'What?'
What did I hear just now?
Yvonne's amazing hearing isn't broken.
It was the first time I had seen Adrian with my own eyes, and I was very embarrassed by this coincidence.
I never tried to get close to him.
Since it was the male protagonist, Prince Adrian, who I didn't want to get involved with. I didn't think we would meet by chance.
Because Adrian hates Yvonne so much that he hates her.
But even with that, I was stunned to see Adrian smiling in front of me.
'What did I get wrong?'
According to memory....
Crown Prince Adrian was disgusted with Yvonne and said that she did not wear Yvonne's iconic silver and purple clothes or jewelry.
"Isn't it?"
"...Yes?"
I didn't understand his question again, so I frowned.
No, by the way.
Why is the Crown Prince not in the Imperial Palace but in the square of the Nasiel District?
Did you come out for an inspection?
Or... Did he take Cordelia out shopping again?
'No way.'
I was in trouble when he ran into the heroine, so I hurriedly looked around, but no woman was supposed to be Cordella.
There were only a few people besides Adrian who appeared to be the Prince's henchmen.
Why are you talking nonsense all the way here?
I squinted.
Adrian was silently staring at me with a strange expression.
Why are you staring at me like that?
I couldn't lose either, so I took a look at Adrian, the male protagonist of this novel.
He was obviously tall and handsome, but...
Maybe because I had just received the perfect matchmaker, I didn't feel a special aura even though he was the male protagonist.
'Hmm? It's strange.'
As I was examining Adrian, he crossed his arms and swept me down slowly.
I hated the way he looked at me so horribly that I wanted to run away right away.
"Haha, Princess. It's useless to look at me so sadly."
'...Sad?'
I am stunned.
I don't understand why he feels this way.
Why do I look at you sadly?
Now I felt bad about why he was holding me and talking to me like this.
Because when I actually saw Adrian, I clearly remembered how he had treated Yvonne.
"The Crown Prince really hated Yvonne."
Would it be understandable if the attitude I see now is the most finite one?
The negative emotions that Adrian has shown to Yvonne so far, such as disgust, hatred, contempt, etc.
Yvorine was hurt.
It was the male protagonist's action to cut off the evil woman who had a crush on him, but Yvonne was still sincere.
'My heart hurts.'
It was Yvonne's heart, but now the pain of her past unrequited love, which has become mine, sprouts up like a thorn and torments me.
I wasn't happy to see him like this, but since he was the Crown Prince, I greeted him calmly and politely.
"I see Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince."
And I quickly said goodbye again.
"...Then, I'll get in the way, so I'll go."
"You're going? In front of me now?"
"...Yes"
He still seems to think that I like him..
Looking at the face of my (former) crush, stained with absurdity, I was so annoyed.
'I have to tell you clearly so that I can come to my senses.'
There was a commotion around me, and when I looked around, I saw people huddled around him and me, whispering.
The Prince and the Princess chase him.
I'm sure it's going to be another noisy scandal, so why didn't he run away and hold me like this?
'Ha!! It's too troublesome.'
I'm sure rumors spread that I was chasing Adrian as soon as the confrontation was over.
I hated that so much.
I don't want to play such a sloppy role anymore.
"Your Highness."
I took this opportunity to look directly at Adrian and speak up to be sure.
"I have erased Your Highness from my mind. I'm sorry for that. I will try to live quietly so as not to disturb Your Highness in the future."
"...What did you say just now?"
Seeing his hardened expression was both exhilarating and ridiculous.
'Why are you making a fuss now?'
I deliberately laughed even more single.
"I knew there were a lot of better and better people. I realized that the more I met a man, the better my eyes became."
As I concluded, I pulled up one corner of his mouth and smiled wickedly.
Adrian was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe it.
I'm not lying.
To be honest, I've been watching a guy like Rudnine before, and it's only natural that my eyes are so high.
Apparently, I didn't love and get married here.
Crown Prince Adrian looks like an ordinary man... It's wrong to love someone with excitement.
"Now... What did the Princess say to His Highness?
"...Oh my God."
Adrian wasn't the only one who couldn't believe what I said, and the audience was silent with their mouths wide open.
It may seem impolite, but I'm known as a bad woman and a mad dog.
'Well, that's about it. It's cute.'
But I can't stand this atmosphere any longer.
I bowed and tried to leave Adrian, who was as hard as a statue, and walked out of the Place de la Hollan.
"Wait, Princess Argenthoz."
"...?"
As I turned to walk. Adrian grabbed my wrist and called me over.
The look on his face was very absurd.
Hey, I'm a little confused, too.
The guy who was horrified just by Yvonne's gaze touching me is now grabbing my wrist?
"Haha."
I was speechless because I was dumbfounded, and instead, I snorted.
Then Adrian raised his eyebrows, wondering if he was quite displeased.
"Princess. Are you laughing now?"
"Yes, it's funny, Your Highness. There are many eyes on you, but if you catch a mad dog, won't your Highness's reputation be reduced? You were always worried about that."
Adrian realized what I said, and he let go of my wrist in surprise.
But it's like putting garbage there.
Oh my. I felt so bad.
Adrian was not a child of the Empress, so he always cared about his reputation and legitimacy.
This is because he was the son of the Emperor's favorite concubine, and when his mother died, the current Empress adopted him as his adopted son and became the Crown Prince.
That's why he hated Yvonne, a villainous and crazy dog, even more than being his companion.
It was a bit funny when I thought about it.
'Come to think of it, a guy with a severe complex at birth openly defends and loves Cordelia, who has been labeled as an illegitimate Princess. Weird, inconsistent.'
I glared at him, and Adrian coughed heavily.
"Hmm. I mean, I, the Crown Prince, didn't let it go, but I went first. You say you're studying etiquette these days, but you're still lacking a lot, Princess."
"How did you know that I was studying etiquette?"
The guy who knew about my private life asked me a question in horror, but Adrian lifted his chin very arrogantly and smiled bitterly.
"Didn't the Princess ask me to know?"
You what? Ha ha.
The yellow head is also starting to look like a lump of butter.
"The Princess changed your ways. I know that you want to be officially chosen as the Crown Princess and start studying."
" What crazy misunderstanding is this crazy butter making?'
I ground my teeth and denied it.
"Ah, Your Highness."
"Haha. Princess, I'm sorry for your efforts, but it's better to give up now."
You bastard.
Did I come all the way here to say this?
I was angry, but I decided not to waste my energy in vain.
Instead, I let out a deep sigh and raised my hands.
"Yes, I see. Yes, yes, I give up. Your Highness, I have completely given up on Your Highness."
The answer he wants is decided.
So I just soullessly repeated the answer that the pumpkin butter wanted like a parrot
Adrian, who had been silent for a moment, grinned again.
"What is giving up... No, you didn't. Princess, what if you even bring in the innocent Duke of Iels to get my attention, isn't yiu pitiful?"
'What, you scumbag.'
I was stunned.
Why do I want attention? I really don't care about you as much as my fingernails.
It was very determined that I was the seed of interest.
He must be mad to think that I deliberately confronted the Duke of Iels to get his attention!
'Shall I ask Barden to make me a bomb?'
I remembered what Barden had said the other day that he would make a bomb artifact as if he were passing by.
I cried inwardly and swallowed my anger.
I really wanted to throw a bomb on that sunny but shameless face.
If I had to use magic again, I would like to scold that unlucky Prince once and for all.
He is a thug.
Or should I sneak a flank attack? Show me how strong Yvonne is?
'Damn. If only he weren't the Crown Prince...!'
Anger rose over the foolish and unwitting Crown Prince, who was laughing at me.
The moment Adrian opened his mouth to say something nonsense, I suddenly felt a fresh scent behind me.
What is this familiar yet deadly scent?
"Yvonne. Here you are."
Before I could think about who it was, a pleasant bass called me.
"...Duke?"
I turned around and saw the Duke of Iels, standing there as I expected.
He smiled at me, then changed his gaze and stared at Adrian in silence.
Rudnine's eyes looked at Prince Adrian and felt very cold.
I was surprised that he was so different from the friendly man I had just met.
Before I could fathom the strange difference, Rudnine stepped forward and greeted Adrian politely.
"I see Your Highness, the Crown Prince. This is Rudnine Iels."
“Duke of lels?
Adrian looked dumbfounded.
'Why are you doing that? Are you surprised that he is so handsome when a man sees you?'
I felt like I was going to burst out laughing, but I held back.
When Rudnine appeared, the square became even noisier.
"Three, my God. Is there a Princess of Argenthoz between His Highness the Crown Prince and Duke lels?"
"Could it be a love triangle?"
"...My god. What kind of weird things do you say? The Duke of Iels has come to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
They seem to suspect that I am going to attack Adrian.
