8. Academia is Noisy (Part 2)

 after school.
 Sensing the second bug news, I got up and headed for the salon room. Twice a week, on a fixed day, Elizabeth holds a study session with the daughters of her friends.
 
 As expected, Leohart and Miss Risha were there.
 If I somehow supported my body, which was about to collapse from fatigue, with the wall, and watched――,
 
“Elizabeth-sama, would you like to include Lisha in this gathering of ladies?”
“Eeeeeeee!?!?”
"Yes, if that's okay with you, Lisha-sama..."
 
 In front of the door, Leohart and Elizabeth are talking while being watched by the young ladies. Miss Risha who was sandwiched between the two was surprised.
 And, as soon as they recognized my appearance, the young ladies silently turned around.
 scared.
 
'What the hell is this? 』
 
 They didn't speak at all and their mouths didn't move, but I knew what they were trying to say. Have I finally mastered the art of mind reading?
 Shake your head to show your reluctance. I don't know, I want to know too.
 
"His Highness Vincent. Good day."
"Hi, Elizabeth."
 
 In response to Elizabeth's greeting, the young ladies immediately showed their gratitude with a smile. However, the line of sight is still severe.
 A prince from a neighboring country suddenly appeared—and he was looking for a potential wife—calling Elizabeth by name and showing a friendly expression. She will be tempted to wonder what happened.
 Actually, if I met him at the royal palace in the morning and it was revealed that he had already proposed to me, I would probably be more criticized than Leohart...
 Ah, it's been a long day today...
 
"What we are learning is the content of the second year. Is that okay?"
"Yes, I want to absorb even a little knowledge."
 
 Miss Lisha is on the verge of crying even though she nodded at Elizabeth's gentle question.
 The figure that hugged the pen and notebook looked full of motivation, and what I took was just chasing Leohart for the time being. I was surprised to see my eyeballs just now.
 No matter how you look at it, it's water that came to mind. That's why Elizabeth takes care of her too.
 
 Leohart's plan was to have Miss Lisha participate in the study session in order to establish a connection with Elizabeth within the academy――or something like that, while calmly analyzing the situation, Leohart shone brightly. I approach Elizabeth with a royal smile on my face.
 It doesn't work on Elizabeth at all, though.
 
"Elizabeth, would you accept my offer? I would like you to see my country."
 
 It could mean either as my crown princess for the sake of diplomatic relations, or as a candidate for Leohart's wife.
 Leohart's words made the escort daughters sharpen their eyes.
 
"Well,HoneymoonhoneymoonThat would be fine for Noori."
 
 In other words, it's useless now. Do not touch. Keep your mouth shut. Reply denial with various thoughts.
 Oh, Elizabeth is blushing. She seems to have lost her composure because she is conscious of marriage. cute.
 
 In front of Elizabeth, Miss Lisha stands still with a pale face. She seems to have her face fixed with this expression.
 She is also a hard worker. When she thought she was involved in the second prince's study abroad, he fell in love with the fiancée of the crown prince, where she was studying abroad. As a baron's daughter, she can't even reprimand her.
 What was she brought here for? What is Leohart's purpose?
 
 Haa, I sighed for an unknown number of times and shook my head.
 
 It can't be helped, it seems the time has come to use the trump card.
 
“Leohart, don’t be so unreasonable. Isn’t what Marius-dono wants is for you, your precious younger brother, to train yourself?”
 
 I expressed it in a euphemistic way, but the point is that you are studying. of the daughtersflower gardensalonIt's not the time to push Miss Lisha into the house.
 In order to increase the effect, I will reveal the name of the person who is the weak point.
 It's an unspoken threat that you can report to your brother.
 
 Leohart cannot go against his older brother, Marius-dono. Even more so, if they are fighting factions, it will be painful for the scandal to reach the country.
 Like a powerful magic spell, that name binds Leohart--that was supposed to be the case.
 
 But Leohart grinned.

 When I turn around at the sound of things falling, next to me, Miss Lisha is holding her breath and putting her hand on her chest.
 His face was so red that it seemed like it was steaming. A notebook and pen at her feet.
 
"I-I want to learn as much as possible...!! Please!!"
 
 Miss Risha said with a desperate expression while becoming like boiled octopus.
 Elizabeth soothes Miss Risha who bows her head over and over again.
 
 ――Is that so?
 
 From the reaction of the two, which contrasted with my imagination, I realized a part of the ''behind the scenes''.
