CH 51

For the time being, the traffic light trio were all released without being given any charge. Thank goodness, thank goodness.

“Amanda.”

“What?”

But just as we were leaving, one of the traffic light trio, the slightly chubby yellow-san stopped and called Amanda-san.

I wonder if he is quite close with Amanda-san?

“That…  Apparently, Father will be coming, but I wonder if it will be alright?”

“As long as you don’t mind, it’s fine.”

Amanda-san hopelessly said, but yellow-san lightly cast down his eyes.

“But, I have to tell your story to Father—”

“Geez. It isn’t your fault, is it? Don’t worry about it for so long.”

“U-uhn. But if there’s anything, I can be of help, so…”

“Thank you, Lansley.”

“Then, see you.”

“Yeah.”

After saying that, the chubby yellow-san left.

Hm hm. It seems there’s some kind of particular circumstances.

However, it isn’t good to stick your nose to where it doesn’t belong.  It’s better for me to feign ignorance.

Thinking like that, I patted Noir who was in my arms. Then, Amanda-san had a wry smile on her face as she explained.

“He is Count Rainier’s son.”

Eeeeeeh?!

That black-bellied raccoon old man?

However, he has such a kind-looking face. He is not alike his father at all.

“And he’s also my senior partner during my student days.”

“Partner?”

According to Amanda-san’s explanation, there should be a royal academy in this Ars kingdom. And the academy is divided into knight department and magic department. It’s been decided that noble men will definitely enroll in that academy.

Of course noble women also enroll in that academy, but if their houses are far away from the royal capital, it looks like that they will get private tutoring in their own houses instead.

Not only nobles are enrolled in that academy, but children of the wealthy merchants also enrol there, and that’s why Amanda-san enrolled there.

“Yeah. In the academy, a pair between a senior student and a junior student will be made. Normally, we will be paired with member of the same gender, but not many women enrol in the academy, so there are some women who are paired with men just like me.”

I see. Is that so.

Since Amanda-san was paired with the chubby yellow-san who was Count Rainier’s son, his father had an eye on her.

Certainly, he couldn’t blame himself for that, then.

“Moreover, you see. Before he was paired with me, Lansley was paired with Georg. Unfortunately, Georg and I passed by each other since he graduated by the time I enrolled. Then, Lansley came to the Izel fort as he idolized Georg, and then I came here since Lansley invited me. That’s why, don’t you think it’s fate for me and Georg to meet in this Izel fort like this, since we shouldn’t have met?”

Amanda-san crossed her arms as she blushed. No matter how I looked at her, she is definitely a maiden in love.

But, hmm?

For some reason, something bothered me.

After all, Amanda-san really loves Georg-san, right? I wonder if Georg-san’s type of woman is completely different from her? Because Amanda-san is beautiful and has a good personality, yet nothing happened between the two of them.

However, there are lots of Georg-san’s handmade items in Amanda-san’s room, like his handmade cushion and sewn curtain.

Then, I wonder if he made those items for her because he also likes her? Still, he didn’t confess to Amanda-san…

It’s totally puzzling, but…

C-could this be, perhaps, by some chance…

A love triangleeeee?!

Amanda-san and Georg-san’s feelings should be mutual, but could it be that he held his confession back out of consideration for the chubby yellow-san who was his close friend and junior?

And, Amanda-san completely didn’t notice the chubby yellow-san’s feelings, huh?

The chubby yellow-san wanted to support Amanda-san’s love but he couldn’t because he himself also fell in love with her. Then, at that time, his father said that he wished to have Amanda-san as his second wife, huh?

Whoa, it looks like a drama!

“After one graduates from the academy, even if one is the successor of a noble, one has to join the chivalric order for two years at the very least. But normally, a noble’s legitimate child would want to join the royal capital’s chivalric order or the Imperial Guards’ chivalric order, and not a frontier chivalric order. That’s why, I think Lansley certainly didn’t want to join Izel fort. But thanks to that, I was introduced to Georg, so as expected, Georg and I are really connected by the red thread of fate!”

I see. The chubby yellow-san introduced Amanda-san to Georg-san.

If the chubby yellow-san truly liked Amanda-san, then it would be very complicated.

As I was thinking about it, Ar-niisama who finished lecturing Frank-san went to my side.

“Yuuri, have you visited the stalls?”

“Not yet.”

“Then, would you want to visit them with me?”

“Of course! Ya-y! So happy!”

“There is a delicious sweet stall over there.”

S-sweets?!

I want to eat them~!
