FOUR

Rosalia, who ran breathlessly into the economics classroom, dropped her bag on Sasha’s front seat and waved at her.

"Sasha Jules, you."

Sasha smiled and jolted, as if Rosalia, who had a moody look on her face, predicted that she would say something harsh to her.

"Lia, Professor Samuel is going to take a pop quiz this time, three or four sheets."

"What? Without warning?"

"I just heard from my assistant, you should study fast!"

"Uh, uh, I guess I should."

Rosalia, who opened her mouth in astonishment, hurriedly sat down and pulled out an economics textbook to study.

Instead of complaining to Sasha, it was more important to get good scores on the economics pop quiz.

It was okay to complain to Sasha about how she abandoned her in that situation after class later.

Rosalia, who spread out her handwritten notes along with the textbook, went over the concepts she had reviewed again.

"Which has a significant impact on prices…"

Rosalia, who was muttering, raised her head, sensing that the surrounding area had become noisier, and found Prince Lucian entering the classroom through the front door.

Ah.

Rosalia, who bowed her head hurriedly, frowned.

Don’t come this way…

The sense of crisis she felt earlier still hadn’t recovered.

Fortunately, a group of girls shouted and surrounded Prince Lucian as if escorting him and led him towards them.

"Prince! Can you take a look at this?"

"Please, take a look at this. We did it yesterday…"

Amid the loud noise, Rosalia tried to concentrate on the textbook.

"What is it dear?"

At the peak of his sweetness, she tried to ignore Prince Lucian’s voice.

Why the hell are you talking like that?

The other students at the academy were not so greasy. Some of them, who looked unique in their own way, thought Rosalia was fine.

Rosalia might shyly accept a boy like that asking for a date. The problem was that those guys wouldn’t ask her out.

Anyway, Rosalia tried to ignore Lucian walking past her. The blond Prince, who always carries a book of poetry in one hand, wears a neat school uniform, wears a tidy tie, and smells fragrant of his thick hair waving gently in the wind.

Phew…

It wasn’t until more than five seconds after that before Rosalia breathed holding her breath, but she felt nauseous again because she smelled a faint scent of orange.

She shook her head a couple of times to shake off the lingering odor at the tip of her nose.

Let’s focus, Rosalia Xane.

Even if you were about to flunk in art, it was important to take a good look at the economics quiz now.

Rosalia was able to write down all the answers on all ten questionnaires to see if concentrating for a while would work.

In the quiet conference room, only the assistant’s footsteps could be heard walking around with the assessment sheet. Rosalia, who sent him the assessment sheet, smiled in delight.

I think in economics I can get an A+ at this rate. As long as I don’t screw up the finals.

It felt so good that she was able to forgive Sasha. Thanks to Sasha telling her there was a pop quiz, she was able to check it out during the break.

Yes. Even with Sasha, the situation wouldn’t have improved.

Instead of complaining to Sasha, it would be better to talk about how she got through the crisis earlier.

She wanted to tell her best friend her useless story, but there is still 20 minutes left in class. And the old Professor Samuel always filled the class time.

I want to hurry up and talk.

Rosalia, who wanted to talk to Sasha, looked around the classroom. The assistant skimmed through the assessment sheet and walked out of the classroom, and Professor Samuel was busy explaining the concept, and sat in the middle of the classroom, which had adjusted the spacing between desks according to the test formation.

Rosalia, who was looking around the room, tore a sheet from the notepad and quickly scribbled on it.

[I lied to the Prince earlier. XD]

She then pulled her hand back and laid the note on the desk touching the back of her hand.

Soon after, Sasha touched Rosalia’s shoulder with her index finger. Rosalia quickly pulled her palm back. Since the body was looking straight ahead, the professor would not have noticed that the two students were sharing their conversation.

Rosalia, who opened the note again, frowned.

A very simple answer came back.

[?]

A question mark?

Rosalia smiled and quickly wrote an additional explanation.

[How can I tell the Prince he has a greasy face? I lied that I said I meant delicate. XD, he was greasier when I saw him up close. His way of talking is so cheesy. Butter Prince :((((((((]

Then she put her hand back the same way as before and left the note on Sasha’s desk.

Sasha touched her shoulder for a moment even after listening to the professor’s lecture with her hand on her chin. Rosalia returned her hand. The note landed softly in her palm.

[How can I tell the Prince he has a greasy face? I lied that I said I meant delicate. XD, he was greasier when I saw him up close. His way of talking is so cheesy. Butter Prince :((((((((]

There was a slightly nervous line of handwriting above a sentence.

Rosalia clicked her tongue inside.

Sasha still disagrees with my opinion that the Prince’s face is greasy.

Prince Lucian was odd in her own opinion.

She shook her head slightly and went back to writing letters in the margin below it.

[ 🙁 It’s very greasy. Oh my. I didn’t draw a single thing in art class before. I’m in trouble. I’m going to fail. ;ㅁ; Ah!!! I just thought of this. Is there a portrait of the Prince in the market? Should I buy that and copy it?”].

After dropping the note on Sasha desk, Rosalia waited for a response in a hurry. She thought it would be nice if Sasha said she would go out with her later.

However, even though she waited, Sasha didn’t tap her shoulder. She leaned over and just sent her hand back to shake it, but there was no texture of the paper sitting in her palm.

Feeling curious, Rosalia looked back and found blue eyes.

The stars of those eyes are… It wasn’t her green-eyed best friend, but an expressionless Prince Lucian!

It was shocking. She froze with her mouth slightly open.

Sasha was definitely sitting behind me.

Rosalia, whose eyes were shaking in a chaotic situation, soon found Sasha sitting diagonally in the back.

Sasha seemed more remorseful about what had happened in front of the bathroom. She lifted both shoulders and shook her head slightly.

Prince Lucian smiled and whispered to Rosalia, who was stiff as a stone statue.

"Look straight ahead, Lia. You’re in class."

"…"

For her, still stiff, Prince Lucian seemed more starry-eyed.

'Let’s talk after class."

"…"

Rosalia turned her head stiffly like an ungreased wooden doll and looked straight ahead.

Maybe because she was so shocked she didn’t even sweat anymore.

Her head was empty like a blank sheet of paper.

After that, the class continued.

As soon as Professor Jodic said, “The next content is,” with the sound of the bell, the students got up and left the classroom in an uproar.

"Prince, will you join me for lunch?"

"We brought sandwiches today!"

"We baked bread, too."

Coupled with the chattering voices of the students, the loud voices of the people overlapped.

"Prince, how about playing tennis together after dinner?"

"Let’s team up with me. Colton wants to bet on his pony."

Prince Lucian was always at the center of popularity.

Rosalia carefully got up from her chair, hoping that the Prince would leave the classroom with them.

She tried to approach Sasha standing at the front door, hoping that she wouldn’t stand out as much as possible, but a low voice called out to her.

"Wait, Lia."

Rosalia tried to pretend she didn’t hear it, but everyone heard the Prince’s voice. She could feel a lot of attention on her back. If she ignores the Prince’s words like this, everyone will be surprised.

Prince Lucian approached her who was looking back awkwardly with a tearful feeling.

Rosalia stared at him.
