About ten minutes before Ange and Shane’s confrontation.
Ange, along with Lien and Kaine’s maids, walked towards the auditorium of the Royal Academy.
Soon, they almost reached their destination.
Ange looked around and asked.
“There are more maids and butlers than I expected.”
“Yes, there are many nobles among the students of the Royal Academy.”
“I see.”
Ange nodded in understanding at Lise’s explanation.
As the four of them walked and talked, people around them looked surprised.
Kage tilted his head at the reaction of the people around him.“Huh? Did someone come? Is it because of the Saintess?”
“No, it’s not. I’m currently using the Holy Perception Jamming, so it seems like a pretty impressive person has come.”
Saying that, the four of them ignored the people around them and continued walking towards the auditorium.
Then they arrived at their destination.
The four of them walked towards the guardian seats in the auditorium.
“You…”
Shane and Lise’s eyes met.
Lise spoke quietly to avoid causing trouble to those around her.
“I greet Shane, the head of the Elijah family.”
“…”
Instead of answering, Shane looked at her with cold eyes.
He looked at the group and said,
“I heard a rumor that David von Kaine has changed, but seeing his companions, it seems like it was just a false rumor.”
“…”
At those words, Lise remained silent.
That’s because her current status is nothing more than Kaine’s exclusive maid.
In reality, she is not in a position to speak on equal terms with the head of the marquis family in front of her.
As Lise silently cursed him in her mind, Shane continued.
“All the people here are women, including the one sitting next to that guy, who is my daughter. It seems like he’s still the same jerk as before.”
“Excuse me, what did you say?”
Ange, who had been holding back, finally exploded and approached Shane.
Shane frowned at Ange, who suddenly interrupted.
Normally, he wouldn’t react like this, but since Ange was using Holy Perception Jamming, it’s not surprising that he thought a maid had interrupted and reacted this way.
“It seems like he hasn’t even properly educated his maids.”
“Hmm. It seems like you didn’t receive proper family education.”
The Saintess used a family diss.
Shane, who had suddenly been hit with a family diss, frowned and was about to open his mouth when Ange continued her attack.
“You’re judging others without even looking properly. Hmm. You don’t seem to be skilled enough to look down on others.”
Shane’s eyebrows twitched.
He is the head of the Elijah family and one of the strongest on the continent of Leiston.
Yet, a mere maid of the David family is talking to him like this.
This is the first time he has ever experienced such humiliation.
As Ange and Shane glared at each other, the people around them felt something strange and glanced at them.
Meanwhile, Kaine, who was watching the situation,
“Damn it.”
The curse came out naturally.
For now, it’s clear from the reaction of the people around that Ange is using Holy Perception Jamming.
However, regardless of that, the people around them would think that the head of the Elijah family and a maid of the David family are glaring at each other.
‘Why don’t you just reveal your identity!’
As he thought this, he turned his gaze to Eileen.
She probably didn’t expect her father to come to the end-of-semester ceremony, so her pupils shook like an earthquake.
As the confrontation between the two people slowly dragged on, the student council president of the Royal Academy finally stepped in.
“It’s not good for the two of you to do this here.”
The student council president of the Royal Academy.
The current student council president is a character that didn’t appear in the game, but even so, she can’t be ignored.
The position of the student council president of the Royal Academy is higher than most nobles, and her skills are also formidable.
So it’s most efficient for her to step in and stop them like this.
Unless they know that the person confronting Shane is the Saintess.
The two of them realized that they had caused trouble for those around them and returned to their seats without saying a word.
Of course, they continued glaring at each other.
After the commotion died down, the end-of-semester ceremony came to an end.
.
.
.
After the ceremony ended, the students all approached their guardians, as well as their exclusive maids and butlers.
Like the other students, I walked towards Lise and the others.
“Lise, what happened that made you fight with that guy?”
Instead of Lise, Ange answered my question.
“He insulted you.”
“Huh? He insulted me?”
What the hell did I do wrong?
Shouldn’t he be grateful to me instead?
Kaine and Eileen are engaged, so it must have been quite troublesome for him. I broke off the engagement without hesitation.
Of course, he probably thinks that Kaine and I are the same.
Anyway, in the end, he got what he wanted.
I felt a bit wronged and asked.
“What did he say to insult me?”
“He said that there are only women around you, that you’re still the same jerk as before, that you haven’t changed, and that you haven’t properly educated your maids.”
“…”
Hmm. Is that true?
To be honest, it’s undeniable that there are only women around me.
It’s also true that I didn’t educate the maids.
That’s because even if I didn’t educate them, they will do well on their own.
But it’s a bit unfair to say that I’m still the same jerk as before.
I don’t know how much of a jerk Kaine was in the first semester, but it’s certain that he’s gotten better than before.
At least his strength has increased exponentially.
When I possessed Kaine, I was almost dying just from running a little, but now, except for students like Kim Soo-yong, there are almost no students in the same grade who can beat me.
By now, I can proudly say that I’m a member of the David family anywhere I go.
However, unlike the other members, I didn’t become stronger through swordsmanship or aura.
‘What’s important is that I’m strong.’
As I nodded in agreement, Shane, unable to let go of what Ange said, strode towards us.
Eileen, feeling guilty, followed him with quick steps.
“David von Kaine.”
Shane glared at me with his sharp eyes.
Looking at his eyes, it wouldn’t be surprising if he tried to kill me soon.
“Yes, Elijah von Shane.”
“How are you educating your maids?”
“Hmm. What do you mean?”
At his question, I tilted my head.
To be honest, I knew what he was talking about, but I pretended not to know.
He probably thought that Ange was my maid.
Seeing my attitude, Shane frowned and said,
“You saw it too. One of your maids caused trouble for me…”
“Oh, are you talking about her?”
Before he finished speaking, I pointed to Ange, who was standing behind me.
Shane looked at Ange and was about to nod his head when,
“Yes, if you have any complaints, please talk to me, Elijah von Shane.”
Ange removed her perception jamming and approached him with a terrifying smile.
Shane looked at her and widened his eyes.
“S, Saintess?”
“Yes, if you have anything to say, please do.”
At her words, Shane couldn’t say anything and kept his mouth shut.
Yeah, you can’t say anything!
A moment ago, he seemed like he was going to argue with me, but now that he realizes that the person who caused trouble for him is none other than the Saintess, the one who serves Fate’s Goddes, he remains silent.
This is why connections are important.
As I rejoiced inside, Ange continued.
“If you have nothing to say, we’ll be on our way. Have a nice day.”
“Yes… Have a nice day, Saintess.”
With those words, we quickly walked away.
As we were about to leave the Academy,
“Kaine!”
Eileen called out to me.
I turned my head back.
“Yes, what is it?”
“I’m sorry for the trouble my father caused.”
“No, it’s fine.”
To be honest, knowing Shane’s personality, I didn’t mind.
In the game, when Eileen’s episode came out, he was quite stubborn and had a bad personality.
He denied Kim Soo-yong, whose origins were unknown, and even though he knew that Soo-yong was skilled, he never acknowledged him.
Now that I think about it, Eileen’s personality resembles her father’s.
I don’t know if she’s still stubborn nowadays, but from what I saw in the game, it’s clear that she takes after her father.
They say that daughters resemble their fathers.
“Well, he might have misunderstood. After all, the only ones who have seen me change are the Academy students. Most people haven’t seen it for themselves.”
“Yes… Then have a good vacation.”
“Yes, you too.”
After that, we left the Academy and headed towards the mansion.
Of course, we also prepared gifts for our acquaintances and family members who weren’t very close.
.
.
.
On the continent of Leiston, there are three duke families.
One of them is the well-known Winton family.
This family is famous for magic, and they became dukes solely based on that.
And the second one.
The Valentina family.
This family is famous among the people for its political influence, social standing, social skills, and talented members.
And finally,
The Ripford family.
Unlike the other two families, they are not well-known to the public.
Of course, most people know about them, but unless someone brings them up, they are not mentioned.
And for a long time, Nox has been working as a butler for this family.
Nox sighed deeply.
“Sigh… Where is the young lady?”
About ten years ago, the young lady of the duke family suddenly disappeared.
Normally, they should have searched for her immediately, but the family didn’t think she was necessary, so they didn’t look for her at the time.
But now that they need her, they immediately put out a request at the adventurer’s guild.
Not only that, but they even asked Nox, the family butler, to do something.
‘They told me not to look for her before!’
Nox, who was the young lady’s exclusive butler, tried to find her at the time, but the family stopped him.
Nox looked at her childhood photo and looked around.
‘I have no idea where she could be.’
It’s hard to predict where she went after disappearing at such a young age, but if there’s any possibility, it’s in the royal capital.
That’s because it’s the easiest place to find a job.
As he thought this and walked,
“Master! Let’s buy some food here!”
“Huh? Why?”
“Yes, it doesn’t seem that bad. Right, Lise?”
“Yes, young master.”
A voice that I heard a lot when I was young could be heard.
Nox turned his head back.
There was a man with a slightly fierce gaze but a handsome face, two women in maid outfits, and a young child.
Nox widened his eyes and looked at the request.
‘I found her!’
