I Favor The Villainess Chapter 37

Chapter 37
Courtyard incident

“It’s terrible, leader!”
“How noisy”

During a meeting of the Order of the Academy, such news suddenly came .
The male knight who brought the news had a pale face .

“A n.o.ble student seems to have attacked a commoner student!”
“What!?”

Unrest spread across the room immediately .

“Tell us the details”
“Yes . Today, just past noon, a n.o.ble student Deed Marey seems to have argued with a commoner student”
“Deed did!?”

Yuu-sama’s expression changed .
I think some people may have forgotten, so I’ll explain, Deed-sama is Yuu-sama’s attendant .
When we played cards with Yuu-sama, Deed-sama was the swindling dealer .
As royalty’s servant, he’s a n.o.ble himself .

“Did you see the act of the attack…”
“… Yuu, let’s hear the report for now”

Sein-sama urged .

“… Continue”
“Yes . It appears it was just an argument at the beginning, but gradually people around seem to have become involved”

Apparently, it became n.o.bles versus commoners .

“And… Somehow, it seems the commoner insulted Yuu-sama, unable to settle down, Deed-sama attacked him with magic”
“It can’t be… We’re talking about Deed”

Yuu-sama appears to trust Deed-sama, he seems unable to believe it even if the situation was explained to him .

“Because the information is disorderly, the truth may lie elsewhere . But, the facts are a male commoner was seriously injured, brought to the Church hospital, and Deed-sama surrendered himself to the army”

Yuu-sama, still unable to believe it, was still in a daze .
There was no sign of his atmosphere of a prince (although he is a genuine prince) .

“Yuu, go to where the army is keeping Deed and ask him for further details . Okay, leader?”

Rod-sama acted quickly .

“Yes, I’ll be saved if you do that . Even if we received a permit from the army, we wouldn’t be able to meet him immediately, to that end, since meeting during his restraint is allowed for family members, Yuu-sama should do”

Leader nodded .

“The situation is like that . I will give you Lambert as an escort”
“I understand . I’m off”

Yuu-sama and Lambert-sama quickly left the meeting room .

“I also want information from the commoner’s side”
“Should I go? I am a commoner like him, it might be easier for me to hear his story”

It was Misha who came forward .
Although she feigned her usual composure, those aren’t her true feelings .
That’s because, the trouble occurred close to Yuu-sama .
She’s oozing with the feeling of wanting to do something for Yuu-sama .

“Misha alone won’t be granted the meeting permission . Claire, you also go”
“Certainly”
“Then, me too”

Where Claire-sama goes, so do I .

“Please . We’ll observe the state of affairs in the academy and respond if necessary . We’ll bring any situation under control before it gets complicated”

Being able to make exactly the right decisions at times like this, even if it means pa.s.sing the leaders.h.i.+p to Rod-sama, is Lorec’s, the Order of the Academy leader’s, strong point .
Because the leader knows it, he didn’t interrupt .

“Then, everybody move out!”

A hospital is a medical facility operated by the Spirit Church .
It’s a place where sick and injured can receive medical treatment, the way people are charged is slightly special .
It’s expensive for the wealthy and cheap for the poor .
With this service, the Church gained tremendous support among commoners .
The Church’s approval is not just for religious reasons .

Hospitals were established in various places, there’s also one attached to the Royal Academy .
It’s that hospital that the injured male student was brought .
Due to practicing magic, and demon extermination by the Order of the Academy, the academy’s hospital has a rather advanced medical care system .
A lot of students being n.o.bles is also one of the reasons .

“He’s still receiving treatment, please wait for a while”

We sought to meet him in the hospital, but as he’s undergoing medical treatment, we couldn’t meet him immediately .
Right now we’re in the waiting room .

“It is mostly the commoner’s fault for spewing an outrageous rant . He is paying for his own mistakes”

While we’re waiting, Claire-sama said such a thing .
As you can see from her actions so far, Claire-sama is a genuine n.o.ble .
Discriminatory feelings towards commoners are strong .

“But, to attack with magic, isn’t it obviously excessive?”

Misha said, remaining objective .
Although she’s a former n.o.ble, she’s a commoner now .
Having experienced both positions, there’s little bias in her point of view .

“In the first place, it is strange for commoners to throw insults at n.o.bles . Rather, the positions should be reversed… Since when have commoners stopped knowing their place like this”
“Is it okay with positions reversed?”

As Claire-sama’s complaints became excessive, I tried to refute her a little .

“That is… Even n.o.bles should not use foul language without a reason…”
“Ah, but, feel free to do it more with me . Rather, please abuse me”
“Restrain yourself”

As expected, with the current serious situation, Claire-sama won’t join in .
How sad .

“Claire-sama, the treatment is over . Please enter”

Like that, after waiting for a while we were allowed to see the injured boy .
Looking at his appearance, we gasped .
The reason being, his body was so injured, only few spots weren’t covered with bandages .

“…”

Claire-sama, who said a while ago that he’s paying for his own mistakes, unsurprisingly became speechless .
I think declaring he’s paying for his own mistakes is as expected impossible .

“I am Rei Taylor . What’s your name?”
“… Matt . Matt Mon”
“So it’s Matt . We came to ask about your story on behalf of the Order of the Academy . Although your injuries must hurt, could you cooperate with us a little”
“I refuse”

“I refuse”

Matt said curtly .

“Isn’t the Order of the Academy an ally of n.o.bles? There’s nothing to talk about”

Since he engaged in the commoners’ actions, Matt doesn’t have a good image of n.o.bles .

“The Order of the Academy isn’t an ally of n.o.bles . We’re an ally of all the students”

Misha declared in a calm voice .
However―― .

“That’s a wonderful official stance . Leave”

Saying so, Matt lied down .
He became unapproachable .

“Hey, Matt . You may not want to talk, but I think it’s better if you do . At best you’re a commoner like me, getting into trouble with a n.o.ble puts you at a disadvantage”
“! As expected! There’s nothing like justice in this country! That’s why, for justice in this country we―― ouch!”

It seems my words got on Matt’s nerves .
When he sprang up indignantly, I hurried to soothe him .

“Calm down, Matt . We came here so that nothing unreasonable happens . Therefore, could you tell me what happened?
“…”
“Please”

I faced Matt with my utmost sincerity .
Matt stayed silent for a short while, but before long he opened his mouth .

“At first… It was an ordinary quarrel”

According to him, it was like this .
It appears that Matt was a commoner activist who met with Yuu-sama before .
He tried to obtain cooperation from the Church on behalf of the activists’ organization, but it ended in a failure .
Though his comrades comforted him that it was unavoidable, Matt was deeply depressed that he had been of no use to them .
At that time, Deed-sama warned him not to approach Yuu-sama anymore .

“Certainly, he’s a n.o.ble . Even though he wields wealth and authority, he didn’t think of us commoners . Are we not even allowed to pet.i.tion?”

Thinking so, he seemed to blame Deed-sama .
At first Deed-sama seems to have responded gently, but with his master Yuu-sama being spoken ill of, he flared up .
How can you say such ungrateful things while being protected by n.o.bles, it seems Matt was told that .

“And like that, a crowd gathered around us…”

“And like that, a crowd gathered around us…”

It seems it turned into n.o.bles and commoners quarrelling .
A discussion that couldn’t be called a discussion heated up .

“I got extremely angry… So, I, said that”

―― Royalty and n.o.bles are nothing but parasites leeching off commoners .

“What a thing”

The representative of n.o.bles, Claire-sama, glared at him with anger .

“Claire-sama . Please don’t say anything right now . I understand your feelings, but it’d be meaningless”
“But!”
“I will hear your grievances later . For now, our priority is to listen to Matt’s story”
“… Kh”

It seems Claire-sama managed to not lash out .
It’s admirable .
I will pat her later .
Well, she won’t let me .

“And? What did Deed-sama do?”
“Until then he had a displeased expression, with that comment his face turned demonic and he pulled out a wand, before I noticed, I was on fire”

Having recalled that time, Matt hugged himself and shuddered .

“Next time I came to, I was on the bed here . It was at that time I realized I had been injured by him”

Matt said, oozing with frustration .

“If the Order of the Academy is truly an ally of all students, please . Give him a severe punishment”
“It’s up to the academy to decide the punishment . We’re also hearing the story from Deed-sama’s side, but don’t worry . We’ll work hard so you don’t have to accept the situation meekly”
“… I’m begging you”

Saying so, Matt fell onto the bed again .

“Let’s give him a rest . We managed to hear his story”
“You’re right”
“…”

We left Matt’s hospital room .
From the beginning to the end, Claire-sama had a complicated expression .
