10 – National Foundation Day (3)

“I have called you not for any static purpose, but simply for the purpose of personal curiosity and fellowship. There is no need to be overly nervous.”

Princess Lobelia, who was in such a hurry, smiled kindly and looked at Adirun.

“When I say personal fellowship… … .”

“That’s why I need a friend. Oh, it would be burdensome to say this out of the blue, right? But I’m sincere. Because I’ve never had anyone I could call a friend. It’s just people who come for political purposes every time.”

At her words, Adyllun and I couldn’t hide our bewilderment. Are you suddenly friends? To Lobelia, who says she needs a friend before getting to know each other properly, the answer we can give is ‘It’s difficult.’

“How dare you be friends with Her Highness the Princess?”

When Adilun spoke in a rather cold tone, Lobelia laughed, saying she knew it.

“Ah, it was just as I expected. Princess Rodenov. It felt like something would be cold from the beginning, but I really like it because it matched my expectations.”

“… … Yeah?”

“I had a longing for the North from the beginning. The cold snowfield and the people who live against it. And the legend of Altair, the ancestor who protects the North… … In particular, the more I heard the legend about the ancestral dragon Altair, the more mysterious and beautiful it was, so I really wanted to go to the North at least once.”

“Ah, go, thank you… … .”

“So, can I touch that horn? I know it’s really rude at first, but I really wanted to meet you. A princess who inherited dragon blood. what a cool title And those horns are really cool. It is round and round like a goat, but the color is a mysterious bluish white. My God, how cool would it be if someone like this were my friend.”

To Lobelia, who spoke with her eyes shining, Adirun only expressed his embarrassment. Even without looking at it, it was obvious why Adilun reacted like that.

It was because until now, no one had approached him without hesitation like Princess Lobelia. That princess, one affinity is over. It was the first time I had ever seen that Adilun so flustered.

“Yes Yes? Boo, horns?”

“Yeah. It’s a horn. That’s what sets me apart from the average person. You know what’s really cool?”

“Nope… … .”

“Oh my God, what a shame.”

At the words of Princess Lobelia, who was sincerely sorry, Adirun, who was next to me, asked.

“Your Highness, are you not offended by my appearance?”

“Are you offended? No, not at all!”

she exclaims proudly.

“I am facing a legend. Who in the world can see a legend right in front of them? A lot of legends are usually out of my sight. But you are different. It’s real right in front of my eyes! The master of dragon blood! Isn’t that right, Prince Phishis?”

Lobelia suddenly turns an arrow at me. But that statement had enough validity, so I nodded. If it were me before, I would have asked if I was crazy, but I need to know something.

I have already become a completely different existence from before by becoming aware of my former life.

“I agree.”

“Yeah?”

Adirun, who momentarily turned his head to me, asked in a puzzled way. To think that he would act and be swayed by embarrassment. It’s still a long way off, Adilune.

I said it to remind her of that fact.

“Adilon. I’ve heard enough of those words and I’m used to it, but why are you so embarrassed?”

“Ahh. Yes. It was. But since Your Highness said so, I’m so embarrassed that I don’t know what to do. I apologize for showing a disorganized attitude.”

She instantly understood my meaning and regained her composure.

Seeing the two of us, Lobelia said curiously.

“But.”

“What are you doing?”

“You two seem to be on good terms, right? ‘I’m sure you’ve heard enough to get used to it?’ Oh my goodness. It must have been a simple arranged marriage!”

She smiled broadly before long, and said to me and Adilon.

“It looks good. Mum. After watching only the young aristocrats involved in arranged marriages at the center fighting each other every day for infidelity or what, seeing these two gave me a really new feeling.”

At those words, we looked at Lobelia with puzzled faces.

“Anyway, like I said before, my wish is to become friends with you two. Originally, friendships are made between people who have experienced enough, but there are quite a few cases where even the feeling of meeting for the first time can develop into good friends.”

Seeing Lobelia’s somewhat earnest attitude, Adyllon and I looked at each other and nodded.

“I wish you well in the future. Her Highness the Princess.”

“me too… … Please take care of me, Her Highness the Princess.”

“really? I am so happy!”

Even so, when I saw Lobelia smiling broadly, I thought it would be better to just accept it, wondering how much she was hungry for being a friend.

“Then, let’s redefine the title. From now on, the two of you, please call me ‘Lea’ in private. When it comes to sharing with friends, it’s not like Gongnyeo or Gongja. And no honorifics!”

“But wouldn’t that be too much?”

At my question, Lobelia firmly shook her head.

“Nope. No. Nicknames are mandatory, not optional.”

“Me, Your Highness. I guess it’s a bit… … .”

When even Adilun refused, Princess Lobelia pouted and said,

“Tell me honestly. You two don’t want to be friends with me, do you? It’s not a vacant seat, but I’m asking you to call me when there are only three of us in private.”

“Could that be? Even if it’s okay to say a nickname, it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of … .”

At my words, Adilun quickly nodded.

“ha.”

Lobelia sighed at the sight, seemed to think for a moment, then spoke to us.

“I see. Then there was no half talk. Instead, please don’t call Princess Hani and Lobelia Highness. OK?”

“If that’s enough… … I know. Leah.”

“like. Then. To commemorate the first friendship… … .”

“As a memorial?”

“Can I touch the horn just once?”

“Do whatever you want, Leah.”

To Lobelia, who spoke innocently, Adirun nodded as if he couldn’t help it.

* * *

As soon as the two of them went out of the garden, I withdrew my innocence.

“Both of you are bad at acting.”

Unbeknownst to me, self-talk came out. Maybe it’s because it’s a place where no one is around, so it seems that my mind has been relieved. The two people I saw were awkward. To be precise, Adirun.

Whereas Physics still acts quite well, Adylun’s expression was revealed on his face. Perhaps it was a lie to agree with me when I said that we are good friends.

While talking, when I look at Adilun, who was immediately surprised by Physis’ story, a scene comes to mind.

A feeling of embarrassment that only comes out when an enemy suddenly acts friendly. I am perplexed as to why this person is doing this.

Judging from that point, it seems clear at a glance that Adilun hates Physis.

However, it was fortunate that they clearly understood the meaning of their arranged marriage.

The engagement of two people should not be broken for any reason.

Only then will I be able to subdue them and increase my power.

The fortunate thing is that he made a reason to approach the two even if he was forced to.

The presumptuous word of being a friend, and the words of praising her. .

Of course, it wasn’t empty words that made Adyllun float. It was true that I was attracted to the story related to the dragon of the ancestors, and it was also true that I was curious about the girl who inherited that blood.

How can you hate a girl who even looks mysterious at first glance?

Even though it was a fairly rude request to touch her horn, seeing that she was not very offended and readily agreed to it, it was clear that she was a pretty good girl with a basic temperament.

I laughed self-deprecatingly.

Is it not different from His Majesty, who lives only with the thought of using people like this?

But I couldn’t help it. The tyranny of the central nobility was getting worse day by day, so I had to make friends with the local nobility in order to keep it in check, and I had no choice but to hope that their power would only grow stronger.

In order to become stronger, a firm union was needed so that the two would not be shaken by any external pressure.

then… … It should bring the two closer together.

“Aha.”

As soon as I thought of bringing the two closer together, the self-deprecating laugh changed to a joyful one.

This is because it reminded me of a romantic love story that I enjoyed watching as a child.

Two people on bad terms who were betrothed out of necessity. However, as they act out things they are close to for political purposes, they develop a good feeling little by little, but they get confused and wander around without being able to express their feelings.

Then the villain appears. Clinging to a fiancée who has a fiancée and making her fiancée jealous… … A common yet enjoyable story.

If you put the two of them in the flow of the story, they’ll get closer in no time. Physis seemed to have a crush on Adilun.

then… … Is my role a villain to make my fiancee jealous?

Not bad.

Since I’m of an age that only has thoughts of using people’s minds, wouldn’t it be perfect for a villain?

Feeling the joy I felt after a long time, I smiled as I looked up at the sky with an inelegant appearance half-lying on my chair.

To begin with, a prom would be nice.
