BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35 - Dean's Office
"It\'s good that you are happy, Trisha, but I am nothing but a commoner and just hit a baron\'s daughter. I am basically screwed…." Yuki slumped back into her seat and put her head on the table.
Trisha reached out and held Yuki\'s hand as she said: "Don\'t worry, I will make sure nothing happens. If anyone dares to try to do anything to you because of this, I will use my name for what it\'s worth. I may not be wanted by the Evergreens, but my last name is still Evergreen, and I am a princess. What you did just now was on my behalf. So do not worry."
Yuki hoped this was true, but no matter what happens, she was glad she stood up for Trisha. She didn\'t hesitate to step in to assist a friend. Even if that person is someone she had just become friends with, she would keep her promise and would not let her friends suffer if she is able to do something about it. She would not allow herself to hesitate like she did with Mary. As the other students walked into class, they were all confused as to why Trisha was sitting with the cute boy. And like a wildfire, word spread around the college that the Princess had taken a liking to a cute boy from one of her classes.
About an hour later, the professor of the class entered the room. He stopped and looked towards Trisha and Yuki. "Are you Chisaka Yuki?" The Professor asked. He was an older man in his sixties. His grey air was starting to take over his clean cut short hair.
"I am." Yuki answered.
"I do not know what you did, son, but the Dean is looking for you." The professor knew this student was one of the scholarship students. He could only let out a sigh. Just now, he said he didn\'t know what happened, but he did know. This kid had gone and punched a noble and a girl at that. Whatever the reason was or whether the girl deserved it, doesn\'t matter. The fact is he hit a noble.
"Alright, I will head over now." Yuki knew she couldn\'t avoid it, so she gathered her things and got up. She looked at Trisha and said: "I\'m off."
"Yuki! I will go with you." Trisha hurried and got her things together. She would not let Yuki face this alone.
Yuki nodded and waited for Trisha to gather her stuff. Once Trisha was ready, the two walked out of the room. Seeing the two leave together caused the room to explode in gossip. As for the professor, he looked at the two leave and finally understood what was going on. "Looks like he will be safe for the time being. But she can only protect him within the school."
Inside the Dean\'s office, a fat pudgy baron with most of his hair missing on top of his head sat on a leather sofa with his now bandaged up daughter next to him. "I hope you will deal with this properly, Dean Chen."
"I can only do it based on what happened. Baron Briggs, you must understand one thing. If your daughter is in the wrong, then I will not punish a student just because you asked me to. And do not think your title of Baron will be able to push me to do it. You have to remember that this college is the second best in the world and is sponsored by the Evergreen family. What you say has no bearing here." Dean Chen replied calmly. He could care less what a little Baron threatened. He was always one to listen to both sides of the story before saying what was right and what was wrong.
Baron Brigg\'s face turned red with anger. He hated being talked down to just because he was of the lowest nobles. "Humph! We will see."
"Dean, you wished to see me?" A knock was heard as the door opened. Yuki walked in with Trisha right behind her.
"I did…"Dean Chan went to answer but paused when he saw Trisha as well. "Princess? Why are you here?"
"Why wouldn\'t I be here since this incident involves me. Isn\'t that right, Claudia Briggs?" Trisha\'s eyes narrowed as she looked at Claudia, who quickly lowered her head. The haughty attitude she had before was completely gone. She had never thought that the Princess would actually come and protect the poor boy!
"Princess, what do you mean by this? In what way did my daughter cause you problems? From what I know, this young man here punched my daughter in the face for no reason. I, please ask you to stay out of it." Although he was calling Trisha princess, his tone of voice showed no respect whatsoever. This alone made Yuki want to punch the fat right off the man.
"Can you watch the way you speak when you talk to a member of the royal family? From the way you are speaking, it is as if your rank is higher than a princess\'s? When did you become king?" Yuki\'s words were as sharp as ever. Baron Briggs stared at Yuki for a moment, unsure of how to answer. He only then realized how disrespectful he was being. It was true Trisha was the unwanted princess, but this did not change the fact that she was indeed a princess.
"I apologize." Baron Briggs lowered his head. He knew if the princess decided to make a fuss, then he would definitely get in trouble. "Although I was rude just now, it still doesn\'t change the fact that you punched my daughter. I think I deserve an explanation."
"Explanation? Your daughter didn\'t tell you why I punched her? Well, I can understand. I mean, how could she tell you that she was rude and insulted a member of the royal family all because the Princess was sitting next to me, a poor boy as she called me. Instead of just directing her words towards me, who would have left things alone, she had to go and insult my friend as well. I warned her not to talk shit, but she must have taken some kind of laxative because it just kept spilling from her mouth, which in turn caused me to keep my word and punch her. I am someone who likes to keep their promises. Now let me ask you, Baron Briggs, what wrong have I committed?" Yuki asked. Under her mask her lips curled up into a smile. Thanks to Trisha being here Claudia could not lie about anything.
"This…. Claudia! Did you not tell me that this young man here punched you in the nose because you rejected him!? You called me crying saying that you rejected a boy and ended up being punched for it. Now tell me why is this story far from what was told to me!?" Baron Briggs could not get mad at the young man because things were done to protect the royal family\'s dignity. Even if she was unwanted you could still not slander her to her face! His daughter was really trying to kill him and her entire family!
"Father I..."
*Slap!*
Baron Briggs did not hold back hitting Claudia with his full strength causing her freshly bandaged nose to begin bleeding all over again as the side of her face began to swell up. "Did your mother not teach you right and wrong!?"
"Baron Briggs, You need to hit harder or she won\'t get it. I think she is a little slow…."
