The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

20. prince

In front of the prince’s visit, we exchanged notes by sending notes in preparation for any unforeseen incidents.

《The prince is waiting inside. You probably know I’ll come in.”

“Are you sure there is no one there?”

“Yes, because I said I wanted to meet with you alone about the case.”

Because she’s a princess, she’s sure to get things done.

“Then I will go.”

《Keep in mind, even if the duchy takes care of it, the opponent is the next emperor.》

《I know.》

“… … .”

The princess silently nodded and went back.

“after… … .”

Before meeting with the prince, I sighed deeply.

You have to be really, really good at talking.

I calmed down my trembling heart and entered the prince’s room while maintaining my composure.

Upon entering the room, the prince jumped up and couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

“You were at that time… !”

“Meet the little sun of the empire, Your Highness, the noble crown prince.”

“I was going to talk to my princess, but how did you come in?”

“I requested it.”

“I don’t need to know your wishes, and I have nothing to say, so go out before calling someone.”

“Even if you know the secret of the case, the real culprit?”

The sun set in the prince’s eyes, who had only been casual.

“I caught the culprit, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

It all comes out on the face.

“You have to get rid of pretentiousness as well. I already know everything.”

The prince looked out the window with his hands behind his back and said.

“Does that mean that I am the culprit?”

“That’s right.”

“Do you know that there is such a thing as insulting the imperial family?”

From noble mtl dot com

“I did not come to insult or threaten. I’m not a crazy guy who plays pranks on His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Then why did you come to me? Even by biting everyone around you.”

“I have come to make a deal.”

The prince’s eyebrows twitched.

“Why should I accept the deal? I can get rid of you right now, right here.”

“Princess already knows everything. Even if you remove me, the truth will come out.”

“I have prepared… . Is that what you mean?”

“That’s right.”

“… Let’s hear the story first.”

I sat down and went straight to the point.

“His Highness, the Crown Prince, sends a request to break the engagement first.”

The prince’s face wrinkled.

“Are you asking me to shoulder all the burden?”

“You can’t catch both rabbits. Isn’t the reason why Her Highness the Crown Prince wants to break off the marriage, is it because of Lady Seri Verdia?”

“How do you… !”

Because I saw the original… .

“Because I saw it with my own two eyes.”

“… … .”

The prince rubbed his forehead with his eyes tightly closed. Even if things got twisted, he must have realized that they were too twisted.

I made a suggestion that would be good for the crown prince as well.

“As I said before, the same goes for the princess who cannot catch two rabbits.”

“What do you mean?”

“His Highness, the Crown Prince, is most worried about a falling out with the duchy. It’s not just an individual problem. However, the same goes for Princess.”

“Does the princess want to break off the marriage too?”

“That’s right. Princess wants to continue alchemy. Therefore, it means that it is not only His Highness the Crown Prince who wants to break off the engagement.”

The prince brushed back his bangs and said.

“so? According to you, it’s no different that I have to shoulder all the burden in the end.”

“The duchy will also send a request for a breakup.”

“You know that’s easier said than done? I can’t do that right now… .”

“There are many things in the world that you don’t know unless you try them. Aren’t you desperate for the lady of Seri Verdia?”

“… … .”

The prince fell into agony.

It must be a pretty attractive proposition even to yourself.

Well, the princess may not know, but the crown prince’s decision will be respected in the imperial family.

If it’s not a unilateral notice of breakup from one side, but a request for a breakup from both sides, it’s a personal matter, not a matter between the imperial family and the duchy.

A moment of silence passed, and the prince’s mouth, which had been tightly closed, opened as if his worries were over.

“Okay, I accept the deal. But, I can’t believe you. You don’t know whether or not to publicize this fact, don’t you?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I am in a position where I have to look good to His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Are you planning on accepting the title of nobility?”

“That’s right. I want a title of nobility.”

The prince stroked his chin.

“… It’s not up to me. You know the law has changed, right?”

“I am not asking for a title without any conditions. I just ask you to lend your strength when the request comes in.”

“Looks like you have a decent plan.”

“It won’t take too long.”

The prince rose from his seat.

“Okay, the minimum conditions are met. More than anything, I like what you said. I might have been too greedy all this time.”

that’s not greed It is the sin of greed.

I felt it while reading the original work and immediately after possessing it. Most of the characters seem to have one screw missing.

It seems that the image of Ruthea has changed, but the nature does not change. The same goes for Finston.

It could be that I have not adapted to the aristocratic society.

And one of the 4 dukes who hasn’t appeared yet. He was the only normal…

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

Ah, I had been lost in thought for too long in front of the prince.

“no. It feels good to have a cooperative relationship with Your Highness.”

“It’s a cooperative relationship, but I don’t think it’s to that extent. Then let’s go out I have something to think about too.”

“I’m glad the story went well. Then excuse me.”

***

“How is it?”

Line’s wavering gaze. That feeling of insecurity came through to me.

“It worked out. but… .”

“but?”

“I think Lady Line should also send a request for a breakup.”

Renee sighed.

“under… . Because it’s not up to me.”

“It was a minimum requirement. Also, if it is a request for a breakup from both parties, the words will be different.”

“… Does it mean that it is treated as a personal matter rather than a relationship with the duchy and the imperial family?”

“That’s right. Some other nobles may bite… .”

Lyne snorted.

“Who would carelessly bring up the story of the princess and the prince? Aren’t you ignoring me too much?”

“hahahaha, that’s right too.”

Line pulled my sleeve.

“Do you have time? I want to talk a little bit.”

“Do you have anything else to say about this case?”

“no. It’s just my part.”

It’s a joke. Well, she must have accumulated a lot of things so far.

I gladly accepted her offer.

“great. Anything I can listen to.”

“I knew it would be you. move places.”

It’s what I feel when I go in and out of Mikaris and Rine’s dormitory… .

There is a separate guest room. What am I, a private room? I thought it was something like that.

Well, since they are high nobles, it could be.

Linen’s servant filled the teacup.

“Oh, thank you.”

The maid smiled softly.

As I savor the scent of tea, I feel refreshed.

I really like that the taste is not bitter or bitter.

‘This is what nobles drink.’

For some reason, sadness came over me… .

‘It’s different from Larry.’

Then, Line asked me.

“What do you think of alchemy?”

“Awesome. Lead into gold, and gold into diamonds. Isn’t it similar to the creator?”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard such an opinion.”

“Is this your first opinion?”

I’m surprised Most people are like, ‘What! They make gold out of lead!’ I thought it would be interesting while doing it.

“Actually, those rumors are from a very long time ago. It is now banned by law. Above all, the related alchemy itself has disappeared.”

Well, it’s worth it. If you make gold and diamonds, the existing value will decrease.

Rinne looked out the window and continued.

“My dream is to make a panacea.”

“So what about Mandragora?”

“okay. It’s a long story to tell. In fact, the Duchess right now is not my biological mother.”

not your mother? This is the first fact that I have heard of the original.

“hahahaha, don’t be so surprised. It’s not that embarrassing.”

She continued with a bitter face.

“When I was young, my mother passed away from an incurable disease. I don’t remember the emotions at that time because I was too young, but there is one thing I can’t forget.”

“Which one?”

“Tears of sadness and despair of loss for the people who were there. It doesn’t make sense to say that there is an incurable disease in Estupina duchy, where the masters of alchemy gathered.”

“If it’s alchemy, you’re good at medicine.”

“yes. Because the moment the Duchess passed away, it was the moment their incompetence was proven.”

“… … .”

Line tried to hide her emotions, but a bitterness that could not be hidden flowed from her sorrowful eyes.

I asked Lynne.

“In fact, I think Lady Line was the saddest.”

“what?”

“It’s a panacea even while saving Mandragora. I wonder if that sadness and despair did not come from the place, but from the heart of the young lady. That’s how much you loved your mother.”

“… … .”

Rinne looked at me without saying a word.

“Miss Renee will be great in the future. Although, it’s not a very good situation right now.”

“I hope so… .”

I continued talking while holding Rinne’s hand.

“There is such a thing in the world. It’s darkest before sunrise.”

“It’s darkest before sunrise?”

“That is what the current situation is like. Lady Line’s sun will now begin to rise.”

“I am not before the sun rises, but if the sun is going down… ?”

“Then, I will be the year of Miss Lin. Even if the family is pressured, even if the public opinion is not good, even when the young lady feels like giving up on her dream because of this. I will support you as much as I do.”

Hearing my words, Lin burst into laughter.

“hahahaha, are you really good at talking?”

So, my nickname was drug dealer.

“I hear it often. I hope that Lady Line will make her dream come true.”

“It’s the first time I’ve received support that was burdensome. It’s my first time… .”

At that moment, something hot ran down her cheek.

It was a melted sadness.

It’s not confirmed yet, but Line couldn’t stop crying in the hope that she could continue with alchemy.

Unsure of what to do with the continuous tears, she just let them flow.

However, unlike the tears flowing down her cheeks, her mouth was filled with laughter.

Smile.

Rejoice.

I know.

The fate you should have walked on.

The moment when that good heart was corrupted.

A future where she became a villain and committed a crime mercilessly.

but.

don’t worry anymore

Because that future is enough for only me to know.
