Chapter 76
Translator: CasBrin
Yesterday Father was really quite pigheaded .
Even though I tried to complain during dinner about the compulsory dormitory system, he left saying he had work to do and wouldn’t let me into his study . After banging on his door I was dragged away and locked in my room . Even though it was treason to separate me and Michelie, Father wouldn’t listen to our sisterly bond .
“Even if I go to the Royal Academy, it’s not like classes are compulsory . Most of all, I’ve already studied everything in the curriculum anyway! So there’s no reason I have to go . Isn’t that right charles!”
“Exactly Chris!”
The one who responded, eyes gleaming with spirit was Charles .
Even though he was royalty he was so cute always coming over to visit my house . He had already turned 11 this year . Although he and Michelie used to be the same height, Charles has grown to be quite a bit taller .
Even so, his honesty was still his greatest asset, as his emotions were clear on his face . For some reason my fiance was quite pleased when I relayed the situation to him this morning .
“Today Chris is so lively!”
“Of course! because I’m angry now!”
It seems like Charles had taken a different meaning from all this than me, but it didn’t matter . I was in high spirits . I held up my clenched fist above my head to show just how mad I was . Charles raised his hand with a “wow” .
“I thought Father was a better father than this! To try and separate Michelie and me… . Oi Charles! Do you have anything to add!”
“Yup!”
“Okay, let it out!”
It seemed Charles did after all have have some thoughts on the forced separation of Michelie and me . As expected of my fiance .
At my encouraging response Charles opened his mouth in good humour
“It serves you right!”
“Look Charles, I get it, you are courageous as always in volunteering to fight for me… . . !”
My smiling face was shocked as I realised what Charles had just said and I grabbed his face in my hands . In my previous life they called this move the iron claw . I put all my strength into twisting as hard as I could .
“It hurts! This really hurts Chris!?”
“Make peace with it . While I am fond of you, I am still a strict lady . ”
Charles tried to pry himself out of my iron claw, but being older my grip was stronger .
Never ever will I lose! How could his reaction to my justified speech be “Serves you right” . Even someone as gentle as me will snap . His timing especially had fired me up .
“While I’m happy you said you’re fond of me, you’re misunderstanding! I wasn’t saying that it serves you right Chris!”
“Oh really now?”
I considered Charles’ appeal for a moment, as a doubt was born . I relaxed my grip ever so slightly .
“Then what did you mean?”
“I meant it serves Michelie right? So let me go already!”
“I understand . we’re going to go into overtime now . Resolve yourself Charles . ”
“Wh- why?!”
WHy on earth would this kid think I’d let him go with that . He had just dug his grave deeper .
No matter how Charles complained or screamed I didn’t let him go . I was now putting in more power than before .
As I was punishing Charles a voice came from the side .
‘Oi Christina Noir Let him go—Wah?!”
Turning in the direction of the voice, I threw a nearby jewelry box at them . I thought it was quite a weak throw, but the target screamed when it hit the mark .
“Bastard… . Just what are you trying to pull?! The hell do you think I am . How dare you disrespect the crown prince like this!”
“Just when did you sneak into my room you perverted prince!”
“Who you calling a perverted prince?!”
I really don’t think I need to tell you all the names of my enemy shouting at the moment .
With straight blonde hair and blue eyes slightly different to Charles’, it was His Highness Endo . He was a species of annoying bug that would occasionally follow Charles here when he came to visit . While I was busy with Charles he has snuck into my room, I hadn’t noticed him at all until now .
“Ah, it’s you Big Brother”
In order to beat up this idiot who forced himself into my room, I released the iron claw . Charles approached Endo as if he hadn’t just been tortured .
“What are you doing here Big Brother . Weren’t you keeping Michelie company?”
“Aaah . I went to her room, but she wasn’t it sight . Oi Christina Noir . Where’s MIchelie?”
“Well now . That’s something even I don’t know . ”
I played dumb to His Highness’ Royal Inquiry .
Of course I actually knew where she was . Since Endo was coming here, Michelie had run away from her room . She’s probably off doing embroidery with a maid somewhere . She’ll come out again once Endo’s gone .
“I see . Michlei is inconsequential, so it’s fine that Chis doesn’t know . ”
“Shut it . ”
“Ow-”
As usual I couldn’t understand the aggression between Charles and Michelie, so I lightly chopped him on the head .
“Hah . Well, since it seems Michelie is busy there’s no helping it . But from that talk just then… . bastard, It seems you didn’t know about the dormitory system until now . You have no self respect . ”
“Shut it you good-for-nothing Prince! What a hobby you have, eavesdropping . ”
“When things don’t go your way, do you always resort to slander? Pathetic . I basically only come during the seasonal school break . How did you not even realise?”
“Seasonal school breaks……? Ahh, I see . ”
After all, this year Endo’s visits have always been in the seasons of Summer or Spring . Thinking about it Endo is one year older, so he’s definitely a student there . I see . He came during the twice yearly holiday period . I didn’t realise because I don’t pay attention to someone like Endo .
“My bad, because his highness shows up only in summer and winter, I thought it was just you being weird as usual . So I didn’t really think about it much . ”
“What the hell am I to you anyway?!”
“Hmm? Didn’t I just say so now?”
“But Chris, you really have no choice about the dormitory . Finally Michelie is the one who gets left behind for once . ”
“The first part was right . I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear the second part . This is advice from your older brother . Don’t hang around with this one . Her stupidity will run off on you . ”
“How about you stop talking to Charles . You’ll corrupt my fiance and turn him into an idiot and pervert like you Perverted prince!”
I will never get along with this asshole . Since he had fallen in love with Michelie at first sight two years ago, he has been appearing now and then like a stalker to visit her at our house . No way would I ever get along with that . He sticks to her like a bug . He isn’t even good enough to face Michelie, so I’ve been running interference . Even if he gets through my interference, and manages to meet Michelie, it’s not like this useless bug can try anything .
“Oi Christina Noir . Quit calling me a perverted prince . It’s way too harsh… . !”
“Hah . I can call scum like you whatever I want to . Since that was what you promised two years ago . ”
“Grrr-”
With a chuckle I proudly squash Endo’s resistance .
There’s nothing wrong with calling a pervert trying to close in on my little sister a pervert to his face and I have no intentions of changing that after this . The special rights I received two years ago have come in more use than I thought they would . Since the only thing this idiotic prince has is his ridiculously high pride, since he put forward the conditions, there’s no way he would break his word .
“Then shall we have another duel with swords this time? My training has been paying off . ”
Since the incident with Endo, Mariwa has been teaching me the basics of self defense . Even Mariwa agreed that it was a good idea to be able to protect myself . furthermore, for some reason only in our self defense classes ‘… . You have good muscles’, Mariwa unprecedentedly praises me .
While I had never actually fought with anyone, since Mariwa praised my skill, I think I will be fine .
I’ve already given up suspecting why Mariwa knows how to train the body . It’s just mariwa . I’d be more surprised if there were things Mariwa couldn’t teach .
Endo crossed his arms and turned away to my teasing proposal .
“Fuuun . Can you even fight against a girl with a sword?”
Seems this fool who tried to have a duel with me in the past was babbling on about something .
It seems Viscount Igusa’s teaching has improved since two years ago but still… . . “Charles . Get away from that idiot . Come here . ”
“Yeah ……sure?”
“Hold on a second”
As Charles obediently headed towards me Endo grabbed him to stop him .
“Oi woman . don’t deceive my little brother . Stay here, Charles . ”
“Yeah? um, I don’t really mind but… . ”
“I’m not deceiving anyone, he’s my fiance . Charles, It’s fine so come here . ”
“Okay-……”
Caught between me and Endo, Charles was trying to decide what to do . Of course neither of us would compromise to the other, so we glared at each other over Charles .
Unexpectedly, Charles who was stuck between us took hold of each of our hands .
“Oh?”
“hmm?”
With a complicated expression, Charles was drawing Endo and my hand’s towards each other . Our fingertips were barely touching . Even if this is such a Charles thing to do, since it’s so sudden I can’t respond immediately .
“Can’t we get along like this?”
“…… . ”
“…… . ”
Caught unguarded by Charles, I can only stare at my hand touching Endo .
Well, I mean, I get what Charles is trying to do . I can see what he wants to say . But still, this is . Basically, it’s that .
“It will dirty my beautiful lady skin”
“Don’t touch a royal like me, it gives me goosebumps”
It’s basically still the same conclusion .
No matter what Charles says, I will never try and be friends with this guy .
