228 – Troubled John Nassen! Work hard!!

“Anyway, he’s someone you really know and don’t know.”

After the storm that Kyle had driven subsided again.

Elgar shook her head as if she couldn’t stop and tilted her glass.

Obviously, it’s not alcohol. If you do, Kyle will tell you something.

Everyone drinks at the banquet, but Elgar decided not to.

“Don’t you think so, Tisha?”

“To be honest, I was really surprised earlier.”

Tisha also shook her head as if she was no different from Elgar.

“With His Majesty the Emperor here, I never thought he would come out like that.”

“Thanks to you, things went well, and it was good for Nell.”

Nell was accused of faking his gender and entering the academy.

The punishment for that crime is to temporarily work as a trainee knight in the Imperial Knights during winter vacation.

The emperor said that he would not be able to rest during the vacation and that he would suffer and punished him.

But no one, not even his party Nell, saw it as punishment.

A apprentice knight of the Imperial Knights? It’s fair to say that this is a huge award.

“In Elgar-sama’s eyes, Kyle seems to have been given a prize for holding on well, right?”

“Does Tisha think so too?”

Maybe Kyle was aiming there, and she may have acted like that a little while ago.

She got her credit, but she didn’t want anything. Same goes for Jon Nassen.

Instead, I hope Kyle will forgive those John Nassen taught.

I conveyed that meaning to the emperor, and the emperor readily accepted it.

“But still, how could I not have said a word.”

Elgar puts on her slightly pouty face and she mumbles that.

I feel sorry for Kyle, and also for Nell, who suffered together.

There must have been a chance to inform them first, but they didn’t.

He could have helped in any way if he had told him.

“Kyle did something rude to Elgar.”

“That’s right. I’m contemplating whether to show off a slightly pouty T-shirt later.”

Having said that, Elgar paused her words for a moment and looked at Tisha.

For some reason, saying that kind of thing gives off a strange feeling.

“Tisha, did you know?”

Then Tisha gives a slightly embarrassed smile.

“Yes. She actually knew. To be precise, I barely noticed it, and Kyle told me about it.”

“But you didn’t tell me either?”

“I’m sorry. But Kyle asked me to keep it a secret.”

For a moment, Elgar’s eyes narrowed slightly.

I’m not mad at Tishana for not telling her, or Kyle for telling me to keep her secret.

It’s not like that, but I was confident that I had the best brain.

It bothered her that Tisha noticed something that even she didn’t notice.

In fact, it’s because she doesn’t show off, Elgar was wary of Tisha.

The princess and the saint are formidable enemies. She has no idea how to win.

But there was a clear singularity between the two. I had the confidence to overcome it somehow.

Above all, both the princess and the saint had an atmosphere very different from their own.

Elgar thought that the difference was enough to account for one share.

‘On the contrary, Tisha and I have a lot in common.’

It’s different from the princess who pushes ahead and the saint who hugs and sees.

Both herself and Tisha are the ones who first notice and think first.

Draw the situation, find the best path, and move on when it is decided.

As a result, a structure in which the porridge matches well and also competes strangely has been created.

To the extent that losing to each other is more heartbreaking than losing to two other women.

“Here you are. Tisha, Miss Elga.”

Just in time, Kyle appeared after finishing her talk with the others.

‘They called me first.’

‘They will call me later.’

I was thinking about that part almost at the same time.

This is why even though they have different statuses and strengths, there is no choice but to create a strange competitive structure.

“… Kyle.”

“Yes, Mr. Elga.”

“I think the music will change soon, why don’t you go and dance?”

“A dance?”

Kyle scratches his cheek at Elgar’s slightly sudden suggestion.

“That, I don’t have much confidence in dancing yet….”

It’s a lie. When it comes to body work, John Nassen is not far behind.

It is said that dancing can be a little different, but in the end, it is something you do with your body.

With only a few practice sessions, Kyle could do all the dances of nobles.

Still, the reason why he took it out once, saying he was not confident.

‘I’ve noticed.’

Right now, right next to Elgar, Tisha is quietly looking at herself.

As if he were really going to accept Elgar’s offer and dance.

And even though she’s not by her side right now, the princess and the saint will see it right away when she dances.

‘I never told you not to step in and give me room.’

Now is just like that. Never go out

If you can’t do it fairly, or if someone isn’t there.

The proper response is to make an excuse somehow to take one step out.

But Elgar was smarter than Kyle thought.

She knows how to shake him in this situation.

“Are you turning down the dance request? If that’s the case, I’m a bit sad.”

I expected a lot, but the expression on my face shows that the expectations are turning into disappointment.

Elgar acted as it was and pricked Kyle’s heart.

What a saintess could never do because her conscience stung her.

The princess said she was what she said and she did what she did.

Elgar was able to do that without incident.

‘Sometimes I have to act like this and touch my weak points gently.’

Kyle’s weak point is that what he had hoped for suddenly ended up ruined.

I can’t see him being disappointed and depressed about it.

She found out about it by chance.

To be precise, even that was a weakness created in relation to exercise.

“No, that… under….”

And as expected by Elgar, Kyle was showing a reaction he couldn’t help.

Going even further, as Elgar stretched her shoulders, her Kyle became serious as well.

‘Wow. Princess, really….’

Looking at that figure, Tisha thought her new Elgar was amazing.

She is the one who became the heir to the Grand Duchy of Litto Rio. She is the next Grand Duke of the Empire.

Who would have imagined that such a woman would turn out that way?

I couldn’t believe it right away, but I ate a proper room as it was.

‘I want to wear it right now, but….’

The problem is that Tisha admits that she can’t dance.

Exactly, it was that she couldn’t keep up because she couldn’t keep up.

It’s not that the body is weak, but it’s not that the physical ability is bad either.

But I didn’t think that being out of sync with the beat would be such a problem.

It is highly likely that Elga also knew Tisha’s weakness and asked Kyle to dance on purpose.

Rather than her intention to make fun of Tisha, it’s something she can’t interfere with anyway.

Because she can feel relieved and appeal to Kyle with her own charm first.

“Can’t you, Kyle? I was looking forward to dancing with you in a place like this.”

“… Well, at least one song would be fine.”

Just then, the princess and the saint were away for a while.

Perhaps because it was her first time at a place like this, she was nervous. When her saintess complained of her discomfort, her princess took her and went out to get some fresh air.

Kyle isn’t completely blind either.

I know that Elgar has a reason for asking me that kind of request at this time.

There are no two girls, and Tisha must have judged that since she can’t dance well, she has no problem.

As the soft meaning of agreement came out, Elgar smiled.

Then, as is always the case in the social world, he gently holds out his hand and makes an offer.

“Then Kyle John Nassen. Would you like to dance a song with me?”

“One song, please. Princess Elgar.”

Just in time for the performance to end and the dancing staff to change.

In the meantime, Elgar grabbed Kyle and walked away very naturally.

In this situation where there is no emperor, no crown prince, and no princess.

There is nothing wrong with being in the center of this huge banquet.

Since it is the next Grand Duke of Littorio, nobles should take this for granted.

“….”

Kyle glanced around.

As he and Elgar stepped into the center, he could feel all the nobles in the table looking this way.

Some of them gave me a slightly jealous look, but most of them showed signs of admiration.

‘Unexpected. I thought the reaction would be very poor. Oh, is it because of Elgar?’

As she thought so, Elgar suddenly burst into laughter at her.

“Mr. Elga?”

“Oh, sorry. Kyle. But it’s written all over your face.”

“What do you mean?”

“You must be wondering why the nobles are giving such friendly eyes.”

At that, Kyle gave her a small nod.

The perception of John Nassen has changed. Admit it.

I also admit that my judgment about myself has changed.

But isn’t that part of the military side, and part of the relationship to the Empire?

It’s strange to greet someone who is so far removed from society like this.

I’d rather understand if I was frightened and frozen.

“Original. The best thing about a place like this is the appearance.”

Elgar held Kyle’s hand a little tighter and clung to him lightly.

You don’t know? Why did the aristocrats react like that?

It’s not just because he’s John Nassen, he’s a man who made the mark.

“You don’t know that well, Kyle. You are nice enough now.”

That’s why I was so greedy that I even tried to dance.

Elgar muttered inwardly and began to move along with her slowly playing music.

As the performance begins, the nobles who took a short break start dancing again.

In the meantime, the center, where Elgar and Kyle are located, creates space by putting a little distance.

It’s as if the main characters on this stage are getting more attention.

“Kyle. Let me ask you something.”

Unlike Kyle, who was very focused, Elgar looked quite relaxed.

To have the leisure to talk like that while constantly moving.

When Kyle conveyed the meaning of asking in silence, Elgar continued her words.

“Looks like we’re done now, shouldn’t we also solve our problems?”

“If it’s our problem.”

“This is the current situation. Me and you, and me and other women.”

It was the moment when the agenda, which had been put off, came out.
