Chapter 234
Ryu Hong-hae, the scarlet princess, saw the man who caught my gaze.
“He’s my step-brother. 4th grade, class A. His name-”
“Hayton Vallua!”
As I shouted, Hayton raised an eyebrow and said.
“Long time no see.”
I looked at him with a shocked expression.
After the fall of Vallua Duchy, I supported the brothers.
While Hayton’s younger brother, Niel is still receiving support as before, I had lost contact with Hayton four years ago.
I didn’t look into it because I thought that he would be able to live well on his own, but it seems like he was attending this academy.
I glanced at Henry and Isaac.
“Why didn’t you tell me Hayton was here?”
“No reason.”
“It’s not important.”
Then Isaac flinched when he looked at me and continued,
“……I don’t want the word Vallua get into your ears.”
Knowing that I was abused by Vallua in my second life, my brothers didn’t want to use the word Vallua so that I would not recall the memories of that time.
“……But can you tell me next time?”
Henry smiled sweetly as I pouted my lips.
“Yes.”
But it was strange.
The people in the Elysiano Class who were looking at me and Henry had their eyes widened in surprise.
When I looked at them, Jin, the copper-skinned man, smirked.
“So this guy knows how to laugh.”
“Didn’t Henry always smile?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen him smile sincerely.”
“My brother actually smiles really well. He has a very pretty smile.”
Henry chuckled and laughed when I put my hands on my waist and spoke proudly.
The people of the Elysiano Class burst into laughter.
“So this is the infamous sister?”
“She’s so cute! I also have a younger sister and she is also cute. Wanna see?”
As Jin spoke, the scarlet princess, Ryu Hong-hae, showed the pendant hanging around her neck.
“A pendant?”
“Yes. This is a girl. She’s a brave girl who shines. Also look at this sapphire coloured pendant, this is a boy. It’s an elegant color, isn’t it?”
“This girl is a pervert who treats jewelry as a person.”
At Isaac’s words, Ryu Hong-hae embraced the pendant carefully as she stared at Jin and Isaac.
“I told you not to speak harsh words in front of my siblings! But tell me, how did you get that necklace? Huh? I’ve always wanted it as my siblings.”
That’s because this necklace is the hope mercenary guild, and that place is mine.
Actually, I refused because the necklace was too expensive, but Seria secretly put it in my luggage.
It would be better to sell it.
While fiddling with the necklace, I asked Ryu Hong-hae.
“Do you want it?”
“…… What?”
After a moment of disbelief, Ryu Hong-hae took a step back and covered her mouth.
“W-wa-wait. R-really?”
“Yes.”
“I have another sibling now. You gave the pendant. But would it be fine?”
“Princess, no, senior, wouldn’t it be happier if it became senior’s younger siblings?”
When I handed her the necklace and said, Ryu Hong-hae wept as if she was very moved.
“Lady Dubblede is nice, unlike your brothers.…….”
“Yes, I am nice unlike my brothers. Would you like to be friends with me?”
“Of course~!”
Ryu Hong-hae hugged me and rubbed her face on top of my head.
“I’ll invite you to my mansion. Let’s have tea with my siblings.”
Jin chuckled.
“Good for you. Hong-hae is a pervert, but she’s the president of Odis Women’s Association. It’s also an alumni association. Miss Javelin is also a member of the Odis Women’s Association, right?”
‘That’s right! My aunt also graduated from Odis Academy.’
There are many famous women in power in the alumni association.
‘Through Ryu Hong-hae, I think I will be able to build relationships with not only current students but also graduates. Thanks Seria!’
I was deeply grateful to Seria and grabbed Ryu Hong-hae’s hand.
“I also have a lot of pretty siblings. Black pearl, red beryl… let me introduce you to them.”
“Oh my gosh, I’m so excited!”
Ryu Hong-hae was delighted as she jumped up and down.
‘I got princess Ryu Hong-hae through one necklace, how nice!’
I giggled inwardly and Ryu Hong-hae said with her eyes shining.
“How about this Friday afternoon?”
“You agreed to help me with my experiments on Friday afternoon.”
A purple-haired boy with black-rimmed glasses said that.
This is the person I saw with Jin in front of the meeting room last time.
“Juliet.”
Juliet?!
Startled by Ryu Hong-hae’s words, I opened my eyes and looked at the boy, no, the girl Juliet.
‘She’s the witch from Mojas Empire?’
I thought she was a boy, but she must be a girl.
Ryu Hong-hae groaned, “Ugh.” and glanced at Juliet.
“Can I help you next time?”
“It’s already been delayed for the fifth time, rascal!”
“But she had a red beryl. How cute would it be?”
“Do you want me to turn you into jewelry like your siblings?”
As the two of them were arguing, I quickly beckoned to Emeline.
Emeline, who was a few steps away from me and the people in Elysiano Class, widened her eyes.
“Emeline!”
When I called her in a hurry, Emeline walked up to me. I grabbed her by the shoulder and told Juliet.
“I’ve heard a lot about you. We adored and respected you, especially my friend.”
‘Introduce yourself quickly.’
Emeline, who was blushing, tried to introduce herself while stuttering after I grabbed her shoulder.
“M-my name is Emeline……. Princess of Mojas.”
“I’m not a princess. I am the child of a concubine.”
Juliet said nonchalantly about her origins as she scratched her head.
“I-I’m sorry…….”
“It’s something everyone else knows.”
“Ah…… yes……. Uh, senior. I have the right to choose a mentor first. So…….”
“No.”
“…… Huh?”
“Don’t ask me. It’s annoying to have a mentee. Hong-hae, come and help with the experiment on Friday.”
Having said that, Juliet handed an empty glass to the passing servant and turned around.
“I’m going now.”
Juliet shrugged and waved her hand. As she walked away, Emeline shouted.
“Why?! Why did you refuse? Is it because I’m a commoner?”
Juliet stopped walking, turned her head and looked at Emeline.
“You just added one more reason for my refusal.”
With those words she turned her head again, and Emeline bit her lip.
“Emeline…….”
“…….”
Seeing us, Isaac clicked his tongue.
“Juliet is always a loner. If you want someone who is well versed in magic, I recommend Jimmy of Class A in 4th grade-”
“…… Give up.”
Emeline, who had lowered her head, murmured.
I asked her, “What?”
“I’m not giving up! Even if I die, I will make her my mentor!”
Juliet, who was just about to walk out of the door, burst out laughing.
“Try it.”
After shaking her head, she exited the door completely. Then Emeline said with a smirk.
“I made a choice, Leblaine. Now it’s your turn. I’ll chase Juliet, so take care of yourself, okay?
She wished for my success and went out to chase after Juliet.
‘No, what does she want me to do when all of the attention is on me now…….’
Everyone’s attention were on me. My brothers looked at me with their eyes shining, and even the people of Elysiano Class focused on me.
“The person I chose…….”
At that moment,
“It’s mine!”
“No, it’s mine!”
“Why do you always take my food!”
“I grabbed this first!”
The twin princes began to quarrel.
Jin said, “Stop, stop.” and separated the two.
“It’s an important moment, so fight next time. Okay?”
“Do you want to die, West?!”
“You’re dead, you stupid East!”
“Stop it. East, you become the older brother and let it go.”
Jin took the glass from East’s hand, and handed it to his younger brother, West.
West snorted and took the glass, East’s yellow eyes suddenly gleamed.
“Why should I always surrender to him?”
“Rascal, it’s only a glass of champagne…….”
When Jin muttered,
Bzzzt-!
The glasses on the table vibrated and then it shattered.
“Leblaine!”
Henry came to me, and Isaac quickly put a barrier to block the fragments.
“Ahh-!”
“Run away! It’s a werebeast!”
What?
I looked at East who began to change in Henry’s arms.
With his fangs exposed, East quickly turned into a giant wolf and howled.
West, who was holding the glass of champagne, said.
“Brother, I’ll give it to you. Don’t be angry!”
The giant wolf, East, who was staring at West with its bright yellow eyes, opened its mouth. West flinched and stepped back.
“Stop it!”
Mina protected West.
The scene felt like it’s moving in slow motion as East rushed towards West.
And…….
“Ahh-!!”
There was a scream.
Blood flowed on Mina’s shoulder as she hugged West, and at the same time, the students and staff of Elysiano Class subdued East with magical chains.
Among them was a male professor who oversaw today’s class assignment.
“I’m disappointed, East.”
East, who had suddenly returned to a human form, groaned with his fangs exposed.
“East Waynes. You are kicked out of Elysiano Class.”
This year’s freshman party ended in such a mess.
***
The next day, the school was noisy due to the case of the Waynes twins.
“He must be crazy. Even if werebeast are slow to develop due to the nature of their species, they don’t lack reason, do they? But he attacked his brother because of a glass of champagne? Even the child of fate was hurt.”
“Had it not been for the child of fate, there would have been an uproar. After hearing the news, his family sends an envoy to say thank you.”
“Of course it would be a mess if it wasn’t for the child of fate. The country was already divided, both of them have their separate supporters.”
“In Waynes, they think white wolves have superior magic power. Doesn’t that mean West, the white prince, has the upper hand? West is the first white prince in 500 years.”
“First of all, the eldest son is the black prince, East. Therefore, many nobles believed that the eldest son should inherit the throne. On the other hand, some also believed the stronger one should inherit the throne. They are supporters of the white prince, West.”
I sighed when I heard people talking while passing by, and Emeline, who was walking with me, clicked her tongue.
“I couldn’t even find a mentor because of that yesterday.”
“…… What would happen to East?”
“He might get expelled.”
“What about West?”
“I guess he was really scared about yesterday. He sticks to Mina…”
Then, I saw Mina walking while being supported by Sandra alongside West.
“Ah, Leblaine.”
Mina waved her hand brightly at me..
“Did you sleep well?”
“Is your shoulder okay?”
“Yes, thank you for your concern. Look, West, I’m okay right?”
“But…….”
West was fidgeting with a pale face.
“I’ll still be with you though. Let’s eat together.”
“You said you will eat with the Elysiano Class.”
“You can also go with me. If I give permission, you can also eat with us!”
“But my friends…….”
When Mina glanced at her, Sandra and the freshmen waved their hands.
“You can’t miss such a great opportunity!”
“Okay, I’ll eat with him.”
Mina sighed and told West.
“What’s on the menu?”
“Meat!”
“I love meat.”
“Wow-!”
Mina smiled and looked at me.
“Leblaine, would you like to come with me? Your brothers are there right?”
“It’s a little odd to be invited by my brothers.”
“What if West invites Leblaine too? It’s fine right, West?”
“I’ll do it if Mina wants it!”
“Let’s go together, Leblaine.”
I shook my head at Mina’s words.
“I have plans.”
“Really……? There was something I wanted to tell you… then there’s nothing I can do about it.”
As I walked past Mina, Emeline, who followed me, asked.
“Where are you going?”
“To meet East.”
“What are you going to do? Besides, I can’t go. Elysiano Class is in charge of him. If you get help from your brothers, you might be able to speak.”
“I don’t need help from my brothers.”
“What?”
“Just go. Aren’t you going to see Juliet?”
“That’s true, but……. Phew, I don’t think you’re going to tell me. All right. Have a safe trip.”
Emeline stopped walking and waved her hand, while I nodded and headed towards my destination.
4th grade Class A. I went to Class A and knocked on the door.
“Hayton, come out.”
“…… What?”
“I have something for you to help me with.”
“You pretended not to know me yesterday, and yet you want me to help now? Do I look like a pushover?”
“If you took my money, you should pay it back.”
Hayton frowned.
“Are you a loan shark or a noble lady?”
“You are the brother of the scarlet princess, who is in Elysiano Class. So can you enter the place where East is imprisoned? Take me there.”
“…….”
Hayton looked at me with his eyes narrowed and sighed.
“Alright, let’s go.”
