The Lady is a Stalker

Moreover, for some reason, the crown prince who said those words was very angry. He acted as if he was upset because she was only looking at the elf child. This made it seem like the crown prince was jealous.

 

She guessed her delusion was overdone. But if that’s not the case, then what on earth should she take those meaningful words to mean? There was no reason for the crown prince to be jealous of the elf in the first place…

 

‘Oh, no way.’

 

She came up with a unique reason why the crown prince would feel jealous of the elf.

 

“Raven, you are beautiful enough.”

 

“What?”

 

The crown prince looked back at her as if he was saying something and made a sound of wind. However, she could not help but guess that this was why the crown prince was angry. How many times in the Crown Prince’s life has he had to lose someone else’s gaze on him? Although she now realized this, the crown prince must have taken great pride in his appearance. She was able to guess just by looking at the content of the questions he asked her as if interrogating her.

 

“If they have a very pretty face, you can’t ignore them, right?”

 

That’s exactly what the crown prince said.

 

‘How dare you turn a blind eye to me, who is so pretty?’

 

It was heard like this.

 

It may be a bit absurd, but he had lived with that face his whole life, so it was natural to be proud of it. No, if you think about it, the crown prince was rather humble compared to what he had. In any case, the crown prince, who had great pride in his face, was so angry that someone else was obsessed with him in front of him, even if that person was Serabi, that he could not bear it… she concluded. The elf’s appearance and pheromones far exceed those of a human, so it was inevitable that she would be distracted, but regardless, the prince’s disintegration was not something that was completely incomprehensible. Even though she gave him the answer he wanted, the crown prince looked at her with a puzzled expression, so she quickly added.

 

“I’ve never felt pretty or beautiful when I look at people until now, but I thought Raven was beautiful from the moment I first saw him.”

 

Prince Raven, who heard her compliment, and stared at her with a strange expression. Usually, he was the prince who got angry whenever she said something, so she thought he would definitely dismiss her words this time by saying, ‘Stop talking nonsense.’ He just kept his mouth shut and listened, and he didn’t even think about interrupting what she was saying. Rather, he was just looking at her lips as if waiting for her to say something more. What should she say about the emotions in those eyes? It’s a kind of anticipation. How else could she praise him here?

 

She thought the Crown Prince said that he hated flattery and praises the most in the world. Now that she looked at it, it didn’t seem like that was necessarily the case. The crown prince looked at her with strange anticipation for a long time, then opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.

 

“That means…”

 

At that time, the elf child, who was quietly looking at her hair with sparkling eyes, suddenly yanked her hair from underneath.

 

“Ah.”

 

Her head was tilted downward due to the pulling force. Ah, it was so cute. It felt like she was seeing a small animal full of curiosity. After seeing a snobbish guy like the crown prince who looked like a child on the outside but was immersed in the world on the inside, she felt something healed when she saw such a pure guy. She squatted down on the floor and made eye contact with the child so that he could play with his hair. It was even more beautiful when she saw it up close. Oh, come to think of it, she still haven’t heard what the crown prince was trying to say. She raised her head slightly, looked at the crown prince again, and asked.

 

“What were you trying to say?”

 

“No. It’s nothing.”

 

When she faced him again, he had a somewhat dejected look on his face. She was so possessed by the elf’s pheromones that she lost her senses for a moment, but the prince seemed unconcerned. Rather, he was making an annoyed expression because something bothersome was sticking to him.

 

On the subject of marrying an elf queen in the future, there was no reaction even after seeing an elf. Ah, if even this tiny elf child, who appeared to have just been born, was this beautiful, then just how beautiful was the elf queen? The prince who took over the elf queen was truly a thief.

 

The elf child who was playing with her hair burst into laughter. She was almost entranced by the child’s appearance, but every time she tried to be entranced, the crown prince looked at her with his evil, murderous eyes, so she never lost her senses. Maybe he was considerate of her in his own way. They were probably trying to prevent her from losing her mind and committing a crime like touching a child. 

 

‘It was an act worthy of the icon of consideration in the novel. Thank you too.’

 

At that time, the elf child who was excitedly playing with her hair suddenly placed his hand on her injured shoulder. It wasn’t that strong, but it suddenly touched the wound directly as if it was aimed, and she was startled and made a slightly loud sound.

 

“Ouch!”

 

“Serabi!”

 

The crown prince, who had been looking down at them with his arms crossed, was startled by her screams and came running towards her. Then he threw away the child, who had a shocked expression on his face due to the sudden scream. There was no other way to express it other than ‘he threw it away.’

 

“Are you okay? Are the wounds more than just added?”

 

He quickly stretched out his hand to check her wounds, but then withdrew his hand in shock. He was so nervous that he couldn’t even touch her for fear of aggravating her wounds. But she was frozen by another shock.

 

“What… you throw a kid, a kid, a kid!”

 

She spoke to the crown prince in a voice full of astonishment. The elf child, who had fallen after rolling a few laps, was staring blankly in this direction with a puzzled expression. The surprised elf, so cute, immediately lifted the moon. It seemed like the crown prince had really thrown it away. He thought it must have been broken in some place, but fortunately, the elf child seemed to have no injuries other than being slightly startled.

 

She breathed a sigh of relief. Well, she didn’t think she had this type of personality to begin with. In the original, the crown prince said he was a more rational and warm-hearted person than anyone else, but he just threw the kid away. Considering the prince’s personality in the original work, it was something that could never have happened. Let’s gently embrace the child and look at the crown prince. He was looking at her with a troubled expression. He seemed to have regained his senses and was frozen in shock at what he had done. When she glared at the crown prince with an expression that asked if he knew what he had done wrong, he flinched.

 

“I-I was just… I was worried because I knew what that other race had done to you… And since this race has a stronger body than humans, that kind of shock… Well, I mean… damn it.”

 

The crown prince, who continued to talk as if he was making a lame excuse, was unable to finish his sentence and instead cursed and lowered his head. The crown prince, who had been staring at the floor for a long time, suddenly asked with an urgent look on his face, as if he had finally come to his senses.

 

“Are you hurt?”

 

“What?”

 

Now that she thought about it, she was still holding the elf child with both hands. The elf child wasn’t heavy, but it wasn’t light enough to be lifted with one arm. She looked down at the elf child quietly held in her arms. The elf child blinked with an innocent look on his face when he met the prince who had a slightly surprised expression on his face.

 

“…”

 

She quietly lifted and lowered the child about ten times.

 

“…”

 

Then the crown prince looked at her as if he were looking at a strange creature. The child kept bursting into bright laughter as if he thought she was playing a game of giving him a ride on a plane.

 

“Oh, it doesn’t hurt.”

 

“…?”

 

She muttered to herself with a shocked expression. The crown prince, who heard her muttering to herself, frowned and tilted her head with an expression of incomprehension. The pain had completely disappeared, as if it had been a lie that she had felt pain like a needle pricking just moments ago. There was only one reason why her shoulder suddenly got better. 

 

This elf child was smiling brightly in front of her with an innocent face. Come to think of it, even in the novel, the elf queen used her healing powers to completely heal the prince whenever he was injured. She thought only the Elf Queen had healing powers, but it turned out even a small child like this could use them.

 

Her wounds were so severe that even in the temple she would stick out her tongue, but they were healed so quickly with just one touch from an elf. Was this the difference between humans and other races? The elf child, who didn’t know what she was thinking, just looked up at her with an expression that said, ‘Did I do well?’

 

“…Explain.”

 

As she was silently exchanging strange glances with the elf child, the momentarily forgotten crown prince intervened in a slightly angry voice. Ordinary humans do not know that the elf had healing powers. They were so timid that they always lived in groups deep in the forest to avoid being seen, and even did not come out their whole lives. So, of course, this would be the crown prince’s first encounter with an elf.

 

“It doesn’t hurt. I’m better.”

 

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

 

As expected, he came back to her as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

“Really. Would you like to take a look?”

 

With a slightly agitated face, she reacted by turning her back towards the crown prince and trying to take down her clothes, just like in the cave last night, but he stopped her with a shocked expression.

 

“What are you doing!”

 

“Huh? Just take a look.”

 

The crown prince’s face hardened as if he was dumbfounded by her words, and he spoke with an angry expression.

 

“I guess you usually just throw your clothes off in front of everyone like that?”

 

After all, who said that seeing her naked body since he was young didn’t give him any inspiration? He got angry when she told him not to take it off yesterday, and he got angry when she told him he would take it off today. They just show the same scars, so why were they doing that?
