【Chapter 133】

“Did I hit you or something? What did I do? I just asked some questions as your real brother out of curiosity, isn’t it weirder that you’re crying over that?”

My brother, who had been pretending not to know, put his arm around Lenstor’s shoulder.

In the hand that casually draped over his shoulder was the bouquet that Lenstor had intended to give me.

“Right, Lenstor?”

“Y-yes, yes. Th-that’s right.”

Lenstor stammered like a boy getting his money stolen by a scary older kid.

It was pitiful to watch, but I wasn’t into men who got scared and cried because of Lucas either…

‘More importantly, I need to meet Count Rowan.’

The real problem was that my plans were disrupted because of Lucas.

‘What should I do? It’ll probably be difficult with my brother around…’

I discreetly looked around my surroundings.

Around me were young nobles holding bouquets, waiting their turn with high spirits even after seeing Lenstor about to burst into tears.

About 5-6 of them?

Good, this should be enough to buy some time.

“Brother.”

“What?”

“Um, there are young nobles over there holding bouquets and waiting for their turn…”

“Really? You guys come over here too.”

With one gesture from Lucas, several young nobles approached hesitantly.

The young nobles who had smiled brightly when making eye contact with me turned to stone when they faced Lucas.

They must have witnessed the earlier incidents.

‘Sorry, but I didn’t ask you to court me, and this was something you all chose to do in the first place…’

Those who covet the Croste family, bear the weight of that desire.

“Which family are you from?”

“Yes, I am…”

“Shut your mouth. You won’t meet my standards anyway.”

I glanced at my brother putting his arm around another young noble’s shoulder and quietly slipped away from the group.

Fortunately, his gaze remained fixed only on the young nobles until I completely escaped his line of sight.

“Sigh. I wonder if that personality will ever be fixed…”

Though I said that, I was actually feeling quite confident thanks to Lucas.

Since the young nobles who went through my brother all burst into tears without exception, people stopped bothering me.

‘Power is the best. Being strong is the best.’

Swoosh, as I turned my gaze and looked around, the young nobles who had been glancing at me quickly turned their heads away.

Now it’s finally a bit quieter.

Count Rowan hasn’t arrived yet, so I should kill some time with the young ladies.

“Snow flowers from the Himalayan Mountains, you say?”

“Yes, it was my first time seeing them in person, and they were really beautiful.”

“I wonder who they brought such precious things as gifts for?”

Hmm. Found an interesting topic of conversation.

With a leisurely gaze, I scanned various groups and poked my face between the shoulders of young ladies talking about snow flowers from the Himalayan Mountains.

“What are you all talking about?”

1 hour earlier.

After the completion ceremony of the Monster Training Facility ended, the nobles split into two groups.

Among them, Naty from the Hillibya Marquis Family, who had been enjoying the party in the banquet hall, was taking a stroll around the Duke’s Castle Wall.

Having come to the North for the first time, she had naturally never seen snow before either, so she looked around with curiosity.

Being in a completely white space made her feel like she had become a princess from a fairy tale.

Not just any princess, but a dwarf princess from a land of little people.

“Nili. Why are people here so tall?”

“D-don’t worry. If anything happens to you, Miss, I’ll scream at the top of my lungs and somehow save you.”

I just asked out of curiosity, so why is she being so dramatic all by herself?

“Save what? All the nobles of the Frozen Kingdom are here. This is a banquet, Nili.”

“Before it’s a banquet, this place is the North. A place crawling with monsters!”

“Yeah. And because it’s crawling with monsters, the Croste family protects it.”

She found the particularly tall Northerners both fascinating and attractive.

Look here and there’s a handsome man. Look there and there’s another handsome man.

In the Western Region where she lived, there was no subjugation, let alone war, so many knights only learned swordsmanship in theory.

However, the people of the North, from knights to even servants, stood out with their broad shoulders and solid builds.

Their expressionless faces seemed relaxed yet hard to find openings in, emanating an unapproachable atmosphere.

‘These days, even in novels, the trend is fatal villains rather than princes on white horses. I think I understand why.’

It was just as Naty was about to move her steps while blankly staring at the patrolling knights.

Thud.

She bumped her forehead into something hard and stopped.

Startled, she looked up and saw…

“Eek!”

“M-Miss, d-danger…”

A black shadow falling over her head. And purple eyes she had never seen before in her life.

Nili beside her whispered-shouted, unable to even scream properly.

Regardless, Naty, who finally got a detailed look at the person in her field of vision, was completely dazed.

It was as if time had stopped.

He was a very tall young man wearing a black robe, with snow-white hair.

Below his painting-like features, the characteristically full muscles of Northerners that Naty had been eyeing earlier were hidden within his perfectly fitted robe.

His shadowed eyes beneath pale silver dense eyelashes were directed toward her-

“I apologize.”

“Y-yes?”

Naty, who had been blankly staring at the man, stammered in surprise at the sudden voice.

“We bumped into each other. I’m apologizing.”

A heavy bass voice flowed out that didn’t quite match his beautiful face.

Naty slowly shook her head while thinking about who he might be.

Since she had never seen his face in high society, he probably wasn’t a noble.

He was too handsome to be a servant, and he was looking down at her, a noble, far too confidently.

His knuckles were covered in scars, but he was holding some bouquet instead of a sword to be a knight…

‘A bouquet?’

She unconsciously lowered her gaze and looked at the unwrapped flower buds for a moment, then realized what they were and opened her eyes wide.

They were Himalayan snow flowers that only bloomed in the particularly cold snowy plains of the North, something she had only seen in fairy tales.

“Those flowers…!”

“Ah, I actually need to give these away. Do you happen to know where Princess Aisha is?”

Princess Aisha?

At the mention of her, who had recently been the center of attention among young nobles, Naty quietly lifted her head.

And the moment she made direct eye contact with the man’s purple eyes, which had been polite throughout-

She immediately realized.

Even though she was right in front of him, the man wasn’t looking at her at all.

He had simply apologized because they bumped into each other, and asked a question since she happened to be in front of him.

The purple eyes looking at her seemed to have already arrived beside Princess Aisha, whom he was searching for.

“Well… I don’t know either.”

Unconsciously tensed by that blind gaze, Naty stepped back and murmured.

Then the young man passed by her without hesitation.

After some time had passed like that.

“Oh my, Miss! Are you alright, Miss?!”

As Nati’s legs gave out and she swayed, Nili snapped back to her senses and quickly supported her while bursting into tears.

“I’m sorry, Young Lady! I should have done something, but my body froze up without me realizing…”

“Nili. That man, he’s planning to propose to Princess Aisha by giving her that flower, isn’t he?”

“It, it does seem that way… but is that really the issue right now? Your body is…”

“Of course it’s a huge issue! This is a scoop!”

Suddenly filled with newfound energy, Nati sprang forward like a coiled spring.

“Young Lady, where are you going!”

She could hear Nili’s startled voice calling from behind, but Nati’s attention was already entirely focused on finding a group of young ladies gathered for gossip.

As someone with the nickname ‘the megaphone of high society,’ Nati couldn’t just sit still after seeing that man.

At the same time.

Unlike the nobles enjoying the banquet, there were those being given a tour inside the training grounds.

They were the people Callipus had selected and invited based on strict criteria.

The heads of northern families who would immediately be interested in monster training.

Members of the Monster Appreciation Society and the King of Grace.

Also, representative nobles who would spread today’s news to their respective regions.

Nox, standing with the guide, explained to the nobles.

“Monster training began with a species called Peri. Originally, Peri were troublesome because they had the habit of pouncing on people’s faces whenever they encountered them, but thanks to the trainer, we learned that this habit was actually their way of greeting.”

“Pouncing on faces is a greeting?”

“What a boisterous way to say hello.”

Several nobles muttered in negative tones, when a young Peri tilted its head curiously and climbed onto the guide’s shoulder.

The nobles’ wariness instantly softened upon seeing that adorable face.
