Chapter 56:

After a number of days of being absent, Philip returned to the academy and was promptly summoned by the Senior Professor.

Stunned, Philip entered the senior professor’s workplace, anticipating to seek out solely Emil Phanoy, however to his astonishment, there have been further visitors current.

“Welcome. Oswald, my previous buddy. Have you ever been having fun with your day off? I known as you right here as a result of we’ve got some guests. Haha.”

The Senior Professor’s expression confirmed no trace of blame or reproach in direction of Philip. There was a transparent and earnest hope that Philip might help with the visitors who had come to see him.

Taking within the sight of the visitors, Philip nodded confidently.

“Properly, um, how did the Sixth Prince and the Princess find yourself right here?”

Seated on the couch in Phanoy’s workplace had been the strikingly good-looking Sixth Prince and a younger Princess with a mysterious expression. Their eyes had been fixated on Philip.

“Ah, Philip, you’re right here. It’s good to see you once more beneath these circumstances.”

Prince Alessios, a younger man three years Philip’s senior, spoke warmly. Very like nearly all of royals, he was already married and devoted to serving within the Kingdom’s knighthood, prioritizing his dedication to the nation over looking for private dominion.

Philip respectfully nodded in acknowledgment to the royal visitors. The prince reciprocated the gesture, lifting his hand to acknowledge Philip’s greeting earlier than talking with a genial smile.

“We’ve come right here for a particular motive. You see, my pricey little stepsister has simply joined the ranks of Privia Academy’s college students at present, and I discover myself eager to make a sure request of you.”

“Pardon me?”

Philip’s eyes widened barely, stunned by the sudden nature of the request.

Philip discovered it difficult to think about himself on acquainted phrases with Prince Alessios.

Just a few days prior, Philip had been too injured to interact in dialogue following Rely Eloy’s demise, and Prince Alessios was busy dealing with the aftermath, so he hadn’t had the chance to converse both.

“Is that this your doing?”

“It seems so.”

“Exceptional, actually. You’ve turn out to be a hero in our midst, Teacher Oswald! Please, take care of my little sister.”

That encompassed the whole thing of the dialog between Philip and the prince. Philip felt assured that there was no discernible hyperlink that might have led to such a gathering.

“Given the succesful teacher that you’re, working right here on the academy, I believed you’d be greater than outfitted to information and educate my dearest sibling.”

“However wasn’t it a longstanding custom for the Calaria royals to abstain from enrolling at Privia Academy?”

In response to Philip’s question, the Prince chuckled amiably, and he gestured in dismissal.

“That’s to stop factions from forming. In reality, it’s not a narrative that applies to royal relations like us, who’re distant from the succession. We’ve already sought permission from His Majesty and the Headmaster, and her admission has been determined within the type of a switch.”

Based on his phrases, there appeared to be no motive to go to Philip. The prince’s expression grew to become barely extra critical, as if he additionally sensed Philip’s doubts.

“I’ve discovered lots from this incident. Let’s simply say that even the royal palace is just not a really protected place at this level when it’s revealed that the Rely of the West signed a contract with the demons. In my judgment, you certainly knew one thing. You had been the calmest particular person there.”

Philip felt that Prince Alessios wasn’t an strange particular person. As a way of warning shrouded Philip’s gaze, the prince chuckled and put his arm across the shoulder of the quiet princess sitting beside him.

“Don’t misunderstand. I’ve no intention of extracting info from you or gaining any benefit by means of you. I solely have one motivation – to make sure my youthful sibling stays protected. That’s why I’ve come to seek out you.”

“….”

Philip couldn’t decide if the Prince’s phrases had been honest. He was sure solely that the Prince’s ideas had been appropriate, and he had no grounds to refuse.

“I’ll be temporary.”The unique look of this chapter could be discovered at Ñøv€lß1n.

Because the environment grew tense, the Senior Professor quietly left his seat. In any case, if he wished, he might listen in on their dialog from dozens of footsteps away.

With the professor out of the best way, Philip spoke up.

“… Are you saying that the Academy, guarded by tons of of knights, is safer than the palace? How can I consider that?”

Prince Alessios checked out Philip and smiled knowingly.

“I’ve a eager instinct, Sage. And also you’ve already gained my belief. When the resurrected Rely Eloy focused my sibling, solely you reacted. It’s a response that may’t occur with out early considerations for Camilla’s well-being.”

Quickly after arriving on the mansion, Philip took Camila to Lua’s room. He supposed for Camila to share a room with Lua whereas her baggage and her maid got here right here from her palace.

It was an occasion that confirmed no respect for princess, however Camilla didn’t appear too dissatisfied.

She seemed across the fantastically embellished pink room with awe.

“Your room in palace should be higher. Do you prefer it right here?”

“…Sure. My room isn’t this beautiful.”

“As soon as your room is prepared, you may enhance it as you please.”

Camilla chuckled softly at Philip’s phrases. She remembered the dialog she had with Prince Alessios earlier than he left the academy.

“With the Western Rely become a demon, there are hardly any reliable nobles left on this planet. I might have entrusted you to a different noble, however I selected him. Not less than till you graduate from the academy, you’ll be beneath his safety.”

She couldn’t fathom why her brother made such a selection and resolution. Camilla nonetheless hadn’t sensed something significantly particular about Philip.

There have been expert knights within the Royal Guards, and knights able to going through demons alone had been uncommon even amongst Aurum Knights or Silver Knights.

The label of being an excellent particular person appeared correct. Whereas the best way she, a princess, was being checked out like a neighborhood baby was barely disrespectful, it was higher than being seen as a prize.

“Lessons begin tomorrow, so when Lua comes, let’s exit collectively and purchase what we want. You signed up for swordsmanship classes, proper? You’ll have to get a coaching sword.”

“Sure, thanks.”

An ungainly environment settled in. Since this was solely their second assembly, it was comprehensible that they felt a bit awkward being out of the blue known as siblings.

Philip exchanged a couple of phrases to ease Camilla’s rigidity.

Luckily, Lua returned quickly after.

“Teacher, I’m right here.”

Recently, she hadn’t been coming house alone. She had been spending time with first-year college students like Hailey, Olivia, and Janice, and likewise bonding with members of the Journey Membership. So, she all the time returned with somebody.

As we speak, Janice Morella was the one chosen by Lua.

“Hey, Teacher.”

“Yeah. Hey. You’ve been coming right here very often nowadays.”

Janice, who was enchanted by Lua’s cuteness, had turn out to be virtually like a sister to her currently. It was evident from the best way they linked arms.

“However who is that this? I really feel like I’ve seen her someplace earlier than.”

All of a sudden, upon noticing Camilla, Janice Morella requested. She even tilted her head whereas asking.

‘… I’m positive I’ve seen her someplace earlier than.’

Camilla, who had been smiling awkwardly, lastly spoke up.

“Hey. Morella Yeong-ae. I keep in mind assembly you throughout my late father’s birthday celebration.”

{TN:- “Yeong-ae” is a Korean title that may be translated to “Elegant” or “Sleek” in English. It’s typically used as a given title for ladies and carries a optimistic and refined connotation.}

Upon listening to these phrases, a drop of chilly sweat trickled down Janice’s brow. One thing about Camilla’s tone and demeanor triggered a reminiscence.

“Excuse me, however is your father’s title by any probability…?”

Cautioningly, Janice requested, and Camilla answered with a teasing smile.

“My father’s title is Velopair Elseus Calaria Jr.”

“No means.”

Startled, Janice needed to cover behind Lua.

“… Are you a princess?”
