This is the first time he's experienced it.
It was confusing, but not bad, and special.
So he didn't plan it, but he said he would take Yvonne home after the confrontation.
However, Yvonne coldly rejected his proposal.
The reason is... Because it's a burden.
'Am I the type of burden?'
Yvonne ran away first, and Rudnine, who was left alone in the cafe, was in serious trouble.
He looked back at what was burdening her, but he couldn't figure it out.
He didn't care about the fact that beautiful young girls around him were walking around on purpose, looking at him with a wide look.
He was worried about the back of Yvonne, who was leaving the cafe in a hurry, and the gift that she couldn't bear to give him.
Feeling complicated, he suddenly turned his gaze and looked in the direction of the square.
Yvonne, who had come before the appointment time and was waiting, came into view of the fountain that she was looking at sullenly.
The capital's square fountain was installed to commemorate the greatness of the imperial family of Verbent, who founded the empire.
When Rudnine spotted Yvonne walking toward the bright gold-plated fountain that symbolized the Verbent royal family, he jumped up without realizing it.
Yvonne walked helplessly, stopped in front of the fountain, and looked up at it with a faint gaze.
Her appearance was so pitiful.
Rudnine felt uncomfortable.
There is only one reason why Yvonne would do that.
The reason why she feels sad when she sees the fountain, it is the symbol of the imperial family of Verbent.
Isn't it because Yvonne is reminded of the person she liked so much?
Is the Crown Prince such a good person?
Why is a woman the size of Princess Yvonne Argenthoz hanging herself like that?
The confrontation ended anyway, so his role was over.
But Rudnine frowned, ran straight out of the cafe, and ran to Yvonne.
For he could see what appeared to be the Crown Prince hanging around Yvonne.
Instinctively, he had a bad intuition and ran over.
Before he could get closer, his excellent hearing caught the Prince's words.
Surprisingly, he felt sorry for Yvonne.
It was strange.
Didn't they say that it was the Crown Prince who rejected Yvonne's heart?
However, the people who gathered around him were attacking Yvonne.
"Oh my God. Aren't you too shameless?"
"On the day of the confrontation, you are chasing His Highness the Crown Prince again."
"His Highness must be tired of it."
Chasing him
Clearly, when he saw it, the Crown Prince deliberately approached Yvonne first.
Yvonne looked surprised, so it seemed unexpected.
'Why does the Princess let people misunderstand?'
The Princess who fell in love looked at the Crown Prince and didn't seem to care about the chatter of the people around her.
Rudnine was even angrier with himself.
She is a great wizard, and she is also a villain.
When you hear such gossip, shouldn't you put up with it and warn the square with a big blow of magic like a fireball?
He had met her only an hour earlier, but she was a mysterious woman.
So Rudnine glared at those who cursed and misunderstood Yvonne and called out loud.
Fortunately, Yvonne followed him away from the Crown Prince's side.
By the way.
"In fact... It was so painful to be with Your Highness."
In front of Argenthoz's carriage, Yvonne covered her mouth and cried.
Rudnine's eyes narrowed as Yvonne's sad face resurfaced, her eyes drooping and her eyes moist and wet.
He nervously squeezed the windowsill even tighter.
'Is the Crown Prince so good? I don't think the Crown Prince is a good enough man to hold love for so long.'
He almost told her at that moment. "Yvonne needs to improve her eyes for men," but he held back.
It seemed like useless meddling.
As Yvonne said earlier, it could be 'just show'.
It is just an agreed play, a public opponent who will only meet for one day.
'...Do the Princess like blondes?'
Yvonne, who had been stiff and did not budge at him the entire time they met, had different expressions when she faced Prince Adrian.
A look that seems to force her to endure sadness and pity.
It's too much to show that kind of expression in front of him.
Rudnine, who had been casually fiddling with his dark hair, turned his head as Ant approached.
"Duke, then I will leave for the territory tomorrow as scheduled."
Rudnine looked at Ant, explaining tomorrow's schedule, pondered for a moment, and then quickly changed his plans.
"No, I stay in the capital."
"Yes?"
The Duke, who had made a strong plan to return to the territory of Iels unconditionally, easily changed his words, and Ant was taken aback.
Rudnine gave another order without explaining why.
"You should secretly find out if Princess Argenthoz owes her a large sum of money."
"Debt... Do you mean?"
Ant was taken aback by the unexpected order, but he was nervous because of Rudnine's momentum.
"Yes. Never, not to be exposed. Quietly so that even Duke Argenthoz will not notice."
"Yes, I understand."
Ant replied quickly.
Rudnine was naturally friendly in his handsome appearance and kind-hearted, but he was very cool when he held a sword or performed his duties as a Duke.
Moreover, he did not tolerate mistakes.
They had a friendly and comfortable relationship, but they couldn't joke or ask questions when giving work orders like this.
Ant quickly left the room to carry out Rudnine's orders.
Rudnine, who was left alone, thought about Yvonne's strange behavior of asking him to lend her money as soon as he saw her.
Yvonne still couldn't forget the Crown Prince, but she was forced to meet him.
Princess Argenthoz was grumpy when she saw him, impulsively asking him to lend her money.
However, even so, it is not easy to mention the exact amount of two hundred billion gold.
'It's not even a hundred billion, it's just two hundred billion... That's strange.'
Clearly, Yvonne is currently in financial trouble.
It is a problem that requires two hundred billion gold.
The Duke of Argenthoz is one of the richest people in the empire.
"Why would a Princess of such a family need extra money?"
He had a gut feeling that he needed to stay in the capital and find out.
And he stayed in the capital because he couldn't properly handle the Duke of Argenthoz's request to help Yvonne forget the Crown Prince.
Rudnine excused his whim.
"Well, it's sweet."
He drank the tea with ten sugar cubes as it was, and frowned.
Normally, he would have been frightened, but today the sweet tea on his tongue wasn't so bad.
After taking two more sips of tea, Rudnine rubbed his forehead and muttered.
"Did you think you would make a bracelet with more precious gemstones than the Thiels bracelet?"
He didn't think much of Yvonne until they met, so he prepared the Thiels bracelet just because she was a wizard.
However, he regretted it in hindsight.
Yvonne was a woman who would look very good with gorgeous jewelry.
Rudnine, who never imagined that Yvonne was crying with joy as she stroked Thiels' bracelet in her room, rubbed her forehead roughly.
Next, he will surely give gifts with gorgeous and precious jewels.
For some reason, he felt strange when he met Yvonne, but Rudnine couldn't stop.
The sun had completely set, and darkness had fallen, and the owner of the Duke of Iels' mansion stared nervously in the direction of the Argenthoz townhouse.
'What are you doing, Princess?'
Curious, he kept pulling his neck out of the window, and his shoulders stiffened.
It's a strange day, really.
***
Rumors that Princess Yvonne Argenthoz had a public confrontation with Duke Rudnine of lels at Dailing, a high-end café in the square, spread throughout the capital.
The same was true of Kaiser Argenthoz's office in the capital.
"Haha. I'm seeing you."
The Duke of Argenthoz deliberately kept his henchman wizard at the scene of the confrontation and received a real-time report on his daughter's confrontation.
The mage, who was a henchman, reported that Duke Iels was quite distant, gentle, and a decent person.
'After all.'
The Duke of Argenthoz grinned and was confident that his plan had succeeded.
Now that Yvonne knew that there was a man like Duke Iels, he laughed even louder, wishing that she would forget about the Crown Prince and live a bright and joyful life like before.
Until then, he was satisfied.
However, a henchman sent an urgent message.
Prince Adrian appeared and said that the three of them had a three-way meeting in the middle of the square.
"What?!"
The Duke of Argenthoz freaked out all his work and went straight back to the townhouse.
The Duke met Barden at the main gate as he went home panting.
Barden asked, his eyes wide.
"Did my father hear it?"
"You too?"
The two men's eyes were filled with anger and anxiety at the same time.
They hurried into the mansion and looked for Yvonne first.
"Yvonne!"
When the butler told them that Yvonne was resting in her room, they hurriedly ran up to Yvonne's room and opened the door.
She was so heartbroken that she slumped down in an armchair by the window, watching the setting sun.
Yvonne turned her head when she felt their presence and said in a weak voice.
"...Father?"
Good lord.
He wondered if she was crying alone, but her eyes were moist and wet.
Barden clenched his fists in anger.
"Damn, Prince, you made a strange noise. Go near the place where you deliberately confronted another man? You are touching a child who is just trying to get her mind!"
The Duke of Argenthoz was upset and distressed to see his daughter hurting after hearing the Prince's harsh words.
'What is my child lacking?'
When Yvonne saw them, she hurriedly got up from her seat.
She calmly greeted the two of them who were swallowing their anger and anger.
"Have you been back, Dad? My brother also had a hard day today."
Barden thought it would be better for Yvonne to have a temper like she used to.
When he saw Yvonne smiling at him, he gritted his teeth and replied.
"...If it's hard, tell us it's hard."
Yvonne's eyes widened, and she shook her head.
"Is it hard? Tell you what I did. How hard it is to work! My father and brother are suffering so much."
Yvonne says they did a good job when they came back from work.
When Yvonne, who had never worked outside before, looked tired, as if she fully understood that they had worked overtime for a hundred days in a row, the Duke of Argenthoz felt like he was about to lose his reason.
Yvonne, who has never worked overtime, can't understand them!
