The Brain of a Duke Princess

Talk Idle: An ominous chat between the Second Prince and his Acquaintances

My name is Berne. Berne Tash Armelia's. I am the heir to the rank of duke of Armelia, son of the Prime Minister, Louis Dan Armelia.

"Good morning Edward-sama. Yuri-san. ”

"G . ”

"Good morning, Berne. ”

I called out to the two people who were walking in front. Ed-sama has a dark red hair color, just like Ellia-sama, the second Queen, and a pair of typical jet-black eyes. With her eyes turned upside down, it tends to give others the impression that she is loud.

But when she was with Yuri-sama, the corner of her eyes would drop slightly, making her overall facial expression look more friendly. When Ed-sama was still engaged to my older sister, Iris, I had never seen her have this kind of expression. I think it's because he found him really valuable that he couldn't help but show that expression.

As for the person next to her, Yuri-sama, she has braided brown hairy hair. This is a type of hairstyle that is rarely seen and looks very impressive. She also had beautiful big green eyes, and with a constantly changing expression, she looked beautiful overall. He is someone who always stays positive, at least I think so.

"Hey, Berne. You don't stay up anymore to learn, do you? ”

"Yes, okay …"

"Geez, Berne overreacting again ~?"

“No, I'm not working hard myself. That's because I want to learn a little bit, I'm fine. ”

When I saw Yuri-sama anxious expression, my chest started to feel very warm. The only thing I am so good at .. to receive the attention of Yuri-sama .. as I thought, it is just learning.

'Berne-sama, you are so amazing ~' If I am not mistaken, it is the first thing he said when he called me. At the time, I had absolutely no interest in him, and I was sure I even treated him coldly. Or rather, I don't know what's amazing about it.

For me to get first place, I think it's 'natural, ' and I don't even consider it snatched. However, for him, always being in the first place was amazing because he was bad at learning, and he came up to me and asked me to teach him many times.

Because I felt comfortable being around him, the moment I realized it, I was teaching him all the time. While teaching her, and seeing her improve little by little due to my instruction, somehow brought a warm feeling to my heart.

'Berne-sama, please see this ~ Thanks to Berne-sama, my grades rose very much ~' At first, the value was only so-so, and after increasing so much, it has increased so much, he happily showed me his report card.

When I saw him, I felt very happy to help. … Before I knew it, I felt comfortable hearing his high voice as if it was healing me.

… Although I have been approached many times, I have never felt this way before. In the end, it doesn't work, and he is taken in by Ed-sama. Even so, as long as he was happy, it was fine .. I just wanted to stay by his side .. That's what I thought.

Anyway, because of that time, before I realized it .. I was sure that I was amazing. I haven't dropped from first position, and I can usually remember a lot of things after hearing it once. That's why I think so.

However, my way of thinking was destroyed a few days ago. And the one who destroyed it was my older sister, Iris.

When he was in the academy, he was not a very intelligent student. However, when I returned to the fief area recently .. I saw my older sister become the director of the conglomerate, and set the region as the representative of the fiefdom of the fiefdom.

Because of this, I saw him struggling with documents stacked as high as mountains, having conversations on topics I did not understand, giving consultations, and once again colliding with documents. After he warned me, he went back to work .. So busy with the work that saw him made me dizzy.

When I saw his performance, to be honest .. I received a surprise. I thought that I myself was someone extraordinary ... But what exactly does that mean? The only source of knowledge is experience.

Compared to him .. I'm just a kid with a functioning head. No. .. It's probably not just him, there might be more people. But that's not the only thing I see.

And because of that, I recently went to my father and begged to accept his teachings. I can't go this way, that's what I think. Most importantly, I feel ashamed.

Under my father's strict supervision, I was forced to overcome many challenges. As a result, I had to stay up all night to handle it.

When I looked towards the entrance of the academy, I saw Dorsen there. As usual, he stood out with short hair and a muscular body.

"…Good morning . ”

"Oh, Dorsen. Good morning . ”

"Good morning, Dorsen. Even though you look very tired ... Are you okay? ”

"Yes. That's because I had a lot of training yesterday. But I'm fine. ”

Although he was usually quiet and flat, but if one had to look closely, he did seem very tired. That said, he didn't really look any different compared to the normal ones.

"Well ... Just don't work too much, okay?"

"Thank you very much . ”

"Thank you very much . ”

If I'm not mistaken, Dorsen has been strangely participating in Knight training lately. Dorsen's father Druna-sama said that it would be an opportunity for her to "forge and temper her character" and be forced to participate.

… It was probably because the mother was not present at the tea party held by the Dorsen house, Katabelias .. and they were placed in the official event .. That was probably the reason why Druna-sama dragged Dorsen there. In other words, simply put, it was the mother's vengeance.

… About this situation, I only found out the story in this after I went to look for father. Because of this, I remember what my older sister said at that time, “think about the consequences of your actions. ”

When we arrived at the classroom, everyone looked at us and gave their greetings. … Well, since she is now officially engaged to the Second Prince .. I guess it is only natural that they welcome her.

As we sat in our seats, the bells coincidentally began to ring, and the door opened once again.

"… Good morning ~"

"Oh, good morning. Van car . ”

The one who arrived on time was Van Lutasha. He is the son of the Pope of Religion Darryl. The Pope's goal of the Darryl religion and the religion itself was to help generations of nobility. Therefore, although Van was not a noble, he enrolled in a noble school.

"Van, you're slow as usual ~ You're almost on time ~"

“Thank you very much ~ Or rather, even though Van praises me, I don't feel praised. ”

Van has shoulder-length blonde hair. Her hair is really shiny and is rarely found even among women. Long and narrow eyes, and androgynous features.

“It's not true at all. Really look pretty. ”

“Te-thank you very much ~ I'm sure it's definitely thanks to Azura Conglomerate beauty products. ”

“Ah, that place, yes. ”

"Yes ~ Now that you mention it, I have finally become a member of ~"

"For a mere conglomerate to really make my fiance wait …"

"For a mere conglomerate to really make my fiance wait …"

Ed-sama said bitterly while clicking his tongue.

"Ed-sama, you can't say something like that ~ That's because someone else has to wait a while, so it's natural for me to wait as well. ”

“Yuri is very soft. ”

However, after being persuaded by Yuri-sama, her expression changed.

… Or rather, for Yuri-sama to be a member .. I can't say I wasn't surprised. Something like that actually happened. I wouldn't be surprised if both of them failed to become members.

However, "that" elder sister, in order to prevent a dispute between the royal family and the conglomerate, she might suppress her emotions and do her best for the conglomerate … Surely employees who adore older sisters will feel like they have to swallow something bitter.

“The conglomerate is very popular ~ I'm still waiting for mine. ”

“That's right ~ I'm sure their president is an amazing person. I respect that guy. I really want to meet that person once ~ ”

“Since Yuri wants to meet that person, let's invite them to the Royal Palace once. I am sure that the other party will be very happy and honored. ”

"That's a very good idea ~"

… I think he really won't come. In the first place, the people from Armelia's fief were furious with the Second Prince. Because when I went there, not just the mother, but once I got separated from the older sister, the other employees completely ignored me as if I was a thorn in their sight. Even if it's not an older sister, but someone else is the president .. For example Sei or Sebastian, I'm sure they won't leave either.

"… Speaking of the Royal Palace, how is the talk about the previous problem ~?"

“Ah, about the church common kitchen. Of course, I got approval. Hey, Van. ”

"Yes nih . Darryl Church should also be happy to help. ”

“I'm so happy it turns out like that ~ I'm sure everyone will be happy. ”

"Yes. Of course, since it was Yuri who was going to do it, everyone would be happy. ”

… Yuri-sama is a gentle person. He makes a proposal for Ed-sama to open a common kitchen for people, and Ed-sama also aggressively moves.

And yet. … To do it often, they may already be calculating how much budget is needed.

… Yuri-sama is a gentle person. He makes a proposal for Ed-sama to open a common kitchen for people, and Ed-sama also aggressively moves.

It's just a natural thing to do. The Royal Family was living the same as before .. Or rather, their expenditure had increased. This was because Ellia-sama spent a lot on herself, and Ed-sama had spent quite a bit on Yuri-sama's gifts. However, tax revenue has not changed.

'If you want to live for people, the first thing you have to do is re-examine your own life .. For example, that in the engagement, instead of being happy with Ed-sama's gift, it's the first thing you have to do, he can donate it to people. However, the girl continued to squeeze out gifts, which were indecent in nature. "Dad said furiously.

To request a reward, it is still good if only once or twice, but it has happened repeatedly to the point where the Treasury is being squeezed.

Although the father and other ministers were against the idea from the start, it was still done by force by the others, and costs began to pile up.

In addition, a soup kitchen was being conducted in the Royal City. … In reality, not many people need help. Dad complained that they were just trying to gain popularity.

If labor costs are reduced, it means that people's income will also be reduced. As a result, even people who should be somewhere in the middle class will also become poor.

Up until now, I had always thought that Yuri-sama was a gentle person .. But I might not see anything at all.

“... At present, often doing so will burden the National Treasury Department. This time, don't you think it's better to reconsider? ”

"Why would Berne say something like that? Isn't that the top priority to help people's lives? Everyone is happy, isn't that a good thing … "

“Although it's a good thing, it won't be good if it's too often. Yuri-sama, please don't say too many unreasonable things to Ed-sama … "

“Ed-sama is the Prince of this Kingdom. Can't the Prince do whatever he likes? If the Kingdom doesn't have enough budget, it's okay to take it out of tax ~ Ah, and also, how about disbanding the military? Un, that's a good idea ~ Because this Kingdom is really peaceful, the military doesn't need ~ Right, Ed-sama? ”

Yuri-sama has a bright smile on her face as if she has thought of a clever idea. However, I was unable to hide my shock because of his words.

I think he looks like a kid. Inhuman child .. innocent. If one thought about it a little, judging from the aspects of national defense, and the viewpoints of peace and order, it was something that could not be said. Most importantly, what will happen to the people who will lose their jobs. … The future will go directly to the soup kitchen.

“Ah, Yuri is very smart. … Berne. You are stubborn. You sound like a follower from somewhere. ”

“... I'm sorry for the harsh words I said. ”

Ed-sama glared at me, and I shut my mouth. … Ah, father may once again be bursting into rage. No, he's already angry. And since I can't stop him, he might get mad at me.
