175. Debt of the Heart (1)
“… … .”
A thick curse word that came out of nowhere from the beginning.
There was silence for a moment.
The saintess said sorry, but hurriedly covered her face and turned her head away.
He greeted the children in the manner of an aristocrat.
“… … My introduction is late. Are you at peace? I am Lily of the duchy of Ira in the north. My name is Lily Era.”
Academy students do not exchange formal greetings with each other, but
It is absurd to not receive greetings when children of equal dukes are not even from the same student.
Serena and Iriel exchanged puzzled glances, got up from their seats, straightened their clothes, and greeted her with the same manner.
“Yes, are you okay? Princess. I am Serena Joheiden of the Duke of Joheiden.”
“… … Are you at peace? I am Iriel Justia of the Duke of Justia.”
“This is Yuri Gilbert.”
“So, it’s a soy spoon.”
Yuri and Soyi follow them and stand up hesitantly and greet each other with awkward gestures.
A deep smile formed on Lily’s lips.
“Whoops. By any chance, is everyone free now?”
“… … ?”
After exchanging greetings out of the blue, a northern princess asks if it’s time.
“Perhaps, I think, you are curious about why I am here, so I judged you to be here. Is that right?”
“… … Yes.”
Let Serena answer. Lily clapped her hands together as if it went well.
“Finally, I was also the car you guys were curious about. There is a good teahouse I know of near here. If you don’t mind, why don’t you talk to the girls there for a while?”
The offer was rather welcome to the children.
Even if it wasn’t, I was curious about what the hell Zeke and this woman were talking about inside.
There was no one on the other side who would refuse to talk first.
It was strange that his personality changed slightly, but for now, all the children nodded.
“like.”
“Me too.”
Let’s nod our heads shyly
Lily smiled brightly and led the way, and the women began to follow her.
Except for Ross Nante.
“I, I… … ?”
*
The place that Lily pointed out was a tea house, located between the alleys of Jedo’s shopping street, with a very shabby exterior.
None of the children knew there was a place like this on the island.
Wariness naturally rose in an unfamiliar place, but it did not mean that he had entered Zeke’s class in the meantime.
The children naturally raised their mana and began to prepare for sudden situations.
But, except for soy.
Soyi was in a very confused state in a different sense.
The day before, when a princess from the north came to her shop.
At that time, she suddenly revealed the color of her hair and eyes.
I didn’t have time to think about it.
It was strange.
It was really strange.
It was so very strange.
Soi’s eyes shook like earthquakes from embarrassment.
‘… … why… … ? what the hell why… … . Those feelings… … .’
You’re not familiar with the hostage incident in the Laios Mountains before. Let’s say it’s okay to direct those feelings toward yourself.
‘… … No, that’s weird too, but anyway, let’s just say that.’
Soi’s eyes turned to his classmates.
Seeing how they greeted each other a moment ago, it seemed certain that Iriel, Serena, and Yuri were also seeing her for the first time.
Their emotions were also one of embarrassment and tension.
Even now, it was difficult to see that they had known each other just by raising their mana and being alert.
On the other hand, she considers herself a northern princess. If you look at the woman introduced as Ira… … .
The deep affection and feelings of guilt that had been directed to oneself were at almost the same concentration.
They were heading towards Serena, Iriel, and Yuri.
‘… … what the hell… … .’
I couldn’t understand anything, but it must be a dangerous place to be guided by a person with such feelings.
And as expected, open the door of the store
A teahouse with a rustic atmosphere greeted them.
There are no customers, just the old owner wiping the tea cups with a cloth.
He was still preoccupied with washing glasses when guests came.
It was a space that somehow made me feel at ease.
Just like Hilllace Bakery.
The children who looked around with such nervous faces relaxed as if they were sure there was nothing suspicious.
“It is not a suspicious place. It’s okay to let go.”
Seeing that, Lily said with a wry smile.
“The shopkeeper here is deaf. So you don’t care at all if I tell you a secret? Still, the taste of the drink will be guaranteed, so please look forward to it. Maybe everyone will like it.”
As if she was used to it, she tore off a piece of paper on the shelf and wrote down the order with a quill.
“Because this is a place I have been to many times. I’ll order it myself. Then would you all take a seat first?”
The children glanced at her and sat down at a table in the corner.
“… … Wow, to think there was a place like this in the islands… … .”
Serena sat down and looked around the store, exclaiming in admiration.
A fresh woody scent emanating from an old tree.
Although it is not sophisticated, the interior is clean as if a lot of attention was paid to the management of the store.
Decorated with old antiques, the atmosphere was subdued and comfortable.
Just sitting there makes me feel at ease.
“… … Wake up, flower garden.”
From the side, Iriel stabbed Serena, who was intoxicated, in the waist.
“As expected, I’m not suspicious… … ?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“As far as I know, I heard that the princess of the north has never left the north… … . This is our Papa… … . Oh no.”
Iriel unknowingly used the nickname ‘Papa’ and then evasive words in a hurry.
Her face turned red like the color of her hair.
“Hmm. Oh, it’s a story I heard from my father. Are you sure. However, as if you have been to this place often, you are guided like this… … ?”
“I know… … . My father also said he knew nothing about the North… … . Maybe you just sneaked out… … .”
Didn’t Serena herself sneak out of the duchy and head to the academy?
Of course, as it turned out later, everyone in the duchy knew about it.
“Do you think the northern part is the same distance to the islands as your Joheiden? And the northern part that is tightly wrapped up. The princess secretly went out and allowed her to come into the system several times… … ? Is that without our family or the imperial family?”
“… … That’s for sure… … . It’s award-winning.”
When a person equal to a princess from the north came to Jedo, moving alone without a single escort.
Even if you can do it once or twice. The North would never have left her like that.
It was even more absurd that a girl of her own age would come and go like that, avoiding the eyes of the imperial family and Justia.
“Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, I don’t know what that woman is going to say. Still, don’t just listen straight away. It’s better to keep your mind straight. Soy. Yuri you too.”
“yes.”
“Yes… … .”
Yuri nodded as if she understood.
Soi replied shyly.
“Whoops. What were you all talking about?”
The northern princess, Lily, has returned from her spell.
* * *
Even after his classmates and the woman who introduced herself as a northern princess disappeared,
Rosnante sat in the hallway with a blank expression, still looking in the direction they had disappeared.
“… … Lily Ira, the princess of the Northern Ira family. I said.”
Rosnante spit her name out of his mouth as if he were thinking about it.
“To me… … . Dare I… … . Rice, sick… … . young… … .”
Raw, vulgar profanity I’ve never heard of.
It was an unfamiliar word that he had never heard even from Ilios, his half-brother whom he hated like himself and his enemy.
Even his peers, who are now in a fairly comfortable relationship, have an appropriate level of courtesy.
If someone did it to you, even if it was someone who allowed your heart, it would be a serious insult that you couldn’t just go over.
Even spitting it out in front of other people watching is a serious matter of face. It was an insult to the imperial family.
kung
kung
But Rosnante’s heart was beating like it was out of order.
Even now, her appearance is still haunting.
Dark black hair as if it symbolized the night, and eyes that held firearms as if they were sparkling in the black night.
A delicate body, like a glass that is about to break.
Pure white skin like the first snow that no one has stepped on.
“… … A woman who can say that to my face… … .”
In a class with only 4 girls in 5 members, Zeke Kleiman’s swordsmanship class with no looks.
Although he lived there, his eyes for women naturally rose vertically.
“This is the first time.”
At this moment, Rosnante fell into an irresistible love.
Ohh!! I like this but seeing his character he won’t likely become bad but instead attempt to woo and fight the instructor and she will become his goal to be more better.
Rosnante is a shitload of a character, you dare!!!
