chapter 51
“Oh… it’s been a while. Rommel.”
Rosé shyly greets Rommel while twisting her body.
When Rommel, as well as Louis and Hergé’s eyes turned to Rosé, Rosé could not overcome the shame and bowed her head.
From the point of view of Rosé, who has only worn pants or shorts all her life.. Such an old-fashioned dress was very awkward.
Stockings that completely cover the knees and open shoulders that reveal the shoulders.
An unfamiliar feeling that the fresh breeze pricked her shoulders… For Rosé, who covered her entire body with a school uniform or armor, this obscene dress greatly increased her shame.
” ..who? “
“I am proud of my knight Rosé.”
“Princess…!”
“Are you Rosé-senpai?”
Rommel’s reaction with his eyes wide open and exclaiming
Right now, I want to bite my tongue and die… Seeing Rommel’s surprised expression, a sense of pride began to spring up somewhere in my heart.
“I worked hard.”
” ..Princess…! Now..Stop…!”
“Oh, Rosé. You were the one who asked me to choose a dress first? As a lord, I gave a present to a loyal knight.”
“…if you say that, I can’t help it…”
wow.
As Rosé, a formidable enemy who suddenly appeared, began to take control of the atmosphere in a sense, Louis grabbed Rommel’s arm even more tightly.
Not only the princess, but Rosé, the new dark horse.
Of course, I wasn’t sure yet that these two like Rommel.
Nevertheless, the woman’s senses began to send danger signals to those two people.
“Dr. Rommel…”
“?”
“Does Prince Rommel like a dress like that…?”
“Oh no, what do you mean by that?”
” .. while looking at only Rosé sunbaenim with a glance…”
“I must be wrong! Misunderstanding.”
” ..huh. “
However, it did not mean that there was no harvest at all.
One fact that Louie obtained by looking at this situation.
Rommel likes obscene dresses!
It was a bit of a perverted taste, but what should I do?
It was Louis’ own fault for falling in love with such a man.
“I’ll ask Papa a favor later.”
Of course, it was clear that Louis’ father would oppose it with bubbly, but there is no parent who can beat children.
If Louis persists, his father will cry and eat mustard, and eventually buy a similar dress for him.
Rommel and I make an appointment and stand in front of Rommel wearing a dress that his father bought himself from the emperor.
And in a friendly way… the two of them enjoy a date.
The place is Espera Estate.
The time is late evening.
Two men and women who enjoy dating, confirm each other’s feelings… and start dating.
What a wonderful love story this is.
As the plan was perfectly pictured in his head, Louis smiled with happiness.
“Hehehe…”
“..Louis?”
” ..huh huh huh.. “
“What the hell are you imagining?”
“Rommel.”
While Louis smiled faintly and went into his imagination, Rosé called out Rommel’s name softly.
Rosé called out Rommel’s name, even though he couldn’t properly look at Rommel’s face, twisting his hair with his fingers.
I just wanted to check Rommel’s reaction a bit more.
A dress I’ve never worn before, and an outfit I’m not familiar with.
It felt strange as it seemed to show the raw image, but at the same time, I had a strong desire to show Rommel well.
Rosé stood proudly in front of Rommel.
“What…what’s the use…?”
“Today…I…I mean…how are you…?”
” ..you’re pretty.”
” ..Thank you.. “
When the scene where the two men and women blush because they couldn’t look at each other’s faces, Hergé smiles while looking at it.
Also putting on a dress for Rosé.
What made Rommel come to this place?
Even if you went to the cafe yourself, everything.
It was Herje’s plan to harden Rommel’s heart before he fell for the second prince.
And the plan seemed to be remarkably successful.
“Hans is well trained.”
Rosé and Rommel just stared at each other to see if they had anything to say about each other, and Rosé spoke up first, wondering if this could not be the case.
” ..Is it? It will be a great article later.”
“It’s still a long way off, and I’m still not very good at becoming a knight, but I can still see the buds. I’m growing day by day.”
“Rosé-senpai’s teachings are special. Anyone can become a great knight if they are taught by the best knights in the academy.”
” .. you spit such shameful words … casually.”
At Rommel’s continued praise, Rosé had no choice but to bow her head quietly.
I wanted to show a serious and cool senior.. The redness on the cheeks and head that kept bowing was not easily erased.
When the atmosphere became awkward again, this time the princess looked at Rommel and asked a question.
“So it seems that Prince Rommel also has a business for me… Can I know what that business is?
” ..Yes, I have something to ask the princess. This time, I want to get help from the student council president, Erje-sama, not from the princess’s status.”
“Oh, I want to know what that help is.”
” ..in order to participate in the achievement test, I need the princess’s approval letter. I’m done talking with the professor in charge.”
“Are you taking the achievement test?”
“It’s dangerous, it’s a test no one in the academy has ever tried…”
Looking at Hergé and Rosé, who were slightly surprised with their eyes wide open, Rommel added an additional explanation.
“It’s not just that you take the achievement test to do well in the exam. You have a separate plan, and you must take the achievement test in order to implement that plan.”
” ..a plan? What the hell kind of plan did you have to take the achievement test?”
“It’s difficult to say here right now, but I’ll talk about it slowly separately later.”
Since it was because of the second prince, he could not speak openly here, so Rommel was as quiet as possible in front of Louis and Rosé.
Since he didn’t want to cause any other worries, Rommel kept matters concerning the prince as unwritten as possible.
“Okay, okay. Confucius Rommel, I’ll listen to the story slowly later.”
“I can’t do that.”
Rosé got up from her seat and looked straight at Rommel.
In the gaze of Rommel, there were mixed emotions such as worry and anxiety.
If the person you like is going to jump into your limbs, who will stand still?
Even Rommel was the weakest junior he had ever seen.
It was a situation where it was obvious what would happen if such a junior… met a bandit or a demonic beast in the achievement test.
“Are you crazy? Rommel. Do you know how dangerous the achievement test is and say that?”
“I know it’s dangerous.”
“But why are you walking down a difficult road? Your name must have already been widely known through the opposition.. Scouts who didn’t even have any interest in you are starting to pay attention. Inje-ya’s ability is being recognized..”
“I have to.”
He has to work under the second prince for the rest of his life.
Living like that, one day you will be evaluated as the second prince.
Even if the second prince was recognized as a public servant in the chaotic state of affairs, the second prince could not save himself.
The most outstanding person in the empire is only the second prince, and everyone else is a tool to support the second prince.
Just like the relationship between Hanshin and Liuyang in the past, it was very obvious that they would suffer tosagupin.
In order to break free from the second prince’s magic, it was necessary to first develop the political power of the princess.
“I don’t have enough time to explain everything right now…and you won’t understand it perfectly. In conclusion, it’s all for the princess.”
” ..it’s for the princess?”
“Yes, Rosé-senpai is the princess’s knight, so you can understand. All the circumstances surrounding the princess right now.”
” ..can you solve it?”
“Well, the word perfect is an impossible word.”
He picks up a cookie from the table and throws it into his mouth.
The sweetness that starts to rise little by little… and the savory taste that slowly spreads wraps around your mouth.
“But… the chance of success increases only when you aim for perfection. I’m going to try my best.”
“I understand the truth, but why is it an achievement test? Are there many other methods?”
“It is possible to extract maximum efficiency in a short period of time. As you know, the status of a student is convenient, but sometimes it becomes a prison. The achievement test is a good excuse because you can use it as a shield to do the things you can’t do.”
Montegro Academy students are excellent.
However, he has not yet experienced society.
That’s why the public regards the academy students as novice.
The students were frogs that had not yet come out of the well.
“..Then, Rommel, what will you show in the achievement test?”
“There are many things, but… in conclusion.”
Hergé and Rosé looking at Rommel.
And even Louis, who just woke up from the delusion.
All their eyes were focused on me.
I slowly made eye contact with them, and continued talking.
What I have to do in the future when I go to the south, Espera estate.
How to increase the power of the princess in Espera’s estate, which earns a lot of money from trade between countries.
“I’m trying to get some money from the moneyworms in the south.”
The emperor and the prince increase his power by solving the problems that the prince could not do.
