100 Target (1)
For the next five days, the Imperial Palace was very peaceful. In fact, it was mostly like that around me.
Unless he was suddenly caught up in the affairs of Kristel or Prince Sedric, the daily routines of eating, sleeping, studying, and confessing were always the same.
The schedule of playing with the new beasts and observing the main character’s class was added, so it felt quite tight.
And today, in front of the Juliet Palace and Romero Palace, after a short time, there was a lot of confusion.
Benjamin and Canael, David and his servants were loading the wagons.
It was mainly picnic baskets and simple props.
The sun was shining and the garden was beautiful, so I was in a good mood.
“Prince, your mother came to the duke’s residence yesterday! After receiving my letter, they thought a lot about it.”
“Is that true?”
Eva, who was accompanied by the Marquis of Duem’s polo match, fluttered the dress, grabbed my arm and waved it.
I opened my eyes wide and looked down at the little princess.
Kristel and Sir Elizabeth also focused their eyes on the child as if they were hearing it for the first time.
A few days ago, the Duke of Blanquere returned to his estate, and Eva left Count Mutte’s residence and was living in her own royal residence.
But I didn’t expect such a reaction to come.
“Is your mother positive about Eva becoming a duke?”
“I don’t know. My mother is a great person as a lord, but… You haven’t talked to me much. I haven’t said goodbye yet.”
Eva’s curly hair drooped.
The duke seemed to be a blunt and basic mother.
It’s true that you don’t have a lot of affection for your children.
“Still, the fact that you came in person means that you are willing to talk. You want to understand the situation.”
At my words, the child’s head went up.
Kristel gently stroked Eva’s hair.
“The prince is right. Don’t worry too much, it’ll be fine.”
“yes!”
He recovered quickly and was happy, just like a young poodle.
After two weeks of cleaning the temple, it looked overlapped with the face waiting for my praise.
I smiled a little and walked towards the garden.
Demi, Leah, and Perry, who had been harassing Sant, ran up to me and clung to me.
“I can’t go with you today. sorry.”
– Knock, Kick
“Your words are so sensitive that you can’t help it. Instead, let’s go to a better place next time.”
He comforted and rubbed the red pandas with a strong expression of sadness.
I wanted to take him as much as possible, but I got the answer that it would be difficult because the horses in the stadium were nervous.
I hugged Demi one last time and got up from my seat.
Sant bowed politely to me.
“Please take good care of the little ones, Priest. You don’t have to give a lot of ether. They are gangs.”
“Yes, prince. I know.”
The young man replied with a simple smile.
Although Sant has a good-natured personality, he is shy and has never met Sir Elizabeth or Eva.
It was difficult even in a crowded place, so I didn’t even watch the polo.
I lightly swept the courage that flew over my shoulder and turned around.
Sir Haynes looked at me and smiled.
“I have many precious friends, Prince.”
“that······. That’s how it happened.”
I raised my eyebrows vaguely.
Hearing his words, I was reminded of Bing’s first day’s resolution, and I felt a little embarrassed.
Apparently, he was arguing loudly that he would not be associated with the main characters and would not interact with the aristocrats.
Today, I said that I was going to watch Polo first, so everyone got together.
“The Dukes of Sarnez in the West, the Counts of Mutte in the North, the Marquis of Duhem in the South, and the Dukes of Blanquere in the East. They are the four noble families of the Empire, which are famous even in the new country.”
What does this mean? I went around collecting pieces of four soul beads, a writer aristocrat…
“The prince is acquainted with all of them, even close to the imperial family. Awesome.”
Sir Haynes was a compliment, but it sounded strangely sarcastic.
Maybe it was because I was booing myself.
It has only been four months since I possessed it. You’ve been involved with the main family from time to time, Jesse Jeong.
“You’re late.”
Then, orange eyes and eyes met. The prince complained briefly.
He did not know when he had been leaning against the carriage like that and holding his form.
No matter what he did, it was a pictorial because he was a handsome main male actor. Aren’t you exhausted?
“Because there are a lot of people and a lot of luggage.”
I approached him and answered.
After seeing Lord Haines moving away, he lowered his voice.
“Did you hear the test results?”
He tapped his chin in disbelief.
The high mages and healing priests have done several experiments with the blood drawn from me, but there has been no poison reaction at all.
It’s a good thing that people are healthy, but it’s strange to see a face that doesn’t like it.
You asked for a checkup, so I got it. What else are you complaining about?
His sharp eyes reached Sir Haynes, who was talking to Kristel.
“Where do you plan to go next?”
the prince asked.
He seemed to have heard me say, ‘Let’s go to a better place next time’. Ears are bright too.
“I do not know. Can I go out again on my own?”
“Look at the destination.”
The knife-like bass returned. I laughed bitterly.
I would never be the first to head to danger.
The reason I said I wanted to see a polo game was because I knew I was going to end up there.
Perhaps even if he had been silent, he would have been dragged along with the existing development in some way.
So this time, I decided to hit the player and do what I could.

Others would say, ‘I try to avoid kissing even once,’ but I was serious.
In a worldview that I knew very little about, it was a great adventure for me to be one step ahead.
“Prince.”
At that moment, Cardinal Bootier’s voice rang in his ears. I turned around in surprise.
The Imperial Palace was quite far from Juliet’s, so her carriage was due to join us at the main gate of the Imperial Palace.
But the cardinal turned around and came to this place.
The prince took her hand and escorted her.
As if the situation seemed serious, Kristel and his party, who had been chatting in one place, also approached this way.
“It is the first thing the prince should know, so I have come to tell you. I just heard the news.”
The cardinal reached out a hand and stroked my cheek.
Calm beige eyes stared at me.
“Princess Elissa of the New Kingdom will come to the Empire. As a cardinal judging Cedric and Kristel for the ordination of paladins. Is that okay?”
······what?
*
The cardinal never left the palace. Because we had to discuss the Crown Princess’s protocol.
I couldn’t remember how I got to the Marquis of Duem in the outskirts of the Yellow Capital.
After getting off the carriage and being guided by the marquis’ servants, I was dazed the whole time as I entered the green arena.
It was thanks to the familiar voice that brought him to his senses.
“Prince Jesse! Thank you for coming here.”
“Hello, Marquis.”
“I heard that the prince recruited a major audience and even prepared a seating chart. I didn’t know you loved Polo so much. François Duheme, I am very moved by the generosity and consideration of the Prince!”
The Marquis noisily waved his arms and bowed down to me.

On his other arm he was wearing a brimmed player’s hat. He was happy to chase away thoughts.
A pink vest, long-tailed coat, white trousers and black boots matched the marquis very well.
He was always dressed too much, but seeing him in a restrained outfit gave me a new feeling.
It was then that I came into view of the stadium.
Horses and players were acclimatizing to the short-mowed lawn.

On the other side, there was a low, white wooden fence, which seemed to make it easier for servants and commoners to come and see it.
From https://noblemtl.com
On this side, there was an auditorium that could seat about 50 people.
It was made of blue manastone and zinc, and the decoration was gorgeous, but it was surprisingly simple in size.
The Marquis escorted us with graceful movements.
“The face of a beautiful woman is dark. Were you uncomfortable on the way?”
“Are you talking to me?”
The lines were so squishy, I almost scolded the Marquis.
When I fell in love, he took a step back and said blatantly.
“I’m glad you didn’t have a bad day. Everyone seems to be looking out for the prince, so I only added a few words. This is it.”
He beckoned to the center chief. Then I looked at the companions standing next to me.
The prince was expressionless, but everyone, including Kristel and Sir Elizabeth, was looking at me.
Hearing the news that the Crown Princess was coming, he seemed to have looked at my complexion all the time.
I’m sorry I didn’t pay attention to my surroundings because I was upset. I said with a bitter smile.
“I am fine. I was just a little surprised. Shall we all sit down?”
“Yes, prince. I will sit down as you told me yesterday!”
Canael replied sternly. Eva quickly took a seat next to Sir Elizabeth.
“I brought Shinguk’s specialty tea. Anyone want to share?”
“Me!”
Kristel raised her hand at Sir Haines’ suggestion.
I was glad that the atmosphere seemed to be getting better.
*
“Prince, look at this. The car lights up!”
“Yeah, it’s pretty.”
“You may drink it now.”
Looking at Canael, Benjamin, and Sir Haynes’ specialty tea sitting on the left, he said to me.
I got a cup of tea from Sir Haines on the right.
Since it is not the food of the royal kitchen, Benjamin checked it with a silverware, tasted it first, and after 30 minutes, I was able to taste it too.
The tea had a sweet and pleasant scent.
Although the color was transparent, it was very mysterious to see blue-white light particles floating in the tea water.
It was like drinking some kind of fairy spring water.
“We make tea by drying the leaves of a plant called ‘Haloris’. It grows only in the forest of the new kingdom, so it is difficult for the people of the Empire to come into contact with it.”
Sir Haines explained softly. I shook my head and held the halo tea.
I liked the sweet and savory taste.
Her heart, which had been swirling around the news of the Crown Princess, seemed to have calmed down a bit.
“As soon as you see it, the Marquis Duhem scores a goal! It’s six to one, folks.”
The voice of Princess Antoinette Duheme, who was the host, was heard.
I raised my head and looked straight ahead.
The audience gracefully applauded, some whistling and cheering.
The marquis on horseback smiled brightly as he spun the mallets and turned them around.
It was cool for some reason.
He didn’t look like a geek who made the portal motion sickness pill that was put under the ear, the magic stone sprinkler, and the crystal version that was ahead of its time.
Kristel, sitting in the back seat, tapped my shoulder and whispered.
“That’s why he looks like an ordinary handsome man, right?”
“I agree.”
“I just got a little excited.”
“yes?”
I looked back at her in surprise. Christel laughed.
“He’s handsome, he’s got a lot of money, he’s athletic. Shall I take you with me?”
“Princess.”
“The age difference is fine. We’re breaking up a little early, huh?”
How did I get you here and have you sit next to the prince!
I couldn’t even make a sound properly and I opened my mouth, and when she saw my expression, she gasped and giggled.
“Now you look like a prince.”
Then he leaned back on the seat.
He looked at the prince sitting next to her, wondering if he had heard it, but he was just concentrating on the game with a sculptural face.
It is never to be said I wet my throat with halo tea.
Since it was said that the revised version would be brought to the audience from episode 5, the two main characters would soon be in close contact.
My heart just fluttered.
*
“8 to 5! The score gap is narrowing.”
“Wow!”
“Ugh.”
Between the voices and cheers of Princess Duem, I bowed my head with a short moan.
A little while ago, my body was in a strange state.
From https://noblemtl.com
Once startled, my heart was beating constantly, and my head felt like it was going to explode and my stomach was pounding.
I rubbed my palms here and there to find the cause, but I had no idea because I was always healthy after possessing it.
Is it stressful? I was thinking about how to respond if I met the Crown Princess…
“Prince, are you okay?”
Benjamin, who first noticed the abnormality, whispered as he leaned on my back.
I moaned for a while and then shook my head.
Beep-
This name rang. It didn’t go well no matter what I thought.
Whatever it was, I had to go back to the Imperial Palace and meet Tae-ui.
I thought of all the foods I ate today, but they were all things that Canael and Benjamin shared their mouths with.
And they’ve been fine so far,
“Ugh.”
I took a deep breath at the pain that felt like an awl pierced my brain.
It was such a sharp sensation that it made me goosebumps from fear.
“I, I have to haunt you.”
“All right. I will prepare.”
Benjamin was calm.
Even though my face and voice were not words, they didn’t waver at all.
He heard a voice saying something to Canael sitting next to him.
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes tightly.
Then, from the right, Sir Haines’ big, cool hand came up and grabbed my shoulder.
“I’ll get you there, Prince.”
It felt like all the strength in my body was going away. I nodded.
