CHAPTER 036

My face hardened like a rock.

I turned my unyielding gaze towards him.

“Even the princess should bring her parents,” he said.

In other words, Pierre wanted my father to come.

No, it was necessary for the Disciplinary Committee.

My mouth involuntarily fell open.

…How on earth am I supposed to bring that person here?!

* * *

Thud. The door to the disciplinary room closed.

I stood in front of the door and let out a long sigh.

‘Hmm, what am I going to do?’

My mind was in turmoil.

‘I never thought it would come to this, even when I was getting into fights.’

All I had thought of was the Disciplinary Committee opening.

I never knew that “Bring your parents!” would come from the top!

If I had known, I would have chosen the second option to follow them and beat them up.

Of course, I don’t know how it would have turned out because of Bayan!

Will I be the only one to survive?!

“Hah, I saw people going to the Disciplinary Committee, but at that time, it wasn’t with parents, so I never even thought of it in my dreams.”

As I mentioned earlier, when I knew the Disciplinary Committee was opening, I didn’t bother summoning my parents.

I was flustered, but since the situation is what it is, let’s think of a solution.

Is there any way?

The corridor was quiet.

Well, everyone had gone home a long time ago. I was the only one left, explaining to Laila.

Fortunately, I finished the remaining explanation safely, and Laila’s reaction wasn’t too bad.

Laila is also one of the typical top students.

Apart from that, she’s as fair as a sword, so she’ll definitely take my side in this situation.

It’s doubtful, but there must be an order from my dad.

‘Ouch, that hurts.’

I must have inadvertently clenched my lips, and they hurt.

Then suddenly, I turned my head.

‘A presence.’

I felt a presence faintly from the moment I opened the door and came out, but I ignored it, thinking it had nothing to do with me.

Now, I can’t ignore it anymore.

I looked at the person who had approached closely and widened my eyes.

“Hello, Princess.”

It was a quiet and soft voice.

I could sense a melody similar to singing.

As I looked at his pure white hair, my eyes blinked.

If Ruga and Ruba continue to grow like this, won’t they end up like this?

“They’ll keep spoiling things for us 10 years from now, 20 years from now.”

The man standing in front of me was the twins’ father.

“What about Ruga and Ruba?”

I asked about the twins’ well-being before greetings.

Didn’t they leave with the twins? Why are they here?

He must have sensed my curiosity because the twins’ father smiled ruefully.

“Madame lord came and took them.”

lord was the twins’ mother. I breathed a small sigh of relief.

“Hurry and get treated. The kids are vulnerable to concussions, especially at this age. The young BeRugas are even more susceptible to the impact on their heads.”

“…”

The man looked slightly surprised and then nodded.

“You seem to know us quite well.”

“A little.”

“…Indeed, our children didn’t lie. You don’t need to worry. When Madame lord took them, she was accompanied by a doctor. Fortunately, it seems there are no significant injuries to their heads or lives.”

That was truly fortunate.

“I also heard that you know about the children’s abilities. Ruba mentioned that your knowledge saved them from danger.”

“Well, I heard about it, but I really didn’t know if it would work.”

“Nevertheless, I didn’t know it was really possible. They say that most whale children can only use their abilities proficiently after the age of eight, so it’s quite impressive.”

“They are exceptional children to have made it into the Alpha Class.”

How these exceptional children got involved in whatever trouble they encountered with me was beyond me.

I felt like there might be tears if I pressed my chest, so I lowered my head and then raised it again.

“First of all, I apologize. I’m sorry.”

The man didn’t seem flustered.

Instead, he stared at me without saying a word.

“It may seem presumptuous, but Princess, may I dare ask what this apology is for?”

He was quite an interesting person.

The reactions of those who encountered the direct descendants of the whale family were generally two-fold: extreme difficulty or fear. Considering my age and appearance, it was unlikely that they would find me intimidating or fearsome. Nevertheless, I remained calm and polite, not overly so.

“Firstly, Ruga and Ruba got involved in my affairs. I feel sorry about this.”

“You didn’t desire it, so there’s pRubably no need to apologize…”

“And apologize on behalf of those stupid whales.”

The man’s eyes widened slightly, as if he had misheard.

“Pardon?”

“Sometimes, no, quite often. Whales tend to think they can ignore everything as long as they have strength. Morality, kindness, ethics, rules, things like that.”

Those kids had no reason to endure anything from Bayan.

I was even more concerned because I knew what Bayan had done to the Be Rugas in the previous encounter.

“It’s regrettable that they’re like those foolish whales. I’ll apologize on their behalf for being caught up in such wickedness. I’m sorry.”

I bowed my head and then raised it.

“Their medical expenses can be charged to me.”

I hesitated for a moment before saying it.

“I can’t pay right now, but I’ll have money soon. I’ll pay it back then.”

“…I’ve heard the story, but sometimes rumors can be underestimated.”

I chuckled softly.

“Why, do I speak too well?”

“No, I was surprised by your thoughtfulness. I always thought that whales and kindness couldn’t coexist, that morality and ethics couldn’t go hand in hand with the path of a whale.”

I glanced briefly down the corridor.

At the same time, I heard the man speak again.

“What needs an apology are the ruthless violence carried out by Lord Bayan and his subordinate whales.”

Clear words. However, it wasn’t something that could be easily said.

After all, this was a family of whales.

“I always liked people who speak their minds like this. I miss the previous encounter.”

People like this speak their minds and show their convictions, even when their necks are on the line. In other words, if you gain their trust, they’ll be loyal to you until the end. Perhaps if I had my eyes on lord this time as well, I would have tempted her.

“What’s your name?”

“Well, I haven’t had a chance… I apologize for not introducing myself to the one who saved our children. I am Ruba BeRuga.”

As soon as I heard the name, I blinked.

Oh, it’s him?

Listening to the name, I initially felt a bit embarrassed.

That’s because the story of the BeRugas being removed by Bayan’s hands in a previous encounter was well-known.

As I gradually searched my memory, I recalled the incident that had been the initial cause.

“BeRuga? Those poor kids really are. Plus, there was one guy who was really smart and even caught the eye of the previous head of the lord family. But how did you know about it, and how did Bayan threaten him first?”

“Threaten?”

“Yes. ‘Don’t talk nonsense, just follow me,’ he said. But why would a genius like him obey? Especially BeRugas, who value freedom, why would they follow such a violent leader? Of course, they refused, and that’s when it all started.”

“That Bayan is indeed quite powerful.”

“That’s right. The previous head of the lord family once mentioned that guy, my brother’s friend. Ruba, that’s his name. He was quite young.”

I scratched my cheek.

Oh, yeah. Now that I think about it, I can pretty much guess what he said to Bayan.

This guy was definitely not the type to get along with Bayan.

“Ruba, right? This is a sudden question, but are you good at fighting?”

“Huh? Uh, well… Can I dare to compare myself to a whale? I am the top warrior within the BeRuga family. I also serve as a bodyguard for Madame.”

“I see.”

Young lad, my subordinates didn’t mention that part.

I briefly glanced at Ruba and then nodded.

“Well, anyway, it was nice to meet you. I hope Ruga and Ruba recover well and unharmed. You can keep the medical expenses…”

“You don’t need to provide the medical expenses. As I mentioned earlier, you’re not at fault in any way. However, I have one question… May I ask?”
