Chapter 169
I slowly raised my head to the familiar voice. The sun-haired blonde man stood coldly in front of my nose."Your Highness."I said him not to come, but I burst into laughter at the sight of the man who came at my coming-of-age ceremony.It seemed helpless for me to do anything about Callisto who appeared confidently with a red cape. "I greet the little sun of the Empire."I bowed my head slightly. The Crown Prince, who didn’t answer at my greeting, finally opened his mouth after a long time."Raise your head."At that remark I looked up and faced him."I told you not to pretend you know me, but you’re pretending again." "It’s beautiful."His wrong answer was caused by my hasty attitude. I understood his words a little later.It was a dress that I wore thinking he wouldn’t come, but I was embarrassed that the person who gave me the present appeared here. Even though I couldn’t make eye contact with him and didn’t know what to do, the Crown Prince uttered without hesitation.Visit li/ghtnovel/p/ub[.]/com for the best novel reading experience"It’s more than I imagined myself." """It looked like that only to mebut looking around, it seems that all the guys were staring at you."He looked at me with an expressionless face and said bluntly.I was surprised to see the Crown Prince saying such things. I had never heard such a strange compliment, and once again I burst into laughter. I calmly decided to accept his gifts and praise."I don’t know what to do with the hype." "I’m not kidding, Princess."He bend his head slightly toward me and whispered with low voice."I just barely endured on what I wanted to do because I want gouge all the eyes out of those bastards." I frowned upon the brutal joke."Heep holding it in until the end of the ceremony.""Is that what the protagonist of today is going to say?" "Or, take them to a place where I am not there."Only then Callisto loosened up his expression, which was fiercely rigid, and then he sighed and smiled. "Alright, because you hate cruelty."As he nodded his head, he asked suddenly "Have you got my gift?""Yes, there are so many presents that I don’t know if I can use them all... Anyway, thank you, Your...Highness.""Don’t feel too pressured because I picked them especially for you."When the butler delivered the message a few days ago, I thought it was just an exaggeration, but now he really said it himself. I was dumbfounded at his arrogant look and opened my mouth."Whenever you come to the Duchy, do you come as it is a conquest war?""What, is there somewhere you want to go? Just say it. I didn’t know you were so belligerent." "No, nothing."Callisto laughed short again at my answer. Then suddenly, his gaze fell on the lower part of my chest. "But, wasn’t that the one from Soleil last time?""Yes? What"Following his gaze, I lowered my head and found an ancient magic necklace that I had just been worried about."Ah""It’s weird."In other words the Crown Prince commented that it didn’t match to the dress."What is it you’re so fond for? How dare you put me, the Crown Prince of the Empire, in such a humiliating situation. Shit!"He added in an unpleasant voice. I fully understood his displeasure and answered him gently. "It’s a gift from Vince.""Vince? Who is that?"You know the wizard from another country who helped me. Wearing a mask." "Oh, bare feet with the evil spirit"Whether he deliberately forgot, the Crown Prince exclaimed briefly. All he could remembered was evil spirit and bare feet. I felt a little sorry for the evil spirit barefoot man behind me, so I just laughed awkwardly."What is it?"Suddenly the Crown Prince asked, with his eyes slightly open. "This necklace is supposed to protect the wearer’s life." "How?""If there is a danger around, the color of the gem in the middle changesI think it’s like an amulet inthat country."To be exact, it was to detect a change in nature caused by toxicity or magic, but I said roughly. "You gave me a similar gift just like that."Only then the Crown Prince stop inquiring persistently and sarcastically as if he wasn’t convinced. I was curious about what ’similar gift’ it was, but I hurriedly took off my necklace rather than question it."Just wearing it."But the moment I had just caught the silver chain, Callisto stopped me. "Why?""...........""Still even at the distance, Princess. I’m blinded."He suddenly frowned and looked at me. And slowly reached out to me. The man’s fingertips touched my head, caressing my hair and touched the strands near my ears."Strange. Did you put on some luminous magic?"He tilted his head as if he really didn’t know what it was going on. I looked at him because it was him with his hand that stroked my head with his shaking eyes. The Crown Prince was giving out the same impression that I had always felt.Just as I felt about his golden hair, it wasn’t much. The flowers on my head were a tiara or earrings I wear. There was enough light to reflect and to fit in his description like that.Nevertheless, as he said, I felt strange. My heart was pounding so hardNo, I couldn’t stand but totremble.
