Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The royal flag flies high.

Vehicles and pedestrians on both sides quickly made way for them.

A magnificent and luxurious carriage slowly drove from the middle of the road and came to a steady stop in front of the Royal Academy gate.

Rogge and Princess Lingsa exchanged a glance and stepped forward to meet them.

Then a woman in a gorgeous dress walked out of the carriage, arm in arm with another woman.

She is the third prince's half-sister and also the second princess of the Holy Emperor Kingdom.

"It's been a long time since I've been back at the Royal Academy after three years."

The second princess gazed at the academy's gate and sighed.

He then looked down and saw Rogge and Princess Lingsa who had come to greet him, and smiled slightly.

"You're the student representatives here to welcome me, right? Don't be so formal. I used to be a student at the Royal Academy too. Doesn't the academy say everyone is equal? ​​Just treat me like a senior."

"Ah...yes."

Princess Lingsa still seemed somewhat flustered.

Rogge, as always, remained indifferent.

"Since you've said that, senior, then we won't stand on ceremony with you."

"...You must be Roger? You're just as interesting as the rumors say."

The second princess gave Rogge a deep look, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She quickly withdrew her gaze, took the arm of the woman beside her affectionately, and walked into the academy on her own, without needing guidance from Roger and Princess Lingsa.

"Professor Lan Su, haven't you always wanted to visit the Royal Academy? I'll show you around."

"..."

Teacher Lan Su remained silent, letting the Second Princess lead her away.

As he passed by Rogge, their eyes met for a fleeting moment.

He nodded almost imperceptibly.

Rogge responded with a look.

Despite concealing certain features and making some minor adjustments to his appearance, Roger still saw through the other party's true identity at a glance.

Shulan.

She is lurking beside the Second Princess, playing the role of her best friend and mentor.

"So what should we do now?"

Princess Lingsa tugged at Rogge's sleeve.

"What else can we do? Even if the Second Princess doesn't intend for us to lead the way, we have to pretend to follow her."

Roger answered casually, and followed behind the second princess with Princess Lingsa.

……

Next, the Second Princess, as if sharing and showing off to her best friend, dragged Shulan around the entire academy aimlessly.

Rogge and Princess Lingsa had no choice but to accompany them.

It's the first day of the school's anniversary celebration, still in the pre-opening phase, but most of the stalls and activities are already open.

Often, when the Second Princess dragged Shulan to participate in activities, Rogge and Princess Lingsa would also join in.

Bang bang bang!

The second princess participated in the shooting event and hit all ten rings, achieving a perfect score.

Bang bang bang!

Not to be outdone, Roger next to him also scored a perfect score.

"Oh?"

The second princess raised her eyebrows.

He casually gave the rewarded doll to Shulan, who was standing next to him.

Rogge then gave his doll to Princess Lingsa.

"Huh? Give it to me? Are you up to something? Ha..."

"Don't give it back to me."

"Who, who said they didn't want it? Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal! Humph!"

Princess Lingsa clung to the doll tightly.

Suddenly, Rogge felt a cold gaze.

He turned his head and met Shulan's calm gaze.

Very calm.

It is devoid of any emotional coloring.

"..."

Roger silently picked up the toy gun beside him.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Before long, under the project boss's despairing gaze, Roger found himself holding two large dolls.

He gave one of them to the Second Princess and the other to Shulan.

As for the one the Second Princess gave to Shulan...

He wanted it.

"One for each person is perfectly reasonable."

Roger nodded seriously.

"hehe."

The second princess burst out laughing.

Later, the group participated in several more projects.

It was always the Second Princess and Rogge vying for power there.

After the competition ends, Roger will participate twice more, distributing the three points of prize he earned equally among everyone, while taking the Second Princess's prize for himself.

Later on, the second princess simply gave her prize to Rogge to avoid having to exchange it.

And so, the four of them became acquainted.

Princess Lingsha was no longer as reserved as before and was able to naturally introduce the arrangements for the school anniversary celebration to the Second Princess.

"Today is the first day, and we're just opening up some basic activities as a warm-up. The major events will officially begin tomorrow."

"There will be club activities tomorrow. Various clubs in the college will hold events to showcase their club themes and achievements to visitors."

"The day after tomorrow will be a stage performance by class, and the audience will vote to choose the best theatrical program."

"The martial arts tournament will be held on the fourth day, which is divided into individual competitions, doubles competitions and team competitions."

"The final day will be the election of Mr. and Ms. of the Royal Academy, marking the end of the entire school anniversary celebration."

"I see. It reminds me of the last school anniversary celebration, haha..."

By the time they had walked around the entire celebration venue, it was already afternoon.

During that time, everyone participated in almost every activity.

Afterwards, I went to Class One, where they were preparing for the stage play rehearsal the day after tomorrow, and the Third Prince was also there directing.

If it weren't for hosting the second princess, Rogge and Princess Lingsa would also have been attending the rehearsal.

When the second princess met the third prince, they exchanged only a lukewarm greeting.

"Royal sister, Rogge and Lingsa are my classmates."

"My foolish brother, if they choose me, it only proves your incompetence."

A fierce spark ignited in their eyes.

After a brief standoff, the second princess ultimately chose to leave due to time constraints.

Rogge and Princess Lingsa followed the Second Princess to the school gate, watching her until she completely disappeared from sight.

"It's finally over."

"Hmph! Wasn't it supposed to end so quickly?"

Princess Lingsha nodded.

Rogge looked at Princess Lingsa with a puzzled expression.

Why do you say that?

"Don't think I didn't notice. You've actually been secretly flirting with Lan Su, the teacher who serves the Second Princess! Humph!"

"Idiot, instead of wasting time thinking here, you should think about what to do with the rest of your time."

"You're the idiot! We still need to go back to class for rehearsal, don't we?"

"You're such a good girl. You can go back to rehearsals now. I'll wander around the main venue for the school anniversary celebration by myself."

"Huh? You...you actually want to slack off all by yourself! I won't let you be so carefree! Humph!"

……

at the same time.

The second princess sat in the carriage, looking at the prizes piled up like two small mountains in front of her.

The liveliness and friendliness she had shown at the academy were gone from her eyes; in their place was calmness and sharpness.

"My two junior classmates are really interesting."

The second princess reached out her fingers to support her face, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Especially that Roger, I heard he plays a very important role in my foolish brother's class, so I specifically asked him to come and receive me this time."

"Now it seems that he does indeed possess indescribable qualities, just as rumored. He is a rare talent, making people want to get their hands on him."

"To be on the safe side, I think it would be better for the princess to keep her distance from him."

Shulan, sitting next to the Second Princess, spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"This student named Roger, who acts as if he doesn't care about anything, is probably someone the Third Prince deliberately sent to get close to the Princess and attract her attention."

"Deliberate? Ah... I see."

The second princess's eyes lit up as she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Yes, when we were playing the shooting game, he suddenly glanced in my direction, and then started taking prizes one after another, making excuses to give them to me, and taking my prizes with him."

"It turns out that everything he did was just to please me and win my favor."

"Hehe, that was really dangerous... Luckily, Teacher Lan Su was there, otherwise I might have been deceived by him."

The second princess looked at Shulan with admiration.

Shulan nodded without changing her expression.

"I was just doing my job."

"But Ms. Lan Su, do you think it's possible for me to win him over? I think his ingratiating smile doesn't seem fake. Maybe he's attracted to my beauty and has feelings for me."

"...Please, Your Highness, act with caution."

"Okay, since you've put it that way, then let's keep our distance from him."

As the second princess spoke, she affectionately took Shulan's arm.

"Thank you, Ms. Lan Su. I've always considered you my most trusted friend."

Everyone else has ulterior motives towards me, but only you will never betray me and always think of me.

"..."
