Academy’s Second Seat - Chapter 303
#Side Story The Great Harem Marriage Strategy (3)
“The Marquis of Persia… ….”
“What? So that’s what happened with Rudy?”
“Shh! Shh! “Your voice is too loud.”
“Oh, no. Then our princess…….”
“Hey! Hey!”
The maid who opened her mouth first pointed toward her hallway.
Rie was there.
“Hmm!”
“Did you cough? Princess. Good morning…… !”
Rie stared at the two maids and opened her mouth.
“Not a good morning.”
“Inhale!”
“Huh…….”
The maids looked surprised, but Rie passed by, leaving the maid behind.
‘Ugh… ….’
Rie sighed.
Rieda has already heard rumors about Astina.
I didn’t know what happened.
All she knows is what we all talked about together.
The others seemed to know nothing, but Astina knew something about her.
Could it be that she knew before that?
Did Rudy choose Astina?
Rie entered her office with those thoughts in mind.
She then looked at her letter on her desk.
“Then what is this?”
The letter on the desk was from Rudy.
It contained information about having dinner together this evening.
‘No way… ….’
Several thoughts overlapped with Rie, and she was overcome with anxiety.
This is the letter that came after this rumor spread.
Are you trying to say your last goodbye?
She could only think like that.
As she imagined such things, her heart began to throb and hurt.
‘Shouldn’t I just leave?’
If I avoid it, will it get any better?
Even though she thought so…….
“Ugh… ….”
Rie had no choice but to show up to Rudy’s meeting place.
The place where Rudy called Rie was in front of a small restaurant in the corner of the capital.
Because of her upcoming coronation ceremony, it was a bit quiet compared to other busy places.
“Huh?”
When I was waiting for Rudy like that.
An unexpected person appeared in that place.
“Sister?”
It was Uni.
Rie tilted her head at the sudden appearance of Yuni.
“Why are you here?”
“…… “Why are you here, sister?”
The two looked at each other.
The expressions on both of their faces were not good.
“It’s me, I came out because I had an appointment with Rudy?”
Rie said that and looked at Yuni.
Yuni was wearing a pink dress, which she doesn’t usually wear.
It felt like she was wearing it to impress someone.
Yuni opened her eyes thinly and opened her mouth, staring at her Rie.
“…… “Is it me?”
“What?”
Obviously, there was no such content in the letter.
Then why others?
The fact that someone else showed up at the meeting place with Rudy made them feel bad, but it was precisely because of the rumors related to Astina that they felt bad.
Rie thought deeply and opened her eyes wide.
‘No way… ….’
I had a bad thought.
I called everyone together with the intention of organizing everything at once…….
Then Luna is also here…… ?
When Rie was thinking about various things.
“Oh, you both came?”
“…… Rudy?”
“Oh, senior!”
Rudy appeared, neatly dressed in a suit.
Yuni and Rie were surprised to see Rudy wearing a suit.
Rudy didn’t usually dress like that.
It was because he worked as a researcher at the Magic Tower, and he thought it was cumbersome to dress like that due to Rudy’s personality.
“Now, shall we go in?”
“Huh?”
“…… Why?”
Rie slightly turned her eyes and looked at her surroundings.
“Did you invite just the two of us?”
“Yes. Oh, I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you that I was calling two people. “I have some circumstances.”
Rudy bowed his head and truly apologized to her.
A thought occurred to Rie: ‘You didn’t call Luna?’
And he seems truly sorry.
Didn’t they call us to kick us out?
Lee had many questions.
“Well, that could be true~. “Shall we go in then?”
Yuni said that and clung to Rudy’s arm.
“You, you!”
Rie was very surprised to see Yuni like that, and she looked at Rudy.
If it were the original Rudy, she would be embarrassed and push Yuni away.
“Okay, let’s go in.”
But Rudy didn’t do that.
She didn’t even push Uni, but just left her with her arms crossed.
“???”
Rie was confused by Rudy’s attitude.
“Yes~. …… Huh??”
It wasn’t just Rie who had a puzzled face on her face.
Uni, who had her arms around Rudy, also had an incomprehensible expression on her face.
“Are you here?”
As she entered the restaurant, a man who looked like the manager greeted everyone.
“I prepared a meal in the back room. “Let’s go in.” “Thank you.”
Rudy said with a bright smile.
Rie tilted her head as she looked at Rudy.
Rie’s face is so famous that everyone in the country knows it.
Of course, Yuni and Rudy were in the same situation.
Still, is it okay for her to be seen walking around with ordinary people like this?
If she was going to marry Astina, she shouldn’t have been seen walking around with them.
Dine with the person who will become the emperor of the empire and her younger sister?
Is that sister there with her arms crossed?
If he was really planning on getting married with Astina, he should not be seen by ordinary people like this.

‘What on earth are you thinking?’
“Now, please come this way.”
The manager guided us to the back room of the restaurant.
A sumptuous meal was prepared there.
“Have a good time.”
After greeting her, the store manager walked out and Rudy extended her hand toward her seat.
“Come on, let’s sit down.”
Then Yuni looked up at her Rudy and opened her mouth.
“I want to sit next to my senior.”
Yuni spoke confidently.
And Rudy shrugged her shoulders.
“Okay. Do whatever you feel like.”
“Yes~.”
‘Hmm…… ?’
Rie looked at Rudy with her meaningful eyes.
“Why? What’s going on?”
“No, nothing…” ….”
At Rudy’s words, Rie shook her head and then stopped acting.
‘Okay, I’ll have to find out what Rudy is thinking.’
Rie thought that way and took action.
“No! “I have something to say.”
“Huh?”
Rie clenched her fists and said as she looked at Rudy.
“I want to sit next to you too.”
“Next to me?”
“Uh…… ! Next to you…….”
Rie said she had to say something even though she was embarrassed.
If you were the original Rudy, here… ….
“Okay. Do whatever you feel like.”
“…… Senior? Sister?”
Uni was the one who responded to Rudy’s words.
Yuni opened her eyes wide and looked at Rie and Rudy alternately.
“Did I suddenly come to another world? “No, is it a dream?”
Yuni had a puzzled look on her face.
Rudy patted Yuni on the head and laughed.
“What are dreams? “Let’s eat.”
So the three of them sat side by side.
Yuni ate while looking at Rudy and Rie with a puzzled expression.
Rudy ate with a pleasant smile.
Rie was thinking so much that she moved the utensils without knowing if the food was going into her mouth or nose.
‘What is it? What? What on earth? Is there something I don’t know about? Or is it really a dream like Uni said?
As Rie was eating like that, Rudy stared at her.
“Huh?”
Rudy took Rie’s hand.
She then tucked Rie’s hair behind her ear.
“?!?!?!”
“I will eat your hair.”
With her warm eyes, Rie widened her eyes at her affectionate actions.
Her face heated up,
Rie’s thinking circuit could not accept this situation.
It was the same situation with Astina.
Even if you think calmly and objectively, it’s a difficult situation to understand, but Rudy’s loving actions stopped Rie’s thought circuit.
As Rie’s eyes began to twinkle, Rudy looked at Rie with her warm eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“Oh, no! Uh, I don’t have any?”
“Really? If anything happens, tell me. “Because I’m worried.”
“Sigh…… !”
Normally, those words would have been enough to make Rie melt.
No, she was still melting.
“…… Lol. Town… ….”
The corners of her mouth twitched and she tried to make a stupid smile.
I tried my best to manage my facial expressions, but it didn’t work out well.
“…… “Sister, what kind of expression is that?”
“Well, well…” ….”
The corners of her mouth went up as much as they could, but as she kept trying to lower them, a strange expression appeared.
Although Rie was making such a strange expression, Rudy’s eyes seemed to be filled with honey.
Yuni looked at the two and sighed.
“I don’t know what the hell is going on… ….”
The three of them finished their meal in a strange atmosphere.
“Oh, that’s right.”
After the meal was over, Rudy looked at the two in turn and opened his mouth.
“I have prepared something separately.”
“Have you prepared anything?”
“Oh! “Is it a gift?”
“Oh, it’s a gift, right?”
Uni’s eyes sparkled at Rudy’s answer.
“What is it? “Is it good?”
“Relatively? For a moment.”
Rudy got up from his seat and went towards the bag on one side of her room.
‘Gift… ….’
Yuni was full of anticipation, but Rie was somewhat anxious.
Then she suddenly became afraid that she might make a bombshell statement.
Rudy started rummaging through her pockets, and Rie and Yuni looked at each other closely, each with different thoughts.
“Now.”
And what Rudy took out of her pocket.
“If you go?”
It was a mask and a light hood that could cover the face.
Rie and Yuni looked at it blankly.
Rudy smiled and handed it to the two.
“Now, put it on.”
“This?”
“What are you trying to do?”
Rudy gestured with her meaningful face.
“You’ll find out when you come.”
