The reason not one person tried to break up the girls’ standoff was because Mary Albert herself was involved. She was the daughter of the neighboring nation’s noble family who stood equal to the royalty. If someone made a careless remark towards her, they’d not only put their own social standing in jeopardy, but they’d risk putting their entire family in mortal danger. Even abroad, House Albert held tremendous power—not a single other person at Elysiana College was in Mary’s league.

And so nobody said a word as silence overtook the strained atmosphere around them. For her part, Mary felt quite moved at the fact that she’d managed to properly convey her sarcasm and snide, but of course, she kept that hidden away in her heart.

For a long moment, the heavy air brought about by Mary’s proclamation remained unbroken, until one brave person from Lilianne’s reverse harem began to slowly walk towards Mary, perhaps intending to lash out at her. No, he definitely wasn’t brave enough for that. Nonetheless, he called out, “Lady Mary...”

He was a handsome youth, with vibrant eyes and matching hair color, the archetypal princely character. He had a gentlemanly attitude and a soft look in his eyes, and he was popular due to the fact that his manners were perfect regardless of who he was interacting with, noble or not. Both in the game and in reality, he was pompous enough to refer to Lilianne as “princess.”

Though he looked timid, he still stepped in to break the conflict up, holding Lilianne close as he snatched her away from Gainas. Lilianne squealed in a cutesy voice, her expression screaming, “Don’t fight over me!” The sight of it made Mary sigh in her mind.

“Lady Mary, don’t you think that was uncalled for?” the young man reproached her in a gentle voice.

Lilianne quickly changed her tune and looked up at him with a distraught expression. Her eyes seemed to beg, “Save me!” which would surely stir any man’s protective instincts. The rest of the men’s eyes sparked to life, and they all rose to their feet as well, perhaps unable to take the idea of having the chance to savor this protective vigor stolen away from them.

This time, Mary sighed out loud as she watched it happen.

She thought men who wanted to protect women were splendid, and so was their courage in stepping up when someone wanted to depend on them. However, it was crucial to pick one’s battles carefully, or else the whole thing would be nothing more than a fool’s errand.

And right now, they’d chosen the wrong opponent. The young men were so enthralled by their little “princess” that they’d forgotten just who they were up against.

“Why, I’ve no idea what you mean,” Mary responded to the one who’d spoken to her.

“I’m referring to your earlier words. I think you went a little overboard when you said those things to her.”

“My, is that so?” she asked nonchalantly, not even bothering to meet his eyes. She started combing through her hair to show how little interest she had in this.
