“Is master stupid?”
After returning from the training ground and after receiving prickly stares from the neighbors throughout the class, after school.
While people were looking at each other with a lot of attention, some people were rewarding Adele with a word of praise.
Incidentally, Adele was listening to the cold eyes, apart from the murmuring gazes of the people around him, sitting upright with his shoulder joints already dislocated. Ouch.
“But, General! There is a deep, deep reason ……!”
“Then, may I ask you the deep and profound reason why you joined a faction without thinking, beat up a senior student, and finally gave the middle finger to the royal family ……?”
“I didn’t like it.”
It is rare that a profound reason is given in eight words.
“Master….”
Sigh. Elesia looked at Adele who spoke with an extremely serious face and put her hand on her forehead.
At that time, Luna, who was watching from the side, called out.
“Ah, uh… please don’t get too angry, okay? It was originally my fault…”
“No, it’s not Luna-sama’s fault. And I love Master’s character of helping those in need.”
“I know! I understand!”
“But giving the middle finger to royalty is outrageous.”
“Ah, ……, I understand.”
Luna’s cheeks twitched obediently and she took a step back, perhaps because she couldn’t protect her anymore.
Now, sadly, Adele no longer has any allies.
“I have no objection about joining Luna-sama’s faction. The lone wolf figure is very cool, but I also fall in love with the figure that joins the faction for Luna-sama’s sake.”
“…………”
“However, the person you’re dealing with is the Third Prince. He’s a visual difference from the master I’m so drawn to, but even if he’s a member of the royal family, there’s no point picking a fight with the royal family.”
“…………”
“No matter how strong master is, spoil you—”
“Hey, I’ve been getting a sermon for a while now, haven’t I?”
He was sitting on the floor and being lectured
“But Elesia was right, the third prince is not good.”
Shana, who was listening with her elbows on her chair, opens her mouth.
And Adele nodded his head in agreement.
“Hey, you’ve been implying things about the third prince since a while ago, but is he really that bad-natured? No, I knew from the development and our first meeting that he looks bad. ……”
“The third prince, Julius-sama, is famous for his ambition.”
As if to add to this, Elesia said.
“He is highly ambitious, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He treats people as pawns, and he is thorough in opening up his own path. Julius is the kind of man who eliminates obstacles without mercy.”
“In fact, when there was an incident around him, the other party was socially and physically incapacitated,”
“…… Really?”
“…… my brother is sorry.”
Luna’s shunned appearance seemed to prove their words.
Adele couldn’t bring back his twitching cheeks.
“What makes him even worse is that he himself is so skilled that he is known as the ‘second coming of the sword saint’. I hear that he is unrivaled in his age group.”
“The proof of this is that Julius-sama is ranked first in the second grade. Moreover, his ranking has not changed at all since he entered the school.”
“Well, there are not many students who have the guts to challenge the royalty to a duel. Of course, he has maintained the top position in the regularly scheduled results.”
His character is the worst. In addition, he is a strong fighter and has a strong house.
He is like a scruffy delinquent who has given everything and is out of control.
This time, instead of smiling bitterly, Adele covered his face with his hands.
“Since you proudly raised your middle finger at someone like that, I’m sure your future at school will be troublesome.”
“No, someone hurry up and get that kid out of here!”
However, he is not the kind of person you can kick out when you try to kick him out.
His grades are top. It is hard to imagine that a person who will do anything to achieve a goal would be expelled from school for a duel or an examination.
In other words, for the past two years.
If the problems surrounding Luna are not resolved, he will have to spend his days preparing for something cramped and insidious.
“Well, I will continue to support master so that he can live a comfortable school life, but …… for the time being, I will join Luna-sama’s faction.”
“Eh, is it okay?!”
Luna looks at Elesia in surprise.
Then Elesia answered with a small smile.
“Fufu, I’m an ant where the master is. Besides, I decided it was better to join Luna-sama’s faction than to join some strange faction.”
The presence of Adele is probably the main reason for this decision, but the reason for the decision now is probably because Elesia thought of the second princess she knew from her time as a young lady up until now.
Joining a faction will certainly affect her future after she leaves the academy.
For this reason, it is difficult to shake one’s head for any reason other than mere sympathy.
Unlike the foolish Adele, Elesia is the type of person who can think things through. In other words, Elesia was saying that she was willing to be Luna’s ally in the future, and she meant what she said.
Luna was so happy that she almost jumped on Elecia.
“You’ve changed, Elesia~.”
“If that’s the case, it might be thanks to someone else.”
The girl who was so cold, huh
With a happy smile on her face, Shana looked at that someone else sideways.
But the person who changed the girl who was indifferent to others did not notice Shana’s gaze…
“So, why is the third prince eyeing you after all? To tell you the truth, it’s not just that you don’t get along, is it?”
It’s time to get down to business.
Adele threw a glance at Luna.
“Ah, yes,……, I know, we have to talk properly.”
Luna took a big breath as if she was preparing herself.
And then–
“I’m sure you’ve heard of the succession struggle?”
