159 – Jealousy
A pretty blatant request.
There was silence between the two for a while, but there was no disruption to the meeting.
Wasn’t it just a simple request?
Siron thought so, and Victor also did not think that Siron ignored him and made such foolish remarks.
“What are you thinking?”
However, Victor wanted to understand his friend’s intentions.
If you simply do not want to comply with the summons, you can go into exile in a neighboring country or even be arrested. Victor thought that Siron had the ability and the right to ask for it.
It is also common for high-ranking officials to use tricks to skip military service and transfer to relatively more comfortable positions. Siron’s request may have been for a similar purpose, but Victor did not think that a friend he had known for a long time would come to see him for such a simple reason.
Siron tilted his head as he looked at Viktor, who could not easily accept.
“What are you thinking?”
“I’m asking if that’s really all it is.”
“Are you leaving it out because you don’t want to listen to it?”
“That can’t be true. It’s not difficult to listen to it because it’s something that can be somewhat flexible, but…”
“It’s not difficult, but whatever.”
In response to the inquiring question, Victor leaned forward a little.
“Is there anything else you want?”
And then he crosses his legs and smiles.
If you ask me why I act like this… I couldn’t give a proper answer. If she answered without thinking, she didn’t like this situation.
Siron Prien. A childhood friend I have known for a long time. But it ends there. Although she was now facing Siron, she was not satisfied with it. Her spine was burning with the desire to make Shiron hers right away.
What should I give? Or what should I do?
No, in order to make Siron Prien his own person, he must not become an object that only gives.
It must be a complementary relationship.
Although he only knew Siron for less than two years, Viktor had drawn up a rough blueprint of what he needed to do to make him his own.
and,
From the day she was crowned crown prince, her goal shifted to the blueprint she had drawn for a long time.
A fleeting moment when thoughts continued.
“…doesn’t exist.”
Siron took a step back due to his unexpectedly aggressive attitude. I’m here to ask for a favor, but the young man in front of me seems to be willing to give it all without hesitation.
“…Keuhum.”
Are you conscious of that boundary? Viktor cleared his throat a few times to distract himself.
“Um. No. Come to think of it, it might be appropriate to end here.”
“What is it? It’s embarrassing for no reason.”
Shiron grumbled and corrected his posture.
“Are you kidding me right now? If you don’t want to listen, cut it out right now. Don’t change your words later.”
“Doesn’t sound like a bad suggestion? To put it simply, I’m not asking you to guarantee autonomous behavior.”
“It’s not just that. I want you to step up in your judgment.”
“Are you afraid I’ll ignore you?”
Viktor responded with a fresh smile to Chiron’s frowning face.
“We’re friends. Did I tell you the other day? There’s a lot I want to do for you.”
“…Don’t say strange things in front of others.”
“Yeah, yeah. Would I be oblivious?”
Victor crossed his arms and calmed his chest. The story is going well, but I keep having impulsive thoughts.
“But can I also ask you a favor?”
I keep wanting to get closer to him, so I try to attack him in various ways.
This is not good. Now he is acting like a man, and this is a secret he will have to keep for the rest of his life, so it would be difficult for him to act suspiciously.
“What.”
Fortunately, Siron’s expression did not change. He looked embarrassed and uncomfortable. His reaction is both pleasing and unwelcoming to Victor.
Victor smiled broadly and shook his head.
“Last time, I took time out of my busy schedule to go see you, but you weren’t at the mansion. I ended up wasting my time.”
“…”
“So, where are you going to leave next time… please include a message. It’s not that difficult at all, right?”
“I guess I’ll have to go now.”
Siron straightened his clothes and stood up. Although he had evaluated himself by not being embarrassed in most situations, he felt so uncomfortable with Viktor coming out that he even thought he had come for no reason.
“I can’t grant your request.”
“Okay. I understand.”
Viktor waved his hand lightly without standing up. Siron just glanced at him and left the building.
“Did I act too cheap?”
Victor stretched and asked the attendant vaguely.
“Or is that guy being expensive for no reason?”
“I think Your Highness did his best.”
One of the attendants bowed his head. Victor turned to face her and sat down.
“After all, I’m not strange, am I?”
“…Is it okay if I use my mouth as I please?”
“I’m different from my father. I don’t scold you for speaking honestly.”
The security guard cleared his throat after being given permission to speak freely.
“I felt as if the author was deliberately pushing you away. To say that it is far from normal… Of course, I think Your Majesty acted more rationally. Didn’t you use a lot of force to gain the other person’s favor? “Even though I heard such a rude request.”
“I don’t think much of it now. He probably doesn’t want to question this or that when dealing with me. I have no choice but to accommodate him.”
“I think so too.”
The attendant bowed his head again.
“To what extent did your father woo Sir Hugo?”
“I heard that Your Majesty has always shown favors beyond His Highness. Recently, the two of you have become less frequent, but even just a few years ago, Your Majesty put Sir Hugo’s work as her top priority and worked hard in government affairs.”
“Are you saying I’m not there yet?”
“It’s presumptuous to say that, but it is true.”
Victor took his eyes off the attendant who only repeated positive answers. She is muddying her words with a vague response to a topic for which she asked for permission in a grandiose manner, and this is not what she wants.
Victor stood up and prepared to move to his seat while being attended to by other attendants.
“There is nothing strange about acting in a more friendly way than between a king and a subject…”
“I think so too.”
“Right.”
The attendant put their mouth together and added a chooimsae. Even though he clearly recognizes Victor as a man.
and,
It is Viktor’s fiancée. Louise was no exception.
Outskirts of the Empire, the residence of the Margrave of Viscont.

After meeting Chiron, Viktor led the entourage to the next meeting.
“Your Highness. You’re late.”
Passing through the huge stone gate and going up the stairs to the terrace. There was a beautiful woman with a neat impression sitting in front of a cooled teacup.
Blonde hair with a slight red tinge. When exposed to sunlight, it appears pink. Victor, facing her outstanding blue eyes, leisurely handed over her pin and sat down.
“I had a prior engagement in a hurry. I hope you can forgive me with a generous heart.”
“I am not a narrow-minded woman. I feel enough sympathy for Your Majesty for not cheating on me, so please don’t say too much.”
Louise smiled brightly and extended her hand towards Victor. A request to be hugged. Sometimes, Victor’s fiancée tried to confirm her affection through physical contact.
Victor hugged Louise with a loving hand. Her flat breasts were met with a touch full of maternal love, and Louise blatantly rubbed her body against Victor’s lower abdomen.
An act of affection that is extremely burdensome to take place in broad daylight.
Victor felt troubled by this, but did not reprimand Louise.
Victor knew very well why she was doing this.
Louise’s manly behavior… had the purpose of checking whether Victor could properly act as a man. Although it was said that political strife made it impossible for him to have children, Victor never had a love affair with Louise.
Over the years, and even in other countries, it was common for people to have an affair and have children before the crown prince was installed, but because Victor stubbornly refused to sleep with Louise, Louise was always dissatisfied.
“majesty.”
Meanwhile, Louise whispered softly.
“Who did you meet before you met me?”
“I came here to meet an old friend. Didn’t I mention it often last time? It’s Siron…”
“…So that’s why it smelled so manly.”
Louise continued speaking, moistening her lips with her tongue.
“I am very jealous of that man named Siron. I even feel jealous of the man who monopolizes Your Majesty’s attention and love.”
“…why.”
“I should have been Prien’s daughter-in-law. It’s because I feel like I’m inadequate as I’m just a young lady with no power.”
“You are not lacking in anything. I can confidently say that you are the most noble woman in the world. Otherwise, I would have backed off my engagement to you a long time ago.”
Victor said with a sigh. Louise took a deep breath.
“In that case, jealousy towards the man who monopolizes Your Majesty’s attention and love becomes a foolish emotion.”
“I emphasize again, Siron is a man.”
“That makes me feel even more miserable.”
Louise held Victor’s face in both hands and her shoulders trembled.
“Isn’t it true that my charm is worse than that of men?”
“Not really. It’s just…”
“I can confidently say that I know more about you and that we have had a long relationship with you. So,”
Louise placed her lips on Victor’s mouth.
“Your Majesty, you just have to do the right thing. Your Majesty, who prioritizes meeting with him over me is a bad thing.”
“Yes. It’s my fault.”
“…If you are aware of this, please act so that I don’t become a pathetic woman who gets jealous of men.”
“I’m sorry.”
Victor raised his tiptoes and comforted his fiancé. Normally he wouldn’t have done it, but Louise’s face looked so sad that Victor couldn’t ignore his pity.
