Book 15: Chapter 1: Confusion

The new and old student council officers were gathered in the student council room of Serendia Academy. There was Neil, the current student council president and next year's president, Elliot and Bridget, the current secretaries, and Monica, the current treasurer.

The candidates for next year's student council officers were Roberto for vice president, Eliane for secretary, and Lana for treasurer. They were just waiting for the arrival of Felix, Cyril, and Glenn.

Monica, who didn't know until yesterday that Lana had been selected as a new student council officer, wanted to talk to her, but there was someone else who caught her attention even more.

Lana seemed to agree, glaring at that personClaudia, who was sitting snugly next to Neil.

"W-Why are you here? Didn't you turn down the offer to become a student council officer?"

Claudia, with her usual doll-like expressionless face, answered Lana, who was voicing the feelings of everyone present.

"That's right, there's no way I'd take on such a troublesome role."

"Then why are you here? Today is a meeting for the new and old student council officers, you know?"

At Lana's words, Claudia lifted the corners of her mouth and leaned against Neil with an evil smile that would make even the wicked witch of a story envious.

"I am Neil's private secretary. Do you un-der-stand?"

"There's no way I could understand that."

Lana's cheeks twitched as she looked at Neil.

"Hey, is that even allowed?"

"Well, you see"

As Neil made a troubled face, Claudia's arm slid around his neck.

Claudia clung tightly to Neil's left side and said in a flat voice,

"Student Council Regulations, Article 17-3: The student council president may appoint one or more vice presidents, secretaries, treasurers, and general affairs officers, up to a maximum of two each. In addition, the president may appoint volunteer assistants as needed.'"

In other words, it seemed that Claudia was one of these "volunteer assistants".Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

An assistant is someone who does not have the authority of a student council officer, but is more like a volunteer.

However, it goes without saying that Claudia is not the type to quietly devote herself to volunteer work.

"It's obvious that she just wants to be near her fiance without doing any troublesome work."

"Well, actually, it's not quite that simple."

Surprisingly, it was Elliot, the current secretary, who scolded Lana as she groaned in a low voice.

Elliot glanced at the resource room and scratched his cheek, looking a little awkward.

"When Claudia helped me organize the guest list for the graduation ceremony, it went so smoothly Not only does she have book knowledge, but she also has a grasp of the marital relationships in high society. Plus, she has memorized all the coats of arms of the domestic nobility, so the work goes by quickly Even the heraldic officers would be put to shame."

Claudia basically dislikes being relied upon by others.

However, it seems that she is willing to overlook some troublesome matters if it means being by Neal's side.

That's just like Lady Claudia

As Monica smiled wryly, Roberto, who was sitting in a distant seat, raised his hand as if to show off his rolled-up sleeves.

"I also have something I'd like to confirm."

Monica had a bad feeling about this.

This Imperial Magician is none other than the person currently known as Felix Ark Ridill.

This fake Second Prince was plotting to take over the Ridill Kingdom and make it a vassal state of the Empire.

Emanuel Darwin gradually became terrified of what he was doing and decided to take his own life and confess everything here

As Lynn read the report in a monotonous voice, Louis Miller listened while filing his nails in his study at home.

Blowing on his nails, which he had trimmed shorter and rounder than usual, Louis muttered bitterly,

"To think that they would make the first move Lynn, does that report also include a summons?"

"Yes. It says that the Seven Sages are to gather in the Jade Room as soon as possible."

The castle was probably in a state of chaos by now.

Now that the plan had gone so awry, even Louis needed to rethink his next move.

"Lynn, go to Silent Witch immediately and report what you just told me. She can't use flight magic, so you'll have to take her to the castle."

"What about you, Sir Louis?"

To Lynn's question, Louis Miller, one of the Seven Sages known as the Barrier Magician, said with the face of a warrior going to the battlefield,

"Of course, I'm heading to the castle. But before that today for sure today for sure, with my own hands."

"With your own hands."

"I will put Leonora to sleep."

""

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Miller household currently revolves around their newborn daughter, Leonora. Moreover, Louis Miller, who adored his wife, was very cooperative when it came to childcare.

However, for some reason, Leonora would cry like she was on fire only when Louis held her.

Even this useless maid can hold her and put her in a good mood, let alone Rosalie!

In other words, the most pressing matter for Louis Miller right now was to get his adorable daughter to warm up to him.

To the earnest new father trying to get his daughter to like him, Lynn flatly told him, "Perhaps Lady Leonora is frightened by the smell of blood that has seeped into you, Sir Louis."

"How rude. I'm not foolish enough to get drenched in blood from a fight."

""

To Louis, who looked offended, Lynn posed a rare, legitimate question.

"Is it alright not to head to the castle immediately?"

"Even if I hurry to the castle, it's probably in a state of chaos right now. It's obvious that the information is all jumbled up."

Besides, the Seven Sages meeting couldn't start until the Silent Witch arrived although now there were only six sages.

I'll need to take care of that girl's withdrawal procedures from the academy soon.

If the Second Prince, who was supposed to be under her protection, was gone, there was no reason for the Silent Witch to remain at Serendia Academy.

Moreover, now that one of the Seven Sages' seats had become vacant, they needed to start the selection process for the next sage.

Well then. I just hope that girl doesn't do anything unnecessary until then.

As he put away the nail file in the drawer, Louis sighed with a worried look on his face.
