The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

26 – Grumpy Princess (2)

The procession was long.

As it was a procession guarding the royal family of a kingdom growing at a frightening pace in the western part of the continent, its majesty was also not funny.

Although it was not yet comparable to the empire that occupied the eastern part of the continent, it was intended to inform them of Helia’s strength.

It is said that the significance of participating in the founding ceremony of this empire is special.

As the kingdom of Helia swallowed up Regius and grew frighteningly, it had no intention of paying attention to the empire.

It seemed like they were planning to show off Helia’s majesty this time at a gathering where most of the continent’s royal families and nobles gathered.

Above all, the first prince, the crown prince, came forward in person.

However, it was quite strange that the four princesses, who were far removed from the line of succession, were included in such a delegation.

Moreover, not only does she not enjoy being out in the social world, but she also kicks out all the marriage talks that come her way.

In some cases, it seemed meaningless for her to follow the first prince and participate in the founding of the empire.

“… so. What’s going on, Yuuna? “He suddenly said he would follow the empire.”

Inside the carriage. Prince 1 asked Yuna.

It may have been a suspicious move, but the first prince did not particularly suspect her.

He also knew Yuna’s pain 10 years ago.

“I just wanted to see a slightly wider world. “I feel like I’ve been so trapped all this time.”

“okay. “I guess that wouldn’t be bad either.”

The relationship between the first prince and Yuna was neither good nor bad. In the first place, after that day, Yuuna had no significant relationship with other royal families.

This is because Yuna has been locked up for the past 10 years. Therefore, the first prince also had no particular thoughts about her.

I only have a slight sense of regret.

“I heard that you have been sleeping more comfortably recently. Has there been any improvement?”

“I’m not sure, but I think so.”

“You sure look good these days. Is it thanks to that new escort driver? “I heard he’s in charge of night escort every night.”

Most people in Wangseong knew that there was a new knight who was hired as a night guard every night under Yuna’s orders.

And it was also a well-known fact that Yuna’s screams stopped being heard last night after he became an escort knight.

Because Yuna’s actions so far were so cruel, rumors quickly spread that it was her.

“… “That’s not it.”

“Is that so?”

Seeing her still answering with a cold face, the first prince let out a laugh.

Even though she said it wasn’t her, Yuna’s expression seemed to soften when the escort driver was mentioned.

But he didn’t bother to say anything. Because he also knows that provoking her is not a good thing.

However, if Yuna’s evil deeds stopped because of him, that would be a good thing.

In the meantime, the first prince was also troubled by Yuuna killing people at will.

He also began to become interested in an escort named Beryl.

“I hope you enjoy this festival well. “The empire has a different culture and there is a lot to see.”

“… yes. Brother.”

Yuna answered with her eyes still downcast.

***

It is no exaggeration to say that the founding festival of the empire was a huge event in which most of the continent’s noble families gathered.

And especially, the first banquet on the opening day of the Konkuk Festival was the hottest. Although many unpleasant incidents occurred during the founding of the nation, it was the most peaceful time before those incidents occurred.

“princess. “Would you like to dance a song with me?”

“great.”

I stood straight in the corner and watched Yuna without a drink.

As an escort, it was obviously not okay to drink alcohol, and her behavior was so eccentric.

I heard that rumors about the four princesses of the Kingdom of Helia are quite widespread even on the continent. It meant that Yuna’s evil deeds were that severe.

And of course, perhaps thanks to those rumors, no one could easily approach Yuna at first. They just whisper about her here and there.

However, it was Yuna who broke expectations and stepped forward first, and she showed a different appearance from the rumors.

First, he approached the nobles warmly and made his presence known.

Yuuna was so beautiful that no one could match her in this banquet hall.

Therefore, contrary to the rumors, there were quite a few men who approached Yuna with interest.

Thanks to this, people started asking her to dance here and there, and before she knew it, she had become the hottest potato in this banquet hall.

Her expression still looked cold. However, it actually shook men’s hearts.

I don’t know what the intention was, but considering Yuuna before, it was definitely something that could be called an eccentricity.

“Did you say you’re new?”

As I was watching her blankly, the 1st Prince’s guard who was standing next to me spoke up.

Both were still staring straight ahead.

“That’s right.”

“A new person is coming to the founding ceremony of the empire as an attendant. “You must have outstanding abilities.”

“… “You know that’s not going to happen.”

Considering that all the guards under Yuna’s direct command were young, he was a middle-aged knight who looked quite old.

“What on earth have you done? “I can’t believe the princess has changed so much.”

“I didn’t do anything. And that doesn’t seem to be sincere.”

“Even if that appearance is just an act, the Fourth Princess has not been in the social world for a while. “You could say it’s strange in itself that it came out into the world like this.”

He also seemed to think that Yuna’s latest move was an eccentricity.

I also agreed with that thought. Especially attending the founding ceremony of the empire.

Perhaps it was more plausible to think that she had some purpose.

The two of us continued our conversation without taking our eyes off Yuna.

This was partly because I couldn’t predict what she would do, and partly because she drank a lot of alcohol.

As she danced, her feet became more and more entangled, and her face also became red.

It meant that he was getting drunk.

“Oh my. “If the princess drinks any more, she’ll be in big trouble.”

“… okay.”

However, as an escort knight and a commoner, I could not go in and stop her.

It was enough for me to step forward when there was a threat to her safety.

“princess. “You seem to be very drunk.”

“it’s okay. I was like, ugh… !”

A noble man approaches Yuuna again.

He stepped on the hem of her dress and held Yuna’s hand, who was staggering.

“Thank you.”

“I think you’re drunk more than that. Would you like to get some air together? “The garden of the Imperial Castle is famous for being beautiful.”

I don’t remember very well, but I think he was some kind of nobleman from the empire. He had been talking to Yuna since a while ago, as if he was interested in her.

Yuuna was just taking it in moderation and not paying much attention to him.

You shouldn’t judge people by their appearance, but unlike his polite tone of voice, his face looked truly sinister.

“It’s really okay. “Don’t worry about me and just enjoy the party.”

“no. How can I enjoy a party with such a beautiful person like you? Let’s go… hehehe… ”

“Uh huh… “That’s a bit dangerous.”

The nobleman’s arms wrap around Yuna’s waist.

At first glance, it looked like he was helping, but his touch was blatant.

He went beyond simply touching Yuuna and wrapped his hand deeply around Yuna’s thin waist, bringing his hand almost to her stomach.

He held Yuna’s hand with his other hand and leaned so close to her that it was safe to assume they were lovers.

Sigh-

“It’s really okay. “I’ll just leave.”

“Uh huh… Even though it’s okay. “Let’s go.”

Yuna, feeling the pressure, pushed his hand away, but he did not give up and held on tighter.

Honestly, that goes beyond the scope of being rude.

It was outright s*xual harassment.

However, perhaps because the atmosphere in the banquet hall was tense, no one paid any attention to the two.

We were the only ones watching the situation.

“Don’t do that, come on…” ”

grasp-

“… “I said it was okay.”

“ha ha ha… this person… ! rude!”

Finally, Yuuna couldn’t bear it any longer and roughly pushed his body away with both arms.

And then he suddenly started raising his voice, pointing a finger at her with an expression full of anger.

The eyes of the nobles who were unaware of the situation began to focus on his voice.

“You are just as vicious as the rumors say! “This is how you treat a gentleman who tried to help you!”

“… under.”

“W-What’s going on, Duke?”

“I thought the princess was drunk, so I tried to help her, but she started spitting all sorts of nonsense at me and berating me. If that wasn’t enough, he even used a hand held sword. “It’s just like the rumor.”

If it were the original Yuuna, she would have ordered him to beheaded right away, but she couldn’t because this was an empire.

And from the looks of it, the man is also a nobleman of quite high rank.

I could barely see Yuna holding back her anger. Her eyes were rebellious, but she held back as much as she could.

“This, this b*tch… Where do you see… !”

grasp-

Finally, the man couldn’t bear it anymore and raised his hand towards Yuna, and at that moment, I reacted and ran over to grab his hand.

Fortunately, he was able to stop his hand right before he hit Yuna’s cheek.

“Yes, what are you! How dare the nobles of this Korean-American kingdom… !”

“Please stop here. Wasn’t it the Duke who touched the princess’s body without permission? Although others may not have seen it, I, as the princess’s bodyguard, clearly saw the duke’s shady hand.”

“Kuh, khuh…” ”

As I stepped forward, the commotion grew louder and everyone’s attention began to focus in this direction.

It seems that this duke’s behavior was not good to begin with, so everyone started whispering to him, and only then did the duke take a step back.

“Hmm!”

As all eyes were focused on him, he became irritated and left the banquet hall.

This was a common occurrence at such large-scale banquets. The rumors about Yuuna were just rumors, so something like this could have happened.

However, Yuna’s expression was not that good. I may not have expected it since I was distant from social circles.

“Princess. You’ve drunk a lot. Would you like to get some air for a moment?”

“… “Of course.”

Yuuna and I left the banquet hall and walked around the palace garden together.

I was still following her like a shadow, so it might not be right to say that we walked together.

“… Beryl. “I said so.”

“Yes, princess.”

Maybe I could have won some points with her through this incident.

Whenever I had the chance, I tried to score points by giving her things she would like, but her reaction never changed.

It was a good thing for me that there was an event that won her heart from the beginning of the founding system.

Anyway, my goal is to win her heart. It would be even better if she revealed the deepest part of her heart to me.

If that happens, she will suffer even more when she is abandoned by me.

I had to completely hide my hatred and steal her heart.

“Did you say you were a commoner orphan?”

“That’s right.”

“… under. “Is that why you think so briefly?”

“… yes?”

But what she said next was different from what I expected.

“He is a court noble who holds an important position in the empire. It means that it would be good to have a relationship with him. Clearly his behavior was excessive. But you could have used him and dealt with him in a better position, but you ruined that. “Do you know?”

“… “There is no shame.”

Contrary to my expectation that she would have opened her heart to me a little, she actually criticized me even more.

Maybe he didn’t like it, but he might have been thinking that way inside.

He may have participated in this festival to solidify his position in the social world.

At that time, I thought Yuna didn’t like it, but maybe she was making that calculation inside.

It felt like a handshake.

“Do not move without permission from now on.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. “Princess.”

If it were a different article, I might have been angry about this situation. I ended up being criticized even though I was supposed to be helping.

I also felt a little angry. But that anger never came out.

Because the hatred towards her had already reached its peak. Because I was always hiding my emotions in front of her.

I thought about the next opportunity.

As long as I stay by her side, I will be able to steal her heart someday.

“… “Let’s go.”

I followed Yuna like a shadow as she turned around indifferently.
