“That’s right. Shall I call the pink sister too? OK. Herit, you can come and play.”
Standing near the pond, Kristel smiled slightly at Prince Jesse.
I don’t think so, but he really looked like a ‘Prince’ from a fairy tale.
For example, he loved children and animals as he did just before, and so was his tragic background.
Even so, I thought it was strange sometimes to see a friendly face to everyone.
How can you smile with a face like that?
“Sir Sarnez, we are looking for Sir Titega.”
– Ouch
“Yes, I will.”
Kristel answered lightly and approached the prince.
The warm etheric warmth touched me more deeply.
Even if it wasn’t, the good feeling was more relaxed.
This reminded her of herself half a year ago, when she was curious about him.
Even at that time, the prince was kind and generous to everyone.
Instead of finding it strange that he didn’t act or speak like a nobleman, he accepted it as he was.
Although surprised, he did not reject it, embarrassed but not hated.
So it was unavoidable.
I came to like him as a human being, and to think of him as a friend.
“Let’s see, will my sister freeze the water? Do you like tea ice?”
-cadet!
The harp seal cried vigorously. Kristel reached out to one side of the pond.
‘Awesome!’ The white ice froze with a short, thick noise.
The water attribute Shinsoo got excited and dived into the water, then quickly climbed the ice sheet.
After finishing dance practice, Eva, who accompanied her, grabbed the hem of her dress and did not know what to do.
I wanted to help, but I was confused as to whether or not it would work.
“I am adapting well. Fortunately, the.”
“yes. The prince takes care of you with all his heart.”
“Thanks to everyone for their support. It is said that this place used to be a place where gold carp were raised. But His Majesty Aurelie…”
The prince spoke in a pleasant voice.
It was a story about how many people are working hard for Tite, and how grateful they are.
Her purple eyes gleamed beautifully in the autumn sunlight.
Kristel has met many people since possessing it, but she has never found a look like that anywhere.
The bishops said it would be difficult to see them again in this life.
“Demi and Leia are very fond of Tite. Perry is still a little shy, but…”
But even if the prince’s iris had had a common color, Kristel would not have been able to take his eyes off him.
Jesse Penetian was the brightest and most lively person here.
It was still unknown whether this was simply due to psychological factors or if there was something special about him.
However, what I learned after spending six months here was that the more saturated and vivid the character, the more ‘important’ she played.
At first, I was dizzy because I didn’t know the standards.
I even thought that I was just possessed by a body suffering from eye disease.
Christel de Sarnez was a girl who had been sick for three years, so it was a plausible guess.
Her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Sarnez, had ordinary sharpness, while the prince of an enemy country, who had nothing to do with her, looked more radiant than anyone else.
That was puzzling but interesting.
But when I think of one variable differently, everything fits.
“So, if it’s not rude… I wonder what kind of person Sir Sarnez is with at the masquerade.”
“ah.”
Kristel suddenly came out of her thoughts.
The topic suddenly changed to the ball of the Dukes of Blanquere.
The prince was looking at him with great anticipation.
Just in time, Benjamin brought cushions for the two of them.
‘thank you.’ Men and women greeted at the same time.
The attendants carried towels and walked around peacefully.
Sitting on a rug lavishly decorated with silk and embroidery, Kristel tilted her head.
“I do not know. Actually, I was going to ask the prince for a partner…”
“I’m going to be Princess Eva’s partner.”
He answered in an overly dignified tone.
Eva, who had just approached, listened to their conversation.
The prince came down to the floor as if it was natural, and the little princess wiggled her lips and sat down on the cushion.
He seemed quite happy and cute to be treated like a younger brother.
“Yeah, that’s why I thought I’d try to speak to the teacher.”
Kristel said as he watched the Haines play with Tite in the water.
Through the case of Johann Haynes, she realized that her ‘eye disease’ was a criterion of judgment.
The air attribute paladin boasted decent clarity from the first meeting, but it was not as clear as it is now.
“Yes?”
He certainly ‘cleared’ after the day he tried to assassinate the prince.
It sounds crazy, but I had to explain it that way.
It was difficult to adequately express a person who had a deep sense of presence and added vitality.
Kristel stuck her tail.
“But the teacher said that he was going to escort the prince that day. I heard you don’t promote dancing.”
Then, the prince seemed uneasy and relieved.
Kristel’s gaze turned to Canael, who was driving the prince’s car.
“It is said that Yerang goes with Sir Elizabeth.”
“Yes, Ganael is also making his social debut at this ball. A partner must be a fiancee.”
The prince spoke firmly while the boy’s attendant opened his mouth in surprise.
It was somewhat of a defensive attitude.
“It would be. Now, I am debating whether I should speak to Benjamin.”
At Christel’s words, the prince gave a puzzled expression.
She looked at the large sofa next to the pool, looking fresh.
To be precise, the man sitting in the shade there scanning the documents.
Cedric Lister. A man with an impressive middle name.
He, along with the prince, was the brightest and most distinctly visible in this place.
The sense of being alive was maximized when the two of them were next to each other.
After a fierce battle with the prince, I felt a strange catharsis.
However, he was the complete opposite of the Prince in every way.
His fire-attributed ether always scratched him gently, causing him to express his power in a negative direction.
It was not pleasant for the prince’s feelings to be conveyed from time to time.
In particular, when I was emitting ‘fear’ like the past few days, I was confused about what to do.
What’s so scary?
“·················ogue.”
In an instant, his orange gaze fell out of the paper and turned towards him.
After sleeping for about an hour in the library, his condition improved somewhat.
He still has a slight fever and his complexion is not as usual, but with the help of the prince, he seemed to be completely healed by Monday.
the problem is······.
“What.”
Kristel mumbled so softly that only she could hear it.
It was because the prince immediately wrinkled his eyebrows when their eyes met.
Hey, is it my fault that you’re scared? If you don’t want others to detect it, you can hide it yourself.
A cub who is over 190 degrees tall is terrifying.
“Look at this, Sir Sarnez. Street food that David bought outside the Imperial Palace. Are you a regular?”
“David-nim has been spending more these days!”
“Did you get a bonus?”
The prince, Canael, and Eva chatted in turn.
The prince’s head of servants was humbly distributing snacks gifts.
After the poison test was completed, it was said that it was safe to eat.
The prince handed Kristel a fork and an envelope with food. A gentle smile was a bonus.
“It smells sweet. I think you will like it.”
As he said, the freshly-baked and hot Merguez sausage had a subtle spice smell.
Parmesan truffle fries served with it were also served.
The prince was busy even while she said ‘I’ll eat well’.
I asked Herit twice if he was good at eating spicy food, and he wiped the wet Dokshim with a towel and even took Eva’s napkin.
He opened his own food only when Canael had half eaten a sausage.
He was willing to do what the servants usually do.
“It’s very tasty. Thank you, David.”
“Half the price was paid by the prince. have a good meal.”
··············It was not awkward to assume that he was the ‘main character’ of this place.
Rather, thinking that way, it all fit together like a well-crafted puzzle.
It was easy to judge based on the prince rather than himself.
The more influential he was or the more he played a major role by his side, the clearer and fresher he seemed to Christel.
I still didn’t know where this was.
I was often confused about what to do and how to live.
Still, one thing was clear.
If the ‘hero’ of this world is a prince, and if someone is telling him about it in an indirect way…
“My hands don’t stop. I think I could eat two bags.”
“lie. You’re going to have three bags.”
“ha ha ha.”
I wanted to protect you. With him, everything he likes.
“·················ogue.”
The sun’s eyes met again and again from beyond the pond.
Christel stared at the prince as if he would freeze him this time.
It was a brief snowball fight that took place without the prince and his friends noticing.
I didn’t like it being so weak.
If it was a paladin who would protect her only priest, he had to be stronger than he is now.
*
As it was a Sunday, the schedule was quite tight.
It was thanks to the fact that after I was awarded the marquise, the imperial court began to accept a limited number of foreign guests into the Juliet Palace.
Eva, who came to me in the morning, trotted all over the place like her master.
The little princess was terrified when she saw ‘The Sixth’ sitting on the mantle piece in the drawing room or was in pain by smashing her toe on the furniture, but she managed to capture her expression like the next little princess.
Kristel, who came with me, encouraged me by saying, ‘I’m all grown up’.
“A masquerade ball is different from a masquerade ball. In particular, the masquerade of the Dukes of Blanquere is famous for being colorful and luxurious. It is a rare event where access is strictly restricted except for invited guests and partners. It hasn’t been held since the previous Duke’s death, but it will be different this year.”
Eva declared standing in the middle of the drawing room.
He kept his neck straight and his hands on his waist.
“And the flower of the masquerade is, after all, the masquerade.”
I raised my head while trying to find the red pandas circling around the child.
“Isn’t it enough if I just can’t see my face?”
“Silly!”
The little princess cried and cried. Then, realizing that I was the prince, I hurriedly covered my mouth.
Kristel, who was sitting on the sofa listening, muttered, ‘Wow, Cidre.
The civil servants bit their lips. The divine beasts in their arms sticking out their tongues and rejoicing.
…are you just saying that’s a cider, or cider statement?
Even the Juliet Palace family knows the meaning?
“So, I’m sorry. But I said stupid because I heard stupid things, how could you think I was a fool……”
“it’s okay. I must have been ignorant of what I said.”
When I said with a bitter smile, Eva said ‘yes’ bluntly.
Then, he brought his dazzling dark brown eyes.
“I will officially become the duke that day, and the prince will come as the duke’s partner. So, you have to be the most beautiful and pretty. It’s not as good as not being a middle-aged householder.”
Umm…
“Don’t worry. There’s something I’ve been thinking about. No one will recognize the prince. Just give me the dimensions.”
That was a million luck. Den Young was not alone in choosing clothes or decorating herself.
When I went to work, there were many days when I went out wearing whatever my hyung and Eunseo chose, and even today, I absolutely relied on the advice of my servants.
Eva’s help was reliable.
“I also read ＜Biweekly Lister> diligently. The prince is famous these days as the symbol of an angel in the zodiac,”
“Collock! Whoops!”
I was so flustered that I heard Sare in my saliva. I looked at Eva with my mouth on my forearm.
Please, isn’t it?
-smart
Then someone knocked on the door.
I thought Benjamin had already prepared refreshments, but it was Canael empty-handed.
The boy said in a serious voice.
“Prince, you are urgently looking for me at Romero’s Palace.”
Me and Kristel’s eyes quickly became entangled.
There was only one reason why the prince would see me on the weekend.
I was supposed to see you in the afternoon after having lunch, but when I saw you calling me right away, I thought that my condition had deteriorated.
Eva, not knowing the situation, blinked. I put down the red pandas and bowed down to her.
The surprised little princess greeted each other with anger.
It took less than ten seconds for Kristel and I to walk out the door.
“I’m leaving for a while, Eva. If you are hungry, eat first.”
“Does it take long?”
“that is······.”
I raised the corners of my lips vaguely.
“My partner is also an idiot, so I don’t know what will happen. If it seems like it will be very late, I will send the servant.”
