46 “See You Soon”
Cathain’s POV ~
That day, i succeeded into doing the appearance change magic.
Not many in our continent can do this yet, so the people who can perform this is quite rare as one needs pure magic powers to do it.
I looked into the mirror and was stunned to see my black hair turning blonde and my red eyes becoming faint blue in colour.
But i don’t think i should do this to deceive her, just to fulfil my sudden curiosity about her.
Yeah i thought so... Until i et her into the streets that day.
I was inspecting the area as i just wanted to get her out of my mind when i saw her carriage that carried the Dalton Duchy crest stopped.
A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes ca down from the carriage and glanced here and there.
I imdiately recognised her, as she can be the only one who can perform such high magic at this age.
.....
If it was before, i think i would be pissed off; but sohow i didn’t felt like that this ti.
I heard that if two people’s magic appearance is the sa that ans they are very compatible...
Our appearance is almost the sa... So, her and ?
I started to follow her as i realized, this is the first ti she have ever been co outside alone.
‘Why did she co out alone? What if sothing happens to her?’
I was also angry on her, for coming out all alone without anyone to protect her.
So, i continued to follow and watched her to curiously buying street foods, Being confused about how to count the bronze and silver coins as she always counted golds... the sa genius girl that everyone praises infront of .
I followed her as she watched other kids at her age play, walk with their parents.
That was when i understand that we are not different.
We are the sa people who are suffering from the sa loneliness, who has to be perfect in order to carry on their duties.
Who wants nothing but a normal life and breathe because it’s suffocating, where we stand.
She gradually entered a resturent as she couldn’t walk in the crowd anymore.
I entered the resturent from the back door and sat three tables away from hers.
I couldn’t hold back my laughter, when i saw how she was hesitating and didn’t knew what to choose in the nu.
Rather then that, she actually didn’t knew what kind of food was in the nu.
‘So, our genius girl, who knows everything... doesn’t know the foods in the nu and how to order?’
I sighed and called the waiter loudly for a tomato stew and she looked at .
The mont she glanced at , i swear i had the urge to cut my neck because it kept wanting to look back at her.
Following , she did the sa. She called a waiter and ordered the sa tomato stew as .
I felt a little happy and continued to eat as i kept glancing at her ti to ti.
But she seems to have realize it so i left the resturent first.
A few monts later, she left the resturent too and started walk into the park.
She tiptoed and tried to see the clean water that was flowing under the bridge.
‘That’s risky!’
So, i finally went to her and called her out with courage.
“My lady, That’s dangerous.”
Hearing my sudden voice, she looked back in surprise.
“Tomato Stew?”
“...”
Is she calling a tomato stew because of the incident at the resturent?
It was fun to tease her and follow her around. The way she protected the little girl on the street made admire her.
Maybe this was also why she risked herself to save those slave girls too.
Although the others only know it as an accident, but , who visited the scene could sense her magic there.
I covered up the incident as an accident so that she doesn’t get drugged into it.
My behaviour was weird, i was saving the girl that i didn’t cared about before.
The mont she was in my arms and hugged , i felt like i was the happiest man in the world.
The happiness i felt at that ti, i couldn’t describe it in words.
But at the sa ti, i realized, she only laughed and talked with because i was not .
She only get close to because it was her ‘blonde tomato stew’ but not the crown prince, Cathain infront of her.
After riding the carriage, i told the brutal lie i had ever told. I used the dukes absence and his conversation with Duke Heartz, that i sohow overheard.
He was thinking about hiring soone to teach her swordmanship, so that she can succeed the duchy.
I thanked the god, that i never believed; because she sohow trusted my words.
I don’t know for how long my lie is gonna work. But at the sa ti, i don’t dare to reveal myself infront of her.
She trembles in fear everyti she sees , let alone talk with .
I sighed as i really needed to leave now, even if i didn’t wanted too.
I glanced around the room to find a pen and paper when i noticed the letter sent by the duke.
‘Stay away from ns... like animals.’
Hah! The duke is really! Does he think every man wants to eat her?
He even warned , the crown prince, her official fiancee to stay away from her!
“Brayden... Find out about informations about the crown princess. What she likes, dislikes, her weakness... i want to know every single details.”
Brayden blinked his eyes as his expression told that he is thinking if he heard it right or not.
“Y-Yes, Your highness. I will start the investigation shortly after reaching the palace.”
He nooded with a stunned face and i wonder too, what made like this.
I put down the letter and write a small note for her as i climbed the window again to leave.
‘See you soon, my lady.’
