“Why should I apologize? This isn’t a poultry farm for raising chicks. Know your place, even if the times have changed, there are lines that must be maintained. How dare a woman enroll in law school. Enough with the thoughtless bluster. If Dike, the goddess of justice, isn’t ridiculous.”
At those words, the sobbing of the little girl grew stronger. Only then did he seem to understand somehow what had happened. Michael had caught his junior students in law school like catching rats.
It was an annual event. Among the freshmen every year, Michael’s nasty hobby was to pick the weakest and torment them until he was tired.
But that was not Christoph’s concern. …It wasn’t.
Christoph took a pocket watch out of his pocket. The maximum time he could be flexible with was three minutes. Any more was dangerous. He never broke his appointment time.
Annoying.
Muttering thus, as he was about to take a step away.
“That’s rather funny.”
Christoph’s steps halted. Slowly, he turned only his eyes to stare at the shorthaired woman. To his surprise, the others seemed to feel the same way, as the air sharply shifted.
“What did you just say? Say it again.”
Michael threatened her with a ferocious face. However, she did not back down a bit. It was a proud stance, so much so that it made one think she might be a manifestation of Dike.
“What’s wrong with a woman enrolling in law school? Did you forget, senior Hindenburg, that Dike, the guardian deity of law you like so much, is a goddess?”
“Ugh.”
“Instead of making a problem out of a woman enrolling in law school, shouldn’t you make a problem out of an unqualified person enrolling? Even if you enrolled through Count Hindenburg’s donation, can you graduate? It would be better if you graduated before me, who enrolled this year.”
“!”
A shocked silence turned the surroundings pale. Christoph looked at her face once again. Only then did he notice that her pale blue eyes were burning hot.
She wasn’t calm. She was furious to the tips of her hair.
Michael, who was dumbfounded by the unexpected words, belatedly blushed. Feeling the crowd’s eyes, Michael made an even more wicked face.
“This now……!”
“Ah, if I may offer some advice.”
Her single word quieted the surroundings. Even Michael shut his mouth. Only she continued to speak calmly.
“It’s childish to torment the person you’re interested in, a behavior not even a sixyearold would do, senior Hindenburg.”
“What, what are you talking about! Who’s interested!”
Michael made an uncharacteristic, wronged face. The spectators once again stirred. Christoph’s eyes, as if nailed, did not leave her.
―For a week now, they have been tenaciously stalking us and tormenting us. Why go to such lengths when you don’t even care? So, who is it, Sophia or me? If I may add, senior, you are not my type.
―Who cares about you!
With a shivering body, Michael took large strides towards her, unable to contain his anger. He raised his hand and swung his thick arm. She closed her eyes tightly.
At that moment.
―!
Thud.
Michael looked at his arm that had stopped midswing. Someone had grabbed his wrist. His face contorted.
―Who…
Before his words could end,
―That’s enough, Michael Hindenburg.
A deep, heavy voice enveloped the surroundings. A voice accustomed to giving orders.
―Ugh, Schneider.
Michael turned around, grinding his teeth. Christoph’s appearance made the onlookers buzz even more.
―There’s no need to add to the rumors. What has spread is enough. So don’t tarnish the honor of Count Hindenburg anymore.
―Tch.
Michael glared at him. Anger and inferiority boiled in his eyes, but in the end, he turned away without a word. He knew he was no match for Christoph.
Watching Michael’s retreating figure, she finally relaxed her shoulders. A sigh of relief escaped her slightly parted lips.
He seemed so brave, did he get scared?
At that moment, when Christoph had an unanswered question in his head, she looked at a younger girl with an incredibly tender expression.
―Are you okay, Sophia?
―I’m fine. Thank you, Marianne.
Marianne.
Christoph gently repeated her name in his mouth. As if answering his call, Marianne looked up.
Her eyes met his, and she bowed her head slightly.
―Thank you.
It seemed her ears were tinged with red. The once cold blue eyes harbored a faint warmth for the first time. It was like a star igniting.
―There’s no good in provoking Michael like that. He’s not just a man who threatens with words. He might really hit a woman.
―If he had, I would have sued him for assault. Think of it as a criminal law practice, okay?
At those words, Christoph’s eyes widened in surprise. Christoph Schneider, of all people, was at a loss for words.
Barely taking his eyes off her, he checked his watch again and clicked his tongue. Suddenly, 5 minutes had passed. He was running out of time for his appointment. He couldn’t delay any longer.
He hurriedly turned away from the two.
“…….”
Awaking from deep thought, Christoph stared at the wall before him. The Marianne who had looked at him with fiery eyes, filled with warmth, was gone.
She had said she didn’t love Christoph, with eyes as calm as when she looked at Michael.
So his heart had turned cold. It felt like the blood was flowing backward. A reality he had never considered before was slowly taking shape and pressing down on him.
“What should I do, Marianne?”
From Christoph’s lips came an unexpectedly weak voice, like someone who really didn’t know what to do, a voice that had lost its way.
For the first time in his life, he felt a sensation called anxiety. Or perhaps, fear.
Divorce.
He envisioned life without Marianne. It would undoubtedly be a very dry life. Humans are adaptable animals, so he would eventually get used to that dull life. Certainly.
It might not take as long as he thought. The life without her had been longer than the life with her, so it wouldn’t be too hard. It was just a return to what it had been before.
This time, he tried to imagine Marianne’s life without confidence. Maybe.
