The Clumsy Cold-Blooded Prince, Who Lost His Life Due to His Brother’s Scheming, Became the Wise King After Fighting in His Second Life for the Clumsy Marchioness - Chapter 54

“All right, please.”

“Fufu, you’re finally lending a hand.”

I finally reached out to Princess Roxanne’s hand at the carriage stage.

I didn’t want her to hurt herself by not giving her a hand in the carriage.

“All right, Liz.”

“Yes…”

Liz smiled happily as I took her hand after Princess Roxanne.

It appeared that escorting Princess Roxanne without taking her hand made her feel better.

“And Hannah, too.”

“…Thank you very much.”

Of course, just because Hanna is a good agent doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be respected.

She’s also a valuable chamberlain to me.

I was the last to board the carriage, which was heading to the Royal Academy.

“Ufufu…”

“What’s the matter?”

I asked, looking at Princess Roxanne, who burst out laughing.

Did I do something strange?

“I’m sorry, but The Marquis of Collengel and His Highness Prince Oscar informed me about His Highness Prince Dietrich before I arrived…”

“Ah, I see… Are you possibly disillusioned?”

“No, the opposite is true. They said His Highness Dietrich is so cold that he lacks courtesy and is known as the Cold-Blooded Prince, but I was surprised at his courtesy, let alone his thoughtfulness.”

“Ah, I see…”

It’s not surprising that those two would try to mislead Princess Roxanne about me.

But what were they thinking, embarrassing their country in a diplomatic setting?

“What is particularly surprising is His Highness Dietrich’s attitude, who escorted me without holding my hand.”

“…”

I appear to have offended Princess Roxanne.

However, I have no regrets.

Liz is the only person with whom I will ever hold hands.

“The way Dietrich-sama did not take my hand in consideration of her fiancée, Marguerite-sama… If I had to spend the rest of my life with a gentleman, I would choose a man like you.”

Princess Roxanne smiled as she said these words.

“Marguerite-sama—I suppose His Highness Dietrich is such a wonderful person because you are as well. I can see it in your expression when you look at His Highness Dietrich.”

“Ah … such a wasteful word…”

Fumu… Roxanne, Princess I completely understand what you mean.

Liz is undeniably a woman who is too good for me.

“Ufufu, I was worried about my three years in the Kingdom of Estline before meeting you two, but now I’m looking forward to it. I look forward to working with you.”

“It’s my pleasure to study with someone as intelligent as Your Highness Roxanne.”

“Your Highness Roxanne, I am looking forward to working with you.”

We exchanged smiles.

—○█○—

“Her Highness Princess Roxanne will be living in this school dormitory.”

The headmaster, who was waiting for us at the school’s gate, led us to the dormitory where Princess Roxanne will live.

But now that the Carolin Kingdom’s first princess is studying here, her dormitory no longer looks like a dormitory.

Although I don’t want any special treatment, there is a significant difference between this and my dormitory, which also has royal status.

… And how about Oscar’s?

“Your Highness Dietrich, Margaret-sama, let me introduce you to my lady-in-law, Collete.”

“I’m Collete, second daughter of the Viscount of Silvestre. I look forward to working with you.”

Lady Collete bowed deeply after that.

It looks like she got to the Royal Academy earlier to get ready for Princess Roxanne’s arrival.

“I am Dietrich, the first prince of the Kingdom of Estline. This is my fiancée, Marguerite, and next to her is my chamberlain, Hanna.”

“I am Marguerite, eldest daughter of the Marquise of Friedenreich. I look forward to working with you.”

“Hanna, second daughter of the Baron of Schacht.

Liz and Hanna, too, bowed deeply.

“Ufufu, ever since we were kids, Collete and I have been best friends.” I invited her to come with me when I came to study here.”

“…Her Highness Roxanne is an irreplaceable person to me…”

They both smile as they say this.

Haha… You care about each other in the same way Hannah and I do.

“Well, since Her Highness Roxanne’s classes begin tomorrow, please take it easy today…”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to working with you tomorrow. “

“Thank you.”

So we parted ways with Princess Roxanne and returned to the classroom.

“Elder Brother, what was His Majesty the King’s call?”

Oscar stepped in right away.

“… His Highness Roxanne will start her studies here tomorrow, and I’ve been asked to host her until she finishes.”

“How come Elder Brother is in charge of that?!”

“I’m not sure. If you’re curious, ask His Majesty the King yourself.”

“Damn it!”

Oscar gritted his teeth in frustration as Liz, Hanna, and I took our seats.
