Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 159

Chapter 159


"You are finally here . " Katherine frowned when Rose and I arrived at the meeting place .

"Sorry about that, captain . The class lasted more than we expected . " Rose apologized with a smile .

Katherine looked at us with a frown before nodding . Now that everybody was here, she opened her mouth .

"As you know . I'll be the leader of this team . You already heard the headmistress's orders . Our task is to patrol the campus and try to find anything suspicious . Are you clear?"

We nodded in understanding .

The four people in our group were Katherine, Rose, Iris, and I . Two people of the students' guards, and two of the student council . Katherine was the leader of the students' guards, so she was chosen as our leader .

"Captain, how are we going to do this?" Rose asked .

Katherine thought for a moment before answering .

"I think it's best if we separate . Each one chooses a zone to patrol and so we covered more ground . What do you think?"

Iris and Rose agreed, but I shook my head . "I think it's better if we form groups of two . "

"Huh? Why?" Katherine asked .

"Well, in the case we are attacked, two people can react more effectively . Plus, even if one of us is attacked, the other can help him . " Of course, I have another reason besides it .

Katherine looked at me with a frown and thought about it, but in the end, she nodded .

Even although she disliked me, she knew it was not the moment to let her personal thoughts to influence her decisions . My proposal made sense, so she accepted it .

I had to admit that Katherine was rather capable and steadfast . Another person of her age would have shot down my opinion simply because of our differences, without considering if my opinion was the best option or not .

The groups were decided quickly . Katherine and Rose were in a team and Iris and I were in another . According to Katherine, she was used to working with Rose in the students' guards, and Iris and I worked together in the student council, so this was the best manner to distribute the groups .

I was pretty happy with that decision . I was waiting for an opportunity to be alone with Iris, and this one was perfect .

Rose, on the other hand, looked at me with disappointment .

"… I wanted to team with you . " She pouted .

I looked at the hero curiously . "Why?"

"… I improved my strength a great deal recently, so I wanted to spar with you again . "

How expected of a hero, only thinking of becoming stronger .

I must admit that the idea of going with her was tempting, but Iris was my goal for today . I'll have to leave it for another day .

Katherine gave us a communication magic tool for each one . This magic tool allowed us to communicate with our team in case of an emergency . Unfortunately, it only worked when the communicators were at a certain distance, just enough to cover the entire academy .


And so, our patrolling started .

…

Iris did not talk to me during the time we started to patrol, and she always tried to walk a few steps ahead of me .

In fact, she had been avoiding me since we met again in the student council . Although she never refused to talk to me, she limited our interactions barely to the work of the student council .



After all, she was Bryan's fiancée . It was not good if she was too close to me after having fiancée, much less after Bryan openly accused us of cheating .

Iris's family, the Siri Family, was a very traditional house of nobles . They were almost as old as the three great houses, but unfortunately, they were not so powerful .

Despite it, they were a first-rate family in the capital . Compared to my mother's family, the gap was incredibly big .

Due to it, Iris had to be careful of keeping the reputation of her house . Even if she did not like Bryan, she knew it was her duty as a noble daughter to be loyal to him .

I looked at her violet hair from behind and sighed .

"Iris, we have not really talked since we met again, huh . "

Iris paused her steps briefly before she continued walking .

"There is not much to talk about . "

I smiled . "As I thought, you have changed a lot . "

Iris trembled briefly .

I continued speaking . "Do you remember that night? It was around six years ago . Back then, you were completely different . "

"… I remember . " Iris mumbled .

I chuckled . "So you remember you were crying?"

I could see Iris's neck turning red . "… Prince, please forget about it . "



"Impossible . Hahahaha, imagine my reaction when I heard a child crying in the garden of the palace . I thought it was a ghost . "

Iris blushed even more . "… I was lost . Besides, I was not really crying . "

"Is it so?" I smirked . "If I'm not wrong, you screamed when I appeared . Did you think I was a ghost or something like that?"

Iris flushed red and lowered her gaze .

At some point, we were walking side by side, talking about our encounter some years ago . Back then, both of us were children .

Iris had come with her father to the palace to officiate the engagement with my brother . But at some point, she had left her father and escaped .

Normally, she would have had a guard accompanying her, but because Iris was a very mischievous kid, she managed to escape without attracting her guard's attention . After escaping, she started to run around the palace and reached the garden .

The palace's garden is gigantic, and it's filled with all kinds of shrubs and trees, forming strange green labyrinths that can confuse even the most experienced gardener .

So, unsurprisingly, Iris got lost .

And to add to her nightmare, the sun hid a few minutes later .

In the darkness, Iris tried to find the way back to the palace only to get even more lost . When she finally discovered she did not have an idea of where she was, she started to cry .

There was where we met .

While I was practicing my sword, I heard her crying .

Curious, I found a girl crouched in the ground, with scratches in her legs caused by the branches . I treated her wounds and comforted her . Afterward, I promised to bring her back to the palace .

When she asked me who I was, I told her that I was the prince .



Iris became very excited . She told me that she came to meet her future husband, the prince . And told me that she was going to be my bride .

But when returned to the palace, she realized that I was not the prince she was going to marry .

"… I cried a lot that night, you know . " Iris confessed . "Father even got angry and scolded me . "

"Is it so?" I tilted my head . "Well, not many noble daughters had the right to choose her husbands . "

Iris nodded . "… You are right . But I would have liked it if… No, nothing . "

I stared right into Iris's brown eyes and smiled .

Iris blushed slightly . She moved her gaze aside and sped up her steps . I smirked and followed after her .

At that moment, a strange noise came from a building near us .

Iris and I looked at each other with startled expressions . Then, we looked at the building where the noise came .

It was one of the institute's few abandoned buildings .
