I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Not Your Highness, Senior

Entering is Count Franz Wallenstein.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but the face of the official who is guiding me seems a bit confused.

The official tries to say something, but the count simply slumps into a random seat.

Scarlett and the Count casually greeted each other.

As he turned his gaze towards me, I also gave a small bow.

“… It’s a nice lunch.”

“okay.”

That was it, and I really had nothing more to say.

Seeing as you don’t ask what happened to me, you’ve probably already heard everything from Scarlett.

The party members came out again and started to look at the count.

I don’t really need to do that.

Anyway, thanks to his appearance, the atmosphere became very awkward.

Soon the door opened again and the awkward atmosphere was over.

No, I thought it was over…

“You can wait here.”

This time it was a face I knew.

Obviously the name… Was it Mary Ansberg?

Last time I saw him at the funeral of Count Ansberg.

When the Countess Mary Ansberg saw Felice, she looked surprised.

“Felice, why are you here?”

“Ah, mother, me, I… ”

Felice stuttered in panic.

You look like you’re scared.

It was Sally who gave the answer on her behalf.

“She called to testify in our Red Horse Tower. But who is that… ?”

Sally asks.

Perhaps Felice had not expected to be here, the Countess of Ansberg looked astonished just like Felice.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Countess Mary Ansberg.”

Still, she greets lightly according to the etiquette.

“Ah, I… ”

As she listens to Sally’s introduction, the Countess of Ansberg looks at Felice.

Felice flinched.

Then the Countess gives her a warning similar to that.

“Felice Ansberg, behave yourself.”

After saying those words, she sits down.

Silence fell again in the room.

No one was talking, and the atmosphere became more awkward than before.

It sounds like a very natural thing to say, but I couldn’t expect a noble chatter between the Count Wallenstein and the Countess Ansberg.

I winked at Scarlett Marche.

It means that maybe she was the one who called the Countess of Ansberg.

But Scarlett Marche only shrugged and shook her head.

‘If it’s not from this side… But Felice is a victim… ‘

I had a bad feeling.

After waiting for a while in such an awkward atmosphere, a sound came from outside the door.

This time, unlike before, footsteps were heard from outside.

Eventually, the door opens.

“Your Highness is coming!”

A court official in a fancy dress enters first and shouts like that.

The knights entered through the wide open door and stood on either side.

The first prince of the Empire, Oskar Schupelz, enters.

It’s the same face you see in the game.

Well, anyway, my memory of the game is starting to fade now.

Anyway, in the position of the prince, everyone rises from their seats.

Except for those two.

“Yes, everyone is welcome. Well done!”

The prince raised his hands and spoke in an exaggerated voice.

I glanced at Scarlett Marche and Franz Wallenstein.

While everyone got up from their seats according to the etiquette, the two of them sat steadfastly.

“… … ”

The prince’s face felt a little stiff.

The faces of the knights and court officials were rotting, and it was only after the atmosphere became chilly that the two slowly rose from their seats.

I’m a little worried that my neck might be blown away due to blasphemy like that.

Even so, I hope he will not do that in front of the emperor.

Well, everyone, including myself, greeted the prince.

People come in behind him.

One of the knights wearing armor that looked much more splendid and luxurious than the previous knights.

And those who appear to be the attendants behind the prince.

There, of course, Duke Epsilt and Leo Epsilt are also behind them.

‘When is the emperor coming?’

As soon as I think about it, Oscar Schpelz speaks again.

“Unfortunately, my father was not able to attend this event because he was busy with government affairs. Therefore, today’s meeting will be conducted by you.”

He naturally sits at the top of the table and speaks.

“under.”

Scarlett Marche let out a faint laugh from the side.

When I carefully look at her and send a questioning glance, she mumbles in a voice that is barely audible.

“It’s not a story that will end today anyway, so I don’t have to attend from the beginning and will only show my face when it’s all over.”

“yes… ?”

“Because the emperor is arrogant and vain. Maybe he thinks it’s not dignified to intervene directly?”

“No, he said he wanted mediation… Is that okay?”

“Of course not. Why don’t you show your face after calling at the best? under… ”

Scarlett frowned.

While we chatted for a bit, the Duke of Epsilt and his son sat down respectively.

By the way, Leo Epsilt was staring at me up to here.

Anyway, the knights and the prince’s attendants each stand on the wall behind Oscar and wait.

Meanwhile, the only knight in splendid armor standing next to Oscar.

Oskar Schpelz introduces the people who came in, including the article.

“ruler… As everyone knows, let me introduce myself briefly. This is Duke Konrad Epsilt.”

He points to the Duke of Epsilt.

“A loyalist of our empire. um, um Next, this is Prince Leo Epsylt. Are you sure you said they were classmates?”

He turns to Leo Epsylt, me, and the rest of the party.

We nodded with an astringent expression at the prince’s desperate choice of words.

“Good good! Lastly, this is the commander of the Royal Guards… Well, you don’t have to worry about it.”

What on earth is it good for?

More than that, it seems that the person who is the commander of the Guards Knights is being intentionally ignored.

match!

“Then, let’s start talking in earnest now! Actually, this is not a story that will drag on for such a long time, is it?”

The prince claps his hands and begins the story.

The story of his Jang Gwang-seo that followed, to put it simply.

it was just bullsh*t

This was the gist of what he was saying in an unnecessarily long, verbose, exaggerated tone.

What happened due to the overlapping misunderstandings between the cadets, the Red Horseman overreacted and made it bigger for nothing.

That was all he was talking about after all.

A story not worth hearing.

At least, the fact that the Emperor’s faction was protecting the Duke of Epsilt was proved with certainty.

Because what Leo Epsilt did was just passed on to our misunderstanding, and he was cleverly inducing and talking about this incident as if it was the fault of the red mafiaism.

What impressed me the most was the fact that Leo Epsilt tried to kill us.

It was just a misunderstanding of us who didn’t get along well with him.

“Yes, Miss Veronica Eltwin. Since you are a disciple of the master mata, let me tell you. Aren’t you two classmates?”

Even Veronica didn’t scream because she was in front of the prince.

Still, he did not acknowledge the prince’s words until the end.

“We are a classmate, Your Majesty the Prince.”

“… okay! At that age, we sometimes fight and get hurt, and that’s it! That’s what I’ve been through at the academy. Oh, by the way, I’ve been calling you to deliver the prince since before. You don’t have to.”

Why is the topic suddenly changed? We looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Aren’t we from the same academy? Don’t be harsh and call me senior! Um, juniors?”

“His Majesty the Prince!”

“Uh-huh!”

The attendants are terrified from behind, but Oscar silences them.

But we didn’t answer anyone.

The faces of the attendants hardened again, and so was the prince.

Say it with an expression of understanding.

“Ah, ah, yes. You must be embarrassed too. By the way, what I meant was… As a senior, I understand you too. Wouldn’t it make sense that we didn’t have any fights with each other at such a lively age in the first place?”

He looks at Scarlett Marche.

“I think this is the fault of the Red Horseman who caused a quarrel between the cadets to become a big problem. Where, am I wrong?”

Count Wallenstein sits still, his face grimacing, as if it was not worth responding to.

Scarlett Marche had a very annoyed expression on her face.

In the end, it was Sally who answered.

“I am sorry, His Majesty, but this is not something that can go beyond a quarrel between cadets. Cadet Leo Epsilt actually tried to kill Veronica and other cadets.”

“So, that’s a misunderstanding!”

The prince turns his gaze to Leo Epsilt.

“Isn’t it possible to be attacked by a beast in the dark forest? If you criticize, you should blame the Academy, not Epsilt-kun! Epsilt-kun, can you explain the situation at that time?”

Leo Epsilt Talks Bullsh*t

While he was standing by the watch, he heard a binge and thought that another party was fighting nearby.

I never thought that such a thing would happen.

“Yes, it is! You guys, who usually had a bad relationship with Mr. Epsylt, must have misunderstood or grounded suspicion that he did something!”

“Not that!”

An angry Veronica tries to argue, but the prince cuts her off.

“Yes, of course I will have to listen to you guys.”

As he said so, for some reason the prince looked at Countess Mary Ansberg and not at us.
