084 To be called a villain (2)
“Shinsu…..”
When Eva found Demi, her eyes turned to the size of a plate.
When the red panda opened and closed her mouth menacingly, she took a step back, as if in bewilderment.
I hurriedly got up from my seat.
“Demi, you’re fine. Princess Blanquere, you are making a fuss with the priests in the temple. This is disrespectful treatment.”
I said calmly.
Eva looked up and looked at me, then returned with an angry expression.
“I know. You are now a bishop like a prince. me too······. I will definitely take the prince away!”
“I think the lines are wrong.”
“ah. I will take the Prince and the Princess!”
“Prince?”
Hearing the commotion, Benjamin and Canael, who were in the priest’s room, hurriedly opened the door and came out.
I smiled bitterly and looked at it. It made me worry a bit.
– Tap!
Eva, too, probably didn’t want anyone to find out, so she put on a robe and started running towards the front door.
Now I saw that she was dressed in the heavy and luxurious bishop’s uniform.
Those clothes will never be worn except for some kind of event.
‘I’m Princess Eva Blanquer, the little duke’s younger sister. He said he would be ordained a bishop next week.’
The voice of a nobleman I heard at the dueling place crossed my mind.
It’s been a week since then, so maybe Eva is the bishop today.

On such an auspicious day, you came to the Imperial Palace alone and met me?
“Oh!”
Eva eventually stumbled into the conquest! I quickly teased my feet,
-widely!
“…Princess Blanquere? What have you done?”
A strong voice rang out. Eva shook her head in surprise.
A taller and more mature woman than the girl was firmly supporting her body as she fell to the floor.
The dark green bob flickered briefly.
“Count Mute So, how are you here…….”
“The prince has informed you of an emergency.”
Sir Elizabeth smiled and looked into my eyes.
I lightly waved my hand and smiled. Eva quickly turned her head and looked at me.
It was the first time I actually pulled the decorative string of confession.
I didn’t know this little girl would be caught.
*
“Princess Eva Blanquer. Did you know that the princess’ actions could be considered an attack on the Liester royal family?”
Eva’s face turned white at Sir Elizabeth’s calm question.
We were sitting on one of the empty new seats and talking.
To be more precise, it looked like Sir Elizabeth, the commander of the Imperial Household Guard, was interrogating Eva, the ‘suspect’.
The temple was closed, and knights and guards entered the room and crossed the entrance.
Benjamin and Canael went back into the priest’s room after double-checking that I was safe.
I poured the olive leaf tea that Benjamin had prepared for me in three cups.
A sweet and savory scent came up.
“I, that’s, that’s why!”
“Prince Jesse is a royal priest who entered the palace to receive a confession from the royal family, and a guest of Romero staying at the Juliet Palace. You must have recognized that disrespect to the Prince was an insult to His Majesty Prince Sedric. Wasn’t there a small duke’s job?”
Count Soh’s gray eyes sank heavily.
When the story of her brother, Duke Robert Blanquere, came out, Eva started hiccuping.
Gosh.
“Hey. This is weird. The prince is a hostage. hib. The older brother said that the prince made up his mind and was possessing the royal family and the great nobles, Hibu. I did.”
If I had such a talent, I would have taken over the empire earlier.
“Princess Blanquere, excuse me, but may I ask your age?”
I said softly as much as I could and handed Eva the mug.
She quickly drank the olive leaf tea.
When I advised, ‘Get up, bow deeply and drink the tea,’ the girl obeyed me.
I don’t think the sky is bad.
“Are the hiccups over now?”
“Interesting······. No, I am sixteen. We had our coming-of-age ceremony last week.”
Eva muttered innocently, then spoke again with a pointed face.
If I turned 16 last week, I would have been born yesterday with Canael.
Besides, he seemed to be acting much younger than his peers, probably because he was raised to be noble.
I sighed briefly and exchanged glances with Sir Elizabeth.
“Sir Elizabeth, if possible, I would like to take care of the princess’s work on my own terms.”
“Are you okay? It is to inform His Majesty and formally visit the palace.”
“No, I’m too young.”
“I am not young, I am an adult. Don’t talk like your brother!”
Eva narrowed her dark brown eyes and looked at me.
After being possessed, everything goes wrong. Eunseo was docile, so her puberty passed quietly.
“I am an adult by age. But the princess’s heart seems immature. I don’t think I can take responsibility for my actions yet.”
“·················ogue.”
I blinked towards the entrance. Tall young men stood tall like grim reapers.
The child hurriedly turned around.
“Why did you do that? I think you have a right to be heard.”
When asked, Eva held the teacup in her hand as if it was about to burst.
Her red curly hair leaned hard toward the floor.
“I have already told you. It was because I hated the prince. As I am the second child, I cannot become a small duke, and I cannot marry the country because I am a cousin to the Crown Prince. By the way······.”
“By the way?”
“It seems difficult for Your Majesty and Princess Sarnez to become a religious companion.”
I shut my mouth for a moment. Too many thoughts filled my head at once.
There were about a hundred words on the tip of his tongue to point out, and then he gulped down, leaving only a few sentences.
“First of all, the Prince is twenty-four. I’ll be twenty-five soon. Even if it’s not a cousin, it seems to me that 16 people marry 24.”
I answered.
Kristel is also 19, but she has a retired office worker in her body, so I decided to make an exception.
They are also an official couple with the prince.
“Isn’t 16 an adult even in a new country?”
“Still not. Twenty-four sixteen? It is garbage.”
Eva’s eyes widened at my words.
Sir Elizabeth, who was quietly drinking tea, spit out the tea.
“Sir Elizabeth, a waterfall flows from your mouth.”
“Sigh. I’m sorry. I······.”
Count So gibberish, took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips and uniform.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like it was because it was inconvenient.
‘I’m in a position to be married’ was continued. I didn’t know what it was all of a sudden.
I started hitting Eva again.
“And I have no interest in the religious companionship of the Crown Prince or Princess Sarnez.”
“lie.”
“It really is. It’s not even realistic in the first place. As the princess said, I am a hostage, which imperial family would want to have such a relationship with someone from an enemy country? The same is true for the Sarnez family. There’s no reason to embrace the troubles in a family of such power. There are many capable archbishops in the Empire.”
“······then. So now? There is no one in the zodiac who knows that the prince went to the Summer Palace with His Majesty and His Majesty the two of them. He even served as an etheric assistant to the two paladins.”
Eva asked in a low voice. uhm.
“that······. It is because I am the two of you. But it’s temporary.”
“I thought so. They said they all start as friends. Then it will be returned!”
The little princess cried again and became angry.
I have to rebut that this is not the case in all cases, but the only cases I knew were Cardinals and the Emperor, Princess Antoinette Duheme and Priest Mariel.
Both were cases of religious companionship from best friends. shit.
“That, hmm. Princess Blanquere. Is there any special reason for wanting to pursue a career?”
At that time, Sir Elizabeth, who had successfully cleaned up the spilled tea, asked.
Both me and Eva’s eyes turned to her at the same time.
“The Duke of Blanquere is a wealthy family. There will be a lot of convenient things about not inheriting the title. Religious companionship of the imperial family or great aristocrats will not be an easy place by any means. I am very happy with my life as Countess, but not all successors are like me.”
It was a calm and mature tone. I looked at Eva quietly.
Eva was silent for a moment, then clenched her lips once more and parted ways.
“I want to have power.”
Five.
“It just looked good from a young age. My mother said that the higher the position, the harder it is, but I want to climb as high as possible. I have a desire to do well. But because I have an older brother, I can’t become a small duke…”
The girl furrowed her brow. Me and Sir Elizabeth’s eyes intertwined meaningfully.
“Princess, by any chance, after the last duel, you were staring at me…”
“yes?”
“The prince could have killed the duke, but I stopped him. Are you upset that you missed the chance to push your brother away?”
“I, I am not that wicked!”
Eva’s voice grew louder. It was an extremely sad look.
Sir Elizabeth, I was caught in the mood and immediately apologized.
I’m sorry, I’ve seen too much of the face of internal politics.
“Even if you torment me, you are still my brother. There are times when it is embarrassing and shameful. If I return to the estate soon, I will be severely scolded by my parents.”
“Is your brother bullying you?”
I asked right away. The little princess had a troubled face for the first time after coming here.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“No, tell me. I will not divulge.”
– quiver
At that moment, Demi, who had been lying on the floor silently, got up and patted my leg, wagging her tail.
It looked sad. He flashed it and put it on his lap, and Eva stared at him.
Before being a noble, he was a priest, so I thought the divine beast was strange.
Demi is so cute, so I’m sure she’ll get a crush on her.
“I like it when I give it ether. Imagine opening a flower bud at your fingertips.”
At my words, Eva hesitated and held out her little hand.
He obviously wanted to communicate with Demi, but it seems he couldn’t speak first because of his pride.
-Saaa
– Kiy
Near the little princess’s fingernails, an etheric ball the size of a candy rose.
I supported Demi’s warm stomach as she got up.
He pressed Eva’s golden fingers with his front paws.
“Isn’t it cute? I also eat fruits and flowers.”
“Oh my gosh.”
Eva was genuinely amazed.
Unlike when he said he wanted power, he had an innocent expression on his face.
I smiled softly, and the boy took turns looking at me and Demi, then bit my lip.
“It really doesn’t matter. just······. All it takes is my brother making fun of me for being mean.”
“Does the little duke say that to the princess?”
“I have been like this since I was four years old. You’re not good enough, so you can just deal with the servants. You don’t have to apologize because you’re bad. You’re not good, so if you scream, I’ll listen to everything. That way.”
“·················ogue.”
I slid backwards and grabbed Sir Elizabeth’s arm.
She was ready to pull out her sword and go to cut the peacock.
“Didn’t your parents say something to the little duke?”
He just pretended to be calm and spoke up.
“My parents are always busy, so they are not that close to my siblings. But he’s nine years older than me, so I think he saw it right.”
Eva said in a slightly weak voice.
The child was looking at the empty water bottle that had been poured on me a while ago.
“Even if I think about it, I think I’m mean.”
I clenched my teeth. How long has that bastard brainwashed him?
*
At that time, Cedric Lister and Christel de Sarnez were sitting opposite each other in the parlor of Romero Palace.
A single sentence spread like wildfire throughout the Imperial Palace in an instant.
The prince had no history of bringing an unfamiliar nobleman into his palace.
Sir Johann Haines, his paladin teacher, and priest Sant, and even Prince Jesse Penetian, who the prince himself said to have defended his honor, had never been invited to Romero.
At this, Romero’s court servants were very excited.
David, the head servant, sternly rebuked him for not talking nonsense and waking up from his dreams, but they were already discussing national borders and ceremonies from a distance.
All of these were words that could be said because they did not know the relationship between the two men.
“What do you mean?”
the prince asked lowly.
There wasn’t even a ceremonial offer of drinks, but Kristel didn’t blink.
David commanded her ‘coffee with ice softly’ and the prince’s hot and black coffee.
Kristel opened her mouth quietly.
“I told you I was here to pick up a handkerchief.”
“Main subject.”
“Annual Prayer Meeting.”
The orange eyes on the other side shone sharply.
The main character raised the corners of his lips in a refreshing way.
“Before we go, how about making an agreement with me?”
