A few days later, everything was ready.
‘The name is Rudeat Jealousy Explosive Operation!’
A very cliché scenario was adopted for this operation.
While the male lead wants to ask the female lead to the prom, the female lead gives off the impression that she is going to the prom with another man!
Then, this is a scenario where the male lead gets anxious and does something!
I made a deal with Klaus Ertikef, who was going to be that other man, on the condition that he save the world and all, so now I just have to create the right coincidence at the right time!
Do you know how hard it has been for me? Rudyard, you idiot!
I did this to get one word out of your mouth: ‘This heart is love!’
I clenched my fists, remembering my bloody and tearful efforts.
Everything is according to plan.
Rudiott’s location was identified, his route was perfect, and he was successful in summoning Lariat.
Now all we have to do is Rudeat move as planned!
“Sister, what are you worried about?”
Lariette asked me. If I were to be honest, my concern is how to make your relationship successful.
But I didn’t say that.
Instead, as planned, he shook his head with a very troubled expression.
“Lariette, do you know that there is a festival called the Festival of Flowers next month?”
“Festival of Flowers? I think I heard that somewhere….”
Little brother! Rudiate told you! What do you do if you forget something like this?
But it can’t be helped. Originally, I listened as if I was spilling important information and later thought, ‘Oh, I’m sure I heard that information somewhere?’ And the characteristic that made it impossible to know whether one’s memory was good or bad was a novel cliché.
‘… … Well, now I’m not sure if this is a novel or not.’
After White failed to properly reveal the evidence of possession in the novel, I gradually began to suspect that the identity of this world might not be Lopan.
At least, I don’t think any of the roman versions I’ve read were this bad… … .
Let’s get over the little things. I decided to become a faithful explainer for my younger brother.
“On the very last day of the festival, an outdoor dance is held. They say that usually at the Festival of Flowers, they find a partner to go to the dance with in advance.”
“Uh, so?”
“I’ve become a bit closer to His Highness Klaus these days. So….”
“Sister, did you ask His Highness Klaus to be your prom partner?”
Lariette asked with sparkling eyes.
This is also as expected.
Lariette seems to want me and Klaus to do well.
I shook my head exaggeratedly on purpose.
“No. It’s the opposite. Your Highness asked me to be your partner.”
“What, what?”
Lariette’s eyes sparkled.
I feel guilty because I like it so much. It’s all a lie for you, Lariette.
“So? What did you decide to wear for a dress? Wow, it’s really amazing! Did you tell Belle? No, now is not the time….”
“T-just calm down, Lariette. I refused.”
“Whaaaaah?”
Lariette’s voice grew even louder and echoed through the hallway. Without even realizing it, I was looking at my surroundings.
“No, why? Why did you do such a strange thing?”
“No, I was wondering if I really needed to go to the ball with His Highness Klaus…”
“What are you talking about? His Highness Klaus asked us to go, so of course we have to go!”
“His Highness Klaus is a bit handsome… but he’s just handsome. I don’t think he’s good enough to accompany me to the ball as a partner…”
“sister!”
Lariette opened her eyes wide and slapped my arm.
Ah, it hurts, lariat… … . Are your hands ridiculously spicy?
“What are you talking about? Don’t you think you don’t know who His Highness Klaus is?”
I don’t know.
“Don’t look like you don’t know. Is there anyone in the empire who doesn’t know a genius of a century who comes along once in a thousand years or not?”
Oh, the setting is really bad, isn’t it?
Isn’t it a genius of a century that comes along once in a thousand years? It’s suddenly a huge title.
Even if it were a real novel, some people would say that this is a bit harsh… … .
Seeing my shocked expression, Lariette’s momentum became even more fierce.
“He has a reputation for having already reached a distant level in swordsmanship, magic, and academics in his teens.”
“……Uh, so.”
“But he has a handsome face, a nice body, and his status is the first prince of the empire. Where can you find a partner like this?”
“……Well, I was almost treated like the male protagonist of a novel.”
“That’s right! My sister was trying to dump someone who is the level of the male protagonist of a novel!”
Lariette spat out harsh words with an expression of disbelief.
“Sister, isn’t it because such a great opportunity has come up that you’re so nervous that it’s messing with your head?”
It doesn’t contain any profanity, but it’s more heartbreaking than swearing… … .
Lariette took a deep breath and looked flushed again.
“Look. Honestly, where in the Empire is there a man as handsome and fit as His Highness Klaus? Don’t even think about talking about Duke Bruedel!”
“……Hmm, Your Highness Rudiot?”
“Your Majesty Rudeat!”
Lariette, your cheeks are red.
“Well, the drawing style is different there. Anyway, is there anyone other than His Highness Rudyard? There isn’t one.”
“A person is not all about being good-looking, Lariette.”
“Lord Hamel, I don’t think that’s what a sister who dumped for being ugly would say.”
“I got dumped!”
I cried out in anger at the bad memory, but Lariette didn’t even listen to what I said.
“And His Highness Klaus also has abilities.”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? Sister, didn’t you hear what I just said? Are you really out of the empire without my knowledge?”
Ugh, from outside this world… … .
“He defeated all the empire’s generals at the age of only 16 and became the captain of the Imperial First Guards. This was the first time in the history of the empire. He was also the youngest wizard registered at the Magic Tower.”
That’s totally too much information… … Too Much Setting… … .
Lariette sighed and shook her head.
“Sister, I don’t think you know what a great opportunity this really is.”
“No, that’s a good opportunity. I know that.”
“No, you don’t know. There are countless people in the capital right now who say they will have no regrets if they get one look from His Highness Klaus.”
“What is so eye-catching?”
“You’re really saying you don’t know anything. Dancing at the ball with His Majesty Klaus? You’ll get everyone’s attention, right?”
“I don’t really want to attract attention…”
I just want to enjoy moderate wealth as a count’s daughter, covet power, and then end my life as the count’s daughter, an immoral person who achieved nothing.
I can’t speak.
His Highness Rudyard Erntikep.
Please come out quickly. Take him away.
While I was peeking behind Lariette, Lariette loudly shouted out her claim.
“This is an opportunity to fully introduce my sister, who has not been exposed to much due to being tied to Duke Brudel, to the social world.”
“Do you think this is an opportunity?
“Why are you asking the obvious?”
Lariette laughed and started loading the second nag.
Fortunately, just in time, the long-awaited footsteps began to be heard from behind.
Ah, finally, the long-awaited Rudiate!
I cut off the lariat’s nagging and spit out the killer line I had practiced for this moment.
“So Lariette, if you were me, would you go to the ball with His Highness Klaus?”
This part is whispered in pianissimo.
“Of course I will!”
Shout this part with fortissimo!
“You’re going to the ball with His Highness Klaus?”
“Then, with His Highness Klaus….”
Lariette’s words did not come to fruition.
This was because a strong hand grabbed Lariette’s arm.
Rudiot, looking disheveled unlike usual, was looking down at Lariette.
“His Majesty Rudeat.”
Lariette’s eyes widened in surprise, but then slowly faded.
Lariette took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and tried to ask calmly.
“What happened all of a sudden….”
“Lariette Sebes. I’d like to talk to you for a moment.”
But what I’m saying is that Rudeat is not calm.
Although he was still speaking politely with his mouth, looking at his trembling hands, you could see that he was no longer at ease.
The pupils were black and dead, without any light.
‘At this point, don’t you think he’s truly possessed by the devil?’
Lariette also looked at Rudeat with a surprised face, then frowned and lightly pushed Rudeat’s hand away.
“Your Majesty, it hurts if you hold me like this. I’m training so it won’t hurt me, but you shouldn’t hold someone like this.”
“S-sorry, Lariette. I….”
“……Shall we go over there and talk about it?”
My little brother, you’re doing well! stylish! Lariette pointed to a large flower tree at the back of the garden.
Rudyatt nodded with a fascinated face.
“We’ll talk about it later, sister. I think I need to talk to His Highness Rudyard for a moment.”
“No. I think it was resolved while talking with you. Anyway, I’ll see you later. Rest in peace, Your Majesty.”
“Thank you for understanding. Let’s go, Your Majesty.”
Lariette bowed to me and walked into the garden, leading Rudiate, who still seemed a bit lost.
Then, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and said.
“Prom, please reconsider what you said earlier!”
Oh my, my little brother.
Lariette doesn’t seem to know, but the moment Lariette said that, the confusion cleared from Rudeat’s expression.
My will seemed to burn twice as hard.
I looked at the two people walking away and turned my back with satisfaction.
And quickly ran to Klaus’ study.
“That’s it! You two have gone out to the garden now.”
“I was already watching.”
“I heard you’re good at using magic? Isn’t there a magic that makes you hear well?”
“Do you want me to use magic?”
“yes!”
While I was talking to Klaus, my eyes were fixed on the outside of the window.
Outside the window, Rudiate and Lariat were standing under a flower tree with gorgeous light purple and pink flowers.
The tense atmosphere between the two people passed through the window and even to me.
okay! This is it!
It’s worth it to deliberately take this position!
This is the first row of the master bedroom, this is it.
In the meantime, Klaus must have added some magic, and the quiet voices of two people began to enter my ears.
It was Lariette who spoke first.
“Your Highness, do you have nothing to say? If so, I will leave.”
“No, Lariette.”
Rudeat’s soft voice was more powerful than ever.
“I need to be honest with you about something.”
