Episode 71
Translator : Missme Editor : Aru
‘As expected from the male lead . ’
As expected, the Crown Prince was not pushed back at all by the majority attack . Far from being pushed back, he pushed them by himself .
At a glance, the prince’s seemingly insignificant move and beat the masked assailant one by one .
I watched the scene as if I were watching a movie .
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the Crown Prince had made his name by force since he was a boy .
‘The rumour is true . ’
Anyway, he was like a person in charge of ‘not a person’ in the original story and reality alongside Ash .
“Ugh!”
It was quick enough for half of the masked pack to lie on the floor .
Looking to the side, Dylan lowered her sword and moved closer to Ari . She seemed to have decided that she didn’t have to join .
It was the same with Sir Davery, he stood by my side .
Meanwhile, another half of the remaining assailant group decorated the floor . Now there were only four or five opponents standing still .
At this point, the masked captain strolled back .
‘This, this isn’t what I expected . . ’ would be what he’s thinking right now .
I felt like I could hear his mind even if I didn’t use reading techniques . That’s how extra character’s psychology works in this situation .
The Crown Prince confronted the remaining number of people with a relaxed attitude .
The masked captain seemed to have a fever at the moment, but he seemed more upset and resentful because he couldn’t do anything about it .
‘Just give up . ’
No matter how I look at it, his plan was already ruined . However, the masked captain, like an extra villain, did not easily give up and rolled his eyes as if he was trying to find a final breakthrough .
I was watching such a mask captain’s futile efforts when I suddenly had eye contact with the opponent .
‘Huh?’
Was it just my feeling? The masked captain looked just as surprised .
What can I say, like he saw a ghost?
What is it?
What’s wrong? I don’t feel good about this . Then the masked captain shouted urgently .
“Change the target!”
“……?”
“Ignore the Crown Prince from now on . Instead, all targeting that red-haired woman! Do it!”
“What?”
‘Me?’
The masked assailants swarmed after listening to the captain . To the point where I think they have been drugged . As soon as the order was given, they rushed immediately at me without hesitation .
Sir Davery immediately stood in front of me, holding the sword, and the Crown Prince moved quickly .
While the two men dealt with the number of people who attacked me, the masked leader fled from his seat and disappeared .
I was dumbfounded after the situation had been cleared up in a flash .
‘Why?’
I can’t believe he ordered his people to go after me, not Ari . This was another shock .
“Why to eonni…?”
Looking back, Ari seemed quite surprised, too .
Of course, it wasn’t that he was really trying to do anything with me, but rather simply turning the prince’s nerves and making time for himself to run away .
Even so, it’s me instead of Ari . This has become a very fresh experience lately .
‘What was the surprise?’
There was something else on my mind . If it wasn’t my illusion, the masked captain must have been surprised to the point where he changed his complexion when he saw me .
‘If it weren’t for the mask, I would have known better . ’
What did he mean? The man who ran away anyway can’t be caught and interrogated right away, so let’s just think that he was mistaken .
“Are you all right?”
At that time, the voice of the prince awakened his worries . I followed the voice and looked back at him .
“I’m alrig……”
I answered without difficulty and I blurted out the end of my words at any moment . I read the concern in the face of the prince who looked at me .
The light of concern on his green eyes was so clear and that I could hardly ignore it . No matter how many masked men came at me at the end, it was originally a raid aimed at him .
Under such circumstances, the Crown Prince did not have any hesitation and only concerned, worrying, and looking over me . I knew where the feelings that I would be able to grasp come from .
I know what kind of feelings he had from .
The mouth moved by itself .
“……I’m fine . Thanks to your presence, I didn’t get hurt at all . ”
“That surprised me……”
“Your Highness . ”
I glanced at the Crown Prince . The fresh green eyes were so deep and clear that it was like a green sea . They were pretty eyes . That’s why I couldn’t hesitate anymore .
“I would like to thank you for the kindness you showed me today, and I would like to thank you for what happened in the territory last time . ”
“…… . . ”
“But you don’t have to do that next time . No, please don’t . I’m not good enough for such kindness . ”
“Princess . ”
“Thank you for taking care of me . ”
The carriage stop was close from here . Enough to go without guidance .
I bent my upper body and deliberately turned away without looking at the crown prince’s face . The sunset was thick .
A masked man ran madly down the road .
His face was not revealed because of the mask, but he seemed to be in a hurry .
‘I was alive . ’
His heart throbbed . His palms were sweaty .
His eyes were shaking like an earthquake . The man has passed the dry saliva .
‘The cursed seed was alive . I have to let them know right away . The blood that will ruin the country is not dead . ’
The man, who deliberately chose the forest road in fear of pursuit, disappeared dizzily among the trees .
The way back home after taking Ari first seemed rather far today .
When I got off the carriage, Sir Davery suddenly opened his mouth .
“He seemed sincere . ”
“Huh?”
“I told you before, do you remember? I’m good at reading other people’s minds . ”
I was escorted and went down to the ground . Standing on the hard floor, his voice went on .
“It seemed sincere to me . Even though you pushed him away without giving him a second chance . ”
“……where did you notice? In such a short time?”
“I only saw what I could see . ”
I lifted and let go of my shoulders . There was no subject, but I couldn’t understand it .
A light sighed followed with double decisiveness as if it was my turn .
“True or not, it doesn’t matter much to me . If he’s sincere about it, I’m more sorry . You know since you’ve seen it, but I’ve already turned it down . ”
“Why did you reject him?”
“What do you mean by ‘why’?”
I tried to carry on naturally but stopped in the middle to check what answer to spit out .
I didn’t let go of the tension . No one else could have said anything useless in front of Sir Davery, which could lead to irreparable consequences . Not just that .
“Do I need a reason for that?”
“My lady . ”
“Why?”
“I think there are three conditions for an ideal man . Face, money, personality . And the most important thing of all… . ”
“Personality?”
“Face . ”
‘Why?’
“I’d like to hear an explanation . ”
“People’s personalities change according to the environment, and whether people have money or not, their face won’t change .
“People’s faces change, too . People would get old anyway . ”
“A handsome face would age handsomely . ”
‘Well, there’s a point in his words . ’’
I almost nodded, but I refuted it for no reason .
“What if they gain a lot of weight or become shabby?”
“You can always fix that . Anyway, the basic look would never go anywhere . ”
“What if they get into an accident and maybe their nose falls down?”
“It can be interpreted that human features are somewhat unchanging enough unless there are exceptional unfortunate cases . ”
That’s what I’m saying .
I changed my direction and continued my words .
“Okay . What about personality? You said it depends on the environment, but I don’t think personality is the kind of person who goes anywhere so easily . ”
“Personality … . ”
Sir Davery seemed to be lost in thought for a moment . However, the answer that followed was very firm .
“… . was the first thing that changes when the environment changes . You can’t depend on it . ”
“You’re too sure, aren’t you?”
“I’d appreciate it if you could consider it to be a mixture of experiences . ”
There was nothing more to say if he said so .
It’s based on his experience, heh? Well, the circumstances of Sir Davery’s life have changed a lot along the way, so his personality could be different from what I’ve seen and from what he’d experienced .
I was curious about what Sir Davery mentioned, but I didn’t ask . It may not be a pleasant memory . I’ve got another grumble instead .
“Yes, let’s say it changes . But there must be something basic in personality like a person’s features . No matter how my personality changes depending on the environment, I think the basics will remain . ”
“That would be so . ”
“Then…”
“But the ‘basic’ isn’t usually known . The basic personality of people usually revealed only when the environment dramatically changed . So I think it makes sense to put a priority on a face that can always be judged at a glance, rather than on a basic personality that we can’t see unless it’s under such special conditions . ”
“…… . ”
I let go of a little silence and gave a brief retort .
“I lost . ”
“I didn’t mean to have an argument . ”
“I know, I wonder why this happened . ”
Somehow, there was a long war of words, which made me wonder what the meaning of this was .
When I turned around after exchanging a lot of words, there was a late mixture of absurdity .
“What I’m trying to say is, by my standards, he was quite an ideal man . ”
“It must be hard . ”
If the face was the standard, no one can meet the standard as much as the Crown Prince .
‘…other than ash . ’
But I couldn’t say this unless I was going to sell my grave . I swallowed my thoughts silently .
