Who Made Me a Princess Chapter 73

Chapter 73

“Did it do that?”

Jannette spoke as if she was hinting at sothing, but Ezekiel wasn’t one to be pushed around. He calmly lifted the cup of tea in front of .

“I just saw a stranger who looked similar to soone.”

“The Princess?”

Ezekiel paused at those words.

W, What did you say? Did you see earlier eating food? Did you?

“You’re making a face like you want to know how I knew.”

Jannette lightly laughed and stirred in a spoonful of sugar in her tea.

“Well, that’s because you look most alive when you talk about the Princess. Did you think I wouldn’t know?

“Jannette.”

“Even right now. You wouldn’t have been distracted if it wasn’t sothing about the Princess.”

As Jannette dipped her head to drink the tea, her hair covered her face like a veil.

“Let’s go.”

But, Ezekiel, who had been sitting on the opposite side of Jannette, just looked at her and put his cup down.

“Today’s the first ti in a while since you got permission from Father to leave the residence. We should quickly go to places you want to visit. I heard there’s a place that makes ribbons nearby.”

“Yes, let’s leave.”

I watched Jannette accept the hand that was in front of her with a brighter voice than before.

“When we get to the store, please pick one out for . I’ll be giving one as a present to her, so you won’t be bored.”

Shoot! They’re coming this way! I covered my face as much as possible with my hair. Thankfully, they didn’t seem to have noticed and just left.

“Gosh. I thought we were getting caught.”

“Their conversation was boring.”

As the two left, Lucas muttered to himself like he had lost interest. I slid my eyes over to where Ezekiel and Jannette had headed. But it didn’t take long for my attention to be on sothing else.

“The food you ordered is ready. Your Napolia Super Choco-Fudge, Pumping in My Heart Fondue, Bluevelvet Secret Caral, Agasa Strawberry Shortcake, Mont Blanc That Fell in Clouds, Sugar Sugar Delicious Sweet Frappe, and Signature Chocolate Dipped in Cocoa is here.”

Wowowow! It was finally here!

“What’s up with the nas. But why did you order so many of these sugar clumps? Are you gonna be able to finish it?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

I responded, snorted at Lucas.

And wasn’t that chocolate drink yours? What was it called again?

Anyways, Lucas actually likes sweet things. He always ate the chocolate desserts Lili made!

Ha, trying to hide that fact that you’re more of a chocolate killer than Blackie, are you. See, your eyes are sparkling more than normal right now!

I lifted my fork aggressively.

“Let’s eat!”

It was after we had satisfactorily gobbled everything up.

“Now where do we go?”

“You’re gonna eat again after eating all that?”

No, I couldn’t eat any more. At this rate, I’d have to be rolled ho.

“Oh! The bird store! Let’s go there!”

I rembered the bird store I had seen anywhere and we decided to go back there.

“Hurry up, Lucas!”

I ran past Lucas because I was so excited. Lucas watched like I was amazing.

It seed he was flabbergasted by my sudden change in attitude since I had been sitting mindlessly at my desk before we left the castle. He was bewildered at how tireless I was.

I arrived before Lucas at the bird store.

“Wow.”

Above my head, there were bird cages big and small. And in each of them, there was a beautiful bird.

“It’s pretty.”

The chirps and tweets of the birds could’ve been annoying to so people, but to , it just sounded like beautiful music.

I walked by the bird cages like I was possessed and saw a pretty bird with blue feathers.

“That’s a grosbeak. If you raise it well, it can also be a ssenger bird.”

The person who seed to be the owner of all the birds left at the call of another custor.

I didn’t know if it was because it was the first ti I saw such a beautiful bird, but I kept going back to it.

“Are you….the Princess?”

I heard a small voice behind my back. Shocked, I froze, with my hand reaching out inside a bird cage.

And the familiar voice once again spoke like it had confird sothing.

“Are you perhaps soone I know?”

Ack! I knew it was Ezekiel without even turning back.

Didn’t he say they were going to buy ribbons? Was it already done? Wait, but how did you know it was by just looking at my back?

“Ezekiel! What are you doing there?”

Shoot, I could hear Jannette’s voice now. No, don’t co this way!

I decided to run away.

“Wait….!”

“Ezekiel?”

It was a good thing I was wearing a light dress with short heels. I ran away from Ezekiel and Jannette until my feet were sweating. Birds of different colors passed by .

“Please, wait just a mont!”

Noooo, why are you following ?

I ignored the voice calling out to and ran around the different cages. Suddenly, Lucas appeared in front of .

“Lucas!”

But what are you doing? Why are you having a staring contest with a bird?

“What the heck, I thought you were going to look at birds. Why are you rushing over here?”

Lucas asked upon discovering I arrived in front of him, taking his eyes off the red bird he was having a staring contest with.

“Ezekiel’s following !”

After hearing my urgent voice, his red eyes looked behind . He squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue.

“Hold my hand.”

Was he going to use teleportation?

I grabbed his hand readily.

“Whoa!”

But what was this? Why are my feet floating in the air?

“Help ! W, What is this!”

In no ti, Lucas and I were floating away from the ground. The bird cages beca smaller and smaller. As I scread in fear, Lucas grimaced like I hurt his ears.

“Ow, my ears. Is this your first ti flying?”

Well, of course it is! When would I have flown before! The only experience that ca close to this was when you dropped from the sky on the Alpheus residence! Huk. I beca even more scared after rembering that ti.

“Y, You’re not gonna suddenly drop , right?”

“Why would I drop you.”

But I couldn’t trust him, so I held onto him tight like he was my lifeline. He looked at holding on to him and smirked like he was amused. Wait. Is it funny that I’m grabbing you because I’m scared? Is it?

“You won’t fall. Step in front of you.”

S, Step on what? There’s nowhere to step on even if I look as hard as I can!

“I’m letting go of your hand.”

As I didn’t listen to him, Lucas evilly threatened . I need to have sowhere to step on to move my feet! Now he was threatening with things that didn’t even make sense. Geez, ok, ok! Don’t let go of my hand!

I shut my eyes together and took a step forward like Lucas told to. There was no way there would be anything to support my foot…or was there?

“What’s this!”

I was so dumbfounded that I looked down, and imdiately regretted it.

AHH, there’s nothing there!

But Lucas was definitely moving with hanging onto his hip like he was stepping on sothing. Everything he moved, his body floated up like he was on so kind of amusent park ride.

“Why are you so scared? Is this scary?”

“Well duh!”

Lucas was amused by . But this reminded of that scene. You know, the famous Japanese animation where a magician and girl take a stroll in midair.

“Strange. Why is this heavy?”

At his genuinely confused tone, my pride was scratched. I once again shut my eyes and followed Lucas, taking a step in the air. And as I did that, my body floated up.

B, But actually, this was kinda fun.

“Anyways, we got rid of that guy who was following you. I did good, right?”

This guy though.

As he looked at like he was expecting a complint, I was aghast.

Even if he had done this to avoid Ezekiel, but he wanted to hear a complint after putting through this?

“You could’ve just teleported us!”

“What did you say? Oh, you want to let go of your hand?”

“No. Your decision was the best move!”

Ugh, fine, I guess once a psycho always a psycho.

But I suddenly had a thought.

“I’m wearing a dress!”

“Ow, my arm!”

I continued to pinch Lucas until we arrived back on the ground.

***

“Now let’s go back ho.”

Today was fun. Although the ending was a bit horrible.

The long arm of the clock we had seen on the way flying here was between 5 and 6. We would arrive right on ti. Lucas kept on rubbing his arm like it hurt.

“This ti you’ll teleport us, right”

We had landed in the middle of a field nowhere. Long grass was waving in the grass around us.

I took a hold of Lucas’s hand first because I thought he would teleport us. But I got a scowl in response.

“Hey, why do you just grab people like that….”

He seed to be annoyed that I had grabbed his hand.

“Oh, well I guess you can teleport without holding you, right?”

Geez, fine then, I won’t hold your hand even if you beg to anymore. Since you’re glaring so much just because I grabbed your hand this once.
