Chapter 108.

“It’s all over, ma’am.”

I was busy biting the maids around me. The mirror reflected the deflated face.” Well?”

Scanning my current appearance, I replied in a satisfied voice.

“I’m about to vomit blood and collapse.”

“……No, are you kidding?”

“No, it’s a compliment.”

Seriously. With a few layers of powder, her face was as white as a ghost, and her lips had no blood color at all.

What had been applied under the snow, drooping black artificial black eyes, it was really the look of a sickly-colored and tenacious noble lady.” I like it.”

Looking in the mirror with a cheeky grin.

“Miss, this is Fennel.”

The deacon knocked on the door of the room. I jumped up from the dresser at that moment and ran to the bed to lie down. Maybe it was because Shi or the Crown Prince couldn’t help but follow the deacon as he barged into my room. Pulling the covers up to the end of my neck and giving a “big” dry cough, I spoke.

“Listen …… let me ……”

The all dying voice flowed out rather naturally. Shortly afterward, my door opened. Fortunately, only one deacon entered the house. Although no one followed, after a closer look, I was relieved to be back in good shape.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hark.”

The deacon who approached the bed suddenly inhaled and paused for a moment. He looked at me wonderfully, pursing his lips.

“For a short time …… how did you become like this? Miss.”

“Do I kind of look like a patient?”

“Like someone who just jumped out of a coffin.”

Satisfied with the answer, I grinned. Once again the butler blew a gasket.” By the way, how’s it going? Is he gone?”

Smothering my face with thick paste. Trying to wash it out quickly. But to my question, the deacon did not answer truthfully, showing a solemn expression.

“That’s …… the Duke, allowed to meet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

“What!”

I opened my mouth. Struggled for a moment and asked again.” I, I’m so unlucky ……?”

“Well, I’ve already said so …… His Highness said he wants to visit the sick, I’m going to break into the lady’s room right away ……”

“What, what did you say?!”

“The Duke could not bear to prevent a separate meeting in the room, and eventually a compromise was reached after a brief meeting under the patronage of De Kuan.”

“On the contrary, I have good news. Considering the girl’s physical condition, the time is set for 30 minutes or less …….”

“Is that …… good news?”

I barfed in exasperation. I was convinced that the Duke would be the first to become a shield even without my intervention. But the believing Duke betrayed me.” Haha.”

I thought with a weak laugh.” It’s finished ……”

The interview with the Crown Prince is finalized.

***

I left the room in my white pajamas, wearing only a cardigan. So, in costume, this was just to instill the Crown Prince with a guilty conscience. Badass. Do you chase after even the sick to make trouble?

Of course, it’s still a question whether he has such a conscience.

As soon as I opened the back door, I slowed my pace, took a deep breath, and took a big step toward the back garden.

It’s been raining for days, and the sunshine of a long-awaited clear fall day is too blue and too high. Seeing the clean sky and the beautiful view of the Duke’s house unfolding beneath it eased some of the emotions that had been brewing from nerves.

Yup. Is he still going to come to the Duke’s house to kill me.”

Either way, that guy was a madman I never wanted to see again, and I wasn’t going out that easily.

“I mean whatever happens don’t kill me. If you must kill me, please give me a hard time.”

Ha…I see.

Remembering the past agreement, I moved my feet in a relaxed mood.

Where is he?

I couldn’t see it, and walked as much as I could left and right. A huge back is seen in the distance. Walking towards the wooded side of the lotus field, an endless yellow flower bloomed at the waist. Did he immediately notice the movement, despite the distance, he suddenly turned to look at me.

“Hey, my only lover from the past has finally come out.”

Even looking at it in bright broad daylight, the splendid hair that looks like gold sliced into thin slices hasn’t lost its luster. But right now that scene was invisible to my head at all.

“Huh?”

I was going to strut toward him with my head held high. Because of the bright red color that flashed threateningly on the top of his head.

“What are you staring stupidly at?”

“What? On being kicked off and now obsessed with something?”

I looked blankly at his head even at the stunned voice he said. What the hell is this ……

Gazing at my reddish irises. The good feeling gauge bar blinking like a siren looked so unlucky.

“Now …… isn’t that a bit of a good relationship now!”

After the interlude of the Hunting Competition, simply put, I’m now free of the dead weight brought on by the Crown Prince. But seeing that ominous red color, I was instantly scared.

The darker the color, the more dangerous it is? Then what was the blackish red color of Ikris? Unease instantly ate away at my jaw.

Completely afraid to approach him, I stood dumbfounded, and without my answer, the crown prince showed a surprised face.

“…… male daughter. Is it really uncomfortable anywhere?” He instantly closed the distance.” You really look pale.”

The guy who ran in front of my nose suddenly bent down to stare at my face. And it was a careful scrutiny of my face.

“Why, why did you do that?”

I shouted backward in fear. Then my teeth remembered that I had dressed as if it hurt. Any more emotion, and a closer look only reveals embarrassment.

Backing up about three steps, the Crown Prince cocked his head.

“Well …… appearance is rather like a patient.”

“It’s not, the appearance of being sick now, it’s that of being sick, Your Highness.”

“It’s not like I don’t want to see you, don’t think I lied.”

Recognized as a fake, I managed to hold down my trembling heart and replied tersely.” I’m sure it’s that.”

“Why? Isn’t that a disease that you take medicine for and get better right away? You’ve been sick for months.”

The past took me by surprise and I lost what I was going to say. After a moment of silence I timidly lowered my head and turned the conversation to greetings.

“…… See the Empire’s little sun.”

“That was quick.”

The Crown Prince sneered as he twisted the tail of his mouth. I knew it was too late for a greeting too, and it was getting a little awkward.

“Why did you …… come here?”

“Ha, what did you do?”

My question sounded like he had a mean look in his eyes.

“You know what, male female? Lately the people in the social world who have nothing better to do get together and interrupt the male daughter and me.”

“I’ve heard how blackmailed you were by the conversation you shared with me at the night before the Hunting Competition’s festival and what you said in court, and even the Crown Prince is desperately trying to find out who the man the male daughter is in love with is.”

“Is that so? That, that kind of ……!”

“Besides, the secret meeting in the woods, I was pestering you painfully to get you to see me again. Heh, gasp.”

“What, what did you say?!”

Looking at the appearance of the Crown Prince who exploded like a nervous wreck, I opened my mouth. Of course, I made up some lies in the Inquisitor, but never such a delusional statement.

Crazy! The Crown Prince is angry now, that guy is 80% dead ……

What the hell kind of damned guy is spreading that kind of nonsense?!

It made me have to gnash my teeth. At that moment, suddenly someone’s screaming voice echoed in my ears.

“Wasn’t it you? I’ll help you quell the rumors.”

“Could it be ……”

The foreboding of the ominous make made me hurriedly shake my head.

Even as stupid as I was, I knew that no one would answer for me, saying that kind of nonsense. It was definitely not in my defense.

“You’ve become the most attractive woman in the empire, and you’ve trolled even the crown prince overnight. How does that feel? Male daughter?”

“……………”

“Thanks to your blessing, mine has become even less so.”

The Crown Prince showed his clenched teeth and smiled ghost-like, taking a step toward me and walking towards me.
