Chapter 45

“Hey, did you hear that?
“That’s right, Marcel, the Marquis has made a covenant with the Spirit of Darkness…”
“Prince Wang really wants to break up his engagement to Miss Marcel.”
“… Well, you’re right. When my fiancée is in the dark.”
“It’s true that if you approach Master Marcel, something bad will happen!?
“Shit! Here he comes.”
When I open the door to the classroom, the noisy classroom was in a flash, and Sin, quiet back.
Every day, every day… You don’t know what to look like.
I’ve had all these reactions in the last few days.
There are many whispers of malice along with the fact that I made a covenant with the Spirit of Darkness as to where the rumors spread from.
His Royal Highness, who noticed the fact, is also listening to various people in an attempt to converge rumours.
But as for me, there was a part that was originally seen on the far roll, but it was even more in that state with a circle.
Besides, I’ve only been eyeing each other lately, and I’m really depressed that their faces are drawn to fear.
Mr. Abbott is worried about this situation, and he’s staying on the side as long as he can.
But honestly, there’s a part of me that’s wondering how to handle it.
The day ends today in such a depressed mood. I smile and wave to Abbott, who leaves the classroom worried that there will be a gathering of wind discipline commissioners.
We need to do something soon.
If you stay like this forever, your Highness and Mr. Abbott will still be bothered.
I can hear from the side as I swallow the sighs that seem to come out unexpectedly and make my way home.
I feel my shoulders rise in surprise at that voice.
“Lady Rachel, may I have a word?
“Dear Katrina…”
“Actually, about that rumor, there’s something I’d like to put in your ear”
Master Katrina puts an elegant smile on her face and makes a whispering voice in my ear.
Rumors…
Unexpectedly, my gaze toward Master Katrina seems to have been tightened.
Master Katrina was deliberately surprised to hide her mouth with her hands, laughing at Couscous laughing.
Whether we need to listen to Master Katrina here. Instantly a variety of problems rush around in my head.
But I guess you have something to say about my rumors right now.
I thought I needed to talk to her once, too, and maybe this is just the right time.
Think of it that way and tell Katrina that you accept it.
Then Master Katrina brought me to the usual window seat at the cafeteria.
Looks like the twins were already here, and when they found us, they smiled and were prompted to sit down.
There are few people in the cafeteria, and there are a few sparse people at a distance.
At this point, it seems unlikely they will hear the conversation.
And when she sat around the round table, Master Katrina smiled, not knowing what she was thinking, and opened her bright red lips to break plenty of silence.
“I’m angry about that rumor.
You guys are just saying things on your own, right?
But I can’t believe it either. Lady Rachel is not the spirit of darkness. ”
Lady Katrina gently, grinning slowly shifts her gaze to the two as she asks Willemina and Euphemia, sitting next to each other, for their consent.
Besides, the two of them have a distorted grin like they made a fool of themselves somewhere by saying, “Yeah, really” to answer.
“Lady Rachel must have had a hard time.”
“I’ve never felt like I was hard. On the contrary, I am honored to be able to make a covenant with the Spirit of Darkness.”
“Oh, we’re not friends. You can tell me for real.”
One word after another with some inclusions.
I wonder what you’re trying to say.
My mouth makes a smile, too, but throws an exploratory gaze at me.
Then, Master Katrina sighs one sigh when she puts her hand on her cheek like she’s in trouble.
“Your Highness and I haven’t seemed to get along very well for a long time, but we’ve been getting along well lately, but I don’t know what happened.”
“Your Highness is always kind.”
“Yeah, I know. My fiancée would be sad in this situation.”
“… What does that mean?
“My gracious lord thinks my fiancée’s problem is also my own, and my heart may be looking for it. That’s what makes me sad. I want to do something about it.”
“You think that doesn’t help me as Your Highness’s fiancé?
Forced to turn his face into a smile that seemed unwittingly tense.
I know what she’s trying to say.
You’re telling me to get off that seat quickly, because I’m bothering His Highness.
Its empty seat is always ready to fit. It’s easy to think that’s what you want to say.
“Oh, my God, it’s out of my mind! I’m just telling my mother. If anything happens to you, I must be your fiancée.
I’m inferior to you in magic, but there’s nothing inferior about character or appearance or elegance. ”
Again.
The Marquise of Higgins had not given up her dream of having her daughter as Her Royal Highness’s Queen.
Last time, if it was my fault, Lady Katrina was inciting malice against the Virgin to get me off my fiancée’s throne.
I was sure you would think of somehow getting away from His Highness this time around.
“Nevertheless, what is a black cat? The Spirit of Darkness is adorable too.”
“… Could it be that you’re the one who rumored?
Sure, Willemina must have seen the Spirit.
Maybe Crowe was seen by Willemina the other day when he came out of the carriage.
If she saw it, she would report it to Lady Katrina first.
And there’s no way Master Katrina, who was always after His Highness’s fiancée’s seat, would not use this.
I knew it.
Was she pulling the thread behind it?
Katrina’s extensive connections probably made it easy to spread rumors and other things around the school.
I guess the idea was to isolate me, spread the discord with His Highness, and pull me off my fiancée’s seat.
“Yes, yes! There’s another interesting thing.
Your father said. ”
“Marquis Higgins?
“Yes, my father said that His Royal Highness had been in the Royal Palace Library for a while.
So, apparently, they’re loading dozens of books about magic and looking into something. ”
“Become…”
I can’t believe I’ve been exploring His Highness.
I have indeed heard rumors that Marquis Higgins, unlike his predecessors, has a strong appetite for birth and desires to connect with the royal family.
Maybe if that’s true.
Perhaps the Marquise is not the only one who wants her daughter for the Queen.
“Speaking of which, Lady Rachel.
Did you know that magic is exhausting? It’s unknown, and it’s going to lose its magic. ”
Piscilli, as if time had stopped at this word, and a sound could be played in my head.
What did you just say?
Didn’t you say that the magic was exhausting?
… I have noticed.
I don’t know where the story leaked from.
But maybe she knows the rough things about my current situation.
More vigilantly, I stare at Katrina, forgetting to even smile.
Lady Katrina at the time further grinned at my condition.
“Hey, Lady Rachel. Now, that prized water magic, can you use it?
Master Katrina smiles as young as a girl on that beautiful face, continuing even more with a voice that seems to laugh right now.
“If this were true, there would be no place for you chosen for your high magic.”
