“I’ll make you a chocolate latte.”
“I’ll buy you another box of chocolates, so eat as much as you want.”
Leonard disappeared to make a chocolate latte, and Noah emptied his pockets and handed ten more chocolates.
I was a little surprised that Noah was carrying eleven more chocolates than Leonard.
Are you thinking of selling chocolates?
I just found out that he likes sweet things.
Today, all the outsiders are entering the temple, and tomorrow, the parent observation class will begin right away.
And the sealing ceremony that ends the night of the dead will be held tomorrow at nine o’clock.
That ans we were given about a day. I was enjoying my break by eating the chocolate Noah gave and drinking the chocolate latte Leonard made .
There was a rule in the village that if a student from school worked part-ti in the village, they were given a break every hour.
The amount of money earned was less, but since a student’s duty was not part-ti work, what could I do?
I was also a student at St. Gloria Private School now.
“This candy.”
Mrs. Lewis, the owner of the cafe, filled a basket with candy and put it in front of us.
“I’ll have one.”
And the mont Leonard put his hand on the candy, Noah and I grabbed his hand.
I quietly looked at the candy and said.
“First, it would be better to collect all the candy.”
Leonard expressed his doubts at my words.
“Will the head of the academic affairs departnt just let it go?”
“That... there is a way.”
I said to Mrs. Lewis, who was sitting across from and blinking as if she didn’t understand our conversation.
“I have a favor to ask....”
And Mrs. Lewis, who heard my request, raised her thumb and said.
“If you have Ramport, there’s no problem. Don’t worry, Hastings.”
“? Suddenly? You should pay overti pay for this.”
Leonard, who was suddenly summoned, looked at Mrs. Lewis with a bewildered face.
Leonard would have a hard ti, but if Leonard could help him, it would be reassuring.
Ding.
At that mont, the cafe door opened and other custors ca in. Mrs. Lewis, Leonard, and I all got up from our seats to greet the custors at the sa ti.
The people who entered the cafe gave off an overwhelming feeling. From their clothes to the people who followed them.
The man in the lead was wearing a white uniform that only royalty would wear, with a gold armband and a blue band that ran from his right shoulder to his left waist.
‘I heard that’s the symbol of royalty.’
And golden hair that looked like the sun had been separated from it. No matter how you looked at it, it was the crown prince.
Now that I think about it, I rembered that the F class students had just reported the news of the influx of outsiders.
The man who ca in with a relaxed smile on his face and a backpack on his back looked to be about twenty-five and quite young.
The Pope followed him in. It was obvious to anyone that he was the Pope.
He was wearing a white processional mantle that only Popes can wear, along with a white zucchetto (a hat without a brim worn by priests).
The huge cross staff he held in his hand was the perfect symbol of the Pope.
Behind the Pope, a middle-aged man in his forties with blond hair who looked like a nobleman entered.
‘Huh? He looks like Easton.’
The middle-aged man, who looked exactly like the Lauderdale brothers, could imdiately tell that he was the Duke of Lauderdale. That’s how similar they were.
They looked around the cafe as if they were curious and ca in.
Mrs. Louise rushed forward to greet them.
“Welco!”
Leonard and I also bowed our heads to greet the guests. Instead, those who seed to be subordinates took our orders, and they greeted us politely and sat down.
Then, the crown prince noticed Noah sitting peacefully and greeted him cheerfully.
“Who is this! Isn’t that Eglinton? My childhood friend!”
Were you childhood friends with the crown prince?
Suddenly, I felt a wall around Noah. I knew he was from a great family, but how could he be childhood friends with the crown prince?
When the crown prince acknowledged Noah, the Duke of Lauderdale and the Pope also stood up with surprised faces.
It was quite a surprising sight. Did Noah feel an even bigger wall?
‘But why did those noble people co all the way here?’
While making drinks with Mrs. Louise and Leonard, I briefly discussed how they ca to this cafe.
“The Pope specifically said he wanted to co here.”
At that ti, a girl who was looking around the cafe explained that she had heard our conversation.
When we looked embarrassed because she had heard our conversation, the girl shrugged her shoulders and said.
“I didn’t an to eavesdrop. Those gentlen over there are just too boring.”
She pointed toward the Pope and the Duke of Lauderdale. Then the Duke of Lauderdale, who noticed the girl’s absence belatedly, called her over.
“Angela. What are you doing there? You should be with your father.”
The girl looked at the Duke of Lauderdale with a blank face and finally greeted us.
“I’ll go now.”
She seed very reluctant to go there, so she walked slowly, but eventually got scolded by the Duke of Lauderdale.
Leonard, who had been quietly watching her back, whispered.
“I guess she’s the rumored young lady.”
“The rumored young lady?”
It was Lady Louise who answered my question.
“There was a big fuss in the capital. The Duke of Lauderdale found his lost daughter.”
“Oh. I heard that story too.”
I nodded and looked at the girl called Angela. She looked about my age.
Will she also be admitted to St. Gloria’s Private School? Or will she transfer?
‘Well. It’s none of my business.’
I thought that while finishing my drinks and serving them with Leonard.
As I was putting the coffee and drinks on the table, the Crown Prince, who was talking to Senior Noah, noticed and looked surprised.
“Huh? When I looked closely, I looked a lot like soone......”
The Crown Prince pointed at and asked the Duke of Lauderdale.
“Duke of Lauderdale. Did you have another daughter you kept hidden?”
I wasn’t embarrassed anymore because I had been told that I looked like the Weston brothers all through school.
However, the Duke of Lauderdale was different. He looked up and down with a surprised expression.
His pupils were shaking fiercely like reeds as he looked at .
At that mont, the Pope’s sharp gaze turned to . He looked at and Noah with a very displeased expression.
‘What is it? Why are you looking at like that?’
His fierce gaze poured into my ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ face, making wonder if I had done sothing wrong.
Could it be that he was displeased with , a commoner, hanging out with nobles?
Surely the Pope wouldn’t have such prejudices?
After looking at for a while, the Duke of Lauderdale turned back to Angela and answered in a trembling voice.
“How could that be? My daughter is Angela. The Holy Father himself has proven it.”
Then the crown prince apologized, scratching the back of his head as if embarrassed.
“I brought up rude language. I apologize to all three of you.”
He apologized to the Duke of Lauderdale, Angela, and .
The crown prince apologizing to a commoner. I smiled softly, thinking that he was a true royal.
“It’s okay.”
However, the crown prince, who saw my smile, stared at my face for a mont as if he was surprised.
‘Why, why are you doing that?’
I was surprised and took a step back, but the crown prince ca closer to as much as I had moved away, with a look of fascination.
At that mont, a man blocked my path, and that was Leonard. At that mont, Noah also stood up and caught the crown prince’s attention.
“You should finish talking with .”
“Huh? Hey. Eglinton. I want to know the na of that pretty lady.”
“That’s not important right now.”
I saw Noah almost dragging the crown prince. No, is it okay to do that to the crown prince?
I was embarrassed, but no one said anything after seeing that scene. It seed that the two were very close.
I had heard that the Pope and the crown prince were attending this event, but seeing them in person made realize how influential St. Gloria Private School was.
I tried not to stand out unnecessarily and continued to serve the cafe and make drinks.
‘... ... Sothing is strange.’
After serving the coffee, I looked around the custors and noticed sothing strange.
I noticed that the Pope was wearing his zucchetto backwards. It seed like he was wearing his mantle backwards as well.
‘Was it always like that? I guess the people below don’t even notice that kind of thing.’
Isn’t that so strange? No one checked the Pope’s attire at official events.
Then I noticed the Pope stroking his long beard upside down.
‘... ... Huh?’
It felt a bit awkward and strange to stroke the beard from bottom to top instead of top to bottom.
As I was looking at the Pope so intently, he must have sensed my gaze and raised his head.
After a while, I saw him et my eyes and mutter sothing with his lips.
I looked closely at his lips.
“Die die die die die die die die die die.”
