Chapter 109
“Eat quickly. We need to head to the Banquet Hall afterward.”
“Mmm.”
“The same goes for you, Shalone.”
As Shalone spoke with mature composure, Kiriel’s large hand gently stroked her head before withdrawing.
Shalone’s eyes widened as she clenched her fists, then slowly nodded.
‘A debutante ball….’
Shalone stabbed at her salad and popped it into her mouth, watching Bunny with an anxious expression.
‘Bunny will become my responsibility again.’
Just thinking about chasing after Bunny as she raced through the Banquet Hall made my stomach ache already.
‘But they say I’ll have more allies once I attend the debutante ball.’
The odds of surviving would be considerably higher than now.
Bunny would probably gain more awareness of reality and change as well.
While Shalone was lost in thought, Bunny suddenly sprang from her chair.
“Thanks for the meal, Bunny’s going!”
“Bunny, you should say ‘thank you for the meal’….”
Before Kiriel could finish speaking, Bunny squeezed through the gap in the door the servants opened and vanished in a flash.
Kiriel watched the tomboy that was Bunny with a troubled expression and let out a small sigh.
‘Luriel said Ho-Mung was getting married to someone at the Imperial Palace.’
Meanwhile, Bunny dashed into her room and recalled today’s objective.
That’s right!
To become Cupid and match Shalone with her future husband!
‘I need to check Luriel’s notebook more before Shalone goes.’
Ho-Mung said that for him to become human, he needed a great love, so it would be wonderful to greatly increase the number of people who adore Ho-Mung.
‘Father, Allen, Kalbad, and I are already there….’
If I add the person Ho-Mung will marry, then Ho-Mung will become mine just like Roel.
For that, I needed information about the person Ho-Mung would marry.
With such mischievous(?) thoughts, Bunny grinned and opened the notebook.
Hello, Young Master! Good morning? How’s the protagonist’s mushy operation going?
“Yesss.”
You’re already having your first debutante ball. Actually, there isn’t much I can tell you about debutante balls. Many people might envy the Young Lady, but… I don’t think that will be a problem anymore.
Has Luriel finally acknowledged that Bunny has become a very grown-up person?
Proud at Luriel’s recognition, Bunny wiped beneath her nose and sat on the bed, flipping through the pages rapidly.
Just always be careful. You mustn’t let it slip that you’re a Demon Clan Member. If it does, even Kiriel Yudia won’t be able to overlook it.
“….”
By the way, with the Crown Prince alive, the debutante ball event is happening quite quickly. This isn’t something I know about, so I probably won’t have much to tell you.
“Mm-hmm.”
As Bunny read through the text and nodded, her eyes widened.
‘So Luriel doesn’t know everything either.’
Until now, I thought Luriel was an all-knowing genius, but as I grew older, perhaps I was becoming slightly more of a genius than her.
Bunny bounced on her feet as she watched Luriel wave goodbye, wishing her to enjoy the day.
“The person Ho-Mung is going to marry….”
Luriel would surely have information about that.
As Bunny groaned and flipped through the pages haphazardly, Luriel’s notebook suddenly began turning on its own.
After flipping through many pages, the notebook finally stopped at a particular page.
Ah, you said you’d play Cupid for love! If you want to win back the heroine’s heart… the most promising and fastest option I know is Simon Lotis.
“Simon…? Simon… Si-Moong.”
For some reason, the name “Simon” didn’t sit quite right on Bunny’s tongue, so she rolled her eyes and naturally changed the name on a whim.
‘Ho-Mung and Si-Moong.’
The names seemed to match perfectly from the start.
Bunny, having arbitrarily changed the names, nodded her head with a satisfied expression.
Simon Lotis is originally another protagonist of this world as Shalone’s fiancé and marriage partner.
If the Young Master hadn’t saved Roel, the Crown Prince, he would have become the Crown Prince instead—he’s the son of the Emperor’s sister. So he’s the Crown Prince’s cousin.
Originally, the Emperor, thinking Roel had a low chance of survival, would have called in his sister’s son and adopted him as his heir… but now that Crown Prince Roel is alive, I’m not sure what happened.
Bunny, who had been reading the text, tilted her head and quickly turned to the next page.
It seemed like Roel had mentioned having a younger brother, but also like he hadn’t.
‘Roel talks too much every time I see him.’
With that thought, Bunny diligently read through the text written on the next page.
‘For Ho-Mung to survive, he needs to hold hands with Si-Moong and get married.’
To do that, I need to know what Si-Moong likes. How Si-Moong comes to like Ho-Mung, too.
As Bunny was thinking hard, new text began appearing on the previously quiet page.
Actually, Simon Lotis falls head over heels for Shalone at first sight, but he’s not honest about it. He has secrets he hides and a curse placed on him, so they often miss each other. That’s why it takes a long time for them to connect.
“A secret? A curse?”
The pages fluttered backward continuously.
Well… when he eats chocolate, he changes.
Normally, he’s a boy overflowing with a sense of justice, kind-hearted, and somewhat sickly, but because he didn’t have a proper childhood… when he eats chocolate, he becomes honest and turns into an incredibly rough, spiky delinquent type.
Chocolate? Choco?
When Bunny eats choco, she does melt into a puddle, but she’s never seen anyone become spiky before.
Bunny blinked her eyes once.
‘…I’m curious.’
But, thinking about it, if the honest Si-Moong quickly confesses his feelings to Ho-Mung, couldn’t they both eagerly hold hands and get married together?
Bunny crossed her arms and nodded her head with a serious expression.
‘Yes, Bunny is a complete genius at playing Cupid.’
It’s absolutely not because it sounds fun or because she’s curious. Bunny is simply trying to make Si-Moong honest, just as Luriel said, in order to become Cupid for love.
“What’s the curse? Luri.”
As Bunny murmured softly and turned the notebook to the next page, text began appearing again.
You know the legend about the Golden Dragon, right? You even bragged to me during history class that you learned about it, Young Master.
“Yes. The story about how the Golden Dragon created the Empire and made it incredibly powerful, so the Royal Family might actually be the Golden Dragon!”
The story is that the first Emperor who founded the Empire was the Golden Dragon.
Bunny stared blankly at the text that had summarized her lengthy explanation into a single line, her eyes narrowing slightly.
‘As Bunny climbed one step further into adulthood, perhaps Luriel had become a little less amusing.’
Bunny, with her lips pouted and protruding like a duck’s bill, stamped her feet and nodded her head.
The current Emperor was the only one among his siblings whose life the Golden Dragon’s curse spared—he alone received her favor.
“….”
The Golden Dragon left two things to her bloodline. One was temporal sight—the ability to prophesy or witness events from the distant past.
More studying again….
Bunny gazed at the characters with dark, weary eyes and sighed heavily.
The adults always said that to understand one thing, you had to study countless other things as well—was that why?
Recently, it seemed Luriel’s notebook had accumulated far more difficult and demanding content.
‘She uses such difficult words now….’
And she said “I love you” far less frequently than before.
Yes, Luriel seemed somehow… a little rushed. She appeared slightly hurried about something.
It was strange for something that was merely a magically-created notebook.
‘It’s as if it were alive.’
But it’s just a notebook.
And in exchange for bearing blood that transcended human power, a curse was also bestowed. Once every few generations, someone among the Royal Family would be afflicted with a disease where their entire body was covered in dragon scales and they would perish—that is the curse. Simon Lotis inherited this disease from his mother.
Faced with the barrage of difficult words, Bunny quickly shook off her unease, shook her head, and blinked her eyes.
But actually, the method to resolve this curse is quite simple.
Simple? Was it Bunny’s turn to step forward again? Heh.
Bunny sprang up from her seat and flipped through the pages with a whoosh!
The method is!!
“The method is?!”
