I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

291.Baron Johan Quartz Is Entering! (6)

Does this guy have no sense?

Barely pushing my anger down my throat, I turned my gaze away from this oblivious first prince and looked at Karina. Karina made eye contact with her first prince, then opened her mouth with a troubled smile.

“First Prince. “I have a partner.”

“I know at least that you volunteered to be my partner out of consideration for your escort knight.”

What kind of bullshit is this?

How much delusion has this b*stard had in her brain to make such a statement? I looked at him dumbfounded. He didn’t care about the shower of attention and opened his mouth with a needless expression, as if he was absorbed in his words.

“There’s no way you could like a beast like that.”

“John is not a beast.”

At Karina’s answer, the crowd who were watching this conversation with interest could be heard holding their breath. Karina’s sharp reaction must have been embarrassing.

I tried to join in on the conversation, but decided to just watch for now.

After all, the one who was scared was the 1st prince.

How will the 1st prince, who was unable to become the crown prince due to her lack of ability and who usually does not listen to good comments due to her narcissistic behavior, react?

Under everyone’s curious gaze, the 1st Prince, who was as frozen as a stone statue, looked at Karina with her bewildered eyes and asked.

“Saint, what are you saying…”

“First Prince.”

Karina could have spoken in such a cold voice. Although I was surprised by the sight of Karina for the first time, I was even more surprised by the thought that even her appearance her her she was lovely.

“I understand that it is rude to ask someone who has a partner to dance at the debutante stage.”

Soft and gentle. And there is a cold chill inside.

Everyone, including me, froze and looked at Karina, hearing a voice that was so cold that it took away the summer heat. Karina turned her gaze away from the outstretched hand and continued speaking without changing the color of her face.

“There are many ladies waiting for His Highness the First Prince. “I have a partner, so how about dancing with them?”

“…Sir, saint, there seems to be some misunderstanding…”

“I have never said anything that could be misunderstood.”

How far are you going to go? I quietly approached Karina’s side her her her her. I quietly stood between the 1st Prince and Karina and looked down at him.

And she spoke politely to him.

“First Prince. If you keep kneeling like that, your body will get hurt. Please wake up.”

“…You go on a rampage without knowing how to use it.”

What?

What on earth is this guy talking about?

I stared blankly at the first prince who was behaving indecently in real time.

Because it seemed like an unidentified logic that I couldn’t understand was passing through the first prince’s head.

He must have been so angry at being rejected by Karina that he started shaking and pointing at me.

“You’re so arrogant for just an escort! Do you think you have the status to stand proudly before me?”

Aha. Are you afraid to put pressure on me based on your status?

Oh, of course, being the prince of an empire is a position far removed from the nobility. But if you’re going to use power, you have to choose the time and place. All the nobles are watching, but you’re acting viciously to steal someone else’s partner?

Even though you refused?

Are you out of your mind?

Don’t you learn things like kingship?

At this point, I think I’m going to laugh because it’s ridiculous. I suppressed the laughter that had welled up in my throat and spoke in a calm voice.

“First Prince. “This is the banquet hall now.”

This is the banquet hall. You idiot.

Even if you are a prince, you have to protect what you have to protect. Do you really think that nothing will happen after the prince, who has a delicate reputation, causes trouble here?

The atmosphere among the nobles is getting colder now.

“I should have looked into it when I didn’t even dare to respond to Jim’s invitation!”

“At that time, I had no choice because I had to protect the saint.”

“Bouncer! “You’re just making excuses!”

“This is a world where demons are roaming around, targeting saints. In a situation like that, how could I just leave her her her her saintly her side her her?”

I had a legitimate cause.

Demon Harpas. And even the incident caused by the fake magic book that broke out in the spring.

Hasn’t the fact that the devil targeted Karina already spread throughout the entire continent?

Moreover, I had evidence to justify it.

If you tease me too, you’ll get the devil’s head.

The 1st Prince must have thought that he could not win with his cause after coming this far, so he began shaking and grinding his teeth like a smartphone vibrating mode.

How many times have you tried to show me that the future of the empire is dark? As if such a situation could not be tolerated no matter how silent, a new voice joined in from the side.

“Older brother.” “How about you stop?”

Did you intervene because you thought this was the right time? I shifted my gaze to Prince Killian, who had intervened in the 1st Prince’s confrontation. Prince Killian approached the 1st Prince with a friendly smile, just like when they met a few months ago, and placed his hand on his shoulder.

“Older brother.” You can’t do this here. Isn’t this a ball held to celebrate everyone becoming an adult? You have to choose the right time and place.”

“Killian, I must remain silent even after receiving such insults…”

“Older brother. The debutante banquet is still in progress. If you keep doing this… Your mom will be disappointed too.”

At Prince Killian’s warning, the First Prince turned her head and looked behind her with her blanched face. Perhaps she belatedly remembered that there was an emperor sitting on her throne looking at her.

I quietly watched the situation unfold.

2 The prince was helping her improve her self-image and build a relationship with me.

I have no reason to take her second prince’s side her her, but I had no reason to do anything if she offered to blow my nose without touching me.

“Lord Quartz. My older brother is a bit impatient. Please understand.”

“It’s okay. “Isn’t it true that anyone can make mistakes in their youth?”

Actually, in terms of physical age, I am younger. Of course, I wonder if anyone would look at my face value and think I’m the same age as Karina…

“I’m fine.”

“Hmm, you must have behaved in a disgraceful manner.”

The 1st prince cleared his throat and made a pose as if he was trying to make up for it belatedly, then turned his angry gaze towards me and said.

“I will watch.”

Just like that, the 1st prince disappeared somewhere along with Prince Killian.

“John, are you okay? “If you get in trouble because of me…”

“Don’t worry too much. “If you have any thoughts, you won’t try to harm me.”

If you look at the 1st prince, he could challenge a knight under his command to a proxy duel as an insult like in the original, but I was confident that I would win even if the current leader of the imperial knights came. ﹥

The current leader of the Imperial Knights is also stronger than Jonna, but he is not stronger than Lord Kalintz.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“It was not me who suffered, but Ka, no, the saint.”

It’s really awkward to say something polite in front of other people. Karina smiled elegantly, as if she was amused by my efforts to speak politely.

“Hehe, there’s something strange about John using the honorific language.”

“…It’s unavoidable when there are so many people.”

“So, you really seem like a knight.”

“You mean not normally?”

“Hmm…John is more like a mercenary than a knight.”

I can’t deny that either. It’s not that I value chivalry, and my fighting style is closer to that of a mercenary than a knight.

“The two of you are so sweet that many young children and young children will shed tears.”

Well, there are probably some people who are targeting Karina and dreaming of turning her life around her, and is there a lady who is targeting me?

“I don’t know if there is a lady who would target me.”

“Oh my, don’t you think you value yourself too low, John? If John has achieved unprecedented achievements, he is someone whom the ladies cannot help but love.”

“…For that matter, the only lady who avoided my gaze every time I made eye contact was…”

“Although he is the main character of this debutante, when Yohan looks around with such a cruel look on his face… “

Martina trailed off as if she felt sorry for speaking out of her own mouth.

But did I do that?

Well,

“It’s rather good.”

It was to my advantage that no one bothered me.

I quietly held the hand of Karina, who was next to me. Since there were many eyes watching, I didn’t show my affection openly, but just holding her hand like this made me feel like I was falling into a sweet dream.

“I envy you two. When will I also have passionate love…”

“You’ll find Martina soon.”

“I hope so. “It’s really difficult to find a good partner…”

Once the war of nerves with the prince came to an end, people’s attention gradually dispersed.

Some young people and young ladies still seemed to want to talk to us, but they seemed unable to dare to talk to me because of my appearance.

Aren’t these completely scary?

“Are there any other academy students besides us?”

“Well, yes, but it’s probably someone I don’t know.”

“Martina. “Did Lady Tricia come to the banquet hall?”

Martina turned to me and answered my sudden question.

“My friend Lady Clarice says…”

It was at that time. As if intercepting Martina’s words, the chamberlain who called our names loudly announced the appearance of a new guest.

“Prince Patrick and Lady Trisha are entering!”

…Oh my. Are you stuck with the 3rd prince here?

I looked at the 3rd prince and Trisha who appeared as if they were the main characters of this banquet.

Arms folded affectionately.

On the outside, they look like handsome men and women, but what can I say…

It smells bad.

“Karina.”

I quietly met Karina and made eye contact with her. Karina blinked a few times at my question, then smiled and nodded.

“Let’s go say hello together.”
