Camilla was a princess.

A woman of such a noble status could not go out normally. Even if he went out of the palace by chance, all he did was watch the outside world under the strict escort.

I had to be escorted by someone to eat, change clothes, and even do errands in the bathroom. At least until she became someone’s wife and left the palace.

It was very rare for a good swordsman to devote his life to escort a princess, as shown in storybooks, so her escort changed several times.

And to be sure, this escort was the cutest escort she had ever met.

“Myaow.”

A small, black, adorable cat.

It was a little scary at first because it was black, but thanks to the cute cry unique to the kitten, my guard was soon relieved.

‘While I’m gone, this child will stay by your side and protect you.’

At this time, when Philip, who kept this little life as the princess’s escort, was away for external business, Camilla’s daily life was very monotonous, but it was quite happy.

“cute.”

The cat, Tania, climbed over her as she lay on the bed and curled up.

Actually, this little crab wouldn’t be able to escort or anything like that, but it wasn’t useless to feel good just by looking at it.

He also had such a good personality that he didn’t particularly hate it no matter how he was touched, and he followed him wherever he went, as if he really knew that he was an escort warrior.

Tania, who had been scratching her chin with her hind legs, suddenly stood up on Camilla’s chest and began sniffing her pajama pants.

“… is he?”

Embarrassed and burdened, Camilla put her hand in Tania’s armpit and lifted it up.

“Myong.”

A jagged pink tongue poked out from between the tiny snouts and licked Camilla’s nose and lips.

Camilla let Tania have her own way for a while, but then, unable to bear it any longer, began kissing Tania in the face.

“Eight! side! side!”

“Myaaaong!”

Tania disgustedly swung her forepaw, but there was no strength.

“princess. Are you inside?”

After playing around with Tania for a while, Camilla put Tania down in surprise when someone knocked on her door.

“Cheryl… Are you Cheryl?”

“yes. princess.”

“Oh, come on in.”

“yes.”

Cheryl used to stop at the villa at Philip’s request. I had to manage the library once every three days to fulfill my duty as a working scholarship student, but I spent time at the villa almost every day except that day.

Anyway, all of my classmates went back to their parents’ homes, and Johnny went on a trip with his older brother, Castler.

Fortunately, Camilla was mature enough to embrace Cheryl’s timid personality, so the two girls were able to get along quite well for a week.

“princess. The instructor has contacted me saying he will be back within the day.”

Camilla’s expression brightened at the happy news Cheryl had delivered. She liked the daily routine of hanging out with the cat without doing anything, but her original purpose was to watch Philip.

“Meow?”

Tania, who was sitting on the bed, also pricked up her ears and waggled her tail.

“Oh, the instructor is coming, so do you like it too?”

“Myong.”

Tania stepped over to Cheryl and pressed her paw on her knee. Cheryl knew that was a sign for a hug, so she took Tania into her arms.

“Looking at you asking to have dinner together, it looks like you won’t be back until late in the afternoon.”

“Do you have some time left? Umm… .”

After thinking for a while, Camilla proposed to Cheryl in a coy voice.

“Then why don’t we go out to the shopping district for a short walk?”

It was the first time she had experienced an environment where she was free to go out, so going out of the villa gave Camilla a thrill and pleasure as if she were breaking a taboo.

“Maybe? I like it too. princess.”

Cheryl nodded without thinking. Philip had already told her that he could go out with her if she wanted to, so there was no particular pressure on her.

‘… Could something happen around here?’

Rarely did time go by as fast as chatting with little girls while snacking on them. Especially if you share a hobby called reading.

The place they headed to was Crucell Bakery. With pocket money on her side, it was only natural that Sheryl frequented the place where she usually drool-dooled past.

“Remember the scene where Eluem declares in front of the nobles that he has no intention of marrying a man?”

“yes. I remember. You don’t know how much my heart trembled when I first read that part.”

Sitting on a terrace by the window, the two of them were talking about ‘The Female Knight, Eluem’, which has recently become sensational among young women.

“Are you Cheryl? Did you steal something? What kind of money did you come here for?”

It was Iner Wilson, who was in the same year as Cheryl. She was the daughter of a baron in western Calaria, and had little contact with Cheryl.

Even though they are in the same magic department, they are not very close or friendly.

The reason was simple. Cheryl remembered the sneering look she often gave her whenever she met her in the library.

The type of person who finds satisfaction in seeing people who are less fortunate than themselves.

Iner Wilson was that kind of person.

“… I don’t think we’re close enough to make jokes like that.”

Cheryl looked straight at the grinning Iner, instinctively trying not to lay her eyes on her.

“Oh, are you feeling bad? Sorry. Of course it was a joke. Of course, your friend Janis Murella gave you the allowance, right? I don’t know if exchanging pocket money is really between friends. Anyway, it’s nice to meet you here. Are you too?”

Camilla, who was quietly listening, blinked as if asking what that was. That girl seemed to have a knack for making people feel bad.

Interrupting could have disrespected Cheryl, so Camilla resisted the urge to snap.

Cheryl was also furious, but she questioned her in a calm voice.

“… don’t like me Iner? So you want to make me feel bad?”

Iner Wilson twisted the corner of his mouth, mocking Cheryl’s question.

“I? you? do you hate Can you? What are you even supposed to hate me for? I just don’t like it when a commoner girl who doesn’t even know the subject flirts with the aristocrats. Just a bit obtrusive?”

The soft-hearted Cheryl couldn’t stand her verbal abuse.

‘Why are you doing this to me?’

Camilla felt it was time for her to step in. Although their acquaintance was short-lived, Cheryl was a close friend to Camilla, who had few to call a friend.

“If you are done expressing your feelings of inferiority, would you please go back? Maybe it’s because my personal time is interrupted, so I’m trying to make myself feel a little worse.”

When the young girl who had been with Cheryl came forward, Iner Wilson tilted his head. Camilla didn’t look like a person of special status because she was wearing Lua’s similar-sized clothes instead of flashy street clothes.

However, it was possible to know that he was a child of a precious family because his appearance was not ordinary.

“What are you?”

“A junior from Cheryl’s club. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk to you anymore. My father asked me not to mix with a lowly person like you.”

“… Club juniors?”

Iner Wilson knew something about Cheryl’s travel club. Soon, she remembered that there was a first-year student from the common people in the club, and she gritted her teeth and raised her eyes.

“Are you that Lua or something, a lowly girl? You are also sponsored by the Oswald family, so can’t you see anything? Don’t be mistaken. Do you think Instructor Phillip Oswald got you out of pure goodwill? I’m still young, so I don’t know, but in a few years… … .”

Soon, indecent acts that a chaste aristocratic lady should never speak of were bursting out of Iner’s mouth like tongues.

Camilla’s face turned bright red as she listened to them. Not because I was particularly ashamed, but because I was angry at the words of that senior girl.

“… Is it okay to gossip about people you don’t even know well?”

When Camilla suppressed her anger and asked, Iner answered with a smile.

“If you’re a knowledgeable aristocrat, you probably don’t know about Philip Oswald, right? you want to deny Do you know why the instructor is quiet these days? Little girls get off guard pretty quickly if you treat them well. that’s what you’re aiming for actually look Look at the guys like Johnny who are friendly with that instructor.”

At the mention of Phillip, the lifesaver, blood vessels formed on Cheryl’s forehead.

“Don’t speak ill of the instructor. Iner… That alone is unforgivable.”

“Oh, did you fall for that instructor too? Umm… Well, you’re not an ugly face, so there’s no possibility. Even the body of an insignificant commoner is not that different from that of an aristocrat.”

Cheryl was so angry that she had to experience dizziness. It was the first time in my life that I was so angry.

“Then you are trying your best to get close to Johnny’s, but you’re taking your anger out on me because he won’t even deal with you, right? Even though the Wilson family is on the verge of bankruptcy due to a recent failed mine investment, wasn’t it too revealing? You approached not only him, but almost all the children from rich and powerful families at the academy, right?”

“… what?”

“You can hear a lot of rumors in the library, right? The story about the boyfriend you’re dating now. Senior Sendor Vegan in 5th grade. You came to the library together the other day and kissed secretly. I did more than that. Do you think I didn’t hear?”

“my… When did I?”

A panicked Iner shouted. Crucell Bakery was not empty, so if anyone heard, she could be the subject of rumors, at least until graduation.

Then someone else came to the place where the commotion had occurred.

“what’s the matter? They said they only bought bread and came back right away, so why did it take so long?”

Seeing that someone’s face, Iner started crying with tears like chicken droppings.

“Brother Cendor… he… They suddenly grabbed me and told me to listen to them if I didn’t want to find out that I was dating my older brother… .”

‘How can a person be so shameless?’

Camilla admired the change of attitude faster than light. Sendor Büsen, Iner’s boyfriend, glared at Camilla and Cheryl with a grim face.

“What are you guys? huh? Fearless bullying a good boy in the middle of a shopping mall? As a senior, I couldn’t just pass by, right? Follow me right away.”

He grabbed Cheryl’s shoulder, who was sure to be a commoner.

“Wow!”

At that moment, Camilla jumped up and slapped Sendor on the cheek. With the sound of skin rubbing against each other, Sendor laughed without even moving.

“… Put your hand on the senior’s body. You must be scolded firmly.”
