Chapter 39: If It’s You (貴方であれば)


    The moment Gia voiced that question, Violette felt the air froze for a moment. udia and Mirania were surprised to hear their name suddenly mentioned. Even Violette was surprised. Above all, Yns pink atmosphere immediately turned gloomy.


    As anyone could see, it would be better if no one touched on that topic. Yet, Gia asked the question as if it was only natural for him to feel curious. Those two people gathered at the same table as Violette, but they didnt interact with her at all. Not to say, they knew each other unterally. Their position, gender, age; they didnt have many simrities with Violette.


    Rather than acquaintance Well


    They were her acquaintances. But from udias perspective, he ssified Violette as someone he didnt want to interact with.


    And Violette understood that well. It was easy for her to nod, considering that it was the truth. Yet, to be honest, she wanted to say that they were strangers. Violettes eyes wandered, not knowing how to reply.


    Before Yn could open his mouth to help Violette, the person concerned opened his mouth.


    Shes an old friend. Most of the students at this academy have known each other in social circles for a long time.


    udia didnt look at them. He focused on eating his meals as he answered, but his answer wasnt as harsh as Violette expected. She was a little surprised by his unexpected response.


    Gia looked like he was convinced with that exnation. He didnt dig any further and answered with a weak reaction before he started stuffing his cheeks like a squirrel.


    Rather than that, Im more surprised that you know each other.


    My first meeting with Vio-san is just a few days ago. I know Yn from middle school.


    Now that you said it, you came to this academy at middle school, huh?


    Violette wondered if Gias easy-going attitude was due to his personality. Or maybe, the environment where he grew up raised him into this kind of person. She didnt mind since he was Yns good friend, but should he talk like that to the prince, who unmistakably had a special position?


    Vio was worried that udia might scold or even threaten him. In the end, it was all needless anxiety. udia didnt look reluctant to pardon Gia. He simply epted his friendly tone. It seemed like not only Violette was surprised with this.


    udia, do you know him?


    A few times in diplomatic gathering. Hes Sinas prince.


    Sina was Gias country of origin. He was the third heir to the throne in other words, he was a prince.


    The ind country consisted of varied sizes of inds surrounded by the sea. Even so, the citizens only lived on the ind with thergest area. Therefore, there was a lot of untouched naturea treasure trove of rare flora and fauna.


    Sinas people were known as lively. Long ago, they used to be a small ethnic group who loved hunting. Both men and women had tanned skin, plus silver hair, blue eyes, and green eyes weremon there. It was a perfect match for Gias appearance. Since he was attending this academy, it was natural that he had a decent social position but they never thought that he would be a prince.


    Violette and Mirania raised their eyebrows in bewilderment. Both of them felt like they could understand Yns feelings. Most likely, he was also surprised when he knew Gias identity during middle school.
