19-Party(2)
“I want to go.”
It was a short sentence. However, from those words, I felt a chill that chilled me to the bone.
With a bang, Angelica shut the door.
“Wait, shouldn’t I follow you…?”
Alice was looking up at me with a bewildered expression, but
I don’t even know anymore.

As if announcing the opening of a party, an orchestra consisting of hundreds of people created a sweet melody.
The dishes prepared by the court chefs for 7 days and nights were all comparable to the finest quality.
‘I spent some money.’
Angelica was the fourth princess. Above her were three more princesses. Not to mention the princes.
Still throwing a party this big for Angelica?
Without thinking about it, it was clearly the Emperor’s intention to push her Angelica.
Despite being one of the 4 princesses whose location is ambiguous, the emperor had only one reason to push her.
‘Subjugation of Wakenburg, where Mescaline was secretly working.’
I must have made a feat. From now on, the intention to slowly narrow the position of the lower class was clearly visible.
There is only one reason why the empire has succeeded in revival. This is because the emperor, Mark, boasted of overwhelming strength.
The empire could maintain its current prosperity only when a stronger, at least equal, player emerged.
‘The promising 1st and 2nd princes died in battle…The 3rd prince is a fool. The princesses 1,2,3 were all morons.’
Though the three princes were talented and ended up being fools, the princesses were all trash.
They didn’t know how to do anything, but they were the kind of people who just built up their pride and watched.
I could tell at a glance just by looking at those faces.
“My father…What the hell was he thinking about throwing a party like this to such scumbags…”
“That’s ridiculous, sister.”
“Sisters, isn’t this Angelica ignoring us?”
The princesses were not able to congratulate her sister on her birthday, but they were gathering in a corner and chatting behind their backs.
Seeing that, I started to worry about the future of the empire.
‘Angelica will be crowned queen anyway… But that’s what the royal family is like.’
I wondered if the palace would be robbed just because the emperor went to the forefront if he said anything.
Looking at all the princesses, if it wasn’t for Laplace, there would have been plenty of them even after being wiped out.
“Ha…”
A sigh escaped automatically from his mouth. It wasn’t that he came out to see the princesses. Anyway, even if I didn’t care, they were the ones who would leave on their own.
The culprit, who is making my heart suffocate, was leaning against one side of the wall and staring at me with his arms crossed.
“Angelica.”
“Huh.”
I approached her, calling her name, but Angelica snorted and left her seat. After the last incident, it was obvious that he was avoiding me.
Even when we meet at a restaurant or when we meet in the hallway. She kept ignoring me.
In the end, I didn’t know that I wouldn’t be angry even on the day of the party.
Looking at Angelica’s back, various thoughts began to come to a corner of her mind.
‘Angelica…What does it mean to me?’
At first, he was the main character of the original, so he was simply strong. She was trying to make connections for unconventional reasons.
To be honest, there was no reason why I fell in love at first sight from the first time I saw it.
She put forward the position of being a fiancée, and Angelica was annoyed by her occasional visits to her duchy.
However, the emperor forcibly broke off the engagement. It wouldn’t have been difficult for her to end her engagement if she wanted to, but she didn’t.
I wondered what the significance of this was in a situation where even survival was urgent.
Still, she felt like she had to move on.
“…God.”
“…You.”
Puck, puck, puck.
I felt something hit my back. Should I say dry?
Looking behind her, there was Saint Lucia wearing a pure white dress.
“Are you invited too?”
Puck, puck, puck.
Despite looking down at her Lucia, she continued to stretch her fist.
She grabbed her hand and then her fist stopped.
“What are you complaining about?”
“Because you keep ignoring me.”
There was something small about today’s Lucia looking up at me.
It wasn’t that the overall balance had collapsed, but it felt slightly smaller.
Her If you take a look at her, you will find something different about her.
“Hey, where are you looking now? Are you crazy at last?”
“Where did you leave your shoes?”
“I look at this kind of thing… I don’t notice anything dirty. It doesn’t seem to go well with a dress, so I came with a change of clothes.”
Lucia showed a subtly happy expression.
Then, with her arms behind her back, she came up to me and lifted her on tiptoe.
“You.”
When Lucia’s face was pushed away, her fragrant scent pushed through despite the fact that there was a huge wall of 30cm between me and her face.
“Apologize to Ange.”
“?”
“Apologize to Angelica. I hear you were wrong.”
Wrong?
It’s wrong to buy slaves. I wanted to show Cecil acting rampant as a witch of misfortune because I was unfair.
Would you understand my pain only after seeing the scene where the castle gate ‘Tears of God’, which had withstood hundreds of invasions, was brutally destroyed by Cecil’s Arch Rich?
‘Ehh. If I talk about something that didn’t even happen, I’ll be treated like a madman.’
“I tried to do that too. You keep avoiding me.”
“Are you stupid?”
I was furious at being called an idiot, but I wasn’t an idiot enough to fight with such a little saint at a party.
“What do you mean?”
“If I really hated you, would you show me? If you were like me, you wouldn’t even see me at all. Go right away.”
I heard and saw it. It wasn’t exactly wrong. In fact, Angelica was constantly hovering around me.
“Thank you.”
“Let’s go quickly.”
“I’ll definitely repay you next time.”
“Eh?”
I took Lucia’s hand with her sincere gratitude, but she reacted strangely.
It was nothing to worry about now. The priority was to ease Angelica’s mood even for a moment.

“Angelica.”
After running around for a while. On a secluded terrace, I found Angelica, who was the star of the party and was leaving the party.
As soon as she saw my face, she put on a cold expression and tried to get out of her seat.
But Lucia’s advice was divine and I was invincible.
“Wait.”
I grabbed Angelica’s wrist as she passed by.
“Something.”
It was definitely a sharp tone, but her kind voice could not be hidden.
“That…”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry.”
Angelica covered her mouth with her left hand, not knowing that she was going to say sorry.
“What?”
“He said he was sorry.”
I heard a slightly playful voice.
“What are you sorry about?”
“That…”
“If you have nothing to say, I’ll go.”
Angelica pulled out her wrist with one stroke of her hand, and she soon walked towards her aisle.
“I’m sorry I bought a female slave without a word.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Are you really sorry?”
After repeating such meaningless questions and answers for about five minutes, Angelica stretched out her arm toward me.
“Then give me a hug.”
“Huh?”
“The slave slept with him.”
“It’s not what you think, it’s just that we slept together. Even that guy came in without permission.”
“But, that’s about it. Quickly.”
Like a baby bird asking for food from its mother, she flapped her arms at me.
“Do I have to?”
“Then shall we go?”
Angelica lowered her arms and turned behind her.
She came over to her, then she hugged her.
“What is it?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I’m a little shy to look ahead.”
If Lucia saw my face now, she would probably make fun of her for the rest of her life. I didn’t see her directly, so I wasn’t sure, but it was clear that my face was very red.
Angelica turned her head to see my face and put her hand on top of mine without a word.
“Laplace.”
“Why is that?”
“Are we engaged?”
“…Yes.”
“That’s all right.”
I suddenly felt a chill when I heard a voice saying that I would put up with this for now.
“So, how long do I have to stay like this?”
“Just a little…Just a little more.”
I didn’t realize that only a little over 30 minutes went by.

“Isn’t that the 4th princess?”
“Beside… The Crown Dukes!”
“Be careful with your mouth, what will happen to you.”
“They said the breakup was a non-event.”
Attention was pouring into me, which was clearly different from when I was at the party earlier.
The cause was smiling single-single next to me.
“There are also eyes that see around you, so how about keeping some distance?”
“This is what fiancées do. Is there anything strange about it?”
Since Cecil and Alice were servants, they could not attend the party.
As if she wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity, Angelica looked at me with a bright smile.
As we were walking through the party, two men approached us.
“This is Alfred, the first prince of the Lion Kingdom.”
“I am Judith, the representative of Serendi Republic.”
“This is the 4th princess of the empire, Angelica. Is there anything you don’t like about this party?”
Even if the emperor appropriated the money, the owner of this party was Angelica. All the troubles that happened here were the responsibility of Angelica.
“It’s not your business.”
“I’d love to talk to a lady like you, but I don’t think the time is right today.”
However, they ignored Angelica and started approaching me.
‘Don’t come…’
‘City…’
‘f*ck!’
It was 100% a sign that something strange was about to begin.
