“Oh, no! I don’t like it!”
That’s wrong! That’s wrong! Without realizing it, I immediately answered no!
‘No, why are you suddenly asking me if I like to sleep?’
Of course it’s good! Who doesn’t like handsome men?
In the first place, Klaus was nice to me… … .
However, it would be embarrassing if someone came in like this without even turning on the blinker!
Klaus seemed a little glum at my answer.
I threw up my arms and tried to resolve the situation.
“So, does your highness like me? No…”
“Yes, I like it.”
There were no worries and the answer was very simple.
Wait a moment. So you just said that Klaus is right…? … ?
“You like me?”
“Okay. So does it look like I hate you?”
You say you like it so plainly?
Now, let’s revive the memories of the narrative layer that was obsessed with being faithful to the narrative in the past and examine the relationship between me and Klaus.
‘Did I comfort Klaus’ pain from his past?’
First of all, from what I remember, I don’t remember Klaus being impressed by such an event.
‘Then did I shake Klaus’ heart by revealing my pain?’
… … no. If you laughed at me when you saw me in pain, you would laugh at me, but I’m not someone you would want to protect.
‘Or that I was so beautiful that Klaus fell in love with me at first sight?’
However, even though it was love at first sight, the reaction upon first meeting was not a very pleasant one.
‘So did I show some incredible power and make Klaus look at me again?’
… … I would be crazy if I seriously asserted this possibility now.
“Young lady?”
Of course, there is the most steady and standard narrative among them.
The story goes that since we’ve been together, we’ve grown attached to each other.
But I already have a record of being dumped by my childhood friend!
Did you just get dumped by a childhood friend? I’m dumped by the Duke of the North, and I’m dumped by Rudiot.
‘Suddenly thinking about it makes me angry.’
RUDIAT Why did he dump me? Anyway, I’ve been dumped too many times to be confident based solely on the fact that we spent a lot of time together.
“Your face suddenly looks very worried.”
“No. It’s nothing special.”
Klaus frowned slightly and slowly rubbed his chin. He spoke in a slightly lowered voice.
“But the lady doesn’t like me.”
“No, well… I like your highness too.”
My heart went blank. Klaus nodded with a slightly relaxed face.
“Then that’s a relief.”
This is romance… … ?
I touched my forehead.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed a bit different from the standard romantic development I had dreamed and expected.
Judging by our many years of experience with narcosis, Klaus and I had not yet exchanged narrations with each other for us to fall deeply in love.
The biggest reason that Klaus would like me was the assumption that this plot was too much like a romance novel, but Klaus’s reaction and the mutual narrative were lukewarm for a romance novel.
“…Yes. Well, it’s really good that we think positively about each other.”
conclusion. I have a moderate amount of human interest in Klaus.
‘It almost feels like friendship.’
okay. I tried to eat too much of my love life.
With such a handsome man.
If I had to make an excuse, wasn’t the world view too Ropan-like?
Could it be that I misunderstood?
Such a dramatic development… … No, it’s done.
“Is it so dissatisfying that I like a young lady?”
“Ah, Your Highness. Those little things are okay now.”
I guess my expression was a bit sulky. I quickly calmed my expression and smiled brightly.
okay. Having a good friend may be more valuable.
Originally, it was said that the most difficult thing in life was to find true friends.
‘There may be some disagreement as to whether Klaus is a true friend… … .’
Still, from my experience so far, I am not a friend who will hit you in the back.
“Still, I’m so glad I became good friends with Your Highness.”
I crossed Klaus’ arms. Klaus glanced at me with something to say, but in the end he said nothing.
The flower festival dance was held simultaneously in the outdoor garden of the imperial palace and in the capital’s square.
The imperial family and nobles, including Klaus, enjoyed a ball in the outdoor garden of the imperial palace, while commoners came out and enjoyed a ball in the capital square.
That means I also had to head to the outdoor garden full of nobles.
In the short time I was escorted by Klaus to the outdoor garden, I received all the attention I would ever receive in my life.
I suspected that everyone was watching me at the salon, but that wasn’t the case.
Compared to the attention I received at the ball, the interest people showed me at the salon was at the level of common sense.
“majesty.”
“Why do you do that?”
“I feel like everyone is looking at me.”
If I say this, it’s obvious that Klaus will say that it’s the lady’s illusion, or that she’s looking at me and not the lady.
‘Still, I’m so nervous, so it would be better to at least hear those words.’
I raised my head, waiting for the cold words I was expecting.
“Don’t worry about it, just hold my hand, young lady.”
… … Huh?
Klaus’ large hand lightly covered my eyes. My vision suddenly turned dark.
It’s scary like this!
I tightened my grip on Klaus. It was natural that I couldn’t pay attention to the eyes looking at me.
As I took one step at a time in accordance with Klaus’ movements, my hand fell.
“Do you care less now?”
“I was scared! What will I do if I bump into it?”
“I am there. What are you worried about?”
… … okay. You stopped it.
However, once I was forced to turn off my attention, I didn’t worry about the noise of people.
“But it was helpful. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“It’s my first time seeing you, and she’s so beautiful that she’s just noisy. There’s nothing to worry about.”
It’s so shameless to say something like that.
To my friend… … .
“I think the dress your highness sent me suits you well.”
“That’s right. I don’t feel like there’s too much attention.”
huh?
I think Klaus looked displeased for a moment.
But before I could make another decision, Klaus asked a question first.
“Has your dancing improved a lot? It’ll be difficult if you dance like last time.”
“……You’re touching a sick Dell.”
The day before yesterday, I couldn’t follow the folk dance properly even though it had easy movements, and the proper social dance was difficult, so I gave up trying to follow it in the first place.
“Your Majesty will lead you well. I came here trusting only you.”
“You came to believe in me?”
“yes.”
then. I came here believing in you.
When I watched the show, I heard that if someone who dances well takes the lead, they can somehow complete a song beautifully.
Klaus looked at me blankly.
The corners of his mouth slowly twitched upward.
“This is true. I know you don’t mean what you say, but I’m getting on your nerves today.”
“Ah. I’m always 200% sincere. Unlike anyone else who lives anywhere.”
“When did I say I wasn’t serious?”
“I’ll have no comment.”
Klaus’ red eyes stared at me as I responded playfully.
No, why do you keep looking at me so profoundly? Embarrassing people… … .
Klaus slowly raised his joined hands.
“Young lady.”
“yes.”
“I’ve never been like this before, but today I want to live up to your expectations.”
“yes?”
What does this mean all of a sudden? So it’s scary.
When I looked up at Klaus, half in confusion and half in fear, he smiled faintly.
“You want to be good at dancing, what are you saying, Lady?”
“Huh? Ah… well, I had a dream like that once. It seems like things are suddenly okay.”
“No. The lady wants that, but as the prince of the empire, I must at least grant her one wish.”
“No? Yes? It’s okay. I’m so scared when you say that… Your Highness?”
Man, listen to me!
Klaus suddenly seemed to have a passion for winning for some unknown reason.
I was embarrassed and tried to stop Klaus, but the ball started before he could.
The orchestra’s beautiful performance spread throughout the empire through magic.
When I looked up at Klaus, he mouthed a whisper.
‘Just trust me, young lady.’
no. You are the one who embarrasses me the most right now… … .
I tried to stop Klaus once more.
But at that moment, Klaus gently took my hand and made our way to the center of the ball.
… … I don’t know. Do whatever you want.
All eyes around me were focused on Klaus.
There is no need for fame, so all you have to do is endure a moment of shame.
With that mindset, I slowly took the steps as Klaus led.
“……uh?”
What, I dance better than I thought? Was I really good at dancing?
“Don’t you think I’m a good dancer?”
Of course, Klaus was the lead, but when I think back to the time I showed off my terrible talent in folk dance not long ago, I changed people about three times.
Not only did she follow the steps properly, but she continued to dance naturally as if she had learned the steps from birth.
Could it be that my talent bloomed belatedly when I was almost 20 years old?
“Of course.”
“Do you recognize my talent?”
“I placed a magic on the young lady. A magic that allows her to dance automatically.”
… … Oh, that’s right.
There was no way life would turn out so easily.
I took steps with a slightly cold heart.
“Usually in novels, the prince sings the lead so well that it helps him dance well, but he pulls it off with ease thanks to the magic he delivers.”
“It’s a prejudice to think that magic will be easy, young lady. I’ve used up so much of my mana.”
I glanced at the mana gauge above Klaus’ head and kept my mouth shut.
You don’t need to waste half your mana tank to make me dance, right?
“Your Highness, why don’t you do some training to increase your mana?”
Instead of responding to my dissatisfied suggestion, Klaus just grinned.
The hem of my dress fluttered in the sunlight, sparkling and shining.
