Alexia, as the Student Council President, began investigating the disappearances of students.
Each missing person had considerable magical power, as if the culprit was specifically targeting powerful individuals.
Alexia believed The Order was the mastermind, and she had just sought out her sister, hoping to leverage the power of the Crimson Knight Order.
But now, the two of them had fallen out.
"Things are getting difficult now!"
"When in doubt, ask the spring breeze. If the spring breeze is silent, then find Sino!"
Alexia arrived at Sino's classroom.
Everyone was diligently attending class, and Milia wasn't there either.
Though Milia was usually free-spirited, she would return to her own class during class hours.
As a princess and Student Council President, Princess Alexia could usually find any excuse not to attend class.
This was the benefit that came with power.
Alexia, unnoticed by the teacher, slipped into the classroom and secretly approached Sino.
Sino was holding a pen and writing some characters that Alexia couldn't understand.
"Student Xi Nuo, what are you writing?"
"Characters you can't understand!"
"..."
"It sounds like you said something, but also like you didn't!"
"That means I don't want to answer you!"
At this moment, the teacher on the podium noticed Alexia.
Her beautiful white hair, extremely high Appearance, and her status as a princess.
With these three points combined, the teacher would have to be blind not to see Princess Alexia.
"President Alexia, is there something you need, suddenly coming to my class?"
"No, please continue your lecture. I won't disturb you!" Alexia glanced at the teacher and replied with a smile.
The teacher also couldn't do anything about Alexia; he really wanted to assertively tell Alexia to leave, but she was a princess, and he dared not treat a princess that way.
The teacher simply chose to ignore Alexia and continued his lesson.
Many students noticed Alexia and wondered why she had come to their class.
Why was she sitting next to Sino?
Sino's academic performance and magical power were average in this class, placing him in the middle tier, so not many people paid attention to him.
And those who did pay attention to Sino were mostly waiting for him to break up so they could pursue Milia.
No one would dislike Milia, this treasure of a girl.
Milia was called "everyone else's girlfriend" by many men.
As a girlfriend, Milia was too outstanding.
Her academic performance was excellent, her strength was superb, and she was also considerate. In everything she did, her boyfriend came first.
Every male compatriot who saw her would grind their back teeth, complaining to the heavens about the injustice of why they couldn't meet such a good girlfriend.
What everyone didn't understand was why Princess Alexia would suddenly seek out Sino.
Normally, the two of them shouldn't have any connection.
Alexia was also calm and unhurried, taking out a book she carried with her and starting to read.
It contained all sorts of knowledge.
Since she was idle anyway, that knowledge would surely be useful one day, so she had to make full use of her limited time.
What Sino was writing was data for Eta, containing a large number of inventions and their principles.
Eta was a child who could extrapolate; as long as she was given some guidance, she could easily have an epiphany and a burst of inspiration.
All of this was written in Japanese, which Alexia couldn't understand at all.
Sino looked at Alexia, who was reading intently.
He suddenly felt that Alexia was quite beautiful when she was quiet.
Sino took out a blank sheet of paper.
He began to sketch with a pen.
Alexia noticed Sino's gaze. She was about to move but was stopped.
"Don't move, keep reading! I'm sketching!"
"Sketching, what is that?"
"Drawing you!"
Upon hearing this, Alexia immediately continued to read seriously.
Time flew by, and the bell for the end of class rang.
Sino had also finished drawing.
Alexia's profile, reading a book, was perfectly sketched by Sino.
It looked remarkably lifelike.
Alexia looked at the drawing; it was truly beautiful.
"Is this a drawing of me? It's so pretty! Can I have it?"
"Of course!"
"So, Princess Alexia, what do you need me for?" Sino asked.
Christina was now watching Sino out of the corner of her eye. She couldn't understand why a baron seemed so casual in front of Princess Alexia.
Christina was the daughter of a duke, the best student in the entire class, and also the class president.
She didn't particularly like Sino; his daily life was like a salted fish, which she found a bit disagreeable, but it was just that—disagreeable. She wouldn't say anything more or use that reason to make things difficult for him.
At this moment, Alexia felt a chill down her spine.
Undoubtedly, it was Milia.
As soon as the class bell rang, Milia would disappear from her own classroom.
Then reappear in Sino's classroom.
Everyone was already used to this.
"Alexia, don't you have your own class? Don't you have to attend lessons?" Milia said with a cold face.
Milia's words were full of ill intent.
"It's the same no matter where I attend class, isn't it! It's the same curriculum anyway!"
"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. As a princess and Student Council President, Alexia should set an example. Running around during class hours is not a good habit!"
"I'm experiencing the atmosphere of other classes. As Student Council President, this is my duty!"
"Why do I feel like they're a bit jealous?" Jaka said, enjoying the gossip.
"Now that you mention it, it really does seem like it," Yuro echoed.
"What nonsense are you spouting, kid? The Princess would fight over a man with someone else? You're talking rubbish!"
Someone in the class yelled at Jaka.
"Sorry!" Jaka quickly apologized. The other person was the son of an earl, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
Sino noticed everyone looking over and patted both of their shoulders.
"Princess Alexia, you have something to discuss with me, right! Then I'll go with you to the Student Council office!"
The three of them headed to the Student Council office.
As soon as they entered, Sino sat down in Alexia's chair.
He propped his legs on the desk.
"Alexia, I remember telling you not to come looking for me during normal times, didn't I! If you keep looking for me like this, everyone will pay attention to me, and I don't like being noticed by too many people!"
"I'm sorry!"
Alexia immediately apologized.
"I'll give you a small punishment. I'll fine you to wear Mitsugoshi Company's thongs!"
"Um... the one I'm wearing right now is a thong..."
