The Tyrant Wants To Live Honestly

‘is not it? It’s a little different because it’s a handkerchief that he went to the princess.’

Thinking so, my eyes twinkled and shone.

“I really can take it…?”

I ask happily.

Before returning, Theon had never given me a present.

The birthday wreath prepared by the servants could not be called a gift without a wedding ring or emotion that had to be given and received formally. So the handkerchief was more meaningful.

A part of him that Theon willingly gave up for me.

Theon nodded with a little bit of pleasure, seeing me more delighted than he had expected.

“Sure.”

“thank you.”

I carefully took the handkerchief, and Theon smiled slightly.

“Then I will go back now.”

It’s too late, he has learned it’s rude to stay in a lady’s room for too long.

“Good night, Princess.”

“Yes! Okay.”

Theon went back to the room, leaving a simple greeting. I closed the terrace door and ran to the bed and lay down again.

Theon said good night, so can I sleep again?

‘It’s such a small thing, you’re such a fool, Dorothea.’

I thought as I buried my face in the pillow.

Don’t get excited, don’t get excited.

I mean, Theon did it without thinking.

Everyone in the world would have gotten married if it was something to be excited about for a handkerchief.

Exciting alone and afraid of later disappointment, I tried to pluck out all the budding minds.

A short time of just a few minutes, a simple conversation of just a few words, and an unusual gift that can be given to anyone.

He didn’t buy it for me, He just gave me a handkerchief.

It’s nothing special, I shouldn’t like it this much.

‘He has Julia.’

I once again reflected on my bucket list.

[Second, do not covet other people’s things. The throne belongs to Ray. Theon belongs to Julia.]

‘Still, if Theon likes me, even if I try to be a little greedy…’

I do not know. what is right, Even though it’s my second life, I don’t know.

“Princess! There is a swordsmanship contest at the festival tomorrow.”

Clara opened her mouth to entice Dorothea to go watch a swordsmanship competition

By the way.

“Wow, the princess also applied for the swordsmanship competition? Is that also a youth tournament?”

Clara shut her mouth at Dorothea’s unexpected reply.

“Why are you so surprised, Clara?”

“No, the princess is still too young to participate in the youth tournament, so if you get hurt…”

“It’s okay.”

‘If Princess said it was okay, that was fine, but that wasn’t the problem.’

‘So that His Majesty Raymond and the Princess are going out together!’

Even if things got tangled up, they got stuck together.

Ray lied about his age as 15 years old, saying he would show Dorothy his skills properly, and applied for a sword competition under the name of “Louis.”

But Dorothy decided to go to the competition too!

Clara stared at Stefan behind Dorothea.

‘Why didn’t you tell me, knight!’

Stefan’s eyes widened at Clara’s piercing eyes.

Clara wanted to grab Stefan by the collar and shake him.

It’s not strange, since Stefan was originally silent, but he should have said something about such a big deal!

Clara wanted to slap Stefan’s broad back with her palm right away.

At first, Stefan was a big, silent, scary-looking face, but now Clara was seen as nothing but a big, bursting bear because Stefan was silent.

She resented Stefan for locking his mouth, but now it’s irreversible.

‘It’s a big deal if you two get together!’

When Dorothea and Ray stick together, all plans are messed up.

It’s a matter of Ray beating Dorothea and it’s a matter if Dorothea beats Ray.

If Ray defeats Dorothea, Dorothea will be offended by her defeat, and if Dorothy defeats Rey, Ray’s ‘overcoming the image of an idiot brother’ becomes impossible.

If Dorothea defeats Ray even in swordsmanship, Ray, who is confident in her swordsmanship, will be shocked, and Dorothea will look at Rey even more pathetically than before.

‘No, no. Still, there’s no rule that you two should compete.’

Still, it was a youth tournament.

Both Dorothy and Ray belonged to the younger axis.

If you get stuck in the middle of an 18 or 19-year-old, you won’t survive long in a tournament.

So Ray and Dorothea were more likely not to meet because one or both of them dropped out before they met.

‘I want the two of them to win and go to the championship, but I want them not to fight anymore.’

Clara wiped away her tears.

“You’re going to see my competition, Theon.”

“Okay, Ray. Don’t worry, I won’t go.”

Theon decided to stay a little longer in the detached palace at the reluctance of Ray and Clara.

‘Besides, Princess Dorothea doesn’t seem so angry anymore.’

Theon remembered that Dorothea he had met that night.

Fortunately, Dorothea seemed to have opened up to him a little.

‘But it’s still awkward.’

He thought that the relationship had loosened up a lot by giving the handkerchief as a gift that day, but as the day dawned, Dorothea didn’t hang out with him again.

We ate separately, and if we ran into each other, we went back to our room to avoid it.

Dorothy was like a wave.

A wave that falls far back without even being able to hold on to it when you wet your toes while approaching with joy.

“Theon, it would be good for you to go to the tournament too, you’re pretty good at it too.”

At Ray’s words, Theon shook his head.

It is true that he was good at handling swords, but his skills were lacking compared to Ray.

Moreover, he didn’t like loud noises like going to competitions.

“I will definitely win. I’m going to win and give the whole prize money to Dorothea.”

Ray remembered Dorothea, who had become awkward during the past few days at the private palace.

Even though they lived in the same villa, Dorothea seldom met Ray.

It can’t be found, and it’s hard to find.

Ray didn’t come here for this.

Ray was going to swim in the sea with Dorothea and explore the sights in the Cerritian area together.

‘After the swordsmanship contest, can I and Dorothy get along a little better?’

“You can do it.”

Theon also encouraged Ray like that.

He knew Ray’s skills very well.

As one of the most talented in Episteme, he is at a level comparable to that of any other knight, so it will not be as smooth as it seems.

It was only natural that the two people who arrived at the venue were embarrassed.

‘Weren’t you here to cheer?’

‘I thought you came to see.’

Until they came to the stadium together, Dorothea and Ray thought they were just trying to cheer each other up or to watch the tournament.

“Clara, did you know?”

“I found out yesterday, my princess! Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were going out?”

I sighed.

With my eyes in the distance, I saw Ray preparing for the competition.

By his side, Theon was helping with the preparations. Whether I should say it was fortunate out of misfortune, Theon said that he would not play.

I thought for a moment about giving up the competition, then shook my head.

‘I don’t want to stop doing what I want to do because of one Ray. This is not a bad thing either.’

I tied my hair tight.

Even if I have to fight Ray, I have to win.

“Are you nervous, Princess?”

“No.”

I sacrificed my life to go to war and was also the one who built fire pits with my own hands to usurp Ray’s throne.

It wasn’t to the point that I was even nervous about this competition.

However, it had been a long time since I had a fight with Ray, so my blood was boiling a little.

Unlike Dorothea, who was resolute, Ray, who was far away, was taking a deep breath.

“I’m trembling, what should I do?”

Rei seemed to be taking the episteme exam.

He was usually not nervous when competing with his friends, but when the word ‘exam’ was added, he was more nervous than necessary.

But today, he was more concerned than that.

“Is Dorothea okay?”

Ray was worried about Dorothea, who is the smallest among the players preparing to compete. 

No matter how you look at it, Dorothea shouldn’t have appeared in this contest.

Many of the contestants were already big enough to be called adults.

Dorothea, who was on the small side of Ray, had one smaller head than Ray and had already lost her physical condition.

It’s a big deal if Dorothea gets hurt while fighting such a big person. As for confrontation, there are many things that become difficult and injuries are common.

Ray thought that it would be better for people like that to stick with him first and cut them off in advance.

Just then, the referee of the tournament announced the match list. sixteen players will participate.

‘Please don’t let the Crown Prince and the Princess get stuck in the first round!’

Clara held her hands tightly and prayed for the tournament.

The name “Louis” at the beginning, and the name “Dori” at the end. Those are respectively Ray and Dorothea’s pseudonyms, so even if they went up to the tournament, they would only be able to meet in the finals.

“Maybe the match list was evenly arranged for the older ones to go up”

Clara murmured a little to Stefan as she looked at the match list.

Stefan nodded, disguised as a scribe wearing a beret.

Meanwhile, they were not the only ones keeping an eye on the match list.

‘Dorothea?’

Ethan, sitting behind the Duke of Bronte, recognized her at a glance.

Small stature and blonde hair. She pretended to be a commoner, but there was no way Ethan could not recognize Dorothy.

‘Why Dorothea here?’

What did the precious royal family think of participating in such a pathetic country competition?
