Come to think of it, something similar came up in the war journal that Hugo had read.

If there was a knight who was too strong in the enemy soldiers, he hated that knight, but he was also anxious to bring him to his side.

“……”

Hugo bit his thin lip and jumped up.

“Even Lily is going to be in the talk.”

He made his last word and turned around and left the room.

I felt déjà vu this morning.

“This is bad.”

As Hugo disappeared, Alan, who was examining my paintings, muttered seriously.

Even if he was cold-blooded, he cared about his sons when they fought…

“Not only pink sapphires, but alexandrite would suit it too.

I will make several frame samples.”

…That was my mistake.

To Alan, how he would frame the painting was more important than his upset son’s departure.

Beside Alan, Pedro also picked up the chalk as if nothing had happened.

“The jewels all look the same, so I don’t know what you are worried about.”

“It’s the difference between Ruby and Spinel, Pedro.”

“Look at that.

Even the name is hard.”

“…Is it okay if we don’t follow Brother Hugo”

Even if I asked carefully, Pedro didn’t care at all, and began to draw.

It was a little surprising because it was a new development for me.

“Leave him alone, he will come to the dining room on his own at dinner time.”

“But…”‘

‘Just because he eats or has a conversation with a seemingly casual look doesn’t mean he’s really okay.’

‘The hurt feelings will pile up and build up, and one day, even if you just lightly stab it, it will explode like a bomb.’

I had felt this for a long time, the Bauner family loved their members but was indifferent to taking care of their hearts.

It felt like they didn’t approach each other deeply.

“I will go.”

I brushed my knees and got up. 

I was worried that Hugo might do something unexpected.

Pedro stared at me in the face and hugged me tightly.

“Smart and even sweet, my little sister!”

“Oh, Brother.

I’m suffocating.”

“Pedro, Lily said she’s suffocating.”

Alan, who was enjoying my drawing, was staring at Pedro.

Pedro let me go and shook the paper.

“For now, Hugo might not have calmed down yet, so let’s just finish drawing.

Hm I want to play with Lily.”

I thought about it for a while, but I quickly returned to my place.

It also seemed better to give him some time before I go find him.

I sat down next to Pedro and asked,

“Do you know where Brother Hugo went”

“That guy, he locks himself in the dark magic lab whenever something bad happens.

If you’re so worried, I’ll take you there later.

But since last year, the academy has banned the beasts from entering…”

“Huh Then you can’t even come in, can you”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Pedro punched his wide chest as if telling me to trust him.

“I’m the commander of the duke’s knights!”

*** 

“You can’t enter.”

A guard standing at the entrance to the academy blocked Pedro.

Pedro put me down from his arms with a bewildered expression.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you I’m the knight commander…”

“I know.”

The guards were adamant.

Even the commanding officer of the duke’s castle could not avoid the order to prohibit entry.

“In addition, I know what Lord Pedro’s knights have done at the academy.”

“You mean Roxy Hey, it was because she was in the carnival mood back then.

Please turn a blind eye.”

If it was Roxy, it was the name of the knight I saw at the gym last time.

I remembered her by introducing herself to me.

Despite Pedro’s gentle tone, the guard’s expression was cold.

He tilted the long spear diagonally as if he was drawing a line he shouldn’t cross.

“The Princess can enter.

Because her god’s power is sealed.”

“It’s too much.

How can I let a child go alone”

“It was Roxy who was too much, hiding in the academy and smoking cigarettes using ancient documents.”

What in the world did she do 

Pedro looked elsewhere and made an excuse with a solemn expression.

“Ahem, as the commander of the knights of the duchy, I’ll be sure to pay attention to my subordinates.”

“While the treasury of ancient knowledge was being destroyed, Lord Pedro was betting on drinks instead of managing your men.”

The guard revealed every mistake of Pedro in a hard voice.

At this point, I had nothing to say. 

Despite the knife-like rejection, Pedro did not hesitate and smiled.

“Oh, did you see that too I had a match with some shaggy southerner, and I won.

Haha!”

“Please go back.”

The guard asked coldly.

Considering his position, his attitude was expected, but somehow I was puzzled.

‘Anyway, is it okay to do that against the first prince of House Bauner’

If it was me, I would have called for my boss while crawling.

Because if I acted arrogantly for no reason, I might get fired.

At that time, Pedro sighed, and pushed his bangs back.

“This isn’t going to work.”

Oh, was this the time to show the prince’s authority

Pedro picked up a branch from the roadside and headed to the guard.

The wolf’s ears and tail protruded from between his head and his trousers.

“If you close your eyes a little, I’ll have fun with you.

A chance to play fetch with the honorable Bauner’s First Prince! How is it”

‘Why am I the one who is getting embarrassed’

“…Brother, let’s just go.”

I took Pedro’s hand and walked away from the entrance.

If I left him like this, the pride of the venerable prince seemed like it would fall to the ground.

Although it seemed that Pedro himself didn’t really care…

“Ah, I didn’t know this would happen.

I’ll have to send the larks over here.”

To think that he would turn a blind eye after his subordinates burned the ancient texts.

To be honest, he was more unbelievable

Pedro, who was stomping in dissatisfaction, turned toward the Duke’s Castle and howled.

Then someone came out of nowhere and blocked us.

Pedro quickly hugged me.

I was surprised and looked at the man who suddenly appeared.

It was a face I had seen before, with a single eye and a bent waist.

‘He’s the one who ostracized Hugo back then.’

On the first day I visited the academy, I met him in the hallway.

In front of Hugo, he was only submissive… 

Today, he looked at me with a relaxed expression, as if he had some sort of intention.

“Hey, Bryce, long time no see.”

Perhaps he knew this person well, Pedro smiled broadly and waved his hand. 

I didn’t feel much hostility. 

Does he not know that that person bullied Hugo

“Lord Pedro, have you been well”

The man called ‘Bryce’ bowed and greeted him.

Pedro passed by the man’s side before he could raise his head.

“Yes, you should be healthy, too.

Well then.”

“Wait a minute.”

Bryce rushed after Pedro.

Pedro tightened his grip on me as if that man was about to hit me.

“What is it” 

Pedro, who was playful even with the guard, suddenly raised his eyebrows fiercely.

Oh, as expected.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know about Hugo’s accident.

Bryce glanced at Pedro, then shook his head again.

“I will bring the Princess to Hugo.”

It was an unexpected offer.

Pedro smirked as if it was nonsense.

“You mean I should entrust Lily to someone like you You have a great dream.”

Pedro took a step forward.

But Bryce did not give up.

He mumbled inaudibly as he was chasing Pedro in a hurry.

“At the same time, I also have something to say to Hugo…”

“Oh, yes.

You can’t even make eye contact with Hugo by yourself, right Just because he’s in front of Lily, he isn’t the kind of person who will suddenly be kind to you, so don’t worry about it.”

“It has been confirmed that Hugo brought in an evil spirit without permission from the Imperial House.”

At those words, Pedro stopped walking.

I was completely bewildered.

‘Evil spirit The one Hugo brought to relieve my anger But that person already knew that.’

Obviously, when we first met, Bryce had talked with Hugo about the evil spirit.

But why was he talking like an interrogator all of a sudden

“I don’t know who took it out, but the evil spirit passed through the academy and to the stadium.”

“…Keep talking.”

Pedro replied in a languid tone.

I was startled to find a crooked smile on his lips.

It was the first time I had seen such a villainous Pedro.

“My brother, the second prince of the Bauner family, brought the evil spirit and sold it to the stadium owner… Is that what you mean He must have earned some pocket money.”

It was a sarcastic tone, but it was a hundred times correct.

The person who brought in the evil spirit was Hugo, that’s correct.

But it was for the sake of his sister who came back after 10 years, not because of the money.

‘In the first place, the Duke of Bauner was incredibly rich.

What’s the need for that’

Bryce averted his gaze, then he mumbled the end of his words.

“At least, we can’t deny the fact that Hugo brought an evil spirit into the barrier.

That evil spirit is being cited as the reason for the breaking of the barriers in the stadium…”

“So, what’s the evidence”

Pedro cut off Bryce’s words casually.

“Are you going to ask ‘who brought you here’ to the evil spirit”

Pedro put me on the ground and approached Bryce.

“Hey, don’t do anything that won’t work.

Because it’s funny to the people watching.”

“I just wish for the safety of the Empire…”

“It was you that sold the evil spirit that my brother brought in as a spectacle.

You thought I wouldn’t know”

Bryce’s cheeks flinched and trembled.
