Became the Hated Illegitimate Son of the Duke in Romance Fantasy - Chapter 52
52 – Episode 52
“Ah, come to think of it, William, no, did His Highness the Crown Prince know that Eric came here?”
“You don’t know, the only people who know are the wizard-sensei you just talked to and Louise-sensei.”
“Uh, then I’m the only one among the students..?”
“Yes.”
Students began to gather as we spent time talking with Misty.
Children start boarding after checking the number of the wagon to see if there is a seat assigned to them, rather than looking around and wandering around.
“Misty, shouldn’t you ride too?”
“I see. Come to think of it, what about Eric? Didn’t the teacher give you a seat?”
I try to ruminate on the memories.
And I couldn’t think of it again.
I think he just said to ride with you.
However, the wagons packed with students do not look like there will ever be a seat.
It’s obvious that each one has already been assigned.
“You didn’t do it, let’s just go inside.”
“Wait! If there’s an empty seat in the carriage, you can sit there!
Well, if not, stick with me….”
Ignoring Misty’s backbiting, I went inside the carriage.
The children were already sitting and reading books.
And the empty space had nothing but a seat Misty could sit on.
Even the floor was littered with canes, bags, and other things.

Since the carriage has not started yet and the driver is not in the front seat, we come down to the ground and talk.
“Looks like there’s no room to ride.”
At that, Misty replied with a slightly embarrassed face.
“Why don’t we go and talk to the teacher right now?”
“I don’t even know where you are.”
At that, Misty looked around. She
Realizing that she is not around, she goes to the carriage next to her and checks all the spaces, but in the end, she cannot find the teacher and returns.
“Again, where did you go… Eric, how about sitting on top of me?
Ah, it’s okay if I sit on top of Eric if it’s not burdensome!”
“I don’t like that. I’ll just go there myself. If there’s no free space, I’ll go crumpled next to the luggage, or ride next to the coachman.”
“What the hell is this, ugh. Because of useless customs….”
I quickly started clamoring to get into the carriage and Misty started mumbling and going into her seat.
The content of the murmurings was that he had no intention of going to the battlefield, so why did he have to ride such a wagon with the children clinging to him?
The teacher asked me to ride with Misty, but she never said she would make room for me. That’s right.
I leave Misty in her wagon and walk towards the wagon where the workers have been loading her for a long time.
He gets a little wary as I approach and asks what’s going on.
It’s a bit suspicious that a human who doesn’t look like calluses is carrying a burden on a white hand.
“There’s no place in the carriage for me to ride.”
“Oh, I think I said that a new member came in this time. Is that correct?”
When I said yes, he thought a little before opening his mouth.
But how does the coachman know this?
He is a bit of a suspicious-looking person.
“Then get into the luggage compartment, since the space is wide.
Oh, and there’s one cumbersome piece of baggage, but you can just push it away and sit down.”
He says that with a slightly sinister grin.
And when I climbed into the luggage compartment, the tree made a distinctive creaking sound.
And when I climbed up and checked the space, there was only one bed.
A bonus is the magician dressed in the ridiculous clothes we were talking about up until now.
It was the teacher who had just been talking to me with slightly tired eyes.
It seemed that he was sleeping, judging from the hissing noises.
Looking around, there was something lying there that looked like it shouldn’t be touched.
I can’t see a place where I can sit down, so I sit on the edge of the bed.
I wonder if the cumbersome luggage the coachman was talking about is referring to the teacher.
Maybe not a coachman, but an assistant.
The hands carrying the load and whipping were bound to have visible dead skin cells or calluses.
“Ummm, what are you….”
The teacher got up rubbing her eyes as if she felt the presence.
Then he looked at me and made an annoyed expression, as if he wanted to say that he woke up because of me.
“There are no seats in the carriage.”
“… ? There’s no way…”
She muttered for a long time as if she was talking in her sleep, and then said as if she realized something.
“One by one, densely..Everything… ah. That’s right, a freshman, hey, ah, that’s right.”
Then he puts on a slightly apologetic expression.
Then he made a strange expression again and frowned while thinking about it.
“Well, you can just sit on top of your friend and go.
I think Misty would have let me sit down. You, not very heavy.. You don’t even look strong.
Get off now… Oh, what is this?”
As soon as I was about to get the word to get off, the procession of wagons began to depart.
At first glance, the rolling wagons seem to be raising dust, and dust has begun to completely cover the surroundings through the open area.
Fortunately, it was wrapped in a white cloth, so it didn’t cover the whole body.
“Well… Whoaam!… It’s a thing, so don’t touch it.
Just, uh, uh, they said something. Unless the assassins… Just showed up.”
After saying that, the teacher crouched down again, closed her eyes, and began to sleep soundly.
She must have been rolling hard for almost an hour.
The carriage started to stop.
The coachman gets off the carriage and watches the sleeping teacher lying on the bed for a while, and then she starts to wake him up by saying something.
Rubbing her eyes, she got up and got out of the carriage. Only then did the coachman start unloading the luggage inside.
I walked towards the place where the children gather.
Misty was talking with the prince and Julieta with a slightly uncomfortable look on her face.
There was no way the prince wouldn’t notice that, but he was making a sly expression.
Then, as I approached, he made a bright face and beckoned me to come here.
“Eric, where did you get the carriage from?
I looked around, but I couldn’t see anyone riding next to the coachman!”
“Suddenly, what did Eric say…Um?”
As if Misty hadn’t heard anything in particular, the prince said that when Misty called me, she said something absurd.
Her expression was so contrived that the acting was obvious, but Misty seemed to think the prince was really surprised.
I bowed her head to the prince lightly and answered Misty’s question.
“I just rode it because there was space left in the luggage compartment.”
“It’s fortunate among the misfortunes.”
The prince changed the subject abruptly, as if it was slightly disapproving that it was just the two of us talking.
“It’s so amazing to come all the way here after leaving a normal class.
Isn’t it, maybe the class you’re taking has changed.”
With a very, contrived expression of wonder.
And Julieta didn’t care if it was revealed that she already knew, or that she knew, so she didn’t look particularly surprised.
But I could have gone somewhere other than the Faculty of Magic.
When you make an expression that you know everything like that, you look mean for some reason.
Maybe it’s because of that gangster-like outfit.
A calm face, always holding a pen and round glasses.
It feels like you are overflowing with knowledge.
“Come to think of it, Your Majesty has arranged various opportunities. Is this one of them?”
“Yes, Your Majesty allowed me to change faculties.”
“hahahaha, even though he talks a lot, he’s the kind of person who listens to everything I want, so maybe that’s the case.”
Even though she said so, her expression showed a bit of condescension, as if she wanted to reveal that she had asked the emperor.
Ah, since the Crown Prince passed away, I guess I should write something polite.
It seems that he himself doesn’t even think about it.
I hear something knocking nearby.
I heard that they were gathering and sparring, and in the large empty lot next to them, workers were building something by bringing luggage from a wagon.
After driving an iron stake into the ground and putting a net around it, the magician approached and chanted a spell, and at that moment, a dome-shaped arena appeared.
And Misty stands next to Julieta and talks to us.
“Oh, I think Julieta and I should go first!
The two of you, um, I don’t know what to talk about, but stay together!”
Misty went away arm in arm with Julieta and I was left alone with the crown prince.
Students around didn’t even think about coming close to see if the crown prince had been beaten in the Faculty of Magic or if he was afraid.
He finds an appropriately empty seat and sits down on the dirt floor.
“Well, I knew, but I didn’t know you would come to the Faculty of Magic.”
“Did you know? But just in front of Misty….”
“I didn’t know.”
If you’ve already started feeling tired, it’s probably not your fault.
