Chapter 102
escape journey (4)
I sent Lee Yu-ra at the dorm and the next day I acted as if nothing was wrong.
The only people who knew that she had come were me and the young child I brought as an escort, so it was possible as long as she kept quiet.
If there’s a problem… … .
That night and day have changed. In the first place, Ivan’s body was a lion sub-in, and due to the nature of his race, he was more active at night than during the day.
Waking up and clearing my mind, I approached the window and saw the moon in my field of vision.
The round moon has one corner cut off as if it were measured with a knife.
Yesterday was a full moon, so it must be tilting.
Not long after I opened my eyes, I immediately finished preparing and headed to the banquet hall.
“His Excellency Count Hrabach is entering!”
After the call of the attendant echoed through the door, I entered the banquet hall.
It was the same place and event, but a lot has changed.
“Marquis, I don’t think I’ve seen you at all. The armor is really nice. It’s the best clothes to hide your goblin-like body.”
“hehehe, I am a knight. A knight wearing armor is said to be a moor. The wonder really suits the iron plate around the boat. Hey, I guess I’ve reached the limit of covering my stomach fat with a cloth.”
Some of the gentlemen, dressed in tuxedos and tailcoats until yesterday, had suddenly changed their profession to knights.
In the case of a person who usually takes care of himself, it was at least okay, but… … .
Are you wearing armor or are you stuck in armor? Some of the people who had a lump of fat on their stomachs made a scene that made them frown.
On the other hand, today I am wearing a blue tailcoat.
“Kuhm… … . hmm!”
“Uh huh… … .”
Among those who rolled their eyes while wearing armor, the one who met my eyes started clearing his throat.
He gave them a look of pity.
these humans… … . will that be
Is it the aftermath of defeating Count Alfonso, the commander of the royal knights and the kingdom’s first sword, in a duel?
The aristocrats, who previously looked at me with a subtle sneer and curiosity, now crawled on their own, lowered their eyes, and were busy avoiding their seats even if I approached them.
‘hey-. Let’s go over there.’
‘What is that?’
‘Isn’t Count Ain coming this way? Get out of the way quickly!’
‘You man, if it was something like that, would you have said it sooner! Let’s go together.’
‘Just looking at it is terrifying… … .’
‘By the way, did you see Prince Fernando today?’
‘No, I haven’t seen it before?’
‘hmm… … , what’s wrong? I have to talk about my family’s business this time.’
As I moved to the middle of the hall, the center where I should be most excited, that is, my son-in-law, became empty.
In addition, King Leopold and Lee Yu-ra came out early today and were walking around.
“hehehe, Kyung is a true servant. blessings of the kingdom. What do you think of Isabel?”
“Nothing… … . I agree with Obama.”
It seems to be being dragged around by the old king. But there was no more worry or shadow on her face.
Instead, there is boredom.
He quietly looked away from them.
It’s meaningless. The banquet will continue, but since she has already decided who to choose, nothing will change no matter how long the banquet continues.
Instead, they decided to change their direction to enjoy a quiet party.
It’s a precious little break. I can’t spend it in vain like this… … .
“ah-! Count Hrabach!”
“… … yes. princess.”
I turned my back and tried to sneak toward the food, but it seems unreasonable to do something secretly with this body theory.
Lee Yoo-ra approached me with a bright color.
As she gets closer, the left corner of her mouth, which has been raised slightly, stands out.
The aristocrat who was talking with the king suddenly flinched when Lee Yoo-ra came to me.
Her lips are twitching and her eyebrows are frowning, but I wish she would come over and take her away when she had the time to make that expression.
Or, like Alfonso, challenged him to a duel.
“Kuk, Your Highness the King. Then, the belief is enough… … .”
“Ah, so be it.”
“thank you. majesty.”
After I opened my eyes for a while, the nobleman, who was trembling all over, threw himself out of the back, forgetting that he was rude to the king.
The appearance is absurd, and laughter comes out.
Alfonso was better than that guy… … .
Alfonso, who was evacuated to a sanatorium, was not cheap, but at least he was a good guy.
Otherwise, after seeing Ivan’s face and physique, he wouldn’t have rushed so boldly.
I had to run away from the pasture like that, so I couldn’t not fall out.
“Look! Count Hrabach! I, the main character of the party, came to visit me like this.”
One notice is that she is a wonderfully good princess. I replied as if nothing happened.
“Of course I was looking for the princess. It is an honor to have you come in person like this.”
“Really, you speak very well. Thanks to someone, I’m awake all night and I’m on a forced march without a sigh of sleep. isn’t it? The best sword.”
It was covered with light makeup, but when I went closer, I could see the subtle shade under her eyes.
I was invited and a high-ranking aristocrat like a king in the provinces, so of course I was free to act, but I guess it wasn’t her.
However, it wasn’t that obvious, so it didn’t hurt the beauty of Lee Yoo-ra, who secretly raised her eyes.
He looked at her as she put her hands on her waist.
The shape is different from yesterday, but it is a white dress of the same color.
After talking about the sword all night and even wielding it herself, the tangled and messed up hair reappeared with a clean appearance, and at first glance I felt that she was amazing.
no matter how
“The best sword. I’m afraid Count Alfonso will immediately turn the sword upside down if he hears it.”
“A person who is so fearful smiles and says such things.”
“I don’t know how you feel about what I said, but I mean it.”
After exchanging glances for a moment, Yura Lee and I raised the corners of our mouths at the same time.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the ceremony hall picked up speed little by little to match the music that was playing.
I looked down at Lee Yoo-ra (Isabel), who was tall for a woman, because she had grown considerably in height by becoming Ivan.
Looking at her deep eyes, I could see that the dark circles under her eyes did not affect her condition while talking to me.
The reason was the reason.
The moment I stared into her eyes, I saw the king approaching from behind her. I could feel the corners of my lips slowly twisting upwards.
Right in front of me, what would I look like in her eyes?
But the thought that came to my mind took precedence. If it’s an event with a winner already decided, wouldn’t it be okay to tease the audience a bit?
If you can accelerate the progress there, it’s killing two birds with one stone.
He reached out and grabbed Lee Yoo-ra’s left hand.
Her hands were soft in white cotton gloves. Without saying a word, he kissed the back of his hand briefly.
‘What the hell are you doing?’ her eyes tell me. I said to her who opened her eyes small and long and looked up at me.
“princess. Could you please dance a song with me?”
Perhaps the corners of my mouth are twisted up playfully.

Fernando, who witnessed Isabel leaving Ivan’s accommodation, went back to his accommodation.
didn’t have to go very far. It was because the place where they were originally located was near Huwon, where the lodgings were gathered.
He opened the door and started drinking.
drank a bottle
Warmth begins to circulate through the body, and a subtle aura begins to spread.
After becoming the heir to the throne, after going from place to place, this is not enough as if my liver has adapted.
I drank the second bottle.
My eyes are blurry.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m drunk or because I can’t sleep. But something hot is hazy in front of my eyes, like looking through the window of a stove in winter.
Grabbing the neck of the third bottle.
took a sip
Tilt your head back and move your neck belt briskly up and down for the last time.
I fell asleep in bed.
After all, there was nothing like drinking to fall asleep without thinking about anything.
The choice was right. I couldn’t remember the scene of dawn that I didn’t want to recall anymore.
Rather like this… … .
“Prince?! Prince?! Prince Fernando! You must wake up!”
I felt my dark vision shake.
Someone dares to shake the crown prince of Aragorn awake… … .
I tried to shout out of my mouth, but my mouth didn’t come out at all, as if something was blocking it.
When the air enters the mouth that has been opened for a while, I feel a cracked mouth.
“Prince Fernando. You are late for the banquet!”
My body reacted instinctively to the words ‘banquet’ and ‘late.’
Contrary to the throbbing inside, the inside of my chest fluttered and my whole body felt cold, and I opened my eyes.
What is reflected in my open eyes is an unfamiliar ceiling.
“ah… … .”
“Is the prince out of his mind?”
After rubbing my soggy eyes for a while, I began to see the face of the person who had shaken me awake.
Seeing the face of an old man transitioning from a gray-haired man to a middle-aged man, Fernando quietly swallowed his boiling anger.
Count Armada was a person who worked with his limbs, so considering the secrets and bonds they shared, this level was within an acceptable range.
“It looks like the banquet has already started, so you should hurry up and get ready.”
“okay… … , I have to prepare.”
Putting on the clothes he had prepared for me, he replied in a cracking voice.
If a voice had a face, his voice now would be like a husk blown away by the wind on dry, cracked soil from a long drought.
He changed his clothes in an awkward position, finished washing his face in a hurry, and then went out the door.
All the nobles had already gone to the banquet hall, and the quiet support caught my eye.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Just then, a leaf caught my eye.
Dangling precariously at the end of a tree branch, it swayed here and there in the wind, and at the end it broke and fell with a ‘knock’.
The leaves fluttering and falling are not like others for some reason.
Things have changed in the opposite way from yesterday.
Ivan, who was late, must have already arrived, and he himself got drunk and slept and finally arrived at the banquet hall.
“Open.”
Talk to the attendant who was standing guard in front of the door, and the door will open.
He didn’t have the ability to smash through a huge door like Ivan.
cut in the inside
As soon as I entered the door that opened with a ‘ki-i-ik’ sound, I immediately started looking for Isabelle.
Regardless of whether I argue or get angry, I have to see her face and talk to her.
Otherwise, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to calm down.
What was seen in Fernando’s eyes as he entered with such a promise.
It was Isabel who held out the back of her hand to Ivan and received a kiss… … .
Isabel’s cheeks turned red, and at the same time Fernando’s eyes reddened.
