The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 52: Two Princes

"Rid Archie, I have something to talk to you about" said Irene's daughter.

"So what do you want to talk to me about ? what's that?" I asked.

As Irene's daughter was about to continue her conversation, there was the sound of a door opening from behind me.

"......No, it's. Please continue your activities" said princess Irene.

After which, princess Irene rushed into her room.

"Morning, Rid. What are you doing here so early in the morning?" said Charles.

The one who opened the door behind me was Charles. He just came out of his room. He was wearing casual clothes that might make people unaware if he was a prince in this kingdom.

"So I also caught a glimpse of princess Irene coming into her room. Is there something you're talking about with him?" continued Charles.

"Nothing, when I came out of my room there happened to be a princess Irene in front of her room. So I decided to greet him. You asked me what I did this morning, right ? I plan to take a morning walk while looking around, if you're alone?" I said.

"I also plan to take a morning walk, all a little exercise. When I was living in the palace, I used to do this regularly. Sport is great for improving mana capacity" Charles said.

"You're right, then how about we go morning together?" I said.

"Good idea" said Charles.

"It seems that this time there is no need to take Noa and Chloe first, it seems like they are still asleep in his room" I said.

"You're right, I don't want to wake Chloe either. He's afraid he's still resting. Then let's go" said Charles.

I stared at Princess Irene's bedroom door for a moment.

"He seemed to want to talk to me about something, but not because Charles was coming. About what he wanted to talk to me about, "I thought.

After that we immediately went down and walked to the outside of the dormitory complex. Because our dormitory is in the back of the building, so if you want to get out of the dormitory complex must pass the building in front of it. In each dormitory we passed, we saw students who were talking to other students or who were doing light exercises. When we were about to pass through the gate of the dormitory, there were 5 female disciples gathered at the gate of the dormitory. The student seemed surprised to see our presence or perhaps because of the presence of Charles.

"Ah prince, good morning," said one of the disciples.

"Good morning, prince," said the other disciple.

"Good morning, too," said Charles.

"In the morning, where is the prince going?" asked one of the disciples.

"I just went for a morning walk. I'm bored in the dorm. Besides, please don't call me the prince in this academy. Although out there our status is different, but here our status is the same as students," said Charles.

"E-eh but I feel bad about calling the prince by name only" said one of the students.

"I'm not good either" said the other student.

"It's up to you, I won't force it" Charles said.

"All right," they said.

"Rid too, good morning,"

"Good morning, Rid," they said.

"Good morning too" I said.

Unexpectedly, they also said good morning to me.

"It looks like you've become famous, Rid," Charles ledek.

"Even if I become famous, it can't be compared to you" I said.

"Indeed, if lately Rid became popular even among women. Many talk about you after you beat Javier and even managed to get perfect points in every exam" said one of the students.

"I see, I just found out about it" I said.

"And again, many other female disciples thought that you were handsome even more handsome than the prince. After being noticed, it seemed like their words were correct," said the other disciple.

They all started to notice me.

"You're right, e-eh sorry prince doesn't mean we're here comparing your looks to Rid's" said one of the students

"Hahahaha it's okay, just relax" said Charles.

"In addition to being handsome, some say that you also look like a prince. Prince from another country maybe ? But if anyone says you look like a prince, I don't think that's wrong. After seeing the two of you walk, somehow the nuance is like seeing two princes walking," said one of the students.

"I'm a prince ? where possible, I'm not even a noble. I am just an ordinary citizen. But if you think I'm so, it's up to you" I said.

"It's just people's opinions anyway. Ah sorry yes with our chat just now so hold you for the morning walk," said one of the students.

"Really, it's okay. After all, we are fellow students of this academy, it is natural that we have to communicate and talk even if it is only a small conversation," I said.

"Well, then. Rid and Prince please just continue the morning path," said one of the students.

"Okay, we'll excuse you" said Charles.

We immediately went out of the dormitory complex. We intend to go to the fountain in front of the academy lobby.

"I didn't expect that many people would talk about me without my knowledge" I said.

"Isn't that normal ? they were talking about the person who got ranked 1st in the academy entrance examination. It is not natural for them not to talk about it. But I'm happy, at least I'm not the only one who's popular at the academy" Charles said.

"Actually I don't want to be popular but since I intend to be serious in the entrance exam earlier, it seems like I have no choice. In the future I will try seriously" I said.

"Me too" said Charles.

We arrived at the fountain in front of the lobby. We both did a little warm-up at the place.

"Hey Rid, how about we run" uch Charles said.

"Running match ? I don't care," I said.

"I'd love to fight you, I thank you for accepting it. We would run from this fountain to the front gate of the Academy and then back to this fountain, how ?" said Charles.

"Well, is the match using ~Speed Boost~ or not ?," I asked.

"No, we'll be running at our own pace without using Boost" Charles said.

"All right then" I said.

We are also preparing to compete. We both took a run to run.

"3, 2, 1" said Charles, who took the cue.

After that we both immediately ran as hard as we could towards the front gate of the Academy. The distance between the fountain and the front gate of the Academy was about 200-250 meters. I ran as fast as I could leaving Charles behind me. The guards guarding the gate were shocked to see the two of us running towards them.

"Eh, Eh what happened ? There is a prince too ? why are you running" they said.

I arrived first at the front gate of the Academy, then I explained it to the guard.

"Nothing, we're just running" I said.

"Oh yes, I think there is a precarious situation," said the guard.

The guard was different from the guard when I first came here.

After explaining it to the guard, I turned around and ran back towards the fountain earlier. I ran past Charles who was still running towards the front gate. I ran as fast as he could until I finally got back to the fountain. After about 15-20 seconds, Charles arrived at the fountain.

"Well...Huh....Hah, I can't believe you're that fast Rid. Even without using boost. You don't even look tired after running that fast" said Charles, who was tired after running.

"Is that so ? Maybe because before entering this academy, I have often trained to strengthen my physique including training my speed," I said.

"So yeah, it looks like in this game I lost a lot" said Charles.

After that, we rested on the stairs leading to the lobby. I turned to the left and saw many participants who had previously walked carrying their luggage. They were the participants who failed the academy entrance examination.

"It looks like it's time for them to go home" said Charles, who also saw them.

"Yes, you're right" I said.

They brought their luggage and walked towards the academy gate. Some walk while sad and some walk while showing a face that does not want to give up. Whatever it is, I pray that they can qualify to enter this academy next year. And for those who have lost their last chance, I hope they find a new way.

"By the way Charles, have you had breakfast?" I asked.

"Breakfast ? Not yet, if you're Rid?" asked Charles again.

"I haven't either. I want breakfast but I don't know how. If I want to make it myself or buy it, at least I need the money to buy the ingredients or the food. And I realized that I didn't bring any money with me" I said.

"If it's money, I'll take it. I'll buy it later if you want to buy it at the market" Charles said.

"Thank you, Charles. But I wonder if the canteen still serves free food. The previous supervisor said that the canteen will provide free food when we are studying while being a student there only. But at this time we have not become students because there has not been a ceremony for the reception of new students. That's why I want to check it first" I said.

"That's it, then I'll come, too" said Charles.

The two of us immediately got up from our seats and walked towards the academy lobby. But suddenly there was the voice of someone calling us.

"You two are here" said the man.
