7. Heir to the Empire – 04

What is the biggest difference between an insider and an insider?

Do you talk more with people on KakaoTalk or with Baemin? Is it your friends or your mom who celebrates your birthday? If not, how could you open her mouth once and hear whispers like, ‘Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard her voice’?

If it was like the past, I would have nodded that it must be the boundary line between the insider and the badass, but recently, that kind of classification has begun to become very ambiguous.

Of course, the reason wasn’t because this society had transformed into a beautiful, UNICEF-like society that embraces assas.

There is only one reason for this, because the in-laws were committing atrocities such as invading the territory of the Assassins and calling themselves ‘Assas’.

It was really absurd. It wasn’t enough that he had been confessed 27 times, and the fact that a person who had 8 dating experiences would call himself an assara was something that, from my point of view, must have already reached the realm of insanity.

If I had to make an analogy, would it be a similar scene to the fake madness Marik seeing the real Kaiba and widening his eyes?

Anyway, there was a reason why I was suddenly thinking about the difference between a badass and a badass in my head. It was because I was temporarily experiencing the vivid insider life that I so longed for.

“Hello, Grand Duke Yohrha. I am Viscount Integral, one of Her Highness’s retainers… “

“Your Highness, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Do you remember me? You know, on the day of the grand duke’s wedding, the person who accepted the bouquet thrown by the grand duchess was my wife… “

“Nice to meet you, Your Highness the Grand Duke. As one of the envoys from the Empire, I have always admired and admired His Highness’ reputation… “

To be honest, it’s not that I haven’t imagined a scene like this before. For example, if you’ve never had a stupid delusion that terrorists suddenly broke into your school while you were in class, and you subdued them in an instant and “Saved” A beautiful girl with the highest rank in Tokyo in the same class, she eventually confessed to me, that would be a lie. Will be.

But there is such a thing as degree. How can I say that everyone in this area rushes at me and asks for countless handshakes… I mean, it wasn’t all that fun.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have learned to study non-projective astronomy long ago.’

However, regret is too late. Just in case, I quickly turned my eyes to find the Grand Duchess, but she was nowhere to be found in the banquet hall.

‘When will this woman come back?’

After she asked me to stay at the banquet hall instead of her because it would only be a short time, the Grand Duchess disappeared without a trace before my eyes.

Why did the Grand Duchess throw me as a sacrifice for the Advance Summon? And why the hell am I suffering here?

‘Grand Duchess, it’s too late… Am I going to become a grandmother at this rate?’

I want the Grand Duchess to know that if I don’t become a grandmother, a terrible situation could happen that she might dump her grandmother somewhere instead.

Just when I was engulfed in the urge to slaughter the whole area without even talking about it, I suddenly felt that the air was getting heavy.

“… Uh?”

No, no. It’s not that the air has become heavy. It’s just that the atmosphere created by the people located here has changed. It’s nothing else, but by a woman who appeared here just a moment ago.

A gaze has weight. And in the atmosphere people create, their unconsciousness is reflected intact.

In other words, it meant that the woman who appeared here had enough power to rob everyone in the audience and overwhelm their unconscious.

“The Grand Duchess….”

I don’t know whose mouth it came from, a voice that sounded like a sigh escaped from somewhere.

Yes. The one who appeared here was the Grand Duchess, who brazenly reappeared on the subject of leaving everything to me and escaping the banquet hall just before.

Jerbug.

The Grand Duchess took light steps as if she were out for a walk. But there was something so overwhelming about her in that step that no one could think of delaying her by talking to her.

The image of the Grand Duchess walking towards me, ignoring the crowds gathered around her… It was beautiful.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is at the pinnacle of beauty in terms of income, but it is not as good as Sei.

Even I, who knew the nature of her woman better than anyone else, was distracted by her for a moment. Now, her appearance was not like a person, but like a well-made piece of art.

“… hehehe, Judging from Reiner’s reaction, I did well to decorate it. I can’t believe Reiner is making that kind of expression on me.”

However, the moment the Grand Duchess opened her mouth, the magic she had on me was broken. Thanks to this, I was able to realize that the resentment of wanting to post a picture of her grandmother somewhere, which remained in a corner of my heart, was still vividly alive.

“Where have you been and are you coming back now?”

“Oh, Reiner. That’s a really rude question. She’s trying to find out where the woman has been. That’s more rude than asking a woman’s age?”

“Yes?”

I’m being rude. I think the rude thing is that you, who threw me in the middle of the crowd and escaped from this place, were much more rude.

‘Then Grand Duchess, are we enemies starting today?’

I really just wanted to make that woman feel all the shame and humiliation I went through, but unfortunately, that woman is in a state of agreement with me, so the fact that I could go back like a nongae if I’m not careful is the only thing that remains with me. .

“… I think I know roughly what you’re thinking, but keep your mouth shut and have a laugh. It’s because I just put on some makeup. And you, have you already forgotten why we are putting on a play like this?”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, in order to deceive Ilibatus, who was staring at us from over there, we did everything from skinship to lip smacking beforehand.

I turned my head and looked at Illivatus, and at the same time he was looking at me, he was fiddling with the mask he was wearing.

Looking at the way he touches his eyes for no reason, I wonder if he’s tearing up because he was moved by the fact that we threw a surprise party for him.

“Okay then, let’s do a dance or a song. Originally, in a place like this, a person of the highest rank should set an example.”

Saying that, the Grand Duchess put her hand on top of mine like a feather.

“I want to point out one thing, but I told you beforehand that I can’t dance.”

“I know that too. Reiner just needs to anticipate my movements and follow them, right?”

You can’t even dance at all, how can I predict your movements? Does that woman think I have some kind of knowledge?

Having said that, the Grand Duchess put her hand on my shoulder and stepped on her steps before I had time to say anything. And at the same time, calm music begins to play.

“Relax. Don’t even think about moving your body. You just have to think of going with the flow and just look at my face.”

To the sound of her music, the Grand Princess gently moves her own feet. Her steps are strong, as if leading me, but at the same time so soft that I follow her movements without even realizing it.

I had never practiced beforehand, but after following the princess, I realized what I was doing.

I was dancing her dance with her, now.

“Please relax. If you move so stiff, you might find out that you haven’t practiced.”

The Grand Duchess who said that to me was staring at me with eyes that were clearly different from usual, as if they contained something hot.

‘This doesn’t feel like a leading role at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.’

I’ll be honest, I didn’t like the fact that they’ve been throwing all sorts of sh*t over the last few days for ‘pretending to love each other’, but seeing it this way, the effects of the training seemed to be evident.

Even with my eyes, which now know the whole truth, the Grand Duchess was really looking like a woman in love with me.

For a moment, I also wondered if she really liked me, but then I wondered if that was a little too much.

‘In the first place, it was a contractual marriage relationship, but what about love?’

Isn’t it more absurd to say that love exists between a marriage of convenience than to say that you become a real girlfriend after meeting your rental girlfriend?

As I was thinking like that, the music that had been quietly playing around me ended before I knew it, and the Grand Duchess also let go of her body from me and quietly took a step behind her.

The dance was over before I knew it.

“Your Highness seems to be more beautiful today.”

“But did she, Her Highness, dance so well?”

Leaving behind the incomprehensible whispers around her, I turned to the Grand Duchess and put on her childish expression of admiration.

Even as a cyber signer who used to dance at a club in Maple and Dunpa, I couldn’t help but admit the dancing skills of her grand princess. She has the ability to make me look like she’s dancing with her just by leading me who didn’t know anything about dancing?

“You seem to be very good at dancing. You seem to have danced a lot normally.”

When I said that without thinking, the Grand Duchess stared at me blankly with her emotionless eyes.

“I hate dancing. It’s my first time dancing formally.”

“…Yes?”

“To dance, you have to hold hands with another man.”

“…And I, I don’t like holding hands with other men. That’s too much.”

“…..”

The Grand Duchess actually said that, even though she had long since finished dancing, she was holding my hand tightly.
