Eavesdropping on a conversation

After leaving the classroom, I went towards another monster lesson, thinking about my theory regarding swordsmen. But it turns out that all swordsmen could possibly have been chosen?

Or the gods can still increase the volume of magicians and decrease it, but I didn't know what factor it depends on, throwing this thought into the depths of my head.

Passing by one of the classrooms, I heard the voice of Nreu and Hei who were talking in loud tones. Coming closer, I wondered what they were arguing about, thanks to my sharpened hearing, I could hear both of them well.

- Have you talked to the Emperor and Empress about this half-elf? - Nreu's displeased voice was heard.

Were they talking about me? I remembered our conversation with Heya, but I refused her, their conversation interested me even more.

- Yes, they are interested in recruiting him, but I tried to recruit him, he refused. - Heya replied in disappointment.

So she was really talking about me with the emperor and the Empress, and that meant I needed to be more careful.

- This upstart refused, thinking that he was being protected, that two former princesses were sleeping with him. But we'll see how he sings if something happens to them. - Nreu said gloatingly.

I imagined how he looked now, clenching his hands into fists and was sure that it would be as he wanted.

- But we will deal with this problem later. The emperor and Empress said that we need to contact this rat Alurik, he should be at the ball that will take place in two months in our capital. - Nreu continued to speak with an angry intonation.

I expected them to notice that the prince was missing and pretend to be looking for him, but I didn't know that I should be at the New Year's ball.

- Alurik? But why is the emperor and the Empress at the New Year's ball? - Heya asked uncomprehendingly and in surprise.

From Hei's voice, I understood that she had just found out that the emperor and Empress were looking for me.

- I don't know, but do you care? I tried to find him through one dark elf, but she said that he was not among the swordsmen. - Nreu said irritably.

That's what I was afraid that Nreu or the emperor and the Empress would want to know something about me.

- He's my brother, just like you, Nreu, the fact that he doesn't have a magical talent doesn't make him useless. - Heya replied viciously

Listening to her answer, I couldn't help but shake my head Heya was still too young to understand how unfriendly the world is to those who don't have magical talent.

- You're stupid if you think he's still your brother, we need to find information about him, ask the professors, I'll ask around, too, and we'll find out. - Nreu said thoughtfully.

I heard his voice approaching me, thinking where should I go when I saw the next class open, I immediately went there.

After looking around the classroom was empty, sighing and listening without hearing anything, I left the classroom without seeing anyone, I went to class, but I was thinking about what to do with this information.

Do I really have to leave the academy before my training ends? Since our names and the seventh prince are similar and we appeared on the same day and both were swordsmen, even a stupid person will see a lot of similarities between us.

I needed to talk to the dean, I remembered that only two people saw me as a prince, this is the professor and the one who issued the form, but the dean assured that both would not tell anything. But if the Cray Empire announces a reward for information, will they keep quiet? I doubt human greed would miss such an opportunity to get gold from the Cray Empire.

And I also thought about what he was saying about Samantha and Cassandra, was he targeting them? I had no desire to conflict with him, but if he does something against them, I will do everything to make him disappear from our world.
