
Monica, could you please stop trying to complicate things here?
Besides, you want to escape from this situation as soon as possible, right?
“Lord Hal.”
“T-that’s really not the case! In the first place, I don’t remember playing with Monica… M-Monica, explain properly!”
“Haa… Hal can be quite oblivious sometimes, so in a way, he’s terrible…”
Hey Caz, what does that mean?
I’m always aware of Sandra’s feelings.
In the end, I ended up continuing this exchange for an hour….
◇
“…I see. That trash has fallen to an existence even lower than garbage, is that correct?”
Sandra, who finally seems to be in a better mood, puts her hand to her mouth and nods.
“Yes. Monica said she would infiltrate that guy’s party, but I can’t allow that. So, I’m thinking of stopping his plot in another way…”
When I was talking with Monica and Caz, I couldn’t come up with a good idea, but Sandra might come up with a good plan.
Despite how she looks, she’s not just cute and strong.
“For example, how about telling the academy that that trash is planning something bad and stopping him…?”
“That would be impossible. I don’t think this academy can go against Wilfred, who is favored by King Aival. On the surface, the purpose is friendship, so there’s no reason to interfere.”
“That’s true…”
I also thought about Sandra’s suggestion, but even though the Royalty are treated the same as other students, that’s just a formality.
In the end, the academy has no choice but to do as Wilfred says.
“…Then, how about appealing to someone above this academy?”
“Someone above the academy, you say…? Ah!”
That’s right! There was that option!
“In this academy, there are my two older brothers… Brother Cardis and Brother Raphael! And also, Brother-in-law Cedric!”
“Yes. First, it would be good to talk to the brother who is willing to cooperate, and then Prince Raphael.”
Yeah, yeah, this might prevent Wilfred’s plot from happening.
“As expected of Sandra! I had completely forgotten about that!”
“N-no… I’m glad if I could be of help to Lord Hal…”
I took her small hand and expressed my gratitude in an exaggerated manner, and Sandra blushed and looked down. She’s usually so confident, but her shy appearance is so cute.
“Now that it’s decided, let’s ask them right away. Monica.”
“I will call for Lord Cedric immediately.”
Monica left her seat, and after waiting for ten minutes.
“Sorry for the delay. And… Alexandra, congratulations on your enrollment.”
“Thank you, Brother.”
As soon as he arrived, Cedric narrowed his eyes even further and offered words of congratulations. Or rather… it seems like he’s already closing his eyes.
Is that why? Even though I’m next to Sandra, I’m being completely ignored.
“Um… can we get to the main topic soon?”
“…Prince Harold was here too?”
No, no, I’ve been right next to you the whole time? This is beyond just having bad eyesight.
And, please don’t make such a face just because I interrupted you. You siscon.
“Brother.”
“Ah, sorry. So, what is it you wanted to ask?”
“Yes.”
I explain about the party hosted by Wilfred.
If possible, I want Cedric, the next head of the Duke Chevalier family, and Second Prince Raphael to force it to be canceled.
“Hmm…”
“What do you think? If Brother-in-law and Brother Raphael both say something, I think the academy would prioritize our request over Wilfred’s.”
“No, I think it would be difficult.”
“Why is that?”
“Think about it. I don’t know what he’s planning, but at least on the surface, it’s aimed at deepening friendship between the new students. Even if I and Prince Raphael unilaterally oppose it, unfortunately, we don’t have a legitimate reason.”
…Certainly, what Cedric says is true.
If we did that, the academy would only see it as harassment.
That being said, we only know that they are planning something, and that’s only because Monica read their lips. There’s no way we have any evidence.
Then.
“…Well, it’s not like there’s no way.”
Cedric slightly opened his narrow eyes and raised the corner of his mouth.
