after a while answering various questions I was finally able to leave with the help of princess Sophia.
Filia:"thank you for helping me, Princess Sophia"
Sophia:"t, it's okay"
Princess Sophia lowered her head as usual while talking to others.
Sophia:"are we going to continue walking around Miss Filia?"
Filia:"it seems I have to trouble you, Miss Sophia"
we looked at each other and smiled. It seems that with just this short trip we have started to cultivate a closer relationship.
as we were preparing to leave, I saw an acquaintance, or rather two acquaintances.one male and one female.on the face of the woman was clearly showing difficulty while reading a book, and for the male, he also read a book while occasionally giving input to the woman.
because of an acquaintance, Sophia and I walked up to them. At first the golden-haired woman was surprised and immediately saluted me.
Filia:"are you not too shy, princess!?"
we continued to talk and talk dominated by me while walking through the hallway aimlessly. This Princess Sophia was too shy to take the initiative of starting a conversation or looking for a topic, so she simply answered my question in a small voice.Eventually because she might feel uncomfortable at the princess's call, she said, she told me to call her by name.well, actually she also called me princess, so it did feel uncomfortable.
Sophia:"s, where will Miss Filia go next?"
Filia:"oh, I don't know about the ins and outs of this academy, so I just followed Miss Sophia who's known this place longer than I have. I only came here during the test, so I don't know the inside of the academy"
Sophia: "in that case, if Miss Filia pleases I can accompany you around"
Filia:"really!?"
Sophia:"um..."
Filia: "in that case, sorry to trouble you"
I really did not expect that this shy princess would take the initiative to offer me help. With her help, I would be out of a lot of trouble. More than that, maybe I could deepen the relationship with Princess Sophia. deepening ties with the royal family will give me a lot of ease in the future.ok, I approached her not only because of that impure thing, but I was indeed happy if I could be friends with her.
Sophia:"this is a library"
I saw a pair of large doors made of wood.Maybe because I was curious, Princess Sophia introduced the room that was behind this door.
Philia:"can we go in?"
Sophia:"of course..."
Princess Sophia led the way and led me into the library. unexpectedly it turned out that this big door was not heavy when it was opened. it felt no heavier than the usual door, I saw a very spacious room.which I said was very spacious is really wide.I don't know exactly how wide, but I think it is no less than the area of the ball field. as far as the eye can see there are many high and dense bookshelves containing various kinds of books.This place is divided into two floors that can be accessed freely by students.
before we could read, we had to register and show our library card to the librarian on duty, at first I was hesitant about not having a library card, but the kind-hearted librarian sister let me in and read. Well, since I don't have a card, I can only read on the spot and am not allowed to borrow a book.
many children passed by and looked for the books they needed in this library. Although many children in the library, the atmosphere here was very calm.I initially wondered, I was wondering, whether the noble child will be willing to climb the stairs to pick up the books that are on the high shelf, or not, it turns out that there is already a special officer who will help students to find and retrieve books that cannot be reached by students.
Sophia:"Do you like books, Miss Filia?"
Filia: "yes, I like to read a variety of books. it's just that, maybe there are some books that I don't like"
I spread out my mental strength and covered the entire library area. This was the easiest way to search for the book I wanted quickly. I finally found the open I wanted to read. I just need to reach out and use mana control to get the book to float and come at me. That is, so, the help I mentioned earlier was specifically for non-magic students who could not do such a thing as mana control.
I picked up a book with a purple cover. the book was probably about 100 pages or so thick. On the cover there was a silver inscription that became the title of this book that read 'the path of a knight'. After getting this book, I walked in search of an empty seat. in the library hall there is an area the size of a basketball court which has a row of long tables and chairs neatly arranged as a place for students to read. there are quite a number of children who are focusing on taking notes and reading books here.
finally, Sophia and I found a seat to read, I did not know what kind of book she was reading, but after she opened the book, she said, he immediately sank into it and began to focus on reading.
I also began to focus on reading the book I got. The knight who is meant here is not only the knight who fights using the sword, but also the knight who fights using the sword, but it is more plunged into a person who is willing to defend his country and give his loyalty to the country, whether it is a witch, a warrior knight, or other forms of knights who serve the country, he said, all of them are grouped as knights in this book as they fight for the country.
we smiled at each other and wanted to go to the next place.It seemed like without realizing it, Sophia and I had formed a closer relationship when we were ready to go, I saw two people I knew were discussing something in the corner. Besides them, there were some other boys and girls who were with them and came to discuss something.
seeing an acquaintance, I finally invited Princess Sophia to greet them.
Philia:"good afternoon Prince Elion"
Sophia:"good afternoon, sister"
me and Sophia's daughter gave greetings and did noble etiquette. At first they were a bit surprised when they saw me, especially Aria whose hair was the most striking among the crowd.
Elion:"good afternoon, miss Philia"
Aria:"good afternoon princess"
the Prince and Aria also returned our greetings politely. indeed Aria was a bit awkward with such an attitude.maybe because she was not used to doing things like this, after all she used to be an ordinary person. but what surprised me a bit was that Aria was able to get along with these noble children, especially Prince Elion.
after seeing that the prince and Aria returned our greetings, finally the other children who were with them also saluted after being silent for a while.it seemed like they did not recognize me, she said, so they saluted Sophia's daughter who was clearly a princess and ignored me.
well, I don't care about it. after all, there are rarely any who meet the Duke's daughter Rosefield. Since long ago, Filia has hardly ever attended social events among the nobility. all of this was because Philia, who was physically weak, could not travel far from the Rosefield Dukedom to the capital. if not for the fact that there would be enrollment in the academy which was mandatory for the nobles, Filia would have never traveled with such a miserable ending at that time. because now that I am taking over her body, I will make sure that she will live well from now on.
Filia:"looks like you're in trouble. What's wrong?"
I asked Aria who seemed to be having a hard time discussing.it was not very clear, but with a Tier five mental strength, I could tell the mental fluctuations of others, indeed, so I know that he's having a hard time.
Aria:"s, actually I did have some difficulties..."
Aria answered me hesitantly and lowered her head.
Filia:"what kind of problem?"
Elion: "some day Miss Aria is having problems in magic. Miss Aria is detected has a large amount of mana, but somehow Miss Aria can not control magic well, so we tried to discuss with the magic research group to find out the cause, but to date, we haven't found the problem"
prince Elion is better at speaking and explaining than Aria who speaks by always looking down on me.
Filia:"oh, I'm surprised to see you're willing to help Aria, prince"
Aria:"no..!!!. b, not like that..."
yes, I like to tease this little girl.with her slightly teasing words, her face instantly flushed like an apple. while the prince just smiled helplessly.
Filia:"yeah, yes.I know.so about your problem, what kind of elemental magic are you trying?"
Aria:"i, that's.I've tried the five elements, fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning.but even though I tried, I couldn't control them well. it seems like I do not have any talent in magic"
I could see her face showing a disappointed expression.Maybe she was disappointed that she could not use magic?.
Aria:"when the princess helped me to get into the academy, but, but I just let down the efforts of princess Filia"
although her voice was getting quieter, but I could clearly hear her. It seemed that I was wrong. The girl was not saddened by not being able to use magic, she said, but she was sad for fear of making my efforts to help her get into the academy go to waste.what a good girl.I came forward and comforted Aria who was ready to cry at any time.
Filia:"I know your problem.I'll help fix it..."
Aria:"b, really, princess?"
Aria raised her head and looked at me. In the corner of her eyes was already formed a pearl of tears that almost dripped.
Filia:"of course..."
