Chapter 76: The Little Children's Game
I shifted my gaze from the book I was reading when a carefree voice called out to me, "Sister!." A little girl with her two honey-brown pigtails looked cheerfully up her tiny face from behind the table where I was reading.
That girl, Stelia Caelum Azasky. First princess of the Royal Family Azasky, and also my cousin's sister.
Yes, cousin. In fact, Aunt Queensha, is the twin sister of my mother. It's a little hard for me to explain his genealogy.
The father of my mother and aunt, was an Asteris, while his wife, the mother of my mother and aunt, was an Elf.
That's right, Elf. From his second marriage, born my mother and aunt, you could say the two are similar, but also very different. My mother inherited the blood and physical character from her father, a pure Asterist. While her sister, Queensha inherited the blood and physical character of an Elf, similar to her mother.
Therefore, both take two different names. My mother by the last name of Asteria, and aunt by the last name of Caelum, an Elf.
I close my book slowly, "What's up?" I asked as I stroked her soft hair.
Curiously he asked, "What book do you read? I really look serious!" He said with twinkling eyes.
"e eh? This yeah? Just a little textbook" I said lightly.
Powerfully, he pulled her, a chair towards me. Trying to sit next to me.
"Woah.is that a math book? Brother liked it?" Ask curiously.
I smiled helplessly as the skinny arm grabbed the thick book and began to open it with twinkling eyes, filled with curiosity.
"Ah. Sometimes I will read and try to do it if I am free" I said, sighing.
"So, really great!" It's full of enthusiasm.
It's been a few weeks since I got here. Nothing has changed too much except my routine. Well, there's nothing I can do here but go back and forth to visit the library and continue to take care of my plans going forward.
It had been a long time for me to look at her, the girl with her small hands turning back the sheet of the book.
Every now and then, he prattled and asked curiously. Until, a soft voice called out his name.
"Steliaa... don't bother Raka reading .. Don't you have a lesson today with Miss Magnoph?" Said someone standing at the door, the woman was a middle-aged woman with her long golden blond hair smeared pretty.
"Eits? Why didn't you remind me? I must be late!" He jumped out of the chair and rushed away.
While aunt Queensha just sighed while shaking her waist.
"Raka? How's it going? Is it fun here?" Ask me.
I was stunned for a moment before finally answering briefly, "Ah. Sure ..." .
"Haiz, where's the kid? He should be here with you, right? And you should have done something other than go to my husband and spend time in the library, right Raka?" The question is a little disturbed.
I shifted my gaze from the figure of the little girl who passed by, while packing things, intending to return to my room.
"Hmm? Should I do it?" I was answered by the complicated look of the woman before me.
"Haih .. alright .. I will be back" he said, sighing loudly.
'Well, I think my eyes need some refreshment' I lamented in my heart as I left.
I put my feet up, down the long hallway. The sounds of the fight were heard, for a while, I stopped my steps, as a group of small children walked with a slight crisp sound.
I smiled wryly as the children walked closer, my decision was already unanimous! A thousand steps I took, I quickly turned around, trying to pass when a voice called out to me.
"Oh? Isn't that the noble prince of Arcnight?" Say that voice.
Sighs.
I let out a heavy sigh as the giggling sound continued to bother me nonstop.
‘It won't end if I don't take firm steps!’ I murmured to myself while preparing an awkward smile that I would not want to show even though hesitating.
"Of the many people I don't want to meet why do you have to be here anyway!? Just wasting my time" I complained softly.
Immediately I turned around, trying to express myself as brightly as possible, I guess so.
"Ah. Who I suppose? It turns out that young Master Rietch, Kleid and young master Struitch. Good morning, how are you today?" I said formally while trying not to bite my own tongue.
"Ah. Morning too! Thank goodness if you know us, however we will understand you if you do not know us" Rietch said.
"Yes! Know it? We are generous nobles" continued Struitch proudly.
While Kleid just nodded in agreement.
'Huh!? Know head! If I hadn't asked Old Man Qin the other day I wouldn't have known you guys anyway, I'd be lucky to remember the curse in my heart.
"yeah. Whatever it is, you're really lucky to meet us today, Prince Arc" said one of the three who was too lazy for me to tell them what they were like.
"Ah ha ha .. I guess so, and also, where is lord Glad and his highness prince Azasky?" My toot.
"Oh? Mr. Glad and the prince are fighting swords at the dojo."
"yeah. Since we met here what do you think of joining us?" He said with a sly expression.
"Huh?"
Rietch then took a step forward, parallel to me, "Didn't we have the same intention? Arcnights? Stop pretending and take off your mask, we know you're the same as us" she whispered to me.
That one sentence inevitably made me give it a little attention, noble children who even considered someone inferior in excess. I just fell silent, for a moment before I lifted the corner of my mouth, smiling.
"Oh? You're really a great man, Mr. Rietch .. met only a few times but you guessed me right." My reply.
I could see it, the threatened expression present on his face that now looked pale.
‘I think something like, Cunning, danger, or maybe something threatening, I guess.’ I thought what they were thinking.
Meanwhile, I closed my eyes for a moment before finally stepping forward past him.
I stopped my steps, turning around when I could hear the sound of her third voice cursing at me while trying to resuscitate Reitch from her delusions.
Yes, delusions. The fact is there's nothing I've done to her, but I must admit her instincts in feeling danger are sharp enough for an ordinary human.
I can only laugh a little.
"yeah. I'm sorry before, but a lowly person like you doesn't deserve to make me unmask, Mr. Rietch" I said lightly.
"What do you mean!" Kleid and Struitch.
"Sighs. Just look for the meaning yourself, after all I think Mr. Reitch can understand what I'm saying, right?" I said as I turned back.
"Ah. And also tell your ethics teacher, to improve your ethics, do it before it's too late" I said 'friendly' to the two who immediately paled when I saw my face.
'yeah. It's a beautiful day if there's no trio k*tu it right?' I murmured in my heart.
Without me noticing, from behind a wall there was an old man with a pair of glasses hanging from his right eye laughing at my back that was disappearing, not - or maybe I realized it, I guess.
