Princess Who Hides Her Fandom

“Great… I’ll stop for today, but think carefully about what I say. I will send someone again soon. If you want to keep using Gray’s last name, you’d better not ignore it.”

With those last words, Viscount Gray quickly left Kylo’s room.

The room left alone was filled with silence.

Kylo looked blankly at the seat where the Viscount sat.

There was a time when I doubted whether this person was really my father.

But now that I see it, it’s clear.

He was clearly a descendant of Viscount Gray’s dirty bloodline.

As Viscount Gray said, Kylo had also imagined it.

If he were to seduce Princess Agnes, wouldn’t she also fall for me now?

He fell into a disgusting illusion and even got caught by Raymond Spencer.

Hahaha…

He laughed, disgusted with herself.

He felt like he was just like Viscount Gray.

As if it were his mirror therapy, he was now able to look at himself objectively.

He was disgusting.

An illegitimate child who inherited the dirty blood of a scum like Viscount Gray.

There was no way he could be worthy of standing next to Princess Agnes.

Kylo, who had already spent a day in hell of an inferiority complex, collapsed emotionally.

His mind seemed empty and there was nothing left.

Even his heart was poor.

He tried hard not to be taken away, but there was nothing left.

What was left had already been taken away by Princess Agnes.

He was in love with Princess Agnes, even if it was obvious to him.

It was a feeling I had guessed, but I tried to deny it until the end.

But now that the most miserable moment had come, he had no choice but to admit it.

He was in love with Princess Agnes.

If I can’t be the man who stands by her… So much so that I want to kill all the men who have potential.

Until the day of the ball arrived, Princess Agnes didn’t choose her partner.

When Raymond Spencer came to her and offered her a partner, she flatly refused.

The maids wanted to ask what she was planning to do, but they held back.

And so the day of the prom arrived.

Agnes, looking bright and ready, checked her watch.

There was just one hour left until we had to leave for Crystal Hall, where the banquet was being held.

As planned, Agnes called her maid at exactly the right moment and said,

“Call Lord Gray outside.”

“All right.”

Princess Agnes has been very busy the past few days.

In the meantime, she secretly watched Kylo and didn’t forget her duty as a fan.

For this prom, Agnes was planning on somehow dragging Kylo along as her partner.

‘If I had told him in advance, of course he would have refused.’

I couldn’t say anything much longer because I was afraid that the sharp rejection would come back like last time.

Instead, she planned to induce him to force him to go right before the prom.

Unlike before, since he was an escort knight, there was no problem with him accompanying me as a partner.

Besides, this prom…

‘It’s a very important position for Kylo.’

Kylo’s reputation has been really shit lately.

In such a situation, if he attends the prom in style, people will look up to him even more.

Moreover, due to the emperor’s strange declaration, this ball was scheduled to be attended by all the unmarried nobles of the empire.

‘We need to make all the ladies in attendance fall in love with Kylo instead of being a crown princess.’

In addition, all the great nobles, who are rarely seen because they usually stay in the estate, will be in attendance, so it will be possible to naturally greet them.

In other words, it was a golden opportunity to say hello to people I had never known before.

There was no nobleman who would not be able to say hello if he were to go as his partner rather than someone else.

‘It’s important because it’s the first prom.’

Agnes waited for this day as if she were preparing for her daughter’s debut debut.

‘Of course, he is not my daughter but my favorite… ’

The costumes were prepared in advance through Mrs Roanna.

She wore a stunning kite dress that went well with the dress she was wearing.

Size information was obtained from the Imperial palace room. Recently, when fitting a uniform for an escort knight, it was easy because the recorded size remained.

How my heart trembled when I saw Kylo’s shoulder and chest measurements…

I felt like I was going to be overly immersed again.

Agnes barely came to her senses and waited for Kylo to come in.

Kylo, who entered inside under the guidance of her attendant, quietly approached her.

“Did you call me?”

“Welcome, Lord Grey. Sit down for a moment.”

Kylo sat across from her with a dull expression.

It was the first time Agnes had called him privately since becoming an escort knight.

The time I visited her every day right after the accident felt as distant as a dream.

Kylo couldn’t look at Agnes, who was beautifully dressed for the prom.

He wasn’t a man with enough conscience to be satisfied with just looking at her.

As much as he dreamed of revenge and ambition on the subject of dirty illegitimate child, his greed for Agnes also reared its head without even knowing the subject.

However, his presumptuous desire only eroded his self-esteem in the end.

His ego was both a greedy person who didn’t know his subject and a weak coward who did know his subject.

So I have no choice but to not look at her in the first place.

As Kylo subtly lowered his gaze, Agnes spoke cautiously.

“Well, I have a favor to ask you.”

“Please tell me anything.”

“Can you give me something?”

“Of course.”

Kylo answered in an emotionless voice.

Agnes smiled brightly and said, as if she was glad.

“Then, will you please join me as my partner in today’s ball?”

Kylo’s brow, who had been avoiding eye contact, furrowed.

He looked straight at Agnes, wondering if he had heard wrong.

It was the first eye contact since I admitted my feelings.

Kylo was afraid that his mean intentions would be revealed, but he couldn’t avoid her gaze.

Light purple eyes held me tightly and didn’t let me go.

His breath caught. It felt like i was suffocating from the beauty before my eyes.

“Thank you for listening to anything. I’m so glad. Thanks to you, I saved myself the embarrassment of going in alone.”

“……”

Kylo belatedly came to his senses as Agnes continued.

Wait, what did you just say…

Before Kylo could come to his senses, Agnes ordered her attendant.

“Go and bring the prepared ball gown.”

“Yes, princess.”

Agnes smiled and said to Kylo, who was still frozen.

“I prepared the costume in advance, just in case.”

“Wait a moment, princess…Partner, what is that….”

“Why? Are you thinking of rejecting me now? You said you would listen to anything….”

Agnes said, looking like she was going to cry at any moment.

As soon as her eyebrows lowered, Kylo felt her heart drop.

“That’s not it, I….”

“The costumes have arrived. Since we’re running out of time, let’s change clothes first, Lord Gray. I have to leave in 30 minutes.”

Kylo was swept up in the storm by the plan Agnes had prepared in advance.

When he came to his senses, he had already taken a carriage to Crystal Hall with Princess Agnes.

“……”

Kylo wasn’t used to seeing himself in a ball gown and with his hair slicked back.

Agnes, sitting across from him, smiled and looked at him.

Kylo turned his head as their eyes met.

Today, the carriage felt very narrow. I couldn’t believe we’d ever been trapped together in a smaller space than this.

The soft scent of flowers and sweet peach that I smelled once tickled the tip of my nose.

Kylo had never attended a prom before.

He was an illegitimate child, and there were no nobles who welcomed illegitimate children.

But he ended up attending the first ball as the princess’s partner.

Why?

Kylo couldn’t understand Agnes.

He tried to get rid of useless greed and illusions.

Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult for him.

Every time his eyes met with Princess Agnes, his mind went blank.

It was really convenient for him because he didn’t have to feel anything other than the feeling of her beauty.
