Chapter 145.

I couldn’t understand what the crown prince was saying. Nonetheless, he was still out of breath.

Staring blankly for a long time like he was deflated it was hard to purse his lips.

“Now… What did you say.”

“Don’t just offer some rumor.”

Clearly audible Callisto’s voice made me light up. The mood that had been just weirdly weepy shook like crazy.

I clenched my teeth. But unlike the usual ones that go away as soon as I clench my teeth and hold my breath, all the way to the end of my neck these strange feelings keep tormenting me.

“What’s so strange about it?”

Not understanding the semantics and looking blankly at me as he stood, Callisto turned his head to the side.

“One would think that what happened in the labyrinth was me dreaming alone.”

The Crown Prince said anything to stay alive, mentioning my shameful past. When I gave the impression that I was half-dead, this guy let out a loud laugh.

“Are you still angry?”

“What… Thing?”

“The thing where I put a knife to your neck.”

His words made my jaw drop. For being surprised that he still cared about it, but he finally realized the fact that he had forgotten all about it without realizing it.

(Obviously up until then I hated being angry ……)

When exactly did it become like this? Surprisingly, Callisto wasn’t so sinister that he didn’t even want to see a shadow.

Every time I’ve seen him lately, because of the marvelous mood of not knowing his true identity, instead…

“Will that take the edge off?”

But without a word, I still felt like I was bothering with that, and the crown prince made a terrible sound. I pressed harder and shook my head.

“No! It happened like that back then… It was all accepted.”

But the extreme action-oriented madman had already taken something out of his arms. The ornate scabbard with the distinctive shadowy engraving of a yellow dragon. What he held out to me was a single blade.

“This, what is this…”

“Since it’s my birth anniversary, I didn’t make it with the black color.”

“You can scratch it slightly with this.”

The guy gently touched the back of his neck with his finger. That’s where the blood appeared on the earlobe.

I looked at him and Mononoke in turn and yelled at once.

“What are you doing? Enough!”

“Why? There’s the healing box you gave me again, just treat it right away.”

“Will you be sentenced to death for treason? Dangerous, put it in quickly!

Facing a sad face, the Crown Prince winced, the Crown Prince did not insert the knife into his mouth, instead his expression looked pleasant.

“Then is there no obstacle for you to socialize with me now? ”

I looked at him blankly like a fool, and suddenly saw what caught my eye so I gave it… the glitter that shimmered in the golden moonlight.

I think that the red good sense that is similar to the color of the crown prince’s pupils is as dangerous as a siren. Therefore, Callisto’s favorability was not previously confirmed separately. He’s the king of the game, and he’s the man I want to run away from the furthest.

But. This little trick is not quite clear. Perhaps I no longer know when to start.

“Why?”

“… Ha.”

I pulled my arm toward him. Then gently gripped the hand that held out a single blade to me.

The moment the red pupils became slightly larger in the face of the sudden contact.

System

[2 Million Gold / Fame 200]

Crossing between us, the white box rises in the air.

Locked [2 million gold] to secure favor with you (Remaining funds: 42,000,000 gold)

Then, the white letters above Callisto’s head immediately changed

[Favorable Sense 74%]

An indescribable mood hit me when I saw the favorability level that surfaced. At the same time, reassuringly heavy feelings surged up. It was similar to disappointment.

“… Gong Fu.”

As I stared blankly at the top of his head, Callisto suddenly reminded me. I held his hand without saying a word, and the look in his eyes was surprising.

I fluttered and removed the hand covering the back of his hand.

“What’s with the sudden expression?

I couldn’t tell what kind of expression I had, but despite that, I couldn’t stop myself from holding on to it and continuing.

” … Your Highness am I worth it”

“Do I …… them?

The Crown Prince’s eyes widened to an ocean. As if he had heard an out-of-the-way word, he asked again rhetorically.

“We?”

“Yes. That…. Was it Aizen who requested a relationship?”

“The male daughter.” Callisto gazed at me in alarm, and then the words escaped his lips.

“Is that not quite the right thing to say in a situation like ours?”

“Why is that not appropriate?” This is what the male female said the night before the hunting convention”

“What…”

“I want to find someone who fits the reality of the situation.”

In that instant, it was as if someone had hit me on the back of the head, and my mind froze. The kind of emotion that I thought was similar to disappointment turned into something much bigger and chilling.

The Crown Prince seemed completely unaware of this state of mine, stroking his chin carefully.

“When you think about it, there is some truth in that statement. But your thinking is wrong.”

“We are in the position where we are most needed and best suited for each other in reality. It’s the union of the dangerous Crown Prince and the ugly duckling the Duke put out.”

“And then leaving that …… with you will become comfortable moods and pleasant, are we not a good match, Duchess?

“Even if you fly around like a mad dog now, after having a coming of age ceremony and marrying according to the family’s arrangement, you are still the same as any other young lady.”

The Crown Prince tucked the blade into his arms and looked squarely at me.

“You come to me, and I think we could make good partners! ”

He shrugged his shoulders lightly and smiled like he always did. It was exactly the same as a moment ago, and it just felt a little raw on his face.

“We could provide each other with a joyful resting place in this damned empire .”

I understood his words belatedly. In other words, the invitation to go out with me not long ago was not out of an exchange of feelings, but a choice based on complex reasons.

Unlike me who viewed this as a game of relationship miscellany, he faced his reality with a calm demeanor.

It’s only 74%, but love is freezing.

Of course, 74% doesn’t say he doesn’t have a crush on me. I just strained to admit it.

Let me explain, I have a soft spot for crown princes who can be dealt with without meticulous calculations. He’s good, and I’m good. We have a soft spot for each other. But that’s all. Romantic feelings like love are a luxury for the current Crown Prince whose position is precarious. It’s the same for me.

I can’t even be compared. The most important thing for me is to survive and escape with only one week left.

Unlike the normal pattern, I had no chance to ask for a relationship.

Scalp began to chill, and it was only natural that reason would gradually return. But it was impossible to understand why there was no strength in my toes.

“I…”

The slightest relaxation gave way to a headache. I shrugged my crumbling body and looked straight at the crown prince

“I don’t want to become that kind of relationship with your highness…”

“Your Imperial Majesty.

At that moment, from the other end of the glass door came a loud bang from the clock. At the same time, a vibration sounded in the Crown Prince’s arms.

“Damn it, Cedric Potter of the Patient Dogs is at it again.”

He pulled out a neurotic shiny crystal ball and quickly touched up the standing me.

“How long before it’s time for your Bar Mitzvah? Don’t answer now, think about it then. And answer me on the day of the Bar Mitzvah, male female.”

“Nope. It doesn’t seem to bother me anymore…”

“Harm,” the Crown Prince gagged my mouth that wanted to say no with his own palm. With wide, threatening eyes, he said.

“It would be tragic to be dumped on your birthday. Wouldn’t it?”

“We ……”

“Thanks for the gift, male female.” You need to set aside time to take your time. Maybe even care about the mice here now!

“Whew! My answer is ……”

The Crown Prince covered my mouth, and before I could say anything, he pulled back the curtains and slipped away like lightning.

I was alone on that quiet balcony.

“Ha…”

Just as he said, “Gazing at the fading back of the Prince, I immediately sighed and closed the curtains”, I needed to leave some time. But having been left alone, there was suddenly a deep sense of fatigue.

Time has passed, it’s time to go out and take a look, but I still don’t dare to go back to the banquet hall. Once again, I put on the mask as if nothing had happened, and looked at the main character’s eyes and pouted. There’s no confidence at all to do that well with a bad mood.

”Want to go?”

Looking at the end of the railing, that impulse arose all of a sudden.

“Why should I barely stay here?”

I just need to care about the man who will make me bread from the good sense that I won’t die. There’s no reason to even follow the obligations of the game’s background, the nobility.

Looking downwards, it’s 1 floor, but you can jump down.

“Let’s go.”

I had no choice but to roll up my skirt and climb up along the railing.

Before jumping down, the Duke’s face swept across the mind.
