The ball had concluded, and a few days later, a group of noble young men gathered at a certain shop they had reserved, and began to drink heavily.
The shop was empty due to the reservation, and the three of them drank as if to vent their pent-up frustrations.
"Ah... because of that idiot... we couldn't properly enjoy the live Cecilia."
"True, that idiot... his days as a prince are over."
"Indeed. That was just unacceptable."
The three of them, who attended the same school, had actually been the prince's entourage within the school.
Sometimes they supported the prince, sometimes they flattered him, and sometimes they subtly pointed out his shortcomings, all to support him.
Despite his arrogance, the prince had no issues with his studies. However, while he excelled academically, he failed to demonstrate his abilities in the noble society.
But they had given up on him after the recent ball.
Drinking the foaming alcohol in one go, the three of them sighed deeply.
"Ah... all our efforts have been in vain..."
"It was in vain... I did it reluctantly because my father asked me to, but..."
"That prince is just impossible."
To begin with, Hubert lacked foresight. His stubbornness often led to problems within the school, and the three of them had to suppress these issues before they became public.
It was always their job to run around and clean up after him.
"What are we going to do now?"
"We are that idiot's aides..."
"Ah... we should have monitored him more closely. We managed to keep Evona away from him within the school..."
"Who would have thought that during the spring break... things would turn out like this..."
Sighing deeply, they knew they would be blamed for not stopping the prince, and the thought gave them a headache.
Their future was as good as over.
At that moment, the door, which was supposed to be closed for their reservation, opened, and a man walked towards them.
"Huh?"
"Huh..."
"Oh..."
"Hey, drinking to forget your troubles, huh?"
The man who appeared was Six, the second prince of the country.
Surprised by Six's sudden appearance, the three of them were momentarily frozen, but they quickly regained their composure and bowed.
"We greet His Highness, Prince Six."
As they worked their minds to understand why Six was there, the answer came quickly from his own mouth.
"I know you are all excellent. The prince managed to avoid major issues in the school because of your excellence."
Hearing this, they felt a cold sweat trickle down their backs.
Six continued.
"This incident happened during the spring break, when you were unaware. That's why I'm giving you a choice."
Six smiled and said,
"Are you willing to cut ties with that idiot and join me?"
The answer came quickly from the three of them.
I hope you enjoyed reading this! ( *´艸`)
