CH 86

Cain left the dining hall and tried to return to the room but he reconsidered and came to the room where the supervisor who manages the dormitory, the so-called dormitory supervisor, was. It was written in the dormitory guide that it also served as a store selling the necessities in the dormitory.

“Hello. May I know if the supervisor is here?”

A small window was installed facing the corridor, a board protruded from under the window like a counter instead of a table. He opened the window, called out while peering inside, but there was no reply. 

Cain wondered if the business hadn’t started yet because it was before the entrance ceremony, but he thought back that it wouldn’t happen because the dormitory was already in operation. Maybe they were busy because a lot of people were coming into the dormitory that day. He waited for a while but there was no sign of anyone returning to the office, so he decided to give it up that day and closed the small window, and returned to his room. 

“You’re late. Sorry to say this when you just came back, but please leave for a while.”

As soon as he opened the door of the room, Julian who had returned earlier said so. Julian was on the bed, sitting side by side with an unknown girl and hugging her hips.

“What are you doing, Julian-sama?”

“As you can see, I’m having a fun chat with this cute girl.”

“May I know who she is?”

“I’m about to get into that. I was ambushed earlier, so I brought her here because she said she wanted to get closer with me. We’ll be spending some time alone so please leave the room for a while.”

What was this man,  who was made to say I love you to Shirley Leah a hundred times earlier, was saying? Cain couldn’t understand.

“I can’t just leave a man with a fiancé and an unmarried woman alone in a closed room. I don’t know if the lady there has a fiancée or not, but even if she has one or not, Julian-sama has Shirley Leah-sama, don’t you? I can’t overlook this.” 

The lady who was trying to be alone with Julian who had a fiancée was also questionable. If it was rumored that due to giving into the temptation, she had been touched by Julian, wouldn’t it be that if she had a fiancée then it would be called off and if she didn’t have one, it would become an obstacle to finding a new fiancée. 

“Well, Cain’s country is monogamous. In Yum, for Maquis and above, you can have up to three wives, and the royal family can have up to three consorts. In other words, it is definitely settled that Shirley Leah is the lawful wife, and it’s not considered cheating until I have three more fiancés! “

“……Is that so”

“Rest assured. I won’t do something unscrupulous that would result in a child. It’s just getting to know each other to become better acquainted.”

Cain was not assured at all even after hearing Julian’s excuse. 

To begin with, there was an example of Arundilano who got closer to the protagonist while having Diana as a fiancée and ended up eventually igniting the romance and abandoning Diana. He did not feel good about the lady who hit on Julian who had Shirley Leah as a fiancée, and he also did not feel good about Julian who was trying to flirt with a woman other than his fiancée while saying that there were three more to go and the likes. 

“You are saying that you won’t do anything unscrupulous and would just want to be better acquainted, so there is no need to kick me out, isn’t it? I will be facing my desk, quietly doing preparation for the lesson so please feel free to get better acquainted. I’m opening the door. It would be troublesome if there’s a rumor that two men attacked her or the likes of it.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Cain… You’re being too serious.” 

Cain entered the room with the door opened, lifted up the chair in front of Julian’s desk and brought it to the hallway, placed the chair in place of the door stopper to prevent the door from closing. Then he sat down at his seat, picked up the textbook that was distributed earlier, and flipped through the content. 

He was eager to skip grades so he wanted to get a rough idea of how much he would study in a year. Although he was told by Professor Yannis that they had basically completed the level of the six grades education system, it didn’t mean that the education standard was the same as the Royal Aristocratic Academy of Siriyum. The literary lessons were of course a foreign language for Cain, so the difficulty was higher. For history and geography, it can be said that it was the same start as other first-year students. 

“Cain …”

More than anything, most Siriyum’s people can’t use magic. In Limuto Break, where magic had become familiar in everyday life, there should be magic lessons at school, but at the Royal Aristocratic Academy of Siriyum, there was no magic lesson. There were art lessons, it made sense to participate in these but it didn’t have much relation to skipping grades. 

“Hey, Cain.”

He was praised by his private tutors for progressing his study to the extent that it was enough to be able to graduate, but it seemed like it was the case if he had gone to a school at Limuto Break, but he found out that if he went to another country, it wasn’t something that he could actually consider as an advantage. 

Even so, there were common subjects such as arithmetic, nature, physics, and biology, so it would be possible to secure study time around that. With this and that, Cain was thinking about his future plans for study. While ignoring the intense glare that was directed to his back. 

“That… I will come back again later. Farewell, His Royal Highness Prince Julian.”

“Yes. See you again at school.”

At last, maybe because she couldn’t stand the situation, the lady stood up, said her greeting, and got out of the room. Seeing from the way he simply nodded to her greeting when she exited the room, Julian didn’t seem to have much interest in the lady to the extent that he would stop her from leaving. 

When the lady left and her footsteps could no longer be heard, Cain stood up and brought the chair that was keeping the door open and placed it back, and went back to sit down at his seat and started flipping the textbook. 

“In your country, it may be respected to be monogamous and love one person, but it’s different here, Cain. It’s a country where there’s a wonderful rule to be able to enjoy romance while having a political marriage in order to have a connection between the houses. Don’t get in the way, Cain. “

Julian started to complain. Cain sighed, twisted his upper body, rested his arm on the back of the chair, and turned his face toward Julian.

“Can a woman also have multiple husbands?”

“They can’t. Only one man can have multiple wives. Because it’s the man’s duty to work to support the house and earn money to feed his family and servants.”

“Then, the one that can enjoy romance while having a political marriage is only men, isn’t it.”

“Hmph.”

Inside of Cain, Shirley Leah overlapped with “Game Diana”. If polygamy was allowed in Yum, it would mean that there would be no cancellation of engagement or bestowing women to older man though. To begin with, if a third wife is allowed up to the Marquis, it would mean that the counts, viscounts, and barons were monogamous. There may be a reason behind this, but Cain can only see it as authoritative men being able to play around with women legally.

“To begin with, girls are not allowed to enter the boy’s dormitory. The same goes for the opposite. That’s already an issue before talking about whether it is cheating or not.”

“Cain is thick headed. You’re not going to be popular being so rigid like that.”

“It’s fine even if I’m not popular.”

Cain did not have any interest in looking for a lover or a fiancé in the neighboring country. He was told that he could come back if he found a marriage partner, but Cain, who had decided to protect Diana from the villainess path, could not have been able to choose a girl at his own discretion or the likes of it, just for the sake of returning home.
