Chapter 6.1 (1/2)

This chapter is unedited

[Tsk, aren't you in good shape.]

When I looked back, I could not see the owner of the voice.

[Sheryl-kun, should I silence him?]

[Calm down.]

I hurriedly told Welmina to wait.

Does Welmina have any clue as to who said it?

But I can understand his feelings very well.

[If a guy is surrounded by three cute ladies, a jealous man wouldn’t be able to stop himself from being sarcastic.]

[Geez, you’re calling me cute on purpose.]

[Because it’s the truth. If I see Big Brother being surrounded by beauties, even I would want to spit out sarcasm.]

[I see, so you’re jealous. That your brother might be taken away by beautiful ladies, that is.]

[Please go back.]

My jealousy is not towards the ladies but to my brother.

Since I see Welmina’s thoughts starting to fly away, I’ll stop from correcting her.

[By the way, what did they mean when they said they’d be scolded if they carelessly approach the S cla.s.s?]

[As you have known, His Highness is there so they have to keep their guards up.]

[Are you talking about the Royal family’s guards?]

I guess being involved with the prince will be troublesome.

When I convincingly nodded, I heard a laughter above me.

[Aah, no, that’s not it. The guards are organized by volunteers among the students. It’s not even official, and it seems His Highness is unaware of it.]

[A fan club?]

[It’s probably closer to that. However, their members consist of only children from n.o.ble families and they don’t want to a.s.sociate with commoners like me.]

[It looks like there are a lot of factions.]

[Yeah, there are. If you have anything you don’t understand, please ask and I’ll tell you as much as I can.]

[Thank you for your help.]

[Leave it to me!]

Even if she calls herself a commoner, for Welmina to know so much about the n.o.bles more than normal is amazing.

This so-called commoner's family of course has stores all over the Ron’Ares Kingdom and the Bedford Family is known to be amongst the top 5 most influential business firm in the country.

Still, I knew that he’s enrolled on the same grade as me, but to think I’ll be in the same cla.s.s as the prince.

I don’t think we’ll get involved with each other, but I still feel nervous as expected.

Or rather, I can feel his frighteningly ma.s.sive presence through the Mana detection from the very beginning.

The people in S cla.s.s generally have above average Mana, but there’s only one who’s way off the chart.

Apparently, he’s seated at the very back of the cla.s.s.

[Sheryl-kun, we’re almost at the door. You don’t have to worry since I’ll be right next to you.]

When I entered the cla.s.sroom with Welmina and did our greetings, we headed to the front row with vacant seats.

In the cla.s.sroom, desks and chairs made of the same dark wood as the floor were lined up, and they were made impressively. Only Welmina’s chair that's sitting next to me has been replaced with a single seat.

Since it seems that there is still time until homeroom teacher comes, I decided to take out the baggage from the storage part of the wheelchair and arrange the writing utensils.

It’s been bothering me, though, that the cla.s.sroom has become weirdly quiet since we entered the cla.s.sroom.

Since this is my first time at school, should I have introduced myself first?

[Perhaps they’re just observing the situation so you don’t have to mind them. And there will be an introduction part when the teacher arrives later.]

[Okay…]

If you weren’t here, my heart would’ve already broken, so thank you for being here, Welmina.

It’s not like I hate silence, but the silence and attention being directed at me doesn’t make me feel good.

As soon as I'm becoming a bit gloomy, the cla.s.s started making a slight rockus.

Eh, wai, scary!

The presence which has enormous Mana is getting closer to me. I’ve never felt like this even towards Bellom-sensei.

Just from realising who that presence belongs to makes me unable to run even if I want to.

I secretly glanced at Welmina……She’s turned rock solid with her face looking down.

It doesn’t matter even if it looks weird. Okay, let’s pretend we saw nothing.

When I got over it, I decided to wait for the presence to pa.s.s by.

[Were you called Sheryl Bashral? Aah, you may remain seated.]

I got spoken to!!!!!

Now way. Because of the wheelchair, I find it hard to move…! F, for the mean time, greetings…!!!

[My apologies for being late. I am indeed Sheryl Bashral, Your Highness.]

[It’s my bad for calling out to you without an introduction. It’s because I’ve heard about you from Bellom-sensei, so I just had to.]

[You don’t have to.]

It’s Bellom-sensei’s fault?! Let me know about it, too!

Stay calm…. stay calm…. Let’s just cut the Mana detection this time. It’s not good for my mental health.

[Can you raise up your head? We’ll be studying together from now on so if possible, please treat me as one of your cla.s.smates.]

Don’t say something impossible.

But since I can’t really keep my head down, I decided to raise it.

When I looked up, the scene I saw made me almost stop breathing.

[….I am not used to interacting with others for a period of time. I would appreciate if you forgive my actions.]

Does being mesmerized feel like this?

I can’t take my eyes off him.

I seemed to be staring unconsciously at him but I managed to squeeze out my voice and regain myself.

He has skin as white as porcelain fringed with golden hair s.h.i.+ning like waves being hit by light.

His glossy purple eyes combined with pale pink lips blows my mind away.

He’s like a beauty everyone dreams to become.

I think that Mother who has cited him was the real fool.

Since I can’t lower my face anymore, I will just lightly turn my eyes down.

[I see, you are…… First of all, please allow me to apologize.]

[Your Highness?!]

The cla.s.sroom turned even noisier after His Highness’s words.

He’s come to my side before I noticed ……According to my information from before, even the guys from the Blow Family and Dudovan Family are both shocked.

[I never knew about you until I’ve heard from Bellom-sensei.]

[That’s… quite obvious, isn’t it?]

[Even though I know about the Dreaming Illness? I’ve known about the Dreaming Illness through doc.u.ments and informations but I’ve never known a person fighting one. About you almost dying or sharing your knowledge for the sake of other patients, everything……Even your transfer to the middle school, I’ve heard all of them from Bellom-sensei. Even though anyone could acquire the incurable disease, I’ve never been interested on the Dreaming Illness……I’m sorry.]

As if the noise from before was a lie, the sounds from the room disappeared.

But immediately after the words of His Highness, voices of approval rose.

[That’s the same for me too, Yor Highness!]

[Me, too!]
