Chapter 110.
I followed his jaw and dropped my eyes dumbly. I didn’t realize the white envelope handed to me suddenly felt as heavy as the cloth neighborhood.” This is also the time when the incident was re-investigated.” That’s when the Crown Prince spat out in a thoughtless tone.
“…… Re-investigated?”
“Yes. I wondered what you would have been so crazy about flying last year for.”
“…………”
Sure enough, I didn’t do it, but I felt weird at the naked look I got from the guy I was pinning.
“Countess Dorthea was also robbed a couple times during the drive to Count Kellin’s house, and it easily blew over.”
“…… Countess Dorthea?”
“Yeah. He hunted down Kellin at the Inquisition to testify on his behalf.” The Crown Prince added with an insincere nod.
“I heard that group originally took turns hosting the tea party for the hunting tournament. Last year’s organizer was Kailin, this year it’s Dorthea.”
No wonder why I was invited to the tea party without a side of food. That tentacle-like female family member seems to have intervened in last year’s event as well.” Do you know why you entered that party again?”
The crown prince asked in surprise.” Why did you go again?! It’s not like you don’t know that those guys are scum too!”
How did I know they were the same scum. Sudden aggravation welled up in my heart, but it was hard to push it down. Totally questionable in the position of the Crown Prince.
“With …… the hunting tournament I entered a year later, I thought there would be some changes.” I was appropriately perfunctory. Whereupon the Crown Prince seemed genuinely surprised and looked back at me.
“I thought there were no two evil women …… in the world who actually had naive corners.”
“I’m a pacifist and not in a bad mood like anyone else, so I won’t draw my sword right away.”
“Instead, I’ll kill them.”
There was nothing to say to him, and his teeth cracked.
“Damn Penelope!”
I had only a cursory acquaintance with the events of the last year, not in depth. But seeing this, isn’t it plain as day? It’s a bit surprising …… that the Duke gave the diamond mines to Kellin’s side of the deal.
I don’t want to have to find out what happened before I was possessed to replace Penelope’s defense. But the Crown Prince finally spoke up and read in detail what happened last year.” I heard that Kellin parked two guards who had been bribed ahead of time to get you in trouble near the tea party grounds. Did you know that?”
“…… Collected, bribed?”
My eyes widened. A male female, even the guards were bribed.” It’s really, really disgusting.”
Why not this time was questioned, but immediately figured it out. I didn’t realize that after going through that look last year, a male female would still be involved. Looking at my completely unaware eyes, the crown prince immediately went down.
“Also searched out a handful of dirt for soaking mosquitoes, and everyone laughed together saying it was your partner.”
“…… Soak, soak mosquitoes?!”
Barely swallowed the voice that almost bounced back. Like I’d experienced it firsthand, it would be too bad if it was like the people who heard it for the first time.
“No, that’s too ………!”
Come to think of it, I experienced it at a hunting competition too. Mrs. Dorthea persuaded me to eat the girling I was yellow tea. Luckily, I pretended to drink it and let it go, or I would have been beaten and immobilized again.
Bad bitches. I really should have gone over and made a scene then.
I could not afford to get out of the stone bow without firing a shot, and hurriedly gritted my teeth. Penelope, only seventeen, had her eyes rolled back and was worth a flight.” You’re crazy to fly.”
Just about what I thought, the Crown Prince looked at me with a very amused expression.
“But catching the mosquitoes flying around, worrying about them personally, and pushing a crossbow in Kellin’s mouth is fantastic.”
“Sure enough, as rumor has it, it’s not ordinary.”
Right, right. He suddenly applauded in admiration. I cringed.” You’re kidding me, right?”
“How could I? People get sick if they hold back. That’s praise.”
It didn’t sound like praise at all. For a moment, I felt like I was on the same level as that guy, and my heart was in turmoil.
“But, didn’t you tell the duke in detail what happened at that time?” At that moment, the crown prince suddenly asked.
“What?”
“The mosquitoes, I mean the mosquito tea they gave you.”
“If I had said that, I wouldn’t have gone to the diamond mine. Since it’s on both sides, it’s probably taking it to the extent of sapphires.”
Callisto wasn’t being sarcastic, but purely asking a question.” ……”
I was speechless. Since this was a scene that didn’t appear in the game, I wonder how Penelope acted at that time. Did you really not tell the Duke?
But, when I think of the crazy choices in Hard Mode, Penelope’s character just has to say the same thing.
Apparently, “Those young men dared to mix me a mosquito’s tea!” Evil is used as a pretext to avoid the mess.
But I’ve decided to believe that Penelope simply tripped over her “kind hostess” and, like a fool, needs no excuse.
It would be sad if the words were spoken to the Duke and nothing changed ……, wouldn’t it?
“…… Because I didn’t think you’d believe it.”
I answered the Crown Prince’s question very late. Without realizing it, I was also gently stroking my cheek with one hand.
Under the sight of not knowing what the crown prince meant, I suddenly came to my senses and dropped my hand with my face dumbfounded.” There’s a lot over there, I’m alone. It’s also when I know what I’m doing.”
Shrugging, I tried to act as if nothing had happened.
I expected Callisto to scoff and sneer at my words. The end of her pout twisted around just as I’d expected.” And your father knows it.”
But he surprisingly didn’t mock me.” No less than our Emperor’s Majesty.”
Callisto laughed with a ferocious air. But it was strange, that face looked so somber.
I didn’t want to experience the chest thumping again. So the topic was hastily switched.
“But …… why did you give me this?” I said as I lifted the white envelope.” So it’s from my dad.”
“Into my hand, no matter who I give it to, it’s my heart.”
Callisto replied coldly. Meaning he wasn’t going to give it back to the Duke. After a brief pause, I handed him the mineral book.
“But …… is too much for me. I only thank you for the scroll.” This is the price of the values, shame, and tears that Penelope experienced last year ……
It’s something I can’t just take.
Returning the white envelope, flawed, the crown prince quirked his eyebrows.” This is not like a public woman, why are you like this?”
“Is it? What ……”
“You say you like me? That guy’s a gem, dragged solid and kept him alive.” The Crown Prince snorted and spoke with an expression of not knowing English. Suddenly, the conversation in the cave swept over his ears.
One looks a little money would have been nice. I would have been a bit fond of gems. And of course gold.
Face stiffened at the black history that surfaced for me.” Instead of killing people needlessly, why don’t we stop the bullshit and thank you for accepting.
“This is the reward for saving the life of the crown prince.”
At that moment, the crown prince suddenly approached and grabbed my hand.
Are you sure about
[2 Million Gold / Fame 200]
The unexpected contact caused a white square window to appear on his head.
The moment I stared at it dumbfounded, the back of my hands overlapped heavily in order to make him hold on to the white envelope that was extended for the purpose of returning it.
“Received it with a happy smile.”
“Stop looking like you’re chewing dog shit every time we meet.”
“Dog, shit!?”
I got tired of the guy’s vulgar tone and walked away. Not wanting to, but to hurry up and confirm the guy’s favorability when I had the chance. But then. Basque.
With the exception of the Crown Prince and I, I felt a subtle movement in the silence of the uncanny patronage. My reflexes jerked my head around.
…The thick grass that bordered the path to the Smoke Arms. Between the thick trees, the back of whoever was rapidly disappearing suddenly vanished. It was marvelously familiar silhouette.” Ikris ……?”
Unconsciously, as if talking to himself, a small grunt came out. It disappeared in an instant without looking closely, but it was obvious to see grayish-brown hair. Why is Ikris here ……?
There’s no way someone who’s supposed to be training right now would come to see me. It could be a misreading of the crooked smile.” Are you a hired man for work?”
“Yes? Ah…….”
The Crown Prince woke up with a start at the words he asked. Turning his head further, Callisto narrowed his eyes and stared into the empty woods.” That could be it.”
Hurrying to talk back in an irrelevant voice, his eyes returned to me with a grunt.” But male female.”
Still holding my hand tightly, he called out to me with a wonderful face.” Learning theater lately is an essential quality for nobles, isn’t it?”
