I Became an Outcast in the Academy

3. Exile (4)

“hehehehe-“

These days, Lobelia has been living day by day, wrapped up in her mood of flying.

Because she hasn’t had any plans lately that haven’t worked out or failed.

Starting with her love affair with Ricardo up close, to her big brother, Xian.

Even with the help of Leticia and Ceria, it seemed as if everything in the world was going according to her will.

To be honest, I still can’t believe it.

The fact that he, who had been rolling around in the lowest place in the world, in the gutter, suddenly became a promising talent in the empire, and was now in a position where he could dream of a higher place.

Thinking so, Lobelia looked around the room where she was standing now.

Lobelia’s own room filled with all sorts of luxurious items, large enough to fit in a few decent households.

This, too, must be one of her luxuries that Lobelia would never have had had she not realized her own talents and had been stuck there in her gutter with her blueprints.

“If you look at it in that sense… Should I say thank you to her brother?”

Lobelia is also recognized. The fact that if Xian hadn’t saved her, hadn’t made her into her family, hadn’t given her an aptitude test that cost a lot of money, she wouldn’t be in this position.

But Lobelia had one wish.

She had a secret wish of her own, which she did not tell, let alone her other girls, to her brother Xian.

Lobelia would do anything for her wish.

The diarrhea is… Even if it means turning her back on her older brother, who has raised her up until now.

“Should I say fortunate that getting her brother out of here is simpler than I thought?”

Lobelia was well aware of what her husband’s personality was like, as she had lived with her husband and her family for a long time.

That’s exactly what she is, so she thought that if she tried to kick him out of Loutra herself, she would have some kind of backlash from her, but she… Unexpectedly, her vision was quiet.

Of course, since the noisy and irritating princess Cartesia is next to her, I sometimes wondered if she was messing around with her butthole, but now what the hell can they do? .

No matter how much he thought about it, Xian had only two options: being kicked out of Loutra, or going out on his own.

As much as that, it means that it’s okay that you don’t have to pay as much attention to issues related to drafts anymore.

Even if it’s not just cyanide, there are literally a mountain of problems that Lobelia needs to pay attention to and solve.

Just-

Lobelia wanted to summon her spirits by snapping her fingers to get ready to go out.

Although she herself could do anything to adorn her body, Lobelia preferred to summon her spirits and entrust her with minor chores in her daily life.

Because it is impossible for most ‘normal’ people to summon her spirit like Lobelia, she could feel that she was a very special person.

So today, Lobelia was going to call her spirits and have them wash her body and dry her body.

By the way-

“… Hmm?”

The spirit cannot be summoned.

The spirits that should normally be easily summoned do not appear here.

“… What, what?”

For a moment, Lobelia closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on her own. And she realized

For some reason, I can’t feel the spirit’s presence.

No, it’s not that I don’t feel well. Her spirits stayed by her side as usual, but her ability to govern and control them was in a state of decline.

Originally, I should have been able to project the spirit into this world simply by summoning the spirit to the material world and giving her magic power rather than breathing… That simple task feels very difficult at the moment.

Like that, Lobelia was more focused than usual, and she was able to summon her elemental only after she consumed more mana.

It is a terrible feeling as if you have returned to Lobelia, an orphan spirit lord with ordinary talents that can be found anywhere in the world, not Lobelia, a spirit lord with the talent to shake the empire.

Only then did Lobelia realize what changes had taken place in her body, and she involuntarily whispered in a very small voice.

“… Has my ability declined?”

****

The Imperial Capital Thermira.

It is the capital of the empire, and at the same time, a place like the heart of the empire, where all the infrastructure and facilities that exist in the empire are located in one place.

In the center of Thermira, there is Lutra, which is called the cradle of the empire, and in a place not far from Lutra, there is an imperial palace where the imperial family usually stays.

Since the distance between Rutra and the imperial palace is not far, any student of Loutra knew what the imperial palace looked like all too well, but there were not many students who had actually experienced entering and exiting the imperial palace.

And I, too, had never imagined that I would be able to enter the imperial palace in my life.

‘… Well, it would have been impossible if Cartesia hadn’t vouched for my identity….’

At times like this, I just feel like I’ve made a really good friend.

Of course, this place is outside Lutra, and her external status is her princess, so she can’t openly pretend to be close to Cartesia.

“What are you doing there? Let’s hurry. There is no room for procrastination.”

“Huh? Oh yeah.”

That’s how we passed through a huge door that I can’t even remember how many times we talked in small voices.

“We will head straight to the palace where Arietta is staying. Arrieta still has time left, but… Still, it’s an urgent situation. I’ve already told His Majesty that you’re coming here, so there won’t be any problems getting in and out.”

“… Dear Emperor, tell me my story?”

I don’t think it’s at the level of talking to your parents about a friend you recently dated, but that’s it.

“Don’t worry. There might be some ears here right now, so I can’t say in detail, but… Because I didn’t talk about your abilities in detail.”

After saying that, Cartesia leaned her body toward me and whispered in my ear in a very small voice.

“Your Majesty and others know that your ability is to heal people in a different way than before. So, you should never spit out useless words. Got it?”

“… Thanks.”

“What?”

“For taking care of me this much.”

Although Cartesia was talking to me now in a nonchalant tone, the truth was that she had taken a big risk of her own.

Because even though there was a purpose of concern for my safety, it was no different than daring to lie to the emperor who ruled the empire.

“… What is caring After all, I’m an ugly b*tch doing the same thing as your sisters.”

Cartesia muttered that to me in a very bitter tone.

“It is the same that I and your sisters are using you for their own ends. So if you’re going to resent me, I want you to resent me, and if you’re going to curse me, I want you to curse me. I am… I’m not in a position to just curse at those girls.”

“No, I can say it. You are different from my sisters.”

I said that while holding Cartesia by the shoulders and looking straight into her eyes.

“Your sister… It was always my opinion that I would use my powers to save Princess Arietta, and above all, wasn’t it the best choice for us to be here so that I wouldn’t be kicked out of Lutra? I am here by my own will.”

“… Ah.”

“So don’t blame yourself. If it wasn’t for you, it’s clear that I wouldn’t have been able to stand here after being kicked out of Lutra. So you… It’s like my benefactor. Sia.”

At my words, Cartesia dyed her own ear lobe bright red and bowed her head.

“… Chi, sorry. Ah, I’m not even ready yet, but this kind of thing is shameful… “

“… ?”

Unsure of what Cartesia is talking about, I frown at her, and she starts flapping her arms like a penguin.

To be honest, I thought that she was cute for some reason because it was her usual behavior that didn’t match her at all.

“Yes, yes. Come to think of it, this was also our home. If Arrieta’s treatment is over, will she go see His Majesty on the way back? Well, in fact, I wanted to introduce you to His Majesty from a long time ago… “

I blinked at Cartesia, who spoke in her light tone, as if her girlfriend was introducing her boyfriend to her own dad. Just then-

“Oh, even if it’s not the case, I’ve been thinking that the imperial palace smells of something base, but now I see there’s a different reason for that. I never thought I would come across such an unpleasant face here.”

I wonder where it came from, there was a person who was looking at us with a very unpleasant face.

“… Brother?”

Perhaps her genuine bewilderment, Cartesia looked at her Ricardo and blinked her own eyes.

“Why is my brother here?”

“Why am I here? That’s a stupid question, brother. Is it so strange that I am at my house?”

Ricardo shrugged her own shoulders and replied in a sly tone.

“And that is the question I want to ask, brother. I knew early on that your taste was unique, but… Could it be that he was in a state of temper enough to bring such a lowly servant to the sacred imperial palace? If you keep acting like that, wouldn’t your origins be too suspicious?”

For a moment, I didn’t miss the cold eyes of Cartesia.

“Perhaps it’s because the mother is lowly, your tastes have been very unique since before. Paying attention to a bug like that, or putting that bad thing around as her sister. I advise you, if you don’t want to advertise the fact that lowly blood is flowing in your veins, keep your mouth shut at this point-“

“Shut up.”

“… What?”

I cut off Ricardo’s words in the middle because they were words that I didn’t need to hear anymore and didn’t even deserve to be heard.

As I watched Ricardo’s face greatly distort, I opened my mouth to him again and spoke clearly.

“Shut up your mouth now, Ricardo.”
