“Well, it’s not bad. Rudyard may be a bit stupid, but he’s not the kind of guy who will run away when he becomes confident in his feelings.”
Klaus smiled and nodded.
After all, ideas that come to mind through accidental discoveries are effective!
I got Klaus’ approval!
“I am relieved that Your Majesty gave permission.”
“why me?”
“Yes. Actually, I wasn’t sure if this was a plan that would work because I don’t know His Highness Rudeat’s personality very well. But you know His Highness Rudeat well, right?”
So, it’s a plan worth trying as long as you have Klaus’ permission! Now all you have to do is tell the jealous Rudyard a few times that it is jealousy caused by love, and all problems will be solved!
“Well…yeah. I guess so.”
Klaus rolled his eyes and nodded.
It was a natural and deep laugh.
“But I have a question, young lady.”
“Ask me anything. I’m ready!”
Feeling confident that the plan had passed, I proudly said something I couldn’t take responsibility for.
Klaus laughed even harder at those words.
“You said you were going to make Rudiate jealous by having a man approach Lariette Sebes, right?”
“yes.”
“Who will approach Lariette Sebes?”
ah. I didn’t think of that.
But fortunately, my Lopan brain was more active than ever.
“I’m going to try tuning that now.”
“tuning?”
I took a look at Klaus’s thoughts and cautiously opened my mouth.
“I would like your Highness to do it….”
“me?”
Klaus pointed his index finger at himself. But judging by your relaxed expression, I think you’ve already guessed my answer.
“Of course, I thought about other people, too. But I think you are the most suitable person.”
“If you say that, there must be a reason, right?”
“Since His Highness Rudiott suspects Lariette of being the devil, even if some people are nice to Lariette, there is a possibility that that person’s thoughts will go in the wrong direction, as he or she may have been brainwashed by Lariette.”
Of course you will be jealous.
However, it would be even more difficult if he misinterpreted the jealousy in his heart and came to the conclusion that Lariette was a more dangerous person.
“But if the other person is His Highness Klaus, I don’t think he will judge that he is possessed by the devil.”
“Young lady, do you know how soft-hearted I am?”
Hey, I think even Satan would go home crying if he had an argument with you, right?
“…That’s true. Still, considering that His Highness Rudyard entrusted you with investigating demons, doesn’t it mean that he has the ability to avoid being brainwashed by demons? Just like he didn’t die when he was stabbed by a poisonous needle.”
I remembered Klaus calmly poking my hand at Duke Sebes’ party.
At the time, I thought he was a really dangerous and strange person, but I never thought the day would come when I would be able to have a normal conversation like this.
He’s still a strange person, though.
While I was lost in thought for a moment, Klaus’ red eyes were looking at me closely.
It was a gaze that could not be read.
“…Why? Did I say something strange?”
Ugh, why are you looking at me with that anxious expression?
“Well, even if you don’t have that ability, there are other reasons.”
“Any other reasons?”
“As far as I know, the only person whose appearance would make His Highness Ludiat feel threatened is His Highness Klaus.”
okay. This reason was also important! In order to induce jealousy strong enough to drive out the suspicion that it is the devil, the jealous partner must also be of a certain level.
Rudeat is so handsome that anyone within my reach will turn into a squid if they stand next to him!
“Is it really necessary to look good?”
“Really? There’s a limit to how jealous you can be with a squid. Because it’s a squid, right? There’s no insecurity that comes from deep inside. A squid can’t bring out enough jealousy and a sense of crisis! I need a man who shines! That piece of gold. Like!”
“huh?”
I rambled, pointing to the shiny gold model on Klaus’ desk.
Klaus looked at me with a slightly surprised face.
Why is the squid theory so funny?
Do you know how important squid theory is?
If you choose to put it in for no reason, it might ruin the whole plan!
“To put it simply, Your Highness is the most handsome man I know.”
I desperately flattered Klaus to please him.
Of course, I mean it when I say he’s handsome.
Klaus looked at me quietly. Immediately afterwards, his eyes narrowed wildly.
“This is true. It’s hard to refuse when the lady gives you this much gold lacquering.”
“If you find it difficult to refuse, just accept!”
Don’t be anxious and accept it quickly!
Klaus nodded slowly, wondering if he had been looking at her with earnest eyes for some time.
“Good. Actually, I was going to listen to any request. I was curious about the lady’s plans.”
Then why did you hesitate like this, you damn man!
Swallowing the curse in his heart, he closed his eyes and smiled brightly.
You know what they say about cursing with laughter? I have exactly that look.
“He looks curious as to why he stopped.”
oh. Don’t you really have the ability to read this person’s mind?
The light in my laughter, which made my feet go numb, faded slightly.
Klaus was silent for a moment, then smiled brightly and continued.
“Well, I was curious about what the young lady would do in that situation.”
Hey, you have a really bad personality!
“Your Majesty, I really have a question as well. Would you mind if I ask you a question at the risk of being rude? I also promise not to punish you.”
“Do you know that you have a bad personality? I know so don’t worry, young lady.”
lost. I lost.
I smiled brightly again. If I were to express the curse in my heart as the brightness of light, my face would probably shine like the ocean.
As I looked at Klaus smiling brighter at me, I remembered it once more.
Klaus Ertikev is a very ill-tempered man.
After the laughter-filled battle of greed, Klaus and I worked out the details of our plan.
To summarize, the plan was like this.
“Lariette Sebes and I are giving off a very joyful and happy atmosphere!”
First, Lariette and Klaus laugh and chat excitedly in front of Rudiot.
When Rudyette complains about this behavior, he tells her that he is just secretly investigating Lariat.
When Rudeat is paying a lot of attention to Lariette, I quietly recite Rudeat’s emotional state by saying, ‘Actually, there is someone I like, but I’m jealous!’
Perfect, perfect plan!
“You look excited, young lady.”
“It’s not that I’m excited, it’s that the plan flows easily. If I wasn’t sure of His Majesty Rudyard’s feelings, would I have been able to solve it with such a simple plan?”
Rudiott really likes lariat! It’s true just by looking at what she says, and it’s even more evident when you add in the details of her past life!
“I’m so sure about this, but I don’t know why His Highness Rudyard is making such a fuss.”
Of course, since shoveling is an important conflict element in romance novels, it couldn’t have been left out.
Come on, Rudeat! Hurry up and regret your feelings and confess to Lariette!
My body trembled slightly from tension and excitement. I took a deep breath as I held her thighs tightly.
Rudyard will definitely be jealous of this plan!
“Your Highness, you remember the plan, right? Please take care of me!”
I excitedly bowed my head to Klaus.
Now, all I have to do is stay away for a while, observe the situation, and then go see Rudyard!
But for some reason, Klaus’s perception was strange.
“for a moment.”
“yes?”
Klaus, who was supposed to go to Lariette, grabbed my wrist.
No, why are you like this all of a sudden?
Klaus’ dark eyelashes cast a shadow around his eyes.
“We should go together, young lady.”
Was it really necessary for me to come along?
There was only one question floating around in my head right now.
“You like red. Right, sister?”
“Huh, huh? Uh.”
“Really? Lady Elena likes red?”
“I don’t know why you have such a sad face.”
As soon as Klaus and Lariette met, they started talking excitedly. Both were using very natural imperial etiquette.
‘The problem is me, me.’
Although I learned the royal etiquette, I still couldn’t speak for fear of making a mistake.
However, I didn’t know much about Elena Seves or myself to join in on the conversation without any worries.
Rather, Klaus and Lariette were leading the conversation with me caught in the middle.
“Hmm… Then, Lady Elena.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Is there a particular food you like?”
“……what…….”
there is! pork belly! Grilled kimchi!
But you didn’t value the kimchi I worked hard to make.
‘When I think about it again, I feel sad again.’
Kimchi is like my child… … .
Lariette, who was fidgeting when she saw me giving a vague answer, smiled awkwardly.
“As far as I know, she likes sweet pickled fruits.”
Thank you for covering my sister, Lariette. In fact, you are probably the person who knows me best here.
With blurry eyes, I heard things about myself that I didn’t know.
Klaus glanced at me, but I looked away, pretending not to notice.
“……!”
Uh, hey, that’s Rudiott, right?
Rudyard, who was walking towards the hallway where we were located, was looking at us blankly.
To be exact, it’s not us, but Lariette’s bright smiling face.
okay. It was for this reason that the three of us were putting on a show like this!
In reality, Rudeat was so focused on Lariette’s smiling face that he didn’t even notice that I was looking at him.
His expression hardened, and the corners of his mouth, tightly drawn to either side, twisted slightly.
Now look, Rudeat. You must be so jealous, right?
Wouldn’t it be nice if Lariette smiled only at you?
Doesn’t it make your stomach turn when you see someone talking excitedly?
Usually Rudyard would have greeted Klaus with courtesy, but this time he turned around sharply.
“……Keuhum.”
Still, I can’t hide the way I turn my head to steal a glance at Lariette.
If you like it so much, why do you make things complicated by making strange misunderstandings?
‘I can’t take my eyes off you.’
I clicked my tongue lightly and turned my attention back to Lariette and Klaus.
Then suddenly my eyes met Klaus.
“Hmm, hmm.”
No, why are you looking at me, Your Highness?
