The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

18. Addicted

I got up and apologized to them.

“Sorry, but I think I need to get up first.”

“What is it?”

“The princess is calling.”

Mikaris said in a worried voice.

“Princess Estupina? Are you going to see her again?”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry.”

Ronia joined the conversation with a puzzled face.

“why? What is it?”

“I think I’ve been messing around too much, so I’m trying to get a duchy.”

“that’s right. It was a bit reckless. There are not just one or two incidents that come to mind right away.”

“… … .”

Mikaris’ planting seems annoying, but… .

“hahahaha… Then let’s go. Enjoy your meal.”

With a shy smile, he followed the knight under the direct command of the princess.

Come to think of it, I thought of it when I heard that they were playing around, but even if Rutera said that, there was no reaction from Hunston.

Is it because the work in the dungeon practice is simply going to be skipped, or is it simply because there is nothing to overlap? Doesn’t it mean he’s the heir to the duke’s family and doesn’t get excited over trivial things?

Not being swayed by trivial emotions, it’s like the princes of the duke’s family.

‘I’m fine.’

While I was deep in thought, I arrived at the princess’s room.

“The princess has been brought.”

“come in.”

Upon entering the room, the princess caught my eye, adorned with glittering jewelry and a gorgeous dress.

“You are beautiful, princess.”

“Thank you for the flattery. So, do you know the etiquette?”

“sure. I don’t know anything.”

Of course it’s a lie.

He won’t do anything big for me anyway, and I’ll just have to follow the staff around me.

I imitated Adelian’s swordsmanship just by looking at it, so how can I not imitate nobleman etiquette?

“Okay, then let’s go.”

Following the Princess, we arrived at the Emerald Garden, one of the attractions of Estrada Academy.

The servants who arrived first had already completed all preparations.

“Don’t say anything, don’t do anything. Keep in mind that your opponent is the Crown Prince.”

“Yes, I know.”

“That’s it.”

Just as I was about to go to the servant’s seat after the princess’s words, a knight under my direct command approached me.

“If you are a commoner, know the subject.”

“yes?”

“Even though I can’t do anything with you because of the lady’s order, I mean, don’t have useless feelings.”

what? Why is he suddenly doing this?

I nodded my head and replied.

“Ah, yes. Yes, yes.”

“⋯⋯.”

The princess’ direct knight still seemed disapproving of me, but what can I do? It’s a direct driver’s position.

When I went to my seat and looked ahead, the princess was sitting and waiting for the prince.

By the way…

I’m copying the postures of nearby servants somehow, but this is a bit difficult.

For a long time, you have to keep your back straight and your head upright and undisturbed.

Even if I try to endure it, my body itches.

In my heart, I thought that the users were amazing.

Around the time a sigh leaked from the stuffiness and discomfort, the prince entered.

“The Little Sun of the Empire, His Highness the Crown Prince, is entering.”

The princess stood up, put her hand on her left side, and bowed her head.

“Meet the Little Sun of the Empire.”

“There is no such formal greeting between us. Are you even engaged?”

“Yes, it is…”

It’s the first time I’ve seen the prince since coming to this world…

suitable for blondes. The ferocious eyes, judging from my long romance career, are highly likely to be the contemplation of a madman.

There are times when he twists clichés and becomes a good actor, but first of all, he is a madman.

Where is the guy who tries to assassinate the princess to break off the marriage?

The prince sat down and opened his mouth.

“How is alchemy these days?”

“It always is. what. Nothing special.”

“⋯⋯.”

The atmosphere…

It’s not awkward, it’s desolate. Is this really a conversation between a man and a woman who are engaged?

I’m still uncomfortable because of my posture, but the atmosphere is like this, so it’s starting to get harder.

The prince took a deep breath and continued.

“After… I’ll take care of it, so it won’t be a concern for me. Because you are capable.”

“I am grateful to Your Highness for your interest. So, would it be all right if I ask what the reason for our tea time is today?”

“Do I need a reason to want to talk to my fiancée? You look uncomfortable just talking to me.”

The fact that the prince’s face was wrinkled made him look very uncomfortable.

“no. How can I have such an impure heart?”

“So, that stiff tone is the problem.”

surely. The way we talk to each other is too rigid. I’m going to keep an eye on myself for no reason.

Well, it’s not that I don’t understand. Because Gongnyeo was an honest character.

That’s not to say there aren’t any downsides. She actually has a sincere personality and a compassionate heart more than anyone else.

And, for a princess who wants to focus on alchemy, an arranged marriage is something she hates because it is an act that gets in her way.

The prince changed the atmosphere by raising the corners of his mouth, as if he was uncomfortable with this stiff atmosphere.

“Well, it won’t be a problem as long as you fix it slowly. Let me get you a cup of tea.”

The servant behind the prince began filling the princess’s cup with tea.

By the way…

A bunch of red that can be seen plainly in that teacup.

It is a car full of poison.

Why are assassinations happening already? The story unfolds faster than the original.

The reason why I asked to participate as a servant was to prevent an assassination case, but I did not know that the case would start as soon as I arrived.

Is this also my influence?

I am in anguish.

If you do wrong, you can die instantly, but can you survive by drinking that tea?

Since there is a princess, she will take action soon, but…

The one with the antidote must be her direct subordinate.

It looks like he doesn’t like me very much, can he deal with it properly?

Even if it had an aura, it would not be halfway poison because it was the extreme poison prepared by the crown prince.

I was thinking of recovering with the fountain of life, but it could be a water bubble.

Cold sweat began to run down my back from the fear of death.

Thanks to that, my suit got soaked.

There are many other ways ⋯.

If someone other than me and the princess ate it, there was no doubt that they would die instantly.

The decision to drink cannot be changed.

I didn’t want to twist the original and harm even innocent people.

More than anything, it was because he was planning to start a relationship with the princess through this incident.

‘I’ve made up my mind, but I’m hesitating…’

The princess lifted up a teacup full of red lumps and began to savor the scent.

“What car is this? I think it’s the first car I’ve ever seen.”

“Have you recently started trading with the eastern continent? It’s a tea I got from there, and it has a good reputation among nobles. I brought it because I wanted to show it to you. I hope you like it.”

The princess smiled lightly at the words of the prince.

“surely. It’s the first time I’ve smelled it, but it’s a good scent.”

The prince is smiling with his arms raised on the desk.

In a way, it seems like a good atmosphere…

that guy is insane Making that face while handing over poisonous tea?

Fenston or Ruthe might be on the good side. Somehow, I felt a little sorry for them.

At that time, the poisoned tea touched the princess’s mouth.

‘Sir, I don’t know!’

I strode quickly and snatched the princess’s teacup.

The prince shouted with wide eyes.

“You are something! Don’t you know what kind of seat you are now!”

The princess was equally surprised. My face was full of embarrassment because of my sudden action.

“Meet the Little Sun of the Empire, Your Highness the Crown Prince. First of all, I apologize for my rude behavior. However, I cannot make the princess drink this tea.”

The prince jumped up and shouted.

“What are you talking about! What are you all doing! Get this guy out right now!”

The prince’s escort knights, nearby servants, and even the guards guarding the area began to flock to me.

Now we have to decide.

I closed my eyes and drank the tea. I absolutely did not want to see the scene where she was poisoned and collapsed.

“Cheuk!”

This pain that comes as soon as I drink it, it seems that my stomach is burning and getting hard.

Shiva, did you intend to feed this to the princess? That crazy bastard…

I was going to immediately restore it to the fountain of life, but if this is the case, the words will be different.

I couldn’t breathe.

From noble mtl dot com

I couldn’t see in front of my eyes as if I was blind, and I heard tinnitus in my ears.

“Cool!”

Blood pours out of the mouth.

Seeing this, the princess hurriedly got up from her seat and ran to me.

“What the hell is going on!”

“⋯Poison.”

“Poison? Hound, hound…”

It’s really hard to find the villain.

***

see the front I thought it was his real name, but I guess not.

Fortunately, the princess was able to save her life by providing first aid immediately.

“Ah…”

The voice comes out just fine. I thought my stomach would harden the moment I ate it.

When I turned my head to check, Mikaris and Ronia were asleep holding my hands.

‘Did I nurse you?’

I said it was nothing special, but how surprised I was to hear that he had poisoned and collapsed.

I just feel sorry for them.

I moved my back to get myself up, but there was no strength.

It seems to be a side effect of the poison.

It was hard to even move my hands, and all I could do was stare at the pattern on the high ceiling.

‘Oh, I need to drink spring water…’

I woke up Mikaris who was sleeping next to me.

“Mika… Miss Mika.”

“Mmm…”

Mikaris rubbed his frosty eyes and raised his head.

“Hound!”

“Billion…”

Mikaris hugged me and started sobbing.

“Sigh. What the hell, why did you do such a dangerous thing!”

“⋯I couldn’t just watch the princess get poisoned.”

“Is that enough to cost you your life?”

“It’s not… but… I am an Auror user.”

Mikaris said, squeezing my shoulders.

“If the princess hadn’t given the antidote quickly, you wouldn’t be able to open your eyes right now!”

She’s right. The prince’s extreme poison was stronger than I thought.

however.

Did I drink extreme poison because I had no corner to believe in? That’s not it.

In the yard where there are creatures of life, I’m going to save the villain anyway. I drank it with the thought of putting a flag on it.

“⋯Miss Mika. First of all, I’m very thirsty, so I’ll get some water from the bag over there.”

“water? okay.”

Mikaris took out a bottle of spring water from my bag and held it up.

“Shall I feed you? Can I eat alone?”

“My body doesn’t move well…”

Mikaris grabbed me by the waist, pulled me up, and brought the water bottle to my mouth.

“⋯Thank you”

“What is this?”

Hands that just trembled even when I tried to move, my back that couldn’t get up no matter how hard I tried.

After drinking the spring water once, the energy of life went around every corner of the body, and functions began to return to normal.

“After…”

“Are you okay now?”

Mikaris’ eyes flickered.

“are you okay. Did you take care of me?”

“Yes, do you know how surprised I was when I heard the news? you stupid!”

Mikaris’ face was pouty with slightly protruding cheeks.

And this fool… kinda cute

Ronia woke up at the sound of Mikaris and I talking.

Ronia looked at me and grabbed my hand.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine now. It’s thanks to the princess who gave me the antidote.”

“You really, really worried? It’s so poisonous, I could have died!”

“I am sorry for causing you concern.”

“Please value your own life a little more…”

Ronia bowed her head.

“Ronya? The Hound just woke up, so you better get some rest. Let’s get out of here.”

“yes. Then Hound, are you resting in peace?”

“See you later.”

Mikaris and Ronia went out.

Shortly after they left, the princess came in.

“Hound, are you awake!”
