92.

***

The boy was wearing his cloak’s hood pulled down low.

The hair that peeked out from underneath was golden blonde, and his eyes were a clear blue like the sky.

Siena looked over the boy’s appearance.

‘…What?’

She didn’t know who he was, but for some reason he looked very familiar.

‘Is he someone I’ve met before?’

Soon, the boy’s and Siena’s eyes met.

“…!”

He ran over without hesitation.

As if ‘Siena’ was his destination.

‘What, what? Who is this kid and why is he running straight to me?’

The boy stopped walking.

“Hello, sister-in-law… No, um… M-Miss?”

Unlike his rushing momentum, he was stammering and seemed flustered.

Siena replied awkwardly.

“…Yes?”

“Nice to see you again… No! It’s nice to meet you for the first time.”

The boy quickly corrected himself and smiled brightly.

“I’m Edel.”

When that name struck her mind, she felt her brain stop for a moment.

‘Edel?’

If it’s Edel…, isn’t that a prince’s name?

‘Edel la Peshirod Carnon’, the Second Prince of this Carnon Empire.

Come to think of it, he did look a lot like the Second Prince she saw at the ball.

Golden hair, blue eyes, clearly shining gaze.

Siena scratched the back of her neck as she recalled the day of the ball.

‘But… I don’t remember clearly.’

That day, her attention was focused on only two things.

First, Johan’s love manipulation.

Second, Lian who didn’t appear at the ball.

While she had no interest in all the various male leads crowding the banquet hall, there was no way she would have paid attention to a game NPC.

Then, suddenly the man standing behind Edel hurriedly approached.

He was, naturally… Pitt.

Though Siena didn’t know that.

“Ah, no. Young Master’s name isn’t Edel, it’s…”

When Pitt corrected him, Edel finally opened his mouth wide.

‘Oh no…!’

Without thinking, he had just said his real name!

“Ah…! It’s not Edel, it’s…”

His blue eyes rolled around rapidly in all directions.

Soon Edel clapped his hands together.

“E-E-E-Edelweiss…!”

“…”

“My name is Edelweiss. Edelweiss…”

Then he glanced at Pitt.

‘How about it, Pitt? It’s a decent fake name, right?!’

That’s what he meant.

Pitt fumbled for his handkerchief and barely managed to reply.

“Yes, this is Edelweiss de Vicelle.”

He dabbed at the sweat that had formed on his forehead.

Now, let me explain.

Why Edel and Pitt, these two people, were here…

Naturally, it was all because of Edel.

***

The previous ball incident.

“My thigh…! Pitt’s thigh hurts!”

No… after the ‘my thigh hurts’ incident, Edel had been confined to his room.

“Pitt, tell me honestly. What happened? Did the prince hit you? What unholy acts have you been committing every night?”

“Your Majesty the Empress, you are seriously misunderstanding. His Highness the Prince didn’t mean that…”

Fortunately, Pitt explained the situation well and they escaped suspicion.

However, the confinement was separate from the misunderstanding.

“M-Mother! It hurts! It hurts…”

“Prince, where does it hurt?”

“It hurts! Aaah! It hurts so much!”

“So where exactly…”

During the explanation process, it was revealed that Edel had helped Castillian escape.

He had deliberately caused the ‘my thigh hurts’ incident to give Castillian an opening.

The Empress naturally interrogated Edel.

“Edel, tell me. Where is Castillian now? Also, do you know anything about that woman from the ball?”

She thought that if she pressed his collaborator, even the smallest information would come out.

But who was Edel?

He was a fanatical Castillian devotee.

‘I absolutely, absolutely cannot tell!’

Because big brother asked me to keep it secret!

He would rather shout ‘the king has donkey ears’ in his heart than open his mouth to the end.

“I don’t know.”

“Edel.”

“I don’t know anything.”

It was an obvious lie, but… in the end, The Empress gave up.

No matter how much she pressed him, he showed no sign of opening his mouth.

“…Fine. Still, if Castillian confides only in you… that’s fortunate.”

She didn’t visit his room after that.

Nevertheless, the surveillance was strict.

It was because of the speculation that Castillian might suddenly visit only Edel.

Pitt was sweating nervously.

‘If The Prince really does come to visit…”

It would be a troublesome situation for both Castillian and Edel.

On the other hand, Edel wasn’t thinking about anything.

‘What is big brother doing now? He must be with sister-in-law, right?’

He just hoped the two of them would get together soon.

‘I want to become close with sister-in-law too!’

It was truly a happy cat-like thought process.

One day while living like this, Edel kicked off from the sofa and stood up.

“Pitt! This absolutely won’t do.”

“What won’t do, Your Highness?”

Pitt reflexively grabbed the handkerchief in his pocket.

He didn’t know exactly what was in Edel’s head.

But he was certain that this troublemaker prince would say something ridiculous.

As expected, Edel spouted something ridiculous.

“I want to go out!”

“…Pardon?”

“I’m going to leave the palace and visit sister-in-law!”

A sigh rose to the tip of his throat.

Pitt barely held back and replied.

“Your Highness… Absolutely not.”

“Why?”

“Pardon?”

“Brother leaves the palace all the time too.”

Edel blinked innocently.

Pitt deliberately bit down hard on his lower lip.

‘Why, you ask, Your Highness…’

Well, The Prince and Your Highness are different people.

As the saying goes, Castillian and Edel’s personalities were complete opposites.

While Castillian was calm and meticulous, Edel was… scattered and cheerful.

Simply put, it meant there was no hope of Edel making a safe escape.

Moreover, Castillian was someone who already had escape ‘experience.’

Thanks to the data accumulated so far, he could avoid getting caught and successfully slip out of the Imperial Palace every time.

But Edel…

‘There’s no need to even think about it, is there.’

Pitt let out a long breath through his nose.

“That… The Prince and Your Highness are different.”

Then Edel’s eyes widened.

Soon his large eyes turned reddish.

“Pitt…”

“…”

“Are you… looking down on me right now?”

Before he knew it, the corners of his eyes had drooped, and his nose tip had turned red.

Flustered, Pitt waved his hands.

“No, Your Highness. What do you mean by that…”

“Pitt… Pitt looked down on me. I like Pitt, but Pitt doesn’t like me…”

Truly, Pitt hadn’t looked down on Edel.

He had simply made a very realistic judgment.

But it seemed Edel didn’t understand that.

“Pitt hates me. I like Pitt, but…”

The sigh he’d been holding back finally escaped.

‘I need to comfort him.’

The only way to resolve the situation was to explain it at Edel’s level.

“That’s not it, Your Highness. It’s absolutely not that, so please don’t misunderstand…”

“…”

“I didn’t look down on Your Highness. Of, of course I would also like to escort Your Highness outside the Imperial Palace…”

“Really?”

Suddenly Edel stopped crying.

He was now looking at Pitt with bright, sparkling eyes.

Pitt hesitated.

‘…Huh?’

What’s this.

For some reason, he felt like he was being played.

And his suspicion was correct.

“Then Pitt will help me escape, right?”

What is this…

Pitt, who had been blinking slowly, asked back.

“Par…don?”

“Pitt just said it. ‘I would also like to escort Your Highness outside the Imperial Palace.'”

It was true he had uttered words with that nuance.

‘But that was just to comfort Your Highness’s hurt feelings.’

A normal person would have understood it that way.

The problem was that Edel wasn’t that ‘normal.’

“No, Your Highness. That’s…”

“Yes! Then we’re going tomorrow.”

Edel cut off Pitt’s words and clenched his fist.

“I need to see sister-in-law’s face and greet her properly!”

“…”

“Pitt needs to make a good impression too! Because Pitt is someone I like! Sister-in-law has to like you!”

Beyond happy cat, he was truly in a state of frenzy.

‘What should I do about this…’

After staying up all night pondering, there was only one conclusion.

Pitt had been serving Edel for a long time.

Based on the experience accumulated over the years, it was difficult to stop the prince when he was in this maximum excitement mode.

‘Then…’

…If they just went out for a few hours and came back.

This was the best solution to resolve the current situation.
