Chapter 14. Stealing what others covet. (5)
“No, I…”
Cain tried to protest, but in the end he pretended not to be able to win and followed his father.
“Your Majesty, I will go back now.”
“Already? I won’t stay a little longer.”
“What would I gain by staying here? I have confirmed that Your Majesty is in peace, so that is all.”
“This is so amazing!”
Emperor Theodore laughed loudly at Princess Violet’s words.
“Okay, then let’s just go.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The emperor’s gaze towards Princess Violet, who was politely withdrawing, was very heartwarming. It felt like several boxes of jewelry would be delivered to the princess’s room soon.
The moment Princess Violet turned away from Emperor Theodore,
“……joy.”
She had a cold face, as if she had never laughed so hard.
It was the same face as when he first entered this banquet hall. The feeling that everything is boring and boring.
Surprisingly, Princess Violet did not immediately turn around and leave.
“Princess, you must return now.”
“Aren’t they lords who have come a long way? You should get used to them at least once.”
She began to walk slowly around the banquet hall. As she carelessly ignored the words of her maid following her.
The lords who made eye contact were momentarily confused, not knowing whether to bow or not.
However, Princess Violet passed them by as if she had no interest in them.
“uh…….”
“Uhm….”
The embarrassed lords could only watch from afar as Princess Violet passed by.
Princess Violet walked around the banquet hall, turning the lords into dogs chasing chickens.
Just like looking for someone.
Princess Violet, who was walking like that, found Carlo. She tried to pass him by, as she had done all along, but she said, “See you, Princess Violette.”
It was faster for Carlo to block the way.
“ah.”
Her brows furrowed slightly.
Even its appearance was as beautiful as a painting, and Cain was impressed without realizing it.
“Carlo Sud Ardante.”
There was a slight annoyance in Princess Violet’s voice. The implication is that she wants to pass quickly, so get out of the way quickly.
However, Carlo was a greeter who did not give in to the princess’s blatant expressions of emotion.
“Meet Princess Violette.”
He slowly smiled and extended his hand, but there was no excuse for him to refuse. Because it is the hand of a key figure who controls the empire.
“ha.”
Princess Violet swallowed a light sigh and held out her hand. Carlo briefly kissed the back of Princess Violette’s hand and then took a step back.
“How were you.”
“Until just now.”
Does that mean it’s not a good idea to meet my father now?
Cain was dumbfounded as he interpreted the meaning of Princess Violet’s words. Carlo laughed and she pulled Cain towards him.
“Is this your first time seeing me? I was trying to say hello to you, but I was rude by blocking the princess’s way.”
Various calculations were going through his mind.
First, Cain seems to like the princess quite a bit, so make room for her.
Second, to show off his friendship with the princess in front of other lords.
Third, if the princess falls in love with Cain at first sight, it would be the icing on the cake.
“What about that one?”
Princess Violet asked reluctantly.
It was clear to anyone that it was his son, but his attitude was that he did not want to know that.
But that didn’t matter to Cain. It was important that Princess Violette was right in front of her, within touching distance of her nose.
“hello.”
Cain used the etiquette he had honed to the fullest. He bent down, observing the appropriate angle and speed.
“My name is Cain Sud Ardante.”
It was such a perfect greeting that no royal family member, or even the emperor, would dare to point out.
“…….”
Two pairs of eyes with different saturation but red color met.
At that moment, Cain felt as if a tingling electric current was flowing through his entire body. She did that just by seeing Princess Violette’s gaze fall on her.
‘… … Come on, come on.’
He waited for Princess Violet’s reaction with a relaxed mind.
A reaction in which the eyes subtly shake, the cheeks flush, and the lips gently part.
This was something that Cain had experienced on a daily basis and as a matter of course.
Hundreds of girls who saw Cain reacted in the same way. I used to fall in love with his handsome appearance, impeccable manners, and kind manner of speaking.
however.
“It was a nice greeting.”
Princess Violet immediately withdrew her hand. She had cold eyes without any warmth.
“-!”
Cain felt as if he had been covered in a bucket of ice.

Often, some ladies would deliberately pretend to be indifferent to get Cain’s attention.
However, as they spoke like that, a longing that could not be hidden would flicker in their eyes.
This time too, Cain wondered if the princess had shown that kind of reaction.
However, I realized this when I saw the side face of Princess Violet, who opened her body as if she wanted to get out of this place quickly.
‘Really, I’m not interested… … ?’
A clear and distinct indifference was streaming down her whole face. It was never a disguise.
Princess Violet truly had no interest in Cain.
“……!”
Cain was so shocked that he didn’t even think about grabbing Princess Violet.
This was the first dramatic defeat in his life.
Princess Violet took a quick look around the conference room and stopped.
“Ha, I guess there isn’t one.”
It was a voice that sounded like it was losing its breath.
Carlo, who was sadly watching his son’s bitter defeat, came forward.
“Is there anyone you are looking for?”
Princess Violet looked back at him and sighed.
“That’s true, but I guess….”
The princess’s lips stopped. Her eyes were fixed on the backs of Carlo and Cain.
At that moment, Cain was so shocked that he forgot his disappointment.
This is because I witnessed clear emotions emerging on the face of Princess Violet, who was like an expressionless wax doll.
Joy, interest, and a little anger.
The current Princess Violet was alive and breathing. Even more so than when she greeted the emperor, her father, earlier.
And it made her look even more beautiful. So much so that people nearby stopped breathing.
‘why… … ?’
Who makes you change like that?
Cain unconsciously turned his body to follow the direction the princess was looking.
At the end of it stood a tall young man with particularly striking blue hair.
‘Abel Ovest Kindreal?’
Why is that kid again?
Now Cain did not hesitate to call Abel this bastard and that bastard. But it no longer mattered what the title was.
Again.
Because Princess Violet’s steps were towards Abel.
Again, again.
Princess Violet’s heels echoed on the floor of the conference hall. The lords who were already glancing at the princess quietly left their seats.
Princess Violet separated the people like the ebb and flow of the tide and headed towards one place.
Right to where Abel Kindreal is.
“hmm?”
Abel, who was standing next to Mikel, turned around. And people spotted Princess Violette walking like her queen through the cracks.
“oh.”
Abel grinned. She smiled as if she had somehow expected the princess to come.
“Princess Violet.”
“Meet the princess.”
Along with the lords who bowed their heads in unison, he also bowed his head.
Princess Violet looked at Abel intently and approached him. Eventually, she stopped in front of Abel.
“…….”
Princess Violet’s eyes carefully scanned Abel’s face.
Even though she was staring at him silently, Abel just returned her gaze with a faint smile.
A strange confrontation, like a snowball fight,
“What is your name?”
It ended with Princess Violet offering her hand to Abel. An embarrassed atmosphere spread like a wave among the people in the banquet hall.
“What’s going on princess?”
“Is this the first time you’ve asked me to greet you like that?”
“Isn’t it as if you were visiting Prince Abel?”
The lords looked at each other busily, but no one knew the answer to this situation.
“My name is Abel Ovest Kindreal.”
Except for Abel, who looks blatantly amused.
He reached out his hand and grabbed the princess’s hand.
“Meet Princess Violette.”
Abel slowly lowered his lips towards the back of Princess Violet’s hand.
A slightly more crude greeting than Cain, with minimal courtesy. Abel’s greeting could be considered noble, but it did not seem polite to her partner.
He even touched the back of her hand with his lips and then slightly raised his gaze to look at the princess.
“Oh my!”
“Oh my god.”
“Don’t you know Princess Violet’s personality?”
The lords held their breath at the unexpected courtesy.
But Abel didn’t care at all. Soon, the corner of his mouth slipped up.
The smile that fell like a feather on top of him was as sweet as honey, but dangerous as if it contained poison.
People around her thought that Princess Violet would soon get angry and slap Abel on the cheek.
however.
“…….”
Rather than scold Abel for his rudeness, Princess Violet just stood there stiffly.
“……Eh?”
“Why is that princess quiet?”
And Cain felt an even stronger shock hit him than before.
“-!”
Thanks to my full attention on Princess Violet, I was able to recognize it faster than anyone else.
The fact that her cheeks turned slightly red.
‘… … why?’
It was the emotional reaction of the princess that he had longed to see and that he hoped would be directed at him.
‘… … ‘Why on earth?’
Are you saying that Princess Violet is attracted to that guy who is not her?
Cain could never admit it. No, he didn’t want to admit it.
My breathing became heavy and my heart was beating violently. It was because of a feeling he had never felt before.
‘Why, about me?’
A feeling of extreme defeat and deprivation.
As he dropped his lips in anger, the whispers of people around him could be heard in his ears.
“Anyway, you two look good together.”
“They are a pair of handsome men and women.”
Princess Violette, who had the perfect beauty like a porcelain doll, and Abel, who looked like a beautiful statue, looked good together just by standing still.
It was a pair that looked like they would appear in a famous painting.
Puzzle.
A terrifying sound spread through Cain’s teeth.
❖ ❖ ❖
I looked at Cain out of the corner of my eye.
‘What is that expression?’
Currently, Cain was looking at me with eyes that seemed to be on fire.
His eyes were so burning that it was almost impossible to believe that the side of his face was hot.
‘Are you really jealous?’
Cain was chewing his lips, looking back and forth between me and the princess. She didn’t even notice what kind of face she was making.
‘This is truly an unexpected harvest.’
I smiled to myself.
It seems like he did a good job at the casino.
‘I was just trying to prevent Princess Violet from becoming Cain’s assistant.’
As the original story goes, they fall in love at first sight like a spark, and Cain seems to have fallen in love with her again this time.
Well, Princess Violet’s beauty is unrivaled.
The facial features themselves are so dense and perfect that it almost feels like they are a different species from ordinary humans.
Seeing her pretending to be herself and approaching me makes me very upset.
‘This is how it happens.’
The corners of my mouth twitched in satisfaction. After all, defeating Cain is so much fun.
