Chapter 12 (1/2)
It’s all good to prepare myself for the worst, but could two people who didn’t even kno to control their powers meet with the princess?
The doubt did occur to me, but it proved to not be a hindrance at all several weeks later
Even if they were allowed to ht it wouldn’t have been until they had studied with Miss Artmann for a while, so I was surprised to suddenly find two boys in front of me with chokers on their necks
Set with a precious stone, those chokers were effective at th, and with it installed, only 30 of the boys’ poere useable
“Pleased to hness We have been honored with the opportunity to study e of Lady Irene von Art”
Theo Eilenberg was an i man with fiery red hair, and eyes with an unusual mix of red and black
He had strongly sun-tanned skin, a cheerful se frame unthinkable on a 13 year old It would be more appropriate to say he better fit the role of a soldier
“I’”
The slender pretty boy who subduedly introduced himself had nearly-white silver hair, porcelain skin, and deep indigo eyes
They were supposed to be the sae, but you could say he was Theo’s exact opposite in many ways
Treated like a e of beco misanthropic
But, he hasn’t become twisted yet
Okay I’ll need to create an opportunity to put a dent in his flag!
Well, it’s all fine and dandy to say that, but…Lutz was a tough nut to crack
I couldn’t figure out how to get close to him at all
“Princess, princess! What is this ood for?”
On the other hand, I got along famously with Theo froinning and didn’t put up walls with anyone
We’re currently in thedifferent types of reenhouse Maintaining the beds as went, soMerrily pointing at an herb, that guy was acting like a big kid
But, I had a hunch that childishness was calculated in order to ease his way through life—the so-called worldly wisdom
If he focused on establishi+ng contact with the people around him, he could become wildly successful in life
“You use it to reduce fevers in children You drink the juice squeezed from the raw plants”
“Ugh, bitter”
“Of course it is”
I s up his face
“And this? What is it good for?”
“You use that to stop bleeding If you boil and drink it, you can treat bowel problems I think it’s also effective for cold sensitivity, stomach aches, etc”
“Boil, then drink…this is bitter, too”
“It’s delicious if you bake it with bread”
“Huh, really? Even though it’s bitter?”
“If you boil it, you can reency When you pound it and ood flavor”
To be honest, this herb with the jagged leaves was just japanese wort
It would’ve been perfect if there were also rice and azuki beans I’ve looked everywhere but haven’t found any Someday, however, I believed Master Julius would obtain them for me
“A, princess, you know soHey, Lutz! You should coether!”
Theo hailed Lutz, who stood apart fro the plants
After one look in our direction, he turned away No response
Theo didn’t seeood, huh?
I’m so thankful Theo was here with me If I had been by myself, I’e to talk to Lutz
“Lutz, may I come over there?”
“…………”
Even when I called out to hied his shoulders, Theo and I looked at each other at the sa with him?
But that pleasantintent behind oosebumps on my skin
Looking back, I gave the owner of that aura a glare, and called him to attention
“Klaus!”
“Yes, m’lady?”
Even at the receiving end of lare, Klaus wasn’t cowed a bit
Instead of being intiotten worse with every year?
“Stop that!”
“Why is that? When they have been so rude to you, my lady? Their attitudes are intolerable”
If I let YOU be intolerable, it should be OK, shouldn’t it!
Sing the words co out of my throat, I took a breath instead
“It’s fine, so stop”
With a, By your will, Klaus stepped down
If I gave him commands in a calm voice, he iers the switch for this guy
So a Klaus instruction
“Princess, you are a strange lady,” Theo said in a s the beds
When I looked at hie one, he said What was so strange about me?
My outer appearance reseirls everywhere?
“Really? I believe myself to to be normal”
