Chapter 163.

I silently looked into his lost eyes.

He said, “I’ve been worried about when it would bloom.”

“Of course, it’s a given now that you’ve been kicked out.”

When you hear someone’s voice, you hear a voice that deserves sympathy. Callisto’s frown deepens.

Unfortunately, I don’t even care to say something like that. It’s not really my situation, and it’s a game plot that’s already set in stone anyway. I can’t change it in any way, there’s no way around it.

“The premise that I’ve always been a male daughter is wrong in your proposal, your highness.”

I soothed my heart and revealed part of my hidden secret

“I want someone who can pull me out of hell and love me.

“I’m an Imperial Servant and I’m not the kind of person who has a lot at stake. Take me out of here.”

“That’s it.”

I took a big breath and then drew it out like a sigh.

Callisto’s face, confirmed after glancing up, was expressionless.

“I …… am not?” He asked, sinking his face.

“Yes,” Once again seeing Callisto’s pupils waver slightly, I nodded slowly.

“Your Highness is going to be Emperor.”

I managed to avoid his gaze and lowered my head.

“More if we find it. The proper stakes have been matched, and together they are just happy and pleasant ladies. For example…”

“For example, the real male female who came back.”

With that said, a standard model crown prince channel suddenly comes to mind.

He brutally killed the evil daughter who bullied the heroine, and thereafter held a betrothal ceremony with her. And with the full support of Duke Eckhardt, he defeats the evil forces and marries Iben after ascending the throne.

After the credits ended, the illustration depicting the magnificent wedding of the Emperor and Empress that appeared in the afterword flashed across the mind.

To be honest, Iben is now very apologetic. But the important thing was that the Crown Prince had survived the soon-to-be-broken throne unscathed and taken hold of it behind her back. In the illustration of him wearing the crown while growing up, he smiles a very satisfied smile. This is an important point. Carving it into his mind, he felt uncomfortable trying to kill all of that small handful of things.

“Perhaps it would be more helpful to your highness.”

I chanted vaguely about the small white flowers blooming in the lush green grass under the table.

“It might be better for Your Highness to socialize with a real male female instead of me.”

“Shut your mouth.”

In that instant, a piercing murderous aura surged through me with the startling sound of “crunching” bones biting into each other.

I was startled and raised my lowered head. The Crown Prince stared at me with deep red eyes, glaring menacingly.

“Just how far are you going to insult me, male daughter ……”

“Ha! ”

“Now how can you call yourself a matchmaker and talk about liking the Crown Prince? Is my suggestion so ridiculous to you?”

I didn’t know why he was angry. Flustered and wide-eyed, it was hard to answer the question.

“… It’s not that.”

Before I could finish my words, the Crown Prince muttered as if he was chewing.

“Fuck, I don’t know why you’re being like this,” he ran one hand roughly through his bangs.

“Then you. Why don’t I just send me off, wrangle with that girl, and lounge out in the corner of this room after we eat?”

“Why do you say that all of a sudden?”

“Which guy, tell me.”

I frowned at the direction of the clueless conversation. Escape is entirely my own business.

“There’s no guy like that. Even so, you don’t have to worry about him.”

“I’m on the brink now, Penelope Eckhardt, and it’s a real boundary to answer that you must be careful.”

The backs of his hands were covered with bruises.

I did not understand to ask.” Why are you angry?

“So you’re not angry now?

The Crown Prince seemed to be unable to hold back his anger and slammed his hand on the table. Light- ! Because of the loud noise, I shrank my shoulders in fear and looked at him dumbfounded.

“I’m the one who doesn’t know. Why are you doing this to me if you don’t love me.”

“His Highness needs noble daughters without feelings or stakes, I need people who can love me.”

“Is that difficult to say?”

I gave back what the crown prince had said as it was. Callisto blew his eyes wide open and blew me off with equal ferocity.

But that was all. He hemmed and hawed, unable to say anything.

For a time the suffocating silence of the glass conservatory sank in. There was no gazing at each other as we were.

I suddenly felt a deep sense of fatigue and opened my mouth wide.

“… Don’t ever come back to the Duke’s mansion again, Your Highness.”

Without realizing it, my lips were moving recklessly. Callisto, who was dissipating his anger by clenching his fists, raised his red eyes sparklingly.

“Do not send me gifts. Don’t know nothing about me. It was meant to be.”

“Is there nothing between us?

“Yes.”

I nodded my head in reaffirmation.

“Your Highness and I have nothing to do with each other. It will continue in the future as well.”

“Ha…”

Callisto burst out laughing with a bewildered look on his face. He unclenched his tightly clenched fists and kept running his face. The current situation seemed very depressing and convoluted.

It had been a long time since the Crown Prince had finally taken it off his face. In that very moment, he asked with a tired face.

“Have I been dumped?”

“If you’re upset, you can assume that His Highness dumped me” I answered cleanly.

“It’s a continuation of the barbaric atrocity I committed in the labyrinth a few days ago. Really, it’s strange.”

Only halfway through the answer, he looked at me coldly and frowned.

“I…”

He spoke after touching his face once more in quick succession, “I thought you had the same idea as me.”

“Same thoughts as me, same heart, same path, I thought it was someone who was going to walk the same path ……”

“…….”

“What a strange mood for you to say that.” I hesitated to ask what was wrong, and chose to keep my mouth shut. Just like the crown prince was restless, he started tapping the table again in a spirited manner.

“I figured you’d say no.”

“You’re always in front of me, saying obnoxious things.” So the choice of language of the abominable-faced fellow bored me uncontrollably. But I stayed silent. Because Callisto showed an empty smile.

“But I didn’t expect to be rejected. The mood was really bad.

My heart stuttered at his words. I clenched my teeth. At that moment, the crown prince stood up with a flourish.

Fructose- ! The chair fell back due to his rude physical movements, but not a single person or anyone I cared about.

“I know your answer.”

“… Ha.”

“Show me the adult ritual.”

He said in rapid succession, not looking at me. I hurriedly answered.

“You’ve already given me a gift, so I can not come that day.”

But before the words could be delivered, Callisto blew a cold wind and turned around mercilessly. And, what about a quick walk towards the entrance of the greenhouse?

Lang- ! It didn’t take long for the rough glass door to rumble shut. The glass greenhouse fell silent.

“…… Ha.”

If you were in love with Iben, you wouldn’t have said it in front of Callisto like you are now. Being able to say it before then, thankfully, wouldn’t have been so tragic.

I panicked and looked at the closed glass door, multiline and multilevel.

* *

Callisto, who left Penelope behind, suddenly turned his gaze to something that his feet touched on the floor.

“What? Seeds.”

The two strong men who had fallen to the ground. A small body crouched down and looked at them cautiously.

“Is it a male female?”

They had personally punched and kicked him with their fists before entering the greenhouse, but after falling, they still stood in his way. Couldn’t help but be some fearless fellows. The heart was uncomfortable. He kicked one of the men who had fallen under his feet hard in the arm like a piece of trash.

“Oh!”

I heard a human groan and a sharp intake of breath. It was his daily life.

The road cleared and there was no more cover before he moved his feet. Not in the moment of walking…

“Uh, that.”

Suddenly the end of his cloak was tugged. He slowly turned around. I saw the top of a pink head and he lowered his head.

It was Iben “Oh, hello. Well, I am. I’m staying at this house. The guards were down and shocked.”

“Hey, if I’m inconvenienced by blocking your way without meaning to, I’m really sorry ……”

“……?” Callisto, who had been sleeping until then, suddenly spoke.

Iben gently raised his head. He probably didn’t understand the words and had a stupid expression. I would have felt uncomfortable. Callisto spoke through clenched teeth.

“Put your hands down if you don’t want to be cut off.”

“Oh, oh ……”

Probably not understanding my words at all, the maid just froze and blinked her eyes. The crown prince, as usual, immediately pulled out his knife. As soon as he forced the knife under his neck, he coldly sharpened it.

“How are the ears plugged?”

“Ahhhh, God!”

“Don’t you know that putting your hands on royalty without permission is an immediate execution?”

“I, I …… made a big mistake.”

The sharp blade plunged under the neck. Iben shuddered in pain and sobbed.

He really didn’t love to hear a woman’s cry. For remembering a certain person who had caught him sobbing incessantly at every opportunity during his early childhood. Wanted to kill him immediately, but he managed to lower his temper with a deep breath. Because of the woman standing in the greenhouse behind him. She had an extreme distaste for blood and cruelty. Wouldn’t go out with herself a second time if it was not enough to just show them something as beautiful as me even if it was a knife or a gun in the workroom.

“Ha.”

Callisto took a deep breath, pulled out his knife, and inserted it into its sheath again.

“Strictly chosen to get it, even the Duke is so poorly educated about hiring.

And, from the one who still bowed his head and shivered in front of him. It seemed to have no relative value anymore.

The crown prince waved his red cloak and disappeared, and after a while, Iben looked up. The face wet with tears was pitiful, beautiful.

But the moisture-filled blue eyes where the Crown Prince had disappeared were nothing like that.

She clutched at a fragment of the false fall and hid behind it, her hands shivering and shaking.
