"She is..." said Charles.

  "Do you know who she is, Charles?," I asked.

  "Yes, she is the daughter of Duke San Quentine, Amelia Laterza San Quentine," said Charles.

  "The daughter of Duke San Quentine, huh? So she is the daughter of the Duke from the second year that Charles talked about earlier," I thought.

  Princess Amelia carried a rapier, the same as the one carried by Princess Irene. So far, the sons and daughters of high nobles such as Enzo, Charles, Princess Irene and Princess Amelia used close-range weapons in the form of swords and rapiers. Only Chloe was different because she used a bow, although she could also fight at close range using a dagger.

  "I didn't expect to see Princess Amelia here,"

  "She is very beautiful,"

  "Princess Irene is also beautiful even though she was a little scary during the previous entrance exam," said the students who saw the two of them.

  "I thought there was something going on, it turned out that the commotion was because of the 2 Duke's daughters who were talking," said Noa.

  "But it seems like their conversation is not an ordinary conversation, do you know something Charles?," I asked.

  "No, I don't know what they are talking about," said Charles.

  "Hmmm is that so," I said.

  Back to Princess Irene.

  "Is that all you want to ask, Princess Amelia? If that's all then my answer is that I am healthy. Then, I'll excuse myself to continue ordering food for my lunch," said Princess Irene.

  "Gosh, you are so cold. Even though we should have gotten to know each other for the event," said Princess Amelia.

  ".....," Princess Irene just kept quiet and continued ordering food.

  "It seems like I'm being ignored huh," said Princess Amelia.

  Princess Amelia then walked towards Princess Irene. However, Leandra and Lily stood in front of Princess Amelia to stop her from approaching Princess Irene.

  "Princess Amelia, please don't disturb Miss Irene. Right now, Miss Irene wants to have lunch," said Leandra.

  "An Elf and a Demi-Human huh? You have interesting subordinates, Princess Irene. But I have no business with you two. It's your presence that's actually disturbing. Sherida, Riise, hold them off," Princess Amelia said.

  Suddenly, two female students moved quickly towards Leandra and Lily. In an instant, their movements were locked by the two female students.

  "What the heck? Where did she come from?," Leandra thought.

  "She's so strong, I can't free myself," Lily thought.

  "Now that the two bothers have been taken care of. Let's continue our conversation, Princess Irene," Princess Amelia said.

  "Didn't you just want to ask how I was, Princess Amelia? Since I've answered it, doesn't that mean our conversation is over. And if you want to talk about the event, I won't respond to you. I have no intention of attending it anyway," Princess Irene said.

  "You intend not to attend the event? It seems like the ice princess can joke now. How can you cancel your participation in the event when you yourself don't have a partner right now? And if you look for one now, will anyone want to be your partner? Even though your face is beautiful, but with your cold and scary attitude, I doubt anyone will want to be your partner," said Princess Amelia.

  "I'm not joking, besides I still have 4 years at this academy. I can definitely cancel my participation in the event," said Princess Irene.

  If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

  "Yeah, yeah, it's up to you," said Princess Amelia.

  "Alright, the chat is over, Princess Amelia. Please order your subordinates to release Leandra and Lily. I want to have lunch with them," said Princess Irene.

  "What if I don't want to? What do you want to do?," said Princess Amelia.

  "......," Princess Irene was silent.

  Suddenly a female student with a silver badge came into the tense situation.

  "Can you stop this, Princess Amelia? Your behavior is causing a commotion in this cafeteria," said the student.

  I tried to observe who the student who came was. Then I realized.

  "She's the one from this morning," I thought.

  "Tch, Nadine," said Princess Amelia.

  "Nadine," said Princess Irene.

  "It's lunch time now. You're disturbing other students who are having lunch. So you better stop this," said Nadina.

  "Your cold expression is not suitable for advising others, Nadine. Okay, okay, I'll stop. Sherida, Riise, let them both go," said Princess Amelia.

  Leandra and Lily were released.

  "You're so stiff, Nadine. I was just joking with Princess Irene. Even without you coming, I would have let them both go," said Princess Amelia.

  "I see, but I'm not sure you would have let those two go for free if I hadn't come. As fellow members of 'Elevrad', I hope you won't do this again," Nadine said.

  "Okay, okay," said Princess Amelia.

  "And again, I hope you don't talk about that event because it hasn't been announced to the public. You didn't mention the name of the event clearly, but if you keep talking about it, other students who hear it will be curious," said Nadine.

  "Okay, okay. You're so talkative, in contrast to your cold expression. Let's go Sheride, Riise and the others too. Let's eat outside," said Princess Amelia who slowly left.

  "Ah before that. Princess Irene, if you want to fight me in a daily match, come anytime you want. I'll be happy to accept it. But for today I can't, because today is your first day, I don't want your points to be minus on the first day. See you," said Princess Amelia.

  Princess Amelia and her subordinates left the canteen.

  "Are you two okay?," asked Nadine to Leandra and Lily.

  "Yes, we're fine, Miss Nadine. Thank you for helping to free us," said Leandra.

  "You're welcome," said Nadine.

  "I couldn't even free myself. Even though I'm a Demi-Human who should have a stronger physique," said Lily.

  "Princess Amelia's subordinates are not just any students. They are strong students chosen by Princess Amelia to be her subordinates. You better avoid them if you meet them, Irene too," said Nadine.

  "Okay. Thank you for earlier, Nadine," said Princess Irene.

  "You're welcome, then I'll go first. You guys just continue your lunch," said Nadine.

  Nadine also left the canteen.

  Back to Rid and the others.

  "I didn't expect that the senior I met this morning was an important person. He could even stop Princess Amelia and was close to Princess Irene. But who is he really? I'd better ask Charles," I thought.

  "The senior student from earlier seemed to be close to Princess Irene. Do you know her, Charles?," I asked.

  "Yes, her name is Nadine Emerald. She is Princess Irene's cousin. Her father is a Marquess of Armavir and her father is also the younger brother of Duke San Lucia. She did not get the name San Lucia in her name because she is not the child of the Duke. Only the core family of the Duke consisting of the Duke & Duchess and their children are allowed to use the name of the region ruled by the Duke. Even so, I heard that the San Lucia family does not differentiate between families. Those who are blood relatives of Duke San Lucia are still considered San Lucia family and inherited the 'San Lucia Art' ?technique," said Charles.

  "I see. No wonder she knows Irene and her expression is the same as Princess Irene's, which is equally cold. Do all San Lucia families have that characteristic?," I asked.

  "Hahaha, I don't know," said Charles.

  "But I'm relieved that the previous feud can be resolved peacefully. If the Ice Princess went on a rampage in this cafeteria, I wouldn't be able to eat lunch," said Noa.

  "You're right, Noa. Thank goodness the previous feud can be resolved even without my presence," said Charles.

  "What did you just say, Charles? I didn't hear it," said Noa.

  "It's nothing. Let's continue our lunch," said Charles.

  "You're right. I'm also very hungry," said Noa.

  We hurried back to our table. But as we walked to the table, I was still thinking about the student named Nadine. It seemed like she was also a member of 'Elevrad', but what surprised me more was the weapons she was carrying. She was carrying a long rifle on her back, and a small rifle on her waist. This was the first time I had seen a student using a rifle in this academy.

  -

  After we finished lunch, we chatted at the place where we were eating.

  "Where are you going after this, Rid? Do you want to do a daily match?," Charles asked.

  "I don't know, I want to find my own opponent but I haven't found one yet. Do you guys want to be my opponent?," I asked.

  "I don't think so, I don't want to lose on the first day," Charles said.

  "I don't want to either," said Noa, Chloe and Enzo.

  "Why do you guys think that you will definitely lose against me? Okay then let's just go to the library to look around," I said.

  "Okay," they all said.

  When we got up from our seats, a student approached us.

  "Excuse me, Mr. Rid, have you finished your lunch?," said the student.

  "Hmm, I have, but why did you call me Mr.? We are fellow students and by the way, you are in the same class as us too, right?," I asked after knowing who the student was.

  "You're right, my name is Masahiko Kotaro. Allow me to have a match with you, Mr. Rid," the student said.

  "Can you stop calling me "Mr."? But a daily match, right? What a coincidence, I'm also looking for an opponent to compete with," I said.
