The fake princess hides her scheme

Episode 12

“Of course! Justine’s Morning Star is always so kind! She even paid for the gift for the princess’s maid!”

Then how could a man who is as good as the crown prince not be kind?

Why on earth are all the Bayswater girls like this? April and Milligent used to sing a lot, going by the names Saetbyeol, Saetbyeol.

These are all the evils of lookism.

Raphael shook his head excitedly.

“Did you deliver the note I prepared without letting anyone know?”

“Yes! I hid it in a ribbon in advance, so it can’t be found unless someone opens it first.”

Since I told her in advance that I would send someone, April wouldn’t make the mistake of having the note read to someone else.

Only then did Raphael nod in relief.

“Thank you, Jane. Here, your reward.”

Jane opened her mouth in surprise at the few coins Raphael held out.

“Eek, you want me to give it to you again? This isn’t really dangerous, is it?”

“Just keep your mouth shut. The fee is added once per case.”

“Wow……!”

Jane let out an involuntary cheer, then quickly made a motion to purse her lips.

“I’ll come by at this time every day. If you’re lucky enough to meet April next time, just say hello like you did today. As I said before, if April doesn’t show up, just stay still. You absolutely must not go out and look for her.”

“Yes, Guild Master!”

Raphael left Jane, who was acting all bashful, behind and went out.

Not confident that I could stay in that faraway Bayswater and wait for news of April, I had simply packed my bags and found a place to stay in the island.

When I put my hand into the sack, I saw that two necklaces, including the one April had left behind, were shining in the same way.

“Millie, where the hell are you…….”

Raphael could no longer trust the sources of the system, so he was running around the vast city. He searched for news of Milligent for days until his magic drained, but he found nothing.

He looked back towards the palace where April was.

The tight magical power control barrier sparkled so brightly that it was visible to the naked eye even under the black night sky.

It must have been a high-level pressure to prevent any wizard from illegally invading the imperial palace, and judging by the goosebumps running down my back, its effectiveness was also evident.

I haven’t felt this helpless since the day I had to leave April at the orphanage when she was six.

“April…….”

Raphael began to walk briskly, mumbling the name he had called so many times that it now felt like his own.

The request is completed in 27 days.

For him, who had to get his two friends back, even sleep was a luxury.

***

D-26 until the hunting party.

In other words, today was the fourth day since I arrived in the palace, and it was also the day I first received an invitation to Vivian Hillis’ tea party.

Well, I have no intention of attending.

Vivian’s eyes haven’t been kind to me since the first day she said ‘the Prime Minister’s kid’ and all, and there’s no reason for me to go to a ladies’ gathering and get caught, right?

So I looked down at the small leather pouch on my nightstand, leaving the various invitations to meetings and games unattended.

I’ve opened it up, looked inside, turned it over, and emptied it out more than enough times to the point where I’m sick of it, but every time I do that, not a speck of dust has fallen from my pocket.

The rat squirmed as if it found my appearance ridiculous.

“Hey, you look so comfortable? Aren’t you working?”

I didn’t even look in the direction the guy was at, I just looked at my pocket.

“In the process of doing it.”

But the next moment, the mouse swiped the leather pouch away, and I couldn’t help but get out of bed.

“Hey, come on! Let’s think about it!”

I was annoyed, but Clementine taunted me as she put the pouch back in the drawer it belonged in.

“What the hell? Are you thinking about it all?”

“Oh, if you look closely, it’s worn out!”

Even though I got angry, Jwibangul didn’t listen to me.

“The request is to hide the pouch in the Crown Prince’s Palace. Nothing will change even if you see it, and it will be a problem if you ruin it before then!”

What’s the point of ruining your pockets!

If I could be invited to the Crown Prince’s Palace within a few days, that would be my chance to hide my wallet.

So don’t worry and just bear with it?

A pouch full of dangerous odor must be hidden in the fragile crown prince’s bedroom!

What if our sensitive morning star falls down like a pick!

Then there was a knock on the door.

-dripping.

The rat ran out and brought back a new letter. This time it was Nina Green.

I was about to stack Nina’s invitation on top of the others, but I cringed when I saw the last line.

With all my heart.

So, I read the invitation one more time for no reason and asked Jwibangul.

“I heard Vivian Hillis is ditching Nina Green? So what’s going on with Nina?”

These days, whenever I was out of the room, Jwibangul would go around meeting other ladies’ maids and gathering information.

The guy shrugged.

“What can I do? A little princess who grew up like a greenhouse flower can’t compete with the roses of high society.”

“I guess Vivian will be the one to take out her rivals first?”

“I see.”

The rat murmured in a voice without any emotion.

“Lady Green is no match for Vivian in the first place. She may have good origins, but the difference in experience and beauty is too great.”

“Then why do you bully the little kid so badly?”

The rat’s eyes widened at my question.

“You really don’t know why?”

I looked at the guy with my eyes crinkled.

This wizard A is not so idle as to bother asking the fairy again to confirm what he already knows.

If you have the time, it would be better to review the map of the Crown Prince’s Palace that Rat-Ball drew for you.

The rat sighed.

“You fool, Vivian’s only true rival in this hall is the Princess of Bristol.”

Of course, this is only a story if the princess is real.

“But Lady Green took your side from day one? That put you out of Vivian’s good graces.”

Is that all?

The unexpected story reminded me of Nina’s innocent face that I had seen the first day.

“My name is Nina, the Green Duke’s baby!”

Oh my, my fate.

I sighed deeper than a rat’s paw and went to my desk.

The guy followed me and asked.

“Why? Where are you going?”

Problem Solver Guild Rules, Article 2.

Debts must be repaid.

“I’m going to have lunch with Nina Green.”

Since Nina helped me once out of good intentions, I should do the same once.

***

“Actually, I didn’t really think you would come. I thought Your Majesty didn’t go out very often except for schedules with His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Nina said that only when the meal was almost over.

My conscience was a little pricked, but there was no sign of blame on Nina’s face as she spoke. She was certainly an immature young lady who had not yet been tainted by the filth of society.

“I’m not good at Imperial Chinese, and I feel uncomfortable in large gatherings. What about Green Yang? Have you been attending banquets often lately?”

“I’m trying to do that, but…….”

The next moment, Nina lowered her head without hiding her sigh. The cheesecake that had been served as dessert crumbled messily on the tip of Nina’s fork.

“Maybe I’m not yet qualified to attend such a grand banquet.”

But Lady Green fits in here so well compared to me, the fake one.

“I go to the banquet hall every night with high expectations, but I usually come back disappointed.”

The young lady who approached me so kindly despite my awkward greeting is now so discouraged.

In the end, it was because of Vivian Hillis.

“The most disappointed are probably my family. But my father’s dream of me getting noticed by His Highness the Crown Prince at this banquet is just ridiculous. And here we have the princess!”

No, why did it suddenly come in like this?

This is only our second time meeting, is this distance okay?

The wine I sipped little by little while eating came to mind. Oh my, this lady seems to have a poor drinking capacity… … .
