Chapter 35
Episode 35
Translator : Missme Editor : Aru
Unintentionally, I saved the crown prince from hardship .
In fact, even if he was left alone, the guard, who wondered why the prince was not seen at the party today, would have come out to the garden and rescued him .
“Your Highness, have you fallen into another trance?” would have nicely covered up the fact that he was lost .
‘I should’ve left it as if I didn’t know it . ’
Oh, this terrible mouth .
The way out of the garden was strangely secluded .
By the time we were about to exit the garden, the Crown Prince suddenly broke the silence .
“Princess is the first one to know I’m bad with directions . ”
Um…
I’d like to say something . I didn’t really say he’s bad with directions myself . Should I say no?
However, such a remark may be a cry of ridicule at a time when I witnessed the Crown Prince’s loss in the palace garden .
I just chose to reassure him again .
“You really don’t have to worry . I am not someone ignorant who doesn’t know about manners and honour to carry your personal story carelessly . ”
“I’m not worried about that . ”
No?
The prince looked at me with a gentle expression . He certainly doesn’t look anxious .
I didn’t know if that meant he trusted me or saying it didn’t matter .
“But it’s a little embarrassing . I’ve shown the princess my lacking aspect . ”
“No, Your Highness . It was an honour for me to be of assistance . ”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, and in fact, if a person is too perfect, it is not humane and feels like a wall . You have become more perfect than others because you have a slightly lacking side about the road . ”
Did I just say the right thing?
I took it out as soon as it came to me, but I couldn’t check it .
Fortunately, I could hear the prince’s laugh lightly as if the meaning of the goodwill was conveyed properly .
“I see . I’ve become more perfect . ”
“Yes, you are . ”
Does he like it?
In fact, I’ve read the passage that the prince is not good at directions, but I don’t remember reading anything else about how he thinks of it as a complex .
The Crown Prince was calmer and more determined than I thought . He was a little taken aback a little while ago because I unintentionally caught him, but maybe he’s thinking it’s nothing .
‘No, but at the Imperial Palace garden…’
I don’t know . If not, then it’s okay .
Anyway, I mean it when I say I won’t say anything . What’s the point of saying that?
Moreover, they won’t believe me . I read it in a book and know that the Crown Prince is bad at directions, but for Imperial people, the Crown Prince Igret was just a completely perfect existence .
I don’t have any intention to break that fantasy .
While I was thinking about it, the entrance to the party was just around the corner .
Thanks to meeting the guard on the way, I was able to come straight to the entrance .
The Crown Prince stopped at the door . The light in the party room seemed to leak faintly through the crack in the door .
The crown prince’s distinctive features have a strange shade .
He had a good, handsome face . Even if someone is slapping me on the cheek to find his flaws, I’m not sure if I can find it .
“I was wondering what kind of person you are……you’re quite interesting, princess . ”
“What?”
I couldn’t hear it because I was distracted . The guard opened the door just in time .
Bright lights, music and other busy noises flooded in at once, grabbing my attention .
At this time, the Crown Prince leaned toward me .
The gap has narrowed . Even in the midst of loud noise, a small voice can be heard clearly .
“I hope you enjoy the party today . I won’t forget the help I received from you in the garden . ”
Soon, the prince was called by the voice of his search for me and moved away inside the party hall .
I saw him away and blinked my eyes near the entrance .
‘Just now…’
Did he really have to say that so close?
I rubbed my ears . It was not a breath-taking thing, but it was worth it .

I seriously thought about the meaning of his excessive behaviour .
“Oh, Princess Lydia . ”
Someone was talking to me while I was thinking about that . My attention turns to the voice .
“Oh, Countess . ”
It was a blonde woman whose name was hazy, but I attended her wedding last year .
“I see you here . Long time no see . How have you been?”
“Of course . And how about you countess? How is the Count?”
“Well, he’s …”
The Countess opened up her fan and chattered . I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate that she was the first person I talk to .
The countess was talkative . Thanks to her, I could not find time to think about anything else just by getting along with her gossip .
“Hello, Princess . ”
“You are still beautiful . You look good in a navy dress . Which salon did you get it from?”
“Have you tried wine? I’ve heard from the mayor that today’s wine is especially from the Imperial Palace…… . ”
Starting with Countess, several people have been talking to me . There were various people, so the subjects were diverse .
My mouth and face were busy accepting the conversation, but as I had hoped, my head felt more and more simple .
‘I’ve come a long way . ’
Hoo, to take a breather in the middle, cut off the conversation for a while and looked around inside of the party hall .
Today’s party was a kind of celebration party to commemorate the new building .
Of course, surprisingly, it was only a nominal name for such trivial reasons, and in fact, it was a simple party held by the country (from tax) for people who had time and status to gather and build acquaintance .
‘If it were any other time, I wouldn’t be here for a party like this . ’
I didn’t pay for it myself, but it felt rather strange to watch the waste of taxes in front of my eyes .
“Princess, this is the wine I told you about… . . ”
“Oh, thank you . ”
I accepted a glass of wine from a server . While I was taking a break from speaking, I thought my neck or mouth would be broken .
It was then .
“Excuse me . ”

Tuk!
Someone passed by and hit my elbow . It was very unfortunate timing .
The wine I had just taken for a drink was dripping from my glass and dirtied my dress .
“Oh, I’m sorry . ”
A lady, who looked about in her late teens with long black hair, gave me an apology in an awkward manner .
“Oh, princess! Your Dress!”
“Are you all right?”
There’s something I’d like to mention briefly .
I was actually very sensitive about distinguishing someone who felt sorry for me, given that I grew up with a diamond spoon .
It could be the effect of my previous life, or it could be because I was an adoptee but no one said anything about it and I know it by myself .
What’s important is I was like that .
When I saw the feeling of the opponent, who said she was sorry but didn’t seem so sorry, I thought of what Sir Davery had said before .
‘Do you have many people who have grudges against you around?’
. . it’s strange… . . no, it’s not .
. . I don’t think so .
Anyway, I can’t stay still as long as I’ve been beaten .
I don’t have a big heart to pass over this unprovoked attack .
“It’s okay . It’s no big deal . ”
After calming down the noisy surroundings and shaking my dress and abandoned it, then I saw my opponent .
“Lady, what’s your name?”
“I’m Count of Isaac’s daughter…… Irene . I’m so sorry, Princess . ”
“It was a mistake . You don’t have to apologize . It’s a dress . All I need to do is just change it . It’s a good fate that I knew your face, so wouldn’t the lady accept a glass of wine, too?”
“Yes?”
“Don’t reject me, please . Because I told you not to apologize anymore . Someone said that the wine tastes so good today . ”
I smiled softly and picked up two new glasses instead of an existing wine glass, which was half empty .
“Come on, let’s have a drink here… . . Ahh!”

Then I held out to the opponent and deliberately stepped on the hem of my dress and stumbled, and poured them both .
“Argh!”
Hit the mark perfectly .
The dress, which was filled with wine from the two glasses, was simply worth seeing .
The young lady, who introduced herself as Irene, shouted in contemplation .
“Hey, what are you doing!”
“I’m sorry, Lady . God, I stepped on the hem of a dress like a fool, so… . . what can I do? Are you okay?”
I apologized to her actively, wondering what to do . like I’m really embarrassed by an unexpected mistake .
“I apologize . I’ll make up for the dress if you don’t mind . ”
“…it’s okay . ”
Irene turned her body with her mouth shaking .
Yeah, I said I made a mistake, but what’s the point of mincing it? If she thinks about it, it won’t be more than spitting in her face that she made a mistake first .
No matter how much I give or receive, she is the one who caused the damage .
When Irene left, people around me chattered as if they wanted me to hear .
“The Princess generously turned over the mistakes, she’s so shameless . ”
“She can make a mistake, but she doesn’t think anyone else could . ”
“How can that be?”
“Don’t do that . We just made a mistake at each other . ”
I stopped them with passing words then left the party .
The reason was an excuse to change a dirty dress, but in fact, there was a real purpose .
‘There she is . ’
I came out of the entrance to the hallway and saw a black hair just turning the corner .
After looking around the crowd area inside the party hall, luckily this area was quiet, I ran to grab the opponent and pushed her against the wall .
“Akh! Wh, who… . . ”
“Hey . ”
Irene stared at me with her rabbit eyes . I looked down at my opponent, who was about half a span smaller than me, with my arms locked .
“Why did you just do that to me?”
