167 – [Side Story] Student from the East Continent – 26
After Chris was arrested, some time passed.
Perhaps because of the big incident of Chris’s arrest, the crown prince and his party showed a cautious attitude.
They weren’t that stupid either.
Chris Maletti, I understood right away that he had done something worthy of being arrested and that he would not be able to avoid the death penalty.
“Chit”
Well, if I encountered Sir, I would at least click my tongue.
And, the fake Alyssa Leifert in question
Even though one of her allies named Chris retired, she did not show much on the outside and showed her sadness.
“I never thought Chris would do something like that… It’s such a shame…”
As she said that, the crown prince and Nord consoled and comforted her as she was sad.
In fact, it was because she encouraged Chris to go on such a rampage, but there was no way they would know.
Even though she ‘pretended’ to be so sad, her true nature was revealed in her own room in her dormitory.
“That incompetent bastard!! Why do you want me to leave it to you? What will he do if he gets arrested?!”
As usual, fake Alyssa loses her temper by picking up a pillow on the bed and throwing it against the wall with all her might.
She had been angry for a while, but she somehow calmed down. She cleaned up her room herself and went to sleep.
Her familiar, the Holy Beast Bedrpolnir, who watched her appearance and every move, reported her movements to Sir.
But still, the location of the curse medium that fake Alyssa Leifert must have hidden.
Evidence to prove that she was a fake was not easily found.
And then, about two weeks passed.
“Sir! Good morning!”
If there was anything to be thankful about, it was that the real Alyssa had regained her strength.
She was originally a lively and strong personality, and as she overcame her physical pain and mental shock, she began to brighten noticeably.
Of course she would make a sad face when she thought about her own situation or heard her talk about her father, but nevertheless she quickly began to adapt to her current situation. Did.
“I’ve prepared breakfast. I’ll serve it now.”
She said she couldn’t stay still, so she took it upon herself to clean Sir’s room and prepare meals, saying that she would at least help with housework.
Sir and Rilu tried to stop her considering her situation, but she eventually agreed because she had a strong request and Rilu was busy with various background investigations.
And, one more thing.
“Then, I’ll be back!”
“Yes. Please take care of yourself.”
Now she has recovered sufficiently mentally to be able to go out.
Of course, it would be bothersome for the fake Alyssa to be noticed, so she had to wear a hood while walking around, but even so, she showed a significant improvement in her mental stress by being able to go out.
We are still limiting ourselves to a distance that does not deviate too much from this dormitory, but that is gradually expanding.
And then, something happened.
While Sir was at her academy, Alyssa went out. She
Of course she still felt the fear creeping up her spine as she breathed in the open air, but she also felt that she had to get used to it.
She can’t be in Sir Sir’s care forever.
Mr. Leelu said that Sir Sir came directly from the distant eastern continent with an important mission.
The East Continent, an unknown land seen only in books.
Alyssa, who is very curious, was filled with the desire to ask about this and that, but desperately held back.
But on the day when Sir Sir’s important mission is completed, I really wanted to hear his story.
“Wow!”
Maybe I was too lost in my thoughts, but I didn’t even notice that there was someone in front of me.
After bumping into him and hitting his buttocks, Alyssa reflected on her actions.
“I’m sorry. Can you stand up?”
A hand extended to oneself.
Frowning slightly at the slight pain felt in his buttocks, Alyssa held his hand.
“It’s okay…I’m sorry for not being able to think about it.”
Alyssa stood up with support.
Only now was he able to see the face of the person standing in front of him.
He was a man with short, almost white blue hair and a dignified expression.
His body was covered in sturdy armor.

He thought it hurt a little when he hit it, and it must have been the armor’s fault.
“Armor…? I don’t think it’s imperial armor…”
“Ah…Yes, I am a knight of the Kingdom of Lumiel.”
“Lumiel Kingdom!!”
The Kingdom of Lumiel was a country located far north of the Ardian Empire.
The climate is quite cold, but it is not so much that people cannot live in it, so it is a country with a considerable population and size.
Of course, it is nothing compared to a huge country like the Ardian Empire.
The greatest characteristic of the Lumiel Kingdom lies in its knights, a knighthood so strong that it can truly be called the ‘strongest’ in the Western Continent.
Although their numbers are small, the knights selected through strict selection and testing are the elite of the elite.
In other words, a knight of the Kingdom of Lumiel can be said to enter the realm of the elite.
Alyssa had also read about the Kingdom of Lumiel in books and newspapers.
A knight from the Kingdom of Grymiel stood before his eyes.
“From that far away to here…!!”
“I have some business to attend to… It seems I’m not the only one.”
Saying so, the knight pointed to one side with his finger.
As I followed the knight’s finger and turned my gaze, I saw figures of various appearances heading towards the imperial palace in the distance.
Completely different outfits, completely different patterns.
Quite a number of people were heading towards the imperial palace.
“Today is the day the Continental Congress is held, and our Lumiel Kingdom is also participating.”
“So…So…? But can you tell me that?”
“Huh? Well, it’s not something to keep secret, and it’s not something to be hidden when so many people are walking around, right?”
“That’s definitely true.”
Two people talking like that and laughing hahahaha.
Then, the knight stopped laughing and held out his hand again.
“I am Rex of the Lumiel Kingdom. May I ask your name?”
“Ah…Yes! I…”
At that moment, Alyssa closed her mouth.
The thought of whether I could easily say my name passed through my mind for a moment.
… Mr. Leelu said that if an unavoidable situation arises where he has to give his name, he should use a pseudonym as appropriate.
“I…Well, my name is Reese.”
“Lisra, I remembered.”
The knight Rex, who was laughing mischievously, suddenly looked in a different direction.
When Alyssa looked in that direction, a man wearing the same armor as Rex was waving his hand.
“Oops, it looks like a colleague has arrived. I guess I should go.”
“Yes, please cheer up.”
“Okay, thank you for your support.”
With that said, the two parted ways with a smile.
Rex, a knight of the Lumiel Kingdom, looked at the back of the girl walking away.
“Lisra… She was an amazing child.”
Although she couldn’t see her face properly because she was wearing a hood, she strangely felt a closeness to the girl.
Even though I met someone for the first time today, it was the first time I felt this kind of emotion.
So, without realizing it, I revealed my name and even asked for it.
Even now that I think about it, I find it surprising that I did something like that.
“It’s here!!”
A while ago, I heard the voice of a knight running towards me, waving his hand.
Rex turned her head in that direction.
“Really, do you know how worried I was when you didn’t show up on time?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I bumped into a local on the way. I was late to apologize.”
“Are you talking about the hooded guy you were talking about earlier?”
“Oh, it was easy to talk about something, so I forgot something urgent without realizing it, right?”
Rex shrugged her shoulders.
That is true.
Normally, I would have just helped him up, apologized briefly, and then left.
But this was the first time she had talked to a girl without realizing it and even said her full name.
In fact, even Rex couldn’t understand why she did what she did.
“Is there not much time left until the meeting?”
“No, if we go from now, it won’t be too late.”
“Yes, it’s an important meeting. …Especially for our Lumiel Kingdom.”
The Kingdom of Lumiel is one of the countries with the most severe food problem in the western continent.
The Kingdom of Lumiel relies on imports for most of its food, but as all the importing countries experienced food problems, it was a fatal problem for those who depended on imports.
Therefore, we had to make sure to secure the food arriving from the East Continent this time.
The original principle is that food is distributed according to the food situation of each country, the size of the country, and the number of people based on the promise with the church, but the story is that several great powers, starting with the Kingdom of Rudman, are secretly trying to carry out a conspiracy. Because came out.
Of course, I heard that a ‘high-ranking person’ from the East Continent will personally come to coordinate this, but even so, I guess we can’t just keep sucking our fingers and watching.
That’s why Rex personally participated in this continental conference where officials from each country appeared as representatives.
“Then, let’s quickly go to the venue. Your Highness.”
“Okay, take the lead, Michail.”
Knight Rex, no.
The crown prince of the Lumiel Kingdom, Rex Olit Lumiel, followed the guard knight with a determined expression.
