I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead

It was.

So Rieta fixed the necklace until dawn.

But the play was only in the afternoon . . .

“. . . !”

Rieta hurriedly opened her curtains.

Then, she saw the wooden shutters that blocked out the sunlight.

They were normally open, but they seem to be closed for Rieta.

She pulled the shutters.

The white sunlight was shining brightly.

Rieta confirmed where the light was coming from.

The sun hung in the middle of the sky.

So that was it.

It meant that the time had already come for the play to begin.

As she looked behind, the butler’s hand-made necklace glowed.

As if asking, ‘Princess, what are you going to do now?’

There’s no time to worry!

Rieta immediately prepared a carriage and hurried to get out.

Nothing was going to be solved by staying in her room.

She took the necklace box and the necessary package and went down the porch, where she climbed onto the carriage.

“Hurry up, we have to go to the academy!”

She made an urgent request to the coachman, but he only looked at her in surprise.

“What?!”

“I said, the academy.”

“Prin, Princess is going there?!”

It was not unreasonable for the coachman to ask back in surprise, so Rieta tried to explain the circumstances about the necklace to him.

But she had to depart first, because she didn’t know if she departs after the coachman heard the story, the play might start.

“Let’s go! I’ll explain as we go.”

Fortunately, the carriage started moving right away, and Rieta hurriedly drew the curtains.

It was to change into the maid outfit she wore when she ‘broke into’ the academy before.

After she quickly finished her disguise, she poked her face out the window leading to the coachman’s seat.

“Oh, what a surprise.”

The coachman looked like he was about to faint as he glanced back at her.

“My God, Princess, you shouldn’t wear clothes like that!”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s not the first time.”

“Uh . . . Hearing that makes me more concerned.”

“Anyway.”

Only then did Rieta explain how precious and important the item in her hand was.

The coachman gave a nod to her story, but he raised one question.

“But the Princess won’t be able to go in even if you go like this. Neither will I.”

The coachman looked rather flustered.

She needed permission from the master to cross the entrance as her servant. Or accompanied by one.

All Rieta had was the fake identity document Darrell had prepared for her the other day.

The coachman and Rieta thought of several ways to summon Everett, who was in the academy, but there was nothing that came to mind.

In the end, unable to come to a conclusion, the two arrived near the entrance of the academy.

Of course, they couldn’t enter confidently. So there was nothing they could do but stop at the nearby wall and look around.

They were worried that they would look suspicious, but fortunately, there were many carriages going in and out of the academy, so they didn’t seem to stand out too much.

Besides, there were several servants waiting for their master outside the academy.

“I will look around for a while and come back. Princess must never get off.”

After finishing the request, the coachman got off first and ran towards the entrance.

He seemed to see if he could ask the soldier to deliver the thing.

Rieta stood with her face pressed against the window of the carriage, watching if the coachman’s request succeeded.

But the soldier only shook his head when talking to him.

The academy was a very precious place in the Empire.

There was no way the goods could be easily brought in without a noble’s guarantee.

Rieta let out a long sigh. She even turned her head toward the floor naturally.

“I guess I can’t . . .”

I’m sorry Everett, but I guess you’ll have to hope for a good play without the necklace.

Knock, knock.

Then someone knocked on the window of the carriage in which Rieta was riding.

Could it be that the coachman has returned?

Rieta raised her head with a twinkle.

She held out the slightest hope that maybe the generous soldier would do them a favor.

“Ah . . . !”

Unknowingly, she screamed a little.

Because the real ‘hope’ was standing beyond the window.

Rieta, in a rather agitated voice, called out the name of that hope.

“Hugh McLean!”

Appearing in times of trouble, as expected, the male lead in the original story is different no matter what.

Besides, if it was Hugh McLean, anyone could entrust this precious necklace. Because Hugh is an honest man

“Look, Hugh McLean!”

Rieta hastily opened the necklace box.

Fortunately, he seemed to recognize it right away.

It was clear from the look on his face that he was a little surprised.

“Did the Princess come all the way here to deliver that?”

He asked, and Rieta nodded her head.

“You are kind.”

He could feel his gaze glancing over Rieta’s dress.

Since she was openly dressed as a servant, he might think that Rieta was planning to sneak into the academy.
