“Prince Rommel! Where are you going now?”
“The place of the appointment.”
“A meeting place? Have you made an appointment with anyone?”
“Yeah, I have someone I need to meet.”
“That’s right! If Prince Rommel is the one to meet, he’s probably an important person!”
” answer. “
” ..wow.”
He lightly stroked Louis’s hair, who got the correct answer, and left the infirmary.
The time was a little tight, but if I walked in a hurry, I managed to get the time right.
A promise to the princess, to hear the answer to the question I asked on a day when the rain was pouring down.
I started walking towards the cafe, the place where I had planned to meet with Louis.
Hans looked at us with a firm face to see if there was anything he had to do in the infirmary, and in the end, only Louis and I had to go to the meeting place.
“By the way… it’s unfortunate what happened just before…”
Louie, who was feeling my touch with a groaning sound, licked his lips as if it was a pity.
The last thing Louis said was… it must have been about Garcia.
“I can’t help it, because I need time to think about it myself.”
“..you seem to have a lot of trouble.”
Garcia’s appearance on the battlefield is nowhere to be seen, and I can’t wait to see Garcia swaying continuously at my words.
I thought this country was really rotten.
The fact that the samurai families who raised their swords to protect the country are only politically oriented, you have to keep an eye on them.
Garcia’s vicious sword wielding on the battlefield was nowhere to be seen.
“If you have an idea, you’ll come to me sooner or later. I’m confident that I can walk comfortably like this.”
If Garcia’s existence was desperately needed, I would have brought him to the party even on my knees.
“..Seeing this, Garcia is truly amazing..I am completely dependent on my father..”
“At that age, it’s true that you depend on your father, and besides, Louis’ family is wealthy. There’s no need to sympathize with others just because your situation and position are different.”
because I can’t live.
for being poor.
Hatred and anger towards rich and wealthy people is a wrong way of thinking.
on the other way.
because you have a lot of money
for being wealthy.
Giving needless sympathy to the poor is also a wrong way of thinking.
A person should be viewed only as a person.
Giving a helping hand is only necessary when the person is really struggling and asking for help.
“Hehehe…! Hearing Prince Rommel’s words made me feel a little better!
“Thank you, it’s something I can say as a friend.”
“..haha..a close friend..not yet..”
” what? “
“Nothing!”
weird.
I think he was muttering something.
“By the way, who are you going to meet? Didn’t Prince Rommel dislike such troublesome promises?”
“They are more important than the feeling of annoyance.”
“Then let me know too! If it’s such an important person, I shouldn’t have to prepare my heart in advance!”
Seeing Louis clenching his pockets and speaking confidently, I told him about the important person he had no choice but to meet.
“I’m on my way to meet Princess Herze.”
“You’re a princess! You’re a very important person… Woah, did you say that you’re a princess?”
“Yeah, is there something wrong?”
“Hey, have you ever met the princess at a private place?”
“If it’s a matter of fact, it’s public, because it’s a meeting place for work.
“..Ising.”
Biting my little finger, I’m so nervous right now! Louie spewing out the doctor.
‘ ..the princess is a little scary, isn’t it? ‘
Apparently, Louis was still having a hard time with the princess.
The inaccessible aura and atmosphere that comes from the status of a princess… It’s a little difficult for ordinary people to handle.
I also had similar thoughts with Louis, but I changed my mind when I saw the princess’s tears that day.
Even if the place or identity is different.
In the end, it was that people had the same troubles and that the Imperial Palace was seriously overhauled.
“Don’t worry, Louie. You’re still a good person. Nothing to worry about will ever happen.”
“That’s not the problem…! Whoa… No!”
Louie frowned as he tapped his chest with a small hand to see if his chest was stuffy.
Unable to say anything further, Louis just walked forward in silence.
‘ ..driving me crazy. ‘
And this uncomfortable silence continued until we arrived at the appointed place.
*******
“Long time no see, Prince Rommel.”
A princess was waiting for us on the terrace on the second floor of a cafe somewhere in the school.
The princess who welcomes Louis and me with a cup of tea elegantly.
” Forgive me for being late. “
“Sorry to keep you waiting…”
The fact that the princess is waiting at the meeting place first is because it was true that we, who were of lower status than the princess, made a big mistake.
Louis and I bowed our heads and asked the princess for forgiveness.
“Fufu, it’s okay. I just came first because my body was hot.”
The princess smiled as she fluttered her shiny golden hair.
“Then excuse me.”
” Excuse me..! “
Louis and I sat opposite the princess.
At the end of the gaze of the princess who was facing each other, there was Louis, and Louis also stared at the princess.
As a strange current flowed between the two of them, I hurriedly asked the princess a question.
“Did you rent the whole cafe?”
“Yeah, that’s right. There shouldn’t be any rats secretly listening to important stories.”
The princess smiled brightly and answered the question.
Somehow, when I came up here, I didn’t see anyone.
I couldn’t even get a sense of how much money I had to spend to rent the whole expensive cafe.
” ..that’s great.”
“What, I’m the academy’s student council president?”
I shrugged my shoulders and looked at the princess with her lips lit up, and I decided to bring it up from the beginning.
Something… if the story leaked somewhere else, it could be a headache.
” ..as I said before..it.”
“Ah, if that’s what you’re talking about…”
What I was talking about was the question of whether I could meet the Emperor.
As long as the 2nd Prince showed interest in me, I couldn’t sit still and watch the situation.
“I sent a letter to Abamamama. Whether it’s rejected or accepted, I’ll get back to you soon.”
” ..I hope a good answer comes back.”
“You’ll get a good answer. I’ve leaked the story about Prince Rommel to the Prime Minister.”
“Your Master?”
“Yeah, it sounds like you’re intrigued.”
“It’s nice to hear you.”
“Maybe the prime minister will give the news to Abamamama.”
I was able to put my mind at ease, perhaps thanks to the good news coming out of the princess’s mouth.
If the emperor had completely given up on the princess, it was clear that she would not have given such a room, so the answer from the princess this time was very suggestive.
As we continued the conversation with the princess alone, Louie secretly grabbed my arm as if he didn’t like the situation.
I was taken aback for a moment by Louis’ action of grabbing her arm with her tiny hand, but I thought that it could be, of course, with the princess in front of me.
“Louis?”
“I have a cold, so it’s a little cold! Prince Rommel is warm, so I’ll just stay here for a second! Hehe!”
“You must have overdone it during the counter-resistance, go to the dormitory later and rest well.”
“Of course!”
“..the two of you seem to have a special relationship with each other.”
“It’s special! This time, I’m going on a trip to my estate!”
” …a trip?”
This time, the princess picked up the teacup with trembling hands.
tuck tuck.
The princess who picked up the teacup with her trembling hands began to change her complexion to pale but a little, and Louis looked at the princess with an expression of equal strength.
“The two of you are so special that you even go on a trip together..?”
“Yeah, well. First of all, we’re just friends. Going to a friend’s house to play is common among close friends.”
“A close friend… huh. That’s right.”
The princess smiled as soon as she seemed to like my answer.
On the other hand, as before, Louis is restless as before, and the strength in the hand that is holding it tight.
What the hell is going on?
I don’t even know the queen’s mind.
I don’t even know the psychology of Louis, who now looks like he’s droopy and disappointed.
“That’s right! If we’re close friends, it’s natural to go home! But do you know that? Louie Young-ae?”
” ..which.. “
“I and Prince Rommel are also close friends.”
“?!”
Louie slowly turned his head to this side and dropped his body as if he had received a lot of shock.
“..Dr. Rommel..I wasn’t the only best friend…? Why…”
“No, everyone is wrong..”
In the end, I swallowed hard as I watched Louis begin to form tears in her eyes.
Louis questioning me with eyes as if looking at a traitor.
The fact that a thorn sprouted from where I was sitting was just the fact that I was sitting here, and uncomfortable emotions were rising.
“Louis Young-ae, Prince Rommel’s friendship doesn’t end with me.”
” ..what, what?!”
“It seems that the other side is also ready. We should prepare soon.”
What is it, what other schemes have you come up with?
pair.
Before the uneasy sign could go away, the princess clapped her hands.
“It’s fine with me, Rosé.”
” …I’m ashamed..It’s really crazy and shameful…”
A girl starts walking towards this side from the other side of the terrace.
Red hair reminiscent of roses, long hair hanging down, and gorgeous ribbons that hold fluttering hair.
She looks at her in an old-fashioned dress and looks at her shyly and raises her hand carefully.
“Oh… it’s been a while. Rommel.”
Rosé-senpai, who was not sure what to do and was ashamed of her outfit, was standing there.
