Who made me a princess Chapter 130

Published at 6th of July 2022 05:48:59 PM

After grasping the rough picture, I don’t know whether to laugh or not because it looked so weird just now.

I spotted Ijekiel, and he politely apologized beforehand to those who were at the tea party.

“I’m sorry if you were surprised by my unexpected visit. I didn’t know I would have come all the way to this place, I guess I’m being quite rude here.”

“Oh no, not at all.”

“Rather, I’m so glad to meet you like this!”

“Since you’re here, why don’t you have a cup of tea?”

With the unexpected appearance of Ijekiel, the atmosphere of the tea party truly heated up. Since he has the nickname of being Obelia Empire’s best groom.

Besides, it was natural that Ijekiel was popular among nobles and young children because he had no enemies until he turned twenty. Umm… And what should I say? Although his formal attire is cool, Ijekiel, wearing a hunting suit, gives off wild, manly, beautiful charms.

To summarize, he’s a sparkling, shimmering star shining brightly.

“Yes, sure, since today’s party was held by Alpheus.”

Anyhow, he must be happy, right? Just as planned. Young children like it so much. I can’t even deny it myself, and I didn’t have any reason to kick him out because today’s party was held by them.

Of course, I do have the highest status here, and I was the one who gave everyone permission to attend, so I will keep playing that role.

“Then please hand over your hunting materials to the servant.”

Jennette also seemed to gladly welcome his visit. Perhaps it’s uncomfortable to hold the party alone.

Come to think of it, this is the first tea party held by the Alpheus for Jennette, but why isn’t Duchess Alpheus here? Did Jennette say that she will carry this out alone? Well, from her personality, it seems possible.

“Thank you for understanding, princess. As you get older, it’s pretty difficult to find your way here from the hunting ground since this place is huge.”

“Oh god, I see. So, did you hunt lots of rabbits?”

He coughed at my mischievous question embarrassingly, “Ahem, ahem!”

However, the young ladies had appeared regardless of the unknown reason why they were here. Now that Ijekiel has arrived, they are excited and making a fuss.

“I’m not brave enough to join the young ladies’ gathering, so I’ll be spending my time somewhere else. Please pass this onto Ijekiel.”

Hey, Mr. White. What kind of Cupid do you have? It’s adorable seeing her like this.

Besides, for some reason, from two years ago, I felt like he completely drew a line between us. I looked at a distance and saw Duke Alpheus with slightly salty eyes.

“Oh, Sir Robane is also here.”

TL/n: Sir Robane is Felix, the knight.

“I’m like the princess’s shadow. But are there any other practitioners who came with you?”

“I left them in the forest, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Oh god. Are the practitioners lost? How can such an unbelievable thing happen?! I should gather the knights and search the forest.”

“Oh no, you don’t have to…”

“There’s no guarantee that everyone will find this place like Alpheus did. Gather up, you guys!”

“Sir Robane, wait a moment!”

I listened to the conversation between Duke Alpheus and Felix carefully. Wow, Felix’s eyes are like cider at times like this.

“Duke Alpheus is also working hard.”

I handed the hunting gears to the servant, approached Ijekiel, and spoke to him. According to what he said when he first appeared earlier, he also seemed to be wondering about Daddy’s actions.

“You know that the licensed hunting ground is quite far from here.”

“I think my father is just concerned about Jennette.”

Ijekiel just gave the most sensible reason for Duke Alpheus to be here.

Yeah, it seems to be the most plausible and pleasant thing about Jennette, who was responsible for hosting the tea party all by herself and pretended to be confident. Of course, there wouldn’t be any reason other than this.

“Actually, I almost used my magic because I thought a bear came out of the forest.”

“My father and I almost got in trouble.”

However, while Ijekiel is saying that, he smiles vaguely as if he’s imagining something unpredictable.

I’m used to a certain extent now, but seeing him smile like that makes my heart beat really fast… Calm down please, my heart! No matter how resilient I am, I’m weak against beauty and that’s the truth.

In fact, I have got a strange feeling since this morning because Daddy suddenly told me to go hunt in the hunting ground.

Ijekiel’s face is very bad for my heart.

I had a short conversation with Ijekiel and when I saw Jennette approaching this side. I thought I should say something and leave.

“Out there will be more enjoyable. As for now, the ladies are very happy to see Ijekiel. Then, I shall leave first, so take your time.”

“If the princess is willing to see me more than anyone else, then it’s enough for me.”

But after he said that, I paused for a moment.

As I turned around, I saw Ijekiel staring at me with a straight look.

I stared back at him for a while without saying anything, then lightly responded with a shallow smile and finally turned back.

“It would be awfully surprising if there’s anyone who isn’t willing to meet Young Master Alpheus.”

I don’t know what kind of expression Ijekiel made, who responded with his words like a joke.

I walked back toward the ladies in the tea party to listen to the small talk made behind my back.

“Jennette, you must be confused seeing me doing something like this.”

“Oh not at all, it’s good that you came back.”

Their conversation is warm, like brother and sister.

“Jennette, I had a lot of fun today. Next time, I want to hold an outdoor tea party like this.”

“ The princess’s tea party will definitely be much better than mine.”

It’s already time for the tea party to end. Likewise, I was getting ready to return to the imperial palace among the scattered crowd of ladies.

“Jennette, I will see you again next time.”

Jennette brightly smiled when I said something sneakily to her. Still, I’m glad she seemed to enjoy today’s party.

“May I say goodbye to you?”

“May I say my farewell to you?” Ijekiel approached and asked me.

When I slightly turned my head, Duke Alpheus, who was standing far away, greeted me from there.

Well, it can’t be helped. Ijekiel held my hand right before my eyes. A moment later, Jennette touched my other hand.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

After a while, she greeted me back with a smile as if she had never done it before.

“I was happy to be with you today, princess. Please invite me to the next tea party.”

“Of course.”

I walked away with Ijekiel accompanying me, leaving Jennette behind. While we were walking, he started small talk.

“Did you enjoy today’s party?”

“Of course. It was such a delicate and enjoyable party, so how could I not have fun?”

“Jennette has been looking forward to today so much. In particular, I was very happy that the princess accepted our invitation.”

I glanced at his face next to mine once Jennette’s name slipped out of his mouth.

Ijekiel has a face that I can’t seem to figure out what is on his mind. I stared right at his face and said.

“I’ve been in a constant exchange with Jennette for a long time.”

“That’s right. I still remember clearly about the princess’s debut song.”

Ugh, at that moment, I just realized, why did he bring up a dark past on my debut day? No matter how bad it was, please bear with it.

“Other than that, I still strongly remember the time I spent with the princess yesterday.”

Ijekiel’s voice continued to flow into my ears.

“Actually, I would rather remember those memories a little blurred.”

I had no choice but to raise my head and look at him once more because of the convenient emotions that permeated it.

This time, he was also looking at me, so our eyes met, and he was lightly smiling at me.

But this is fake. Since I have seen him smile genuinely in the past, now I can easily tell which is which.

So I pushed the corner of my mouth up and smiled back at him.

“Really? I don’t even remember anything.”

“Is that true?”

“Ijekiel seems to have good memories.”

When we finally reached the carriage, Ijekiel held my hand using a little of his strength.”

“It would be rude to say that I don’t want to let you go like this.”

“Young Master Alpheus.”

“I know that. Can you at least allow me to bid you goodbye?”

It was difficult for me to refuse him. So I was forced to remain silent as I saw the silver eyelashes and golden eyes below me.

Ijekiel’s lips lightly touched the back of my hand. When the grass seemed to stop swaying, he whispered beside me.

“Then I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again next time.”

Shortly after that, I immediately turned away from him and got into the carriage. The door closed slowly, then the carriage began to move.

I deliberately didn’t glance back towards where Ijekiel was standing. I sat down and flipped my head towards the other side, the scenery passing by came into my view.

“……”

I kept thinking about Jennette, who I had seen earlier for the whole time since she looks a little more passive than before.

If I think about it carefully, she was rather bolder when she was young. To the point that she chased after me alone to bring me a ribbon that fell on the floor during the first debut, and also greeted Daddy with a straight look.

And Jennette in the novel was very lovely. Of course, she was lovely and pretty even now… And Ijekiel, who I just saw…

I looked out the window of the carriage with a slight sinking of thoughts that kept swirling in my head.

“It wasn’t a big deal to hold a tea party after all.”

“Gasp!”

Suddenly, a surprising voice appeared right in front of me. I immediately turned my head towards the voice and screamed as I figured out that a person was sitting next to me with his hand holding his chin.

“Lucas!”

“Why?”

Why? Whyy? Whyyy? Why did you just say that?

“Why are you here?! I thought my heart was going to stop because of you!”
