We arrived at the Supre Blink Sphere room and we imdiately bowed to pay for so respect.
Maybe I could ignore the courtesy when it was just the two of us, but right now there were too many eyes watching.
"I greet the First Prince of the Chrono Empire."
"You may rise."
After that, I placed myself next to the black-haired boy. He turned to and our sight t; his dazzling smile hurt my eyes.
"It's been a while."
"Yes. It is."
"Ahem!"
Chislon cleared his throat to attract the attention of those in the room. Soon all eyes were on him and he smiled.
"Good day, gentlen. As we all know, we will be visiting the Arcanist Tower. Unfortunately, the Elder only grants us entry to enter the branch's tower located in Syna in the Njord region."
He swept our faces before continuing.
"But don't be sad! We will visit the amusent park later!"
An Amusent Park, huh? Well, I had never set my feet in such a place, neither in my previous life nor in this mont.
However, suddenly a thought appeared. I wonder if the one who transmigrated here chose a newborn's body so I could recreate my childhood experience.
Since I was 6 years old, people wouldn't find it suspect if I acted childish there, right? To hell, whether I died at 12 or not, as for now I just wanted to enjoy the arcades at the park to my heart's content.
"–before that…"
My train of thought stopped when Chislon eyes landed on .
"What is it?"
Yet, he just smiled and took sothing out.
"We must change Your Highness' hair color."
Now that Count Andreas talked about it, I also didn't like how the crowd looked at as if I was so sort of clown back in Axton City.
Chislon handed a bottle and I received it. The bottle contained a sparkling liquid inside. Oh, it was a hair-changing color potion.
"Your Highness, may I help you?"
Fedel offered a hand and I gave him the bottle. He took off his gloves and poured so liquid into his palm then stood behind .
"Please excuse my rudeness."
And he began to rub my hair with it. Shortly after, he spoke.
"It's finished, Your Highness."
"Thank you, Fedel."
"It's my pleasure."
I stroked my hair and surprisingly it wasn't wet or sticky, it was all dry just like before I used the item.
"Does anyone bring a mirror?"
"Here you are, Your Highness."
A big bright smile greeted when the Count lent a hand mirror. As expected from the one who cared so much about appearance, that was Chislon Andreas for you.
The thing that I rembered from the novel was, the author described him as narcissistic. So, it explained why he brought a mirror into his Magical Sphere.
When I said he was handso, I didn't lie. He was freaking handso, compared to , I was just dust on the road.
I lifted the mirror and a boy with light brown hair and blue eyes ca into view. But my brows and lashes were still white, though.
"You look like a rare crossbreed creature."
My lips quivered when I heard Alexander's voice. I wanted to refute but damn, I couldn't agree more.
"Shut up."
"Hehe."
Not that damn bastard laughing at . Tsk. But, whatever, at least this hair would make less conspicuous.
"Thank you."
I returned the mirror to Chislon. He put it back and then clapped his hands.
"Now everything is done. We will teleport to Duke Gustav's fiefdom."
The Guard hastily closed the door and the floor shone as Chislon activated the Supre Blink Sphere.
I closed my eyes when the light flashed and the blindingly white color filled the room.
"We have arrived!"
Chislon words entered my ears and I slowly lifted my eyelids.
–Clank!
The door opened and we stepped outside. A woman with light taupe hair approached us and curtseyed.
"We greet the Princes of the Chrono Empire."
She was Seneca Gustav, the Duchess of the Gustav House of the Njord region. I heard Duke Gustav went to the Yovanny Kingdom as the Imperial Ambassador so it explained why she was welcoming us alone.
However, my forehead furrowed.
'Why did she say 'we' when she was clearly alone?'
"You may rise."
She straightened her back and glanced at the back then spoke.
"You should greet His Highness' too."
A girl popped her head out from the back of Seneca's dress and I was… astonished.
She had long lilac hair, a pair of purple eyes, and fair skin color. I assud she was around 5 years old and she took after her father so much.
If I was not mistaken, there was a line that talked about her in the novel.
[Doubtlessly, Leticia Gustav would beco the most beautiful woman in the Empire. However, unfortunately, she suddenly disappeared without a trace when she was 5 years old and had never been found.]
Leticia was indeed beautiful, she even looked more like a doll than a human to my eyes. Her beauty was unparalleled.
But, I wonder what sort of fate she would face. Was it so jealous people who envied Duke Gustav?
I wish I could help her to escape the plot that the novel bestowed on her, but I had no idea what kind of destiny she had or when that fateful day ca.
'I just hope she will be okay this ti around.'
Leticia stepped out and curtseyed.
"I… I greet the Princes of the Chrono Empire."
"You may rise."
Our eyes connected as she straightened her back, but she imdiately turned and hid behind her mother once again. The Duchess smiled benignly as she looked at us.
"We would like to invite Your Highness for tea."
"We loved to, but unfortunately, we must decline."
Well, Alexander pretty much took care of everything.
"It was indeed unfortunate. Then, I will guide Your Highness to the carriage."
"Thank you."
With that, we began to move. Duchess Gustav and Leticia walked side by side whilst holding hands in the forefront. Suddenly, the girl turned his head and our eyes t for the second ti.
I peeked at Alexander from the corners of my eyes; in case Leticia was looking at him because you know how handso that bastard was, but he was talking with Chilson.
I returned my sight forward and her purple iris was still locked at . I couldn't help but furrow my brows because it was starting to make uncomfortable.
'Why is she gawking at ? Is there sothing wrong with my face?'
I know my appearance appeared average compared to Alexander and Chislon, but she shouldn't blatantly show it in my opinion.
Or was it due to imitating a rare crossbreed just like Alexander stated? And so, I encouraged myself and asked.
"Is there sothing on my face, Lady Leticia?"
"Ah!"
She was startled and bright pink tinted her cheeks.
"It's just… Your Highness' azure eyes are so beautiful."
Her voice struck us like lightning and we abruptly halted; we froze and dead silence was created.
My eyes widened at her next words that almost made choke on blood!
"It reminds of the sumr sky; so bright and clear."
I blinked my eyes a few tis, I was dumbfounded.
'What is she–'
Duchess Gustav imdiately pinned the girl's head down to force her to curtsey along with her and of course, that action made her cry.
"Ahh! Mom! It hurts!"
Ignoring Leticia's wailing, Seneca pleaded; her voice trembled.
"Your Highness Prince Damian, please forgive my daughter's rudeness!"
"Uh, it's alright Duchess Gustav, you can lift your head."
Yet, she didn't listen to .
"It is due to my negligence that this Young Lady has no manners at all. If anyone serves to be punished it's , Your Highness!"
Tsk. As it got on my nerves, I spoke coldly to her.
"Duchess Gustav, lift your head, I won't tell you a third ti."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Only then did she release Leticia and straightened her back. I let out a sigh and looked straight into her eyes.
"Duchess, honestly speaking, I don't mind. I'm just a little surprised because it's the first ti soone from the opposite gender ever praised other than Her Majesty the Empress."
"I… I see."
I switched to Leticia, and traces of tears were printed on her cheeks. I smiled at her.
"Thank you for your complint, Lady Leticia. I'm fascinated by your words and you also have the most beautiful smile. Nobody in this world makes happier than you do. You are breathtaking in so many ways. I consider myself fortunate to et you."
At this point, I didn't care if the people found it cringe, I simply returned her complint. But err… why were her face and ears suddenly turned red like a tomato?
She twirled around then ran away; leaving us behind. I was stunned by her actions sohow. Uh, did she feel secondhand embarrassnt because it over-cringes?
"Young Lady!"
Her Nanny and maids who stood in the back hurriedly chase after her. As I had no idea what was happening, I asked.
"Uh, did I… perhaps… say sothing wrong?"
However, people stared at with indescribable expressions which made even more confused.
