NovelEnglishThe next day, a piece of paper was posted on the school bulletin board.
It was a pleasant morning with a fresh breeze. Many students flocked to the bulletin board.
Changing school rules was a lot easier than changing the law. …Still, they worked too fast, probably because of Duke.
They had already had a discussion with the principal as well. Well, I had never seen the principal before. I wondered what kind of person he was.
Next to me, Henry muttered.
“We have created the weirdest name for a school rule in the history of this school.”
We watched the bulletin board from afar. I could see that everyone was making a lot of noise.
The message on the board was, to put it simply, almost exactly what we had decided on yesterday.
Violent fighting between the Alicia Williams and Liz Cather factions was forbidden. Those who break it will have their lips sewn shut and be suspended from school. …It sounded a bit silly, but if it brought peace to the school, so be it.

I was deeply disgusted that they would run away after all this time. They could hurt someone without a care in the world, but when they were in the position of being hurt, they were afraid to take responsibility for it…
“If it was just an argument, they could have it anytime they wanted.”
“…I guess that will be gone for a while.”
“Everyone’s too frightened. They don’t have the guts.”
Henry chuckled at my words.
I shuddered to think what would happen if Alicia were here. She would have been attacked by the militant Liz faction.
…But Alicia and Liz were too strong for anyone to challenge.
“You’re lucky that your sister is so strong.”
When I said this to Henry, he gave me a gentle smile and said, “She’s in trouble because she’s too strong”.
I was certain that I would never be able to unwind if I had a sister like Alicia because Henry is always amazed by her.
“I’d like to surprise Alicia once in a while.”
“Will you be able to do that?”
Henry immediately responded to my words. He looked at me as I continued.
“We cleaned up the impoverished village, got the Gramps out, and now have her name on the school’s rules and regulations. Won’t that be enough of a surprise?”
“A normal person would be surprised by that. But we’re dealing with Alicia. Or rather, I’m sure we’ll be surprised by the new Alicia when she returns.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Henry was right. She would definitely come back as a big shot in Ravaal.
“Maybe she’ll even have a prince from that country fall in love with her.”
“Hey, stop it. That would result in war.”

“Don’t worry, Alicia will come back to Duke.”
“Yeah, she’s my woman.”
Suddenly, a clear, sweet voice came from right behind me. I turned around to see Duke standing right behind me. Next to him, Mel was eating a muffin.
It had a faint banana scent. I thought it would be unhealthy to have only a muffin in the morning, but if it was a banana muffin, it should be fine.
“You scared the heck out of me.”
Henry puts his hand on his chest, trying to calm his heart.
“Good morning. Look, everyone’s in an uproar today.”
I pointed toward the bulletin board. It had been quite some time since Henry and I had arrived at the school, and it still didn’t look like it was going to end.
“Ugh, I don’t want to go there, I’m going to get my muffin crushed.”
“I hope it’ll stop soon.”
Mel and Duke turn their attention to the message board. A few moments later, Duke looked at me.
“Oh, and I have one more piece of good news.”
