Chapter 16: The Black Princess of the Lanceway House

"So, in the end, he stayed there alone?" the black-haired and black-eyed girl asked in an indifferent tone after taking a sip of black tea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

She sat on the bench at the small round table, and her demeanor was elegant and calm, and she looked like a princess born noble. In fact, although she was only adopted by the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions three years ago, as the adopted daughter of the Grand Duke, she can indeed be regarded as a real princess in the Northern Regions.

"Hmm. Camilla, who was sitting on the other side of the small round table, nodded at the girl in the black dress: "This is what happened yesterday, but I don't know what happened to the black in the end." ”

"Camilla, there's no need to worry about that guy, he must be fine. The expressionless girl said indifferently,

"Hehe, Mr. Adolf said the same thing. Hearing her best friend's words, Camilla covered her mouth and chuckled, "But, yes, he's so powerful, he should be fine." ”

After a pause, the cherry-haired girl lowered her head slightly, and her index finger slid back and forth on the teacup in her hand: "If only one day, I could become as mature and reliable as Kuro." ”

"Camilla, that guy isn't much more mature than you!" After hearing Camilla's muttering, the black-haired girl who knew the nature of a certain otaku immediately denied: "Don't look at him as a person who has come over, his hand must be trembling before he stabs it with a sword!"

"How so?"

"Why not, in fact, many heroes are often just made up by the brain. ”

"But ......"

"Camilla, don't let him fool you, that guy is nowhere near as calm as he pretends. ”

Seeing that she couldn't convince her stubborn best friend, Camilla, who didn't want to continue arguing with her in this regard, smiled bitterly at the black-haired girl who was a year younger than herself, "Okay, let's take it as you say......"

The dark-haired girl, who noticed Camilla's disapproval, turned her head, closed her eyes, and gently sipped her black tea again.

Although he didn't make any expression on his face, his expression was as if he was saying: That's how it is!

Looking at such a girl, Camilla felt both cute and pity.

The Grand Duke of the Northern Regions, Miles Lancewayne, was known for his good deeds, and the number of people who have received his favor is innumerable. The world calls this Grand Duke by the name of the "Good Serpent", not only because the family coat of arms of the House of Lanceveen is two black and white snakes entwined together, but also because the Grand Duke himself is armed with a white serpent that symbolizes pure goodness.

Three years ago, this good man, who was nearly forty years old and still had not yet married a wife, showed compassion for the sinners who had been ostracized and oppressed by the citizens of the empire, and he adopted a black-haired and black-eyed sinnerish girl as his adopted daughter amid the incomprehension and rebuke of many nobles.

And it is rumored that the adopted daughter of the Grand Duke, the only one of the criminals who was allowed to live in the Upper Parts of the North, was extremely proud! This lucky man, who had been favored by the Grand Duke, had never smiled in front of anyone, not even the Grand Duke himself.

This undoubtedly made the nobles who did not approve of the Grand Duke's adoption of the maiden, as well as the Grand Duke's own retainers, extremely dissatisfied. These "noble people" who either wanted to get close to the Grand Duke himself, or simply hated the sinners, thought that this girl did not know what it meant to be grateful!

Whenever they were out of sight of the Grand Duke, they would slander the girl and maliciously make things difficult.

To their disappointment, however, the girl continued to go her own way, turning a deaf ear to these rumors and troubles.

She never frowned, never shed tears, never got angry, and naturally never smiled.

Rumors spread against her throughout Uptown, and in this era when black meant ominous, they called the sinner, who had always worn a black dress, the black princess of House Lancewayne.

But is this really the case?

Before really getting to know the black princess, Camilla, who was used to hearing rumors, although she didn't blindly believe it, she also felt that there might be some truth in the rumors. Because this world is not groundless after all.

However, when she really met Her Royal Highness the princess at school half a year ago and became a close friend with her, she learned that the truth of the truth is often not what people say.

The reason why she never smiled was not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't.

This delicate and beautiful maiden is more grateful to the Grand Duke than everyone else. More than anyone else, she wanted to smile at her adoptive father. But she seems to have been born with the ability to express her feelings with facial movements. She couldn't make any other expression than blink, neither laugh nor cry.

The reason why she never minds gossip is not because her temper is better than others, but because of this sometimes wise and sometimes cute girl.

She didn't understand at all......

Between the majesty of the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions, those forward-looking clowns who are good at playing with words always slander and make things difficult for her with extremely obscure and abstract words. For them, who have lived in this circle for more than ten years, such a language game is naturally easy to come by, and they understand its meaning. But for a commoner girl who has just entered the circle and rarely communicates with others, you can expect her to hear the subtle malice in those words..... I'm afraid I'll only be so angry that I vomit blood.

Not to mention that this girl has no expression at all......

Thinking of this, Camilla shook her head: "It's a pity, if you can make a smile or an angry face, it must be very cute." Moreover, that kind of meeting will not be misunderstood by others. ”

"There's no way around it. Her Royal Highness the black-haired and black-eyed princess shook her head: "This is the price I paid for getting something. ”

"Is there no cure?"

"The cost is called a cost because it is irreversible." The black-haired girl said as a matter of course.

"Who said that?" Camilla puffed out, "I'll definitely find a way to get you well in the future!"

"Well, I'll look forward to it. ”

"You're not expecting anything at all......

Listening to the black-haired girl's answer without expectation, Camilla couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

She just wanted to put her sister's shelf and educate this student well, so that she should not always be so pessimistic. And just at this moment, the maid's voice came from outside the door: "Miss Phil, Miss Camilla, sorry to disturb me. ”

"It's okay, come in. ”

With the permission of the black-haired girl, a maid about twenty years old pushed open the door and walked in, she bowed slightly to the two young ladies in the room and said, "It's rude, Miss Phil, Mr. Harris, the tutor that the Grand Duke has hired for you has come to the house, and he will teach you the content of your school for the next six months." The Grand Duke would like you to come over and meet your new teacher. ”

"Wait a minute!" Camilla exclaimed, "Phil, what's going on, why did you ask a tutor to teach the school, and you won't be coming to school next semester?"

"Yes, I was fired. The black-haired girl said calmly.

"When did it happen, why didn't I know at all?" Camilla couldn't believe it, even though Phil was a sinner, and she was greatly hindered from entering the school at the beginning. But after all, she is also the adopted daughter of the Grand Duke, why did the academy dare to expel her after receiving her for a semester.

"When you go outside the circle for a tryout. ”

"What did you do?" asked Camilla.

"I beat up my classmates. ”

"Why?" Camilla asked incredulously, she had never seen Phil hit someone.

"In the lower part of the city, they were seen chasing a little girl who was a criminal. ”

"They ......" Camilla only felt dizzy in her head, and she not only hit her feelings, but also hit more than one......

Shaking her head, Camilla forced herself to come to her senses and asked, "Wait, did you ask why they were chasing that little girl?"

"Although I later learned that it seemed that the kid had stolen the wallet of one of them, I went up and hit it directly. I wasn't in a good mood that day...... "Fei'er lowered her head and looked down, looked at her slightly flat chest, and silently added in her heart: Because not only was she attacked by someone, but she was also seen by someone else......

Seeing the black-haired girl bow her head, Camilla, who thought she was reflecting, hurriedly comforted, "It's okay, Fei'er, you are the daughter of the Grand Duke after all." If you admit your mistake or something, for the sake of the Grand Duke's face, there should still be room for redemption, right? Besides, it is impossible for a few of them to bite to death just because they were beaten by a girl, right? That would be too ungraceful!"

"It's a little heavier......," the black-haired girl's eyes panned to the right.

"Uh......"

"They probably have to lie down for ten days and a half months. ”

"How many are they?"

"Twelve. ”

After hearing the far unexpected figures, the corners of Camilla's mouth began to twitch: "Fei'er, let me ask, you single-handedly knocked all twelve of them down?"

"I don't even have a sword with that kind of thing. As if she had done an extremely trivial thing, the black-haired girl shook the cup in her hand and said flatly: "Then their father jointly put pressure on the school to expel me." ”

Now Camilla finally knew why there was no news about this matter, but it made it impossible for Mr. Hanparks, the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions, to expose it easily.

Although Fei'er is in the Mortal Department of Albert High Academy, as a nobleman, the students of the Mortal Department will also be required to learn some swordsmanship skills.

Twelve people besieged a girl but were beaten down by the other party, not to mention the aristocracy who values face more than life, even ordinary commoner boys are afraid that it is difficult to speak. Moreover, the pressure of the twelve families at the same time is no wonder that the academy will not be able to withstand the pressure.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Camilla couldn't help but mourn for three seconds for the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions: "Fortunately, Mr. Hampax's hair is originally white. ”

"Anyway, my father has grounded me since that day. Saying this, the black-haired girl with an expressionless face who looked a little heartless drank the black tea in the cup and stood up.

"It seems that I will only be able to see you in your house in the future. Seeing that the maid on the side was already waiting impatiently, Camilla, who knew that it was time to leave, also stood up.

"Not necessarily. Hearing Camilla's words, Fei'er, who walked to the door of the room, suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

"I don't plan to accept my father's arrangement to study at home. ”

"But Albert College is no longer ......"

"Who said there is only this one college in the Northern Regions?"
