Volume 9, Chapter 1 “The Second Prince”
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Part 1
The day of the entrance ceremony.
I stand in front of the mirror in my room, talking hurriedly as I change into my school uniform.
It was Julius, the prince who came to visit me in my room.
He calls me up on a busy morning and complains to me grumpily.
“If you were going to put me in charge of the entrance ceremony speech, you should have told me ahead of time.”
I was asked by the school to give a speech for the students, but it was too much trouble, so I threw it to Julius. Julius is preparing a manuscript in my room.
“You’re higher in rank than me a marquis, aren’t you?”
There’s a Luxion near me, and he’s been making all sorts of noises all morning.
[Master, your tie is crooked]
“Ah, that’s true.”
I looked at Julius in the mirror as I tightened my tie and said that, and he seemed to accept it, even though he didn’t like it.
“If it’s just about rank, I’m certainly better, but considering abilities and achievements, the school’s decision is reasonable. Well, you don’t seem to be very good at this sort of thing.”
In spite of everything, I’ve known Julius for almost two years.
When we met, I didn’t think we would be able to talk to each other in this casual way.
After all, we disliked each other.
“Leave it to someone who can. Efficient, right?”
After getting ready, I turned around and saw that Julius had also finished writing the manuscript.
Julius is used to this kind of thing, as he often greets people in various situations.
“When you say it, it sounds like you’re forcing trouble onto others.”
“Take it as you like. But this will make up for your bad behavior over spring break. You should be a little grateful.”
During spring break, Julius and others, the five idiots caused damage to the school. The bill for that has come to me, as I am now officially in charge of Julius and the others.
Why should I bother to take care of all these fallen princes?
“Now that you mention it, I can’t say anything back.”
Letting out a small sigh, Julius looks disappointed as he folds the manuscript and puts it away in the inside pocket of his jacket.
But when he raised his face.
“I suppose I should have started with the stall.”
It seems that he hasn’t given up yet.
“Are you possessed by the skewers?”
“Possessed is a terrible word. Just say I’m fascinated, okay? I love skewers as much as I love Marie.”
I guess he wants to say that he loves skewers very much, but I’m speechless when I hear that line. I’ve heard it before, but now it’s one of his most hilarious jokes.
“So Marie was lined up on the skewer with love, huh? I’m sure if you told her that now, she’d have an interesting reaction.”
Luxion, who was floating near my right shoulder, saying yare yare and shaking his one eye from side to side.
[Is this the figure of the once promising Crown Prince? A few years ago, no one could have predicted this. Well, he seems to be happy.]
Julius doesn’t seem the least bit offended by my and Luxion’s sarcasm.
Instead, he is even proud of his skewers.
“You’re right. Indeed, I am a lucky man to have two irreplaceable beings in this world. Let’s thank the existence that brought me to Marie and the skewers.”
Seeing the sparkling Julius beaming a smile in vain, Luxion and I looked at each other.
“Idiot is so strong”
[Neither sarcasm nor cynicism will work.]
.
Part 2
Around that time.
Marie was taking Kara from the school building to the auditorium where the entrance ceremony would be held.
As they walked along the corridor, they occasionally received sharp glances from the people around them.
Why are you people here? That’s how the students looked at them in dissatisfaction, but they didn’t say anything directly.
One of the main reasons is that the person who is taking care of Marie and the others is Leon, who has been promoted to Marquis.
The students gave her a cold stare, but she was now walking with a big stride.
“Why do I get blamed? It was those three who altered the uniform without permission. If they really want to scold someone, shouldn’t they scold Leon who’s taking care of them?”
Kara tried her best to soothe a slightly irritated Marie.
“It can’t be helped. It’s difficult for the headmaster to call the Marquis Bartofalt and scold him. More importantly, those three have done it since the first day.”
Kara also remembers those three people and lets out a big sigh.
It was Brad, Greg, and Chris who messed up.
The three of them had grown up a bit in the Republic, but when they prepared their uniforms beforehand, they had made some modifications based on what they thought.
Brad had prepared a glitteringly decorated uniform, and Greg had torn the sleeves off his shirt and jacket so that it revealed his shoulders.
Chris modified his jacket to look like a happi coat, and the three of them were all called out for breaking school rules on the first day of the new school year.
At that time, Marie was also called out and was scolded until just now. Marie, who was made to apologize for the three of them, was angry because she was not convinced.
“I’m not their guardian!”
“C-Calm down, Marie-sama?”
Marie, her voice rising in anger, was calmed by Kara and stopped to catch her breath. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw two staff members tending to the courtyard.
Kara, who noticed Marie’s gaze, also looked in her direction.
“Is he a newbie?”
“Looks like it”
They looked at the scene where a young new staff member was being scolded by a veteran who showed a stunning attitude.
“Can’t you be more serious? Look at all the trees and shrubs you’ve taken care of. They’re all a mess. Forget about this place, go pull weeds or something.”
At first, Marie felt pity for him, but the attitude of the young staff member was also terrible. He was a young man with blond hair, but he was very unmotivated. He had an attitude of looking down on the veterans he was instructing.
“This is enough, right? Can I go now?”
“Of course not.”
The veteran seemed to be having a hard time with the young staff member who did not hide his displeasure. This made Marie feel no sympathy for the one who was being scolded.
Recalling how desperately she had apologized earlier, as if she were the guardian of those three, she felt even more annoyed.
Besides, from Marie’s point of view, the courtyard was badly maintained.
“Even I can take care of the courtyard.”
When Marie was angry with the young staff member, she smiled sadly, as if she remembered the time she was studying abroad with Kara.
She remembered how the grass and trees grew every day in the summer, and she had a tired face.
“Ahahaha――It was really tough, wasn’t it? In the summer time, when the plants were in bloom, I had to take care of the garden every day or else it would quickly become a mess. I had to learn how to use all the tools. My hands were covered with beans.”
“I am the same”
I can manage that much by myself ―― she is saying this lightly, but Marie has actually learned how hard it is to take care of a garden in her study abroad.
If she gets serious, she’s capable of doing a better job than the young staff.
Marie turned her gaze away from the young staff and walked away.
“I wonder if the school is understaffed? I heard they used to have a very selective staff.”
In the past, an employee like that would not have been hired.
Kara speaks up with her prediction.
“The kingdom is in a difficult period, you see. Aren’t they short-handed in many ways?”
Marie let out a small sigh at the fact that things had changed so much since before they left to study abroad.
Out of the corner of her eye, the heiress to the Count’s family, with the girls in tow, was walking in a domineering manner.
“You’re in the way. Step aside”
“I-I’m sorry.”
A male student walked proudly through the school, showing his arrogance to the girls. The girls apologized and quickly cleared the way.
(This didn’t happen when we were first-year students. I guess things change when they change. It’s like the world of gal games. I don’t know.)
From Marie’s point of view, the current school where boys have more power is not an otome game, but a gal game, although she has never played it.
(It’s become a very convenient world for boys. Does aniki be delighted?)
.
Part 3
The boring entrance ceremony is over, and the new students are leaving the auditorium.
I was being tugged on my left ear by one of my fiancées, [Angelica Rafa Redgrave] ―― Ange.
“It hurts. It hurts.”
Unable to tolerate the fact that Julius gave a greeting as a representative of the current students, Ange grabbed my left ear with a dissatisfied face.
“If you’re going to give it to His Highness, tell me first, you fool.”
“No, it was a sudden request. I don’t like it when people don’t tell me about these things in advance.”
“I also wish you had consulted me beforehand.”
“I’m sorry”
Speaking of being asked to greet people in front of everyone on the day, [Olivia] ―― Livia agrees with me.
“I know it makes you nervous to be told out of the blue. But why did they suddenly ask Leon-san?”
Even Livia, who tilted her head slightly, seemed to wonder.
It is the third fiancé, [Noelle Jill Lespinasse], who makes the guess ―― Noelle is from the Republic.
Although her position is kind of a princess, she was raised in the same way as ordinary people, so she has a friendly way of speaking.
Her hair is in a side ponytail gathered on the right side, and she is currently wearing a school uniform.
“The school must have been troubled because of Leon’s sudden promotion. Look, if he was still a count, His Highness Julius would be fine, but if he became a Marquis~, they have trouble adjusting?”
After considering his position as a nobleman and many other things, he came up with the answer on the day. It’s possible, but I wouldn’t be too happy if I had to worry about that.
However, Livia was convinced and clapped her hands.
“It’s possible”
“Right!”
As the two of them were having a friendly conversation, a disgruntled Ange finally let me go. As it is, she tells me about the situation.
“Unfortunately, it’s a miss. The only reason for selecting Leon was that they didn’t want to leave it in the hands of His Highness Julius.”
Holding my reddened left ear with my hand, I asked the reason.
“Because he’s an idiot?”
“I agree with you, but there’s another problem. Can you see the new students looking at us from over there?”
Ange looked at the blonde-haired male student who was watching us from the tail end of the new students leaving the auditorium.
Next to him is a student who is tall and has prominent red hair.
“Do you know those people?”
Noelle asked me, and I shook my head. The same goes for Livia.
Ange was the only one who seemed to know them.
“He’s His Highness Jake. The redhead is his foster brother, Oscar.”
“His Highness? Is he Julius’ younger brother?”
I knew His Highness Jake’s name from Marie. He was one of the targets in the third Otome game, and according to Marie, he was an outlaw royalty.
But I can hear a more detailed explanation from Ange.
“From the point of view of His Highness Julius, he is his half-brother. He is currently the first in line of succession to the throne, and is the most powerful candidate to become the next Crown Prince.”
Perhaps Livia was wondering, she quickly asked Ange.
“The most powerful candidate? Ano, isn’t he going to be crown prince as soon as His Highness Julius is disinherited?”
“There’s a lot going on. Besides, His Highness Jake is a man of great ambition. He’s been touting his claim to the throne since Julius was the Crown Prince.”
So he’s been telling people that ‘I’m going to be king’ since Julius was decided to be the next king?! That’s quite a troublesome prince.
Noelle put her hand on her chin and was convinced.
“The brothers have been fighting, so they didn’t want to give him a greeting speech. ―― Aren’t they worrying too much?”
Noelle arrived at the answer, but said that the school was too concerned about their considerations.
I agree. I don’t want to get involved in a sibling fight.
“If he keeps quiet, he’ll be the next king, right? I don’t think he’d want to cause any trouble.”
When I said that, Ange lowered her gaze.
“His Highness Jake is a troublemaker in the royal palace. And the academy doesn’t like to deal with sensitive issues like this. That’s why they’re overreacting.”
“Eh ~”
A troublemaker with so much power that even the school takes him into consideration, I don’t want to go near him.
As I was thinking this, His Highness Jake and Oscar were leaving the auditorium.
Ange warned me about the topic of conversation, about His Highness Jake.
“Leon, there are going to be more people approaching you. It’s okay if they’re just a bunch of random people, but there are a lot of troublesome people out there. Don’t make any rash promises.”
“I wonder if there’ anyone out there who would flatter a marquis who only has a name?”
I laugh carelessly, but Ange’s face was serious.
“If you just have a name, then all the nobles in the kingdom will be treated as incompetent.”
I also change my unserious attitude.
“Ah, as I thought it’s going to be difficult?”
Seeing that my attitude had changed, Ange’s face relaxed a little.
“You’ll have an incomparable amount of upper-class socializing that you’re not very good at. From now on, don’t let them get to you unnecessarily. ――Be wary of my parents’ house too.”
“Ange’s parents’ house? No, the Redgrave family have always been a great help to us, haven’t they?”
I was curious about Ange’s true intentions when she told me to be wary of the Redgrave family. Normally, it is the Redgrave family, Ange’s parents’ house, that I would rely on.
Ange didn’t seem to have any evidence to be on alert, but she still sensed a disturbing presence in her family.
“My father and brother are up to something. If nothing happens, that’s fine, but I can’t say for sure that it won’t.”
Noelle seemed to have questions when Ange told me to be wary of her own parents’ house.
“Isn’t it usually the other way around? I think we’re supposed to be asking Leon to help your family.”
Then Ange put her left hand on her waist and her right hand on her chest as she raised her chest.
“I’m the woman who’s going to be Leon’s wife. I’m sorry, but the interests of the Marquis Bartfalt are my first priority.”
Ange, who confidently and proudly declares it, even though she is a woman, is still looks manly.
Hearing that, Livia giggled.
“That means Leon-san is your top priority, right?”
Livia summed it up for me, but how am I supposed to react when I hear it?
As the three of them looked at me expectantly, I turned my head away and scratched my head.
Luxion, who was watching the situation, was stunned by my attitude.
[It’s very Master-like that you can’t give a witty reply here.]
Noisy, shut up.
Rather, if you have a model answer, let me know.
.
Part 4
“Why am I hanging out with you guys in the middle of the day?”
The afternoon after the entrance ceremony.
Today, I was in the backyard of the dormitory because I had free time in the afternoon.
Here we are, me and Luxion――and Marie and her merry band of friends.
I was supposed to be invited to lunch, but I found myself in the backyard.
A net was placed in the furnace that Julius had built out of bricks, and meat and vegetables on skewers were roasted on it.
He was even humming a song with his experienced hands.
“Everyone, please wait, it’ll be done soon.”
Eating skewers grilled by the prince or something like that might be a luxury in some ways.
It was Jilk, not only had a bad hobby, he was the worst trash among the five, who took the skewers that Julius had cooked and put them on a plate.
“Your Highness, why don’t we take turns? Or you won’t be able to eat satisfactorily.”
“Don’t worry. I’m happier to grill the skewers.”
It’s interesting to see a prince who is fascinated by skewers, but it’s a different story when it comes to the people involved. I can’t help but wonder how to turn him back into a decent prince.
However, when I see him grilling the skewers with a truly happy look on his face, I think he might be happier if I just left him alone.
Greg, one of the idiots who had modified his uniform, chose to eat only chicken. His uniform was torn down to the sleeves, and his pants were torn from around the knees to make half pants.
Is it because he has gained muscle mass and prefers to dress for ease of movement? Or does he want to show off the muscles he has built? Which is the reason?
“I’ve had a bad feeling about this since Julius invited me to eat.”
Greg, who ate only chicken, didn’t look too happy.
That’s just as well.
Whenever Julius prepares food, he always prepares grilled skewers.
He prepares various types, but it is still skewered.
Naturally, Marie and the others were getting bored.
Chris, whose jacket had been modified to look like a happi coat, wore a twisted hachimaki around his head. He was eating, his glasses fogged by the steam from the skewers.
“I’m getting tired of cooking skewers every day. Your Highness, can we at least do it once a week?”
When Chris made that suggestion, Julius raised his head and surprisingly agreed.
“Is that so? Okay. Then, we’ll have one day a week when we don’t grill skewers.”
“It’s the opposite, Your Highness. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake on purpose?”
Chris is correcting Julius’s mistake, but I want to ask him, isn’t the way you guys are dressed also wrong.
Brad, wearing the flashiest uniform of the five, is thinking about how he can eat the skewers with elegance.
“Hmm, if I could eat skewers more elegantly, my charm would be more ―― Fuwaaaa, the sauce spilled on my uniform ?!”
Ignoring Brad, who was lamenting over the staining of his new uniform, I turned my attention to Marie and the others, she was talking to Kara.
Kyle ―― an exclusive servant, was being kept at my parents’ house because she couldn’t bring him to the school now.
They are talking about Kyle, who is not here.
“It’s going to be hard not having Kyle around. We have to take care of all five of you by ourselves.”
Marie is giving Brad a cold stare as he spills the sauce on his uniform. She was probably thinking about how hard it would be to do laundry or something like that.
Kara also nodded as she ate the skewers.
“But, Kyle-kun and his parent can relax together.”
“That’s right. Ah, these skewers are probably the best I’ve ever had.”
They were talking dejectedly, but the skewers that Marie had eaten were delicious. When she said her impressions out loud, Julius was pleased.
“I’ve got the best one for Marie. I strangled Jack, a young chicken, today since the coop was taken down. He was so wild and cute.”
The fact that he had given the livestock a name stopped everyone’s eating motion.
I also don’t like hearing Julius’ story, but it’s Marie who speaks on behalf of us.
“Julius, I told you not to name the livestock, didn’t I? And don’t reminisce during the meal. It’s hard to eat!”
Julius who was scolded, replied back.
“No, let’s all learn the life we eat together ――”
Before Julius can finish his excuse, a guest appears in this place.
“Long time no see, Ani-ue”
Here comes His Highness Jake with his foster brother Oscar.
Julius faced His Highness Jake in his aproned appearance.
“Jake. What do you want from me now?”
“I have no business here. I have no interest in a brother who was disinherited over a woman.”
At the mention of a woman, all the men except Julius were about to jump on him. Julius held up his right hand to stop them.
“You’re still the same. But then, why did you come here? Did you come here to laugh at me?”
“That’s interesting, but I came to see another person.”
And then His Highness Jake came in front of me with, shall we say, a fierce smile? He gives me a belligerent smile.
“I know we’ve met a few times, but I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m [Jake Rafa Horfalt]. I’m currently first in line to the throne, overtaking that idiot over there.”
The blue-eyed boy with short, habitual blond hair is a picture-perfect prince. He is a little short and has a beautiful face with a cocky attitude.
He is as cocky in speech and action as he looks.
His Highness Jake looks at the boy who are waiting diagonally behind him.
“This is my foster brother.”
A tall first-year student with long red hair in a ponytail, he was a solidly built, serious-looking boy.
“I am Oscar Fia Hogan. Please make my acquaintance.”
Oscar greeted me in a clumsy manner, but according to Marie, he was also one of the capture targets.
The two greeted me, and I let out a sigh before introducing myself.
“As you may know, I’m Leon, your father forced me to get promoted. I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money or power. If you need help, look elsewhere.”
Although I showed an attitude of not wanting to get involved, His Highness Jake had a generous smile on his face. Apparently, he would not back down at this level.
“With the power of the Hero who defeated the Republic, you can have all the wealth and power you want later. As long as you know who to side with.”
“You want me to side with His Highness Jake?”
“I don’t like complicated methods. Bartofalt, I’m going to get straight to the point. I want you to join my faction and back me up. Do that, and I’ll make you rise even higher. Something those fools out there can’t do”
His Highness Jake is looking at Julius with a triumphant look on his face, but this guy doesn’t understand anything. Does he think that I’ve risen to the top because I like it?
Also, he is calling me by my last name. He is a really cocky guy.
“I refuse”
When I answered immediately, Marie and her funny friends had the natural reaction, “Well, that’s what will happen”. However, His Highness Jake was different.
After being stunned, he rushes over to me.
“D-Did you listen to me? If you follow me, you’ll be a duke in no time!”
“I didn’t want to get promoted!”
When I said that I didn’t want to be promoted, His Highness Jake, who is a person with a lot of ambition, looked at me as if he didn’t really understand.
Shaking his head, he orders his foster brother Oscar.
“Then let’s have a little talk. Oscar, escort the Marquis.”
“Ha! Marquis Bartofalt, please forgive my roughness.”
Oscar tried to step forward and grab me, but it was Greg who stopped him.
His appearance may not be good, but he is a man who can help his boss.
“Wait. Do you really think you can take Leon that easily?”
” ―― Fu”
For some reason, Oscar was smiling when he saw Greg’s fearsome attitude. Greg was annoyed by his attitude, and his muscles bulged a little with anger.
Greg, who takes off his jacket, is glaring at Oscar.
“You want to do it?”
For some reason, Greg takes a pose that shows off his muscles instead of a martial arts stance. Greg shows confidence in his pose to show off his pectoral muscles. ―― I’ve realized how foolish I was to expect even a little bit from this guy.
What are you doing?
Seeing this, Oscar also took off his jacket and threw it away.
Then, as he posed with his back to me, his muscles began to rise and show off his magnificent back muscles.
Greg’s eyes widened in surprise at the sight.
“W-What?”
Oscar seems to have muscles that are comparable to Greg’s. Although he is slender, his muscles, which he has trained with his own body weight, have a different sense of reliability than Greg’s.
“A true man speaks with his back. You don’t understand that, though, because you only train your front.”
“D-Damn it!”
The two of them are showing off their muscles, which they are proud of, but I want you to think about this. With Oscar’s back to us, I wonder who he’s going to be facing?
His Highness Jake shouted.
“Oscar! I’m being stared at by two disgusting men, Oscar!”
In order to show off their muscles, both Greg and Oscar’s expressions became stern as they exerted themselves. Greg faces forward, and if Oscar turns his back on us ―― His Highness Jake was being stared at by two men.
“Oscar, you’re making it look like I’m on my own! Aren’t you supposed to be on my side?!”
All the people in the room were staring at him, and I began to feel sorry for Jake, who was feeling a little nervous. Moreover, it seems that this Oscar guy is a natural airhead.
“Your Highness, please be quiet, you’re distracting me. This is a battle between men.”
“Don’t forget my order, Oscar! And you’re my foster brother and my best vassal, remember? You should be more devoted to me!”
I ask Julius about His Highness Jake yelling at his foster brother Oscar.
“Is His Highness Jake usually like this?”
Julius turned a complicated look on His Royal Highness Jake.
“As you can see, he’s a very ambitious guy. But yeah. Oscar’s not a bad guy, though, as you can see.”
Jilk gives his thoughts on the pairing of His Highness Jake and Oscar, which is pitiful to watch, from the perspective of the same foster brothers.
“Oscar is still the same. Even the inside of his head is a muscle, His Highness Jake has a hard time with that. Your Highness is lucky I’m your foster brother.”
In addition to the dialogue that leaves no doubt in his mind that he is better than Oscar, he smiles with a mocking look on his face. He really is a trash with a bad character.
Julius looked at Jilk and Oscar alternately, and then let out his true feelings.
“I would have preferred Oscar than you.”
Hearing Julius’s true thoughts, Jilk seemed to think it was a joke.
“Your Highness is also good at joking.”
“No, I really think so.”
” ―― Eh? Y-Your Highness, what does that mean?”
“It means exactly what it says”
When Julius told him that Oscar was a better choice, Jilk froze in place.
His Highness Jake, who was being stared at by two disgusting men, was trembling and unable to move, perhaps he was frightened. Well, even I would have a hard time understanding and making a decision in this situation.
What can possibly go wrong and start bragging about your muscles?
Marie came over to stand next to me, eating the skewers with a hearty appetite.
“What should we do with this?”
“What should we do ―― report to the school?”
As Ange said right after the entrance ceremony, the academy tends to dislike succession disputes in the royal family. I’ll make sure His Highness Jake gets a warning.
“So, it will be that.”
Marie, who was munching skewers, threw the stick she had finished into the trash can provided. With good control, the stick she threw went easily into the trash can.
Marie snaps her fingers.
“I did it ~!”
As I looked at the delighted Marie, I suddenly felt someone’s eyes on me.
As I look around curiously, I notice a figure watching us from the school building.
It was an unfamiliar boy who was watching us making noise in the backyard.
The brown-skinned, silver-haired boy, who stood out, noticed my gaze and left the backyard.
“What is it?”
I don’t know why, but I was strangely curious about that male student.
.
Part 5
“Damn!”
When Jake was thrown into the house arrest room provided by the school, he kicked the door roughly once.
They had been brought in by the teachers for causing a disturbance, but Julius and the others who had made the same ruckus had been released with a stern warning.
This difference in treatment was annoying.
He sat down roughly on a chair in the house arrest room and spoke to Oscar on the other side of the door.
The wooden door had a small window, but it had bars on it as well.
“Don’t you think this kind of treatment is unforgivable, Oscar?”
“Is that so?”
“Don’t question it, just nod your head! I know I’ve gone too far, but don’t give me a cold shoulder!”
If this had been a normal fight, Jake would have been given a stern warning, but the problem was that he had brought a power struggle within the royal palace into the school.
It seems that the teachers could not forgive him for bringing in the very sensitive issue of succession disputes.
It seemed that the royal palace had ordered strict punishment for this problem.
Oscar cautions Jake from outside the door.
“Recruiting the Marquis on the first day of school was a little too much. The teachers were in a panic that you brought the succession issue to the school.”
“I’m sure. This kind of problem would be extremely annoying for the school.”
“And you did that knowingly? It’s called premeditated crime, Your Highness.”
“Enough. Shut up, Oscar.”
Jake crossed his legs and wondered why his foster brother were so stupid. He thought in frustration.
(It would help if Oscar was at least as competent as Jilk)
Jake really wished that the quick-witted Jilk would switch places with Oscar.
Once he took a deep breath, Jake ordered Oscar to do the same.
“Call Bartofalt here, Oscar “
“A-Are you serious, Your Highness?”
“Of course. I’m not going to give up just because I failed once. All you have to do is call Bartofalt right here and now. I’ll do the rest.”
“Finally, Your Highness ―― I’ll call right away!”
“O-Oh”
Jake was a little questioning about Oscar’s reaction, but decided to wait for him to bring him back, thinking that no matter how much he wanted to, he wouldn’t make a mistake with his current order.
.
Part 6
After tens of minutes.
Oscar definitely brought Bartofalt.
“I’ve brought her here, Your Highness! I see you’ve finally developed an interest in women!”
The happy Oscar brought him Bartofalt, but Bartofalt sister.
From behind the door of the house arrest room, ingratiating voice can be heard.
“My name is Finley Fou Bartofalt, His Highness Jake. I never expected to be called by His Highness.”
Jake can’t see Finley.
But he could understand that Oscar had misunderstood his order.
The results were too much, Jake got a headache.
“Oscar, why did you bring that woman?”
He asked quietly and slowly, and Oscar, who was smiling through the small window, answered.
“Eh? Your Highness ordered me to bring her. That’s why I brought Bartofalt-san with me. I didn’t realize that you were interested in Finley-san from the same class.”
Jake and Finley are both first-year students and in the same advanced class.
However, from the flow of the story, bringing in Finley was unthinkable.
Jake stood up roughly, and the chair he was sitting in fell over.
“The one I asked you to call is Leon! Are you stupid? Are you an idiot? Oh yeah, you’re an idiot, aren’t you, Oscar? I was wrong. I should have given you more detailed order.”
Jake had underestimated the stupidity of his foster brother he had known for so long, but Oscar made another mistake.
“His Highness ――Are you there? I’m embarrassed that I didn’t notice.”
“Oi, wait a minute. What are you misunderstanding?”
“So it’s not Finley-san that you like, but Leon-dono.”
“Oscaaaarrr !! Who and when, the one that told you about my preferences?”
From there, Jake begins to lecture Oscar, but he is so loud that a teacher comes and scolds him.
