058. Transfer Student (2)

“Mr. Berris!”

“…… Beatrice?”

“Yes! Berrys-sama’s Beatrice is here.”

It was Beatrice who greeted Veris with a fresh smile. It was not an easy situation to understand, so Veris looked around her.

It is also the scenery of the southern commercial district that remains in my memory. The mansion had the same appearance as when Veris and the others left.

By the way…… Why is Beatrice here?

Perhaps she noticed Veris’ question, Beatrice approached and quietly crossed her arms. Naturally, the three girls’ eyes lit up with sparks at that unscrupulous act, but Beatrice ignored them and continued her words.

“I came to the academy ahead of schedule to transfer. And…… She heard that she had been to the county of Wittelsbach?”

It was a lively smile that came to mind. But for some reason, that soft smile gave me a cold feeling.

“Right, well.”

“I am really sad. How can I…….”

Beatrice was oblivious to what she said behind her back, but Berrys could understand her meaning without difficulty.

Anyway, this guy looks sulky. Does she think that she, who is by herself, left herself alone and went to her manor?

“I didn’t expect you to come to the academy this soon. I thought you would at least stay in the Mage Tower longer.”

“Yeah, I was in a hurry in my own way.”

When Beatrice smiled brightly once again, it felt like her intestines were brightening up.

“You’re in such a hurry.”

Unable to hide her discomfort, Cecilia quietly let out a grunt from behind.

At that, Beatrice’s cold gaze quickly reached and fell on Cecilia.

‘This woman?’

Of course, Cecilia didn’t know what Beatrice meant…… She was not just an innocent priest of the Holy Kingdom. How could she not know this feeling, having tasted the storms of her world herself!

‘How absurd!’

Cecilia is in her heart! She screamed.

She knows too. To the extent that that Beatrice was a woman whose family had been betrothed to her daughter, the late writer, even before Veris was born.

But…… Even so, it was obvious that Veris would not abandon Cecilia or Arwen. But how could Beatrice act like that!

Let’s evaluate it calmly. If Maria were to participate in this love front in earnest, would she, like Beatrice, be ‘officially’ pushed to her rank?

“Let’s stop this pointless fight and move on. Everyone must be tired from the long carriage ride.”

“That is quite right.”

It was Berris who put an end to this delicate situation. As expected, Arwen and Cecilia had the same intentions, but perhaps because she was tired, she soon shook her head.

“Yes.”

Perhaps because the situation didn’t flow as planned, the future archmage has a painful face. Her mind weakened by that, Veris proposed to her at her hint.

“Beatrice should also come in and have a cup of tea. The tea Arwen pours is way better than most cafes in the business district.”

“…… Will it?”

A smile bloomed on Beatrice’s cool face as she looked over Cecilia, Arwen, and Maria with an expressionless face.

“… ….”

Of course, the reaction of the two-faced girl made the three girls feel absurd, so they had no choice but to remain silent.

* * *

“… ….”

“… ….”

“… ….”

Maria, the princess of the great empire, was seated side by side in the living room of her mansion, holding tea, thanks to her guardian Mrs.

Veris, the main point of the girls, left her seat saying that she would wash her body and change her dusty clothes.

That’s why the living room was suddenly creating a bleak atmosphere. Like walking on thin ice, should I say the feeling of playing with fire in a place full of gunpowder that could explode at any moment.

It was Beatrice who broke the silence in the strange living room where they quietly drank tea. She said to the two girls with a bright smile.

“I have heard a lot about Saint Cecilia and the spirit sword Arwen.”

“Is that so?”

“I am truly grateful.”

The two girls had no choice but to react with trembling.

It wasn’t the first time they met Beatrice either.

But…… The Beatrice I had seen earlier had a broken heart to the extent that I could feel her sympathy. She does, but she can’t believe that people can change so much just by breaking the circle.

In addition, Beatrice’s personality, which regained her feelings, was enough to shock and terrorize Arwen and Cecilia in many ways.

How was she when she left the academy the other day? She told Veris with her Truth Stone in her hand. You…… I like it.

At first glance, it may sound like a hot and sweet confession of love, but unfortunately, the man Beatrice confessed to was the one Arwen and Cecilia had in mind.

“I am always grateful to you two. You are so close to assisting the person who will be my ‘husband’.”

“…… !”

The faces of the two girls were shocked at Beatrice’s sudden attack.

It was thanks to the weight of the word ‘husband’, which I came up with really out of the blue.

Her Not too long ago, I couldn’t say a word to Veris or even meet her eyes…. That girl was clearly their enemy.

“There is nothing to be thankful for. Because my body and mind belong to Veris-sama.”

“Like a fire fox…… !”

It was Arwen who took the lead this time. Beatrice raised her eyes at the answer that showed her dark inner self.

The body…… Mind too?

It was a truly blatant line without the need to hear the truth.

Without stopping there, Cecilia helped her. Even Arwen and Cecilia, who are usually her friends and rivals, are a united front formed thanks to a girl full of hostility with ‘legitimacy’ who suddenly invaded the front line.

“Everything must be the will of the god of light. Arwen and I…… I remember the warmth of the three of us sleeping together in Veris-sama’s bed.”

Bulkkeok!

“What, what, what? I beg your pardon?”

What woman would sit still when she saw that she had slept in the same bed with the man she longed for?

“… ….”

As expected, Arwen was surprised by Cecilia’s surprise attack.

Yeah, well……. It was not wrong.

Two girls preparing for a night attack on Verice to use her Truth Stone are in Verice’s bed…… It’s true that the three of them slept.

Cecilia was walking a tightrope between ‘truth’ and ‘misunderstanding’. And the strategy produced quite effective results. Beatrice, who said she had regained that feeling, is shaking her fists as evidence of that!

“Monk Berry, with two foxes before me?

I couldn’t hear it properly, but it was a voice imbued with shady anger. Beatrice looked back and forth between Arwen and Cecilia in disbelief.

“… ….”

To Arwen and Cecilia, this woman seemed a bit odd. She is an elegant girl whose appearance is reminiscent of a single black rose.

Together.

It’s probably not the influence of the circle…… Was she originally a person with a strange personality?

* * *

The long summer vacation was coming to an end.

The most surprising thing recently is that Beatrice started living in her mansion.

Well, even from Veris’ point of view, it wasn’t something that I couldn’t understand at first glance.

In her own way, this is Beatrice, Veris’ fiancée. From her point of view, she could have been very insecure about Veris living with another woman.

Beatrice immediately renovated her guest room and made it her own.

Although Arwen and Cecilia showed slight objections, in the end, the owner of the mansion was actually Veris, so they couldn’t stop Beatrice from moving in.

Is it because of that?

Because the residents of Veris’ mansion were so competitive, unusual rumors began to circulate within the academy.

There were various types of rumors. First of all, who is Berris?

From noble mtl dot com

Some credit Veris for saving her students when her dorm wing was taken over by her demonic followers.

First of all, Delia, the famous Duke of Hindenstaufen, and student council president Balten said it was a highly credible story, so rumors about it were getting on the water.

And next was a rumor about Beatrice, a magical genius who recently came from the Mage Tower.

The girl with ebony hair and dark eyes was a hot potato emerging in the academy recently.

The archmage of the future. The weight of that name was never light. It was to the extent that I could hear that she was running around in order to get her from her mage tower and her academy.

The place where rumors spread the fastest within the academy is the southern commercial district.

It was because it was a common place for people from the central, western, northern, and eastern regions to visit. In a cafe in the commercial district, several men were sitting around a round table in close conversation.

“Did you hear that rumor?”

“Rumors? I’m sick of it now. Also, the grossly handsome guy from Wittelsbach, or the magical ability of his betrothed Beatrice…… Something like that.”

“Ehh. Are you also late for rumors? That’s why you can’t get out of class C for the rest of your life.”

“What man? That’s why he didn’t get promoted from C class until he was in the third grade!”

“Big. Anyway, the rumor I asked this time is different.”

“…… Different?”

“Yes! Do you know any information about the kingdom of Gaul to the west?”

“To some extent. But why all of a sudden about the kingdom of Gallia, a potential enemy country?”

“Keuk kuk. You really are a late friend.”

“Oh, don’t hesitate and tell me quickly!”

No matter how frustrated he was, the brown-haired student raised his hand high enough to strike his friend in the back of the head.

At that sight, the other students hurriedly continued their conversation.

“Grand Duke Wallenstein of the Kingdom of Gaul!”

“…… Huh?”

Thanks to the suddenly heavy name that popped up, the student calmly sat down.

Is there anyone who doesn’t know the name of Archduke Wallenstein?

The one who made the peace treaty between Gaul and the Empire, where the difference in national power was overwhelming. A person who has a ‘war deterrence’ just by being there.

Again…… A sword genius who received the title of Sword Master at the age of just 15. As a counterpoint to him, the recent Empire has promoted Gunther von Haruen as the empire’s swordsman genius, but…….

“That person is a real monster.”

“Yes!”

When it seemed like he could communicate with his friend, one student continued talking.

“I heard that he is coming to the academy?”

“…… Why?”

“That rumor is really funny. From what I heard, he said he would find his marriage partner at this academy.”

“What?!”

The student’s astonished voice resounded in the cafe.
