The 2nd Prince is the villain who appears in the second half of the story. It's not ti for him to co out yet. But why did he co out already?
I was confused.
I had no choice but to do so. Because it was an unexpected situation!
As I remained stuttering, Largo looked down at and laughed. It was kind of an odd laugh.
A mocking laugh that makes you want to slap him.
But I shouldn't ss with him.
Because the 2nd Prince, Largo, is really a scary person.
He was a very vicious and wicked character as the final villain in the story. How many people died in his hands? Even the characters, who were quite important, were difficult to avoid death if they caught Largo's eye.
Therefore, I should not be rude to Largo.
I slowly lowered my eyes, avoiding Largo's gaze.
"If you're done talking, why don't you go back?"
At this ti, Callian intervened.
"Because I don't want to see your face anymore."
Callian gritted his teeth. It's the first ti I've ever seen Callian so wary about anyone other than . He seed to hate Largo as much as he hated .
Well, it's bound to be like that.
No one stands in the way of Callian's ascension to the throne more than Largo.
On the contrary, the sa applies to Largo.
As much as Largo was targeting the Emperor, he was also hostile to Callian.
Is that why?
Largo looked at Callian, still with annoying smile on his lips.
"Brother, how can you say that?" Largo said, slightly frowning. "Isn't that too much to say to , who ran to see Brother as soon as I returned to the Imperial Palace?"
"It's not too much. So go back."
"I don't know why you keep doing that."
Largo stroked his chin and tilted his head lazily to one side.
"You holds your fur upright like a frightened kitten."
"What?"
"I guess you're not a good one to beco a lion."
"Largo!"
Giggle. Largo said with a smirk at Callian. Callian's face turned red. He pointed to the door and shouted loudly.
"Get out. Right now!"
"Okay. I'll go back now."
Largo shrugged his shoulders up and walked slowly toward the door. Then, he stopped walking and turned his head slightly.
"Aren't you curious why I ca back to the palace so early?"
At that question, Callian opened his eyes and looked at Largo.
Largo's lips went up smoothly.
"Father called over."
"T, that's!"
"I'm sure you know what this ans."
That the Emperor summoned the second prince.
This ant that the 2nd Prince also had the right to inherit the throne. Callian, who knew this well, clenched his fists, biting his lips.
Largo looked down at Callian indifferently, then glanced back and looked at .
"Do you say you're Ophelia Ryzen?"
Why are you calling ? All of sudden.
Sothing was creepy, so I nodded with my face slightly hardened.
"I heard a lot of stories through the Duke Ryzen."
It was Largo, who is openly saying that Sylvester is supporting him. I glanced at Callian nervously.
Callian still frowned with a deep face.
Largo said it again.
"I'm sad that we have to say goodbye after saying hello lightly today, so let's make an appointnt to talk more next ti."
He reached out to .
"We'll et often anyway."
I just wanted to let go of my hand. I don't want to have any contact with Largo.
But that didn't happen.
As I said, I shouldn't have been cheeky in front of him. So I had no choice but to reach out to him, and Largo shook my hand lightly and passed by and left the room.
Tak.
As soon as the door closed, Callian stared at with ax eyes.
"Ophelia!" He raised his voice. "If you et Largo one more ti, I won't call you again. Do you get it?
No I an, why are you mad at ?
*****
Callian grumbled for a long ti more.
So I was really speechless.
If it were who comforted Callian like I used to, I would answer Okay', but I couldn't because my opponent was Largo.
Because Largo was soone I could et at any ti!
So I said to Callian, a little arrogant.
"Is he soone I can't et just because I don't want to et him? If my husband wants to et the 2nd Prince, I have no choice but to accept it."
"Yeah! Your husband is the problem!"
Callian shouted!
"Your husband is supporting that punk, so my power is getting smaller! It's all because of your husband!"
What is this exactly? This b*stard.
I got a little dizzy and grabbed my forehead.
"You shouldn't bla my husband."
So I spoke in a rather sharp voice.
"You must bla yourself for not being able to expand your power yet, Your Highness."
"What?"
"Don't you think it's Your Highness' fault that you haven't solidified your power since it's been a while since the 2nd Prince has been away from the Palace?"
I could see Callian biting his teeth. But he doesn't shout more.
Because he can't refute my words. I smiled more softly towards such Callian and sat down opposite him.
"So that's why."
I slowly raised my head.
"I'm saying I'll help you."
"You?"
"Yes. ."
I looked at Callian with a confident smile. Callian's face changed a little strangely. He looked at with a mixed expression of half doubt and half desire to trust.
"First of all"
Whoo. He exhaled for a long ti.
"I called you to hear what happened with Fleur yesterday."
"Oh my."
I covered my mouth with a fan and shrugged my shoulders.
"You've probably already figured it out, so why are you asking again?"
As I said, Callian must have already investigated everything behind the scenes.
But why are you asking again?
The answer was one.
"As we said, isn't it obvious that Fleur did sothing wrong?"
As soon as I spoke, Callian's face turned grim.
"Watch your mouth. Nothing is certain yet."
"What do you an there's nothing for sure? Why do you turn a blind eye to the obvious truth?"
I sat cross-legged and lifted my chin.
"The Countess suddenly recomnded to try it, saying she had bought a precious perfu. When I refused, she broke the perfu bottle in front of . After that, I went to wash my hands by the lake, and I saw the Countess inside the forest of monster."
"."
So, I followed the Countess out of fear, but then I was surrounded by monsters. Thats right. Because of that perfu, the scent of Kerban flowers.
Callian narrowed his forehead. Then he let out a groan, and he seed to be in a bad mood.
Of course.
It's probably his first ti thinking that she might not be the Fleur he trusted.
So I waited calmly for Callian's next words.
"Fleur is"
Callian let out a long sigh as he wiped his face with his palm.
"She's not that kind of woman."
He continued to speak.
"No matter how annoying you are, she's not a woman who will try to kill you."
Callian, who was talking, seed to be brainwashing himself.
"Good, innocent, and pure she's that kind of woman. There's no way."
Hmm.
I raised my head.
"Your Highness."
I clapped in front of Callian's eyes.
"Wake up."
Callian's eyes shook slightly. I twisted the corners of my lips as I looked at his obvious agitation.
"You have to believe in what's in front of you."
Callian clenched his fist.
He closed his eyes and breathed heavily, and slowly exhaled. Then he slowly open his eyes.
"I can't trust you."
"I know." I smiled. "So I will make Your Highness trust in the future. Isn't that how it works?"
"."
"And you know."
I squinted my eyes at Callian, who seed to be half way over.
"I'm more helpful than Countess Fleur, aren't I?"
Callian opened his mouth slightly. He clasped his hand and looked at intently.
