Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Problems in the City

Kingdom of el Vierum, 3 Months Before Alice vi Alverio Disappears

"When are we gonna get to the capital?" Aristia shook off the silence at the dining table occupied by the scholarly girls. They were resting at a restaurant managed by the Saville Trade Union. Aside from that guild, Alice did not accept the others.

Florence, who was enjoying her tea, turned her head and replied, "About two days. There is one more village we will visit. Don't forget, finish your report immediately upon arrival at the palace."

"OK," replied Mainne who just happened to be chewing her food. It was a high-quality veal that was roasted perfectly. There are special techniques for making them. The slaughter process also requires a certain way, can not be original slaughtered. The slaughtered animal must speak the name of the Most Exalted God.

"We've been out of the academy for almost a month now," Akilla suddenly recalled their study when Florence alluded to the report's assignment to be submitted later, "How are we going to catch up?"

"Just calm! You'll still get added grades despite not taking the exam in this semester," Anna blew a breath of fresh air, "Again, more things you learn by going straight down to the field, right?"

Basically, the scholarly girls are the chosen girls who are scouted or led directly by a princess. In this generation, they play as friends learning Alice. They were chosen to accompany the talented princess.

They got a kind of scholarship and special education at the Pearl Palace. There are various excellent programs there. The results of those programs were recognized by the academy, even King el Vierum.

The first three generations led and built by Princess Elianna as well as Duchess Evianna can always be an important figure in their respective fields. With the twin daughters' recommendation, administrative and bureaucratic affairs could be completed easily. However, they should be able to actually implement their knowledge once recommended.

Alice who has received the Honoris Causa also has the right to give her friends recommendations. The academy will respect her decision even if she is a ten-year-old girl. It was a miracle in his day.

Although acknowledged by King el Vierum though, it does not mean everyone will accept it. There must always be people who are jealous of others. They might doubt the abilities of the intellectual girls to the point of seeing it with their own eyes.

"We've had enough rest, let's go, '" Anna invited the scholarly girls to rush back to the horse carriage. They got up, while Florence was busy handling the payment at the cashier.

Alice walked gracefully as was her custom. His eyes were straight ahead and slightly lowered. His face looks calm. He walked parallel to Aria who was both introverted.

"Bas a lowly man! Get out of my way!" a haughty shout attracted the attention of Alice and her comrades. On the big street, there was a well-dressed man who was angry at an old merchant. The old merchant fell on the ground with his merchandise scattered. Vegetables and fruits were crushed and scattered everywhere.

"Why would an old man like you go to an elite area? This place is only for nobles," snapped the person whose age was still fairly young. Behind him, his followers were silent. Even the passers-by would not interfere.

Alice clenched her hand. He was eager to rebuke the arrogant nobleman who appeared right before his eyes. Before his feet moved even a step there, a young man was already ahead of him.

"Relax, my friend," the young man made a peaceful approach. The nobleman he reprimanded immediately glared sharply at him. The well-dressed man observed his new opponent from top to bottom carefully.

The young man was wearing an emblematic alma mater suit of the Royal Academy. His shirt and pants are good. Body firm. Handsome face. Her hair is brownish. His eyes were dark as the deep sea.

Alice recognized the young man with such an annoying face. He met her a few times. The young man always had a carefree expression that was a little similar to Aristia, but there was a mischievous impression of him there.

"Who are you?" the arrogant noble finally asked.

"Me?" the young man gave an irritating smile, "I am Solid van Denburg, aide to Crown Prince el Vierum. Nice to meet you, Young Baron Puliu."

Baron named Puliu was wide-eyed. He could hardly believe that Solid had not shown his famous family emblem. He instantly corrected his attitude so as not to offend the young master.

"Solid Senior? Is there any business in this town?" Aristia asked the same thing. He had been a fan of the young knight in the academy before, but now it was not because he had a lot of busyness in the Pearl Palace.

Alice had not seen the drama of the heroes played by her fiancee. He was more interested in Anna's conversation with a Saville Trade Union staffer.

"What's wrong?" ask Alice in curiosity. He also saw the old man who had been scolded by Puliu in front of the Saville Trade Union restaurant. The old man sat down with a bent face, while a resto employee comforted him.

"The old man was a merchant who cooperated with the Saville Trade Union. He brought supplies for the resto in this city" Anna explained as she shook her head. It was very troublesome when dealing with the local nobles. So, the Saville Trade Union staff asked him for help.

"The lowly man used to harass me," Puliu still raised his voice even now with more formal language, "How can I accept this kind of humiliation?"

"Don't you hit him first?" Solid impliedly refuted.

Alice looked at Puliu resentfully, then asked the staff of the Saville Trade Union, "Does that person really like to make things?"

"Yes, he has been doing it a lot lately, Her Highness the Princess," the staff replied, "I heard from some customers, the Puliu Family business has been in a slump in recent months. Since then, many of the merchants we worked with got into trouble."

"Didn't you report it to the authorities?" ask Alice later. Look at his sharp eyes. His behavior is always awake. Her impression as the Winter Princess burst forth instantly. The staff was nervous. Anna laughed at him.

"We've reported it, but the legal process never goes," explained the middle-aged woman's staff, "The town's knights never moved. Although the Puliu Family suffered losses, but they were still a rich family."

"Did Madam Mary not know this?" the next time Alice asked Anna, "It's a union issue that goes into her business, isn't it."

"He told me this" said Anna honestly, "The investigation is underway now."

"Why not report it to me?"

"Eh? I also just heard it this morning," Anna hurriedly explained before Alice increasingly misunderstood, "Madam Maria told me about it after knowing we got to this town."

"Where's that old jackass? He must take responsibility," Puliu crazily searched for his victim. He wanted to find a pretext to show Solid. After finding the man sitting in front of the Saville Trade Union restaurant, he accused and snapped, "Old man! Come Here!"

Everyone is surprised. The knights escorting Alice's journey growled. So do the intellectual girls. Puliu's tudingan was seen pointing to their princess.

"So, your manners!" snapped Rosemary. He was the first to react. The impact surprised many more. Moreover, Solid who just realized the existence of the intellectual girls. "His Highness Crown Princess el Vierum is before you."

"A ...!?" Puliu was speechless. Rosemary's fierce-sounding clash lowered her mental instantly. His body shakes because of it.

"Damn! I don't know. So, therefore my father forbade me to deal with them today" Puliu said in his heart. He also just realized the existence of foreign knights around him. Those knights exuded an aura that pressed down on him.

"Baron Muda Puliu, we will not stay silent on this matter," Alice took the opportunity to show her authority. Actually, he had already planned to go to the Regional Supervisory Hall in this city to investigate cases that might be related to the Puliu Family and the city lord. However, the lowly noble had already pulled him to act faster.
