“Aren’t you trying to damage the relationship between me and Delphina?”

“… … .”

I was overcome with a feeling of being at a loss for words at the absurd claim that came out of Prince Antonio’s mouth.

Although there was a part where I couldn’t guess when I ruined the relationship between Delphina and Prince Antonio.

What I focused on was the way he called Delphina, which suddenly jumped out of his mouth.

“Since when did you start calling my sister by her first name?”

“… Great.”

Perhaps embarrassed to explain his relationship with Delfina, Prince Antonio let out a small cough.

“That doesn’t really matter. You and Delfina… If you truly support your relationship with the young lady.”

“As I said before, I think that if it is Prince Antonio, he will be able to make Delphina happy enough.”

“But why the hell are you trying to separate me from Lady Delphina? Are you a romantic who thinks that love is only strengthened by going through a crisis?”

“Could that be? Love without crisis is probably the happiest love.”

“But why!”

Prince Antonio, who raised his voice little by little without realizing it, slammed the table and said,

“Don’t you know how much I’m devoted to her! I honestly told you all my feelings for Lady Delphina because I thought you were mine!”

“… Prince?”

“Already, to me, she is an irreplaceable figure! The moment I thought I had given up on everything in the Demon Forest that day, your sister, who blocked the monster’s attack with flowing platinum hair, took my heart away!”

“Calm down, Prince. Your emotions have been very strong.”

“How the hell am I supposed to calm down!!”

Seeing Prince Antonio blushing and shooting at me made me feel really complicated.

To the point where I immediately wondered if this person was originally a person who showed emotions without adding or subtracting.

The servants were clearly taken aback by seeing Prince Antonio’s appearance for the first time.

As far as I can remember, in his previous life, he was always able to keep his composure and make cool decisions, so he deserved to be a leader.

I didn’t know that just adding a character named Delphina to his life would change him emotionally.

In some ways, it may sound like a lot of money, but she was a younger sister with demonic charm.

“Whoa, whoa… .”

“Fix it, Prince. As I said before, I always support the relationship between Prince Antonio and Delfina.”

“… I’m sorry, I looked ugly.”

“However, in my memory, I do not remember that I did anything to damage the relationship between Prince Antonio and Delfina. So if there is anything wrong with me, would you please explain it to me?”

“… … yes. If you really don’t know, let me tell you just once.”

“Thank you for your generous decision, Prince Antonio.”

Having said that, Prince Antonio sat down quietly and called out the name of a completely unexpected person.

“Wife Reeder.”

“Yeah?”

“You’re the one who introduced Delfina to the freshman elf in the spearmanship, right?”

“Yes, but. What does that have to do with it?”

“The relationship is sleeping, and that elf is the problem itself.”

As I continued to make an expression that I did not know why, Prince Antonio’s words continued.

“That elf is too close to Delphina. … As if they were lovers.”

After saying that, Prince Antonio’s expression became so serious that anyone could feel uneasiness.

“… … Alas, yes.”

I couldn’t hide my feelings at the trivial jealousy that came out of his mouth.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

Since it seemed like I couldn’t believe his words, Prince Antonio continued his explanation busily after that.

Wip of the spearman has been spending more time with Delphina these days.

It is said that he entered the cabinet of the student council, which was left empty due to the vacancy of graduates, and occupied a seat as if it were natural.

And sometimes he says and does things that lovers would do with Delphina. Bringing up such a story and making heated arguments was what Prince Antonio looked like now.

And after listening to Prince Antonio’s argument until the end, I calmly expressed my feelings.

“Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”

To be honest, it was hard to imagine that Delphina would be devoting her time to a relationship, so of course, doubts about infidelity came out of my mouth.

In fact, in a way, one of the words that had the least relation to Delphina was love.

A younger sister would rather spend time reviewing student council documents and embarking on the process of developing a territory than building a romantic relationship.

Above all, considering the reason why Delphina still hasn’t made a fiancé, it was of course a ridiculous speculation that she was dating Wip.

It was Delphina’s terrible personality that she tried to choose even the person who would become her partner considering the interests of Yeongji.

Each person’s values are different, so I wouldn’t deny that personality, but from that point of view, it was completely unreasonable to act as a lover with someone just because they were elves.

No matter how much he thought about it, he had no reason to choose his partner just because he was an elf, ignoring the engagement letters sent by other high-ranking nobles.

“The misunderstanding must be what you do. I heard that he asked Delphina well and introduced him to a young man named Wip.”

“The Forest Elves of the World Tree have a different way of thinking than normal academy students, so I just thought it was because they needed someone to help them during their adjustment period.”

“Didn’t you have to be the Lady of Delphina?”

“The only spearman I knew was Delphina. And I was sure that my sister would not develop a romantic relationship with Wip.”

“But it didn’t work!”

“In the first place, since she is a younger sister who follows me well, if she were to go out with someone, she would have told me first. On what basis does Prince Antonio keep making such claims?”

“… Whoa.”

Perhaps thinking that their stories would run parallel lines at this rate, Prince Antonio got up from his seat at the table in the parlor of the VIP room.

“It would be quicker to show you directly.”

It was not long ago that I hurriedly moved from the VIP room with me.

“You might change your mind if you see your sister and an elf named Wip living together. Come with me.”

“… You mean now? Do you know where Delphina is right now?”

“At this time of day, you’d probably be walking around Academy Plaza to cool off your tired head from work. Maybe take a break with tea at a cafe with a terrace.”

… … … … huh?

“… How the hell does the prince know that?”

“Because, of course, I research where your sister goes every day to figure out the rules. If you put your mind to it, there’s no place in the academy where the eyes of the royal family can’t reach… .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Sensing my serious gaze, Prince Antonio quietly evaded the words he had suddenly uttered.

“I can’t believe you just assigned a supervisor to my sister… .”

“I swear to the sun god that I did not delve into the relevant parts of her private life. The information that came to me is only to the extent that anyone can know if they set their mind to it.”

“That, of course, is what it should be. I’m quite curious what Delphina will think if she hears that the prince is stalking her.”

“That, and only really recently investigated! Ever since Wif Reeader got attached to Delphina! I was so anxious that I couldn’t help it!”

… What should I do with this prince?

“Let me guide you. I think we need to check whether Delphina really has a good relationship with Wip or not.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’ve called you to talk about that today.”

“However, even if it turns out that Delphina and Wip are really close, it seems that it will be difficult to support Prince Antonio like before.”

“… Of course, if this matter is somehow resolved, the surveillance attached to Lady Delphina will of course be removed.”

“Don’t be condescending. That is what it should be.”

I had a moment of skepticism, wondering if it was the right choice to entrust the future of Delphina to this prince.

For now, it was first to check whether Prince Antonio’s claim was correct or not, and pointing out his faults had to be put off for a while.

Of course, I, who didn’t even check Delphina’s intentions and did this behind the scenes, honestly had nothing to say.

Following Prince Antonio, the two men hid themselves inside the alley after entering a deserted alley among the places where Academy Plaza was visible.

“If we wait at this point, Lady Delphina will probably pass by within a few minutes. And perhaps the elf, Wif Reeather, is also with us.”

“It’s a bit strange to ask now, but why do you think Delphina is dating Wip?”

“… … yes?”

“Of course, it is true that we, Delphina, have beauty and charisma comparable to elves, but isn’t a relationship established just because one party likes it?

In my personal opinion, I don’t think there’s anything special about Wip that would attract Delphina.”

“… There must be no reason at all.”

“Yeah?”

Prince Antonio answered in a nervous voice, guessing why Delphina was dating Wip.

“… Aren’t you an elf?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“What about that? Isn’t it the race of elves who are handsome, tall, and maintain eternal youth for hundreds of years even before they die? That alone is reason enough.”

“Is Delphina choosing Wip just for that reason? Was the level of Delphina that Prince Antonio thought was just that level?”

“Love is always made for very trivial reasons, Prince Conrad. And what if I can’t come up with any reason other than that?

I don’t know what your standards of aesthetic sense are, as you’re always facing other elves, but at least as far as I know, no matter how well-maintained noble princes and young ladies are, they can’t imitate their looks and charms with the mystery unique to elves.”

“Ah, yes.”

“… You don’t seem to believe it at all.”

“It’s because Prince Antonio’s idea is so simple. In the first place, if Delfina was going to choose her partner based on their face, then why would she reject Prince Antonio, who has status and power as well… .”

“Shh. quietly.”

Prince Antonio, who was looking from the alley toward the plaza, interrupted me by raising his index finger behind him.

“… You see it over there.”

When I checked where Prince Antonio’s gaze was reaching, I was able to confirm that at the end of his line of sight, a viscountess with platinum hair was crossing the plaza.

In addition, as Prince Antonio claimed, an elf following her could be seen walking with her.

If it was simply that, I was thinking of overreacting to Prince Antonio’s words as before.

In fact, after watching Delphina and Weep walk, I could immediately understand that Prince Antonio’s argument was valid.

“Even by looking at that, you can’t say that the two of them aren’t related, Prince Conrad.”

“… Certainly, yes.”

Wipe was walking with her left hand clasped with Delphina next to her.

And Delphina, who did not reject Wip’s touch, had a very happy expression on her face.
