Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry

Then I talked to Edelhardt for a while and he went back to his seat.

If you notice while you're talking, the entrance ceremony is only a few minutes away. Leticiel hurries to find an empty seat.

Seating in the diocese is divided into three blocks, with the front block being the freshman, the middle block being the school student, and the back block being the other parental seats.

Miraculously slipping into a seat on the side of the aisle that was vacant in one place, Leticiel takes a breath of hu.

"Oh, I'm finally here!

I didn't even take that breath.

Early on about the seat, I hear the girl I'm familiar with listening to from next door.

I didn't think so. When I looked to the side, the Lord of Guiding Voices was Mirandalette. Further next to it you can see Hilmes, Veronica, and Sieg.

"... is there such a coincidence?

"There isn't. Master Drossel knows what you're talking about."

Actually, you're right. I can somehow predict the mechanism that this has happened, but Leticiel is a little confused.

I mean, here's the thing.

First the Mirandaletts sit in a row.

And he vacated one of the easiest seats on the aisle side, and managed to say, 'This seat will come later' or something and left it empty all the time.

"Nevertheless, you often took a long seat in a row."

"I was the first to sit, but for some reason nobody sat down,"

I can barely hear Sieg sitting in the deepest part, mixed with the ambient blurring.

Sieg has never been in class since his induction ceremony and has never had a friend, a mysterious figure from other students.

Besides, it looks like I'm finally starting to show up in public when I get involved with Leticiel, and I guess I'm hard to get close to him in a different way than Leticiel, who was a hater.

(A diagram of a brunette, civilian, and mysterious boy sitting alone who is quite rare......)

Imagine how Sieg sits in a bench alone... but yeah, there may be an atmosphere that does seem difficult to talk to.

While doing so, a host teacher stands above the front stage.

Seeing that, the students gradually stopped chatting. Apparently, the entrance ceremony begins.

"This brings us to the 382nd Enrollment Ceremony of the Lucrezia School..."

Even so, Leticiel was not interested in an admissions program, so he immersed himself in his thoughts early.

As a result, I have no memory of what was said at the admissions ceremony or anything else, but the program nevertheless proceeded inconsistently, and the ceremony plugged to the end before noon.

"This concludes the admission ceremony, but I just want to let you know one last thing"

I thought I'd end up like that, and they have some important announcement to make at the end.

Leticiel, who was cutting up his thoughts because he was willing to go home, listens to the host because he wonders what it is.

"As some of you may already know, His Highness Lionel, who had recently been studied in the Ealis Empire, was returned home. Along with that, the royal family of the Ealis Empire will also be exchanging to study in our country and will be integrated into the Lucrezia School as a secondary student as of today".

The cathedral squeaks. This is the first time we've heard of Leticiel, but it seems everyone knows about international students from the Empire to see what's going on around them.

"Is it the Ealis Empire... that country, is something disturbing lately?

"I'll never see you again. What kind of princess is she?

I've heard rumors of wind that the situation within the Empire has been unstable in recent times, but the impressions the audience has with expectations and anxiety vary.

With that in mind, Leticiel puts his gaze back on the stage again.

"I would like to take this opportunity to greet Her Royal Highness today"

At the end of the MC's introduction, one girl came out of the sleeve of the stage.

Long brunettes with even thighs have no habit of being straight, with several small threesome knitting dripping decorated with colorful beads.

"Nice to meet you, ladies and gentlemen of the Kingdom of Platinum. My name is Sirlazir-Bint-Eelis-Jaffrida, First Empress of the Eallis Empire."

Not even changing her expression to Pickle, the Empress, who named herself Surrazir, goes on pale words. That's an unusual name, don't tell me.

"Until a few months ago, His Royal Highness Lionel, the second prince of the Kingdom of Platinum, came to study in the Empire, and no one will know. I want to learn different things myself, about this kingdom. But I want you to understand that it's a natural duty as an ally royal family."

That's all I said, the Empress turned her heel back and disappeared onto the stage sleeve.

All that remained were students who could not hide their confusion in her story and adults, including teachers.

(I think it was kind of a lot more aggressive...)

That was Leticiel's first impression of hearing the Empress introduce herself.

I hope you don't get involved in the murmur, it sounds like you're saying.

Since Leticiel and I were princesses in our previous lives, we have been familiar with the behaviour of royalty in diplomacy and elsewhere.

I have also seen aggressive royalty like the Empress, as diverse as those who treat no one separately, and vice versa, those who extol dictatorship, those who do not trust their subjects and turn away.

I wonder about that princess named Surrazir.

Why do you blatantly reject others so far? Is it your original personality, or is there a reason you have to take that attitude?

"Uh... thank you. That concludes the admission ceremony."

While dodging the situation in the diocese, the host teacher closed the admissions ceremony by fulfilling his duties to the end.

At the end of the entrance ceremony, the students leave the cathedral.

There are no plans other than the admissions ceremony today, so Leticiel also said goodbye to his friends and boarded the carriage.

(A princess from a neighboring country...)

As with my former self, he who stands at the top of the country as something that carries the country...... only had feelings a little similar to intimacy.

Still wanting to go get involved from myself, I didn't really wake up to that, Leticiel.

School life as usual begins the day after the entrance ceremony, but the topic of the princess of the neighbouring country was still relevant today at the Lucrezia School.

"Your Royal Highness, the Emperor of the Empire, Lionel cares a lot about you."

"I was wrong with Master Sarazir earlier. You're not even returning my greetings, are you? Incredible."

"I don't know... weird or difficult to relate to, Your Highness."

"Oh, you look great from yesterday's speech."

Nature and rumors come to my ears just walking the entrance.

However, they were all content that I didn't think was very good for the Crown Princess.

(Isn't this pretty bad luck?

Leticiel, who thinks nothing in particular about the character of the princess, thinks like every person while listening to the rumors of the students.

Though I will return after a period of stay because I am an exchange student, how about coming to school and being isolated early?

The entrance had a bulletin board with a post on it, and now a new class classification table had been pasted out there.

Apparently, this school changes class every time the school year changes. I don't think he's going to go to class from himself, but Leticiel confirms the class division once and for all.

(1 intermediate group…)

Read inside the class with your name on it.

The same class also has the names of Siege, Mirandaletto, Hilmes and Veronica.

By the way, Krista's name had disappeared from the table. With the fall of the Duke's house, she also seemed to be leaving school.

The Empress of the Example Empire had two sets of names. Lionel's name is also in two pairs, and Leticiel thought Bo was going to have a wave of this.

(Same class as everyone else...... maybe I can show my face sometimes...)

Even so, the destination she aspires to is today and today the Great Library.

Even if the class changes in the new school year, Leticiel's habits have not changed so far.

Greeting David for the new school year, Leticiel brings the books from the bookshelf to start reading as usual.

In front of her, there was a pile of magical-related books. I wanted to find out about the power Fried was dealing with in the territory, but when it comes to power in this day and age, the only thing popular about magic makes the book limited.

(That sword I let bring out the power of outsiders... and what the hell is that black fog like...)

Turning the pages of the book, Leticiel creased between his eyebrows and thought boringly.

I'm pretty sure the sword in the example was empowering Fried. But that sword... I had no clue what that power was about.

(Pretty long ago, the Spirit used to say the word “black fog"...)

After moving to the suburban mansion, the twin Spirit King who came to visit said something about whether the black fog had moved or not.

There was certainly a black mist, or something like an ox, drifting from Fried's sword. What does that have to do with “black fog”?

(... Speaking of which, every time Fried whined about something, it was like that sword was shining more...)

During that battle, Fried was constantly crushing Mogo Mogo and something in his uncertain consciousness.

I hadn't noticed it because it wasn't the other way around during the battle, but some things come to mind as I look back at the memory of the battle again.

If Fried's crush is really involved in activating power, isn't that like chanting to use magic?

(Thinking about it, is that power a little bit like magic?

I also tried to find out about the origins of magic, but this is all I have in this day and age... rather, despite being widespread enough to be an identity in the aristocratic world, information about the birth of magic and so on was not in the books enough to say at all.

I read through the book in my hand to the end, and Leticiel stares at the ceiling once he puts it on his desk.

Everything doesn't leave the realm of speculation. It is also possible that Fried's crushing is just a delusion. I still don't have enough information at all to make a guess.

"... this is already the time"

The watch on the wall with casual eyes was about to point to noon.

There were no results, but the research was cut up first, and Leticiel heads to the dining room for lunch with his friends.

Few people are in the cafeteria because they haven't finished class yet.

There's already Sieg in the window seat where the Leticiels always sit, and he seems to be reading with some paper in his hand.

"Hello, Sieg"

"Oh, Miss Drossel. Hello."

Speaking up, Zeke raised his eyes from the paper and smiled at this one.

"What's that?

"It's a letter. It came from my mother in my hometown the other day."

That being said, I honestly can't see how pleased I am from Sieg's expression. Somewhat confused… it feels like I am.

"In the letter, did it say anything?

"Huh...?

"It looks kind of complicated..."

Sieg laughed and shook his neck sideways like he was in trouble as Leticiel thought inside out that he would have made an extra mouthful.

"Thank you. But it's okay, because I'm just a little confused."

That said, Sieg strengthened his ability to hold the letter.

"... my father contacted me."

The silence lasted for a while, but eventually Sieg spoke out about the potpourri and the contents of the letter.

"From your father...?

"Yes, but he's been missing for over a decade."

At first I thought it would be a pleasure to hear from my father, but when I heard about Sieg, I reconsidered that it wasn't.

Sieg seemed perplexed by the fact that he had suddenly been contacted by his father, who had been missing for more than a decade.

"I also really just left a word to say hello, and I don't know where I am or what I'm doing after all"

"You were..."

Never before have I heard about Sieg's hometown, but about his family.

I didn't know you had that situation......

"I still don't know why my father's gone. It's just... I can't say much either because I have very little old memories."

"... Really?

That's my first ear, too. Leticiel accidentally punches his eyes.

Apparently, Zeke has little memory of it until he feels comfortable. His father seemed to have already disappeared by then, saying the only thing he remembered was his father's back.

"Really... sorry, I kind of asked you to step in"

"No, never mind. Because it's not a big deal."

That said Sieg had the same serene grin as usual.

Eventually, the bell that ended the morning class rang, and the dining room, which was a bit of a hangover, became more prominent for the students.

"Dear Drossel, Dear Sieg, Thank you for waiting!

Running straight to the table where the Leticiers sit, Mirandalette laughs with a smile when she says so.

Behind it you can also see Veronica, but for some reason you didn't see Hilmes.

"Master Mira, isn't Master Hilmes with you?

"Yes... Actually, today, I had an exam to unplug..."

Mirandalette said, apparently, a new class...... in the middle one group, an extraction test was performed today.

The grading was done on the spot, but the score of Hilmes felt so tragic that he was called to the position of teacher during the lunch break?

I send ales to Hilmes in my heart, but I can't go help them, so the Leticiels pick a menu for each and then go back to their seats.

"You, Duchess Drossel."

And shortly after I started eating, I was abruptly called out.

Swallow the pasta that was chewing, Leticiel looks up to the Lord of his voice with his neck tilted.

The First Empress of the Ealis Empire, Sarazir, stood beside the table of the Leticiers.

Behind her, a boy in a Lucrezia School uniform refrains. Is it a squire or something?

"Ha... yes"

"Then compete with Drossel-Noah Oracio."

"............... Yes?

With one hand on his hips, Sarazir has calmly told him so, without changing his complexion in particular.

In contrast, Leticiel replied unexpectedly, forgetting for a moment that the other person was the Empress.
