chapter 15
15 – Episode 15: A Bet Without the Right to Reject
Fortunately, the misunderstanding, which was not a misunderstanding by the cafe
staff, was quickly resolved.
“I am here as a guest of His Royal Highness Prince Chris. By the way, my name is
Cadian, Deputy Minister of Magic.”
Unlike Her Highness, I had no reason to hide my identity, so I revealed it
without hesitation.
Of course, if you just say it, they might not believe it, so I showed them the
identity card and business card given to them by the imperial family.
The moment the counterfeit is made, the expression of the cafe staff becomes
pale in an instant when they see the items that will be decapitated and hanged
in front of the village’s central square.
“Eh, Vice Minister of Magic?”
A person called the Vice Minister of Magic came to the place where His Highness
Prince Chris was, so anyone with even the slightest brain would know that this
couldn’t be an impersonator in front of them.
The cafe staff even checked my ID and bowed down.
“Oh, sorry for misunderstanding.”
I don’t know who the girl is, but seeing that she is so close to the Vice
Minister of Magic, she must be of an unusual status.
And to the point of calling Prince Chris over, he must be ignorant…
‘Wait a minute, I’m sure it was Stella from earlier…’
The cafe employee, Pewon, just recalled a memory from before.
A girl who identified herself as Stella.
His Highness Prince Chris and the Vice Minister of Magic right next to him.
That means… that girl is really Princess Stella…?
‘TI noticed.’
I read the feeling of the sky falling on the expression of the cafe staff.
Hey, just looking at it, I noticed that the person in front of me was the real
princess.
“Should I keep my mouth shut?’
Her Highness, the princess, visited quietly because she didn’t want to make
noise, so I should make sure that the cafe staff don’t make fun of her mouth.
“hey . n
“Yes, yes!”
Seeing his overly stiff appearance, it seems like he won’t open his mouth once
if left alone, but he doesn’t know what a human being is.
“This person’s name is Stella.”
“By the way, how many names are Stella in the Empire?”
The cafe staff knew what the Deputy Minister for Magic was trying to say.
So, a noble lady who uses the same name as the imperial family, who is always
avoided by nobles in the empire, is just a person with the same name as Her
Highness the Princess.
He told me not to make a fuss and keep my mouth shut.
He desperately nodded.
Anyone in the position of Vice Minister of Magic could destroy any number of
cafes like this.
So I had to do well in order not to look bad.
“Then could you please show us to our seats now?”
“If you go upstairs, the 2nd Prince, His Highness…”
“It’s upstairs. thank you for telling me.”
I thought it would be impossible to talk to the staff any more, so I sent the
staff after hearing the location.
The cafe staff didn’t look back and ran away as if they were running away.
A voice came from behind.
“Hmm… I don’t listen to you, but you listen well.”
Stella put on a pouty expression.
I could see it when I turned my head and looked back.
That’s crazy.
“Why is that?”
“You didn’t have to step out.”
Her Highness, the prickly princess, turned her head in excitement.
When I glanced at it, my ears turned red.
It seems that you are ashamed of yourself for making a mistake.
Without even thinking to hide her red-stained ears, Her Highness muttered.
“Let it go up.”
I quietly followed.
And my prediction was very accurate.
Even while climbing the stairs, Stella forgot to use the disguise magic and felt
ashamed of herself for acting normally.
‘It’s a mistake.’
In fact, Stella only visited unofficially because she was bothered by the many
things that came to her when she was revealed to be the princess.
He had no particular thoughts about his identity being revealed.
Because of that, it became a problem and I forgot that I had used the disguise
magic and acted as usual.
I quietly chewed my lip and went up to the second floor.
As the staff said, there was the second prince, Chris, who had an appearance
unique to the royal family.
He saw them coming up the stairs and waved.
Although Stella was wearing a disguise spell, Chris recognized his sister right
away because they only changed the color of her hair and irises.
I looked around.
There was no one by His Highness’ side.
Her Highness Chris and Her Majesty the Princess, who were sitting alone without
a servant, opened their mouths as soon as they met each other.
The first start was from Chris.
“Sister, how are you?”
“Have a good time. How was your academy life?”
“It’s kind of fun. Sister, if you get a chance, try enrolling.”
“It happened. And I am already learning magic separately.”
Stella’s gaze briefly turned to Cadian. Chris, who read the path of his eyes,
smiled brightly and reached out his hand to Cadian.
“Are you the professor teaching my sister magic this time?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
There was something about Chris that made people feel good about his tone and
speech that was kind and respectful to the other person.
After a brief handshake with Cadian, Chris turned his gaze to the man standing
next to his sister like a wooden stone.
“Lord Crimson, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”
“Yes, it’s been a while. Your Highness Prince Chris.”
After a brief conversation, Chris suddenly asked about the commotion downstairs.
“By the way, sister. What happened downstairs?”
“Never mind.”
Stella replied in a harsh voice.
Chris expressed his curiosity. However, in the end, I gave up listening to the
answer because I didn’t think the answer would come out of my sister’s mouth.
He changed the subject.
“Anyway, enjoy it as much as it is during the festival. Is there anything you
want to do?”
“There is nothing.”
“Then it wouldn’t hurt to take a look around. Because this festival is only held
for two days, it is quite noisy.”
“Aren’t you going to go with me?”
“I can’t go with you because I have work to do.”
“That’s not what the guy who invited you said.”
Stella grabbed the pod. However, Chris said he couldn’t go along with a really
helpless expression, so Stella let him go.
Chris smiled bitterly.
He too wanted to enjoy the festival with his sister, but unfortunately, his
status got in the way.
It was strange that the second prince of the empire, who had not yet been
engaged, suddenly enjoy a festival with the daughter of a noble family, and
Stella had no intention of revealing her true identity.
I was not able to participate in the festival that drew a lot of attention from
students.
Coming out of the cafe, Stella went to the festival area to have a look at
Chris’s words to enjoy the festival. By the way, Lord Crimson followed Her
Highness Prince Chris to send a letter by order of Her Highness the Princess.
There were various stores in the festival that started with splendor.
There was a place where they had a cooking experience, and there was also a
place where they threw a magic ball.
Among the various stores, the most eye-catching thing about Stella was, of
course, the doll shooting.
Looking at the colorful dolls lined up, Stella asked the owner.
“How much does it cost to do this once?”
“It’s 100 carcelles for 10 shots.”
The owner of the doll shooting range was a first-year student. He welcomed the
new guest.
Stella paid a total of 200 Karcells.
Receiving 20 bullets, she gave only half of them to Cadian.
“It’s a bet.”
A bet was made on who would knock down more dolls.
but…
‘I never said I did…’
I never said I did.
I had no choice but to hold the gun in both hands because of Her Highness, who
looked at me, saying, “What are you doing without holding it?”
“If I bet, is there a prize for the winner?”
“Um… a product…”
Stella stroked her chin for a moment and pondered. Then a good idea came to my
mind.
“Let’s do this.”
Fingers crossed, she spoke of what she had seen in passing.
“Leisure I saw something very interesting the other day.”
A post I saw while skimming through. There was something very interesting in it.
“I heard there’s a women’s dress up contest and a men’s dress up contest here?”
“Uh… no way?’
No way they’re catching people. Her Highness, the princess continued.
“If you win, you will enter the women’s costume contest, and if you win, you
will enter the men’s costume contest fairly.”
“I don’t bet.”
“Do you want to write a poem?”
There are no choices. yes. I’ll do it.
Under the unprecedented declaration of Her Highness the Princess, an anti-
compulsory bet was concluded.
EE
The academy festival started in the morning.
Most of the festival booths are made by 1st year students, and 2nd and 3rd year
students only enjoy them.
Because of this, Yohane, who became a sophomore this time, went around with her
friends.
“Hey, doesn’t that look fun?”
“what?”
“Tell me that. Match the doll with manatan.”
My friend pointed out that there was a doll shooting range.
“Oh, who challenges.”
Just then, two couples, a man and a woman, were aiming their guns at the stalls
of the doll shooting range.
A friend saw the couple and exclaimed.
“Wow, it’s pretty. You seem to be an outsider, but is it your girlfriend?”
Black hair, purple eyes. The girl with clear features and a chic impression was
a look that anyone would admire.
Yohane followed her friend and turned her head.
He looked at the man’s face and couldn’t help but look embarrassed.
“uh…?”
Yohane recognized the identity of the outsider and let out a voice full of
bewilderment.
“why? “Do you know someone?”
Yohane did not answer the question. Would there be a person at the Academy
Festival who couldn’t even come to the entrance ceremony because he was busy and
didn’t even go home because of Her Highness’s classes these days?
However, the closer he walked and checked his face, the more Yohane became aware
of the other person’s true identity.
Why is my brother out there?
His older brother was enjoying a festival at the academy. Even with someone who
looks like a girlfriend.
Yohane, who had never dreamed that the person who appeared to be his girlfriend
was the first princess, called his older brother to make sure.
“brother?”
