A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 13 – Grand Duchess of Galois (edited)

“Everyone, let’s see the class start day.”

“Good.”

“Then, let’s go back at this point.”

After the entrance ceremony, we were allotted dormitories and headed to our respective dormitories.

The dormitory of the Royal Academy does not put a specific department in a specific building.

A cadet at the Royal Academy, no matter whether it’s martial arts, magic, or practical.

Nobles and commoners alike, everyone is equal in their actions.

However, the dormitories of the nobles were a bit larger, because nobles were accompanied by an attendant.

Since a room for the attendants was added to the blueprint, of course the nobles’ dormitory had to be larger.

So now I was moving to the dormitory with Nina.

Looking around, I saw several nobles moving with their attendants.

One curious thing was that almost all of them, male or female, were accompanied by female attendants, and male attendants existed like beans in a real drought.

I didn’t know why the nobles always had female attendants, but I knew at least one thing.

“Do you have any problems, young master?”

“No. Nina. What shall we have for lunch today?”

That’s right, the person you take as an attendant is the most trustworthy person for that person.

I don’t have any attendants other than Nina, and since I’ve been hanging out with her since I was little, she had no one other than Nina to trust and ask for miscellaneous tasks.

Compared to other nobles who have several entourage at once, I was on the small side.

Well, due to the nature of the Royal Academy, you can only bring one attendant with you, so you don’t have to worry about it here.

By the way, what should I really have for lunch today?

Since it is up in the capital, there are many shops selling really delicious food.

I heard that in the capital city, where there are many people and many shops, there are many cases where poor quality food is sold and goes bankrupt within a few months after word of mouth spreads.

So, at least the taste is guaranteed for the shops that have survived for a long time and are doing business here.

What kind of food would you like to eat with Nina today?

“Kyaaak!”

“Ugh.”

While I was walking and looking around, I bumped into a person.

“Gee, I was careless. Are you all right?”

I got down on one knee and reached out to the man who had fallen, trying to catch him and lift him up.

The person who bumped into me and fell was someone I could tell at a glance that she was a beauty.

Her wavy red hair, fancy hair ornaments, her eyes as clear as a lake, and her sculpted jawline and nose that seemed to have been carved by her artisan, one by one, were a woman that matched very well.

Is this the daughter of a noble family?

“I am so sorry. I couldn’t see ahead, so I bumped into it. Could you please wake up?”

However, the other person vehemently refused my outstretched hand.

“Who are you?”

She was looking at me and asking who I was.

Who are you?

This is the person you bumped into.

“Yes? What do you mean by that?”

“I asked who you are. Who sent you?”

Is she being chased by someone?

He looked very anxious.

Looking closely, there were dark circles under the eyes that couldn’t be covered with makeup.

I wondered if something was going on, but it wasn’t something I was involved in.

“I am…….”

“Merlin sent it?”

When I tried to tell her my family name, she started by saying the name of someone I didn’t know.

“Who is that person? I’m not a stranger, but when people talk, it’s a bit far…….”

“Are you from Zimelt?”

“… ….”

What else is Zimmelt doing?

No, just listen to what people say.

“Gimmelt and Merlin. I know neither of them. Rather, are you okay?”

“Get it away!”

-Pair.

I offered a helping hand once again, but she refused my hand so vigorously that it made a knocking noise.

-Woong Sung Woong Sung

“What? What’s the matter?”

“Well? Who is down and refuses to be lifted up?”

I can hear people muttering around me.

Oops, I wanted to avoid attracting attention as much as possible.

“Isn’t that woman the Grand Duchess of Galois?”

“Because hair close to cherry color belongs to the Galois family.”

The Grand Duchess of Galois.

That means that this young lady who collided with me and fell to the ground is the daughter of the Grand Duke of Galois who rules the Grand Duchy of Galois.

“The Grand Duchess. I wasn’t from the Princess’s family, I was just on my way to the dormitory. I am Alberto Salihar Maydern, the eldest son of Count Meidern.”

I introduced myself to the Grand Duchess of Galois and revealed which family I belonged to.

“Meidern…… ?”

She heard my introduction and said with a slight frown on her face.

“Sword master’s family?”

“Yes. The sword master, Count Meidern, is my father.”

“… ….”

The expression of the Grand Duchess of Galois seems to have softened a bit, so she held out her hand once more.

She seemed hesitant to take my outstretched hand.

However, the sound she heard around her eventually forced her to hold my hand and stand up.

“…… Do.”

“Yes?”

Princess Galois puts her eyes down and hesitates. She seems to be saying something, but I can’t hear her very well.

“Sorry… do. I thought it was someone from the family… All right.”

“No. I’m glad the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”

Whew, that’s good.

“Sorry for shouting earlier. My introduction is late. I am Irene Svartina Galois. She is the second daughter of the Grand Duke of Galois who rules over the Grand Duchy of Galois belonging to the Breguern Empire.”

The Grand Duchess of Galois introduced herself.

Irenera.

“What a beautiful name.”

“Ah… It’s no use talking like that. I’ve seen a lot of people like you.”

“Would you like to do well? Grand Duchess Lady.”

Anyway, Miss Irene seemed to be misunderstanding something.

“I think I fell because I was careless. Are there any injuries anywhere?”

“It’s okay. If she can’t overcome this much pain, she can’t be called the successor to the Grand Duchy of Galois.”

Hmm, he’s the heir to the Grand Duchy of Galois.

Anyway, she seemed to be a greater person than I thought.

“Oh, I didn’t know such a great person.”

“Yes. Both of us were wrong about this, so let’s just move on. It’s because neither you nor I have been able to look around.”

Saying that, Miss Rene let out a sigh.

Is it a sigh of relief or a sigh of bewilderment?

I didn’t know the meaning of her sigh.

“Then, let’s go and see.”

“I won’t see you off. Then… ….”

I said goodbye to Miss Irene and went our separate ways.

By the way, what should I eat for dessert after lunch today?

The thought of eating lunch and buying a dessert to go with it made me feel better.

First, let’s go to the dormitory and think.

So, I broke up with Miss Irene and headed to the dormitory with Nina.

–

Irene Svartina Galois.

She was the second daughter of the Grand Duke of Galois, the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Galois belonging to the Bregern Empire.

Child Rene was an attractive woman with cherry-red hair and blue eyes that only those born from the Galois family could have.

And her dark circles around her eyes added to her decadent charm, so many men even wooed her.

From the time she made her social debut to the time she entered her academy, many of her sons from noble families have confessed to her.

However, she rejected their heartfelt confession with her words.

Why did she reject their confession?

This was because of the situation she was in now.

As with any aristocratic family, in a family where brotherly love is not strong, he tries to take the place of the heir himself.

Or parents who want their children to be the sole heirs of the family.

There were frequent fights that were not visible from the outside.

Alberto’s family, the Maidern family, was peaceful because the current head of the family, Count Meidern, had a solid position, and no one was particularly interested in the power struggle in the countess’s family.

In addition, Alberto’s younger brother and two younger sisters followed him well, and Alberto also cherished and loved his younger siblings.

However, the Galois family, the family of Irene, was not like that.

Only one person can take the place of Grand Duke who rules the Grand Duchy.

It was the Galois family where countless strife took place to occupy the position of the heir that only one person could become.

Irene also grew up in the danger of assassination.

The situation where life could be lost if she was a little careless made it impossible for her to relax at any moment in her life.

Fortunately, Irene’s mother was the 1st Grand Duchess, who could be called the royal family.

In terms of herself, in terms of the legitimacy of her mother and the strength of her family behind her, there was no one who could match Irene.

But, did they say that humans are greedy animals?

Those who have tasted power once will inevitably seek greater power.

So they tried to secretly assassinate Irene somehow.

Since the current Grand Duke of Galois has chosen Irene as the next successor.

If she died, her own children would become rulers of the vast Grand Duchy of Galois.

Amidst these threats, the child Rene could not rest in peace anywhere, and she could not confide her true feelings to anyone.

If she confided her feelings to her mother, who was her only support, her disapproval would fall, so there was no one she could confide her feelings to.

In a situation where you don’t know who will come to kill you, the child Rene couldn’t even take her little break.

Now that she is a grand duke and her mind is so concentrated that she doesn’t need anything, she needs someone strong enough to lean on and rest on even a little bit.

So, her ideal type became someone who was strong, reliable, and able to protect herself.

During this difficult struggle, she began to wish for a prince on a white horse to save her.

However, when she entered the Royal Academy, she found that she couldn’t meet her standards because men weaker than herself were courting her, let alone the prince on a white horse she had hoped for.

But today, the day of the academy entrance ceremony.

I had to meet Irene.

She herself wished so much in her dreams, she had a prince on a white horse.

“Gee, I was careless. Are you all right?”

He speaks to himself in a soft and warm voice.

Slightly golden silver hair, fair skin and bright red lips.

A sharp jawline and a nose that looks like it was carved by a master craftsman.

Two eyes that seemed to be closed as if they would not see all their flaws.

A gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

Finally, an overwhelming force that I couldn’t feel from other men.

He was a man who could feel the momentum to embrace and follow everything, not the momentum to oppress the other side chaotically.

“Alberto… did you say that?”

When Irene called his name, she felt an unknown and powerful pull.

“Ugh, did I treat you too coldly…… ?”

Like a girl in love, with her cheeks flushed, she regretted what she had done a moment ago.

I didn’t want to stop revealing my feelings at the sincere kindness I felt after meeting him for the first time in a long time, so I ended up treating him coldly.

However, in spite of her cold demeanor, he was always gentle and considerate of himself.

“Alberto… ….”

When his name was called, the child Rene felt his dry heart become wet again.

But does she know?

In the first place, there was no place for her in his heart.

Alberto was kind to her, just so that she wouldn’t be misunderstood for her own appearance.

And he already had someone he liked, and the person he liked liked him too.

It was only that the two were keeping their distance for a while because they did not know each other’s feelings.

If she had known that fact, Irene would have given up on Alberto cleanly.

However, in Irene’s heart, who did not know that fact, a small seed sprouted a crush for Alberto.

No one knew whether the sprout would become a full-grown tree or wither before it could grow.
