Chapter 273: 273
After that, I explained the situation to Daisy .
Daisy was understandably surprised, but she took it much better than Iris . As a servant of the palace, she had seen her share of the atrocities perpetrated by the nobles .
In fact, she would have been a victim of such atrocities if not by the fact she was my personal servant . And even like that, she several times was close to being a victim .
The recent incident about the theft of a ring was just one of many .
After we met with Daisy, the group of now three people continued wandering in the forest .
We met with student enemies several times during the way, but we easily manage to avoid them or defeat them .
Just like that, the first day of the expedition ended .
When the sun finally set, and darkness arrived at the forest, we stopped to make a camp using portable magic tents .
Portable magic tents were a kind of magic tool . In their normal form, they were the size of a small block and they were also pretty light, making them easy to carry around . But when you put mana into them, the arrays inside activate and the block expands, turning into a tent with the basic functions to camp outdoor .
This kind of magic tool is a bit expensive, but something even the poorest nobles can afford . Of course, if you want a tent of better quality and with better functions, you need to pay a higher price .
And as a prince, it's obvious my tent was of the highest quality, it was the same for Daisy, who got her tent from me . Iris's was not too shabby, but obviously inferior compared to ours .
After the camp was ready, we set up a bonfire and had a quick dinner, before assigning the night duties .
Daisy offered herself to the first watch, and I, as the only man in the group, took the most difficult second watch . Thus, Iris was in charge of the third and last watch .
Aware that she needed to recover as much energy as possible for tomorrow, Iris went to sleep after eating dinner .
I, on the other hand, remained outside with Daisy .
As soon as Iris left, Daisy smiled happily and seated beside me, leaning her head on my shoulder .
"… It's nice to be together like this, your highness . "
I smiled and stroked her head . "I think so too . "
"Are you not going to sleep?"
"I think I'll accompany you . Don't worry, losing this bit of sleep will not affect me . "
Daisy nodded in agreement . She knew a bit about my true abilities, so she did not doubt my words .
Instead, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, not even bothering about being wary of a night attack .
After all, with me beside her, she had nothing to be afraid of .
"By the way, your highness, do you have a plan regarding the situation?" Daisy asked .
I nodded . "I do . I'm planning to use it to our advantage . "
Daisy looked at me confused, so I smiled and explained to her the gist of the plan .
When I finished speaking, Daisy was astonished .
"… Your highness, you are so bad . "
"Girl, you should not speak like that to your husband . " I grinned maliciously and hugged her waist .
Daisy twisted her body playfully and blushed . After that, we shared a short kiss, followed by another .
Ten or so kisses later, an out-of-breath Daisy moved away unwillingly .
"Then, your highness, when are we going to meet with the princess?"
"Soon . Dina is already working on contacting the other students with the help of the teachers . I, on the other hand, need to take care of another thing first . "
"Another thing?" Daisy tilted her head cutely .
I smiled and looked towards the tent where Iris was sleeping .
An expression of realization appeared on Daisy's face .
"So, you are aiming for Miss Iris, huh . " Daisy understood .
I nodded . "Actually, my relationship with Iris is complicated . She actually likes me instead of her fiancée, Bryan . In fact, she hates him . But although she hates him, Iris is a good girl . She doesn't dare to betray her morals and the expectations of her family .
"In normal situations, Iris will never betray Bryan . Instead, she will reluctantly agree to marry him for the wellbeing of her family, sacrificing her happiness for them . "
"… And what your highness wants is to make her voluntarily betray him, right?"
