Academy’s Second Seat

Academy Winter Prom.

It was an academy event at the end of the year.

An event to commend the efforts made during the year for academic achievement and wash away the fatigue.

It was a banquet enjoyed by both professors and students alike.

Of course, it is difficult to say that such a ball is an ordinary event.

Inside, there were people with false smiles and hiding swords in their tongues.

There were people who genuinely enjoyed the ball, but no one could refute the statement that the ball was a hotbed of Academy politics.

This ball was the end of the year and the beginning of a new year.

Academy Politics.

How the next year was going to go was decided at this ball.

This is because, depending on how the atmosphere of this ball goes, the next year’s student council president or someone who will be noticed is decided.

I really didn’t like this atmosphere.

If I was just an ordinary person, I would have ignored this political board at the ball.

However, now I wanted to ignore it, but I couldn’t ignore it.

I am the son of a duke.

Surely there will be people who will stick to me like a mountain.

So I made a plan.

“Oh, it’s cold… … .”

I was standing in front of the ballroom with my coat over my black suit.

I didn’t know much at first, but there were more clothes in my luggage than I thought.

There were many kinds of fancy suits and comfortable suits, but it seemed appropriate to wear a black suit because it was a prom.

And when I said I was going to the ball, many maids came in to help me.

They are the maids in the dormitory.

I don’t usually talk to them, but they came into my room saying they would help out for the prom.

They came to me and gave me a facial, and I got all kinds of services related to my appearance, including hair and makeup.

It was the first time I tried to manage my appearance, and it felt awkward.

However, the appearance itself felt a lot better than usual, so it wasn’t too bad.

But, awkward was awkward.

I was uncomfortable with a stiff suit, so I kept changing my clothes and fiddling with my fixed hair.

When it was so awkward, I heard a voice.

“Rudy!”

It was Luna’s voice.

When I turned my head, I saw Luna wearing a coat.

He was wearing a very long coat, so he had no idea what he was wearing, but his hair was neatly organized than usual.

Behind them, Rika and Ena were walking slowly.

“Hi-Hi… … .”

“Okay… … .”

Rika was smiling brightly as if she didn’t know anything, but Ena next to her was frowned as if she didn’t like something.

“Rudy, have you been waiting long? It was very cold.”

“Well? Nope. I’ve been waiting for a while.”

I shook my head.

Then he stared at Luna’s face.

It was a face I had seen so often, so I didn’t notice it very much, but seeing her decorated like this, my feelings changed a little.

“You’re beautiful, Luna.”

I smiled softly and said to Luna.

Then Luna’s eyes widened.

Luna waved her arms in embarrassment.

“Aww, that, ah! Go, thank you! Rudy… … !”

Luna said so and gave me a thumbs up.

“Lou, Rudy is great too!”

“ha… … .”

After Luna said those words, Ena sighed heavily from behind.

I smiled softly at Luna’s words and raised my thumb just like Luna.

“thank you.”

“Ehehe… … .”

When I said that, Luna smiled haphazardly and scratched her head.

Anna came to us like that and opened her mouth.

“It’s cold now, would you like to go inside?”

“No, there are still people left to come.”

I couldn’t go into the ballroom like this.

My plan.

I was planning to make sure no one came near me.

With this minority, I was afraid that others would come to me.

So there were the guys I needed.

As I was thinking about it, familiar people were coming from over there.

“Senior, how have you been?”

“Uh, yeah, it’s been a while. Rudy.”

That person was Borval.

And behind him was Locke.

Locke and Borval.

I was planning to use them both as my shield.

In the case of Locke, when we were with him, he was really not a big deal, but still, he was the son of a changer.

He was a guy with a higher status than others.

And Borval is a talented person who stood out in the last individual practice evaluation and joint practice.

Also, being a Borval who aspires to be a teaching assistant, his influence in the academy could not be ignored.

Originally, Lie and Astina had to meet, but Lier said that she appeared a little late because of her position as a princess, and Astina was preparing for her year-end speech.

I thought that if there were people who knew this level of status, it would be impossible for a stranger to approach me.

“Now, shall we go in?”

I said looking at everyone.

Things got a little weird.

“Rudy! Look at this! These cookies are so pretty!”

“Yes.”

Luna fluttering around in her white dress.

The bright face and the innocence of Luna stood out.

When I saw Luna like that, my father’s smile automatically appeared on my lips.

However, this was the problem.

“there… … .”

“… … yes?”

A man approached Luna and talked to her.

I slowly walked behind Luna like that.

“Do you have anything to say to Luna?”

“Oh, no! sorry!”

When I spoke, the man opened his eyes and ran away.

Then Luna looked at me and smiled.

“Ehehe… … . Thanks, Rudy!”

“Nope… … .”

This has already happened several times.

Luna entered the banquet hall with pure eyes.

Every time that happened, the men kept getting tangled up.

People with political reasons didn’t come to us, but strange men kept getting entangled with Luna.

Even though Nana Locke and Borval were nearby, the men kept getting tangled up,

There was something I overlooked.

The fact that Luna is an attractive woman and the fact that men have great courage when they have a woman they like.

Especially now, the problem was that Luna stood out more than other people.

The banquet hall is a political arena.

That’s why everyone felt tired of the world.

Everyone puts on a fake smile and tries to show off their elegant side.

He hides his inner self, and all his words are metaphorical and spoken in reverse.

Unlike these people, Luna has a really pleasant and innocent smile.

It felt like there was a fresh flower among the formative flowers.

Once it had already happened, I couldn’t just sit around and watch it.

Luna just came here to play, so I’m going to make it so that Luna can play without discomfort.

If I keep standing behind them, the men won’t come.

I didn’t like the men who tried to talk to Luna.

It couldn’t have been a good idea since the guys who had never been interested in Luna suddenly started talking to Luna.

It just meant that he didn’t intend to approach Luna just because he wanted to get to know him.

As a result, I followed Luna like an escort.

Time passed quickly, and the proper start of the banquet was approaching.

“uh.”

With someone’s voice, everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance.

The person who appears at the end before the start of the banquet as if he were the main character of the banquet.

it was lee

“Well?”

Seeing Lie’s attire, I tilted my head.

A gorgeous dress with a mix of red and black.

and short length.

Li too was worried about her dress being too short, so she kept touching her skirt and trying to slide it down slightly.

The golden blonde and red dress together drew everyone’s attention.

However, it was a different outfit from the usual Rie style.

Short skirts and gorgeous colors.

It was Li, who usually wore a casual style in her own style.

But today, she came wearing an unusual and colorful style.

I suddenly lost my appetite, wondering why he was there.

However, the style was not unusual.

It was pretty enough and attracted people’s attention.

It was just that he was questioning his clothes that were different from usual.

So Rie slowly walked into the banquet hall.

Then, a large number of people approached Rie as she entered the banquet hall.

“You are so beautiful. Princess.”

“Five… … Isn’t this dress fashionable in the capital city!”

Those people poured praises on Li.

“Yes, it’s a dress I brought from the capital.”

Rie had a slightly awkward smile on her face, but she started conversing with them in an elegant tone as usual.

It seemed a bit difficult to get to right now.

Li said that he was coming this way after talking to people for a while.

you’ll know what

I wanted to go up to Lie and ask about her outfit, but I turned my head when I saw that I was surrounded by too many people.

And I looked at Luna.

Luna was staring blankly at Rie with her mouth open.

“Luna?”

“Geek!”

When I called Luna’s name, Luna responded with a strange sound.

I looked at Luna like that and asked.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, nothing!”

Luna waved her hand as if it was nothing.

He waved his hands like that, then suddenly stopped and looked at me.

Luna stared at my face and opened her mouth quietly.

“Rudy… … . Well, there’s one thing I want to ask you… … .”

“Well?”

I stared at Luna like that.

“What? Ask anything.”

“Lee… … pretty… … ?”

Luna raised her head slightly and pointed to Li.

I nodded at Luna’s words.

“Well… … Are you pretty? Even though I’m usually a little shy, when I look at it from a distance like this, I wonder if she’s still a princess.”

Lee is beautiful

No one can refute this.

Even now, everyone looked up to Rie and approached Rie to share one more word.

They all looked possessed, like insects attracted to attractive flowers.

“Rudy said I was pretty too.”

“uh… … ?”

“then… … .”

Luna took a step closer to me and raised her head to meet my eyes.

“I’m pretty, Rie is pretty?”

Luna said, putting her hands on her chest.
