124. Fun Academy Life (5)
124. Enjoyable Academy Life (5)
A friend having an affair.
No, my childhood friend Yuri held my hand and moved away.
“I think it would be nice to go to a place where there are no people… !”
Is it because I have an introverted personality?
Yuri asked us to go to a place where there were no people. There are too many people passing by the academy.
She asked to change locations, saying she thought someone might recognize her.
‘Even after becoming a grand duke, he still has this personality.’
Should I like it because I haven’t lost my original intention?
Still, when I came out onto the street instead of the academy, I straightened my back with confidence.
It seemed as if he was trying to protect the grand duke’s dignity.
“You said let’s play, right? Then where should we go? “Is there a place you want to go?”
“I like any place where there are no people… !”
“Then, how about a quiet cafe?”
“Joe, okay…” ! They say a lot of adultery happens in places like that… ! Let’s go… !”
Where else did I hear such strange information?
I feel like my hands are trembling in Yuri’s bucket of knowledge.
Still, the cafe was a good place for conversation, so I walked towards it.
There were many people walking on the streets.
“I guess it’s because the weather is nice. “There are a lot of people.”
“Ugh… There are a lot of people… So I hate it… “

Yuri hates other people.
She held my hand and clung closer to my body.
“Well, that doesn’t mean I hate Damian… Damian likes her even though she’s human… “
“There are people in the world who are kinder than me. “You hate those people too?”
“I hate poetry… ! And she says there’s no one nicer than Damian… ! Because what Damian does is a good thing… !”
… Are my actions the standard for goodness?
You have dangerous thoughts, Yuri.
“… I can’t think like that. “That’s a dangerous idea.”
“Other people are much more dangerous… !”
It looks like he has no intention of backing down.
Yuri may be fine in other ways, but once she starts to be stubborn, she has no intention of giving up.
In the end, I entered the cafe with Yuri without saying anything.
It was the ‘Millennium Cafe’, a famous cafe in the empire that only nobles could enter.
“Welcome, sir. “Can there be two of you?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll show you to your seat.”
Yuri and I followed behind the employee. Yuri seemed to be wary of the employees, so he hid behind me again.
“D-Damian, that person seems to be acting for a laugh…” Suspicious… “
“It’s not a miso device for business use.”
“Well, that’s a fake smile…” !”
Please don’t just tell me everything.
But fortunately, the employee didn’t hear it. We were led to the table without any response.
“You can sit here.”
I nodded lightly and sat down.
It was soft. It looks like they are using a good sofa.
Yuri sat in the seat next to me, not in front of me, and pressed her body close to me.
“What are you doing, Yuri?”
“Oh, I want to be with Damian today…” Is that okay… ?”
“Why don’t you ask something when you’ve already joined us?”
“Okay… ? Okay… “
Yuri tried to get up from her seat with a downcast look on her face.
I grabbed Yuri’s hand as she tried to get up.
“… I’ve already sat down, why should I go forward again? “Just sit down.”
“Uh, uhm… ! Oh, thank you Damian… !”
Full!
Yuri finally smiles. You still don’t listen to what people say.
If that were Yuri’s charm, it would be her charm.
I ordered orange juice and Americano from the waiter who came back to take my order, then looked at the glass sitting next to me.
“Why Damien… ?”
Yuri is sticking next to me like gum and smiling heartily.
Now that I think about it, I suddenly became curious.
“Yuri.”
“Yes… ?”
“Were you okay while coming to Orcia?”
“What…?” ?”
“I must have been with Bluebell for about a week. “Are you okay?”
The bluebell must have been severely damaged, but was it okay?
Yuri’s face darkened slightly, but she soon spoke in a calm tone.
“At first, it hurt because my heart was being pressed… As time passed, it got better… I think I’m used to it… “
“You got used to it?”
“Ugh… The things he said to me were always the same, and I thought to myself… “
If we fight anyway, I win.
“Because Bluebell is weaker than me… That’s how I developed her mental strength… “
“… “
You may lose through conversation.
Did you think you could never lose through physical conversation?
Yuri’s mental state did not deteriorate as a result, but…
‘Isn’t this the same for me?’
I felt like strength was going into my body.
Later, when I tried to stop Yuri’s actions, he said, ‘Damian…’ You’re weaker than me… ‘ She says, and it seems like she will forcefully proceed with the work.
It seemed as if he had not ascended to the position of Grand Duke of the North for nothing.
“… “I’m scared to death.”
“What’s wrong… ?”
“Oh, no. Nothing.”
I need to be careful about what I talk to myself from now on.
As I was chatting lightly with Yuri for a while, her waiter came over and put down her drink.
With chocolate, whipped cream, and strawberry cake.
I quickly spoke to the waiter.
“We didn’t order this?”
“The person next to me ordered it.”
… It looks like Yuri ordered cake without my knowledge.
Yuri smiled awkwardly and immediately put his fork into the cake.
“It’s delicious…” Lol… “
“… “
It was nice to see them eating happily with a smile.
Yuri happily eats cake and occasionally puts it in my mouth.
Did she suddenly have a bad idea? She said something meaningful to me.
“Damian… There’s something I’d like to ask… “
“What is it?”
“We… Friends for life, right… ?”
Childhood friend, engaged friend, affair friend.
Are you asking me with that kind of meaning in mind?
I answered her question honestly.
“You are friends for life, right? “What else are you worried about?”
“Everything, I’m glad…” I was worried that Damian would abandon me after we got engaged… I don’t think so… “
Yuri is holding a fork and saying something creepy.
She muttered as she put strawberry cake in my mouth.
“We are friends for life, Damien…” “
“… “
“No matter what happens… Because there are many different types of friends… Yes… ?”
How many more friends are left in Yuri?
Although I felt a little afraid, I had no choice but to nod at her words.

Time passes.
A day when peaceful times passed by.
A new task has been given to me.
An assignment sent from somewhere else, not from the academy.
“It’s been a while since I’ve done something worthy of a noble.”
Hunting Festival.
This is a letter about hunting deer in the forest this fall.
I wanted to refuse and enjoy school life comfortably, but I couldn’t.
“Why is there such an uproar these days because the imperial family can’t touch me?”
I want to stay still.
These imperial guys don’t want to leave me alone these days.
It’s so annoying that I’m dying.
“Dear Marquis Sinclair Damien… The genius of the empire… Please make sure to attend… Crown Prince Lionel… ”
Even this is ghostwriting.
Lionel That cheap prince doesn’t know how to embellish a sentence.
Just ‘come.’ Good. They only say cold words in the form of short answers such as ‘attendance.’
It seemed highly likely that this formal letter was written by his girlfriend, Elisha.
“What should I do with this…” Should I attend… “
I am worried.
What should I do? Should I attend or not?
I decided to ask people around me first. It’s a bit of an uncomfortable place to go alone.
Nadia was working on an assignment in the art studio.
“Nadia, didn’t you get a letter?”
“It looks like one came from the imperial family. “I didn’t tear it up and read it as soon as I saw it.”
“… “It’s a letter about the hunting festival.”
“Really? “I’m not really interested.”
She said indifferently that Nadia was not interested.
“If Damien goes, I will go.”
She added one word.
Anyway, Nadia’s attendance is uncertain.
Next is glass.
“It came to me too… ! I hope the Grand Duke graces the occasion… ! Hwa, the princess sent an invitation… !”
“You received it from the princess. I’m going?”
“I want to go when Damien goes…” !”
Yuri’s answer was the same.
Since a marquis like me had to attend the royal family’s call anyway, it was safe to say that the two were confirmed.
And, the last bluebell.
“Bluebell, are you going to the hunting festival?”
“Hunting festival? What is that?”
“Didn’t the imperial family send you a letter?”
“… “They didn’t send it to me.”
I said it for no reason.
It seemed like no invitation was sent to Bluebell.
Bluebell’s pride will definitely be hurt…
However, contrary to my expectations, Bluebell coolly withdrew.
“Well, that could be the case. “You may think that the Period family is not important.”
“… Okay? Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. “Nothing happened.”
Just.
“Next time you go to social circles and criticize the imperial family, or send support money to nobles who are dissatisfied with the current imperial family-“
“Oh, no… You probably didn’t send the letter! “It probably hasn’t arrived yet!”
“I will personally show you what happens when bastards bully the Period family. What a bunch of dogs. I didn’t even know how much my dad devoted himself to the empire. I really want you to search-“
After that, the gossip continued.
I thought it was fortunate that there were no people around. Because the level of gossip was high enough to get him arrested for treason.
‘… ‘I’ll have to tell the crown prince to invite Bluebell too.’
The process wasn’t that neat, though.
It was decided that all the villains would attend the hunting festival.
