Chapter 83
Warning from the Noble Lady that had been deceived
“ughhhh……….”
“This eyesore…………”
The very next day, in our classroom.
Surrounded by a bunch of concerned looking girls was the figure of Wilhelm, having a friendly chat with them all.
No no, seriously, I definitely broke his left leg during the practical exam.
Then, his bone should still be fractured so, I don’t see how he’d be in any condition to come to the academy but………..ah
“”””…………………………””””
Uwaahh..…..all the girls surrounding Wilhelm were all glaring at me though.
Or rather, why were these girls so devoted to Wilhelm I wonder?
I mean, yes, in terms of looks he’s probably no.1 or 2 in the whole class…..no, maybe the entire academy even but, his actual personality is the absolute worst.
Also, I’m sure most of these noble girls also have their own fiancés already so if they keep fawning over some other guy, they might have their engagements broken and suffer the same, well maybe not the same, but still a horrible fate like Robin and get sent to some monastery to be a nun or something.
While I was pondering such things.
“………..Does Prince Rudolf really feel no guilt at all?”
“Seriously, he used such an underhanded tactic. He could at least do the bare minimum and give a word of apology or something.”
Eeeeh…….Why do I have to deal with such slander first thing in the morning?
Even though it was Wilhelm who stepped on my foot first.
It was then.
“Taking the side of a man like that, you girls really have some sickening hobbies huh.”
“”””!!””””
Ooh, now Liz was instigating the noble girls.
Liz, almost always gave off a very cold impression to everyone other than me so, I’m sure the noble girls will be frozen to the spot again……..no, I guess it’ll be a bit different this time around.
Because right now, all the girls were clearly seething with anger judging from their reddened faces.
I guess Liz was intentionally not releasing the same kind of pressure that she always did.
But still………this is all very unlike Liz to act this way.
Normally, she’d just fire her absolute zero glare and instantly silence them and then move on.
Then, just why exactly was she so intentionally picking a fight with these other noble girls I wonder……..well, it’s fine I guess.
I’ll just trust Liz with whatever she’s planning.
“Lady Lizbeth……..your words just now are bit much, don’t you think?”
The heroic girl that stepped forward to face Liz was Christel Svensson, the daughter of Earl Svensson.
“Oh, why is that? Did you already forget how that man embarrassed himself in front of everyone after facing Lord Rudy during the practical exams?”
“!! That’s exactly the problem! Prince Rudolf clearly used an underhanded tactic to win that match! Such a match should never even count!”
Hearing Liz’s words, Christel quickly stabbed back, clearly infuriated.
And hearing all that quietly, Wilhelm was also nodding as in agreement.
But, that alone was still not satisfactory enough for that guy it seems.
“Lady Christel………regardless of how the result was achieved, a loss is a loss. I will fully accept the result of the match.”
“Wha–you mustn’t! Lord Wilhelm, you are the one who should have been victorious! Such unreasonable results shouldn’t be allowed to stand!”
Seeing Wilhelm shake his head in an exaggerated manner, Christel instantly followed up to his act. Seriously, what farce even is this.
And then.
“fufu……..”
“……….What’s so funny?”
“How strange. On a real battlefield, excuses like [He stepped on my foot] or [He used an underhanded method, this should be my win!] would be nothing more than an utter embarrassment. Not only that, it would also lead to certain death as well.”
“!?!”
As expected of the daughter of the Fahlcrantz family. It was as if she was always on a real battlefield.
“Su-such violent nonsense is not relevant to noble’s like us………..no, especially to Lord Wilhelm who was both a Duke as well as an Imperial!”
“You really think so?………..Then there’s no point even talking any further.”
Liz frowned and shook he head.
As Liz said, this wasn’t even worth arguing about at this point.
If the worst comes to pass and the Empire goes to war, we will also need to fight on the frontlines to protect our homeland.
Of course, there is always the choice to leave it all to others and hide somewhere in seclusion like a coward but once the war is over, that person would definitely lose both their status and honour in society.
To be an imperial, means you hold responsibility far greater than even any of the nobles in the Empire.
And Wilhelm too was an Imperial, while also being from a Duke household.
“Then, let us judge him not as warrior on the battlefield but as a deserter instead. Ohh……..Do you perhaps wish for him to have [Coward] as a nickname instead?”
“Lady Lizbeth!!”
Christel seemed to snap in anger as she instantly drew closer to Liz.
But still……..why was this Christel so vehemently supporting Wilhelm anyway?
Even if she was smitten with that man, she’d still know that trying to go against someone like Liz who was levels above the likes of her, was tantamount to suicide and nothing more.
“You still don’t get it do you? I am, saying this as warning to you girls,……and to you specifically. Do not get fooled by this scumbag of conman.”
It was precisely because he had sullied her memories of that day, that Liz simply couldn’t bear to witness other girls fall prey to his trickery as well, I guess.
Even though she’s often so cold towards others, in reality she was showing concern for them and nothing more.
Seriously, my beloved fiancée is so awkward, yet so kind…….
“Think carefully, the man you choose should, at the very least, not be a man like him.”
“…………………….”
Her aquamarine eyes trapped Christel and refused to let go.
Within her cold pale blue eyes, there was nothing but deep kindness and nothing more.
I wonder if she was able to feel that too.
As Christel stopped herself and decided to not argue any further with Liz.
“Lord Rudy, forgive me for wasting time doing something so unnecessary.”
“No need. If anything, I have never felt more proud to have a lady like you as my fiancée.”
“Ah……..fufu, you really are the one and only for me. You alone, can always see the real me, my one true love.”
Liz’s eyes, now reflected only me, as she smiled gently.
Of course, there was no sign of someone like Wilhelm in those eyes.
