“Geez, even just entering the dormitory turned into an uproar like this…..! And they said the students here are devout and quiet, what a joke! Are they not more like a bunch of mother-in-laws gossiping together!?”
The boy, who had a short build and a quirk of brandis.h.i.+ng his blonde hair, finally couldn’t endure it anymore and let out a cry after concluding that he was alone with Leonora. His gla.s.sy cheeks turned red.
“The male students were standing still like idiots with their mouth opened – well, it is not like I cannot understand why – but what was it with the female students? Saying those unrefined insinuations with their fox-like, ill-natured faces! Who on earth do they think Leonora-sama is!?”
“Kai, be quiet.”
As the girl warned him with her sweet voice, the boy called Kai abruptly came to his senses.
“Please pardon my rudeness.”
He awkwardly glanced at his mistress, it seemed that she was unperturbed. Her face was lifted dignifiedly, as if she was advancing towards something far away. Looking at her figure that was childish yet br.i.m.m.i.n.g with elegance, Kai naturally felt ashamed at his lack of virtue.
(So on top of being kind, Leonora-sama is also strict with herself. Even those malicious gossips were unable to sway her self-control)
She is indeed very different from himself who was instantly get enraged. In fact, she even splendidly took control of the situation just by smiling quietly. Kai attentively watched the beautiful girl who had gained his respect, his mistress from only yesterday, with a look of adoration from the rear.
Leonora Von Halkenberg.
The girl of tragedy who, despite having an exceedingly precious blood even within the whole empire, had lived in the slum for twelve years, and was finally discovered only yesterday.
While it was only one short day ever since they met, Kai was already convinced that she was not merely her G.o.dsend beauty, but was also blessed with a magnificent disposition as a mistress. When he thought about the unfortunate circ.u.mstances she was in up until now, Kai once again swore in his heart.
(From today onwards, I will dedicate this life to grant Leonora-sama all the happiness in the world)
As for the girl who was walking on the front, she didn’t realize Kai’s burning sentiment and keep walking in a solemn manner.
Kai stared at that dignified figure who held her head high, dazzled.
(Albeit she was even younger than me, Leonora-sama is advancing straightforwardly and doesn’t get caught by trifles. I wonder what is she thinking right now…..)
Thinking up to that point, Kai shook his head immediately.
It wasn’t his place to speculate about the thoughts of his exalted mistress. And prying is not an attendant’s job to begin with.
Moreover, even if he accidentally learn the thoughts of this wise girl, it’s not like his ignorant self can actually understand it, or so he believed.
Now then, as for the girl engulfed by the gaze of this innocent attendant…..
(One, two….. Walk as if to drop the horse dung stuck on the shoe sole….. Right, left…..)
Since some time ago, she was suffering from trying to walk in a way that matched her peerless dress.
(As if shaking off an obstinate s.h.i.+t, raise the tiptoe….. mn!)
Seen from the aside, her small leg that was gently lifted was cutting through the hem in a highly elegant fas.h.i.+on.
Right, this girl was barely coping with her d.a.m.ned annoying dress which made her legs p.r.o.ne to twine themselves and stumbled her over solely by mental visualization. Describing it poorly, it was like she was tottering.
On the other hand,
(Oh, a small copper coin at 10 o’clock, FOUND! Let’s collect it later together with the earrings that fell on the hallway)
Since she was someone who completely devoted herself to hunt small change as well as precious metals, her falcon eyes looked to be s.h.i.+ning even from afar. As expected from the foremost academy in the empire which gathered the children of n.o.bles, even the lost property are wonderful, causing her heart to feel exhilarated. Just like some time ago, when she discovered a jewelled earrings around the feet of a blonde haired girl and involuntarily leaked out a broad smile.
Merely, albeit pickpocketing was her lifework ever since she could remember, to the point that it would be no exaggeration to say that her skill had reach the apex, seizing her prey while handling a dress she wasn’t accustomed to was nonetheless unfeasible. Peerless indeed, in occupying someone.
(Once I get to the room, I’ll have to quickly change clothes and retrieve all those treasures I found, huh. Good grief, although this girl’s clothing has a lot of decorations, how could it doesn’t have a single pocket?)
The moment this girl who talked to herself in her mind with the tone of a boy almost smacked her lips, her shoulders quivered with a start.
(Aaah, s.h.i.+t! So annoying! Just smacking lips should be allowed, right? That Leona, when I get back to the town, she’ll pay for this!)
This girl with sorrowful look who was magnificently badmouthing a certain girl, until the day before yesterday, was a boy called [ Leo ] who lived in the slum.
Right.
The suffering of Leonora Von Halkenberg – Leo, who in the future would be praised as the [ Altruistic Saintess ] by the empire, had only begun two days ago.
