In just a little while longer, well have finished the lap around the lake and have reunited with His Highness. Camille and I have walked as far as a place close to the rest spot. Having walked this far, we can see His Highness and Miss Beatrix between the gaps in the trees, but theres no sign of the villains making their move.

It might be a poor catch this ti. When I was thinking this, and was about to make my way back to His Highness, from the trees in the opposite direction of His Highness that we were, ca the presence of a number of people.

Miss Beatrix who was beside His Highness glared towards the presences with a severe expression. Her hand was against the grip of her sword. When I ran towards the presence of the villains, Camille surrounded His Highness with magic traps from between the gaps in the trees. Camille linked complicated magic from a long distance Lately, shes been becoming more and more inhuman.

Behind His Highness from the shade of the trees appeared roughly twenty n. All of them were dressed in black.

You are Prince Royce, arent you?

Thats right?

At the sa ti that His Highness gave a stupidly honest answer, the n all attacked him together. I wish His Highness would choose his words just a little better.

Your Highness, behind !

Miss Beatrix covered His Highness behind her back, and drew her sword. It was a largish curved sword. However, before Miss Beatrix had a chance to step forward, Camille activated her traps. The ground parted, thorny vines stretched out, and coiled around the black clothed n. The n who couldnt even move. It looks nothing but painful.

The n who were lucky enough to run from the vines were all struck about by my wind magic. Of course, I made sure not to take any lives. While watching them all, His Highness smiled happily as he spectated the event.

Achille, you cant kill any, okay?

Of course I know that. The only one who would make a blunder like that would be Camille, you know?

In the blink of an eye, the villains were all rounded up. It really ended too quickly.

They underestimated us too, huh~ For them to have thought they could do anything with assassins of this caliber.

Truly. It was so easy that on the contrary Im worried about it though.

His Highness sent off a communication spell towards the academy. Hes probably contacting his subordinates to have these knaves taken away.

Royce-sama! Im glad youre safe!

Camille ca flying on a quill.

Youre safe too, I see. Your vines this ti were well done.

Ehehe~

Camille was twisting and turning her body in happiness. Its completely the picture of a dog being happily praised by its owner. I tore away the fiance who had the right deanour for infidelity.

After a while, ten of His Highness subordinates ca running. We handed over the villains that we caught. After this, theyd probably be harshly interrogated.

Even though I invited you all the way here, Beatrix, it ended up quite a picnic, huh. Im sorry.

No

Miss Beatrix shooked her head.

Youre kind Next ti Ill give it my all to make sure you have fun, so wont you give a chance to do this over?

Just whose mouth is this coming out of? Im in awe at His Highness shalessness.

Your Highness.

Or could it be that because assassins will probably co after , that you dont want to go out with anymore?

Theres no way! That kind of thing-

Miss Beatrix was flusteredly denying it Even though it wouldve been fine to just say yes.

Thanks, Beatrix.

His Highness gave his trademark smile, and grasped Miss Beatrixs two hands.

Hahh.

Whilst looking troubled, Miss Beatrix was being coaxed by His Highness. However, its my first ti seeing a young lady who isnt swayed by His Highness sparkly attack.

After making sure Miss Beatrix made it to the Diamonds dorm safely, His Highness headed to the castle with a number of his guards. Hes going to deal with the aftermath. Unfortunately, Camille and I who arent formally his aides, are relieved of our duties as of this mont. Camille looked like she had regrets, and was repeatedly glancing at the back of His Highness who was leaving with other guards.

Achille

Camille suddenly muttered.

The incident this ti, did you know about it beforehand?

Yeah.

When I brought Camille to the lake, she probably realised sothing.

I knew it. We didnt bring the usualy guards, after all Why was it only , that was left out?

Camille was pouting just a little.

Because, if we told you Camille, youd start acting suspiciously, right? The plan this ti was to lure out the criminals.

Uu Then youre saying that this ti Royce-sama volunteered to play the bait?

Right. I was given an order, so I had to obey, after all. Starting from now, at the castle theyll be sniffing out the mastermind behind this, it seems.

That has nothing to do with , though

Its frustrating, isnt it.

Camille let out a rare sigh.

Camille and I are still in the position of students. And in the end, were nothing more than people His Highness have taken a liking to, and are by no ans his official aides. At tis like these, I feel vexed by the line drawn by our positions. Camille is probably feeling the sa.

At first, I thought Camille was just going to continue her job without going to any school. Shes like her father in that she loves magic and jobs that deal with them, after all. But the mont His Highness decided to go to school, she imdiately decided on entering as well. Whilst saying I have to determine what kind of person the heroine is or sothing nonsensical like that. Even now, she should be wanting to imdiately follow His Highness.

Camille, lets head back to the dorm.

Yeah

When I held out my left hand, Camille naturally took it. Im in no position to be saying this after making a move on her myself, but really, what defencelessness. Has she noticed it? That normally, as long as a man and woman of our age werent lovers, we wouldnt be holding hands like this
