“… … Please give me some time.”

I told Evan.

“You mean time?”

“That’s right. I don’t know whether I’m qualified to teach the Crown Princess or not, but since you’ve asked me directly like this, I can’t just refuse.”

Still, I was able to organize my thoughts a little thanks to Amelia coming forward and buying me some time.

“But even so, the Crown Princess… … I think I need some time to teach.”

If it’s Adele, I can teach her somehow. No matter how talented Adele is, she won’t be able to beat my swordsmanship.

Of course, Adele may be better when it comes to the basics, but the physical strength of a Delki City graduate is completely different from that of a typical swordsman.

but… … Evan is a sword master.

What if the teacher can’t overcome the disciple?

“Got it.”

The face that had been so dejected just a moment ago became bright again.

How can your face brighten up this much when you haven’t even offered to look at it yet?

I don’t know how the person who seemed so cold in the original ended up like this.

The only thing that has changed is me.

… … .

Could it be that I made it like this?

*

After class, as usual, I returned home and talked about what happened today.

Amelia and I solved even the smallest things by talking about them in this way. Even if it was something I couldn’t come up with in my head, I was able to come up with a plausible solution if Amelia lent her thoughts.

“What do you want to do?”

But today’s Amelia said something a little different than usual.

“Me?”

“That’s right.Because you are teaching.Your heart is the most important.”

I was happy that Amelia’s voice seemed to believe me, but the problem was that there was no conclusion to the story.

But that didn’t mean Amelia gave a vague answer.

Amelia’s face was very serious as she looked at Ana as she sat hugging a pillow.

“What do you think of the Crown Princess?”

“Me?I… … .”

What do I think of that person?

First of all, I don’t think of her as fondly as Amelia. The point of contact between us was not that great for that kind of relationship to occur.

At least the fact that he liked Evanina seemed real. But I still don’t know why.

Why does Evan like me?

“I don’t hate it.”

Anyway, if I were to tell you how I felt, it would be like that. I did not dislike the Crown Princess.

Although it was a little uncomfortable, it seemed like he called me a friend and was making an effort to keep that title.

The process is a little… … Even so.

“Do you like it?”

Well, guess what?

I was deep in thought.

If you only look at it as a choice of like or dislike… … Still, it was difficult to say that I liked it. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it.

If I had been forced to choose between the two options, I would have had no choice but to choose yes, but I would have made a fuss about asking the other person such a strange question.

Appearance? She’s pretty. Her body is pretty good too.

But isn’t this the same problem?

“Want to be together?”

When I couldn’t answer, Amelia changed the question.

I was very worried this time too.

I don’t even want to be together. But… … .

“But I don’t want to ostracize you. I don’t want to push you away unconditionally.”

That’s right. That was roughly the feeling.

As I answered each question one by one, I felt like I could understand a little more about what I was feeling.

So, that’s it. In the end, I did think of my class as a friend.

If you ask me, I’d say I’m in the same position as Adele.

But the difference is that Adele was at least a little cautious in her relationship with me.

Since he is the main character, he is honest about his feelings and if there is something he wants, he rushes in, but he still keeps a certain distance.

But Evan doesn’t have that.

I like Evanina more than I like the crown prince. We think of each other as friends, but while one does not see the relationship as anything more than ‘acquaintance friends’, the other sees it as ‘best friends’.

Maybe that’s where the gap between me and Evan comes from.

“So, what do you want to do?”

As I gathered my thoughts and slowly put them out, Amelia asked.

“… … .”

I tossed my head around and finally opened my mouth.

“First of all, I want to try it once. Then I’ll think about what to do next.”

“Okay.”

Amelia smiled at the corner of her mouth.

“Then do whatever you want.”

At those warm words, I felt my heart relax a little.

*

Was I able to properly hide my expression in front of Elsie?

What I felt while talking with Elsie was impatience.

Should we say that in a situation where there seemed to be no competition, a competitor arose?

The Crown Princess was trying to approach Elsie. To others it might have been just a sign of friendliness, but to me it looked somewhat different.

How far does the Crown Princess have the confidence to go?

Would he be willing to give up his position and be with Elsie for the rest of his life?

If not, does he have the confidence to take Elsie away from me and make her sit next to him?

“… … .”

Elsie’s sleeping face was pretty today too.

I put my lips to Elsie’s lips again today.

side.

When I parted my lips, a small sound was heard.

After kissing like that, everything I had thought felt foolish.

In the end, it was Elsie’s decision to make.

Who will you like?

And I just try my best to be the first.

If possible, the last place.

*

The next morning.

“For now, we will do it together. However, if I decide that I cannot teach the Crown Princess, then I must step down.”

“Of course.”

When I spoke to Evan, she nodded eagerly with a bright smile on her face.

Looking at that, I feel strangely guilty. Why?

But it made me feel uncomfortable to keep thinking about that, so I turned my gaze to Adele.

“Lady Carlins, are you okay?”

“Of course!”

Adele said with a very bright expression, as if she could never miss this place.

“… … Also, you must not interfere with Adele’s training.”

“I can be confident about that. On the contrary, it may be helpful. Even if it looks like this, I am a sword master.”

If you say that much.

I looked back at Amelia. Amelia nodded with a small smile on her lips.

At least Amelia doesn’t hate it.

That’s it.

I’m putting my mind at ease like that…

“… … Over there.”

There was one person who quietly spoke to me.

“Lady Hoover.”

When I called the name of the person I was talking to, the person also greeted me lightly and said,

“Lady Delkisi.”

“Yes, what’s going on?”

I probably won’t be able to treat you the same way I treated Adele and Evan.

He was harassing Adele, and more than anything, the reason he was talking to me now was because it was so predictable.

That’s right. As a political idiot, I think the reason this person is talking to me now is—

“Could it be possible for me to attend that meeting?”

—Yeah, I knew it would be like this.

Jealousy was burning in his eyes as he looked at me, holding a fan in one hand and covering his mouth.

Of course, that jealousy wasn’t directed at me, Evan, or Amelia.

It’s probably directed at Adele.

“Do you know how to use a sword?”

“Of course. I had a great teacher.”

At those words, Adele’s shoulders trembled. Evan’s eyes were seen moving.

Before he could open his mouth after seeing my face, I spoke first.

“Like.”

Evan’s eyes and Amelia’s eyes widened at those words. It was a little funny to look at me at the same time.

But I also have thoughts.

Ina had the power to break the arrogance of this proud young lady.

“Are you confident that you will not give up midway?”

When I asked, Lady Hoover’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Did I hurt her pride?

I read in a novel that he had learned swordsmanship in his own way, but I had no idea that it was something that would boost his self-esteem.

“Because I had a great teacher.”

“… … .”

Looking at that provocative smile, I laughed inwardly.

Don’t regret it later.

*

“Ha, ha… … .”

“Ha—hoo.”

Amelia had already become limp. She was the one being protected by me in the first place, so it was natural that she was not stronger than me.

Adele and the Hoover ladies—well, they were great in their own way.

In particular, the Lady Hoover had a competitive spirit that surprised even me. Although I will never be able to look at her personality favorably, I honestly cannot help but acknowledge her perseverance.

In the novel, he appeared as a third-rate villain.

Adele, who was next to me, was looking at Lady Hoover with startled eyes. Although she herself was glaring at me, I didn’t notice.

And one other person.

Evan was just watching us from afar.

I guess it’s because he’s a sword master.

It’s a bit of an ambiguous skill to take a class with two other people. In many ways.

There was a bit of anticipation on his face as he smiled at me, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

hmm.

“Let’s give it a try.”

Well, good.

For now, let’s train the two in front first.

After that, you can think about it for a while.
