Cant Contain My A(Hu)nger [Part 2]

Around the time when Emma and friends started to enjoy their long-cherished meal at the cafeteria Robert was in a fit of anger inside the Monster Science classroom.

Huh? Why isnt she here? No apology for her rude mouth?

Still frustrated, Robert couldnt concentrate at all during the class. After the teacher left the classroom, he waited until a little after he couldnt hear the teachers footsteps anymore. Lets say my complaint even a little, Robert headed towards the place where Emma and the others were sitting.

But everyones already gone.

Oi! You over there! Where did Emma Stuart go!

Y-yes, she left immediately after the class is over!

A timid-looking boy shakingly answered Roberts question.

Hmph, so that means she ran away in fear of me!?

H-how to say it? She was staggering when she left the classroom Perhaps she wasnt feeling well?

The timid-looking boy replied while recalling Emmas appearance when she left the classroom.

Hah, I guess its because she takes Monster Science even though shes a girl. A bloody class like today is an everyday occurrence, you know?

Whenever slimes appear, huge casualties will follow. Gruesome stories were also told in todays lesson.

Thats why girls should just listen silently to what I say

She only got full of herself because the Second Prince is interested in her. In the end, shes weak, just weak.

I should correct him. Can I protect her if I lower my head? No, she has spoken rudely to this Robert Lance. Its reasonable to get adequate retaliation.

M-m-may I have a word! Robert-sama!

Several noble sons stood up to the slander towards Emma.

Lady Emma was not full of herself! Lady Emma is very shy and kind. She is an angel-like lady!

Thats right! Also, she is not weak at all!

Huh? Are you guys stupid? She staggered just because she took the class, didnt she? Right?

Robert once again called out the timid-looking boy.

Y-yes She also seemed to walk with her brothers support

George and William supported Emma on both sides when she stumbled just before reaching the classroom door. Her face color also didnt seem to look very good.

Before the class, William said, Your wounds hurt, dont they He seemed to say that to mediate between the two, but maybe her wounds really hurt?

He quickly explained it to Robert in a whispering manner.

T-thats-

The noble sons who defended Emma hesitatingly said with a terrible look on their faces.

See that! Shes weak, weak!

Looking at Robert, who smiled triumphantly, the noble sons accidentally let some information slip.

Its because the scar on Lady Emmas face was from a slime! Lady Emma was hit by a slime last year and almost died! So it cant be helped that she wasnt feeling well in todays class!

Most of the noble sons who defended Emma were from territories near Palace, so they knew more about the details of the situation than the nobles in the royal capital who were far away from monsters.

There were rumors in the royal capital that she got injured from protecting the Prince, but not many knew that it was related to monsters.

Of course, the report on the local barrier hazard has been submitted, but between the less concerned people in the royal capital, few enjoy reading.

A big scar was left on a girls face, and the noble sons who knew the situation also kept silent about it. But because they fervently wanted to defend Emma, they accidentally let it slip.

Hoo? That ugly scar is from a slime?

*smirk* An evil smile floated on Roberts face.

The noble son who made a slip went Ah! and put his hand on his mouth, but its too late. He already spilled Emmas trauma.

Oi! Bryan! Bryan!

*thud thud* He kicked the desk and roughly woke the boy who had been fast asleep from before the class started.

Hm-? Robert-sama Has the class started?

With a sleepy voice, the boy called Bryan looked at Robert and shivered.

The nasty smile he remembered since last year, two years ago, and for a long time was plastered on his face.

Only his childhood friend Bryan knows what that smile means.

That is his expression when he found a new toy.

Robert will stubbornly play with that toy until he breaks it.

Who will be his toy this year?

How pitiful

Lets go, Bryan. I have thought of a good idea.
