Chapter 105:
“Leon, perhaps there is a way to break the curse with the jewel.”
“I think so, too. I don’t think I need to find them all.”
He took out the red jewel in his arms. It gave me goosebumps to see it again. If you don’t know the legend, it’ll look just like a gem.
“I think it will take some time to do research.”
“You’re not looking for the seller?”
“They’ll be hiding. We’ll find out who sold the jewelry if I catch them.”
Leon was right. I looked at Hessen, and he still had a gloomy expression on his face.
“They said there would be a banquet soon.”
“…A banquet?”
“It’s certainly strange. It’s been a while since the hunting contest, and it’s a party again.”
It’s clear that Janice was involved.
Above all, I didn’t want to attend the royal banquet.
Delther might try to kill me there. He was a man who would do anything for Janice.
“It’ll be alright. Don’t worry.”
Leon smiled and held my hand. The most complicated thing would be Leon.
I was embarrassed because I thought I was too grumpy.
“By the way, you’re okay, right?”
If everyone finds out that Leon is the last member of the Rubion family…
“Oh! You will also be attending the banquet Leon.”
“Me too?”
“Yes, as my partner.”
I’m thinking of meeting the emperor and getting our engagement officially certified.
I’ll have to get the scandal first.
That way Janice won’t be able to move.
“In a few days our story will be in the newspaper. I told my father in advance.”
Maybe Leon would be in danger, but this was the only way to tie him up.
“Our scandal will break out.”
“What’s the favorite thing you’ve heard recently?”
The world will start talking about Leon. Does it matter if it happens.
“Elle, it doesn’t make any difference if they know about my existence anyway. It will be more comfortable.”
He really didn’t seem to care. Rather, he had a relaxed face.
He’s so big that I don’t have to protect him anymore.
It’s about time that he came forward.
As a member of the Rubion family.
In the true form of the cursed Leon Davis.
“Leon, I don’t want you to be hurt.”
I was worried. Maybe I’m digging through the wound.
“I rather like it. If they look at me like a monster, they won’t even come near me. It would be nice if the royal family had a different attitude.”
I clasped his hand without saying a word.
“Oh, oh! That’s it!”
Hessen hurriedly took me away from Leon.
“It’s weird that I can’t hear anything! Anything you do is weird!”
Caven burst open the door to his scream.
“What’s the matter! There’s a loud noise inside!”
“…Nothing is going on. I’m done talking, so why don’t we eat?”
“It’s a good idea.”
Hessen was relief as Leon flicked his finger.
“Really… It was such a scary experience.”
He left the room with a pale face.
* * *
“Wow, the wizard welfare must be good.”
I drooled at the full table.
“Thank you for the food.”
I was already clamoring because I was hungry.
If I don’t put something into my stomach quickly, it’ll make a louder sound.
I took a big bite and pushed the food in.
“Oh, it’s so good.”
I continued to express my admiration and moved my fork and knife nonstop.
“El.”
“Uhuk!”
I was eating deliciously with food in my mouth, and suddenly El appeared.
It made me choke, beating my chest hard.
“Eh, El?”
“I’m sorry. I appear during the meal… …the count asked me to see if you were all right, miss.”
“Ah… But can you use your magic?”
“I came to the tower and asked them a favor.”
El continued to speak with a calm look. At the same time, he checked if there was any wound on my body.
“Welcome, El. Then let’s have dinner together while you’re here.”
“I’ll send you all at once with Elle.”
Leon nodded as if not to worry.
“…At once.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll teleport you after you finish your meal.”
“But that’s illegal, isn’t it?”
“I use it in the magic tower, but if it is unfair, I can tell you to use it.”
Wow, at times like that, it’s really easy.
But I didn’t say anything because I could go home comfortably.
El was forced to sit down.
“Is he gone, prince Delther?”
“He’s at the mansion because it’s raining so much.”
“As expected….”
There’s no way that stupid human could have returned to the Royal Palace right away.
I cut the meat and bit my lips tightly.
“He’s not looking for me?”
“Yes, but he’ll find out soon.”
“Hmm. I’ll have to finish my meal quickly.”
El nodded. Unfortunately, I had to get back quickly.
The rain still hasn’t thought about stopping.
“You’re not going to go like this, aren’t you?”
Leon’s fingers slipped past my lips.
“…Did you ask?”
“I can’t tell. I know because I’m only looking at you.”
“I must have eaten in such a hurry because I was hungry.”
It’s easy to get criticized if you go somewhere and eat like this.
“Leon, I’ll send you a letter later, so read it carefully.”
Ha.
I lightly kissed him on the cheek.
The others who were watching us turned their heads as if it was familiar.
* * *
“Wow.”
“… Sir Hessen. Please go over there and spit it out.”
I don’t feel well either.
Still not used to teleport.
“Where is my father?”
Having struggled to come to my senses, I entered the mansion.
And contrary to my intentions, I immediately faced Delther. What kind of rain is he looking outside.
It’s fun to enjoy when it rains. Why are you staring blankly when it’s pouring.
“You must have been somewhere.”
“Oh, I went for a walk.”
“In this weather?”
“Your Highness is looking out in this weather.”
“Well, it’s not bad weather.”
Delter turned and looked at me with his arms crossed.
“I think it would be better to go with me when I go back.”
“…Come again?”
“Why? I guess you don’t like it.”
“Yes, it’s not good.”
I answered honestly. Delther didn’t change his expression as if he had expected it.
“I think you have eaten, so let’s have a cup of tea.”
“It must be so… right?”
Seeing that his impression was about to crumple, I hurriedly turned his words.
“My Lady…!”
Diria, who found me in the distance, rushed and stopped.
“Get the tea ready.”
“All right.”
She turned again and quickly disappeared in the opposite direction.
“It really doesn’t seem like there’s a day when it’s quiet here.”
“Well, it tend to be like that.”
Delther and I walked side by side. I thought we were going to bicker, but it was quieter than I thought.
“What the hell are you thinking?”
“…I don’t know what you’re asking.”
“Damn you and him.”
If I tell you what I’m going to do, you’re going to help me?
If Janice finds out, she might grab the back of his neck and fall.
He still didn’t seem to understand the situation. Either that or he’s stupid.
The crown prince of the country doesn’t know how this works.
“Are you asking when you know? Or do you really not know?”
“You can say half know and half don’t know.”
“Just say you don’t know.”
“That’s the problem with you. You’re talking back.”
Delther narrowed his brow.
When we went to the drawing room, we drank tea and looked around.
‘What the hell are you trying to say?’
I drink the tea one after another in the silence.
“Now, start talking. I’m a little busy because I have to go see my father.”
“We’ll have to make sure Janice doesn’t get hurt.”
“…Are you saying you know what I’m going to do?””
“Whatever it is.”
Delther looked at me with bloodshot eyes.
He was about to cut my neck right away.
“As long as Princess Janice doesn’t do anything else, we won’t hurt each other.”
Pitter-patter..
The sound of rain falling on the floor made my ears suffocate.
Once again, silence has settled between us.
I was appalled to see the smile on Delther’s lips.
“Janice will do anything.”
“Then I’ll have to do anything, too.”
“Elle Natasia. Do you think you’re like the princess?”
We can’t be the same. It’s a different class.
“We’re different. But wouldn’t Leon feel the same way?”
Delther’s mouth closed at my words.
“I don’t intend to put Janice at risk either.”
“I’m glad you think so.”
“But I think you should know who’s driving her most to the brink.”
“…Is it me?”
Of course. Then what’s the point of me saying this.
“Just get up. I’ll leave as soon as it stops raining tomorrow, so you know.”
“I’ll make preparations in advance. Then take a rest.”
Finally, the privileges gained from the hunting competition are available.
I’ve already decided what to say when I meet the emperor, so I just have to go.
“I’m going to make you listen to it.”
I also got up from my seat along with Delther. I should go to my father quickly.
I had a lot to say.
We had to take measures, and he might know about it. He might know something about the Rubion family.
As soon as he exited the drawing room, I headed to the office where my father would be.
