“…Really, he’s such an eyesore.” (Alexandra)
It was recess, exactly one week after Wilfred had subdued the male students who had attended the party. Xandra muttered those words, as she watched Wilfred surrounded by the female students.
In the end, the story of how Wilfred had stopped the rampaging upperclassmen and saved the girls was widely spread throughout the academy. Of course, it was Warren and Marion who spread the word, as well as the academy.
Since Wilfred has the favor of King Eibar, it’s not surprising that the academy would act on its own initiative and do such things. In fact, there’s even the possibility it was an order from the royal palace. Well, I don’t really care about that.
What concerns me is that the heroines from ‘Enhaz’ might now have an even higher opinion of Wilfred and might become involved in a romantic relationship, and fighting over him will increase. Moreover, I just hope the heroines don’t end up suffering from that scum’s poisonous fangs.
By the way, the male students who were captured are still being interrogated under Raphael’s orders. It seems their parents have been asking for their release, but it looks like they’re rejecting it all. Raphael himself seems determined to prove Wilfred and Warren’s involvement.
“By the way, he… the freshman who was bullied by Warren, wasn’t among the students who were caught, right?” (Harold)
I muttered softly while looking out the window.
We had definitely witnessed him entering the building that day, yet for some reason, he wasn’t there. He might have escaped skillfully, but we had no way of knowing.
“I’d like to ask him about that day, if possible…” (Harold)
“Unfortunately, that person… is currently recuperating from an illness.” (Monica)
Monica calmly stated without changing her expression.
The name of that person is Ulysses Stone. He is the son of the Margrave Stone Household, a margrave household located at the northernmost part of the Dehaubalz Kingdom, and as Monica said, he is currently recuperating at his family’s estate and has not yet enrolled in the Royal Academy.
So, who was that person on that day? Well, at least Warren knows him, and I also had his followers questioned during the interrogation, and it seems that it was indeed Ulysses. It’s really hard to understand. But…
“I did find out why he was being bullied so much.” (Monica)
That’s right… His family, the Stone Household, is descended from the ‘Norz Empire’, who once ruled over this Brint Island before the founding of the Dehaubalz Kingdom. The Norz people, who arrived on Brint Island by crossing the sea, drove out our ancestors, the indigenous people, and quickly built a mighty nation known as the ‘Nors Empire’. However, their reign didn’t last long, and they were driven to the frigid north by the first king of Dehaubalz Kingdom, “Butlers Weir Dehaubalz,” and for the past three hundred years, they have been persecuted.
Well, it’s a pretty terrible story… or so I’d like to say, but when the Norz ruled, the people of Dehaubalz were the ones being persecuted, so it’s not something I can just make a judgment about.
“But, why does Warren know about him… about Ulysses?” (Harold)
“The Gibson Household is not only the commander of the Dehaubalz Kingdom’s knight order, but also has territory located on a line connecting the capital and the Stone Household’s estate. This is likely a precaution against the Stone Household.” (Alexandra)
“Oh, I see.” (Harold)
I nodded at Xandra’s explanation.
In other words, his family serves as a defense in case the Stone Household ever rebels. There might be something to that with Marion’s family, the Shearer Household, being overshadowed by the Gibson Household, and them serving as the kingdom’s knight commanders.
“Either way, I’d really like to meet that Ulysses person and talk to him. I want to confirm if he’s the same person from that day.” (Harold)
“I understand. I will inform the Stone Household that His Highness Harold wishes to visit.” (Monica)
“Eh? Can you really do that?” (Harold)
“Of course. Despite being the descendants of a fallen country, they are still nobles serving the Dehaubalz Kingdom.” (Monica)
Well, considering the past circumstances, I’m sure they wouldn’t want to see the face of a royal like me, but… Well, it’s fine. I’ll leave it to Monica.
“Then, can I leave it to you?” (Harold)
“Leave it to me. I will send a letter immediately.” (Monica)
And so, a week passed after I requested a visit to the Stone Household.
I received a reply from them, welcoming my visit.
