49 – Fishing (1).

Selina Idenea was enjoying the gazes that were directed at her at the social gathering. It was because banquets such as social gatherings were always enjoyable for her, who had a rather outstanding appearance.

Especially today, as Princess Rodenov was coming, Selina was eagerly awaiting her arrival.

how thrilling She draws attention even more than the princess of Rodenov, who has enormous and absolute prestige. And countless compliments pouring in on himself. Moreover, even the image of Princess Rodenov falling in comparison with herself.

What she enjoyed most was watching the moment when a person with a higher prestige than herself eventually degenerated into someone inferior to her.

She knew herself to be a rather lowly human being.

Selina was aware that she was the kind of person who was jealous of others and enjoyed being deprived of other people’s attention, so she could also see that this tendency was the kind of habit she shouldn’t reveal to others.

So she flocked. After forming a group, she didn’t have much to do.

It was because those who followed Selina drove those who were against her without stepping out.

Because of that, she just had to set the tone. So she has been able to hide her low habits all this time.

Because she was the daughter of a prestigious count and also had a great appearance, there were quite a few princesses who clung to Selina and tried to get even one more thing.

That’s why Selina had the confidence to be the main character of the social gathering. In particular, she was looking forward to this day more, because she remembered the image of Physis Ortaire she had seen in the previous Battle of the Territory.

‘It was wonderful. His appearance was also his appearance, but if he beat even the winner of the National Day martial arts competition with his overwhelming skills, he would become a fairly famous knight in the future. Too bad. To think that such a person should be dedicated to that monstrous princess. No, no. Should I just take it? If he is taken away, what expression will that monster princess make?’

While her outrageous imagination expanded into the realm of absurd delusions, she was able to arrive at the banquet hall where the social gathering was being held.

Many princesses are envious of her, and Confucius show interest in her and try to talk to her one more time. Between them, a handsome man approached her and waved.

“A long time. Selina.”

As soon as William started talking to Selina, the people around him started talking among themselves, avoiding their seats. Because they knew that the two of them had always hated having their conversations overheard.

“yes. Long time no see, William. But what kind of social gathering is this all of a sudden?”

“Do you have any other intentions for the fraternity party? They just sleep on each other’s faces. Seeing our monster princess after a long time.”

“Wouldn’t it be better not to say such things outright? Do you want to play Yeongjijeon too? It’s a shame since no one listens to us right now, if we did it somewhere else, this very social gathering would be your grave, right?”

“What. It’s true. Tsk, just looking at it gives me goosebumps.”

“Ah, indeed. Did you have a phobia of reptiles? Since ancient times, I have been trembling whenever I see a lizard. But doesn’t Princess Rodenof look like a lizard? The skeleton is completely human, only the skin is scaly.”

“shut up. After all, it’s true that it has scales. Anyway, the nobles living in Rodenov say that the blood of such a monster is so sacred and great.”

“Well, it could be. Since there is also a legend of ancestors, Princess Rodenov is a living witness of that legend. Of course, not all of the North is Rodenov, but… … Because Rodenov’s influence is the strongest. be careful. Daevaton can also look like Aiden.”

“It should be. Anyway, what are you planning to do today?”

“What, is there anything special? You should just enjoy it.”

“I’m thinking of grabbing another person and driving him away. You’d better be careful, right?”

“It’s not?”

Selina smiled and retorted William’s words.

“No. Even if you look at it, it looks like it has a lot of plans.”

“No, nothing special. It’s just that I rather like Prince Ortaire.”

“Isn’t that man a bit dangerous?”

“How do you know that?”

“I can feel it just by looking at it. Well, you better not touch him.”

“why? I think I heard rumors about Ortaire’s mad dog when I was engaged to Rodenov last year… … Is your personality that bad? When I think of Yeongjijeon or National Foundation Day, it was rather very gentlemanly.”

“It just doesn’t seem like that.”

“What?”

“I don’t feel well.”

“persimmon? With just that?”

“Are you saying you know how many monsters I sliced and ate?”

“ah. hit. You must have been a knight too.”

“this.”

“Anyway, does the knight’s intuition say that Physis Ortaire is dangerous?”

“yes. It would be best not to get involved. I don’t want to run into you with your neck turned.”

“Do I really have to be so cruel to my friend?”

“It’s because of you, you idiot. Don’t make a big deal out of being seduced by a guy with a smooth face, take care of yourself.”

“That’s something I’ll figure out.”

When Selina spoke dissatisfiedly, William only sighed as if he was too tired to speak. At that time, a servant came to William’s side.

“Confucius.”

“What’s going on?”

“The carriage of the Rodenov dukes has arrived.”

“i get it.”

“Did you come?”

Selina, who heard it from the side, asked William with a curious expression.

“What’s new after you’ve heard it anyway?”

“Anyway, I’d like you to come. I go.”

“yes. See you later or not. Don’t get hit.”

“Be careful with that.”

Selina separated from William and mingled with the crowd of princesses she used to be with. To a place where everyone praises each other with pretense and admires himself.

The story I’m talking about today will also repeat the stories I told you in the past. But Selina liked even that. The treadmill was no different from the treadmill of interest and happiness.

“Rodenov’s rightful heir! Princess Adilun Rodenoff and Ortaire’s second son, Sir Physsis Ortaire, winner of the National Day Hunting Tournament and Tournament, is entering!”

Eventually, the voice of a servant who had been standing in front of the door all day shouting the position of the nobles was heard, and the door opened.

And Selina couldn’t help but be astonished at the sight that was revealed.

No, it wasn’t just a story limited to Selina. Everyone there was in a huge shock.

Dark blue hair tied up and a tiara on top.

A bluish-white dress that wasn’t overdone and showed off the wearer’s charm, and a shawl that covered her shoulders in a color similar to her hair.

And sharp golden eyes that even look somewhat decadent.

The reason why the door opened and was revealed was that she was a beautiful woman who could be called a goddess in common words.

Even if it is simply beautiful to focus everyone’s attention, the servant’s words just heard pass through everyone’s mind, and their gaze turns to the woman’s head.

blue-white horns.

Looking at something that can never be seen as human, they finally realize who the beauty with that overwhelming beauty is.

Adilun Rodenov.

Called the monster princess, the successor of Rodenov who has been ostracized everywhere except Rodenov.

Her golden eyes scanned the banquet hall with a sharp gaze, and everyone who touched them shivered as if their feet were numb.

And at that moment, everyone present had a hunch that Adirun would be the one to receive the most attention at this social gathering.

* * *

I looked at the scenery of the banquet hall.

They were really ugly. No matter how important appearance is, is it enough to send admiration and praise in an instant to the person he hated so much?

It’s pathetic. Laughter flowed out. Had I still worn the scales, those gazes would have been filled with disgust and contempt.

On the other hand, what about Physics? Even though he was the first to see my change, he was worried about my safety first.

I was worried that the scales had fallen off, that something was wrong with my body, or that I was in more serious pain.

He realizes all over again that he is a different person from them.

Holding hands with Physis, I moved forward.

Was this the gaze of those who didn’t even pay attention to me? I felt disgusted all over again.

The soggy gazes begin to cling. A gaze filled with shady desire. It’s a look I’d never received before the scales fell off.

A sneer of disgust escapes from his lips.

“Are you okay, Adilun?”

I hear a cautious question from the side. It might be difficult to hear because of the noise, but I could always hear his words.

“Yeah. it’s okay. Rather funny.”

“You will have to get used to being stared at like that. You will experience it often in the future.”

“It’s okay because I’m prepared. Anyway, are you ready?”

“Yeah. So you’re not even looking at it, are you? To be honest, I am very sorry.”

“I looked at it from the wagon a while ago.”

“Even so… … It’s quite upsetting that they can see it and I can’t.”

Physis, who throws trivial words, perhaps to relieve my tension, gives me joy. In this disgusting place, the only one who can make me laugh.

however… … Now it’s time to catch the fish. Perhaps there will be coldness in that gaze, and we will spit out gossip toward each other.

Our plan was simple. To gossip about each other when people get together after the first dance.

That alone will catch a lot of people. We’ll spit out bad stories about each other.

Their future actions are clear at a glance. Princesses who cut me down out of jealousy will approach Physsis, and Confucius who want to do something to me out of shady desire will cut Physsis down.

And it will poison them.

This is a friendly party. Originally, it’s a place where you should build friendships.

For me and Physis, it was nothing more than a fishing ground for those who were against us.
