Yves Lopenheim realized that he lacked courage.

 

If he had met Isaac right after returning to Marchen Academy, he might have had a pleasant conversation.

 

However, as time passed, as he regained his reason, his courage gradually diminished, and even though Isaac returned to Marchen Academy, he could not easily talk to him.

 

If it was a matter of simple courage, I don’t know. There were always big names that were hard to see by Isaac’s side.

 

Luce Eltania, Kaya Astreans, Dorothy Hartnova, Alice Carol, Princess Snow White… .

 

There was no room to dig in, and as time passed, Eve’s courage gradually diminished, and only hesitation deepened.

 

‘It can’t be like this… !’

 

As soon as she wakes up in the dormitory in the morning, Eve pushes herself.

 

It shouldn’t be like this. Saying she had to talk to her brother, she slapped her on the cheek.

 

I was in good shape today. I was overflowing with unfounded confidence, and I felt like I would be able to talk to Isaac properly even if the world collapsed. It was the best day ever.

 

however… .

 

“Isaac, where are you… ?”

 

From nob le mt l dot com

 

No matter how much I went around the academy, I couldn’t find Isaac.

 

Thinking just in case, Eve went to the Bartos Hall administration office and asked the staff about Isaac’s whereabouts.

 

“Student Isaac, you are out right now.”

 

“yes… ?”

 

“I applied for an outing and passed the guardhouse. It’s this morning.”

 

Eve was bruised.

 

On a day like today, I went out again… ?

 

Why did this happen again… ?

 

“excuse me? Eve student?”

 

The faculty members were concerned about Eve, whose complexion had deteriorated.

 

… …

 

A second-year student at the Faculty of Magic at Marchen Academy, belonging to Class A as of last semester and ranked 5th in the entire school, Keridna White Clark.

 

The meaning of this vacation was special to her.

 

It was because I had my first face-to-face appointment with a man who was a candidate for engagement.

 

Although the partner was the one her parents wanted to choose, Keridna didn’t even know his face.

 

Since he is famous for his beautiful looks, he had no choice but to look forward to it.

 

“Lady Keridna, you were nervous.”

 

“Hey, are you nervous? It can’t be, can it?”

 

Keridna was sitting in a beautiful pavilion in the garden in front of the White Clark family mansion. A maid was standing nearby.

 

The white snow that falls year-round in the northern regions covered the roof of the pavilion. It was designed with the assumption that snow would fall, so the scenery overflowed with aesthetic sense.

 

Keridna, who was beautifully decorated, trembled as she imagined her ideal type.

 

“But the hand… .”

 

“It’s epilepsy.”

 

“Ah, yes… . But how about taking a deep breath and relaxing your mind?”

 

“Because I’m not nervous.”

 

Keridna laughed carelessly.

 

“Rather, there is plenty of room. What am I missing that makes me nervous? The only thing you should be nervous about is the other person. If you can’t embrace my evil nature hidden behind an innocent face, then you don’t deserve to be my man… !”

 

“ah… , yes. Yes.”

 

Keridna has yet to shed her puberty tee. Although she had a pure and tender heart, she was fascinated by the character of the villainous young lady and tended to treat herself as an evil person. It was the influence of empathy and sensibility that easily empathizes with plays and novels from an early age.

 

It was something the maid was used to. She passed without a reply.

 

At that time, the maid spotted a man and an escort approaching Keridna.

 

“You are here.”

 

“Huh… !”

 

Keridna jumped to her feet and stiffened.

 

A beating heart. Keridna blushed as she recalled the handsome male character who took care of the villainous girl she had only seen in plays.

 

The first person to say hello was the maid.

 

“You worked hard coming from Byance.”

 

“Hi-Hi… ! no!”

 

Keridna’s eyes, sparkling with anticipation, creaked.

 

And Keridna, who sees the aristocratic spirit approaching her, with both eyes.

 

“this this! Nice to meet you, daughter of the Whitecloak family! My name is Helisse of the Duke of St. Rio!”

 

Chaaak.

 

Keridna’s eyes cooled as if she had been splashed with cold water.

 

The man approaching her was a clumsy little boy, shorter than Keridna, with only a shiny outfit on. Kya-kya, the innocent smile seemed frivolous.

 

Of course, as rumored, she had a beautiful appearance, but… , even though he was young, he looked too young. Even if he was far from the handsome appearance that Keridna wanted, he was far away.

 

“Oh, welcome… , Lord Helise. Excuse me, but if you’re older… ?”

 

“I’m 13 years old this year!”

 

Keridna groaned and staggered.

 

Keridna reached out to the table.

 

This was unexpected.

 

“Miss Keridna?”

 

“What I hoped for wasn’t a kid like that… .”

 

“yes?”

 

“What I wanted was a handsome man who was like a reliable beast and at times like the refreshing flavor of tea from Sigur… !”

 

Keridna lowered her head and muttered in a low, sad voice. Her pink hair cascaded down, hiding her disappointed face.

 

Parental instructions to get engaged felt like coercion. I lamented the fact that I had to review my engagement to that boy in a positive way.

 

The engagement candidate boy, Helisse, didn’t know Keridna’s feelings and just smiled. It was because living in a good environment and being supported every day, I was overflowing with confidence in everything.

 

“Why is that, my dear?”

 

“Ugh… !”

 

The little boy’s words made her feel terrified, and Keridna wanted to cough up blood.

 

“Lady Keridna… .”

 

“This isn’t it, this isn’t really… . what to refuse… ?”

 

“Even if you ask me… .”

 

If you think about your family, you shouldn’t have fallen out with Helisse.

 

Keridna asked for help from the maid in a low voice, feeling like she was grasping for a straw, but all she got back was a helpless answer.

 

That moment.

 

[Kaaa!]

 

The roar of the ferocious beast rang in everyone’s ears.

 

Keridna’s eyes widened. She raised her head.

 

This roar… I had only heard of it a few months ago.

 

A gale came. Helise, a boy from the St. Rio family, shouted “What, what?!” and shuddered in fear, while the guards guarded him in unison.

 

White jade magic spread like white snow, and a huge white dragon descended and landed in the garden of the White Clark family.

 

“That… ?”

 

It was the white dragon in mythology, Ice and Snow Dragon-Heeld.

 

The servants of the White Clark family said, “White Dragon… ”I was very surprised.

 

The guards of the St. Rio family showed strong vigilance.

 

A 13-year-old boy, Hellise, was overwhelmed by the majesty of the white dragon and said, “Mom… .” and cried.

 

The white dragon put its head to the ground, and the blue-silver-haired man riding on top of the white dragon inadvertently descended. He went straight to Keridna.

 

He wasn’t dressed like an aristocrat, nor was he well-groomed, but he had the ideal male figure that Keridna had seen in the play.

 

however… To Keridna, that man was only seen as an object of fear, not an object of love.

 

“hmm?”

 

Isaac, the blue-silver haired man, stopped in front of the pavilion.

 

Guards guarding themselves.

 

Astonished users.

 

A frightened young aristocratic boy hiding behind the guards.

 

Similarly, Keridna showed a sense of fear.

 

“Was it the timing I shouldn’t have come?”

 

“Why do you… ?”

 

Keridna felt like fainting.

Wonwang meeting.

 

After the “Alice Subjugation Battle” was over, the place invited by Zaul Dragoniac.

 

To this end, I came to meet Achel White-Clark of the Duke of White-Clark.

 

As soon as I arrived, I saw Kerid and White Clark, my classmates, so I went to see her first, but it didn’t seem like the right timing.

 

Keridna values networking, but she wasn’t close with me. I don’t remember ever mixing the words properly.

 

‘But it’s not like they’re mutually motivated.’

 

I decided it would be better to pretend to be happy.

 

Ice and Snow Dragon – Hild is in reverse summoned state. This guy had come aboard after discussing correspondence with Achel White-Clark.

 

Since the Duchy of White Clark in the north is too far away and covers a large area, it was necessary to be certain that there would be no problems with Achel.

 

The last time I went to Dupendorf, I had to cross the border, I had to preserve the dignity of the original king, and I refrained from boarding Hild because I didn’t want to make the mistake of crossing the imperial airspace at will.

 

Certainly, planes rather than wagons were more efficient in terms of time savings.

 

“Tea, I brought tea… .”

 

“Oh, thank you… , Why are you serving tea?”

 

“I thought it was polite… .”

 

drawing room.

 

I was sitting on the couch waiting for Rachel. For some reason, Keridna served a steaming tea.

 

As if she had become a maid, she put her hands together and stood there restlessly, which made me uncomfortable.

 

“Why are you talking respectfully? It is our motive.”

 

“Hey, this isn’t an academy… .”

 

Strictly speaking, each of us belonged to a different country, so there was no high or low status.

 

Keridna was just afraid of me.

 

“What is he saying now. You’re not bowing down to me If it’s a problem between us, there’s nothing other than that we weren’t close.”

 

“Well, I have shame too… ! During last year’s end-of-semester evaluation, I spat out such vile words… .”

 

I met Keridna for the first time last year during the final evaluation of the first semester of the first year.

 

Then he found me on the roof of a tall building and yelled something.

 

I didn’t hear anything, so I ignored it, but Keridna seemed to think she hated me anyway.

 

“I didn’t hear you, so don’t worry.”

 

“I hoped, but I couldn’t hear… !”

 

I realized that after over a year. It’s too late to be heartbroken.

 

“Rather than that, what about Sir Achel?”

 

“Oh, I will come soon. I was out for a while. When I told him that Mr. Isaac was here, he told me through his familiar that he would come right away.”

 

“Yeah, um… .”

 

It’s my motivation, but it’s very uncomfortable to use honorific words.

 

“… You really don’t use honorifics. It’s just uncomfortable and I feel guilty for nothing.”

 

“How dare someone like me tell the King Won… .”

 

“… … .”

 

It’s really inconvenient.

 

What should I do?

 

ah.

 

“Then well, I’ll write honorifics too.”

 

“… … !”

 

As if hearing a shocking remark, Keridna was shocked. Her complexion turned white.

 

I calmly took a sip of the tea.
