174 – [Side Story] Student from the East Continent – 33
Crown Prince Rex and his bodyguard Mikhail.
The two were touring Belnoa Academy under the guidance of Lecce Thiatis, a female student at the academy.
Of course, it was a familiar place to Rex as he had spent two years there, but it was also a place that had changed over time, so he was also enjoying looking around the academy.
Of course, the real reason Rex came to Belnoa Academy was not for tourism.
Sir Wentoth, the eldest daughter of Lady Liliana Wentoth’s family and a family who came to study in the Eastern Continent.
She came to visit because of her interest in her.
When everyone had looked around, Lecce turned around and looked at Rex and Mikhail.
“I think I’ve looked around all of the academy’s facilities. Do you have any questions?”
“Oh, I’m fine. I think I roughly understood everything from the explanation you’ve given me so far.”
Mikhail answered with a smile, and Prince Rex also nodded beside him.
A female student named Lechetia Tis gave guidance in a businesslike manner and explained each location of her academy in a very easy-to-understand manner.
I should say that Prince Rex is very good at explaining and teaching. He is secretly impressed that Prince Joshua has chosen the right person.
… Of course, Prince Rex didn’t know that she was chosen simply because Lecce was the student with the highest status after Martina.
“But…Is it true that among the current students, there is someone who studied abroad in the East Continent?”
And then, as if she felt the time had come, Prince Rex got to the point.
To his words, Lecce responded by slightly widening her eyes.
“Ah…Yes, you are in the same class as me…How do you know…?”
“hahahaha, if you’re an international student from another continent with very little interaction, you get mentioned quite a lot in social circles.”
This wasn’t a lie.
In fact, the place called the East Continent itself is becoming quite a hot topic in the social circles of the West Continent.
The exchange itself with the Eastern Continent was originally so far away that it was limited to trade between merchants.
Even if you use the fastest ship, it is a long distance that takes less than a month.
So, sometimes, some luxury items such as works of art brought from the Eastern Continent become a hot topic among the nobles and then are forgotten, which is barely a relationship.
However, due to this incident, the relationship between continents has changed significantly.
A crop failure that struck the world, and various disasters that came with it.
And by preparing for that, we succeeded in escaping from crop failures and disasters faster than those in the Western Continent.
Not only that, but also large-scale food aid at the request of the Western Continent.
As a result, interest in the East Continent itself has increased significantly, regardless of country.
In addition, stories about international students from the Eastern Continent also begin to emerge.
Not long after coming to study abroad, he took first place in all subjects on the exam, and as if to add to that, he summoned and made a contract with a dragon that briefly caused an uproar in the system.
With her interest in the East Continent already high, her level of interest in her was quite high in social circles.
Of course, because her imperial family was tightly protecting her, not many people came into contact with her openly.
“Aha…I haven’t been out in the social world since joining the academy…So I didn’t know.”
“If you focus on your studies, you tend to neglect your social life, I understand.”
In fact, it is not uncommon for more than half of the children of nobles attending the academy to disappear from social circles for a while.
The other half are either people who have given up on their studies and bet their future on socializing, or people who just enjoy having fun.
“Anyway…The morning class is over now…Won’t you take a break? I’ll guide you to the classroom if necessary…”
“Is that so? If so, please…”
Please.
Rex’s voice, which he was about to say, was suddenly drowned out by a loud noise.
A yelling sound as if someone is angry, followed by a mumbling sound.
Lecce, Rex, Mikhail. The eyes of the three people simultaneously turned towards the direction from which the sound came.
“That side…Is the garden side. I’ll take a quick look.”
Lecce Tiatis asked for understanding from the two people and walked towards the direction where many people were gathered.
Said Rex, looking at her.
“Mikhail, let’s go too.”
“Huh? Ah… I understand.”
Originally, I didn’t want to be involved as an outsider in a situation like this that was clearly going to be trouble.
Knight Mikhail read the curiosity sparkling in his master’s eyes and followed him with a half-given expression.
“…Miss Alyssa Leifert. Even though this is an academy, it is normal to show at least some courtesy to high-ranking nobles and seniors.”
“Hah? What does that mean?”
“…No, let’s stop. Even if I say it, you won’t understand…”
Prince Joshua I, Alyssa Ray Pert, call her ‘Lady Martina’ or ‘Lady Martina’ when she is with the group, but she casually calls her ‘Martina’ when they are away.
Of course, Martina doesn’t remember ever allowing her to call her by her own name.
That’s why she pointed it out and ordered her to fix it several times… But to be honest, she’s just given up now.
“So, Martina, you clearly said that you were guiding her guests…”
Only now, Alyssa Ray Pert’s gaze, which had been staring at her Martina, shifted to the woman behind her Martina.
“Who is that strange woman again?”
“What…?!”
It was Martina who was rather agitated by what Alyssa said.
Of course. Lady Liliana Wentoth is a precious guest who received a polite invitation from the empire.
Her treatment was almost comparable to that of royalty from another country.
“Alyssa Leipert! Madame Liliana Wenthos is a state guest of the Empire! To make such a rude remark to such a person…!! Weren’t you there in the first place?!”
“Hah? I don’t know that! What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”
In fact, there is a difference in perception between the two people at this point.
First of all, due to his position as the crown prince of the empire, Prince Joshua also greeted Liliana Wentos along with Martina at the banquet.
Of course, from Joshua’s point of view, it was difficult for her to think favorably toward her, but even so, she greeted him with a smile on the outside as the crown prince.
Martina mistakenly assumed that she was aware of Liliana because Alyssa Leifert was behind her, clinging to her prince.
In fact, Alyssa was not there at that time.
At that moment, she saw Prince Rex going out to the terrace alone, so she sneaked away and had a conversation with Prince Rex.
…Of course, Martina could not have imagined that Alyssa would have left Crown Prince Joshua alone and gone to meet another man, even a crown prince from a foreign country…
“…I apologize for the rudeness of the nobles of our empire, Lady Wentoth. Now, please apologize to me too, Alyssa Leifert.”
“Why?! I don’t like it! What’s wrong with calling her ajumma ajumma?”
“Alyssa…You…!!”
“And when you say that, you mean she’s related to that woman? Then I hate it even more! Why am I with that f*cking b*tch…”
Actually, at this point, it would not be strange for an ordinary person to be angry and angry.
However, Liliana Wenthos, the person who actually heard the verbal abuse, had nothing to do with the situation and was just quietly looking at Alyssa Leifert in front of her.
As if I was seeing something strange… Something strange.
However, something happened right before her eyes that made her come to her senses.
Wow!!
“Don’t speak bad about her mom…Her older sister!!”
“Aya! What is this little guy?!”
Tania Wentos.
A young girl, furious at her verbal abuse of her favorite mother and older sister, lunged at Alyssa Leifert with a very angry expression on her face.
To be precise, he quickly moved forward and hit Alyssa Leifert’s shin with all his might.
“Ta…Tania?!”
Tania is a very mischievous person despite her calm appearance, and although she is somewhat childish, she is a good daughter.
Liliana, who had not expected that she would come forward and hit someone herself, looked embarrassed.
“Apologise! Apologize!!”
“Ah… Ah!! What kind of kid has strength…”
“Tania, stop and come this way!!”
And, Alyssa Leifert was also embarrassed.
I was also embarrassed by the sudden, unexpected attack from a young child, whose fists were unbecoming of her small body.
At the same time, anger boiled up in her heart.
She was in a bad mood because she couldn’t contact Rex, who she was aiming for, but when she met an official from Sirwentos – probably a family member – she was even beaten up by a young boy.
With the anger boiling inside like a fire, Alyssa’s expression actually turned cold.
“You damned kid!”
“aaah!!”
“Tania!!”
Alyssa swung her hand and hit Tania, who was running towards her.
She didn’t just swing it.
The young girl’s body fell limply from the blow, which was clearly swung with her magic power.
Liliana Wentos hurriedly ran towards her daughter, and Martina cried out loudly with her pale expression.
“Are you really crazy?! Alyssa Leifert!!”
In addition to Martina’s scream-like yelling, there was a young girl who had collapsed and fainted, and what appeared to be the girl’s parents.
Of course, since the classroom was nearby, it attracted the attention of upperclassmen students who were leaving class.
As the number of people who came to see the situation gradually increased, Alyssa also frowned as if she had come to her senses.
‘I’m bothering you…Just because of that little boy…’

Of course, even though there is talk among her upperclassmen, she is confident that she will somehow bake the prince to life, but that is also a troublesome task in its own way.
That’s why she cursed the little boy who ran towards her in her mind.
Of course, it would be more problematic to use excessive violence against a young child without harm.
She had no such awareness whatsoever.
Alyssa Leipert. No… Sherry, a girl from the slums, was like that, a girl named Eucerin.
“What’s going on?! Senior Martina! What kind of situation is this…?”
After making his way through the students crowding around him, Lecce Thiatis appeared.
Instead of her usual stiff expression, she looked at the situation around her with a rather perplexed expression, and then glanced at Alyssa as if she had a rough idea of what had happened.
When Alyssa, along with her upperclassmen, even her classmate appeared, she frowned and said that she was bothered, and her insides burned.
However, there was one thing she overlooked.
Lecce Thiatis, who was she guiding?
“…What is this…Lady Martina…Mrs. Wenthos?”
