“Ah, classmate Angelica.” Then suddenly Princess Alyssa looked over my shoulder.
I turned my head and saw the half-elf girl I met last night—Angelica, was coming down the corridor with her textbook.
“Good Morning, classmate Angelica.” Princess Alyssa greeted her with a smile.
However, Angelica just glanced at her coldly and didn’t respond at all.
Then she looked back at me.
“Morning, good morning” I tried to greet her.
A slight smile appeared on her face, gently nodded to me, and passed by us.
Princess Alyssa stared at Angelica’s leaving back, then she suddenly looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Classmate Brock!”
“What, what happened?”
“Why does Angelica, the Angelica who is indifferent to everyone, smiled at you? What happened between you guys?”
“Nothing. Just had dinner together and chatted a few words ”
Princess Alyssa was even more surprised: “chat?” Did she speak with you?
“No, she wrote instead of speaking.”
“So, it was like that….” princess Alyssa nodded thoughtfully, “at least, it sounds like she is a little closer to you, it’s great. At least it seems that she is willing to communicate…” there was a look of relief on her face.
“You care about her that much.”
“Yes, although she is a half-elf who grew up in a human village, she is now one of our people since she came here. I hope that she can like this country. It was I who went to her village with border guards to bring her here.”
So that’s why she is particularly concerned about Angelica, it was not only because of her kindness but also due to her sense of responsibility as the future successor of the country’s leader.
“But to be honest, I don’t think she is happy here…” she said, dropping her eyes, “classmate Brock, I’ve heard that recently she seems to be getting bullied more.”
“Is it that girl named Felina again?” In my mind, the face of the blonde fool who gave me the challenge letter and was defeated by me came.
“Yes, some students witnessed her being forcibly taken away by Felina yesterday. When she came back, she was all wet. I’m afraid Felina did something extreme…”
“This…. Is there no one in charge? What are the academy people doing?” I couldn’t help frowning.
That bad blonde hair fool should be because of losing the duel with me the day before yesterday, is releasing anger on Angelica…
Yesterday, Angelica appeared in the forest, was it really just for a walk?
“In fact, earlier the academy had specifically arranged teachers to deal with this matter. They asked Angelica about this, but she refused to say anything. If she refuses to testify… then even if others want to help, they wouldn’t be able to help her. ” princess Alyssa shook her head bitterly.
“Why? Is she being threatened with something?…”
“I don’t know. No one can get the reason from her mouth. Well, classmate Brock, if you can, I wonder, if you can…” princess Alyssa paused.
“I can ask her something about it,” I said her sentence.
“Yes, if she opens up to you…”
“I don’t think she trusts me to that extent, but if I get the chance, I’ll give it a try.”
“Then sorry for the inconvenience.” princess Alyssa bowed to me.
“It’s okay.”
After all, the fact that her getting bullied has intensified might have something to do with me.
Inadvertently, I turned my head and looked in the direction of Angelica’s departure.
The half-elf figure was no longer there.
