144. royal wretch (3)
At first, it was so absurd that I wondered how to react to this.
This man who knelt down and bowed his head to me was none other than the third prince of the kingdom of Aeonia.
Well, in terms of status, if not to the extent of the difference between heaven and earth, it is a relationship with a pretty big difference.
If such a person bows his head to me, I have no choice but to be embarrassed, no matter how much I am. Does this make sense! Because that’s the first thing I think about.
It was a memorable moment in many ways.
I heard that it happens that the prince kneels down on me as I live.
After some time had passed and my thoughts had cleared up, I went back to what Aiden had told me.
―The lord of lies, we invite you to see his lofty vessel.
put the words together
The lord of lies, vessel, see you.
It didn’t take me long to realize what the intersection of these words was. Because it was just referring to me. There is nothing to think deeply about.
If you think about it a little, it was natural.
Aiden must be loyal to Argon, and he must be helping Diamon’s resurrection.
Then, serving ‘I’, the sacrifice of Diamon, that is, the vessel through which the lord of lies will descend again, becomes a matter of course.
It didn’t matter who I was right now.
If I become a vessel of Diamon in the future, my ego will coexist with Diamon, albeit weakly.
Aren Blackfire becomes a part of Diamon, and just as I possess this body and the fear of my sister remains, my hatred and resentment also remain intact with Diamon.
If Aiden touches me now, I won’t be able to handle the aftermath.
It’s quite understandable that he’s trying to look good for me at that time.
‘Hmm… … .’
Let’s go.
Is this fun?
Do you think the 3 princes obey me? I wonder if it’s honey.
If you pretend to play along to this guy’s rhythm in moderation, things might go smoothly.
Wouldn’t it be really comfortable if I coaxed him well throughout the 4th act?
At least if I can stop watching this bastard act like an annoyance, I’ll be less stressed out.
“Hmm. okay. Raise your head.”
I said in a slightly hoarse voice. Like a person who knows that he is a vessel for the demons and wants to appear dignified.
“… … thank you.”
It works!
But this kid isn’t all that weird.
Presumably, Aiden is the one who got the middle 2 disease properly. Otherwise, there would be no way to worship the demons.
‘not. Are you sure.’
How severe are the symptoms, stepping into such a dark place and serving the demons as a prince?
Even to me who is still just a ‘bowl’.
He’s a really dark guy. Is this what the end of the second bottle looks like? For some reason, I thought my distant ancestors must have looked like that, and my face burned.
Anyway, his blackening worked as a good thing for me. Let’s use this point to make sure we have a sequence.
“By the way.”
“yep.”
“Who said you could call me whatever you want?”
I tried to look as scary as possible.
‘Ah, heck!’ Aiden lowered his head. If I make a displeased expression with my gloomy face, any decent person has no choice but to be scared.
“Sin, sorry! I mistakenly thought it was a string that sent me a signal on purpose!”
The prince bowed his head and shook his shoulders. Seeing that unsightly appearance, I could barely hold back the corners of my mouth going up.
is this fun?
The desire to play something more wells up. Isn’t treating the prince disrespectfully an opportunity that will never come again in your lifetime?
But you have to be patient.
If you cross the line, things could go wrong.
For now, let’s just focus on the fact that we can control this asshole.
“therefore… … What is the reason for your sudden visit here?”
“Argon has given orders to investigate why Regalug disappeared and, if necessary, cover up the truth.”
“Right.”
Argon guy is also very careful.
It’s creepy to think of planting a spy behind the scenes and proceeding step by step with the plan to revive Diamon.
I was proud of myself for scheming against dangerous guys like demons. This isn’t a game, it’s not real. I realized that I was really risking my life.
“Are there any other instructions?”
“Yes? Oh, I got to watch the Academy Festival. I went as a prince, but to protect Aren-nim’s safety just in case.”
Aiden smiled with a proud face. He seems to think he’s looking good on me. It’s ridiculous.
“is it. It looks like you intend to intervene if something happens.”
Let’s take this opportunity to collect all of Argon’s plans. Because there might be something I’m missing.
“Yes. There are a few that are watching closely.”
“someone.”
“First of all, the new principal is a person named Bemillion and a cadet named Ackerman Breed. And that includes the person around the cadet named Ackerman.”
As expected. Looking at his blacklist, the current flow did not deviate from the game story.
“Most of them are people around Aren, but… … . Are there any problems?”
The guy blinked his eyes. It’s cold down my spine for no reason. I was annoyed at the thought of being watched all the time.
‘That bat seems to be busy running around.’
The bat monster, Delcan, stopped hovering around me from a certain moment on, but after realizing that I had no particular tendency to betray them, it seemed that I had turned to monitoring the people around me.
“none. I’m sticking with them for the purpose of keeping an eye on them.”
Actually, that’s not wrong. Because the purpose of surveillance is right.
“Oh oh! Also, the qualities of the ‘bowl’ seem to be different. I was impressed by Aren-nim’s brilliant brain and thoroughness!”
“Don’t overdo it.”
“… … yep.”
because it hurts my ears
Separately, through a conversation with this guy, I figured out that the flow of the story is very stable.
There were many variables in the story, and there were many adversities, but in the end it seemed to be back to where it was.
‘It’s an unexpected income.’
I really didn’t know that the three princes would appear at Abella’s mansion, but in the end it turned out to be an advantage.
It was fun harassing him, but there seemed to be nothing new to be gained by holding on.
‘Because Cain must be worried too.’
let’s go up
I stood him up and went back to the dining room.
* * *
Cain opened his eyes wide and looked me up and down as he walked in. I thought I was taken and beaten, so I thought I was looking at my body… … ?
Thank you for your concern, but such an unfortunate incident did not happen. Rather, it is obvious that Cain will be horrified when he finds out what happened.
“Kuhm- I’m sorry. Waiting for a great meal. I will come again.”
Aiden, who had been bowing down to me until just now, returned to the dignified three princes. Even so, it is a very funny and ironic situation to slightly glance at me.
Of course I was thrilled with all of this.
How to say, the feeling of being a real ‘mog’ or ‘black man’ was really staggering.
It seemed like he had become the true boss of a political blackout.
Deckard and Cain checked the atmosphere while sweating. He must be eagerly guessing what kind of conversation happened between me and the three princes.
However, the contents of the conversation will be difficult to imagine even if they die and wake up.
Even if I think about it, it’s nonsense.
I suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out and started slicing the steak again.
The fat of the meat hardened slightly and the rest of it cooled down. I feel bad.
Even if it wasn’t, I was a little annoyed, but Aiden really touched my heart.
“Hmm. my rose. Tell us a little about your life at the academy. I believe there are no cheeky guys who flirt with you.”
I think I tried to lighten the mood by leading the conversation as usual… … .

Kik–!
pestilence. Every single comment is like a gem… … ..
In the heat, I scraped the plate open with a knife.
Then, he stared at Iden with cold, sunken eyes. This time it was really a signal.
Deckard and Cain held their breath. He looked at me and made an expression as if he was shouting, ‘That crazy guy!’
To think that the prince, especially the 3 princes who are famous for being a bitch, offended me twice… … .
Even if you are like me, you will be ahead of your worries.
Iden, who was supposed to be in a bad mood, was swallowing his breath at my signal.
“Huh, hmm. Are you Aren? Oh, do you still have something to say to me?”
yes baby let me see
I nodded without speaking. Iden left the restaurant before he even got up.
Anyone who sees it will know that the master-servant relationship is reversed.
I sat cross-legged again in the basement pantry, waiting. After a while, Iden came in, downcast like a criminal.
“… … What did I do wrong?”
I glared at him with narrow eyes.
As long as that guy almost recognized me as Diamon, I had no reason to hold back.
“If you talk nonsense to the daughter of the Abella family one more time, then I will never forgive you.”
“… … Yes?”
“Do I have to say this twice to understand?”
‘Oh no!’ Aiden hurriedly waved his hands in denial. Looking at his expression, he looks really sad.
“It’s not like that… … By any chance, do you have Cain Abella in your heart?”
“… … !”
I was speechless at the sudden introductory question.
It’s not really like that to affirm it, and I’m embarrassed and hesitant.
If we deny that, it is difficult to answer the question of ‘Then why?’
He’s a guy who really annoys me with questions.
How to answer, frowning and contemplating, Iden opened his mouth again.
“Lord, I have committed a mortal sin! Stop because I didn’t know, I touched Aren’s woman… … !”
No, that comment is too blatant. ‘Aren’s woman’… … That’s great. Had Cain listened, her swordfish would have punished her mercilessly.
I neither affirmed nor denied. I was really thankful that he took care of me and misunderstood me now.
“but. Since he is resurrected in a human body, it would be natural for him to have a human woman by his side. You’ll need camouflage. You are a wise choice. Cain Abella is also a woman worthy of keeping by her side.”
What is he saying now.
Iden alone is working hard on his head and talking nonsense.
“Stop the bullsh*t. What pisses me off is that you flirt with me throughout the meal.”
“Ah… … sorry.”
“At least don’t be fooled around the people around me. Does it bother you?”
Let’s be clear on this opportunity. Then this guy won’t stress me out during Act 4.
When Iden saw my twinkling eyes, he trembled and fell flat on the floor.
“Myung, I’ll keep that in mind!”
.
.
.
.
.
After that, the meal was safely finished.
Aiden talked business-likely with Deckard throughout the meal, not even looking in Cain’s direction. He asked Deckard again to guide him to Tarbella Mansion.
He was a good listener.
Cain looked back and forth between me and Iden throughout the meal, puzzled.
* * *
The fireflies showed off their tail light and decorated Abella’s garden beautifully with the moonlight. The sound of bugs and water crashing in the fountain was the ultimate in peace.
I was walking with Cain through this romantic garden.
I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but Cain was exceptionally pretty today. Usually, pretty things are unconditionally acknowledged, but today the atmosphere was strangely different.
It’s hard to explain in words, but it was definitely more attractive.
After talking about that with Iden, I feel embarrassed to see her face.
“What happened just now… … ?”
Cain, who hadn’t said a word to the subject of taking me out for a walk, suddenly spoke up.
The expression on his face showed that he had been contemplating whether or not to ask this question.
It must have worried you a lot. I can feel that feeling, and I feel grateful and sorry.
“It didn’t matter.”
Shouldn’t worry
“Jung, really?”
Cain stopped and asked me. He tilted his head in disbelief. Her shiny, flowing hair cascaded down.
“yes. I really didn’t say much.”
“Oh, no, but His Highness, the 3rd prince, has definitely changed something.”
It was a change in Iden that Cain himself must have felt the most. It was natural to have doubts.
It was an unbelievable change, even when I thought about it. Cain wouldn’t stop asking questions if I didn’t answer properly here.
“just. We had some man-to-man conversations.”
I replied slyly and sat down at the fountain. It became cool thanks to the scattered fine water droplets.
“Man to man?”
Cain sat down next to me and asked again. He didn’t seem to know exactly what that meant.
It’s a word that’s hard to define.
The connotations are diverse, and it is up to interpretation.
“It’s complicated, so to speak. Just get over it.”
I cast my gaze as if fishing somewhere in the large garden. I didn’t want to come out to such a beautiful place and talk more about this crazy guy.
It is healing. You should enjoy and relax in this atmosphere to the fullest. It’s not an opportunity that comes often.
“… … Okay.”
At the same time as Cain’s answer, a fresh smell pierced his nose.
“… … !?”
Looking down at the source of the incense, well… … .
“Cain? hey.”
“why. uncomfortable? Let’s stay like this for a second. I mean, I’m tired.”
Cain quietly borrowed my shoulder. It was a sloppy posture, but somehow it ended up like this.
‘under.’
this is awkward
I can’t do this or that. body freezes
Why today! Did I go through something like this after having such a strange conversation with Aiden?
“I don’t know the details, but thank you. It was given for me.”
“uh… … yes.”
I want to swallow, but if I swallowed in this atmosphere, it seemed that there would be some misunderstanding.
If we were face-to-face, I would have joked and changed the atmosphere, but even that was not allowed to me.
The moment you try to change your posture slightly because your back hurts from the awkward posture,
Cain’s soft hair brushed my chin and—
She turned and started bringing her face closer to me.
… … ?
Lemon scent intensifies.
It comes slowly. Cain’s blue eyes, her flushed cheeks and lips.
――
In the enchanting night garden where the fireflies danced, I swallowed without a sound.
Assertive
