TVOTP - Chapter 29




He immediately broke his vow not to cling to Yvonne or meddle with her anymore.

He strode straight toward Yvonne.

His heart was pounding, his blood was pumping, and he was excited.

A messy life where nothing goes according to his will.

But he's never felt as alive as he does now.

***

'What, my ears are tickling?'

As I rode in the carriage, I yawned loudly and scratched my ear sockets.

'Is Adrian insulting me? Well, whether you swear or not.'

It didn't matter if he was talking about my backstory.

Today, I decided to do market research on the Rhodia pool processing method, so I don't have time to worry about that.

'We have to hurry.'

Realizing that I might not have as much time as I thought, I hurriedly went out to the Nasiel district with the escort knights I had taken to the race shop the other day.

However, I suddenly became irritated, got out of the carriage, and stared in the direction of the imperial palace for a long time.

Perhaps by now, a tea party hosted by Cordelia is being held in the palace.

'He's a bad guy, just right. A cunning and sunny, bad guy.'

I cursed Adrian in my heart, and I felt a little better.

'Hmm? I yawned so loudly that I cried.'

As I was wiping the tears from the corners of my eyes, I suddenly felt a presence.

"Yvonne."

"Huh?"

This voice is...!

No, this heavenly voice that looks handsome just by listening to the voice?!

I turned my head and was so dazzled that I had to close my eyes for a while.

I guess my eyeball was overly blessed, and I was shocked.

I calmed down the swirling butterfly inside me and slowly opened my eyes again.

In front of me stood Rudnine, who was so beautiful that it was almost breathtaking.

'Oh my God?!'

Duke Rudnine, Duke of Iels, I can't believe I happened to meet my former opponent here like this.

"Oh, Duke?"

I stammered and called his name.

Rudnine turned his head to look toward the Imperial Palace, then strode over to me.

And... Aside from all the rhetoric, the word "cool" is enough.

I don't know why, but his eyes are very attractive, as if something unpleasant has happened.

'Oh, it's really too deadly!'

I wanted to grab my chest with the thrill of my heart, but I could barely hold back.

At that moment, I heard the young women making a fuss when they found Rudnine in the distance on the Nasiel Earth.

"Hey, he's Duke Iels!"

"Wow...!"

"You're so cool!"

I looked at them with envy, but when they made eye contact with me, they freaked out and ran away.

"Oh, no. What are we going to do?"

"Ugh!"

...But I'm going to cry.

I was no longer angry; I felt sorry for it and clicked my tongue.

"...Did you even shed tears? Really, did you deliberately come out to the Nasiel district to look at the imperial palace?"

I couldn't hear his words well as I looked at the backs of the fleeing young children in vain.

I hurriedly asked again.

"Yes? I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you well. What did you say?"

Rudnine, who was looking at me with tears, smiled softly.

And he walked one step closer to me.

'Why are you doing this?'

The distance between him and me narrowed to the point where I could hear the sound of breathing.

My heart, which was running out of my mind, and the people around me became even noisier.

...I will omit what they say.

I'm tired of it.

"Yvonne."

"Yes, Rudnine."

I can clearly see his dark eyes, which look darker than when we first met.

Thump.

Oh. Heart, don't bother me!

My heart was beating my instincts, but Rudnine opened his mouth.

"I was dumped by Yvonne, but I'm very happy and excited to see you again."

'What? Do you know!!! It is a sound that anyone will misunderstand!

I didn't understand why he said this.

I was confused, not knowing how to react, and was engulfed in chaos.

Rudnine reached out to me.

'What does this mean?'

I didn't show much reaction and stared blankly at his big, handsome hand.

Rudnine whispered slowly in a voice mixed with a smile.

"You have a promise, and I heard it."

"Yes?"

"Didn't you turn down my date request because of an important commitment?"

He stares at me intently and asks me seriously.

My face suddenly turned bright red like a child who had been caught lying.

"Oh, that, that's it. The commitment is over..."

I broke out in a cold sweat and laughed awkwardly.

'But, it was all a white lie for you!'

I was thinking about how to explain this situation, and he asked with a bright smile.

"So, have you completely completed your commitment?"

"Yes... That's right?"

"...I see. I'm glad you did."

"Why are you smiling so brightly...?

He looked several times better than before.

Rudnine, who is so beautiful with a single smile, continued.

"So, isn't it a fate that we met like this? So, if Yvonne has time, will you give me the honor of walking with you for a while?"

"...With me?"

"Yes, please. Princess Yvonne Argenthoz."

Rudnine's face as he made a polite request was not a joke, but a sincere one.

Good lord.

I'm not dreaming about it now, am I?

Rudnine asked me out on a date again.

'Where is this, who am I...'

I was confused.

The after-sales application letter I sent yesterday was sent because I couldn't help but feel threatened by my father.

'Now... Why the hell is this?'

I carefully scanned Rudnine up and down.

Rudnine, the young and noble Duke Iels of the Empire, is still surprisingly handsome and handsome today.

'Calm down. Roll your head.'

Why is this man so affectionate towards me?

The favor shown to me by a man who was so unrealistically perfect no longer felt romantic.

'What is it? Hidden mastermind? Or a ploy or a political purpose?'

There were so many twists and turns in the novel, and Yvonne actually had a strange, rare disease.

I was so nervous that my head went cold.

Why is Rudnine Iels approaching me?

Is there any other reason for approaching me like this?

'I think that's right.'

I squinted, looked at Rudnine suspiciously, and replied as hard as I could.

"The commitment is over, but I'm not done here in the Nasiel district..."

"I'll wait!"

"...Yes?"

Has 0.1 second passed now?

I was surprised by his quick reply, and my eyes rolled blankly with a dumb face.

Rudnine smiled and replied again, not embarrassed.

"I can wait. As many as you want."

"Ah, well, that's right."

I stuttered like an idiot.

'What is your head cold?'

I was very suspicious of Rudnine's intention to approach me, but when I looked at that face, the suspicion I had in my heart disappeared like smoke.

I was in great trouble.

Even if he strangled me without any reason, I would reply. Oh, yes, of course I'll die, and I felt like I would die happily.

'I'm so crazy...?'

I clasped my hands together and regained my senses.

For a man, humanity and kindness are the most important.

However, Rudnine was a terrifying man who destroyed that belief and made everyone feel embarrassed

"Well, please wait at the Dying Cafe we met the other day. I'll be there in an hour."

In the end. I made a promise.

'...I'm disappointed in myself...'

But after all, I was also a human. So I was defeated by Rudnine's passive skill!

I admire Rudnine's great skills in various ways, but he suddenly shows off a new technique.

'Why, why is this!'

He stared at me intently, shrugged his shoulders, and looked like a puppy in the rain.

"Rudnine?"

"Yvonne..."

It's a tremendous technique that will make the other person's heart sink.

Rudnine continued with a rain-hitting puppy expression.

"Thank you for your permission. By the way, if you don't excuse me... Can't I go with Yvonne?"

"Like me?"

"Yes, I want to know a lot about Yvonne. I will follow you calmly. Quiet enough not to be disturbed."

"Yes? Why, why?"

It was difficult to understand, so I asked the reason again.

Rudnine, who looked troubled, glanced around for a moment, then lowered his voice and whispered.

"Well, actually... Since I am only in the territory, the capital is very unfamiliar. I want to go with Yvonne and learn the geography of the downtown area of the capital."

'Oh, that's right.'

I finally agreed.

This reason is more valid.

I didn't trust him at all when he said he wanted to know about me.

I nodded at his whisper, narrowed my eyes, and asked again.

"...But. Rudnine, do you really need to figure out the geography with someone like me? It would be better to go with someone more knowledgeable about the geography of the capital."

Despite my serious advice, Rudnine looked even sadder.

And he said something shocking.

"It's an excuse I made because I wanted to be with Yvonne... Can't you stop pretending not to know and accept it? Please, please."

"Yes???"

The words he said with a simple smile were not fresh at all.

'What are you talking about? What's the real reason?'

You made an excuse because you wanted to be with me.

At that time, I could even hear the escort knight standing behind me muttering. 

"Oh my God, our Princess is so cruel."

Hey, escort knight!

I need to stab him in the side one more time to come to his senses.

I raised my eyes triangularly and glared at the escort knight, who quietly defended my side and appealed to my weakness.
