I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 108: Brave Noble

Chapter 108: Brave Noble

"Look, they are coming back." said one of the nearby students.

The student looks at the group of students who are in the center of the crowd. According to Angus's knowledge, this group of students is actually in the final years and quite famous for being the highest ranking.

Getting the highest ranking in the final year is quite an achievement since it means the student could be called the strongest or the brightest that is known to the public.

The group that consists of four people in the middle of the crowd is the highest ranking for this final year student.

'It seems they already passed the graduation exam. Well, none of it matters to me anyway.' thought Angus while continuing his walk towards his dorm while ignoring the crowd.

Students in the final year will do a certain quest to pass the graduation exam. This certain quest has many different varieties and difficulties. The harder the difficulty means the better score they will get.

However, it also increases their chance to fail the quest which also automatically fails their examination.

As Angus arrived at the Spring Dorm's entrance, "Come on, Millie. Let's have dinner at my place. Today, my brother is coming back so there will be a party." said the student with brown hair.

"I am sorry, Taul. I will decline your offer." said Millie meekly.

"Yeah, Millie is too busy for you." commented Mia while separating Millie and Taul.

"Tch.. I am not talking to you bitch!!" shouted Taul.

"What did you say, punk?!!" said Mia.

"I say you should get the fuck off from here." said Taul while he makes his lackey surrounding them.

Looking at this, Angus could only sigh inwardly but still keep walking at a normal pace to them.

Being surrounded by Taul's lackey, "W-What are you going to do? We are still inside the academy." said Mia fearfully but still trying to protect Millie

"And what? My father is a Marquis and my older brother is the highest ranking in this academy. You should just get the fuck off and mind your own business." said Taul.

Taul's subordinates begin to move closer to the two girls. Suddenly, they found Angus walking at them like he didn't see them.

After a while, Angus kept walking past them towards the dorm. This makes the atmosphere awkward for both parties. But, The feeling of being ignored rudely by Angus infuriated Taul.

"Oii.. you!! Do you know who I am?" shouted Taul towards Angus.

But, Angus kept walking without stopping at a slow pace.

"Tch.. Get him!!" command Taul towards his lackey.

As the lackey wants to approach Angus, Angus turns back, "Are you sure?" said Angus with a lazy expression.

Looking at this, Taul's subordinate stopped their move. Some of them finally recognize who the student is in front of them.

"Why are you all stopping? Beat him!!" shouted Taul

"B-Boss, he is…" said one of the subordinates.

But at this moment, "Why are you all making this much commotion?" said Jayna.

Looking at this Taul immediately greeted Jayna, "Ahh… Fourth Princess, this is nothing. I just want to invite Millie to my brother's party. You could also come."

"Why should I waste my time attending your useless party? And who do you think you are fooling, you just want to get closer to Millie." said Jayna.

"T-That's not true, Fourth Princess." said Taul meekly.

"Tch.. I don't care about that, now get out of here!!" said Jayna

"Fourth Princess, this is only… " said Taul as he tried to reason with Jayna.

"I said get out from here!!" said Jayna sternly.

At this moment, "There you are, Taul. You sure are hard to find." said a person with brown hair and a face similar to Taul.

"Brother Paul, you are here." said Taul happily.

"Why are you here, Taul?" asked Paul.

"Err.. it is actually…." said Taul.

Hearing this, "Why are you still here? Didn't I say to get out?!!" said Jayna.

"Hold on, Fourth Princess. You can't just casted out someone like that. Can we talk about it first?" said Paul calmly.

"I see, so this is how you want to play, huhh? Did you think I was afraid to beat you." said Jayna as she flared up her mana.

"T-This.. First-grade mana core." commented Taul.

Feeling this, the older brother Paul also looks at Jayna seriously. "Congratulations, Fourth Princess, for forming your core."

"I don't need your compliment. Now, get out of this dorm or I will beat you." said Jayna.

"Hmm… I don't think I can do that. My brother here still has a business with these two ladies so could you be lenient, Fourth Princess?" said Paul while he also exerted his mana.

Looking at the situation getting worse, "F-Fourth Princess, it's okay." said Millie meekly.

"No way, As Royalty, I will be looked down, if I can't even protect my friend." rebuked Jayna as she glaring at Paul.

Looking at this, "Well, since you are adamant to chase us out, How about this? If you could lay an attack on me in five minutes, we will get out of here. However, if you can't, how about you and these two beautiful ladies coming to my party?" said Paul.

Suddenly, everyone hearing someone laugh, "PFFTTT… HaHaHa…"

Everyone looks at Angus who keeps laughing, "Hahaha… I am sorry. But, this is too funny. First, the highest-ranking of the academy, Paul Burgess challenges a fifth-grader like us."

"But, the most laughable thing is you dare to make a bet with a royalty despite only being what.. a son of Marquis. I doubt even your father didn't dare to do such a thing. You are truly brave. Even I didn't dare to do such a thing." said Angus while keeping laughing.

"You there, Mind your own business or..." shouted Taul.

"Or what exactly, Mr. Burgess. What will you do to me and are you sure about that?" said Angus in a lazy expression.

"You…" said Taul.

Before Taul could move, a hand stopped him. "I am sorry for my lateness of greeting, Young master Victory." said Paul glaring at Angus.

"Y-Yeah.. whatever, anyway. You are truly brave men to make a bet with royalty such as the Fourth Princess. I guess I will tell my father about this matter. It seems that Marquish Burgess' family is getting braver to even dare to do such a thing." said Angus nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Paul immediately had a cold sweat. "It's not like that, Young Master Victory. That's just... my blunder. I apologize for that Fourth Princess." said Paul while bowing towards Jayna.

Then, Paul immediately dragged his younger brother away from them. This makes everyone look at Angus weirdly.

Feeling the stare, "What?? Is something wrong with my face? Anyway, Millie, isn't it time to water the garden?" said Angus.

"Ahh.. Yeah.. Mia, Let's go now." said Millie while dragging Mia leaving Angus and Jayna behind.

"Hmph.. I don't need your help. I could beat him anytime." said Jayna shortly.

"Yeah, I know. But, I still didn't like seeing you get played by him." replied Angus.

"W-Who is getting played by him?" said Jayna.

"Then, you should never let him talk. I know you are carefully dealing with Paul as he is the son of Marquis but remember you are also royalty. You have every right to beat the shit out of him and get away with it." said Angus while he walked away.

Following Angus behind, Jayna approaches Angus, "Thank you." Jayna said in low voices while she ran toward the dorm.

Still, Angus manages to hear this and only smiles silently while keep walking towards his usual spot.

"For a silent type guy, you are oddly quite close to Jayna." a voice heard near the tree.

"Well, you could say it is my obligation to help her as noble. Besides, I just don't want you to jump out and make things more complicated, Ian." said Angus.

"Tch… whatever, just tell me. If those scumbags come harassing Millie again." said Ian before leaving Angus.

Angus only shook at Ian's reply before sitting at his usual spot to enjoy the sunset scenery.

'Ahh.. why don't they just take a break and enjoy the scenery like this.' thought Angus inwardly.

Meanwhile, Angus enjoying the sunset scenery, the two brothers who get away from the Spring Dorm walk towards their dorm.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry?" said Taul.

Hearing this, Paul couldn't help release a sigh, "Listen here, Taul. Don't ever disturb them again. They are not something we could touch, okay?"

"B-But... " said Taul

"No, but… Remember this. Just because of your lust towards that girl, you almost doomed our family." said Paul sternly.

"But, isn't he the only son of the duke?" said Taul

"Yeah, he may only be the son of the duke. But, he has every right to do anything in the name to protect royalty. Moreover, Duke Victory is a close friend of our King. He has more prestige than other dukes." explained Paul.

"Just forget about that girl. Now, we need to prepare for my party." said Paul.

"Tch.. all of this is because of that kid." muttered Taul.
