Event: Campus Ball

Noble servants are rushing around in the school building. In preparation for the ball that will take place today. The girls are particularly busy preparing for the sunny stage. That is why the servants are busy.

The ball held by the institute is positioned as a part of a class to acquire the taste of a noble family, but the content is only the content, the actual situation is every festival, and it is the largest event in the institute .

And that's the same in games. This is one of the major turning points in the hero's progress.

Unusually, Prince Arnold, standing alone in the school, hiding behind the scenes, does not know. However, I am thinking of today's ball as a festival event of the school. However, Prince Arnold also wanted to make this event a turning point.

For that reason, I was looking for the target person, but I couldn't find a figure, and was in trouble. The girls are in the dressing room for the day to change their clothes and make up. Prince Arnold knows it, and usually looks for a servant who doesn't want to see his face, but he can't find it.

This is a misconception that is not like Prince Arnold. When it comes to changing clothes and makeup, that is, of course, the role of a maid. A servant cannot help. The servant of interest is not here, but in the changing room for boys, to help the original Lord. And Prince Arnold does not know the face of the maid. This makes it almost impossible to find out before the ball begins.

It was just time, and when Prince Arnold gave up what seemed impossible, he heard the voice.

"What kind of face are she doing now?"

"Isn't it surely blue? Is it crying?"

"Is that a woman who would cry for such a thing? I wasn't crying no matter what she was doing, was she grinning?"

"Yeah, I'm really stupid. I have a lot of nice boys who can help me, it's different from you."

"... Isn't that said?"

"I feel like that."

"That's right. I feel like I'm looking down."

"Well?"

Prince Arnold is stunned by the conversation, which tells the fear of a woman who can not be seen on the table, what a fuss.

But I quickly understood the meaning of the conversation between the girls. They said that they did something terrible enough to make them cry.

Who is it? I immediately understood the answer.

"... Arnold?"

Prince Arnold shook his shoulders astounded by a voice hung over his back. I don't know what misunderstanding such as hiding behind a schoolgirl's changing room.

If you think it's okay, don't do it, or vice versa, but that's now.

"That ... Maria."

That doesn't mean she can be found because she is Maria, but she's better than finding a schoolgirl she never talks to.

Prince Arnold recalled a little relievedly and turned to the voice.

"……What are you doing?"

Maria, seen by Prince Arnold, is leaning out of a small window. He had bare shoulders and arms, looked at it, and seemed to wear nothing.

"Oh, I was trying to change into a dress, but that dress ..."

Suddenly, Maria's face turns into a sad one. With this alone, Prince Arnold knew the situation. Maria was the conversation partner of the schoolgirls.

"Is it broken?"

"……Yes"

"Really……"

Prince Arnold had also heard that Mary was being bullied. Lancelot had been prosperous. But when Arnold was told that the backdrop of oppression to Mary was Eriel, it was not true that it was not true.

But at least it turned out that the punishment for Mary really existed. For Prince Arnold, this is a fact I didn't want to know.

"that……"

She feels depressed and calls out to Prince Arnold, who is facing down, as Maria fears.

"……What?"

"Maybe it's for me?"

"eh?"

"Is the dress in the box I have in my hand?"

"Oh, oh. But ..."

The big box that Prince Arnold was holding aside. The contents were certainly a dress. Why did Maria know that?

Because it is such an event. In the game, the dresses are prepared so that she cares for Maria who can't buy a new dress and does not embarrass her at the ball. It is an event that will lead to great progress between Maria and Prince Arnold.

"I'm glad. Arnold would dress for me ..."

Maria, who knows the game, decides that the dress is her own.

"Oh no, this is"

"Turn to the table, it's the second door."

Maria told her that she had withdrawn. Prince Arnold was stunned for a while in an unexpected situation.

"This is ..... oh ... I can't help ..."

While leaving such a muttering, she headed to the changing room where Maria waited.

◇◇◇

The time for the start of the ball has long passed. The key protagonists do not appear.

The king of the kingdom and his fiance are available. It is natural for the two sides to think that they are going to do first dance.

However, even at the time of the start, Prince Arnold does not appear at all. What's more, our partner, Aeriel, has just arrived at the venue. Even without Airiel's ill will, the feelings of the turbulence spread to the participants' hearts.

And that feeling becomes reality.

Next to Prince Arnold who appeared at the venue, there was a figure of Maria in a dress that seemed to be well prepared.

The appearance of Prince Arnold, dressed as a royal royal, colored in black on a black background, and Maria, dressed in a solid white dress, seem to have escaped from the painting. The beauty is breathtaking for everyone. It would be so. They are the main character of the girl game and their opponents. It can't be wrong.

With the appearance of those two people, the performance naturally starts flowing to the venue. Maria was pulled lightly, and while embarrassing, Prince Arnold advanced to the center. I'm actually puzzled, but when I look around, I can only see ashamed.

Following the performance, the first dance by Prince Arnold and Maria began slowly. The splendor leaks naturally from all over the venue. Except for one corner of the venue.

In the corner where Aeriel was, not only did he sigh, but everyone around him was suffocating. Sympathy for Eriel who was deprived of the first dance, and anger at Maria who did it. Though different in thought, none of the students around could call out to Eriel.

In this situation, only two people can call out to Eriel. One of them is not in a position to attend the ball, so the remaining one will do it.

"... Let's dance after a long time?"

"eh?"

Vincent's first call seemed to strike Aeriel unexpectedly.

"No, I don't think she's been dancing for so long."

"Yeah ... but are you alright?"

"that is……"

Vincent has been trying to overcome many problems with his steady efforts, but there are some talents that are so insignificant that they can't help.

That is dance. Too badly, Rion has always been the opponent of Eriel's dance practice.

"Good. It's good practice for my brother."

"Yes, then, my dear sister, can you dance with me?"

"Yes, pleased."

Vincent grabbed Aeriel's hand and proceeded to the center. Unfortunately, this is the end of my brother's cool look.

If the opponent is not Airiel, the steps are so different that you may have fallen. A place where you are leading your opponent, or Eriel is being warned of each and every move.

Couscous and laughter leak from the surroundings, too much mercy. The tension at the venue was resolved at once.

At the end of the day, while dancing, Aeriel got angry and crawled and crawled.

The time of humiliation and the surroundings are perceived by the House of Winheels, but they are said.

"It was a place where he was laughing because of his brother."

"Isn't that good? 笑 If you enjoy it, just laugh."

He enjoyed dancing as much as he wanted, different from other people.

"Ladies don't open their mouths and laugh in public. Is this a social event, albeit a school event?"

"That's right. Can you enjoy yourself in such a tough place?"

"Yes ..."

Suddenly, they began to think of social situations as stiff. This is because they have learned the joy that cannot be obtained through exchanges just before the construction.

"Would you like to go to a less formal place?"

"eh?"

"People who can't participate in this place seem to be arbitrarily excited at another place. I'm invited, so will you come along?"

"... but"

"You can leave the Crown Prince's partner to that woman. Anyway, if you get married, you'll have to deal with it even if you don't want to."

"My brother, that's a bit of a problem."

"Is that so? Even so, I just want to have fun."

"If you have a brother"

It is for myself that I am showing off. Aeriel realizes that Vincent is quite angry at heart.

Leave the fiancee to treat another woman. This is nothing but an act of humiliating Eriel. Vincent can't forgive the malice directed at his beloved sister.

Still, he's just saying nothing because he's the prince. And because I can't say anything, my anger doesn't go away.

There is one way to rule. I have no choice but to have a good time with my companion and distract me.

As soon as the ball started, their appearance disappeared from the venue.

◇◇◇

Even after Aeriel and Vincent disappeared from the venue, the ball continues, though obvious. Prince Arnold, who had to dance with Maria as a result, realized that he had finally prepared herself halfway, and was greatly impatient.

Vincent grabbed his hand and noticed that he was seeing Aeriel in the hall. Anything, such as sympathy or ridicule, is not a good glance at the Prince's fiance.

Finally, Eriel got angry, stopped dancing and pulled up halfway. It was increasingly changing the gaze around them.

These are all my faults.

I know I should go to Eriel right away, but the dance doesn't end right away. Even though I thought it was finally over, I had to dance one more song to the voice of Angkor, which grew out of nowhere. It's an insatiable habit of trying to meet the expectations of others, just indecision, and in any case, the second song is completely self-sufficient with no excuse.

After the encore was over, I thought I could finally go to Aeriel, but I couldn't find the essential Aeriel. While searching for where he was, he was caught by Charlotte and danced. It's a bit terrible to get caught When he was away from Airiel, Prince Arnold was always Charlotte's partner.

For that reason, I could not refuse, dancing with Charlotte, and furthermore, Eriel was left behind.

This may also be a force in game settings. This event is the event that finally recognizes the relationship between Maria and Prince Arnold. On the other hand, rival character Aeriel is a typical setting where she intends to harass Mary but on the contrary she is ashamed.

The only difference from the game is that Prince Arnold's feelings are in Aeriel and not yet Maria. The world will move to correct this gap.

◇◇◇

Away from the ballroom, Prince Arnold was walking toward the school's backyard.

When he managed to shake his surroundings and asked someone who seemed to be aware of Eriel's location, he said that he had gone somewhere with Vincent.

I don't know the specific location, but the conversation between the two shows that an event is taking place apart from the ball, and again this time, when I ask the operator, He was told that low-ranking people were holding an informal feast.

This is no doubt given the relationship between the two members of the House of Winheels and the students of the commoners. The two knew they had gone.

As I walked to the place where the banquet I was told was going to take place, there was certainly lively music. The venue for banquets of ordinary people is coming soon. Prince Arnold's feet spontaneously sped up.

What emerged was the appearance of Eriel and Rion dancing happily in the light of the fire.

(It's also! Why is that guy always ?!)

The impatience of having angered Airiel has turned into the anger of why you are dancing happily despite your impatience.

It's not unreasonable anger. Prince Arnold's feelings for Aeriel are serious. It is not wrong to mourn why your thoughts do not reach.

The problem, however, was trying to push all of its responsibilities only to the other person.

Prince Arnold drew his sword from his waist and went into the circle of people.

The situation was immediately recognized by the students. The delightful people stop chatting and the fear of what will happen produces a voice that cannot be spoken.

Prince Arnold looks straight at Rion, looking straight at the students.

Leon has long noticed Prince Arnold. And what Prince Arnold is trying to do.

On the other hand, there is nothing that Rion can do. Don't do anything. Rion gently decided.

Swung up sword. The sword is swung straight down over Rion's head. A scream came out of someone's mouth imagining the tragedy that would be caused.

Following the scream was Prince Arnold's moaning.

"... sirs"

The downed sword is stopped by a stick protruding from the side. It's a stick that Vincent gave me. Fortunately, it was a ceremonial sword.

And there was another one blocking Prince Arnold's sword.

Aeriel stands in front of Prince Arnold with his hands outstretched, protecting Lion.

"Reject it, Airiel!"

"I won't retreat!"

"Can't I hear my order !?"

"... I can't listen!"

"You are my fiance! Why do you protect such a man!"

"It's a different thing! Why is Prince Arnold turning his sword to Leon !?"

"that is……!"

Because of jealousy, Prince Arnold could not speak. If we could say this in shame, the future might have changed.

No, it would not have been. This world cannot forgive it.

"Vincent"

Prince Arnold spoke of Vincent's name. He ran away from dealing with Airiel.

"……Yes"

"Sever its servant"

"I can't do that ..."

"I am ordering"

"Even if so, I can't cut off the servant for no reason."

"The reason is disrespect for the royal family. It's a reason for truncation."

"But what does Lion do ..."

"Is the Winheal Hou facing the royal family?"

"Oh, that's ..."

This is truly unreasonable. Vincent can't say anything when he is called his parents' family and is said to be rebelling against the royal family.

But there is another mouth here. That is unfortunate for Vincent.

"What a disrespect. If Leon is disrespectful, you are sinful."

"Who! What did you say right now?"

Vincent shouted. This is a message to the surroundings that says nothing more. The students who know it look away from Vincent and have an unknown face.

But that won't stop Prince Arnold. The word now is, without doubt, a mockery of the royal family, an event that must be truly charged with blasphemy. And Prince Arnold had never been treated like this by others.

"Give me what I said right away."

"... I don't know anyone."

"Is there such a thing !?"

"Please, please indicate the measure of His Imperial Highness."

"Why should I show such a thing !?"

"Somehow ..."

Vincent kneeled on the ground and bowed deeply until he reached the ground. Not just Vincent. Subsequently, Aeriel and, of course, Rion are in the same position.

"I don't think the anger of the Crown Prince will go away in this way, but please forgive me."

What surprised me was not Prince Arnold, but the students who were watching him. Even though they are close friends, Vincent is a man of the Three Houses, the pinnacle of the country's nobility. Even in front of me, I couldn't believe that something was going on to go underground to protect someone in them.

And when it came to our longing for noble, noble Aeriel. With excitement, the anger at Prince Arnold, who made Eriel imitate this way, began to sprout.

Vincent's actions were clearly counterproductive.

"……forgive"

Nevertheless, Prince Arnold did this because he felt that the surroundings had become so disturbing.

"Thank you"

When Vincent bowed and raised his head, Prince Arnold was turning his back and leaving.

This should not be enough to settle down. I was forced to forgive against my will. Such thoughts are only humiliation for Prince Arnold. And you will be remorseful of Vincent who let you taste such humiliation.

On this day, Maria can finally hear the long-awaited words from Prince Arnold. That's the word of breaking engagement with Airiel.

That is not all. Prince Arnold has said that the two members of the House of Winheels are disturbed by the royal family. Hearing that, Lancelot, and how excited Elwin, another Winheel lord, was.

The world is making steady progress toward the last event of the institute.
