Chapter 18

Despite the ridiculous excuse, the Crown Prince still looked at Louis as if he found him adorable and took the lead, walking ahead.

I was about to follow the two of them when I saw the gem on the magical device sparkling, so I headed to a secluded spot in one corner of the garden.

Soon the magical device’s effect would end.

He said it would charge when exposed to sunlight.

After looking around and confirming no one was there, I pressed the gem on the magical device to release the invisibility.

Then I placed the bracelet on a stone that received good sunlight and hid in the shade of a tree.

“Haah…”

What a truly exhausting day.

I crouched down and let out a sigh.

I would need to wait about 10 minutes for the magical device to charge.

I hid behind a tree trunk to conceal my presence during that time.

And just as I was about to look up at the sky.

Shing-.

With a sharp sound, something cold touched my neck.

My pale, frightened face was reflected in the well-polished blade.

“I felt like someone was watching. So a little rat had snuck in.”

What? Why is the Crown Prince here?

Because of the blade against my neck, I couldn’t even swallow carelessly.

I looked around with tense eyes, but Louis, who had gone out with the Crown Prince, was nowhere to be seen.

Even if I tried to hide my appearance again, the problem was that I didn’t have the magical device in my hands right now.

I looked down at the gleaming blade and gulped.

“Raise your hands.”

I obediently raised both hands to show him.

“Turn your head.”

“The, the blade is…”

“Turn it.”

The Crown Prince showed no consideration for my situation.

I carefully turned my head, avoiding the blade as much as possible.

The sensation of the blade digging into my neck was chilling.

Feeling warm blood trickling down from my neck, I looked back at the Crown Prince.

“Young lady…”

Then the Crown Prince frowned.

Did he recognize me?

We had met at the Marquis’ mansion last time and even exchanged introductions, so he might remember.

As I bit my lip, the Crown Prince asked quietly.

“Who are you?”

What? He can’t remember even after we introduced ourselves?

I looked at the Crown Prince with an incredulous expression, feeling absurd.

“I am René of the Sauver County.”

However, since there was currently a blade at my neck, I obediently introduced myself.

“I see, Lady Sauver. What business do you have sneaking into the First Princess’s palace?”

The Crown Prince asked while looking at me without withdrawing the blade.

I swallowed dry saliva and thought of an excuse.

Is that really the only option?

I sighed inwardly and looked at the Crown Prince with tearful eyes as I spoke.

“Actually, I am Your Highness’s ardent fan. I had no opportunity to see Your Highness the Crown Prince, but I heard you were scheduled to attend Her Highness the First Princess’s tea party today…”

I was about to continue when.

“Hey, you bastard-!”

Suddenly Louis burst out.

I looked with wide eyes at Louis running from far away, and Louis…

“Who are you pointing a sword at right now!”

He ran from afar and flew—literally flew for a brief moment—showing off the feat of kicking the blade with his foot.

Clang-!

He kicked it so hard that the sword flew far away and fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Louis glared at the Crown Prince while breathing heavily, and the Crown Prince looked back and forth between the sword on the ground and Louis with eyes that had grown so wide they seemed ready to tear.

And I saw it.

[13% until world destruction]

The window that appeared.

Rumble-.

A sound like thunder and lightning struck, and I could see the crimson crack of light crossing the sky growing even larger.

I hurriedly grabbed Louis’s arm.

However, Louis couldn’t calm down easily.

“Lou-, no, Beatrice. Calm down.”

“That bastard pointed a sword at you! How can I calm down! You said you wouldn’t get stabbed!”

“That was your story. I’m…”

An extra, so I might get stabbed after all.

I swallowed the words on the tip of my tongue and first tried to soothe the excited Louis.

“Beatrice, go to the carriage first. I’ll talk with His Highness for a bit and then come…”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Are you trying to get stabbed again?”

“I didn’t get stabbed…”

“Wipe the blood from your neck first before talking?”

Ah, right. My neck is bleeding, that’s right.

I hurriedly covered my neck. Slippery blood got on my hand.

Louis saw me fumbling with my neck, made a face, and reached out his hand.

Then he firmly grabbed my neck.

“At this rate, when will you ever stop the bleeding?”

I almost screamed from the touch pressing firmly on the wound.

So stopping bleeding really hurts.

I pressed on my neck as Louis had taught me and looked back at the Crown Prince.

“Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince, who had been staring blankly at Louis, belatedly came to his senses and looked at me.

I bowed my head deeply and apologized.

“I apologize. In my admiration for Your Highness, I ended up committing an act I should not have done. If you wish to punish me, I will gladly…”

“What punishment? If anyone should be punished, it should be that bastard. Where does he get off pointing a sword and acting crazy?”

Louis, please just stay quiet.

He had done quite well at the tea party, but when an urgent situation arose, he seemed to have forgotten where we were.

I secretly hit Louis’s waist where the Crown Prince couldn’t see and continued speaking.

“If you wish to punish me, I will gladly accept it.”

“You did it out of admiration for me?”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

“Come to think of it, you said you were my fan.”

Fortunately, he seemed to remember the excuse I had made.

I was worried he might have forgotten with Louis’s shocking entrance.

“Right. That’s perfectly understandable.”

The Crown Prince was a character with severe narcissism.

Rather than making up lengthy excuses, saying ‘I did it because I like you’ and flattering him was 100 times better.

Sure enough, the Crown Prince nodded as if he finally understood.

“Let’s discuss this matter again next time. For now, go back and receive treatment.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground, sheathed it, then turned to look at Louis.

“Come to think of it, Lady Sauver was your dear friend. I’m sorry for hurting a friend you cherish. I understand why you’re angry.”

A 100% favorability rating is truly frightening.

But wait, I kicked his sword and even cursed at him, so why is his favorability still at 100%? Shouldn’t it have dropped?

After thinking for a moment, I soon recalled the fact that the Crown Prince was hopelessly obsessed with appearances.

Ah, that’s right—this bastard Crown Prince was absolutely infatuated with Beatrice’s face.

Even in the original story, no matter what Beatrice did, he’d forgive everything just by looking at her face.

What a damn superficial lookist.

The crime of daring to kick the Crown Prince’s sword and curse at him should have warranted the death penalty, yet the Crown Prince actually apologized instead.

I felt the heroine’s power anew as I jabbed Louis’s side with my elbow.

I had to restore the collapsed logic of this situation, even now.

I gave Louis a look telling him to quickly say it was fine, but instead he crossed his arms and snorted in response.

“Does being sorry make it all better?”

Would using formal speech make you any better, Louis?

I hid my feeling of going absolutely crazy and called out “Beatrice?” to Louis.

“Since His Highness is apologizing like this, how about we let it slide? It’s also my fault for sneaking into the Palace.”

Louis’s lips twitched as if to say something, but I quickly struck his side with my elbow again.

With a grunt, Louis closed his mouth and glared at the Crown Prince with sharp, fierce eyes.

I’m the one who hit you, so why are you glaring at the Crown Prince?

I quickly jabbed Louis’s side once more, meaning for him to withdraw that disrespectful gaze.

Then Louis sighed and said he understood, clicking his tongue with a “tsk.”

“Fine, we’re even.”
