Treasure hunt (4)
Where did this person come from? There was no one down there just a moment ago…?
After being curious for a moment I realized that I had almost died in vain without any reward for completing the mission and I lowered my head while being held in his arms.
“Okay, thank you. Thanks to you, I survived.”
His startled eyes stared at me for a few seconds. I too held my panicked heart and stared at him in silence.
‘Why aren’t you saying anything man?’
Round and large eyes light eyebrows similar in color to silver hair, blunt nose bridge, and thin lips, unlike the high bridge of my nose. His pure white skin sparkled as if reflecting sunlight making his neat face shine elegantly.
The most striking thing among them was the sky blue eyes that shined in a mysterious way like a jewel, like emeralds his eyes were as clear and transparent as a lake caught my eyes deep and drowned in.
“…I think it’s okay to leave.”
“ah.”
The silver-haired man seemed to have finally come to his senses after hearing my words and carefully put me down. As I stepped onto the floor I found a silver robe lying next to the man.
“This fell off.”
It was an amazing robe that wasn’t even made of shiny material, but the smooth fabric was shiny and reflected the sunlight. When I politely handed over the robe with both hands, the silver-haired man accepted it with a surprised expression.
‘Why do you seem more surprised than me… … ?’
I asked another question to the silver-haired man who was stiff as a monk.
“ how long were you down there? I’m sure no one was there when I came.”
“Oh, that’s… … . Because of this.”
He slightly lifted the robe and handed to me in a passive manner.
“I’ve been here the whole time. The robe that makes the body transparent… … .”
“wow. really?”
oh my god. So if you use that, you’re a completely invisible person!?
I suddenly remembered myself desperately climbing up a tree.
“Ah-No way… …Have you been watching everything?”
A gentle smile appeared on his face at my question. The silver-haired man’s expression alone was enough to answer.
“Well, that’s because I really need to find something on the tree branch… … !”
“yes.! I thought I found it.”
Wow did you even hear yourself what I was saying to myself and answer again myself?
Feeling embarrassed and I felt like hiding in a rat hole so I quickly turned around.
“Well then! thanks!”
As I tried to run away he blocked me with his slim body. I cautiously looked up at the silver-haired man standing tall in front of me. His light blue eyes reflected to me transparently while he was standing in front of me.
“I…You don’t know who I am?”
“yes?”
I clapped my hands while staring blankly at the silver-haired man who was asking something I couldn’t understand.
“ah! It looks like you didn’t hear what I said on the podium earlier, but I lost my memory. Did we know each other before?”
“… … .”
At my words, his brilliant eyes became sad. It was then that I tilted my head at his inexplicable attitude.
Rustle.
I could feel the presence of people in the grass. As soon as I heard the sound, the silver-haired man hid me behind himself as if he was protecting me. At the same time, the robe in his hand was placed over my head.
“Who are you?”
The moment the silver-haired man’s boyish voice was lowered it deep and powerful. I gaped as I saw my body becoming transparent under the robe.
‘Why do you do this to me… … ?!’
As I was about to touch the silver-haired man with a questioning look, he gave a low warning behind me.
“Don’t make any sound.”
Soon a man crawled out of the grass. He was a man wearing a uniform with the imperial emblem on it.
“Aide.”
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Your Majesty the Crown Prince.”
what?!
I gasped at the words that came out of the mouth of the man who was called an aide.
This silver-haired man is the prince I’ve been looking for all day?
As if The moment I recognized his identity an ironic system window appeared belatedly.
Tiring!
[Aster Lumansia: Favorability 29%]
[Special Note: Crown Prince]
Say something like that first and quickly! Damn this system!
Now, wait a minute!
“Huh!”
29% likability?!
It was a series of surprises now. The fact that the person who caught me when I fell from the tree was the crown prince was not shocking enough even more surprising was Aster Lumansia’s favourability level.
‘Is this the first time likability is higher than Kai when you first meet? Does this make sense? ‘Has Roella been contacted with the crown prince?’
I looked at his back while his face was calm and unbelievable.
“I was worried because you weren’t there throughout the banquet.”
“Did His Majesty tell you not to leave my side?”
The aide was startled by Aster’s serious words. Aster gave a blunt expression as if he understood.
Then the aide trying to turn the conversation around asked
“Now you have to attend the banquet hall.”
“I get it.”
Aster hurried as if he was wanted to leave the place in soon. The moment Aster’s body moved out of the way, the aide moved his gaze turned towards me behind him. It seemed as if he meant to keep the robe on.
Are you giving me the invisible robe? why?
I shrugged my shoulders and asked what he meant but Aster didn’t see me. Aster left there one step ahead of the aide, and the aide followed Aster as if he had seen nothing.
I stood there blankly until the two men disappeared from sight.
I have this now … … Can I really have it?
* * *
[Special event reward!]
[Golden Key: Stamina +5]
[Golden Key: Strength +5]
[Golden Key: Magic Defence 3 Tickets]
[Golden Key: Detox Potion]
[Golden Key: Redemption Sphere]
What a windfall this is!
Thanks to the transparent robe I suddenly acquired, I was free to search for the golden key.
Although I didn’t get it through my own efforts, I confirmed that the crown prince had a fairly high level of favour towards me, and I thought that all I had to do was find the golden key before the banquet ended.
The transparent robe was really comfortable. Since he didn’t have to show himself to nobles, he didn’t have to show off in an awkward manner, and he didn’t have to laugh until he convulsed while greeting people. Thanks to this, I cleaned up my dirty clothes while climbing the tree without the maids knowing.
‘This is why the crown prince wears a transparent robe.’
I was walking down the first-floor hallway of an open mansion. Suddenly, a familiar smell wafted from my feet. I was startled and looked down to see black smoke billowing beneath my feet.
“Mom!”
Having experienced this once before I fell and hit my butt. Thanks to this transparent robe I was wearing came out handy.
In front of me sitting helplessly on the floor was Enoch, looking down at me with an annoyed face.
“Do you know how much I took to find you?”
“yes yes?”
“Roella Clemend. You are right?”
I didn’t notice it before because I was looking at it in a dark alley, but now that I look at it the golden eyes shining under the black hair reminded me of a wild beast like a tiger.
Feeling suddenly intimidated, I looked up at him without even thinking about getting up.
“Yes, Roella Clemend is correct. As you know, I lost my memory so I don’t know what you’re talking about… … .”
Going to Rumansee Street that day should have been a secret only known to Kai and me. I decided to break up the day’s events in front of him.
“It’s the player who pretends not to know. That day, you pretended not to know my identity and called me by my name.”
“Me? Oh my, there’s no way I’ve just woken up and seen the Tower Lord? Oh ho ho!”
When I smiled awkwardly and made an excuse his black smoke made me jump. I was dragged by him, standing up straight without any time to resist. The distance between us narrowed in an instant.
“I never said I was the magic tower lord.”
“… … !”
I took a deep breath at the soft whisper. The black smoke that was rolling around my body in the shape of a twist gradually tightened as if it was putting pressure on me.
“Fu, just by looking at your appearance, you are the Lord of the Magic Tower, right?”
“No way. Not a single person thought that this body, which had not aged for a hundred years, was the magic tower lord.”
The corners of Enoch’s mouth turned up ironically as if there were no more holes to escape.
“say. What are you? They say you lost your memory but isn’t it you wearing royal mementos? Are you a stooge of the crown prince? It’s a lie that you lost memories, right?”
“Imperial memorabilia??”
My eyes widened at Enoch’s incomprehensible words.
“You wouldn’t say you didn’t know this either. The only memento used by the founding emperor is passed down to the crown prince.”
“I didn’t know… … .”
Why did Prince Aster leave this precious thing behind like he was throwing it to me?! no way! Did you just leave it to me for a moment? But am I just using it as I please?
Enoch’s eyes narrowed as he watched this, and his pupils rolled around in confusion.
“I am indeed astonished. This is why I hate women. How can you be so pretentious?”
“pretend?”
“If you had truly lost your memory, there is no way the Crown Prince would have given a precious transparent robe to someone who could not even remember him.”
His golden eyes full of distrust glanced at me.
“If you live like that, won’t you get tired? I can’t believe you are living a life that won’t even last 100 years, disguised as a lie. In a way, I am very enthusiastic to live.”
This person is truly a remarkable idiot!
I had to win his favour no matter what but the moment my second life which I was trying hard to live was criticized my patience ran out.
“What’s the point of asking questions if you’re going to make your own judgment anyway?”
“What?”
She put aside the awkward formality and spoke informally, just like he did on Rummansee Street. Then she noticed how his eyes became harsh.
The burning eyes still felt intimidating, but his fighting power was at its maximum now perhaps because he had already had a fight with noble ladies in the banquet hall.
“Okay! I approached you after knowing your identity I have never lost my memory and I am in a secret relationship with His Majesty the Crown Prince!”
Enoch’s eyes grew as big as a flower lamp. I asked him a surprised question.
“Are you satisfied with this answer? You came here to get this answer anyway, right?”
“!!”
At that moment, the black smoke that had been suffocating me was released. The black smoke released without warning made my body tilt, but I soon regained my balance and fell a few steps away from him.
‘How can I raise the favourability rating of such a tight-lipped guy?’
It was extremely unfair to receive a suspicion that I could not reasonably explain. I looked at Enoch who was mesmerized and spoke in a distressed voice.
“Shouldn’t you say thank you first before asking what you want to ask? If what you saw that day was me!”
“you… … !”
Anyway, if pretending to be a fool is useless, then this is the end of the story!
“I saved you as much as I could but you came all the way here and became a loser point-out woman? What are you doing until the celebration?! Isn’t this a celebration to celebrate my awakening after a year?”
Not wanting to continue talking I turned my back on Enoch. I walked away from him with great strides and muttered loudly.
“I want to tie that damn snout too!”
It was then the system notified
[Would you like to use ‘restraint’?]
