30 An Unwanted Acciden (2/2)
”Enough, who did this? Who dare to harm the princess?” The black haired boy stomped toward the girls and all began to retreat. They didn't know that their target had such a high rank but they were still solidary. None betrayed the guilty nobles and in the end, one pointed to the lone girl standing nearby. A girl wearing clean clothes but still ordinary ones. And that was still baffled by the direction that the evens took.
(I didn't plan that. You should have saved her yourself.)
”The only moment I looked away, something like that happened.” Leilade and the Viscount were debating about how this happened. However, it was too late because all the girls, even those that were in front of the magicians and that couldn't have seen everything, pointed at her. The menacing copy of a certain magus walked toward Leilade and tried to pressure her.
”Is it true? Did you push the princess? I, Leodagan Arastil ask you this.” She felt that no matter what will happen, she will be found guilty. Also, since her plan to get close was already over before it even started, it would be a good way to contact Alexander and tell him to cancel everything.
”Yes. Now, can we go please?” Her cold voice that clearly didn't match her cute appearance stunned everyone. First of all, none thought that she will admit it, especially a noble girl that was very pale at this moment. The two boys that were fighting for the same prize immediately turned hostile and even the kind princess looked disappointed.
”That's great, come with me, I will uphold justice right now. To harm a fellow student, the very first day, your punishment will not be light. We don't need some savage peasants breaking the rules that were created thousands of years ago.” The sheer arrogance in his voice was pretty unpleasant and the princess was clearly not happy with that, but Leodagan didn't notice it. Like he didn't notice the anger on numerous people that were wearing cheap clothes. At this moment, the two most hated people were close to each other and leaving the hall. As for the magicians, that accident was way above their authority and when they recognized the son of the magus, they sighted of release.
Soon, Leilade and her kidnapper arrived near the door she left some hours ago. To his surprise, the handsome boy noticed that she was extremely familiar with the path and that she was not reluctant at all to walk where he wanted to be. A sentiment of unease crept in his mind, but he dismissed it. Only after announcing his presence and seeing the face of his father crumbled did he realized that maybe he made a mistake. What he didn't know was that Alexander was not worried about him but the potential victim of Leilade.
In the history of his position, it was unheard of a student committing two incidents before even receiving their uniforms. He was feeling more and more reluctant to hide the talent of Leilade and even began to think that if a nation captured her, it would be a huge benefit for the kingdom. Even if it was borderline treason, it was his true thoughts.
”Magus Alexander, this student violently pushed the princess and even admitted her crime. What should be the sentenced?”
The magus was baffled by the information that his son gave. In this location, the human with the least reason of doing something like that would be the very person he accused. He was beginning to dismiss it when he heard the same cold voice he began to dread.
”I didn't do it, however, this student abused his power as a noble to force me to confess. I am the victim here.” Her enormous smile completely destroyed her accusation, but Alexander knew it was just to embarrass him at this point. His son completely screwed their original plan and therefore, since he was humiliating her, she fought back. His headache that was gone returned once more. Since the damage was done, he couldn't do anything at all besides salvaging the favor of the icy girl.
”I see, let's drop both of the accusations and continue this day, everybody is fine with that?”
”But, fat…
”EVERYBODY IS FINE?” Leodagan tried to argue but seeing his angry dad, he nodded as well.
”Great, lead her to the quartermaster and make sure he provides everything. And not a single word should leave your mouth besides that. Also, you are now a normal student, remember that. Even if you are my son, the rules are applied to you too.”
Without anything else to say, the magus waved at the two to leave his room. The deeply infuriated Leodagan and the totally bored Leilade managed to catch up with the group right before they reached the quartermaster. Everyone looked at them weirdly, but none dared to ask anything. However, both of them saw that while they were gone, that Ronald got very close to Istuienn and she was even laughing with him.
