Elastine, the leader of Noblesse.

She had been feeling quite excited about the situation she had been seeing lately.

It is a pleasure that comes from the fact that you alone have discovered a secret that others have not noticed.

Although at first this was just a simple guess based on the surrounding circumstances…

As time went by and the phenomena she saw before her eyes became more and more frequent, Ellistine became convinced that her thoughts were not mere conjecture but definite facts.

‘Indeed… my prediction was right. It’s clear that our Princess Maev and Princess Katlena have formed an alliance. They have the common goal of overthrowing Elios!’

Unlike a while ago when we were extremely awkward

The relationship between two people has become much closer recently.

Elastine knew that this was a change that had occurred around the day when the alliance proposal was made through the butler named Zeros, and it could be said that this was a kind of trigger that completely solidified her thoughts.

Princess Katlena, the younger sister of Elios, who can be said to be Princess Maev’s greatest rival.

The fact that she has become their ally means that Princess Maeb is in a much more advantageous position in terms of the power dynamics within the Academy.

At this, Elastine began to feel a deep sense of anticipation for the coming counterattack, unlike before, and also began to feel joy at the prospect of improvement in her personal work.

Apart from Princess Maeb,

A secret mission related to her family’s affairs.

that..

‘If this is the case, it won’t be difficult for me to carry out the orders he gave me. After all, Princess Elios is the eldest daughter of the Duchess of Rosetta. If she and Princess Katlena have turned their backs, it would be a waste to drive a wedge between them.’

“I.. over there..”

“… .”

“Hmm..”

Two people sitting in front of me.

Looking at Princess Katlena and Princess Maev, Zeros had a troubled expression on his face.

Since then, the two people have been facing each other while sitting in a cafe instead of a classroom.

There was a cool current flowing between them that even Zero could feel.

‘I called her because Katlena requested it, but… it’s really fucking uncomfortable to sit here…’

Princess Maeb, drinking tea silently in front of you.

As always, she was oozing with the arrogance and majesty of a princess, and seeing her like this, Katlena let out a small sigh inwardly.

‘Haa… As expected. No matter how much I give in, that arrogant mode hasn’t changed at all… Well, honestly, I didn’t have high expectations, but still…’

In fact, it can be said that Princess Maeb, who stands above and looks down on others, is a daily occurrence, so in some ways, this is natural for her.

To be honest… if the other side had shown a willingness to bow down and come in regarding the previous concession, that would have been a rare sight in its own right, but as Katlena had expected, that didn’t happen.

There was silence between them for a while as they watched each other closely, and then it was Princess Maeb who spoke first.

“So, why did you come see me? I guess it wasn’t just for a simple story.”

Princess Maeb speaks with a voice full of the confidence of a princess.

However, despite her attitude, Katlena did not seem at all discouraged and spoke to her.

“Well, it’s not that grand of a reason. It’s just that… I wanted to find out what kind of person the master who likes his servant is.”

“! Ugh…umm… ”

At her one word, Princess Maeb’s expression suddenly fell and her face blushed slightly.

At this, Katlena suddenly thought, “This woman can make such a face.” Princess Maeb turned her gaze away from Katlena and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

“Well.. Well.. No matter what, Zeros is your servant. As a master, it’s only natural for him to care about his subordinates.”

“Yes, that’s only natural. No matter what anyone says, Zeros is mine.”

Katlena, talking for a while.

one side,

Princess Maeb did not attach much significance to this, recognizing it as simply a story about the master-servant relationship.

‘No matter what, the relationship between a master and servant, built on loyalty and trust, cannot be ignored. In that sense, it is only natural that the child would be wary of me.’

However, aside from that, honestly, from Princess Maeb’s perspective, I found Katlena’s appearance a little cute.

A young princess who, unlike her rival Elios, only has a relationship with Zeros as his master.

I don’t know for sure whether this child has any clear feelings for Zeros, but given the circumstances, it seems clear that she also has some feelings for Zeros.

‘In that sense, this child probably isn’t taking the relationship between Elios and Zeros that easy. From her perspective, it’s like her older sister is trying to take away the person she owns.’

From that perspective, Princess Maeb thought that Princess Katlena had quite a few similarities to herself.

Both she and herself were attracted to the man who was in love with Princess Elios, and at the same time, it was difficult for them to obtain this because of their subordinate position.

In that respect, the princess felt that the situation of the little girl in front of her was different from that of others.

‘In my case, I already conveyed my feelings and got permission to use the textbook, but… I don’t know about this child. Did she talk to her older sister like I did, or did she just keep her feelings to herself without knowing that much?’

From Maev’s perspective, there was no need to know such details, but either way, she began to view Princess Katlena in front of her as a competitor who could not be completely hostile.

Meanwhile, as she received such a gentle gaze from Princess Maeb, Katlena began to feel a little relieved as she sipped the tea in front of her.

‘Still… It seems like the concession has definitely had an effect. Judging from the way his expression has become much calmer than before… Of course, that aside, I still can’t let my guard down.’

The Princess Maeb she knew was, for one reason or another, a very greedy person.

He wouldn’t take direct offense or anything since he gave up the second spot, but he was definitely not the type of person to turn down an opportunity if one arose.

Surely, even at this very moment, this woman is waiting for the right opportunity to arise as the gap between her and Zeros widens.

To prevent this, Katlena vowed to herself that she would have to stay alert from now on, but at the same time, she felt a subtle sense of superiority about the current situation.

‘By the way. I really never thought that a day like this would come in my life… Princess Maeb. I never thought that I would put this woman under Naboa.’

Regardless of status or position, in any case, in terms of order, Zeros is first, and Princess Maev is second.

The fact that the princess, one of the few people who could compete with her older sister, was below her… was something she could accept quite pleasantly, even though she couldn’t show it openly.

“Anyway, since it’s come to this, let’s get along well from now on. Beyond the relationship of teacher and student. Be close… that is.”

“Yes, that’s fine. Princess Maev.”

So, in the same place, with the same man, you feel the same emotions, but your perspective on the other person is completely different.

The two women began to truly enjoy this oddly mixed tea party with slight smiles on their lips.

With great anticipation for an exciting trip in the near future…
