I finally realized it.
I was possessed by the villain of a regress novel where the female protagonist was Lariette, a regressor, and the male protagonist was Rudyard Erntikef.
And then, unexpectedly, the devil’s broochin lost something, and he was on the brink of death!
‘Somehow, there was no main life-threatening incident.’
By losing the brooch, I was free from the threat to my life, and from then on I was able to live freely!
“No, I would rather ask. What did I do in my past life? What happened to His Highness Klaus?”
“Uh, huh? From what I remember, I went missing while trying to stop a demon sent by my sister.”
“Is that the end?”
“Uh, uhh. His Highness Rudyard was very frustrated. I guess he was even sadder because his older brother was missing. But I also know the details…”
The moment Lariette spoke that far, I held her hand tightly and shouted.
“Oh my god, Lariette, I’m so thankful that this happened!”
“Uh, huh? What?”
“If you hadn’t told me, I would have misunderstood His Highness Klaus, but now the misunderstanding has been resolved.”
Yes, that’s right. Klaus Ertikef.
I was scared that he was a dark villain, but at best he was just a weak supporting character who disappeared while being chased by a demon summoned by the original Elena, right?
I was a little embarrassed that they gave such a handsome face to a supporting character, but I decided to move on, thinking that they probably wanted to balance it out since they are brothers with Rudyard.
Rather, now was the time to focus on the fact that everything Klaus said was true.
Klaus believed you despite the demon accusation, right?
“Sister? Your ears are red?”
Ugh, no!
Geumsapa inside me, please die!
“Your Highness, did you sleep well last night?”
I smiled brightly and went into the parlor I had agreed to.
Klaus, who had arrived in the living room one step ahead of me, looked up from his desk.
He looks a little tired, so what’s on that desk is 100% part of Klaus’ work!
Working overtime to show off that he is a busy, sincere, and capable man!
‘I thought he was the laid-back type of guy, but I found out he’s a capable guy who even works overtime.’
“I’m sorry. You seem to be busy with work, but I think I called you without notice.”
I lowered my head and tried to look pitiful as best as I could.
“this way.”
But Klaus didn’t even pay attention to my pitiful behavior.
The short answer was almost embarrassing.
I closed my mouth and walked over to sit down next to Klaus.
Only then did Klaus raise his head.
“You didn’t pay attention to that in the first place, did you? It’s awkward, so just do it as usual, right?”
Isn’t that too straight to the point?
“Do you know that your cheeks are trembling?”
Grinning, an ominous smile crossed Klaus’ lips.
Before I could react, Klaus reached out and lightly poked my cheek.
His tense muscles snapped his fingers.
“Look now. My cheeks are full.”
“W-what are you doing!”
He was startled and slapped the back of Klaus’ hand. Klaus shrugged his shoulders.
“Yes. A young lady should be like this.”
He also has a bad personality.
I focused my eyes and glared at Klaus.
“What’s wrong with me?”
“It suits you much better to stare at you like you are now. I thought you were possessed by an evil spirit earlier.”
“Oh, evil spirit? I’m naturally noble and elegant, right?”
“Yeah. Let’s say so.”
“Oh really!”
After saying that, I pounded my chest. However, he did not dare to shout at the prince.
I once again modified Klaus’ settings in my mental note. As a supporting character with a bad personality.
“Okay then, let’s try origami.”
Contrary to my frustration, Klaus seemed to be in a good mood.
With a cheerful voice, Klaus dragged the colorful, pretty papers between him and me.
“Do you know how to fold origami cranes?”
“I don’t know. Shouldn’t I just fold it?”
Saying that, Klaus showed the paper he had taken out earlier.
The pretty colored paper had gone somewhere, and some twisted piece of trash was stuck between his fingers.
… … Sleep peacefully, Saekji.
“……I’ll tell you how.”
“There are some people who are surprisingly kind, huh?”
“I’m naturally kind.”
Klaus smiled and nodded.
“Take it.”
“thank you.”
I handed the light pink paper on top of the paper stack to Klaus.
And I picked up the red-tinted paper.
“First, I’m going to fold it in half, and the ends need to fit together like this….”
That’s how Klaus and I fell into the world of crane folding.
Klaus often skipped turns.
“Your Highness. You should have raised it and folded it first.”
“What? The guys in front of here all folded like this too.”
“For some reason, the cranes all seem to be having a hard time.”
So naturally, most of the cranes that Klaus folded were somewhat disorganized in shape.
Klaus looked at the broken cranes hanging out in front of him and sighed.
I had to try hard not to laugh while watching that.
Well, for a prince of an empire who is busy learning things like kingship and swordsmanship 365 days a year, children’s games like this are not that important of a problem.
So, it was natural for Klaus to be this clumsy.
Klaus, looking at the ugly cranes he made, sometimes seemed like a wise man who had realized all things in the world.
“Your Highness, are you having a hard time?”
“How on earth did they fold two hundred of these?”
At my question, Klaus frowned and grumbled.
“Then why did you send me to unpack everything?”
“The lady gave permission.”
“I said I could inspect the table?”
“Damn, I did. I should have listened to that then.”
Klaus frowned, placing his chin on his forehead.
Next to the ugly paper cranes hanging out in front of him, another ugly paper crane was placed.
“But you’re more focused than I thought. You look like you’re about to give up.”
“If I give up now, won’t you make me look like I’m someone you can’t use again?”
“yes?”
No, I thought something like that.
I denied it for now.
“How can you think like that?”
“Really? Then I’ll give up.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Isn’t this a completely crazy person?
I glared at Klaus, who threw away the colored paper he had just picked up. Klaus laughed.
“I’m just kidding. It’s okay to take a short break, right?”
“You’re not running away like this, are you?”
“It took a long time today, so please take a look.”
Klaus fully leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs. He looked this way with a suspicious smile.
“Why, why?”
“Didn’t you tell me from the beginning that you had something you wanted to talk to me about?”
“Uhm….”
It certainly was.
It was only then that I realized that now was not the time for me to lazily fold cranes with Klaus Ertikev.
“You did say that.”
Let’s once again summarize Klaus Ertikef.
Red eyes due to severe hair. It looks like a leisurely meal. His personality is unlucky, and his facial expressions are unreadable.
Looking at these external conditions alone, he is a dark character full of mysterious corners.
However, according to the claim of the returnee Lariette, Klaus Ertikev disappeared in his past life due to a demon summoned by me.
Seeing as there was no mention of him being active after that, he seemed to be a suitable supporting role whose game was over quickly without much activity.
Moreover, Klaus is someone who believed in me despite Lariette’s accusations.
Perhaps, if things continue like this, things may turn out to be eye-catching.
‘… … ‘You can dream.’
“Young lady, wrinkles between your eyebrows.”
I looked at Klaus, who was delicately pointing to my forehead, and rubbed my forehead.
Then he quickly came to his senses and answered.
“Okay. What do you want to ask?”
Klaus raised his lips at my question.
His lips fell with a faint smile.
“I was thinking about having dinner together, and I asked if the time was okay.”
what?
at las! Ah, the date request I’ve been waiting for!
How much humiliation have you experienced so far?
Wouldn’t it be different as soon as I decided to go all the way to the North to receive this one date request, and confess to my childhood friend that he liked me?
The bird that came out of the egg that I brought so that only I could see it imprinted on my father and only followed him around. Isn’t it greeted by two old men instead of the handsome Matapju?
Looking back, it was a series of extremely painful days.
‘I’ve held back really well so far, I!’
I’ve read so much Romance just for this moment! I found romance in this world!
I felt like I was going to cry from the overwhelming emotions welling up in my chest.
I never knew asking to have dinner together could be such a happy thing!
“Are you sure you don’t have any free time? In that case….”
“Oh, no! I’m completely free! I’m going to cancel my appointment too!”
“Then that’s good.”
Klaus said so.
I was already so happy that I didn’t know what to do.
“Did you originally want to talk about having dinner together?”
The Geumsapa inside me was now going wild and unable to control it.
It was shaking like crazy, like an inflatable doll I saw in front of a cell phone store before.
Klaus looked at me and smiled brightly.
“Would that make you uncomfortable?”
“No. That can’t be possible!”
“thank god.”
Klaus laughed cheerfully. I carefully looked at Klaus.
Klaus’ eyes were fixed on the paper cranes, and his fingers played with the remaining colorful paper.
‘This, I mean, maybe!’
Does this mean that the time I spent studying with me was so enjoyable that it remained strongly in my mind?
Either that, or he might just be proud that he spent time learning about cranes with me!
Anything was good. I was able to give it about 8,365 points out of 10 just because it was a romantic development.
“I cherish the time I spent studying with you, Your Majesty.”
Since this is what happened, I decided to adopt a scenario that would ignite Klaus’s emotions.
“okay?”
“Yes. When I move my hands diligently while making a wish like this, I am reminded of the time I made a wish with my mother when I was young.”
“What did the young lady wish for?”
look. You’re showing interest now, right?
