”Sorry Irene, I don't know if your past is like that, I once called you an unfriendly person because I was always cold, even earlier I called you that because I avoided my brother. Though I myself am also not very friendly with people because of my shy nature to strangers,” said Chloe.
”It's okay, princess Chloe. But you're always friendly with people you know, right ? Means you are friendly, your driving nature to strangers is good because you don't know anything about them, you can distance from them first. You and I are obviously different, you are a good daughter” said princess Irene.
“Are you not the same, Irene ? You even hired other races, rather than being made slaves, you would rather hire them as your assistants and your relationship is very close right ? And again even in your own territory, you are recognized as a good princess for never commanding arbitrarily to your own people,” Chloe said.
”My father hired them. My father did not like slavery, so he preferred to hire them. They always followed my orders because they were paid by my father, not because we were close. And for the people of San Lucia who say that I am a good daughter, I don't know why. I just follow my father's orders not to be arbitrary to the people themselves,” said daughter Irene.
”Be-so yes ,” says Chloe
”In addition to that princess Chloe, you and the prince should be careful when choosing a friend so as not to be like me. You can only be used because of your status who are princes and princesses of the kingdom. You guys just made a new friend, right ? No matter it's nobles or commoners, surely they always have hidden intentions when approaching you guys,” said princess Irene as she looked towards Rid and the others.
”What do you mean by Noa and Rid ? They're not the people you think they are, Noa and Rid are very nice. Noa was initially shy when talking to me and my brother. But slowly he was able to speak more casually. And for Rid, he even taught me a technique. If it wasn't for him, I might have lost the previous game,” Chloe said.
“You were taught a technique by him ?,” said princess Irene.
”Yes, this technique is like a trick technique that can trick opponents,” says Chloe.
”So yes," said Princess Irene.
Princess Irene momentarily fell silent as if she was thinking, then she spoke again.
"I don't accuse them of being like that. Yes the point is you and the prince need to be careful,” said princess Irene.
”Alright then,” says Chloe.
”I've been talking for too long, it's like it's not my usual self. Well then, excuse me first, princess Chloe,” said princess Irene who immediately turned around.
”Alright, Irene,” says Chloe.
”........If I was in a normal situation, I might accept a request to be a friend of yours, Chloe's daughter. You are a nobleman of a higher level than me, there is no way you offer me to be a friend with a certain intent like the other nobles,” said princess Irene while facing the other side.
”But...
”.....The situation I am in is very complicated. I have to follow ~Matchmaking Battle~ with the Princess of Duke San Quentine after graduating the academy later. I was not interested in the match so I decided to resign by canceling my terms of participation. Even though I am not interested in following that, if I have not canceled my membership terms and instead become familiar with the royal family, they would have guessed that I was still interested in following that because of approaching the royal family to seek support from the royal family. For that, I do not accept friend requests from you. If I have successfully cancelled my terms of participation, if Chloe's daughter asks me to be her friend again, ...... Maybe I will accept it,” said princess Irene.
“Huh,” says Chloe surprised.
After speaking so, Irene's daughter immediately stepped away from Chloe.
”Wait, Irene,” said Chloe was trying to lay off princess Irene.
But Irene's daughter kept stepping in.
”So yes, you still intend to withdraw from that match. It seems you are not interested in being my sister's partner," said Chloe a little sad.
"But I'm happy when you say that you're willing to be my friend if I offer you again later" Chloe said with a smile.
”Despite that, after having a long conversation with me earlier, you still did not smile. I thought you'd smile when you talked to me,” Chloe said.

"What is Chloe talking about with the ice princess?" Noa said, looking at their conversation.
"Okay, maybe it's just a greeting between a princess. Are you curious about their conversation?," I asked.
"Not really, it just seems interesting to see 2 princesses talking" said Noa.
"Did Chloe and Irene's daughter know Charles?" I asked Charles.
"Said to know her very well no, as I said earlier. We only know Irene because we often see her in noble associations. Besides me, Chloe also often invites him to chat but is always answered with a cold expression. I remember the first time Chloe tried to get her to chat, Chloe was shy at the time" Charles said.
"Well, Chloe's nature is indeed shy to strangers, but why is the shy Chloe to be able to invite princess Irene to chat?," I asked.
"But the cold and shy nature is different. Feel similar from the mana," said Noa.
"Hahaha" said Charles, laughing.
"But is it during the gathering that Chloe and Irene always have a long chat?" I asked Charles.
"No, usually their conversation is just a rebuke if even the conversation was only short, I was also surprised when Chloe and Irene chatted quite long just now. You could say, I was curious about their conversation as well. I'll ask him if he comes back here" Charles said.
"That's it," I said

Back to the arena.
"The results of the calculation are complete, participants Chloe Estella San Fulgen get 180 points on this third exam,” said supervisor Nora.
"180 points yes, it's the same point as Noa's. Although not a perfect point but at least this point still includes the high value," thought Chloe.
"Congratulations, Chloe's daughter,"
"180 points already includes the height of Chloe's daughter, remain enthusiastic," said another participant.
"Why are they still excited when the game is over" thought Chloe while nervous.
"For Chloe participants, because you are injured please join our supervisor first to be healed, then you can return to watch the remaining match exams,” said supervisor Nora.
"That's fine," said Chloe
Chloe was eventually taken in by the superintendent to be healed.
"Get well soon, Chloe's daughter" said the other participants.
-
"Chloe's daughter is really popular, yes, she is cheered by many participants" said Lily.
"Yes that's because Chloe's daughter is beautiful, let alone she's a royal princess it's natural if many are encouraging. When Prince Charles appeared there was also a lot of encouragement. They are good princes and princesses, it is natural that many support them, especially the prince is a friendly person" said Leandra
"Let's see you like that, too" Lily said
"I can't imagine Miss being a friendly person" Leandra said, picturing Irene's daughter as friendly.
"Are you talking about me?" said Princess Irene who suddenly came. He immediately rushed towards his seat after chatting with Chloe.
"It's nothing, miss, isn't it, Lea?" said Lily.
"I-yes is right, miss," Lea said.
"Yes already then," said princess Irene.
"By the way, miss. What were you talking about with Chloe's daughter?" asked Leandra.
"Princess Chloe just came to greet me and after that there was no important chat" said Princess Irene
"That's it," said Leandra
After which, princess Irene looked speechless while thinking of something.
"Rid Archie, it seems like Princess Chloe's impression of him is very good, especially princess Chloe said that she was taught a technique by Rid. If that's the case, it doesn't seem like a problem to ask for her help later on because I believe in Chloe's assessment of others. But, I have to wait until she passes this third exam and makes it into the Academy," Princess Irene thought as she looked towards Rid.
