Chapter 55 – #054 Dinner Invitation
“Uh… Mr. Cale. If you leave today, when will I be able to see you again?”
In front of Christian’s villa.
A blonde beauty whose height barely reached her chest asked with her hands clasped together.
Isabel Grayport.
The youngest member of a military-dominant family in charge of the South Gate of the capital, and also known as Iljin, the leader of the commoners’ discipline squad at the Academy.
She twisted her body in front of me, looking completely in love.
Chris, who was next to me, acted disgusted as if he couldn’t see it anymore.
“Wow. Isabel, just act like you normally do. I’m throwing up~”
“…”
“No matter how careful you pretend to be, I have already seen your true self. There is no use in doing so. Just give up, brother…”
“Really? Now that you’ve seen my true self, you understand that you’re going to get beat up right here and now, right?”
“Uh, huh?”
It will be right soon.
Well. I’m earning a beating.
Chris was beaten by a woman five years younger than him and ran away.
Maybe it will be more true after I leave.
My condolences to you, Chris.
“Isabel.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Is it because a woman speaks so loudly?”
As I patted her head and patted her, the woman’s ears turned red at the fact that she looked embarrassed.
Why did I do that? An expression of self-reproach soon formed on her face.
A bastard in front of others, a prim lady in front of me… Something like that?
That’s so cute.
“Well, you look attractive enough like this.”
Isabel Bansaek.
She quickly looked to her left and right, and when she saw that there was no one there, she fell into my arms.
“Where are you staying? If you don’t have a place to stay…”
“Ah. I am currently staying at the villa of the third princess, Princess Reina.”
“Eh? Why?”
She expresses her doubts.
Staying at the 3rd princess’s villa during the summer vacation can be seen as following the 3rd princess.
Of course, this is only when there is no connection whatsoever.
‘You still don’t know anything about me.’
– It’s worth it. If I summarize what you have said so far, Cranberry is an unheard of family. Are you saying that a teaching assistant is just like a janitor? There’s no reason for him to be interested, right?
‘That’s true too.’
It’s worth not knowing.
He explains it right away.
“Instructor of practical magic. That is my current job. The Third Princess is a professor in that subject.”
“Ah…”
The woman’s expression seemed like she understood for a moment, but then a look of suspicion appeared.
She half-opened her eyes and looked at me closely.
“By any chance… Isn’t he the lover you mentioned earlier?”
Really… They say women have good senses.
If you smile brightly, she will leave.
“Shh. Be careful saying such things. If you make a mistake, it will be an insult to the royal family.”
“Ugh…”
The woman was speechless and pursed her lips.
Nevertheless, suspicious eyes still do not return.
I waved her hand once and slowly walked towards her dorm.
***
A woman is walking on a white sandy beach as the sun sets, wearing her wide-brimmed sunshade.
Her dark blue hair sways in the occasional breeze.
The narrowed eyes that had become small due to laughing slowly regained their original shape. And then he chuckled.
“I’m looking forward to it. How strong it will be…!”
***
“Then I’ll be back, so Tanya, you should get some rest.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Second day at Florian Estate.
After receiving the lord’s invitation, the princess, her princess, and I dressed up and climbed onto the carriage.
But… Tanya’s face when she came out to say hello was completely dead.
This is because Aria, who is in charge of her healing, has been completely sulking and not playing with her these days.
Tanya slightly turns her gaze.
At the end of my gaze, a cute animal with black fur is meowing and greeting me.
“I’ll be back, Ari!”
Then please take care of me while I am gone.
When I narrowed one eye and waved my hand, he let out a long cry as if to tell me not to worry.
‘Will it work out?’
– Don’t worry. My plan is perfect!
The plan that Beres came up with was to attack Tanya through Aria.
The idea was to have Aria continue to push and pull, and by doing the crucial restoration of the relationship, I would gain her credibility and favor.
– Depending on how well you do today, it will be decided whether you can eat tomorrow or not. Well, in the end, it’s just a matter of timing, but you can eat it no matter what, so don’t worry~
‘Okay. I understand.’
Seeing that Perez speaks so confidently, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
Every time I look at that married woman’s face, let’s just have happy thoughts about planting my child in her belly.
“Then let’s go now!”
All right. All right.
As her carriage advanced, the princess checked her clothes again.
You look a little nervous for some reason?
“Is this your first time?”
“That’s not true. But since her younger brother was born… She has never been invited.”
In other words, he cut off her connection because she was no longer useful.
It seems like the lord is surprisingly the type to take care of his own interests.
Count Florian.
They can be said to be the largest nobles in the south, as they manage trade with other races and ports.
That’s how great his prestige is… If you look at it in terms of rank in the 2nd Prince faction, he can be seen as number 3, just below Renatri.
So even if the 3rd princess, who was not very practical, visited her domain, she could pretend not to see it and ignore it.
Then I’m really curious… What’s Bella like?
“How are you, princess?”
“I was never invited in the first place~”
Bella said, crossing her legs.
Then, as if her dress was uncomfortable, she touched her chest, back, and sides from time to time.
“Why? If you were the Hadrens family, you would never be negligent?”
It was like that. Hardrence is the core and number 1 of the 2nd Prince faction.
There was no way that the same 2nd prince, Lord Florian, would not take care of her, the daughter of a much higher family than his own.
However, it seems that her position within the family was more serious than she thought.
Bella raises her arms and shrugs her shoulders.
“I guess this is because I gave up my child~”
“I see… I see.”
So, does that mean that the reason the princess and princess are being invited now is because of Linnell?
Of course, there has been a rise in Princess Reina’s value recently…
Maybe that’s why the two women’s faces didn’t look that good.
For some reason, seeing that doesn’t make me feel very good either.
“Then should we just cut it?”
“That… What do you mean?”
“Let’s not just go, let’s go eat together.”
Bella’s face brightens and responds.
She seemed very excited that it was just the three of us and no one else.
“Okay! Let’s do it!”
But the princess is a princess.
Even if it’s simple, as long as you know basic etiquette, you can firmly say no.
“You can’t do that. If you do that, Renatrina Hadrence will become a laughing stock.”
And the ones who have to bear the damage are the princess and the princess themselves.
The basics are good.
It would be nice to have a little more sense… But it’s such a shame.
– That’s right.
Bella pouts her mouth and seduces the princess.
But even her seeds don’t work.
That’s how we arrived at Florian Mansion.
The Florian Mansion was enormous, as it was the largest family in the South.
It’s enough to make you question whether this is really a family’s mansion… Or whether it’s attached to a park in the estate.
As a result, the majesty of the family was clearly felt, but it did not feel repulsive or threatening.
This is because the walls of the mansion were low, and the designs were not that flashy.
The old and weathered stones here and there seemed familiar, as if they were trying to capture the history of the past many years.
“Then how about we just eat and leave!”
After hearing the princess whine for a whopping 30 minutes, the princess raised her hands and feet in agreement.
“Yes. So…”
“Yes!”
Bella clenches her fists as if she has finally succeeded.
We entered the mansion following the guidance of the butler who had come to meet us in advance.
But…
‘This is so… Inconvenient.’
That’s because the two women asked each other to escort them, so they had to hold up both hands as if they were scales, sandwiched between the princess and the princess.
No, can’t they just grab their skirts and go without an escort?
– Don’t say you’re full. I’m sad that there is no one to hold me… Where is my sister? If it were my older sister, she would catch me~
Linnell appears as soon as the words are finished.
She was wearing a unique Southern dress that flattered her body.
A dress that exposes her shoulders and leg lines, and even the hidden areas are made of mesh, so if you focus, you can see the skin underneath.
Maybe that’s why, every time her white thighs peeked out through the fabric, my eyes turned back a little without me realizing it.
“Welcome, Princess Reyna. And Princess Hadrence. Lastly, Baron Cale…♥”
The fact that blood vessels suddenly appeared on the princess and princess’s foreheads when they winked at me was not just due to their mood.
Still, when I immediately touched their joined hands once, they both smiled with satisfaction and endured it safely.
Oh my. Linnell says it’s pretty good and gives a sly smile.
It’s not an ordinary bet either.
She calmed down her seductive smile and introduced the woman who was standing with her.
“This is the hostess of Florian’s estate.”
“Greetings. This is Countess Roana Florian.”
She bowed her waist slightly and said hello.
A woman with reddish brown hair, a bit different from the wine-colored linen.
She looked to be in her mid-30s. Her face and blue eyes were that of a typical woman, but her hips were visible underneath… Wow. Gulp.
How big is it?
The moment I see her, I feel a surge of energy in my lower abdomen.
– Hey. Look at Gungdingi. You’ll have a great baby, right?
‘This vacation, let’s add it to the task list. How do you feel?’
Perez answers my opinion without any hesitation.
– Call.
