Peace Hunter

While Irene and I were chatting, Miss Karina suddenly called out to me from the entrance of the academy lobby.

"Rid!" Miss Karina said in a loud voice.

Hearing that, I immediately turned to Miss Karina. Miss Karina gestured to her with her right hand.

"It seems Miss Karina wants me to approach her, so I'll go to Miss Karina first, ok, Irene?" I said.

"Yes," Irene said.

I hurried over to Miss Karina.

"Sorry to interrupt you while you're flirting, Rid," Miss Karina said.

"I'm not flirting, Miss. Why did you call me?" I asked.

"Here, a new uniform and a new sword for you," Miss Karina said.

Miss Karina then handed me a neatly packed uniform and a sword. I accepted the new uniform and sword.

"Thank you, Miss Karina," I said.

"You're welcome. Then I'm going back to my place. I'm feeling tired after experiencing something unexpected. You can continue being affectionate with Irene," said Miss Karina.

"I told you, I'm not being affectionate, Miss," I said.

"Ahahah, well, goodbye, Rid," said Miss Karina.

"Yes, goodbye too, Miss," I said.

Then Miss Karina left the academy lobby to return to her accommodation in the academy's staff and faculty accommodation building. Afterward, I went back to see Irene. Irene seemed curious about something Miss Karina had given me.

"What is it, Rid?" Irene asked.

"This is my new uniform and sword. My previous sword was confiscated when I was detained in prison, and the uniform I'm wearing now has some small tears. I told Miss Karina that this uniform could still be repaired, but Miss Karina said she wanted to give me a new one. So, I'll accept it," I said.

"I see. By the way, Rid, do you want to go straight back to your dorm after this?" Irene asked.

"I think so. Although it looks like it's still around 6 or 7 PM judging by the sky right now, I'd like to go straight to my dorm to rest. I have to get ready for the academy again the next day. Besides, I'm absent from the academy today due to a trial I have to attend," I said.

"I see. Do you mind if I stop by your dorm first? You haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll make you dinner first before you go to rest. But if you don't want to, that's fine, I won't force you," Irene said.

"Of course I want to, after all, I haven't eaten your cooking in a day, Irene. Since I often ate your cooking while at this academy, I've come to love your cooking. Everything you make is delicious. Seeing how skilled you are at cooking, I couldn't believe you were the daughter of a duke," I said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Rid," Irene said.

Then Irene turned around. Her back was to me. I don't know why Irene turned around; perhaps there was someone she wanted to see. There were indeed many people behind Irene earlier, but they weren't people I recognized.

"By the way, Irene, did you see where Charles, Chloe, and the others went?" I asked.

Irene, who had previously had her back to me, turned back to me.

"Hmm, I don't know. We separated a while ago while listening to Miss Karina's explanation. But I'm sure they weren't far from us, but for some reason I didn't see them around," Irene said, looking around.

"I don't see them either," I said.

I looked around for them, but I couldn't find them.

"Maybe they've returned to the dorm or gone somewhere. They were around us, but we didn't see them leave because we were arguing about our agreement, Rid," Irene said.

"I thought so too. It looks like they've returned to the dorm, so let's go back too," I said.

"Yes," Irene said.

Irene and I left the academy lobby and headed for the dorm. But as Irene and I were walking, someone suddenly called out to me.

"Rid!" the person said.

The voice sounded like a man's. I immediately stopped and turned toward the source of the voice. When I turned, I saw Senior Darryl, Senior Klara, and Senior Nichelle walking toward me.

"Senior Darryl, did you just call me?" I asked.

"Yes, I called you just now," said Senior Darryl.

It turned out to be Senior Darryl who called me.

"What's wrong, Senior? Even Senior is with Senior Klara and Senior Nichelle," I said.

"There's something I, Klara, and Nichelle need to tell you, Rid," said Senior Darryl.

"Something we need to say? What is it?" I asked.

"The three of us want to apologize to you for what Florian did to you, Rid," said Senior Darryl, bowing.

Not only Senior Darryl, but Senior Klara and Senior Nichelle also bowed. I was surprised to see this, while Irene remained silent.

"I never imagined that Florian would order Enzo to kill you. I also never imagined that Florian was involved in the plot to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family. Therefore, the three of us, as friends of Florian, would like to apologize to you, Rid. We apologize for what Florian did to you. We also apologize to you, Irene, for Florian's involvement in the plot to assassinate your family," said Senior Darryl.

Senior Darryl, senior Klara, and senior Nichelle were still bowing toward the two of us.

"You don't need to bow like that, senior. You don't need to apologize to me either. You didn't do anything wrong. Now, please don't bow anymore, senior," I said.

Senior Darryl, senior Klara, and senior Nichelle stood up straight again.

"You don't need to apologize, senior. You're not at fault, after all. The one to blame is Senior Florian, who wanted to kill me. Even though you're his friends, you don't need to apologize on Senior Florian's behalf. Let Senior Florian apologize himself when he gets the chance," I said.

"That's right, you don't need to apologize," Irene said.

"But Rid, as Florian's friends, we feel bad about what he did to you. We're afraid that if we don't apologize, our relationship will be awkward going forward," said Senior Darryl.

"You don't have to feel that way, senior. Anyway, you don't need to apologize, senior. Even though you're senior Florian's friends who did something bad to me, I won't feel awkward towards you in the future. Besides, even though you're senior Florian's friends, you weren't involved in the plan at all," I said.

"Ok, Rid. Then we won't apologize to you or Irene anymore," said senior Darryl.

"Yeah, it's ok, senior. Besides, it feels strange to receive an apology from an innocent person," I said.

"Ahahah, come to think of it, that's true. Ok, then we'll be going, Rid, Irene. Sorry for interrupting your time," said senior Darryl.

"It's ok, senior, I'm not bothered," I said.

"Me neither," said Irene.

"I see, then, see you two," said senior Darryl.

"Yeah, see you later, senior," I said.

Then senior Darryl, senior Klara, and senior Nichelle left, leaving us alone.

"Come on, Irene, let's walk back to the dorm," I said.

"Yes," Irene said.

Since the three of them had left, we continued our walk to the dorm.

Meanwhile, as Rid and Irene continued their walk to the dorm, Princess Amelia, quite far behind Rid, was glancing at Rid and Irene. Princess Amelia was looking at Rid and Irene with a cynical gaze.
