The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

The princess was ready.

“······It’s huge.”

It was my impression of seeing the imperial palace that slowly began to appear in the carriage.

huge Grand.

Other than these two expressions, is there any other word that can perfectly describe the Imperial Palace?

If you think about it, it’s ‘glamorous.’ It seems to be to some extent.

The majestic and solemn atmosphere captivated me more than the flashy ones.

“Is this your first visit to the Imperial Palace?”

“Yes, have you ever visited Princess?”

“I visited a few times with my father.”

“Is that so.”

After all, a person with the status of a duke would visit the Imperial Palace a lot.

It was not unusual for Rebecca to visit the Imperial Palace for the first time.

“Then, can I expect the princess to guide me to the Imperial Palace?”

“…do you want an escort for your fiancee?”

Rebecca looks at me with an expressionless expression.

What fiance wants to escort his fiancee.

She was a princess with an expression like looking at the most shameless person in the world.

“It is a time-honored orthodoxy for an acquaintance to teach a ignorant.”

“····.”

I was a much more brazen person than the princess thought.

“I’m joking. Let’s unwind.”

Of course, seeing Rebecca’s wrinkled expression on her face, she immediately stopped.

“People look ugly when their expressions are wrinkled.”

“You said I was ugly right now…”

“Except for my fiancée, the most beautiful woman in the world.”

“····.”

“Is there any way I can tell the princess I love that I’m ugly?”

“…don’t make fun of me.”

Rebecca’s sullen expression as if she was about to bite her. I collapsed at the words ‘beautiful’ and ‘love’.

She was a cute princess because she always had the same thing to fall for at embarrassing words.

“Why do you keep looking at me?”

“My fiancée is so pretty that I keep staring at it.”

“····.”

Spending time looking at Rebecca’s red-hot face.

“What is your identity?”

Eventually, we reached the entrance of the imperial palace blocked by the guards.

“Rebecca Valencia of the Duke of Valencia, and Albert Xernias of the Count of Xernias.”

“Show me the invitation.”

A guard, armed with very strict-looking armor, asked me to show him an invitation.

“Here it is.”

“I’ll check it out in a moment, so please wait.”

The guard, who received the two invitations I handed them, carefully checked them.

“It’s going to take a while.”

“That’s it.”

I completely sympathized with the princess’s words as if she was bored.

If I had come with my father and mother in a wagon, there would have been no need to go through this verification process.

– This mother will go first with your father, so my son, when the princess wakes up, ride the wagon together.

– ···.

Someone overslept, so there was an accident in which the parents and the carriage ride separately.

“What are you looking at?”

“······it’s nothing.”

It seems that someone doesn’t even know that it’s taking so long because of him.

The reason Rebecca overslept was because she was helping me practice my dance. I had nothing to say.

No matter how brazen I was, I wasn’t brazen enough to tell the person I helped me that I woke up late.

“·········Confirmed. Princess Rebecca of the Duke of Valencia family, Prince Albert of the Count Zernias family. Welcome to the Imperial Palace.”

Guess the invitation had been checked, the guard opened the road that had been blocked with a welcome message.

For the first time, I was able to step into the Imperial Palace, where an important event of the original was held.

***

“…are you here too early?”

I was now wandering aimlessly around the Imperial Palace by myself.

First of all, it was still a little time before the banquet started.

– We have to part for a while.

– Are you going to the Duchess?

– yes. My mother told me to come see her as soon as she arrived.

Because Rebecca was escorted out of the carriage and had to go straight to the place of her mother, the Duchess.

– Don’t be upset that I’m not there again.

– Please don’t make fun of me.

Finally, he teased Rebecca once and sent the princess away.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t sad that we had to part as soon as we arrived. In the beginning, young girls who are about to debut Tangte have a lot to prepare.

I didn’t show anything sad.

In fact, I could have joined if I wanted to join my mother and father.

Even if it was your first visit to the Imperial Palace, if you asked a passer-by, you could tell where your father or mother was.

But why didn’t you go to your parents?

It was just an excuse to walk around the Imperial Palace, which was described only in letters in the novel, because it was strange.

‘If I go, it will only be a hindrance.’

It seems like the two of you have been spending some time together after a long time, but I didn’t want to light a candle.

As a son, there was nothing wrong with having a good mother and father’s gold thread.

It was uncomfortable for a son to see his parents’ affection for each other.

What parent wants to show affection to their children?

It should be there if you look for it. At least not my parents.

So, instead of joining her parents like Rebecca, she chose to visit the Imperial Palace.

There was about an hour left before the banquet started in earnest.

It was enough time to look around, no matter how large the imperial palace was.

It seemed like we should just look around and move to the banquet hall.

There was a time when I thought…

“What’s your name?”

“···································································· their prince.

The prince of the empire and the protagonist of this novel that I possessed.

Until I met ‘Mikhail Schelgart’.

*

Mikhail Schellgart.

The protagonist of this novel, who plays the role of ‘Prince Prince’ in the title [The Prince Holds the Sword].

Like the next emperor, he has a cold and sober personality. A character who has the setting to be for the people more than anyone else.

To borrow a reference from the movie, Mikhail was more of an ’emperor’ than anyone else.

As such, in the original story, he was the main character who received the envy of all the characters and readers.

“I’ll ask you again. What’s your name?”

“····.”

I didn’t like the character Mikhail.

Even though the author wrote in a blunt setting, the reason Rebecca’s family, the Duke of Valencia family, collapsed is because of the prince who asks his name in front of me now.

That’s why I quit the novel. I was possessed by this novel because I left the novel.

I couldn’t have had any good feelings for Mikhail.

“It’s clear that he’s a nobleman when he sees him wandering around here comfortably. It’s the first time I’ve seen his face.”

“I am Albert Xernias of Count Xernias.”

But even if you don’t have good feelings.

Because it was clear that the Zernias family would be destroyed before the Valencia family if they committed the blasphemy of not responding to the prince’s words.

He answered the prince’s words with as much manners as possible.

“If it’s from the Count Xernias…”

Mikhail knew me, whom he had never seen before.

Perhaps he knew as someone who was engaged to the only daughter of the Duke of Valencia family.

“…a family that is engaged to the Duke of Valencia.”

As I expected, the Crown Prince knew a little bit about my identity as a link to the Duke of Valencia.

“you’re right.”

I didn’t deny that either.

There is no need to hide my identity, because I wanted to get out of this uncomfortable conversation as quickly as possible by arguing as much as possible.

“········ So it is. The reason you visited the Imperial Palace was for a banquet, right?”

“That’s right.”

Fortunately, Mikhail also didn’t intend to hold on to me for a long time, or maybe he had other things to do.

“Because there is not much time left until the start of the banquet, it would be better to go to the banquet hall soon.”

“······thank you.”

He passed me by leaving the advice to go to the banquet hall.

After that, I confirmed that the Crown Prince had gone that far.

“Whoa.”

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

Since I was possessed in the novel, I thought that one day I would meet Mikhail, the protagonist of the novel.

“······· Already met already.”

I didn’t expect to see you so soon.

Personally, it was my heart that I didn’t want to get involved with the original characters except for Rebecca.

I don’t know if it’s a case of unavoidable encounter like I just did, but I didn’t have the desire to go and get involved with myself.

I didn’t even anticipate what would happen if there was a variable called me in the story of the original, which would flow smoothly.

As I have the goal of protecting the Duke of Valencia family of Rebecca, who will be destroyed for treason, I was not happy with even a small variable.

“Shall we go soon?”

Anyway, the prince’s advice to go to the banquet hall soon, even if it wasn’t pleasant, was right.

“I wonder which banquet hall…”

“You can go over there.”

I went to the banquet hall, asking for directions to the royal servants I see occasionally.

“Why are you coming so late?”

There, I met Rebecca, who had a gloomy expression on her face.

Contrary to the comfortable appearance she has shown me so far, a princess with a red dress that suits her well, and even makeup and makeup to enhance her beautiful appearance.

“····.”

“Come over here without staring blankly.”

and that look.

I could confidently say that she was the prettiest woman I had ever seen while looking at a princess in the past three years.
