Chapter 177 – Utterance

Episode 177 – Speech

Under the blue sky, the ground was dizzy with people leaving no space to step.

As expected, as it is the continent’s largest academy and the empire’s representative educational institution, a huge crowd gathered as soon as the festival was held.

It was a sight I would see for the next three days.

“If you want to see a variety of animals, come to 2nd grade and 3rd class!”

“Chilly fall! A room where you can legally stick! Couples, go to the 2nd grade class 5 haunted house right now!”

“Owner of an incredible body that competes with the saintess for supremacy! Felicia Belmore’s photobook is on sale for 1st grade 4 classes!”

The PR people were screaming at the top of their lungs to secure customers.

To them, I was just standing there blankly holding a sign.

‘Do you want to leave a photo book?’

While thinking about this.

I plan to go right after work in the morning, but I hope I have some time to prepare the photo book. Felicia’s photo book, which had the same weight class as that of a saint, was a must-have for every man.

If you miss this opportunity, you will most likely end up suffering.

To be honest, I would like to ask Yas to buy it for me, but unfortunately, that was not possible.

‘After all, the principle is one sale per person.’

Perhaps due to concerns about hoarding, class 4 strictly restricted it.

Of course, if you want to buy multiple tablets, you can just stand in line again and get them, but looking at the current situation, it doesn’t seem to be that easy.

Even if you do that, it won’t be efficient compared to the waiting time.

At a time when I was deep in thought, the conversation of male students passing by in front of me reached my ears.

“Hey, are you going to go see the talent show tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow? Why, is there anything worth seeing?”

“I heard you dance in a bunny girl costume at the dance club?”

“Oh! Really? I definitely have to go. The manager there was really pretty.”

I definitely remember that if you were the head of a dance club, you were competing for the best position with only one hips in the Abel Chronicles.

The fact that she dances in a bunny girl costume is an event not to be missed.

‘I have to go see the talent show tomorrow.’

I was originally planning to go and see her for a little while because of Alyssa, but it turned out well.

So, I set aside promotional activities and made a plan to fulfill my desires based on information I heard from various places.

It was in the meantime.

In the distance, a woman wearing a robe quickly passed by.

The turquoise hair her particularly caught my eye.

“What? That person…”

I couldn’t see it clearly because it was such a short moment and the face of her was almost completely obscured, but there was no mistaking that unique hair color.

Remian Herana.

The crown prince’s fiancée, currently half-imprisoned in the name of bridal training, was at the festival.

Aside from the fact that she had kidnapped me, I was anxious just because Remian was here.

I hurried after him.

“Excuse me! “I’ll pass by!”

But she was quick.

After thinking for a moment, she disappeared among the crowd. She chases her traces as best she can, but they are being erased in real time due to the movement of people.

She eventually gave her courage, but the headache only worsened as hundreds of people’s information was relayed to her at once.

“Ha… “What should I do?”

I felt anxious.

Maybe it’s my imagination, but I’m confident that I shouldn’t miss Remian here and now.

After thinking about it, I guessed her purpose.

“The reason I came here… “There is only one.”

As soon as she dropped out, all of her connections disappeared. There was no way she was going to find her friends now, so her purpose was clear.

The question is, where is the crown prince?

The prince didn’t appear that much in the game, so I couldn’t think of a place he could go.

After thinking about it, I headed to the executive committee room.

‘Isis would know.’

I know that their relationship is not as good as I thought, but Regina is still by Isis’ side.

It wasn’t strange even though I was told something.

After coming to that conclusion, I headed to the executive committee room and heard something unexpected.

“Yes? “You said you went out with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

“Yes. You two said you had something to talk about. “Do you have anything to do?”

“No. Since it’s just a festival, I thought we’d look around together. Thank you!”

After leaving the executive committee room, I went up to the rooftop.

“It must be around here.”

If you are from a high place, you can immediately find where the two went.

That prediction was correct.

Isis and the crown prince were in a deserted alley a little away from here.

I can’t hear what they’re talking about.

And at the entrance to the alley, Remian Herana was secretly watching the two.

Her problem is what’s with her.

“Why is that bastard here?”

Ethan Gloucester.

The man with the reputation of being Abel’s archenemy and one of the worst apostles was standing with Remian Herana.

Judging by the atmosphere, it seems that Ethan was the one who guided Remian here.

I immediately tried to jump off the rooftop but held back.

“It’s too high.”

It’s not impossible to land, but jumping off here will cause a big commotion. However, using Hwashinhwa is too risky.

In the end, I decided to watch the situation from the rooftop for now.

*

There are a man and a woman in a quiet alley.

While they were looking at each other in silence, Isis broke the silence.

“His Royal Highness his his the Crown Prince. “What do you have to say?”

“You know, right? “I hope the young lady will think again.”

“How many times have you refused? I’m sorry, but I can’t accept it.”

Isis bowed her head deeply.

The crown prince, who was looking at that scene with complicated feelings, sighed.

“Ha… Is it because of your younger brother?”

“Yes? What is that all of a sudden…”

“What happened at the Colosseum a while ago. I heard it all. Then I found out that the man who kissed you was Luan Friuli. Are you still planning to get away with this?”

Isis’ eyes were shaken.

He knew that the crown prince was very interested in him, but he had no idea that he would be praying this much.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t think of anything to say, and as I was just staring, the crown prince continued.

“I guess it’s real. I don’t understand. Why Luan Friuliz? Why are you doing this with a relative, not another man? Aren’t you afraid of what people think? “Answer me.”

“…”

“You know. The empire legally banned incestuous marriage. It’s impossible to connect with Luan Friuli. Or are you planning to change the law? Did you know how difficult the road is? Just give up. Give up and accept my offer.”

Damian Solias is undisputedly first in line to the throne. If she takes the position of Crown Princess, her future life will be solid.

It will contribute to her family and her personal life will be much easier.

But if you ask her if it has anything to do with happiness, Isis can firmly say no.

She raised her head and met his gaze.

Silver eyes armed with firm determination and will collided with noble gold eyes.

“No. I don’t give up. Family and love. So please don’t meddle any longer.”

Isis drew a clear line.

The crown prince lost his composition due to that outrageous behavior.

“Why? Why are you pushing me away like that? What is the difference between him and me? Huh?”

“…”

“Can’t you tell me that too?”

“… “I’m sorry.”

Isis turned away from the crown prince’s gaze by lowering her head again.

That was a clearer rejection than anything else.

The crown prince bit his lip and resorted to the last resort.

“Even if I expose your relationship? Are you still going to refuse?”

“… “My thoughts do not change.”

“Haha! Is it? So what happens if we force a marriage? If you make a deal with Count Friuli with this information, it will be possible. What are you going to do then?”

If the count does not want his family to fall into disrepair, he has no choice but to accept the crown prince’s offer.

Things will most likely proceed as he intended.

Under that terrible pressure, Isis gave an unexpected answer.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“Yes. Will I be frustrated and blame His Highness the Crown Prince for the rest of my life, or will I not give in and run away into the night with Luan, or will I end my life in despair? I don’t know Either.”

The only thing that is certain is that I will never receive the love of Isis.

The crown prince’s face was horribly distorted.

“Take your life? Is it really something to go that far?”

“Yes. “I will go to that extent.”

The crown prince finally gave in to his will in response to an answer without a single thought.

“Under…” Right. It’s just not possible. I understand. I know what you think. I guess I’ll just leave then. … “I hope you’re happy.”

“Thank you.”

With those words, the crown prince left the alley.

*

“Oh! It’s moving!”

As I was watching the situation from the rooftop, I jumped up when I saw Remian moving as soon as the crown prince left the alley.

She left secretly and quickly, fearing the crown prince would catch her.

Ethan follows Remian.

“What is that bastard trying to do?”

Feeling something unusual, I quickly went down the stairs.

I didn’t forget to check the direction through the window from time to time.

It was the moment I had just escaped through the entrance.

“Uh? Luan?”

“Oh! “Who, sister?”

Opposite to me, I ran into Isis who was exiting the alley and entering the building.

“What’s going on here? “Ho, did you come to see me?”

Isis shyly glances sideways.

That behavior was very endearing, but because my current situation was urgent, I didn’t really notice it.

“Ah yes. “I thought I’d like to see your face her for a moment.”

“Okay? Then let’s go up. “There are a lot of delicious things.”

Pure white corn was suddenly sticking out.

I quickly grabbed his outstretched hand and put it down.

“Sorry. I don’t have time anymore. “I have to go quickly.”

“Uh, huh? “So?”

“Yes. “I’ll come back tomorrow.”

After patting the back of my hand, I turned my back to the embarrassed Isis.

And just before taking a step.

“Oh, are you free in the afternoon?”

Isis grabbed me by the collar.

When I turned my head, I was met with silver eyes looking up earnestly.

“… Afternoon?”

“Huh. Don’t you have time for a break? “If I have time, would you like to go see the festival with me?”

Why is it so difficult to say that? I’m so restless that I can’t keep my hands still even for a moment.

I smiled bitterly and nodded.

“All right. “Then is afternoon okay?”

“Yes! If that’s the case, I’ll be fine too. So, are you going to see me after lunch?”

“Yes. See you later. Well then, I’m in a hurry so I’ll just stop.”

After making the appointment, I quickly ran out of the building and ran in the direction where Remian and Ethan went.

But no matter how much I searched around, I couldn’t even see the two of them.

It has already gone far.

“Shit. It doesn’t feel good.”

Except for Alyssa’s kidnapping her, it was quiet for a while, but on the other hand, it might have been his intention to go on a rampage starting with that.

I hope it’s unfounded, but I’m worried because such ominous predictions have never been wrong.

“I need to prepare in advance.”

I hope it passes without incident.
