Chapter 40 (1/2)
Blacksmith Volume 2 Chapter 20
First Princess Maria’s POV
The second-year’s examination results have been posted
The students ranks had changed here and there, but there were also a few that either skyrocketed up or slid way down froinal rank
There are a few students whose results were extraordinary though
In particular, the students who placed from first to fourth this time
And of course, one of those four is I, Maria Kudan
As a personblessed with excellent grades, athletic ability, and beauty, I’et a little boring sometimes
There’s just not enough stimulus in my life
Anyways, because I didn’t want to stay at school any longer, I tentatively decided to return home to the Capital
If I was going to go soo ho at me if I just decided to take a trip
Ah! Oh alas! I guess I’ll be bored this summer as well
I really don’t want to go back home, one of the places I want to visit is actually the Helan territory
I’d rather go there than the Capital
Certainly, its co but I don’t really feel the need to go shopping right now
That is not hoant to spend my summer vacation
Anyways, as I spent my days bored out of my mind this summer, I was suddenly summoned by mother
Apparently there’s going to be a gathering of princesses fro countries here
And I’m supposed to be our country’s representative
I don’t really want to do such a thing though, I want to go to the Helan territory’s new summer resort
Eventually, the day caardens
Around the table there were about ten girls drinking tea while chatting, including myself
Oh look! Soo ‘Ohohohohohoho~’
What’s that? Soo ‘Ohohohohohoho~’
My stoust from the mood, and that’s just the start
Hopefully this finishes quickly
As I thought that in the middle of our ‘Ohohohohoho~’ tournament, somebody with a cute face had suddenly appeared
“Nice to meet you everyone,you”
“Oh, Lasa”
I stood up to greet him
Unlike Arc, Lasa is my cute little brother
“I was actually about to head over to the Helan territory, so I was caive my salutations to Ane-sama before I departed”
“Eh? You’re going to the Helan territory?” …I want to go too
There’s no way I can just let him leave me in this hell hole, I don’t want to be stuck here with all these princesses!
Falling tomy duties as this country’s princess
It’ll be difficult, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible
“Lasa, can you wait a little bit? I want to go as well”
I secretly whispered into Lasa’s ear
“Is that okay?”
Lasa said with a worried undertone
“It’s fine”
“Ow! That hurts! My stomach!”
I rale that the others couldn’t see
He fell to the ground on his knees with one hand propping hi his stomach
“Are you alright?!”
The daughters of the other countries royalty ere just enjoying their tea a few o, ran up to us in worry
Well after his outburst, it’s only natural they’d do that
“Nee-san…”
Lasa looked up to , but well, let’s just forget the details
“Are you alright? Is your stoain? We both know that you’ve had bad bowel movements lately, you should take care of yourself more”
I said that in a voice loud enough for the rest on the princesses to hear, telling the a constipation proble this? Absolutely not I’ll whatever I want to do
“No, my stomach is fine but- O! Nevermind, I think I need someone to call a doctor”
“I can give you first aid while everyone searches for one”
“Thanks, but until the doctor comes don’t think you’ll be able to do much”
“Here, I’ to do a quick check, okay? So let touch your sto, it’s probably because you’ve let gas accumulate inside too much that this has happened”
Maybe it’s because they had drunk toostories that so out Chapon Chapon sounds
Whatever you do Lasa, don’t fart
“Maria-sama, we understand your eht now You can excuse yourself if you wish”
“There’s no way I could do such a thing!” I need to keep up e first, I can’t just dash out at the first exit!
What a desperate excuse, telling everyone my brother’s constipated If someone were to find out that I actually kneed hi over me for the rest of my life
