If His Highness’ relationship with Baroness Abazn were to develop, that day would inevitably come again…
With that in mind, I was looking forward to what His Highness would do next. After he looked around us in a thoughtful manner, he called out to Baroness Abazn.
“Why did you approach us?”
“…I, I just want to say hello to Your Highness! Th, then she tripped me…”
“You seem to misunderstand. She’s the duke’s maid, it’s unlikely for her to do so.”
“I, I see… it seems that I was mistaken, I apologize…”
Baroness Abazn said that and bowed to Luria in a lackluster manner. His Highness smiled at us.
“There, the matter has been resolved. She merely approached us to say hello. Why don’t I take you to the medical office?”
His Highness tried to approach Baroness Abazn, but I stopped him.
“Please wait. Let us take her to the medical office instead. It’ll prevent weird rumors from spreading.”
“Hmm, that certainly is true.”
With a convinced expression, His Highness nodded.
The last time Baroness Abazn made a fuss saying that I tripped her, there was no Luria.
At that time, I immediately got angry and yelled at her.
After telling me to cool my head, His Highness took Baroness Abazn to the medical office.
This time around, I’m safe because there Luria is here…
…I thought so, but despite her ‘aching’ leg, Baroness Abazn suddenly stood up and approached His Highness.
Then, she embraced his arm.
“B, but… I want to be escorted by His Highness, I mean… what if people misunderstood what happened and blamed me?”
With that said, she stared at His Highness. She looked like a frightened, small, creature.
Sure enough, His Highness nodded with a bitter smile.
“Just this once, I will take her there.”
“…Couldn’t you just order a guard?”
“She requested for me. I shall take the responsibility of taking her there.”
“…Understood.”
While holding Baroness Abazn, His Highness went to the medical office.
Luria, who witnessed that scene, spoke out in anger.
“Who is that woman!?”
“Remember that woman well, Luria. For she’s none other than a whore who would love for nothing more than to entangle herself with not only His Highness, but other men, as well. She is also known as Baroness Mia Abazn.”
“What!?”
Luria looked at me in amazement, so I narrowed my eyes.
“From now on, I shall be on watch. She’s abnormal, I suggest you do as I said.”
When I started walking, Luria hurriedly beckoned to me.
“Milady, that isn’t the direction of the classroom!”
“It’s fine. I have something else to attend to, today.”
With those words, I head for the principal’s office.
