The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 102: Information For Duke

"Duke San Lucia ? You want to give information about my relationship to Duke San Lucia?," I asked.

"Yes, after all, Duke San Lucia is Irene's father. It's natural to have to tell him that Irene is dating someone here" said Nadine.

"Well, that's true, but I guess Irene will tell her father about this" I said.

"He would have told him but when he graduated from the academy, because he did not have a communication crystal, so he could not tell him directly. Only I have the crystal so I should contact master Duke. I should have approached you and Irene on the first day the rumors about your relationship and Irene were spreading in the academy because this information was very, very important and should be immediately notified to the Duke. But I can only approach you now because I was on a lot of tasks before" said senior Nadine.

"That's it but wait, I just found out that this academy allows its students to communicate with people from outside the academy using communication crystals" I said.

"There is no regulation that addresses communication crystals for the disciples. So yes whether it is forbidden or not I also do not know. But most of the noble disciples and 'being' people in this academy must have used the crystal to communicate with their families since only they were able to afford the communication crystal. I'm sure Prince Charles and Princess Chloe have it too but it's never been shown to you" said Nadine.

"Well, maybe you have a point, senior," I said.

"Alright, then I go first to inform this information to Mr. Duke," said senior Nadine.

"But before that let me give you one suggestion, Rid," said Nadine.

I waited for the advice he wanted to say.

"Since you are now officially a couple from Irene, I suggest you be more careful going forward. Irene was the daughter of the Duke, so there must be someone who was after her as well to be a couple. Most of those who were after Irene were greedy and thirsty for power, they were aiming for Irene in order to gain power from the Duke. But since Irene was appointed as a participant for an event organized by King Albert, the greedy people who were after Irene disappeared because they did not want to be suspected of thwarting the King's event if they still targeted Irene," senior Nadine said.

"Senior Nadine must be talking about ~Matchmaking Battle~, but with him not telling me the name of the show this King seems like he doesn't know that I actually already know about this event from Irene," I thought

"Wait a minute, because now that I and Irene are a couple, does that mean I'm foiling the King's show?" I asked.

"From what I've heard, Irene herself shot you to be her partner ? In that case, Irene herself was the one who intended to foil the King's event. After all, from the beginning, the Duke himself had no intention of letting his daughter attend the event because it was a matchmaking event. He freed his daughter to choose her own partner. However, even though Irene shot you first there is a possibility that you are also labeled as a troublemaker on the King's show because you received an invitation from Irene. Not to mention, there is a possibility that you are targeted also by greedy people who want to take Irene from you. You will be targeted by many dangerous people, from now on you must be vigilant and careful. They may make students, staff or teachers here as their spies" said senior Nadine.

"Senior Nadine is right, with me now Irene's partner, there is a possibility that I will be targeted by people who want to take advantage of Irene. It's going to be hard for me but." I thought.

"Thank you, senior Nadine. I'll start being careful from now on" I said.

".....I can't back down from my own choices" I thought again.

"Then I want to talk about one more thing" said Nadine.

"One more thing?" I asked.

"Either your relationship is true or fake even though you both told me that you guys are actually dating, whatever I don't care. But I thank you for being Irene's current partner. You made Irene avoid the political matchmaking that the King would do, well even though you could get in trouble because of this. And again you also protect and handle Irene well after a match with Amelia's daughter. For that, I want to say thank you" said senior Nadine.

Senior Nadine bowed towards me.

"What is this all of a sudden ? stop it, senior, you shouldn't bow to me" I said.

"This is just a thank you. I'm the only child so I don't have any siblings but Irene, my cousin's sister, is considered my own sister" Nadine said.

"So yeah, I thank you senior so stop bowing like that" I said.

Senior Nadine stopped bowing.

"I'm sorry, I seem to get too carried away" said senior Nadine.

"It's okay, senior. Seeing you just now is like seeing another side of you. Although you always have a flat expression, but your nature is funny too" I said.

"Hmmm you already have Irene so you can't tease me like that" said Nadine.

"Sorry, sorry. By the way, may I ask you one thing?," I asked.

"Just ask" said Nadine.

"You said that the ones who are after Irene to be a couple are usually greedy people who thirst for power right ? but don't you think of me like that?" I asked.

"Not at all, after all, the one who started the relationship between the two of you was Irene herself. So it was Irene's own decision that you wanted to be her partner. Whatever Irene's decision I'm sure she's made a good one. And again, I also feel that you are not that kind of person," said senior Nadine.

"It's okay, then I'll excuse you. Though I want to immediately tell Mr. Duke about this information but instead so late chat with you, said senior Nadine.

Senior Nadine flicked her finger again and this time the silent voice I felt disappeared. The invisible dome that covers me and senior Nadine is gone.

"See you, Rid," is Nadine's senior.

"See you, too" I said.

Senior Nadine left the library. I continued reading in the library and after a while of reading books, I left the library as well.

I decided to go back to my dorm and when I got to the 5th floor where my dorm was. I saw Irene waiting in front of my dorm door. Irene only daydreamed while in front of my dorm but immediately realized when I realized that I wanted to approach her.

"Siang, Rid," said Irene greeting me.

"Just too, Irene. What do you need to do at my dorm door ? Sorry if I'm not in the dorm, I'm out of the library" I said.

"So yeah, it's okay. I want to give you lunch" said Irene.

Irene also gave lunch.

"Thank you, Irene. Sorry for bothering you even more so that you have to wait this way," I said.

"It's okay, after all this is our deal. But if you feel bad about making me wait to deliver you food, let me cook in your dorm every day" Irene said.

I was silent and surprised to hear Irene.

"So I'll have an easier time giving you food because I cooked it right in your dorm. Give me the keys to your dorm, Rid," Irene said.

"Huh?!?!," I said in surprise.

-

That night, in Nadine's senior dorm. Senior Nadine was chatting with someone through a communication crystal.

"So Irene is already dating someone in the academy?," asked the person behind the crystal.

"That's right, Mr. Duke," said senior Nadine.

Nadine's senior was talking to Duke of San Lucia, Louis Emerald San Lucia.

"Nadine, I told you not to be that formal when talking to me. Even though I'm a Duke, I'm still your uncle" said Mr. Louis.

"But I feel bad if I don't talk to you formally" said Nadine.

"Yes, I won't force you. Hmmm Rid Archie yes, I seem to have heard of a name related to this Archie but I have forgotten where. But this Irene couple is just ordinary people huh?," asked Mr. Louis.

"Right sir, but it is certain that even though he is just a commoner but his strength exceeds that of a noble. Even he had beaten Prince Charles and princess Amelia in daily matches," said senior Nadine.

"really ? he must be very strong if he could defeat the two of them in a duel. I don't care whether the couple Irene chose from among the common people or not. Whatever Irene's choice, I'll support her. Because Irene now has a partner, this way Irene will be free from the ridiculous event" said Mr. Louis.

"You're right, sir," said senior Nadine.

"Although the event was made on the initiative of the King himself, I felt it was a trap to trap our family. Thankfully, Irene did not attend the show. But there is a possibility that Irene's partner will now be the target. If there's a problem with him, I'm asking you to help him, Nadine" said Mr. Louis.

"Ready, sir," said senior Nadine.

"Then until here first our chat. I have to tell Asier about this. He must be happy when he found out his beloved sister finally had a partner," said Mr. Louis.
