Chapter 59.
Calm down, it was as if cold water had been poured over his body.
“Haha …… It’s over, it’s over.”
I could only laugh in relief.
“Did …… Penelope give it to you?”
Derrick asked in a lower voice. For some reason, I seemed to be angry, and I accidentally shivered. I don’t know if there was a wink or not, but the Duke lost his smile and nailed their medicine.
“My lord, so are you all. So be nice to the others in general. Personality that way will be unpopular with women, right? Sheesh.”
“…… Huh?”
Reina laughed as if she was cold.
At that time. Derrick, who was silently looking at the Duke, suddenly turned his eyes to me. Unknown feelings swirled in the azure pupils.” You, to me ……”
He tried to say something in a suppressed voice, then closed his mouth and turned his head.
Favorability -1%.
[Favorable Sense 26%]
Ah, why!
“Gave her some talismans or something?!”
I felt aggravated at the difficulty mode’s favorability that was prone to fall absurdly.
***
Approaching the palace, the carriage slowed down dramatically. Peeking out of the window, I saw a long line of carriages starting west of the entrance.” Why do we have to wait so long this time?”
At the last banquet, we didn’t have a line or anything.
After passing through, the Duke answered for my self-talk.
“Checking for murderous magical weapons, magical creatures, witches, etc. ……”
“Check?”
“Yes. The hunting tournament hosted by the prince himself would be thoroughly searched if he knew how precious life is.” Surprised, I quickly nodded in agreement.
The War Hero Crown Prince had many enemies not only within the empire but also outside. Before ascending to the throne, he might be subject to constant ties and threats to his life.
“The day of humanity’s rupture has arrived ah.”
I got to know guy’s crazy personality. But that doesn’t mean sympathize with him, I’m the most pitiful here.
But if it is a wizard who is also to be examined …… can …… not he also be involved?”
Shortly afterward the carriage of the Duke’s family arrived at the checkpoint, and I was not long in this idea. We passed easily, of course. However, the beads on my stone bow got stuck in the crystal ball that reads magic, but since it was obviously for hunting, it was fine.
After the palace wizard finished his inspection, he returned my angfune continental box to Emily, who was sitting in the other carriage.
“What do you want to do this time. I’m always ready.”
Looking at it through the window, Leonard sarcastically commented.
Derrick, probably feeling the same way, looked at me with sympathetic eyes and sighed faintly.
“Kem!”
The handmade, carefully prepared Duke seemed to dry cough uncomfortably, and I was aggravated again. The place where the previous night’s preparations had been made was a spacious garden a little away from the woods where the hunting grounds were. Whether the palace is a palace or a wilderness, the banquet hall is well decorated. . decorated more brightly with flowers and gardens of beautiful pretty cloths and ribbons .
. a wall of high bushes hidden around the ballroom, so that one could not peek inside from the outside
The gorgeous lights worn were quite handsome.
There were probably many who had already arrived, and the attendants were busy between the round tables prepared by the families.
As soon as the Duke and the two brothers arrived, they went to inspect the cabanas and horses to be used during the hunting competition. Therefore, I had to walk into the garden alone and stay behind Emily. Where was he?
I weaved my way through the many nobles and looked around aimlessly. This was to determine the location of the crown prince. I don’t know where it suddenly appeared from, but my heart was inexplicably excited. Just followed the other family members, should have come together ……
I’m not a madman with no one in sight, but where the members of the Duke’s family are, he shouldn’t kill me.
Discouraged by belated regret. Suddenly came a piercing voice.
“Shame on you. Even though the ban on participation has been lifted, she shouldn’t know where this place is and actually has the face to come in?”
“So to speak. How in the world did Lord Eckhardt let his children be educated ……”
“Oops, ma’am! Don’t say things like that. How bad could the Duke’s family be if they receive an education?”
Whew………
Everywhere I went there were voices scolding me. I frowned and looked around, searching for the source. But couldn’t find it. Because everyone in the garden is looking at me. But then, last year’s superstar made his debut, and so should he.” Despite this thought, it’s indisputable that getting scolded is annoying.
I had just calmly realized the passage or unacceptable situation in which the Crown Prince’s humanity had broken down. There were enemies within and without, and so was Penelope. There was also a reason why irritability led her down the path of defeat.
“Oy! Look at that vulgar dress ………”
“Miss is so shameless ……”
Working in unison with the maids to finalize the dress for my beauty, Emily’s face was sullen. Only today with the dress, already on the fourth taunt received.”
“Those three times you fell down, and now you want to make trouble? Emily.”
I whispered to the maid, in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.” Go get my angstroms.” Emily’s eyes shook.” Yes, Miss! I’ll bring it right away!”
But soon she answered much louder than I did, and turned away. Never say such dreadful things as that, and shiver when the time comes. Seeing her panting and disappearing to the side where the cabana had struck out, I broke into a cannibalistic grin.
Unlike the chattering earlier, the field instantly quieted down.
“Say one more word.”
I raised my chin condescendingly and scanned the area. Guilt was evident in every pupil I encountered, and the panicked way they turned their heads was truly ridiculous.
Even if the only remaining maid was also gone, leaving me alone in the situation, no one would dare to take me so easily.
“Do you guys really not want to be chosen?”
The idea of holding the position of the crown prince was incorporated first. Ten million fortunate that this guy doesn’t seem to be on the back yet. Because I’m not the kind of guy who would give up if I were to see such a look of me if I were here.
I’m a little more relieved, moving to the table in front of the Eckhardt family. Then, sitting on the chair, crossing my legs, I greeted the squire who passed by.
“Hey, come here.”
“Yes? Yes!”
“Bring the wine.”
Finally, topping off the small specimen of the sun in the midst of people’s preconceived notions, there were sharp intakes of breath all around.
There was a knock at the door.
“Miss!”
After some time Emily came with the Onsen Chau box. I don’t know how hard she ran, but she was out of breath as soon as she passed my stone palace.” You worked hard, Emily.”
At my compliment, Emily smiled triumphantly. But not the vile smile I used to see when I woke me up with a needle.
Ta’ang! ″I slammed the case on the table and took out the stone bow. Then inserted the beads as if watching. Grunt, grunt. Gollum, gollum. ……
The only sound in the silent ballroom was the eerie sound of the iron beads mounted in the stone palace.
“Geez! Can someone please advise ……”
“Shouldn’t the guards be called?”
I heard whispers from underneath.
But I didn’t care, even as the crank was turning.
“HA. What are you doing now?!”
Suddenly, the wind exploded overhead. When I looked up, unbeknownst to me, the Duke and his sons had arrived. Their entrance caused a visible sigh of relief to appear around them.
“It seems like we’ve been waiting for a long time. Since we’re listening to everyone, are we simply going to fight against each other?” Leonard asked absurdly.
Puff.
Finally, I did what I had to do and wrapped my crossbow around my back without looking back at him.
“Stay out of it.”
“Do you realize that everyone is watching you right now? I know what kind of shame I’m going to get because of you again…!” (Leonard)
The Duke reminded the guys around him whose voices were getting louder.
Leonard scanned the surroundings and snapped his fingers right next to me .
“…… Do you want to sit on that ridiculous mouth face, you crazy bitch.”
The sound of clenched teeth whispering was creepy. Even if I wanted to, opening the Xiong Zhang Han crossbow on a gorgeous gown was hilarious. But I didn’t answer any questions.
Because even if I said it was a measure to protect myself, they wouldn’t believe me.
“Penelope Eckhardt.”
There was another person who looked at me like a madwoman like this.” This is the gold system that has been unraveling for a year. It’s best not to be reckless.”
“That’s what dad allowed.”
I had no other way to make the best excuse I could. Leonard winked and asked smugly.
“Really, Dad?”
“Kem!”
The look on the glowering Duke’s face gave me a bit of a headache.
Fortunately, he’d rather smack his tongue uncomfortably than say no.
“Isn’t there a noise in the …… banquet hall about not carrying hunting weapons?”
“Don’t make any noise, all sit down.”
“But father! Her antecedents are obvious enough!”
“Aha! You don’t trust your brother like that. Say it’s greatly introspective, and just watch.”
“And Penelope, you too.”
The Duke looked back at me, intimidating me.
“I know that if you’re going to make any more trouble this time, I’m not going to care anymore, whether or not you’re put in the palace prison.”
“Of course! Please believe me, Dad.”
I giggled. Leonard had a lot to say, but eventually shut up and sat roughly to my left.
The look in his eyes at me, who was grinning abominably, was murderous.
“Ephesus. If you’re aggravated, why don’t you get me a recipe too.”
Picking a whole bunch of guys out of it, I was satisfied with the power of the simulator.
Duke well ……
Nice work!
