episode_0079
by fnovelpiaAfter playing several songs in a row, the band took a short break.
20 minutes. Prom intermission time.
The men and women gathered in groups of twos and threes were looking at the center as if they were watching for fun.
There was Prince Esteban, who grabbed Yuri’s wrist without moving a single step even though it was break time, and Ian Rippleton, who also grabbed Yuri’s wrist.
A woman with hair as red as a blazing flame raised her glass. A love triangle between three people reflected through a transparent liquid.
“You’re young.”
Despite the bloody atmosphere, she, Luvia Esselrod, summed it up in one word.
“Kkkk. His Royal Highness is older than us.”
Chang – Her drinking glass shook with a clear sound. The silver-haired young man, Yugo Estral, clinked his glasses together in a familiar manner and drank.
“Then, it’s not worth the night, that’s right.”
Luvia just frowned slightly and tilted her glass.
“Ruvia… The chairman’s tone was different.”
Yugo shook his head and stood up.
Other student council executives also spoke.
“Looking at the atmosphere, it looks like a stabbing is going to happen right now.”
“You’re brave. No matter what, you are disobeying His Highness the Crown Prince.”
All of them were high-ranking nobles of count or higher.
Only Maria remained silent and looked in the opposite direction.
Irene Castine, the second daughter of the Count Castine family, who was in charge of accounting for the student council, narrowed her eyes.
“Chairman, it seems like you are not interested in this interesting sight.”
-She leaned back on the sofa, holding a wine glass and speaking slowly.
“That’s my younger brother’s love life-”
Kyle, a clerk and her twin brother, took a deep breath while speaking. He felt Maria’s murderous gaze.
Stupid brother. Irene glanced at me with those eyes and opened her mouth.
“Chairman. Should we put pressure on the County of Aeneas?”
She, who is still only a student, will put financial pressure on the countess. Even though her voice was so calm, no one here doubted her abilities.
“No.”
Maria shook her head. It was a very tempting comment, but it definitely crossed the line. My younger brother will hate it.
This kind of conversation was not just theirs. I could tell just by looking at the table right across from me.
“What about you guys?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean Princess Marian and Lady Yuri.”
To some it was serious, but to those watching it was just entertainment.
“Now that I think about it, His Royal Highness also asked Princess Marian to dance.”
Their alcohol-fueled conversation was no different from that of rough mercenaries.
“Well, doesn’t Princess Marian have a prettier face?”
“Still, Lady Yuri’s body is like that. Aren’t my breasts big? ”
“The princess is now 15 years old.”
In fact, most of them were intoxicated by the atmosphere.
“Puhahaha. If you think about it that way, isn’t Lady Yuri also 17 years old?”
“That body at 17 years old.”
There were many groups, but their fire was either Marian or Yuri.
“Ah. I couldn’t become the princess’s partner until the end.”
“Did you spend this year too?”
“Isn’t it okay to organize your letters?”
Unlike Yeongsik, who tips his glass as if feeling the afterglow. ‘Bang, bang, bang!’ Yeongsik slammed the table and began to lament.
“There are only 10 invitations I sent to the ladies!”
“Like that.”
“What’s more, Lady Yuri showed a positive reaction!”
“Well. Lady Yuri is kind. If it weren’t for your highness, I think I could have performed a good song.”
Table led by 4th graders. As they were about to graduate, a dance party with alcohol and music excited them.
“Princess Marian today… she had a waist so small that it seemed like she could be held with both hands, and she was just… really pretty.”
“Satisfied just by looking at it. In the first place, juniors may not know this, but if we are caught flirting with the princess, we will be killed by the chairman.”
“Puhaha. That’s right. That’s right.”
“Today was the first time I saw Princess Marian smile like that.”
“The chairman’s younger brother, doesn’t he always have a cold expression?”
“I’m only talking about it here, but isn’t the president really pretty?”
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that?”
“The problem is because I’m scared.”
Some time passed, and when they, who were completely drunk, heard Maria’s story, they nodded vigorously as if they had sobered up.
“The chairman is definitely scary before he’s pretty.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
The exciting atmosphere calms down little by little. The male student who felt puzzled raised his hand.
“Me. But why is the chairman so scary?”
“Hmm. Does your junior not know?”
“Yes… He just said that the seniors were scary… He told me never to mess with the chairman. Well… she’s younger than me, but she’s my senior, she’s the duke’s daughter, and she’s the chairman, so that never happened in the first place.”
They only paid attention to what their junior said. Even though they were completely drunk, they were still clumsy and asked, ‘Can I talk?’ It was a time when I was muttering and thinking.
“… yes. Normally, unless you are quite an idiot.”
Yugo, who happened to be patrolling, said.
“Wow, we didn’t say anything.”
“Ma, that’s right.”
Even though they were nobles, they froze and froze.
“Haha. Smile, smile. This is a party.”
Yugo spoke energetically and patted their backs with his wide hands.
“Yes… ?”
The junior, unable to understand the situation, tilted his head.
‘hmm. Because I’m graduating now. It’ll be okay.’ After muttering that, Yugo opened his mouth.
“The story I’m going to tell you from now on is something that happened when I was a freshman, which means the president was a freshman.”
Students gathered around, swallowing their saliva in an atmosphere that seemed like a ghost story.
“At the time, the chairman did not get along with anyone. Rather than having a conversation, he was always alone with a look on his face as if he didn’t like something.”
“No matter how much the duke’s daughter is, the president who is younger than us is the top of the grade. Also, if you do that all the time, there are people who will be upset. The chairman at the time was much younger than he is now… .”
It was a joint class time for the swordsmanship department. The first joint class, which also served as an orientation for new students, had a light atmosphere.
The theme of the class is free training. As the professors withdrew, the atmosphere became freer and many words were exchanged.
A man in a pure white uniform flicked his bangs with his fingers. Silver hair sparkled in the light.
“No matter how senior you are, you’re a woman, so your physical strength probably isn’t great.”
His eyes turned to Maria, who was sitting on a bench and reading a book.
Even though he must have heard it, he didn’t even blink.
As he said, most of the men were showing off their strength or swinging swords, while the ladies were sitting on the bench and watching. There were some daughters who were purely admiring, and others who were taking a break from running on the playground.
As the top student in the swordsmanship department, other male students had already gathered together like a clique.
There were still some ladies running around the playground or swinging swords, but the difference in the ratio of men and women was clear.
“After death. Your voice is too loud. Then I will listen.”
“Are there any mistakes? This is the place to learn sacred swordsmanship. They say it suits women knitting on a bench.”
It was a loud voice. The students who had been looking at him with admiration for his upright posture and splendid sword dance also changed their eyes. But he regained his momentum.
He laughed evilly as the students avoided eye contact.
‘It has to be like this.’
Yugo Estral. As the eldest son of the Marquis of Estral, he was steeped in the idea of men being superior to women.
‘It’s worth a look for scared little bastards.’
It was then.
A female student approached.
“Cancel.”
“This. Aren’t you Lady Luvia?”
“Your remarks are deceiving all the female students here.”
She was speaking now as the daughter of a marquis, not as a student.
“Haha. Did I say something wrong? Even you, the runner-up, can’t even keep up with me when it comes to swordsmanship?”
“…I know you’re excellent, but not to that extent.”
Yugo extended his sword. A threatening aura flickered from the sword that seemed like a decoration for a sword dance.
Luvia’s head slowly turns. It wasn’t touching or grazing my body. A sword that just pierced the air. I can feel my body shaking just from that alone.
I felt pathetic at myself for being intimidated by insignificant threats. But it was something a gentleman would never do.
‘I have to say it.’
Anyone can see that it was Yugo’s fault. Luvia grabbed her two trembling hands. I pursed my mouth several times, but no voice came out.
“Excuse me, I felt like something was wrong, but it’s my mood.”
Yugo, who raised his sword, smiled bitterly.
‘also. No matter how good your overall score is, it doesn’t make sense that you are in third place and the woman in front of you is in second place.’
“Lady Rubia. A woman must be discreet and obedient.”
“Bullshit only happens in delusions.”
Yugo sighed. The voice that was suddenly heard was heard in everyone’s minds, even though it was small.
‘Marianne said we had to make sure to step on these things.’
Maria muttered softly and walked slowly.
“If you understand, shut up and frown.”
It was a sharp tone that contrasted with the clear voice.
Yugo tried to refute immediately, but couldn’t. I couldn’t breathe due to the threatening energy pressing on me.
‘Damn it…!’
I swung my sword and drove away the energy.
“And then there was you too.”
It was the moment when Yugo’s sword was aimed at Maria. The pure white sword body caught fire. The black flame seemed to be devouring the auror, and soon the sword itself disappeared as if burning.
It happened in an instant.
“Wow, our family heirloom!”
Yugo mutters in disbelief.
Maria walked slowly.
“What are you doing…”
As she got closer, Yugo started to sweat and ended up hitting his butt.
“He pretended to be proud and looked good.”
“Sure.”
I heard a voice that sounded like it was mocking me, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to turn around.
“Now, wait!”
It was a slow walk, but Maria did not stop.
“Well, what are you thinking of doing?”
Maria’s shoe stepped on Yugo’s crotch.
“Gasp…!”
The sound of the flagship was heard everywhere. No matter how sharp the shoes were, the marble floor would dent.
“Ah. I missed it.”
Yugo fainted after hearing a grave voice.
* * *
“It gives me chills just thinking about it.”
After finishing the story, Yugo sighed.
“And what happened?”
Before I knew it, many students had gathered to listen to his story.
“After that, nothing happened. A man who realized his limitations found a master worth serving. That’s all. It’s a shameful story when you think about it.”
“Senior! No way, that’s the story now.”
This was when a young lady who could not contain her curiosity raised her hand.
“After death. What are you doing with your juniors?”
Luvia said and glanced at Yugo. The expressions of the students sitting in a circle clearly showed that they were disappointed that their conversation had stopped.
“Ah. Vice President Rubia. for a moment. I told a story about my immature days. I guess I’ll start again soon. How about one song?”
Yugo smiled loosely and made exaggerated hand gestures to ask for a dance.
It was so funny that Luvia held her forehead and burst into laughter.
“Haha!”
Even while Luvia was smiling, Yugo’s hand did not move away. Luvia gently covered the corners of her mouth and raised her hand.
Even though it’s been quite a while since I went to high school, it was unimaginable when I think back to when I entered school.
“Willing.”
Luvia gently raised her hand. As soon as she agreed, Yugo also pulled her strongly with a happy face. At the same time, he held her waist with his other hand and supported her.
“Can you win today?”
Yugo, who was close by, spoke mischievously differently from before.
“…I will win.”
As soon as Rubia answered, the two began dancing. Even though it was a fast-paced song, the faster, more lively, combative dance began.
Whatever the reality, the students expressed their admiration.
“Wow. As expected, Yugo-senpai and Luvia-senpai match really well.”
“They look like a couple drawn from a painting. They are both successors to the marquis.”
Under the colorful lights, the two people’s dance like fire and ice was enough to capture everyone’s attention.
“Hehehe.”
Luvia laughed.
“What’s wrong?”
Yugo naturally slowed down his steps and was considerate of Luvia.
“Just.”
Luvia thought this wasn’t a bad thing.
