Chapter 60.
While dodging like that, I felt someone sitting on the right side of the empty.” Do what is expected of you in your position.”
Turning my head after the cool voice. Derrick, who had unknowingly occupied my side, whispered in a voice only I could hear.
“Any more discrediting of the family will end in jail.” Across the room, the Duke took his seat, and the entire Eckhardt family took their place. As a result, I was caught between the two male masters who hated me.
“Why ……?”
Alarmed at the unexpected situation, I alternately looked to the side. Why did it become left x right x?
They were on either side, and even though the Crown Prince couldn’t just come and kill me, I wasn’t happy about it at all.
Not only the crossbow, but also the fork, the knife, and the hunting rapier that the men wear. Everywhere there were things that could get me killed in a dangerous way, and on the contrary, even the two sides were occupied by the damn guys!
“No good!”
From the very beginning, there was a bad feeling creeping up on my feet.
“You’ve had too much to drink, Crown Prince!”
The bad feeling turned into reality. Hearing a loud noise, startled, his sight turned to see a huge new brother, stepping in fast on the red carpet that was laid right in the middle.
[Favorability 2%].
Blonde hair fluttered brilliantly against the dim night sky.
In my eyes, the white characters are always the first to come in, only that guy I saw the glittering hair first.
It’s the enemy who stares blankly at the glittering blonde hair. Probably sensing the sight, suddenly, he shushed in this direction and turned his head.” Ho!”
Being about to face the crimson eyes, I slumped down on the table, my upper body motionless. I felt the “left x right x” looking on in surprise at this action, but with no intention of helping me.
Game! Please let me get out of here alive! Please!!!”
That was the time to pray to Game who cursed together every day.” …… His Majesty the Emperor has gone to the south to recuperate.” The voice of the Crown Prince came from the distance.” This hunting competition is hosted by me.”
The opening ceremony began. Surprisingly, he actually spoke in human language. I braced my prone upper body as if nothing had happened.
I saw the Crown Prince who was sitting squarely on a golden chair on a single phase. And then, underneath, there were people in unfamiliar clothes. It seemed like a royal family from another country. The Crown Prince’s eyes fortunately didn’t touch me. I let out a sigh of relief.
“This hunt, with VIPs from friendly countries also attending, will be an even fiercer competition. There are also many unusual animals brought from other countries, so please enjoy yourself.” The Crown Prince, characteristically, recited his opening remarks briefly as well, and then immediately left. But at a table caught him that way by the ankles.” Your Highness! Your Royal Highness, but I have a question to ask.”
I wanted to grab that damned guy who dared to ask the Crown Prince a question, it’s 80% that he doesn’t want to live. I gave him a hard stare.
“Ah, Marquis Ellen. It’s been a long time.”
Writer Ellen Hu was the only daughter of Princess Huang. Even so, Grandpa had the so-called courtesy, and the Crown Prince was furious.
“What do you want to ask?”
“Emperor, why didn’t the Empress and His Royal Highness the Second Prince participate in this hunting competition?” In this way, it seemed that all the seats at the top of the altar were prepared for royalty, but the only one sitting there was the Crown Prince.
A dangerous smile appeared on the Crown Prince’s lips at Marquis Ellen’s small inquiry.” Like His Majesty, the Imperial Consort also seems to be very unwell. There was no response to the invitation either.”
“Uh, you were fine when I saw you not too long ago, and suddenly you’re not feeling well?”
“I don’t know. I don’t want to see her hosting the hunting competition as if she’s a vase.” Callisto shrugged his shoulders with an air of calmness. Marquis Ellen’s face froze dramatically.” That, then where is the second prince ……”
“My only brother, during the hunting tournament, he cried and said : “I’ll miss His Majesty Jung Yang Jahin.””
“…………”
“Children who don’t want to fail and play tricks should be around their parents. Aren’t they?”
“The second prince is the age where even empty words can’t be said to be children.”
Marquis Ellen seemed to know something. The crown prince also gave back the shame of the second prince’s birth party.
“Haha! That’s right!”
At that moment, cacophonous laughter erupted from one side. The family that supported the crown prince’s participation in the war. In front of the Gentiles who could see it, the Crown Prince who trampled the silence was a complete predator no matter who looked at it.
Originally, the battle of the royal prestige was as intense as the battle of the dogs, but this is a romance simulation game, so there are not many of these scenes ……
It’s such a weird feeling to actually be one of the characters in the game and experience it for yourself. I looked up at him blankly for a moment. He suddenly twitched his pupils.
“Ho.”
There was no avoidance, eyes met. Hurriedly downward, but late. I noticed the corners of this guy’s mouth turn up.

The crown prince’s head shines.
” Hello.”
The uneasiness that creeps in from afar spreads throughout my body.
The Crown Prince who locked eyes with me for a moment immediately turned his head to look at Marquis Ellen.
“I seem to have answered adequately enough, Marquis.” Wordless pressure traveled here.” Yes, yes …… Thank you, thank you, Your Highness.”
Marquis Ellen had no choice but to turn red with humiliation and lower his head.
I expected him to leave his seat, for now all restraints on the Crown Prince’s ankles were gone. Ani, I fervently hope you will return. But–
“I had only planned to go to …… after the opening members.”
“I changed my mind.”
As if they had found an interesting toy, the bright red eyes pinned on me sparkled.
Okay, so here’s where I am now – x left, x right, on the Crown Prince.
I want to cry.
The Crown Prince who had said his opening line got out of his seat. This seems to be to talk and laugh with the nobles who support me.
But for some reason, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s stepping down and gradually drawing closer to the side I’m on.
Just in time, the Duke also left to greet the other nobles.
“…… Miss. Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
Wasn’t acting too left unsettled. Emily asked worriedly.
“It’s okay.”
I tried my best to act as if nothing had happened. Then immediately changed horses.” No, Emily. Can you get me some water?”
The water glass was empty due to the urgency of the heart and the continuous filling of water. I could call the squire who passed by, but I’m afraid of attracting the prince’s attention even with that action right now.” Do you need me to ask if there’s any chamomile tea for you?”
Emily whispered. Chamomile was a really effective tea. She seemed to be really watching my face closely.” I’d appreciate it if I could.”
I smiled faintly and nodded. A corner of my heart warmed. It was shortly after Emily left the ballroom. Leonard suddenly rose from his seat.
“Uh, going somewhere?”
I wondered, suddenly grabbing his sleeve. He looked down at my hand and frowned.
“…… to say hi to my friends before I come back.”
“Do you have to go? Just stay with me ……”
“Hey, are you crazy?!”
He timidly tugged at the sleeve I had grabbed. Then quickly walked out.
[Favorability 22%]
The top of his distant head shone. The favorability that had dropped slightly a moment ago rose again, but I wasn’t happy about it at all.
So far, two of the shields have disappeared. My uneasiness rises further. You’re all I have now!
I pleaded to the right as the only one left on the table was Derrick. But by the time I grabbed Leonard, he was ready to leave with someone.” …… I’d like to even talk about the causes we talked about the day before, is that okay? The gathered members were in attendance then.”
“That’s fine.”
Derrick followed the man who had greeted him and left without looking back.
“Don’t! Please don’t leave me!”
Unlike Leonard, there wasn’t even time to grab hold. I was instantly left alone at the table. The useful shield membranes were gone, exposed to a crisis of death. Looking around, people were gathered in twos and threes, building friendships. There was no one near me except the Crown Prince.
“What to do ……”
That’s when the bewildered face looked east. Suddenly there was something that caught the eye. Not in the form of dresses worn by noble children, but in the radish where women wearing unique forms of clothes were gathered.
There were those who wore bewitching clothes that looked impervious to the eyes, and there were those who were wrapped in dark-colored cloth from head to toe, revealing only their eyes. On the other hand, there were also women dressed in clothing that had an oriental feel to it.
Other countries, to be exact, the royals and nobles who came from the country that was defeated and became a vassal state. At that time, one of the women dressed in black took out a white ball that was only a soccer ball from a small cage.
What was that?
It had an opaque, smooth surface and large eyes that took up half of its face like swollen bubblegum. In addition, it was a rare ewe bird with no sunyi and long, slender legs like a chicken.
“Is releasing animals brought from other countries as prey one of them?” This is the first time I’ve seen an unfamiliar creature, but it’s cute walking around. The call of that unfamiliar life form oozed out from between the tiny goat teeth sticking out of its beak.
“Omg, that’s so cute ……” I don’t think I’m the only one who thought that, but the other Eiko’s eyes also glanced that way. That was momentary.
