~ Episode 4 ~

I had already lost my words since I discovered the violet eyes that were only passed on to the royal family.

Glittering like jewels, the eyes of self-determination kept looking down at me with a strange look.

The eyes were beautiful, but the life pouring down from the top was not very beautiful.

Rather, it gave me goosebumps all over my body.

“Hooh… we don’t have much time left. Previously, why were you covering your face?”

“….”

“Raise your head, Miss. I’ve been rude for a while, but I’ve never said I’d eat you.”

 

We, well, yeah. Certainly that’s the case.

 

‘But you were the one who came at me out of the blue….’

 

I was caught by someone looking like a kid who didn’t know where he came from, but how many people can I face with confidence?

I felt unfair, but I am in a position where I couldn’t avoid him forever.

 

I raised my head and faced him.

In the end, the moment came when those Violet eyes, who had only secretly glanced, received the gaze of my eyes.

One of my arms was still held by him.

Whenever his fingers moved, his shoulders shivered as the hot energy flowed through his skin.

I shouldn’t have worn a sleeveless dress to look good.

I really wanted to hit myself now.

 

I cleared my throat and opened my mouth.

 

“I’m sorry… Can you let go of my arm?”

“Oh, excuse me.”

“That’s all right.”

I erased the cool look in my eyes for a moment and brushed off my arm gloomily.

The marks left on my arm were severe because it had been held for a long time.

I’d love to get reimbursed, but let’s be patient.

My opponent is a crazy person, no, it was Carlos.

Now is not the time to lose my temper, but it is not enough to accept his suggestion.

 

“My greetings are late.”

It was like a natural thing for a low person to bow down to a high person.

I bowed my upper body with my hands on my chest and saluted politely.

 

After all, he is the prince of this country who was the main character.

 

“May God’s blessings reach you. I am Rose Lutiens from the Velos Territory Security Team, First Prince, I greet you.”

 

“… .. Now, even the obvious greeting is a luxury. Keep it simple.”

 

“I’m so sorry. Is there something you have to say to me?”

I asked him, straightening my gaze that I had lowered to the floor.

 

“Yes, I do.”

 

From now on, it was finally the main point.

“Listen to me from now on, Miss.”

“….Yes, go ahead.”

He replied, swallowing dry saliva in a more solid atmosphere.

Was it because his forehead was filled with cold sweat?

I looked up firmly at Carlos, leaving behind the attitude that I had just been trying to avoid him.

He had the appearance of captivating people to the point where they could not take his eyes off of him, but as the time to make eye contact grew longer, fear grew again.

Haha. Oh, my.

‘Let’s not be afraid of being the only violet in this country.’

 

I managed to repeat it to myself.

Yeah. Eljevita and Carlos haven’t met yet, so none of the original content would have gone on.

In other words, Carlos’ personality was described as a Crazy Person in the original novel.

 

I waited for him to spit what he had to say with a little hope.

 

His mouth finally opened again.

“Miss, though it may sound like a sudden request.”

But this was already shocking.

…Huh? What do you mean by a request?

“Ye, yes?”

 

Unknowingly, I opened my mouth and asked again.

 

What’s the matter with the prince that he even pulled me here and asked me who is a noble maiden?

 

While being curious, more words continued.

“If you don’t have a partner, would you be my partner?”

“…..?”

Just now, what did you say. ..I then took a breath of surprise. At this moment, this proposal felt to me like the greatest threat to life.

I slowly blinked at the incredible fact.

“…Yes?”

Partner?

 

***

 

Ishid must have disappeared too, and unintentionally, a banquet partner must have been created. Was it the problem that I accepted Carlos’s proposal with a heart of adoration?

It’s rattling.

‘Oops.’

Every time the wagon rattled over a stone beak, I felt sick.

Why does a horseman drive like this?

 

In this type of carriage driving, even a normal person would vomit.

I barely raised my slender body and moved my gaze to the long door.

 

“…Ugh.”

In fact, there was someone else who looked worse than me, but I was pretending not to look because I don’t know what kind of reaction would come out from me.

 

But at the next second, he moaned which was not at the level of motion sickness. I couldn’t stand it and spoke.

 

“Ugh.”

“Your Highness, I’m sorry, but may I take a look at your face?”

“….”

“Excuse me.”

Although he didn’t hear the answer, I hurriedly put my palm on his forehead.

But this was unexpected.

“Gasp.”

Why is your forehead so hot?

I was startled by the temperature I felt at the moment, so I pulled my hand off.

However, as time went by, it was impossible to ignore patients who were running out of breath. I took a deep breath and calmly checked his temperature again.

Somehow his skin was burning hot like a ball of fire.

There must be a reason for the sudden increase in body temperature.

What the hell is it?

 

‘After all, it wasn’t that I was possessed by a cold sweat for nothing.’

 

I thought it was an illusion, but now I’m sure.

Carlos, who had been in a hurry from the beginning as if he had been chased somewhere, was not feeling very well.

However, such fever symptoms alone could not be regarded as a cold.

It’s weird that an attacker gets sick in the first place.

Moreover, the grade of Carlos, the main character in the work, is S…

 

‘Aha. Is it unstable in body flow?’

I heard that if your ability is too high, sometimes the energy flowing in your body gets lumpy.

Was there a case like that in the original story?

I don’t think so.

While guessing the cause, the wrist that touched his forehead was caught by a hand for an instant.

“Miss. Are you capable of healing?”

Carlos, who was already covered in cold sweat, asked me with his haggard eyes. The strength of the wrist was shaking finely.

Does this mean that there’s a lot going on right now?

His exhaustion and unknown cause was still going on at this moment.

Perhaps because of that, the longing for an answer began to follow me.

“Uhm.”

 

Are you a healer? The question is a bit vague… What would you like me to answer? After hesitating for a bit, I opened my mouth and answered politely.

 

“Uh… you’re still in charge of healing with the Velos security team, aren’t you?”

“What’s your grade?”

“It’s F.”

“…..”

There was silence.

Uh, well, it suddenly became quiet.

I shouldn’t have said that.

I scratched my cheek with my other hand over my awkward wrist.

 

Perhaps he felt somewhat dissatisfied with my answer, Carlos, who had been buried in silence, opened his mouth as if growling.

 

“You never want to remember, but you’ll be in a bad mood if you also forget.”

His eyes, which were desperate for a moment, were filled with distrust.

“….”

Wow, look at him making it obvious that he doesn’t like it.

This is why I’m scared of meritocracy.

 

It’s like classifying someone who cares conscientiously!

 

However, contrary to the grievances I quietly stepped back and sat down after his reply.

 

I would never say that I was scared of the cool Violet of Carlos.

… Yes.

I’ll just stay still.

***

 

Arrived at the banquet hall in a long silence.

 

The coachman, who had put down the reins and came out, looked strangely at Carlos and me as they stepped down the stairs from the inside, but this was a no escort scene that had already been agreed with him in advance.

 

It’s just that we became partners in a hurry, because it’s the first time we met, and the gentleman didn’t have the stamina to look for someone else in the first place.

 

“When we arrive, Miss and I get off separately. I only need Miss as a partner to enter the banquet hall, but I didn’t ask for the role of you being my partner the whole banquet and for the frivolous talks.”

 

“Yes, that’s great.”

I readily agreed to his remarks. I don’t like the bad-temper either.

As I got out of the carriage first and was organizing my dress, a big hand came forward.

It belonged to Carlos.

“Let’s walk arm in arm.”

“Oh, yes.”

 

“Hurry up and finish our entry, and leave for our separate ways. That’s the end of my request.”

 

It’s short and simple for a favor.

He nodded and put my hands on his arms and stepped forward side by side with him.

Carlos’ face, which was slightly visible from the side of my eyes, was better than expected.

 

Although he was barely able to get rid of a cold sweat, he was still in good shape.

 

Oh. Even if you’re sick, you’re still a royal, right?

 

No one knew he was sick except that he was a little pale overall.

 

I peeked at Carlos who pretended that he was fine inside.

 

That face is exactly like my face at the time of the physical examination.

 

The expression on his face as if he had suffered a lot of forcibly endured pain, and the gesture of lowering his back and clenching his teeth weakly.

 

I suddenly felt a sense of homogeneity.

Oh, I’ve been doing this all along…?

At that moment, two eyes met the face that he had been peeking at without a chance to step back.

Carlos, who was smirking, soon asked.

“Why? Miss, do you want something that can return the favor I asked you?”

“What?”

“Usually, those reactions are normal. Sometimes when I say ‘please’ to them, my eyes couldn’t be so sparkling.”

That’s because you’re the prince of this country.

 

I swallowed the words and shook my head slightly.

 

He’s saying something about his behavior in the first place.

 

Carlos was skeptical of the inevitable reaction, and it was hard to explain how bitter Carlos was.

 

I felt like I couldn’t help myself.

 

Even if you’re like me, I’m the type of person who will ask you if you give me a price.

 

“Is there a price you want from me?”

 

“It would be nice if there was.”

 

“Unlike other Miss’s, this one is good because it’s honest. What is the price you want?”

 

Please leave me alone.
