88 – Grand Duke Aka – 88
“Why are you here when you should be at the academy?”
“I made it clear. I came here because of the academy.”
“You came to the imperial family with the princess, so are you asking me to believe that now?”
“Rather, since I came with the princess, wouldn’t it be natural! Brother!”
“Don’t call me brother at will! This is the Imperial Palace. Now I am Khalil Balmenga, company commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Imperial Knights.”
A conversation between two people that gets more and more heated.
Rosé and I were far away, reducing our presence and eavesdropping on their conversation.
“Gregory! Gregory! That man must be Miss Amel’s brother!”
“Yeah, it seems so. My brother is the company commander of the Imperial Knights… … . But why do you hate Amel so much?”
“In the romance novels I read, they usually fought over the position of head of the household or when one of them was an illegitimate child… … !”
“It certainly makes sense.”
And as if to prove this, the voice of Amel’s brother can be heard from afar.
“Are you ignoring me because I’m of dirty blood!”
“I’ve never thought of it that way, don’t you always say that!”
“As you said, one of them was an illegitimate child.”
“hehehe… … ! You’re an illegitimate brother! Certainly, if it’s according to the novel, the next thing is forbidden love——Eup!”
No matter how much I was, I could never forgive my close relative, so I shut Rosé’s mouth.
And, how could these two fall in love? I’m in the mood to draw my sword right now.
“I can’t. Let us go.”
“yes! As a peace-loving elf, I cannot stand still!”
After shouting that, Rosé approached the two before me.
“There are two of them! What are you doing!”
“… … Rosé?”
“Lady Euglia of Delinia?”
The two recognize Rosé’s face and look surprised.
“You there! No matter how much you are Amel’s brother, you shouldn’t speak so badly of your sister!”
“… … It’s just a family affair. I don’t think it’s anything to do with Lady Euglia.”
“no! Doesn’t matter! Amel is my senior and friend!”
Amel’s brother shook his head as if he couldn’t help it, as Rosé approached with his eyes wide open.
“… … I’ll just go Amel Balmenga. I’ll see you later.”
“Because Miss Amel is going to stick with me?! joy!”
Looking at Rosé like that, Amel puts on a puzzled expression.
“Rosé, how did you get here?”
“yes? uh… … That, that’s it!”
Rose and Amel, who suddenly looked at me with eyes asking for help, crumpled their expressions when they realized that I was at the end of their gaze.
“Gregory Jones, did you make it?”
“You are talking nonsense. I just found it while looking for a place to smoke with Rosé. Right, Rosé?”
“No, that’s right! I was looking for a secluded place and found Miss Amel by accident!”
“… … okay?”
“Yes, I came here thinking that you were being molested because you were being held by some kind of man… … Was it your brother?”
“Chu, what is indecent! There is no way I could be molested!”
As soon as he hears the word molestation, Amel gets angry and shouts.
“That, it’s just that older brother has been difficult since the old days… … .”
“It can be. I also have times when my younger brother is difficult.”
“Did you have a brother?”
“yes! They’re only a year old, but they’re so cute!”
Could it be because of Rosé’s bright smile? A smile forms on Amel’s face, which had been showing a serious expression until just now.
“Right. Surely it would be cute if it looked like you.”
“Right? Right?”
I think I’ll be more tied up here.
I got in between the two.
“We were on our way back to Baekeun Palace, would you like to go together?”
“Baekeun Palace? Well, at first I went out for a walk… … . I don’t have anything to see, so it doesn’t matter. Yes, go with me.”
We joined Amel and returned to Baekeun Palace. As soon as I returned to the room, I looked at Rosé lying on the bed and asked.
“Rosé, didn’t you notice anything strange while listening to the conversation about Amel and his brother?”
“yes? A conversation between the two of you? Where are you going?”
I continued talking while sitting on the bed where Rose was lying.
“That older brother. Are you sure your name is Karil? One of the things he said was this.”
‘Are you asking me to believe that now, since you came to the imperial family with the princess?’
“Are you going there?”
“Yes, it wouldn’t be strange for the princess to come to the imperial family if she was with her, but he said it as if it was wrong for the princess to come to the imperial family.”
“… … sure, right? Priscilla just came home.”
“Something smells.”
“… … that’s right. It smells very delicious. huh?”
Rose suddenly jumped up from the bed and looked at the front door.
“Smells delicious… … !”
At the same time, someone knocks on the door.
‘I’ve prepared a snack. Would you like some?’
“yes!”
… … Did it smell really good?
I shook my head and tried to organize my thoughts some more, when Rosé started calling me in an urgent voice.
“Gregory! Gregory!”
Rosé came running, exhaling a rough breath. I was about to ask what the hell was going on, but Rosé was so excited that she opened her mouth first.
“Wow, here we are! Miss Priscilla’s brother has come to visit!”
“… … what?”
And at the same time, a small girl walked out from behind Rosé and bowed gracefully.
“I apologize for coming to see you so suddenly. My name is Ezazel and Heinbern. She is the younger sister of the first princess, Priscilla Anne Heinbern.”
She was a conspicuous girl who looked like a miniature version of Priscilla.
Platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. And to the white skin like the first snow, if there is a difference between her and Priscilla, is it the curly hair?
The girl who introduced herself as Ezazel had curly hair.
“The princess, what is such a precious person doing here? Priscilla’s room wouldn’t be here.”
She doesn’t look like an 8-year-old, but she was a girl with very calm and intelligent eyes.
She listens to me and smiles like it’s nothing special.
“I have heard the rumors. Gregory Jones, Grand Duke of the Demon Realm. Is that right?”
“Yes, and I am asking why you came here.”
“… … You’re direct. If so, I won’t tell you back. Previously… … . Miss Euglia? You may sit… … .”
“Miss Euglia~ Un~ni. Try it.”
“… … I’m sorry, but I’m here to have a serious talk.”
“Kyaaa~ Cute! Gregory! Doesn’t it look like a real little Priscilla? How can such a cute creature exist?! Whoa… . Can I touch your cheek just once?”
“Rosé, I think it would be better to talk first.”
If I do more here, I think he’ll get really pissed off.
“… I’m sorry.”
In the end, Rose sat down next to me. Ezazel sat across from her, perhaps deciding that she was ready to talk.
“I visited you because I judged that you are the leaders among the students of ‘Summoner Academia’ in the imperial family.”
“… … For what reason did you think that? We are just normal first year students and summoned beasts.”
“A friend of mine told me. Gregory Jones. That you are no ordinary summoner.”
“Your friend?”
“… … Sandalphon.”
At the same time as her short chant, a gust of wind blew and began to form a human shape.
And soon, a blonde woman who shows up.
“hi. Gregory Jones? Long time no see?”
A guy who greets me by waving his hand as if he’s treating a friend he hasn’t seen in a while.
Angel Sandalphon.
“… … Sandalphon. Were you and I supposed to greet each other with a smile?”
“Ah~ What is it that you can’t say hello with a smile? It’s nice to see you after a long time.”
The guy who giggled at me soon moved to Rosé next to me.
“A beautiful elf girl is also with you? your summoner? Nice to meet you, I am Sandalphon.”
“Ah, four. This is Roger von Euglia.”
He blocks Rosé’s hand, which was naturally trying to take Sandalphon’s hand.
“He is an unknown guy. be careful.”
“Ah, four.”
And Sandalphon, who looks saddened by my reaction.
“It’s been a while, hasn’t it changed?”
“So are you guys.”
I’ll tell you now, but unfortunately I don’t have any memories of the past with him.
Because I was an ordinary person who only possessed the body of Gregory Jones.
However, I do know one fact.
In the past, what Sandalphon had done in the game.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to wipe out the village that helped with the disaster?’
An angel who did devilish things with an angelic face more than anyone else.
The guy who slaughtered innocent demons and demons with a single kick.
I don’t know if it’s in the game. In this place that actually existed, he was a dangerous guy.
“… … Say something. Sandalphon, Ezazel.”
princess and angel.
The two of them met each other’s eyes and then opened their mouths with expressionless faces.
“Your sister.”
“Raphael”
“Please save me.”
“Save me.”
… … what the hell is this
