04 The school prince and the hunchback
I - Lenore Milian was nervous.
It's been a long time since I've been to school.
And the girls' uniforms.
It's a good idea to make sure that you're not going to be the only one who has to go to the school.
I've been trying to keep my appearance as Vee's hunchback, but it's different when it comes to being a woman.
The maids say, "Make me look pretty without being ridiculous! I asked him to help me get ready early in the morning, and I let him help me get ready for a long time.
"Did you see a girl like that?
"Cute ......
Hey, man, talk to me.
I've also corrected the way I walked during the retreat and learned the movements of a lady, though it's a hobby, and I walked neatly and neatly, and none of the students noticed that I was Lenore Milian herself, who was cursed to become a woman.
...... What am I fighting against?
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time and effort.
'Lenore!'
When Vee, aka Prince Vincent, spotted me, he smiled and ran over to me.
Vee, what are you doing here?
"You said Lenore was coming. I was waiting.
Prince Vincent, who is now in the midst of the moment, ran up to the unseen woman with a smile, it is normal for the area to be buzzing.
As if to escort me, she supports my waist and leads me to the classroom.
You can hear the screeching of the ladies and I'm scared to death. ......!
As for me, I would have liked to come back a little more quietly if I could: .......
"Who? I wonder if she is a former royal princess. ......
"Dear Vincent, I knew I had a boyfriend. ......
I've never seen a prince with a smile like that before. ......
--...... I thought so, but surprisingly, the ladies were quiet.
'Isn't the ladies quiet when there's a stranger in the vicinity of Vee?
Could it be that he has learned to weigh himself a little more from the curse incident committed by the same daughter?
"I've already cut off all the women who came near me because of your presence to the point that they no longer come near me.
"Nah, ......!
It's going to happen right away: ......!
My daughter has a dad behind her, you idiot!
(You'll have to check out the daughter Vee did and follow up with her to say 'I'm nervous because of the curse'. ......)
I got to the classroom with a headache as soon as I could.
'What? Who ......! International students ......!
"Or, cute ......
"It's dainty. ......
I wondered how to cut into the buzzing classroom, but in this kind of situation, if you are shy, you will lose.
I'm Lenore Millian, who was absent from school until recently. I'm not going to be the same as before, but I'm looking forward to working with you.
Rei was a stone's throw and a man's bow.
I raised my head and saw my classmates full of surprised faces.
'Ma......! Jeez! I did hear that Lenore Mirian was indeed cursed to take Prince Vincent's place!
"That's so cute! Dear Lenore! Your skin is clean because you don't have any makeup problems!
"What the hell? You know, I'm starting to think you're a little nice to guys!
"Ha, ha. ......
Classmates, with whom I hadn't interacted that much, approached me, but Vee, who was behind me, caught me as I stepped back and prevented me from being pressed.
It's impolite to approach the prince, so Vee just talks to me from a certain distance, and it varies.
One classmate ran out of the classroom and spread out, and at once the outside of the classroom was filled with people.
'Wow, that's a pantaloons?
Totally fine.
But it's a man.
"Now that's a girl!
It's a complete freak show.
It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to make a good impression.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
It is usually my job to disperse them,......, but for me, it's "don't get carried away, you sucker! I was saying back to you, but Vee would have calmed me down with a single word: ...... and I was shown the difference in the power of speech.
I'm sure you'll find that Vee is protecting you just as he said in "Don't worry about it".
You'll be able to find a lot of people who are not sure whether they spoke or not, but they are talking to you.
Do you remember me? I've been with you on a charge.
"Ha, ha. ......
"Haha! What a waste! Really man! If it were a woman, I would definitely go out with you! Oh, now it's a woman.
"............
I don't mean to brag, but I used to be Vee's crony, a hater who excludes anyone who gets close to Vee and doesn't have proper friends.
Hey Lenore!
Lenore often speaks of Mr. Vincent--......
I'm sure no one has ever seen it as "Lenore Millian" in the perception of "Prince's Cronies".
I'm not a fan of the attention I'm getting right now.
It's not just a matter of time before you're in the spotlight, it's also a matter of time before you're in the spotlight.
I was surrounded again by several boys as I was walking down the corridor to go home, and I couldn't pass through because Vee wasn't there, and I was also surrounded behind me to go home, so I couldn't move.
He's a nobleman's monk, he wouldn't do this to a normal young lady.
I was almost a stranger, but the comfort of being an ex-male didn't give me a ladies first.
You're not going to be able to find out what a woman's body is 'like' when it comes to .......
He asks with a grin that has nothing but ulterior motives and a creepy look on his face.
"How about ......, if you ask me,
The discomfort quotient is soaring with crude laughter.
Did you jerk off or something?
It's a difference in perception. The other person probably meant it as a light joke.
But for the first time, I felt like I understood the feelings of a woman who is scared of sexual harassment, who thinks it's 'disgusting'.
'Let me rub your tits or something! And it doesn't lessen!
So is being bowed down surrounded by several almost unknown boys.
It's just plain weird.
When Vee did this to me, I was so euphoric that I thought, "Women are so weak to pleasure," or that I had seen too many pornographic books, but that was because I was Vee, a long-time friend of his, and he was a highly sensitive guy, and now I was surrounded by large men who wanted me to be sexually active, and all I could think about was fear.
It's ...... a little ......
"Why not? You guys know what I'm talking about! You ramble!
Put yourself in the shoes of a woman who is being bombarded with ramblings.
I was just beginning to feel some impatience with the boys who were getting closer and closer to me when the door opened with a loud, broken sound.
'Oh, Prince .......'
Like the somewhat reluctant boys, I was inwardly freaked out by the vee with its murderous eyes.
She was pushing her way between me and the boys, and
"Lenore has promised me that she's going to have a relationship with me in marriage. I have your approval.
"............ Hee!
Then I show you a brooch that was attached to my uniform, presented by royalty.
What? Did you mean it in that sense?
Tell others to think carefully about what will happen to them if they misbehave with my suitor ......
"Ha, hahi!
The boys ran out of the study room to avoid being shot dead by the murderous Vee.
It's a good thing, Vee, because no amount of anger would have worked on me: ......
Vee's anger had not yet subsided when I thanked him for his service, and he was angry with me. I don't understand.
I don't know why you got away from me!
"Why? ......
It's a school, and it would be harder to be with them all the time. There's even a bathroom.
It's been a morning! The whole time you've been talking to a lot of guys ......
She is scratching her head, seemingly unable to contain her anger. It's rare for Vee to be this angry.
'You don't have that many friends!
"Hey, don't be rude,
It's true, though.
"............
"............
...... because I had Lenore all to myself until now.
Impatient.
And.
Still scratching his head lightly, he could not hide his grumpiness.
Eh.
That prince of the world?
The most popular and most popular prince of the continent, who I can't possibly keep to myself?
Are you sulking because you can't keep me to yourself?
"............
My face got a little loose. Dangerous.
I'm a man who lived in a world where it was natural to have a monopoly on everything, so I'm probably sulking because things aren't going the way I want them to, but I'm finally burnt out.
I'm still in the middle of a marriage proposal. ......
I guess I'm irritated by things that aren't working out the way I want them to for the prince who has been getting everything.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's very cute.
"Vee ......
"...... I'm sorry to say that I'm not even engaged yet, and I've been touching Lenore just like those guys.
Vee, from my point of view, is in a similar position and began to feel depressed.
That!
Vee!
I felt a sudden rush of love and the urge to hug her.
Damn it ......, this is what maternal instinct is all about ......!
...... Those guys earlier were definitely creepy, but it's not that Vee didn't like it, it's just that ......
"Really?
When I say this, Vee's dark face instantly lights up.
It's an indescribable feeling of elation to think that I'm raising and lowering Vee's spirits.
So, Vee is fine ......
As I mumbled, my body felt fluffy, or rather fidgety.
"Lenore ......
I can't help but feel happy.
"Ah! But you just told those guys about me and Vee's relationship!
I've got it! I held my head in a pose that said, "You know, I don't think anyone will think you're a man in the future.
I don't know if there won't be guys who will think you're a man and do weird things to you in the future. There's no man in the world who can use you as a bug repellent as I can.
The prince of the continent is too extravagant to be insect repellent.
It's not that you can't see the difference between the two, it's just that you can't see the difference.
But that doesn't mean that she doesn't want to marry Vee, in fact, if she is going to marry him, it will be with Vee.
However, the reason why she couldn't say 'yes' to him was because she was afraid that she would be the only one who would really fall in love with Vee.
Vee, we have to get out of here, don't we?
"Oh ...... is that time already?
I remembered Vee's routine work from my days as a man in Vee's hunchback, and I had already grasped it.
I'm sorry to take up so much of your time. I'm sorry to take up so much of your time, but you're a busy man, Vee.
Since he is expected to be the next king, Vee's life is busy.
It's not that he has any real power yet, but he's still learning how the king works behind the scenes and getting used to it by being assigned simple political tasks.
When I was learning with the king, I was not allowed to be with him, so I was kept in a separate room to study, but when I was given the task, I remember how hard it was to collect materials and help with miscellaneous tasks.
I remember being moved by the fact that Vee had made and would continue to make decisions that would affect people's lives.
I was terribly dazzled, because I'm just a person who obeys, and I was proud that such a person is my slippery slope.
There's no way Vee is going to cut corners on her work that also includes exams, so it would be quite a stretch to take care of me too.
'No, it's like a break from being with Lenore.
"Even worse! Now I have to get him to sleep properly!
When I was so flustered, Vee smiled briskly, "Ha ha ha!
His smile was dazzlingly princely, too.
'Speaking of which, who did you have in your entourage?
When you are the prince of a country that united the continent, you have a wide variety of women, but there were also many men who were future subjects of the country.
It was sadly very good timing to remove the flirtatious and unskilled me from the cronies and place the best of the best in the vicinity as a candidate for their entourage while they are still in school.
"They're all useless,
"What?
Vee sniffs grumpily and closes his eyes.
What does that mean? A group of talented people from all over the continent, all of whom are candidates for a very talented entourage.
Vee was happy with me, and whoever the cronies are, their satisfaction will not increase or decrease.
This is not me being modest, but an assessment I'm willing to accept.
I've always been told behind my back (though some have said it to my face), "I feel sorry for Prince Vincent because he's been clinging to the same impotent coward who just grew up with him.
The main reason why I went to school as a woman was because I was afraid that those people who talked behind my back would say something to me again, but fortunately, there were no people who said that to me.
...... my cross-dressing(?) Maybe it's because it was perfect and beyond reproach! What a treat.
But it's strange that there's no one in his entourage that he likes.
It's unlikely that Vee is shying away from me because of her personality, so there's no one in her entourage that I would genuinely like.
I'm sure you've been talking to your potential entourage in the salon. Can I follow you?
As a former member of the entourage, I would notice some things, and when I said, "I don't want to take you to a place with too many men, but ...... is better than leaving you alone?", Vee agreed, though with a reluctant face.
A luxurious and glittering salon for the royal family.
This is where Vee has hosted a friend-making party ...... where she has held several interviews for her entourage.
Only selected candidates for the entourage who have passed numerous assessments are allowed to enter here.
Looking at the list, they all look familiar in some way.
...... Looking at it this way, it's no wonder that they say I'm not strong enough to be a nobody.
But this is the only thing that can make me feel better about myself if I'm gone and these people are under Vee's wing! You could say that it was an absolute plus for Vie's future.
"Lenore, you don't want to see too much. You don't have to do it.
"No it's okay! We need to find an entourage that will be as positive as possible for Vi's future!
"Lenore ......
Vee's future than their own desires!
I can say ...... because Vee asked me to marry her and I feel safe enough to stay with her in a different way. ......
It's cash, after all, .......
When I entered the salon, everyone seemed to have gathered and welcomed Vee.
This time I brought my former entourage, Lenore, with me.
Nice to meet you all. My name is Lenore Mirian. If there is anything I can do to help you, I would like to help you.
When I say that, there is a throbbing in the salon.
What, did I do that?
The rest of the day went by without a hitch, a place to socialize with those who wanted to talk to each other as they pleased.
It's a good thing that you're not a fan of this kind of thing.
"I'm not sure if I'd rather be ...... or miss,
When I thought that, he spoke to me.
I'd be happy to call you Mr. or Ms., since they're both uncomfortable.
The one who stopped me was the son of the Prime Minister.
Although he is a student with a desire to become a civil servant, he has been respected for his groundbreaking policies from this time of year, and he is sometimes allowed to attend meetings.
Then do the same for me.
I'm not sure if it's right for me to take it seriously when I think of it as a shrewd civil servant. ......
It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're doing.
It's a good idea to have a good policy in place, but it won't be passed until His Majesty says yes.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, he thought it would be beneficial to be on good terms with Vee as a close associate.
At the very least, he's not someone who wants the honor, and I don't think that's a bad thing for a close associate. ......
'Everyone here in the saloon has been singing your praises,'
That's how I came to talk to you, a nasty man who fits the word "strong", the son of a knight commander.
It's not just a matter of how many times you've been in your life.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes.
In times of emergency, the cooperation between the knights and the king is very important. There's nothing wrong with getting along with them.
You want me at ......?
Can I do something that will be praised by these all-star members?
To be honest, I underestimated you.
"What, eh?
The son of the knight commander limp and drooping.
As I filled my head with questions, the son of an intelligent vizier pushed up his glasses and explained to me.
It wasn't until Lenore was gone that everyone knew what kind of person Prince Vincent was.
"...... ah~......
Somehow I understood what he was trying to say.
'Prince Vincent is strong, wise, kind to his people, and a wonderful prince.'
But it wouldn't have been possible without Ms. Lenore.
During my absence from school, Vee showed the selfishness that only I could see in him, and he cut down everyone who tried to take my place.
Vee is very clear about it: ......
He warned me to be careful not to be frightened, and he also manipulated the impression that he was a relatively gentle prince by making me hate him.
But those who can do nothing but sesame seeds are not invited to the salon.
It's ...... something sorry ......
Maybe he thinks that sesame-seeking is standard equipment for his entourage.
"Anyone who comes close to me to take over for Lenore would say 'Lenore could have done it' or 'Lenore would have guessed it without telling me,' and then the prince would stamp me with a badly made stamp and send me home,
"Ugh, wow. ......
The son of a heroic king who unified the continent, if the future king said 'useless', I would have to give up the court job, an elite course for nobility.
That's pretty bad.
I'm not sure if my cross-dressing(?) Maybe it wasn't because Vee was perfect and had nothing to complain about, but maybe it was just that no one was foolish enough to be vulnerable to Vee's selfishness and fight with me.
To be honest, I was aware that I had spoiled Vee.
I was too desperate for Vee to need me to be incompetent, and when Vee said something abstract like 'I want that thing,' I was like, 'This? I have been taking care of them with all my years of intuition.
It is an absurd request to ask competent boys who want to be in the entourage to guess and exhaust them like a mature couple.
And furthermore, ......
My country's prince, Master Vincent, is a genius who can do everything by himself.
I nodded my head. I can't help but nod my head when I see that much on display every day.
I'm not sure if I'm the strongest guy in the school, but even I can't hurt His Highness in a fight.
A little entourage won't satisfy him.
In other words, Vee's abilities were too high for them to keep up with, and the prospective aides, who had never experienced a setback before, were broken.
It's a fascinating story. The country can't run on its own, so the more friends you have, the better.
But excellence makes them feel close to Vee's existence and overwhelming talent, and they become isolated.
"I was overwhelmed by His Highness after just one day by his side, and I was overwhelmed by my own helplessness. But Lord Lenore, not only did you endure it all your life, but you were a bulwark around you.
No, it's just that there's so much difference between me and Vee that I'm not going to be devastated. ......
One of the advantages of being a vessel for appreciating the overwhelming differences is that it's a great advantage.
People in a competitive society would be crushed by jealousy and hatred if they didn't have the ability to recognize the other.
The fact that I had lived next to the prince and had not experienced any of that kicked-down despair and jealousy made me feel that I too had been protected and pampered by Vee.
Even though people came to flirt with Vee, she still chose me in the end.
We disregarded Ms. Lenore because of our abilities, and I want to apologize again. Once again, I want to apologize.
The son of the Knight Commander's son and nearby boys bowed their heads to the extent that Vee would not be suspicious of them in accordance with the son of the Prime Minister.
I'm going to have to ask them to raise their heads immediately after receiving the apology.
You will find that you can get away with these kinds of internal disputes as much as possible without the royal family finding out. It's going to be troublesome.
But I thought about it.
It's not only that Vie is overwhelming, but it's also too different in what it asks of its entourage.
With all these all-star members here, they should all be better than Vee in some way.
That's what makes it so heartbreaking to be asked to care about them in a mysterious way.
I realized that I was definitely the one who distorted it, and I'm the only one who can make it right.
I told them both to wait a minute and walked straight to Vee.
Vee noticed this and looked happy, but I scolded her away. Rather than scolding Vee, I scolded myself for being so close to Vee.
"You! I don't know what you're trying to get the best people in the salon to do miscellaneous teahouses!
The salon goes quiet with Sin ...... and Vee even freezes in surprise.
'Lenore,'
"In my place, at my age, there are people who want to assist me and stand with me in the future to carry the country on their shoulders! I don't need all that attentive stuff I used to do anymore. ......
It's my fault, I didn't want to leave and I've been a crony with no talent, but I've been a crony with chores to cover it up.
It's hard to feel a little pity for them, as they all must have sensed that I denied myself everything.
...... Well, you were the one who was attentive.
So Vee laughed gently, his face was so warm that it made me want to cry.
When she looked down and tried to fool herself, Vee's hand was on her head.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what you want to do in the future," he said, "when you have such a promising group of people here. And maybe we'll get something.
Wiping away tears and fumbling, Vee said, "Well," and the boys in the salon said, "Oh! And raised one arm.
From then on, the salon was like a big debate about the dreams that each of them was aiming for.
Even Vee, who has an interest in politics, became passionate and participated in the debate, saying, "I'm rude, so I'll allow you to speak! And the discussion was in full swing.
Mm-hm. The entourage is meant to build up friendships that can be discussed passionately.
I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't understand any of the jargon, but I was the facilitator next to Vee, watching her and stopping her if she got too heated.
I can't even begin to describe it yet! But if I said, "Let's wrap it up here because we're running out of time for today," he would say, "Let's set up this kind of opportunity again next time! The boys' heroic voices echoed Vee's strong words.
'We've talked about a lot of topics, so it's good to have a debate focused on one.
And before I knew it, the vizier's son, like a scribe, was wrapping up the conversation.
'Lenore was the facilitator, was there anything you wanted to say?'
I suppose they were worried that I was just being patient and taking advantage of the facilitator, but no, no, no, no.
Getting into such an advanced topic would expose my stupidity.
I tried to get over it with a bland comment, but I fooled myself with a smiling remark.
It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family. It was fun.
Indeed, ......, and out of nowhere a voice of approval was heard and a round of applause rang out.
Vee nodded with satisfaction.
It was a completely deceptive line, but I'm glad if it was put together in a good way.
