Chapter 50 – The Crown Prince and the Princess’ Affairs
0Princess Anastasia. Who is she?
The emperor who commands the continent has seven empresses, including the empress. And they have twenty-five children.
Twelve princes and fifteen princesses.
It is true that the family tree, which may be testing the limits of the memorization abilities of future historians, is quite complex.
Starting with the eldest prince who was crowned crown prince, if you follow the bloodline of the emperors as their ages decline in increments of a week at the shortest or a year at the longest, you reach the youngest princess, Anastasia, at the end of the line.
Apart from the fact that she does not receive much attention, I have heard that she is a princess who is treated as a pity, but for now, she is no different from the youngest princess who is under the protection of the imperial family.
If there were someone dozing off on her head or on her shoulder, sucking on her fingers, anyone would be astonished.
Our Cecilia ended up accomplishing that difficult task.
“Princess! Hurry and separate them!”
“Can’t you stop coming down, fox tribe! “How dare you say this is safe!”
The knights who belatedly came to their senses came forward, but it was Princess Anastasia who lightly held out her hand and stopped them.
“Chief Arthur. “Please stop.”
She spoke majestically.
“It’s uncomfortable to hear discriminatory language against the fox tribe. Have you abandoned your reputation as an imperial knight?”
“Ha… This is discrimination, princess. Did you hear me properly just now? I am the princess’s knight. It’s not because I’m a fox, but even if the Great Spirit climbs on top of the princess, I have a duty to be on guard.”
She responded as the knight called Arthur touched his forehead, as if it was a common occurrence.
… Honestly, even after listening to it, I couldn’t understand what was discriminatory in what the article just said.
If an unidentified person is hanging on the body of the princess of a country, isn’t it right to hear such words?
“… I am the princess of this country. “She’s used to having a child climb on her head.”
It seems that the princess herself also felt awkward. She smiles shamelessly while swallowing dry saliva, but anyone who sees her looks embarrassed.
She was afraid that Cecilia might fall, so she laughed while supporting her child with one hand and covering her mouth with the other, and those who were speechless froze at her words.
Except for one person, the crown prince, who did not show the slightest interest at the beginning of the line.
“…… “Anastasia.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“I would have told you not to make a fuss.”

“I understand.”
Contrary to her clear answer, the princess nudged Cecilia’s tail and asked as if she was puzzled.
“But what about this child? “Maybe she’s lost?”
I see.
Should I leave now?
Is now the time?
Is it time for her to take Cecilia out?
The atmosphere among the magic swordsmen was very strict and there were many eyes watching them, so it was very noticeable for them to act carelessly.
I leisurely made my way through the crowd and asked, “Uh, why is my student there?” She calmly exclaimed, “It would be great if I could just bring that little nuisance sleeping comfortably on top of the princess’s head, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought.”
At that moment, a long sound of laughter was heard from the main building.
I thought I had misheard, but unfortunately it seems that was not the case.
An insincere voice filled with butter and protein rang out loudly.
“hahahahaha! “You’ve finally arrived!”
Click~~!
Boom!
The chairman falls from the sky.
The broken window stayed in the air for a moment before falling onto the street. The floating pieces of glass soon turned into powder and were scattered by the wind.
Someone turned sharp pieces of glass into powder.
Slight magic response. No shooting at high speed casting. It was the crown prince’s work.
“… 4-Star sword. “It’s still noisy.”
“It’s been a while. Would you rather call me the Hero of the First Holy Sword, or His Highness the Crown Prince? hahahahaha!”
“…………….”
“Are you just ignoring it? hahahahaha! Oh my, I hope you don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to offend. Then let’s call it like we normally do. But isn’t it a little late? Anyone who sees me will think I came from across a snowy field.
“… “It seems like coming to the academy was a big news story.”
When the crown prince answered briefly, the chairman and the audience, who had no idea what he was talking about, fell silent.
Princess Anastasia smiled softly and added her words.
“The fact that we were coming to the academy spread in advance, and there was a commotion at the Cloland family estate on the way. “The crown prince himself suppressed the rebellion.”
The people gathered murmured at the word ‘rebellion.’ “Rebellion? “The Cloland family?” I heard someone muttering that.
… I thought I had heard the last name Cloland before, but it wasn’t until much later that I remembered the name Rebecca.
The lover of the hero of the 6th Holy Sword Party who tried to kill Cecilia.
Her family must have been the Cloland family, a famous noble family in the empire.
The chairman nodded his head.
“Aiming the point of the sword at the empire, it was only natural for the crown prince to step forward.”
“I guess they rebelled against the Holy Sword and the Goddess, not the Empire. Either way, it is true that they contributed to the corruption of the Sixth Holy Sword.”
“……… Nice… Huh! “The students are listening.”
“What’s the problem?”
The crown prince frowned and answered briefly.
Anastasia also helped pour cold water on her audience.
“The Cloland family has previously been guilty of violating slave and tax laws, embezzlement, solicitation, premeditated murder and kidnapping, as well as contributing to the corruption of the Sixth Holy Sword. As a member of the royal family who followed the will of the Goddess, His Majesty the Crown Prince, advocating order, punished those who were unclean in the name of the warrior who was the owner of the First Holy Sword. “It became known this way after the death of the warrior Kim Yu-seong and Rebecca.”
Be hot!
I never thought that the death of Kim Yu-seong, the 6th Holy Sword, would be announced like this.
The chairman also seemed to be embarrassed and lost his momentum and turned around.
“Let’s not stay like this, let’s go in…” … Hmm? “Our princess got a new hat.”
“It’s not a hat, it’s a fox kid. Did you establish a new kindergarten division at the academy this time? “I’ve never heard of such a cute child.”
“Fox clan… ? Kindergarten? Hmm, that kid…… “
“Wait a minute.”
The crown prince looked back at me. It was so sudden that she stopped in an awkward position.
Since Cecilia was mentioned, she took advantage of this opportunity and naturally smiled and was planning on pulling it out, but she ended up getting caught in a good way.
The crown prince smiled cynically at me.
“… “Anyway, the guest I was going to call came on his own.”
***
It’s rough.
I would like to add that I find the prince’s mood uncomfortable.
Under the sky with the shadow of the empire, the ease with which he crosses his legs and straightens his back, as if to invite someone better than him, and relaxes his muscles leisurely, is uncomfortable.
Every time the smoke from the cigar in my mouth filled the room, the heavy smell of cigarettes filled my lungs. Undine, who was quietly standing behind me, frowned openly, but the prince did not even react. He probably had no intention of being considerate in the first place.
He began to show interest in Freya, who was standing side by side with me.
“It’s been a while. “The old moon of the Magic Tower, Freya.”
“… “It’s been a while since I saw you, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
Freya softly greeted me and said.
“I wonder how you are doing.”
“… As you see.”
“I see. As usual, I ask again. I expect a positive answer. “Do you plan on being my girl?”
“I’ve told you again and again, I’m sorry.”
“I see. “I’m sorry if you’re thinking of using the smell of cigarettes as an excuse again.”
He shook off the smoke from his cigarette and continued speaking.
“Or… “Is there anyone in your heart?”
While I was listening to the story, I stopped by and ended up spilling coffee on my shirt and pants.
“Cough…” !”
Crazy.
It’s clear that that kid already knew.
That damn Moonlight Chaser is mentioned everywhere. Investigating rumors around school wouldn’t have been difficult.
Actually, just hearing your name makes my heart stop.
Furthermore, less than a day had passed since I had a strange misunderstanding with Freya and got slapped.
I feel uncomfortable because things seem to be going wrong in many ways.
I quickly shook off the spilled coffee and cursed my past self for getting into trouble with pointless pranks.
“Oh, are you okay?”
Anastasia, who was carrying Cecilia on her head, asked.
Then Undine said in a wary tone, “It’s okay. “I will help you out, so don’t worry.” He patted my back and handed me a napkin.
It is truly an incredible mental strength to keep a student in check until this happens, even though he is my student.
Whether it is or not, the crown prince alone brought attention to the topic with Freya.
You don’t care whether I get burned or not.
“Wow, it looks like the rumors were true. Recently, a blood relative called Moonlight Chaser has been a hot topic in the Empire….”
“……… ….”
“Aren’t you denying it?”
“I’m sorry. “I have nothing else to say.”
“A person’s heart is thinner than a bill, and it moves more easily than a sheet of paper. You’ll find out when the time comes. That there is no choice more right than being held in my arms. “I may embrace another woman with my body, but I promise not to let another woman enter my heart.”
“……… ….”
“I won’t even mention your past life.”
I decided that there would be no end to this crazy man if I kept letting him go, so I slammed my coffee cup down on the table.
“It’s so noisy. Did you come all the way here just to do some work for a woman who didn’t like you? Can’t you see that Ignis and Undine were dragged in even though they had classes? “If you have any business, please speak up.”
“… Because it’s a class… “If the blood relatives of the Disizu family who reached the end of the Magic Tower were to receive lessons, anyone would laugh at them.”
“Should I ask the DC family siblings to at least sew up that handsome mouth? Are you asking why I called you here? “Prince.”
“I know that Anastasia and I’s purpose is known.”
The crown prince spoke in a rude manner.
“Anastasia, please convey your business directly.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The princess carefully stood up from her seat and spoke monotonously.
“I speak to you not as a princess, but as a mere warrior candidate, Anastasia. She heard that the 6th Holy Sword was left behind at the Academy. Following in the footsteps of the fallen hero Kim Yu-seong, please give me a chance to seize the 6th Holy Sword.”
