Celebrity Lady

There were already six boys and girls gathered at the table.

Lillia, seated in the middle, smiled and waved her hand at us.

“How do you play this game?” Lisbeth, who quickly occupied a seat, asked with an excited voice.

Sitting beside her, Ricky explained with a close look, “It’s not difficult. You just have to choose one out of two cups.”

On the table were two invisible golden cups lying face down.

Lillia continued Ricky’s words, “Princess, do you know the diamonds that the Satur trade shop bought from Robben this time, called ‘Satur diamond’?”

“Mm, of course I know. It’s very famous.”

Its current market is about 400 million marks as far as I know, but it has not been released on the market.

If you put it up for auction, wealthy aristocrats will race to raise the price, so there’s no need to sell it at the market price.

“I want it,” Lillia said, pointing to the two golden cups.

“If I choose one of these two glasses right, it’s my victory. A Satur diamond is hanging as a prize, and the other players are supposed to give it to me as a gift.”

“Ah, I see. Then what about the other one?”

“If I lose, I will give each participant 50 million marks worth of jewelry as a gift.”

Now that she knew the game’s rules, Lisbeth opened her mouth in amazement.

There were nine participants in the game, including Lisbeth and me. It was a crazy game with billions of dollars coming and going right in front of your eyes.

However, for the rich kids gathered here, it was a familiar play that was nothing special.

“Then I will choose.” After thinking for a while, Lillia opened the golden cup on the left.

Lillia, who opened a smaller note than her palm, smiled and showed it to us.

It said— [Michael’s Choice]

“I chose the angel Michael’s choice, so it’s my victory.”

Lillia opened the other cup and showed the note to Lisbeth.

[Lucifer’s Choice]

“If I had chosen this, it would have been my defeat.”

“All right, I understand now. Lisbeth’s eyes fluttered.

She had become a participant the moment she sat down, so she had to get Lillia a Satur diamond.

At that moment, Kedrick, sitting next to Lillia pretending to be cool with his long legs crossed, chuckled.

“Don’t worry, everyone. I was going to buy that diamond for Lillia anyway.”

“Uwoooh…!”

“As expected of Young Master Kedrick!”

“How cool!”

The little boys sitting around the table giggled and cheered.

Knock, knock.

Then Ricky tapped the table several times to draw attention and asked Lisbeth, “Next, it’s the princess’s turn. What would you like to have?”

“Huh? Me? I’m not really-”

“People usually want expensive jewelry or art, but it doesn’t have to be things.” Ricky smiled sweetly, and Lillia added as if she had been waiting, “Ricky will escort the princess through the party today… How does that sound?”

“What?”

For a moment, Lisbeth’s eyes widened with excitement.

“Y-You can do that?”

“Absolutely. You can say anything you want. Do you want that?” Ricky tilted his head slightly and smiled.

The appearance of his soft blonde hair fluttering over his white face was like an angel…

‘Whew, seriously. That’s the devil. The devil.’

Knowing Ricky’s true intentions, I shook my head inwardly.

“Then what about the Lucifer’s Choice?”

“This game is played with extreme taste…”

Ricky pretended to be troubled but soon exclaimed with an Ah!

“Princess was really looking forward to today’s party, wasn’t she? So if you choose Lucifer’s Choice, you’ll go home on the spot. What do you think?”

“Huuuh?”

I knew it would be like this.

Lisbeth was annoying, but I couldn’t ignore her because she was a member of the imperial family, so I had to deal with this.

Ricky, who found her existence troublesome, must’ve done the trick. He was trying to get rid of Lisbeth right before everyone’s eyes.

“Well, that’s too extreme…”

“But it’s not fun if the choices aren’t balanced. If you are worried about losing, you can abstain.” Ricky licked his lips, pretending to be disappointed.

I swallowed inwardly as I looked at Lisbeth, who started to ponder as she bit her nails.

‘What’s so good about that face?’

I really can’t understand. I’ve finally let her come to the party, and now she’s worrying over this…

I clicked my tongue and paused for a moment as I regained my senses.

‘Right, it’s funny that I feel sorry for Lisbeth. I know that feeling best.’

Because I’ve been beaten dozens of times by this damn game.

I looked around at the little ones, who giggled as if they were having fun.

Their mocking voices were clear in my ears.

“What will be the choice of Princess Rubette? Will she be able to kiss Kedrick Reiger?”

“Prepare and unfold!”

“Ahahaha,,,! It’s Lucifer again!”

“The kiss is gone!”

“Oh, can we see Ruby’s fancy butt dance today?”

Rubette had always chosen Lucifer.

She had to go up on stage at every party and shake her butt ridiculously.

She had to do elephant nose and spin around in place for about twenty laps, and there were times when she got dizzy and fell to the floor.

The children became happier whenever Rubette cried out of shame.

‘The devil’s spawns.’

Nevertheless, Rubette had never withdrawn from the game. Because they’d half-threatened her, she would have no choice but to play by saying Are you going to ruin the atmosphere? And also…

‘She really wanted to kiss Kedrick once. The odds are half and half, and she believed Michael would come out one day.’

I stared at Kedrick, who was sitting across from me, with a grin on my face.

‘It’s scary to have a pure crush on someone.’

The memory of Kedrick, who had comforted eight-year-old Rubette, who was crying, was too great.

She wanted to hear that sweet voice one more time, so she hung forever…

“Princess Rubetria, right?

“Why are you crying alone here?”

Rubette met Kedrick at a mask festival held on the national holiday and fell in love with him.

“There’stearstain. It seems that you’ve cried a lot.”

“When you grow up later, I’ll propose to you.”

At that time, Kedrick was kind, friendly, and a little innocent. I can’t believe he grew up to be a shithead.

‘Would that bastard know that the cheap necklace he bought at the general store to comfort her from crying at that time would be Rubette’s 45-year lifelong treasure?’

I wanted to throw it in the gutter immediately, but I couldn’t do it because of Rubette’s heart, which cherished it.

“Sigh.”

I came out of the recollection and looked back at Lisbeth.

‘So do you. Rubette has already lost once. What will you do? Even though it’s your heart, you can’t just do whatever you want.’

I sighed as I saw her nodding her head with determined eyes to finally play the game.

“The princess will do it. Mix it.”

Lillia, laughing out loud, gave the order to the helper standing next to her.

The servant put two notes in the golden cup and shuffled them back and forth several times on the table.

Lisbeth looked at the two golden cups with her eyes wide open, and looking at her, the devils held back their laughter and looked at each other.

“Now choose.”

“I, I-”

Ricky brought the two golden cups from a distance and, with a friendly gesture, led them to Lisbeth’s front.

‘Whatever you choose, it will be Lucifer.’

It was a pity for Lisbeth, who was anticipating it, but she would never have Michael fall into her hands.

I’ve played this game dozens of times and never picked up Michael, and it’s no coincidence.

“Left!”

“Left?”

But can you call it a scam and tell them it’s null and void?

No. There’s no moderator in this game. It’s just a board prepared for the fun of the devils from the start.

If I, who used to draw Lucifer 10 out of 10 times, asked them to open the other cup that was not chosen out of curiosity.

‘They’ll frown, curse, and make a fuss with rules and everything.’

I sprang up and quickly grabbed the note before Ricky, who opened the golden cup on the left, picked it up.

Everyone’s eyes were on me.

“Is this the one you picked, Princess?”

“Mm? Uh, that’s right.”

Looking at the puzzled devils one by one, I smiled softly and stuck out my tongue.

“Hey!”

Suddenly, Ricky stood up.

I turned to him, rolled the piece of paper in my mouth, wet it, and then-

Gulp.

“…!”

I swallowed it.

Ricky’s mouth was wide open.

Lisbeth was surprised too.

“What are you doing? Why did you eat it, Rubette?”

After taking a sip of the cocktail next to me, I grinned and said.

“It’s fun.”

“What? No, why… If you swallow it, we can’t check it!”

“Why not?”

I shuddered and pointed to the other cup that Lisbeth had not chosen.

“In any case, one is Michael, and the other is Lucifer. So we can just check this one out.”

“Ah!”

“Isn’t that right, Ricky?” I smiled as I looked at Ricky, who was lost in thought.

“If Lucifer’s note was coming out here, then the princess must have chosen Michael.”

The faces of the other devils, who knew they were both lucifers, were also worth seeing.

‘How long did you think this scam game would fool me?’

After looking at each of the little ones who looked at each other and coughed, I said to Ricky again.

“Let’s take a look.”
