Reunion with Two Men (4)

Arthur’s eyes thinned as he swirled the wine leaning against the wall from afar. Golden hair in contrast to his dark hair. The blue eyes were so lovely that anyone could see them.

But even at this moment, Arthur, who was just infinitely dark, was noticed. She liked his eyes blazing with jealousy, tightly closed lips.

His touch, which tied her up, continues to attract her with a frighteningly strong obsession with her.

Whoosh!

Prince Persen’s hair trembled as he suddenly approached her. At the same time, her eyes opened round at a breathtaking distance.

“Your Majesty, you’re looking away while I’m in front of you. I’ll have to try harder.”

“Ah. I’m sorry, no matter how hard I try to ignore it, there’s someone who catches my eye.”

She responded casually, but she can’t help but feel her heart pounding in a sudden situation. And seeing Arthur’s expression twisted while watching her like this, she acted differently from her mind again.

“Then, why don’t you use me?”

At Prince Persen’s funny suggestion, she folded her eyes and laughed. She wondered if it’s a new way to ingratiate herself with suggestions on topics he came to become a consort.

“Well, that doesn’t sound bad either.”

She didn’t refuse. Even if he tries to change her mind using this, she is not stupid enough to put a prince from another country as an consort.

If she had intended to put in a consort, she wouldn’t have treated Carl like that in the first place. She has no intention of changing what her father has done.

It was enough to form an alliance if it was due to necessity. There are few ways as certain as the marriage alliance, but it is also difficult to be complicated by it.

“Let’s think about the prize for your cooperation.”

When she gently kissed the back of the prince’s hand, there was a sound of breaking the glass. When she looked up, glass debris was broken and scattered around Arthur.

She smiled deeply at Arthur.

It was more enjoyable than she thought to see Arthur’s expression with cracks.

“……?”

Arthur, who had not taken his eyes off her, hurriedly turned his head and covered his mouth. Suddenly, as soon as the servants approached to clean up his surroundings, he left the banquet hall.

When she saw Arthur turning around, a corner of her heart throbbed. She was consistent with a calm look, but she cared about him.

So much.

“You must be bothered.”

Prince Persen, who was watching from the side, hinted at her. His gaze was also staring at where Arthur disappeared.

“Not at all.”

She answered in a sour way and tried to turn her eyes. The princes’ eyes all turned from Arthur to her, and their smiles were clearly drawn in their heads without looking.

“Even if the Empress’s seat is empty, I don’t understand why you’re leaving the consorts seat empty.”

“Of course, there is no king who refuses a consort.”

The kingdom of Vladion has a total of four consorts. Prince Persen was also a child of the consort, not the Empress, and was the child of Cameron, the second mistress.

And the Empress killed and removed the current consort’s children one by one silently. Cameron sent his son to survive as a consort in another country to save one of her sons.

“The third rank means that you have two older brothers.”

In a different sense, is it desperate?

“Did the coming of a child of a consort somehow upset you?”

“I won’t have a consort anyway, so it doesn’t matter to me.”

She was not even interested in princes from other countries in the first place. He seems like a fun person, but she can’t afford to be interested in anything else… … there won’t be one.

At the end of her gaze, she saw a familiar face.

Prince Persen’s face strangely hardened, perhaps because he saw her distorted expression.

“Then, why don’t you leave it as something other than the consort?”

She answered his words in a firm posture. She couldn’t look away.

If she does that, she’ll miss it.

“Something else?”

“Your Majesty, hold your hand for a moment…….”

His sudden behavior eventually turned her face around.

Tuk~

A piece of paper was placed over her hand.

‘A note?’

Prince Persen smiled brightly, perhaps trying to make other suggestions as well as to use him.

“Many people are watching, so open it when you are alone.”

As she glanced down at the paper held in her hand, Prince Persen bowed his head to show courtesy and disappeared among the people.

She turned around and looked for the person, but he had already disappeared.

“Your Majesty, please dance with me this time.”

“Ahhh…… Do it.”

As expected, she must have seen it wrong, right? He can’t be here.

It was difficult to concentrate throughout the dance with another prince. Her mind has become more and more complicated. Looking at the Prime Minister Fredio, he closed his eyes and signaled as if to hold back a little more.

Eventually, she was able to leave the banquet hall only after dancing with the 10 princes. Of course, it was after completing their gift procession with the celebration of the nobles.

The night sky, where the darkness fell, welcomed her. When she saw the sky where only the twinkling of starlights remained beyond the greenery, she suddenly remembered what she saw earlier.

“It was definitely Nox.”

Arthur clearly said he had sealed him. By the way, could Arthur really seal him?

His words would not have been wrong if he saw what had not appeared so far. If Nox wasn’t sealed, what if he hid himself for a while?

But why is Arthur suddenly at the banquet hall…….

She turned her step and headed to the place where Arthur stayed. He couldn’t have returned to his castle. So it was obvious where he would be.

One room she gave him.

She is sure he knows the answer.
