I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead

“Ah . . .”

Elisha’s expression darkened slightly at the words of a letter.

Noel thought there must be something wrong with him.

He was able to guess a little, given the current situation.

Those bad cadets may have stolen or torn Elisha’s letter.

Because they seemed to have no culture at all.

“These children . . .”

Noel inevitably grinded his teeth in the direction the cadets disappeared.

Because of those guys, Rieta was depressed and hadn’t received a letter for days!

“Actually . . . there were some circumstances.”

Elisha’s face darkened.

“Yes I got it. If it’s a case of violence, I can help too . . .”

“I was hiding the fact that the military academy was on vacation, but the Princess heard the news anyway and suggested that we meet.”

“. . . ?”

Noel looked at Elisha with a face that said So what?.

“But I couldn’t go to see the Princess in such a condition, so I couldn’t afford to give her an answer to the meeting.”

Noel looked at his scratched cheeks, the nape of his neck, and his forearms.

Yes, Rieta would be very worried if she saw him like this.

Maybe she would even cry.

“Then tell her that you can’t meet her. The Princess is waiting for you.”

Noel came up with a simple solution.

If this guy replies like that, it’ll make Rieta worry less.

But Elisha looked at Noel with blasphemous eyes, and his hands began to tremble.

“Are, are all of the Imperial servants like this? The master asks for a meeting, and the option of ‘rejection’ exists . . . ?! This is unheard of in Liz!”

“Don’t you think it’s strange to have a country where the option of rejection doesn’t exist?!”

Elisha’s eyes looking at Noel became even more blasphemous.

Noel could be sure of one thing.

He may never be able to understand Elisha’s brain structure.

* * *

“Anyway, get up. You need to treat your wounds.”

Noel held out his hand.

“Thank you, Lord.”

Elisha leaned on his hand and stood up from the spot, and in Noel’s eyes he seemed to stand up endlessly.

“You, you! Why are you so tall!”

Noel naturally looked up at Elisha and took three steps away.

He’s only been away for a few months, isn’t it strange that he grew up like this?

“I don’t know. Strangely, I had the feeling that my clothes were becoming shorter very quickly.”

Even now, Elisha’s pants looked a little short.

Although it must have been a recent thing that he received summer supplies.

“. . . Ask for longer clothing. When the servant behaves like an idiot, the master receives the suspicion.”

“All right.”

“Where is the treatment room? I will take you.”

“It’s fine.”

“Are you really saying you’re fine with that?”

“I mean, there is no reason to go to the treatment room. That’s what it means.”

“Why would an injured person say such a thing? You have to heal quickly so that you can meet Rieta!”

Noel yelled at Elisha, who was acting all stiff.

“The doctor is on vacation. So, the door to the treatment room is closed.”

“What? What if someone is injured? This is the military academy! A military academy would have several people hurt a day!”

“It’s because it’s vacation.”

Elisha replied simply.

Of course, Noel could easily understand his words.

It was vacation, so all the cadets of the major families were returning to their homes.

All that’s left here is a group of people who will cause no unrest even if they died.

So the doctor closed the treatment room and went on vacation in peace.

“What the hell?!”

Noel grunted with a slightly sulky face.

“There is a servant of the Princess, but the doctor is not fulfilling their role.”

“It’s my fault.”

“Of course it is, why the hell are you getting beaten up? They’re nothing!”

Noel was so annoyed that he screamed.

“That.”

Elisha smiled, wiping his bloody cheeks roughly with the back of his hand.

“Because the Princess is enjoying herself due to the favor of the Empire and the Duchy.”

“. . .”

So, even if it was mean, it seemed like he didn’t want to retaliate against the people of the Empire recklessly.

If he became involved, things will become complicated in many ways.

Not only was he at a disadvantage as a foreigner . . . But for the Duke who guaranteed him, Rieta will surely . . .

“I can’t help it.”

Noel sighed deeply and placed his hand on Elisha’s shoulder.

No, he was going to clasp Elisha’s shoulder, but his pride was hurt because his arm needed to be stretched out far further than he thought, so he tapped his arm.

“I’ll bring you some medicine tomorrow. The best ones.”

“. . . Lord.”

As Elisha looked at him with a deeply moved face, Noel was slightly annoyed.

“It’s, it’s not really for you! And it’s not that I’m worried about the Princess, I’m just annoyed with that squirrel-like pounding and waiting for the postman all day.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Anyway, if all that ugly thing on your face disappears, will you be able to meet Rieta at least for a moment?”

“Of course.”
