Everyone Was Obsessed With Me After I Became the Youngest Princess Favorite

 

“Majesty.”

 

Lucio frowned. Nicolas smiled once again as if he knew him, then changed the topic and looked at Diana.

 

“Rather than that, why don’t you really say hello now? I am also a busy person.”

 

Lucio didn’t like it, but he turned his head and looked at Diana.

 

“Diana.”

 

“Huh.”

 

Diana put on a pouty expression at Lucio’s call, but she, who had spent a lot of time with the child, noticed that the child was being shy. Because she hadn’t grown up with Allen, she liked Lucio and was unfamiliar with him. Lucio didn’t care about Diana’s reaction and hugged her.

 

“This is First Prince, His Highness Nicholas Lakshten. Say hello.”

 

As if scared to face his face with a stranger, Diana quickly clung to Lucio’s neck. Even so, it was so lovely when she nodded her head and said hello. Nicholas smiled broadly as if he was thinking the same thing as Lia.

 

“Isn’t she really cute? Can’t I hug you just once?”

 

Was he crazy?

 

“Are you crazy?”

 

She was surprised. It’s because she thought she couldn’t hold back the sound of her heart and took it out of her mouth. Fortunately, she wasn’t the one who brought it up.

 

“Hoo. Lucio, no matter how much I am a prince who is mistreated, to say such harsh things…”

 

Nicholas shook his head with a pitiful look on his face.

 

‘What kind of guys are there?’

 

She let go of the tension she had a while ago because she was a member of the royal family and looked at him disapprovingly. The only prince in the imperial family and the first born after the first princess, Nicholas Lakshten, was seventeen, the same age as Lucio and her, and twelve years older than Diana.

 

‘But he’s a very vicious thief who was targeting our Diana from the future!’

 

Of course, now there’s no way to look at baby-like Diana with those eyes, so he’s probably just loving her, but she still felt uncomfortable because he looked like a young thief.

 

“Put me down!”

 

At that time, as if it was frustrating that Lucio hugged her with all his strength, Diana shouted as she slapped him on the arm. As soon as Lucio put her down, Diana ran straight to Lia. She hugged Diana as if to hide from Nicholas, and turned her around slightly. Nicholas laughed at that, but Lucio’s mouth opened first.

 

“If you’ve seen it all, please leave.”

 

“What?”

 

At Lucio’s sudden order to celebrate, Nicholas made an absurd expression.

 

“I just arrived, and you sent me off without giving me a cup of tea?”

 

Nicholas looked very pitiful with his green eyes, sullen in disbelief. Especially if anyone knew what his situation was like thanks to the complex circumstances of the imperial palace and his mother’s background. But in her eyes, she still only saw him as a thief. Besides, he behaves slyly, saying that he was a prince who was being treated badly or so he said, but she thought that light appearance was not all of him.

 

‘My relationship with Lucio is probably not just a friend either.’

 

Among the information handled by the information guild, the most difficult to make money was, of course, the story of the imperial family. It was important to see through the relationship with high-ranking nobles, the complicated power structure and the political situation. Terenchium, which was unrivaled in handling such information, was paying attention to Nicholas, who was excluded from the fight for the throne even though he was the only prince as a child of humble origin. Unlike other members of the royal family, Nicholas’ progress to the academy was unusual. Terencium judged that he was not simply seeking a way to live because he was not greedy for the position of Emperor. In particular, since the person he was closest to was Lucio Elad, he was a little suspicious that the Duke of Elad might be supporting Nicholas behind the scenes. Of course, as the Emperor’s sword, being the Duke of Elad who always followed the Emperor’s will in a neutral position, so nobody thought much deeper. So, in reality, few people paid attention to Nicholas, and neither the Empress nor the first princess were wary of him.

 

‘But since he came of age, his movements have been unusual.’

 

Nicholas, who had an easy-going image, suddenly showed great negotiating ability in disputes with other countries and defended his interests, and he won the public’s sympathy through relief projects and eventually came into the emperor’s eyes.

 

“…?!”

 

At that time, she felt a subtle magic power in Nicholas. In her previous life, she had only seen it a few times from afar, so she was unaware of it. However, he seemed to have used a magic item because she saw that it was not pure mana but processed magic. Considering the astronomical price of magic tools… 

 

‘Is it because he is a member of the royal family no matter how badly he was treated?’

 

However, because he was so well captured, it was impossible to know which artifact he was using.

 

“Missy…?”

 

She was staring at Nicholas curiously, when suddenly Diana ruffled her sleeve.

 

“Hey.”

 

Diana, who was pouting her lips as if something was not to her liking, asked at once.

 

“Missy, isn’t my brother handsome?”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Keuk. Diana, don’t ask something obvious.”

 

She put on a strange expression as Allen suppressed his laughter. It looked like Diana was dying of joy. In the meantime, as if waiting for her answer, Allen glanced at her and was about to reply with his cold face.

 

“Missy, missy. My brother…”

 

Diana whined, and she ruffled Lucio’s sleeve.

 

“Omg! Diana!”

 

Realizing that she wasn’t talking about it, Allen made a shocked face when looking at her. However, there was no change in expression on Lucio’s face as he was held in Diana’s hand.

 

“Huh? Isn’t my brother handsome?”

 

Embarrassed, Lia didn’t say anything, so Diana, impatient, asked one more time. She didn’t know why Diana was asking a question she had never known before. Blinking her eyes, she finally realized her answer, and she smiled.

 

“Sure. Since he resembles the pretty young lady, the young master is also very handsome.”

 

“Huh.”

 

Diana put on a pouting expression as if she was not satisfied with her answer.

 

“Well, I hate to admit it, but she was more like Diana’s older brother than I was.”

 

“Doesn’t the princess resemble the Duke of Elad, not Lucio?”

 

Nicolas retorted when Allen shrugged his shoulders, saying that he had succeeded in treating her in the meantime. Then, as if realizing something, her eyes lit up.

 

“Ah! That’s why you were so frightened!”

 

“Are you scared?”

 

“Huh. As soon as this maid saw Lucio, she froze and trembled. Maybe it was because he resembled the Duke.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

Allen tilted his head. He didn’t seem to understand since she was usually not frightened by Duke Elad. It was then.

 

“Brother!”

 

Suddenly, Diana waved Lucio’s sleeve and called out to him. At that moment, she felt a chill run down her spine at the uneasy feeling she had for some reason.

 

‘No way…’

 

It probably shouldn’t be… Contrary to her wishes, Diana’s mouth opened savagely.

 

“Brother and missy, aren’t they pretty?”

 

‘Aww!’

 

She squeezed the soft flesh in her mouth, barely holding back the urge to scream, and she bit. In the meantime, Diana had called her pretty in front of many people, but it was the most shameful of all those moments. She couldn’t hold her face up in her embarrassment, but she felt Lucio looking at her. The stare at her caught her breath. The feeling of infinitely cold blue eyes piercing her like frost. It was when, for some reason, her throat tingled.

 

“No. It’s not pretty.”

 

She doubted her ears. She was trying hard not to appear surprised, but to the point where she couldn’t quite manage her expression. And she suddenly became angry, not knowing why she was surprised.

 

‘I know! I know I’m not pretty either!’

 

What was that simsim that says so openly? Still, it’s much cleaner than when she met him as a beggar in her previous life, since she didn’t have any scars on her body, and she somehow managed to wear nice clothes today! After a long huffing inwardly, she suddenly wondered what she was thinking right now.

 

“It’s not pretty…?”

 

At that time, Diana wept as if she was more shocked than she was. Nicolas watched Diana’s plump cheeks wriggle, forced the corners of her mouth to rise, and bruised Lucio.

 

“Lucio, I knew you were honest, but… Isn’t that really too much? You hurt a little girl’s heart!”

 

‘Boy, you’re worse…!’

 

Since he was a member of the royal family, she couldn’t even take her eyes off him openly and she was suffocating her anger inside, but Allen also opened his mouth.

 

“Wow, brother! Really, wow…”

 

‘…This guy can’t speak properly.’

 

Besides, what keeps saying ‘come’. Saying it to her face was too much. Since she was grumbling by herself, the answer came soon.

 

“Lia, are you okay?”

 

Quite curiously, Allen asked her with his worried face. And she replied with a bit of annoyance.

 

“Of course I’m fine. There is even a young boy who calls me ugly every day.”

 

“Pu-poo!”

 

Eventually, impatient Nicholas grabbed his stomach and started laughing. She was in a very unpleasant state, so she gave Nicholas a look at him with a trembling face and then said to Diana, who was still crying.

 

“My lady, we are going back. There is still time for dinner to be ready, so let’s play with dolls in the meantime.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yes. It’s been a while, right?”

 

“Huh!”

 

Diana, who immediately felt relieved, jumped up and took her hand. She give he greetings to Nicolas, Lucio and Allen and turned around. She thought she would have to ask Diana never again to say that she was pretty in front of other people.

 

* * *

 

“It’s pretty daring. I thought she would be hurt.”

 

Nicholas said as he looked at the back of the three children, including Lia and Diana, who were moving away, and Allen, who was chasing after them.

 

“By the way, Lucio. Why is that? If you don’t want to talk empty words, you shouldn’t answer anything like usual.”

 

“…”

 

“At the academy, you don’t say anything to the young ladies who are annoying. You seem a bit nervous today, what’s up?”

 

“…no, nothing.”

 

“Then why?”

 

“Well.”

 

At Lucio’s strange reaction, Nicholas said, “Hmm?” It was when he narrowed his eyes.
