The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 31: The Ice Princess
“So yes, Chloe can already use magic manipulation techniques and which ones you taught earlier,” said Charles.
”Well at least that is what I can conclude, because I also did not see the fight, fortunately the attack he used was not fatal,” I said.
”True,” says Charles.
”Supervisors said they decided to use two arenas at once to save time, but the result of the match in two arenas at once was to make the focus of the audience divided, he said, they would definitely prefer to watch a game that is interesting and exciting for them. Princess Irene competed after Chloe's turn and the two of them immediately competed side by side in their respective arenas. The effect of Princess Irene who advanced to compete was the audience who switched their focus to princess Irene compared to Chloe. Chloe is shy when it comes to strangers and she doesn't seem to like being the center of attention either, with the audience turning to watch Irene's daughter it could be an advantage for Chloe since she's not the center of attention anymore. Whether this is a coincidence or indeed the order of this match is set,” I thought.|
”Huh,” I said.
”What is Rid ?,” asked Charles.
”Nothing,” I said
I felt like I was being watched by someone, then I looked around the arena to find out.
”Daughter Irene is still downstairs and she's looking the other way so she's not watching me. I also did not find anyone watching me in this arena, judging from the air of his thin existence like he was watching me from another room, I don't know who it was like I had to be careful,” I said.

Princess Irene, who was walking to leave the arena, suddenly stopped in curiosity about what was happening in Chloe's arena.
”Princess Chloe...it looks like she also won yes,” thought Irene while looking at Chloe.
Chloe who became nervous from the cheers and applause looked around her then she looked towards princess Irene as well.
”Irene.... You are indeed strong not even injured in this exam, but not you alone who is a princess who passed this exam,” thought Chloe.
Their eyes looked at each other, then princess Irene turned her face away and continued to leave the arena. Chloe who saw princess Irene start to leave immediately ran up to her.
”Wait, Irene,” says Chloe.
Princess Irene who was summoned by Chloe instantly stopped.
”What's up, Chloe's daughter ? Do you want to discuss about ~Matchmaking-Battle~ again ? If you want to discuss that, then I'm sorry,” said princess Irene who tried to leave again.
”No, wait for Irene, I won't discuss that,” Chloe said.
Princess Irene stopped again.
”Then, what is it ?,” said princess Irene.
“anu, look I want to apologize for what I said after the second test that touched on the matchmaking,” said Chloe.
”On that yes, I don't mind it. It should be me who apologized because maybe my words were a bit rude,” said daughter Irene.
”I don't mind it either, because it starts with my words,” said Chloe.
“Alright, then excuse me first,” said princess Irene who tried to leave.
”What else, princess Chloe ?,” asks princess Irene.
”em, since we both passed the third exam and most likely passed to enter the Academy, how about we start making friends, Irene, I used to offer you to be my friend, right?” Chloe said.
”Friends yes ,” says princess Irene.
”Yes friends, we can do many things together while in the academy until we graduate. Not only in the academy, after graduation we can do things together. How do you want ?,” said Chloe.
”Sorry princess Chloe, but my answer remains the same. I can't” said princess Irene.
”Ke-why , what reason do you still remain the same ?,” said Chloe surprised.
”Iya, I don't want to have friends,” said princess Irene.
”Why are you like that?,” asks Chloe.
”........Princess Chloe, you know that we as the daughter of a top noble will definitely be the center of attention of people and many people who want to get acquainted with us,” said princess Irene.
”Iya it's true,” said Chloe.
”Do you know the nature of the people who approach you ? Are they good ? Or are they evil ?,” asked princess Irene.
”I don't know their properties, after all I usually prefer to avoid them because I'm nervous about talking to strangers, so usually the big brother who goes in my place to chat with them,” says Chloe.
”Yeah you're shy anyway. Then let me tell you a little bit of my story,” said princess Irene.
”When I was a child, my father used to hold banquets at Snow Palace and my father invited nobles who were in the San Lucia area. It was traditional for nobles to bring their sons and daughters to the banquet to introduce their sons and daughters to other nobles and hope that their sons and daughters could make friends with the sons and the other noble princess. When I was introduced as the daughter of a Duke, many of the nobles approached me and invited me to meet, not to forget that they also told their children to get acquainted with me,” says princess Irene.
”......,” Chloe just silently listened.
”Because of that introduction I became familiar with their children. Every banquet my father held, I was always looking forward to it because if there was a banquet, they would definitely come and play with me. As the banquet began, when the adult nobles chatted with each other. We also chatted about something, joked and played a game. Doing all that is not the same as having fun with friends ?,” asked princess Irene.
”.....,” Chloe did not answer and just listened.
”Until one time, I realized the reason they approached me. While gathering and playing at the banquet, suddenly one of my friends was called by his father to chat for a while. He immediately went to his father. We continued the game without him. After a while, he did not return. I was a little worried and decided to go find my friend. I went to the banquet hall but did not find it, I searched around the Snow Palace until I found it in the courtyard. I intend to call her, but I haven't had time to call, I heard their conversation,” said daughter Irene.
”How son, are you familiar with the Duke's daughter ? You should stay familiar with him or if necessary you should seize his heart as well. Duke Louis does not discriminate people based on his caste, if you can win his heart, you can be his partner later and our family can be part of the Duke San Lucia family. Our family can be the supreme ruler in San Lucia, if our family becomes the supreme ruler of this region, you can get anything” said the noble's father who was imitated by princess Irene.
”Good , dad. I will do all your orders. I also want to be able to get anything,” said the noble boy who was impersonated by princess Irene.
”Good, that's just my son,” said that noble who was impersonated by princess Irene.
”When I heard that, I was surprised. There I thought that the noble son was only using me for the benefit of his family. I immediately turned around and decided to go back to where my other friends were. I think at least I still have other friends who do not think the same as him. When I got to where my friends were playing, they weren't there. I started looking for them again. When I found one of them, I listened again to the conversation I had just heard. It turned out that he was also the same as the son of the previous noble. I started looking for something else again, and everything I met stayed the same. They were talking to their parents and their conversations all remained the same. They approached me and befriended me to use me as a Duke's daughter for their own family's benefit. Since then, every meal I have never attended. My father asked me why I was no longer present at the banquet. I explained my reasons to my father. Instead of being angry, my father apologized for introducing me to the nobles and making me take advantage of them. My father came to understand my reasons and he allowed me not to attend if there was another banquet anywhere. At first every banquet I decided not to come, but over time I felt bad for my father. One day when there was a banquet held, I decided to come. Those who had talked to me first started to approach me again and ask why I had never been there. But I ignored them and began to turn my nature into a cold impression on others. Not only at the banquet, but at the banquets that I attended next I still remain cold. That's why until now I was given the nickname as The Ice Princess,” said Irene.
”......Irene,” said Chloe responded
