When the protagonist of the otome game is unintentional strategy [system]

No matter how beautiful the well-arranged Swan Lake is, and how delicious and tempting the carefully baked refreshment cakes are, the young masters and ladies present could not calm down to appreciate and taste them.

The eldest daughter of the First Duke's family personally expelled the most beloved jewel of the Marquis Charles from the tea party. This was undoubtedly a major event enough to cause a storm in Nobili's upper class.

As for the civilian who caused the incident at the beginning... No one cares about why she escaped Avia's attack—since His Royal Highness Prince Sutrick favors her, then give her one or two defensive weapons that can withstand the attack, It's not particularly unusual.

Anyway, the royal family always likes to use these things to buy people's hearts.

The people who witnessed it with their own eyes had their own thoughts, and the wonderful social occasion seemed to be downgraded because of their absent-mindedness. Starangui saw that everyone was eager to go back and report today's knowledge to the elders, so he simply didn't force him to stay. With just a few words on the scene, he announced simply and neatly: The tea party is over here.

The academy tea party is a very rare and important occasion that allows the nobles to have a suitable environment to get closer to each other. This time it ended so hastily, which should have caused others to gossip about the royal family, but in fact, none of the nobles present Complaining about this is just the opposite - because Starangui's generous and caring behavior made them feel that Her Highness the Princess is more sympathetic to his subjects.

After saying goodbye to every nobleman who came to praise her with a smile, Starangui glanced at the brown-haired girl in the corner who was still trying to get rid of Satrick, her eyes darkened, but she still restrained herself. Seeing the negative emotions in his heart, he turned his head to Gloria pretending to be relaxed and said, "My lord, don't stay any longer...Miss Breviu was frightened today, you should go and comfort her."

Gloria folded her hands in front of the waistline of the dress, and looked at Kolusta who didn't know what to say before finally dissuading Satrick who wanted to send her back. Looking at her appearance... the silver-haired girl softened the look of staring at Satrick indifferently just now, and smiled slightly, with sincere tenderness in her brows and eyes.

It was too far away, and the anxious brown-haired girl couldn't see it, but Starangui could see it clearly... Only by biting the tip of her tongue could she barely maintain the smile on her face.

What kind of ability does that girl have to make Gloria show such a look!

The noble princess suppressed the resentment and bitterness in her heart, but still behaved so gracefully and decently - she did not allow herself to lose her composure in front of Gloria easily.

"My lord?" She said softly, "Aren't you going?"

"...Then I will take my leave, Your Highness." Gloria seemed to be awakened, and she stopped staring at the brown-haired girl in a daze. Star's side has already cleared the field, so there is really no need to wait any longer.

When the duke's daughter turned around and walked towards the Swan Lake with those golden eyes, Starangui gently wiped her soft silver skirt with her fingertips, with an indescribably complicated look , fixedly looking at Gloria's back.

Like a fish looking at a snare, like a moth looking at a fire.

Knowing that that person was more dangerous than himself, he couldn't restrain his desire to indulge in her arms.

……

Kolusta felt that she was so nervous that her scalp was numb. Even if the Potions teacher suddenly announced that she would take the exam in class, it would not make her break out in such a cold sweat.

"—That's because you have me to help answer the paper, temporary carrier."

The system complained about her calmly, but Kolusta himself had no time to refute this sentence.

She stared blankly at Gloria walking slowly, feeling like a white rabbit being targeted by an eagle, those sapphire blue eyes were like a sharp arrow, which could pierce through the heart suddenly, She froze in place.

Kolusta: "QAQ."

hope people are ok...

"Do you know that I'm here to settle accounts with you?" The Duke's daughter stood in front of her, taking advantage of her height by half a head, overlooking Kolusta from a rather unapproachable angle, and said calmly, "I'm afraid it will be like this Why didn't you expect this moment to happen before you came here?"

Actually thought of it, Kolusta couldn't help showing a mournful expression for herself.

If you want to blame it, you can blame this bastard system, it is all the tattered tasks issued by it.

System: "Am I taking the blame again?"

It is also responsible for the blame, and it is also doing the work. Seeing that the temporary carrier is facing a major crisis, it simply suppresses the reminder of the completion of the task for the time being.

Let's talk later when we have time.

As for Kolusta, Gloria saw that she didn't answer, but still looked at herself with those watery eyes, her heart softened, but her face was still taut with frost, and she said coldly: "Let's go, Find a clean place, and then explain it to me—who gave you the guts to not listen to me."

Kolusta raised her leaden legs with a sad face, followed behind the other party, and left the Swan Lake while scolding the system.

All the way without a word, the brown-haired girl followed Gloria like a child who did something wrong, stepping on her footsteps step by step. I don't know how long she walked, how many steps she went up, and how many corners she turned. The person in front of her stopped suddenly, and Kolusta didn't notice for a moment, and almost hit her back directly.

However, although she braked in time, after Gloria turned her head slightly, she still felt a small burst of Kolusta's breath on the back of her neck.

The daughter of the duke, who has always been elegant and self-sufficient, paused slightly, her eyes darkened, but her voice was still calm and steady: "Come here."

Kolusta moved to her side like a crab, was grabbed by Gloria's wrist, and walked straight forward. The former looked up in amazement and found that they had walked back at some time. After leaving the academy, they were just now stopping in front of a polygonal tower that looked old.It has a dark exterior wall that gives people a sense of massiness, curved semicircular arches, and a swan-shaped white logo that is embedded in the wall and outlined by lines on the arches.

Kolusta had seen this symbol before, and it was also on the pointed tower of the first-year dormitory.

She instantly realized what kind of building it was.

The Holy Light Academy of Magic is rich and powerful, and each grade has its own student dormitory, but the first grade is the bottom of the academy, and commoners such as Kolusta are like country bumpkins, so they have almost no chance to know other senior students. Where are the bedrooms.

This kind of information that has nothing to do with the main storyline is also passed by in the game, but Kvit once secretly told her that it is rumored that the first-year students of the Holy Light Academy of Magic live in a steeple tower—it is narrow and tall, and it will be exhausting to go up the building. ; the second grade lived in a square tower—it was much more spacious, and climbing the stairs was not so terrible; while the third grade, they would live in a separate small castle, but they didn't know where it was in the Holy Light Academy of Magic.

Nobili's class discrimination is really implemented in every detail.

Kolusta was numbly dragged into this tower by Gloria—look, there is not even an administrator, and sure enough, the words "the first grade is the bottom" are not purely ironic, but naked. Reality.

The tower was quiet, and a needle could be heard. Gloria glanced at Kolusta, who was hurrying to look around, and led her directly to the fifth floor.

After walking out of the stairs, Kolusta was taken aback. The fifth floor is the highest floor of the tower, but it is different from other floors.

Below the fifth floor, although the distance between each door is not tight, it is not much spacious; and on the fifth floor, Kolusta clearly noticed that there are walls with one or two oil paintings occasionally occupy most of the area.

To put it another way: there are surprisingly few rooms on the fifth floor, but each one occupies a considerable area.

"I feel like I've strayed into a new world," Kolusta said to the system, "Guess, how many times will the rooms of those who are eligible to live on the fifth floor be the size of my small room?"

The system was silent for a while, then replied: "After scanning and calculation, it is about three and a half times the size of your dormitory."

"...didn't make you so precise," Kolusta said in a blown voice, "now my mood is even worse,"

Alas, this is the world of the strong.

When she entered Gloria's bedroom and saw the noble and elegant furnishings everywhere, Kolusta sighed in her heart, she was almost tied up and arranged in the center by the owner of the room to entertain guests Sitting on a soft armchair, he began to carefully look at this bedroom - which is also the private space of the Duke's daughter.

After Gloria personally brewed a cup of lychee black tea for her, she still glued her eyeballs to the oak clock on the wall, as if she was curious and avoiding someone’s gaze.

Gloria was sitting in front of her on the left, not speaking, just sipping the crimson tea soup in the cup, while looking at Kolusta quietly.

"..."

Before Kolusta felt that her eyes were about to cramp, she had no choice but to straighten her head, like a little girl who did something wrong, put her hands on her knees, and lowered her head sincerely .

Seeing that she was finally willing to face the reality, Gloria also put down her teacup and said calmly, "Tell me why you went to the tea party."

"I received an invitation letter from Her Majesty the Princess," Kolusta whispered, "and this dress...Sister, I can't help it—I don't know how to reject Her Majesty the Princess."

From the beginning to the end, Starangui directly stuffed things into her.

A small commoner doesn't have the right to resist, even if he knows it's a pit, he still has to hold his nose and jump into it.

...But Gloria wouldn't know that when Kolusta jumped into the pit, she didn't pinch her nose at all, but wanted to do a trick dive while laughing wildly.

The duke's daughter, who was deceived by the other party's innocent appearance, frowned and moved her fingertips slightly. Kolusta felt as if something had landed on her skirt—but after blinking, this strange feeling suddenly returned. It disappeared without a trace, without a trace.

"That's detecting magic." The system said caringly, "If it wasn't for your strong magic power... you might not feel the slightest bit at all."

Gloria naturally didn't find any clues from the skirt, her light-colored eyebrows were still frowning, and the doubts in her heart increased instead of diminishing.

"Tell me in detail what happened before." Gloria said.

Kolusta still sat aggrieved like a doormat, and pitifully explained a series of things that Avia fanned her, slandered her, and attacked her. Ya's heart softened, the silver-haired girl sighed, stood up when she finished the last word, and personally brought the cup of steaming black tea to Kolusta's hand.

The faint sweetness of lychees permeated the air, Kolusta smelled the reassuring fruity aroma, looked up like a little squirrel, and glanced at Gloria.

This one looks great.Gloria sighed in her heart. She originally wanted to show her face and settle accounts with her, but now it seems... It is definitely going to be a mess.

"Should I say that you are too stupid, or should I say that you are too brave?" Gloria knuckles condescendingly, patted her forehead affectionately and tenderly, and said helplessly, "I don't know what you used This method can actually neutralize Charles' attack... But have you ever thought about——if this method doesn't work, what will be waiting for you?"

She knew that Kolusta had not received any "defensive weapons" from others. This kind of thing is quite expensive, unlike an invitation letter and a dress that can be easily concealed, so Gloria immediately determined that Kolusta There must be secrets in Star that she doesn't know.

The tone of her words was flat, as if she was talking about the growth of herbs, but Klusta felt a palpitation for no reason.

"We are a professionally trained system, and we won't let the carrier suffer any damage," the system suddenly muttered when she was feeling cold all over for no reason, "This Gloria is really... well, forget it, she is too Concerned about you, temporary carrier."

"I know."

Kolusta tightened her fingers holding the teacup, and the temperature of the iron warmed her palm through the cup. The brown-haired girl raised her face, looked at Gloria with golden eyes, and opened her mouth, as if wanting to what to say-

But in the end, she lowered her head again, ready to lose her favor, and said sullenly: "I'm sorry, senior sister. I can only say that Miss Charles would definitely not attack me at that time, but why, please forgive me I really...can't tell you."

Although I don't know why yet, Kolusta understands that the cold and ruthless boss behind the scene in the original plot is really worried about her at this moment.

Gloria pursed her lips and sat back in her original position.

But miraculously, she, who has always been obsessed with controlling everything, didn't feel too much anger after hearing this sentence, but was somewhat inexplicably disappointed.

——If I could get closer to her, like at that time, she would no longer have any secrets to hide from me.

... As for now, don't get too hasty.

Gloria closed her eyes and exhaled lightly. Her blue eyes glanced at the gleaming swan necklace on Kolusta's neck, and flashed a complex dark light calmly.

"Ding, Gloria's favorability is +2."

"..." Kolusta looked up blankly, "???"

Did she hear it right?

The system was also shocked—it even re-tuned the program and found that the favorability point had indeed increased by two points, and the total had become 15.

The smell of lychee black tea wafts into the room. The lively fruity flavor and the steady tea fragrance seem to be in conflict, but the perfect combination creates a new sense of smell. Kolusta stared blankly at Gloria, thinking I can't tell what the mixed feelings are. For the first time, I didn't have the intention of "playing routines to gain favorability and get a real ending", but asked sincerely: "Sister, you drove Miss Charles out today because of me. Is it...?"

After finishing speaking, she held her breath involuntarily, fearing that she was acting affectionate, and stared closely at the slightly surprised face of the Duke's daughter.

Gloria was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

Kolusta showed an expression of surprise uncontrollably, just like a cat that has been pampered for a long time and finally got comforted by its owner, the golden pupils were shining brightly.

She felt her heart beat sharply twice.

Gloria saw the change in her expression, and finally a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"In any case, if you are not injured this time, everything is fine." She said, "I should have watched you carefully if I knew it earlier——if I didn't notice it for a while, who would know, you, a little insecure shell, would be fine." can cause such dangerous trouble.”

Kolusta smiled embarrassingly, and suddenly opened her eyes wide again, wondering: "That Miss Charles seems to be very powerful...Sister, will I cause you trouble again?"

"It doesn't matter, no matter how much the Charles family loves this daughter, they can only grit their teeth and suffer this time." Gloria leaned on the chair, still very much cared by Kolusta, she narrowed her eyes Squinting his eyes, he calmly explained to her, "About the Holy Light Magic Academy, and even the Nobili Continent... there are many secret news that you have no way of knowing."

Looks like it's story time again.

Kolusta sat up a little more. She was really curious. Avia is also a marquis appointed by the royal family after all. Where did Gloria get the confidence to force Stare, who obviously wanted to calm things down, in public? Lang Gui changed his mind and wanted to give the Charles family a big shame.

And those nobles didn't seem to be dissatisfied—even Satrick, who represented the royal family afterwards, didn't express the slightest opinion on Gloria's behavior. Before trying to send Kolusta back to the bedroom, he even complained. A short but pleasant farewell to the Duke's daughter.

Avia is also Sutrick's future princess! ——Although it is not ruled out that His Royal Highness has the potential to be a scumbag, this kind of attitude is not in line with common sense no matter how you think about it.

"When I drove Avia Charles away from the tea party, I used the name 'Holy Light Academy of Magic'," explained Gloria, "because when she tried to attack you, her fire magic destroyed her. A large part of the natural vegetation of Swan Lake - this matter can be said to have directly violated the core interests of the school board."

Kolusta blinked.

Isn't it just a few trees and grass... After two days, they will naturally grow up.

She didn't know how many trees in Seaside Town she killed when she was a child-many of them were fruit trees and flower trees-and she didn't see any aunt who was so angry that her father punished her for confinement.

Gloria didn't pay attention to her expression, but paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to organize her words, and then she spoke again, trying to use a concise way of expression, from the perspective of other nobles, to give Corus Ta restored the truth of this matter in the eyes of others.
