“Enough with the pathetic act already.”
Why do I always end up meddling in things I shouldn’t?
“What? Who are you?”
“‘What?’ is a rude way to start. Isn’t it proper etiquette to introduce yourself before asking for someone else’s name?”
This line is probably in the top ten of lines I’ve always wanted to say in my life.
I never thought I’d get the chance to use it here, including my past life.
But seriously… it seems like these guys don’t know my face either.
How low is my recognition?
Wait a minute? That red-haired guy is a Galhaza capture character. That’s for sure.
Does that mean they don’t know Harold because he doesn’t appear in Galhaza? No, that can’t be right.
In the first place, for a noble’s son to not know his own country’s Third Prince, who is around the same age, is just messed up.
“Hmph! Judging by the color of your tie… you’re just another freshman like him.”
The red-haired man snorted, looking at my yellow tie.
I wish they’d realize I’m Harold already. But judging by his attitude, that’s impossible.
By the way, at the Royal Academy, we first-years wear yellow ties, second-years wear blue, and third-years wear red. Female students wear brooches on their chests instead of ties.
“In that case, I’ll let you off the hook today. Quietly disappear.”
“Ha… Shouldn’t upperclassmen be setting an example for the lowerclassmen? You seem to be a second-year, so try to be a little more considerate.”
I retorted with a blunt attitude to the red-haired man’s overbearing demeanor.
There’s no need to be polite to someone like him.
“You… Do you know who I am? I am Warren Gibson!”
“No, who’s that?”
Of course, I know the Gibson Family.
They are an Earl family in the kingdom, and they replaced the Shearer family, Marion’s family, and have since produced Knight Commanders for generations.
So, the current Knight Commander is Count Gibson, which means this guy is the Knight Commander’s son, right? I guess so.
“Well, whatever. Anyway, since you finally introduced yourself, I’ll introduce myself too. I’m Harold Wel Dehauvalz, the Third Prince of the Dehauvalz Kingdom.”
““!?””
The red-haired man… Warren, and his cronies, shuddered the moment they heard my name and took a step back.
“So? What would happen if I didn’t know you?”
“Ah, no…”
“Seriously… As the son of the Gibson Knight Commander, aren’t you ashamed of doing something like this, no matter the circumstances?”
““………………….””
Warren bit his lip, looking at me with frustration.
Well, it’s better that he’s not making excuses.
“That’s enough. Get out of here.”
“Y-yes, excuse us…”
Warren bowed deeply and left the scene with his cronies, as if fleeing.
“Well… are you alright?”
“A… y-yes…”
When I spoke to the male student who had been silent until now, he nodded apologetically.
Hmm… I guess I did meddle too much…
“Ah, s-sorry? It’s not like… I just did it on my own, so don’t worry about it. More importantly, if you have any trouble because of what happened earlier, just let me know…”
“I-it’s okay… More importantly, thank you very much.”
The male student bowed and quickly left the scene without even giving his name.
“…That man is incredibly rude.”
“Whoa!? S-Sandra!?”
Sandra, who had been behind me without me noticing, was glaring at the entrance of the men’s dormitory where the male student had disappeared with a stern expression…
Seriously, don’t sneak up behind me like that. It’s bad for my heart.
“Monica, investigate the identities of those men immediately.”
“Is investigating all you require? If you wish, I can ensure they never repeat such behavior.”
“Eeeeeek!?”
Monica’s eyes lost their highlights, and she curled the corner of her mouth into a sinister grin.
I couldn’t help but scream.
“D-don’t do anything like that!”
“Is that so…………………. Tsk.”
“Now, now, don’t click your tongue. More importantly, it’s lunchtime, so let’s go eat.”
I chided Monica, who had a dissatisfied expression, and we headed to the cafeteria.
But.
“? Lord Hal?”
“Ah, oh, it’s nothing.”
I looked once more at the place where the male student had been earlier, composed myself, and finally left the scene.
