Chapter 51

Phew… I am a fan of the Crown Prince. No, I must be a fan.

With that self-brainwashing, I pretended to be shy and took the Crown Prince’s hand.

“It’s an honor, Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince smiled warmly as he took my hand, and I left the Imperial Palace together with him.

Since the Imperial Knights would be responsible for my safety, Kaisis left the palace first under the Crown Prince’s order to return to the Count’s mansion.

Normally, he would have insisted on never leaving my side…

Kaisis’s attitude was definitely strange somehow.

But I couldn’t figure out why, which was frustrating.

I lowered my gaze and swallowed the rising sadness and frustration.

On the way, the Crown Prince constantly talked to me.

Each time, I had to pretend to smile shyly until my mouth corners were practically cramping.

“The roses in my palace are quite beautiful.”

“I see.”

“If you want, you could stay a few more days in my palace. You’d be able to see the roses to your heart’s content.”

“Thank you for the offer, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been home.”

I pretended to be shy and lowered my head while secretly clicking my tongue.

I didn’t know why the Crown Prince was suddenly acting this way toward me, but I didn’t like it.

The Crown Prince brought me to his palace, and as soon as I entered, I widened my eyes at the thick floral fragrance that hit my nose.

What he said about the roses in the Crown Prince’s palace being beautiful was true.

Colorful roses in full bloom surrounded the Crown Prince’s palace everywhere.

How much would it cost to maintain all of this?

Once again amazed by the wealth of the Imperial Family, I looked around with my mouth agape.

Following the Crown Prince to a table placed in one corner of the garden, I saw a familiar face.

“Beatrice?”

Louis Sauver also seemed surprised to see me, his eyes widening as he looked at me.

The Crown Prince smiled proudly and instructed a maid to bring refreshments to the garden, and we sat at the table placed in one corner of the garden.

Seeing me constantly looking around, the Crown Prince spoke up.

“Lady Sauver seems to like the flowers. You’ve been looking around continuously since earlier.”

“Yes. They’re quite beautiful.”

It was an obviously awkward and blunt tone, but the oblivious Crown Prince didn’t notice.

“I’ll have them wrap up a few stems for you to take when you leave.”

The Crown Prince said this with a smile.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

I bowed my head in greeting, and shortly after, a maid came to prepare the refreshments.

The colors of the desserts were incredible.

I picked up a fork to eat the dessert, but the Crown Prince spoke to me again.

“You made quite a great contribution in this hunting competition.”

“You’re too kind.”

I answered halfheartedly and aimed for the dessert again.

But the Crown Prince hardly gave me time to eat the dessert.

“If it weren’t for you, many nobles would have died. That would have been a great blow to this country as well.”

I put down my fork with a displeased expression.

It seemed difficult to eat dessert as long as the Crown Prince kept talking.

Regardless, Louis Sauver was glaring at the Crown Prince as if his eyes would pop out.

He seemed to be trying to gauge what the reason was for suddenly inviting him and me.

I secretly kicked Louis Sauver’s leg under the table.

Please manage your expression.

Louis Sauver frowned with a grumpy expression.

“The nobles are also praising your actions.”

“I see.”

“I heard you injured your back then, are you feeling better now?”

“Yes, thanks to the good doctor the Imperial Court provided, I’m fine now.”

“That’s fortunate to hear.”

The Crown Prince fired off another sickly sweet smile.

I awkwardly turned my head to avoid that smile.

By the way, why does the Crown Prince keep talking only to me?

He had called Louis Sauver but was blatantly treating him like he was invisible while showing interest only in me.

I was about to drink some tea in the awkward atmosphere when the Crown Prince made an “ah” sound and asked.

“Come to think of it, does Lady Sauver have a fiancé?”

“No, not yet.”

“Then a lover?”

“Unfortunately…”

As my words trailed off, the Crown Prince somehow looked satisfied.

“Does Lady Sauver have any thoughts of marriage?”

“Not at the moment, but I suppose if I meet a good person someday, I might.”

I gently expressed that I had no intention of getting married.

But the Crown Prince seemed to interpret this differently.

The Crown Prince suddenly propped his chin and leaned toward me.

Even while doing this, the Crown Prince kept glancing at Louis Sauver.

Don’t tell me this is…

“So you mean you’ll marry if you meet a good person?”

“Yes, well…”

“Then let me ask you something.”

“Please ask.”

“Am I a good person to Lady Sauver?”

“Pardon?”

When I blinked in confusion, the Crown Prince smiled as if I was cute.

The Crown Prince’s attitude felt strangely like acting.

“Could you give me an answer?”

The words “You’re trash” rose to my throat, but I held them back.

As I was rolling my eyes in difficulty, I made eye contact with Louis Sauver sitting across from me.

Louis Sauver also made an expression of disbelief, then put his index finger to his temple and spun it around.

This guy must be crazy.

I nodded slightly at Louis Sauver’s lip-read words.

“I think you’re someone who sets an example for the people.”

It was obviously a lie.

I answered roughly and tried to change the subject.

But the Crown Prince was one step faster.

“Then that means you’re willing to marry me.”

What? Why did the conversation jump there?

When I blinked in confusion, Louis Sauver chimed in as if frustrated.

“Your Highness, I don’t think that’s what Lady Sauver meant.”

“Why? She just said she’s willing to marry if she meets a good person.”

“Yes, that’s true, but…”

That wasn’t referring to you though.

As I mumbled my words, Louis Sauver, perhaps frustrated, interrupted again.

“But Lady Sauver didn’t clearly answer that Your Highness the Crown Prince is a good person.”

“Really? Then let me tell you. I’m a good person.”

Since when did being a good person become something you could claim about yourself?

“So I’ll make you a proposal.”

But the Crown Prince, unaware of my inner thoughts, just looked at me with a caring smile.

“Rene Sauver, how about you become my Crown Princess?”

“Pardon?”

What was even more ridiculous was that while the Crown Prince was making this proposal-not-proposal to me, he was constantly watching Louis Sauver’s reaction.

By this point, it became clear.

The reason the Crown Prince had called Louis Sauver here too was to provoke jealousy.

“Your Highness, I want to marry someone I love.”

When I politely declined, the Crown Prince chuckled and approached me.

“Then you can start loving me from now on.”

“Your Highness, Lady Sauver seems to be saying she wants to marry a man other than Your Highness.”

Louis Sauver’s words made me feel refreshed and I smiled.

I didn’t forget to give him a thumbs up when the Crown Prince wasn’t looking.

The Crown Prince glanced at Louis Sauver who kept interfering, then smiled.

“Beatrice, seeing how you keep interrupting my conversation with Lady Sauver, you must be jealous?”

I could see veins bulging on Louis Sauver’s forehead.

He had been quiet lately, but now I could see signs that Louis Sauver’s temper was about to explode again.

“Haha, I thought so. Then Beatrice, I’ll give you the position of concubine.”

Screech—.

As soon as the Crown Prince spoke, there was a sound like metal being crushed from somewhere.

I looked down to find the source of the sound, and saw Louis Sauver crumpling a tea spoon with his hand hidden behind the teapot.

It wasn’t even paper—could that really be crushed so easily?

But the Crown Prince, completely oblivious to this atmosphere, opened his mouth with a bright smile.

“To be honest, Beatrice’s family is more suitable for the next Empress than Rene’s family. But if Rene has divine magical power, she could certainly become Empress. If you want to become Empress, Beatrice, I hope you’ll show the appropriate abilities.”

Screech—.

The metallic sound grew louder.

I looked at Louis Sauver with anxious eyes.

Now Louis Sauver’s face was on the verge of exploding.

“Rene, if you become Crown Princess, I hope you’ll also work hard on raising descendants. Who knows, there might be a child born with divine magical power among the heirs.”

What kind of nonsense is this?

As the Crown Prince’s remarks increasingly crossed the line, I was looking at him with an incredulous expression when Louis Sauver muttered.

“This bastard…”

Louis Sauver’s eyes were glowing menacingly toward the Crown Prince.

“Rene, I promised you recently and I’m sorry for breaking it, but I can’t stand you hearing such words from this guy.”

Louis Sauver gave me a brief apology, then abruptly stood up from his seat.
