The Lady is a Stalker

Adriana’s feelings were ultimately that light. Anyway, Adriana only seemed upset that she lost to the Crown Prince. Adriana raised her blade towards the prince and spoke.

 

“Compete with me again. If you defeat me again, I will grant you what you want.”

 

“…”

 

The crown prince furrowed his eyebrows as if he was troubled by Adriana’s words. After hearing Adriana’s suggestion, he immediately looked at her. It was a face that said he had encountered an unexpected situation. 

 

“?”

 

She tilted her head as she received the crown prince’s gaze. Wouldn’t it be okay to just beat her like when she was sleeping and make Adriana submit to learn how to control the dragon’s magic power? He won once, but there was no way he couldn’t win twice. It was a fight whose outcome was already known. The only difference from before was that she was not asleep. Was there really a reason why he couldn’t fight in front of her? She didn’t know why, but the crown prince seemed hesitant to fight. He didn’t even draw his sword. The moment he hesitated, Adriana leapt and ran at the crown prince. He only blocked Adriana’s attack and seemed to have no sign of counterattacking.

 

She watched the two of them fighting. In contrast to Adriana, whose face was red with anger, the crown prince only had an embarrassed expression on his face. Adriana was breathing heavily, but the crown prince was not shedding a single drop of sweat. There was no way that this person, whose eyes were red with anger, could defeat someone as powerful as the crown prince. She decided to give a little help to quickly end this fight, the outcome of which was already clear.

 

It’s just a guess on her part, but maybe the Crown Prince just looked like he didn’t feel like attacking a woman.

 

“Don’t be fooled by her appearance. Even though Adriana’s appearance now matches Raven’s tastes, Adriana had a male body when she was first born.”

 

“How do you know that?!”

 

“So that’s what’s important…!”

 

Two people shouted at her at the same time. Adriana was a dragon that was born over 2,000 years ago. Although they were suspicious of her because she knew the first gender of the dragon, they did not stop attacking the crown prince.

 

Adriana spoke in a voice filled with evil.

 

“Stop being pretentious and attack as if you’re going to kill me like before?!”

 

Was the crown prince being pretentious? Like before? She tilted her head. After hearing Adriana’s words, the crown prince made a face of confusion. She felt something uneasy.

 

“Are you in love?”

 

“No, no!”

 

The Crown Prince shouted in an annoyed voice and pushed Adriana away with her sheath. Then he shouted in an oppressed voice.

 

“Her face is just like yours!”

 

“…”

 

She looked dumbfounded at the crown prince’s cry of injustice. He didn’t even shed a drop of sweat when fighting Adriana, but now he was breathing heavily. Was it really that difficult for the crown prince to just say those words?

 

Regardless of what she thought, the crown prince looked like he was ruined.

 

‘Hmm, wouldn’t it be easier to attack someone if their face looks exactly like mine?’

 

The crown prince hated her, so if it were her, she would have hit him again to vent her anger. Rather than that, there was something that needed to be pointed out in advance. She stared at the crown prince. The crown prince seemed to have realized what she was going to say next, and his body trembled. He unconsciously tried to back away from her but stopped.

 

She stared into the crown prince’s golden eyes and opened her mouth.

 

“Raven.”

 

“Uh, huh?”

 

The crown prince looked particularly embarrassed. Come to think of it, yesterday the crown prince came up to her with a frown on his face and even kissed her. Now that she looked at it, the prince’s actions up until now felt strangely suspicious.

 

She opened her mouth feeling somewhat nervous.

 

“Lord Raven, what are your tastes?”

 

‘Is it me?’ She couldn’t say the words she was trying to ask. This was because Adriana was huffing and screaming at the prince in response to her evil.

 

“You pretentious bastard! Why don’t you treat me seriously like before?”

 

The flow of conversation was interrupted by Adriana, who was throwing tantrums like a child, pointing at the crown prince. She felt like her pride had been completely damaged by the crown prince not taking her seriously. Despite this, she couldn’t understand why the crown prince just ignored Adriana’s attack and didn’t respond at all. Dragons instinctively seek strength, but it was difficult to meet a worthy opponent. Because members of the same race couldn’t compete with each other at the risk of their lives.

 

For Adriana, meeting the crown prince was probably one of the few opportunities in her life. Maybe it’s an opportunity she would never have again in the future. Nevertheless, the crown prince was just trying to cover things up somehow. She felt somewhat sorry and told the crown prince.

 

“Can’t you just treat me with sincerity? If appearance is the problem, you can change it right away…”

 

“That…”

 

The crown prince expressed disapproval at her words. Seeing the Crown Prince, who used to listen to even slightly unreasonable requests, be in such trouble seems like there must be a reason… but she couldn’t figure out what it was. When the crown prince opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to her, she felt something grab her from behind.

 

“If you don’t deal with me straight, I’m going to kill this woman.”

 

“Oh my goodness.”

 

Adriana, who was confronting the crown prince, grabbed her collar from behind. She wasn’t really surprised by the cliche of a fantasy novel, but she had a feeling that something like this would happen, but she let out an exclamation that seemed as if she was at least sincerely surprised. After all, the easiest way to arouse the protagonist’s anger was to exploit his companions.

 

‘I’m not sure if the crown prince thinks of me as his younger sister.’

 

The crown prince looked at her with suspicious eyes. He seemed to be wondering if he was really in danger or if he was just acting clumsy. She didn’t feel like she was in too much danger, so she didn’t feel like rescuing them. In that case, she must perfectly play the role of a colleague who was caught up in this moment.

 

“Help me.”

 

Her clear voice echoed throughout the cave. Even when she heard it, it felt like she was in danger. He seemed calm, but in reality, it didn’t seem like Adriana would kill her needlessly, and it didn’t look like the crown prince would let her die. She didn’t feel any threat to her life at all. Nevertheless, the crown prince’s complexion hardened even at the voice that did not convey any sense of urgency. The crown prince drew his sword for the first time. Then she felt Adriana smiling evilly from behind her.

 

Adriana pushed her aside, as if she had not intended to cowardly use her as a shield to fight. Since the crown prince was truly willing to fight, it seemed like Adriana was also truly willing to fight. Both of them were on a different level from the lives they had seen so far. At this time, which could possibly be a historic moment, she was lucky enough to be the only witness, and all she could think about was wanting to go home quickly. She was looking at the two people with blurred eyes, and something familiar caught her eye.

 

‘Ah, that’s my face stiffened.’

 

Of course, the crown prince easily defeated Adriana. Adriana was lying on the floor as if she had fainted, and the crown prince was standing proudly. He should be happy because he proved his strength, but despite this, the crown prince stood there with an expression of disgust. Even after winning, it was not the expression of someone who had won. She knew the crown prince’s expression well. It was similar to the expression on her dog’s face right before he made a mistake and got scolded. It looked similar to how her immature nephew broke her favorite flower pot and rolled his eyes while watching her.

 

“Raven.”

 

“…”

 

When his name was called, the crown prince trembled and took a step back, unable to meet her eyes. His face was full of disappointment. He was fidgeting like a child being scolded by a teacher. She knew very well why he was so upset. The crown prince, who would normally have defended himself with brilliant words, did not say anything, so it seemed like he knew he had done something wrong.

 

She asked, taking a step closer to the prince.

 

“Didn’t you say that you would no longer be able to use magic?”

 

The crown prince, who was trying to back away from her words, made a face of confusion and touched his head. Apparently, this was what the crown prince said after coming here yesterday. When the teleport didn’t work, he looked down at her with a thoughtful look on his face and said, ‘You’re not listening.’ And in addition to that. ‘I can’t help it. I promised to send you back right away, but I think it will be a little late getting home. If this happens and you go back, about three days later…’ he said.

 

With that good brain, you wouldn’t say you forgot something that happened less than a day ago. However, in the duel with Adriana just now, the crown prince was clearly defeated.

 

There was no way to mistake the usage history for something she had seen several times before.

 

Adrianna Kuman. Now she understood why she said he was ‘acting cowardly towards her.’ The reason why the crown prince did not truly accept Adriana’s attacks was because he did not want to find out that the problem with the magical power was a lie. She didn’t know why he told such an unreasonable lie, but there must be a reason why the crown prince lied. As far as she knew, the Crown Prince was not the kind of person who would lie to his colleague for no reason. If you ask the crown prince directly the reason, he would give you a reasonable explanation.

 

“Why on earth did you lie like that!”

 

She tried not to blame until she thought about it, but somehow her voice came out with a hint of resentment.
