Chapter 2: Princess Lia
Today is the first day of school at Warwick Kingdom Royal Academy.
Leon sat in the corner to the right of the classroom, holding up his head in boredom.
"Everyone be quiet!" a loud voice sounded from the podium, "from today on, I will be your theoretical mentor. My name is Hawke, please advise. ”
"Hello Mr. Hawke!"
"Well, most of you should be meeting for the first time, so let's introduce yourselves. Start by seat, start with ...... Let's start with the last one on the right!"
"Haha~" The whole classroom burst into laughter.
Leon was inexplicable, slowly stood up, and muttered in his heart: "How can anyone start from this position." ”
"I'm Leon Frank of the Frank family, a half-elf, please give me a lot of advice in the future. Leon sat down again.
Although everyone had known that there was a half-elf in the class, when they heard it say it in person, they still let out a burst of exclamation.
"Next, then," Hawke motioned for silence.
"My name is ......"
Leon propped his head in one hand and twisted his head out the window, he didn't care about other people's self-introductions, because he was now wondering if Wendy was also in class.
"Hey, hello. Suddenly, a small greeting came from the right.
Leon turned around, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed man who had been sitting to his right accosted him again.
"My name is Kerry Dieng, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Leon Frank, I'm glad to know you, too. ”
"May I ask you a question?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
"Well, why did you come to the theory class?"
"Because I can only come to the theory class. ”
"No, are you really an elf without any magical powers, as rumored?"
Leon frowned, slightly unhappy.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the nobles in the royal capital are all spread like this, and I accidentally said it, I didn't mean it. Kerry clasped his hands together and apologized.
Judging by his sincerity, he should indeed be straightforward and fast-talking, and he said it without thinking about anything.
"It's okay, I really don't have magic. ”
"I see. But it's the same for everyone, and the people here don't have magic. ”
"Haven't you considered learning martial arts?"
"Don't be kidding, where do we do such a hard thing as learning martial arts. Kerry gave up on Leon.
Leon was speechless, as if it were. Those who learn martial arts are ordinary aristocrats, and unless there is a family that uses martial arts as a family that has been passed down from generation to generation, few others will take the initiative to learn martial arts. After all, the cultivation of weapons is too hard, and it is not acceptable to these sons and young ladies.
Finally it was lunchtime.
I don't know why Kerry followed Leon to the cafeteria, got a meal, and sat down together.
"Why follow me?" Leon was a little puzzled.
"Aren't we friends?"
"......" This guy has taken his own hands as a friend.
"Don't be so outward!" Kerry said, with a look of familiarity.
Suddenly, there was the sound of plates falling to the ground and shattering at the collar table, accompanied by the contempt of one of the men.
"Even you, dare to sit here and eat with a high-sounding sound?"
"That's it. Several young men with fake tigers also chimed in.
"I'm sorry, brother, I'll go back to the dormitory right away. At this time, a weak and helpless, slightly crying girl was apologizing.
"How many times have I told you, don't call me brother! It's disgusting, to be called that by a slave!"
"Okay, His Royal Highness Prince Barron, I'll leave right away. With that, the girl prepared to take the remaining two plates of food away.
"Wait, who allowed you to take it?" Prince Barron said suddenly.
"But, this is my lunch......" The girl was very flustered, and she could see that this was not the first time this had happened.
Barron didn't pay any attention to this, and slowly picked up the remaining two plates of food and poured them to the ground in front of the girl. And stepped on it twice.
"You can take these things back and eat them now, hahahaha!" Prince Barron instantly felt happy, and several noble sons behind him also laughed.
The girl stood there without her head bowed, without moving, and no one could see her expression. The people around are also talking about it, and they are looking at the excitement.
"Who is she?" Leon asked Kerry.
"He is the king's eldest prince, His Royal Highness Prince Barron, the next successor to the king. The first standing behind was Frog, the heir of the House of Pollitt, and the second was ......"
"I didn't ask them, I asked the girl!" Leon interrupted Kerry without waiting for Kerry to finish.
"Oh, that is the king's seventh daughter, Princess Leia. ”
"Then why ......" Leon wanted to ask why the princess was bullied like this.
Kerry seemed to understand Leon's doubt.
"She was a princess, but her mother was a slave. I heard that it was the temptation of His Majesty the King who was drunk that she became pregnant with Princess Liya. Therefore, Princess Liya has always been regarded as a disgrace to the royal family, and her treatment is similar to that of a slave, which is something that the nobles in the capital know. ”
Ria stood still, slowly kneeling on the ground, ready to pick up the trampled food, for it was the only food she had.
Prince Barron smiled sickly, as if humiliating the slave for his own pleasure had become an integral part of everyday life.
Just as Liya's hand was about to touch the food, she was suddenly grabbed by her slender but strong hand.
The food that Kerry stuffed into his mouth had fallen out of his gaping mouth, for it was none other than Leon who had grabbed Princess Lea.
"Don't pick it up!" Leon pulled Lea to her feet.
"But ......"
Ria wanted to say something, but Kerry had already interjected. He bowed his head and apologized to Prince Barron: "Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, he's new here, so he's a little impulsive." ”
"What, it's a boy from the Warren family. Barron said dismissively.
"Thank you for remembering me, so we'll take our leave. After saying that, he picked up Leon and walked out, and whispered to Leon: "Who doesn't know that this matter must not be managed?!"
"I don't know!" Leon replied in front of everyone, ignoring Kerry's intentions.
Everyone exclaimed, they didn't expect that there were still people in the capital who dared to go against the prince.
"Wait, don't, you're going to ......" Lea shook her head at Leon, scared to the point of incoherence.
Originally, Prince Barron wanted to see if this newcomer would be scared when he knew his identity, but he was stunned and not afraid.
Prince Barron, who had no face, was so angry with him that he wanted to arrest him directly and beat him severely.
"What's your name!" Prince Barron suppressed his anger.
"Leon Frank. ”
"Leon Frank, a name I've never heard before, where did it come from......"
Before the words "country nobles" were finished, Prince Barron seemed to have something in mind. It was only when he noticed Leon's two pointed ears. I thought: Damn, it's the waste elf of the Frank family!
Although he is not afraid of the Frank family, which is one of the two nobles of Warwick, after all, he is a royal family. But the mother of the man in front of him was the one that the whole kingdom feared.
Prince Barron gritted his teeth: "Count yourself lucky, let's go!"
Seeing Prince Barron leave, Kerry finally breathed a sigh of relief. Let go of Lyon.
Liya looked at the trampled food, which she couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Leon ignored this, and pulled Lea to his desk.
"Wait, where are you going to take me?" Liya fell into a panic again, she was terrified of such a life, anyone could trample on her life at will, she was so small in front of anyone, so small that she was at the mercy of others.
Leon pulled Lea down from the seat he had just sat in and let go of Ria's hand.
Lea rubbed her hand that was scratched by Leon.
"Sit down and eat this. Leon said to Lea, pointing to the meal he hadn't started yet.
"But what about you if I eat it?" Liya didn't believe what she heard, did he really want to eat the food in front of him?
"It would be nice to buy another copy. With that, Leon walked to the sales window.
Leon brought over a new meal and sat down next to Riya.
"Thank you!" Liya whispered.
"It's nothing, let's eat it. From now on you will eat with me, and no one will be able to trample on your food. Leon said as he ate.
"But......" Liya hesitated.
"Nothing good!" Leon was so resolute that Lea couldn't refuse.
"Brother, you just got into trouble with the prince on the first day you came, and it will be very troublesome in the future. Kerry reminded from the side.
"We'll talk about that then. Leon continued to take a bite of food.
"That's right, it's useless to worry about it now. Do you have any plans for the afternoon? Because on the first day, the afternoon is free. ”
"Go back to the dorm and do your laundry!"
"Poof, hahahaha......" Kerry almost squirted out his rice.
"What's so funny?" Leon didn't understand what Kerry was laughing at.
"Brother, are you really a nobleman, and how can anyone come to school without a maid?"
"Is that so? did you bring a maid?" asked Leon, turning to Ria.
"Nope. Liya replied a little embarrassed, because she didn't have a maid at all.
"Look, she didn't bring it either. ”
"It's different, you don't bring a maid, how are you going to fix that?" said Kerry leaning into Leon's ear.
"Which one?"
"That's the one! the one that men love!"
In Kerry's view, this is a perfectly normal thing. Male aristocrats with maids, in addition to taking care of daily life, is to solve that aspect of things. After all, maids are generally slaves bought by themselves, and they can play as much as they want, and they can change it if they break it, which is convenient and fresh.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Leon continued to cook the meal.
"Oh my God, what kind of environment did you grow up in to be so twisted?" said Kerry, incredulously.
"By the way, let's get to know each other first, my name is Leon Frank, what about you?" Leon turned his head and asked Leah, although he knew her name, but looking at her restrained appearance, he still wanted to find something to talk about to ease the atmosphere.
"Leah Warwick, my name is Leah Warwick. Thank you very much for today, Lord Leon. Liya said gratefully.
"Don't be so restrained, just call me Leon. If you call me Leon-sama, then I won't have to call you Princess Lea every time. ”
"Okay, Lyon...... Leon!" Lia replied with a smile.
It was the first time in a long time that she had laughed. I can't remember the last time I laughed.
After eating, Kerry wanted to go out to the capital to play, so he left first.
Leon and Lea walked together towards the dormitory.
Leon sent Lea to the door of the dormitory and said, "Then, I'll go back to do the laundry first, goodbye." Then he turned and left.
"Wait, my clothes are also washed by myself, if you don't mind, I can ....... Liya lowered her head, her voice getting quieter.
"What?" Leon didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing!" Liya quickly shook her head.
"See you tomorrow, then. ”
"Well, see you tomorrow. ”
