Chapter 11
“Because I caught you when you were about to fall.”
“Who asked you to catch me?”
Louis grumbled and crossed his arms.
“It seems you need to learn how to accept other people’s kindness first, Louis.”
Whether it was because he was a former thug, or because he died from betrayal.
Louis had a strong tendency to not trust other people easily.
“What if I get stabbed after accepting just any kindness?”
“Louis, this is a world inside a novel. People don’t just stab anyone. It’s different from the world you belonged to.”
Stabbing in a romance novel? That was ridiculous.
To begin with, 【Flower of the Greenhouse】 itself, though it was a tragic story, wasn’t the kind of work where people went around stabbing each other.
“You never know.”
“Of course, if it were a villain, the story would be a little different, but if a villain appears, I’ll let you know, so you don’t need to worry too much. And why would the male lead stab the female lead? That doesn’t make sense.”
“What if he suddenly doesn’t like the female lead anymore?”
“That won’t happen, Louis. And if someone stabs people just because they don’t like them, that’s a psychopath, not a male lead, right?”
“So my past self was a psychopath.”
“Well. Anyway, the male lead will absolutely never stab the female lead.”
“Being too certain about everything is a bad habit.”
“Being too suspicious like you, Louis, is also a bad habit.”
“It’s better than getting stabbed while walking around carelessly.”
“Well, I’m telling you that won’t happen.”
Maybe if I, an extra, got stabbed. But the probability of Louis getting stabbed was extremely low.
Even if a villain appeared wielding a knife, the male leads would throw their whole bodies to protect him.
“Anyway, you must use formal speech with all the male leads except Shamal. Informal speech is absolutely forbidden. They’re people of higher status than you, Louis, so you’ll be in big trouble if you speak informally. Especially to the Crown Prince.”
Speaking informally to royalty? Just thinking about it was terrifying. It would be amazing if he didn’t get punished for disrespect.
I repeatedly urged Louis to avoid informal speech and practiced speaking ‘kindly’ in formal language—the most important part.
Louis, who claimed to have been an executive director of a company in his past life, seemed more comfortable with speaking down to others than using formal speech, as he kept scrunching up his face even during practice.
Did he hate formal speech that much?
“Now, try following along. ‘Thank you, Your Highness.’ The key point is to do it while smiling brightly.”
“Tha…”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Thank…”
Louis’s eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched.
I really felt sorry, but with that kind of expression, even though he was the female lead, he looked truly scary.
All the male leads would probably run away.
“Damn it, I can’t do this.”
Louis, who had pulled down the corners of his mouth, muttered a curse.
I sighed and wondered what I should do with this man.
That’s when it happened.
“His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived.”
A maid who knocked on the door announced quietly.
Louis and I immediately made eye contact.
We were screwed.
Was there such an event in the original work too?
But no matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t remember any event where the Crown Prince visited Beatrice’s House in the original.
Knock knock.
Then, another knocking sound was heard, and the Crown Prince’s voice came from beyond the door.
“Beatrice, are you alright? I’ve come to visit you in your illness.”
Ah, it seems a new event was added because rumors spread that Louis was sick, changing things from the original.
At this rate, wouldn’t the world destruction gauge rise again?
I suppressed my worried feelings and led Louis to the bed.
“Lou—no, Beatrice! Lie down quickly!”
Louis, though annoyed, obediently lay down on the bed.
I covered him with a blanket and gave him instructions.
“You can do well with what you’ve learned so far, right?”
“I’m not confident, but I’ll give it a try.”
“Fighting! Oh, and since there are rumors that you’re sick, please act sick from time to time too.”
I patted the blanket down well, then stepped back to one side of the room and sent a look to the maid indicating she should open the door.
Soon the maid opened the door, and the Crown Prince entered.
Seeing the Crown Prince, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.
Because above the Crown Prince’s head
[Affection 100%]
—was sparkling brightly.
Affection 100%!
At this level, it seemed like pairing him with Louis would be nothing special.
“I greet His Highness the Crown Prince.”
In my excited mood, I grabbed my skirt and curtsied, but the Crown Prince didn’t spare me even a glance and headed straight to Louis.
Louis looked around cautiously, then honestly made a “cough” sound.
Crazy, who coughs like that?
“Are you very sick?”
However, the Crown Prince seemed not to have heard Louis’s artificial cough and showed a worried expression while reaching out his hand.
The Crown Prince’s hand swept through Louis’s hair.
Of course, Louis’s eyes immediately became triangular.
I quickly shook my head.
Please endure it, Louis.
Louis gritted his teeth and endured the Crown Prince’s touch.
I was truly relieved that he didn’t commit the disrespectful act of breaking the Crown Prince’s hand or something.
I let out a sigh of relief inwardly and carefully stepped forward.
“Your Highness, I’m sorry to say, but Beatrice’s throat is severely injured and she cannot speak.”
As if agreeing with those words, Louis coughed once more, honestly.
Just don’t do it at all.
“I see.”
The Crown Prince finally looked at me.
Golden hair that sparkled as if molten gold, deep blue eyes, and handsome features on top of that.
He looked exactly like the textbook prince on a white horse from fairy tales.
But did that make my heart flutter? No, it didn’t.
Because my unwavering number one in my heart, my ultimate favorite, was someone else, and perhaps because I knew what the Crown Prince had done in the original work, my heart wasn’t moved at all.
“What is your name, young lady?”
“I am Rene of Sauver County.”
“Ah. I see.”
The Crown Prince, who seemed to have asked out of courtesy and showed he had no interest at all, turned his gaze back to Louis.
Why did you ask then?
The Crown Prince stroked Louis’s cheek with worried eyes.
I could see the corners of Louis’s eyes twitching.
Hmm. It should be safe, right?
It would be terrible if Louis lost control here and slapped the Crown Prince’s cheek.
I watched Louis tensely.
Louis was glaring as if he might bite the Crown Prince at any moment.
Regardless, the Crown Prince was filming his own romance with an affectionate expression.
It would be hard to ignore Louis’s terrifying gaze, but he was truly impressive.
“Don’t get sick, Beatrice.”
“Cough. Cough.”
Louis, just keep your mouth shut. Please.
Despite Louis’s extremely artificial coughing, the Crown Prince paid no mind and continued stroking Louis’s cheek before finally rising from his seat.
“I can’t keep holding onto a sick person for too long, so I should be going now.”
I cheered inwardly.
It was fortunate that he was leaving before Louis exploded.
Louis also seemed pleased that the Crown Prince was leaving, as he indulged in extremely artificial coughing.
“Cough cough cough. Cough cough. Cough cough cough.”
Louis, please!
“Well then, I’ll be going now.”
“It was an honor, Your Highness.”
I bowed my head in greeting, and the Crown Prince kept looking only at Louis until the very end before leaving the bedroom.
Only after the door closed did I let out a sigh of relief and approach Louis.
“That bastard, does he want his hands cut off… Where does he get off touching someone else’s cheek so carelessly.”
“You endured it remarkably well.”
“You told me to endure it.”
“You did well.”
I clapped for him.
Though all Louis had really done was cough.
I quickly checked the world destruction gauge.
[8% until world destruction]
The numbers had risen slightly because the Crown Prince came to visit Louis’s sickbed unlike in the original story, but it was only a small increase, so I could feel relieved.
Plus, Louis had done really well too!
Maybe it only rose a little because Louis didn’t cause a scene?
If things continued like this, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
“Now then, let’s continue with the lesson we were doing…”
“Ah, come to think of it, Beatrice.”
Just then, the door suddenly opened and the Crown Prince burst in.
