His Highness’s Visiting My Home (Reminiscence) ~Alyssa’s Perspective~

“May I visit your home sometime?”

“…Huh?”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince David suddenly appeared in the classroom of the general course, which was bustling during recess. At his arrival, the classroom buzz turned to silence, which then swelled up with his words.

Although there was a clear line between the commoners and the nobles, it did not mean that the two classes did not interact with each other at all.

The commoners in the general course would learn how to interact with the nobles, and the nobles in the noble course would learn how the commoners think.

At the Moshevni Academy of Magic, interaction with each other was encouraged as a matter of course, and the school rules forbid the nobles from using their status as a shield to be unreasonable toward the commoner students.

Some of the nobles actively try to get involved with the commoners in order to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the realities among the commoners, and friendships may develop between commoners and noble students in such cases.

Some of the nobles and commoners alike tend to be attracted to cool boys and cute girls, and some of these students, regardless of their status, have established extensive friendships with each other.

Alyssa belonged to this category because of her appearance and her background as the daughter of a great sage, and many of the nobles were willing to get involved with her.

Still, if the other party was the Crown Prince, it would be a different story.

“Well, I was wondering if I could talk to your father about magic.”

When the lecture came to an end, I understood that it wasn’t a pick-up line.

However, he was the royalty who reigned above the nobility, and even though I was the daughter of a great sage, I was still a commoner.

Well, it would be impossible to agree.

Absolutely impossible.

The Crown Prince’s love of magic was well known, so it was quite understandable that he wanted to talk to the Great Sage, the author of the Compendium of Magic.

It was insane for Royalty to visit a commoner’s house, but since His Royal Highness Crown Prince David usually treated nobles and commoners equally and always respected commoner teachers, he may have resisted the idea of summoning father unilaterally to the royal palace and asking him for teachings.

The Crown Prince’s statement, at one point, caused me near-panic confusion, but it turned out to be out of good intention and a favorable reason (but it was also a big misunderstanding).

“It is an honor, Your Royal Highness Crown Prince David.”

Alyssa bowed her head in reverence.

That was how it was decided that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would visit.

(Alyssa’s point of view)

Of course, I accepted.

Because there was no way I could refuse.

No matter how absurd it was, it would be impossible to refuse the Crown Prince’s request.

Well, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not arrogant at all, and he was very considerate of our situation as commoners.

Even father, who was nervous at the beginning, got along well with him after talking about their interpretation of magic.

At any rate, His Royal Highness Crown Prince David’s visit was successfully managed.

Oh dear, with this, my peaceful academy life should return to normal again…

“Why is His Royal Highness Crown Prince David in my house?”

“Well, I had a talk with the Great Sage Ryan yesterday, and he told me to come visit him anytime, so I took his word for it.”

“…”

Don’t take him seriously! 

There was something called social etiquette in this world, you know.

You were royalty, so you should have known that.

Father wouldn’t carelessly suggest something that could be taken as a pledge!

“…And that’s why I think everyone in this world holds magic too sacred.”

“But, Professor, what about the incident in the empire where the tablet disappeared?”

“…magic is a more logical thing…”

Then they go again.

I wondered if the Crown Prince was bored.

I would like him to go home soon so that I wouldn’t have to worry about a bunch of soldiers coming in to pick him up again…

“So, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince David having dinner at our house?”

“Well, I’m sure Father and the others would have already eaten if I went back now, so I’ve taken advantage of your hospitality.”

“…”

And before I knew it, my father and His Royal Highness Prince David were calling each other “Your Highness” and “Sensei”.

Today, too, I was made to cook a meal for three for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince David, who visited unexpectedly, thanks to his personal attendant, Samantha, who was watching over us.
