Chapter 16 – Episode 16. Astrid Is Pissed
Leopold wasn’t in a good mood.
The reason is unknown. I don’t know.
I just didn’t like that all the cadets, male and female, were staring at Astrid.
‘This must be the reason, what.’
In other words, I don’t like these eyes looking at Astrid.
Especially, I don’t like the fact that the male cadets are staring at Astrid.
I can say for sure.
Leopold doesn’t like Astrid.
It’s good to see that he rather hates it.
It wasn’t like that before.
He obviously got along well when he was young, and he was very off-white from a young age… No, it’s a bit awkward to say off-white to a 10-year-old kid, so I remember being very happy that Astrid, who had been very beautiful since childhood, would soon become his bride.
But 10 years ago, everything turned upside down.
It’s the beginning. Leopold did it, but the memory of that day when Astrid’s response wasn’t good either.
Since that day, they have been indifferent to each other, and finally, as they passed through puberty, their feelings of dislike for each other and close to hatred have worsened.
It made me even more unwelcome to be admitted to the academy with Astrid, but it wasn’t nice to see that men’s eyes were focused on Astrid right now, at this moment.
Let’s be honest.
Feel bad.
What was even more incomprehensible was Astrid’s reaction.
Even though Astrid is under the eyes of the male cadets, her face color does not change.
He doesn’t have a good expression to begin with, but in this situation, he should be a little embarrassed or pay attention to his eyes, but he’s not like that.
Her white skin and mint-colored eyes are still looking at the textbook.
Perhaps.
Because Leopold was sitting behind Astrid, what she sees now is just her back.
Elegant silver hair that was braided and braided into a single strand and put up as it was.
When it comes down to that hair… The slender nape of the neck, revealing pure white skin.
That neckline… The neckline…
“Cadet Leopold.”
“… What is it?”
Leopold was staring blankly at Astrid’s back.
Leopold responded bluntly to Akhemilla’s sudden voice.
He was shocked inside, but the education he received as the crown prince made it easy to hide those feelings.
“Cadet Leopold is engaged to Cadet Astrid, right?”
“Not yet.”
At those words, Astrid shook very slightly.
But even that was just a moment, and she didn’t even notice it, not even Akhemilla or Leopold.
“If not yet… ?”
“Literally, they are not engaged yet. It’s just a pact between the fathers, and we haven’t agreed yet.”
The engagement of Crown Prince Leopold von Einhafen and the Northern Grand Duchess, Astrid von Mitterien, was already well known throughout the empire.
Akemilla knew it too, and she actually brought up the topic of this engagement blah blah just to talk about it, but she found out an unexpected fact.
“If you say it’s not confirmed… Okay. Whoa.”
Akemilla’s eyes softened.
“Astrid, I know you are listening. Whatever you say, though.”
Astrid didn’t answer.
She didn’t even look back at her.
Seeing her silently looking at the textbook, it seemed as if she wasn’t even interested in what Leopold said, as if she was just saying whatever she wanted.
“You’re saying it’s not confirmed.”
Even Akemilla’s voice intervened just in time.
Leopold’s somewhat impatient temper and his temper, which had grown up as he had grown up as a crown prince, were finally triggering a chemical reaction that should not have occurred at this moment.
“Yeah, that means it’s not confirmed.”
Even the honorifics flew away somewhere.
Leopold’s quick temper, which should have been braked by someone else, was running out of control at this moment without any brakes.
“The reason I came to the academy was to find a rain that was more suitable for me. If there is a better lady than the Grand Duchess of the North, I intend to welcome her with my rain.”
The impact of those words was great.
‘… Bad boy.’
Astrid had ears too, so she heard everything Leopold said.
What can be said for sure is that Astrid hates Leopold. Speaking of the human side, even if Astrid had seen Leopold, how much would he have seen, and even if he knew, how much would he know?
So, it is unreasonable to discuss the human aspect of Leopold now, and what you can see is Leopold as a marriage partner, but Leopold is not a spirit in Astrid’s eyes.
No, I have no intention of getting married in the first place.
Didn’t she choose to go to the academy for that?
It ended up like this because of a twist in the middle, but Astrid’s plan was to find a way to return to the original world, even if it was through the academy library, at least after formally entering here.
But still, I don’t know what it means to say something like that in front of the person in question. I fully realized that Leopold was like a child during this ascetic training, but it was too much even if I did it.
It wasn’t that she wanted to be treated like her fiancée, but rather she was going to reject it, but isn’t this something to say in front of the person concerned?
“The reason I came to the academy was to find a rain that was more suitable for me. If there is a better lady than the Grand Duchess of the North, I intend to welcome her with my rain.”
I heard Leopold’s words.
His fingers, which were holding the bookshelf of his textbook, tensed.
“Oh, is that so?”
Akemilla’s soft voice came one after another.
It was surprising, but there was a slight excitement mixed in her voice.
“Then, can I also run as a candidate for the Crown Princess?”
Yes, do as you like
Wasn’t it supposed to find the Crown Princess in the first place?
Astrid looked at her textbook, thinking she was better off with less effort.
Although explanations were written on the operation of swords, great swords, spears, fine swords, heavy swords, etc., And the characteristics of each class, none of those words or pictures caught my eye.
“Yes, it is possible. Lady Archemilla.”
Uk.
Something snapped up.
I just want to return this word.
“Cadet Leopold.”
Astrid slowly rose from her seat.
At her sudden action, the eyes of the other cadets also turned to Astrid.
If that’s the case, isn’t she going to hit her once, she honestly deserved a hit, but I heard very little whispers about whether she should be killed, but Astrid is fine.
“Princess, do whatever you want. Engagement like that, I will refuse. It’s just fine. I have no intention of marrying you anyway, so do it yourself.”
I was annoyed.
Leopold’s pale face looking up with a somewhat surprised look, which he still thought was a good person, looked just annoying at this moment.
“Oh, Astrid?”
“How many times do I tell you to attach a cadet?!”
– Boom!
Astrid, unable to overcome her anger and frustration, hit the desk.
The desk that Astrid struck, barely able to overcome the force and making a cracking sound, was soon cut in half and collapsed.
“The academy is not the imperial palace, and you are not the current crown prince. If you want to be treated like a prince here, go back to the imperial palace. Do you understand? This immature prince… “
Astrid took a very small deep breath.
I felt relieved to have to say this.
“Bastard.”
In an instant, the training ground froze.
*
It was education, it was nabal, and I was not in the mood to receive it.
Astrid left the training ground that way and walked aimlessly.
After walking for a long time, we reached a small grassy field where we did not know where it was.
A normal resting flower bed with flowers in full bloom on a round flower bed and even benches placed around it.
Astrid sat on the bench and looked up at the sky with a sigh.
Why couldn’t you be patient there a little longer?
After such a major accident, maybe it would be better now.
Tearing afternoon training from the first day of training, ahh.
The ignition point was not so low, but why?
A fiancée is something I’d rather refuse, but I don’t know why it annoyed me so much.
“Squad leader?”
“… ?”
I didn’t expect to hear the title of squad leader here.
When he turned his head, he saw a man with his eyes open or closed, drawing an arc in his eyes and waving his hand.
“… Aren’t you an Astein student? What are you doing here?”
“That is our training ground. I’m skipping for a while, is the squad leader skipping too?”
“Ding Ding Ding from day one… “
When I tried to say it, she didn’t mean to say it, so Astrid shut her mouth.
“Hey, this is also a relationship.”
Astein didn’t even ask and she sat down next to Astrid.
Among the many benches she was doing, she thought, “Why are you here?”, But Astrid didn’t want to do that, but Astain didn’t seem to care about that.
“Shall we hang out together?”
Astein thought she was a model student, but she didn’t look like that.
