§ 118. Scarzzapino (5)
Friendly tone of voice and friendly smile.
Princess Amelia, who always brought a gentle breeze to the imperial palace like a spring rose, was now approaching them with a very unfamiliar expression.
“… Sister Amelia?”
Again and again.
Her body was covered with a sharp, stabbing energy, and her appearance was like an ice flower with sharp frost spreading out in all directions. The cold, mineral eyes are very similar to Seonghwang’s.
And Amelia approached like that.
With a nonchalant expression, he stepped into the gap between Seongjin and the young man.
Again.
“… … !”
The air is full of fierce, intangible battles and defenses.
No matter how talented she was in Auror training, it must have been an extremely difficult pressure for Amelia, who was barely a beginner.
Seongjin and the young man, who made eye contact once, had no choice but to gradually slow down to match her movements, as if they had made a promise.
So, when Amelia walked right in front of the two, the two ended their confrontation with their fighting spirit completely gone.
“Meet the princess.”
The young man bluntly bows his head towards Amelia.
If you were a noble of Delcross, there would be no way you wouldn’t recognize this beautiful princess, who is said to be especially loved by the Holy Emperor.
Amelia stared at him for a moment and answered in a cold voice.
“Have you forgotten who you should bow to first? “If you show any more disrespect to a member of the Holy Family, I will no longer be able to look after your situation.”
“… … .”
A complex look flashed across the young man’s eyes, as if he was coming to terms with an unexpected situation.
If he is Amelia’s younger sister and a member of the Holy Family, the answer is simple. Still, the reason I couldn’t come to an easy conclusion was probably because the fat bastard’s impression had changed so much.
The young man looked at Amelia for a moment and then lowered his head towards Seongjin with a stiff expression.
“… “I see you, the prince.”
Such a stiff guy.
“OK.”
“… … !”
Seongjin, who laughed at the young man’s eyebrows twitching, turned to Amelia and asked.
“But why did you come down here, sister?”
Then she smiled gently at Seongjin.
“How can you not know when you’re dissipating momentum like that? Sorry for interrupting you when you were having so much fun, Mores. But if you had ruined Archduke Sigismund’s face like that, people would have probably blamed you for being inconsiderate towards the Margrave’s legitimate eldest son.”
“… … ?”
At her answer, Orden Sigismund’s expression suddenly became strange.
Although she is known as the most promising genius swordsman among the young people of Delcross, the princess has no doubt that her younger brother will defeat him.
‘and… … !’
And Seongjin was purely amazed.
‘Sister Amelia is as kind as an angel even when she gets angry like that!’
[…] What is your standard of kindness?]
dump!
At that time, I heard someone fall to the floor next to me. She was the woman who had been threatened by the young man earlier.
As I was freed from the terrifying force pressing on those around me, my legs gave out without me even realizing it.
“ah… iced coffee!”
I was completely exhausted and couldn’t even raise my voice properly.
As I clicked my tongue inwardly at the pitiful appearance of him shivering and sweating, Amelia came up to Seongjin and whispered in a low voice.
“Mores. I will take her archduke and leave her, so please take care of her. “Once she calms down, it would be best to take her to a special room and protect her.”
“… “If you know her, wouldn’t she feel safe too?”
Amelia laughed as if embarrassed by Seongjin’s question.
“I know you have no memory of her. But Mores, your help this time will be good for her and for others. “Because I’m talking about marriage with you.”
… yes?
“Isabella Scarzapino. Lady Scarzzapino is your fiancée, with whom you have celebrated your birthday for many years.”
“… … !”
Oh, that’s right, that Scarzzapino!
Somehow, the name seemed familiar!
While Seongjin was shocked, Amelia walked lightly, passed the young man and said.
“Then Archduke Sigismund. “Would you like to look at me for a moment?”
The young man, who was frowning with his mouth shut, glared at the woman who had fallen on the floor for a moment, then reluctantly turned around.
Then please take care of me.
Amelia gave Seongjin one more request with her eyes and then left, leading the young man.
“… … .”
Oh, I’m embarrassed.
Seongjin, who was suddenly left alone with the woman, scratched his head shyly for a moment and then turned towards her.
“hmm… Hey, are you okay?”
Then, the woman’s eyes, which had been staring blankly ahead, slowly regained focus. She raised her head and looked up at her seongjin.
“therefore… Lady Isabella? “Can you stand up?”
When Seongjin leaned down and asked, the woman’s eyes widened for an instant. She then opened her mouth and said as if crawling away.
“Uh, since when… … .”
“huh?”
“Since when did you treat me like a lady…?” … !”

what? You said you would help, but why are you fighting?
While he was dumbfounded, the woman who was looking at Seongjin’s face suddenly started shedding tears like chicken droppings.
“Ugh!”
Seongjin was shocked.
Are you crying? Why all of a sudden? What did I do wrong?
But the words she spoke next while crying profusely were shocking.
“Why, why are you acting so friendly all of a sudden? Are you kidding me? “Why are you doing this to me?”
“uh?”
“You always ignore me like that! “They didn’t even look at me like a human!”
“… … .”
“Why are you doing this to me? Why are there rumors that you treat little girls differently than me? “Ugh!”
… I’m not sure, but I guess he was just another victim caught up in Mores’ karma.
After that, Isabella cried for a long time.
Seongjin, who couldn’t see it, held out his handkerchief, and it blew all the way up his nose.
And then what I did was a bunch of incoherent complaints.
“Black! Ugh! As you know well… I’m not really this kind of person! But just now, strangely enough, I was so scared and couldn’t calm down… Black!”
There is no way an ordinary person could maintain composure when exposed to such a vicious aura. But instead of explaining, Seongjin listened to her in silence.
“Why, I have to show myself like this, not to anyone else, but to me, it’s really the worst! Hehehe! Anyway, you must never tell anyone about today, okay? “Sniff.”
“… … .”
“Sniff! Don’t get me wrong though! You know it well, right? The flower of the entire social world! “It’s that elegant and noble Scarzzapino!”
Wow, is that what you said from your own mouth?
Isabella blushed and muttered, as if Seongjin’s expression was obvious.
“damn! I’m so embarrassed to say this with my own mouth… . Even thinking about it again, I think Brother Ricardo is out of his mind, huff.”
I don’t know how much time has passed, but before I know it, the sniffles are slowly starting to subside.
At that time, Seongjin sensed the presence of several people approaching the hallway. I can vaguely hear the chattering of guests in the dressing room.
After measuring the distance between them for a moment, Seongjin held out his hand toward Isabella and said.
“Lady Isabella. It seems like people are coming this way, but they’re not going to stay here, are they? “It would be best to leave for now.”
Isabella looked at Seongjin with suspicious eyes.
However, the prince’s eyes looking at her now, unlike before, are focused directly on her and contain her appearance completely.
“… “Then please excuse me, sir.”
Isabella, who hesitated for a moment, adjusted her hair and clothes, and then took Seongjin’s hand with an embarrassed face and a red face.
Meanwhile, Amelia was leading Orden towards the entrance of Salon de Mercy.
Orden, who had been walking for a while with her just walking in silence, eventually couldn’t hold back and spoke first.
“Amel… How far will you go? … .”
“Even though it is a private occasion, you must be properly polite, Grand Duke.”
Without even looking at Orden, Amelia cut off her words in a cold voice.
“It’s difficult to be mistaken. I am now a member of the Seonghwang family. “I am no longer that little girl who was locked up in the count’s attic.”
A gloomy look flashed across Orden’s blunt face.
“that… It was all Grandma’s instructions. There was nothing we could do at that time. “I feel sorry for you.”
“… … .”
“But not everyone in the family agreed with that. We still want you… … .”
“I won’t warn you twice. “Be polite.”
Amelia stopped in front of the entrance and slowly turned around to face Orden.
“I will probably never have a private meeting with the Archduke again, so let me state this clearly now. There is no need to explain the position of Count Sigismund to me now. You don’t even need to apologize. “I won’t have any trouble with anything.”
“… … .”
“The time I spent there doesn’t mean anything to me anyway.”
Orden’s eyes wavered.
“But ah… … .”
“It seems like we both have the same thoughts, so let’s end the conversation here. Didn’t I also mean nothing to you? “I know very well that until the day my father took me out of there, I was as good as a non-existent person in the count’s family.”
“… … .”
“Then, see you again at the Tanshin Yeon. Please take a look.”
It was a cold celebration.
Orden looked at Amelia for a moment with a hard face, then obediently bowed and turned around.
rattle.
After he leaves and the entrance door closes.
Only then did Amelia relax, cupping both hands that were trembling slightly and biting her lip.
She tried to act as if nothing had happened to him, but the shock of being exposed to the momentary and rough collision still remained.
Above all, the memories of childhood that come to mind the moment I encounter Orden.
He bluntly said that it doesn’t mean anything to him anymore, but that doesn’t mean that everything that happened back then never happened.
So Amelia stood there for a while, looking at the entrance where Orden disappeared.
Until Seongjin, who came down looking for her, called her.
“Sister, why are you standing like that?”
“… Mores.”
Amelia opened her eyes and looked back.
“How did you come here, Lady Scarzzapino?”
“I came out because I thought it seemed genuine. “I think you’re too late.”
“Are you really worried? why?”
“What do you mean by that? “Then, you went out with such a violent guy, so I wouldn’t be worried?”
“… … .”
Amelia stared at Seongjin for a moment.
“… okay. I see.”
Soon, with a small realization, a calm smile spread from her face like ice melting.
“I mean so clearly to you. “Then that day, and today too.”
“… … ?”
“Thank you for worrying about me, Mores.”
Amelia’s hand, which was lightly wrapping around Seongjin’s arm, had completely stopped trembling before she knew it.
So, the two arrived at the special room with their arms around each other.
But when they opened the door, an unexpected scene unfolded inside the room. Lady Isabella was doing her best in front of the mirror, pushing in her basting pin.
“Gather your momentum now! Otherwise, just use this dress pin!”
Then he tilts his head, glaring at the mirror to see what he doesn’t like.
“Hmm, this isn’t it… … .”
This time, he moved the hour pin to the other hand and held it, then placed his other hand on his waist and lifted his chin.
“I will let you experience for yourself what kind of weapon this hour pin can be! So right now… omg!”
When she saw Seongjin and Amelia reflected in the mirror, she was startled and hurriedly hid the basting pin behind her back. And then.
“Aaaah!”
I scream as I look at the hour pin stuck in my arm.
“… … .”
Didn’t they say that that person was the flower of society?
Is it possible that stand-up comedy is popular in Delcross’s social circles these days?
* * *
That evening, Isabella returned to the townhouse and immediately went to see her second brother.
Ricardo, who was sitting in the study leafing through a book, greeted her with a sly smile as always.
“So, did you have a good time? “Are you my Bella, the most beautiful on the ecliptic?”
“… Oh really! “Please don’t do that!”
Isabella rubbed the goosebumps that had formed on her arms and opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“Actually, Brother, something a little strange happened in the dressing room today.”
“Strange thing?”
“Yes, that Archduke Sigismund…” … .”
She told Ricardo the whole story.
While the outfit was being put together smoothly, he suddenly said that he wanted to get a confirmation. When he didn’t know what she was talking about and avoided her answer, he suddenly changed his mind and threatened her.
“… I’m sure I heard something from my brother… Brother? Are you listening?”
Isabella, noticing Ricardo’s strangely calm expression, asked curiously.
Then, as usual, he smiled softly and quietly whispered to his sister.
[okay. I’m glad you had a good trip. Now let’s forget everything and rest in peace. Isabella.]
