"What's the condition at the Central Supervisory Hall, Princess?" Aristia asked on the way to the OSIS office. Today, they exist in a common environment. So, they have to look at ethics.
"Today's trial is over, tomorrow it will be resumed with His Majesty King el Vierum" Alice replied. He simply explained the condition at the trial to his two friends. He also briefly offended Mainne's sister. "She seems to be used to speaking in public."
"Well, big brother is a young instructor who is easily familiar with others" Mainne explained calmly. In his heart, he held great pride in his brother. "He also often socialized with strangers around the harbor."
"Does your brother work nearby?" Aristia just found out. Although he was the closest to the ordinary girl in the Pearl Palace, but he still did not know much about her.
"Mn, brother has always worked around the harbor since childhood. His quick understanding of foreign languages attracted the instructor there," Mainne unconsciously began to tell stories. His talented older brother had many acquaintances among the merchants. Among them there are even those who are happy to provide valuable books that are of course very expensive in the Western continent.
"So that's why you're so excited about making paper?" Aristia frowned. The OSIS room was already in front of them. Mainne nodded. He learned the technique of papermaking from a book that originated in the Eastern continent. "I also want to write a lot of books. Therefore, I need a lot of paper."
"You have come," Akilla appeared from behind the door as Aristia was about to knock on her, "Welcome, Princess. Let's go in."
The OSIS office is very large. There are soft sofas not far from the door. The windows are large so that sunlight can easily enter. Some beautifully ornate wooden tables are arranged in such a way. A large closet is located near one of them. As she entered, Alice saw Rosemary tidying up a flower arrangement.
"You can rest first" Rosemary gave her warm smile and invited Alice and her friends to sit on the sofa. "I'm sorry for not being able to greet you immediately, Princess."
"That's fine, Miss Mary," Alice smiled, "I'm sorry for interrupting your work."
"You don't have to apologize that way" Rosemary took out some pastries stored in the cupboard and served them on the table. Shortly after, Akilla came up with the tea utensils.
"Safety of the Lord Crown Princess el Vierum" said a blonde-haired young man who suddenly arrived without showing his presence. Aristia spilled her tea in surprise. He immediately glared at the white-clothed young man who was smiling with that sinless face.
"Senior Swan, can you eliminate the habit of appearing suddenly like that?" aristia's protest was upset. The protested Swan looked unconcerned. What wrong? I'm just saying hello to the princess? That's what the uncaring face meant with a smile.
Alice only glanced at him briefly and answered his greetings. He then refocused on the cup in his hand. He came to this academy just to unwind. So he doesn't want to deal with anything political.
The young man named Swan is the current chairman of OSIS. He defeated Rosemary in last year's election. Well, precisely because of that, Rosemary dared to pose as a scholar girl.
Swan seemed to want to talk about something. However, seeing Alice's indifference made her give up before trying. Not many girls could ignore him like that. He was a handsome young man. More than Antonio.
It seemed like he was in shock from feeling unconcerned. Moreover, Aristia's long scolding did not give her the slightest space to chat with Alice.
"Eh, really?" Swan asked in a tone that there was a bit of disappointment there. He completely failed to talk to Crown Princess el Vierum. This is a rare opportunity.
"The rest is your duty. Finish it!" Rosemary pointed at the exit room earlier. Swan listlessly went in there. Maybe next time he can stay a little longer. Figures are not popular.
"So, what is the current status of Marianna City?" Rosemary sat on the couch and joined her friends. Some of the girls from OSIS who are also interested in joining. Actually, the young people were curious as well. However, since the only girls gathered together, they decided to leave.
"The government has sent a letter to the ruler of the city" Alice answered. Only information that is publicly known. The Supervisory Hall reshuffle plan must not be leaked. "Right now, we're waiting for a reply. Whether he denies it or admits it, he cannot be allowed to ignore his people."
"You know? I heard that the city lord was conspiring with pirates in the south sea, "an OSIS girl whose family is both a noble and a big merchant came to speak. Alice and Anna glanced at him. The news has also reached them.
Not only that, the reality is that the ruler of the city has been gone for a long time. For several months, he was only used as a puppet by his enemies to hide from the royal watch. Once they had enough power and managed to instigate the amtenars in the Supervisory Hall and other government agencies in the city, they acted. The power in the city has changed hands now.
"Marianna is an important city. It is one of three city towns that connect the Kingdom of el Vierum with the outer continents" Rosemary said with a worried face. He held his cup in his hand. His eyes looked deep through the horizon of the future that might happen, "It would be terrible if the city was overrun by bad people."
"Will there be a war?" the question of another OSIS girl caught everyone's attention. He looked nervous and was afraid to say the wrong thing.
"There's a possibility" Rosemary had just sipped her tea, "Therefore we must be careful."
Alice clenched her hand. Had he possessed as much power as the owner of the first Pearl Palace, the Princess Srikandi who was able to move an army, he would have moved by now. It's still very weak. Very-very weak.
Anna stroked Alice's back as she looked at her face that was being pressured by various burdens. Rosemary and her friends were still talking about Marianna City, but Alice had not heard of it anymore. He dissolves with his own mind.
"You don't have to feel sorry for that" said Anna Lirih. He got caught up in the conversation of these teenage girls. No matter when, the topic changed. One girl suddenly asked Anna, "Madam, is there someone you like?"
"Eh, me?" Anna made sure she was the one who was appointed. The compact girls nodded. Anna was nervous about it. Alice even showed interest. In the Kingdom of el Vierum, Anna's current age was already too old for a girl.
"Ah... that..," Anna hesitantly replied, "There, but she lives in a very far away place."
"Well, what's your childhood friend?" Aristia asked in spirit. This was the first time Anna had ever had a conversation like this. Anna smiled. There was no hue on his face. He replied that he did not have much time to think about such a thing.
In the Office of the Chairman of the OSIS, Swan was unable to concentrate at all. He squeezed out his blonde hair and put his head on the table. A pile of paper and parchment scattered around it. Whereas just now Rosemary and Aria painstakingly tidied it up.
