Princess Who Hides Her Fandom

The presence of a non-married crown prince and princess in the imperial castle was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for nobles with children of similar ages.

Some extreme nobles used all kinds of methods to make their children attractive to the royal family.

This was especially true for mothers with daughters.

Princess Agnes had a clear suitor, but it was not Prince Damian.

The seat next to him was empty, having broken off his engagement due to the death of his fiancé a few years ago.

Moreover, Prince Damian was very handsome, and he had no history with women and was not a talker.

Therefore, all nobles who had daughters of marriageable age were anxious to have the crown prince as their son-in-law.

On the other hand, Princess Agnes not only had a famous suitor, but was even rumored to be violent.

Maybe that’s why she was relatively excluded from the attention of nobles who had sons.

However, recently there were rumors that the relationship between Raymond Spencer and the princess had become strained.

“It must be the princess’s whim. How could the princess, who is satisfied with having everything she wants, give up from Raymond Spencer?”

“Yes, but…She said she’s hardly ever been seen lately? Of course, Sir Spencer is leaving on a long mission.”

“is that so? then……”

“Is it really possible that the two people had a falling out? Doesn’t that mean the possibility of getting married disappears?”

The news was a rumor that satisfied both nobles with daughters and nobles with sons.

Nobles with daughters began to nominate Raymond Spencer as their son-in-law, following the crown prince.

Additionally, nobles who had sons of marriageable age imagined that their sons would marry the princess and become the emperor’s son-in-law.

The emperor with the most powerful imperial power in history.

The emperor considers her as precious as a jewel…She is a somewhat violent but beautiful daughter.

The emperor will give all kinds of precious jewels and gold to the man who will marry his daughter.

If the current emperor had strong imperial authority, he could have given his son-in-law an unimaginably high title.

For generations, it was a tradition of the imperial castle to give great titles to the emperor’s sons-in-law.

Moreover, as rumors spread that the princess had healed the villagers during this mission, her image as a violent princess softened a little.

The nobles were very busy.

The noble ladies tried their best to make friends with the princess by asking about parties and balls she was attending.

Also, even when the husbands were attending to government affairs in the imperial castle, whenever they encountered the emperor, they would brag about their sons in some way.

And…This whole situation made someone uncomfortable.

Raymond Spencer’s father was the Duke of Spencer.

The Duke of Spencer, famous for his gentleness, was also one of the parents who wanted to make their child a royal mate.

“What? There are rumors like that going around?”

Duke Spencer was on his way up to the capital after taking care of business at his estate for the past few months.

As soon as he entered the outskirts of the capital, he heard all the rumors currently spreading in the capital from the mouth of the butler who met him.

“Nonsense!”

It was Princess Agnes who praised my son no matter what he did.

Could it be that the relationship between the princess and my son is so strained?

It seems that the son, who had gone crazy due to greed, ended up earning the princess’s hatred.

‘After all, it’s the fourth month!’

As soon as Duke Spencer arrived at the capital residence, he called his son in a booming voice.

“Raymond, Raymond! Where are you?”

“He went to bed early….”

“Wake him up right now! No, I will go there myself!”

Duke Spencer stomped up the stairs and headed to Raymond’s room.

When I opened the door and went in, I saw my son sitting on the bed leisurely reading a book.

“Raymond! Why on earth are such rumors going around? What did you say to Princess Agnes that made her hurt and treat you like that?”

“……..”

Raymond, who had come to the mansion to take a long-awaited rest, closed his eyes tightly.

If he had known his father would arrive today, he would have stayed at the emperor’s lodgings.

It’s not too late for him. Raymond got up from the bed and headed to the dressing room.

Even as he was putting on his uniform, Duke Spencer followed right next to him and nagged him.

“Didn’t Abby say that! You will regret it later! Do you think there is a better wife in the empire than that? Besides, if that beautiful princess likes you, she should be grateful!”

The Duke of Spencer criticized his son, saying he was full.

After his mother died, his father tried to take care of everything for Raymond like a nanny.

As a result, he started nagging more and more and thier relationship became uncomfortable.

“Didn’t you get along well when we were young? How nice it would be if you got along like you did back then, when you were like brother and sister!”

“Stop it, father. I said it clearly. There is no such thing as marrying a princess.”

“This…this…!”

Duke Spencer’s face turned red as if he was feeling stuffy.

Raymond immediately put on his uniform and left the mansion. The butler grabbed him and tried to stop him, but it was no use.

“That guy doesn’t even know what’s ahead….”

Duke Spencer stood at the window and watched his son leave the mansion.

He wanted Princess Agnes as his daughter-in-law.

It wasn’t because she looked exactly like the first love he had lost when he was young, and because she was his first love’s daughter.

The Duke of Spencer was deceived by familiarity during his immature days and lost the woman he loved.

She was the dead empress.

He belatedly tried to change her mind, but she was taken by Emperor Alexander.

As a result, Duke Spencer spent his entire life regretting it, and he hoped that her son wouldn’t repeat the same mistake.

However, my son Raymond hated the princess to the point of disgust.

‘When they was young, they definitely got along like brother and sister….’

At some point, Raymond became cold to Agnes.

He was a guy whose true feelings were unknown.

Duke Spencer let out a heavy sigh.

Maybe it’s just my greed that wants to connect the two people.

The duke also didn’t want Agnes and his son get married just out of pure heart.

Currently, there are quite a few families that are secretly aiming to be next to Princess Agnes.

And among them, the Duke of Salton was the one that Duke Spencer cared most about.

The Salton family is the family that currently sponsors the saint, and was also a business rival to the Spencer family.

The previous Duke of Salton died, and his son, who had recently inherited the dukedom, was young and talented.

If the Duke of Salton becomes the emperor’s son-in-law and the family gains wings, the Spencer family’s business will naturally decline.

Duke Spencer came out of his son’s room with a weary look on his face.

Raymond Spencer left the mansion and headed to the imperial castle.

After crossing the main gate of the imperial castle, he went straight to the knights’ building within the imperial castle.

The knights’ accommodations were luxurious, but it was difficult to sleep well until late at night due to the sounds of training every morning.

The reason I returned from this mission and went to the mansion was purely to get a deep sleep.

However, he had unexpectedly bad timing.

I never thought my father would return from the estate at that time.

The principle of accommodation for knights was one room per person.

As the leader of the White Knights, his accommodations were much larger and more luxurious than those of other people.

The touch of the butler of the capital mansion was touched here and there, so it was as clean as his room in the mansion.

Raymond lay down on the wide bed and looked at the ceiling.

Beautiful golden eyes were hidden under the eyelids.

He closed his eyes and exhaled to calm his boiling frustration.

Thanks to the rumors currently spreading in the capital, Raymond was very bothered.

The princess criticized himself like that that day, and behind her back, she went around saying that her chest hurt as if it had been cut by a knife.

I knew she was cunning, but I never thought she would get me in trouble like this.

But it was better than clinging to me and wooing me like before. Nowadays, I don’t get to see her face often.

Is it because my father brought up a story from when he was young?

Suddenly, the face of the princess as a child appeared in Raymond’s mind.

Yes, there was a time when I thought her pure affection was cute.
