“Everyone participating in the Buma Tournament is in the same situation, right? So, it’s only fair to give love lessons to everyone.”

As Irtis spoke like that, his eyes seemed strangely intense, unlike usual.

Prodia was momentarily speechless at his words.

‘Going to the tournament to find my parents, and now suddenly, we’re talking about love?’

But at the same time, Luca also said the same thing.

“Yeah, Nuna. Teach us about love too.”

So, Prodia summarized the situation.

“It seems like everyone is forgetting something important. The next competition is not about love. What we need to prepare for is a choir stage.”

She looked at Leke.

“Lord Duke, let’s talk about the rest later.”

“Understood, Lady.”

With that, Prodia returned to the Marquis’s residence.

As she disappeared, Leke asked Irtis, “Irtis, I thought you would resign from the competition after finding your parents. Could it be that you really want to become a Buma?”

Luca, who was listening to the conversation, was surprised.

Considering how passionately Irtis was looking at Prodia earlier…

‘Normally, in this situation, it’s normal to doubt whether Irtis likes Prodia or not, right…?’

According to Irtis, Duke Leke was a genius swordmaster with excellent instincts.

However, it seemed like he wasn’t very good at reading other people’s emotions.
Feeling somehow uncomfortable, Luca quietly began to observe Leke. Meanwhile, instead of responding to Leke, Irtis asked like this, “So, what’s your reason for participating in the tournament?” Leke hesitated for a moment, but soon, he smoothly smiled. “To become a Buma according to the Duke’s will.” Irtis stared at Leke intently. However, he still couldn’t discern the sincerity behind that smile. So, he also tactfully circled around the topic. “Well, then, I can guess what my answer would be.” “Are you really going to follow the Matapju Elder’s will? Ha, Irtis. I’m doing everything I can to find your parents. Just wait a bit more.” Leke seemed genuinely putting in effort to find Irtis’s parents. However, Irtis couldn’t fathom his true intentions. What does Leke want from him? To return to the way things were before? It’s impossible, and Leke must be aware of it.
Going back to the way things were before?

He must already know that it’s impossible.

After a while, Leke also left his seat.

Upon this, Luca asked with a serious expression, “Hey, Irtis. Is it true that the Duke rescued me? He seems like a dangerous guy.”

Dangerous, such an accurate expression.

Leke is showing interest in Prodia now.

What Leke showed to Prodia earlier wasn’t the gaze of a student attending a class, so he sighed and replied to Luca.

“Well, it’s true, but you’ll be fine as long as you don’t provoke him first.”

“What? Saying that makes it scarier…….”

Taking the frightened Luca with him, Irtis also returned to the mansion.

Thinking that he should pay more attention to Leke from now on.

Training resumed.

The five men gathered in the training room again, wearing tracksuits.

Of course, this time Leke was also present.

He was truly amazed when he first accepted the tracksuit.

How dare they offer such attire to someone like me?

Of course, his true feelings were concealed behind a gentle smile.

But the moment he put on the clothes, he realized.

How innovative this garment was.

‘It would be perfect for the training of the Imperial Knights. Prodia personally made this….’

Leke nodded his head while looking at Prodia.

Certainly, the more you see her, the more attractive she becomes.
However, Prodia was busy explaining the training schedule to everyone.

“It seems that the previous opening performance was really popular. This time, we should showcase not only singing but also dancing together.”

Following that, Prodia handed out the training schedule to everyone.

It was a well-balanced timetable for vocal and dance training.

She especially smiled with satisfaction while looking at Leke.

‘I’m really fortunate that dance is included in this competition. I just recruited Leke, and it would be disappointing if that element is missing.’

And finally, the practice began.

Even if Prodia had memories of her past life, she couldn’t professionally teach vocals and dance.

But fortunately, there was one way to solve this problem.

In her team, there was one person who excelled in singing (S-rank) and another in dancing (S-rank).

“Irtis, could I ask you to do some vocal correction for everyone?”

Irtis gladly nodded.

He might have felt burdened in the past, but now he knew it well.

That he had the singing ability (S-rank) skill.

Leke also accepted Prodia’s request promptly since he had experience teaching participants during the opening ceremony.

Under the guidance of these two men, everyone’s skills noticeably improved.

However, Prodia also knew that they couldn’t continue with just basic training forever.

‘I need to find out the next mission song quickly.’
That’s the only way we can properly prepare for the competition.

The problem was that even Ed didn’t seem to be aware of it.

“It seems like the song still hasn’t been revealed. Now that the competition is right around the corner, I have no idea what the palace is thinking.”

And a few days later, a guest who came to the mansion looking for Prodia.
