A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 32 – Scion Wants Freedom

At the welcome banquet for freshmen, I met many people.

From territorial aristocrats with small estates to capital aristocrats residing in mansions in the capital.

Indeed, many sons of noble families came up to me to say hello.

As I talked with them, I listened to what people were interested in and organized it in my head.

“After training, I used to wander around the surrounding manor in my free time. In the process, I would go back and forth between various territories to save the merchant troupe a few times.”

“You mean it was at that time that you saved the Istanya Family Headquarters?”

“Yes.”

The story I told seemed to sound very interesting to the people gathered here.

Every time I tell a story about hunting monsters while wandering around the surrounding territory, wiping out bandits and robbers raiding a village, or saving a company in crisis, people around me respond with interest. Seemed

For me, it was like a daily routine, but it didn’t seem like it to them.

“Awesome. Was it because of the accumulated experience that my skills grew so quickly?”

“I will not deny it. Rather than training, I was able to gain more when I melted what I learned in the training in actual combat.”

“My professor said that too. It means that a person who has experienced both training and actual combat can reach a much higher level than a person who has only trained all his life.”

Since I chatted with the people gathered around me, quite a bit of time passed before I knew it.

“Cadet Alberto.”

At that time, a familiar voice was heard.

I turned my head in the direction I heard the voice, and there was a person I had met during the early morning training.

“Ah, you are the student president.”

“Are you enjoying the banquet?”

“As you can see. Wouldn’t that be enough to say that it’s fun?”

I reached out and pointed at the people gathered around me, expressing my honest feelings.

Although it was a bit difficult, it was a lot of fun talking to people.

“I see. Do you have any plans to join the student council?”

The student president seemed to hesitate for a moment before handing over the offer to join the student council.

“Student president, did you propose to join the student council?”

“As expected, are you trying to preoccupy talented people who are likely to succeed?”

“Among freshmen, Prince Alberto is the number one recruiter for the student council.”

When the student president handed me a proposal to join the student council, the people around me showed various reactions.

Most of the responses were positive, such as that I am a talented enough person to join the student council.

“What does the student council do?”

“By and large, it is the Student Council’s job to mediate disputes between students and to protect order in the Royal Academy by punishing those who do wrong.”

Hmm. Arbitrate disputes, punish, and maintain order.

Unfortunately, it’s not something I’d be interested in.

“How will you join the student council?”

I don’t know if I’ll feel bad if the student council president hears it, but I didn’t want to go to a position with a lot of responsibility like the student council.

What I wanted most from the Royal Academy was to enjoy freedom.

Of course, only within the line that I can be responsible for.

When given free time, going out to the streets and eating delicious desserts has been my pleasure in life.

And, more than anything, if you enter the student council, the opportunity to go out for free practice is reduced.

As for this free practice, it was literally going out to the Royal Academy and experiencing real combat to prove what you have learned and learned.

First-year cadets who have just entered the school have not yet been given the right to free practice, but they will be given the right to free practice when they advance to the second grade next year.

The words are free practice, but in fact, it was no different from saying that you should go on an adventure to the world and gain experience.

What I was aiming for was a free practice that I could apply for starting next year.

In other words, it was to acquire the qualifications to roam the world legally.

By the way, once you get into the student council, you have to spend time with the cadets, let alone free practice.

Of course, some benefits will be given to me, but I prefer to freely roam the world rather than those benefits.

So, I politely declined the student council president’s proposal.

“Sorry. You don’t seem to be interested yet.”

“I see… Well, I guess it’s still too early. Please come back later.”

The student council president left those words and walked away from me.

As the student president walked away, people around me started asking me questions.

“Prince Alberto. Why did you decline the offer to join the student council?”

“From the time I entered the Royal Academy, there was something I really wanted to do. If I wanted to achieve that dream, I wouldn’t be able to join the student council.”

“You can’t achieve that by joining the student council?”

“Yes. After all, if I joined the student council, wouldn’t there be more time to wander outside of the Royal Academy?”

I politely answered people’s questions.

“You are arrogant. Prince Alberto. The Royal Academy is not a place you go to make your dreams come true.”

At that time, an unfamiliar voice came from behind me.

I carefully turned my head and there stood a woman with long emerald hair.

It could be said that she was truly a world-class beauty, with long, thick eyelashes and light makeup that made her beauty stand out.

“Meet the four and three princesses.”

Through the words of the people around me, I could tell that she was the Three Princesses whom I had only heard about in her own words.

From noble mtl dot com.

A ‘sleep educator’ who was said to have planted high heels on the head of a slut who seduced him at a banquet.

She was standing in front of me.

“Meet Her Highness, the Princess.”

I also got down on one knee and bowed to her.

“All right. Wake up everyone. This is the Royal Academy. At this time, as cadets, we are all on equal footing.”

I was surprised to hear what the princess said.

Generally, shouldn’t members of the imperial family act more arrogant and rampage?

No, it could just be my prejudice, so I’ll have to stay still for now.

“Prince Alberto. When I told you that you showed hot taste to the wretch of the Bedoran family, I evaluated you well.”

“Thank you. Her Highness the Princess.”

“However, what you just said will never go unnoticed. Why don’t you think of using your abilities to serve the Royal Academy through the Student Council?”

The Three Princesses asked me a question.

Her question was about my attitude.

She was born into the bloodline of the imperial family, and having heard and seen and grew up in her palace, it would be natural for her nobles to be loyal to her country.

Of course, the duty of nobles is to be loyal to the emperor and country they serve.

And I wanted to be loyal to the country in my own way.

“Your Highness the Princess. Has Her Highness ever been outside the imperial palace?”

“Outside the Imperial Palace… You mean?”

“Yes. Because the world is not limited to the imperial palace. I was asking if you had ever experienced the world outside the imperial palace.”

I asked the princess a question in reverse.

The question was if she had ever gone outside the imperial palace.

At first glance, it may sound rude and arrogant, but there was a part of me that believed in it.

“I rarely went out except to attend banquets of other noble families. Why are you asking that?”

“If you went outside the imperial palace, you would have traveled by carriage, right?”

“Of course. It’s so far that it’s hard to get there if you don’t take a carriage.”

Ah, yes.

It seems that Her Highness, the Three Princesses, has never been able to properly enter the world outside of her.

“With these two legs, I have traveled all over the country. Do you know what I saw and experienced in the places I went to?”

“When you say what you saw and experienced, what is your intention?”

“Being a member of the student council at the Royal Academy and serving, and going out and helping people in need. What is the difference between the two?”

At my question, Her Highnesses fell into thought.

Perhaps it was difficult to answer.

In the essential sense of service, the things I said made little difference.

Only the target of service was different, but in the end it was beneficial to the Bregern Empire.

If you guide the cadets of the Royal Academy correctly so that they do not stray, as a result, talents who will serve the Bregern Empire will be born.

On the contrary, when I go out to help people in trouble, rescue people in crisis, and punish those who plot evil, the Bregern Empire becomes safer and stronger.

No matter which way you choose, it will lead to the interests of this country.

“Nothing… Are you saying there is no difference?”

“Yes. Her Highness the Princess. Certainly, in this Royal Academy, there must be someone better suited to the student council than I am. And I think, rather than the student council, I am serving this country as an aristocrat by traveling around this country and helping people in need.”

“… ….”

Hearing my answer, the three princesses closed their eyes tightly.

And then, after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at me with a calm face.

The emerald hair and the same emerald eyes were really impressive.

“Yes. Traveling the outside world, serving this country by helping those in need. Is that your dream?”

“It is just the process of realizing my dream.”

“Then, what is the dream you are talking about?”

Her Highness asked me a question.

What am I talking about, this dream?

Of course, if you say that you eat delicious desserts while traveling around the world, you will be arrested for contempt of the imperial family.

I can’t. In this case, it is necessary to turn around and speak.

“It is my dream to create a world where anyone in the Bregern Empire can enjoy sweet desserts and live happily.”

So, in a word, I want to live peacefully while eating dessert.

I couldn’t bear to say that I wanted to do that.

“Hmm.”

Her Highness, the three princesses, was looking at me with her eyes, saying she didn’t like her.

What is it, could it be that my true feelings were caught?

“I will remember those words of Prince Alberto clearly. Please, I just hope that you will not act out of decency.”

Her Highness, the three princesses, glared at me once and then avoided her seat.

“After… ….”

Really. Being a socialite is so difficult.

The banquet continued even after Her Highness left.

We immersed ourselves in the sea of stories again and enjoyed the banquet.

–

The three princesses of the Bregern Empire.

Irene Malio Ruminus Bregern remembered the man she had been talking to a while ago on the way to her dormitory after leaving the banquet hall.

‘Alberto Salijar Maydern… ….’

She didn’t like Alberto.

Not to mention answering her own words, she didn’t like that she showed a relaxed appearance even in front of herself as the princess.

That kind of attitude is mainly because it is found in so-called fools.

Among the people she has met so far, those who have been classified as idiots have talked back to her, pretended to be very relaxed and had a flirtatious attitude.

She hated people like that the most.

Jagoro, it was her idea that, as a noble of the Breggern Empire, she should always be neat, behave properly, and obey her superiors.

“Oh, really, what an annoying person.”

“Your Highness the Princess. Is there anyone who made you feel uncomfortable?”

“Yes. There is.”

From the way she talked back to her own words, Alberto was already firmly attached to her.

“Abama told me not to touch the man, but I wouldn’t mind doing a background check without touching him. Please investigate the person named Alberto.”

“I will instruct someone to do a background investigation.”

At Irene’s words, her attendant nodded her head.

If her father found out, she would be greatly astonished, but thinking that it would be okay if she didn’t get caught, she thought of letting people know that Alberto was a fool.

From noble mtl dot com.

Even so, she wanted to subjugate him and make him a worker for the Breggern Empire.

‘Let’s see. Prince Alberto. I will subdue you and make you a faithful servant for the imperial family and the empire.’

Princess Irene smiled sinisterly inwardly, anticipating the day when she would subdue Alberto.
