Crowning My Feral Prince

“Awesome?”

 

Leone widened her eyes. A happy face, surprised eyes… Now she knew that there was not an innocent puppy in there, but a smart and sneaky wolf. But every time he made that innocent face and clearly showed his emotions, her heart would beat violently. She guessed he had a bit of a bad taste. Those clean, pure eyes that seem to know nothing, make her heart flutter when she looked at them blindly… Was this because she still had the habit of treating Leone like a puppy? Or maybe she had a problem.

 

‘Let’s worry about it later.’

 

“Yeah, it’s really cool. I worked hard to decorate today, but I’m discouraged.”

 

“What are you talking about, Trixie? How beautiful you are now. The dress suits you really well.”

 

Leone did his best to praise her. As always, with eyes filled with kindness.

 

“Thank you. But you’re prettier.”

 

“I… Pretty? It’s not a compliment humans typically use for men.”

 

Leone laughed as if it was fun.

 

“What do you know? You’re a wolf.”

 

“It’s both. I’m also not interested in the obvious language that humans use.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Yes, that’s right.”

 

“Okay. You’re pretty, Leone.”

 

She meant it when she said it was pretty. He was cool, sexy, and had a masculine scent, but if you just looked at him, he was so infinitely beautiful that people naturally said he was pretty.

 

“You today… If you do this and enter with me, it will be difficult because you will be met with jealous looks rather than those who are checking and curious about who I am.”

 

She let the Marquis’s outfit, which was pitch black from head to toe, lead to the misconception that it was her taste, but I had no idea that he would come dressed in pitch black like that. Leone said he was going to disband the imperial family, but just seeing this made me want to stop him from destroying it. A prince who looks so good at conquering things. She felt like shouting that the people would absolutely love it.

 

“Conquest is really good…”

 

Those who chose Leone’s outfits were always careful and serious. Because every time she stood in front of others, she was tormented by the desire to show off Leone’s bright and gorgeous appearance even more clearly. As a result, conquest was often pushed back. A prince could wear a uniform at any time, but if you think about it the other way around, it was clothes that ‘can be worn later and at any time.’ The choice of Leone’s clothing team, which had now put off the option of conquest, felt regrettable. Lou must have regretted seeing this today. A suit was nice, but Leone’s appearance in uniform… This was so incredibly precious. She figured that if Leone ever wore a livery, he would wear the all-white version. Because it was a color that complimented his white skin, golden hair, and purple eyes well. But how could he pull off such a black outfit so well?

 

Beautiful. It was as if the pitch-black night sky had been engraved on Leone. It was beautiful itself.

 

“You like it, right?”

 

“Huh! Of course. It’s so cool, Leone.”

 

“I am… Because I don’t know the standards of beauty. I thought it would be immature to praise Trixie after seeing what she had done. Trixie is always so pretty in my eyes.”

 

“Hehe.”

 

His praise felt good and tickled, so I let out a strange laugh without realizing it. Leone gently touched her cheek.

 

“So, to make up for my inexperience, I tried to make Trixie feel satisfied when she saw me. Of course, it wasn’t my effort.”

 

“Whew.”

 

She was so happy that her heart was getting sore. It’s so good that she even sigh. Leone held out his arm. She glanced at the people around her and placed her arm on top of his arm. Just as the maids who decorated me were professionals, the others were also professionals. She, who had been following behind Leone until recently, stood next to her and walked side by side, but she followed us without a change in expression. She could see the sun setting beyond the window. The sky, which gradated from blue to pink, was like an oil painting. Today’s banquet was scheduled to be held in the Ivory Palace, which was far from the Emperor’s Palace and had a beautiful banquet hall. It was said that the palace’s banquet hall, made entirely of white marble, would be decorated with white flowers, various silks, and lamps of various shapes. They said there would be fireworks late at night. The fireworks display was supported by Count Petrine. He must have been feeling resentful of the large fireworks that could not be set off due to an accident before, so he was very quick to rescue them. It was a little chilly outside the Emperor’s Palace. It was worth it since fall was passing by. A maid following her placed a shawl on my shoulders. It was a white shawl, but it was quite thick and warm.

 

“Trixie.”

 

“Oh, yes.”

 

They decided to take a carriage from the Emperor’s Palace to the Ivory Palace. Leone, who was standing in front of the carriage, took my hand and wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up easily and putting her in the carriage.

 

“Ugh, I’m a little nervous.”

 

As she sat in the carriage and set off, she felt even more strange. she couldn’t believe she actually entered while holding Leone’s hand. She couldn’t believe it. And in the future… 

 

‘I can’t believe I’m going to get rid of all of this.’

 

She heard this story this morning, but it felt like she heard it a year ago. It felt so strange.

 

“When we arrive, we will first enter, receive greetings from the Margrave, and then go to sit at the head table. Then Adler will come to say hello-”

 

“Sleep… Kahn. Mr. Adler… Come, that’s right… I forgot.”

 

“It’s been a while since I went on vacation, but I quickly forgot… It was true that we weren’t that close.”

 

Leone looked a little surprised. It was a joke so serious that it seemed serious. She lightly slapped the back of his hand.

 

“No, I was just distracted by the stories I heard from you this morning!”

 

“Ah… It did.”

 

“No, that’s not important. I told Adler that we would enter together…? Leone. We discussed it in advance, right? Yes?”

 

The impact of a name with only three letters was significant. If Adler saw her, how would he react? Wouldn’t they immediately turn on the lights and run to her and scream? She immediately remembered the moment she was caught standing in front of the couple’s hot spring at Stud. At that time, the anger Adler was emitting was enormous. That polite person even spoke informally… A chill ran down her spine.

 

“No. I didn’t do it. If I tell you, they will stop me, and if I face opposition, it will be a waste of time.”

 

Unlike her, who was so nervous that her legs started shaking, Leone was very calm.

 

“Leone! The silencing should have been done to Adler, not to our parents! Oh, what should I do!”

 

“Hmm. It’s fine.”

 

“What…! What!”

 

“I asked Adler to silence someone who would be more effective than me.”

 

“Huh? Who?”

 

“Adler’s lover. Melody.”

 

Melody was friendly toward the romantic relationship between me and Leone. But did Leone know that?

 

“Uh? Was she that friendly with him?”

 

“No. She only said hello at the welcoming ceremony.”

 

“…What did she say then, Melody?”

 

Leone looked at her and she smiled.

 

“All I could say was, if you need help with Trixie, let me know.”

 

“He’s quite… You’re special.”

 

She seemed to be a Cupid-like person who liked other people’s love stories and wanted to step in and help. She liked it too, but not as much as Melody. She came to her and told her to be nice to Leone, and she said the same thing to her when she went to Leone. At the prince’s welcoming ceremony, to the prince himself… In a way, he was a very generous person who did not hesitate to use any means to achieve his goal.

 

“It occurred to me at that time that I sent her a letter explaining the situation and asking her to hold on to her Adler. I received an answer saying I understand.”

 

“You’re quite… It’s unique.”

 

Leone was also unique when she sent a letter to someone she didn’t know very well saying, ‘I’m in love with Trixie, I bought her a title, and we’re going to a banquet together. Adler will be surprised, so please hold on tight.’ Did her Melody personality seem okay?

 

“Melody is okay… Did you see it? It’s trustworthy or something.”

 

“Adler keeps asking me how Trixie and I are doing. Adler told me that Melody was saying strange things, and she asked questions regularly. If there is that level of interest… He is a trustworthy ally.”

 

“That… That’s right.”

 

“What. It’s not just because of Melody, but Adler also has sense, so he won’t be shocked and make a fuss about her in front of others.”

 

‘Okay. Let’s trust Adler’s common sense.’

 

She nodded. Before they knew it, the carriage had arrived in front of the Ivory Palace.

 

“We’re here, Trixie.”

 

Leone moved his body. Okay, she had to get off now… she had to get off, but she was shaking like crazy. If Leone catches your eye and follows him like a shadow, you may be able to stand next to him and jump in front of people’s gaze. Wasn’t Leone truly amazing? Even though he hated humans so much, he stood in front of everyone’s eyes and carried out tasks befitting a prince. He once again felt respect for his lover.

 

“Le, Leone. I said I liked it earlier. It’s true that I want to go with you too… Now that I think about it, I dance too, but I don’t know much about noble etiquette. What should I do?”

 

“It’s fine, Trixie. I will be by your side. No one can speak ill of you.”

 

“Yeah, but.”

 

“And… What if there is a problem? Eventually, all of this will be eliminated, right?”

 

Leone responded jokingly and laughed. Surprisingly, the joke made her relax. She too was very simple. And soon, the carriage door opened. At sunset, a pure white ivory palace stands against a sky as colored as cotton candy. In front of the palace, there was a wide staircase that looked like something used in a theater. When you enter, climb the stairs one by one with a carpet in the center. That was the banquet hall.

 

“His Royal Highness is eating it!”

 

As soon as Leone got off, loud cheers and applause rang out.

 

“Trixie.”

 

Leone suddenly held out his black gloved hand. She put her hand on it.

 

“Whoa.”

 

She took a deep breath and stood up.
