Quantity 10, Prologue

Half 1

A person’s fist swung down on the desk.

“No good. No good. No means I’m going to just accept these folks!”

Within the classroom, dyed purple by the night solar shining by means of the window, I [Leon Fou Bartfalt] was sitting subsequent to an indignant male pupil.

Amazed by the joy of the male pupil, I soothe him with an unmotivated angle.

“Don’t be so offended”

Nonetheless, he doesn’t admit that he’s emotional.

“I’m not offended”

The male pupil [Finn Ruta Herring] turns his head away from me in frustration, crosses his arms, and falls silent.

Brown-skinned and tall, Herring is a wonderful man with a well-defined face.

He has lengthy silver hair that’s tied behind his neck and purple eyes, giving him a conspicuous look.

He isn’t from the Kingdom of Horfalt, however from a international nation, the Holy Magic Empire Voldenova.

He was very fashionable among the many women as a mysterious good-looking man due to his totally different facial options from the dominion, a wonderful man from one other nation.

However regardless of how a lot noise the ladies round him make, Herring by no means turns round.

As a result of Herring cares about one lady pupil.

With the intention to defend the feminine pupil, he even took benefit of a system that has existed within the empire for a very long time, and adopted her to check within the Kingdom of Horfalt.

The title of the feminine pupil is a petite and lively lady known as [Mia], who got here to check on the academy of the Kingdom of Horfalt this yr.

She was the protagonist of the third work of that Otome sport.

As for what Herring is doing to guard Mia――.

“Usually talking, none of them are worthy of Mia.”

――Whereas wanting on the images lined up on the desk, the protagonist’s seize targets are being evaluated as a possible lover.

The person, Herring, had no romantic emotions for the protagonist.

And but, he’s so critical about Mia-chan’s lover candidate to the purpose that he’s scary.

I choose up one of many images.

The picture is His Highness Jake ―― [Jake Rafa Horfalt] is the second prince of the Kingdom of Horfalt and the person closest to being the crown prince for the time being.

I have a look at the image of Jake, who appears to be like small however cocky, and I set free a small sigh and place it in entrance of Herring’s eyes.

“It appears that evidently Jake is handled as the primary character in that Otome sport. Why don’t you simply choose him?”

Not ok

After I inform him to compromise with Jake, Herring squints and evaluates him harshly.

“This man remains to be a prince, despite the fact that the place of Crown Prince is vacant, isn’t he? Moreover, this man is just too formidable. If Mia will get along with somebody who fights with everybody round him, she’ll have a tough time, so no”

In Herring’s thoughts, it appears that evidently His Highness Jake is just not worthy of Mia-chan.

I present the following picture to Herring.

“Then what about [Oscar Fia Hogan]?”

Purple-haired and well-built, Oscar is a bit ―― no, a reasonably large idiot, however he’s an excellent man at coronary heart.

I believed he had extra potential than Jake, however Herring reduce him off simply.

“This man is in the identical class as Mia, however he’s fairly an fool. I don’t imply to counsel that he’s a wise man, however he doesn’t deserve Mia, as a result of he can’t defend her. Moreover, he’s relationship your huge sister, isn’t he”

――Oscar.

The Bartfalt household now had a giant bomb because of this man.

When he first entered the varsity, Oscar acquired alongside nicely with my little sister [Finley], however then I discovered that he was getting alongside nicely with my huge sister [Jenna].

Within the first place, he was by no means formally relationship Finley.

There can be no drawback if he began relationship Jenna, however they’re sisters there.

――The connection between Finley and Jenna, who’ve at all times been shut as sisters, has immediately cooled down.

Whereas Finley was feeling imprecise, Jenna went round bragging about getting her long-awaited boyfriend, which led to a giant struggle.

Finley, with out realizing it, will need to have begun to concentrate on Oscar as a member of the other intercourse. Nonetheless, Jenna snatched him away from her from the facet.

――What are the sisters doing?

That’s the reason it was Oscar who did the deed that set the powder keg on hearth.

I don’t assume Oskar was flawed, however I nonetheless complained to him as a member of the family of these two.

Nonetheless, fool is robust.

He laughs at sarcasm and cynicism and takes it positively, so it didn’t work on him in any respect.

“I suppose he’s no good?”

“Don’t attempt to push somebody who has a girlfriend.”

“That stated, there’s virtually just one left. ——and Aaron has turn out to be a lady.”

One of many seize targets was a male pupil named [Aaron].

The rationale it’s previously tense is as a result of he underwent a intercourse change and have become a lady.

I by no means thought this might occur both.

Herring pulls his physique barely away from me, his cheeks drawn again.

“It was you guys who made him a lady.”

I couldn’t preserve quiet once I was lumped in with ‘you guys’.

“It wasn’t me. It was [Marie] and [Creare] who did it! Proper, [Luxion]?”

After I flip round round my proper shoulder, a metallic-colored sphere floating there ―― Luxion, I ask him to agree with me.

Luxion’s purple lens was pointed at [Brave] floating close to Herring.

Courageous ―― it’s the core of a weapon known as a demonic armor created by the brand new people, and it’s a being that gives help to Herring who acknowledge him as his grasp.

They’re enemies of Luxion, which was created by the previous people.

[――However, no matter how many times we explain the situation to them, they still don’t understand, probably because they are using demonic armor. Or, in human terms, “repugnant,” I guess? The continued use of the relics of the new humans is a symptom of the damage that has been done to Herring. I think you should stop using demonic armor right now.]

He agrees with me, however spits poisonous phrases at Herring and his buddy Courageous.

It was the identical for Courageous.

Flesh eyes with purple eyes on a black sphere and just a little creepy Courageous pointed at us with a small hand popping out of his physique.

[How dare you said bad things about my partner!]

[What were you listening to? I said that to you too.]

[This guy pisses me ooooff!]

Luxion appears to be like on the raging Courageous with chilly eyes.

They’re mutual enemies and cuss one another after they open their mouths.

Ignoring these companions, Herring set free a small sigh at me.

“Mia’s place may be very unsure.”

“――Is that otome sport setting?”

“Sure. Mia, who grew up a commoner, is the emperor’s illegitimate daughter and princess.”

“It’s a typical setting in video video games to say that they had been really superior. It’s a setting that each girls and boys adore.”

“It’s not that straightforward.”

Herring’s expression was darkish.

“Due to her standing as a princess, Mia is caught up in a battle for the succession.”

“Haa? Why?”

Mia, the protagonist of that Otome sport, is within the place of being the illegitimate daughter of the emperor, though she doesn’t comprehend it but.

She was raised as a commoner, but she is the Princess of the Holy Magic Empire of Voldenowa.

Nonetheless, the daddy, His Majesty the Emperor, is getting previous, and it appears that evidently a battle for succession has begun.

With a considerate look on his face, Herring begins to state his necessities for the person who will likely be Mia’s lover.

“Mia has little interest in the throne, both. But it surely doesn’t matter what she needs. There are lots of royal relations who assume it will be troublesome if Mia was carried round.”

“No offense, however isn’t it arduous for Mia-chan to turn out to be emperor? She doesn’t even know she’s royalty, does she?”

“Many royalty assume it’s simpler to eradicate them if there’s a chance that they’ll get in the way in which. So, love alone is just not sufficient. Mia’s lover have to be a person who has the power to repel any enemies.”

Herring’s eyes had been really critical as he gazed down on the images lined up on the desk.

We had been selecting potential lovers for Mia-chan.

Nonetheless.

“That’s not a situation anybody needs on the lover’s stage.”

Muttering a bitter giggle, Herring swung his fist down on the desk.

DANG! A loud sound echoed by means of the classroom.

“No means a person who is just not decided to take action must be allowed to get his palms on Mia!”

“O-Oh”

In terms of being ready to guard Mia-chan from a messy succession battle, it isn’t sufficient to easily be highly effective.

Energy, wealth, and household background are additionally concerned.

“It might have been potential if Jake hadn’t been so enamored with Aare-chan.”

He’s the second prince of the Kingdom of Horfalt and the primary hero of that third Otome sport.

Jake had different issues apart from his ambition.

It’s Aaron ―― [Aare]-chan.

The gender change was carried out by Marie and Creare, and Aaron grew to become a lady.

The nickname is sarcastically the identical as Creare’s, which is Aare.

The look on Herring’s face went from critical to indescribable a second in the past.

“What and why occurs that the seize goal turns into a lady?”

It’s a pure query for Herring, nevertheless it’s the identical for me.

“It’s not for me to resolve. But when these three are not any good, then he’s the one one left.”

In the intervening time, the title of the boy who’s the final seize goal is [Ethan Fou Robson].

He’s a sort man with droopy eyes, however I seen that he appears to be like like he has a foul persona within the images Luxion had ready.

When Herring picks up the picture and appears at it, his expression is tough, as if he doesn’t prefer it.

“I don’t know a lot about this boy. However he doesn’t look very robust from what I’ve seen within the pics.”

Upon listening to these phrases, Luxion studies again with extra particulars about Robson.

[About Ethan, he has pushed his own brother aside and is the heir to the Count’s family. He is not only good with magic, but also with the sword. After all, he is one of the best swordsmen in the kingdom of Horfalt.]

After I heard that, I considered Brad and Chris’s faces.

Ethan’s hair coloration is sort of purple, and the way can I say――.

“――It’s like a hybrid of Brad and Chris.”

He is a superb swordsman, expert with magic, and he’s the inheritor to a noble household of lords.

He’s beginning to appear like a flexible character who can do something.

[As Master said. Ethan, as Finn says, has the family background, wealth, and outstanding ability. Based on specs alone, I would say that he is Mia’s candidate for a lover at the moment. ――In the first place, all the other candidates are out of the question.]

Robson was the probably candidate, not as a result of he was notably excellent, however as a result of he was the one one left consequently.

I flip my gaze to Herring.

“Let’s simply attempt to attain out to this man, we could?”

Herring seemed sharply at Robson’s image.

“Let’s do this. I’ll do a radical search to see if that is the suitable man for Mia.”

“You’re overprotective.”

I set free a small sigh of exasperation, and Courageous agrees.

“My buddy’s eyes change on the subject of Mia. I’m beginning to really feel sorry for all the ladies who fell in love with my buddy. “

It appears that evidently the women are coming to ladykiller-sama and he doesn’t appear to need to take care of them.

“I envy you”

As an alternative of Herring wanting on the photos severely, Courageous appears to be the one to take care of me.

[But you have a lot of women around you, too, don’t you? You have protagonist and the villainess of the first work, according to my buddy. And the protagonist of the second one, too. Are you possibly after them?]

Courageous checked out me with suspicion, questioning if I used to be aiming for a principal character in that otome sport.

I smile vaguely and canopy it up.

“Do you consider in miracles? It’s only a coincidence.”

For the second time in my life, my widespread interval has come.

The timing of the occasion appeared to be uncharacteristically good, and the following factor I knew, I had three fiancées.

That’s too good for me.

[You’re engaged to the protagonist and the antagonist by accident, coincidentally and deliberately? Actually, you aimed for them, didn’t you? Just tell me. Isn’t it fine?]

“You’re funnier than I believed.”

Whereas speaking to Courageous, Luxion interrupts considerably forcefully.

[Master, it is pointless to discuss this any further. Let’s leave Ethan’s case to Finn and the others and return to the dormitory.]

He acquired between me and Courageous and forcefully ended the dialog.

“I suppose so. I’d higher get again. Hering’s gonna be again, proper? ―― You continue to wanting it?”

As I acquired up from my seat, Herring was nonetheless taking a look at Robson’s image with a critical expression on his face.

“――I don’t like him as a result of he appears to be like like he has a foul persona. Do you actually assume he deserves Mia?”

Seeing him obtrusive at me as if I had been an enemy, I hate to foretell that Mia’s seek for a lover will likely be a tough one.

“It would reasonably be faster to usher in a man you approve of.”

Half 2

The Duke Redgrave household.

As a department of the Horfalt royal household, it’s a nice aristocrat who helps the nation.

The Duke Redgrave, whose territory included a big floating island worthy of a Duke, had extra energy than a poor small nation.

The Duke Redgrave, equivalent to they’re, even have a big mansion within the Royal Capital.

It is because both [Vince], the pinnacle of the household, or [Gilbert], the eldest son, at all times stays to help the dominion of Horfalt.

Different influential lord nobles had mansions within the royal capital and had been ready to work for the dominion of Horfalt in case of emergency.

―― However that scenario has been altering lately.

Referred to as to the mansion, [Angelica Rafa Redgrave] had lengthy, shiny blonde hair braided and curled behind her head.

Along with the sharp eyes, her purple eyes present the self-control.

Ange often appears to be like dignified, however as we speak, her expression was not so good.

Though she had simply returned to the Redgrave household mansion within the royal capital, she was standing in entrance of her personal brother, Gilbert, wanting considerably nervous.

Gilbert, at his desk in his workplace, was conversing with Ange as he labored on paperwork.

Gilbert appears to be like down on the doc, operating his pen over it and signing it.

“I see you probably did an ideal job throughout the riots. As a brother, I’m happy with you.”

A riot within the royal capital that occurred some time in the past.

It’s a case the place the Holy Kingdom of Rashel went behind the scenes to rally the rebels residing in hiding within the royal capital.

Happily, it was subdued with minimal injury by the palms of Leon, who acquired critical.

Angel tried to not let Gilbert see the bitter look on her face by turning her head down.

“I’m not doing something. All credit score goes to Leon.”

“I wager. So I’m happy with him as my brother-in-law. I by no means thought that he would rise to the rank of duke in a single era. I suppose His Majesty’s capriciousness is troubling.”

Gilbert responds with a smile, nevertheless it comprises his dissatisfaction with Ange.

Ange additionally really feel it.

“Leon is dissatisfied.”

“Leon-kun is reluctant to rise within the ranks.”

To a 3rd get together, it will seem as if she had been making small discuss along with her brother.

Nonetheless, Ange was impatient inwardly.

(Wouldn’t folks assume that Leon is taking the facet of the Kingdom?)

She was involved about whether or not the Redgrave household was sad with Leon for placing down the riots within the royal capital.

―― Presently, a deep rift is creating between the Redgrave household and the royal household.

It started with Angelica’s damaged engagement, and was because of the present state of dissatisfaction among the many nobles towards the royal household.

The previous Principality Fan’ous. Within the battle with the present Duke Fan’ous, the Kingdom of Horfalt has misplaced its trump card, the royal ship.

The lack of the legendary airship that had been the driving power behind the founding of the dominion meant that the dominion had misplaced a substantial amount of navy energy.

Within the Horfalt kingdom with its feudal system, a decline in navy energy would give the noble lords a possibility to benefit from the scenario.

Royalty with out energy is just not obeyed by the nobles ―― particularly the lord nobles.

The identical was true for the Duke Redgrave, which was speculated to be a department household.

The Duke Redgrave has already given up on the Kingdom of Horfalt.

Gilbert stops his pen and locations it on the desk and appears at Ange’s face, which is downcast.

However his gaze was sharp.

“Because of this, this case ended conveniently for us. We have now utterly taken management of the royal capital with only one particular person. It proves that the royal capital could be simply obtained with simply Leon alone.”

With Leon alone, the royal capital can simply fall.

That has been proved by the riots.

Gilbert by no means complained concerning the outcomes, nevertheless it was totally different for Ange.

“However you didn’t know precisely what Leon was able to. Had you recognized prematurely, we might have been capable of transfer extra successfully.”

“That’s!”

When she tried to argue, Gilbert raised his hand to cease Ange from talking.

“Don’t make excuses. Are you actually trusted by him?”

Gilbert’s suspicious look was arduous on Ange.

It’s not that her brother suspected her.

Angel clenches her palms and bites her lip.

“I’m ―― so sorry”

(Am I ―― unfit of Leon?)

Gilbert appears to be like on the pissed off Ange, after which he tells her one thing that may push her even additional right here.

“Since you will be husband and spouse, it’s best to have a extra trusting relationship with one another. By the way in which, I heard that Leon has been visiting the royal palace quite a bit recently. ――I heard a rumor that he’s loopy about Princess Erika, however it isn’t true, is it? “

Princess of the Kingdom of Horfalt, [Erika Rafa Horfalt].

To see her, Leon made frequent journeys to the royal palace.

Gilbert offers Ange a chilly stare.

It was as if he was being deliberately chilly with the intention to taunt his sister, Ange.

“A princess after the queen, he appears to have a choice for an unattainable flower. However the issue is that if he actually needs to achieve for it, he can.”

“――Leon is just not actually”

“I don’t count on you to get his true intentions out of him. ――Ange, don’t overlook your position. You’ve been given the duty of conserving Leon-kun on our facet.”

The Duke Redgrave, who had turned in opposition to the Kingdom of Horfalt, had been attempting to make use of Angel to acquire the strongest power within the kingdom, Leon.

Ange couldn’t enable that.

Wanting down, she tells Gilbert.

“I don’t need to contain Leon in any extra battles.”

Maybe not anticipating Angel to object, Gilbert appears to be like at her questioningly.

“Do you actually assume the reign of the Kingdom of Horfalt will proceed? You’ll have to struggle, even when you don’t need to. Moreover, blood have to be spilled, that’s what nobles do.”

Gilbert, who believes that within the occasion of battle, nobles should struggle and that that is pure, appears to be like at Ange with a glance of incomprehension.

“Leon is! ―― He’s is just too light to struggle.”

Too light, Angel informed him in a skinny voice, and he imagined that Leon was mentally exhausted from all of the preventing he’d been by means of.

Gilbert lets out a small sigh.

“Positive he’s smooth hearted, however he’s essentially the most highly effective knight within the kingdom whose title is understood even in different nations. We’d like him to proceed to help the Redgrave household.”

Together with his engagement to Ange, Leon has deep ties to the Redgrave household.

Because of this, he was about to turn out to be concerned within the Redgrave household wrestle as nicely.

(Each my brother and father contemplate Leon solely as a device of battle, don’t they? He ―― simply needs to reside peacefully within the countryside)
