“I’ve heard about you. In fact, I’m also in favor of peaceful coexistence with you orcs.” The calmed princess clapped her hands, “Ah, look at me. I haven’t properly introduced myself yet. I am Alyssa, the princess of this country, the daughter of queen Cerese.”
I rose quickly, clenched my fist against my chest, and performed the standard military salute of my tribe: “ I am the first-class warrior of the Blood Axe clan, Brock. Pleased to meet you, Your highness.”
“Don’t be so formal. I’m a student, just like you here. You can call me Alyssa” the princess waved her hand with a smile “Sure enough, As Dean Rolanna said, orcs are also a civilized race. In return for your help, you can ask me if there is anything you don’t understand in the future.”
“Thank you very much.”
Good, not only the misunderstanding was solved, but also made a good impression on the successor of the country’s leader. This was a big step towards bringing the two races closer.
I couldn’t help rejoicing.
“Then, it’s almost time to go back to class. Ah is this your textbook?” said the princess, looking at the desk.
Textbook?
I followed her line of sight, and an immediate alarm sounded in my heart.
“This…. Eh—-” her voice suddenly stopped.
On the desk, there was the R-rated picture book Rolaana had brought out earlier.
Then she slowly raised her head, like a rusty tin man, her eyes frightened: “You, your book?”
Rolannaa!!!!!
That pervert! When going out at least remember to put your book away!
“No!” I quickly denied, “It’s Dean Rolaana’s!”
“No way, how can the noble and elegant Dean read such kinds of books?”
She has a stack of these kinds of books! Damn it, that pervert has maintained her outside image well!
“Sure enough, you were going to take advantage when I relax… ” princess Alyssa hugged herself and shivered.
“No! This book is really not mine. If you don’t believe it, read carefully.” I picked up the book and stood in front of her.
“I didn’t see anything! Don’t show it to me!” screaming, she covered her eyes, “Let me go. This, this kind of shameless thing is impossible for me to do!!”
Ghosts will do it! Don’t cover your eyes and peek through your fingers if you don’t want to see it. Haven’t you already seen the cover picture clearly?
“Calm down, your highness! I want you to take a closer look at the title of the book!” I covered the shameless cover picture with one hand and only revealed the title, “Looks, it’s elvish, isn’t it?”
“Aye? It is indeed…”
“So, this is a book published in your country, not mine! I can’t read elvish!”
“Then…, is it the banned books that Dean confiscated from the students?”
I put down the covering hand, clapped it and the table and hurriedly said: “Yes! It must have been like this!. When I came in, this thing was already on the table. How could I possibly put this on the desk when Dean was here?”
As long as the stigma could be removed, it doesn’t matter if there is a deviation from the facts.
“Is.. is that so?”
At the moment, there was a knock on the office door, and a female elf who looked like a student pushed the door and came in: “Dean, teacher Miriya asked me to give you this document —”
After seeing the scene in the office she paused: my one hand was resting on the desk and on the other hand I was holding a picture book with an unsightly cover showing the princess who was covering her eyes(though she was not covering it completely).
The student froze for two seconds, and before I could come up with a reasonable explanation, she closed the door as if going back in time.
That day, the rumor spread all over the Academy that I forced the princess to read the restricted books.
