prom (4)

The news that Deron Phylasia was ill was a known fact all over the world.

After he first appeared in the social world, he hadn’t appeared once.

Advice shared by those who saw Deron in the social world.

All this made him conjecture that he was ill.

So the nobles cheered at the news that Deron took on the role of the princess’s partner.

This is because the princess’s intention to defeat the duke, especially the eldest son of the powerful Philasia family, was revealed.

If it was Deron, who was rumored to be sick, it was clear that he would be crushed by the momentum of the second princess.

The battle of the nobles is never done only with swords and spears.

They wear swords rather than swords. He fights with tricks rather than spears.

The blue-blooded nobles avoided physical fights even more.

At the latest, the two main characters of the ball were waiting for them with a smile.

Perhaps it is because she is suffering from the pressure of the princess again.

If it was Deron, who was famous for his weak body, it was a possible story.

Until the princess came, as usual, she had to enjoy the ball with the prepared slaves.

And when the servant finally shouted out the names of the princess and Deron, everyone looked embarrassed.

The servant should have clearly informed the position of the princess and Deron, but Deron’s appearance was not the state they had imagined.

Deron, who actually appeared, was not at all under the pressure of the princess.

No, it was rather overwhelming the entire ball.

He is a tall, handsome man who resembles his father.

It’s a face that’s enough to captivate women’s hearts.

It wasn’t just that.

His well-trained body was well-balanced enough to exceed that of a normal knight, and even a black outfit that most people couldn’t easily wear was a perfect fit for his body.

As Deron Phylasia scanned the ballroom, the young girls of the noble family shone.

A cold expression and blunt eyes.

And even a face that is not lacking in being handsome.

It seems that the arrogant atmosphere was very impressive.

“The second daughter of the Leonhart family. His Majesty the Second Princess Augustus Leonhart Regina has entered!”

The servant shouted loudly.

As I said once, it was because the nobles focused their eyes on Deron and did not show the example they should have taken.

It was then that the nobles came to their senses.

I even had to admit it. That arrogant handsome man is said to be the sick man in the rumor.

“Show with your deeds the respect that the descendants of the imperial family deserve!”

As soon as the servant finished speaking, the nobles all bowed their heads.

It was an attitude that should be shown to the descendants of the imperial family.

But they felt a little strange.

Obviously, they are paying their respects to the Crown Princess.

Deron Phylasia seemed to receive that greeting.

bum bum, bum bum.

Along the central road where the nobles bowed their heads and retreated.

Deron Phylasia walked with the princess.

“The atmosphere at the prom had cooled down because the main woman came late.”

“I told you I was obviously late.”

“Did your mother ever say anything to you?”

“I’m telling you in advance just in case you do.”

Deron and the princess exchanged words.

The musicians, who had been paying attention to the surroundings, started playing again.

A sweet melody is laid, and the heads of nobles rise upward.

The nobles who raised their heads enjoyed their own prom.

He said hello to the princess, or even danced with the woman he liked.

However, he couldn’t stop his gaze from going to Deron.

True to name, the center of this ball was Deron Phylasia.

Even Marquis Ferdin, who hosted the ball, drew attention to Deron.

He didn’t do anything.

It was just sitting next to the princess and sometimes flirting and watching the ball.

The nobles approached Deron and greeted him.

Everyone was crushed by his momentum and could not speak properly.

At least the lords above the count were able to stand upright against Deron.

“I heard rumors that he was ill, but looking at Confucius, it doesn’t seem so.”

“The sick are right.”

At Deron’s words affirming the rumors surrounding him, one of the southern high lords frowned.

You’re standing right in front of me and you’re sick.

What the hell did you mean?

They thought that Deron was lying, but they did not leave easily.

He is the eldest son of the Duke of Philasia, who had not seen a proboscis in the social world for a long time.

Considering its prestige, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest variable in the future power struggle.

Even though the current Crown Prince had been showing a mean appearance before, he is favored by the emperor.

Even if you do something like that, you can guess that he did not step down from the throne.

But if the 2nd Princess could hold Deron Phylasia in her arms.

The game is going to go big.

Most of those who understood this were high lords above the count.

Maybe it was normal. In order to maintain power, the flow must be clearly understood.

And if it was a great lord who was more than a count, he also had the power to steer the flow and twist it.

It seems that there are many achievements to be achieved at this prom.

The nobles thought so as they looked around each other.

“I’m going crazy.”

I scratched my head and looked up at the sky. The night sky spread over the veranda is beautiful.

The aristocrats did not know how to stop the offensive of questions. They kept asking questions as if they were waiting for me to come out of the house.

‘I have some guesses… .’

Even in modern society, the value of information is very important. Even ordinary citizens would not have easily passed the price of that information.

What about information in this era?

It’s a story that never happened in the original story. It was a story I was going through.

The eldest son of the Duke of Philasia.

With this identity alone, I can be the center of the ball.

Especially since I couldn’t go out because of the deadline.

‘I don’t want that.’

There’s nothing good about drawing attention. Because the interest of the nobles is nothing good for me.

Other than that, I have no intention of having anything to do with politics.

At least what I saw was just annoying.

“Were you here?”

The door to the veranda opened with a slight commotion.

Beyond that, the princess came in.

“You’re not at the ball, what are you doing here?”

“These are writers who only talk about obvious things anyway. She doesn’t like boring flattery like that.”

“Don’t you think I’m going to do such boring flattery?”

“I don’t think a man bold enough to give advice to his wife would do such a boring thing.”

As the princess said that, she turned and looked at me. Behind the body leaning against the railing, the dimly lit city scene catches my eye.

In the background of the mansion, you can see that Marquis Ferdin put a lot of effort into it.

“He said he didn’t even tell me about the family history of the imperial family.”

“yes.”

“Did you wear a mask on your face? It makes you wonder how he can lie without changing his expression.”

“… ?”

I never lied. What the hell is the princess talking about?

“There is no way someone like you could not have investigated information about the conflict between the royal family. And information related to the Empress.”

“No, I really… .”

“Don’t even try to deceive me anymore.”

The princess glared at me while asserting that. No because I never cheated?

It’s frustrating and I’m about to explode. She was interpreting me at will.

“… The prince was trash. Until two years ago, it was a fact that everyone secretly admitted. You would know.”

I shook my head. I don’t know. Even if you know it, how do you admit it?

“The Empress, that is, my mother, did everything possible to rehabilitate the Crown Prince. He was probably the only son.”

There is sadness in the eyes of the princess who speaks the name of the Empress.

He seemed to have missed his mother quite a bit.

“Still, the Crown Prince did not change. No, rather, I enjoyed being more vicious.”

From then on, the princess spoke as if she was chewing on the notoriety of the Crown Prince.

With every word you utter, you feel a sense of malice.

You’ve done all the fucking shit.

I thought so.

“Then my mother died. In the prince’s bedroom, in front of his eyes.”

what? What kind of crazy development is that?

“It was poison. The culprit was the Crown Prince’s attendant.”

her eyes twinkle The princess frowned as if she remembered the most disgusting thing in the world.

“My mother’s body was engulfed with magic.

From the darkened skin, the stench stung my nose.”

The princess grinded her teeth.

“the problem is. The point is that magic was also detected in the hand of the Crown Prince.”

“Magi from the hand… mean?”

“okay. A ferocious and rotting magi like her mother’s.”

The Crown Prince assassinated the Empress. I thought the princess hated her for thinking that way.

But the princess shook her head at my question.

“no. It’s still under investigation. Not sure.”

“then… ?”

“The Crown Prince has changed since his mother died. He took off his fucking skin and played Seong-gun.”

I thought of Adrian. Even though he looks lazy, he manages the situation.

Apart from that, a man who knows how to use the dignity worthy of a prince.

Was it all acting?

“I wish I could have done that. He even took care of his wife, whom he had never been interested in.”

“Aren’t you out of your mind?”

“no. that’s smoke How long do you think it takes for a person to change?”

“It will take at least a few months.”

“The man came back as a different person in just two days.”

The princess sharpened her teeth.

“I wish I couldn’t be an asshole. Even though he obviously has the qualities to become a saint. making her mother suffer like that. Until the moment of death… .”

“… .”

“I can’t forgive the Crown Prince. Even if you throw away that damn mask, your nature must be evil.”

Saying that, the princess looked back.

The stars in the sky are staring at her.

“I can’t watch a prince like that become emperor and rule the empire.”

all perception. The true sun of the empire. No one except God can be called higher than the Emperor.

“So, she wants to become the emperor.”

The princess aspires to become the emperor. To prevent his brother from becoming emperor.

I just listened to her declaration calmly.

‘whatever. It has nothing to do with me anyway.’
