Chapter 42

 

Despite her lovely appearance, the First Princess wore an extremely venomous expression.

 

The maids paced anxiously in front of the First Princess’s room, not knowing what to do.

 

But none of them dared to enter.

 

If they went in, they would surely face her wrath.

 

First Princess Elizabeth grabbed whatever was within reach and threw it around indiscriminately.

 

She had just heard from her close maid that the Duke had gone on a matchmaking meeting with Rene Sauver.

 

Elizabeth couldn’t contain her boiling rage.

 

Rene Sauver.

 

What was so special about that gloomy, worthless woman?

 

To reject a meeting with her and go on a matchmaking date with that woman instead!

 

“Aaaaah!”

 

An expensive porcelain piece from the East shattered helplessly in Elizabeth’s hands.

 

Elizabeth stood in the middle of the room, grinding her teeth.

 

How could she make that woman fall away from the Duke’s side?

 

Elizabeth racked her brain.

 

According to rumors she’d heard, Rene Sauver was said to be a timid and weak woman.

 

If that was true, then just a little intimidation would make her run away from the Duke.

 

Elizabeth chewed her lips and rolled her eyes frantically.

 

It seemed she would need to give her a good scare.

 

It was then that the First Princess thought of the tiger she was raising.

 

The hunting competition would be held soon.

 

That woman would surely attend the hunting competition too.

 

In that case….

 

“I’ll make her pay for daring to covet my man.”

 

Elizabeth smiled eerily as she formulated a plan in her head.

 

* * *

 

Before I knew it, the day had come for Shamal to join the Dragon Hunt Expedition. I had no choice but to postpone the meeting between Louis Sauver and Shamal for later.

 

Above all, I needed to reconcile with Louis Sauver first before I could introduce them or not.

 

And finally, the day of the hunting competition dawned.

 

That meant today was the day of Louis Sauver’s Sword Master proclamation ceremony.

 

Though it was slightly different from the original work, the events at the hunting competition would probably be similar.

 

Due to the First Princess’s scheme, Beatrice would be forced to go to the hunting grounds, face dangerous wolves and be in peril, but the Duke and Crown Prince would appear from somewhere and rescue her magnificently.

 

For some reason, I felt like Louis Sauver would want to go to the hunting grounds on his own rather than due to the First Princess’s scheme.

 

Anyway, since it was certain that Louis Sauver would go to the hunting grounds, I had also applied to participate in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

 

I opened my mouth while receiving the maids’ styling with an uneasy heart.

 

“I think you can stop the styling now. I have to change into riding clothes later anyway.”

 

I’m doing this much for Louis Sauver, but he still hasn’t said anything.

 

When I pouted my lips feeling unnecessarily upset, a maid dabbed color on my lips.

 

That’s not what I stuck them out for.

 

“I told you, you don’t need to dress me up this much?”

 

Nevertheless, the maids ignored my words and busied themselves with styling me.

 

Fine, do whatever you want!

 

When I headed to the hunting grounds where the hunting competition was being held, I could see nobles gathered in droves.

 

The proclamation ceremony was held in a small banquet hall attached near the hunting grounds.

 

This was because the competition was scheduled to begin immediately after the proclamation ceremony ended.

 

I entered the banquet hall still wearing my dress.

 

Inside the banquet hall, it was bustling with nobles wearing riding clothes to participate in the hunting competition and numerous nobles who came to cheer them on.

 

As I stood surrounded by the nobles, I saw someone approaching.

 

The affection gauge floating above the man’s head sparkled.

 

[Affection 100%]

 

It was our piece of trash and the Crown Prince who always had 100% affection.

 

The Crown Prince looked around as if searching for someone, then immediately made eye contact with me and came straight toward me.

 

No, why are you coming this way?

 

I awkwardly rolled my eyes and tried to escape, but the Crown Prince called out to me first.

 

“Lady Sauver.”

 

I swallowed a sigh inwardly and turned to look at the Crown Prince.

 

“I greet Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

 

The Crown Prince smiled gently and stood beside me.

 

I could feel the gazes of the young ladies sticking to us.

 

“Have you been well?”

 

“Yes, well….”

 

As I avoided his eyes and inwardly chanted ‘please just go away,’ the Crown Prince tilted his head.

 

“But are you really my fan?”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“I’ve been feeling this since last time, but you don’t really seem like my fan.”

 

Ah, my true feelings must have shown without me realizing.

 

I wanted to throw away being a fan and everything, but since I might need to use the Crown Prince again later, I switched to ‘Crown Prince’s #1 fan’ mode.

 

I immediately opened my fan to cover my lips and shyly lowered my eyes.

 

“I have a habit of freezing up when I’m nervous….”

 

“Ah, that can happen.”

 

The Crown Prince smiled brightly as if he understood.

 

Then he suddenly made a worried face and looked at me.

 

“Since you’re Beatrice’s close friend, you must know her well.”

 

“Yes, that’s right.”

 

When I nodded in response, the Crown Prince spoke with a worried expression.

 

“Actually, I’m troubled because Beatrice doesn’t seem to open her heart to me easily.”

 

“Ah….”

 

“So I was wondering, could you help me?”

 

“For example, what kind of…?”

 

“Like telling me Beatrice’s type in men, or arranging places where Beatrice and I could be together.”

 

“I see….”

 

In short, he meant for me to help him get together with Louis Sauver.

 

I also wanted to pair Louis Sauver with one of the male leads if possible.

 

No, when I had just possessed this body, I even thought about wanting to pair the Crown Prince with Louis Sauver.

 

But thinking about the original work, the Crown Prince’s actions were absolutely unforgivable.

 

In the IF side story, he was trash who used his status to suppress Beatrice when she refused and kidnapped and confined her.

 

Of course, he later came to his senses, became a regretful male lead, begged for forgiveness and became a doormat, but I was still worried.

 

Would it be okay to pair Louis Sauver with this piece of trash?

 

Seeing my contemplative expression, the Crown Prince spoke as if offering a favor.

 

“If you help me, I’ll give you the opportunity to have a fan meeting with me.”

 

“What an honor that would be….”

 

As I awkwardly rolled my eyes, the Crown Prince smiled brightly.

 

“Since you’re my fan, I trust you won’t refuse this proposal.”

 

The Crown Prince looked at me with sparkling eyes.

 

I had to give an answer, but what should I say?

 

Since things might get more complicated if I refused carelessly, I answered as evasively as possible.

 

“I understand Your Highness’s words well.”

 

Don’t misunderstand.

 

I only said I understood, not that I would comply.

 

“Thank you.”

 

The Crown Prince, who couldn’t possibly understand my true intentions, patted my shoulder once as if his business was finished and left.

 

As soon as the Crown Prince disappeared, I brushed off the shoulder where his hand had touched.

 

Tsk.

 

* * *

 

The proclamation ceremony proceeded quickly.

 

Louis Sauver, neatly dressed in riding clothes rather than a dress, stepped up onto the dais.

 

When Louis Sauver knelt before the Emperor in greeting, the nobles applauded.

 

I too was forced to reluctantly clap along.

 

“I proclaim Beatrice Rockwood as Sword Master.”

 

When the Emperor touched Louis Sauver’s shoulders and head with his sword, thunderous cheers erupted.

 

Louis Sauver wore a smile on his lips as if he had finally achieved what he desired.

 

When Louis Sauver came down from the dais, the Crown Prince followed as if he had been waiting.

 

Soon I could see the two of them talking.

 

Still harboring resentment toward Louis Sauver, I turned around to head to the tent.

 

However.

 

“Miss Sauver.”

 

The Crown Prince called me.

 

I forced a smile and walked toward the Crown Prince.

 

“Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

 

When I curtsied while lifting my skirt, the Crown Prince grinned.

 

That was definitely a smile with ulterior motives.

 

“Miss Sauver is also participating in the hunting competition, right?”

 

“Pardon? Ah, I am, but…”

 

Something felt ominous.

 

“Then how about the three of us go together.”

 

The Crown Prince’s eyes as he said this with a smile contained silent pressure that said ‘accept immediately.’

 

He probably wants the three of us to go together so I can help push him and Beatrice together.

 

But having no intention of doing so, I smiled awkwardly and replied.

 

“Ah, I only submitted my entry application, but I wasn’t actually planning to participate.”

 

“Really? Then it can’t be helped. I made a bet with Miss Beatrice about catching wild beasts, so I was hoping you could be the judge.”

 

“What?!”

 

I couldn’t help but let out a shriek.

 

What, what are you doing?!

 

A bet about catching wild beasts?
