The tournament ended without incident, and the injured… it was around the time the seriously injured Rudel, Luecke and Eunius were bedridden in the infirmary as per usual Rudel'sseat you could already call his reserved spot, Luecke at the center, and Eunius's bed closest to the corridor

In that infirood at pealing a them Only Rudels were cut to ion's head, so I can't eat it… can I use it as decoration?"

"T-that's a killer rabbit! It's a bunny, so please, just eat it"

"Oh, I see, it's a bunny… then I guess I'll eat the bunny… no, but…"

Wounds all over his body, Rudel refused to eat the fruit slice Izuht over to hisglances, they seee with Izumi that words couldn't describe And outside the room, the individual who had coirl? I-in a sexual way, tight!? You eat thehtbehind her were so Alabach hiratulate Rudel for his class's victory

This ti the royal family and academy… but by no means was this all sunshine and daisies for Rudel

"Pardon my intrusion… the three of you look well… wait, what are you doing!? Stay at east!"

As Albach casually entered the roo them were three patients with serious injuries The first to ht after, Rudel round… his forht, and Luecke didn't want to be the only one left out so he followed suit

As a result, the injured three kneeled before the king His subordinate knights looked at hi While he admired their courtesy to kneel despite injury, the three of them were the future Three Lords…

"Just lie down! You don't have to force yourselves to get on your knees!!!"

(Ah, father cried out… how interessssting!!!)

Fina expressionlessly enjoyed the situation, while the headet the's voice resounded…

Once everyone had calmed down, and the circumstance was one that allowed for conversation, Albach started up

"Congratulations for your victory in this tiined you would be so skilled… and so I want you to officially succeed the Arses House I got the general gist of things from Fina's letter That you saved Fina, and that there was clear ainst you contained in the official reports…"

The king had taken a co Rudel a proper evaluation At that, Izumi rejoiced, and both Luecke and Eunius were relieved But Rudel alone was purely unsatisfied

"No, it is true that I exposed the princess to danger, and it is true that both Luecke and Eunius here were dragged into a mess by me! Just h forhis archduke title would oon When he had finally grown closer to his drea a simple heir wasn't Rudel's intent

"No, no, with the exception of the reports, putting together numerous sources has led me to the conclusion you will rades are in the top ranks of the acadeardless of race and status"

In regards to the king's praise, Rudel- not wanting to inherit any status- thought hard At this rate, it would be difficult to beco ordered hiet more involved with the territory than ever before Once he left the academy, he would instantly have to stick his hands into internal affairs… his father would push busy work onto hih society he had never even experienced before

Rudel didn't have that sort of tioon To Rudel, an archduke title was useless

"… I… have no interest in archduke status"
