After the mock battle with Sasha, it was finally after school.
Yuran, who has no shortage of topics to talk about, has quickly become an isolated presence in the class.
He is half not wanting to get involved and half not knowing how to interact with the other half. Thinking that maybe someone would talk to him at some point, Yuran went to a coffee shop in the capital.
“Hnnn~~~! Yum~!”
On the other side of the table was Tia, who was tucking into a piece of cake with a delicious smile.
In the end, the mysterious girl who stayed at the school until the end even though there were no classes seemed to be happy with the new sweets.
“….. I’m glad I invited you.”
Meanwhile, Sasha is beside her, chewing on her joy.
After inviting Yuran, the other party came over, more than an option in the set, and casually clenched her fists and chewed on her joy here too.
“So, may I ask you why you called me here? I’m sure Your Highness isn’t the kind of person who enjoys going out on dates with guys she doesn’t care for.”
“Perhaps you’re still upset that I don’t see you as a member of the opposite gender?”
“Of course not.”
If someone dumps him even though he hasn’t confessed his feelings, he’ll be honest. When a beautiful girl says something to him, it really hurts his heart.
Yuran is a very narrow-minded man.
“Well, well, Yuu-kun is going to marry nee chan, so it doesn’t matter what other people think of you. …… ahnn♪”
“Yes, I don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t want to hear it aahhnn”
“…… you’re going to let her feed you in a very normal way.”
Sasha’s cheeks twitch as she watches Yuran being fed like a couple in public.
But then, with one cough…
“The reason I invited you here is simply to solicit you to join my faction, if I may be so blunt.”
“Is that what you were talking about when we had that awkward meeting?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“To be honest, you should just choose someone at random. That’s right, if you are popular, you can fish as much as you like even if you don’t have bait, right? I’m busy taking care of the troublesome people next to me and living for tomorrow.”
A lot has happened just today.
In order to have a stable and peaceful life from now on, I have to keep “watching my sister” and “being mature myself.”
Frankly speaking, I don’t need status, money, or connections, and I can’t afford to be working for someone else’s unfamiliar agendas.
“If I take on too many people, it will be difficult to manage and will leave room for someone else’s agenda to intervene, won’t it I want to keep my allies as small and elite as possible.”
“Hmmm.”
“I want to form a faction simply because I am afraid to be around my brother.”
Haaa. Sasha sighs loudly.
“You know that there are too many people your brother’s age who are going to be the future of the country, don’t you?”
“The son of the Prime Minister, the son of the current head of the Royal Knights, and the second son of the Marquise ……, right?”
As I recall, those three and the crown prince were the game’s capture characters.
Yuran desperately tried to picture in the back of his mind a man he had never met.
“And then there’s Tia san. Don’t forget.”
Tia? Why is my sister’s name mentioned on that topic?
At the sharp gaze, Yuran tilted his head, not understanding at all.
“Ah, but it sure is scary, isn’t it?”
Tia, who had been sitting outside the mosquito net chewing on a piece of cake, finally joined the conversation.
“Everyone seems to be falling in love with that commoner and acting strangely. I wonder if they’re blind in love? They’re trying so hard to be liked that they’re neglecting a lot of things.”
“When you say it like that, it’s very convincing.”
“Ehhennm!”
Although she didn’t praise her, Tia thought that she had been praised and proudly puffed out her chest.
Because of that, the flabby fruit was emphasized even more and Yuran’s gaze was led to it.
“If that’s all, he’s so desperate that he’s even changing his personality. Even last time, he tried to withdraw money from the treasury to buy Sophia’s birthday present.”
“….., is this country in trouble?”
“….. that’s why we’re in so much trouble.”
In the first place.
Sasha holds up a finger.
“Realistically speaking, it’s impossible for a commoner and royalty to get married. The same can be said for the other three. It is unthinkable for a nobleman to throw away the diplomatic card of marriage into the gutter. There would definitely be opposition from all sides.”
For nobles and royalty, marriage is an important means of deepening the value of their relationship with each other.
It can solidify a relationship that cannot be easily severed, or it can be flirted with to extract favorable conditions, or even concessions can be made.
Under normal circumstances, no one would condone throwing away a marriage card with a commoner.
(The marriage was possible because Sophia awakened her power as a saint, ……, wasn’t it? Well, if you try to push forward with a scenario that hasn’t progressed that far, you’ll get opposition.)
This is the difference between a game and reality, I guess.
Yuran, who had been listening with the stance of someone else, ate the cake offered by Tia.
“So, I want to be able to discourage, rather than hold the reins ……. You see, the stronger my forces become, the less my brother and others will be able to run amok and change things around as they please, right?”
“Well, if there is someone who can take in negative opinions, then there won’t be a situation where things get swept under the rug.”
“So, I want to reduce their influence as much as possible in this school life. I’m not counting on my sister because she’s a wild woman,……, and I really wish I could do something about Sophia san.”
“Eh, what should I do? Should onee chan do it for you?”
“Nee san shut up?”
The fact that she doesn’t disclose any of the specifics is what really scares him into doing it.
“Sophia san, I don’t really dislike her, she’s …… very personable and kind. Above all, that healing ability is something I’d like to hold onto personally.”
Haa. For the second time, sighs Sasha.
I guess it’s because she’s such a capable woman that she has to worry so much. Somehow, he could sense the same kind of smell there, and his sympathy arised
“Well then, onee chan has a suggestion”
Saying so, Tia took out a piece of paper from her pocket.
It was a request form that the school regularly solicited—
“What’s this, nee san?”
“The request that Sophia and the Knight Commander’s son received just now.”
With her usual calm smile, Tia happily spoke up.
“We can clear this up on our own. If we interfere, at least they won’t get a reputation.”
Yuran saw the look on her face and thought to himself.
You villainess, he thought.
