Ronica Castle was generally quiet.
Of course, as is the case with a thriving country, there were a lot of people coming and going, and the workers were working hard at their jobs, but the atmosphere was cute and warm rather than dynamic.
It has been so loud for the first time in a long time that the royal castle has been so loud.
Velia glanced around at the unfamiliar, excited atmosphere.
Everyone was gathered outside near Velia, who was standing on the stairs, from the king and other royal family members to the prime minister and the elders of the House of Nobles.
“How are you feeling?”
At that time, Herald, who was standing nearby, looked at Velia’s expression and asked carefully.
She knew exactly why her brother was watching her, but Velia smiled brightly and answered, pretending not to know anything.
“Very good.”
Herald laughs awkwardly at Velia’s answer, which is no different from her usual answer.
Anyone who saw him had a clear expression of discomfort.
‘I’d rather just ask him outright. Anyway, your brother is really… … .’
therefore.
The reason why so many people are gathered in one place right now and why Herald keeps looking at his expression from the corner of his eye.
“Waaah!”
“Welcome to the Kingdom of Ronica!”
“Kyaa! “Your Highness Khalid!”
This was because it was the day when Khalid, the second prince of the empire and who had recently been rumored to have some kind of relationship with Velia, officially visited the royal castle.
As if he had finally arrived, cheers began to echo from near the front door.
‘at las… … !’
After the day he visited the castle, Khalid sent a letter saying he would make an official visit to the Kingdom of Ronica. It was a matter that had already been discussed with the king, but it was a time when superficial actions were important.
Her first prince, Raul, has already arrived in Ronica and is leading a joint investigation team between the empire and the kingdom, and this time, her second prince, Prince Khalid, visits the royal castle.
How can two princes of an empire visit the same country at the same time?
Since this was the first time, it was obvious that other countries would be watching with great interest.
“Don’t be so rude to her second prince.”
“… … hmm.”
Herald did not respond in a sullen manner to Velia’s request, which seemed to take care of her second prince.
How dare you meet my younger brother secretly… … !
In the eyes of the burning Herald, Khalid was no different from a thief.
‘no. ‘I didn’t say the rumors were true.’
After calming down as much as possible, Herald looked towards the main gate and saw the 2nd Prince, the culprit behind this incident, marching with his knights and attendants.
As his appearance got closer to the royal castle, people looked at Velia’s expressions and actions.
Their faces seemed like they were dying to know if they were lovers as rumored.
“what… … . “It looks even and perfect.”
The Herald muttered bluntly. Velia let out a small laugh. Perhaps because he was a man who had a scandalous affair with his younger brother, he seemed to be feeling repulsed for no reason.
“You look even more handsome up close.”
Her eyes widened and her head turned to look at her, hearing her sister’s words full of playfulness.
It was a gaze filled with an unspoken question as to whether the rumor was true.
Velia did not answer that question.
Anyway, after a while, your relationship with him will be revealed to everyone.
Hehe, Velia let out a meaningful laugh and checked Raul’s face peeking out from behind the Herald.
He was smiling brightly, but she knew it was her fake face.
Subtly crooked corners of the mouth and frequently fiddling with the thumb and index finger.
It was a long-standing habit of his that appeared whenever he didn’t like something.
‘under. What is the truth… … !’
As I look at that coldly, a conversation with Raul a few days ago comes to mind.
Velia’s expression crumpled along with a crunching sound. The more she thought, the more angry she became.
“Compared to others, it’s much better.”
Although he did not refer to anyone, the Herald muttered quietly as if he understood right away.
“Well, I think I’ll be less annoying than the first prince.”
“Phew!”
This time, Klose, who was next to her, couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
“Klose… … .”
“ah. “I’m sorry, sister.”
Klose apologized in a laughing voice and immediately regained control of his expression.
When Khalid reached the entrance of the castle, the king and queen of the Lonica Kingdom greeted him at the front line. Then he gave a welcome greeting.
Khalid expressed his gratitude for the king and queen’s welcome with a faint smile rather than the cold expression he had when he first saw Velia.
“sister. “I think I’m right.”
“what?”
“Second prince. Understand?”
Klose said, poking Velia’s side.
At first she was confused as she didn’t understand what was being said, but then she remembered their previous conversation and Velia gritted her teeth to keep from laughing.
She had to try hard not to distort her most noble expression.
“What did you mean?”
“It’s a secret between me and my sister. So don’t ask, uncle.”
“Again, did you just ignore me and tell interesting stories between yourselves?”
“If you talk to your uncle, everything will get into Momma’s ears, so you can’t.”
Klose spoke in a firm voice and turned his head. The Herald then looked at Velia with a hurt look on her face.
But she, Velia, smiled awkwardly and turned her head away.
“… … too bad.”
The Herald somehow felt a little lonely.
The greetings exchanged between the king and Khalid ended.
Afterwards, when the king turned slightly to introduce the prince and princess to Khalid, Khalid and Velia’s eyes met.
Then Khalid smiled as if he was happy.
She smiled, looking forward to what kind of welcome greeting she had prepared.
‘Whoa.’
Velia took a few deep breaths within herself.
I know it’s crazy.
but.
“Tsk… … .”
Khalid, noticing Velia’s , tense expression, smiled and turned her body around.
Then she naturally greeted the Herald.
Herald had an uncomfortable expression, but Khalid’s expression was very bright in contrast.
Soon, the king began to introduce the princesses of the Ronica kingdom to Khalid.
“From here, Velia, klose. “They are all lovely children.”
“yes. “It really is.”
I can’t survive, really.
Velia closed her eyes tightly in response to his answer, which she did not even try to hide.
“hello. “This is Klose Ronica.”
“Princess Klose. Nice to meet you. “This is Khalid Ingot.”
“yes! Me too! nice to meet you!”
While Velia was preparing her heart, Klose, who had exchanged her greetings with him, answered more brightly than anyone else. Anyway, the 2nd prince seemed better than the 1st prince.
Her older sister also acknowledged her relationship with him.
In times like this, shouldn’t she at least step up and be on her sister’s side?
Thinking like that, Klose narrowed his eyes and whispered in a low voice.
“Please take care of my sister.”
Khalid also responded in a very quiet voice to those very cute words.
“of course.”
Then the two of them giggle, wondering what’s good.
After a while, Khalid stood in front of Velia.
“velia.”
Very sweetly she moved her eyebrows as he called her name.
The message was that if there is something prepared, try it.
“I hope you welcome me as if I were the only person in the world.”
The words he left rang in my ears.
Around this time, everyone was wondering about Velia, who did not say anything or do anything.
Velia bit her lip tightly.
‘It’s already too late.’
She started everything she did herself.
Isn’t she in the same boat anyway?
She doesn’t need to pull out in shame.
After a while, she lowered her head for a moment and when I heard her, her expression was completely different from before.
‘Look at this?’
Khalid smiled mischievously as he watched her change in real time.
“Khalid. I missed you.”
Saying that, Velia took a step in front of her with her arms outstretched.
Then she closed her eyes and smiled.
Her laughter was so great that it seemed as if her surroundings were brightening.
She said, ‘Did she ask the world to treat her as if she were the only one in sight?’
There’s nothing she can’t do.
To make Raul withdraw his proposal to marry her, it wasn’t enough to spread rumors about her relationship with the second prince. We needed a big event that would remain in everyone’s mind. An incident that will make it impossible for me to withdraw my marriage proposal.
So this is what I thought.
If someone were to look inside her Velia right now, they would have done their best to stop them.
But no one could see her inner thoughts, and it ended up happening.
“oh!”
“velia!!”
“Oh my!”
Velia rose on her tiptoes and wrapped both her hands around Khalid’s neck. She then playfully made eye contact with him and immediately kissed him on the lips.
The reactions were varied, but Khalid’s reaction was the most impressive.
I felt his body stiffening as it touched me. I always didn’t like his relaxed attitude, but somehow it felt refreshing.
Velia, who had been kissing him for a very long time, slowly parted her lips.
She said, ‘Was this what you wanted? ‘His Royal Highness Prince Khalid?’
Khalid looked at Velia, who had a satisfied expression on her face, with shaking eyes. That too for a while.
“town!”
Khalid grabbed Velia’s neck with one hand and kissed her deeply again.
“oh my god… … .”
The Herald’s devastated voice was heard.
However, Velia responded positively to Khalid’s kiss with a feeling of ignorance.
… … We can fix it somehow, right?
Although this was the place to welcome Prince Khalid’s visit, it was in front of the royal castle of the Ronica Kingdom.
‘Raul must be looking at this now, right?’
Thinking about that makes me feel a little happier.
‘by the way… … .’
This man simply doesn’t know ‘moderately.’
Velia lowered her hand from around Khalid’s neck and poked his shoulder.
It meant stop.
‘really!’
But Khalid smiled without leaving his lips.
“Then (stop)… … .”
Velia spoke out loud this time and gave a small warning.
Only then did Khalid separate his lips from Velia’s. Then, with a very affectionate expression, she hugged Velia tightly in her arms.
“I really like your welcome. “I will ask you to do this more often in the future.”
Khalid whispered in Velia’s ear in a very quiet voice.
Velia was shocked. But she couldn’t lose. If I can’t control it here, I won’t be able to control this unruly man in the future.
“More than that, you’re not a good kisser, are you?”
Khalid’s eyebrows twitched.
“Please be better next time, Your Highness.”
Khalid burst into laughter at Velia’s provocative words.
“I can’t believe I wasn’t satisfied. “I’ll try harder next time.”
After saying these last words, Khalid let her Belia go.
When their incredible atrocities ended and we looked around, the situation was already devastated.
“Ve, Velia… … !”
The king and queen’s eyes were so big that they couldn’t bear to continue speaking as they looked at Velia. So did the Herald. In it, only Klose’s eyes lit up as if he was having fun.
‘When did you become so bold?’
It was clear that everything that happened today would quickly spread among the nobles.
I never would have thought that Velia, who was always quiet and reserved, would suddenly do such a bold thing in front of so many people, especially when greeting a prince from a foreign country.
Also, what about the second prince?
Without showing any signs of being embarrassed by Velia’s sudden behavior, she instead gave him a deeper kiss.
Of course, he flinched and slightly stiffened, but Klose didn’t see that.
Klose looked at the two of them, their relationship deeper than he thought, and thought that sooner or later he would have to ask her sister about everything.
Of course he did not forget to compare Khalid and Raul.
‘Looking again, the 2nd prince is better than the 1st prince.’
Klose nodded his head a few times.
When he actually faced the second prince, he was convinced that his reasoning was very sound.
“Then shall we go? “I will help guide her.”
“It’s good.”
And among those chaotic people, only Khalid and Velia were calm.
Thank you!⭐️
