I did not call you for any static cause, but simply because of my personal curiosity and fellowship. So there is no need to be nervous.
Princess Lobelia, who was surprised earlier, looked at Adilun with a kind smile and said.
What do you an by personal curiosity and fellowship, Princess?
Thats..., I need a friend. Oh, I know it would be burdenso to say this out of the blue, right? But it's because Ive never had anyone who I could call a friend. So its always just people who co for political purposes every ti.
At her words, Adilun and I couldnt hide our bewildernt.
Why does she suddenly want friends?
To Lobelia, who says she needs a friend before getting to know each other properly, the answer we can give is Its difficult.
How can we dare be friends with Your Highness the Princess?
When Adilun replied to her in a rather cold tone, Lobelia laughed, saying she knew it.
Ah, it was just as I expected. Princess Rodenov, you really felt like soone from cold north, but I really like you because you matched my expectations.
...Yes?
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 short, the more I heard the legend about the ancestral dragon Altair and North, the more mysterious and beautiful it becos, so I really wanted to go to the North at least once.
Ah, you should definitely co, and thank you for your kind words...
So, can I touch that horn? I know its really rude, but I really wanted to et you and touch it. A princess who inherited dragon blood. What a cool title you have, and those horns are really cool too. It is round, round like a goat, but the color is a mysterious bluish-white. My God, how cool would it be if soone like you were my friend.
To Lobelia, who spoke with her eyes shining, Adilun only expressed her embarrassnt. Even without looking at it, it was obvious why Adilun reacted like that.
It was because until now, no one had approached her without hesitation like Princess Lobelia.
It was the first ti when I saw Adilun so flustered.
Yes Yes? My... horns?
Yes. Those horns. Thats what sets you apart from the average person. You know they are really cool?
But I don't feel the sa...
Oh my God, really? What a sha.
At the words of Princess Lobelia, who was sincerely sorry and surprised, Adilun, who was next to , asked.
Your Highness, are you not offended by my appearance?
Am I offended? No, not at all! Why would I?
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. You are real and right in front of my eyes! The master of dragon blood! Isnt that right, Prince Physis?
Lobelia suddenly turns a finger at . But that statent had enough validity, so I nodded. If it were before, I would have asked if she was crazy or hit her head but I have already beco a completely different person from before by becoming aware of my previous life.
I completely agree.
Yes?
Adilun, who montarily turned her head to , asked in a puzzled way.
To think that she would act and be swayed by embarrassnt. She still has a long way off,
Adilun, I'm sure that you heard enough of those words and are already used to them, but why are you so embarrassed?
I said it to remind her of our act.
Ahh. Yes, It is true, but when Her Highness said so, I was so embarrassed that I dont know what to do." And Adilun then turn to Lobelia and said, "I apologize for showing this disorganized side of mine.
Adilun instantly understood my aning and regained her composure. Seeing the two of us like this, Lobelia said curiously.
You two seem to be on good terms, hahaha, I'm sure that you heard enough of those words and are already used to them. Oh my goodness! It can not be just a simple arranged marriage!
She smiled broadly and said to us.
You guys look good. After watching only the young aristocrats involved in arranged marriages at the center fighting each other every day for infidelity or what, seeing you two gave a really new feeling.
At those words, we looked at Lobelia with puzzled faces.
Anyway, as I said before, my wish is to beco friends with you two. Originally, good friendships are made between people who have experience and advanced together, but there are quite a few cases where even the feeling of eting for the first ti can develop into good friendships.
Seeing Lobelias sowhat earnest attitude, Adilun and I looked at each other and nodded.
I hope we get along in the future, You Highness the Princess.
too Please take care of , You Highness the Princess.
Really? I am so happy!
Even so, when I saw Lobelia smiling broadly, I thought it would be better to accept her friendship, but I was wondering internally how much she was hungry for being a friend.
Then, lets redefine the title. From now on, the two of you, please call Lea in private. When it cos to friends, there is no need for honorifics.
But wouldnt that be too much?
At my question, Lobelia firmly shook her head.
Nope... Nicknas are mandatory, and it's not optional.
too, Your Highness. I guess its a bit too...
When even Adilun refused, Princess Lobelia pouted and said,
Tell honestly. You two dont want to be friends with , do you? Its not a vacant seat, all Im asking you to call Lea, when there are only three of us in private.
Even if its okay to say a nickna, its a bit too much...
At my words, Adilun quickly nodded.
Ha.
Lobelia sighed at the sight, seed to think for a mont, then spoke to us.
I see. Then there was no half-talk. Instead, please call Princess Lea or Highness Lobelia. OK?
If thats okay with you Princess Lea.
Yes like this. Now as a morial for our first friendship, can I request sothing from you?
As a morial? Yes
Can I touch the horn just once?
Do whatever you want, Princess Lea.
To Lobelia, who spoke innocently, Adilun nodded as if she couldnt 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 , self-talk ca out. Maybe its because its 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, Adilun was the most awkward one. Whereas that Physis still acts quite well, Adilun's expression was revealed on her face. Perhaps it was a lie to agree with when they said that we were good friends.
While talking, when I look at Adilun, who was imdiately surprised by Physis story, a feeling cos to mind. A feeling of embarrassnt which only cos out when an enemy suddenly acts friendly. But I am perplexed as to why this person is doing this.
Judging from what I saw and understand, it seems clear at a glance that Adilun hates Physis.
However, it was fortunate that they clearly understood the aning of their arranged marriage.
The engagent of these two people should not be broken for any reason. Only then I will be able to subdue them and increase my power.
The fortunate thing is that I made a reason to approach the two even if it was a forced one.
The presumptuous word of being a friend, and the words of praising her. Of course, they weren't empty words made to lower Adilun guard. It was true that I was attracted to the story related to the ancestors of the dragons, and it was also true that I was curious about the girl who inherited that blood.
How can I 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 temperant.
I laughed self-deprecatingly.
Am I not just like His Majesty, who lives only with the thought of using people like this?
But I couldnt help it. The tyranny of the central nobles was getting worse day by day, so I had to make friends with the local nobles 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 beco stronger, a firm union was needed so that the two would not be shaken by any external pressure.
Then I 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 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 person who has a fiance and making her fiance jealous... A common yet enjoyable story.
If I put the two of them in the flow of the story, theyll get closer in no ti. And top of that Physis seed to have a crush on Adilun.
Then Is my role as a villain to make her fiancee jealous?
Not bad.
Since Im of an age that only has thoughts of using peoples minds, wouldnt I be perfect for a villain?
Feeling the joy I felt after a long ti, 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.
