“You’re so noisy! If I say it’s fine, then it’s fine!
“What is it! I’m telling you I’m willing to marry, and you’re acting like this!”
I’ve had enough! I hate Eddie-sama!
Ahrens territory will be independent!!”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Ahhh. Too late. . .”
ㅤ
I wanted to stop it before it came to this, but it was too late.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Because Miss Anna declared loudly, it seems the other students heard as well.
There are those peeking out from the classroom window.
I can see the headmaster coming toward us, looking flustered.
ㅤ
It can’t be undone now.
Having spoken in front of so many people.
If we deny it just because we wish to, it would become a significant problem.
ㅤ
No choice. Now I must accept the declaration of independence.
ㅤ
“. . .Sofia・Eugenis.
As the crown princess of Eugenis, I have heard you.
From now on, Ahrens will be treated as an independent country.”
ㅤ
“””””Yes!”””””
ㅤ
Everything around me nods in acknowledgment.
Anna, seeing this, is stunned.
. . .Will the day come when she understands what a grave thing she’s done?
ㅤ
“Urgh! What’s the meaning of this! I don’t care anymore!”
ㅤ
Feeling somehow it’s not good to be here,
Anna runs off somewhere in a hurry.
The headmaster arrives as she passes.
His face is clearly pale, perhaps having heard the earlier words.
ㅤ
“Sofia-sama! What was that all about?!”
ㅤ
“. . .Anna・Ahrens declared independence, so I accepted it.”
ㅤ
“. . .Is that official?”
ㅤ
“It is official.
Unfortunately, the conditions have been met.
Having been declared in such a public place,
We cannot deny it simply because we wish to.”
ㅤ
I explain to the headmaster, holding back a sigh.
Now that it’s come to this, we must proceed calmly.
The headmaster seems to have made the same judgment, changing the subject.
ㅤ
“Anna・Ahrens will be expelled.
Since she is no longer a noble lady of Eugenis,
She will need permission from the king and study abroad procedures to stay at the school.
Is that acceptable?”
ㅤ
“Yes, that’s fine.
I will report to His Majesty.”
ㅤ
“Understood.”
ㅤ
The headmaster runs off in a hurry, probably to process the paperwork.
I call the royal guards and issue different instructions.
ㅤ
“Send Anna・Ahrens to Ahrens country.
Pack all her belongings from the dormitory, and depart today.”
ㅤ
“””Yes!”””
ㅤ
“A female knight must accompany her on the carriage to Ahrens.
Make sure she’s delivered safely.”
ㅤ
“””Yes!”””
ㅤ
The royal guards rush off.
After issuing the orders, I sigh deeply.
ㅤ
Turning around, I see Eddie with a tearful face.
ㅤ
“. . .I’m, I’m sorry. I couldn’t refuse her properly.”
ㅤ
Sigh, it’s not Eddie’s fault.
In that condition, anything said to Anna would have been in vain.
And the fact that Anna declared independence…
ㅤ
“It’s not your fault, Eddie.
Chris, Kyle, you deliberately provoked her, didn’t you?
You intended to make her declare independence?”
ㅤ
“Ah, you caught us.”
ㅤ
“I only spoke the truth.”
ㅤ
“Really! You should have told me earlier! I wasn’t prepared!”
ㅤ
With Chris grinning and Kyle looking indifferent,
I realized something was off since Chris, who would usually intervene, said nothing.
Chris could have surely withdrawn before getting into that state.
Seeing Chris holding back laughter, I understood what was happening.
ㅤ
These people planned this behind my back.
Douglas and Ruri must have known too, as they averted their eyes.
Arno also looks uncomfortable.
It seems only Eddie and I were unaware.
ㅤ
Ah, Diana appears uninvolved, looking surprised.
ㅤ
“Eh? What does that mean? Oh, did you make her say that on purpose?”
