Chapter 14. Stealing what others covet. (6)
In fact, I had been secretly hiding behind a pillar from the moment Princess Violet entered the conference hall.
‘In the original work, he showed up to see Cain.’
Thanks to me(?), the two of them were unable to meet, so there was a high possibility that they came looking for me this time.
‘Because you saw me pointing at Hwangseong before I lost consciousness.’
Of course, I had no intention of dealing with her. There was no way he would leave me alone with that temperament.
but,
“Haha, Prince Abel! Did the story end well?”
I had no choice but to get out of the pillar because Mikel was putting his hand on my shoulder.
“Come on, we need to have another drink! Hurry up and get it!”
Mikel’s face was red as he laughed.
… … This old man, are you drunk yet?
I think I drank more whiskey while I was talking to Cain.
“Prince Abel, good work.”
“We did our best.”
“I’ll just trust you.”
The surrounding lords broke into a cold sweat and waved their hands. Their bodies were slowly moving away from me.
hey! Don’t send me to the bomb squad!
Meanwhile,
Again, again.
The sound of high heels got closer and closer.
It was a time of choice.
Is it a drunken old man shaking a whiskey bottle, or a foul-tempered princess grinding her teeth at me?
‘Still, the latter is better.’
I slightly distanced myself from Mikel and turned towards Princess Violet. Immediately his eyes met hers.
‘It’s true that you came to visit me.’
The menacingly flashing purple eyes were fixed on me and did not move.
‘Well, is there anything wrong?’
Actually, I wasn’t too worried.
This was a banquet hall where many lords were gathered, and the emperor was watching us with his eyes wide open.
Above all, there are no masks to hide each other’s identities like back then.
As expected, Princess Violet, who had come closer, had a gloomy expression on her face.
“What is your name?”
And he even pretended not to know me and asked questions in a natural way.
It was really different from those days when he chased me around like a rat in the casino.
but.
‘Oh, look at those eyes. ‘I’ll catch someone.’
In his sparkling eyes, there was a determination that he would never lose sight of me today.
‘Tsk, that’s annoying.’
When I thought about it again, I thought it might be better to just deal with Mikel.
If it were my normal self, I wouldn’t have any intention of hanging out with her. But seeing Cain’s seething gaze changed her mind.
‘This babbling princess had this ability.’
She was helping to f*ck Cain very efficiently and forcefully.
In that case, I was willing to endure this little inconvenience.
‘Let me deal with you a little bit.’
I guess squishing Cain’s face will become my new hobby. Coincidentally, there are chess pieces nearby that are great for that hobby.
“My name is Abel Ovest Kindreal.”
After lowering his lips to the back of Princess Violet’s hand, he lifted his gaze and gazed at her face. He was committing yet another act of disrespect to the princess.
I could tell as I was staring at Princess Violet.
“-!”
Her eyes were shaking as if there had been an earthquake, and her cheeks were slightly red.
Princess Violet unconsciously tightened her hands. It looked like she was trying to pull her hand away before she even received my greeting.
but.
“-!”
Princess Violet’s eyes grew a little wider. It was because I held her hand and didn’t let go.
“What are you doing?”
Princess Violet lowered her voice and whispered so that only I could hear. I asked casually, pretending not to have heard that.
“What me?”
The red color that had colored Princess Violet’s cheeks was now starting to spread to her ears.
It was because the breath that came out of my lips, which were still touching, tickled the back of her hand.
Princess Violet snorted loudly and growled.
“You are so true now and then…!”
“When do you mean that time?”
“Hey! Do you think I won’t know that you took off your mask?”
Princess Violet’s eyes burned brightly.
Oh my, I’ve already thrown away the title and said, “Hey Taryeong.”
Princess Violet huffed, lowering her voice so that those around her could not hear.
“Do you really want to die? Don’t you know how embarrassed I was that day?”

“So why are you drinking too much? You should have done so in moderation.”
I chuckled and then grinned.
“So, are you really going to kill me?”
He drooped his eyebrows and made a sad face.
“That’s the face you were so curious about. Isn’t it too much of a waste to kill him?”
The corners of the princess’s mouth trembled. She looked embarrassed, as if she had hit the nail on the head.
Oh, as expected, the face of the original public figure, Handsome Boy, has tremendous destructive power. In particular, the more pathetic the expression, the stronger the effect.
So much so that the princess, who was so energetic, hesitated.
“Besides, I saw the princess for the first time today, and I have no idea what she’s talking about.”
“No, that’s not it!”
“If you want to be angry, you should do it at the person wearing the mask. Why are you doing it at someone you don’t know?”
“You, you really!”
“Uh-huh, it’s you.”
I whispered solemnly and let go of the princess’s hand.
“This is the imperial palace. Please be polite.”
And then stepped back. The distance at which the princess can no longer whisper to me.
“I……!”
Princess Violet hung her hands blankly and looked like she wanted to hold the back of her neck.
But he couldn’t whisper to me anymore. If you say it now, people around you will know what you are talking about.
‘Just wait and see.’
Princess Violet glared at me and spoke.
‘Would you like to try it?’
I also responded with my mouth. Of course, the princess’s face became even redder at my response.
“…….”
Princess Violet, who was wheezing, took a breath. Her purple eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
When he realized that all the attention around him was focused on him,
“Hmm.”
I cleared my throat.
He seemed to have noticed that he was showing his emotions more excessively than necessary.
“……Anyway, Prince Abel. Welcome to the imperial palace.”
Eventually, the voice that came out was that of the haughty princess herself.
“I’m just grateful that you welcome me so much.”
Princess Violet’s lips twitched at my smooth response. An expression that is desperate to hit me somehow.
Eventually, she became silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.
‘… … ‘How are you?’
I laughed as I looked at Princess Violet. Because I caught the mysterious glow of her eyes.
‘Hey, here we go again.’
The look in her eyes that comes to mind when she wants to do something mischievous.
The number of young ladies and young children who were fooled by her mischievous pranks exceeded ten. Of course, Cain was one of the victims of the prank.
But he laughed off her teasing and eventually kissed her.
‘… … ‘Let’s stop here.’
Anyway, it was a sign that a bad prank was about to begin.
I pretended not to know anything, but looked closely at Princess Violet’s gaze.
“Hmm.”
Princess Violette stared at the glass filled with red wine.
‘Oh, I see.’
It seemed like he was trying to use the technique that was often used in the original work.
Princess Violet picked up the glass she had just seen and stared at me.
“Okay, today would be your first time attending a meeting. How was it?”
“Oh, I didn’t observe.”
“……?”
Princess Violet tilted her head.
“Then how is he here? Come to think of it, I can’t see Lord Diego.”
“I came on behalf of my father. As a representative of the Obest territory.”
“Hoo?”
Princess Violet widened her eyes slightly as if she was surprised.
“That’s an amazing story. It looks like he’s being mentioned as the obvious successor, right?”
“Oh, of course. Isn’t that obvious?”
I calmly said something that would have made Diego jump up and down if he were here.
“Okay, so how was it for you to attend the meeting? It was a little boring, wasn’t it?”
Princess Violet giggled.
“Why are you telling such old-fashioned stories for such a long time? These are all topics that would make you yawn.”
“The meeting was longer than usual, but it wasn’t that boring.”
“Really? Your Majesty always complains that there is nothing more boring than a meeting?”
I responded with a grin to Princess Violet, who slyly told me about my father’s sad stories.
“Your Majesty probably won’t say that today’s meeting was boring.”
“……aha.”
She understood what I said right away. I realized that I was the reason why today’s meeting was so exciting.
“I see. Anyway, thank you for your hard work, I’d like to give you a drink to congratulate you.”
Princess Violet smiled brightly and held out a glass. Her eyes sparkled strangely with various calculations.
‘… … It looks like he’s planning on finally committing it.’
Even though not only the emperor but also all the nobles are paying attention to this situation.
‘Anyway, I guess she’s the emperor’s daughter.’
That was probably because what I was going to do would be more effective if it was done in front of everyone.
Anyway, I had to understand Princess Violet’s words.
‘Will everything go according to your wishes?’
I obediently accepted the glass she offered me.
“thank you.”
“Now then, shall we have a toast?”
Princess Violette also picked up the glass and held it out to me.
Jang!
The moment two champagne glasses collide with a clear sound,
“oh!”
Princess Violet’s hand slipped. Her glass of wine, which she had let go, was bent at a clever angle and spilled towards her collar.
I dodged the glass just by leaning back a little. It was thanks to being prepared in advance.
And put out your hand pretending to grab the cup,
“oh!”
Princess Violette pushed the glass with the front of her dress. Of course, unlike me, she couldn’t avoid the falling glass.
“Aaaah!”
It was an instant before the bottom of Princess Violette’s dress became completely wet.
Cheer up!
The wine glass fell to the floor and shattered into pieces.
Even people who weren’t watching started to pay attention to the noise that came out of nowhere.
“Oh my gosh, what should I do about this? The princess’s dress is completely wet.”
Princess Violet’s face distorted. She seemed to realize that I had pushed her glass away on purpose.
“this person……!”
I quickly approached Princess Violet before she exploded.
“I’m sorry, Princess. Can you forgive this rudeness?”
I raised my voice so that everyone could hear, and deliberately made a pitiful expression.
“You stopped holding the glass, you lost it.”
“…….”
Princess Violet shrugged her shoulders. Because my eyes were strangely wide and I was smiling.
“If the princess’s glass hadn’t slipped, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“……Hmm.”
As he added that, Princess Violet slowly turned her head. I realized that my trick had been overlooked.
“I should have held my glass tighter, but I made a mistake.”
Princess Violet gritted her molars and answered.
“I will generously forget Prince Abel’s mistakes.”
“Thank you, princess.”
A mocking smile appeared on my face as I bent and lifted my waist.
“…Then, now, if you’ll excuse me.”
Princess Violet grabbed the hem of her dress and turned around. She passed by me and whispered softly.
“……Just wait and see, really.”
I responded to her response with a low laugh. Princess Violet’s proud back disappeared.
Suddenly, I felt a hot gaze on the side of my face.
As I looked over, I saw Cain turning his head away from me. Her strongly clenched jaw was noticeable.
‘Ah, it’s fun.’
It was truly a fruitful and satisfying first day of the conference.
