“……Hohoho, that’s why I didn’t want to tell you.”
In the end, I had no choice but to smile and close my eyes in a very awkward way.
‘Ha, really. ‘What did you expect, me?’
How can you still expect romance after being disappointed so many times?
Still, it was fortunate. Because of my past experiences, I was able to feel at least a little embarrassed.
‘It’s better than being openly excited and embarrassed.’
Anyway, I only laid a little groundwork. Now that the situation had come to this, I braced my stomach and shamelessly went out.
“It looks like the maids felt that way. Your Royal Highness seems to be different as expected, hoho.”
If you knew, why did you ask?
I said it back as gracefully as possible. It also gives strength to the eyes. I will no longer be swayed by this man’s handsomeness.
Meanwhile, Klaus was still looking at me with a sneer.
“It could just be a poor servant with an ordinary needle. Don’t you think I’ve caused unnecessary misunderstanding because of you?”
Why are you picking a fight with me?
“Oh my, I definitely heard it was a poisonous sting at first. I was so embarrassed that I almost fell, so maybe I heard something wrong?”
“I thought it was proven that it wasn’t a poisonous sting by sticking it in my body, but I guess I was too embarrassed to almost fall and didn’t have the presence of mind to look at it.”
“Didn’t your highness have some kind of ability that enabled him to detoxify the poison? It’s not a skill that can be achieved through effort, so he must have had some secret power.”
“what?”
Oh, mistake.
Klaus made a dumbfounded voice.
I belatedly changed my mind.
“I read a novel called…… yesterday, and that kind of development would have been possible in that book.”
I was so annoyed that Klaus kept pretending not to notice that I instantly said what was on my mind!
Of course, that didn’t make Klaus any less annoying.
He shrugged, still with that annoyingly handsome face and that annoyingly handsome sneer on his lips.
“It’s such a trivial delusion. So what’s next?”
I thought there would be some kind of reaction, but the other person’s expression was so calm.
shit. Looks like this assumption is also wrong.
That’s it, that’s enough I didn’t know what this novel was, but it was obvious that it was a boring novel that didn’t even know the aesthetics of clichés.
Being embarrassed by Hamel once is enough.
I composed myself and smiled awkwardly.
“That’s just the content of the novel. In any case, Your Majesty would not punish an innocent person for causing self-harm.”
“If you’re going to do that?”
“Then you are a person with a quite unique personality.”
And seeing him tormenting me like this made me think that this guy was really a handsome prince with a bad personality.
Hmm, did I just throw kimchi in the good-natured acupuncturist’s face?
As I was worrying about this handsome man with a bad personality for a moment, he smiled and asked,
“Can I say that to the prince? Is that why you were dumped by the duke?”
No, the rumor that you were dumped by the duke reached the imperial family? And are you asking me that again?
‘Isn’t this guy’s personality really too much?’
It was clear that he had borrowed from his personality to perfect his face. Otherwise, your personality could be this negative.
“Still, I’m very heartbroken because the duke dumped me. That’s why I don’t have much motivation for life. I’ll go before you offend me further, Your Highness.”
Not willing to tolerate any more rudeness with my handsome face, I smiled and turned around.
Perhaps the reason why this backyard was so quiet was because a vicious predator named Klaus was in residence.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Klaus didn’t seem to have any intention of catching me.
I left the backyard with a thud, filled with displeasure.
The face value was well worth seeing! From now on, I will only see your handsome face from a distance!
‘I’m excited to graduate!’
A week after the incident occurred, Rudyard and Klaus came to the Count’s house once again.
And they made the count a surprising offer.
“Moving to the imperial palace?”
“We are not moving completely, but we have decided to stay only until the boundaries between the magic towers are somewhat determined.”
“Pyeong!”
It is a big complaint that White is still in charge of guarding the Eastern and Western Magic Towers with a bias toward one side.
So, to prevent fighting for a while, White’s residence was set up in the imperial palace in the very center of the empire, and since White only followed the Count, it seemed like he was taking the Count as one plus one.
Oh my, grandfathers. You should have at least checked to see if it was a rock or an egg.
“Then who is in charge of this county?”
“I think your wife should take charge of the work for me…”
The Count lowered his head. The Countess glared briefly at the Count and then sighed.
“I can’t help it. Then I will rule the county for a while.”
“I would appreciate it, ma’am!”
“Elena, Lariette. What are you going to do?”
The Countess’s arrow came back to me.
‘What should I do?’
I think it would be a good idea to leave for the capital, but I haven’t even figured out what the original is about yet. Is it okay to just move?
While I was pondering, Lariette answered first.
“I want to visit for a sightseeing trip! Are you going too?”
“Huh? Oh, really?”
Somehow I ended up nodding my head at the power of the lariat… … .
The Countess nodded as if she knew it would happen.
“Then don’t protect the county alone.”
“Ma’am, I’ll be back soon. Please be patient.”
“Do you think the conflict between the magic tower lords will end soon? You’re so lovesick that it’s hard for you to stay in the capital anymore, so don’t worry about it and prepare yourselves. If you come back midway for no reason, I’ll kick your ass.”
“No way, ma’am!”
Geumseul is really nice.
With blurred eyes, I turned away from Count Sebes, who was hugging the countess with tears streaming down his face.
That day, the three people’s journey to the imperial palace was prepared. But I couldn’t shake off my anxiety.
‘I thought this was the end of my involvement with the imperial family, but suddenly I’m going to the imperial palace?’
Isn’t this just encouraging my delusions and making me make mistakes? You need to come to your senses!
I pinched my thighs to stop my mind from wandering. But I couldn’t bear the anxiety.
“Isn’t this natural development a trap?”
I muttered as I boarded the carriage leaving for the imperial palace.
It was that moment. Prince Rudyard, who had come to help us on our imperial journey, paused.
The handsome second prince who always smiles… … However, his expression looks a bit stiff today?
“Lady Elena. May I ask what you just said?”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you say it was a trap?”
“……Yes? Well, I said it…….”
No, why are you interrogating me so horribly?
Aren’t you a friendly guy who smiles? It’s your brother’s job to conduct scary interrogations!
Of course, my liver wasn’t swollen enough to say it out loud, so I just watched it quietly, and Rudyard gave instructions to the soldiers.
“Try to check if there are any traps on the road to the imperial palace.”
Hey, what I said wasn’t your trap?
Are you worrying too much about unnecessary things?
Are you holding an event to build affection points with me because you are the male lead?
‘I feel like Lariette is looking at you with affectionate eyes, so I don’t think that will work… … .’
It was not pleasant at all to stand side by side with Rudyard, who remained silent and looked at the empty seats of the soldiers who had left.
I couldn’t hold on and eventually opened my mouth.
“Well, that’s not what I meant when I said it was a trap.”
“So what did you mean?”
Rudyard looks back with a gentle smile and is handsome!
His nose was high, and his red eyes, brighter than his brother’s, sparkled like jewels.
Her brown hair was also a warm color, so it seemed like she might easily be overlooked by his kindness.
However, isn’t it famous that among the male characters who usually smile, there are many who are dark on the inside?
It may be dangerous to say something that will be criticized here.
I chose words that would not be criticized.
“I was saying I was scared that there might be a trap.”
“Lady Elena.”
Rudyard said to me, still smiling softly.
“It was very impressive that you found the assassin on the day of the banquet.”
no no! it’s not that! The kid is talking about getting in big trouble! Your brother doesn’t trust me at all, so what’s wrong with you?
“That was just a coincidence….”
“My brother also told me to listen to Lady Elena’s opinions.”
what? What kind of bullshit is this?
Did you misunderstand what I said, ‘He seems a little crazy, so take a close look at him’?
“It’s good because you can feel safe if the trap isn’t found, and if it’s found, you can make it safe, so I think either way is okay.”
Rudyard explained it to me in a friendly tone that made it seem like there would be no rebuttal.
‘What is the explanation? ‘If you’re going to put me in the position of a seer, stop!’
The female protagonist who has foresight usually suffers until the end because she is cornered by those who do not believe in her foresight!
no.
If the trap is not discovered, this strange belief will end.
I sighed and closed my mouth again.
And about ten minutes later.
“Lord Ludiat! We defeated the traps and ambushes prepared on the front lines! We captured some of them alive and transported them to the imperial palace!”
Is this a foreshadowing that will be recovered so quickly?
This is the way you came, so why did a trap appear along the way?
It was an unexpected development.
I looked at Rudeat with an expression on my face, wanting an explanation.
Of course he had no intention of giving me an explanation.
“You made a wise decision. I am impressed by your insight.”
Rudeat complimented me and smiled.
It was absurd.
