chapter 120
120 – Another Prologue (5)
Priscilla was a noble daughter of such perfection that even the imperial family evaluated her as an expert.
That’s why she was able to show off the spirit of becoming friends with the drill-headed lady in an instant.
“Ah, there—”
Unlike Drill Head, who had a warlike personality, he was surprisingly a guy who knew how to listen to other people’s stories.
Perhaps that’s why Priscilla’s advice was easily accepted, and her organization began to run without any friction, considering the addition of a new member.
“Thank you for just saying, Miss Priscilla.”
“No. This is my job. “In fact, it felt more comfortable with Miss Katarina taking care of it?”
In fact, the student council has become a collection of students who ranked 1st to 3rd with excellent grades.
Perhaps because of such a situation, there was an uproar as students ranked in the top 10 in terms of grades coveted the student council.
This was the reason for the spread of nonsense that if you come here, you will have omnipotent power or a guaranteed future after graduation.
“This is absurd. Secretary, Vice President. “Put this on Soleil’s bulletin board.”
“”Yes, Chairman.””
With great power comes great responsibility.
The reason why the student council room has functioned like a club room until now is because of its small size.
How much work can be done in this small organization?
So, it was an organization that was close to a folding screen, and it felt like every now and then, if there was something to suggest, a proposal would come out.
In that state, the scale suddenly starts to grow?
Then Soleil will start passing on various tasks, thinking it is an opportunity.
We will make it function as a student council in earnest.
That was our specification.
The key is to have a fun school life, but I don’t want to live here too busy with work.
“As the scale grows, so does the responsibility. This is the last bastion where the children of nobles can enjoy themselves in peace. “It is too much of a leap to try to learn about society here.”
That’s why I drew a line between them saying I wouldn’t accept any more people from them.
“And the other seats have already been reserved.”
Above all, if we hire new people now, there will be no room for those who will come back a year later.
You can’t kick out existing personnel without any particular reason.
I felt like Priscilla knew what I was saying, but I felt like her drill head didn’t.
But since she didn’t bother to ask, I didn’t answer the question I was asking.
“If you want to learn about society, why not hold a tea party every now and then?”
Next year, when Dior and other target students enter school, we will be old enough to have a coming-of-age ceremony.
It also means that you can get married, something you couldn’t do in the previous world.
It means that in just one year, Priscilla will become empress.
In that case, she should have experienced something like a tea party in advance so that she can act as an empress.
I became friends with a young lady named Westria, who had an excellent background in her own way.
If we had such a strong support group, wouldn’t we be able to hold a tea party without any problems?
“Tea Party….”
“Hmm, if it’s a tea party….”
Because Priscilla came from the countryside, she never held a tea party.
But the Drill Head, the princess of Westria, seemed to have a lot of experience in her.
It was truly a good appointment.
If you keep sticking around like that, won’t you soon become a skilled tea party host?
As I expected, Priscilla naturally spoke to Drill Head first about the topic of the tea party.
She must have been happy that Priscilla, who always stood out in everything, asked her for her opinion. Even her drilled head showed a bright smile and she began to babble to Priscilla about her tea party. .
As expected, bringing Drill Head into the student council was the right answer.
That was the moment when I thought that way.
***
It was a year as fast as light.
Soleil was already approaching winter break, and today was the day of the prom party hosted by the student council.
“It suits you well.”
“Thank you, Maximilian.”
Priscilla and I naturally paired up at the prom party and started dancing to the music playing in the banquet hall.
“It feels like time goes by so quickly.”
“I guess it’s because it was that much fun.”
“hehehehe. Yes, it was a really fun year, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, it was fun.”
Leaving ourselves to the leisurely tunes of the banquet hall, we talked about our lives at the academy over the past year.
“It was too huge for a picnic, wasn’t it?”
Priscilla smiled with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“It’s natural. “If that number of people are moving, the escort force is also quite large.”
Still, the imperial family provided escort troops, so the picnic went easier than expected.
Above all, since it was an excursion to the eastern region with a low floating population, the fact that there was little risk of problems was a big factor.
“I was shocked when everyone asked what a place like this existed.”
Priscilla sighed heavily and muttered.
“Isn’t that changing?”
“It will be needed for at least the next few decades, right?”
“That’s what will happen if I don’t get involved.”
A sanctuary sleeps in the basement of the Empire’s first treasure house.
It is still sealed with an unknown metal.
But now no one can enter or leave there.
The same goes for me, for whom the sun’s mana remains like a vestigial organ.
However, I have already put all the knowledge I can gain there into my head.
This means that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve super growth like the previous world.
The problem is the side effects that will occur if you act like that.
Considering that this also involves the mana of the sun, will it provide an excuse for foreign media targeting this place?
Otherwise, is there no problem?
Only after checking that can you use the information.
More than anything, if I release the information from the sanctuary now, the officials may rush to submit my resignation letter to Soleil.
That was really the specification.
“How did you memorize all that?”
Priscilla looked at me with a shocked expression.
The knowledge of the sanctuary is the future food of our empire.
It was something I had to memorize, so I just put in the effort and memorized it.
“I don’t forget important things. “That is all.”
As I said that and continued to lead, Priscilla looked up at me with a playful expression.
“You forgot about me for seven years? In total, you forgot about it for 13 years?”
“… “You are also an accomplice because you forgot for 7 years.”
“I just waited?”
Shameless.
I will soon be having my coming-of-age ceremony.
You’d better be prepared, Priscilla… !
“But why do school trips start in the upper grades?”
“It’s usually more fun to do things like that after you build a friendship.”
Wouldn’t it feel like a prelude to a honeymoon if you start from the 2nd or 3rd year?
I just thought that to myself and chuckled.
“Are you disappointed?”
“… To be honest, I feel a little disappointed.”
Priscilla said that and looked at me with a provocative gaze.
“It feels like a prelude to the honeymoon, right?”
It seemed like Priscilla also had in mind a wedding to be held along with the coming-of-age ceremony.
“If possible, spring would be nice….”
“This guy has a lot to hope for.”
“Is that a woman?”
Priscilla smiled brightly as she said that.
“I’ve been dreaming of this day.”
It was a voice full of sadness.
“So please forgive me for this much.”
If you say that, I have nothing to say.
She is a truly pretentious, troublesome, and troublesome woman.
I guess that’s why I’m more concerned about it.
“Think about it in advance even now.”
“What are you talking about?”
I took a moment to choose my words, keeping in mind that it seemed like it would end soon.
Then, when the song ended and the dancing stopped, he softly whispered in Priscilla’s ear.
“The wedding to be held next year. Coma, honeymoon destination… “Isn’t that a lot?”
As soon as I finished speaking, Priscilla began to sway as if her legs had lost their strength.
Her face had turned red, as if she had a fever.
Priscilla covered her nose and mouth with both hands, and tears seemed ready to pour from her eyes at any moment.
It felt like something about her made her heart warm because she loved it so much.
She thought she was a bit relaxed up to this point.
“I heard it from Alicia. I heard you have a child with whom you are thinking of getting engaged. I think I should hurry up and get married before I succeed to the throne. “Be prepared.”
“Shall we start by setting a date?”
The night I returned from the prom party.
Until my parents brought up the topic of marriage with a smile on their faces.
“Of course the wedding should be held in the imperial castle, right?”
“Well, it’s been a while since the imperial castle will be opened.”
“How long should I prepare an invitation?”
“Shouldn’t we inform the entire continent first?”
“That’s a good idea. Then—”
Usually he calls me when the sun is up, even if he has business to do.
But today, for some reason, he called me late at night.
I wondered what the hell was going on, but it seemed like the story about me marrying Priscilla had reached the palace.
… It wasn’t surprising.
Before I was the student council president, I was the crown prince of an empire.
This means that it was the object of most attention in the banquet hall.
My partner, Priscilla, suddenly sat down as if her legs had lost strength, and she was moved to tears.
Of course, the rumor would have inevitably reached the imperial castle.
This situation was probably orchestrated by my mother, who had been waiting for news of our marriage more than anyone else.
As she thought about that, her head suddenly started to hurt.
“Would it be difficult for the bride’s family to be too flashy?”
“Becoming a member of the imperial family means that your lifestyle and values must match it.”
“That’s right, right? Then um….”
You seem more excited than the person involved.
I had no choice but to forcefully swallow the sigh that was about to burst out along with my saliva.
I’m sorry, Priscilla.
I wanted to have a wedding that was a bit more common sense, but I think it would be as extravagant as the emperor’s wedding.
I secretly apologized to Priscilla, who was acting out a situation in bed, remembering the happy wedding.
As I listened to the two of you talking, and seeing Priscilla look embarrassed, it was because I thought it might be more delicious than she thought.
